The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1425

When Mu Chen’s figure landed on the white stone platform where Elder Hei Guang was, the whole world was still in shock and everyone was silent. The silence lasted for a long time.

At last, someone murmured in disbelief, “That’s rumored to be one of the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers in the world, the Eight Budur.”

As these supreme powers had also experienced extraordinary encounters, they gradually recognized Mu Chen’s formidable Super Power. The destructive power of that dark beam of light caused many Heavenly Sovereigns’ scalps to become numb.

“Who would have thought that he would really succeed in cultivating the Eight Budur?” one of the elders wondered aloud.

The elders of the Budur Ancient Clan, especially those of the Xuan and Mo lineages were the most envious of Mu Chen. They seemed almost eager to snatch away such a Super Power from him! After all, as they were Heavenly Sovereigns, they knew that, with the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers, they could be invincible among their peers.

In the mountain where Mu Chen was at, Qing Shuang covered her mouth excitedly. Even someone as calm as her could not help but to shiver at the sight.

Originally, they had thought that their Qing lineage would be dealt a devastating blow, but with Mu Chen’s emergence, there were signs that the tides just might turn in their favor!

“Come on, Mu Chen! You can do it,” Qing Shuang murmured.

Beside her, Ling Xi patted her shoulder with a smile, which helped Qing Shuang to gradually calm down.

“Sister Ling Xi, will Mu Chen win?” Qing Shuang, a hint of expectation in her voice. She knew that, even though Mu Chen had won two rounds, his next opponent would be stronger.

Ling Xi smiled gently and said, “Rest assured. Since Mu Chen has decided to strike, he naturally must be confident that he can win. Now, we just have to wait and see.”

Qing Shuang nodded vigorously as she gazed at the figure in the distance, a hopeful glint flashing in her eyes.

On another mountain, Lin Jing clapped cheerfully, smiled, then said, “Mu Chen’s win was so beautiful.”

During these two battles, Mu Chen struck at full force, even at the expense of exposing two trump cards. In this way, the battle outcomes were astonishing, and with just two moves, he had attained a quick and easy victory. Everyone was now brimming with excitement.

Xiao Xiao, who was beside them, nodded lightly, her eyes full of appreciation.

“It seems that Mu Chen has a strong grudge against the Budur Ancient Clan.” Yao Chen chuckled. He was extremely perceptive, and he saw at just a glance that Mu Chen had done this intentionally. He had clearly come here to assuage the rage he had carried for more than 20 years.

This fury was over a separated couple, his father, who had been lonely for many years, and his mother, who had been imprisoned for many years. This was why he wanted to win his victory via close battles, while conquering his opponents swiftly and thunderously! In this way, the Xuan lineage would be utterly humiliated.

“But, this way of fighting can only be executed with absolute certainty, and if his opponent is on par with him, the one who exposes his cards first will be afraid of losing some opportunities,” Lin Diao commented.

However, his face showed a hint of admiration, as since Mu Chen had chosen this way of fighting, it was a clear sign of his self-confidence. He had seen a similar kind of self-confidence in Lin Dong.

…

Amid the silence of heaven and earth, Elder Hei Guang, who was on the white stone platform, looked at the youth in front of him sombrely. Fear flickered in his gaze briefly as he stared at Mu Chen.

The means that Mu Chen had just revealed, including the creepy purple flames and the overbearing Eight Budur, had struck fear in his heart. Even though his strength was stronger than Xuan Hai’s and Xuan Feng’s and he was at the later stage of a Spiritual Grade level, in the face of the intimidating Mu Chen, he did not feel very confident.

Da*n! Why is this guy so strong? Hei Guang cursed in his heart, immediately regretting his decision. He did not regret provoking Mu Chen, but regretted not killing Mu Chen back when he was just a Complete Earthly Sovereign.

Even if hadn’t actually killed him, he should have, at the very least, disposed of his powers, so that he would become an imbecile. In that way, there would have been no disaster today.

“Are you wondering why you didn’t kill me in the first place?” Mu Chen stared at him and smiled as he asked.

Upon hearing these words, Hei Guang immediately shivered. He could feel that, although Mu Chen was smiling, there was a chilling murderous intent in his words.

