Countless Myriad Domain
Within the core areas of the countless myriad domain, over ten billion human cultivators stood in formations as they faced an enormously long floating imperial edifice. The imperial edifice was millions of feet long and hundreds of thousands of feet wide and was kite-shaped; it was completely made of gold, with six cube-like silver objects revolving around it. The space surrounding the floating imperial structure made a gigantic crack as the golden building hovered in the pitch-black void.
On the ground and floating above the heads of the billions of standing cultivators were another three million human warriors; above them were eight hundred thousand, and above that were ten thousand, then fifty, then twelve, and above all the soldiers was a male with a muscular build and broad shoulders. The eight-foot-tall and dark-skinned cultivator wore luxurious black armor with thick arm braces. Floating beside the warrior were four shining orbs, which seemed to be his cultivated laws.
The burly man hovered in front of the cultivators with relaxed arms and a calm attitude as he spectated the terrifying scene of billions of cultivators, with the lowest rank being a Star Sovereign, all arranged in formations, readied for battle. Raising his head, he also saw countless beasts and flying beings in the sky; these flying beings were none other than the Arkmenians. Over twelve million Arkmenians majestically and domineeringly floated far in the sky above the burly general and the billions of cultivators in formations.
The burly man then flashed as he vanished from the scene.
Inside the imperial hovering building, the burly man appeared within the pitch-black emptiness as he knelt in a random direction, as there was no one there other than the burly man himself. Kneeling with a respectful and revering expression, the man spoke with an adoring tone.
"Three percent of our forces have been mobilized, Imperial Ancestor, all awaiting orders from his Imperial highness."
As expected, the same domineering, heavy and serious voice spoke.
"..., Wipe out all those who stand opposite you, and bring me the kid and his entourage. Don't fail me, grand general."
Hearing this, the kneeling grand general tightly clenched his fist and placed it on his heart as he promisingly spoke.
"There will be no more Jian and Jun Ancient families before the day is over, your imperial godship; that I swear."

Middle Regions of the Central Continent.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was steadily approaching the west. In a forest, beasts and animals passively roamed their habitat as strong beasts devoured the weak ones; birds flew freely in their flying zones as they rested in the nests. Everything seemed peaceful and natural until then:
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Loud and exaggerated sound-barrier-breaking sounds reverberated throughout the scene, causing the beasts and animals in the forest to scatter in panic. Some birds risked flying from their nests when one father bird smashed into the body of one of the cultivators flying towards the Ancient Jian family's Sacred Realm.
"Brother! Are you sure the 'Decree' ordered we head to the Ancient Jian family? If this isn't what you think it is, we will be offending the third most powerful Ancient family in the Immortal Realm; and us returning alive will be nothing but a dream."
Among a group of over two hundred million flying cultivators, a man spoke as he looked towards the flying leader of the group, who he calls 'brother.' The man spoke while flicking off the dead father bird, which smashed on his right shoulder.
The leader of the group, a man, who seemed in his late forties and wearing the most luxurious combat uniform, darted through the sky with a bright smile; he spoke as he replied to his little brother's statement.
"Sure' is not the proper word, Ku Jin, 'know' is. How do you think we got promoted from a low-rank region to an upper-rank region? The answer is this decree. I was able to rise five times in cultivation in less than a month, cleared doubtful thoughts about my law, and fully comprehend it, and I am now beginning to sense a Dao. All these miracle feats are credited to this decree, and after almost a month, I finally received a message from the powerful being responsible for all these wonders. So yes, I know what's going to happen; we are meeting a God!."
The leader finished speaking as he increased his speed even further, he and his two hundred million warriors all looking like flashing rockets as they drifted through the atmosphere, constantly breaking sound barriers.
Not long after, another five hundred-plus million cultivators also drifted past the same forest, causing most of the forest trees to break and scatter about. This time, the darted group flashed at unbelievable speeds. Soon after, another group of over three hundred million flashed by the same forest as this time; the forest was completely eradicated due to the gushing flash-bys of countless groups of powerful cultivators.
This same occurrence happened as countless groups of cultivators from the middle regions all darted toward the Fengian Sage City and for the Ancient Jian family.
Even though all these groups seemingly heeded the order on a decree from someone they didn't even know, one thing they had in common was that they understood that with the benefits they received, the being in question would be no less powerful than a Saint, or Saint King, or even better, a Saint Ancestor. But ultimately, they also get to see the master behind everything.

Fengian Sage City
At the Fengian Sage city, over ten thousand city soldiers aimed their weapons in the sky with terrified expressions as they stood in a defensive stance. Even the city lord was no exception. He was the most terrified, as he had witnessed the shattering of the Jian family's sacred realm, which meant there was an enemy capable of breaking a Saint Ancestor-level dimension barrier. But not long after, the same realm barrier was reformed as it enclosed the Ancient Jian family again.
