The Great Ruler

In the golden sky, the golden flame was burning around the furnace and emitting a terrifying aura. On the hearth of the furnace, a golden skeleton loomed within the flames.

Its bones were like violet iron, and it seemed indestructible. It was almost as if it was immortal!

On the surface of the bones, some lines were faintly visible, and the lines seemed as old as the heavens and the earth. Although it was a skeleton, a faint vitality could be felt, coming from its core.

Outside the tripod furnace, the Ancient Light Shadow looked at the golden bones and slightly nodded his head. His look instantly became dignified.

In the next moment, he swept his sleeves, causing the endless violet mist to gather in the golden sky. These mists were all made by immortal sources, so each one was extremely pure.

The violet mist poured into the tripod furnace and covered the golden bones. Then, the mist began to condense before slowly turning into traces of flesh and blood that were growing on the bones.

This growth rate was extremely slow, and it would take a few days to develop just a single strand of flesh. However, the newly grown flesh and blood were obviously extremely unusual, and they gave one a feeling of incomparable mystery.

The Ancient Light Shadow outside the tripod furnace observed this scene and slightly nodded his head. He was waiting for the flesh and blood to regenerate so that Mu Chen could be cultivated into an immortal body.

Of course, this immortal body was not truly immortal, but rather, it was a symbol of a very high-level physical body. In the Great Thousand World, even in the presence of sacred goods, few people could cultivate the flesh to such a level.

The Ancient Light Shadow closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep as he waited for Mu Chen’s flesh and blood to grow. A year quickly passed while he slept.

When the Ancient Light Shadow once again opened his eyes, he saw that the golden bones were already covered with flesh. At that time, a violent wave of power began brewing in Mu Chen’s new body.

The Ancient Light Shadow assessed the situation and knew that the immortal body of Mu Chen had been cultivated to about 90%. Soon, once the skin was fully grown and developed, a new and powerful body would be born!

…

Outside the Aeon Tower.

It had been more than four months since Mu Chen had been alone in the Aeon Tower. During those four months, what had happened in the Maha Continent had attracted the attention of the entire world.

Everyone could feel that, as time went by, the atmosphere outside the Aeon Tower was becoming more and more suffocating, and the pressure under it was enough to make many Heavenly Sovereign have difficulty breathing!

As he was standing on the high platform, Maha Tian’s face was expressionless. Behind him, thirty figures stood still. These thirty figures had extremely powerful spiritual auras, which caused the heaven and earth to shake. This was because they were all Heavenly Sovereigns!

This revealed the power of the Maha Ancient Clan. It was powerful enough to scare off many topl forces. One Heavenly Sovereign could gather his own army, and the Maha Ancient Clan had 30 of them!

Of course, these 30 Heavenly Sovereigns were not the most shocking element of the clan, as in front of them, two white-haired old men, dressed in black and white robes, were holding two black and white crutches and standing up perfectly straight.

Their faces were extremely aged, but their eyes were deepset, and the faint pressure from their bodies caused the earth to tremble slightly. These two old people were Divine Heavenly Sovereigns!

On the high platform opposite them, there were more than 20 figures. The first two were Qing Yanjing and and Budur Xuan. Behind them were Xuan Guang, Mo Tong, Qing Tian, who had arrived first, followed by other Heavenly Sovereigns from the Budur Ancient Clan.

The confrontation between Qing Yanjing and Maha Tian lasted for more than half a month. The Maha Ancient Clan directly came out from their nest and wanted to put pressure on their opponent.

Qing Yanjing did not hesitate to use the authority of the Great Elder, and all of the powers of the ancients were transferred. Clearly, they did not back down against the Maha Ancient Clan! At present, the two sides were having an intense standoff, and both the heavens and the earth were trembling because of it!

Aeon City was already empty because all of the people had withdrawn from the city. This was because the aura was too unbearable, even for many Heavenly Sovereigns.

Therefore, the people who had rushed here quickly retreated. Hence, if one of the team started attacking at this moment, the collateral damage would be devastating.

