The Great Ruler

As the Immortal Golden Body exploded, it was reduced to golden sparkles in the sky and a silhouette shot out, drawing deep marks on the ground. He spat a mouthful of blood as his aura declined and laid in the crater with heavy injuries.

When that person had completely lost his fighting capability, it was sensed by the Primordial Immortal Pagoda and the space around that person distorted, then he was sent out.

When he was sent out, there was a purplish-golden beam that shot out from the centre of his brows.

A silhouette slowly descended from the sky and he grabbed onto that beam before the giant silhouette behind him devoured it.

Upon devouring the immortal aura, the Immortal Golden Body’s radiance grew more profound and more refined with a dense immortal aura that strengthened the giant further.

“The fourth immortal aura...” That silhouette was Mu Chen as he looked at his Immortal Golden Body with astonishment in his eyes. He had defeated four competitors so far, and obtained the immortal origins from them.

When the Immortal Golden Body devoured those four immortal origins, it was 20% stronger...

One shouldn’t underestimate that 20%. Mu Chen had already reached the limit in his Immortal Golden Body. Thus, it was tough for him to even enhance it, not to mention increasing it by 20% in just an incense’s time.

However, that was only the beginning. If he could continue to rob people of their immortal origins, then the strength of his Immortal Golden Body would also grow to a terrifying stage.

Just thinking about it, Mu Chen’s eyes blazed with excitement.

Suddenly, he felt a violent spatial fluctuation and his surrounding scenery started to change.

Mu Chen wasn’t shocked by this. He squinted his eyes. “Already half have been eliminated? How fast...”

Evidently, that was due to half of the cultivators of the Immortal Golden Body in the pagoda being eliminated.

If the elimination continued, he should be able to reach the layer with the Primordial Immortal Body.

As the surrounding scenery cleared up, he looked ahead and saw two silhouettes.

One of them was a Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, but Mu Chen’s attention was focused on the other person.

It was a man donned in blue robes with sharp eyes. With just a glance, Mu Chen could tell that this person wasn’t straightforward. He had reached the Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, judging by the Spiritual Energy fluctuation around him.

When Mu Chen looked at the blue-robed man, the latter was also looking at him. When he saw Mu Chen, he was briefly stunned before he smiled. “I never expected to encounter the famous Mu Abode’s Ruler here.”

“You are?” Mu Chen asked without any ripples on his face.

“I am Qin Donghai, an insignificant person. But I’m ranked sixth, just beneath you.” The blue-robed man fearlessly stared at Mu Chen and even wore judgmental eyes.

“Oh.” Mu Chen nodded his head with a calm expression.

When the Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign saw the two of them, he silently retreated before he ran.

Mu Chen only cast a glance at him but did not pursue since he could sense that Qin Donghai had locked onto him.

“You want to fight me?” Mu Chen asked.

“I want to test how capable you are to rank before me.” Qin Donghai casually replied before he smiled. “Why? Can it be that you’re afraid?”

“I’m just afraid that you will run. After all, it’s not easy to encounter a big fish.” Mu Chen smiled in reply.

In his perception, Qin Donghai’s immortal origin was denser than the rest. Evidently, he had defeated several competitors and robbed them of their immortal origins.

So even if Qin Donghai didn’t make a move against him, Mu Chen wouldn’t let him go. After all, defeating the former would mean that he would receive an immortal origin comparable to a few people.

When Mu Chen and Qin Donghai stood in confrontation, the spectators outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda had also seen this and their eyes were instantly attracted over.

“It’s actually Qin Donghai and Mu Chen... Qin Donghai built his fame ages ago, and his achievements aren’t inferior to Mu Chen’s...”

“Yeah, he’s a Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, and adding the power of his Immortal Golden Body, he defeated many people on the same cultivation in the past.”

“I wonder who will retain the last laugh...”

A discussion broke out around the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. There were finally two experts facing off, and this confrontation was naturally more interesting than the rest.

“That kid has finally encountered a tough opponent. Qin Donghai isn’t a small figure.” Futu Xuan squinted his eyes as he looked at the mirror.

