Upon hearing what Yuanmo Laozu said, Lu Chen immediately gained a slight understanding of his character; he was actually going to challenge many experts in the Central Plains himself.
One thing was certain: the ferocity and arrogance of this old monkey had not been diminished, even after the great calamity three thousand years ago, which had not changed him much.
At the same time, Lu Chen also grasped another piece of information. Although this monkey was proud and loved to challenge various experts, he might not necessarily be his enemy; instead, he could become a friend.
He would not deliberately interfere with the operation of fate; he only did what interested him, and he might not adhere to principles.
"I almost forgot my true purpose for coming here. I am here to take revenge for my monkey descendants. You people from the Central Plains cannot stay in the Demon Kingdom; I will drive you out," Yuanmo Laozu said slowly.
"Wait a moment, Yuanmo Laozu, listen to me. You and I are not true enemies. Your enemies are not mine. Like you, I have my own enemies, and they are not you. You should understand this," Lu Chen said.
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yuanmo Laozu hesitated. The murderous aura that had risen on his face immediately subsided.
"No need for too much explanation, Yuanmo Laozu. You are leading your descendants to battle in the north. If I guess correctly, you have already suffered defeat, haven't you? There must be existences in the northern part of your Demon Kingdom that are stronger than you, which is why you lost in the north and had no choice but to return to your southern lair, attempting to drive us away. Am I right?"
Lu Chen wore a confident smile as he began to speculate on Yuanmo Laozu's thoughts. It was simple; he was judging based on the situation. If Yuanmo Laozu had won in the north, given his character, he would have charged straight in rather than return to his lair.
"What do you really want?" Yuanmo Laozu asked coldly with a sneer.
"Haha, it seems I was right. Yuanmo Laozu, don't be anxious. There is an old saying in our Central Plains: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' Just imagine if I allied with your enemies behind you to launch a joint attack on your Giant Ape Clan from both sides; do you think you would have any hope of victory?" Lu Chen analyzed.
"What? You dare? I will tear you apart! Even if you reclaim the Central Plains, I will make sure your body is shattered into pieces," Yuanmo Laozu said furiously upon hearing Lu Chen's words, baring his teeth and nearly pouncing forward.
"Listen to me first; I was just giving an example. What if the situation were reversed? What would happen then?" Lu Chen said with a sinister smile directed at Yuanmo Laozu.
Yuanmo Laozu's eyes shifted as he replied, "Are you suggesting that we join forces? You want me to help you eliminate your enemies in the Central Plains and use me as a weapon?"
"No, just imagine, this way we can benefit each other. I will help you eliminate the enemies behind you and reclaim the territory they have taken from you. Once you are satisfied in the future, we can discuss my matters, how does that sound?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"It sounds tempting, you're quite the strategist. But what if I change my mind later? Wouldn't that leave you at a disadvantage?" Yuanmo Laozu replied.
After a pause, Yuanmo Laozu added, "Also, do you know how powerful the enemies I face are? You seem so confident; aren't you afraid of aiming too high and not being able to come down? Your soul cultivation is still insufficient to reach Void Immortal, and your Qigong Martial Arts haven't reached Elysium of Longevity. I think you're being overly confident. Do you know how terrifying a Void Immortal is?"
"Yuanmo Laozu, why do you look down on me? Since you don't believe in me, we can have a contest to see whether you are stronger or if I, Lu Chen, am superior," Lu Chen suggested.
Just then, a change occurred on the battlefield below. Among the piles of Giant Apes, two mechanized dragons broke through the encirclement, continuously using their hooked steel blades to slice through the nearby Giant Apes as if it were a slaughter.
They had managed to break free. The earlier wave of sleeping Giant Apes had surged over like a tide with great momentum but could not stop the advance of the two Dragonbone Chariots.
From the situation, it was clear that the Giant Ape Clan still held the upper hand. No matter how many there were, one could easily crush a Dragonbone Chariot.
However, relying on the power of the Source Stones within, the two Dragonbone Chariots dominated the battlefield with an unstoppable force. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the Giant Ape Clan faced defeat.
Moreover, not far away in the city, countless Fire Thunder Cannons were aimed at the battlefield. If the Giant Ape Clan dared to advance even a step, with Lu Chen's command, they would be obliterated instantly, suffering heavy casualties regardless.
At the last line of defense in the city, there were numerous Youths and Qi Masters along with various combat mechanisms. It would truly be difficult to determine who would prevail.
Seeing this scene, Yuanmo Laozu's expression changed slightly. He was astonished by the power of the Dragonbone Chariots that could defeat his own kin.