“It’s been almost half a year…” Maha Tian stared at the Aeon Tower, a sense of doubt in his eyes.

Then, with a low and angry voice, he asked, “What is he doing inside?”

Originally, he thought that Mu Chen just needed a month, but almost half a year had passed, yet there was still no sign of him! Hearing this, the white-haired old man with a black cane faintly sighed.

He then said, “Remain calm, as we have already blocked this world, so Mu Chen can’t escape. Even if he wants to hide for a lifetime, then my Maha Ancient Clan will be with you.”

“Yes, the Maha Ancient Clan will keep the skills of the immortal body, and I will never let an outsider pick the peaches!” The old man, who was holding a white cane, spoke with a cold voice.

Maha Tian nodded, while his eyes glanced at the Budur Ancient Clan in the distance. “It seems that the Budur Ancient Clan has insisted on fighting with Maha Ancient Clan.”

…

“Great elder, should we really stay here to face the Maha Ancient Clan? The strength of our Budur Ancient Clan is really below theirs.” On the side of the Budur Ancient Clan, Xuan Guang glanced at the lineup of the horrible Maha Ancient Clan and could not help but suggest a retreat.

“And… This is also the stronghold of the Maha Ancient Clan…” Mo Tong echoed the same sentiment.

They used to have grudges against Mu Chen, but now, as they were having to actually face Mu Chen and the Maha Ancient Clan, they had started to doubt themselves.

Qing Yanjing looked at them coldly and said, “If you disagree with my choices, you can leave immediately.”

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong were stunned, but they did not dare speak. Although there were scared, they were still members of the Budur Ancient Clan, so even if they wanted to leave, the other people of the two bloodlines would not agree to it.

“You two talk should not talk nonsense! Mu Chen is already the new patriarch of the Budur Ancient Clan. Hence, whatever we do today, we must keep him alive!” Budur Xuan spoked with a cold voice.

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong clicked their tongues. The two of them had been in the ranks of the patriarchs for many years, but they had failed to break through. As such, it was naturally uncomfortable for them to suddenly find that Mu Chen had taken their place!

Although they felt uncomfortable, they were helpless to do anything about it. After all, in terms of strength, Mu Chen was indeed qualified to be a patriarch.

Xuan Guang and Mo Yan looked at each other with bitter smiles. Then, their looks became stern, as they knew that, if the situation was handled badly, it was going to shake the entire Great Thousand World!

This thing is not going to end well… They both thought, while they shook their heads in dismay.

…

Vrooom! Vrooom!

The golden flames were burning and the vast violet mist was constantly gathering in the tripod furnace. Inside the tripod furnace, the violet mist was entangled, as if it was forming a violet light.

At a certain moment, the figure seemed to have moved slightly. His eyes then trembled before they slowly opened.

Suddenly, two violet beams burst out at the very moment that he opened his eyes. The beams shot through the tripod furnace and gradually dissipated after travelling a few hundred thousand feet.

The figure then opened his mouth and swallowed the violet mist into his body. The violet mist slowly dissipated as a naked body appeared and exited the tripod furnace.

The body’s skin was white, and its pores were faintly exuding a violet light. At the same time, an aura of immortality flowed out of it mysteriously.

As Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the body, he felt the immense power that was surging through his own body. Then, he looked up and shouted with a voice that was as loud as thunder, which burst through the heavens and the earth…

Bang!

At that moment, the entire golden starry sky trembled. Upon seeing this scene, the Ancient Light Shadow couldn’t help but smile. After five years of hard work, he had finally cultivated an immortal body!

…

Outside the Aeon Tower, Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing and the others suddenly felt the power, looked up at the Aeon Tower, and then heard a whistling coming from the tower.

“Finally, there’s some movement!” someone exclaimed.

The expressions of the people on both sides of the platform changed immediately. In the next moment, the atmosphere was filled with a fierce intent for battle.

Outside the city, countless strong people looked at the scene and were terrified. The confrontation that had been suppressed for half a year was finally going to break out today!
