The Great Ruler

As boundless demonic aura surged, a demonic being appeared on the throne. His grey pupils held no emotions. There was a terrifying demonic pressure that slowly permeated, causing the heavens and earth to turn dark and gold.

Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, many gazes looked at the Black Corpse Sky Monarch in horror. Although they had no idea who the latter was, they could tell from the terrifying pressure that this Monarch wasn’t comparable to the others...

This was a genuine demon!

“Sky Monarch...” The Northern Sea Dragon’s face was drained of color as his body trembled. He could sense that the demonic being on the throne was a genuine Sky Monarch, and he was definitely amongst the elite of the Sky Monarchs.

That was an existence comparable to a Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm!

Whether it was in the Fiend Clans or Great Thousand World, they stood at the top of the pyramid.

They never imagined that the calamity of the Northern Heavens Continent would attract such a terrifying existence.

Up in the sky, Luo Li, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jing wore grave expressions. They knew that the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s strength was comparable to the likes of Qin Tian and the Azure Sword Saint.

On the throne, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch coldly looked at the three ladies as his voice resounded, “My seven Monarchs died in your hands, and for tribute to them, I will not leave a single person living in this continent.”

All the students in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy trembled before they nearly collapsed from the killing intent. After all, the killing intent of a pinnacle Sky Monarch was too terrifying for them.

Luo Li’s gaze coldly flickered as she responded, “The great Black Corpse Sky Monarch is not fighting on the frontlines with the powerhouses of my Great Thousand World but coming here to deal with the weak ones. Aren’t you lowering your position a little too much?”

Hearing those words, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch indifferently raised his eyes. “That is war, and talking about fairness in war is laughable.”

Seeing that her words were useless, Luo Li’s eyes turned colder before the Ancient Spirit Diagram appeared in her hand, permeating with endless Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

“Since that’s the case, then we can only stop you here.” Luo Li’s voice resounded with a bone-piercing chill and without any fear.

Raising his head, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch stared at Luo Li with a ridiculing smile. “With just you?”

Luo Li responded to his words with a composed expression. “The news here has already been spread out, so we only have to hinder you and wait for reinforcements.”

The Black Corpse Sky Monarch narrowed his eyes as he coldly smiled. “I’m just afraid that you’re only a small tree and can’t even stop me for a moment!”

A torrential demonic aura swept out of the Black Corpse Sky Monarch and turned into a huge hand that descended from the sky towards Luo Li.

The enormous hand was permeated with deadly aura that would corrode and erase Spiritual Energy upon being struck by it.

Facing the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s move, even Xiao Xiao and Lin Jing’s expressions have changed since they still couldn’t confront the former with their cultivation.

Even Luo Li had to use the Saint Artifact of the Ancient Spirit Clan to face this.

Hence, Luo Li took half a step forth and the Ancient Spirit Diagram in her hand unfolded with a spiritual beam shooting out. When it rose up, it turned into a massive spiritual umbrella.

As the umbrella unfolded, ancient runes were engraved on it with boundless Spiritual Energy that would make even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign surprised.

When the hand slammed against the umbrella, a rumbling explosion resounded and a visible Spiritual Energy fluctuation rippled out a myriad mile wide.

Facing this ferocious palm, the umbrella violently fluctuated before shattering into sparkles of radiance.

Although the umbrella shattered, it managed to resist that terrifying attack from the Black Corpse Sky Monarch.

When everyone in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy saw this scene, they felt inwardly relieved. At this moment, only Luo Li could face the Black Corpse Sky Monarch, and if even she was defeated, all of them would be doomed today...

Although Luo Li managed to receive that attack from the Black Corpse Sky Monarch, her face had turned solemn. Only she knew how terrifying that attack was. Even with the Ancient Spirit Diagram, she was barely holding up.

“Not bad...” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch was also a little surprised as he smiled. However, his smile was filled with killing intent. “Since you want to protect these people, then I will kill them before your eyes.”

A cruel smile rose on the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s lips as he took a deep breath and a demonic aura surged into his nose before it was breathed out a few breaths later.

As demonic aura swept out, it turned into a black storm that rained down with deathly aura contained in every single drop.

When the storm landed on the ground, it instantly dyed the ground black with all vitality being erased. Swiftly, mountains started to dry up as they collapsed.

