The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Three months finally passed.

During these three months, the atmosphere in the Great Thousand World was solemn. The reason for such an atmosphere was due to the battles that had been taking place at the borders between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race.

The Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border that were guarding the borders became the Extraterritorial Race’s targets. Several demons swirled toward them and crazily attacked the two supreme forces of the Great Thousand World. Although the attacks were unable to shake the base of the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Border, the motive of these attacks had spread across the Great Thousand World. Apparently, the Extraterritorial Race that had been lying in wait for several thousands of years had started to take action.

When all the forces in the Great Thousand World knew about it, they were shocked and became panicky. After all, the Extraterritorial Race was notorious. During the Primordial Age, they had caused massive bloodshed in the Great Thousand World, and many top powers had died. It was a catastrophe. Now that the Extraterritorial Race gone into action again, it would create massive bloodshed again, and many living things in the Great Thousand World would be destroyed.

The people in the Great Thousand World felt that a catastrophe was about to befall them, and they were afraid.

…

Tianluo Continent, at the Mu Estate Headquarters.

Outside the main hall, Mu Chen looked at the top powers of the Mu Estate, and at Mandela and Nine Nether, who were leading them. The Mu Estate had become the Overlord of Tianluo Continent, and they had won the acceptance of all the top forces. The top forces that had been eyeing Tianluo Continent gave up the idea of vying for the position, especially after they heard of Mu Chen’s performance at the Maha Ancient Clan. They knew that Mu Chen had risen in power. In terms of strength, he was top in the Great Thousand World, and with his background, it was just a matter of time before he ruled over Tianluo Continent.

This day, the leaders of the various top forces in Tianluo Continent gathered at the Mu Estate. The array was grand and overbearing.

“I will be going to the Northern Wilderness Hill, and you will guard over Tianluo Continent. Be on guard and get ready to fight,” Mu Chen said as he looked gravely at his men.

The trip to the Northern Wilderness Hill would not be smooth. The Extraterritorial Race would try all means to break the seal, thus there would be fierce fights between the two parties. No one knew how things would turn out, but as the Mu Estate Master, Mu Chen had to plan for the worst-case scenario. He reminded the top forces of the Mu Estate to be ready for war in case they were overtaken by a sudden attack of the Demons Calamity and followed in the steps of the Ancient Celestial Palace.

“Yes, my lord!” the various top powers replied with a grim look. They knew about the uproar that the Demons Calamity had created in the Great Thousand World during this period. In the face of such a calamity, no one could take it lightly. After all, any negligence could cause the entire Great Thousand World to be destroyed.

This was the struggle of mankind. All the forces had to put aside their differences in the face of the crisis. During this period, the leaders of the top forces in Tianluo Continent were glad that before the calamity came about, the Overlord of Tianluo Continent had appeared. If the Overlord of Tianluo Continent had not appeared, Tianluo Continent would have been scattered. Thus, when the Extraterritorial Race attacked the Great Thousand World, all the forces in Tianluo Continent would be easily defeated, and there would be massive bloodshed.

Mu Chen was comparable to a Divine Heavenly Sovereign at this moment. He had great combat force, and under his leadership, even if the Extraterritorial Race attacked Tianluo Continent, they should have the ability to fend them off. Thus, when the leaders of the top forces looked at Mu Chen, they were filled with fear and respect for him.

Mu Chen nodded and turned around. Mu Feng was standing behind him, and he smiled when he saw how the people respected his son. He was pleased to see that his son, who was still a greenhorn when he had left the Northern Spiritual Realm back then, had created such a good foundation for himself. Mu Chen was doing much better than he was! However, he still felt proud. Although I am not powerful, I have a son who is outstanding!

“Father, please stay at the Mu Estate during this period,” Mu Chen said as he smiled at Mu Feng. One month ago, Mu Chen had brought his father to the Mu Estate, as it was safer than the Hundred Spirit Continent. Mu Feng nodded. He knew that his son and wife would be heading for the Northern Wilderness Hill, and since he could not be of any help to them, he could at least let them not worry about him.

“Son, just go ahead and do whatever you need to. Remember to protect your mother and Luo Li. As a man, you have the responsibility to do so,” Mu Feng said with a solemn look as he patted Mu Chen on his shoulder.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. Although his father was not powerful, he was a responsible man. In the past, Mu Feng had brought up Mu Chen single-handedly and molded him to be what he was this day.

“Let’s get ready to go,” Mu Chen said as he looked at Qing Yanjing and Luo Li.

Qing Yanjing and Luo Li nodded. Spiritual light surged around the three of them, and they shot up into the sky and disappeared into thin air.

