The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Boom!

A sudden, loud explosion sounded off in the land. A huge violet sun rose with a destructive impact wave spreading out once again, making the Earth tremble. Maha You stood in the air and observed the situation from afar. A cold smile was drawn at the corner of his lips as the beautiful fireworks this time were the work of Ye Qing.

Given Maha You’s mystical teleport ability that came with the Eight Stars Spiritual Compass, the formidable golden figure could only become his weapon, just like how previously, he had repeated the old trick by teleporting the golden figure in front of Ye Qing. Despite the fact that the latter was prepared for it, there was no easy way out for him when the golden figure was already so near.

Even Mu Chen with his fast speed had also been forced to self-detonate his Immortal Golden Body. Ye Qing might be domineering, but he had had to make the same choice as Mu Chen under the golden figure’s attack.

The violet firework went off, and Ye Qing fell from the sky, covered in blood. He could not move at all as his spiritual energy was knocking against his body profusely. The energy was tearing his flesh apart, causing him to be in extreme pain. So, he could only lay in the pit and stare resentfully at Maha You, who was standing in the distance. However, Maha You was not bothered by his resentful stare. Since Mu Chen and Ye Qing were useless now, nobody could fight with him anymore.

“Now it’s my turn.” Maha You looked at the faraway golden figure with immense greed surging in his eyes. He did not care if the golden figure was the Primordial Immortal Body. The fact was that Maha You could apprehend it and devour its Immortality Sources, since its body contained a vast amount of them. By doing so, it would allow his Immortal Golden Body to upgrade to a fearsome level, even without the Primordial Immortal Body. It could become one of the most powerful Sovereign Celestial Bodies among the Primitive Celestial Bodies.

Roar!

When Maha You fixed his gaze on the golden figure, the latter was also looking over at him irritably. The previous prey eventually chose to self-detonate, leaving it empty-handed. For the last one here, it must not let him off easily. Hence, the figure suddenly beamed into a dark golden ray directed at Maha You while it flashed across the sky.

However, Maha You did not run away this time when the golden figure was flitting over. Instead, a hideous smile surfaced on his face. He raised his palm. An ancient-looking and yellowing amulet in his hand gave off an extremely daunting fluctuation on and off.

Upon closer inspection, the amulet was filled with bloody red runes. Those runes were drawn with blood essence. From the level of its daunting fluctuation, the blood runes must have been drawn using the blood of a Divine Grade Sovereign.

“Divine Rune Amulet… What a waste…” Maha You looked at the ancient amulet as a tinge of pain flashed in his eyes. The amulet was not any common item. It was made using a large amount of blood from a Divine Grade Sovereign in his clan, carving out the runes with it over dozens of years.

Not more than three such amulets could be found in the entire Maha Ancient Clan. Speaking of its mightiness, it was equivalent to the power of the Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, but it could only be used once. Hence, it was the ultimate treasure to be used strategically. However, in order to deal with the bizarre golden figure now, Maha You had no choice but to use it, even though he was reluctant.

Maha You looked up towards the golden figure that was rapidly approaching. Without any further ado, he flicked his finger, and fresh blood dripped quickly onto the ancient amulet.

Blaze!

As the blood fell onto the paper, the amulet immediately burst into flame. It turned into a ball of bizarre and bloody red fire that spun like a ball of liquid.

Maha You took a deep breath and bellowed in a deep voice, “Go!” In a flash, the ball of bloody red fire melted the air and appeared in front of the golden figure. The golden figure had always been invincible. However, when it saw the ball of fire, it felt the danger in it. Immediately, it jammed on the brakes and retreated at a fast speed.

Sst!

However, the bloody red fire was rather strange. Before the golden figure could back off, it hovered slightly and transformed into a blood-red beam as it charged in between the golden figure’s brows. The golden figure paused immediately as the dark red runes began to spread from its brow. The energy in the golden figure’s body was doing its best to resist, as it kept cutting off the spread of the dark red runes…

However, the power of the dark red runes was extraordinary. Despite strong resistance, the runes continued to spread out. Once the runes had taken over the golden figure’s entire body, it would be under Maha You’s control.

