The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Boom!

Nine Nether stood in the air as a surge of fearsome pressure enveloped out. The earth and sky seemed to have darkened by a lot, even the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth became violent.

Under that pressure, the faces of everyone changed, including the various Deans that were watching the battle from high above. The calm expressions on their faces grew heavy as their gazes had a little astonishment when they looked at that slender, long-legged girl clothed in black.

“It’s actually the Nine Netherworld Bird… this girl is indeed formidable to have completed her evolution at such a young age. This sort of talent is simply terrifying.”

“A Nine Netherworld Bird of the Fourth Grade Sovereign… truly powerful.”

“…”

The Five Great Deans were also watching this scene before them. Dean Tiansheng of the Saint Spiritual Academy had no expression on his face, but his hands that were placed on the armrest uncontrollably clenched.

Whereas Dean Tai Cang also had astonishment in his eyes, but soon changed to unrestrainable pleasant surprise as he muttered to himself, “The cards that this fellow has hidden are truly astonishing…”

When the expression of everyone in this region changed, the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, who was occupying Ji Xuan’s body at this moment, was looking at Nine Nether in shock as he spoke with a hoarse voice, “You… you’ve completed your evolution?!”

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s voice was filled with unconcealable jealousy. Shredding spirituality and forming divinity was something that every single Spiritual Beast wished for. In the path of a Spiritual Beast’s cultivation, evolution was a shortcut, even the Spiritual Beasts with the most common bloodline could evolve. Furthermore, in the Great Thousand World, there wasn’t a lack of common Spiritual Beasts that had broken through their limits through evolutions and became a well-famed existence in the Great Thousand World.

Although the Primordial Skydragon Hawk didn’t have an ordinary bloodline, it wasn’t an easy task for it to evolve. Even when Nine Nether tried to evolve, she had failed several times before being able to find that trace of opportunity to complete her evolution. The difficulty in it was something that others wouldn’t know about.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk had also attempted it, but all of it ended up in failure till now. He tried to get through the Lightning Tribulations but always ended up in terrible failure. He was nearly even reduced to ashes by the Lightning Tribulation. Fortunately, he had preparations beforehand and thus, he was able to keep his life. However, he never dared to attempt the Lightning Tribulation with lingering fear in his heart, since the Tribulation would get stronger based on the strength of the person undergoing it as well.

This was a point that no one could provide any help with, it could only be passed through by their own strength.

Thus, when the Primordial Skydragon Hawk saw Nine Nether succeeding her evolution, he had a trace of jealousy gushing from his heart. In the Nine Nether Bird clan, the latter’s age had yet to reach maturity, but the achievement that she had accomplished far surpassed his…

He could sense the pressure emitting from Nine Nether, that pressure even made him tremble a little as the pressure originated from his bloodline.

In the world of Spiritual Beasts, Divine Beasts held the highest existence.

“If I were you, I would run away immediately, as far as possible.” Nine Nether swept a glance at the Primordial Skydragon Hawk as she slowly spoke out. She was like a queen that was overlooking her subject from high above.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk had his eyes fixed on Nine Nether as his eyes continually flickered with ferocious scarlet light. Although he was continuously being suppressed by that pressure, he was an existence with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. Thus, he also possessed the pride of a dragon deep down in his bones.

Retreating without a fight was something that he could never do. Although the other party had successfully evolved, her strength was comparable to his, and if they fought, she might not be able to get any advantage from their battle. After all, in his view, Nine Nether before him was too tender, whereas he had undergone numerous battles of life and death.

“This daddy has seen all sorts of wind and waves in his life. It’s not something a little brat like you could compare to. I’m afraid a junior like you still don’t have the qualifications to make me flee from a single bark.” The Primordial Skydragon Hawk spoke without any hurry as the ferocity in his eyes became incredibly dense.

“If you want to fight here, I believe the results will not be what you want.”

Along with the eerie voice of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, purple light gushed behind him as a massive figure appeared, it was the real body of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Torrential Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc that trembled the earth and sky.

“Skydragon Roar!”

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk ferociously opened its mouth, causing the earth and sky to darken in an instant. Its huge mouth was like a wind tunnel as a dreadful ocean of Spiritual Energy swept out, turning into the roar of a dragon that resonated and shook the earth and sky.

That roar instantly turned corporeal as rolls of sound waves turned into a roaring sky dragon. The sky dragon had a powerful figure that far surpassed the size of the real body of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, and an indescribable dragon pressure spread out as it clashed against the pressure of a Divine Beast being emitted by Nine Nether.

This sound wave of sky dragon possessed the real strength of a sky dragon.

It was natural for this Primordial Skydragon Hawk to have a few cards up his sleeves, since he didn’t fear Nine Nether; also, he showed no leniency the moment he attacked, since he knew that the Nine Nether before him was already in the rankings of Divine Beasts.

It was an opponent that he could not afford to look down on in the slightest.

