4137 The Leader

“Into the ruins?”

“This…”

As soon as Ruler Gai Fu finished speaking, the omega Rulers present all frowned, a hint of hesitation flashing across their faces.

If it had been before today, when Ruler Gai Fu asked them if they wanted to enter the ruins in search of good fortune, they would have been more than willing. However, the message Ruler Gai Fu had just sent was that even Zhufeng King had died inside, this caused everyone to ponder this question.

After all, how powerful was Zhufeng?

He was one of the most powerful figures amongst the Omega Rulers. He was virtually invincible, and even he had died in the ruins. The Omega Rulers present all knew that if they encountered the same sort of danger, their chances of surviving would be even lower than Zhufeng’s, the chances of surviving would be even lower than Zhufeng’s.

A few of the weaker Omega Rulers immediately lowered their heads, afraid that Ruler Gai Fu would take a fancy to them and send them into the ruins.

“Ruler Blood Wave, I’ll leave the selection of the candidates to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.” Ruler Gai Fu glanced at Ruler Blood Wave, whoosh. His body flashed as he left the temple.

“Understood.”

Ruler Blood Wave nodded, then swept his gaze past the other Rulers in the meeting hall. He secretly shook his head.

He naturally knew what these people were thinking. However, he had no intention of choosing the weaker Omega Rulers from the very beginning.

He already had a candidate in mind for those who would enter the Tarot Ruins.

“Ruler Violet Eye.”

“Divine Emperor Thousand Leaves.”

“Marquis Qingfeng.”

…

Ruler Blood Wave called out five names in succession before he came to a halt.

These five people were all extremely powerful amongst the apex Omega Rulers.

The Ruler Violet Eye and Divine Emperor Thousand Leaves had both comprehended a hint of the principles of the universe. They were the most Supreme of the Supreme Rulers, and were not much weaker than Zhufeng.

The other three were all extremely powerful as well.

“Are the five of you willing to go to the Tarot Ruins in search of good fortune and investigate the death of Zhufeng’s squad?” Ruler Blood Wave asked.

The five who had been called by Ruler Blood Wave looked at each other, then frowned.

“Ruler Blood Wave.” The Ruler Violet Eye had a pair of bizarre violet eyes, in a low voice, he said, “It shouldn’t be a problem for us to go to the primordial ruinworld. However, the Zhufeng’s squad met with some mishaps within the ruinworld. Our squad might not be any weaker than the Zhufeng’s squad, but none of us are a match for him in terms of personal strength. It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to go to the ruinworld as a squad.”

“You are right. Even Zhufeng’s squad met with misfortune. If it was just the five of you, it wouldn’t have been enough. That’s why I’ve already chosen a leader for you.”Ruler Blood Wave smiled calmly. “Nine tribulation!”

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly appeared in the center of the temple. It was the white-haired youth, Ninth Kalpa King.

Upon seeing Ninth Kalpa King, the eyes of Ruler Violet Eye and the others, who had been worried for a moment, immediately lit up.

Ninth Kalpa King was the most powerful Ruler of the Life Palace. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most powerful Ruler of the entire universe.

He was capable of fighting against an Ruler head-on. If no Ruler appeared within the ancient ruins, who would be a match for Ninth Kalpa King?

If Ninth Kalpa King was the leader of this squad, the risk would be much lower.

“Ninth Kalpa King.”

Ruler Blood Wave looked down at the Ninth Kalpa King. “You will be the leader of this team.”

“Yes!” The Ninth Kalpa King took a step forward, a look of uncontrollable delight on his face.

Ten thousand years ago, he had wanted to go to the Tarot Ruins as soon as they had emerged. However, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders at the time, which was why he had let Zhufeng take the lead and head to the Tarot Ruins.

Now that Zhufeng King was dead, the Life Palace needed to send another squad to the Tarot Ruins. He had been eyeing the squad for a long time, and even if Ruler Blood Wave hadn’t mentioned it, he would have volunteered to go, they were going to the Tarot Ruins.

Ruler Blood Wave nodded, then turned to look at the other Omega Rulers in the meeting hall.

“We are willing!” Ruler Violet Eye and the others, who had been called by their names, cupped their hands.

Ruler Blood Wave nodded in satisfaction. The weakest of the five, including the Ninth Kalpa King, was at the peak of the Omega Ruler level of power. There were also nearly invincible Omega Rulers like Ruler Violet Eye and Divine Emperor Thousand Leaves, as for the Ninth Kalpa King, he was a Ruler with perfect combat power. Even if they were not able to find the treasures within the ancient ruins, they should be able to escape unscathed.

“Well, the six of you go back and get ready. We’ll set off for the Tarot Ruins in three months!” Ruler Blood Wave ordered.

“Yes!” Ninth Kalpa King and the others answered.

“All right, except for Jian Wushuang, the rest of you can leave.” Ruler Blood Wave waved his hand, and the Ultimate Rulers dispersed.

When they walked out of the meeting hall, they could not help but look at Jian Wushuang, who had been specifically named by Ruler Blood Wave, and a strange look appeared on their faces.

As the Ultimate Rulers left, the meeting hall became quiet. Ruler Blood Wave and Supreme Giant Axe, who had been keeping a straight face, could not help smiling when they looked at Jian Wushuang.

“Little guy, you broke through to the fourth level of the Ruler realm in 3,000 years, which is faster than I expected,” Ruler Blood Wave said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang immediately cupped his hands and said, “I have to thank Senior Blood Wave for his guidance. If Senior Blood Wave didn’t tell me about the Enlightenment River, I wouldn’t have broken through to the fourth level of the Ruler realm so quickly.”

“Haha, the Enlightenment River is not a secret in the Life Palace. You’ll know about it after you ask around. There’s no need to thank me,” Ruler Blood Wave said with a bright smile.

The three did not say anything more. Jian Wushuang asked, “Ruler Blood Wave, you must have asked me to stay here for the Tarot Ruins, right?”

As soon as he entered the meeting hall, Jian Wushuang had noticed that all the people present were Ultimate Rulers. However, Ruler Blood Wave had specially sent him a message to ask a fourth-level Ruler to come. Then, when the meeting was over…Ruler Blood Wave had specifically asked him to stay. Naturally, it was not just to chat with him, but because it was related to the Tarot Ruins.

“Yes.” Ruler Blood Wave nodded, he said, “It is indeed related to the Tarot Ruins. As you know, the ancient ruins and the one left by an invincible Supreme-being contain countless opportunities and fortunes. Many of them will be incredibly useful to you, who is only at the level of a Ruler.”
