The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Back in the huge karst cave, the two teams suddenly met each other face to face. Immediately, intense killing intent exploded in the karst cave, bringing down the temperature drastically. The hostile and harsh killing intent seemed to be howling in the karst cave like a violent wind.

"Hehe, enemies are fated to meet. I can't believe that you little rascals actually showed up in front of me!" Dong Shan stepped out before the other team. With a hideous expression on his face, he looked at Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li and the rest.

"How dare you be so arrogant as to escape like a dog previously?" Wen Qingxuan sneered and mocked him, without showing any mercy.

"You!" Dong Shan glared at Wen Qingxuan.

But, Wen Qingxuan ignored his stare. Her cold eyes then looked at the man beside Dong Shan. The man had a head full of flaming hair.

"Wu Tong, the working style of the Wu's is despicable as usual. Earlier, you used all sorts of means just to get the information about the relic from our side. Now, you've even sold the details of our whereabouts to other people." Wen Qingxuan sneered.

The man with flaming hair smiled. "Nothing is too deceitful in times of war. Don't blame others for stealing, especially when you cannot safeguard the information. We're rivals now, after all, so isn't it natural to play some tricks on one another?"

He paused and looked at Mu Chen and the rest of the group. Then, with a mocking smile, he asked, "Besides, didn't you look for helpers too? Even though you'll soon find out that they are useless…"

"What a boastful attitude!" Long Xiang could not stand his belittlement of Mu Chen, so he glared at the man and wanted to continue, but Mu Chen stopped him.

Mu Chen then looked at the man, who was named Wu Tong. Violent spiritual energy surged from the man, and he was a exuding strong oppression that unsettled the surrounding air. Apparently, Wu Tong was an authentic Complete Earthly Sovereign.

The two opposing teams were Dong Shan's Demon Slayers and the men from the Wu family. It appeared that the other party had two Complete Earthly Sovereigns among them.

But, the one who was really worth mentioning was the Advanced Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, Ling Xi, who was on Mu Chen's team. Also, there were two half-step Complete Earthly Sovereigns, Wen Ziyu and Long Xiang.

The opposing party clearly had a much stronger lineup at first glance. Despite knowing this, Wen Qingxuan did not look fearful. This indicated that she must have some means of her own.

Wen Qingxuan's pretty face was cold, and she did not continue to bicker with Wu Tong. Instead, she cast her gaze towards the deepest part of the karst cave.

At the end of the cave, there was a stone table. An exquisite bronze furnace that looked like a spiritual butterfly was sitting on the table. Flames seemed to be burning within the furnace.

"Mu Chen, that furnace over there was left by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy. Her inheritance lies within it. If you can get that, you can inherit her various arts of refining elixirs," Wen Qingxuan said.

"Oh?" Mu Chen was slightly surprised as he looked at that bronze furnace, but he was not covetous of it. After all, he was not interested in alchemy, nor did he have the energy to practice it.

"I want to obtain the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy's inheritance of refining elixirs," Wen Qingxuan said.

Mu Chen looked at Wen Qingxuan and asked, "Do you practice alchemy, too?"

"Hehe, Qingxuan is the best alchemist in the Wen family now. If she could obtain the inheritance of the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy, her proficiency level in the future might be on par with the Flame Emperor from the Endless Fire Territory!" Wen Ziyu spoke with pride.

Mu Chen was rather shocked. As Wen Qingxuan was not interested in alchemy in the earlier years, he had not expected that she would turn out to be such a proficient alchemist.

But, his shock did not last for long. After all, he also became a war troop dispatcher himself. Hence, it was not so unusual for Wen Qingxuan to have become an alchemist.

"If you have the need for it, the inheritance can be yours." Mu Chen nodded and smiled.

After all, no one on his side practiced alchemy. Therefore, he did not have much use for it.

Seeing that Mu Chen did not hesitate in giving up such a precious inheritance, Wen Qingxuan was somewhat moved. Wen Ziyu and the rest of the powerhouses from the Wen family looked at Mu Chen with gratitude in their eyes. After all, if it were other teams, they might have an internal argument because of the unjust distribution.

"Thank you." Wen Qingxuan thanked him softly, then said, "But, you will still not lose out, as you can take 80% of the elixirs, while we will only take 20%."

Previously, they had agreed on splitting up the resources equally. Now, Wen Qingxuan had decided to give up another 30% in order to make it up to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded as he had no objection to this compromise. Also, he knew that Wen Qingxuan was very prideful, and if he rejected this offer, she might feel uneasy about it.

"Wen Qingxuan, aren't you being too impatient in dividing the treasures as such?" At this time, Wu Tong sneered. He looked at Wen Qingxuan with an ambiguous smile.

