The Great Ruler

The top powers at the White Jade Square were amazed by the death of Xue Lingzi. The West Heaven War Emperor stood on the Myriad Stone Steps and squinted his eyes to look at Mu Chen, who appeared on the screen.

Although he looked calm, he was apparently taken aback. He had not expected that Mu Chen would kill Xue Lingzi.

“Flame Emperor, you have a good judgement of character. Mu Chen possesses the prerequisites to enter the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns,” the West Heaven War Emperor told the Flame Emperor with a smile.

After all, he was a Heavenly Sovereign. Although he was prideful, he was not unreasonable. If he still disregarded Mu Chen’s ability, he would be seen as being petty.

He had only mentioned that Mu Chen had the prerequisites to enter the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereign, but he did not think that Mu Chen had the ability to vie with Ling Zhanzi and the rest over the one and only position available.

When the Flame Emperor heard this, he simply smiled. He knew what the West Heaven War Emperor meant, but he did not argue with him. He only said, “Let’s see if he can surprise us.”

The West Heaven War Emperor stroked the handrail and nodded. “I am looking forward to seeing if he can truly surprise us.”

Mu Chen stood on the boisterous sea and waved his sleeve. The crystal pagoda dissipated and three streamers shot out, instantly appeared on his hand. The three streamers were the Battle Seals.

Mu Chen smiled as he stroked the three Battle Seals. Xue Lingzi seemed to have a good harvest recently. Mu Chen would be able to exchange these three Battle Seals for the Three Spirits Battle Array from the War Emperor’s Treasury. However, it was not the time to do so at the moment.

Mu Chen kept the three Battle Seals and looked coldly at the Nine Dragons’ Deicide Array that had just been destroyed. The Ghost Master stood within it, looking ghastly and pale. When he saw Mu Chen looking at him, he shivered in fear.

Xue Lingzi’s death had come as a great shock to him. He had not expected Xue Lingzi to die at Mu Chen’s hands, especially given his strength and means. Although Mu Chen was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, he possessed powerful means.

“Hohoho, Brother Mu Chen, you are truly a Dragon-Phoenix’s descendant. I was so silly to have been deceived by Xue Lingzi. I hope that you will not hold it against me, brother!” The Ghost Master tried to fawn over Mu Chen when he recalled how Mu Chen had ruthlessly killed Xue Lingzi.

Given Mu Chen’s combat force, the Ghost Master was no match for him, even though he was a Spiritual Array Ancestral Master. Since this was so, he might as well admit that he was fearful of Mu Chen.

When Mu Chen saw that the Ghost Master had humbled himself, he asked, “Do you think that I will forgive you for attacking me?”

When the Ghost Master heard this, his face twitched. He forced out a smile and asked, “Brother, what must I do to appease you?”

Mu Chen stretched out his hand and said flatly, “Three Battle Seals.”

The Ghost Master turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brother, you are asking for too much!”

He had fought so hard to obtain the four Battle Seals so that he could use them to exchange for an Ancestral Master Diagram Array. If he gave three of them to Mu Chen, his past efforts would go to waste.

Mu Chen remained expressionless. The Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit that was in the sky looked down at the Ghost Master and its majestic fighting spirit, then moved towards him with a strong oppression.

The Ghost Master’s body sank a little into the ground as the oppression came over him. He could see from the glare in Mu Chen’s eyes that he would end up like Xue Lingzi if he did not agree to Mu Chen’s terms.

As he knew that he would be no match for Mu Chen if he were to fight Mu Chen single-handedly, the Ghost Master thought for a long while about what to do next. Then, finally, he waved his sleeve and three Battle Seals shot out toward Mu Chen. Since he was no match for Mu Chen and could not escape, he could only agree to Mu Chen’s request.

Xue Lingzi, why did you drag me into this and put me in such a spot? I will make sure that your clan pays me back for my losses! The Ghost Master was angry in his heart, as he felt sore about the situation that he had been placed in.

He dared not go against Mu Chen, thus he vented his frustrations on the Blood God Clan within his mind. Without Xue Lingzi’s protection, the Blood God Clan had become an easy target of the grand forces.

After Mu Chen received the three Battle Seals from the Ghost Master, he looked pleased and nodded. It did not matter that the people knew about his Demon Subduing Troop, since he had a good harvest.

“Scram!” Mu Chen said harshly, while he waved his hand at the Ghost Master.

He was disgusted at the Ghost Master because he liked to take advantage of the people. If the grand forces weren’t hiding in the dark, Mu Chen would have chased him out of the battlefield right then and there!

The Ghost Master turned around and ran for his life, as he was afraid that Mu Chen would change his mind. After the Ghost Master left, Mu Chen looked around and said, “If anyone is eyeing my Battle Seals, show yourself now.”

When Mu Chen said this, the entire area fell silent. Although the grand forces that were hiding in the dark coveted Mu Chen’s Battle Seals, they dared not act rashly after seeing how ruthless he was in dealing with Xue Lingzi.

It would be better not to trifle with such a ruthless person. When this thought came to their minds, they turned into streamers and shot out in all directions. They had clearly given up the thought of attacking Mu Chen.

Mu Chen snorted when he saw that they had left. If he had been a weaker man, they would have attacked him like savage wolves. Hence, he had to show his ruthlessness in order to frighten them off.

After the grand forces left, Mu Chen withdrew his Spirit-slaughtering Troop and Demon Subduing Troop. He turned into a streamer and left the place hastily.

After he was far away from the stretch of sea, Mu Chen landed on a place where he sensed that no one was around. He grabbed his hand, causing a Battle Seal to appear within it.

As he activated the Battle Seal, the War Emperor’s Treasury appeared before him. He could see many treasures on the screen, and as he waved his hand, four Battle Seals disappeared into thin air. Then, a ray of light shot out from the Battle Seal and hung in the air before Mu Chen.

It was an ancient bronze scroll, and a bright radiance burst out on top of it, while three figures loomed around it. Mu Chen was excited when he looked at the bronze scroll, as this was the Three Spirits Battle Array that he had been longing for! If he could cultivate it, it would enhance the power of his Qi into Trinity!

I have finally got ahold of it! Mu Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the bronze scroll. He then infused his spiritual energy into it, while a large amount of information entered his head.

He shut his eyes and went through the information. After a long while, he opened his eyes in amazement.

The Three Spirits Battle Array is indeed unique! Mu Chen thought about the array. Although it was not a high grade array, it had stringent requirements and was very mysterious.

No wonder the elder who has came up with the Three Spirits Battle Array was able to defeat a Complete Earthly Sovereign with it. Mu Chen kept the bronze scroll.

It was not difficult to cultivate the Three Spirits Battle Array, except for the fact that the requirements were stringent. This meant that the cultivator had to be in sync with the Three Spirits Battle Array.

Luckily, Mu Chen had no problem with this. After all, the Qi into Trinity was formed by the cultivator, so he had to be in sync with it as well. Given some time, Mu Chen would be able to control the Battle Array with expert precision!

Mu Chen was elated when he thought of this. He smiled and muttered, “Since I have obtained the Three Spirits Battle Array, I should go for the one and only position available!”

At this moment, the only thing that would capture Mu Chen’s interest would be the one and only position, the Child of the Continent!
