For a moment, the atmosphere in the sky felt somewhat oppressive.

At this time, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable spoke: "I have gathered some information about the Blood Ancestor. After the Blood Ancestor emerged from seclusion, he immediately summoned the leaders of the various forces in the Southern Domain."

"Initially, those forces in the Southern Domain thought the Blood Ancestor intended to settle accounts with them, to make an example by killing some, but in the end, the Blood Ancestor didn't take action. He didn't kill any of the Immortal Venerates or strike at anyone; he simply used the Emperor's Mighty to intimidate them."

"Just think, an Evil Immortal, and an Immortal Emperor at that, if at the peak of his power, could he really tolerate those ants not following his orders?"

"Therefore, I believe his time is near, and he doesn't dare to act. Once he does, his strength will be revealed as less than an Immortal Emperor."

After hearing these words from the Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, the Immortal Venerates present fell into deep thought. They had more or less heard about the Blood Ancestor summoning the leaders of the various forces in the Southern Domain, and indeed, the Blood Ancestor's actions seemed peculiar.

Just summoning those leaders without settling accounts, the Blood Ancestor, being an Immortal Emperor, couldn't possibly be so accommodating.

At this moment, Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable continued, "We should go all out and not delay any longer."

The Azure Dragon Hall has now occupied much of the Southern Domain's land, and the Azure Dragon Hall's Qi Fortune has begun to rise as a result, allowing the Immortal Venerates of the Azure Dragon Hall to taste success, so the Azure Dragon Hall has always advocated for a full attack.

Of course, it's not just the Azure Dragon Hall. Many Barbaric Powers also hope to advance comprehensively, though some are concerned that starting an Immortal Venerable level war will result in Immortal Venerates' demise.

And for some forces that have fewer Immortal Venerates, or perhaps only one, if their Immortal Venerate falls, they will quickly perish in this chaotic era.

A force like Azure Dragon Hall, which has multiple Immortal Venerates, naturally wouldn't worry about initiating an Immortal Venerate war. Even if some of their Immortal Venerates fall, it wouldn't shake their position.

Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable then looked towards Lu Chen in the not-so-distant, continuing: "Moreover, we have Lu Chen. If the Blood Ancestor is strong, we can use Lu Chen's Chaos Spirit Ruins Sealing Heaven Array to seal the Blood Ancestor."

Hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen just quietly listened to Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable, not saying a single word.

At this point, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader spoke: "There is some truth to Dragon Soaring Immortal Venerable's words. In that case, let's initiate the Immortal Venerate war."

The Hidden Moon Sect Leader could hardly wait. As the Hidden Moon Sect's territorial influence expanded, its Qi Fortune became very thick, quickly increasing his power.

He is now at the Fourth Layer Heaven of Immortal Venerate, leading all Immortal Venerates in the Tianyan Immortal Domain. Feeling the fast growth in power from his rapid advancement, he increasingly desires to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Now that the Blood Ancestor has emerged and has not settled accounts with the Southern Domain forces that previously opposed the Blood Eagle Hall, this suggests that the Blood Ancestor is likely strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He is very eager to know if eliminating the Blood Ancestor could provide him with the Emperor Formation Method.

Hearing the Hidden Moon Sect Leader's words, some were pleased while others were worried, but Lu Chen showed no expression throughout. He seemed to be watching the show, as if none of it related to him.

Lu Chen has also gained many benefits from this war, and the Qi Fortune of the Daqin Immortal Dynasty has been rapidly rising, though the rapid expansion has also brought many problems.

Many of the affiliated forces joining the Daqin Immortal Dynasty actually share the same mindset as the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect; they see the Daqin Immortal Dynasty as a safe haven, rather than truly allegiance to the dynasty.

After the war ends, these forces may very well collude with other Barbaric Powers and betray the Daqin Immortal Dynasty.

However, these are not major issues for Lu Chen. He aims to expand primarily because he holds the Heaven Opening Seal, which allows him to absorb the Qi Fortune of all people. To absorb their Qi Fortune without being noticed, he must continue to expand.

Even if these forces don't sincerely pledge allegiance, he can still absorb their Qi Fortune.

After deciding, the Hidden Moon Sect Leader made some arrangements, then sent the Immortal Venerates back to the front lines.

Once the Hidden Moon Sect Leader allowed Immortal Venerates to engage, Barbaric Immortal Venerates quickly attacked the Immortal Sects in the Southern Domain, fully launching the war between Barbaric Powers and the Southern Domain.

With Immortal Venerates involved, the war's intensity escalated to another level. Numerous small forces in the Southern Domain disintegrated overnight, countless Immortal Dynasties destroyed, and death tolls reached billions.

Both Immortals and mortals, even if Immortal Venerates did not target them deliberately, could still be affected by the aftermath of battles between Immortal Venerates.

Some weaker forces in the Southern Domain, seeing the war's escalation, had no choice but to migrate north. In no time, massive numbers of Immortals fled north, seeking refuge in the Central Domain.

But the Blood Eagle Hall clearly won't allow these people to leave the Southern Domain. To prevent another Heavenly Splendor Hall situation, they had long sent people to set up defenses along the northern Boundary Sea, ensuring no one could leave the Southern Domain.

As the Immortal Venerate war expanded, the Southern Domain became riddled with wounds, its Qi Fortune declining, and a thick Death Qi hung over its skies.

Since the Immortal Venerate war began, the whole Southern Domain has been covered in a gray haze daily, without sunlight, gloomy and oppressive.

The lack of sunlight poses no problem for Immortals, but it is a disaster for mortals; food crops began to fail, leading to widespread famine in the mortal world and countless deaths, further accelerating the loss of the Southern Domain's Qi Fortune.

To Immortals, mortals are like ants, and with the lifting of some restrictions on Immortals bearing offspring, mortals become even less valuable, so the death of countless mortals does not bother Immortals.

Nevertheless, the fact that others do not care does not mean Lu Chen remains indifferent, as the larger the population, the more Qi Fortune he can absorb.

Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

In the Meeting Hall, Lu Chen sat on the Immortal Throne in the main seat.

At this point, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao was the first to ask: "I wonder what matter Your Majesty has summoned us to discuss?"

Since Xuanxiao Immortal Sect pledged allegiance to the Daqin Immortal Dynasty, Lu Chen has adopted a laissez-faire approach, scarcely managing the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect. If something required Xuanxiao Immortal Sect's cooperation, he merely transmitted instructions to Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao.

Today marked the first time he gathered all the Elders of Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Lu Chen said flatly, "Now, the war between Barbaric Powers and the Southern Domain has broken out in full, and the battles between Immortal Venerates have brought great disaster to the Southern Domain, with countless perishing in the war."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone in the hall paused, unsure of why Lu Chen mentioned this.
