The Great Ruler

When Mu Chen heard the ferocious roaring sound coming from behind him, he held Qing Shuang’s waist and turned around to look at the Commander of the Balrog Clan, who was covered with black flames. The Commander of the Balrog Clan was looking back at him fiercely, like a brutal wild beast.

Although Mu Chen saw the raging look on the commander’s face, he remained expressionless. He glanced into the distance and saw Qing Ling, who had escaped earlier, now heading back due to a change of events.

“Mu Chen?” Qing Ling was taken aback when she saw Mu Chen.

Then, when she saw him carrying Qing Shuang, who had fainted, she had mixed feelings. Apparently, she had not expected Mu Chen to appear at the crucial moment to save them.

Mu Chen gently patted Qing Shuang’s body and covered her up with his spiritual energy. He then carried her and left her at Qing Ling’s side and said, “Take care of her.”

Qing Ling quickly bit her lips and said softly to Mu Chen, “Thank you!”

Before this, she had looked down on Mu Chen, as he was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. At times, she had felt that Mu Chen was too arrogant and full of himself, especially when he had refused their help. However, she was now sorry and felt ashamed of herself for having such thoughts about him.

Although Mu Chen possessed the bloodline of the Budur Ancient Clan, he did not receive any cultivation resources from them. That made what he had achieved alone extraordinary, as it was comparable to the Little Lords like Mo Xin and Xuan Luo. IN fact, from certain aspects, Mu Chen was even more outstanding than Xuan Luo and Mo Xin.

“You must be careful, as he is very powerful.” Qing Ling warned Mu Chen as she moved away. She knew that the Commander of the Balrog Clan was mighty in strength and even Qing Shuang could barely contend with him.

Mu Chen nodded, while continuing to fix his gaze on the Commander of the Balrog Clan. He could clearly ense a dangerous aura exuding from him.

Earlier, Mu Chen was able to put the Commander of the Balrog Clan in such a sorry state because he was taken off guard. However, now that he was prepared for Mu Chen’s attack, Mu Chen would not be able to achieve the same result.

At that moment, the black Mu Chen and the white Mu Chen dashed toward Mu Chen and hung on his sides. The three of them then looked cautiously at the Commander of the Balrog Clan. When the Commander of the Balrog Clan saw the three Mu Chens looking at him, the raging look in his eyes died down and he began to look grim and sharp.

He was more observant and sharper than the other two top powers that Mu Chen had killed earlier. He realized that, although Mu Chen was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, his actual combat force had far surpassed his level. Just judging from their exchange of blows earlier alone, the Commander of the Balrog Clan had already noticed this fact.

“Young chap, hand the two ladies over to me, then I will let you go!” the Commander of the Balrog Clan said in an eerie voice, light glittering in his eyes.

However, Mu Chen simply smiled at his request. Shortly after this, Mu Chen’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and he said coldly, “Get out of my sight!”

“You are digging your own grave!” The Commander of the Balrog Clan was furious. Although he knew that Mu Chen was not an easy target to deal with, he knew that he had to punish Mu Chen for speaking to him so rudely!

“You had an edge over me earlier because I was too careless. But, since you can’t wait to meet your Maker, I shall grant you your wish now!” the Balrog Commander said, a vicious smile on his face.

He then stamped his foot and the whole area shook. Black flames swirled out from his body and the temperature in the area shot up, becoming very hot. Even the air started to be engulfed in flames.

As an overbearing oppression burst out of the Balrog Commander’s body, even though Qing Ling had moved away, she could still feel it palpably. Her face changed, as she was surprised to see that the Balrog Commander had reached the peak of the Complete Earthly Sovereign level! In the face of such a strong opponent, she believed that even powerful people like Xuan Luo and Mo Xin would find him tough to deal with.

“Balrog Hand!” The Balrog Commander looked savagely at Mu Chen, then suddenly threw out a blow.

Black flames gathered toward him, then quickly turned into a large Flaming Demonic Palm that covered up the sky. The Demonic Palm then targeted Mu Chen and pounded down on him. Before the wind blast of the palm came down, the ground had already collapsed and the forest was on fire.

As the Demonic Palm whizzed down, Mu Chen’s gaze froze. He took a deep breath and formed a seal with one hand as three rays of majestic spiritual energy light rainbow swirled out from the bodies of the three Mu Chens.

Roar!

When the three rays of spiritual energy light rainbow gathered together, they expanded. This made them appear like an Optimus Prime that could split the heavens and earth apart! They then careened into the Demonic Palm.

Dong!

The entire area shook as the black flames and the spiritual energy light rainbows burst out.

Swoosh!

When the two powerful attacks made contact, the Balrog Commander suddenly appeared before Mu Chen. As a crystal ball that was engulfed in black flames appeared in the Balrog Commander’s palm, multiple flames shot out from it.