But, since he was an elder of the Budur Ancient Clan and his position was prominent, he soon gradually calmed down. He then stared at Mu Chen eerily and said, “Mu Chen, don’t go overboard. It’s good that young people have a strong fighting spirit, but if it is too much, I’m afraid you will break easily.”

“If you think that your Xuan lineage is capable, you’re welcome to try and break me,” Mu Chen replied casually.

“You!” Hei Guang was furious and incredibly annoyed.

“Are you not going to strike?” Mu Chen stared at him as he asked in an indifferent tone. He then stretched out his hand as spiritual light flickered on it. “If you don’t do it, then I’m going to do it.”

Hearing this, Hei Guang grit his teeth. Then, just as he was ready to summon his spiritual power, he suddenly heard a transmission of a voice, “Hei Guang, activate the black magic and show no mercy. Even if you can’t win, destroy his fighting spirit. Someone will take care of him.”

After hearing this transmission, Hei Guang’s gaze suddenly flashed, while he subtly glanced at the Xuan Lineage Head, Xuan Guang. This transmission obviously came from him.

Should I activate the black magic? Hei Guang hesitated, as he knew if he did so, it would greatly weaken him, and it would take at least half a year to regain his strength.

However, he also understood Xuan Guang’s intentions. Mu Chen’s fighting spirit was too intimidating now, so even if it was impossible for Mu Chen to win four rounds, he could still humiliate their Xuan lineage.

At present, many supreme powers were watching the ceremony. If news spread that their Xuan lineage was trounced by a perpetrator, they would undoubtedly lose face. Thus, in any case, Hei Guang could no longer allow Mu Chen to achieve as much as he did before.

He must stop him and break his sharp spirit! In the fourth round, they could send out the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Then, he would be able to deal with Mu Chen effortlessly!

Alright.

After hesitating for a moment, Hei Guang grit his teeth in determination. Seeing Mu Chen’s previous means, even he was not sure if he could take Mu Chen on, he figured that he might as well give it his all.

Hei Guang sneered sarcastically. “Mu Chen, you should be careful to not be too complacent!”

Boom!

Suddenly, millions of spiritual lights intertwined behind Hei Guang as a huge Sovereign Celestial Appearance appeared. At the same time, a vast storm of spiritual power raged throughout the heaven and earth.

As soon as this Sovereign Celestial Appearance appeared, Hei Guang took a deep breath and conjured many mystical seals with both of his hands. At the same time, the Sovereign Celestial Appearance, which was behind him, mirrored his actions.

In the distance, as Qing Tian, Qing Xuan, and the other elders saw this scene, their pupils immediately shrank. Qing Tian then exclaimed in horror, “How shameless! It’s Spiritual Black Magic!”

As they were all startled, Hei Guang smiled maliciously at Mu Chen and said, “Since you are so aggressive, don’t blame me for being vicious.”

His stomach then swelled abruptly, and at the same time, the Sovereign Celestial Appearance also swelled. In the next moment, he opened his mouth and spat.

A star-like torrent surged out of the mouths of both Hei Guang and his Sovereign Celestial Appearance, the momentum of which seemed as if it could destroy everything in its path! As the star-like torrent roared out, Hei Guang’s body began to quickly dry up, while the Sovereign Celestial Appearance began to fade. It was as if all of their life forces had turned into an endless stream of stars.

Many Heavenly Sovereigns were horrified to see this. One of them exclaimed in terror, “Hei Guang has gone insane! How could he dissolve his Sovereign Celestial Appearance?”

The Sovereign Celestial Appearance was one of the greatest forces that a Heavenly Sovereign possessed, and if it broke down, it would have to be re-condensed all over again. The time and energy that this would take would be massive, and there may even be some permanent damage. As such, very few people used such drastic means.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, the stars roared past, enveloping Mu Chen within them. Such majesty seemed as if it could even wear down the sun and moon!

The sovereigns were solemn upon seeing this scene. They couldn’t believe that Hei Guang had chosen to use such desperate measures to erode Mu Chen’s fighting spirit, all in order to preserve the Xuan lineage’s reputation!

“Hei Guang is really vicious! Mu Chen is really in trouble now,” one of the sovereigns exclaimed.
