The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Whoosh!

Mu Chen and Luo Li’s figures travelled like fishes swimming in the chaotic Sea of Judgement. Their silhouettes were extremely agile as they instantly flashed, accelerating their speeds at the same time as they dodged the endlessly appearing Spiritual Energy vortices.

However, the pressure from the chaotic ocean was simply too powerful as any action would exhaust much more Spiritual Energy compared to outside. Thus, even the condition of Mu Chen and Luo Li was greatly reduced from the high depletion.

Sweat started to form on the forehead of those two, but the two of them still kept high concentration as they didn’t dare to loosen up as the number of Spiritual Energy vortices was constantly increasing in numbers. Furthermore, the frequency of them appearing was also increasingly faster, making it inscrutable.

The moment they fall into a Spiritual Energy vortex, even if they could break free from it, it would still exhaust a large amount of their Spiritual Energy, and the end of this Sea of Judgement still couldn’t be seen. The moment their Spiritual Energy was fully depleted, it was basically impossible to advance any further.

Poof.

Another Spiritual Energy vortex with the size of around a hundred feet appeared on the right in front of them, the vortex was spinning as though it was like a mouth of a savage beast that was trying to devour the two of them.

Black lightning exploded off the surface of Mu Chen’s body as he flashed past it at lightning speed, dodging the range of the vortex.

Whereas Luo Li stood on the Luo God Sword as piercing Sword Intent was being emitted, the sharpness of it even tore apart the Spiritual Energy, creating an empty space which allowed her to travel through.

After dodging that vortex, Mu Chen lightly spat out a mouthful of air. After maintaining this for half an hour, his body was getting more and more used to the Spiritual Energy pressure. But even so, despite the strength of his physical body, he felt faint stinging pain on his skin, which the rest was probably withstanding with their robust Spiritual Energy.

But even so, it wasn’t a permanent solution as he could sense that the surrounding pressure was rapidly getting stronger and stronger as time passed.

Furthermore, they did not dare to use any intensive method when resisting the pressure as the Spiritual Energy here was extremely chaotic, the instant there was an intense Spiritual Energy fluctuation, it would only fuel a larger vortex.

Thus, they were all exceptionally careful as they advanced.

“The Spiritual Energy pressure here is getting stronger, perhaps the exit will appear soon.” Luo Li spoke in a soft voice as she moved closer to Mu Chen.

Even with their strength, it was getting hard to endure the Spiritual Energy pressure. However, the Five Great Deans would not have set up a test that exceeded their limits. Otherwise, it was basically impossible for anyone to escape the Sea of Judgement.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head, his shifted his gaze in an instant, looking a short distance away at his left and right, where Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan and Xue Tianhe were rapidly advancing.

Due to the reason of the vortices becoming more and more densely-packed, the distance between the five of them was also pulled closer.

Wen Qingxuan also took notice of them as well as she waved her hand towards their direction with a charming smile on her face, which was extremely attractive.

Luo Li returned her smile, and so did Mu Chen.

The silhouettes of the five people had turned into streaks of light as they rapidly advanced with all sorts of methods. But, generally speaking, there wasn’t a considerable distance between the five of them as they chased after one another.

Mu Chen had also exerted his Lightning God’s Physique to his limits as black lightning was constantly flickering on the surface of his body. However, the lightning did not last for a long time, before it was suppressed back into his body by the powerful Spiritual Energy pressure, sending piercing pains to himself.

In the beginning, the piercing pain made Mu Chen feel extremely annoyed, since it prevented him from being focused on sensing those vortices that instantly appeared, causing numerous situations where he was nearly sucked into one of those Spiritual Energy vortices.

However, that frustration only lasted for a brief moment, before he was startled when he vaguely felt a sour numbing sensation from the piercing pain, it was similar to when he was refining his physique with lightning.

Thus, he felt fine increments in the strength of his physique from the sour numbing sensation.

That discovery made him rather startled, and after further examination, he understood what was going on. It turns out that when the black lightning on the surface was being pressured back into his body, the lightning would travel through his muscles along with the pressure. It was precisely this refining method that made him feel the sour numbing sensation.

“So that’s how it is.”

Mu Chen suddenly saw the light of it as he never expected for the pressure to have such a miraculous effect.

“I can use it to refine my physique a little to increase my strength.” Mu Chen’s heart moved as he intended to try and use this energy to increase his strength a little. Thinking about it, he no longer hesitated as he slightly focused and loosen up his body to resist the Spiritual Energy pressure.

Just when Mu Chen was gradually submerging into his mind to use the pressure to refine his body, he failed to notice that as Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe were dodging the vortices, they were secretly getting closer to them.

They got closer very faintly to the point that even Luo Li had not noticed them as they had been travelling at high speed trying to dodge the endless Spiritual Energy vortices.

