The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Boom!

The booming sound continued to be heard throughout the Northern Wilderness Hill while beams of light ribbons shot out from the upside-down bronze coffins. The lights intertwined and formed an incredible array in the sky above the Northern Wilderness Hill.

The enormous array looked flimsy. However, the array was brewing strength that could strike fear into anyone. Even the later-stage Divine Grade Sovereigns would be afraid of that kind of power. A thin layer of light appeared in the sky and loomed over the Northern Wilderness Hill just like a rapidly-forming, strong, and powerful shield.

In the Great Thousand Palace, Qin Tian stood up and lifted his chin. His gaze seemed to penetrate the palace, and he saw the flimsy array above the Northern Wilderness Hill. Everyone heard Qin Tian’s deep, loud voice as he commanded, “Distribute the manpower around the various bronze coffins and inject all your spiritual energy into them!”

As his voice faded, he swung his robe. Everyone, including Mu Chen, saw a change in the environment before them. They all landed on the coffins. At that moment, they were surrounded by a vast, black land. Every bronze coffin was stuck to the ground like a nail and had a figure on it.

Mu Chen sat on one of the coffins with his legs crossed. He looked up with a solemn expression and stared at the flimsy, gigantic array just above his head. Mu Chen sensed the power that was brewing within the array. A small amount of that power could make the spiritual energy within his body quiver. “That kind of power has already gone beyond the Divine Grade level…” Mu Chen muttered.

This Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array had been created using the Immortal Emperor’s life and contained superb power that was mysterious and unpredictable. The oppression it gave off was so daunting that it was beyond what words could describe.

“What kind of power is that?” While Mu Chen was observing the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array, Qin Tian also showed up on the coffin that was right in the middle of that black land. He, too, was staring hard at the enormous array.

The majestic power within the array was weakening. That was because the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array was about to complete a round of rotation. The moment the rotation was completed, the entire group of people had to inject a vast amount of spiritual energy immediately to circulate the array once again. When the last rotation was completed, it would completely wipe out the Heavenly Evil Deity’s vitality.

The glow that was looming over the entire Northern Wilderness Hill was getting weaker. After approximately 15 minutes, the spiritual light in the sky went out completely.

Boom!

The earth began to shake violently, and huge cracks started to form on the ground without stopping. Clouds of demonic aura escaped from the cracks like spiraling smoke. As soon as the clouds of demonic aura surfaced, the entire land fell into darkness. The spiritual energy in every corner of the universe where the demonic aura swept through was polluted and eroded.

A Heavenly Sovereign who was careless with his position was blown off of a coffin by the demonic aura. He did not even have time to scream before he was reduced to black powder and vanished with the wind. Everyone, including Mu Chen, had a drastic change in their expressions. They had not expected that the demonic aura would be so domineering to such an extent.

Roar!

A low bellow came out from the deepest area of the ground. They all stared at the deep, dark cracks with their eyes focused on the thing within. They could see a pair of vague and extremely evil eyes looking back at them from the ground with daunting killing aura. As they stared at that pair of evil eyes, they could feel a chill coming up from their feet straight to their head.

At this time, Qin Tian’s loud warning came like a sudden thunder that woke everyone up. “Take note of the spiritual energy and circulate the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array! We must not let the Heavenly Evil Deity escape from the seal!”

All the Heavenly Sovereigns redoubled their focus. Without any hesitation, they circulated their vast spiritual energy around their bodies and transformed them into currents. Powerful spiritual energy began to stream non-stop into the bronze coffin under their legs.

Weng!

With the help of the Heavenly Sovereigns, the bronze coffins suddenly gave off dazzling brightness. Spiritual light swept through the land and encompassed every corner in the Northern Wilderness Hill within a short period. Like a layer of netting, it covered the ground and sealed off the leaks that gave off the daunting demonic aura.

Dong!

The endless demonic aura bashed against the net of light without stopping causing the earth to shake violently. However, the demonic aura remained trapped by that net.

Qin Tian looked stern and exchanged gazes with the Green Shirt Sword Saint and the Undying Lord. Suddenly, a vast amount of spiritual energy gathered behind the three of them forming three giant Sovereign Celestial Bodies.

A massive figure with a golden wheel in its hand was standing behind Qin Tian. Spiritual energy surrounded the enormous figure and stars were engraved on the body. It was ranked ninth on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies – The Heavenly Wheel Demon Exterminating Body!

Instead of a human figure, a huge sword emitting a green glow was standing behind the Green Shirt Sword Saint. The sword was vibrating, emanating a vast amount of sword aura that almost tore the sky apart. It was ranked tenth on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies – The Green Sword Abstruse Body!

