The Great Ruler

Swoosh!

A figure who was filled with an evil aura dashed out of the deserted forest in a sorry state. He looked so flustered, it was as though he was being chased after by the God of Death himself!

Dong!

Just as he was about to get out of the deserted forest, a large spiritual energy fist came down from the heavens like a mountain and hit him hard! The ground collapsed at this instant and cracks started to spread out quickly. After the large spiritual energy fist dissipated, a pile of flesh that had been mashed up appeared in a large hole, without showing any signs of life.

At that moment, Mu Chen appeared in the sky above the large hole and glanced at it before looking away. Two other figures then darted over and appeared beside him. They were Qing Shuang and Qing Ling.

“The numbers of the Extraterritorial Race are increasing.” Qing Shuang raised her brows.

In less than a day, they had met many top powers from the Extraterritorial Race. Fortunately, none of them was as powerful as the Balrog Commander, so all of the Extraterritorial Race had died at their hands.

“We should be reaching the core central region soon.” Mu Chen lifted up his head to look in the distance.

He had sensed a mystical fluctuation looming in that particular direction. Apparently, that would be their destination.

When Qing Shuang and Qing Ling also heard it, their faces turned grave. They could sense that the place that they were heading would be filled with many fights and countless deaths.

“Let’s get going and increase our speed.” Mu Chen waved his hand and darted straight towards that direction.

He was fearless of the fierce fights that were about to take place. But, what he was worried about was that the others would reach that place before him. When Qing Shuang and Qing Ling saw Mu Chen’s impatient look, they shook their heads and quickly caught up with him.

The rest of their journey went smoothly, and they did not meet any more top powers from the Extraterritorial Race. They did meet some other teams, and most of them were in sorry states. Apparently, these teams had met the Extraterritorial Race on their ways and had gotten into fights with them.

Mu Chen ignored these teams and carried on with his journey. After moving at full speed for four hours, he finally slowed down and looked gravely at his surroundings.

Qing Shuang and Qing Ling followed his gaze. They saw that, at the extreme end of their vision, a huge black altar was on the deserted ground. This altar was the source of the horrifying fluctuations.

“Some people are fighting over there.” Mu Chen was looking at the altar and his facial expression turned grave.

Although they were some distance away from the black altar, he could still sense some powerful fluctuations surging around it. The space was quaking due to the fluctuations.

“It looks like some teams and the top powers from the Extraterritorial Race have arrived before us.” Mu Chen furrowed his brows, then turned into a shadow and shot out.

A few minutes later, he appeared near the black altar. As he was now nearer to the altar, he realized that the altar was larger than he had first thought.

Four ancient stone pillars were at the top of the altar, and flames were burning on the stone pillars, like spiritual energy fluid. As they burned, they looked truly terrifying.

One of the stone pillars was located at the center of the altar, while the other three surrounded it. A grey stone coffin lay in front of the central stone pillar and was surrounded by flames. It seemed that the grey stone coffin was trapped by the stone pillars and the flames!

Mu Chen had a feeling that the stone coffin was like a black hole that would devour everything that possessed an aura. It was clearly extremely evil, and anyone who went near it would most certainly be devoured by it!

“Is the spirit of a Heaven Demon Emperor kept in that stone coffin?” Mu Chen stared at the stone coffin warily.

“Xuan Luo and Mo Xin are here!” Qing Ling, who was beside Mu Chen, shouted.

She pointed to the other direction of the altar, where powerful spiritual energy fluctuations were bursting out like a windstorm. The surrounding area of the altar had become a chaotic battlefield, where the top powers of the teams were gathered towards the altar from all directions, fighting one another.

Xuan Luo and Mo Xin looked at everyone in the battlefield. The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations that exuded from them were enough to suppress the rest of the top powers from The Great Thousand World! Even so, there were still other powerful opponents who were able to take them on.

Mu Chen and his team were familiar with the strong opponent who took Mo Xin on. He was none other than the Balrog Commander, who they had exchanged blows with earlier.

As for Xuan Luo, his opponent was a skinny person, who looked really weird. His arms were not like ordinary people’s, but were two long and black, sharp swords!

Cold light glittered on the blades of the swords, and wherever the swords slashed across, the space would be cut apart. Apparently, the edges of the blades were razor-sharp!

“He belongs to the Demon Blade Clan, which was one of the 32 big clans in the Extraterritorial Race!” Qing Shuang said softly. As a member of the Budur Ancient Clan, she naturally knew a lot about the Extraterritorial Race.

