The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1399

This was a gloomy world, as its sun and moon were very dark. They emitted a gray light that enveloped the endless world.

Buzz!

Suddenly, there was a strange wave that turned into a huge spatial whirlpool. It immediately attracted many powerful beings’ attentions. Everyone looked towards the end of the whirlpool, which seemed to be connected to the Lower Plane, and couldn’t help but comment about it…

“Someone actually triggered the Demon Summoning Talisman…”

“Looking at the fluctuation, it should be the Fiend Blood Tribe. Who would have thought that the small clan would have a Demon Emperor? He’s really good at hiding!”

“But, it is a small clan that has a weak background. Otherwise, why would it have been forced to use the Demon Summoning Talisman?”

“This talisman can only lead to the arrival of one Demon Emperor, depending on who has that interest…”

One by one, demonic thoughts interacted between heaven and earth, but no Demon Emperor really wanted to intervene. After all, the Lower Plane had been sucked dry by the Fiend Blood Tribe, and their value was not particularly large. Furthermore, the situation was unclear at the moment, so it would be unwise to rush into anything.

As some of the Demon Emperors thought about this, in the space that was filled with corpse gas, a dark figure was closing his eyes on a majestic throne that was made of bones. At this time, he seemed to sense something and opened his eyes abruptly.

His eyes pierced through space into the Lower Plane. Finally, his gaze landed on a young figure, while a chilling glint flashed in his grey-white eyes.

“This man has the lingering aura of death that was left by my child. I suppose he must be the one who murdered my child.” The dark figure looked at the young figure coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve, he detached his dark palm from his body.

It then turned into a black light that shattered the void. In just a few moments, it appeared before the whirlpool of space and fell into it. This scene, caught the attention of many of the Demon Emperors, and when they sensed the person who had just made the move, they were all shocked.

“It’s actually the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor from the Corpse Devil Clan! Why would he strike?” one of them wondered aloud.

The Corpse Devil Clan was one of the 32 clans of the Extraterritorial Race, and the dark figure who had just struck was the Clan Leader of the Corpse Devil Clan! He was a Heaven Demon Emperor and was one of the strongest among the Extraterritorial Race!

Generally, such existences would not strike easily, but now that he had suddenly taken action, it was natural for the other Demon Emperors to be shocked and bewildered. Although the Heaven Demon Emperor had simply turned his hand into the embodiment of himself and sent it into the Lower Plane, the power of a Heaven Demon Emperor would ensure that, even if it was only being emitted from his hand, it was a power that was far from what an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign would possess!

“It seems that the Heavenly Sovereign in the Lower Plane has offended this Lord… Haha, poor thing…” Many demons began to retreat. Now that a Heaven Demon Emperor had struck, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World was doomed.

…

In the Lower Plane.

As Mu Chen looked at the space passage that was connected with the other side of the world, his gaze turned solemn. Then, he immediately thought of a move. He quickly transformed his vast power into a giant hand, which covered the sun and struck the space whirlpool, trying to smash it into pieces.

Bang!

The heaven and earth trembled, but the space whirlpool only shook a little, yet was not broken. At this time, Mu Chen could sense an indescribable aura of evil emanating from the end of the space.

As soon as that aura appeared, it shrouded the whole world and countless creatures trembled and whined. Even the ground rumbled and shook!

“This aura…” Mu Chen’s pupils contracted, as he was no stranger to this gas.

In fact, he had experienced it before, when he had encountered the Prince of the Corpse Devil Clan. However, it was obvious that the aura of death this time was many times stronger than the prince’s had been.

The Blood Demon Emperor glanced at the space passageway and was astonished. A moment later, he exclaimed in shock, “Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor?”

Although the Demon Summoning Talisman could attract the emperors to come to his aid, the Blood Demon Emperor never thought that he would lead this existence over. Even within the whole Extraterritorial Race realm, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was the pinnacle of all of the existences.

As such, the existence of such a figure would not have heeded his invitation at all. But, no matter how shocked he was, it was the truth. He was indeed here!

The Blood Demon Emperor looked at Mu Chen again. He then shook his head and sneered. “You are truly unlucky…”

If this was just an ordinary Demon Emperor, perhaps Mu Chen could have still remained undefeated. However, this was the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor from the Corpse Devil Clan!

