The Great Ruler

Sizzling flames covered the sky, extending to the limits of one’s eyes with a terrifying temperature that boiled the Deification Pool.

At the same time, a destructive fluctuation was also spreading out.

Under the flames, even an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign would be incinerated into ashes.

Looking at the flames in the mirror, everyone around the Deification Pool had their faces drained of color with fear in their eyes. Even at such a distance, they could still vaguely sense the heat wave.

They couldn’t even imagine what temperature Mu Chen was enduring at the center of it.

Facing this attack, they really couldn’t think of how Mu Chen was going to deal with it.

Tian Huang’s face was also drained of blood and he clenched his fists in despair. It was practically impossible to resist Huang Xuanzhi’s attack.

Standing near the Deification Pool, Huang Jin lightly nodded his head at the sight of the golden flames. Mu Chen was outstanding enough that he could force Huang Xuanzhi to execute this move, but it’s a pity that he wasn’t the one laughing till the end.

Compared to his son, Mu Chen was inferior.

“I hope that that brat’s life is tough. If he’s really dead, it’ll be troublesome if his mother comes...” Huang Jin sighed.

Standing behind him, the Real Phoenix Clan’s elders nodded their heads.

While everyone was sighing, the flames lasted for half an incense’s time before they dispersed, and everyone’s gazes were directed in Mu Chen’s location.

They were instantly stunned. They saw a massive lotus quietly floating in the ocean.

The petals were closed into a bud that flickered with immortality aura. Although it was covered in burnt traces, everyone could tell that it wasn’t destroyed from the earlier flames...

“What?! It managed to endure that phoenix fire?!” Someone exclaimed.

While everyone exclaimed, the lotus radiated before opening up. When it opened, the figure of the Immortal Golden Body was revealed with Mu Chen standing with his hands behind his back without any injuries!

“How is this possible?!” Astonished voices not only came from those in the surroundings, but it also came from Haung Xuanzhi.

At this moment, Huang Xuanzhi was also looking at the lotus in shocked disbelief. He knew how terrifying that attack was, but he never expected that Mu Chen could resist it unharmed!

That purplish-golden lotus possessed an unimaginable defensive capability that managed to resist his attack.

‘How does this damnable fellow have such a powerful defensive ability?!’

“What a powerful True Phoenix Incinerating Fan.” While Huang Xuanzhi was feeling disbelief, Mu Chen’s voice resounded. He had to admit that Huang Xuanzhi’s attack was out of his expectations. If he didn’t have the Immortal Lotus, he might pay quite the price today.

“You’re truly a cockroach! No wonder you managed to cause so much trouble in the Ancient Buddha Clan.” Huang Xuanzhi’s tone was cold with a dark expression. He couldn’t accept the fact that Mu Chen was able to receive his ultimate move.

Mu Chen smiled as he balled his fists. “Since you had your turn, it’s my turn, right?”

Squinting his eyes, Huang Xuanzhi sneered, “Oh? What can you do? Indeed, I can’t kill you. But likewise, can you do anything to me?”

Mu Chen’s cards made Huang Xuanzhi feel a headache, since he now figured that he couldn’t do anything to Mu Chen today.

However, he was prideful. Even if he couldn’t do anything to Mu Chen, Mu Chen couldn’t do anything to him, either!

“Mu Chen, seeing that you’re somewhat capable, I can give you 30% of the Quasi-Saint Peak Blood Essence if you hand Nine Nether’s Undying Bird’s Bloodline to me!” Huang Xuanzhi spoke with his eyes flickering.

Upon hearing that, Mu Chen smiled. “I naturally want the Quasi-Saint Peak Blood Essence, but not 30%. I want it all! Furthermore, you’re not taking any bloodlines, either!”

“Impudent!” Huang Xuanzhi laughed from the anger. He initially wanted to lower himself to negotiate. However, Mu Chen paid no attention to him and even let out such impudent words to take 60% of the Quasi-Saint Peak Blood Essences from him.

“Then let me see if you’re capable enough to do that!” Huang Xuanzhi coldly smiled as golden lights gathered behind his head once again.

Mu Chen also did not bother talking. He let out a deep breath. At the same time, his hands joined together, and the two clones also did the same with a deep voice resounding from Mu Chen’s heart, “Three Pures - Three Combination Realm!”

Instantly, the two clones turned into streaks of light and fused with Mu Chen’s body.

When the two clones merged, Mu Chen’s black pupils burst with a radiance that seemed like two dazzling stars. His Spiritual Physique had also changed and became even more refined and pure.

At the same time, countless enraged dragons roared within his body, bringing out a terrifying might, instantly bringing Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy fluctuation up.

Even the surrounding ocean water had lifted waves from the commotion.

Huang Xuanzhi’s face changed as he looked at Mu Chen. He could sense that the Spiritual Energy fluctuation from Mu Chen had reached an astonishing degree, entering the Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm. At the same time, it’s still rising, and a few breaths later, it had reached the limit of Spirit Heavenly Sovereign Realm...

Huang Xuanzhi was shocked because it didn’t stop. It was still steadily rising before he ultimately reached the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm before his eyes.

“Damn it, how did his Spiritual Energy rise to such a terrifying degree?!” Huang Xuanzhi could no longer contain the calm in his heart as he exclaimed out.

At this moment, Mu Chen had reached the same level as him!

Slowly clenching his hand, space distorted in his palm. He felt the terrifying Spiritual eEnergy in his body with his heart trembling.

He never expected that the Three Combination Realm of the Three Pures would increase his cultivation by so much!

He had managed to use it once in the past, but he wasn’t able to fuse it as perfectly. Along with the increment of his strength, he had thoroughly grasped the Three Combination Realm.

This was the first time he had executed it after grasping it entirely. Naturally, the effects went beyond his expectations.

Raising his head, Mu Chen looked at Huang Xuanzhi and smiled. “I’m also an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm now.”

“It’s just temporary. Sooner or later, you will return to your original cultivation!” Huang Xuanzhi spoke in a grim tone. He could see that Mu Chen couldn’t maintain this for eternity. As long as he dragged the time, Mu Chen would return to his original form, sooner or later. Who knows, Mu Chen might even be weakened at that point.

“Your eyesight is pretty good.” Mu Chen nodded his head and smiled. As he flicked his fingers, causing space to tremble, he calmly said, “But it’s more than enough to deal with you.”

“You’re dreaming!” Huang Xuanzhi coldly declared.

Mu Chen smiled, then took a deep breath, and his seals changed. Instantly, a massive flow of light soared into the sky and formed into an ancient crystal pagoda.

As the pagoda revolved, it suddenly trembled before eight demonic beings came out from the pagoda under Huang Xuanzhi’s shocked gaze.

Those eight demons were ferocious, emanating a baleful aura, along with a pressure that even made Huang Xuanzhi feel fearful.

Sensing the power, Huang Xuanzhi’s face turned grave. He could tell that Mu Chen had truly been enraged and was bringing his trump card out now...

“I don’t believe that even after forcefully raising your cultivation to the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, you can defeat a genuine Immortal Heavenly Sovereign like me!” Ferocious light flickered in Huang Xuanzhi’s eyes as he continued, “I’ll see what can you do to me today!”

When he finished speaking, an ancient luster gathered that emanated a great fluctuation.

Watching this confrontation, the spectators’ eyelids twitched with grave expressions. Everyone could tell that this battle was coming to an end.