“The 32 big clans?” Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Previously, he had met Shi Tian You, the Prince from the Corpse Devil Clan, which was a clan that also seemed to be from one of the 32 clans.

“The strength of the top powers from the Demon Blade Clan is amazing.” Mu Chen looked grave as he watched the fierce fight between Xuan Luo and his opponent from the Demon Blade Clan.

So far, the top power from the Demon Blade Clan was going strong, and his strength was comparable to that of the Balrog Commander. The strength of the two of them was comparable to those who were at the peak of Complete Earthly Sovereign!

“Let’s get into action!” Qing Shuang said.

The current situation was chaotic. Their task was to protect the altar from the Extraterritorial Race, so that they would not have the chance to destroy it.

Mu Chen nodded and immediately stepped onto the chaotic battlefield. The black Mu Chen and the white Mu Chen appeared beside him at this instant as well.

The three of them were like ferocious tigers that had come down from the mountains. They went straight to the top powers of the Extraterritorial Race and killed them. No one could hold them back!

The two ladies, Qing Shuang and Qing Ling, joined forces and attacked the few top powers of the Extraterritorial Race who had escaped Mu Chen. When Mu Chen and his team entered the battlefield, they created a great commotion. They were formidable, and they caught the attentions of the top powers from The Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race immediately.

“Ha, this guy finally showed up!” Mo Xin snorted as he stole a glance at Mu Chen.

“It is that guy!” The Balrog Commander’s expression changed when he saw Mu Chen. He instantly became wary.

“Do you still dare to get distracted when you are dealing with me?” As the Balrog Commander was distracted by Mu Chen, he hear cold laughter in front of him.

At that moment, Mo Xin stretched out his hands, which were filled with cold, black air. The cold air was so overbearing, it instantly froze the space around it.

Boom!

The wind blast of the palm that carried the cold black air swirled out and hit the Balrog Commander’s chest. The Balrog Commander was sent flying backwards by the blow, and black ice spread out crazily, covering him up completely.

Bang!

However, the black ice covered him only for a short while. Soon, black flames burst out from his body and melted the ice.

At the same time, the Balrog Commander’s ferocious cry resounded throughout the area, “Balrog Golem!”

The black flames gathered toward the Balrog Commander and speedily turned into a huge demonic figure behind him. From afar, the demonic figure looked like a destructive Fire Demon, and it exuded an astounding oppression.

Mo Xin was shocked when he felt the oppression. Without a second thought, he formed a seal with his hands and shouted, “The Great Mutable Celestial Body!”

The cold black air whizzed out crazily, and in the next instant, a large figure appeared behind Mo Xin. The figure exuded a horrifying cold air that seemed to be able to freeze anything in the world. It was chilly, and once it entered a person’s body, even the spiritual energy of the person would be frozen in no time!

“Is this the Great Mutable Celestial Body that is ranked number 25 on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies?” When Mu Chen sensed the fluctuations from afar, he was taken by surprise.

Mo Xin had indeed lived up to his name, the Little Lord of the Budur Ancient Clan, as this level of Sovereign Celestial Body was quite unusual! While the fight between Mo Xin and the Balrog Commander was getting more and more fierce, in the other direction, a similarly horrifying fluctuation was raging out.

Buzz! Buzz!

A vast demonic aura surged behind the top power from the Demon Blade Clan, who Xuan Luo was fighting at that moment. The demonic aura whizzed down and turned into a gigantic black blade, then hung quietly behind him.

When the Demonic Sword appeared, it vigorously devoured all of the killing aura within the entire battlefield, and within split seconds, its black blade turned red!

“You should consider it an honor to be killed by our clan’s Demonic Sword.” The top power from the Demon Blade Clan said in a hoarse voice, while he looked sharply at Xuan Luo.

“Hohoho, is that so?” In the face of the top power from the Demon Blade Clan, who exuded such an imposing aura, Xuan Luo simply smiled.

A bright light then burst out from his body like a glaring sun. It then melted behind Xuan Luo, and an enormous figure gradually appeared behind him.

The enormous figure was dazzling, and it was holding a crystal pagoda that towered at about 1,000 feet! The crystal pagoda had a sacred light about it as well.

When Mu Chen saw this enormous figure from afar, he squinted his eyes and muttered, “Is this the Great Pagoda Celestial Body that is ranked number 27?”

He had heard that the Great Pagoda Celestial Body came from the Endless Light Body, which was one of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies. So…

The Endless Light Body was kept within the Budur Ancient Clan!

Apparently, this Xuan Luo is an ambitious person!
