The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Whoosh!

Wind-breaking noises resounded from every direction as thousands of figures streaked across the horizon. Every single one of them had surging fluctuations of Spiritual Energy around them, which made for an extremely spectacular scene.

Awuuuu!

The group of white apes had sensed danger outside the White Bones Mountain and immediately howled, their voices filled with bloodthirsty rage.

The two massive battle formations swiftly got closer. Both sides made no stop and straightforwardly clashed against one another. In an instant, violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc in the sky.

The Spiritual Energy swept out and the white apes were constantly being slaughtered. However, due to the high amount of white apes, one replacing their fallen comrades, it had also caused casualties on the human side that was attacking the White Bones Mountain.

This region had become a meat-grinding machine and a dense stench of blood spread out.

However, although the white apes had the advantage in quantity, their intelligence was low. Thus, with so many experts joining hands together, their advantage started to get weaker and they were starting to be forced back.

Boom!

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar was waved in Mu Chen’s hand as it brought along an afterimage, smashing those approaching white apes. Shortly after, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the vaguely visible White Bones Mountain that was protected by the countless numbers of white apes.

As the excessive amount of experts launched their attacks, there were some torn cracks in the white apes’ defences.

Mu Chen turned his head and looked at his side. Cai Xiao’s figure had already disappeared at the start of the battle. However, Mu Chen was not worried about her, since her strength had far surpassed his expectations. There weren’t many in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven that could harm her.

“Almost there.”

Mu Chen looked at this chaotic patch of sky and his black pupils grew sharp, bit by bit. In the next instant, his figure had suddenly disappeared. Space a few hundred feet away distorted as a dragon figure appeared with a flash and passed through the layers of white apes and flew towards the White Bones Mountain.

When Mu Chen passed through those white apes, he had made his way towards the White Bones Mountain at the same time. There were also some powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations that appeared in other locations as over ten figures had also used various ways to pass through the white apes’ defences.

Those that were stronger clearly waited for an opportunity just as Cai Xiao had said earlier; Mu Chen wasn’t the only one trying to fish for benefits.

However, Mu Chen did not bother about those fellows that were trying to fish for benefits as well. Because after passing through the white apes’ defences, the majestic White Bones Mountain appeared before him and he charged in. He turned into a streak of light and bolted towards the peak.

Although Mu Chen was travelling at his max speed, his body was in a tensed state at all times, while circulating the Spiritual Energy in his body. Because he knew that it wouldn’t be that easy to reach the Dragon-Phoenix Pool.

Boom!

While Mu Chen was in high alert, huge cracks suddenly appeared on the white bones before him as a huge scaled claw flew out, enveloping Mu Chen with their extremely sharp claws.

Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, bringing along a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, heavily clashed with that huge scaled claw.

Boom!

Violent Spiritual Energy burst out like a storm as numerous cracks appeared on the land of bones from the shock wave. Mu Chen’s advancing figure had also taken over ten steps back.

Mu Chen stood on the air as he looked up ahead with his brows furrowed. Beneath the land of white bones, a scarlet pillar of light soared into the sky and a massive strange beast slowly appeared.

That strange beast was somewhat similar to the white apes in appearance, but his entire body was red in colour and was also extremely ferocious. It was filled with scales that reflected a cold gloss under the light of the sun.

It was a Demonic Ape that possessed the True Dragon Bloodline.

The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from its body had also left Mu Chen inwardly shocked. Dealing with this big fellow, even a Fourth Grade Sovereign might have to spend some effort to do so.

Clearly, that fellow must be one of those few dangerous Spiritual Energy fluctuations that Mu Chen had sensed.

Roar!

The red Demonic Ape ferociously stared at Mu Chen, with drool dripping from its sinister-looking mouth, and roared. The ape’s long arm grabbed a huge white-boned rod that appeared in its claw as it leapt over.

The speed of that Demonic Ape was extremely fast and the huge rod turned into afterimages that covered the sky, sweeping towards Mu Chen. In the path of the rod, even space was slightly distorted.

Space distorted behind Mu Chen and his Sovereign Sea vaguely appeared. As a vast amount of Spiritual Energy surged, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar whistled out as well.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless shadows of rods whistled as they swiftly clashed. The Spiritual Energy storm that exploded from their clash had nearly wreaked havoc in this region.

When Mu Chen and the Demonic Ape exchanged moves, there were commotions from other locations on this White Bones Mountain as well. Spiritual Energy fluctuations were soaring into the sky. Clearly, the other experts that managed to charge into the White Bones Mountain had also encountered the obstructions of powerful beasts.

Boom!

Visible Spiritual Energy shock waves exploded, while Mu Chen and the Demonic Ape were forced back. Mu Chen looked at the roaring Demonic Ape and couldn’t help frowning his brows.

