The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 673 Drawing the Sword with a Corrupted Body

News of the catastrophe in the Eastern Region spread.

The neighboring northern region, Gusu Imperial Star.

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

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

"The ancient demon king clan of the Eastern Region has actually joined forces!"

"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, so how can we possibly have the resources to reinforce the Eastern Region? These damned demons have sided with the Ancient Demons, thinking that by helping the Ancient Demons obtain the Northern Region, they will have the opportunity to be granted territory. 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."

"Send a message to the Su and Lin families, and summon them to discuss this together."

As the news spread, the top families 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 Ancestral Dragon Court echoed across this hillside where peach blossoms bloomed, telling of the lament of the Eastern Region.

"Zhenyuan".

Su Jiuzhe called out softly.

A moment later, a figure sped out from the Minghuang Hall, swiftly climbing the mountain like a blur, and arrived behind the Su family ancestor, bowing in reverence.
"Ancestor."

"You all continue to stay in the Northern Region, as for the Eastern Region, I will personally make a trip there."

Su Jiuzhe raised the gourd, wanting to take a sip, but found that he had already finished it. He could only shake the gourd a couple of times and throw 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 Su family, 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 family or the Jiang family. Those two old guys should be waking up by now."

Su Jiuzhe said calmly.

Su Zhenyuan was stunned, 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 go personally, wouldn't that be too much..."

"Too what?"

Su Jiuzhe's eyes flickered, glancing at him.

When he saw Su Zhenyuan's complicated expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, his eyes suddenly turned fierce: "What is reinforcement? Reinforcement means pouring out all the remaining strength when you still have it!"

"You think the reinforcements to the Eastern Region are just for show? If the Eastern Region falls, the Ancient Demons 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 imperial aura and stood there speechless for a moment.

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

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 fellow, connected by blood, was thinking. He sighed softly:

"With those two old guys, Jiang and Lin, in charge of the Northern Region, it's safe for now. These ten ancient demon clans are definitely 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 families will see the benefits and will inevitably join forces temporarily to attack other major regions as well."

"My body, which has long since rotted away, is better off fighting its way out of the Northern Region than rotting here!"

His gaze grew serious, and he said earnestly, "Not only will I 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 was stunned, staring at him blankly and in shock, unable to comprehend the ancestor's thoughts.

Su Jiuzhe had already stood up, his tall, snow-white figure resembling that of a peerless sword emperor, exuding an aura of dominance over heaven and earth.

“There are countless people like you who waver and hesitate, 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 family can send the heavy sword to our aid, and I, Su Jiuzhe, will become the sword that unites the four regions!”

Hearing his words, Su Zhenyuan was completely shocked.

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

"Ancestor..."

Su Zhenyuan trembled slightly, feeling an overwhelming mix 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!

"Zhenyuan, guard the Northern Region well!"

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 family bloodline respectfully sends off their ancestor to fight in the Eastern Region!!"

His words, filled with sorrow, heroism, and grandeur, shook the peach blossoms all over the mountain, and spread beyond this ancestral land, throughout the entire Su family mansion, and even throughout the entire Gusu Imperial Star!

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

Therefore, Su Zhenyuan did not hold back.

His words resonated throughout the entire star, and countless families still reeling from the news of the attack on the Eastern Region heard Su Zhenyuan's words.

They were all too familiar with this current head of the Su family, and they were all shocked.

"what?!"

"The Su family's ancestor personally reinforced the Eastern Region?!"

"The Su family's ancestor personally took action?!"

The Jiang family, the Lin family, the Lan family, and other major families were all shocked and incredulous.

The other party is the ancestor of the Su family, the pillar 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 is an ancient bronze coffin.

At this moment, the coffin suddenly shook and then sprang open, revealing a withered hand emerging from it.

The hand grasped the edge of the coffin, and when the light from the blue lamp on the rock wall shone on the palm, a magical scene appeared. The palm seemed to be infused with some kind of power, gradually becoming fuller from dryness, and from dark to snow-white. Soon, the palm 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 vitality.

"Really? The Su family's ancestor is personally leading the battle against the Eastern Region? Then who will be in charge of the Northern Region?!"

"The Su family is foolish!" Among the many powerful clans, some were shocked by the Su family's boldness, while others suddenly felt panicked. With the Su family's emperor gone, who would guard the Northern Region?

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

They did not expect that the patriarch would respectfully escort the ancestor to the Eastern Region to meet the enemy.

