Chapter 1245: Chapter 935: You Can Leave, But She Must Stay!

The suction of the spatial vortex was extremely powerful, but it didn’t last very long. The vortex soon settled down, and the surrounding void returned to stability once again.

At this moment, Mu Qinglan and Liu Qingyun were still suspended in the void, neither of them making a move immediately. Lu Chen took a glance at Mu Qinglan and noticed that the hand she held her sword with was trembling slightly.

Lu Chen frowned. The last time they confronted the Supreme Elder of Canghai Sect, Mu Qinglan was able to annihilate the opponent with a single sword strike. But facing Liu Qingyun, not only did Mu Qinglan fail to inflict heavy damage, she herself had been injured instead.

Isn’t Liu Qingyun just at the Second Layer of the Saint Realm? How could her strength be greater than Mu Qinglan’s?

After using the Skyfire, Mu Qinglan’s strength was almost comparable to the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Saint Realm. Liu Qingyun’s Second Layer cultivation state is somehow almost equivalent to that of the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Saint Realm.

If Liu Qingyun’s cultivation state were even higher, reaching the Fifth Layer of the Saint Realm, wouldn’t she have the power to fight against a Quasi-Emperor?

It seems subduing her won’t be an easy task.

While Lu Chen was pondering how to deal with Liu Qingyun, Liu Qingyun coldly said, “If that’s all the strength you have, I’m afraid you can’t protect your lover!”

Liu Qingyun’s words were naturally directed at Mu Qinglan. Through Liu Qingqiu’s memories, Liu Qingyun also knew that Mu Qinglan was Lu Chen’s woman, and moreover, Mu Qinglan was entwined with Lu Chen’s marriage line.

Then Liu Qingyun said to Lu Chen, “It seems all you can do is hide behind a woman!”

Hearing Liu Qingyun’s words, Lu Chen came back to his senses, smiled faintly, then used the Evergreen Longevity Technique to heal Mu Qinglan. The injuries Mu Qinglan had just suffered disappeared in an instant, and she was restored to her initial state.

Just as Mu Qinglan was about to make another move, Lu Chen spoke up, “Lan’er, take a break on the side for now.”

Hearing this, Mu Qinglan was startled, then hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, that is not possible. Her strength is already close to the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm, and you’re very likely not her match.”

Lu Chen had only recently broken through to the Saint Realm, and his strength was limited. Even she, at the Fifth Layer of the Saint Realm, was not Liu Qingyun’s match. Mu Qinglan did not believe that Lu Chen stepping in would be able to suppress the woman in the distance.

Although Lu Chen was a Heavenly Emperor, his memories of the Heavenly Emperor had not been restored, and he could not possibly unleash the strength of his past life.

Lu Chen said, “If there’s danger, I will immediately retreat. You making a move later will be the same.”

As Lu Chen spoke, the aura of the Saint Realm also released from his body. Feeling the aura Lu Chen released, Liu Qingyun said coldly, “It seems that you are prepared to accept the fate of your body.”

Immediately after, Liu Qingyun once again used the power of Law Manifestation. In the next moment, the enormous tree behind her shot out countless green leaves.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen drew the Godslayer Sword and gathered a thread of Origin Power within it. He knew that if he didn’t give his all, he wouldn’t be able to stop Liu Qingyun’s strike.

Watching those leaves gradually converge together, Mu Qinglan’s heart grew increasingly anxious, fearing that something might happen to Lu Chen.

At that moment, she reassured herself in her heart that as long as the Heavenly Emperor hadn’t died, she would be able to use the Evergreen Longevity Technique to heal him.

Lu Chen had long passed on the Evergreen Longevity Technique to her. Although she had never used it, she was very clear about its miraculous healing capabilities.

Not to mention healing, as long as the soul was still present, it could bring back life from anything.

While Mu Qinglan was distracted, Sword Qi began to swirl around Lu Chen, gradually converging into the Godslayer Sword.

When the leaves in front of Liu Qingyun finally merged into a giant longsword, Lu Chen unleashed a sword strike.

Ice-Eight Level Sword!!!

In an instant, countless ice shards appeared in the virtual space, as a cold Sword Qi shot straight towards the longsword.

The moment the icy Sword Qi was unleashed, Liu Qingyun sensed that something was amiss. The power of the Sword Qi didn’t seem overwhelming, but it gave her a distinctly dangerous feeling.

As the giant sword condensed by the Law Manifestation Power collided with the icy Sword Qi, a white vortex suddenly emerged in the cosmic space, and countless fragments of worlds flew out of the white vortex.

Without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws, it was easy for a Saint to shatter the virtual space with their full strength.

This time was no exception; the space was equally shattered, but instead of devouring everything like a black hole, it brought things from other star domains into the Chaotic Star Sea.

Once the space stabilized, Lu Chen and Liu Qingyun were still floating in the void, but neither of them immediately made another move.

Lu Chen had just been hit by a backlash from his swordsmanship, and now he felt as though all his internal organs were shattered. Lu Chen couldn’t help thinking, truly worthy of being an Empress’s reincarnation. Even using Origin Power, he still couldn’t defeat her.

Liu Qingyun wasn’t faring much better at that moment. Though she still appeared cold and indifferent on the surface, she was immensely shocked within.

She too was gravely injured, merely forcing herself to carry on. She hadn’t expected to encounter such a strong Saint in the Chaotic Star Sea, and this Saint had an even lower Cultivation State than her.

Wait a minute…

Liu Qingyun then re-examined Liu Qingqiu’s memories, finding some words Lu Chen had once said to Liu Qingqiu.

The next moment, a hint of change finally appeared on Liu Qingyun’s cold, jade-like face, her brows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

Through Liu Qingqiu’s memories, Liu Qingyun learned of Lu Chen’s former identity. Lu Chen in his past life was a son of Emperor Shenwu of the Shenyue Dynasty, sent to the Tianchen World for training.

No wonder his strength was so formidable. She had thought, how could a Saint this powerful possibly emerge from the Barbaric Star Domain?

This villain turned out to be the child of Emperor Shenwu!

The thought alone made Liu Qingyun even more enraged. In this universe, any slightly stronger force would certainly know of Emperor Shenwu’s fame.

How could her luck be so terrible, that her secondary body had caught the eye of Emperor Shenwu’s son, which now posed some trouble.

She had a powerful force backing her, although her patron wasn’t afraid of Emperor Shenwu, if a war between two major forces was sparked because of her, it could potentially ruin their plans.

With a major calamity approaching, Yunhua Palace didn’t have the luxury to focus on war.

Moreover, with Lu Chen’s demonstrated strength, she wasn’t sure she could even kill him if she exerted her full force. It seemed like he had a special power; when she came into contact with this power, her Law Manifestation Power was weakened.

Liu Qingyun coldly said, “No wonder you are so presumptuous, turns out you are the son of Emperor Shenwu.”

Despite still feeling very uncomfortable, Liu Qingyun knew she had to endure for the greater good, so she retracted her Law Manifestation and immediately took Liu Qingqiu back to her palace.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned. Are they not fighting anymore?

Wait, she’s not planning to take Liu Qingqiu away, is she?

With a Shadow Shifting movement, Lu Chen blocked the palace’s retreat path in the air, “Liu Qingqiu is my woman. You may leave, but she must stay!”
