The Great Ruler

Inside the Ancient Pagoda, Maha You watched in horror and shock as the Immortal Primordial Body shone high up in the sky. At this moment, he finally realized that the body that was emitting the mysterious light shadow was the true Immortal Primordial Body!

He had expended such an immense cost to control the Dark Golden Figure, but it turned out that it was only a fake that had appeared out of nowhere! This knowledge caused Maha You’s face to twitch for a moment, and as he looked up at the Immortal Primordial Body, his eyes were filled with envy.

“How is this possible? How can the Immortal Primordial Body be in the hands of this kid?” Maha You mumbled to himself in utter disbelief. He could not accept the terrible truth that Mu Chen had acquired the Immortal Primordial Body.

“Immortal Primordial Body! I, Maha You, have protected you for thousands of years, so why did you choose an outsider?” he roared at the Immortal Primordial Body.

However, when faced with his roar, the Immortal Primordial Body made no move. As the Immortal Primordial Body was a special existence, it had its own spirituality, but was devoid of an independent mind. Based on its judgment, although Maha You might be stronger than Mu Chen, he could never become its rightful owner.

Mu Chen looked calmly at Maha You, who was in hysterics at the moment. Then, he pointed his finger at him and said in a voice that was as cold as ice, “Take away his Immortal Source also.”

Maha You had not only conspired against him and forced him to self-destruct his Golden Body, but after that, he had once again tried to attack him as he was in a weakened state! Mu Chen remembered all of these affronts clearly. Hence, once the tides turned, Mu Chen naturally did not have any sound reasons to let Maha You off.

“How dare you?” The moment he heard Mu Chen’s words, Maha You’s expression changed immediately and he shouted out loud.

Swish!

However, at the very moment that Mu Chen’s voice fell, the Immortal Primordial Body stepped forward, the space fluctuated, and its figure appeared before Maha You.

Bang!

Maha You’s face turned ghastly pale, while the spiritual power inside his body surged uncontrollably. In just a moment’s time, he was knocked back thousands of feet. However, the Immortal Primordial Body did not pursue him any further, but only raised its palm and grabbed Maha You gently.

The moment he was grabbed, the world seemed as if it had solidified, and Maha You, who had just been travelling backward at an absurd speed, stopped abruptly in his trajectory, as though he was a mosquito trapped in a piece of amber. As such, he was trapped inside the void, unable to move a single muscle, while only his face, which was filled with terror, could be seen.

The Immortal Primordial Body stretched out its finger, and soon after, a golden violet ray converged behind him. The Immortal Golden Body then condensed, ignoring Maha You’s control. Only at this moment did true horror emerge in Maha You’s eyes.

Bam!

At the moment that the Immortal Primordial Body grasped its palm, cracks started to slowly emerge on the Immortal Golden Body that was behind Maha You. Then, it finally exploded. The Immortal Primordial Body then inhaled, absorbing the Immortal Source that had become fragments of golden light.

Pssssshhh!

Maha You regained control over his body immediately, while his mouth burst out a stream of blood and the spiritual power around him was instantly subsided. Evidently, he had been greatly injured.

“Mu Chen! How dare you destroy my Immortal Golden Body?” As Maha You roared, his eyes were filled with an intense anger and madness.

“Haha! You forced me to self-destruct my Immortal Golden Body, and now that I have destroyed your Immortal Golden Body, we are finally even,” Mu Chen said with a laugh.

Maha You was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His face had a savage look on it, as though he wanted to swallow Mu Chen whole!

“It seems that you aren’t satisfied yet?” Mu Chen looked at Maha You’s hideous face and squinted his own eyes slightly. Again, he pointed his finger at Maha You, his eyes tinted with murderous intent.

“What? You dare to try and kill me now?” Maha You’s eyes were filled with fear, but his tone was filled with contempt.

After all, as they were in the Maha Ancient Tribe’s domain, if Mu Chen really dared to kill him, he would get into huge trouble. That is why he did not believe that Mu Chen would dare be so bold.

“Kill him.” However, as soon as his spoke, the cold voice of Mu Chen could be heard.

At that moment, the Immortal Primordial Body set its sights on Maha You. Maha You could feel his scalp tingling with fear. He looked at Mu Chen in utter disbelief, as he never really thought that Mu Chen would dare to kill him. But, he could clearly tell that Mu Chen was not joking!

“You’re mad!” Maha You said through clenched teeth, but he dared not move a single muscle. Immediately, he roared, “I quit!”

