The Great Ruler

As the torrential demonic aura surged throughout the world, all the lives in the Great Thousand World raised their heads in fear as they looked in the direction of the North Desolate Grave. Although they had no clue what happened, they could vaguely sense a terrifying pressure engulfing the entire Great Thousand World.

For some reason, they felt terror.

Within the North Desolate Grave

The Heavenly Sovereigns were pale as they looked at the demonic aura. Even Saint Heavenly Sovereigns like Maha Tian and Qing Yanjing wore grave, uneasy expressions.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch had truly broken free, and trying to suppress him again wasn’t going to be easy.

For the Great Thousand World, this was undoubtedly a tribulation for them.

When the Saint Sky Monarch saw the Heavenly Evil Monarch, he immediately retreated and ignored Qin Tian and company. As numerous demonic beings stood before the Heavenly Evil Monarch, they respectfully bowed down.

“We welcome the return of the Deity!” Facing the Heavenly Evil Monarch, even the Patriarchs of the various clans showed respect without any pride. On the contrary, they had fear and revere in their hearts.

Behind them was a huge spread of demonic aura as they kneeled with their bodies trembling. “We welcome the Deity!” As their voices echoed out, Qin Tian, the Azure Sword Saint, and Undying Lord’s countenances were grim with their hearts trembling.

There were a few streaks that flew over. They were the True Dragon Emperor, Real Phoenix King, Pure Phoenix King, and the other Supreme Divine Beast powerhouses.

“Qin Tian, what’s wrong with you guys? Why is the Heavenly Evil Monarch free?!” The True Dragon Emperor’s enraged voice rumbled like thunder as he stared at Qin Tian’s group of three.

Qin Tian wore a wry smiled as he replied, “This is all my fault. If it wasn’t for the Demon Heart Seed, the Fiend Clans would not have had the opportunity to break the seal.”

“True Dragon Emperor, there’s no need for us to speak. What’s important right now is to deal with the Heavenly Evil Monarch.” The Azure Sword Saint shook his head with a grave expression.

The True Dragon Emperor raised his head and looked at the Fiend Clans, then smiled. “What else can we do? You’ve no idea how terrifying that existence is! Even the Immortal Emperor had to sacrifice his life to seal him, so who can stop him in the Great Thousand World?”

Everyone fell into silence. Facing that terrifying figure, even pinnacle powerhouses like them felt powerless.

“Since that’s the case, then we can only fight to our deaths.” The Undying Lord’s face twitched as he indifferently said.

As everyone exchanged a glance, they sighed with resolution in their eyes. They had already tasted the Fiend Clans’ brutality, and if they fell in the hands of the Fiend Clans, they would be enslaved and kept as livestock. Since that’s the case, they would rather put up a fight.

Looking at the scenery outside, Mu Chen wore a grave expression with sharpness in his eyes.

Luo Li stood beside Mu Chen and her delicate face also wore a grave expression. Even she felt a hint of fear from this situation.

Sensing the emotions the lady beside him held, Mu Chen gently held onto her hand. “Don’t worry. No matter how terrible the situation is, I will keep you safe as long as I still have a breath in me.”

The warmth coming from his hand was calming. Giving a return grip to Mu Chen’s hand, her voice gently resounded, “As long as I can be together with you, I won’t be afraid, even in death.”

Looking at Luo Li, Mu Chen wore a smile and felt pride in his heart.

Despite the terror of the Heavenly Evil Monarch, would he be afraid of death when protecting the one he cares about?

Even when facing despair, Mu Chen, was never afraid.

The Heavenly Sovereigns in the North Desolate Grave became resolute. The Heavenly Evil Monarch looked at the Fiend Clans bowing down with torrential demonic aura surging around him. “Saint Demon, you’ve done well.”

The Saint Sky Monarch kneeled and looked at the Heavenly Evil Monarch with fire in his eyes. “I’ve merely followed your arrangements.”

The Heavenly Evil Monarch indifferently smiled and swept his gaze around. “Although I’ve broken out of the seal, my strength has undergone a huge drop. Is my food prepared?”

With a smile, the Saint Sky Monarch smiled. “It has been long prepared.”

Waving his hand, space tore apart and several Lower Planes appeared, filled with life.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch’s eyes flickered with brutality as he coldly smiled. With a flick of his finger, dense demonic aura charged into the Lower Planes and reduces all of the life forms into mist...

Shrieks and screams resounded despite the Planetary Boundaries.

As the Heavenly Evil Monarch drew breath, demonic aura returned and the blood was devoured by him.