With a smile, Qing Yanjing replied, “It’s just Qin Donghai. He’s not great enough to threaten Chen’er.”

“You’re boasting your son to the heavens!” Futu Xuan mocked.

“Because my son is qualified.” Qing Yanjing flung her lips. She wasn’t bothered.

“Then, I will watch their battle. There isn’t any Protective Spiritual Array for him to use this time.” Futu Xuan snorted. He was naturally still holding grudges for Mu Chen using the Protective Spiritual Array to suppress the Elders of the two Bloodlines back in the Ancient Buddha Clan.

... action

Powerful Spiritual Energy formed into a gale as it swept around Qing Donghai, causing space to distort and cracks were spreading out on the mountain beneath his feet.

The explosive power of a Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign was naturally earth-shaking.

Looking at Qing Donghai, Mu Chen raised his brows. Qin Donghai’s momentum was much stronger than the Ghost Emperor, who was also a Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Although I might be inferior to the top four, no one beneath them can threaten me!” Qin Donghai’s voice rumbled like thunder filled with confidence.

With a smile, Mu Chen replied, “Unlike you, not even the four of them can stop me today.”

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Donghai sneered. Mu Chen was embarrassing him for his lack of confidence.

“Then, I will see how you are qualified to speak those words!” Qin Donghai’s eyes grew sharp as he formed seals. His robes fluttered and a boundless ocean made of Spiritual Energy spread out.

“Eastern Sleeve Sea!” Qin Donghai hollered and blue Spiritual Energy filled the entire region as it suppressed towards Mu Chen.

The ocean had sealed off all paths of retreat, and contained a violent current that could swiftly exhaust Spiritual Energy upon being caught in it.

With a calm expression, Mu Chen took a deep breath before he opened his mouth — Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames!

In the next instant, sizzling violet flames were spewed and formed into a halo that spread out. In the path of the purple flames, the massive ocean of Spiritual Energy had been quickly incinerated.

When Lin Donghai saw this, his gaze turned cold before he formed seals. “Sea Dragon Art!”

Space was torn apart, as if there was a heavenly river descending that formed into eight geysers of dragons as they roared.

“Submerging Pearl!” The ocean violently converged between Qin Donghai’s palms and was compressed into a deep blue sphere that ferociously surged, as if it contained an entire ocean.

In just less than ten-odd breaths, Qin Donghai had executed two Peerless Divine Abilities with shocking momentum that could sweep through any Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.

“Go!” The dragons roared along with the deep blue sphere and flew towards Mu Chen.

However, Mu Chen wasn’t shaken. A ray of primal chaos flew into the sky and rustled forth.

In the path of the primal chaos ray, the dragons and sphere instantly disappeared...

Looking at this scene, Qin Donghai’s face was pale. He had executed all his trump cards, while Mu Chen was just standing there receiving his attacks.

The gap between the two of them wasn’t just enormous.

“I don’t believe that you’re that powerful!” Qin Donghai refused to believe in reality, so he roared and summoned his Immortal Golden Body.

Facing Mu Chen’s powerful means, he was left with no choice but to use the Immortal Golden Body.

“Finally using the Immortal Golden Body?” Mu Chen smiled as he stretched out his hand and tapped down.

When Mu Chen’s finger tapped down, Qin Donghai abruptly raised his head in shock to see a crystal pagoda descending along with a massive shadow that enveloped both him and the Immortal Golden Body...

Mu Chen snapped his fingers, which rang out an echo in the air, and said, “Eight Divisional Pagoda.”

The crystal pagoda violently trembled with violent a Spiritual Energy fluctuation that caused the surrounding space to collapse.

The tremor lasted for a long time before it gradually died down. With a calm expression, Mu Chen waved his hand and the crystal pagoda returned.

In the collapsed space, Qin Donghai’s silhouette had disappeared with only a robust purplish-golden ray.

Stretching his hand out, Mu Chen grabbed onto it with a smile before he turned around and left...

When Mu Chen defeated Qin Donghai, everyone outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda was dumbfounded at this scene. No one expected that the battle would end so quickly...
