The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Beyond the Aeon Tower, everyone looked at the battle reflected in the spiritual energy light mirror, and their gazes were full of astonishment. No one had expected that the battle would be so crisp as it came to an abrupt end.

Qin Donghai was no pushover, which could be seen from his previous battles with several opponents. His strength, even at the middle stage of God Grade, was top-notch. Even so, when he encountered Mu Chen, he was still completely suppressed. It could be seen from this how ferocious Mu Chen’s combat power was.

“He is worthy of being a fierce man who can fight five men at once. This power is inhuman…”

“It seems that if they want to stop Mu Chen, they can only send out the true later-stage God Grades.”

“That’s hard to say. Mu Chen has many means, and no one knows if there is anything else hidden in his arsenal.” There was a lot of whispering, but everyone looked at Mu Chen gravely.

“How about that?” Qing Yanjing smiled at Budur Xuan.

“There is nothing to be proud of just because he defeated Qin Donghai.” Budur Xuan’s face was tense as he harrumphed. “The real opponents are the four guys infront of him.”

Qing Yanjing nodded slightly but did not deny it. “The four of them have been famous for many years and are formidable characters in the Great Thousand World. They are indeed worthy opponents of Chen’er.” Her tone changed. “But if Chen’er is confident about coming to this Aeon Tower, he should have the confidence to know what he’s doing.”

Seeing Qing Yanjing’s unwavering faith in Mu Chen, Budur Xuan shook his head exasperatedly. He was not as optimistic as she was. After all, Mu Chen was not weak, but the four other people were not simple, either. The outcome of today’s battle was still shrouded in uncertainty.

…

As the crowd outside Aeon Tower murmured, Mu Chen went on to search for other opponents after defeating Qin Donghai. In the time that followed, he easily defeated several opponents and got three Immortality Sources, which made his Immortal Golden Body stronger.

By this time, the space had changed again. It was clear that half the number of people had been eliminated, and the rest of the participants automatically entered the next floor. Mu Chen was not surprised at all as he continued to sweep out his opponents.

In the next hour, the space had changed twice, and Mu Chen met fewer and fewer opponents. However, many of those he had met were stronger than Qin Donghai. This showed that the List of Victory Records’ rankings were not absolute.

…

Boom!

The space vibrated as the raging aftershocks of spiritual power still raged upon heaven and earth, tearing the earth and causing it to be riddled with holes.

In the desolate earth, a bright Immortal Golden Body gradually shattered as it finally burst apart. A figure was squeezed out of the Aeon Tower, and a bright and strong Immortality Source shot out. It was quickly devoured by the giant purple-gold shadow behind Mu Chen.

With the devouring of this Immortality Source, the giant purple-gold shadow behind Mu Chen condensed like a true purple-gold body. There were even mottled and ancient traces emerging on the surface of that huge body. Those traces were as if transformed from the beginning of heaven and earth, mysterious and powerful.

“My Immortal Golden Body now, in terms of its realm, is no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor of old.” Mu Chen could sense the terrifying power from the massive purple-gold shadow as excitement surged in his heart. After all, the original Heavenly Emperor had not been to this Aeon Tower, because the Immortal Emperor had not yet fallen.

Buzz.

As Mu Chen thought about it, the space twisted again. He narrowed his eyes, and his body tensed. So far, there were only eight people left in the Aeon Tower, which meant that he would have a good chance of meeting the four men in front of him…

“It’s finally in its final stages…”

The space continued to distort as it rapidly changed. Mu Chen surveyed his surroundings, only to see that he was atop a sea. The vast sea was as boundless as the sky and sea were azure.

Phew.

Mu Chen looked at the ocean world and took a deep breath. At this level, the opponents he would meet would be extremely strong. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to pass through the layers of elimination.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he murmured to himself, “I just don’t know who I’m going to meet this time.” If he met Maha You there, it seemed that the final war would be played out ahead of time.

Mu Chen stepped onto the sea and headed forward. With every step he took, he appeared yards ahead. After ten minutes or so, he paused as he glared into the distance. At what seemed to be the end of the sea, a huge wave suddenly surged and rolled up. On that huge wave, a silhouette sat cross-legged. The figure was dressed in a gold cassock as his bald head reflected the sunlight’s luster. His thin figure looked as if a wild beast was hidden within, and he emanated a terrible power.

“Lord Vajra, Shi Luo.” Looking at the bald figure, Mu Chen’s expression grew grave.

…

“Looks like Mu Chen encountered Shi Luo…”

Outside the Aeon Tower, a commotion burst out. In the middle of the sky, there were only four light mirrors, but at this time, there were only eight participants reflected in them. As everyone saw Mu Chen and Shi Luo appear in one mirror at the same time, they could not help but to burst out in exclamations.

Their expressions became solemn, as Shi Luo was ranked among the top three on the List of Victory Records. He also had the strength of a later-stage God Grade and had immense combat power.

