The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Buzz.

Amid the high altitude, a dark black hole dangled in the void. Its shape was somewhat illusory, and although its speed was not fast, when it fell, Mu Chen knew that he could not escape it.

At that moment, an indescribable sense of crisis surged in his heart. He instantly understand that, if he had a slight accident, he might fall here today!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to activate the Immortal Golden Body. The purple gold rays of light glimmered, and regardless of all of the cracks on the body, he was able to mobilize all of its strength. As a result, a huge Immortal Golden Lotus appeared, forming a barrier to protect him.

This was Mu Chen’s strongest defense, but it was hard to activate it twice in a row. Even though he was able to do it now, this exhaustion of energy would certainly damage the Immortal Golden Body.

However, since this was the most critical moment, he certainly could not hold back. Otherwise, all of his efforts would have been in vain!

As Mu Chen summoned his strongest defense, the black hole eventually fell, fluttering down on the Immortal Golden Lotus. At the moment of contact, endless black light burst out of the black hole and the golden lotus trembled violently.

In the next moment, the golden lotus began to disintegrate at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Even the power of the spiritual energy dissipated amid the black light.

Mu Chen’s most powerful defense was completely shattered under the influence of that black light! It was at this moment, that Mu Chen’s mind shook violently.

After his flesh had been rebuilt, for the most part, he looked up at the golden lotus, which had been eroded in just a few moments. An aura of death enveloped his heart.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have been filled with horror and despair. However, over the years, Mu Chen had experienced numerous life and death struggles. Thus, although there were fluctuations of myriad emotions in his eyes, there was no fear within them.

He pursed his lips and did not give up in the face of the dark void. Instead, he tried his best to blend himself with the Immortal Golden Body in order to resist it.

After a few minutes had passed, the golden lotus had completely disappeared. The dark hole fell again. This time, it charged towards the Immortal Golden Body and Mu Chen’s half-reshaped physical body.

Mu Chen raised his face as the Immortal Golden Body that was surrounded by purple gold light grew more powerful and mellow. From afar, it looked like a giant Buddha, sitting in the void.

As the black hole fell, its overbearing black light poured over the Immortal Golden Body, causing the purple gold rays to fade. The Immortal Golden Body was quickly turned into nothingness, starting from its head down to its feet.

Mu Chen gazed at this scene, then slowly closed his eyes. In the moment of destruction, his heart seemed to completely merge with the Immortal Golden Body, while a touch of enlightenment rose from his heart.

The dark light shrouded the Immortal Golden Body, which soon disappeared underneath it. Mu Chen’s flesh, which had been half-remade at this point, also dissipated instantly.

Amid the chaos, Mu Chen’s silhouette completely dissipated, as if it was turning into nothingness amid the Heavenly Spiritual Tribulation. Soon after Mu Chen’s had completely dissipated, the black hole also slowly dissipated.

At that moment, the whole chaotic scene was enveloped in dead silence. Such a stillness lasted for an indefinite period of time, as within the chaos, time still passed slowly, as if it was frozen.

…

Outside Mount Blood Demon.

Bai Susu and the others stared at the huge pagoda, their gazes anxious. Although Mu Chen seemed to have been practicing for decades amid the chaos, only half a day had actually passed outside.

Although only half a day had passed, they were still consumed with worry. as they could feel that the light above the pagoda had begun to dim, which meant that it would not be long before the Blood Demon Emperor would emerge. If Mu Chen did not return by then, they would be reduced to ashes with the flick of the Blood Demon Emperor’s finger!

“Don’t worry, we are now at the last step. It’s all up to fate now.” Reverend White Dragon seemed to be much calmer than the est, as he was accustomed to life and death circumstances. He also knew that, at this point, no matter how much they worried, it would be of no help. Hence, it would be better to wait quietly than to worry in vain.

When Bai Susu heard his words, she calmed down a little, then said, “The Lord will surely prevail!”

Reverend White Dragon sighed. He had practiced in the Great Thousand World for a long time, so he naturally was very clear about how difficult it was to break through to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign.

Also, there were so many fatal death traps in the ascension to become a Heavenly Sovereign. One wrong move, and one would be reduced to ashes instantly. Therefore, although he thought that Mu Chen was indeed talented, as to whether he could really break through to become a Heavenly Sovereign, it was really unknown.

