The Great Ruler

While Maha You’s laughter echoed within the Aeon Tower, the spectators were exclaiming outside of the Aeon Tower. The various experts were also shocked and excited when they saw that the golden figure that was being controlled by Maha You.

Apparently, this was not what they had expected. No one had thought that Maha You would actually possess such a countermeasure against the invincible and bizarre golden figure.

“Maha You really concealed himself well!”

“But, his means are quite ruthless. He actually waited for Mu Chen, Ye Qing, and Tuo Ba Cang to be injured before he displayed his means!”

“Hehe, the Maha Ancient Clan has been planning this for thousands of years. How could they let someone else take it? It is still within my expectation, even though he used ruthless means to accomplish his goal.”

“If the Primordial Immortal Body is controlled by the Maha Ancient Clan, their reputation will peak again, then rise to the next level in the Great Thousand World!”

Everyone was whispering among themselves, as they were very envious. After all, the Primordial Immortal Body was one of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies. As such, it would give them a competitive edge since it was under the Maha Ancient Clan’s control.

As QingYanjing and Budur Xuan observed the situation, they exchanged gazes with each other. Both of their facial expressions darkened slightly.

The current Maha Ancient Clan was already tyrannical, and they were so powerful that they were basically already leading the rest of the four ancient clans. If Maha You possessed the Primordial Immortal Body, he could use it and breakthrough to the Divine Grade, and when that time comes, the strength of the Maha Ancient Clan will be beyond one’s imagination!

“Haha!” Maha You let out a loud laugh from the tall tower. He could not contain his excitement.

“Congratulations to our Clan Leader!” The elders from the Maha Ancient Clan behind him all congratulated him with gleeful expressions.

They had been safeguarding the Primordial Immortal Body for thousands of years. Now, they could finally ditch their roles as protectors. The smile on Maha You’s face deepened as he felt a sense of relief.

From now on, the Primordial Immortal Body belonged to the Maha Ancient Clan. No one could take it away from them, not even the reborn Immortal Emperor! Now, the Maha Ancient Clan could finally be free from the burden that was weighing their hearts down for so long.

…

Maha You’s laughter persisted for quite some time in the Aeon Tower before it gradually subsided. At the moment, his passionate eyes were glaring at the golden figure that was right in front of him.

The blood-red runes continued blinking on the golden figure’s body. Apparently, an internal strength was resisting them within its body.

“Hmph, it’s not giving up…” Upon seeing this, Maha You let out a cold sneer. He knew that the Divine Rune Amulet alone was not sufficient to subdue the golden figure.

However, he was not anxious about it. This was because once the golden figure was taken out of the Aeon Tower, he doubted that it could put up any resistance.

Hence, Maha You was not concerned. Instead, he swept his slightly cold gaze around the surroundings.

Maha You was specifically looking for any sign of Mu Chen. Earlier, Mu Chen had detonated his Immortal Golden Body.

Even though Mu Chen was seriously injured, he would not die from his wounds. This was the reason Maha You wanted to seek him out. Even if he could not kill Mu Chen, he must at least render him incompetent!

Since the Maha Ancient Clan now had the Primordial Immortal Body, their strength would increase significantly. Hence, the previous threat that they felt from the Budur Ancient Clan was reduced exponentially.

“Previously, you were happy to beat me. I’ll see how you react when you are in my hands!” A cold radiance surged in Maya You’s eyes. Since he had been utterly embarrassed when he had exchanged blows with Mu Chen previously, he was not going to let Mu Chen off easily today!

As Maha You rose in the air, the golden figure followed him like a shadow. At the same time, a vast spiritual energy emanated throughout the land, sweeping across chasms in order to dig out Mu Chen, who was hiding.

Various experts observed Maha You’s actions from outside of the Aeon Tower, and they knew Maha You was trying to settle an old score. As such, they all mourned for Mu Chen silently.

When Qing Yanjing saw this, her facial expression darkened, while a daunting coldness gathered in her eyes, which were glaring at Maha Tian. However, Maha Tian totally disregarded this.

In fact, his expression remained indifferent. In his opinion, Qing Yanjing could do nothing as long as Maha You spared Mu Chen’s life. But, since they had gotten ahold of the Primordial Immortal Body, the Maha Ancient Clan no longer had to be afraid of Budur Ancient Clan.

“I found you… You little sneaky rat!” Maha You had only spent a few minutes in the Aeon Tower before he had successfully located Mu Chen.

His eyes narrowed as he looked towards a faraway chasm with a sneer, while drawing up the corner of his lips into a menacing smile. He then punched out his fist, causing a long ray of light to shine down from the sky.

Mercilessly, the light blasted off on that chasm, and its daunting mightiness caused the chasm to collapse and even form a huge and sinking pit. As sand and dust filled the air, Maha You squinted his eyes as he looked at the pit. He saw a figure, which was surrounded by spiritual light, slowly rising from the hole.

