After the Thunder Serpent Immortal King activated all his protective dharma treasures, the Blood Dragon halted ten feet away from him. However, the terrifying pressure it released still immobilized him.

Seeing that he barely managed to block the sword qi imbued with the power of slaughter, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King breathed a slight sigh of relief. Yet, just as he thought he had escaped calamity, the golden protective light before him shattered like glass.

His face changed drastically once again, and in the next moment, the Blood Dragon directly crashed into his body. In an instant, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King was sent flying, and the law manifestation in the sky dissipated as well.

Perhaps due to the protective dharma treasures absorbing some impact, Lu Chen's sword's power was greatly weakened. Although the Thunder Serpent Immortal King was severely injured, he quickly recovered.

The power of slaughter continued to ravage his body, forcing the Thunder Serpent Immortal King to clench his fists involuntarily.

Within the slaughter domain, his strength was significantly diminished. Combined with the opponent's own formidable power and the power of slaughter being far greater than thunderbolt power, he stood little chance of winning against this person.

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King was puzzled. Why would such a powerful being, whose immortal path was proven through slaughter, come to a place like the Barbaric Lands?

Logically, someone pursuing slaughter should head to the Northern Domain. Now that the Demon Emperor has returned, the North is bound to erupt in large scale wars, which is an ideal battlefield for an Immortal looking to enhance their strength through killing.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King said, "My friend, with your extraordinary strength, why come to the Barbaric Lands? The Northern Domain is where you ought to be..."

Lu Chen replied indifferently, "Where I choose to go is my own freedom."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King clenched his fists again but eventually released them helplessly, realizing that continuing to struggle was futile. He directly stated, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be planning to establish an Immortal Dynasty."

An Immortal King founding an empire isn't just for the sake of it; it's likely preparation for creating an Immortal Dynasty. Coupled with the desire for Thunder Serpent Sect's land, the possibility of establishing an Immortal Dynasty is very high.

Lu Chen did not respond to the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's words. Instead, he once more began gathering the power of slaughter. Seeing Lu Chen preparing to strike again, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hurriedly said, "I am willing to submit to the Great Qin Dynasty and serve as its tributor!"

"If I join the Great Qin Dynasty, it will certainly enhance its qi fortune, making it easier for you to gain the Heavenly Dao's recognition when establishing the Immortal Dynasty."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King was gambling that Lu Chen valued the Immortal Dynasty more. Typically, those who prove their path through slaughter prefer killing. If encountered under different circumstances, a slaughter-driven Immortal King would likely kill him, as they need to constantly slay the strong to grow stronger.

However, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King believed that one planning to establish an Immortal Dynasty, even a slaughter-driven Immortal King, would restrain his killing nature somewhat.

Of course, if the other refused and insisted on stepping over his corpse to cultivate the path of slaughter, the only options left for him were either to fight to the death or perish together with Lu Chen.

At this moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King was prepared to self-destruct his divine soul in a mutual demise with Lu Chen.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Chen said, "Soul source."

Upon hearing these two words, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King hesitated. If he handed over his soul source, his life and death would be completely controlled by the Immortal King before him. Self-destruction of his divine soul would be impossible then.

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Chen gathered the power of slaughter once more. He didn't have the time to waste words with the Thunder Serpent Immortal King. After dealing with him, he still needed to help Ling Yin Immortal King.

Facing Lu Chen's impending move, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King clenched his fists again. Without handing over his soul source, choosing to self-destruct his divine soul, even in the slaughter domain, wouldn't guarantee mutual destruction with Lu Chen.

He preferred life over death. Though the opponent practiced the slaughter path, the creation of an Immortal Dynasty meant that the inclusion of an Immortal King should be more valuable to Great Qin.

With this realization, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King decisively offered his soul source. Seeing it hovering in the air, Lu Chen lifted his hand, and the soul source flew into his grasp.

In the next moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King felt his life controlled by another. This was an uncomfortable sensation, yet to survive, he could only look for ways to adapt.

At this moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King respectfully said, "Your former servant pays respects to Your Majesty!"

With his submission, Lu Chen immediately sensed a remarkable boost in the Great Qin Dynasty's qi fortune.

Lu Chen subsequently retracted the slaughter domain. As it dissipated, the sky returned to its original appearance.

The moment the slaughter domain vanished, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's voice resounded across the battlefield: "From this day forth, Thunder Serpent Sect submits to the Great Qin Dynasty; all members of Thunder Serpent Sect, cease fighting immediately!"

Upon hearing this announcement, those in Thunder Serpent Sect, who were preparing to counterattack, froze in place.

Their Sect Master has surrendered?

This implies that their Sect Master and that slaughter-driven Immortal King have settled the outcome?

A sense of defeat surged through every member of Thunder Serpent Sect.

However, they understood that defeating an Immortal King wielding the power of slaughter was nearly impossible for a regular Immortal King unless the opponent was gravely injured or nearing the end of life.

Of course, another method was to use a formation to buy time, but this wasn't within Thunder Serpent Sect, whose formations couldn't be used. In this situation, surrender seemed the only option.

Following the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's declaration, the clash between Thunder Serpent Sect and the Great Qin Dynasty abruptly ceased.

At that moment, a distant rumbling explosion was heard, followed by a surge of sandstorms; an obvious result of the battle between Ling Yin Immortal King and Quicksand Immortal King.

Lu Chen's body transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the location of Ling Yin Immortal King and Quicksand Immortal King.

Soon, he arrived at the desert where the two resided. At this point, Quicksand Immortal King was heavily wounded, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and the law manifestation behind him appeared increasingly illusory, as if it could disappear at any moment.

As soon as Quicksand Immortal King sensed the presence of another Immortal King, his expression shifted drastically. Seeing the newcomer was not the Thunder Serpent Immortal King but an unfamiliar individual, panic surged within him.

What is happening? Why is there another Immortal King here? Where is the Thunder Serpent Immortal King?

Ling Yin Immortal King, upon seeing Lu Chen's arrival, knew that the main battlefield's battle was over, thus he ceased his attack.

Quicksand Immortal King warily observed Lu Chen and asked, "Who might you be? There's no male Immortal King in the Mysterious Moon Palace, right?"

Lu Chen responded calmly, "I am naturally not an Immortal King of the Mysterious Moon Palace."

Hearing Lu Chen refer to himself as "I," Quicksand Immortal King quickly realized that this was the founder of the Great Qin Dynasty!

He immediately understood why it was the Great Qin Dynasty rallying forces to attack Thunder Serpent Sect rather than the Mysterious Moon Palace stepping in; clearly, this was preparation for establishing the Immortal Dynasty.
