The Great Ruler

Boom!

The gargantuan demonic shadow stood tall as the demonic terror swept through the space, causing the sky and earth to become dark. In the distance, many Heavenly Sovereigns stood atop bronze halls, gazing solemnly at the scene before them.

It was obvious that they were all shocked by the display of such an intense demonic power. Even some of the Divine Grades frowned with worry. Jiang Ya was so strong that he could top even the majority of the middle-stage Divine Grades. In the face of such a man, even Maha Tian would find it difficult to gain the upper hand without the aid of the Maha Yin-Yang Vase’s power.

At the moment, Mu Chen stood in the sky and looked at the massive demonic shadow. His expression was grave, as he could clearly feel an extremely dangerous aura in the air.

Crash!

As Mu Chen focused upon it, Jiang Ya’s demonic shadow let out a ghastly roar. Then, while it was waving its huge fist, a black and purple light that was carrying an indescribable ferocious aura, charged across the sky like a meteor and bombarded Mu Chen violently. That beam of light could have easily dealt any early stage Divine Grade a severe blow!

In the face of Jiang Ya’s frenzied attack, Mu Chen did not dare let down his guard. With a low growl, the Primordial Immortal Body stood up, surrounded by a crystal light halo. It then lifted one of its ancient palms as a crystal beam of light flew out of it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the palm clashed with the light, the space shattered and a vast amount of space debris scattered everywhere, resulting in much turbulence. Some Heavenly Sovereigns, who were nearby, hurriedly retreated, as they were deathly afraid of becoming entangled with it.

The two forces did not show any mercy, and their murderous intent raged on. In just a few minutes, they had exchanged a few thousand blows, but the victory could not yet be determined.

Roar!

The battle was at a standstill, which caused Jiang Ya to become increasingly infuriated. As he let out a fierce roar, he glared at Mu Chen.

He then lifted his hand, and at the center of his palm, the black and purple eye opened completely. Light radiated out of the eye as it exuded a terrible fluctuation.

As he looked at the black and purple eye, Mu Chen felt a chill run up his spine. It was obvious to him that it posed a great threat. Jiang Ya was clearly not going to tolerant a stalemate situation, so he intended to kill Mu Chen in order to break the deadlock!

“Brat! You must die!” Jiang Ya let out a skyward howl, and in the next moment, he raised his palm as the black and purple eye locked onto Mu Chen. Then, black and purple light converged madly upon Mu Chen, while the surrounding space began to collapse.

“Evil Spirit Eye! Deity Exterminating Demonic Light!” His roar reverberated between the heavens and the earth, full of murderous intent. At the same time, the black and purple eye trembled fiercely, and in the next moment, a black and purple light suddenly shot out.

As soon as the dark light appeared, it disappeared without a trace. At that moment, Mu Chen’s skin was tingling, and he was in a great amount of pain.

His face was grave and his gaze flickered. Even though there was an air of tranquillity around him, he could still sense that he was in a great amount of peril.

There were countless dark lights lurking in the space, all of them waiting to strike. He knew that if he revealed any flaw or weakness, he would be instantly annihilated.

“What a terrifying move,” Mu Chen murmured solemnly.

This Evil Spirit Clan possessed the best of both worlds. Its power was perhaps not inferior to even the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers! And… The most frightening thing was that it was invisible and hidden in the space, making it extremely difficult to defend himself against it.

Mu Chen knew that if he tried to launch an offensive attack at such a time, even if he were able to destroy some of the dark lights, he would still be enveloped in more dark lights, which would keep looking for any weakness in him. Faced with this kind of intense dark light, even if Mu Chen had a Divine Grade body, he would not dare to resist it head-on.

“It’s anywhere and everywhere!” Mu Chen exclaimed as his gaze flickered. He then took a deep breath and suddenly sat down in mid-air. At the same time, the Primordial Immortal Body that was in the crystal light behind him mirrored his exact actions.

“Immortal Ancient Scriptures!” As both of them sat down, the Primordial Immortal Body’s and Mu Chen’s mouths both opened and closed at the same time. Then, an ancient sound of chanting began to reverberate between heaven and earth.

The chanting of scriptures was as old as the beginning of heaven and earth. The sound waves soon turned into tangible substances, which spread out in all directions from Mu Chen, who was their source point.

The space then began to vibrate. When the innumerable dark lights that were hidden in it made contact with the spreading sound waves, the dark lights began to collapse.

