The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The golden light gradually dissipated, and when it thoroughly disappeared, the oppression emanating from Mu Chen’s body had completely retracted. Lowering his head to his chest, Mu Chen couldn’t help being stunned.

On his chest, there was a True Dragon roaming beneath his skin. The True Dragon looked vivid and lively, as if it was alive and contained an extremely terrifying energy at the same time.

As his gaze flickered and with a will of his heart, the True Dragon swiftly moved to his fist, along his control, then he clenched his fist and threw a punch out.

Roar!

When he threw the punch out, a bright draconic roar resounded in this region and cracks appeared in the space before him from a single punch.

Hiss!

Mu Chen couldn’t help hissing a mouthful of cold air at this sight. He had only casually threw a punch out and only slightly controlled the True Dragon. He did not expect such a destructive force from it.

Looks like after reviving the Spirit of the True Dragon, it was much more formidable than before.

Rustle!

Nine Nether’s figure appeared before Mu Chen and she looked at the True Dragon, which was roaming on Mu Chen’s chest, with astonishment. She was a Divine Beast herself, so she could sense the oppression emanating from the True Dragon.

It belonged to a genuine True Dragon’s bloodline.

Mu Chen felt the roaming True Dragon on his chest and his expression slightly changed. He smiled towards Nine Nether. “Try attacking me.”

Nine Nether took a doubtful glance at Mu Chen. But she did not question him and gently flicked her finger. An extremely sharp force burst out, like a bolt of lightning, and was aimed at Mu Chen’s chest.

Facing Nine Nether’s attack, Mu Chen did not put up a defence. It was so much so that he even retracted the Spiritual Energy on the surface of his body and allowed that Spiritual Energy force to strike him.

Sizzle!

However, in that instant, when the Spiritual Energy force was about to come in contact with Mu Chen’s body, the True Dragon, which was roaming around Mu Chen’s chest, suddenly unleashed a deep draconic roar. It opened its mouth and devoured the Spiritual Energy force that was shooting over.

After devouring that Spiritual Energy force, the Spirit of the True Dragon merely trembled, before it recovered to its initial state, quietly roaming under Mu Chen’s skin.

Nine Nether was watching this scene with shock on her face.

Mu Chen couldn’t help grinning. Not only could the Spirit of the True Dragon bestow him with great power, it even possessed defensive abilities. The powerful defence probably wasn’t any weaker than the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour. If Mu Chen summoned the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour and added the defence of his body, the three layers of defence was probably even troublesome for Fifth Grade Sovereigns to deal with.

If he had revived the Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix a month ago, when he fought with Qiu Taiyin, he wouldn’t be forced to hide in his Sovereign Celestial Body to set up a Spiritual Array to fight back.

“What is this that you are cultivating?” Nine Nether finally couldn’t hold back on popping the question. Right now, Mu Chen seemed more like a Divine Beast than her.

Mu Chen dryly laughed, since there was no need to hide anything from Nine Nether. Thus, he had directly told her about the matters regarding the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.

Hearing Mu Chen’s explanation, Nine Nether felt speechless for a brief moment. But she couldn’t help frowning her brows as she looked at the Spirit of the True Dragon on Mu Chen’s chest, “In the future if you encounter someone from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, do not let them discover the Spirit of True Dragon and Phoenix on you…”

“Why?”

“The Dragon and Phoenix Clans are some of the best clans around. Their strengths are even comparable to secluded primordial clans. The True Dragon and Phoenix are pinnacle existences in each of those clans, so if they discovered that you possess the Spirit of a True Dragon and Phoenix, they might make a move on you and forcefully strip it off you,” said Nine Nether.

Mu Chen’s face slightly changed, since he did not think that the Dragon and Phoenix Clans would be so overbearing. But, fortunately, the Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix were too weak at the moment, so they wouldn’t attract the attention of those clans. As for the future, if he managed to train the Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix to their higher levels, he wouldn’t be weak at that time.

“I will pay attention to it.” Mu Chen nodded.

Nine Nether’s face slightly loosened up. But just when she was about to speak, a clear and bright bell suddenly rang out in the depths of the Greatlaw Sky. The bell sounded rushed, vaguely mixed with killing aura.

When Mu Chen and Nine Nether heard that bell, they narrowed their eyes and looked towards the depths of the Greatlaw Sky. They knew that it was the bell used to summon the King’s Conference. At the same time, it was the signal that represented the beginning of war.

“The war is starting.”

In the Greatlaw Sky’s Main Palace

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn with the Ruler, Three Emperors, the Ten Kings and those stronger subsidiary forces gathered in the great hall. This could be considered as the strongest standard in the Great Havenlaw Domain, so one could tell how important the Great Havenlaw Domain viewed the Hunting War. Saying that they had gone out full-force wasn’t an exaggeration.

