The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The mysterious and ancient golden bone quietly laid in Mu Chen’s hands, enveloped with profound and cryptic runes that showed how extraordinary it was.

Mu Chen inspected the golden bone with great caution, revealing a thoughtful expression in his eyes. This golden bone must have a pretty good relationship with the Dragon-Phoenix Physique. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for his Dragon-Phoenix Physique to react to it.

Mu Chen touched the golden bone and attempted to pour his Spiritual Energy into it, which ended in failure. There seemed to be an energy in the golden bone that rejected every other energy from entering it.

Mu Chen’s gaze lightly flickered. If he wanted to know the secret hidden within this bone, he would have to use a source of energy that it acknowledged…

A source of energy that it acknowledged?

Mu Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he revealed a faint smile. He clenched his fist, and his nails pierced into his palms, allowing the crimson blood to flow out and drip onto the golden bone from Mu Chen’s finger.

As the blood slowly covered the golden bone, the ancient and profound runes on the bone seemed to have come to life. With a rustle, they turned into a golden light that shot into the centre of Mu Chen’s brows.

Boom!

Mu Chen’s body ferociously jolted as something similar to a volcano eruption happened in his mind. The booming sound even cause the vital energy and blood in his body to intensely turn over.

Mu Chen felt his head spinning and his sight abruptly turned dark. However, the darkness only lasted for a brief instant before it was replaced with a golden light. Looking around, he seemed to be on a golden ocean at this moment.

The golden ocean trembled with surging waves at this moment, before combining together into a myriad foot-high wave that enveloped the heavens and earth.

Mu Chen looked at the wave with his eyes narrowed. He saw a figure emitting a golden light, sitting above the huge wave. His looks couldn’t be discerned, but the pressure emanated from his body even made Mu Chen feel a great oppressive force.

That mysterious figure quietly sat on the huge wave, before suddenly unleashing a roar towards the sky. That roar was extremely abnormal, it seemed to be a dragon’s roar but at the same time, it seemed to be a phoenix’s cry that perfectly fused together. That ancient voice was filled with an extremely powerful might.

Whoosh!

A golden light burst out from the body of that mysterious figure, taking the form of a huge True Dragon and True Phoenix under Mu Chen’s astonished gaze.

Hiss!

Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of cold air as he looked at the dragon and phoenix guarding that mysterious person. Suddenly, his heart jolted and he understood that the person before him must have also refined the Dragon-Phoenix Physique as well!

In addition, the Dragon-Phoenix Physique of his was strong to the realm of turning the illusions of the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos into reality!

Although the True Dragon and Phoenix tattoos couldn’t be compared to the fighting power of a genuine True Dragon and Phoenix, they still possessed destructive powers. If they were to join together with the host, even supreme existences like the genuine True Dragon and Phoenix would have to flee.

“What a powerful Dragon-Phoenix Physique!”

Mu Chen’s blood boiled from watching the scene. Although he had only formed the initial shape of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, he was confident that he could reach the height of that mysterious expert one day.

While Mu Chen was watching with envy, that person seemed to have stood up on the huge wave. Shortly after, he waved his hand and the True Dragon and Phoenix roared as they clashed together.

A dazzling golden light burst out as Mu Chen’s face froze, bit by bit, at this moment, then replaced with dense shock. That’s because he saw that as the golden light burst out, the True Dragon and Phoenix had already disappeared, replaced with a mysterious and colossal life form.

It had the body of a dragon and was covered with dark-golden dragon scales that flickered with dazzling lustre. On its dragon body was a pair of phoenix wings that were unfolded. The size of the wings was a few tens of thousands of feet that even covered the sun when they stretched out.

The creature that looked like a dragon and phoenix stayed in the sky. The might and mystery that it gave off seemed to be the most perfect existence in the world, which would make others felt revere from it.

“This is…”

Mu Chen’s face was shaken as he muttered, “The legendary Dragonix?”

Since the primordial times, the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were the pinnacle existences that refused to accept each other. Thus, there were many great battles caused between the two clans. But in the far primordial times, there was a recorded history that the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were once united, and the one that commanded the Dragon and Phoenix Clans was a legendary Dragonix!

Only such a mysterious creature that was the combination of the two could obtain the acknowledgement of the prideful Dragon and Phoenix Clans, proclaimed to be an Emperor.

However, the chances of a Dragonix being born was too small. Through the few myriads years, there wasn’t any news regarding the Dragonix. Thus, many people were unfamiliar to it, even Mu Chen had only occasionally heard about it from Nine Nether.

But right now, the legendary Dragonix had appeared before Mu Chen.

“What a terrifying Dragon-Phoenix Physique.”