Mandela and Nine Nether watched them disappear and then looked at each other. Both of them looked grave as they knew that the trip to the Northern Wilderness Hill concerned the destiny of the entire Great Thousand World.

…

While Mu Chen and his company were setting off, several spiritual energy fluctuations in the Great Thousand World shot up into the sky as well. They darted across the sky, and the scene was majestic. The strong fluctuations headed toward the same direction, which was to the Northern Wilderness Hill.

The Great Thousand World, at the Endless Fire Territory.

The temperature was slightly high on this red continent. Volcanoes erupted occasionally, and hot magma flowed down like a river. At the center of the continent was a majestic city that was formed by a volcano chain. The city was shaped like a lotus, and it was exquisite.

A figure stood on a high platform with his hand placed behind his back, and he had a benevolent look. He was none other than the Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan. The Flame Emperor lifted up his head to look at the void outside the continent, and he saw that it was filled with space warps and Demonic Energy. He could see strong killing intent and greed emanating from the area.

“The Extraterritorial Race seems to hate us a lot,” an elder with a head of white hair said. He was standing behind the Flame Emperor, looking grave. He was Yao Chen, the Flame Emperor’s teacher.

A slender lady who was standing to the side said, “Now that the Great Thousand Alliance has started, the Extraterritorial Race is attacking us, as they want to nail Xiao Yan here.” She was in a flowery dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure, and she looked beautiful. Her eyes were bright and captivating, and she had a sweet voice. She was a rare beauty. The lady was one of the Queens of the Endless Fire Territory, Cai Lin.

Another beautiful lady who was standing beside Cai Lin said, “Since the Extraterritorial Race is attacking us, it means that they are planning to take action at the Northern Wilderness Hill.” She was dressed in green, and she looked beautiful and elegant like a fairy. She was the other Queen of the Endless Fire Territory, Xiao Xun’er.

When the Flame Emperor heard what his two wives had said, he nodded. He squinted and looked at the Demonic Energy that was surging in the void and said, “Pass down the order. Our Endless Fire Territory is on first-degree alert. All the Heavenly Sovereigns are to be on standby.” At his word, light flashed behind him, and some figures disappeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the Flame Emperor had spoken, there was a huge crack in the void, and several Demonic Shadows swirled out of it like locusts, darkening the area. At the same time, three huge Demonic Shadows stepped out of the crack, and their Demonic Power engulfed the area.

The Flame Emperor lifted up his head, looked at the three huge Demonic Shadows, and said with a smile, “Three of the 32 Main Clan Leaders are here. I wonder if the Extraterritorial Race is holding me in high regard, or if they are looking down on me!”

…

At the Martial Border.

The Martial Ancestor looked calmly at the void that had been torn apart. Several Demonic Shadows came out from the crack, and three huge Demonic Shadows stepped out of it.

Two ladies were standing behind the Martial Ancestor, and the one on his left was dressed in white. She was tall and slender, and she had a veil on her face that was unable to hide her beautiful features. Her hair was silky, and she was holding a long green sword in her hand. Her cold demeanor made her look like the Moon Goddess.

The lady on the other side had long dark blue hair, and her complexion was fair and clear. She had an aura around her that was so cold, it seemed able to freeze all the things in the world. It was this coldness that made her look youthful and maintained her looks.

The two ladies were the Queens of the Martial Border, Ling Qingzhu and Ying Huanhuan.

“I have brought the Heavenly Sovereigns from the Ice Spirit Clan over,” Ying Huanhuan’s voice was clear and cold.

The veil on Ling Qingzhu’s face moved as she spoke gently, “All the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Martial Border are prepared for war.”

When the Martial Ancestor heard them, he nodded. He stretched out his hands to hold the two ladies’ hands and said with a smile, “I never thought that we would fight side by side again against the demons.”

“Don’t worry. If things get out of hand again this time around, I will protect you.” Ling Qingzhu smiled at the Martial Ancestor as she lowered her gaze.

When the Martial Ancestor heard it, his stern face turned sour, and he pleaded, saying, “Please let me off and don’t bring the matter up again. I cannot take it anymore.”

Ling Qingzhu laughed, and Ying Huanhuan curled up her lips and snorted. “You shouldn’t have saved me back then if you are unwilling to do so.”

When Martial Ancestor heard it, he shrugged helplessly.

The three of them joked about it, and then the Martial Ancestor started to look grim. He lifted up his head to look at the three huge Demonic Shadows and stretched out his hand. When he clenched his fist, a Lightning Staff with thunderbolts circling around it appeared. His eyes looked sharp, and a horrifying fluctuation emanated from his body.

“Don’t worry. This time around, I will not let anyone hurt you on my watch…”
