The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Skylaw Continent

As one of the famed major continents of the Great Thousand World, the wideness and flourishes of this continent far surpassed Mu Chen’s expectations. Forces were as innumerable as stars, embellishing in this area. The mix here made others sigh.

But it was because of being too complicated, there wasn’t a true Overlord in this major continent as no forces managed to achieve that. Not even a Heavenly Sovereign expert could unite the entire Skylaw Continent.

The reason was that it was just too vast, with crouching tigers and hidden dragons as well. No one knew if there would be a supreme expert hidden in the wild mountains.

Thus, major powers stood on equal grounds on the Skylaw Continent. Although there were endless conquests, there would be numerous forces being swallowed up every single day. But at the same time, there were also numerous forces emerging like blooms after the rain. Giving an endless supply of fresh blood and vitality to this major continent.

It was because of this chaos that made others feel shocked in this major continent as there would continuously be all sorts of geniuses appearing and showing their prominent moments.

…

Great Havenlaw Domain

As one of the peak forces in the Skylaw Continent, it possessed vast territory as well. The size of the territory far surpassed the Northern Heavens Continent. But in the Skylaw Continent, it could only be considered as a small region.

Thus, when Mu Chen arrived in the Skylaw Continent for the first time, he nearly went through a week of travel, passing through a dozen Teleportation Spiritual Arrays before reaching the territory near the Great Havenlaw Domain.

After that, he went through two days of journey before reaching the headquarters region of the Great Havenlaw Domain.

Greatlaw Sky

Mu Chen stood on a mountain that was tens of thousands of meters. He raised his head, looking right before him. His attractive face was filled with dense shock as what appeared before him was a floating island in the horizon.

But, rather than calling it a floating island, it was more like a small-scaled continent. Its majestic presence was astonishing.

The floating continent was enveloped by dazzling light, with many halls sitting within it. There were also endless streaks of light across the horizon. The scene was exceptionally stunning.

Even from a distance, Mu Chen could still vaguely sense the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of countless experts.

“This is the headquarters of the Great Havenlaw Domain, the Greatlaw Sky.” Nine Nether stood beside Mu Chen as she placed a hand over her eyes while having another at her waist. Her figure was slender and tall to begin with. Thus, there was an ample curve on her fair neck. Her slim waist and that pair of long legs of hers that would attract the most attention instantly formed a beautiful and alluring curve. The curve was gorgeous. It was so much so that even Mu Chen left his gaze on her for a brief moment when he casually glanced over.

“How formidable.” Mu Chen swiftly retracted his gaze before he angered Nine Nether. Shortly after, he sighed in his heart. The Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy paled in comparison to the Greatlaw Sky that was before his eyes.

The Great Havenlaw Domain was indeed as formidable as its fame.

“Let’s go. We will probably be staying here for a period of time.” Nine Nether smiled as she spoke.

Mu Chen nodded his head as well as he looked at the floating Greatlaw Sky and slowly clenched his fist. His journey in the Great Thousand World would begin in this place.

Nine Nether flew out first and directly flew towards the hovering Greatlaw Sky on the horizon, with Mu Chen closely following behind.

As they gradually got closer, the Greatlaw Sky had also started to be more distinct. Mu Chen also started to feel how vast it was. Just looking with his eyes alone, he couldn’t see an end to it. He could only see the innumerable streaks of light across the horizon.

There was a massive Spiritual Array myriad feet above the sky of the Greatlaw Sky. The Spiritual Array formed into a light screen that shrouded it, guarding the entire Greatlaw Sky within as fearsome Spiritual Energy fluctuations faintly rippled, causing space to endlessly distort.

“This is the Protection Spiritual Array. Rumour has it that not even Earth Sovereign experts could easily break through it…” Nine Nether pointed at the Spiritual Array as she spoke.

Mu Chen also nodded as he had sensed how amazing that Spiritual Array was.

Outside the Greatlaw Sky, there was a colossal door of light. It was roughly thousands of feet high with a tunnel of light behind it, linking into the Greatlaw Sky. That was the only passage into the Greatlaw Sky.

Nine Nether and Mu Chen landed before the massive light door.

“Hold your steps, the Greatlaw Sky forbids the intrusion of others. Anyone that violates this will be killed!”

As the two of them landed, a bark rang out. Hundreds of silhouettes donned in black armour held long spears as piercing light flashed in their eyes.

Killing intent quietly emitted off their bodies.

Nine Nether maintained a calm expression as she stretched out her hand. A black light flashed and landed on the captain of the black armour troop. The latter received it as the light faded away and a black plaque was revealed. On the plaque, there was a soaring blackbird with cries faintly resounding.

“Nine Nether Plaque?”

Seeing the plaque, the captain of the black armour troop was instantly startled as he immediately kneeled down to one knee. Behind him, the hundreds of warriors had also kneeled down to one knee as the tinkling of metal armour rang out crisp and clear.

