The Great Ruler

Ablaze!

Flames were ablaze in the starry sky. They looked as if they were formed by the condensation of starlight. Eventually, the flames swept through and transformed into huge fiery flame dragons. Their roars reverberated in the sky as they charged directly towards the Lord of Divine Pavilion, who was bound by the starry chains.

Horror and fear emerged on the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s face, and a deep regret poured out in his heart. He did not expect that his greedy attempt to use the power of the Sky-Devouring Evil Emperor to complete his breakthrough to the rank of Upper Earthly Sovereign would eventually lead to such a catastrophe.

Moreover, he did not expect that the Fourth Hall Master, who had already fallen, would retain such powerful techniques…

It’s the d*mn brat’s fault!

The Lord of Divine Pavilion growled malevolently in his heart. If it hadn’t been for Mu Chen, who had suddenly awakened the puppet, he would have defeated the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns and won the final victory.

However, at this moment, no matter how much he roared regretfully, in the face of the Starry Flame Dragon’s brutal blow, what surprised him was that there was no horrifyingly high temperature emanating from the dragon’s body. However, the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s face grew increasingly frightened.

Although his physical appearance was intact, his body had been in turmoil, especially his Sovereign Sea. His spiritual energy was boiling in a frenzy, and it was breaking free from his control and threatening to burst out from the Sovereign Sea.

“What exactly do you want? Don’t go too far. If it culminates in a life and death struggle, both of us will be doomed!” The Lord of Divine Pavilion felt the change in his Sovereign Sea. His face twisted grotesquely, and he gnashed his teeth.

“Haha, you are talking about a life and death struggle to someone like me who has already fallen?” Outside the Starry Suppression Tower, the Fourth Hall Master laughed incredulously. His gaze turned cold as he scoffed, “I said, I will take back what is not yours!”

As he said his piece, the Fourth Hall Master’s seals transformed abruptly, and suddenly the Starry Flames surged and turned into numerous streams of fire, trailing along the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s skin as they squirmed into his body in a steady stream.

Ah!

The Lord of Divine Pavilion emitted a pained, shrill growl, and then his body shook violently. A powerful light beam of spiritual energy sprayed out of his mouth, and the power of the beam was so strong that it almost materialized.

That was the origin form of spiritual energy in the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s Sovereign Sea!

In that pillar of spiritual light, Mu Chen and the others perceived a familiar wave, and immediately their hearts were shocked, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes.

That was the fluctuation of Spiritual Godly Potion!

This Fourth Hall Master was brutal indeed, extracting and cultivating the Spiritual Godly Potion the Lord of Divine Pavilion had absorbed previously. In this way, the Lord of Divine Pavilion would be reduced to his original form without the Spiritual Godly Potion!

“The Fourth Hall Master didn’t leave any loopholes at all and actually retained such powerful means!” When Mandela and the others saw this scene, their gazes turned solemn, and their expressions tensed.

“What happened?” Mu Chen asked in bewilderment.

“The Spiritual Godly Potion we had absorbed and refined before possessed a seal that was hidden by the Fourth Hall Master, but it was so well concealed that even I did not notice it.”

Mandela’s face was solemn as she explained. “However, there is no malevolent intention in this seal. As time passes, it should soon disappear from our bodies, but… before that, if it was manipulated by the Fourth Hall Master again, he would be able to easily control and refine the Spiritual Godly Potion previously absorbed in our bodies.”

Mu Chen was shocked upon hearing this. It was no wonder that the Fourth Hall Master could so easily reduce the Lord of Divine Pavilion to his original form, leaving such a savage blow, but fortunately he only targeted the Lord of Divine Pavilion. Otherwise, even Mandela and the other Earthly Sovereigns would suffer a heavy blow.

This Fourth Hall Master became one of the elite figures in the Primordial Celestial Palace and enjoyed an eminent reputation. He demonstrated that he was no character to be trifled with. This time, the Lord of Divine Pavilion had been extremely unfortunate.

As they spoke, great light beams of spiritual energy rushed out of the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s body within the Starry Suppression Tower, and his whole body’s spiritual fluctuations dropped sharply. In a few moments, he had dropped down from the rank of Upper Earthly Sovereign and was once again at the peak of Lower Earthly Sovereign…

Thus, the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s excruciating struggle in this Great Hunting War had been utterly futile.

The Lord of Divine Pavilion’s eyes turned momentarily dull and stunned because of such drastic changes in his body. Then, a crazy scarlet surged out of his eyes. He had planned and schemed for so many years just to break through to the rank of Upper Earthly Sovereign, but now all his effort had been destroyed thoroughly by the Fourth Hall Master.

Facing such a blow, even with the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s composure, it was too much for him to take.

“Fourth Hall Master!”

The Lord of Divine Pavilion let out a skyward roar. The venom of his roar soared into the sky, and then a violent spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from his body. The starry sky around him twisted and distorted, and the starry chains that bound him shattered.