The moment the Dark Golden Figure was assassinated, he could sense that he could now escape from the Ancient Pagoda successfully. As soon as his words came out, the space around Maha You started twisting, and the Ancient Pagoda immediately purged his body from the space where he stood.

But, before his body disappeared, he roared thunderously, “Mu Chen, don’t get too complacent, as even if you have obtained the Immortal Primordial Body, you still must possess the capability to take it away from the domain of the Maha Ancient Tribe!”

As soon as he yelled this, his body completely disappeared from the pagoda. With a cold stare, Mu Chen chuckled. He then spoke in a cold voice, “You are only fast when it comes to escaping.”

If Maha You had stayed here, Mu Chen really was planning to murder him! After all, the Maha Ancient Tribe would not let him go regardless.

Mu Chen’s eyes glinted, then suddenly, he looked toward the plains, where he saw the figure of Ye Qing. At that moment, Ye Qing said with a wry smile, “This is unexpected! The Immortal Primordial Body actually fell into your hands.”

He sighed, then closed his eyes gently as he added, “It’s ultimately better that it didn’t fall into the hands of that ba*tard Maha You, but to take away the Immortal Primordial Body… I’m afraid that’s not as easy as you think.”

As soon he finished his words, he spoke into the void, saying, “I quit.”

Mu Chen nodded after hearing his words, then said, “Thanks for the reminder. I’ll pay heed to it.”

Ye Qing smiled, and then, without another word, his body was surrounded by the fluctuations in the space and he disappeared. Following Ye Qing’s disappearance, Mu Chen was the only one left in the pagoda.

At the same time that Maha You and Ye Qing appeared outside of the pagoda, the two spiritual energy light mirrors suddenly shattered, thus masking the situation inside the pagoda. Although the spiritual light mirrors shattered into a million pieces, outside the pagoda, no one uttered a single word, as they could clearly feel the depressing tension in the air.

The origin of the depressing tension was obviously Maha Tian, who was standing above the tower, devoid of all expression. As he looked at Maha You, who had appeared awkwardly, his eyes were cold, but he did not speak a word. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes slowly.

The silence in the air was akin to the calm before a storm. Everyone knew that Maha Tian would never ignore the fact that Mu Chen had taken the Immortal Primordial Body from the Maha Ancient Tribe. Even if Mu Chen was the rightful owner of the Immortal Primordial Body, he would never allow it!

From afar, as Qing Yanjing looked at Maha Tian, she could detect the rage behind his calmness. However, her expression still did not change. She only stared at the Ancient Pagoda, while the delicate hands in her sleeves squeezed together tightly.

Her usual gentle demeanor had also been replaced by one of fierceness and determination. If Maha Tian really dared to lay his hands on her son, even if it caused the two major ancient tribes to start a war, she would never take even a half step back!

Beside her, Budur Xuan was frowning. He looked at Qing Yanjing’s determined face and sighed gently in his heart. His thoughts were similar to Qing Yanjing’s.

However, as Qing Yanjing was currently the most powerful elder, who represented the whole Budur Ancient Tribe, if Maha Tian did not show her respect, that was equivalent to his disrespecting the whole Budur Ancient Tribe. Although the Budur Ancient Tribe’s prowess had slightly deteriorated, if the Maha Ancient Tribe was to go too far and offend them, then it would not bode well for them!

Moreover, the capability that Mu Chen unveiled made Budur Xuan exceptionally content. Now, he had already acknowledged Mu Chen as the new chief of the Budur Ancient Tribe. As such, he could not just sit by and watch.

Amid the two major ancient tribes’ depressing silence, the powerful individuals around the Ancient Pagoda felt tingling sensations in their scalps. They knew that, as soon as Mu Chen walked out of the Ancient Pagoda, an intense battle would unfold…

As the atmosphere outside the pagoda reached a crescendo, inside the tower,several light rays were converging before Mu Chen. Then, the lights converged to form an old figure. Impressively, that was the consciousness of the Ancient Pagoda!

“Congratulations, you will be the next owner of the Immortal Primordial Body.” The light shadow looked at Mu Chen as if it was smiling, and it spoke in an old, hoarse voice.

At that moment, waves were fluctuating and surging within Mu Chen’s eyes. Finally, he bowed respectfully to the light, while his shivering body revealed his intense emotions, which could not be suppressed inside his heart. After all, he had worked hard and for so long for this day.

The next words of the Ancient Pagoda immediately piqued Mu Chen’s interest. “The Immortal Emperor has prepared a gift for you…”
