The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

When the eyes of Cai Xiao and the Netherworld Prince turned sharp, the atmosphere in this region abruptly stopped flowing as a palpitating killing intent appeared in this region.

Everyone had narrowed their eyes, even Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan had grave expressions with powerful fluctuations rippling on the surface of their bodies, preventing themselves from being affected by the shock waves of the battles.

Cai Xiao stood on the air as her long hair fluttered in the wind. Her alluring eyes became cold, as if they could freeze the heavens and earth.

An indescribable dangerous aura was being emitted from her.

Likewise, she had also sensed that the Netherworld Prince’s aura had changed in Mu Chen’s battle. Similarly, the latter had also intended to execute his most powerful means to kill Mu Chen.

However, she wasn’t distracted because of it, since she knew about the bet between the two parties. Fang Yi was gambling that the Netherworld Prince could swiftly kill Mu Chen before the two of them join together to kill him. She, on the other hand, was gambling on Mu Chen obstructing the Netherworld Prince, granting her sufficient time to kill Fang Yi.

Right now, her task wasn’t to worry about Mu Chen but to deal with Fang Yi as quickly as possible, it was the biggest help that she could give Mu Chen.

“Looks like our thoughts are similar.” Fang Yi looked at Cai Xiao, whose hair was fluttering in the wind as he abruptly tensed his body. The dangerous feeling emanating from Cai Xiao made him feel a stinging pain all over his body. Therefore, his face had turned extremely solemn as well.

“But, the outcome will not be what you have thought it to be.” Cai Xiao said with indifference. The chill in her words had caused the atmosphere in this region to decrease.

“Really?” Fang Yi smiled. He had quite the courage, even when facing Cai Xiao in such a dangerous state, he still wasn’t panicking and remained calm. He did not embarrass the reputation of being the first ranker on the Dragon-Phoenix Record. Just from this point alone, his reputation as the first amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region wasn’t for nought.

“I’m just afraid that someone will not be able to last that long.”

“Really?” Cai Xiao sneered. Shortly after, she did not hesitate and formed seals with her slender hands. Instantly, the seals changed, causing blurry afterimages.

The space around her violently undulated, looking like tidal waves with splashing noises continuing to spread out. A rainbow-coloured Spiritual Energy shot out from Cai Xiao’s body. In just a few breaths’ time, it had already dyed this region. Except that under the gorgeous scene, it harboured fatal dangers.

The seven colours swiftly gathered at a stunning rate. The Spiritual Energy in this region was violently gathering together. Thereafter, everyone witnessed a rainbow vortex swiftly appearing in Cai Xiao’s palm.

The seven-coloured vortex swiftly expanded, growing to a size of a hundred feet in a few breath’s time. It was like a black hole, except that it wasn’t black in colour, but a seven-coloured rainbow. But this was what made it even more bizarre.

The seven-coloured vortex formed before Cai Xiao, causing space around it to shatter and black cracks could be seen visibly spreading out.

Everyone felt astonished by the destructive power of the seven-coloured vortex. Some experts couldn’t conceal the fear in their hearts as they swiftly retreated a distance.

Anyone could sense how terrifying that attack from Cai Xiao was.

The seven colours shined in Cai Xiao’s eyes, making her intoxicatingly beautiful. Thereafter, her cold gaze was directed at Fang Yi. In the next instant, she gently pointed her finger out and a piercing sound rang out in this region.

“Rainbow Devouring Art - Devour and Annihilation of the Heavens!”

When that cold voice came out from Cai Xiao’s mouth, Fang Yi instantly tensed his body, before the space around him swiftly distorted and he disappeared. Even his aura had completely disappeared, like a void.

Buzz!

However, there weren’t any changes to Cai Xiao’s expression when Fang Yi disappeared. The rainbow vortex jolted, then disappeared as well.

In that instant, when the rainbow vortex disappeared, the sky abruptly shattered a few thousand feet away. The space distorted as a blurry figure streaked across.

However, in that instant, when the light figure appeared, the space shattered above him and the rainbow vortex appeared. A pillar of light shone down from it, which enveloped Fang Yi.

Enveloped by the light pillar, Fang Yi’s figure swiftly froze, he even realised that the space around him had been reinforced and he couldn’t escape by tearing through space.

Furthermore, the rainbow vortex above him was constantly emitting a dreadful suction force. Under that suction force, not only was his body moving closer to the rainbow vortex, even the Spiritual Energy in his body showed signs of being extracted!

“What terrifying devouring power!”

Fang Yi’s face finally changed. This rainbow vortex was like a bone-burrowing maggot that he had no way of avoiding. Furthermore, it didn’t seem like it would stop until it devours the person enveloped by it.