Thus, when Luo Li started to notice that Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe had been getting closer and closer to them, they were already a hundred feet away from them.

Caution rose in Luo Li’s eyes. Regarding being cautious, she wasn’t any inferior to Mu Chen. After all, she was the next Empress of the Luo God Clan, regardless of anything; thus, her guard for others was only superior and not weaker to Mu Chen.

But, clearly, Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe came prepared as they smiled the moment they saw the caution in Luo Li’s eyes, except for the fact that their smiles were a little vicious and eerie.

Boom!

Boundless Spiritual Energy burst forth from the two of them in a near instant. Due to the movement of their Spiritual Energy, the Sea of Judgement within a thousand feet in radius started to go violent.

The Spiritual Energy liquid in this region was extremely violent to begin with, and due to the commotion, it was like adding oil to the fire as an area of a thousand feet in radius started to tremble.

Buzz! Buzz!

Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out as a colossal vortex was quickly forming, the size of it nearly spread out to this vast region.

Luo Li’s face changed at this moment.

Whoosh!

However, before she could take any action, two surges of Spiritual Energies swept out from Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe’s hands. However, the two surges of Spiritual Energy wasn’t aimed at Mu Chen or Luo Li, but on themselves.

Boom! Boom!

Spiritual Energy exploded as a dozen vortices were quickly forming around Mu Chen and Luo Li, instantly engulfing them. Furthermore, due to the reason that the vortices were too close to each other, they were rapidly fusing together, forming into a gigantic vortex.

“You guys!”

Wen Qingxuan noticed their actions at this moment, and her face changed. The size of the Spiritual Energy vortex was too big that it nearly engulfed all of them.

Rustle!

Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe retreated, and at the same time, they were constantly flicking their fingers as numerous Spiritual Energy waves were shot out, making this already violent region even more dreadful.

At this Sea of Judgement, the Spiritual Energy was exceptionally sensitive and violent, adding to the fact that they timed their actions at the right time and acted out without any hesitation when Mu Chen and Luo Li were in the most sensitive area.

The two of them were extremely vicious as they unleashed the Spiritual Energy in their bodies without any restraints, causing the size of that vortex to be well over a thousand feet in radius, forming a super vortex.

Furthermore, all five of them was in the range of the vortex; however, Mu Chen and Luo Li were in the central area of it.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing as the Spiritual Energy vortex was formed, Ji Xuan and Xue Tianhe both made a grasp with their hands without any pause as an ancient jade appeared in their hands, before immediately crushing them.

The two ancient jades were crushed as the space around the two of them faintly distorted, and in a flash, their silhouettes disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already a thousand feet away and dodged the engulfing radius of the super vortex.

Clearly, the two of them were well-prepared.

At the same time, Wen Qingxuan glanced at them in hatred as she formed seals with her hands. Golden light spread out and instantly formed into large golden wings behind her.

Boom!

The wings flapped as her speed accelerated, escaping the restriction of the super vortex as she flew out. Her position was towards the edge of it, and thus, she didn’t have to spend too much energy to escape from it.

When she escaped from it, she anxiously looked at the centre of the vortex as the two silhouettes were becoming more and more blurred.

Mu Chen, who was still submerged in his mind, was startled awake in the central region of the vortex. He looked around and instantly understood what was going on as his face turned dark.

Those two fellows are have not given up their vicious designs.

“What should we do?” Luo Li had constantly been resisting the terrifying suction force coming from the super vortex as she spoke towards Mu Chen in an anxious tone, “If this goes on, we’ll be sucked into it.”

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his black pupils were filled with chill.

“It’s already impossible to resist the suction force, and if this goes on, we’ll be finished.” Mu Chen continued further, “I’ll send you out!”

Luo Li was slightly startled as she bit her rosy lips, “You still have a fight with Ji Xuan, and you shouldn’t be absent from it this time. So I’ll send you out!”

As she spoke, she held onto Mu Chen’s wrist, but before she could exert any force, Mu Chen flipped around and held onto hers instead as a smear of a smile appeared on his face.

“Indeed, this battle belongs to me, but trust me, I am not that weak… wait for me to come out!”

Spiritual Energy exploded from Mu Chen’s palm as the force pushed Luo Li out. The girl’s crystal-clear eyes were staring at Mu Chen, before she clenched her teeth in the end as her foot tapped on the empty ground beneath her. A torrential piercing Sword Aura burst out of the Luo God Sword. The Sword Aura wrapped around her silhouette as it tore through the layers of Spiritual Energy liquid and escaped the super vortex.

When Luo Li escaped from the super vortex, Mu Chen’s figure was sucked into the Spiritual Energy vortex from the dreadful suction force as he disappeared.
