The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1252

After the fight between Mu Chen and Xue Lingzi, Mu Chen became quite well-known in the Battlefield of the Earthly Sovereigns. This was because he had killed an Upper Earthly Sovereign!

Everyone in The Great Thousand World knew that an Earthly Sovereign possessed a strong will to live. As such, it might be possible to defeat them, but it would be very tough to kill them!

The three Holy Sons from the Western Kingdom War Temple became famous in the Western Kingdom Continent after they had killed Upper Earthly Sovereigns. However, now that a Lower Earthly Sovereign had come up with the same results, it really caused quite a stir! Now, regarding certain aspects, Mu Chen's power was even more awe-inspiring and mightier than the three Holy Sons'!

Now, no one dared to trifle with Mu Chen, including those who had previously mentioned that they wanted to fight him on behalf of the Western Kingdom Continent.

After all, Mu Chen had no qualms about killing Xue Lingzi. Also, as he was a revengeful person, it would be silly to provoke him.

Mu Chen took this opportunity of relative calm in order to spend time studying the Three Spirits Battle Array. He quickly managed to master it. After all, the Battle Array was not very difficult to cultivate, beside its few stringent requirements.

After he mastered the Three Spirits Battle Array, he went to the battlefield again. However, this time, he took on an offensive approach.

Whenever he came across any Upper Earthly Sovereigns, he would wipe them out with his Spirit-slaughtering Troop and Demon Subduing Troop. Given his current strength, he had no problem contending with even the highest ranking Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

He had also used the crystal spiritual energy to seal off his enemy's spiritual energy secretly during the fights, and by the time they realized it, it was too late! They had no choice but to admit defeat.

For those who admitted defeat, Mu Chen did not kill them like he had Xue Lingzi. The reason why he had killed Xue Lingzi was because he was Luo Li's arch-enemy and had also used many cunning devices against Mu Chen.

As Mu Chen held no grudges against the other Upper Earthly Sovereigns, he had no reason to kill them. Moreover, even if he did kill them, it would not matter, as he was not based in the Western Kingdom Continent. However, his killing them would implicate the Luo God Clan, as then the Upper Earthly Sovereigns would isolate them and become their enemy.

Mu Chen definitely did not want that to happen. Thus, he simply took the Battle Seals from the Upper Earthly Sovereigns when they admitted defeat. then let them go.

Mu Chen's name became even more well-known, so when the Upper Earthly Sovereigns saw that his fighting spirit had risen up, they stayed far away from him. After all, Mu Chen was the dark horse! As such, in the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns, only the few most influential people would be able to deal with him.

Boom!

At that moment, a majestic fighting spirit swirled out like an ocean and covered the sky. Wherever the fighting spirit passed through, the entire area would quake.

A man, who was dressed in green, looked bitter as he stood on the Fighting Spirit Ocean. He had not expected himself to be so unlucky.

Earlier in the day, he had been scared out of his wits when he had met the Star Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen. Now, after escaping from Liu Xingchen, he had met with this renowned opponent.

Everyone in the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns knew about Mu Chen. He had defeated more than 10 Upper Earthly Sovereigns with his two troops and had achieved astounding results. Although the man in green was reputable in the Western Kingdom Continent and had great strength, he knew that he could not defeat Mu Chen.

The man in green could feel a dangerous fluctuation from the Fighting Spirit Ocean. The fluctuation was not from the fighting spirit, but was indeed a threatening power.

After he failed to break through the Fighting Spirit Ocean, he lifted up his hand and said, "I admit defeat!"

The Fighting Spirit Ocean opened up at that moment as Mu Chen walked toward him with a smile. The man in green shook his head and immediately waved his sleeve, causing four Battle Seals to fly out toward Mu Chen.

Mu Chen caught the four Battle Seals easily and cupped his fist at the man in green. He then smiled and said, "Thanks for letting me win."

"You are indeed amazing, and I admit defeat. I am looking forward to seeing your fights with the three Holy Sons of the Western Kingdom War Temple, Liu Xingchen, Sword Deity Lang Ya, and Ba Dao. I would like to see who is the most powerful among you," the man in green said with a smile.

He knew that he could not defeat Mu Chen, so he had immediately admitted defeat. Having said that, he disappeared from the area.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes as he watched him disappear. The number of people in the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns had now dwindled, and those who were still around were the creams of the crop.

The six people mentioned by the man in green were the popular candidates that were all vying for the position of the Child of the Continent. As such, even Mu Chen was wary of them. After all, it would not be easy to vie with them over the one and only position.

Mu Chen shook his head as this thought ran through his mind. He then calmed himself down.

As he waved his sleeve, a screen appeared before him. A list of Battle Seals Rankings appeared on the screen. Ling Zhanzi from the Western Kingdom War Temple was ranked number one. He possessed 30 Battle Seals!

Next on the list was Liu Xingchen, who possessed 25 Battle Seals. The number of Battle Seals that were possessed by the two Holy Sons of the Western Kingdom War Temple, Sword Deity Lang Ya, and Ba Dao Chu Men, were pretty close to the latter. Mu Chen was ranked number seven, and he possessed 18 Battle Seals.

"It will be so difficult to catch up with them," Mu Chen said under his breath, while he looked at the screen and saw that there were only about 10 people left for him to fight.

Soon, he knew that he would have to deal with the six of them who were ranked in front of him. Those would definitely be fierce fights!

However, Mu Chen was not the least bit afraid, as he was filled with an immense fighting spirit. Although the six of them were reputable, it would be impossible to get him to admit defeat!

Also, he still possessed a trump card that he had yet to use. Once Mu Chen displayed the Qi into Trinity, he believed that, even without the Battle Array and Spiritual Array, he would even be able to fight those who were on a higher level than him.

As Mu Chen was deep in thought, he suddenly lifted up his head and noticed a streamer that was darting towards him. It turned out to be a middle-aged man with white hair. He looked refined and mild and was robed in a black robe that had starry prints on it.

When Mu Chen saw this man, the fighting spirit around him whizzed out. This middle-aged man was the Star Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen, who was ranked number two. Liu Xingchen lowered his head to look at Mu Chen's majestic Fighting Spirit Ocean in amazement, then smiled warmly at him.

When Mu Chen noticed his friendly demeanor, he was shocked and withdrew some of his fighting spirit. Liu Xingchen did not say a word to Mu Chen, but simply cupped his fist and looked into the distance. He then turned into a streamer and darted out in another direction.

Mu Chen frowned as he watched him leave. Mu Chen was baffled by Liu Xingchen's actions, but he soon felt another fluctuation from the sky.

At that moment, afterimages appeared in the sky. In an instant, an ordinary-looking person appeared above him, carrying a dangerous aura with him.

Mu Chen squinted his eyes when he saw the person. It was Ling Zhanzi, the First Holy Son of the Western Kingdom War Temple!

Ling Zhanzi simply looked at Mu Chen, then headed in the same direction as Liu Xingchen. When Mu Chen saw this, he turned grave.

Ling Zhanzi had gone after Liu Xingchen! Apparently, the fight between the number one and number two ranks was about to begin!

The fight over the Child of the Continent had come to the final stage of elimination. However, it was still unknown as to who would have the last laugh.

Would it be Ling Zhanzi or Liu Xingchen?