Fang Yi raised his head to look at the rotating rainbow vortex. He sensed a fatal danger coming from it. If he was sucked into the rainbow vortex, even he wasn’t confident that he could escape from it alive.

He had never underestimated Cai Xiao. However, the move that the latter had displayed right now still made his heart palpitate. Just where did such a mysterious girl come from?

However, that thought only briefly flashed in his mind. Right now, he didn’t have the heart to think about that, since he had to withstand this attack from Cai Xiao. At the very least, he had to drag the time!

Until the Netherworld Prince kills Mu Chen!

Boom!

Urgency flashed in Fang Yi’s eyes. In the next moment, he abruptly formed some seals with both of his hands as a dazzling spiritual light blossomed around him. Vaguely, there were profound ripples being emitted from him.

“Sky Piercing Divine Art - Sky Piercing Divine Lotus!”

Along with Fang Yi’s roar resounding across the horizon, the spiritual light gathered beneath him, forming into a thirty foot-sized lotus. The lotus was a dark azure in colour, filled with ancient runes on the petals with a profound undulation rippling from it, leaking extremely powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

Clearly, Fang Yi had executed his best defensive move as well.

The lotus that appeared beneath Fang Yi’s feet slowly rose up, turning into a light barrier that enveloped Fang Yi within. It seemed that even if the sky shattered and earth crumbled, the lotus would not break apart.

With the appearance of the lotus, the speed of Fang Yi being pulled by the rainbow vortex slowed down. The lotus was emitting a bizarre energy that countered the devouring force of the rainbow vortex.

As the two forces clashed, space endlessly distorted.

Cai Xiao lightly frowned her brows at this sight. Fang Yi’s various means had also exceeded her expectations. Indeed, the first ranker of the Northern Region’s younger generation wasn’t a mediocre person.

But it was impossible to stop her with just this.

Cai Xiao gently lifted her hand and the rotation speed of the rainbow vortex increased, the suction force being emitted from it became even more terrifying as well. Under that devouring force, even with the protection of the lotus, Fang Yi’s figure was still slowly moving towards the rainbow vortex…

Although the speed was slow, it was something that Fang Yi couldn’t resist. If this went on, it was only a matter of time before he was devoured by the rainbow vortex. The moment he entered the rainbow vortex, no matter what means he possessed, he would probably not be able to escape from it alive.

When everyone witnessed this scene, their faces were filled with shock. Even someone as powerful as Fang Yi actually couldn’t resist the mysterious girl.

“If this goes on, Fang Yi will probably lose.” Ding Xuan couldn’t help saying as his face became filled with shock, while looking at the battle.

Su Biyue and Hong Yu nodded with solemn expressions. However, they shifted their gazes onto another battle. Likewise, the other battle had also started to emit horrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

“However, Fang Yi should be able to hold on for some time. If the Netherworld Prince manages to defeat Mu Chen before that, then he can join together with Fang Yi to turn the situation around.”

Such a thought was a common understanding of everyone. Thus, countless gazes turned towards the source of the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations. There were two people that had violently circulated the Spiritual Energies in their bodies.

The outcome of Cai Xiao and Fang Yi’s battle would be determined by the other battle.

Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince faced each other far apart in the violent Spiritual Energy windstorm. The latter had an indifferent expression, with boundless spiritual energy undulating around him, while looking at Mu Chen, who was standing on top of the Great Solar Undying Body, and muttered, “It’s about time for us to end this.”

He had sensed that Fang Yi wasn’t in a good situation, so he knew that it was time to get rid of Mu Chen.

The Netherworld Prince’s hands formed together and he slowly closed his eyes. His mouth trembled, and an ancient voice resounded.

That was like a voice from the netherworld, filled with endless eeriness that caused the temperature in this region to decrease. It was so much so that there were even snowflakes falling down. However, those snowflakes were black in colour. Furthermore, they were cold, as if they could even freeze the atmosphere.

Endless black snowflakes fell and gathered behind the Netherworld Prince. Thereafter, those snowflakes ignited, turning into strands of black flames that seemed like liquid and flowed around the Netherworld Prince.

This bizarre scene made countless experts inhale a mouthful of cold air. That’s because they sensed that even the Spiritual Energy seemed to have frozen on the places that the black flames flowed.

The Netherworld Prince raised his head, his pitch-black pupils locked onto Mu Chen. Thereafter, he pointed his finger down and the black flames behind him swept out like a fire dragon from the netherworld. With a rustle, they flew out in every direction.

At the same time, the Netherworld Prince’s indifferent voice had rang out in this region, along with an endless chill.

“Nether Divine Art - Nether God Annihilation Flames!”
