The Great Ruler

Wow!

When the loud, clear voice resounded between heaven and earth, the entire Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy broke out into thunderous exclamations. With shocked gazes, they looked up to the slender glowing figure in the sky.

Mu Chen?!

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and the rest of them opened their eyes wide with disbelief. They never expected to see Mu Chen reappear here at this time after his years of disappearance.

Moreover, what stunned them was how Mu Chen fended off the offense from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor without any effort. That was not easy, even for a later-stage Divine Grade expert. Apparently, Mu Chen’s strength had improved during the time he was gone.

“Brother Mu Chen…” Sun’Er stared at the figure blankly as her pretty cheeks flushed from excitement. She turned to those dumbfounded members of the Goddess Luo Association and chuckled. “Did you see? That’s the other founder of our association, Senior Mu Chen!”

All of the students murmured, “He… he’s awesome!” When the figure in the sky showed up, they felt that the domineering demonic mightiness from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor had been blocked by him alone. No one could attack them at all. That would mean that their Senior Mu Chen’s strength had reached a formidable stage.

“We don’t have to be afraid anymore since Brother Mu Chen is here. That demon will not be able to destroy our academy because Brother Mu Chen will definitely teach him a lesson!” Upon hearing Sun’Er’s positive remarks towards Mu Chen, all the students could not help but scratch their heads and smile bitterly.

Sister Sun’Er, don’t underestimate the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor that much. No matter what, he is still the top-notch expert from the Extraterritorial Race. Apart from the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor, who dares to treat him like dirt?

But, when the figure showed up in the sky, the fearful atmosphere in the academy eased up a great deal without anyone realizing it.

“Mu Chen?” Luo Li was also staring blankly at the slender figure before her in the sky. She seemed to find it unbelievable, too. After all, she had not received much of Mu Chen’s news during his years of seclusion.

Upon hearing Luo Li’s voice, the spiritual light toned down slightly. The slender figure turned around, revealing a familiar face. Who else could that be except for Mu Chen? “I rushed here after I got the news. Luckily, I’m not late at all.” Mu Chen smiled at Luo Li.

Upon seeing that familiar face, Luo Li finally eased up the tension and spiritual energy in her body. The next moment, her body turned to jelly. Apparently, she had used up all her strength to defend against the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor.

An arm stretched out immediately and held her willowy waist. Mu Chen felt an ache in his heart when he saw the weary look on Luo Li’s face. Guiltily, he apologized. “I’m sorry for not staying by your side these past few years.”

Luo Li chuckled softly. “Didn’t you choose to go into seclusion because of us? I’m not someone unreasonable.”

Mu Chen chose to cultivate in seclusion while enduring the loneliness and the stress all because of the Great Thousand World. At the same time, he had done it for her, too. “Okay, let me handle the rest from now on,” said Mu Chen while he gently stroked Luo Li’s smooth and delicate face.

Luo Li blushed at his affectionate action. She pressed her hands against Mu Chen’s chest and pushed him back slightly. With a giggle, she flitted behind him. “Don’t take advantage. Wait ’til you finish off that fellow.”

Looking at Luo Li as she left, Mu Chen rubbed his fingers slightly. As he recalled the soft and tender touch just now, his heart could not help but throb.

A cold and killing voice cut through the heart-warming moment Mu Chen was enjoying. “If you are done with your last words, prepare for your death.”

Mu Chen turned around and saw the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s cold stare. He was releasing domineering killing intent from his body.

Mu Chen smiled at him and said, “Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, here we meet again.”

Back then, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor had tried to kill him when Mu Chen was trying to reach the level of Heavenly Sovereign at the Lower Planes. Luckily, the Martial Ancestor had come to his rescue and fended off the attack.

“Someone rescued you last time, but you can forget about it this time.” The entire world instantly turned cold as the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s voice projected out again. “You killed my son. Today, I’m going to wipe out all of you, including you, your sweetheart, and your friends.”