“We greet Nine Nether King!”

Nine Nether made a waving gesture as the plaque flew back to her. She lightly nodded her head and passed through the light door with Mu Chen directly behind her, disappearing at the end of the passage.

Only after she left did those warriors donned in black armour stand up in an orderly fashion.

“Captain, could that lady be Nine Nether King, who has been missing for all those years?” A black-armoured warrior walked towards their captain and couldn’t help asking.

“Yeah. The Nine Nether Plaque can't be faked.”

The captain nodded his head as he looked at the direction that Nine Nether had disappeared in. “It’s said that back then, Nine Nether King was the weakest among the nine kings. However, she was from the Nine Nether Bird Clan and had the support of the Lord Sky Vulture Emperor to become one of the nine kings. But earlier, I sensed a pressure coming from her that wasn’t any weaker than the eight other kings. Looks like her Tribulation was a success.”

“But after all these years, the situation in the Nine Nether Palace has gone from bad to worst. If it weren’t for the Sky Vulture Emperor, it would have long been disbanded… right now, the Nine Nether Palace is entirely a display.” A warrior sighed.

“Yeah… even that Domain Lord that Nine Nether King of the Nine Nether Palace nurtured has gone under the Blood Hawk King, Lord Wang Zhong… Back then, Nine Nether King had rescued that fellow from the battlefield and provided him with a large amount of cultivated resources. Otherwise, he wouldn't have those achievements of his today.”

“Yeah, what an ungrateful wretch.”

“…”

The whispers of conversation were, naturally, not heard by Nine Nether and Mu Chen. After passing through the light passage, their eyes lit up as the majestic Greatlaw Sky became distinct before their eyes.

Mu Chen looked at the scene before his eyes and couldn’t help sighing.

“Where are we going first?” Mu Chen approached Nine Nether and asked.

“Let’s go to my Nine Nether Palace first, it’s my territory. It has been so many years, I wonder how they are all doing.” Nine Nether smiled as she looked at the northwest direction with reminiscence in her eyes.

“You have your own palace as well?” Mu Chen was a little astonished.

“No shit Sherlock, I’m one of the nine kings. My position in the Greatlaw Sky isn’t low.” Nine Nether rolled her eyes at Mu Chen as she spoke with high pride. “In the past, whenever you saw me, you had to act as those fellows from earlier. Otherwise, you would be offending your superiors.”

Mu Chen laughed without giving any face, “You can dream on.”

Nine Nether waved her small fist at him and couldn’t control her laughter. She no longer joked around with Mu Chen, turning towards the northwest direction and flew with Mu Chen closely following behind.

Up in the sky of the Greatlaw Sky, there were orderly streaks of light flying across from time to time. They were the patrol troops of the Greatlaw Sky to prevent any abnormalities.

Mu Chen looked at the awe-inspiring troops as he inwardly smacked his lips.

It took them roughly half an hour before Nine Nether gradually decreased her speed. Mu Chen raised his head to look ahead. He saw a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds. The mountain faintly had the shape of a large bird with its wings unfolded, covering the earth and sky.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a majestic palace.

Nine Nether looked at the palace as a smile came up on her face. Shortly after, she moved out and had directly appeared above that palace.

Before the palace was a vast training field. At this moment, there were thousands of silhouettes seated as they cultivated. Sitting at the front of those silhouettes were two girls that were quietly sitting.

One of the two girls was donned in black training clothes, while the other one had light-red clothes. The appearance of those two girls was elegant and exquisite. Furthermore, what made others dumbfounded was that the two girls actually had the same appearance, they were actually a pair of twins.

Except, among the two girls, the face of the one donned in black training clothes was a little cold, while the other one in light-red clothes looked a little gentle. They had different temperaments, even though they possessed a similar appearance. It was this fact that made others feel attracted to them.

At the very least, there were some among those i the training field that couldn’t help peeking over.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the girl in black opened her eyes with a cold and sharp light flashing across them. She abruptly raised her head and said in a solemn voice, “Who is it?”

Everyone in the training field raised their heads with their guards up as Spiritual Energies surged around them.

“Haha, Xiao Bing’er is more and more formidable now…” Tender laughter rang out in the sky as a figure slowly descended before the palace.

The girl in black was dumbfounded as she looked at the figure that had descended. The cold and sharp light that was initially in her eyes dissolved in an instant as her eyes nearly turned red.

The gentle girl before her had disbelief written on her face as she looked at the person before them. In the next instant, she had directly pounced over, her charming eyes were bright red, like a rabbit.

“Big Sister Nine Nether, you’re finally back!”

Nine Nether embraced the girl that pounced over as she looked at her reddened eyes. She felt a little sour in her nose as she rubbed her head and gently said, “Yeah, Big Sister is back…”