Behind the Undying Lord stood a figure that was holding onto an enormous staff. Death aura circled around its body with the presence of vitality and the mix of vitality and death brought about an endless mysterious vibe. This body was ranked twelfth on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies – The Undying Celestial Body!

At this time, none of the three later-stage Divine Grade Sovereigns would dare to reserve their strength.

Boom!

Endless vast spiritual energy poured out and was injected into the three most enormous bronze coffins under their feet.

Dong!

As they injected their spiritual energy into the coffins, the rest of the coffins jerked violently. Light pillars containing exceedingly powerful spiritual energy shot into the sky and merged with the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array.

Weng!

With the addition of the spiritual energy light pillars, the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array immediately emitted a boundless glow. The weakening force was rapidly getting stronger at that moment. However, a mysterious glow gathered in the middle of the array. While all the Heavenly Sovereigns watched in horror, the mysterious glow slowly turned into an ancient-looking, long spear. A primitive and mysterious force that had been created by the universe when the world was just formed lingered on top of the spear.

Mu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed as he was sensing that force. At that moment, he could feel the slight jerk of the Primordial Immortal Body as though it were attracted by some unknown force.

Everyone on the spot, including those experts who were at the later stage of Divine Grade like Qing Tian, was shaken. All of them felt the extremely dangerous aura coming from that ancient spear. If that long spear pointed at them, it could exterminate them even without striking.

Shoo!

The Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array vibrated slightly as though it were breathing. The next moment, the ancient spear turned into a thin light ray and descended from the sky. It shot directly into the ground.

Sstz!

The ancient spear penetrated the earth and disappeared. At the same time, everyone could hear a painful and angry demonic bellow coming from the deepest area of the earth. The land quivered violently, and the demonic aura billowed as though an ultimate fearsome creature was going to break through the seal.

Bang!

When the demonic aura bashed against the spiritual net that encompassed the land, it gave off an incredibly loud banging sound. Many mountains in the Northern Wilderness Hill area collapsed, yet the spiritual net refused to give in to the wrecking demonic aura.

After bashing the net for a while, the demonic aura gradually subsided. However, an extremely evil and sinister eye shot out within the demonic aura accompanied by a demonic voice. “Darn you! When I break through the seal, I’ll turn all the spiritual beings in the Great Thousand World into my slaves!”

Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord looked at it coldly. “Ignore it. It is only struggling before death. We just have to maintain the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array and wait for the 99 spears. Then its vitality will be completely wiped out,” Qin Tian said calmly.

All the Heavenly Sovereigns felt slightly relieved when they heard this. Immediately, they circulated their spiritual energy and injected it into the various bronze coffins without pausing.

Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord looked at each other and also felt slightly relieved since the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array was circulating once again. After the 99 spears were done, the Heavenly Evil Deity would be exterminated.

“Next, we will need to guard Northern Wilderness Hill,” said Qin Tian in a low voice.

The Green Shirt Sword Saint looked towards space outside of the hill and replied slowly, “There aren’t any movements around the region. The Extraterritorial Race has not shown up yet.”

The Undying Lord added firmly, “These evils will not give up. The Heavenly Evil Deity is their strongest card. Therefore, they will come to rescue it.”

Qin Tian nodded, too. His eyes were fixed on the space outside the hill with cold radiance surging within it.

The Northern Wilderness Hill gradually restored its peace while the Heavenly Sovereigns focused on waiting. Only the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array loomed over the hill and emanated a vast amount of mightiness. An ancient-looking spear formed every 30 minutes. It would then pierce the ground, followed by a painful demonic bellow. As the spears penetrated the ground one by one, the demonic bellow gradually weakened.

All the Heavenly Sovereigns were delighted to see this. Only Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord had no change in their expressions. Instead, they looked even more stern and continued to keep a sharp lookout.

“Aren’t those people from the Extraterritorial Race going to show up?” Mu Chen mumbled to himself and knit his eyebrows.

The moment his voice faded, boundless rays darted out from Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord’s eyes while they looked at the faraway space. Mu Chen sensed something too, and he was horrified as soon as he lifted his chin.

It was the same for all the Heavenly Sovereigns who stared at the space outside of the Northern Wilderness Hill. What they saw was a large crack torn in the air while boundless demonic aura billowed and rushed out from it.

“They are finally here…” The Green Shirt Sword Saint slowly held his sword and sighed. “Never did I expect that the Extraterritorial Race had already sneaked into one of the lower planes and transferred the space node to the outside of the Northern Wilderness Hill. What a great idea they had.”

The crack in the air was widening outside of the hill. Boundless demonic aura swept out from the crack, and demonic figures gushed in like waves. Those tall and burly figures that looked like Demonic Gods stepped out. At the same time, a creepy voice filled the land. “Rascals from the Great Thousand World! If you do not release our god today, we will turn the Great Thousand World into demonic ruins!”
