83: The True Holy Continent was unified, and the Great Saint of the Sea Clan devoured the heavens.

On the outskirts of the Dingyan Mountain Range, the setting sun was as red as blood.

Su Xuanchen looked down at the unconscious, blood-covered Silver-horned girl in his arms, his eyes twitching slightly.

"System, be honest with me."

He questioned frantically in his mind.

"Have you secretly transformed me into some kind of 'Humanoid Walking Peach Blossom Magnet'?"

"It's one thing to pick up Imperial Weapons just by going out, but what's with a Dragon Sister falling from the sky?"

[Ding!]

The System's mechanical voice sounded, dripping with cold mockery.

[Detection complete. The host does not possess any special charm Physique.]

[It is purely because the host's Luck is too strong, plus... your skin is too thick, and you never refuse anyone.]

"..."

Su Xuanchen was left speechless.

"Husband."

Gu Lingshuang stepped forward, her beautiful eyes cold as frost as she stared at the broken horn on the girl's forehead.

"This girl is a hot potato."

"The Sea God Palace, the Silver Dragon Clan. They are the royalty that rules the endless seas, with unfathomable foundations."

"She's injured to this extent and even went as far as burning her Origin to flee to the Human Race's territory; the power chasing her is definitely not simple."

Gu Lingshuang looked up, her tone serious.

"Bringing her back is like inviting the fire of the entire Sea Race's internal strife onto ourselves."

"Scared?"

Su Xuanchen raised an eyebrow and casually took out a Saint Pill, stuffing it into the girl's mouth like a jellybean.

"Scared?"

Gu Lingshuang sneered, Icy Sword Qi flickering from her hand.

"This Empress just finds it troublesome."

"I'm good at killing, but as for looking after children... especially a troublemaker like this, I'm not skilled."

"Then you don't have to look after her."

Su Xuanchen held the girl tighter, feeling her delicate body instinctively trembling from pain.

"Since she fell into my arms, it is our fated connection."

"As for trouble..."

He looked at the churning toxic miasma in the distance, his lips curling into a haughty smile.

"In this world, I, Su Xuanchen, am the biggest trouble."

"Let's go! Home!"

...Wanbao City, the Su Family.

Inside the Purple Heaven Palace, there were many beautiful women, and a fragrant breeze wafted through the air.

Yan Ruyu stood in the center of the hall. Looking at the row of women before her, each with a different temperament yet all peerless beauties, even with her mental preparation, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle.

Grand Beginning Sword Physique, Innate Beguiling Bones, Reincarnated Empress... This Su Family harem was practically a concentration camp for goddesses!

"This must be Sister Yan, right?"

As the self-proclaimed "Big Sister," Lin Miao immediately came forward, taking Yan Ruyu's hand with an incredibly warm smile.

"Oh my, you're so pretty; your skin is so tender it looks like water could be squeezed out of it."

"Once you enter this door, we'll be family. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Yan Ruyu was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor and instinctively looked at Su Xuanchen.

Su Xuanchen was busy settling the unconscious dragon girl onto a jade couch and didn't even look back.

"Don't look at me. From now on, listen to your sisters regarding household matters."

He turned around, his expression becoming serious.

"Where is Jingyuan?"

"Old Ancestor! Your grandson is here!"

Outside the hall, Su Jingyuan, dressed in military attire, strode in and knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with fervor.

Su Xuanchen waved his sleeve.

*Weng!*

Two terrifying auras descended out of thin air.

They were the two Great Sages previously under Yan Ruyu's command!

"These two are now under your command."

Su Xuanchen's tone was flat; giving away two Great Sages was as casual as giving away two heads of cabbage.

"Additionally, the other experts brought by the Yan Family will also be temporarily under your command."

"I have only one requirement."

Su Xuanchen walked up to Su Jingyuan and patted his shoulder.

"One month."

"I want there to be only one voice in this True Saint Continent."

"And that is the voice of my Su Family!"

Su Jingyuan's whole body shook as he abruptly looked up, ambition burning fiercely in his eyes.

Unify the True Saint Continent!

This was the dream of several generations of the Su Family. Was it finally going to be realized in his hands?

"Your grandson... accepts the command!"

Su Jingyuan kowtowed heavily, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground echoing through the hall.

"If a god stands in my way, I shall kill the god; if a Buddha stands in my way, I shall kill the Buddha!"

"If I fail this mission, your grandson will bring his head to see you!"

...On this day, the heavens of the True Saint Continent changed.

The Su Family's iron cavalry poured out of Wanbao City like a black torrent.

The first battle: Lingxiao Sword Sect.

This was an old-established hegemon of the True Saint Continent with deep foundations, presided over by an Old Ancestor who was a Half-step Saint King.

At the foot of Lingxiao Peak.

Su Jie, dressed in black and carrying a long saber on his back, stood alone before the Sect gate.

After Su Xuanchen's guidance and the piling of countless resources, he was now a Half-step Saint King!

"The Su Family is conducting business. Those who surrender shall not be killed."

Su Jie's voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed above the Lingxiao Sword Sect, every word like thunder.

Within the Lingxiao Sword Sect, several streaks of sword light soared into the sky.

"Form the array! Slay the demon!"

Thousands of Sword Qi converged, transforming into a thousand-foot-long sword dragon that carried an aura of destruction as it lunged toward Su Jie.

Su Jie remained expressionless.

He simply drew his long saber.

"The saber's name is Sin Breaker."

