The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Boom!

There were fine tremblings from the earth, up in the sky, the colossal flaming giant that was formed by Liu Ming was looking at the crumbled earth below. Vaguely, he sensed peculiar ripples coming from the earth beneath.

“That kid still has power left?”

Liu Ming’s gaze was gloomy, his attacks earlier on should have heavily injured Mu Chen. Furthermore, there were violent Heavenly Flames in his spiritual energies, causing his attacks to be even more powerful. Earlier when it penetrated into Mu Chen’s body, it should have given him huge troubles.

But from the looks of it now…

“Are you trying to bluff?” Chill surged in Liu Ming’s eyes as he abruptly unleashed a deep howl, scarlet-red flaming spiritual energies were like lava as it spat out from his mouth and turned into multiple lava dragons.

The dragons danced in the horizon as it devoured the spiritual energies in this region and expanded in size swiftly, whistling out.

Looking at the situation, the boundless spiritual energies within Lin Jing’s body swept out as well, turning into a streak of light as it whistled in the horizon, an attempt to obstruct those dragons.

But this time, the fiery dragons did not go at her direction, it dodged her agility and swiftly hammered down at the crumbled earth.

Clearly, Liu Ming was not going to give Mu Chen any chance.

Boom!

But just when the lava was about to melt the earth, there was a black streak of light that shot out from the ground. As the black light spreads, the violent lava was being rapidly diminished.

Up in the sky, Liu Ming abruptly shrank his eyes, Lin Jing’s gorgeous eyes were also widened with shock as she watched this scene.

In the mountain far away, astonishment grew in Heart Fairy Fox’s eyes that were filled with doubts. She looked at the miserable state of the ground and spoke out softly, “There seems to be a peculiar fluctuation…”

“Those fluctuations…”

The middle-aged man beside her also had his brows furrowed, and shortly after, her gaze turned solemn, “It seems to be the fluctuations of Spiritual Arrays, what’s going on?”

Just as they were stupefied, a silhouette slowly floated up from the crumbled earth. He stood feet away off the ground and raised his head, his handsome features were filled with indifference.

It was Mu Chen.

At this moment, the clothes on his upper body had shattered as he looked a little terrible. But in his black pupils, were as serene as the abyss. He quietly looked at the scarlet figure in the sky as the dangerous light flickered in the depth of his eyes.

“What a fortunate fellow!” Liu Ming eerily laughed out when he saw Mu Chen being found.

Mu Chen looked at him, but he did not speak. He slowly raised both his hands and placed them together before his chest, forming an incredibly complicated, yet vaguely familiar seal.

“Initiate array!”

Along with that soft voice coming out from Mu Chen’s mouth, the earth violently trembled. Cracks began to spread on the ground beneath.

Within the cracks, black light violently flowed out as the ground sank downwards and mud splattered. Swiftly, a deep crater that was nearly a thousand feet in size appeared on.

The depth could not be seen as Mu Chen hovered in the sky, Liu Ming’s gaze that was looking at Mu Chen was abruptly shifted and focused in the crater. He saw three black lotuses quietly hovering.

Innumerable rays of light shot from the three black lotuses as they intertwined, forming into a colossal and complicated Spiritual Array.

Shocking fluctuations were quietly rippling out, causing the crater to be spreading out little by little.

Those three black lotuses were like primordial beasts in the darkness. Although it was quiet, it was emitting a heart-chilling aura.

“This is…” Lin Jing was a little startled as she looked at the three massive black lotuses.

“Spiritual Array?”

On the mountain far away, Heart Fairy Fox’s face changed for the first time as she stared at the massive array formed from the three lotuses. Her chest which was tugged with her arms gently heaved.

“This kid is actually a Spiritual Array Master as well!” the middle-aged man exclaimed out, there was an unconcealable shock in his voice. No wonder he sensed such peculiar fluctuations earlier on, so Mu Chen was hiding while laying out Spiritual Array!

“This Spiritual Array… Has probably reached the First Grade Human.”

Spiritual Array Master are differentiated into three human grades, representing the ninth grade Sovereign. The First Grade Human Spiritual Array Master was equivalent to the genuine First Grade Sovereign.

But clearly, First Grade Human Spiritual Array Master was too rare compared to First Grade Sovereigns. Furthermore, everyone knew that a Spiritual Array laid by a Grandmaster of the same rank were bound to be suppressed by those of the same level.

