The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

As Mu Chen and Maha You confronted each other in the sky, their eyes were sharp and cold. Both of them were filled with an immense killing intent for each other, so much that it caused the surrounding air to freeze.

Since Mu Chen had such a strong desire to kill Maha You, as he had instigated the Ghost Emperor and the rest to besiege the Mu Estate previously in order to create trouble for Mu Chen. Hence, Mu Chen had to settle the score!

As for Maha You, aside from the fact that Mu Chen was his competitor, Mu Chen’s mother and the Maha Ancient Clan had bad blood between them. This is why Maha You would not let Mu Chen off easily. It was for these reasons that neither Mu Chen nor Maha You was prepared to give an inch as they met each other in this place.

“It might be wiser for you to back out from the Aeon Tower now,” Maha You said as he stared at Mu Chen. His black and white robe fluttered in the wind and he had a calm look on his face.

“I will do that only after I get my hands on the Primordial Immortal Body,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

“You may be dead before then!” Maha You said with a sigh.

In the next instant, a vast spiritual energy burst out from his body like a tornado and swirled around the area. Mu Chen’s gaze turned grave as he felt the spiritual energy oppression swirling toward him.

Maha You had definitely lived up to his name, being ranked number one on the List of Victory Records. The strength that he had displayed was mightier than even Shi Luo’s. This guy was already at the Peak of God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level and was ready to go for the Divine Heavenly Sovereign level!

As s vast spiritual energy raged out, Maha You’s physical body, which was glowing earlier, turned into a dazzling spiritual body. Although it looked small, it caused the entire area to quake.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in Maha You’s body shrank and condensed. Just one simple blow from him was enough to emit immense a terrifyingly destructive power. His power was comparable to the Super Power that was displayed by a master at the later stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!

As Mu Chen looked at Maha You’s powerful dazzling spiritual body, his face became grave. Without any second thought, he formed a seal with one hand, causing the black and white Mu Chens to appear.

“Tri-Union Level!” he shouted as the black and white Mu Chens merged into his body, causing the spiritual energy in his body to surge crazily.

His physical body had turned into a spiritual body, which looked as clear as a piece of glass. Clearly, his power was not to be underestimated either!

“Do you think that you can fill the gap between our strengths with the Qi into Trinity?” Maha You gave him a petrifying smile, and as he stepped forth, the space collapsed.

He then appeared out of nowhere in front of Mu Chen and threw out a punch with his dazzling fist. The punch was simple, but it crushed the entire space nevertheless. The space debris gathered around his dazzling fist, and one blow from it could crush the whole area!

Mu Chen then activated the spiritual energy in his body to the optimum, causing the Crystal Spiritual Energy to surge out like a stream. The wind blast of his fist whizzed out and blast against Maha You’s punch.

Boom!

When the fists hit each other, the sounds of metal were heard and the space around the two of them broke into pieces like glass. As the wind blasts of the fists raged on, Maha You stood still, but Mu Chen had been thrown back a great distance.

After Mu Chen regained his balance, he looked at his fist. Fine cracks appeared on them, which looked like glass. It was apparent that the cracks had been caused by the earlier blow.

“Do you realize how great the gap is between us now?” Maha You sneered, but did not give Mu Chen time to respond to him before he shot out a punch again.

Immediately, the wind blast of his fist turned into afterimages that swirled toward Mu Chen. Upon seeing this, Mu Chen’s face was grave. He quickly activated his spiritual energy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In less than 10 breaths’ time, the two of them had exchanged about 100 rounds of blows in the sky. Every time they hit each other, Mu Chen’s body would be thrown back.

When the top powers outside the Aeon Tower saw the scene, they realized that there was a great disparity between the spiritual energies of Mu Chen and Maha You, which made them comment in awe…

“Mu Chen is really silly. He knows that he is no match for Maha You in terms of spiritual body, yet he is still using it to contend with him.”

“That is right. The gap is too wide. Although Mu Chen has various means, he is no match for Maha You. Maha You is so powerful that one blow from him is enough to fend him off for 10 rounds!”

Boom!

There was another collision, which caused Mu Chen to fall down from the sky in a sorry state. When he came down, he crushed a deep hole in the ground.

Maha You stood in the air and folded his arms before his chest. He looked down coldly at the deep hole and said, “Presumptuous man! Do you think that just because you defeated Shi Luo you can contend with me?”

He sneered. “I think you have forgotten which level you belong to. You are only at the middle stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, whereas I am at the Peak of God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!”

The top powers outside the Aeon Tower all nodded. If Mu Chen had used other means to attack Maha You, he might not be at the losing end, finding himself in such a sorry state! Since he had been so badly beaten by Maha You, Mu Chen might have to end the fight at this point.