Mu Chen ignored his mocking, while he looked gravely at the end of the space, where the aura of death had seeped in. It was clear that the Heaven Demon Emperor was breaking the shackles of his plane and trying to descend upon it.

It was obvious that the Heaven Demon Emperor had unimaginable power, as even the sturdy plane shackles were breaking at an amazing rate. In a matter of minutes, Mu Chen saw a black light appear, while a dark, bony palm stretched out of it.

The dark palm gave off a black light as it gradually twisted, then finally turned into a dark figure. The figure stood outside the plane, like a Demon God. As his piercing gaze locked onto Mu Chen, his emotionless voice was heard from outside the sky, ringing in every corner of the world.

“Are you the one who killed my son?” he asked Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s gaze grew solemn. He finally understood why he had attracted the Heaven Demon Emperor from the Corpse Devil Clan here. Apparently, he had caused this trouble by killing the emperor’s son.

Before the prince died, he had wrapped his aura around Mu Chen’s body. But, in the past, he was in the Great Thousand World, so naturally, the Heaven Demon Emperor from the Corpse Devil Clan could not sense it.

However, since the Blood Demon Emperor had connected with the territory of the Extraterritorial Race, the Heaven Demon Emperor was now aware of the scent of death upon Mu Chen. Realizing this, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and nodded calmly.

“Since that is the case, I will take you back today and turn you into a Corpse Puppet.” Although the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor spoke calmly, his voice was filled with cruelty and killing intent.

When Mu Chen heard his words, he laughed and said, “I’m afraid it won’t be what you want.”

“Oh?” The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor smirked coldly, while he looked down on the entire plane and mocked Mu Chen. “Did you think that by becoming the Worldly Lord of this plane, you could be on par with me?”

“I’m not so arrogant to think such a thing.” Mu Chen smiled. No matter how confident he was at this time, he would not feel that he had the ability to battle a Heaven Demon Emperor, even if he was just a manifestation of his palm.

“What the heck are you doing?” The Blood Demon Emperor sneered at Mu Chen, as he did not understand his behavior.

The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor frowned as a black light emerged in his eyes. Mu Chen’s behavior was indeed a little strange.

“In any case, I will capture you and kill you.” As he spoke the black light in his eyes surged and he stretched out his palm.

The corpse gas permeated the air and bombarded the plane violently. Then, the entire plane trembled, the sky broke apart, and the earth capsized.

In the face of the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s power, which was capable of destroying heaven and earth, Mu Chen was utterly calm. He closed his eyes, letting the Heaven Demon Emperor attack the world violently.

“You are just going to shut your eyes and wait for death?” The Blood Demon Emperor made a sarcastic comment, trying to distract Mu Chen.

His calmness clearly made him a little uneasy. However, Mu Chen still ignored him.

Boom!

The world continued to shake, while Bai Susu and Reverend White Dragon looked horrified beyond the distant void. They could only see a terrible corpse gas pouring in through the plane shackles.

Under the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s attack, the whole plane was crumbling, and it was about to be broken! However, at this moment, Mu Chen’s eyes finally opened and a serene smile appeared on his handsome face.

Beyond the plane, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor looked at Mu Chen and frowned. Then, with just a point of his finger, the corpse gas gathered continuously, then turned into a large skull. The skull screeched and charged forward, wanting to tear apart the entire plane.

However, just when the skull was about to make contact with the barrier, a raging thunder rumbled beyond the plane. The endless thunder broke into the void and rolled in from an unknown location, then blew the corpse gas skull into smithereens!

“Who dares to get in my way?” Seeing this, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor’s pupils contracted as he roared.

Mu Chen let out a small puff of white air, then said with a smile, “You have finally arrived.”

He then unclenched his fist slowly, while dust trickled out of his fingers. At this time, the space had been completely torn apart, and it seemed as if there was a sea of thunder that was howling out of it.

Above the sea of thunder, a wistful figure, who was holding a Lightning Staff, stepped out of the void and appeared outside of the plane. The vast thunder rang through the sky as a deep authoritative voice was heard, “If the Heaven Demon Emperor wants to find an opponent, you can come to my Martial Border. Why display your power in this small Lower Plane? Did you really think there was no one who could rival you in the Great Thousand World?”