"Given the fact that you have an Ancestral Master and two half-step Complete Sovereigns, it would be lucky for you to leave this place alive. How dare you even lay your thoughts on those babes?" Dong Shan asked ferociously.

"Impatient or not, let's fight it out! Then, we'll find out!" Wen Qingxuan said coldly.

The next moment, she suddenly made a seal with both of her hands. As she changed her seal formation, a crimson spiritual glow exploded out from her petite body.

"Bloodline Super Power, Art of Bloodline Powering-up!" she yelled.

As the spiritual glow surged, Wen Qingxuan bit the tip of her tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood immediately merged with the brightness. Instantly, many bloody beams of light shot out, piercing through the necks of Wen Ziyu and the few powerhouses who were beside him.

Boom!

At this point, a radiant spiritual light exploded from Wen Ziyu's eyes. The spiritual energy fluctuation in his body was increasing. Within a short while, he broke through the barrier and hit the Complete Earthly Sovereign!

The rest of the powerhouses from the Wen family had an exponential surge in their spiritual energies. Although they did not hit the Complete Earthly Sovereign like Wen Ziyu did, their power had increased exponentially. Specifically, this skill of Wen Qingxuan had increased the strength of the Wen family by an entire level!

Not only did the opposing Wu Tong and Dong Shan have a slight change in their expressions, but Mu Chen, Ling Xi, and Luo Li were also shocked to see this. They stared at Wen Qingxuan in amazement, as they had never thought that the latter would be armed with such an impressive skill!

"The Bloodline Super Power?" Luo Li let out a sigh.

This kind of unique Super Power was said to have been created for the use of bloodlines. Although most of it was not combat efficient, it was very useful as a supplementary power.

But, the existence of this type of Super Power was somewhat rare, as it was only effective for clan members who shared the same bloodline. Hence, this type of Super Power was considered extremely rare in the Great Thousand World as well.

"No wonder Wen Qingxuan enjoyed such a high position in the Wen family! Even Wen Ziyu had to listen to her when she was just a Lower Earthly Sovereign." Mu Chen finally understood everything now.

He also understood why Wen Qingxuan was not fearful of Wu Tong and the rest. With this powering-up skill, she could easily increase the power of the team by an entire level. If that was the case, Wen Ziyu had the strength to go against the Complete Earthly Sovereign now!

After displaying the Bloodline Super Power, Wen Qingxuan's pretty face turned pale. Apparently, this type of Super Power would cause her some damages as well.

"No wonder the elders in our clan said that, as long as the Wen family has Wen Qingxuan, she can bring raise the reputation of the Wen family in the Great Thousand World. You actually have the Bloodline Super Power with you…" Wu Tong's eyes darkened completely at this time.

There was also an intense killing intent In his eyes. Wen Qingxuan's Bloodline Super Power might not benefit her, but she could increase the entire team's combat capability with it. This would be the ultimate trump card to achieve the final victory in a large-scale battle.

"But, unfortunately, I'm afraid that this phoenix of the Wen family might have to perish in this relic!" As soon as Wu Tong finished talking, the two grey-robed figures stepped out suddenly.

The robes on their bodies were torn into pieces and ancient symbols were all over their bodies. Each symbol cut deeply into their flesh and blood, like chains had been locked onto them.

Their bloodshot eyes showed no emotions at all. Like wild beasts, they let out low groans from their throats. At the same time, the symbols on their bodies gave off bloody-red glows.

Their bodies were ballooning at a visible speed. Within a few breaths, they stood tall and firm within the enormous karst cave.

Then, like a windstorm, the fearsome spiritual energy fluctuation exploded out from their bodies. That type of spiritual energy fluctuation was also at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level!

"For this relic, I brought the top-notch warriors out. Although they might be useless after this battle, even that sacrifice is worth it as long as I get this relic." Wu Tong stared at Wen Qingxuan with his head tilted.

He then gave a ghastly smile and said, "Besides, the daughter from the Wen family will perish with them!"

Hearing this, Wen Qingxuan and Wen Ziyu changed their expressions. Their opponents were indeed formidable.

In that case, that meant that the opposing team would have four Complete Earthly Sovereigns! It seemed like the Wu family was ready to make a huge sacrifice for this relic.

"If the situation turns bad, just leave." Wen Qingxuan took a deep breath and instructed Mu Chen and Luo Li. After all, the inheritance might be precious, but it was more important that they stay alive.

Mu Chen smiled when he heard this. He stared at the two Wu warriors who were exploding with fearsome fluctuations. He then put his palms together slowly and cracked his fingers.

The next thing he said shocked Wen Qingxuan, Wen Ziyu, and the rest of the people...

"I will take care of those two Wu warriors. Qingxuan, you focus on taking the inheritance."
