The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar, which was emitting dazzling golden light and looked to be forged from gold, shattered the sky as it cast a massive shadow, along with shocking power. Under countless gasps of surprise, it smashed down towards the Netherworld Prince like a bolt of lightning.

Space distorted beneath the demonic pillar. Thus, the power of the Great Solar Undying Body’s Two Solar Energy could be seen.

However, facing this all-out attack from Mu Chen, there still wasn’t much ripples on the Netherworld Prince’s pale face. The Nethergod Halberd in his hand was gently raised, and, in the next moment, a chill flashed in his eyes.

He had finally made his move.

Rustle!

Everyone could see an indistinct dark light tearing through the horizon, before a metallic clash resounded. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar, which was ferociously smashing down, had frozen, as if the great force behind it had been completely cancelled out.

Countless gazes were directed in front of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Below the pillar, there was a black halberd that stopped the demonic pillar. However, compared to the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, the black halberd seemed so small that it would easily break from the pillar. But it was this halberd that stopped the massive Great Meru Demonic Pillar. Mu Chen, a dark horse who had been dashing through his way in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven like an irresistible force, finally met his match this time. Except, no one knew how long he could last.

Mu Chen stood on top of the Great Solar Undying Body as he looked at the Netherworld Prince, who held onto a halberd with a single hand and blocked the Great Meru Demonic Pillar. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as his gaze turned sharp.

He knew that this battle wouldn’t be easy.

When Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince fought, the atmosphere in another area was frozen. Although there weren’t any violent Spiritual Energies wreaking havoc, it still attracted the gazes of countless experts.

That’s because they were clear that no matter how intense the battle between Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince was, this was probably the most crucial battle. That’s because the two of them stood at the pinnacle in the current Dragon-Phoenix Haven.

Fang Yi, the first ranker on the Dragon-Phoenix Record. Amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, there wasn’t anyone that did not know about his reputation. Placed before his name, the brilliance of many geniuses were dull in comparison. Therefore, the battle between the two of them was bound to be the most crucial for the Dragon-Phoenix Inheritance.

Cai Xiao’s exquisite feet gently stood on the air as she locked onto Fang Yi with her cold and alluring gaze, with a rainbow-coloured spiritual light flickering in her hands.

Although Fang Yi’s expression was also indifferent, there was a strand of solemn deep within his eyes. Facing the mysterious Cai Xiao, even someone as confident as him did not feel that he could seize victory. But, no matter what, there wasn’t any path of retreat for him right now.

Fang Yi gently clenched his fist as the rolling Spiritual Energy surged in this region. Space undulated behind him as the vast Spiritual Energy swept out like tidal waves.

“Then, let me experience your hand.” Fang Yi gently smiled. Shortly after, he pointed his finger down at the sky. Instantly, Spiritual Energy whistled behind him as numerous huge purple swords that were roughly a few hundred feet appeared with the gushing of spiritual light. The torrential Sword Aura emitting from the huge swords looked like they could tear apart the heavens and earth.

Many experts felt their scalps numb from the sharp Sword Aura. Just a single sword could make a Fourth Grade Sovereign in a pathetic situation, with so many of them gathered together, their might would be even more shocking.

Clearly, Fang Yi knew that if he held back when facing such an opponent like Cai Xiao, he would only be seeking humiliation for himself.

Buzz!

Fang Yi gently flicked his finger, causing a sword buzzing noise to ring out from every direction in this region. The fluctuations spread out to a thousand miles away. Everyone saw the torrential swords flying over. It was like a storm that enveloped Cai Xiao from every direction.

The scene was extremely shocking.

But facing such an attack, Cai Xiao only stretched her finger out and made a swipe in the air. In an instant, a spatial crack appeared in the space before her.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The purple swords that were flying over were all devoured by the spatial crack, leaving Cai Xiao unharmed behind the spatial crack.

When many experts saw how Cai Xiao easily handled Fang Yi’s attack, they couldn’t help narrowing their eyes. Cai Xiao was truly formidable, no wonder even Fang Yi felt so fearful of her.

“Why embarrass yourself with such petty tricks?” Cai Xiao sneered as she tapped her foot. Following with the ripples in space, she had disappeared.

She was going to launch her attack.

When Cai Xiao’s figure disappeared, Fang Yi narrowed his eyes. The space around him fluctuated and he had disappeared as well.