It was Mu Chen, soaked in fresh blood and looking rather pitiful. All of his injuries had been caused by the detonation of his Immortal Golden Body.

“Why is our Master of the Mu Estate in such a dire state?” Maha You asked in a mocking manner as he stared at Mu Chen with a teasing smile.

Mu Chen cast a sideways glance at Maha You before his eyes stopped at the golden figure that was standing behind him.

Then, Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and asked Maha You, “You actually controlled him?”

Maha You replied casually, “The Maha Ancient Clan has been planning for this moment for thousands of years. So… How could we not prepare for this?”

Mu Chen nodded his head gently, while a smile surfaced on his pale face. “It looks like I have underestimated you. In that case, I will need your help.”

Maha You squinted his eyes and asked, “My help?”

He then wondered… Has this fellow gone out of his mind after detonating his Immortal Golden Body?

Mu Chen smiled as he pointed to the golden figure and said, “Give it to me.”

Upon hearing this, Maha You’s eyes grew wide. He stared at Mu Chen with a bizarre look before he slowly asked, “Are you out of your mind?”

The current Mu Chen had not only sustained severe injuries, but he had even lost his Immortal Golden Body. His combat power had also dropped drastically.

In direct contrast, Maha You had retained his full combat power, and he also controlled the golden figure. As the strength between the two of them significantly differed at the moment, no one could understand how Mu Chen dared to ask him for the golden figure!

Has Mu Chen gone crazy? All of the people couldn’t help but wonder.

“You really want it?” Maha You stared at Mu Chen with a hideous-looking smile. He then nodded and said with a creepy look, “I’ll give it to you…”

He stretched out his palm and waved gently…

Shua!

The golden figure suddenly charged out from behind his back. At that moment, a golden palm tried to seize Mu Chen’s throat as it flew through the air.

As Mu Chen watched the golden palm as it pierced through the space, his young and handsome face was surprisingly peaceful. His pitch-black eyes were as deep and calm as a well, showing no signs of turmoil.

However, his expression looked stupefied to the various experts outside of the Aeon Tower. Everyone was watching as the golden palm appeared in front of Mu Chen.

It was just inches away from his throat! However, just before it could touch Mu Chen, a glassy palm suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The glassy palm then grabbed the the golden figure’s wrist, stopping it from advancing any further.

Maha You’s mocking smile froze in that instant. He could not hide the shock in his eyes as he looked at the body that was now beside Mu Chen. No one knew when a body had suddenly appeared and surrounded Mu Chen with a glassy glow!

At the moment, no one could see through the body, as a mysterious glow surrounded it. However, they could clearly feel an indescribable oppression coming from it.

“Rawr!” The golden figure let out a low bellow at this time, while fear showed in its golden pupils as it struggled madly in an attempt to break free from the mysterious glassy body.

Bang!

As the glassy hand gently swung around, the golden figure was thrown back forcefully, as if it had just been hit by something very hard! Eventually, it fell onto the ground with a loud thud, cracking the ground open and forming a bottomless pit.

Sstz!

Sounds of cold breaths being drawn echoed outside the Aeon Tower. All of the onlookers were dumbfounded as they stared at the mysterious glassy body. No one could believe that the invincible golden figure had been thrown off without any resistance, just like that!

“What… What is that thing?”

“That glassy figure is really scary! The golden figure is already so invincible that it seems almost like it is a Divine Grade existence. But…”

“If Mu Chen had such a trump card, why did he detonate his Immortal Golden Body before?”

A loud commotion started to erupt as all of the experts began commenting on the situation at once. Qing Yanjing and Budur Xuan were also looking doubtful at the moment. Apparently, they had no idea why Mu Chen would have such a scary glassy figure with him!

Maha Tian, who was looking arrogant from the tall tower, stiffened, and his facial expression was quite solemn. His eyes were cold and doubtful as he looked at the glassy figure.

“What is that thing?” Maha You wondered aloud as he looked at the huge pit on the ground from the Aeon Tower.

His face twitched nonstop as the current situation made his blood boil. As a result, his anger soon turned into a hysterical killing intent!

“Kill him!” Maha You bellowed as he made several seals with one hand. He then circulated the divine runes that were controlling the golden figure.

“Rawr!” At that moment, a roar was heard, coming from the pit, and the golden figure soared into the sky.

The current golden figure had numerous blood-red runes flowing into its golden pupils, causing both of its eyes to be bloodshot. Under the force of the divine runes, the figure suppressed its fear and glared at the glassy figure that was beside Mu Chen.

Mu Chen looked back at calmly and smiled at the mysterious glassy body. He then said, “Go on… Take all of your Immortality Sources back.”

He then added, “You have slept for thousands of years. Now, it is time to let the world know that the Primordial Immortal Body is back!”