"Yuanmo Laozu, let's not waste any more time. Shouldn't we come to a conclusion between us?" Lu Chen suddenly intensified his tone, putting immense pressure on Yuanmo Laozu to make a decision.
"Are you really going to fight me?" Yuanmo Laozu squinted his eyes. A hint of disdain appeared on his youthful and handsome face. If he could engage in a fierce battle with Lu Chen, it might not be an unpleasant experience after all.
“Yuanmo Laozu, this matter has dragged on for so long, all depends on your decision. Success or failure is in your hands, so you decide!”
Lu Chen said this decisively, then used Rift Spell to open Jun Bell, releasing the Treasure Guardian Beast.
In an instant, a powerful Immortal Aura descended, enveloping the surroundings, including Yuanmo Laozu, who sensed it clearly.
“Hmm, a Void Immortal,” Yuanmo Laozu murmured after a moment of contemplation.
A true Void Immortal, and one cultivated from a strange beast, is extremely rare. Moreover, the Treasure Guardian Beast possesses a True Dragon Bloodline and an imperial aura, which Yuanmo Laozu could not possibly miss; he simply chose not to show it.
In truth, given his current level, even a Void Immortal would not be much of a concern for him.
However, for no apparent reason, Lu Chen had gained another card up his sleeve, undoubtedly boosting his confidence. It was clear that Lu Chen had substantial backing; with a Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger situation beneath him, having a Void Immortal serve him along with that peculiar mechanical creation was significant.
Based on these clues, Lu Chen had already reached a level where he could dominate a region, being at the level of a Master Level Expert.
Yet, these factors were still insufficient to convince Yuanmo Laozu to join forces with Lu Chen. Was it because he deemed Lu Chen too weak or did he have other concerns?
At that moment, on an island several dozen miles away from the battlefield, by the edge of a cliff.
The Dragon Clone manifested in human form, standing alone at the cliff's edge with hands clasped behind his back and his body straight. He occasionally perked up his ears to listen for any information coming from that direction.
“Indeed, it’s true; another Void Immortal. That kid named Lu Chen actually has so many capable individuals serving him. Coupled with that Half-Dragon Bloodline, there are two Void Immortals. I am no longer his match. Fortunately, that group led by Feng Poyi has left; otherwise, causing trouble would create many issues for the Cult. Now that things have come to this point, it’s beyond my control. It seems I need to return and consult with the Divine Dragon's Hideout, letting them make the decision,” thought the Dragon Clone.
The Dragon Clone had been pursuing Lu Chen from the Central Plains to the Wasteland Continent, almost intervening several times but ultimately refraining.
Until now, it was discovered that Lu Chen had another Void Immortal by his side. However, because it was too far away, it did not dare to get too close, fearing that if it went, it might not come back.
Thus, Dragon Clone continuously used stealth techniques to release Divine Sense to investigate until it finally confirmed that indeed there was another Void Immortal beside Lu Chen, and its level was not low, comparable to that of Divine Dragon's Hideout, slightly inferior to the Essence of Yin Yang Gate.
"Hmm? Not good, they have found me. This one is also a beast cultivated into an immortal, and at the level of Divine Dragon's Hideout. It seems I should leave."
With that, Dragon Clone manifested into a giant dragon form, soaring into the Nine Heavens, flying forward along the thick clouds towards Middle-earth.
Just now, that Void Immortal, whose cultivation was equivalent to that of Divine Dragon's Hideout, actually released a strand of Divine Sense over and discovered Dragon Clone. Therefore, it had to leave; if the other party counterattacked and captured it, wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment?
On the battlefield, Lu Chen was still confronting Yuanmo Laozu, both sides having their own calculations, with the key issues resting on their thoughts.
Yuanmo Laozu looked astonished and muttered to himself: "That's right, it really is another Void Immortal. This child called Lu Chen has mediocre cultivation? Yet so many people serve him? Now there are already two Void Immortals. That fellow is hiding in the distance, thinking I can't see him? He appears so carelessly and then hides again. His intentions are deceitful. If I engage in a decisive battle with Lu Chen, I will surely be ambushed; at that time, my monkeys and descendants will suffer."
Yuanmo Laozu pondered alone for a long time but still could not make up his mind. The presence of two Void Immortals backing up Lu Chen made such strength untempting to him.
Yuanmo Laozu blinked and clenched his teeth. Somehow, after thousands of years, the decisive heart he once had disappeared, leaving him hesitant and extremely uncomfortable.
The current Lu Chen seemed powerful, but cooperating with him carried many risks. This person was too cunning; his age and scheming were astonishingly deep, making him hard to trust easily.