When everyone saw how the two of them disappeared, they couldn’t help widening their eyes. This basically couldn’t be avoided, compared to a Fourth Grade Sovereign, a Fifth Grade Sovereign was truly more powerful.

Boom!

In another space a thousand feet away, violent Spiritual Energy ripples wreaked havoc. Space distorted as two figures appeared and clashed with both of their palms.

When the shock wave dissipated, their two figures jolted and were pushed back. However, Fang Yi was clearly pushed back further…

Stabilising his figure, Fang Yi frowned his brows as he made a grasping gesture. A purple longsword appeared in his hand, the Sword Aura emitting from the sword was so sharp that it could even tear space apart. Clearly, it was also a High-Rank Divine Artifact.

Rustle!

There wasn’t any hesitation as Fang Yi’s Spiritual Energy burst from his body. Space distorted as his figure disappeared, only the sharp Sword Aura remained as it soared up the horizon.

There wasn’t any shocking commotion from the confrontation between Cai Xiao and Fang Yi. On the contrary, it was abnormally quiet. The two figures instantaneously moved and appeared around the sky. Even the audience had trouble following their speed and could only exclaim in admiration.

Up in the sky, Su Biyue, Hong Yu and Ding Xuan looked at the two battles, while bitterly shaking their heads. The Dragon-Phoenix Haven this time was practically a show for them to perform and they could only watch.

“I wonder which one of them will win.” Ding Xuan spoke in a soft voice. He was fond of battle, but he did not dare to casually act in the current situation. Otherwise, he would be out of luck if he attracted the attacks of the two sides.

“We can’t determine at the moment for the fight between Cai Xiao and Fang Yi. But as for the fight between Mu Chen and the Netherworld Prince, the Netherworld Prince has obtained an absolute upper hand. But Mu Chen’s initial intention is to just obstruct the Netherworld Prince. So, strictly speaking, he has accomplished his task. Except that the Netherworld Prince might not let it go as he wishes.” Su Biyue lightly said. She was also an elite amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, so she could clearly see through the battle between the two sides.

“The moment the Nether Prince defeats Mu Chen and joins up with Fang Yi, Cai Xiao will be helpless in the face of a crisis.”

Hearing her words, Hong Yu chuckled, “Looks like Big Sister feels that the Netherworld Prince will win. But I feel that it won’t be easy for the Netherworld Prince to defeat Mu Chen…”

“Mu Chen is indeed not an easy opponent, but so is the Netherworld Prince.” Su Biyue lightly smiled. She did not side with anyone and only spoke according to what she knew.

“Really? Then let us watch.” Hong Yu smiled. Actually, how would she not know that Su Biyue was speaking facts. But due to her habit of going against Su Biyue, she wasn’t willing to side with Fang Yi.

As they spoke, the two battles had become more intense as shocking Spiritual Energy fluctuations tore apart the layers of clouds within ten thousand feet in radius and the dispersed wind was floating in the sky.

Boom!

Along with a terrifying energy, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar continued to be brandished. But no matter how ferocious the Great Meru Demonic Pillar was, it still couldn’t shake the halberd in the Netherworld Prince’s hand.

Although Mu Chen was ferociously unleashing attacks in this fight, anyone could tell that he was at a disadvantage. However, Mu Chen wasn’t anxious about it, since he knew the gap between him and the Netherworld Prince. If it wasn’t for the Great Solar Undying Body and the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, he wouldn’t be able to confront the Netherworld Prince head-on to begin with.

Furthermore, he was more than willing to see the current situation as it was. Because right from the start, his intention wasn’t to defeat the Netherworld Prince, but to fight for time for Cai Xiao.

Similar to Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince’s thoughts, Fang Yi hoped that the Netherworld Prince could swiftly defeat him so that the two of them could deal with Cai Xiao. Mu Chen was also waiting for Cai Xiao to defeat Fang Yi…

As long as there was an outcome for one of the two sides, the battles would be determined.

As time passed, the four gazes lightly flickered because they felt that it was time for there to be an outcome.

The eyes of Cai Xiao and the Netherworld Prince had turned sharp at the same time as the atmosphere around them changed.

Sensing the change in their atmosphere, Mu Chen and Fang Yi lightly narrowed their eyes as they tensed up their bodies.

“They’re going to end it!” The faces of Su Biyue and Hong Yi changed as their nerves tensed up.

The two battles actually wanted to end at the same time!