Luo Li’s face changed. She could feel the terror of the storm, and if it fell, even the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would be annihilated.

The Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s method was extremely ruthless.

At this moment, Luo Li did not dare to neglect and swiftly formed seals. The Ancient Spirit Diagram slowly rose to the sky and spiritual beams shot out, forming into clouds that hovered above the academy.

When the rain descended and clashed with the clouds, sizzling sounds emanated as the clouds were constantly being corroded.

This time, there wasn’t any shocking confrontation, but it was more dangerous. Everyone in the academy anxiously watched this scene. They knew that if the cloud failed, the entire academy would be littered with corpses in the next moment...

As the two forces clashed in the sky, the boundless Spiritual Energy was swiftly being exhausted.

Luo Li’s expression turned grave. She could feel the Spiritual Energy within the Ancient Spirit Diagram being swiftly exhausted. However, she did not dare to take half a step back and could only try to control the Ancient Spirit Diagram.

But anyone could tell that the Spiritual Energy from the Ancient Spirit Diagram was exhausting faster than it could replenish.

Hence, the dense clouds gradually started to grow thinner.

While indifferently looking at this scene, the smile hanging on the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s lips become even more ridiculing.

As the demonic rain descended, the clouds grew thinner and thinner.

Luo Li’s face had also turned pale as she gnashed her teeth and held on.

Within the academy, all the students had fear on their faces as their bodies trembled. Those timid students even started to sob in despair.

The Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang exchanged a glance. They could see the bitterness in each other’s eyes. The hope that they felt from Luo Li’s arrival had been instantly erased.

Facing one of the strongest Sky Monarchs, they couldn’t even rouse the desire to escape.

Standing beside Wen Qingxuan, Tang Qian’er’s face was pale as she watched the confrontation. Suddenly, a talisman appeared in her hand and she tightly grabbed onto it.

Mu Chen had once told her to crush it if she encountered any danger.

It had been a long time since she heard anything from Mu Chen, and she had no idea what was going on with him. Thus, she did not dare to use it so easily.

“The cloud is disappearing!” Someone yelled out in fear.

Up in the sky, the clouds grew thinner before they completely disappeared under everyone’s gazes of despair.

When the clouds disappeared, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch brutally looked at those gazes in despair with a smile before he waved his hand. The boundless demonic rain gathered together and formed into a hundred foot-wide black sphere of water that contained a terrifying deathly aura.

“Now, you can all die together...” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch smiled before he flicked his finger. The black sphere shot out and permeated with a deathly aura that could annihilate life in this entire continent if it spreads out.

Tang Qian’er trembled and gnashed her teeth before she tightened her fist, crushing the talisman.

With a pale expression, Luo Li looked at the black sphere and gnashed her teeth. She still insisted on not retreating. Her hand trembled while holding onto the Ancient Spirit Diagram, wanting to trigger its power once more, despite knowing that she couldn’t fight the Black Corpse Sky Monarch even while having the Ancient Spirit Diagram.

Standing at the front, her frail figure seemed extremely sad and beautiful at the same time.

Within the academy, everyone shut their eyes as they waited for their death.

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and the rest also sighed out in depression.

“Everything’s finished...” Dean Tai Cang also weakly said.

When the black sphere was about to reach the academy, it suddenly exploded and formed into a sea of death that gushed down.

At this moment, the Ancient Spirit Diagram in Luo Li’s hand also radiated with light. She wanted to put up her last bit of resistance.

But all of a sudden, Luo Li suddenly felt something and her figure trembled. She saw boundless spiritual radiance converging before her into a slender figure.

That slender figure stretched his hand out and clenched it in the direction of the ocean of death. Instantly, the entire ocean was sucked into his palm and turned into a black crystal.

Putting both of his hands out, he easily clutched the crystal and it cracked, before shattering into dust.

The destructive demonic ocean was so easily erased in his hands.

Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, everyone looked at this scene in shock. They were initially in despair, so who could’ve expected that the situation would suddenly turn around...?

As astonished gazes look at the silhouette standing before Luo Li, they were wondering about the identity of the newcomer that could handle the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s attack so easily...

“Who are you?!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch narrowed his eyes as he looked at that figure.

Under all the gazes, a burst of laughter resounded between the heavens and earth. “Black Corpse Sky Monarch, have you ever asked if I, Mu Chen, will allow you to mess with the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?!”