As he devoured the blood, his body started to expand with terrifying demonic aura being unleashed.

In just ten-odd breaths, the demonic figure had swiftly shrunk down and a silhouette stepped out from the demonic aura.

That silhouette had attracted everyone’s attention. He wore a white robe that was engraved with stars. As his robes fluttered, he gave off an ethereal aura.

His features were extremely fine, like jade, and his pair of eyes were pitch-black without any whiteness in them. They looked like two black holes that could devour anything.

Aside from his pair of eyes, he even had three eyes on his forehead, but apart from two that were opened, the vertical one was shut.

This demon actually had five pupils!

Looking at the Heavenly Evil Monarch, Qin Tian and the rest could feel a vague fluctuation that made them felt terrified. Naturally, the Heavenly Evil Monarch had restored his power after devouring the lives from a few Lower Planes.

“Although I’ve only recovered half of my power, it should be sufficient.” The Heavenly Evil Monarch lowered his head and smiled at the powerhouses of the Great Thousand World. However, his smile was filled with brutality.

“The North Desolate Grave has sealed me for 49,000 years, and it is filled with the Immortal Emperor’s effort. Today, let me destroy it to signal my return.” The Heavenly Evil Monarch softly said.

As the vertical eye moved, a black beam suddenly shot out.

“Life-Annihilating Pupil.” The black beam swiftly expanded and flew out. It formed into a meteorite that seemed to have been created with death. Along with a deathly aura, it would destroy an entire continent if it landed.

Seeing the meteorite, everyone’s faces changed. They could sense the terrifying power coming from it.

That sort of power could even kill Saint Heavenly Sovereigns!

“Let’s go!” Qin Tian’s face drastically changed.

Without any words, the other Saint Heavenly Sovereigns roared and Spiritual Energy surged and tore the heavens and earth apart as powerful attacks flew towards the black meteorite.

With so many Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns making a move, that power was utterly shocking.

Under everyone’s nervous gazes, the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns attacks clashed with the black meteorite.

In that instant of collision, a terrifying shock wave swept out that destroyed everything within a few hundred thousand miles...

As space constantly collapsed, everyone looked at the collision with a nervous gaze.

As the shock wave gradually faded, a black beam shot out and appeared within everyone’s view.

That was the meteorite covered in the deathly aura. Even the size did not shrink. The attacks from the Saint Heavenly Sovereigns were useless against it.

Everyone within the North Desolate Grave took in a cold breath with their faces drained of all color.

Even the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns were dumbfounded. They could feel that the power within it has exceeded the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

“Is the end of our Great Thousand World here?” The Undying Lord spoke with despair written in his eyes.

“Futile effort putting up a futile struggle.” The Heavenly Evil Monarch shook his head.

“Immortal Emperor, let your corpse be destroyed along with this North Desolate Grave. Don’t worry, you’ve sealed me for 49,000 years, so I will repay that debt with the Great Thousand World.”

As the meteorite tore through space, it appeared beyond the North Desolate Grave, which even made Qin Tian and the rest helpless.

“Everyone, let’s put on a death struggle.” Qin Tian closed his eyes and his hands joined together with a resolute expression. The Spiritual Energy in his body started to explode. He intended to self-destruct to offset this attack from the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

The Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns exchanged a look and helplessly smiled. Without any words, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies started to turn rampant.

However, when the Spiritual Energy in their bodies reached the limit, space suddenly tore apart and a boundless energy came out and engulfed them.

Instantly, the rampaging Spiritual Energy within their bodies was immediately restrained.

All of them opened their eyes with shock as they saw a familiar fluctuation...

“This fluctuation...” As space tore apart, two silhouettes stood out and appeared above the North Desolate Grave.

“Emperor Flame!”

“Eight Talisman Palm!”

When they appeared, voices resounded from their throats.

Dazzling flames soared into the sky and turned into a blade, then flew across the horizon with a blazing heat that could incinerate the world.

A palm flew over that contained eight different energies that were perfectly fused together and crashed with the black meteorite at the same time as the flaming blade.

This time, space trembled from the shock wave of the three attacks and collapsed. But this time, the black meteorite violently shook and exploded under the disbelief eyes of the Fiend Clans...

The Saint Sky Monarch and company looked at the North Desolate Grave with astonishment when they saw two silhouettes standing in the void. The two silhouettes stood with their hands behind their backs and pridefully stood, as if they could support the entire sky from falling.

When everyone saw the two silhouettes, their bodies started to tremble. “That’s... the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor!”

“They’re finally here!”
