The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The demon’s loud cry resounded in the area, and an earth-shattering windstorm swirled out. The wind and the clouds changed color, and there was darkness in the area. All the Heavenly Sovereigns in Northern Wilderness Hill were shocked, and they lifted up their heads. They looked at the shadow of the devil that was standing in the area, and great fear fell upon them. Even masters like Maha Tian and Qing Yanjing turned pale, and they had a fearful look on their faces.

After all, they had heard of the Heavenly Evil Deity’s notoriety. During the Primordial Age, he had led the Extraterritorial Race to fight the Great Thousand World and had defeated them. If not for the Immortal Emperor who had stepped out to fight against the Heavenly Evil Deity, the Great Thousand World would have been destroyed…

Back then, the Immortal Emperor had sacrificed his life in order to seal up the Heavenly Evil Deity. However, after 49,000 years, the Heavenly Evil Deity had managed to break through the seal at the crucial moment and come back to the world.

“We still have three more Exterminate Demon Ancient Spears!” The Great Nether Ancestor said, shivering. He was not resigned to the outcome. As long as three more Exterminate Demon Ancient Spears went into the ground, the lifeforce of the Heavenly Evil Deity would be exterminated. At this crucial moment, their past efforts were about to go to waste.

The Heavenly Sovereigns started to moan, and their faces turned pale. “Are the heavens allowing our Great Thousand World to be destroyed?”

Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord sensed the horrifying Demonic Energy outside Northern Wilderness Hill, and their faces turned ghastly pale as well.

The Undying Lord cried out as he looked up at the sky, shivering, “It has been 49,000 years! My Gravekeepers have been guarding over the Heavenly Evil Deity for 49,000 years, and all our past efforts have gone to waste!”

He could not accept the outcome. They had only a few more hours to go. After all, the 99 Exterminate Demon Ancient Spears had been shot into the ground, and the bane of the Great Thousand World would be utterly destroyed.

Now that the Heavenly Evil Deity had come back to the world, the Great Thousand World would not be able to stop him from destroying it!

Qin Tian and the Green Shirt Sword Saint looked gloomy, and they felt helpless. Although they had tried their best, they had not expected the Extraterritorial Race to have done so much in preparation for this day…

However, Qin Tian was not an ordinary person. He quickly suppressed his emotions, and his deep voice resounded in Northern Wilderness Hill, saying, “All of you listen up. Activate the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array and kill this demon. He has just escaped, and he is extremely weak now!”

When the Heavenly Sovereigns, who had been at a loss earlier, heard what Qin Tian had said, they came to themselves. After looking at one another, they gritted their teeth, and vast spiritual energy surged out from their bodies and shot toward the Paulownia coffins.

They had read from the Ancient Text and knew the horrifying power of the Heavenly Evil Deity. This day, they must not allow him to leave. Once he regained his strength, there would be another calamity in the Great Thousand World.

Boom! Boom!

After the Heavenly Sovereigns had activated the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array, several rays of ancient light intertwined with one another in the sky. They then turned into ancient runes and rotated in the sky, exuding a mysterious power.

The huge Demonic Shadow stood within the Demonic Smoke and lifted up his head. His eyes were filled with disgust for the world, and when he looked at the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array in the sky, he let out an ear-piercing shout, saying, “Ha! The Immortal Emperor is no longer around. Do you think that you are able to seal me up with the array that he has left behind? Stop dreaming!”

The Demonic Shadow cried out and shot up into the sky. The Demonic Energy around him twirled crazily and emitted a horrifying power. If even a Heavenly Sovereign had been twirled into it, he would have been killed instantly.

Maha Tian and the rest shouted, “Stop him!”

Buzz! Buzz!

The ancient runes in the sky shot out under the control of the Heavenly Sovereigns. They pierced through the space and appeared around the Heavenly Evil Deity, who was trying to get out of Northern Wilderness Hill.

The Heavenly Evil Deity shouted when he saw the ancient runes coming toward him, “Get out of my sight!” The vast Demonic Energy that could have easily killed a Heavenly Sovereign attacked the ancient runes.

Buzz! Buzz!

The ancient runes exuded dazzling light and formed a round Light Shield, covering the Heavenly Evil Deity’s Demonic Shadow within.

Swish! Swish!

When the Demonic Energy came into contact with the Light Shield, it let out swishing sounds. It was as though snow had come into contact with magma, and it dissipated in an instant.

When Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, and the rest saw the power of the Exterminate Demon Runes, they felt encouraged. The Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array was still effective against the Heavenly Evil Deity.