Many people in the academy were horrified by the immense killing intent from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor. What surprised them most was that both of them bore grudges for so long, and Mu Chen even killed his son.

Mu Chen laughed at the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s hideous look. His pitch-black eyes stared at the latter as he said slowly, “I think the problem you should think of now is how to keep yourself alive.”

“Haha, ignorant fellow!” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor let out a burst of mocking laughter. He stared at Mu Chen and asked, “Do you think you are fit to fight with me because you are a Divine Grade Sovereign?!”

Boom!

As his voice trailed off, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s face suddenly turned hideous. When both of his hands clenched, boundless death aura gathered and transformed into a black Demonic Banner.

“Corpse Demon Banner!” As the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor raised his voice, the Demonic Banner flapped, and millions of demonic figures whizzed out. When these demonic figures gathered, they formed a stream of black Death River. Millions of corpses were floating around shrieking endlessly in the black river.

“Corpse Demon Nether River!” The Nether River roared like a vast dragon and swept directly towards Mu Chen. Death aura lingered in the air as space collapsed wherever the stream flowed through. Even a Divine Grade expert would not dare to go head-on against it for fear of polluting one’s spiritual energy.

When the Nether River swept in, Mu Chen looked up, but his handsome face remained composed. All he did was stretch out a finger in the air and tap gently. “Immortal Ancient River!”

Rumble.

An ancient stream of river water began to spurt out from the tip of Mu Chen’s finger. The stream seemed to come from ancient times, flowing through with an aging vibe. Anything that fell into the river would be eroded by it and decay.

Boom!

The two rivers crashed into one another in the sky, and space continued to collapse. When the collision happened, the look on the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s face changed instantly. No matter how his Nether River tried to invade the Ancient River, it remained unmoved. However, when the stream gushed out from the Ancient River, his Nether River began to give way, and countless corpses were shrieking as they decayed.

Boom!

After the violent impact spread out, the Nether River was defeated within a short while.

“D*mn!” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor could not remain calm as he jumped up from his skeleton throne. A pair of cold-looking eyes stared at Mu Chen, but doubt and surprise were swirling in them.

Mu Chen’s skill was too formidable. For some reason, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from Mu Chen as he struck. Among the many experts from the Great Thousand World, only two people gave him the same feeling… the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor. Had Mu Chen reached the level of the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor within the short span of five years?

“How could it be possible?!” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor felt extremely surprised while his face showed mixed emotions. Eventually, his expression turned ruthless. It looked like he had to display his last trump card to test this fellow out.

“I want to see how long you can hold out! Heavenly Corpse God Demon Golem!” As the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor hugged the air, his body jerked violently. Immediately, endless demonic aura swept out and formed a huge Demonic Golem behind him.

Death aura lingered around that Demonic Golem with many ugly faces popping out from its body. Loud shrieks cut through the air between heaven and earth. Just the sound of it alone could cause spiritual energy to backfire and detonate the physical body. The domineering demonic oppression had reached its peak so that even the entire Northern Heavens Continent was quaking.

Many people in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy looked pale as they stared at the huge golem standing between heaven and earth. There was no doubt that this golem had the power to blow up the entire continent. Even with Luo Li, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jing’s strength, they were also afraid of such domineering power.

The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor looked at Mu Chen hideously as his body slowly rose. Finally, his body merged with the Heavenly Corpse God Demon Golem.

Weng!

The Demonic Golem’s gigantic eyes opened with demonic light striking out from them. The look of it seemed like it was going to tear the world apart. A roar containing endless killing intent projected out to the world. “Mu Chen, you’ll pay for the death of my son! Today, you’ll be doomed!”

While the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was bellowing, Mu Chen also looked up and gazed upon that huge Demonic Golem. Subsequently, his lips formed a contemptuous smile. “Is this your most powerful strength?” he murmured and stepped forward. “If so, you can go to hell…”
