The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

As bloody rain down poured between heaven and earth, everyone was silent. The power that the Blood Demon King had demonstrated earlier was so strong that he had managed to fling away the unstoppable Mu Chen with just a drop of his blood.

Faced with this insurmountable amount of power, the masters among the indigenous people could not muster up much fighting spirit. If Mu Chen was to be defeated today, perhaps they would commit suicide. Either way, they would be free.

Just as the indigenous people were stunned by the Blood Demon King’s display of power, the chaos at Blood Demon Mountain erupted into cheers at the Blood Demon King’s appearance. Although numerous Blood Demon Lords had been killed, the mere existence of the Blood Demon King was sufficient to ensure the survival of the Fiend Blood Tribe.

Mu Chen ignored the cheers, as his cold gaze was locked on the Blood Demon King, who was standing in the bloody rain.

Boom!

As Mu Chen stomped his feet, his body rose and millions of spiritual lights shone like the scorching sun. Behind him, the black and white Mu Chens hurriedly followed, and the three of them dashed towards the Blood Demon King.

Roar!

As Mu Chen’s body shook, the Spirit of the Real Dragon emerged. It then roared and merged with Mu Chen’s body, while dragon scales could be seen appearing on his body, enveloping him like a piece of armor.

A pair of phoenix wings extended from Mu Chen’s back. As Mu Chen flapped his wings, strong gusts of wind directly tore through the space. Before this great battle, Mu Chen had calibrated the Spirit of the Real Dragon and the Phoenix to merge flawlessly with his body, thus maximizing his combat power.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen took the lead, appearing in front of the Blood Demon King instantly. Spiritual light then converged onto his fist, and as it condensed, it formed a layer of spirit crystals. This punch held immense destructive power, and even the leader of the Blood Demon Lords cowered in the face of it.

However, the Blood Demon King just looked at it condescendingly. He stretched out his white slender palm and gently slapped Mu Chen’s fist.

Bang!

The collision of their fists sounded like a collision between two metal bodies. Mu Chen looked as if he had taken a great blow as he crashed onto the ground like a fallen meteorite.

While Mu Chen distracted the Blood Demon King, the black and white Mu Chens acted simultaneously, their Spiritual Energy Palms penetrating through the space and landing heavily on the Blood Demon King’s back. Surprisingly, such a strong simultaneous blow did not even affect the Blood Demon King at all. His eyes flashed murderously, and a cruel blood ray rolled out from behind him.

Crash! Crash!

The black and white Mu Chens were flung backwards by the force of the blood ray, knocking down two mountains as they went. The combined efforts of Mu Chen and his two clones had been defeated in just a short amount of time, causing heavy injuries to them all. The Demon King was indeed unbeatable!

Standing above their heads, the Blood Demon King looked down at the crater where Mu Chen had just landed. His eyes flashed as he pointed at Mu Chen.

Boom!

A stream of blood rays shot out from his fingertips and expanded with the wind, turning into a giant red python. The python looked ferocious and brutal.

Crash!

After the giant python rushed into the deep crater, there was a muffled sound. In the next moment, with a flash of red light, the blood-red giant python was suddenly smashed into pieces!

In midair, the Blood Demon King narrowed his gaze. An overwhelming fighting spirit emanated from the crater, while thousands of figures slowly rose up from it. Mu Chen’s silhouette could be seen amongst this army of figures, which was surrounded by a massive fighting spirit. It was like an endless ocean was churning around him and the army!

“Transform into the Spirit of Fighting Intent!” Mu Chen’s deep voice rang out.

At that moment, thousands of fighters from the Mystery Dragon Army let out a loud shout in unison, and in the next moment, millions of lights from fighting spirits rose into the air, then converged into a massive Dragon Fighting Spirit!

This time, Mu Chen had deployed six thousand soldiers from the Mystery Dragon Army, which is almost the maximum that he could control. Any more, and the mystery dragon fighting spirit could backfire on him! Thus, this fighting spirit was stronger than it had ever been.

Roar!

The Dragon Fighting Spirit let out a roar, and with its waves of fighting spirit, it violently attacked the Blood Demon King. Its claws were so big, they covered the sky as they smacked down upon the Blood Demon King!

The space underneath the massive claws was closing rapidly as the Blood Demon King looked up at them and raised his palm. Blood rays converged, making his palm expand exponentially. He then hit the dragon’s claws and started grappling with the dragon.

Boom!

A violent storm raged above them, darkening the entire sky.

Roar!

As the storm continued to rage, the Dragon Fighting Spirit let out a huge roar, and its massive body was hurled outward. At the same time, the Blood Demon King’s body also trembled as he retreated a few steps.