"Slash!"

He swung the saber.

Only this black Saber Qi remained between heaven and earth.

Simple, direct, and overbearing.

*Kacha!*

That overwhelmingly powerful sword dragon was as fragile as paper before this strike.

The Saber Qi's momentum didn't slow as it swept across.

*Rumble—!*

The main Peak of Lingxiao, which had stood for thousands of years, was forcibly leveled by half with this single strike!

The Sect-protecting array shattered.

That Saint Old Ancestor didn't even have time to scream before being ground into a blood mist by the Saber Qi.

One strike, one Sect destroyed!

As the news spread, the entire True Saint Continent was shaken.

Countless forces trembled in fear.

Some packed their belongings and fled overnight, while others knelt before the Su Family's camp to offer their surrender.

Those who follow me shall prosper; those who oppose me shall perish.

The Su Family's banner was planted on every inch of land in the True Saint Continent... However.

Just as the Su Family's army was sweeping across the True Saint Continent.

In the far north of the True Saint Continent, the ice plains.

*Kacha... kacha...*

A hair-raising chewing sound echoed in the cold wind.

Four figures like demon gods stood amidst the swirling snow.

Behind them was a once-prosperous human city.

It was now a dead zone.

There were no corpses.

Because every living being—whether Cultivator, Mortal, or even livestock—had been eaten clean.

Even the topsoil had been scraped away by three feet.

*Burp—*

The leader, a ten-foot-tall man covered in black scales, let out a loud burp.

Half a human leg still hung from his mouth, and a cruel, greedy green light flickered in his eyes.

"The flesh and blood of the Human Race is truly delicious."

"Much better than those stinking fish and shrimp in the sea."

He was a Great Sage Peak expert under the Eastern Dragon Palace, Black Shark Great Sage.

Beside him, the other three Great Sages also looked unsatisfied.

"Thirty billion lives... still not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

An old man carrying a turtle shell laughed sinisterly.

"His Highness said that the wench is heavily injured and couldn't have run far."

"She must be hiding in some corner of this continent."

"Can't find her?"

Black Shark Great Sage grinned savagely, crushing the bone in his mouth and swallowing it.

"Then we'll... eat every single living being on this continent!"

"I don't believe she can still hide once all the people are dead!"

*Boom!*

Four terrifying Great Sage Peak auras erupted, turning into four black storms that pierced through the heavens and earth, sweeping toward the heart of the True Saint Continent.

Wherever they passed, lives were devastated.

How was this a pursuit?

This was clearly a gluttonous feast targeting the Human Race!

...Taishi Sect, Main Peak.

*Dang! Dang! Dang!*

Rapid alarm bells rang through the clouds; it was the highest alert for when the Sect faced total destruction.

Inside the hall.

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

The Sect Master and Elders of the Taishi Sect were all pale as they watched the water mirror in the center of the hall.

In the water mirror was the tragic scene of the four Sea Race Great Sages in the north devouring living beings.

"Great Sage Peak..."

"Four of them!"

The Taishi Sect Master's voice trembled as he closed his eyes in despair.

"It's over."

"The True Saint Continent... is finished."

An expert of this level, even just one, would be enough to sweep through the entire True Saint Continent.

Now that four have arrived together, who can stop them?

"Taixu."

An old voice sounded.

From the depths of the hall, a White-Bearded Old Man with his beard reaching his chest walked out.

His aura was declining, a sign that his Lifespan was nearing its end, yet his pride was as upright as an ancient pine.

The Taishi Sect's sole foundation, the Half-step Great Sage Old Ancestor.

"Old Ancestor!"

Taixu Daoist hurried forward to support him.

"Take the Core Disciples and retreat."

The White-Bearded Old Man looked at the images in the water mirror, a look of determination appearing in his eyes.

"Go to the Central Continent, or go overseas."

"As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood."

"What about you?"

A foreboding feeling rose in Taixu Daoist's heart.

"Me?"

The White-Bearded Old Man smiled, his gaze turning toward Wanbao City.

"My granddaughter-in-law is now a member of the Su Family."

"That Su Xuanchen is a bit of a rascal, but he treats my granddaughter-in-law well enough."

"Now that the Sea Race calamity has arrived, those four Great Sages are coming for the entire True Saint Continent, and the Su Family will be the first to bear the brunt."

He took a breath, his cloudy old eyes bursting with a final light.

"That boy Su Xuanchen has some tricks, but he is young after all."

"Against four Great Sage Peaks, he won't be able to hold them off."

"These old bones of mine have lived long enough."

"Today, I shall go and fight for a glimmer of hope for them!"

"Old Ancestor! You mustn't!"

Taixu Daoist fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

"Those are four Great Sage Peaks! If you go... you're just sending yourself to your death!"

"So what if I'm going to my death?"

The White-Bearded Old Man waved his sleeve, and a gentle force lifted Taixu Daoist and sent him out of the hall.

"We Human Race Cultivators, why fear a battle!"

"Remember, take the Disciples and live on!"

As his voice fell.

A brilliant white rainbow soared into the sky from the Taishi Sect's main Peak, charging resolutely toward the four terrifying black storms in the north.

The wind sighs, the Yi River is cold.

The old man knew he would die, yet he went with a clear conscience.

He was going to save Su Xuanchen, whom he regarded as a "weakling."

Little did he know.

That in Wanbao City.

A true Great Sage Hegemon was currently scratching his head in frustration, trying to coax a child to sleep.