Of the opponents he had met before, no one had been able to force him to display his Immortal Golden Body. He had defeated everyone with one blow with his physical body. But in the same way, Mu Chen had suffered no defeat. Now that the two men had met, there was no doubt it would be more interesting than the other three battles.

“So it’s Shi Luo?” Qing Yanjing looked at this scene as her expression grew solemn. She had heard of Shi Luo before, and he was quite impressive.

Budur Xuan also frowned beside her. Although he had held a grudge against Mu Chen, he had always hoped that he would win. But now he met with Shi Luo, which was bound to cause him a great deal of trouble. He might even have to stop there.

“It will be a terrible battle… I hope the boy can handle it.”

…

Whoosh.

The tide surged and finally stopped 1,000 yards from Mu Chen. On the tide, Shi Luo slowly opened his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen. He smiled and said, “I didn’t think I would meet Estate Master Mu here.”

Mu Chen also gently nodded and replied, “I’m unlucky to have met Lord Vajra here.” In the face of this man, even Mu Chen sensed danger and could not let his guard down in the slightest.

Shi Luo said with a smile, “Estate Master Mu has a remarkable record and can be regarded as a worthy enemy. But we will see the Primordial Immortal Body in the next level, so I won’t show mercy.”

“Same here,” Mu Chen replied with a smile.

Shi Luo rose slowly, but his thin figure made the space tremble. Clasping his hands together, he slowly said, “In that case, I’ll have to seek advice from Estate Master Mu.”

The crystal tower surfaced in Mu Chen’s eyes as the spiritual energy in his body turned into Crystal Spiritual Energy. It flowed in his limbs and bones, causing his skin to become crystal clear.

“Please give me your advice.”

Mu Chen was solemn, as the man in front of him was a strong enemy that he had given enough respect.

Shi Luo gradually released a golden light. Gold runes emerged on his thin body, and as his muscles twitched, the tide surged in the sea at his feet. An indescribable power permeated the space as it spread rapidly.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered and grew fierce. In the next moment, he took the lead and huffed. A purple sea of fire charged out and raged towards Shi Luo. The sea of fire spread as the sea water below was boiling. However, in the face of the roaring sea of fire, Shi Luo did not evade it. He let the sea of fire engulf him.

Seeing this, Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed. The Spirit Devouring Purple Flames were extremely domineering, and even a God Grade Sovereign would not allow them to go near him. Shi Luo was bold, indeed.

Boom!

As Mu Chen’s thoughts flashed, the sea of fire suddenly erupted, and a figure burst out. Shi Luo’s body was without any spiritual fluctuations, and he had resisted the purple flames entirely by virtue of his flesh.

The Spirit Devouring Purple Flame burned spiritual energy to strengthen itself. Thus, Shi Luo sealed all his pores and concealed his spiritual energy, so the flames could not latch on and burn him.

Whoosh!

Charging out of the sea of fire, golden light bloomed on Shi Luo’s body. With a flash, he appeared before Mu Chen like a specter. Closing his fingers into a fist, the space collapsed as he threw a punch at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s gaze glinted, and the crystal spiritual energy gathered as if it had been turned into a crystal protective barrier on his fist. He converged all the powers in his body and threw a punch.

He wanted to try it head on and see how powerful a later-stage God Grade was.

Boom!

The two punches collided as a low rumble rang out. The sea at the feet of the two men collapsed instantly, and the impact caused shockwaves to rage. It set off a huge wave of tens of thousands of feet that roared away in the distance.

Crash!

As the tides surged, both of them shook, but this time, it was Mu Chen who was at a disadvantage. He flew out of thousands of feet as deep ripples were torn out of the sea beneath his feet.

“A later-stage God Grade is very impressive, indeed.” With a stomp, Mu Chen steadied himself. A crack appeared on his fist’s crystal defense barrier, which quickly fell off and dissipated into spots of light. Mu Chen’s expression grew grave.

With the transformation into crystal spiritual energy, even if Mu Chen was only a middle-stage Spiritual Grade, his power was still comparable to a God Grade. But now, he had been struck back with one blow from Shi Luo.

Had it not been for the seal of the crystal spiritual energy, where Shi Luo had not dared to launch a complete attack, this blow alone would have caused some damage to Mu Chen.

“Looks like I have to go all out…” Mu Chen took a deep breath while conjuring seals with both hands. Suddenly, a black and a white beam of light flew out of his body and turned into black and white Mu Chens beside him.

Shi Luo looked at the black and white figures beside Mu Chen, and he looked solemn. He was naturally aware of the power of the 36 Volumes of Rare Super Powers.

Faced with this kind of opponent, even if Mu Chen was only a middle-stage Spiritual Grade, Shi Luo still dared not slow down. Clasping his hands together, in the next moment, a glowing golden light swept out as his thin body expanded. A golden giant stood above the sea in a few short moments. A flood of terror burst out of Shi Luo’s body like a raging storm.

Outside the Aeon Tower, everyone looked at this scene and was astonished. Both of them are finally about to use their true abilities. Who knows who will get the last laugh in this ferocious battle?
