The Great Ruler

Boom! Boom!

The vast spiritual energy was like a lightning dragon as it roared throughout the area. The entire Northern Wilderness Hill started to quake under its overbearing fluctuation.

As Mu Chen stood in the middle of the Spiritual Energy Windstorm, his robe fluttered in the wind. Spiritual light shot out from his skin, then shone brightly around him. Waves upon waves of powerful Spiritual Energy oppressions then started to shoot forth continually from his body.

This was the power of a Divine Heavenly Sovereign!

As Mu Chen sensed the majestic spiritual energy that was surging in his body, he could not help but get excited. He then was able to gradually calm himself down.

He knew that, although he had advanced to the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level, this was only the first step of his journey. His ultimate goal was to reach the Tri-God Level.

He then took a deep breath and formed a seal with his hands, while saying, “Qi into Trinity!”

Instantly, two rays of bright light immediately shot out from his body, then landed at his side. These rays were the black and white Mu Chens.

The locations where the three of them were standing formed a triangular shape, of which Immortal Emperor was its center. They then stretched out their hands and simultaneously touched the Immortal Emperor’s body. As they did so, a great suction power burst forth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The area thundered, while a vast majestic spiritual energy surged into Mu Chen’s black and white replicas. As they continued to absorb the spiritual energy, their bodies shivered.

As Mu Chen and his two replicas were absorbing the spiritual energy, they noticed that the speed of this process was much faster than before. However, Mu Chen was calm and did not seem affected by this. This was because he already knew that, as his black and white replicas became more powerful, it would be more difficult for him to control them.

Even though Mu Chen knew this, he did not stop. Instead, he hastened the absorption speed. Then, after taking a long look at the black and white Mu Chens, Mu Chen shut his eyes and waited patiently for their absorptions to reach their limits.

This was a long wait. In fact, he waited half a year for it to happen!

Half a year later to the day, Mu Chen finally opened his eyes and looked at his two replicas. At this time, a powerful spiritual light was surrounding the pair, and when they blinked their eyes, an overbearing spiritual energy oppression was clearly felt.

Under Mu Chen’s careful arrangements, the replicas’ spiritual energy had surpassed his even his own spiritual energy! Mu Chen could feel that he was losing control over his two replicas, as the connection between them had clearly weakened and become somewhat obscure.

However, Mu Chen continued to look calm as he thought to himself… It is still not enough.

Mu Chen then formed a seal with one hand, while the Primordial Immortal Body appeared behind him. It then turned into a glazed light and surged into his body.

“In harmony with the Celestial Body!” Mu Chen shouted.

At this moment, Mu Chen was already at the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level. When he activated his body to merge with the Sovereign Celestial Body, he realized that it was easier than it had been in the past.

A dazzling, glazed light burst out from Mu Chen’s body. At the same time, a glazed light surged his two replicas’ eyes. The spiritual energy in his two replicas shot up once again!

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, Mu Chen’s replicas’ flesh started to squirm about, while spiritual light gathered in their eyes. At the same time, their bodies seemed to be undergoing vague changes.

As Mu Chen was sensing these changes, a light suddenly shot out from his eyes. He felt his connection with his two replicas weakening with every breath.

When the Undying Lord, who was standing in the distance, saw what had taken place, the expression on his face changed and he muttered, “What is he doing? His replicas are too powerful. Is he not afraid of losing control over them?”

However, Mu Chen looked calm. As he watched his two replicas, he could indistinctly feel that, even though his connection with his two replicas had weakened, there was a certain connection that was still binding him and his two replicas together. After all, the two replicas were not refined by any external object, but had come directly from his body!

Mu Chen pondered many things in his head at this moment… Although I created my replicas, there is a clear distinction between the primary person and the secondary person in the first two realms of the Qi into Trinity. At these two realms, when I am destroyed, my replicas will naturally disperse also. However, this is not the ultimate realm of the Qi into Trinity.

Mu Chen looked as though he had experienced a moment of enlightenment as he mumbled to himself, “In order for me to reach the Tri-God Level, I have to destroy my primary self. You are in me, and I am in you. In this way, it can be seen that the replica is me, and I am the replica…”

Mu Chen then curled his lips into a smile as he looked at his two replicas. He then stood up and lifted his hand. At that moment, a mysterious light appeared on his palm.

“From now on, we are one. If anyone wants to destroy me, he will have to kill all three of us,” Mu Chen declared.

What this statement meant was, in the future, if anyone wanted to kill Mu Chen, he would have to kill him and his two replicas at the same time. Unless all three of them were killed at the same time, no one would be able to kill Mu Chen!

After Mu Chen had completed his statement, he waved his hand downward. The moment his hand came down, the black Mu Chen’s body shook, while avast spiritual intelligence appeared in his eyes. The black Mu Chen then broke out into a big smile. His smile looked exactly like Mu Chen’s!