Maha You watched with gleaming eyes, and an arrogant smile surfaced at the corners of his lips. This time, he would become the ultimate winner. Mu Chen and Ye Qing would have a taste of their defeats.

…

Mu Chen sat cross-legged in front of the glass body that was exuding daunting oppression deep in the violet world. He was sweating profusely as if he were drenched from rain. Even though he was only a form of consciousness, that feeling was felt vividly by his actual body.

“How do I wake this Primordial Immortal Body from its sleep?”

While enduring the daunting oppression, Mu Chen had a bitter look as he realized he could not even touch the mysterious and ancient glass body in front of him. Currently, he was about ten feet away from the Primordial Immortal Body. If he inched further, the daunting oppression would crush him into pieces.

Getting close was out of the question, while no yelling or screaming would work. Mu Chen was out of his wits. How could he let this chance before him slip away when he had spent so much effort—including self-detonating his Immortal Golden Body—to get here?

When he thought of this, Mu Chen darkened his expression and shook his head. He would never allow such a thing to happen. He fixed his gaze on the Primordial Immortal Body soaked in the glassy light while he was running through ideas in his brain. Suddenly, an idea came to him.

“According to the Aeon Tower, there must be a strong impact to wake the Primordial Immortal Body up from its sleeping state. The legend has it that the five Primitive Celestial Bodies were formed together along with the world. Hence, they were mysterious and ancient, as they were tasked to safeguard the world. For any strong impact to be felt, it must be when the Great Thousand World was invaded…”

Radiance flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes. After a while, he suddenly took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His consciousness encompassed scenes from his memory and transmitted them to the Primordial Immortal Body that was covered in the glassy light…

Those scenes were of what Sovereign White Dragon had encountered in the Lower Planes. The Fiend Blood Tribe had enslaved millions of people and treated them like animals. Blood was squeezed dry, and people were made to be blood slaves. Killings were everywhere. As Mu Chen recapped the scenes, he constantly felt outraged.

While the scenes were transmitted into the glassy light, Mu Chen stared at the icy cold glass body without batting his eyes. Yet, the eyes of the Primordial Immortal Body remained tightly closed. Air seemed to freeze at this point in time while time slowly passed. As time went on, Mu Chen felt his hope diminishing. Not even this method could wake the Primordial Immortal Body?

“Must I really do it by force?” Disappointment flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes as he gave a bitter laugh. Just when Mu Chen had decided to change to another method, the body that had not moved for the past 1,000 years seemed to jerk slightly. The jerk was very minor, but Mu Chen sensed it as he was staring at it. Immediately, his heart skipped a beat.

Was it useful?

While Mu Chen was watching it with anticipation and delight, the vibration of the Primordial Immortal Body gradually became obvious. The glass body emitted multiple rings of light that were ancient and profound. At this time, a ring of ancient glassy light slowly took its form behind the Primordial Immortal Body’s head.

…

Sst!

As time went by, the dark red runes continued to spread over large areas of the golden figure’s body. Upon seeing this, Maha You could not control the exhilarated expression on his face. Everything was well within his expectation. Even though the golden figure might be domineering, it did not have any spiritual intelligence. Hence, it could do nothing to such corrosion taking over its body.

After more than ten minutes, the dark red runes continued to spread out until they had taken over every corner of the golden figure. At that split second, Maha You could feel the incredible connection between the golden figure and himself.

He reached out his palm, and the golden figure lowered its head. It allowed Maha You’s hand to be placed on its head, as the current obedient golden figure was like a puppet under his control.

“Hahaha!” Maha You could no longer contain himself and let out a burst of loud laughter. The legendary Primordial Immortal Body was finally his! He, Maha You, was the ultimate winner in the Aeon Tower! Mu Chen and Ye Qing would always be stepped on by him.

…

While Maha You was happily laughing at how he had gotten control of the golden figure, Mu Chen was anxiously looking at the mysterious Primordial Immortal Body’s glassy eyes. The pair of eyes that had been tightly shut for thousands of years finally blinked and opened. At that instant, Mu Chen could feel the truly immortal aura. The Primordial Immortal Body was finally awake now.
