The Great Ruler

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1541

After the moment of intimacy, the two cuddled together. Luo Li’s snow-white delicate body was dotted with sweat, gently lying atop Mu Chen. Her sated appearance exuded an indescribable charm as her eyelashes fluttered, petite and enchanting.

Mu Chen looked at his beloved in his arms as he stroked her smooth and delicate back. He felt her unreserved attachment to him and felt boundless tenderness in his heart.

Luo Li blinked slowly in his embrace, her beautiful eyes opening languidly. There was deep affection in her gaze as she glanced at Mu Chen shyly. “You naughty man, you promised to wait until after our wedding.” Luo Li bit her red lips as she pinched Mu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen chuckled sheepishly, holding Luo Li in his arms tightly. Luo Li buried her face in Mu Chen’s chest as her hand gently stroked his smooth and tight abdominal muscles. She looked at Mu Chen with a rare, childlike demeanor. She blushed and suddenly asked, “Would you like a boy or a girl?”

Mu Chen was taken aback but quickly smiled gently. “I would like a girl, because she will grow to be as beautiful as her mother.”

Luo Li smirked and stretched out her slender arms, wrapping them around Mu Chen’s neck as she grinned. “What should we name her?”

Mu Chen pondered as his enthusiasm rose. “How about we each choose a name?”

“I have Chen in my name, which represents dust. I think my parents named me as such because they wanted me to be as unremarkable as dust, so that I could live a stable life.” Mu Chen smiled and stretched out his palm, caressing Luo Li’s taut stomach. “But if it’s my daughter, then I naturally hope that she can be ethereal and free, just like the clouds, so I’ll choose the name Yun, which represents clouds.”

Luo Li smiled radiantly and tilted her head. “I hope the Extraterritorial Race and other evils will retreat from the Great Thousand World, and the sun can shine again. So, if we have a girl, I will give her the name Xi,” Luo Li replied. Xi represented light.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. “If we have a daughter, we can name her Mu Yunxi, and as for a son, we can name him Mu Tu, Mu Shi. Anything goes.”

Luo Li couldn’t help but glance at Mu Chen reproachfully and mutter exasperatedly, “Why are you so biased towards girls?!”

“But Mu Yunxi is a good name.”

Luo Li’s eyes were bright as she bit her red lips. Her face glowed with expectation. That look was particularly attractive. Mu Chen looked at Luo Li, who was full of anticipation, with tenderness surging in his heart. He clenched his fist slowly. This scene was so beautiful, and there was much to look forward to in the future.

If the Heavenly Evil Deity tries to destroy all this… Murderous hostility flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes. Then I can only destroy the Heavenly Evil Deity! As this thought surged in Mu Chen’s heart, two figures sitting on two lotus platforms in the distant Northern Wilderness Hills slowly opened their eyes as if sensing something. Their eyes had previously been closed for many years.

The moment they opened their eyes, an endless spiritual light emanated behind them and shrouded the Northern Wilderness Hills. In the depths of spiritual light, one could vaguely see two ancient silhouettes emanating an infinite mysterious and ancient aura. One silhouette was emanating brilliant light, and where the light passed, it seemed indestructible. The other emitted boundless spiritual energy, never to be exhausted.

These two silhouettes were, of course, the Endless Light Body and Great Spirit Sacred Body. After years of gruelling cultivation, these two Primitive Celestial Bodies had finally completed their cultivation. At the same time, Mu Chen, who was at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, also sensed it and heaved a long sigh of relief.

“It’s finally complete.” However, just as Mu Chen was immersed in that sense of satisfaction, suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He jerked his head and looked sharply in the direction of the Demons’ Domain outside the Great Thousand World.

“Mu Chen, what is it?” Luo Li was the first to detect Mu Chen’s change in mood.

“The Heavenly Evil Deity has emerged,” Mu Chen’s voice rumbled, carrying a strong sense of murderous intent.