Because it did not have a high intelligence, this made the Demonic Ape fearless towards death. Those crazy attacks from it even made Mu Chen feel a little fearful. If it was some other Third Grade Sovereign, they would probably be smashed into a pile of minced meat by this Demonic Ape.

But even so, Mu Chen also felt a rather big headache from being tangled by it, since he did not want to waste too much strength on these beasts that lacked intelligence.

Boom!

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar and the white-boned rod smashed against one another once again and Mu Chen’s figure leapt towards the sky. His gaze was cold as he looked at the Demonic Ape, who was roaring as it charged over. Then, his eyes swiftly turned into black voids that started spinning like black holes.

Boom! Boom!

A sharp shrieking thunderous roar rang out in the depths of the Demonic Ape’s heart without any warning. As the thunderous roar rang out, the Demonic Ape froze and lost control of its violent Spiritual Energy, while constantly trembled.

Clearly, the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was extremely effective towards these beasts that only possessed strength.

However, this Demonic Ape was indeed not easy. It abruptly issued a howling roar, hammering its fists against its chest, which seemed to produce drumming noises. When those noises entered its body, it had suppressed the thunderous roar, bit by bit.

Rustle!

However, just when the Demonic Ape was attempting to suppress the thunderous roar in its body, Mu Chen had swiftly launched his attacks. In a flash, he had already appeared above the Demonic Ape and bent two of his fingers together. Lightning flashed as a long spear, which was formed with Spiritual Energy, accurately pierced through the eyeball of the Demonic Ape.

Boom!

An eyeball of the Demonic Ape exploded as fresh blood spewed out. It was so much so that even a small portion of the face exploded.

Roar!

The intense pain made it roar in a rage. But before it could go berserk, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was already smashing over and heavily landed on its head, which seemed to be made of metal.

But this time, Mu Chen had clearly given his all and the Great Meru Demonic Pillar brought along a gale as it tore space apart. Therefore, even if the Demonic Ape’s head was made of metal, it had exploded like a watermelon at this moment.

Boom!

The Demonic Ape’s huge figure collapsed with a loud bang, which caused the earth to tremble.

Mu Chen held onto the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, before he gently placed it down. Blood flowed down from the demonic pillar. He looked at the Demonic Ape that had lost its vitality and gently breathed out a sigh in relief. Fortunately, the Nether Demon Heart Lightning could catch it off-guard. Otherwise, it would definitely be troublesome for him to deal with the Demonic Ape.

He raised his head and cast a glance at the other directions of the White Bones Mountain. Stunning Spiritual Energy fluctuations came from those locations and there were clearly huge battles in those places.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he grabbed the corpse of the Demonic Ape and his figure flew out, heading towards the peak of the Dragon-Phoenix Pool.

His journey after that was smooth as the rest of the powerful beasts must have been drawn away by the other experts, so there wasn’t any that came to obstruct him.

Under his max speed, he had already crossed the layer of clouds at the mountain peak in just a few minute’s time. He tapped his feet as he leapt out of the clouds, towards the peak of White Bones Mountain.

He stood on the air and directed his gaze up ahead, and abruptly narrowed his gaze.

Seeing the piles of white bones on the mountain peak, there were two especially massive bones at the centre. Those two bones were like ten thousand-ton rocks. They clearly did not belong to the same owner, but it wasn’t any doubt that there were terrifying pressures being emitted from those two bones. That pressure even caused the surrounding space to be frozen.

Those two ancient bones joined together, which formed a pool that was the size of roughly a hundred feet. The pool was filled with ancient runes, and as light flickered, it seemed like it possessed a powerful, breathing vitality.

A formless and bizarre energy fluctuated in the space of the pool.

Clearly, this pool was the target for all the experts that had entered the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, the Dragon-Phoenix Pool!

Mu Chen looked at the bone pool with a heated gaze. But just as he took a step forward, his gaze suddenly changed. There were two powerful surges of Spiritual Energy that soared into the sky from three other locations.

Two powerful Spiritual Energies soared up the peak, one on the left and the other on the right, sandwiching Mu Chen in between. The both of them were clearly targeting Mu Chen.

But when Mu Chen sensed one of those two powerful Spiritual Energies, his face turned a little cold, since he wasn’t a stranger to that Spiritual Energy fluctuation.

Rustle!

Up in the sky, a light figure appeared in a flash. Liu Yan appeared wearing white clothes. He was looking at Mu Chen with indifference. Shortly after, he threw out the massive beast in his hand.

“As I have said before, you cannot escape from my palm.”

Liu Yan gently patted his hands as he heedlessly spoke out with his tone filled with ridicule, similar to that of cat toying with a mouse.