Then, all of the people saw a dim spiritual light slowly rising up from the deep hole as Mu Chen appeared. However, the light that was upon him had dimmed, and even his spiritual body showed signs of being damaged.

Everyone was surprised that, although Mu Chen was in such a sorry state, he was not devastated. On the contrary, he was smiling!

“Have my beating made you into a moron?” Maha You mocked him as he squinted his eyes.

As Mu Chen twisted his neck, the pain in his body caused his mouth to twitch. He then looked at Maha You and said with a smile, “Although you have exerted too much force upon me, I still have to thank you.”

Maha You frowned when he heard his strange words. Mu Chen’s behavior was abnormal, which alerted him that something must be amiss.

Mu Chen ignored him as he placed his hands together. At that moment, a bright light burst out from his dim spiritual body. Following that, a vast spiritual energy swirled out from Mu Chen’s body like a tidal wave.

Everyone outside the Aeon Tower looked at Mu Chen in amazement. Although they were separated by the Spiritual Energy Light Glass, they could still feel the spiritual energy that was exuding from Mu Chen’s body. It was increasing at an amazing pace!

In a short while, Mu Chen’s spiritual energy had advanced one level up!

“Later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!” As someone finally noticed it, they shouted, “He has broken through at such a critical moment!”

The top powers were shocked to see this. Many of them finally understood why Mu Chen had behaved so abnormally earlier.

One of them said, “He has used his spiritual body to contend with Maha You on purpose. He wants to tap into Maha You’s power to create an oppression to force himself into dire straits! In that way, he can have a breakthrough!”

Many of the top powers gasped. If this was true, Mu Chen was indeed decisive and ruthless. In order to have a breakthrough, he had no qualms about sacrificing his own life!

A vast spiritual energy surged and the cracks on Mu Chen’s spiritual body started to repair themselves at an astounding speed. As he felt the increase in his spiritual energy, a smile broke out on his face.

After having gone into seclusion for four months, the 10 billion drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid had turned into pure spiritual energy and filled up his body and bones. However, as their absorption was slow, Mu Chen had not been able to have a breakthrough yet.

When he had fought with Maha You earlier, the blows that Maha You had displayed were deadly. Under the external threats, the blood and flesh of Mu Chen’s body, which were in states of saturation, started to absorb the pure spiritual energy crazily. This had allowed him to have a breakthrough at the crucial moment!

The people outside the Aeon Tower were taken by surprise, whereas Maha You’s face turned pale as he looked at Mu Chen grimly. Seeing that Mu Chen had become more powerful, he realized that he had grossly underestimated him.

He had thought that Mu Chen was silly to use his spiritual body to contend with him, but he seemed to have been mistaken! Apparently, Mu Chen had used his strong oppression to force out his potential in order to cause him to have a breakthrough!

“I have underestimated you!” Maha You said as he fixed his gaze on Mu Chen and cold light surged in his eyes.

He then smiled hideously and said, “I would like to see what you can do after your breakthrough to the later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!”

Mu Chen’s face was expressionless, and he could not be bothered to talk to Maha You at the moment. At that moment, a spiritual light shot out from his head and the Crystal Pagoda stood tall in the horizon. The pagoda shook, while eight ferocious golems came out of it and hung in the air.

In the face of such a strong opponent like Maha You, Mu Chen had no intention of holding back his power. Hence, he immediately activated the Eight Budur.

After Mu Chen stepped into the later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, the power of the Eight Budur enhanced as well. Now, its lethality was greater than the 6,800 battle runes that it had possessed earlier!

The eight golems stood in the space and exuded an overbearing power. Maha You squinted his eyes when he saw them, as he felt very threatened by them.

As Mu Chen formed a seal with one hand, a vast spiritual energy light beam shot up into the sky before it allowed the eight golems to devour it.

Roar! Roar!

Thunderous roaring sounds filled the area after the eight golems devoured the vast spiritual energy. As their bodies expanded, demonic runes appeared on them. At the same time, a ferocious aura filled the entire area.

Cracks appeared on the glabellas of the eight golems, while a horrifying power gathered in their demonic eyes. Then, with a swishing sound, they shot out. After the increase in Mu Chen’s strength, the attacks of the Eight Budur began to come under his control.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the eight dark rays of light shot out from the glabellas of the eight golems, they gathered to merge together. They then formed a Death Ray that seemed to come from the netherworld, which then headed toward Maha You.

When the dark light shot out, Mu Chen shouted in a deep voice, “Eight Budur, Budur Death Ray!”