…

Back amid the chaos, an indefinite amount of time had passed. The stillness pervaded the space all this time. Then, one day, there was a change. A purple and golden speck of dust was seen. Although it was weak at first, after a while, it emitted purple gold rays that shone brightly.

The rays of light spread as the grain of purple gold dust expanded in the wind. In just a few moments, it transformed into a purple golden light cocoon!

Upon the cocoon of light, ancient runes from heaven and earth seemed to be engraved. These gold patterns symbolized the meaning of immortality.

As soon as the purple golden cocoon was formed, it swallowed all of the chaos of heaven and earth. After a long time, it seemed to have reached a certain limit. At that time, a crack spread upon the purple golden cocoon.

Crack! Crack!

The crack was unstoppable, and it soon spread to every corner of the purple golden cocoon. In the next moment, the purple golden cocoon shook violently and erupted.

At that moment, an indescribable aura condensed within the chaos. As the aura formed, even the chaos of the light retreated, as if it did not dare to make contact with it.

If one looked at the scene carefully, he would see that a shadowy figure was within the endless purple gold light. After a few moments, the figure gradually became clearer.

A slender youth stood tall and was dressed in dark robes. Purple gold light surrounded him, and as the light flickered, it caused the heavens and earth to shake and the winds and clouds to surge and howl.

This figure was, of course, Mu Chen. His eyes were closed, and as they slowly opened, it seemed as if they contained the entire sky. With just a sweep of his gaze, he caused the space where he stood to be engulfed in turmoil.

He lowered his head slightly and looked at his own flesh, which was faintly illuminated with a jade light. It was truly untainted and pure to the utmost, for by this time, his body was in complete harmony, both flesh and spirit.

From now on, even if his flesh was destroyed, as long as the spiritual energy between heaven and earth remained, he would be able to regenerate his body. It was as if he was immortal!

“Is this… How being a Heavenly Sovereign feels?” Mu Chen murmured, as he now possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth with just a wave of his hand.

This power made him feel intoxicated, and it was something which he had never imagined. Such power! No wonder the Heavenly Spiritual Tribulation is so terrifying!

Mu Chen pursed his lips. If he had not merged with the Immortal Golden Body and realized the third Sovereign Super Power, he would have been dead by now!

This third Sovereign Super Power, the Immortal Change of Life and Death, was the last Super Power Art of the Immortal Golden Body. It was extremely mysterious and mystical, and the conditions for activating it were unusually harsh. Only in the face of real death was it able to be completed.

But, once this was done, even in the face of death, one could be born again and become even stronger! However, this Super Power required a great deal of courage to control. After all, not everyone possessed the courage to face life and death!

Mu Chen smiled and lamented the fact that he had suffered many times in order to accomplish this feat. But, he still was not shaken.

His blood, sweat, and tears had finally paid off. He had left the Northern Spiritual Realm as a youth, and now, he had ascended the Heavenly Gates!

Mu Chen laughed, and with a wave of his sleeve, his figure dissipated between the nothingness, and the chaos disappeared at the same time.

…

Mount Blood Demon.

Rumble!

Between heaven and earth, there was a constant roar. Each roar caused Bai Susu and countless natives to turn pale and shiver in fear. This was because the roar came from the pagoda.

At this moment, the pagoda was constantly shaking, as it had a terrible force that was raging within it. It was obvious that the pagoda was about to collapse.

Boom!

Another loud noise reverberated, and the pagoda jerked violently as it soared into the sky. The bottom of the pagoda was shattered, while a sea of blood swept out from its base. Finally, the sea of blood formed into the figure of the Blood Demon Emperor in mid-air!

As Bai Susu and the others looked at the figure of the Blood Demon Emperor, their hearts were filled with despair. However, they soon found that the Blood Demon Emperor did not care about them at all, but looked up in the air solemnly, completely ignoring them!

Bai Susu and the others were stunned, but then, they seemed to understand suddenly. They looked up to see that a chaotic light had just descended from the sky.

As the light dispersed, a familiar slender figure stepped out from it. Then, a cheerful laugh rang out, instantly calming the fear in everyone’s hearts.

“I apologize for making everyone wait…” the figure said.
