The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Swoosh!

The golden figure darted across the sky at lightning speed toward Mu Chen, Ye Qing, and Tuo Ba Cang, and wherever passed, the space would collapse…

When the three of them saw the golden figure with its cold killing intent coming toward them, they turned pale and immediately retreated. The golden figure was too tricky. They had seen its horrifying combat strength earlier when it hit Maha You with its powerful blow.

Although their speed was fast, the golden figure was even faster. In the twinkle of an eye, the golden figure was before Tuo Ba Cang. Its mottled golden palm was like that of the God of Death as it struck gently toward him.

When Tuo Ba Cang saw that it was impossible for him to escape the blow, he shouted, “Immortal Golden Lotus!” and golden light surged behind him. The Immortal Golden Body appeared, and the Immortal God Runes gathered to form a Purple Golden Lotus that covered him up.

The Immortal Golden Lotus was the Immortal Golden Body’s most powerful Defense Super Power. Tuo Ba Cang had activated it, as he dared not take the golden figure lightly.

Slap!

The golden palm hit the Immortal Golden Lotus, and after a while, cracks started to spread out on the Immortal Golden Lotus, causing it to explode.

Swish!

When the Golden Lotus exploded, Tuo Ba Cang spurted out blood and shot backward. He no longer looked calm but had an astonished look on his face. He had used all his defense force, and even if Maha You had attacked him under this defense, he would not have been able to break through it. However, it was nothing in the eyes of the golden figure.

After hitting Tuo Ba Cang, the golden figure did not stop there. It pounced straight toward Ye Qing.

“Asura Realm!” When Ye Qing saw the golden figure darting toward him, light flickered in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth. The long red spear in his hands shook, and killing aura shot out. He took the offensive and waved his long spear. It turned into a sharp spear radiance and shot up into the sky, tearing it apart. Myriad rays of afterimages then swirled toward the golden figure.

Ye Qing had displayed his deadly blow.

The myriad rays of spear images were sharp. Even Maha You would not have the audacity to take the blow head on, but the golden figure could not be bothered with it. It allowed the spear images to fall on its body as fire burst out. However, the attack was unable to stop the golden figure.

The golden figure clenched its fists and threw out a punch. Golden light burst out, and the space in front of it collapsed. Golden fist rays pierced through the space and blasted on the long red spear.

Clang!

The clashing sounds of metal were heard, and Ye Qing’s body shook violently. He staggered backward, and the blood vessels on his arms burst. Blood flowed out, and the long red spear in his hands moaned indistinctly as though it had been seriously injured.

Mu Chen, who was standing behind him, turned pale when he saw that the golden figure had defeated Tuo Ba Cang and Ye Qing in an instant. He started to tense up as he sensed that the golden figure was looking ruthlessly at him now that it was done with Tuo Ba Cang and Ye Qing.

Swoosh!

The moment Mu Chen’s eyes and the golden figure’s eyes met, Mu Chen was shocked to see golden light appearing in front of him. The golden figure approached Mu Chen, its golden hand aimed at his throat. Its speed was quick beyond description.

A sharp gale whizzed toward Mu Chen. Mu Chen’s body shook, and a pair of beautiful phoenix wings appeared behind his back and spread out. He flapped the wings, and in split seconds, he was out of the area, leaving behind an afterimage.

Hiss!

The golden palm crushed the afterimage and then paused for a moment. It was shocked to find that it had failed in its attempt.

In the distance, Mu Chen broke out in a cold sweat. If he had not reacted quickly, he would have been seriously injured by the golden figure. Fortunately, with the help of the phoenix wings, his speed became the fastest among the four of them. The phoenix wings were indeed a useful tool for escape.

The change of events in the Aeon Tower happened too quickly. After Mu Chen had escaped the golden figure’s attack, the top powers outside the Aeon Tower then came back to themselves, and they burst into an uproar. They had not expected such a thing to happen and were taken aback.

Isn’t the Primordial Immortal Body searching for a master? Why did it behave as though it is out to kill the moment it was out? It seems determined to kill Mu Chen and the other three.

“Why did it turn out this way?” Qing Yanjing’s face turned pale. She could tell that the golden figure’s combat strength was extremely powerful, and Mu Chen and the other three were nothing in its eyes.

“Maha Tian, what has your Maha Ancient Clan been doing!?” Qing Yanjing asked in a sharp voice as she stared at Maha Tian.

Maha Tian had turned ghastly pale. He looked at Qing Yanjing and replied, “I have no idea what has happened. We have never seen this golden figure at the previous Aeon Congresses.” Maha Tian was puzzled. He did not know how the golden figure came about in the Aeon Tower, and he had no idea if it was the legendary Primordial Immortal Body, based on its appearance.