Seeing this, Mu Chen’s pupils contracted. He never thought that the Blood Demon King would only retreat a few steps in the face of his immense fighting spirit!

“Mu Overlord, you would have to use ten thousand soldiers from the Mystery Dragon Army in order to contend with this Demon King!” Jiang Long, the Mystery Dragon Army General, said with a deep voice, while standing behind Mu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen pursed his lips. Deep down, Mu Chen knew that controlling six thousand soldiers of the Mystery Dragon Army was already the best that he could do. If he was to try to control more, the fighting spirit would turn on him.

Then, he would be defeated, without even needing the Blood Demon King to attack! The disparity of power between Mu Chen and the Demon King was obvious.

In the sky, the Blood Demon King stabilized himself and looked at Mu Chen with his bloody gaze. “You have some tricks up your sleeve. It’s no wonder that you gave the Fiend Blood Tribe a hard time. Nevertheless, no matter how many tricks you use, you can never make up for our disparities.”

Just as he stopped talking, the Blood Demon King opened his mouth and started to absorb everything that was nearby. The suction force of his energy was terrifying. It was like a black hole, tearing apart heaven and earth!

Most of the suction force was directed towards the Dragon Fighting Spirit. Thus, Mu Chen realized that resistance would be futile, as the Dragon Fighting Spirit was no match for the suction. As such, the dragon was eventually swallowed whole by the Blood Demon King.

Pshhhh!

The six thousand soldiers from the Mystery Dragon Army coughed out blood after the Dragon Fighting Spirit was swallowed. They were all badly injured.

Watching this with a dark expression, Mu Chen turned towards Jiang Long and said, “You should retreat.”

“Mu Overlord, please be careful,” said Jiang Long guiltily.

But, he was also aware that he could not offer any more help, as the Mystery Dragon Army had suffered serious injuries. So, with a wave of his hand, he led his army in a retreat.

Standing above the sky, the Blood Demon King looked down at Mu Chen indifferently as he asked, “What other tricks do you have now? Entertain me with them, then perhaps I will make your death less painful.”

Mu Chen frowned. This was the first time that he had ever battled a demon king in person. It was only now that he realized how strong a demon king truly was. Although Mu Chen had a lot of tricks, in front of this level of sovereign, he would obviously be overpowered.

“Perhaps I have no choice but to try that trick…” Mu Chen muttered quietly as he slowly closed his eyes.

The robe around his body gradually stopped moving, then adhered to his body, becoming motionless, even with the strong wind. The Blood Demon King looked at Mu Chen and smiled coldly.

He then crossed his arms, with no intention of interrupting. After all, he was certain that whatever tricks Mu Chen deployed, they would still be insufficient to overcome their gaps in power.

The sound of the wind and the rain gradually dissipated as Mu Chen closed his eyes. It was as if he was the only person on earth, standing quietly.

His inner mind was calm. He even seemed to have momentarily forgotten about the Blood Demon King’s presence entirely!

This ethereal state lasted for an indeterminate period of time before suddenly, Mu Chen sensed two small ripples. These ripples seemed to be getting more intense. Then, finally, two spiritual lights rose up slowly.

“Manifestation of the Real Spirit…” amid the silence, a low mutter rang out. Just as the voice stopped, the two spiritual lights shone brightly as two figures emerged. It was the black and white Mu Chens!

However, these were not the real manifestations of the two, but rather the two real spirits at the core of the manifestation. Back when Mu Chen had mastered the Qi into Trinity, these two real spirits had detached from his body and manifested.

In the past, Mu Chen could not sense the presence of the real spirits of his two manifestations. But, during his time at the pavilion, he was inspired by the practices that the Heavenly Emperor had left. So, although he could vaguely sense the presence of it, it was still too vague and foggy.

But, in this very moment, in the face of death, Mu Chen had finally been able to successfully summon the two real spirits!

“To fuse with the real spirits, is the… Tri-Union Level!” Mu Chen muttered as the two real spirits flew towards him, then fused with him.

In the physical world, the black and white Mu Chens materialized in front of Mu Chen, stepped forward, then walked into Mu Chen’s body. At that moment, the two manifestations disappeared.

As Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a spiritual light was swimming in his dark gaze and an indescribable power emanated from his every gesture, causing the entire world to tremble. His motionless robe also started to move at this moment, although there was no wind.

As he was standing in the sky, the Blood Demon King looked at the changed Mu Chen. He had an odd glint in his eyes, but immediately, he let out an indifferent smile and said, “Finally, some fun..”