"The progenitor... how could this be?"

Countless members of the Su family stared blankly at the Su family's ancestral land.

On the peach blossom hillside, Su Jiuzhe's gaze slowly descended, landing on the figure kneeling and prostrating on the ground. A rare tenderness appeared in her eyes as she softly said:
"Alright, the Su family is now in your hands!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a sword cry suddenly rang out, shaking the entire Imperial 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 a celestial being manifesting, his enormous Dharma form appearing, boundless and huge, covering the entire Gusu Imperial Star.

This imperial star, home to numerous powerful clans and quasi-emperors, 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 imperial road appeared in the starry sky. This imperial road exuded an imperial might that made the starry sky tremble, piercing through time and space and leading to a distant place.

Su Jiuzhe embarked on the imperial road without looking back, heading straight ahead.

Seeing this scene, countless people on the Imperial Star were shocked and stunned. They had not expected the imperial might to be so terrifying, nor had they expected that the other party would actually leave.

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

Amidst this wailing, another powerful aura suddenly emerged, instantly enveloping the entire Imperial Star.

On the Imperial Star, a figure of ethereal beauty appeared, her expression cold and indifferent, and she slowly spoke:
"The Su family lord has rushed to the aid of the Eastern Region, while the Lin family 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 Emperor!"

"The Lin family's ancestor has actually appeared in the world!"

"Fortunately, the Lin family ancestor did not leave. This must have been agreed upon with the Su family."

Many powerful clans breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were impressed by the Su family'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 demons.

But now that the Lin family emperor has appeared, the Northern Region has another powerful backer.

"Our Lin family's ancestor has actually awakened!"

The Lin family was overjoyed and cheered excitedly.

"The Su family's ancestor has already gone to reinforce, and the Lin family's Great Emperor is stationed in the Northern Region. In my Qiu family, who is willing to go to reinforce with the Su family's ancestor?"

"The Eastern Region cannot be breached. If the Eastern Region is destroyed, the flames of war will inevitably spread to the Northern Region sooner or later. The Su family ancestor stepped forward because he must have seen this point. The ten ancient demon clans are definitely not united yet. They can only attack one region, so we must defend it!"

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

Many powerful clans were willing to offer assistance. The fierce war 100,000 years ago was a bloody lesson for some long-established clans.

Moreover, the Su family ancestor has set off. If this relief effort is successful, the post-war reckoning will be very beneficial, and the reputation alone will be of great advantage.

In many future crises, these families that have provided assistance will also form alliances.

At this moment, an imperial road 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 level clan ancestors also broke through their seclusion, alarmed by the aura of the Great Emperor sweeping across the starry sky.

This aura was not concealed in the slightest; it was earth-shattering. With the cultivation of an emperor, if he wanted to reveal it, it would be enough for the entire True Realm to glimpse its figure and hear its 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 Slash Emperor Sword!"

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

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

The distant Eastern Regions.

In the Ancestral Dragon Court.

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

……

The Primordial True Realm, the Ultimate Mountain.

The Dragon Token of the Ancestral Dragon Court is now in the hands of Dao Yuan 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 Eastern Region through fate, 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 were countless casualties.

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

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

Dao Yuan 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 fate, 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 there 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 pardon, Mo Fan."

Dao Yuan 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 level experts. Even in the chaotic world of the ancient demon war, they have the power to protect themselves. Although even such calamity-bringing emperors can perish, quasi-Emperor level experts 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 knew that something had happened in the Eastern Region, and their respective families had received requests for help from the old dragon of the Eastern Region's Ancestral Dragon Court.

"Your junior brother recently went to the Eastern Region for training, along with your fifth junior brother."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor slowly said, "Go and escort your junior brother back. As for Qing Ge, 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 what his Dao heart desires, then let him be. There are many things in this world that are more meaningful than life!"

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

"Is it just to pick up the junior brother, or are we going to reinforce the Eastern Region?"

Gu Mofan asked.

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor suddenly sensed something, looked up at the sky, and through the barrier between the Primordial True Realm and the True Realm, in the scene that only he could see, he saw the Imperial Road that traversed the Milky Way.

That body, which should have long since decayed, was now soaring freely in the starry sky.

"You are all still insignificant, just one step away from becoming emperors. You must strive to become emperors as soon as possible. If the Eastern Region becomes critical, your master will personally intervene."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor spoke slowly.
