The Great Ruler

Nearly four years after the Great Thousand Alliance’s expedition, they returned to the Great Thousand World. They did not cover up what happened, but announced the news truthfully.

Although they managed to weaken the Fiend Clans, they did not manage to prevent the Heavenly Evil Monarch from recovering. In the coming future, the Fiend Clans will launch their invasion once the Heavenly Evil Monarch recovers to his peak.

This news has undoubtedly caused a tremor in the Great Thousand World with everyone living in fear. After all, the fear brought by the Heavenly Evil Monarch was too high.

To appease everyone, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor stationed the Great Thousand Alliance at the borders of the Great Thousand World and the Demonic Territories to form a defensive line to guard against the invasion of the Fiend Clans

Under this guard, half a year swiftly passed.

Despite the uneasiness, the alliance did not lose control under the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s leadership as wrath started to be born from uneasiness — wrath that was directed at the Fiend Clans.

Since they wanted to lay destruction to the Great Thousand World, then at the very least, they would drag the Fiend Clans down at their deaths!

Under this rage, the number of powerhouses started to surge — especially those experts in the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. Without the barrier in their hearts, they started to make breakthroughs into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Although there were those who failed, there was also no lack of success. Hence, the entire strength of the Great Thousand World increased.

Under this atmosphere, the Great Thousand World was no longer engulfed in uneasiness. There were even some that couldn’t stand the wait and started to hold an expectation for the Fiend Clans. After all, they would rather die honourably. Half a year has passed under this wait.

...

In the Great Thousand World’s northwest borders.

Five silhouettes appeared on this mountain range that were sweeping their keen eyes around.

This was a small team with four Lesser Earth Sovereigns, and a Perfected Earth Sovereign. Their task was to monitor this territory.

“Captain, we’ve been here for about two months now.” A Lesser Earth Sovereign stretched his waist and looked into the distance. There wasn’t the slightest abnormality at all, which made them feel bored.

“You’re finding it too peaceful?” That Greater Earth Sovereign glanced at him and replied, “Don’t worry. This peace won’t last, and you will yearn for this peace later.”

The moment the Fiend Clans appears, it would represent the storm of blood that the entire Great Thousand World would be swept up in.

The other team members fell into silence with grave expressions. A few years ago, they might still be able to become tyrants in the Great Thousand World, but at this moment, they could only form into teams and guard the frontlines of the Great Thousand World.

They knew that it was a responsibility that they couldn’t shrink from. Otherwise, the Great Thousand World would be doomed with their friends and families butchered.

“Captain, do you think that we can defeat the Fiend Clans? I heard that the Heavenly Evil Monarch will be at his pinnacle form the next time he appears.” A member asked.

After a brief silence, the Captain replied, “According to the news that I’ve received, not even the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor could fight with the Heavenly Evil Monarch if the latter recovers to his pinnacle state.”

The four members trembled and their countenances were grim. The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were considered as the leaders of the Great Thousand Alliance at this moment, and it was those two who made a comeback that gave them the confidence to fight with the Fiend Clans.

Looking at everyone’s expressions, the captain smiled. “But don’t be in too much despair. I also know a piece of news that we have someone in the Great Thousand World that’s trying to make a breakthrough. If he succeeds, then our Great Thousand World will have three existences that exceed the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. At that time, we might be able to put up a fight with the Heavenly Evil Monarch.”

The four of them jolted as they asked, “Who? Lord Qin Tian? Or is it the Azure Sword Saint? Or perhaps one of the Supreme Divine Beasts?”

The captain shook his head as he mysteriously replied, “I heard that it’s that person from the Mu Abode.”

“Mu Abode? Can it be the Mu Abode’s Ruler? Ruler Mu Chen?!” The four of them exclaimed with disbelief. After all, there wasn’t any news from Mu Chen since a few years ago, and their latest knowledge of him stopped at his fight with Maha Tian.

At that time, Mu Chen was only an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign and already possessed the capability to fight with a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. However, he still had some distance to the likes of Qin Tian.

Thus, the four of them felt that it’s unbelievable that Mu Chen was trying to become the third Ranker.

“This matter was agreed upon by the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. Since the two of them agreed to it, then there’s no need for us to keep guessing here. In terms of our eyesight, we can’t be comparable to the two Lords, right?” the Captain smiled.

The four of them gave an embarrassed smile while feeling relieved. After all, the reputation of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor has already reached the pinnacle these days, and if it wasn’t for the two of them, the Great Thousand World would already be in a mess before the Fiend Clans attacked.

When the Captain finished his words, he no longer bothered with the four of them, but stood up and looked around.

“Mhm?” Suddenly, his expression changed and he raised his head. His countenance drastically changed when he saw countless black meteorites descending from the sky and a torrential demonic aura fell.

When those meteorites descended, the impacts caused the mountain range to collapse.

“Retreat!” The Captain exclaimed as he hollered, “The Fiend Clans have appeared!”

The team panicked before immediately turning into beams and fled. They had to pass on this news immediately.

“Keke, where do you guys think you’re going?” When they moved, an eerie voice resounded and a demonic claw appeared and grabbed onto the four members.

The four members couldn’t even retaliate as they splattered within the claw.

When the Captain saw this scene, his eyes couldn’t help widened with rage. However, he could sense the might from that person who attacked, so it must be a Monarch. Hence, he did not dare to remain and left afterimages behind as he escaped.

However, he soon came to a stop as a demonic being appeared before him with a brutal gaze staring at him.

“You think that you can escape?” The demonic being snickered.

The Captain’s face was drained of all colour. This must be a Monarch. He knew that there was no escape for him today, so he took a deep breath. His expression started to calm down with decisiveness in his eyes.

“May the heavens protect the Great Thousand World!” he hollered as his body shot forth.

“A futile effort.” The Monarch sneered as he stretched a hand out and clenched.

But all of a sudden, spiritual runes suddenly appeared on the body of that captain, along with extremely violent Spiritual Energy.

Sensing this, the Monarch’s face changed.

The Captain’s body exploded. It was akin to a blazing sun and a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation wreaked havoc.

A long time later, the explosion receded and the demonic was revealed. The latter was in a terrible state at this moment with a pale expression. He never expected that the human would choose self-destruction.

“What a bargain for you.” The Monarch snorted as he waved his hand and disappeared.

At the same time, countless demonic lights flickered as demonic beings started to streak across the horizon.

...

In a majestic city at the border of the Great Thousand World, there was a radiance being emitted that lit up a million miles in radius with everyone that was engulfed by the brilliance feeling safe.

At the same time, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor slowly opened their eyes with cold flickers. That’s because, at that moment, they could feel a peculiar Spiritual Energy fluctuation that was caused by a self-destruction.

Evidently, a scouting group has encountered trouble.

“They’re finally here...?” As they exchanged a look, they waved their hands and a brilliant bell resounded. The ring bell was extremely majestic, spreading the sound to every corner of the Great Thousand World.

A total of nine rings represented the highest level of danger.

Everyone in the Great Thousand World heard the bell and everyone raised their heads to look in the direction of the borders. They knew that the Fiend Clans have started their invasion...