The elder of the Maha Ancient Clan, who was standing behind Maha You, speculated, “Could this be the way the Primordial Immortal Body chooses its master?”

Maha Tian said with a frown, “The golden figure is filled with immense killing intent, and it is ruthless. Even Maha You is no match for it. It does not seem to be choosing its master. It is slaughtering.”

The elders looked at one another and were at a loss. Once the Aeon Tower was shut, even a Divine Heavenly Sovereign was unable to barge in. They could only wait outside to see how things progressed.

While there was a commotion outside the Aeon Tower, Maha You was recuperating from his injury inside the Aeon Tower. Looking pale, he flew up into the sky and watched the golden figure from afar. He was terrified. If he had not reacted quickly earlier, the golden figure would have killed him.

Crap. What is this?! Maha You was anxious. He had taken great pains to reach the last stage, but this thing just came out all of a sudden and wanted to kill him. It seemed adamant about killing all of them.

The golden figure started to look around, and golden light surged around its body. It looked as though it was about to strike again. When Maha You saw it, he was afraid and shouted, “Gentlemen, this thing is weird, and none of us is a match for it. I suggest that we join forces to contend with it!”

After hearing what Maha You had said, Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang hesitated for a while before nodding. They realized from the earlier exchange of blows with the golden figure that its combat strength was extremely powerful. If they took it on individually, they would be no match for it.

Mu Chen pursed his lips and nodded. He felt that even if the four of them joined forces to take it on, they would still be no match for it, but there was no other way out at the moment. They simply had to give it a try.

Swoosh!

As they were still discussing, the golden figure shot out. A ray of golden light shot through the sky, carrying with it a strong oppression.

“Maha Infinite Tribulations!” Maha You turned grave and immediately activated his most powerful attack. The black and white tornado appeared again in the area.

“The Eight Budur!” Mu Chen immediately activated the Eight Budur, not daring to use less powerful means.

“The Heavenly Asura!”

“Necro Swordplay!”

Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang displayed their most powerful means as well. The sky darkened as the four of them displayed their powerful means, and several Heavenly Sovereigns were shocked by the power of their attacks. Their attacks were sharp as they shot toward the golden figure.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four powerful attacks whizzed toward the golden body, but it did not try to dodge them. It threw out four punches consecutively, and golden fist rays shot out, carrying with them the formidable Immortal Rays.

The four punches were like four Golden Great Suns, and they hit hard against the four horrifying attacks from Mu Chen and the other three.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded, and the top powers outside the Aeon Tower were shocked. The four Golden Great Suns tore up the attacks of Mu Chen and the other three. The black and white tornado and the Budur Death Ray burst when they collided with the Golden Great Suns.

There was silence outside the Aeon Tower. Many top powers were shocked speechless. Mu Chen, Maha You, and the other two had joined forces, and their power was mighty. However, they were still easily defeated by the golden figure. It was apparent that they were not on the same level as the golden figure in terms of their power.

Only a Divine Heavenly Sovereign could suppress the golden figure.

When Mu Chen, Maha You, and the other two saw what had happened, their faces turned ghastly pale. Although they had joined forces, it seemed useless. The golden figure was too tough for them to handle.

“Crap!” Maha You shouted as he lost control of himself and looked hopeless. Although the four of us joined forces, we were still unable to fend off the golden figure’s attacks. How are we to continue the fight?

Mu Chen knitted his brows. The golden figure is invincible. There is no way to fight it. Must we defeat this golden figure in order to gain acceptance from the Primordial Immortal Body? However, none of us can defeat it unless a Heavenly Sovereign steps in.

Roar!

The golden figure roared as Mu Chen was thinking. It grabbed the void with its hands and tore it apart. Purple light spots indistinctly filled the sky. The golden figure opened its mouth, and there was a great suction. It wanted to suck in the purple light spots, but they seemed to resist. However, the golden figure devoured them by force.

Mu Chen looked at the purple light spots and squinted. He noticed a familiar fluctuation from the purple light spots. Apparently, they were the Immortality Source.

The Immortality Source should be from the Aeon Tower, but why does the golden figure use this method to devour it? Mu Chen was baffled. If the golden figure is the legendary Primordial Immortal Body, the Aeon Tower should be giving the Immortality Source to it freely, and there should be no resistance against it… Unless the golden figure that we have seen… is not the genuine Primordial Immortal Body!

However, if it is not the Primordial Immortal Body, what is it then!?

Mu Chen could indistinctly sense a strong Immortal Aura from the golden figure, although it seemed a bit chaotic.

As Mu Chen was still sorting out his thoughts, after the golden figure had devoured the purple light spots, the light on its body became darker, and the power that it exuded became stronger. It slowly lifted up its head and looked at Mu Chen and the other three. Suddenly, a covetous looked appeared in its eyes, and its thoughts emanated from it.

I… want to eat you up…