“Entrap Spirit Demonic Net!” When the rays interweaved with one another, they formed a huge fire net that trapped the three Mu Chens within it.

“Ha! Even if the Complete Earthly Sovereigns in your Great Thousand World fall into my Demonic Net, they will definitely lose their lives!” the Balrog Commander shouted coldly. He laughed out loud when he saw that he had successfully trapped the three Mu Chens in the Demonic Net.

Boom!

However, the moment he finished laughing, a bright spiritual energy light burst out from the Demonic Net. A humongous purple shadow then immediately emerged from the Demonic Net. The purple ray of light carried with it the aura of immortality as it attacked the flaming Demonic Net and destroyed it.

“The Immortal God Rune is ever-changing. The Immortal Divine Palm!” A voice came out of nowhere as soon as the Demonic Net burst into pieces.

This caused the Balrog Commander’s pupils to suddenly shrunk. A humongous purple fist, which looked like the fist of a Divine God, suddenly appeared in the sky. It carried with it a horrifying power, and as it punched toward the Balrog Commander, it smashed the entire space apart!

“Balrog Shield!” The Balrog Commander hastily grabbed the black flaming demonic crystal ball and flames swirled out from it. The flames then turned into a large black fire shield that was carved with ferocious looking skeleton runes.

Boom!

The humongous purple fist collided with the Demonic Shield, and as the two horrifying powers hit against each other, the immortal light that lingered on the humongous fist seemed to have suppressed the demonic flames.

Bang!

The Demonic Shield persisted only for a while before it exploded. The Balrog Commander’s body shot out like a bullet and hit a mountain, causing the entire mountain to crack.

Very quickly, large rocks shot out from the mountain and the Balrog Commander flew up to the sky. He stood in the sky and looked grimly into the distance, where a humongous purple figure stood in the horizon, the three Mu Chens standing on its shoulder. All of them were looking at him with cold glares.

“Is this the Sovereign Celestial Body in The Great Thousand World?” A cold light glittered in the Balrog Commander’s eyes and he looked ruthless.

“Hmmm… Today, I shall let you have a taste of we means we have in our Balrog Clan!” The Balrog Commander put his hands together and black flames raged crazily in his eyes.

Buzz! Buzz!

The sky behind him suddenly shook violently as the black flames gathered together frantically. A large black golem then appeared behind him. Black flames were burning on the golem, and it looked savage and exuded an immense killing intent. A horrifying oppression was also being emitted from the golem.

When Mu Chen, who was watching from afar, saw what had just taken place, he was taken by surprise. Apparently, it had never crossed his mind that the Balrog Commander would be so difficult to deal with.

The means that the Balrog Commander had just displayed were simply astounding. Judging from the situation, even if an ordinary Complete Earthly Sovereign were to take the Balrog Commander on, he would be no match for him.

Hoof.

Mu Chen took a deep breath and had a serious look on his face. The Balrog Commander was indeed powerful. It appeared that, if Mu Chen wanted to defeat him, this would indeed be an earth-shattering fight!

Mu Chen formed a seal with one hand and the Immortal Golden Body under him started to emit a purple golden light. As the light swirled around, it started to exude a powerful oppression.

However, just as they were about to start the fight, a powerful cold aura surged out in the area. Mu Chen and the Balrog Commander were taken aback and they looked toward the direction that the aura came from.

Qing Shuang, who had fainted earlier, had awakened. She held her long icy sword in her hand and looked coldly at the Balrog Commander.

“This girl is a troublemaker!” When the Balrog Commander saw Qing Shuang, his face darkened.

Mu Chen was already a hard nut to crack, so he had to focus on dealing with him! If Qing Shuang joined forces with Mu Chen, he knew that he would have a problem dealing with the both of them!

Light glittered in the Balrog Commander’s eyes as he looked coldly at Mu Chen and said, “Count yourself lucky this time around. The next time I see you, I will tear your Sovereign Celestial Body into pieces with my golem!”

After he said that, the golem underneath him suddenly turned into a black windstorm. Flames appeared in the windstorm, then carried the Balrog Commander away at lightning speed.

Mu Chen had not expected that the Balrog Commander would be so decisive. Hence, Mu Chen was stunned by his actions as he looked at the direction where the Balrog Commander had fled.

Immediately Mu Chen frowned. Although they had just exchanged a few blows, they had been enough for Mu Chen to clearly understand the power and uniqueness of these top powers from the Extraterritorial Race.

The Balrog Commander was the most powerful among the Extraterritorial Race who had entered the Ancient Holy Gulf. As such, Mu Chen was curious to find out the number of top powers that the Extraterritorial Race possessed, who were of the same level as the Balrog Commander.

Mu Chen slowly withdrew his gaze and wore a serious expression on his face. It seemed that it would not be an easy task to get ahold of the Eight Budur…