As if that wasn't terrifying enough, not long after the realm barriers reformed, powerful cultivators from all sides have continuously appeared above the skies of the Fengian Sage City. These arrived cultivators numbered in the billions as their bodies completely blocked the sun, yet, there seemed to be no stopping as their numbers constantly kept increasing to hundreds of millions.
The city lord, worriedly gazing at the continuously increasing numbers of cultivators, clenched his fist and jaws and gathered his resolve as he steadily flew up to the clustered cultivators. Soon after, the city lord was on equal elevation with the leaders of the arrived group, who were floating before the billions of cultivators behind them.
Some leaders floated with folded arms as they watched the city lord. But before the city lord could speak, an elderly man among the leaders interrupted.
"You must be the city lord, correct?"
Hearing the elderly man's question, the city lord twitched a frown as he respectfully replied.
"Yes, but being a sub-family of the Ancient Jian family is my honorary badge."
The city lord spoke as he looked up to see the leaders' reactions. He expected that since he mentioned being a sub-family of the ancient Jian family, the leaders would express signs of worry or fright; after all, the Ancient Jian family is the third most powerful ancient family in the Immortal Realm. But contrary to his expectations, the leaders all had unreactive faces as the elderly man continued.
"Yes, we know. We wouldn't dare appear on the territory of an ancient family without a cause. We received orders to be at this location; as you can see, every leader here is holding the same thing I am holding. These are the decrees from which we received our orders; you can read them if you doubt my words. Here, catch.
The elderly man spoke as he sent the decree to the city lord. Catching the decree, the city lord felt his entire body numb when he tried to open the scroll; it was as if a hundred mountains were resting on his mind, causing him to almost blackout. But then the elderly man voiced.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, you need your entire soul strength to read the words; otherwise, your mind will break."
Holding the decree in his hand, the city lord looked petrified as he gazed at the scroll in fear.
'Just who is it? Who's capable of bringing billions of high-level cultivators like these with a single decree, and why did I feel I would be crushed just now when I tried opening the scroll? He said I must use my full soul power. Why would I need my full soul power to read a mere-
The city lord thought as he simultaneously opened the scroll; of course, he heeded the elderly man's words, but even then, his mind wasn't prepared for what he was about to see.
The instant the city lord opened the scroll, he was standing in a never-ending sea of bloody skulls; above his head was a sentence, but what made the sentence more terrifying was that all the letters were made from his head. Yes, all the formed letters were made with countless heads of the city lord himself. As if that wasn't enough, a skeleton wearing a black cloak and holding a long scythe floated next to the words as it stared at the city lord with its fiery red eyes.
The city lord tremblingly opened his mouth as he mumbled the words in a stutter.
"PREPARE FOR WAR AT THE JIAN FAMILY TERRITORY."
The instant the city lord finished reading the sentence, the skeleton, floating next to the words, instantly flashed and stood before the city lord with the scythe resting on the city lord's neck; the skeleton then screeched loudly.
"SCREECH!"
With a jolt, the city opened his eyes as he saw the leaders looking at his terrified expression with an understanding gaze.
"What was that!? Was that an illusion!?"
"No, that was real. Check your neck."
Listening to the elderly man's words, the city lord steadily rubbed his hand across his neck as he saw his hand covered in blood, but before he could even express his fear, the space behind him tore open as an important figure of the Ancient Jian family appeared from it; this person was the Jian master, current head of the ancient Jian family.
The Jian master appeared from the void as he hovered in the air behind the city lord. He had an overbearing expression as he floated with hands behind him. Surveying the scene, the city lord saw the billions of cultivators floating in the sky and clustered on the ground as he expressed a raised eyebrow.
'What kind of power does he have where he can command the entire middle regions of the Immortal Realm with just a decree? Sigh! Trying to understand that person is equivalent to disrespecting our God Fairy. As even she reveres that person at the absolute level.'
The Jian master internally expressed as he marveled at the sight of over fifty billion cultivators, heeding the call of the mysterious being, who is now the most respectable person in their ancient Jian family's sacred realm. This commanding power is something even the Immortal Gate doesn't possess.
The Jian master regained focus as he stared at the billions of cultivators filling the entire scene; he spoke.
"I am Jian Jun; our God Fairy has sent me to escort you; please follow me."
Seeing and hearing the man introducing himself, the city lord, and the leaders, leading the billions of cultivators, all had baffled faces as they exchanged gazes. The man currently hovering before them is none other than the current patriarch of the ancient Jian family; not only that, but he is also a certified Saint King-level cultivator, yet this man calls himself an escort sent to attend to them.
These wild thoughts raced through the leaders' minds as they shockingly stared at the composed Jian Jun. He didn't even flinch when he called himself an escort. On the contrary, he was even proud of labeling himself as an escort, as one could see an appreciated expression plastered on his face when he mentioned 'God Fairy.
Turning around, Jian jun stretched out his left arm as a sword materialized in his hand; with a casual slash, Jian Jun tore the space open, spreading for millions of miles vertically. Making a hand sign, the torn space then swallowed the entirety of cultivators as they vanished from the scene. That included the Fengian Sage City city lord and soldiers.