At the same time, in the fortress-like city behind the boundaries of the Great Thousand World, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor sat on the high platform and slowly opened their eyes. Their eyes met, flowing with flames and vast spiritual energy, as murderous intent slowly emanated from their bodies.

That murderous intent was not much, but it shrouded the whole city. Suddenly, the city’s countless sovereigns’ faces changed as they looked up in the direction where the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were.

Whoosh!

Xiao Xun’er, Cai Lin, Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu, and the Queen of the Martial Border all appeared behind the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. “What happened?” they asked gravely.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked impassive, and then there was a silence echoing in the ears of countless powerful sovereigns in the city. “The Heavenly Evil Deity has appeared. Spread my orders, be on highest alert, and stop the attacks at the front line.” As soon as this statement rang out, the hearts of countless sovereigns were shaking. Their gazes were constantly changing. There was anger, fear, and surprisingly, a great deal of relief.

Over the past five years, the Heavenly Evil Deity had completely disappeared, but although he had remained hidden, he still instilled fear in all of the Great Thousand World’s beings. Now, this haunting fear had finally returned to the hearts of millions of sovereigns, but they relaxed. At least there would be no more fear that the Heavenly Evil Deity would come at a time when they didn’t know what to do. Either way, it would be a battle to the death.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked up at the distant nothingness with piercing gazes, as if they could see the end of the darkness through the obstacle of space. The darkness surged, and the boundless demonic energy turned into rolling black clouds.

Above the dark clouds, a white-robed figure stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His face was fair, and he had the demeanor of a scholar. He radiated an unsettling aura of compassion. On his forehead, three vertical eyes opened with evil light overflowing in them. At one moment, its gaze flickered. He looked up slightly, smiling cryptically. It was as if he had made eye contact with the distant Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.

The three glances collided as the space shook. An invisible feeling of pressure billowed, shrouding tens of thousands of miles.

“Gentlemen, I haven’t seen you in a long time,” the Heavenly Evil Deity whispered quietly, pointing at the two distant figures with his slender fingers, smiling meaningfully. “The day I arrive is the day of destruction of your Great Thousand World.” As his finger pointed, he blocked out the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s perception, and the world turned dark.

Spiritual light scattered in the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s eyes as they quietly looked at the nothingness, their gazes gradually becoming cold. “The Heavenly Evil Deity will arrive in one day.”

Hearing the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s words, the four Queens of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border also became extremely solemn. “This day has finally arrived.”

Xiao Xun’er frowned slightly and asked softly, “How is Mu Chen doing?”

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor let out a gratified smile and said, “He did not let us down, indeed.” The moment before, they also felt a wave of perfection form in the Great Thousand World, which apparently belonged to Mu Chen.

The tense faces of the four Queens relaxed slightly. If Mu Chen had succeeded, they still had a chance at defeating the Heavenly Evil Deity.

“Now, let us try and see how strong the peak state of the nine-eyed Heavenly Evil Deity is.” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor looked up, their voices calm and without a hint of fear. They even held a glimmer of anticipation.

Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy.

Mu Chen stood up, stretched out his palm to Luo Li, and said, “We should go, too. Tomorrow, it will be time to decide the fate of the Great Thousand World.”

Luo Li’s face was solemn as she gently nodded.

With a wave of his sleeve, the spiritual fog gradually dissipated as he held Luo Li’s hands, soaring into the sky.

Innumerable disciples in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy seemed to have sensed something, all raising their heads. They then bowed solemnly, clasping their fists together, their cherubic voices chorusing in a deafening uproar between the heavens and earth. “Senior, return in victory!”

At a corner in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and Tang Qian’er looked up at Mu Chen’s shadow in the sky and then slowly bowed, their fists clasped together tightly. “Mu Chen, we are waiting here with wine, and we hope you will return victorious.” They all understood that Mu Chen was fighting the war for Great Thousand World.

In the sky, Mu Chen heard the loud uproars reverberating between the heavens and the earth and smiled. He tilted his head and whispered to Luo Li, “For you, and also for the little one named Mu Yunxi in the future… I will not lose this war.”
