The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Scarlet flames engulfed the horizon, even the sky looked as if it was about to ignite at this moment.

Under that sea of flames, the earth-shattering amount of spear illusions shot over. A violent blaze spread out in this region, making that attack extremely astonishing.

However, when faced with such an attack, Mu Chen showed no signs of retreating. He hugged the Great Meru Demonic Pillar through space and had actually charged out instead. Boundless purple Spiritual Energy soared into the sky as he waved the pillar.

Boom! Boom!

An earth-shattering commotion exploded in the sky. Mu Chen’s figure was extremely tiny in comparison to the illusion of spears. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was waved and destroyed all those illusions.

The sea of flames spread out.

Every single time he broke a spear illusion, he would be forced a step back. However, he did not make any signs of retreating. He made a head-on clash with them and left others astonished.

Down below, Lin Jing’s mouth was widened as she watched the figure that was continually retreating, but was becoming even more vigorous under the fighting intent. Her gorgeous eyes were filled with astonishment.

That youth wasn’t that much older than her, but his elated fighting intent seemed like it could never be suppressed or erased. That feeling he gave was as if he wouldn’t retreat even with an immovable mountain before him.

The firmness of his heart left others in astonishment.

“That youth… I’m afraid that he will become a thorny figure in the future.” The middle-aged man that was watching the battle suddenly opened his mouth.

“Although I am unsure of his background, I am certain that he has depended on himself to walk this far.”

“Because those younger experts produced from the resources of the sects behind them wouldn’t have such fighting intent and guts like him.”

Hearing the judgement of that middle-aged man, Heart Fairy Fox lightly bit her alluring lips as she looked at the slender silhouette that had been continuously retreating and said in a soft voice, “His guts are pretty good. But based on that alone, it is impossible for him to defeat Liu Ming.”

“The true might of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body has yet to be unleashed.”

The middle-aged man lightly nodded his head as he spoke in pity, “If that young man had a Celestial Body of its own, even if it was an ordinary one, Liu Ming would not be able to gain any advantage today.”

Heart Fairy Fox nodded her head in agreement.

Boom!

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar heavily waved down as the dreadful energy shattered the incoming spear illusions. The impact from it made Mu Chen’s arms tremble as blood flowed down from his palms.

He strode two-steps forth as he heavily stomped his feet, stabilising his figure. Lightning twisted on the surface of his body as it violently flickered.

He had a calm expression on his face, except that his gaze was grave. After going through the clash from before, he already learnt about how powerful the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body was. If it weren’t for his Lightning God’s Physique reaching Nona Rune Lightning Physique, it would be sufficient for him to be left heavily injured by this exchange alone.

But even so, the blood and aura in his body were rolling with uncertainty.

Up in the sky, the colossal blazing figure stood, Liu Ming was looking at Mu Chen as a chill flickered in his eyes. His gaze was somewhat a little dark.

Clearly, it was out of his expectations that Mu Chen could last so long with his own strength.

“No wonder your tone was pretty big, you have some capability.” The blazing scarlet figure looked at Mu Chen as if it was looking at an ant as Liu Ming’s eerie voice resonated with a thunderous roar.

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he raised his head looking at the oppressing colossal figure and smiled, “But your Sovereign Celestial Body isn’t as fearsome as I had imagined.”

“Really?”

There was a smear of mockery in Liu Ming’s voice. He did not speak any further as he abruptly formed a seal with his hand. As the seal changed, the blazing flames that filled the sky started to gather towards his palm.

An extremely blazing ripple spread out.

“Why don’t you give it another try?!”

A chilling light shot from the eyes of the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body as it abruptly waved its palm down. In an instant, heavenly flames spread out, causing the space to distort. A flaming palm that could nearly cover half the sky suddenly shot down.

“Heavenly Flames Blazing Palm!”

As he spoke out, the earth below crumbled. Mountains were levelled, and forests turned into ashes. The power of that energy had reached the limit.

Looking at the situation, Mu Chen’s face slightly changed as he abruptly retreated. Both of his hands swiftly formed seals, and in the next instant, he shook his sleeves as the earth-shattering amount of green light shot out, turning into spiky black trees on the ground.

“Divine Wood Scripture!”

