Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

1789 Proof

At nearly 5 meters wide and over 200 meters long, the corpse of the Azure Dragon was a behemoth of a body that floated above many of the individuals on the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of the corpse of the Azure Dragon caused battles all around to slow down and move away.

Nearly no one had seen an Azure Dragon before and now that they were looking at once, it was a corpse of one.

Wounds filled the corpse's body, scars completely ruining what would've been a majestic beast while alive. Burn marks from the lightning bolts scarred most of the body and some parts of it were even missing.

The Azure color no longer remained on the corpse, and it was now a dull blue color than anything.

The corpse floated high above Alex as he showed it to everyone.

Most were stunned to see the corpse at all, but it was only the Dragon Emperor who had any other thought in this situation at all.

The Dragon Emperor couldn't help but wonder why the Azure Dragon's body was solid at all. He looked for damages on the body and was surprised to not find one.

Sure there were many wounds to the physical boy, but what the Dragon Emperor searched for was in fact a wound that Alex would've had to place on the corpse to steal from the Azure Dragon's Soul Space.

However, there was no such wound at all. The Emperor tried looking hard for it, but he couldn't find it at all. If he had to guess, the Dragon Emperor would say that the Soul Space of the Azure Dragon was intact and without any attempt at gaining its content.

The Dragon Emperor was still stunned by the fact that the Azure Dragon's soul space was still active. After all, if a beast's Soul Space was still alive, it could not be kept anywhere easily.

Be in a storage bag or storage ring, Soul Space could not be fitted at all. If they tried to place something with Soul Space or any other spaces inside the ring or bag, they just wouldn't be accepted.

Which was why it was so surprising when Alex brought out an intact corpse with the Soul Space still working. The Dragon Emperor could only imagine how exactly it was possible.

When he thought that Alex had brought the ship out from somewhere as well, he started to get jealous regarding just what sort of treasures Alex could be wearing for this. He was more than looking forward to gaining anything and everything from Alex when this war ended.

"Here is the Corpse of the Azure Dragon that you doubted was dead at all," Alex said. "Do you still have any doubt?"

Many shook their head obviously, while the others were still drawn to the Azure Dragon's physical body.

"Then ask yourself, how could your Ruler, a being from the Immortal realm, could have died?" Alex asked. "You already have the answer."

Many turned to look at the Emperor when Alex said that. Alex did too.

"Dragon Emperor, this is your chance to fully prove yourself innocent," Alex said. "Swear that you and your wife weren't forcing the Azure Dragon to fight back to defend his own family. Swear that you didn't nearly kill your second son and his wife just because they took away the one sword that could help you get your wishes to carve open the Azure Dragon's body and gain it."

The Dragon Emperor looked at Alex with a seething look on his face. He couldn't wait to kill him at all. Everything else was something he could handle once Alex was dead.

"Swear the oath!" Alex shouted in a chant and everyone that understood him got on it, asking the Dragon Emperor to say it.

The Dragon Emperor looked at everything and sighed when he realized that he couldn't force these people to do anything.

"Fine! Do whatever you want," the Emperor said. "But if you will fight me in war, I will kill you all without mercy."

He turned to leave but as he did, he looked at Long Huan and Long Fangyu.

"As of today, the Crown Prince of the Empire shall be my third son," he said loudly. He didn't even remember the poor boy's name enough to say it in the immediate announcement.

When the Dragon Emperor turned away, Long Huogang quickly flew away as well and started managing the Empire's army.

As soon as Alex took back the Azure Dragon's corpse once again, he felt a sudden increment in a bit of mental suppression as well as a very mild ache.

He could most definitely live with the pain for a day or two, but any more would be uncomfortable and unnecessary.

Next, Alex looked at the gathered cultivators. "You have come as per my request. I thank you all for that," he said. "I hope you will be willing to provide me with all the aid I can require."

"We have seen what we must," one of the older cultivators said. "I cannot tell you about the others, but I will most definitely help you where you need it."

"Thank you," Alex said and walked away.

Graham flew up to Alex and said a few small things regarding the numbers and everything around the battlefield.

"They have double our numbers," Alex said. "But we have triple their fighting will."

Alex looked toward Yan Yating who was making some plans in his mind. "Have you come to any conclusion yet? How is the situation?"

"With the new cultivators joining, we can survive for a few hours at best. We will need more miracles to stay alive longer than this," Yan Yating said.

"Don't worry, there will be miracles," Alex said. "I've sent someone to bring a miracle."

Yan Yating curiously looked at Alex but got no answer in return. In the end, he could only focus forward.

Alex took a deep breath and hoped that Pearl was doing alright.

Then, he rushed back onto the battlefield to fight.