Mu Chen sat on the stone throne in the hall with Nine Nether by his right, with the various Kings along the way. On the upper level were the Three Emperors and the unrivalled Mandala.

In the past, Mu Chen could only follow Nine Nether in the past King’s Conference. Standing behind her like a bodyguard. But with him becoming a King in the Great Havenlaw Domain, he could naturally receive the same treatment as Nine Nether.

In the hall, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, with Mandala sitting high up, overlooking everyone, before a tender voice resounded, “Seven days from now, the Spiritual Energy storm in the Fallen Battlefield will be at the weakest state. At that time, the Hunting War will take place.”

Although everyone was prepared, when they heard that declaration, their gazes couldn’t help trembling. Facing such a brutal war like the Hunting War, even a peak force like their Great Havenlaw Domain in the Northern Region could not be spared from it.

Mandala waved her hand, spiritual light gushed out, which formed into a huge and complicated map in mid-air. Judging from the terrain, it should be the Fallen Battlefield, but a majority of it was blacked out.

“Due to the Spiritual Energy storm in the Fallen Battlefield, there will be huge changes every time it opens. A majority of the maps in the past are useless, so after entering the Fallen Battlefield, you can only try to probe around by relying on the terrain.”

“The army of our Great Havenlaw Domain will enter the Fallen Battlefield from the northwest area. After entering, the army will spread out. All of you will lead your own troops to search for ruins and obtain the Fallen Origin Pellet.”

“Fallen Origin Pellet?” Hearing that term, Mu Chen was stunned, since it was an unfamiliar term to him.

“The experts that fell in the Fallen Battlefield will have their Sovereign Seas turned into Fallen Origin Pellets through time. The Fallen Origin Pellets are extremely beneficial to cultivation. Furthermore, they are also absolutely needed to break the Earth Sovereign Realms’ Treasuries.” Nine Nether’s voice rang out, which dissolved Mu Chen’s doubts.

“The Earth Sovereign Realms’ Treasuries are places where Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouses had fallen. However, the fallen places of such experts would be extremely concealed and further protected by Spiritual Arrays from the Fallen Battlefield. This natural Spiritual Array is connected to the entire Fallen Battlefield, so not even Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouses could forcefully break through them. The only way would be by relying on the Fallen Origin Pellets, since the source of the energy within is the same as the Fallen Battlefield.”

“Therefore, obtaining the Fallen Origin Pellets is the first step of the Hunting War, and also, the most important step. Every other force will also be snatching the Fallen Origin Pellets.”

“In order for us to obtain more Fallen Origin Pellets, we can only split our forces up. Otherwise, we will be wasting our resources by focusing on one place at a time.”

Mu Chen rubbed his forehead as he bitterly smiled. The Hunting War was truly troublesome, and since the Fallen Origin Pellets were so important, the competition for them would be extremely intense.

“After entering the Fallen Battlefield, the Three Emperors and myself will search for the Earth Sovereign Realms’ Treasuries. Therefore, the task of obtaining Fallen Origin Pellets will fall onto you guys.” Mandala looked at the ten Kings as she spoke in a solemn voice.

“I do not care about how you guys usually fight for resources and compete. But this time, I hope that you guys can put down your grudges and help one another. Otherwise, it will not be possible for you guys to bring sufficient Fallen Origin Pellets to us by yourselves. Without a sufficient amount of Fallen Origin Pellets, we will not be able to break the Earth Sovereign Realms’ Treasuries, basically meaning that we lost the war. And I’m sure you guys know what kind of price we have to pay if that happens.”

“You can only rely on yourselves to obtain the Fallen Origin Pellets, because the Three Emperors and myself will not be able to render help to any of you, since we have to keep the other forces in check so that they do not make their moves on you guys.”

Looking at Mandala’s golden pupils, which were imposing and oppressive, they couldn’t help respectfully nodding their heads.

Seeing their response, Mandala waved her hand. Ten streaks of light flew out to the ten Kings. As the lights dissipated, they formed into ten bronze mirrors that were flickering with spiritual light on their surfaces.

“This is the Spiritual Ceros Mirrors. If any of you encounters a dangerous situation, drop your blood on it and the others will be able to sense your location and render you aid. The gathering point will also be informed through the Spiritual Ceros Mirrors.”

Mu Chen and the rest nodded their heads as they received the Spiritual Ceros Mirrors and stored them.

“Now then, so that our Great Havenlaw Domain can still remain standing in this Northern Region after this Hunting War…”

“Let us fight, everyone!”

In the hall, every single expert abruptly stood up, their eyes burning with flames and filled with elated fighting intent as they echoed out.

““Fight!””