Mu Chen’s mutter practically made him feel numb, since he never thought that upon reaching the end in the cultivation of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, he could form the real True Dragon and Phoenix, not to mention about combining those two into the legendary Dragonix!

Such powerful means simply felt unbelievable.

Haaa.

Mu Chen deeply exhaled after a long while, exhaling all the shock he held in his heart. The Dragon-Phoenix Physique was extremely profound and he could also sense how tough it was to reach the height of that mysterious powerhouse.

Up in the sky, the Dragonix was swiftly dimming down, then turned into sparkles of light that descended, filling the sky. The mysterious person on the huge wave flicked his finger and the sparkles of light gathered before Mu Chen, forming into ancient words…

Mu Chen narrowed his gaze with his eyes directed over. At the summit of those ancient words, there were four ancient wordings that looked like a soaring dragon and phoenix with an endless prestige being emitted from them.

“Dragon-Phoenix Sutra!”

The golden words eventually turned into streaks of light and flew into Mu Chen’s mind. At the same time, the golden ocean had started to crumble as well. That figure on top of the ocean had also started to disappear.

However, when it disappeared, Mu Chen felt that that person had looked over in his direction. Under that gaze, Mu Chen felt even his Spirit was seen through by that person.

Before Mu Chen could reflect on that mysterious gaze, he had already opened his eyes. It was the Dragon-Phoenix Stage before him. The golden bone in his hand had already turned into golden dust that drifted along the wind.

Mu Chen gently clenched his fist and felt additional pieces of information in his mind. It should be the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.

This caused an arc to uncontrollably rise on the corner of Mu Chen’s lips. Although he had formed the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it was only at the most initial form. If he didn’t have the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra, then his Dragon-Phoenix Physique would only be slightly stronger than his Lightning God’s Physique. Wanting to reach the height of that mysterious expert was basically impossible.

But, fortunately, he did not miss out in that.

“Looks like you have quite the harvest yourself.” Cai Xiao’s laughter suddenly rang out from his rear. Directing his gaze over, he saw Cai Xiao walking up. At this point in time, the terrifying pressure had already disappeared, along with Mu Chen’s success in ascending the summit. Therefore, she was able the ascend the summit easily as well.

Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you.”

His tone was extremely sincere, since he understood that if it wasn’t for Cai Xiao’s help this time around, it would be extremely tough for him to succeed. After all, he couldn’t confront geniuses like Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince with his current strength.

Thus, Mu Chen also rejoiced that he had met Cai Xiao along the way and did not reject her following him.

Cai Xiao casually waved her hand. “We all have our own needs. Furthermore, if it wasn’t for you, I would have a little headache as well. Therefore, you did not benefit for nought.”

Mu Chen smiled. Just when he was about to speak, his face suddenly changed as a golden light suddenly spread out high above the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, forming into a huge spatial vortex.

Clearly, it was the path to exit the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.

“Looks like the Dragon-Phoenix Haven is about to end.” Cai Xiao looked at the vortex. She seemed to want to say something more but, in the end, she patted on Mu Chen’s shoulder and chuckled, “It’s a delightful cooperation this time, then.”

“Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile as well. “It’s a delightful cooperation.”

Along with the appearance of the spatial vortex, many experts no longer had a reason to stay behind, so they flew towards the spatial vortex from every direction, endlessly pouring into it.

Mu Chen did not stay here any longer, he cast a glance at this region with lamentation in his gaze before turning into a streak of light and flew out with Cai Xiao without any hesitation, diving into the spatial vortex.

Barely half a minute after entering the spatial vortex, the surrounding scenery had drastically changed. The ancient desolate feeling that enveloped the heavens and earth had disappeared and was replaced with a peaceful land.

When Mu Chen and Cai Xiao appeared, it was the Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range. At this moment, there were countless light figures that endlessly poured out of the spatial vortex like a swarm of locusts.

The entire heavens and earth were stirred.

Mu Chen and Cai Xiao stood in the sky. When those locust swarm-like group of people passed by them, they would voluntarily split up with fear filled in their gazes.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen and Cai Xiao had used their own strength to win the respect of these prideful and untamable experts.

Mu Chen looked around and intended on splitting up with Cai Xiao. However, just when he had this thought, his facial expression suddenly changed. He felt a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure spreading over.

Furthermore, that Spiritual Energy pressure was directed at him!

When the terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure enveloped over, an enraged voice filled with killing intent had rung throughout this region as well, causing many experts to have a change in their expressions.

“Little bastard, you dared to destroy the body of my son and injure his Spirit. This seat will let you die without any burial ground today!”

Mu Chen’s face drastically changed. It was Liu Tiandao, the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace that had arrived!
