Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

After hearing Lu Chen's words, The Master of Divine Communication was momentarily stunned.

A Blood Covenant? What Blood Covenant?

Following that, The Master of Divine Communication asked, "What is this Blood Covenant that the Prince speaks of?"

Lu Chen indifferently replied, "It's something that prevents you from betraying me. Once the Blood Covenant is established, as long as your strength is weaker than mine, you will never be able to betray me."

Upon hearing this, The Master of Divine Communication's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing The Master of Divine Communication hesitating, Xuanyuan Chaoge immediately unleashed the Celestial pressure. In an instant, The Master of Divine Communication felt so crushed by this pressure that he could barely breathe, hastily saying, "This old man agrees."

Although he did not want to be controlled by others, in such a situation, if he did not agree to the North Prince's terms, he might very well lose his life. He had no desire to self-destruct and die like the Eternally Mysterious Taoist had just moments before.

It was just a Blood Covenant, after all. Just agree to it, he thought; based on the North Prince's description, this Blood Covenant didn't seem all that frightening.

As long as one day he could break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, the Blood Covenant would become invalid, and he would be free from the North Prince's control.

He believed that day would not be far off.

As he thought this, Lu Chen's voice came through, "Well then, since you've agreed, shall we proceed with forming the Blood Covenant?"

With that, Lu Chen walked straight toward The Master of Divine Communication.

As Lu Chen approached him, The Master of Divine Communication instantly became alert, but he took no aggressive action. With another Celestial by his side, he had entirely lost any desire to resist at this point.

Moreover, as a Pseudo Celestial himself, he was in no position to take Lu Chen hostage. With the both of them being in the same realm, he probably wouldn't be able to take Lu Chen hostage before the Celestial opposite him eliminated him.

If Lu Chen weren't a Pseudo Celestial, if he were a martial artist below Master Level, then perhaps he might attempt to take Lu Chen as a hostage and use him to escape this place.

The Master of Divine Communication felt a pang of unwillingness. Why should someone like Lu Chen, not yet thirty years old, be able to become a Pseudo Celestial? They had lived for over a hundred years before entering the Unity Realm. The heavens were unfair!

At this moment, Lu Chen had already arrived in front of The Master of Divine Communication, who immediately asked, "May I ask the Prince, how is the Blood Covenant formed?"

Lu Chen calmly said, "All you need to do is extend your hand."

Without further thought, The Master of Divine Communication immediately extended his right hand. The next moment, Lu Chen seized The Master of Divine Communication's right hand.

Immediately after, The Master of Divine Communication felt the skill within his body rapidly draining. His face turned ashen.

This was not a Blood Covenant at all; it was an absorption of his power. How could there be such an evil cultivation technique in this world!

No wonder the North Prince was so young and had already reached the Unity Realm; he had been advancing his realm by absorbing the skill of others. The Master of Divine Communication bellowed, "You're deceiving this old man!"

Lu Chen chuckled but said nothing, continuing to use the Absorption Technique to frantically drain The Master of Divine Communication's inner skill. However, as a Pseudo Celestial, he still had some capability to resist.

At that moment, The Master of Divine Communication raised his left hand, attempting to free himself from Lu Chen's grasp with a palm strike. But in the very next second, Xuanyuan Chaoge appeared in front of The Master of Divine Communication and seized his left hand, preventing him from moving.

As the skill within him continued to be drained relentlessly, The Master of Divine Communication grew more and more panicked, urgently saying, "What does the Prince mean by this? I have already agreed to serve the Prince, why must the Prince treat this old man so!"

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "Someone uncontrollable, no matter how powerful, is a threat to me. Do you think I don't know what's in your heart?"

The Master of Divine Communication hurriedly pleaded for mercy, "Prince, spare my life!!! Whatever you ask of me, I will do from now on!!!"

The Master of Divine Communication realized that the loss of his skill was accelerating. Soon his strength had fallen to the Grandmaster Realm. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he became completely incapacitated.

The fate of an incapacitated person goes without saying.

Lu Chen said indifferently, "For me, your biggest use is the skill within your body. Since you wish to serve me, then offer up all your skill to me!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, The Master of Divine Communication's eyes immediately filled with countless bloodshot lines, and his entire eyes turned blood-red, as if they were about to explode.

The Master of Divine Communication said viciously, "Since you refuse to release me, let's die together!!!"

As he said this, The Master of Divine Communication immediately tried to gather the skill in his body into his Dantian and then detonate it.

However, the next moment he found that he couldn't gather the skill in his body to his Dantian at all. Although he could still manipulate the skill within his body, it was quickly absorbed by Lu Chen, making his attempt to detonate his Dantian utterly delusional.

The Master of Divine Communication roared, "Damn it! I won't accept this!"

While he spoke, his body trembled, as if electrified, and soon, his appearance became increasingly aged.

At his age, one's life is maintained by skill. Without it, one would quickly grow old, and that's what happened to The Master of Divine Communication.

Seeing the life force in his body rapidly draining away, The Master of Divine Communication cursed, "Even if I turn into a ghost, I will not let you go!!!"

Amidst his roar, The Master of Divine Communication continued to try to mobilize all the skill in his body. Just then, his body suddenly began to swell.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Xuanyuan Chaoge also noticed something was wrong and quickly warned, "Your Majesty, quickly get away!"

Lu Chen, realizing the situation was awry, immediately used Shadow Shifting and left his original position.

The next moment, The Master of Divine Communication's body exploded violently. Although the explosion was much less powerful than Eternally Mysterious Taoist's detonation of his Dantian, it still destroyed everything nearby, and the old city could feel the aftermath of the blast.

Lu Chen, standing at a distance, was somewhat puzzled. Clearly, he had drained the skill within the man's body, preventing him from gathering all of his skill at his Dantian, so how could The Master of Divine Communication still detonate himself?

Could it be because he was absorbing the skill too slowly, allowing him to gather it together?

It seemed that absorbing the skill of a Pseudo Celestial was not an easy task. It would be best when they were beaten half to death, but by then, they might just detonate their Dantian, like the previously encountered Eternally Mysterious Taoist, and wouldn't give him the chance to absorb their skill.

Looking at the huge crater created by The Master of Divine Communication's self-detonation, Lu Chen sighed. Well, although it was only a bit of skill, this skill was enough to help his wives advance several realms.

At that moment, Xuanyuan Chaoge approached Lu Chen and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Lu Chen replied, "I'm fine. I leave the rest to you. I'm going back first."

Xuanyuan Chaoge said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

...

Several days later.

Great Xia Dynasty.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Sum Emperor was cultivating when a shadow suddenly appeared in the room.

"Your Majesty, The Master of Divine Communication and Eternally Mysterious Taoist have failed," it said.

Hearing this, the Sum Emperor's mind went blank.

Failed?

How could they possibly fail?

Two Pseudo Celestials couldn't defeat Zhuge Zhongguang, a mere scholar?
