Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc, Rivers of Blood Flowing as the Nations Vie for Supremacy!

The Supreme Bone was actually just a general term!

In truth, any bone in the human body could awaken as a Supreme Bone!

The skull, sternum, leg bones, arm bones, and so on!

The Supreme Bone in each part would possess different abilities and amplifications.

Generally speaking, among all these Supreme Bones, the most powerful were the skull and sternum.

Now, merely the Supreme Bone in his sternum had already brought him such a tremendous boost.

What if his skull, leg bones, and arm bones all awakened as Supreme Bones?

With Supreme Bones throughout his body, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing at the thought.

Now this was some real excitement.

"Supreme Bone, Double Pupils, Supreme Sword Body, Nine-Colored Spirit Root!"

At that moment, after Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord had killed Blood Demon Venerable, they came before Lu Chen. Looking at him, Guixu Holy Lord spoke with a complicated expression.

"Thank you for assisting me, seniors!"

When Lu Chen saw Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord, he immediately thanked them.

Although he had closed his eyes to awaken the Supreme Bone, his divine sense had seen everything around him with perfect clarity.

Naturally, he knew that Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord had protected him while he awakened the Supreme Bone, and had even helped him kill Blood Demon Venerable, who had tried to seize it.

"Thanks aren't necessary. However, child, you now possess the Supreme Bone, Double Pupils, Supreme Sword Body, and Nine-Colored Spirit Root all in one body. At this moment, you must join one of our two holy lands!"

At this point, Guixu Holy Lord looked at Lu Chen with a solemn expression.

"Why?"

Lu Chen was stunned by his words, then looked toward Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord before him.

Both of them wore solemn, grave expressions, and their eyes were fixed resolutely on him.

Lu Chen's heart sank.

If the two of them truly forced him to join a holy land, he might really be unable to refuse.

Even though Lu Chen had already reached the Land Immortal Realm, when facing these two, he still felt as insignificant as an ant.

He had no power to fight back at all.

Moreover, the pressure radiating from the two of them far surpassed that of Azure Emperor in the Celestial Realm.

"Because if you don't join my holy land, then in the future, my holy land will inevitably be destroyed by your hands!"

Eastern Cang Holy Lord spoke with a solemn expression.

"The rise of an unparalleled Heavenly Chosen will inevitably destroy every colossal obstacle standing in his path. To you, a holy land is precisely such a colossal obstacle—a great mountain you must cross!"

Guixu Holy Lord added from the side.

Lu Chen fell silent upon hearing this.

"What if I refuse?"

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen slowly spoke.

"Then the two of us will join forces and kill you. What we cannot obtain must be destroyed. As the Holy Lord of Eastern Cang Holy Land, I must take responsibility for Eastern Cang Holy Land!"

A trace of coldness appeared on Eastern Cang Holy Lord's face as he stared fixedly at Lu Chen.

Facing the two terrifying existences before him, Lu Chen felt as insignificant as an ant, utterly powerless to resist.

"Predecessors, my child has the right to make his own choice!"

Just as Lu Chen was at a loss, Azure Emperor appeared before him without anyone noticing.

Azure Emperor raised a hand, and in it was a piece of azure jade.

Vine-like patterns resembling dragons coiled across the jade pendant.

When Eastern Cang Holy Lord and Guixu Holy Lord saw the jade pendant, their expressions both changed. Their gazes turned complicated as they looked at Azure Emperor.

"Azure Emperor, are you sure? Think carefully. The moment you make this choice, the entire Eastern Cang Region will run red with blood. Every nation and power in the Eastern Cang Region will be reshuffled, and your Great Qian may very well be annihilated!"

Eastern Cang Holy Lord looked at Azure Emperor and spoke heavily.

Azure Emperor merely smiled lightly at his words.

"Great Qian has stood atop the Eastern Cang Region for ten thousand years. It is time for a reshuffling. To break and then rise anew—this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"Since you've made up your mind, then prepare yourself."

Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord looked at Azure Emperor, then at the somewhat bewildered Lu Chen. They sighed heavily and nodded before vanishing directly from the spot.

Imperial Palace, Cloud Palace...

At that moment, Lu Chen and Azure Emperor stared at each other!

Azure Emperor's gaze toward Lu Chen was extremely complicated.

There was joy, relief, confusion, and even a trace of fear.

"Chen'er, you're only six years old, yet you've already reached such heights. The surprises you've given Imperial Father are truly too many!"

Azure Emperor spoke first. After pausing, a smile appeared on his face.

"However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. My son Lu Chen possesses the bearing of an invincible Supreme Great Emperor. I am delighted. Nor will I ask how you came to possess your current strength at the age of six. Everyone has their own fortuitous encounters!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness. My Imperial Father was still quite understanding.

However, a trace of puzzlement appeared on Lu Chen's face.

"Imperial Father, why did Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord suddenly leave for no apparent reason today?"

"Because Imperial Father used the Eastern Cang Great Qian Edict to initiate a new Eastern Cang Blood Grinding in the Eastern Cang Region!"

"Hmm? Eastern Cang Blood Grinding?"

Lu Chen was even more confused upon hearing this.

"The Eastern Cang Blood Grinding, also known as the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding Disc, exists for the Eastern Cang struggle for supremacy. Once the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding begins, the two holy lands and two forbidden lands will each support a nation and launch a war against the strongest nation in the Eastern Cang Region.

"If a nation successfully defeats the strongest nation in the Eastern Cang Region, it will replace it, become the foremost nation in the Eastern Cang Region, and enjoy the greatest share of the region's resources.

"Likewise, after becoming the strongest nation in the Eastern Cang Region, the power supporting that nation—whether a holy land or a forbidden land—will also receive the nation's fortune as nourishment, and its power will flourish!"

Azure Emperor spoke slowly.

Lu Chen slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

"Of course, if none of the nations supported by the holy lands and forbidden lands can defeat the strongest nation in Eastern Cang, then the nation's power will rise to a new height, and its national fortune will continue for another ten thousand years!"

"As for the conditions for initiating the Eastern Cang Blood Grinding: first, the emperor of the strongest nation in Eastern Cang must initiate it personally; second, the lords of the two holy lands and two forbidden lands must join forces to initiate it!"

Lu Chen's brows drew tightly together at this point.

"Imperial Father, in other words, my Great Qian was the victor of the previous Eastern Cang Blood Grinding. But what does that have to do with me?"

Lu Chen asked in confusion.

"Of course it has to do with you. If my Great Qian wins this Eastern Cang Blood Grinding, then no matter which forbidden land or holy land it is, none of them can force you to join.

"Likewise, if my Great Qian loses, then you must join the power behind the nation that defeats Great Qian. This is considered a wager!"

Azure Emperor shook his head as he spoke.

Lu Chen's heart trembled when he heard this.

This was a wager with all of Great Qian as the stake!

They were wagering his boundless realm and territory to exchange for his freedom!

With this thought, Lu Chen looked toward Azure Emperor before him, his expression complicated.
