Drawing the Sword with a Decaying Body

News of the catastrophe in the Eastern Region spread.

The neighboring Northern Region, Gusu Emperor Star.

Many powerful clans in the Northern Region were aware of the news from the Eastern Region and received requests for assistance from the Ancestor Dragon Court of the Eastern Region, as well as projections from Dragon Seeing Pass.

In the projection of Dragon Seeing Pass, they saw two Great Emperor emerge from the Ancient Demon, destroying Dragon Seeing Pass and causing widespread devastation. Countless soldiers from the Eastern Region, with a death wish, bought a chance for the Candle Dragon Great Emperor and other soldiers to escape, but left behind the city that had stood for countless Years, which was swallowed up by the Ancient Demon in the ruins.

"The Ancient Demon Royal Clan of the Eastern Region has actually formed an alliance!"

"Ancestor, you've mentioned feeling uneasy lately. Could this be what you're referring to?"

"The Eastern Region is about to change. After so many years of stalemate, could this be the beginning of breaking the deadlock?"

Should we send reinforcements?

"The situation in our Northern Region is already dire; how can we possibly have the resources to reinforce the Eastern Region? These damned Demon have sided with the Ancient Demon, thinking that by helping them gain control of the Northern Region, they'll have a chance to claim territory for themselves. It's utterly laughable."

"The situation is critical, and we need reinforcements. The situation in the Eastern Region is even more urgent than here!"

"Our Lan Family will have your Second Uncle lead the troops to assist us."

"We have already reported to our Jiang Family patriarch and are awaiting his instructions."

"Communication the Su Clan and Lin Clan, and invite them to discuss this matter together!"

As the news spread, the top Lineage of the Northern Region contacted each other to discuss the matter of rushing to the aid of the Eastern Region.

"One hundred thousand years --"

In the land where peach blossoms bloom, the fragrance cannot mask the stench of death. On the hillside, Su Jiuzhe, dressed in a snow-white robe like a wanderer among the flowers, also heard the tragic news from the Eastern Region.

The dragon's roar from the Ancestor Dragon Court echoed across this hillside where peach blossoms bloomed, telling of the lament of the Eastern Region.

"Zhenyuan."

Su Jiuzhe called softly.

A moment later, a figure sped out from the Bright Emperor Hall, swiftly climbing the mountain like a blur, and arrived behind the Su Clan Progenitor, bowing in reverence.

"Ancestor."

"You all continue to hold down the fort in the Northern Region. As for the Eastern Region, I will personally make a trip there."

Su Jiuzhe raised the gourd, intending to take a sip, but found that he had already finished it. He could only shake the Wine Gourd a couple of times and toss it aside.

"Ancestor, are you going in person?"

Even Su Zhenyuan's usually composed face showed a hint of shock at this moment.

The other party is the Pillar of the Sea of the Su Clan, holding down the Northern Region and one of its trump cards. If they were to head to the Eastern Region, then the Northern Region—

"It's alright. If you need anything, contact the Lin Clan or the Jiang Family. Those two old guys should be waking up by now."

Su Jiuzhe said calmly.

Su Zhenyuan paused, his expression becoming incredibly complicated. He said, "Ancestor, that's a matter for the Eastern Region. Even if reinforcements are needed, we can send other members of the clan. For you to Past personally, wouldn't that be too much—"

"Too what?"

Su Jiuzhe's eyes darted around, looking at him warily.

When he saw the complex expression on Su Zhenyuan's face as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, his eyes suddenly turned fierce. "What is reinforcement? Reinforcement means pouring out all your remaining strength when you still have some left."

"You think the reinforcements to the Eastern Region are just for show? If the Eastern Region falls, the Ancient Demon will surely rise to power and sweep across all regions of the True Realm. Other regions will also be doomed!"

Su Zhenyuan was stunned by his Emperor's Might and stood frozen in place, speechless.

He was well aware that this reinforcement was of great significance, but Su Jiuzhe was of even greater significance to the Su Clan!

