The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

At the Luo God Palace.

The skinny middle-aged man sat on the chair without any expression on his face. He did not move. In fact, one could not even hear him breathe!

If not for the spiritual light in his eyes, one would think that he was a statue. This guy had been sitting there for a whole month!

Luo Li sat on the main seat and frowned. Ever since the man had told her of his intentions, he did not say another word, which made it impossible for her to find out if he had any dark designs regarding Mu Chen. One thing she was certain of was that the man came from the Budur Ancient Clan.

Luo Li noticed that there was a black tower printed on his sleeve. The Budur Ancient Clan was the only extraordinary force in The Great Thousand World.

Mu Chen's mother should be from the Budur Ancient Clan...

Back then, Luo Li had met Mu Chen's mother, which was how she had found out about her background. She knew that it was the Budur Ancient Clan that had separated Mu Chen from his mother. Thus, Mu Chen was not on good terms with the Budur Ancient Clan.

As Luo Li thought of this, she looked at the middle-aged man and said, "You have waited in vain for some time. You should leave. Mu Chen will not come back to this place."

The middle-aged man said, "It seems to me that you have already informed him."

Having said that, the cries of dragons and elephants resounded in his body. At the same time, horrifying power ripples exuded from him and smashed the ground up.

In the face of such a powerful man, Luo Li remained fearless. Then, a majestic spiritual light exuded from her body and a large Sovereign Celestial Appearance appeared behind her.

Although she was no match for a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, she could still contend with him with the help of her Luo God Celestial Body. Moreover, if the middle-aged man started a fight, he would have violated the rules of the Western Kingdom War Temple. When the inspector from the Western Kingdom War Temple found out about it, he would certainly step in.

The middle-aged man did not strike, but instead, he looked depressed. He sighed in disappointment and said, "What a disappointment. He ran away before we could even fight. Does he think that he can continue to be on the run? One day, our clan will find him. What can he do then?"

When Luo Li heard him speaking with disdain and disappointment, she was a little furious. But, before she could defend Mu Chen, she heard a familiar voice coming from the entrance of the hall.

"You are just a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. What makes you think that I will run away from you? You have thought too highly of yourself." Luo Li looked up and saw Mu Chen standing at the entrance of the hall. As the sun shone on him, he looked a little cold, although he was still smiling.

Luo Li heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Mu Chen. Given his strength, even if he could not defeat the Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, the other party would not be able to harm him.

The expression on the faces of Luo Tianshen, Luo Tianlong, and the Earthly Sovereigns who were behind Luo Li changed when they saw Mu Chen. The middle-aged man had come for Mu Chen, and since he had now appeared, the situation would surely get out of control.

They felt suppressed by the Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. After the middle-aged man had a good look at Mu Chen, he seemed to get a bit emotional.

"So, you are Mu Chen!" the middle-aged man said.

"Yes, you are right!" Mu Chen laughed and nodded.

"Great. If you had run away before seeing me, I would have felt sorry for your mother, who has gone to such great lengths to protect you," the middle-aged man said.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "Like I have said earlier, you are just a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign, so you don't have the means to make me run away from you."

As Mu Chen was disgusted with the people from the Budur Ancient Clan, he had no qualms about openly insulting the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man nodded and did not say a word. Just as everyone started to relax, he suddenly stood up.

Roar!

As the roaring sounds of the dragons and elephants surged from his body, he stepped forth. In an instant, he was before Mu Chen and threw out a punch at him.

Although it was a simple punch, as the wind blast of his fist whizzed across the space, a majestic spiritual light surged. Several dragons and elephants appeared in the spiritual light, exuding a horrifying power. This blow was so powerful, it could kill an ordinary Upper Earthly Sovereign!

However, Mu Chen remained expressionless and was not surprised by the attack. As he took a deep breath, spiritual light burst out from his dark eyes.

Roar!

He grasped his fist and punched forward. The spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix on his arm cried out, while an oppression swirled out.

After he had been strengthened by the Baptism of the Continent, the spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix had a breakthrough as well. They had reached the level of a Lower Earthly Sovereign. The two spirits joined forces and infused their strength into Mu Chen's punch.

Although the real dragon and real phoenix were only at the Lower Earthly Sovereign-level, when coupled with Mu Chen's strength, their combined powers were enough to flatten any Upper Earthly Sovereign! Even if Ling Zhanzi was the one to receive the punch, he would be seriously injured.

Boom!

The two powerful punches collided like meteorites.

Bang!

There was a loud bang, but to everyone's surprise, it was not as destructive as they had thought it would be. If they were observant, they would have noticed that the solid ground under the two people's feet had been smashed, creating potholes all around them.

Space warps were formed at the spot where their fists hit each other, and Mu Chen and the middle-aged man both flew backwards several steps before they landed with their feet on the ground. Basically, they were on par with each other!

The exchange of blows took place quickly. After the two of them moved back, Luo Li stood up and looked coldly at the middle-aged man, while a Luo God Celestial Appearance loomed behind her.

The Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign would not be able to escape if she were to join forces with Mu Chen...

Luo Tianshen, Luo Tianlong, and the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns widened their eyes in disbelief. Although they knew that Mu Chen had extraordinary combat force after seeing him defeat Ling Zhanzi, the man before them was a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. As such, his strength was somewhere at the Complete Earthly Sovereign-level, and even a Peak Upper Earthly Sovereign would not be able to take him on!

However, Mu Chen did not show any signs of inferiority or fear when he fought him! In less than six months, Mu Chen had made remarkable progress!

The middle-aged man looked shocked after he caught his balance. He had not expected Mu Chen to be so powerful and valiant. Moreover, he did not have any edge over him!

As his cultivation technique belonged to the progressive force, his punch carried the power of the dragon and elephant. As such, it was immensely overbearing.

However, when he had punched Mu Chen earlier, he could feel some oppression coming from him, as if Mu Chen's power was greater than his. Mu Chen rubbed his fist and looked stunned. He was shocked by the horrifying power that this middle-aged man possessed. If his spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix had not reached the Lower Earthly Sovereign-level, he would have been seriously injured by the man's punch.

This guy is powerful! He is more powerful than a Complete Earthly Sovereign in terms of strength. Mu Chen's eyes glittered. The middle-aged man was not any ordinary Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. As such, it would be a fierce fight between the two of them.

Mu Chen turned grim, and the spiritual energy in his body surged as he stared warily at the middle-aged man. In this instant, the middle-aged man laughed, and his laughter was filled with delight.

He then said to Mu Chen, "You are worthy to be Master's son. You are so outstanding at such a young age!"

Mu Chen was stunned when he saw his warm and delightful smile and heard his words. Before Mu Chen could come to himself, the middle-aged man suddenly knelt down on one knee before him in front of Luo Li and the rest. He no longer looked expressionless, but was filled with respect for Mu Chen.

"Greetings, Little Lord. I am Long Xiang!"
