Seeing Ningjing Taoist's consent, Sima Haoyan felt a great joy in his heart; he could finally take his revenge.
The Ningjing Taoist possessed the strength of the First Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm. In his demonized state utilizing the Power of the Heavenly Demon, he could even easily slay a cultivator of the Fifth Layer of the Returning Ruin Realm.
Soon, Sima Haoyan took Ningjing Taoist to the Tianchen World.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen was unaware that a new enemy had come looking for him. Over the next two years, he once again solidified his control over the Ziyang and Lieyan Worlds.
As his grip over the three worlds became ever firmer, Lu Chen entertained a thought; it was time to establish an empire.
Their territory was no longer confined to a single world but spanned the entire Chaotic Star Sea. To govern territories generally measured by star domains, only an empire could suffice.