The entire earth and sky trembled along with the dragon roar.

The sky dragon converged as its massive figure whipped, tearing the space as it headed towards Nine Nether. Based on that commotion, even the heavens and earth seemed to have shattered.

Nine Nether’s gaze was cold as she looked at the whistling sound wave of the sky dragon. Her figure moved and reappeared on the head of the massive Nine Netherworld Bird and stomped her feet down.

A crisp and sharp cry rang out that instantly resonated between the heavens and earth. The Nine Netherworld Bird opened its mouth as a purple flaming sea swept out, engulfing everything in all directions.

Nine Nether lightly inhaled with her rosy lips and devoured the purple flames, then spat it out again.

A strand of flames that was faintly flickering with purple and gold turned into a line of fire as it shot forth.

That golden-purple flames streaked across the horizon, instantly crumbling the space and a dreadful high temperature blazed this region, even the Spiritual Energy was boiling.

“Undying flames.”

A soft roar came from Nine Nether as it resonated.

Liiii!

A long clear cry became increasingly brilliant as the golden-purple flames formed into the foot of a flaming bird, flapping its wings as it flashed, streaking across the horizon.

Under the innumerable gazes, it clashed head-to-head with the few thousand foot sky dragon image.

Before that massive image of the sky dragon, the flaming bird that was emitting golden-purple flames was as small as an ant in comparison.

However, the results of this unequalled confrontation made everyone overwhelmed with shock.

In the instant of the clash, the flaming bird turned into a ray of flame, and it was like a hot knife through butter, piercing through the defence and the massive body of the sky dragon in an instant.

Golden-Purple flames spread out from the massive image of sky dragon, those horrifying flames instantly engulfed the massive figure and madr it combust without a single remnant.

A clear and sharp cry rang out from the Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s mouth as he roared with rage, “Undying flames?!”

It was said that the undying flames were unique flames only possessed by the Primordial Undying Bird. The possessor of this flame wouldn’t die or be destroyed. It was a dream that countless experts yearned for, but the flames were extremely overbearing. If they weren’t compatible, they would ignite the entire Sovereign Sea to nothing if one were to inhale a strand of them.

The undying flames were only obtained through the evolution of Divine Beasts that possessed the purest bloodline of the Undying Bird. However, he never expected that Nine Nether would actually possess such a divine flame.

Nine Nether maintained a calm expression as she extended her slender finger and pointed down, ten golden-purple flames shot forth and overlapped. It was like a flaming hissing python as it shot towards the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, along with fluctuations that would even instilled fear to various Deans.

When the Primordial Skydragon Hawk saw it, its massive figure rapidly retreated as it flapped its wings at the same time. Many purple-coloured dragon scales flew out and formed into large dragon scale shields.

Poof!

The flaming pythons shot over as the flames shattered the dragon scale shields as if they were breaking bamboos and bombarded the massive figure of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

Boom!

Flesh and blood splattered from the massive figure of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk, falling into pieces and was combusted to nothingness as a painful dragon roar resonated.

Within that painful roar, there was a trace of terror.

Although the Nine Nether before him only possessed the strength of a Fourth Grade Sovereign, her combat ability was something that even he feared.

The Primordial Skydragon Hawk’s eyes flashed as he clenched his teeth. He was thinking of admitting defeat by controlling Ji Xuan’s body. He was smart and knew that this was a tournament. So as long as he admitted defeat, Nine Nether and Mu Chen wouldn’t dare to do anything to them.

However, just when he was about to put his thought into action, Mu Chen, who had been observing the battle, had a chilling flash in his eyes. Ji Xuan had excellent talent and was a deep schemer. In addition to the aid of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk in the dark, he would definitely have high achievements in the future. If he let go of this chance, he might leave behind a considerable seed in the future.

Letting the tiger back to the mountain was something he was unwilling to do.

Thus, Mu Chen suddenly raised his head, and his figure moved. He appeared on the body of the massive Nine Netherworld Bird and sat down with his eyes tightly shut. At the same time, the mysterious black paper in his aura sea quietly trembled.

“Nine Nether, lend me your strength again!”

Mu Chen barked in his heart, and in a flash, torrential and endless energy flowed into him.

The trembling of the mysterious black paper, which was the Immortal Page, became even more urgent as traces of purple runes quietly spread out and emitted radiant purple light.

Mu Chen’s shut eyes abruptly opened as both of his hands rapidly formed a peculiar seal, which was like a lotus flower.

Purple light exploded in an earth-shattering manner and, in the next instant, everyone saw a dark purple mandala flower, which was extremely beautiful, appear between the heavens and earth.

“Immortal Seal!”

Mu Chen’s gaze was cold as he pointed down with his finger. The enormous purple mandala flower trembled and disappeared in the next instant. When it reappeared, it was already beneath the Primordial Skydragon Hawk.

The expression of the Primordial Skydragon Hawk drastically changed as a smear of fear surged from its eyes.