After reprimanding him, Su Jiuzhe saw the distressed look on Su Zhenyuan's face, and his sharp gaze softened slightly. He knew perfectly well what this little one, connected by Bloodline, was thinking. He sighed softly:

"With those two old fellows, Jiang and Lin, holding the fort in the Northern Region, it's safe for now. These Ancient Demon Ten Clans are certainly not fully united yet; at most, it's just a few royal families joining forces. If they manage to break through the Eastern Region, the other Ancient Demon Royal Clan, seeing the benefits, will inevitably temporarily unite to attack other major regions as well."

"My already rotting body is better off fighting its way out of the Northern Region rotting here!"

His gaze grew serious, and he said earnestly, "I will not only go to the Eastern Region, but I will also let the entire Northern Region know that I am coming to the aid of the Eastern Region!"

Su Zhenyuan stood there, staring at him blankly and in shock, unable to comprehend the Progenitor's thoughts.

Su Jiuzhe had already stood up; his tall, snow-white figure resembled that of a peerless sword emperor, exuding an aura that seemed to defy Heaven and Earth.

"Countless people think like you, wavering and hesitant, prioritizing their own interests—this is human nature, and it's the norm. What I, Su Jiuzhe, want to do is make everyone know that my Su Clan can send a heavy sword to aid us, and that I, Su Jiuzhe, will become the sword that unites the Four Regions!"

Hearing his words, Su Zhenyuan was completely shocked.

He understood the Progenitor's thoughts and set an example for other major clans to see his determination to provide reinforcements.

Progenitor Su Zhenyuan trembled slightly, overwhelmed by a mixture of excitement and sorrow. "If everyone in the world were like Su Jiuzhe, what would the Ancient Demon Clan be to fear?"

But in this world, there is only one Su Jiuzhe, one of a kind!

"Zhen Yuan, guard the Northern Region!"

Su Jiuzhe gave Su Zhenyuan a deep look and said.

At this moment, Su Zhenyuan would no longer offer any words of dissuasion. His mountain-like body bent slightly, and he knelt on the ground, bowing deeply.

"The Su Clan Bloodline respectfully sends off their Progenitor to fight in the Eastern Region!!"

His words, filled with sorrow, heroism, and grandeur, shook the peach blossoms all over the mountain, spreading beyond this Ancestral Land, throughout the entire Su Clan mansion, and even reaching the entire Gusu Emperor Star!

The Progenitor said that not only should we leave, but we should also let everyone know that the Su Clan is coming to our aid!

Therefore, Su Zhenyuan did not hold back.

His words resonated throughout the entire Xingchen. Countless Lineage, still reeling from the news of the attack on the Eastern Region, heard Su Zhenyuan's words. They knew this current Family Head of the Su Clan all too well, and they were all deeply shocked.

"What?!"

"The Su Clan Progenitor personally reinforced the Eastern Region?!"

"The Su Clan's Progenitor personally took action?!"

The Jiang Family, the Lin Clan, the Lan Family, and other major Lineage were all shocked and incredulous.

The other party is the Progenitor of the Su Clan, the Pillar of the Sea of the Northern Region, and he actually came to personally reinforce the Eastern Region!

Deep within the Lin family's ancestral homeland, buried in an underground karst cave.

In the center of a demon-sealing array lies an ancient bronze coffin.

At this moment, the coffin suddenly shook and then sprang open, and a withered hand emerged from inside. The hand grasped the edge of the coffin, and when the light from the Green Lantern on the rock wall shone on the hand, a miraculous scene appeared. The hand seemed to be infused with some kind of power, gradually becoming fuller from its withered state, and from black to snow-white. Soon, the hand transformed into slender jade fingers, like the most exquisite porcelain in the world.

"Always being the first, you haven't changed at all--"

An aged voice rang out, but as it spoke the second half of the sentence, it transformed into the melodious, silvery voice of a young girl, incredibly pleasant and brimming with boundless vitality.

"Really? The Su Clan Progenitor is personally leading the battle against the Eastern Region? Then who will be in charge of the Northern Region?!"

"The Su Clan is so foolish!"