Previously, Mu Chen and made used of Liu Ming’s attack to send himself deep into the ground. But no one had expected that he would use it to hid himself and lay out a Spiritual Array underneath the ground.

“What formidable schemes and fighting conscious.” the middle-aged man couldn’t help sighing out. Compared to the youth before them, Liu Ming’s fighting conscious were similar to that of a child.

At this time, even the Heart Fairy Fox had nodded her head in agreement. Her eyes were flickering with a strange light as she stared at the silhouette of the youth that was floating above the massive crater.

“This battle has probably come to an end. Although Liu Ming has the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body, the Spiritual Array laid out by this youth definitely isn’t simple.” said the middle-aged man.

From the three lotuses Spiritual Array, he sensed extremely dangerous fluctuations. He had yet to witness a Sixth Grade Spiritual Array, but at the very least, this could make him feel fear.

As they conversed, Mu Chen raised his head in the air and looked at Lin Jing, “Lin Jing, move further away.”

The young girl nodded her head as she flew back.

Mu Chen then looked Liu Ming, with a cold smile on his face as he spoke, “Although I do not have a Sovereign Celestial Body, at the very least, I still have this.”

His slender hand pointed at the Spiritual Array, this three black lotus was the Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array. The highest level of this Spiritual Array was the four lotuses, and Mu Chen had only formed the two lotuses all along. With his bitter training, he had achieved leaps and bounds in his cultivations of Spiritual Array; he had quietly entered into the realms of Spiritual Array Grandmaster.

This wave of his was even unknown to the Nine Nether.

Flames surged in Liu Ming’s eyes, but this time, he did not ridicule. He sensed the uneasy fluctuations coming from this Spiritual Array.

He never imagined that Mu Chen would be a Spiritual Array Grandmaster!

“Damn it!”

He cursed in his heart. If he knew, he would definitely not let Mu Chen out of his sight. Furthermore, he had been careless, allowing Mu Chen to lay such a formidable Spiritual Array out.

“Next up… let me take a look at how powerful your Sovereign Celestial Body is! Let you compete with my Spiritual Array!”

Mu Chen lightly smiled as he formed seals with both his hand shortly, he unleashed a howl as it sounded out in his heart.

“Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array, activate!”

Whoosh!

Myriads of black light abruptly shot from the Spiritual Array. Within the three lotuses, lustre became deeper as though it was made from ink.

When the fluctuation in the Spiritual Array had reached the limit, the three lotuses gradually turned took substantial form as it slowly separated from the Spiritual Array.

The three black lotuses gradually hovered up as it circulates around Mu Chen. Even space was distorted at this moment.

Liu Ming’s gaze was fixed on the three black lotuses as a dense uneasiness rose in his heart. This made him felt the urge to escape but was suppressed down by him.

“I refuse to believe that you can break my Heavenly Flames Celestial Body!”

Liu Ming said coldly, he had once fought with a First Grade Human Spiritual Array Grandmaster. But he wasn’t in too much of a difficult situation. As long as he could receive this Spiritual Array, Mu Chen would definitely lose as Liu Ming wouldn’t give him any chance to lay a Spiritual Array again.

“Armour of the Heavenly Flames!”

Liu Ming’s deep roar instantly unleashed dazzling red light from the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body. In the end, it was flowing out like lava, boiling as it quietly solidified into a huge armour, seeming as if it was the most powerful armour in this world.

Facing the mysterious black lotuses Spiritual Array, Liu Ming had also utilised the strongest defence of his Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

Mu Chen’s expression was calm as he looked at Liu Ming utilising his strongest defence. His slender finger was pointing down lightly, in the location of his finger pointing down, fluctuations began to appear in the space.

“Go.”

As he pointed down, Mu Chen’s gaze abruptly grew cold, and as sharp as blades.

Whoosh!

The three lotuses abruptly trembled as it exploded forth with a buzzing noise. The three black lotuses linked together as though it was a black streak of light shuttling through the horizon. With incredible speed, it had broken through the restriction of space.

In a flash, it had already appeared before the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.

There wasn’t any pause or hesitation as it hammered over.

In the next instant.

The three black lotuses had already collided with the Heavenly Flames Celestial Body.