Mu Chen barked in his heart as those spiky black trees turned into endless green lights as they soared into the sky, gathering towards Mu Chen as they formed into a green ocean that was filled with vitality.

“Divine Wheel of the Heavenly Wood!”

Mu Chen’s seal changed once again as the green ocean instantly spun at high speed, turning into a colossal green wooden wheel. Mu Chen pointed his finger down as the wheel emitted a buzzing noise and disappeared, drawing long black marks on the space before him.

Tssssss!

The rotation speed of the green wooden light wheel was indescribably swift, it had already appeared beneath the flaming palm in a flash and clashed without the slightest hesitation.

There wasn’t any noise from the instant of collision. The high speed of the wheel possessed extremely dreadful penetrative ability. In the moment of contact, it had already pierced through the flaming palm and advanced towards the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

“Scram!”

A cold bark resounded from the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, the huge palm had directly shot out as it heavily clashed against the wheel with torrential flames.

Tsk! Tsk!

The deadlock made the flames of anger rise in Liu Ming’s heart. Mu Chen had blocked several of his attacks, it was a humiliation for him. His eyes were blazing with flames as black flames shrouded his body shortly after. It was like a flaming dragon as it wrapped the green wheel.

Boom!

Facing the violent attacks, the green wooden light wheel finally couldn’t hold up any longer and exploded, combusting into nothingness by the flames.

Boom!

Liu Ming did not give Mu Chen any chance to rest as he threw both of his fists out, scarlet flames swept and turned into two blazing dragons as they whistled towards Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s figure abruptly retreated again as boundless purple light shot out, an attempt to obstruct the scarlet flames. But they were combusted to like broken bamboos from the flames.

At this moment, Liu Ming had clearly thoroughly utilised the power of his Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

Boom!

The speed of the fiery dragons was remarkably swift. Mu Chen dodged a few times, but could no longer avoid them. The flaming dragons flew as they heavily clashed against his body that was covered with Spiritual Energy.

Boom!

Mu Chen looked as if he had been heavily hit as he flew down and shot deep into the ground, causing the earth to crumble.

“Aren’t you very powerful? Why don’t you try another one?”

Seeing as Mu Chen was injured by him, Liu Ming revealed a cold sneer. He looked at the crumbled earth as killing intent flashed across his eyes. He did not stop his actions as he clenched his fist, causing a long flaming spear to form and with a rustle, it pierced through space towards the crumbled earth.

Whoosh.

However, before the spear shot into the crumbled earth, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. She formed seals with her hands as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, creating a massive water shield. On the water shield, there was a vortex spinning.

“Shield of Water!”

Boom!

The flaming spear massively shot onto the water shield as it instantly caused explosions of fluctuations, but the majority of the energy was devoured by the vortex on the water shield.

When the flaming spear faded, Lin Jing’s figure jolted as the water shield exploded. Clearly, that was the limit of it.

“Oh? Another one that has yet to refine a Sovereign Celestial Body. But at this point in time, I will no longer to be tender on a beauty.” Watching the situation, Liu Ming eerily laughed as he waved his hand. Massive flaming spears formed again as they shot down.

Looking at the attack, Lin Jing clenched her teeth, but did not retreat. She inhaled a mouthful of air and opened her mouth. An azure flow of water was spat out by her and was emitting boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

The river was incredibly bizarre, as though it was formed from spiritual energies, but at the same time, some fluctuations were similar to Divine Artifact being emitted…

The azure river spiralled around Lin Jing as though it was the most perfect defence.

Boom! Boom!

Flaming spears pierced the space as it continuously hammered the river again, causing splashes of waves. Suffering the dreadful attacks, Lin Jing’s face was a little pale.

“Break!”

When the last flaming spear was devoured by the azure river, the river had dimmed down as it turned into a flow of water and returned back into Lin Jing’s mouth.

She coldly raised her head as she looked at the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body and mocked, “Is that all you got?”

“I’ll see how long you can last!”

Liu Ming sneered as killing intent surged in his eyes. Lin Jing’s means was a little out of her expectation. But as he possessed a Sovereign Celestial Body, it wasn’t something that they could contend against.

“Hmm?”

However, just when he was about to attack again, he suddenly narrowed his eyes as he shifted his gaze downwards, staring at the crumbled earth. There was an uneasy fluctuation coming from that direction.