Many powerful clans were awestruck by the Su Clan's power, while others were immediately filled with panic. With the Su Clan's Great Emperor gone, who would guard the Northern Region?

But the most shocked were the members of the Su Clan in the Su Clan mansion.

They never expected that the Family Head would respectfully escort their Progenitor to the Eastern Region to meet the enemy.

"The Progenitor —how could that be?"

Countless members of the Su Clan stared blankly at the Su Clan Ancestral Land.

On the Peach Blossom Mountain, Su Jiuzhe's gaze slowly descended, landing on the figure kneeling and prostrating on the ground. A rare Wenrou appeared in her eyes as she softly said:

"Alright, the Su Clan is now in your hands!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a sword cry suddenly rang out, shaking the entire Emperor Star and even spreading throughout the Starry Sky.

"Eastern Region, receive the sword!"

Su Jiuzhe's voice resounded through Heaven and Earth, and his figure suddenly rose higher, like Law, Heaven and Earth manifesting, his enormous Dharma Form appearing, boundless and huge, enveloping the entire Gusu Emperor Star.

This Emperor Star, home to numerous powerful clans and celestial Immortal King and Quasi-Emperor Realm, is vast and boundless. Yet, before Su Jiuzhe's majestic imperial countenance, it appears as insignificant as a mud ball in his hand!

He looked up, waved his hand, and an Emperor Path appeared in the Starry Sky. This Emperor Path exuded Emperor's Might that made the Starry Sky tremble, piercing through Time and Space and leading to a distant place.

Su Jiuzhe embarked on the Emperor Path, without looking back, and went straight ahead.

Seeing this, countless people on the Emperor Star were shocked and stunned. They had not expected the Emperor's Might to be so terrifying, nor had they expected that the other party would actually leave.

In an instant, many Lineage cried out in despair, trying to win back this Immortal Emperor of the Northern Region.

Amidst this mournful atmosphere, another powerful Aura suddenly emerged, instantly enveloping the entire Emperor Star.

On the Emperor Star, a figure of ethereal beauty appeared, her expression cold and indifferent, and she slowly spoke:

"The Su Family Head has rushed to the aid of the Eastern Region; the Lin Clan will remain in charge of the Northern Region!"

Hearing her clear and undeniably authoritative voice, countless people who were feeling panicked were stunned, and then their eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

"It's the Lin Family Great Emperor!"

"The Lin Clan's Progenitor has actually reappeared!"

"Fortunately, the Lin Clan's Progenitor didn't leave; this must have been agreed upon with the Su Clan."

Many powerful clans breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were impressed by the Su Clan's courage in coming to their aid, Su Jiuzhe's departure still frightened them, worrying that their old stronghold in the Northern Region would be invaded by the Ancient Demon.

But now that the Lin Family Great Emperor has appeared, the Northern Region has another powerful backer.

"Our Lin Clan's Progenitor has actually Awakening!"

The Lin Clan members were overjoyed and cheered excitedly.

"Even the Su Clan Progenitor has gone to reinforce, and the Lin Family Great Emperor is stationed in the Northern Region. In my Qiu Family, who is willing to follow the Su Clan Progenitor to reinforce?"

"The Eastern Region cannot be breached. If it falls, the flames of war will inevitably spread to the Northern Region sooner or later. The Su Clan Progenitor stepped forward because he must have seen this. Those Ancient Demon Ten Clans are certainly not united yet; they can only attack one region, and we must defend it!"

"Although I have never been to the Eastern Region, I am willing to go to Eastern Region aid this time!"

Many powerful clans were willing to offer assistance; the fierce war Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe was a bloody lesson for some long-established clans.

Moreover, the Su Clan Progenitor has set off. If this relief effort is successful, the post-war reckoning will undoubtedly bring many benefits, especially in terms of reputation.

In many future crises, these Lineage who have provided assistance will also form alliances.

At this moment, an Emperor Path traversed the True Realm, extending not only from the Northern Region. The Aura of the Great Emperor reverberated through the Starry Sky, and all the races and clans along the way felt it. Many powerful figures appeared one after another, and some Quasi-Emperor Realm Clan Elder also broke through their seclusion, alarmed by the Aura of the Great Emperor sweeping across the starry Starry Sky.