He then cupped his fist at Mu Chen. Mu Chen smiled back, then lifted up his hand again. After drawing some mysterious signs with his hand, he brought his hand down once again.

As he did so, a spiritual light burst out from the white Mu Chen’s eyes. Then, the white Mu Chen smiled and said, “This is the Tri-God Level!”

Mu Chen smiled back. At this moment, he could feel that he had totally lost control over his two replicas. However, it did not mean that he was completely out of control and destined for chaos, as now that all three of them had one another living inside of them, they no longer needed to be controlled.

Mu Chen lifted up his hand, and just when he was about to bring it down again, he was suddenly distracted by something. He had a strange feeling, so he immediately went into a meditative state, searching for enlightenment.

He stood on the same spot for half a day in this state, while the black and white Mu Chens were in deep thought as well. After a long while, Mu Chen slowly lifted up his head to look at the black and white Mu Chens, who looked back at him and nodded their heads.

Mu Chen then brought down his hand, which contained a mysterious light, and slashed it down twice. After Mu Chen had done so, his body shook violently.

In the next instant, two rays of golden light shot out from his head, then dashed out of the Northern Wilderness Hill at an extremely fast speed before quickly disappearing. Mu Chen fixed his gaze on the two rays of golden light until they had completely disappeared.

Swoosh!

Mu Chen then saw the Undying Lord darting toward him across the sky. The Undying Lord soon landed on the altar, and when he saw Mu Chen and his two replicas, an astonished look appeared on his weathered face.

Even he was unable to tell which of the three was the real Mu Chen, although one could technically say that all three of them were now Mu Chen… In a sense!

“Congratulations, Lord Mu, you have successfully cultivated the Tri-God Level!” The Undying Lord was impressed by Mu Chen, so he congratulated him from the bottom of his heart. From his voice, one could tell that he was full of admiration for Mu Chen.

Although Mu Chen was currently at the initial stage of the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level, the Undying Lord could already feel an oppression coming from him. This made the Undying Lord realize that, if he and Mu Chen were to get into a fight, he would be no match for Mu Chen! This was because Mu Chen’s current combat strength in the Great Thousand World was second to only the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor!

After the Undying Lord congratulated Mu Chen, he waved his hand, causing two streamers to immediately dart across the horizon and shoot toward them. The two streamers then hung directly in front of the Undying Lord and Mu Chen.

As Mu Chen’s senses were triggered by this, he lifted up his head. When he did so, he saw that two lotuses were hanging in the air in front of him. Moreover, these two lotuses had two figures within them, both of which were emitting ancient fluctuations.

One of the figures possessed a Divine Light, and as the Divine Light shone throughout the area, it carried with it a strong defensive power. It was so strong, even if the world collapsed, it would not be able to destroy anything that was safely within the confines of the Divine Light.

The other figure exuded endless spiritual energy fluctuations. This spiritual energy was so rich and powerful, even though Mu Chen was currently at the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level, he was thoroughly impressed by it.

“Are these the legendary number one defensive powers, the Endless Light Body and the Great Spirit Sacred Body, which are the richest spiritual energies in the Great Thousand World?” Mu Chen muttered to himself, while he looked at the two figures in awe. He could not help but feel excited at this moment.

The Undying Lord was impressed as well as he looked at the two Primitive Celestial Bodies. There were currently only five Primitive Celestial Bodies left in the Great Thousand World, and three of them had appeared in this place! If the people of this world were to find out about this, it would cause a great commotion!

If the Great Thousand World was not facing such a life threatening situation, it would be unlikely for anyone to be able to possess one Primitive Celestial Bodies, much less three! As the Undying Lord thought of Mu Chen successfully possessing three Primitive Celestial Bodies, even he felt overwhelmed.

If Mu Chen possessed the strongest defensive power from the Endless Light Body, the endless flow of rich spiritual energy from the Great Spirit Sacred Body, and the power of immortality from the Primordial Immortal Body, there was a high possibility that he would become the third person to leave his name on the Heaven’s Declaration!

“Lord Mu, I have handed over the Endless Light Body and the Great Spirit Sacred Body to you. Now, the rest is up to you,” the Undying Lord said in a deep voice.

“I will do my best, Undying Lord!” Mu Chen replied, a grim look filling his face.

Mu Chen knew that the Great Thousand World had given him a great opportunity in order for him to become the third person to leave his name on the Heaven’s Declaration. As he enjoyed the benefits that this opportunity brought him, he also had to bear the great responsibility and burden that came along with it as well.

While thinking of these things, Mu Chen turned to look at the black and white Mu Chens. With equally grave expressions on both of their faces, they nodded at him.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, the black and white Mu Chens shot up into the sky and landed on the lotus platform. They then walked up the steps and came into stood before the two ancient figures.