Under his masked armor, Jiang Ya’s face twisted and his eyes were full of disbelief. He could not believe that Mu Chen had been able to resist his killing move!

Even the Clan Heads of the 32 Extraterritorial Clans were rather fearful of this move, with the exception of a few, such as the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor and the Dark Heaven Demon Emperor. At the moment, however, it had no effect on Mu Chen, and he was only a God Grade!

Go! Jiang Ya was appalled, and without any hesitation, he uttered a command in his heart. Immediately, innumerable dark lights displayed their murderous intent and charged towards Mu Chen’s most vital points.

Buzz!

However, as the chanting spread, no matter how hard the dark lights tried to approach it, they were reduced to nothing by the intense pressure of the sound waves. In just a few moments, the space, which was filled with perilous lights, had been completely emptied out by the powerful chants.

Whoosh!

Residual sound waves then enveloped Jiang Ya, who was in the distance. As the sound waves soared across Jiang Ya’s body, he trembled. Then, a deep black line appear on the thick armor. Then, as blood trickled down, the mask shattered, revealing his pale face.

As Mu Chen looked at him, his eyes were as calm as two deep pools.

“The Great Thousand World has many hidden prodigies indeed. Even one of its God Grades is so strong!” As Jiang Ya stared at Mu Chen, he spat out the words in a hoarse voice.

Mu Chen’s face was calm and his voice was indifferent as he said, “Retreat with your men! You must leave the Northern Wilderness Hill. The Extraterritorial Race is the scourge of the Great Thousand World, and we will not implicate any others.”

Jiang Ya shook his head, then said bitterly, “You can’t beat them.”

“Well… You are very strong, so in order to deal with you, I can only put my life on the line.” After saying this, Mu Chen remained silent.

Then, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and as his hands conjured up a strange seal, his low voice quietly rang out, “Evil Spirit Transformation!”

As he sucked in a deep breath, the dark violet purple layer on his body began to melt before it eventually turned into a liquid that he swallowed into his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Inside his body, there seemed to be two terrible forces that were colliding with each other, erupting with more power every moment that passed.

“He is inciting the evil energy and spiritual energy, causing them to collide with each other!” As Mu Chen saw this, his pupils contracted.

Such an impact from these two distinct forces was bound to explode with a terrible force. However, Mu Chen knew that this explosion would also cause Jiang Ya severe damage, maybe even death!

Boom! Boom!

Jiang Ya’s body began to shrink rapidly, and at the same time, it started to burst. A mass of blood mist sprayed into the air wildly.

In a short period of time, once the explosion stopped, a monster had appeared in the sky. The monster was a few feet tall, and his body was like a dry barren land, with cracks all over it.

As a black and purple light glinted in the monster’s eyes, unsettling runes also emerged. Wherever they appeared, they carried with them the glint of an evil and spiritual energy.

A destructive wave slowly emanated from the monster’s body, causing Maha Tian and Qing Yanjing, who were in the distance, to gasp in horror. Even they felt palpitations due to the fluctuation of the intense power.

Mu Chen’s face also became extremely solemn, as he could also feel an aura of mortal peril surrounding him. It certainly appeared that Jiang Ya was able to withstand even a later stage Divine Grade existence!

“If you meet me like this… You will die today!” Jiang Ya, who was not in his monster state, roared viciously, while his black and purple eyes glared murderously at Mu Chen.

Huff.

Mu Chen’s lips were tight, and as he took a slow, deep breath, he finally began to calm down.

“Even if you have now begun to fight with your all your might, what do I have to fear?” Mu Chen asked as he stared at Jiang Ya, his quiet voice containing a chilling murderous intent.

He then added, “Your Evil Spirit Clan may have numerous tragic backstories, and I do sympathize with you all. But, if you want try to make my relatives and friends face the same situation, then I will destroy you today!”

After he finished speaking, Mu Chen suddenly conjured up several seals. At the same time, the Primordial Immortal Body stood up from behind him, took a step forward, then fused with his body.

Far away, Qing Yanjing and the other Heavenly Sovereigns were appalled to see this scene. Qing Yanjing shrieked in fear, “That is the union of the physical and celestial bodies? Mu Chen, stop! Only a later stage Divine Grade can bear such a thing!”

Mu Chen closed his eyes and focused on blocking out all of the commotion, while a low voice chanted in his heart… The Union of Man and Spirit!