This Aura was not concealed in the slightest; it was earth-shattering. With the cultivation of Great Emperor, if he wanted to reveal it, he could make the entire True Realm glimpse his figure and hear his voice!

"A Great Emperor has appeared in the world!"

"Who is that? They seem to be from the Northern Region!"

"That Aura —that's the shadow of the Spring Severing Emperor Sword!"

"Could that be the ruler of the Northern Region?!"

Many powerful figures from other major clans also knew of Su Jiuzhe's reputation. As Great Emperor, his ascension to the throne would be known throughout the entire True Realm, and his imperial name would resound. However, many of those who knew of him had already perished, but those powerful figures from those major clans had all witnessed Su Jiuzhe's ascension to the throne.

The distant Eastern Region.

In the Ancestor Dragon Court.

The Ancestor Dragon Court, so noble and luxurious as to be a thousand times more magnificent than the Heavenly Palace Ancestral Dragon Hall, had a pair of aged dragon eyes gazing at the Emperor Path that pierced through the Star River Way. A hint of unspeakable emotion appeared in his eyes, followed by a long-lost knowing smile.

The Original True World, the Extreme Dao Mountain.

The Dragon Token of the Ancestor Dragon Court was now in the hands of Dao Source Immortal Emperor inside the main hall.

The dragon's roar had ended, and he already knew the situation in the Eastern Region. Not long ago, he had a premonition and tried to peek into the future through Destiny, only to find that the fate of the Eastern Region was chaotic and unclear. However, within that chaos, there was a gray haze, which meant that there had been countless casualties.

The inability to see through things is itself a terrifying situation.

"As expected, something happened in the Eastern Region-- "

Dao Source Immortal Emperor frowned, thinking of the little disciple he had recently sent. A hint of worry appeared in his eyes. He could not foresee Li Hao's Destiny, nor could he see that this little disciple possessed the power of the Heavenly Dao, which was interfering with Destiny.

He had just sent the other party Past when he saw the chaotic fate of the Eastern Region. If he had seen it beforehand, he would not have sent Li Hao to the Eastern Region for training.

"No mercy, Mo Fan."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor whispered, "Qing Huang."

As he summoned him, three figures quickly appeared in the hall; they were his three disciples, from his eldest to his Third Disciple.

All three are Quasi-Emperor Realm experts. Even in the chaotic world of the Ancient Demon War, they have the power to protect themselves. Although even Emperor Venerable in such a calamity can perish, Quasi-Emperor Realm are not so easy to die as long as they are not drawn into the deepest vortex.

"Master."

Di Wushe, Gu Mofan, and others appeared one after another, all with solemn expressions.

They all already knew that something had happened in the Eastern Region, and their respective Lineage had received a plea for help from the Old Dragon of the Eastern Region 'Ancestor Dragon Court. "Your Junior Little Brother recently went to the Eastern Region for training, along with your fifth junior brother."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor slowly said, "Go and escort your Junior Little Brother back. As for Qingge, if he is willing to fight to the death for the Eastern Region, there is no need to stop him. That is his homeland. If it is his Dao Heart's desire, then let him be. There are many things in this world that transcend the meaning of life!"

Gu Mofan, Di Wushe Zhan Qinghuang all tensed up, as they already knew about the battle situation in the Eastern Region from their Lineage.

"Is it just to pick up the Junior Little Brother, or are we going to reinforce the Eastern Region?"

Gu Mofan asked.

Dao Source Immortal Emperor Daoyuan, sensing something, looked up at the sky and, through the layers separating the Original True World from the True Realm, saw in the magnetic image visible only to Han, the Emperor Path that traverses the Star River.

That body, which should have been rotten long ago, was now soaring freely in the Starry Sky.

"You are all still too weak to contend with, just one step away from victory. You must strive to become emperors as soon as possible. If the Eastern Region comes to a critical moment, your master will personally intervene."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor spoke slowly.