Cold light flashed in the eyes of the huge Demonic Shadow, and he said in a petrifying voice, “Although I am now at my weakest, do you think that you can make me stay with these Exterminate Demon Runes?”

“Destructive Dark Demonic Light!” A roaring sound rumbled in the area, and the Demonic Shadow opened his mouth. A vast Demonic Light about 300 meters long shot out of his mouth, and when it appeared, it tore the space apart. The spiritual energy dispersed as though it had encountered some horrifying object.

The Demonic Light shot out and blasted the Light Shield in the sky. When the Demonic Light and the Light Shield collided, the Demonic Light released a strong fluctuation that caused the space to collapse. Everything seemed to slow down under the power of the Demonic Light.

The ancient runes continued to release spiritual light to reinforce the Light Shield. They were doing their best to support the Light Shield, however, the Demonic Light was too destructive. A short while after the Demonic Light and the Light Shield collided, the Light Shield started to dim down, and the ancient runes started to break up.

The Heavenly Evil Deity cried out, “Today, even if the Immortal Emperor were here, he would not be able to stop me!” The demonic power covered the area, and the Demonic Light shined more brightly. It exploded and pierced through the Light Shield.

The Demonic Light was in front of the Heavenly Evil Deity’s Demonic Shadow, and they shot up into the sky and headed out of Northern Wilderness Hill.

The Light Shield that was formed by the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array spread outside Northern Wilderness Hill. This was the last line of defense. Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord looked pale as they saw the huge Demonic Shadow coming toward them. If the Heavenly Evil Deity went past this last line of defense, he would be out in the world again.

The three of them said with a determined look on their faces, “We must stop him. If he gets past this seal, no one will be able to stop him.”

“Hahaha! Our Deity is out. Who are you to stop him!? Step aside!” Just as the three of them were about to strike, the sound of laughter was heard coming out of the void. The Saint Heaven Demon Emperor looked coldly at the three of them and waved his hand. He then led several clan leaders out and shot toward them. Suddenly, vast Demonic Energy swirled toward Qin Tian and the other two.

Qin Tian and the other two had no choice but to stop going after the Heavenly Evil Emperor and counter the attacks of the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor and the clan leaders.

Boom! Boom!

At the same time, the Heavenly Evil Deity’s Demonic Shadow was already at the Exterminate Demon Light Shield. The Demonic Light shot out and hit the Light Shield, creating a powerful ripple effect. However, it did not break the Light Shield, and instead, started to dissipate.

“If I had regained my strength, I could have smashed it with one blow. Even so, I am now just using up some of my Demonic Source,” the Heavenly Evil Deity said flatly and looked indifferently at the last layer of Light Shield that was in front of him. Having said that, black smoke emanated from the huge Demonic Shadow and gathered in front of him to form a black crystalized body. Although the black crystalized body was not outstanding, when it took shape, it exuded a horrifying fluctuation. After the Heavenly Evil Emperor had formed the black crystalized body, its huge Demonic Shadow shrank to half its original size, as it had used up much of its power.

“Go!” The Demonic Shadow flicked his finger, and the black crystalized body flew out and brushed against the Light Shield. There was no loud explosion when the black crystalized body and the Light Shield came into contact with each other. The black crystalized body emitted black and devilish ripples…

The ripples seemed to possess a mysterious force, and they started to spread out. The Light Shield, which had remained sturdy during the earlier attacks that the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor and the rest had thrown out, started to shake vigorously. As the Light Shield shook, it began to thin down. It was apparent that the black crystalized body was rapidly using up its energy as it kept shrinking. When it had shrunk to the size of a grain, the Light Shield dispersed into thin air.

When everyone in Northern Wilderness Hill saw that the sky was no longer covered by the Light Shield, their faces turned ghastly pale.

The Heavenly Evil Deity looked at the empty sky, and there were fluctuations in his eyes. He then turned around to look at Northern Wilderness Hill and said flatly, “Immortal Emperor, 49,000 years ago, you gave up your life to seal me up. This time around, who can save the Great Thousand World? I have told you before that the Great Thousand World belongs to me…”

Having said that, the Heavenly Evil Deity shot out, and vast Demonic Energy swirled out of the empty space. Without the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array to suppress the Demonic Energy, vast Demonic Energy raged out crazily. At that instant, all the living things in the Great Thousand World felt a great fear falling upon them.

The Heavenly Evil Deity had come into the world.