“This fellow has gone crazy. He actually wants to explode his Sovereign Sea!” Upon seeing the scene, Mandela and the others’ faces suddenly twisted dramatically. The Lord of Divine Pavilion had gone mad. He wanted to detonate his Sovereign Sea, as that move guaranteed death.

In the distance, the members of the Divine Pavilion saw what was happening. Their faces had gone deathly pale, and desperation dimmed their eyes. At this point, the Divine Pavilion would no longer have standing among the top forces in the North Territory.

Boom!

The Lord of Divine Pavilion had no time to take into consideration what would happen to the Divine Pavilion. His eyes looked at the void with an insane glint, and then cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. Under the cracks, spiritual light blossomed brightly, and in the next moment, brilliant light erupted as his body exploded violently.

Rumble!

An unparalleled spiritual energy impact emanated wildly. The starry sky was shattered, and the entire Starry Suppression Tower trembled violently. The surface of the pyramid rippled, as if it were being torn apart by the terrible spiritual energy impact.

Although the Lord of Divine Pavilion had been reduced to the rank of Lower Earthly Sovereign, with the insane detonation of his Sovereign Sea, such destructive power could tear the heavens apart. If not for the Starry Suppression Tower suppressing that destructive power, only a handful of people would have been able to escape alive.

The Fourth Hall Master looked at the Starry Suppression Tower, which was about to shatter, and knitted his eyebrows. Apparently, he had underestimated the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s madness and determination.

Once the Starry Suppression Tower was broken, the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s spirit hidden within could also take advantage of the opportunity to escape. He would be an immense threat in future if he cultivated again.

“I’m afraid you have miscalculated, pitting yourself against a man like me who is long dead.”

The Fourth Hall Master smiled coldly. He had already fallen and was only supported with the power of a shred of rationality in a spiritual puppet. Since the Lord of Divine Pavilion had such courage, and the Fourth Hall Master was once the Overlord of the North Territory, why should he hesitate?

Coming to a decision, the Fourth Hall Master conjured up seals with both hands. In the next moment, cracks emerged on the spiritual puppet as it began to crumble. A wave of terrifying spiritual energy raged.

His seals were constantly transforming, and eventually the Spiritual Puppet’s body burst apart. A terrible spiritual energy torrent surged out, pouring frantically into the Starry Suppression Tower.

With the incredible spiritual energy assistance of the Fourth Hall Master, the tremors of the Starry Suppression Tower slowly subsided and after a few moments, the horrifying impact from the Lord of Divine Pavilion erupting his Sovereign Sea had been completely suppressed.

In the Starry Suppression Tower, the starry sky was restored once again as a bright spiritual light appeared. It expanded into a human figure, which was the Lord of Divine Pavilion.

However, his body was illusory as his physical body was apparently destroyed. Only his spirit was left, and at this point, fear finally emerged on his face.

He did not expect that even if he exploded his Sovereign Sea, he would fail to escape from the Starry Suppression Tower!

The Lord of Divine Pavilion growled, “Fourth Hall Master, I have no feud against you. Now that I self-destructed my flesh, what else do you want from me?!” It was clear that there was a tone of submission and surrender in his voice.

In the Starry Suppression Tower, the space rippled as a spiritual shadow emerged. It was the Fourth Hall Master. He loomed over the Lord of Divine Pavilion indifferently and said nonchalantly, “Anyone who is associated with the evil Extraterritorial Race is a traitor to the Great Thousand World. The Palace Master has ordered that such people deserve to have their spirits utterly destroyed!”

As he finished speaking, the Fourth Hall Master no longer hesitated. With a movement of the seals, he activated the Starry Suppression Tower, prompting the power of the stars to descend from the sky. At last, it was transformed into a three-dimensional triangle of stars. The starlight seemed to be filled with ancient runes and possessed a terrible power to suppress all things.

“You only have yourself to blame for turning to such unscrupulous methods!”

The Starlight Seal directly entrapped the Lord of Divine Pavilion as the Fourth Hall Master suddenly grasped the Starlight Seal. In spite of the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s mad struggle, the seal quickly diminished in size and shrank to the size of a palm. Suddenly, it erupted and exploded loudly into shards of starlight fragments.

Mu Chen and the others stared at the numerous starlight fragments, as they couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle out of shock. Who would have thought that the most powerful Sovereign of the North Territory would have been eradicated by the Fourth Hall Master with such dominant techniques?

Although most of these were powered by the Starry Suppression Tower, it also revealed how immensely powerful this former Overlord of the Northern Territory was.

However, to their great relief, now that the Lord of Divine Pavilion had been annihilated, Daluo Territory’s crisis had been averted, and by virtue of Mandela being only half a step away from breaking through to the rank of Upper Earthly Sovereign, their prestige in the North Territory would undoubtedly rise, surpassing even the Divine Pavilion to become the most powerful top force in the North Territory!
