The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

“Has she succeeded?”

Clan Leader Tianhuang, Elder Lu, and the other elders from the Nine Netherbird Clan stood on the mountain peak in the distance and looked happily at the Black Phoenix in the sky as they trembled with excitement. They could feel the oppression coming down from the sky, and it triggered the bloodline in their bodies.

All the Nine Netherbird Clan members possessed the bloodline of the Undying Bird, but only a handful of them managed to activate it. As for the evolution of the Undying Bird, it was rarely seen. Thus, after Nine Nether had successfully evolved into the Primordial Undying Bird, everyone in the clan felt the oppression in their bloodline.

“Elder Lu, has Nine Nether stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign level?” Clan Leader Tianhuang asked excitedly. He had felt the vast ancient spiritual energy, but he was not sure which level Nine Nether had stepped into.

Elder Lu was impressed after he carefully sensed it and said, “Nine Nether has already reached the later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level.”

The cultivation in divine beasts and human beings was different. Human beings had to move their way up one step at a time, but divine beasts could be stuck for years without making any progress. However, once they broke through the shackles, they could advance tremendously within a short period of time and reach a level beyond what one could imagine. Thus, in terms of spiritual energy, Nine Nether was at a higher level than Mu Chen.

“The later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!” Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders were elated when they heard it. For the past few years, their Nine Netherbird Clan had been depending on Elder Lu, a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, to back them up. They had managed to squeeze to the top of the Divine Beast Clans due to Elder Lu’s efforts, but when they were faced with challenges, they lost their competitiveness. Elder Lu was getting old, and he was progressing slowly in his cultivation. It seemed impossible for him to have any breakthrough.

Nine Nether’s success in her evolution had helped their Nine Netherbird Clan get out of this situation. She had transformed into the Primordial Undying Bird, which was a Sovereign Divine Beast. In terms of power, she could be ranked within the top three among the Sovereign Divine Beasts.

With Nine Nether around, not only would the Divine Beast Clans be wary of the Nine Netherbird Clan, but so would the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans. No one would dare to oppress them now.

Boom! Boom!

As they were still feeling joyful, they suddenly heard deep thunder resounding in the sky. They turned pale as they looked up at the sky and asked, “Why are there still Thunder Tribulations?” They saw thick thunder clouds suddenly gather in the sky. The fluctuations were so tyrannical that they were taken aback.

“Those are not targeted at Nine Nether!” Elder Lu said as his gaze froze.

Clan Leader Tianhuang was stunned. If the Thunder Tribulation was not targeted at Nine Nether, who was it targeting? However, he quickly came back to himself and looked in the direction where Mu Chen was located. He saw huge Blood Eggs among the Blood Clouds above Mu Chen, and they indistinctly exuded powerful fluctuations.

“What is in the Blood Eggs? Why do they cause so much fear in us?” Clan Leader Tianhuang asked softly. The Blood Aura in the Blood Clouds had deterred them from seeing what was inside the Blood Eggs, and even Elder Lu could not tell what was in them.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder resounded continuously in the sky, catching Mu Chen’s attention. He fixed his gaze on the black thunder clouds and frowned as he sensed the destructive fluctuations in them. He noticed that the power of the thunder clouds was mightier than what Nine Nether had experienced.

He was immediately enlightened when he realized that it was due to the fact that the real dragon and real phoenix were transforming. They were as powerful as the Primordial Undying Bird, and since there were two of them that were about to be produced, the Thunder Tribulations would naturally be more powerful.

“I hope that they can withstand the tribulations,” Mu Chen said as he looked at the two huge Blood Eggs. The real dragon and real phoenix had to depend on themselves to withstand the Thunder Tribulations, as no external power was able to help them.

Boom!

As Mu Chen was muttering to himself, the thick black thunder clouds swirled and caused the area to darken. Two black lightning bolts whizzed down like huge dragons and blasted the Blood Eggs.

Dong!

The sky quaked, and vast Blood Aura surged on the two Blood Eggs. It looked as though part of the Blood Aura had been taken away.

Boom! Boom!

The first attack had no effect on the Blood Eggs, and the oncoming Thunder Tribulations became more violent. Thunderous sounds filled the sky, and as the black lightning blasted down crazily on the Blood Eggs, the array caused even Elder Lu to become fearful. The huge Blood Eggs started to shrink at a visible pace under such crazy attacks.

When Mu Chen saw it, he clasped his hands together and squashed the three Quasi-Holy Blood Pellets that were now about the size of a fist. In the next instant, they turned into vast Blood Aura and shot into the Blood Eggs. With the strong support of the majestic Blood Aura, the layers of clouds covering the Blood Eggs thickened again…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Apparently, it was temporal. As the lightning continued to blast the Blood Eggs, the Blood Eggs started to grow smaller in size.

When Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders saw it, they became worried. Although they did not know what Mu Chen was doing, they knew that the two Blood Eggs did not seem able to withstand the Thunder Tribulations.

Instead of worrying, Mu Chen became more relaxed. He could feel two strong, powerful fluctuations taking shape in the Blood Eggs.

The black thunder clouds continued to shrink and took the form of a funnel. Horrifying lightning gathered together and turned into a huge Black Lightning Beam that came down from the sky. When the Lightning Beam was halfway down, it broke apart and turned into a Black Lightning Dragon and a Black Lightning Phoenix. The power was so great that it could flatten a huge mountain.

At this moment, the two Blood Eggs started to crack. After that, the loud cries of a dragon and phoenix resounded in the area. Bright light shot up into the sky, and Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders’ eyes widened. They saw a huge, bright dragon and a huge phoenix stretching out their bodies.

Golden light flowed on the huge dragon’s body, and the dragon’s scales emitted a mysterious light. The dragon moved around with a mighty force, carrying with it a destructive power. Ancient runes were imprinted on the dragon’s scales, and they looked extremely abstruse.

The huge phoenix seemed to be formed by gold, and it was awe-inspiring. Golden magma flowed on its feathers, and as the magma dripped down, it melted the void. Two horrifying oppressions swirled out from the sky and caused Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders to turn pale.

“These… these are the real dragon and the real phoenix!” Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders shouted out in amazement, and they could not believe what they saw. As a member of the divine beasts, naturally they could vividly feel the oppression that was coming out from the mighty force. They were the real dragon and real phoenix, and not any illusory objects!

“How can this be?” Elder Lu was shocked and said in disbelief, “How can Mu Chen breed the real dragon and real phoenix!?”

The real dragon and real phoenix belonged to the royal families in the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, and their bloodline was precious. Even within the two clans, it was extremely difficult to breed the real dragon and real phoenix, but Mu Chen had managed to do it!

As Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders looked on in disbelief, the real dragon and real phoenix flew up into the sky and collided with the Lightning Dragon and Lightning Phoenix that were coming down from the sky.

Boom! Boom!

The area quaked, and lightning shot all over the sky. As the lightning raged out, the mighty real dragon and the mysterious real phoenix cried out. Although they were struck by the lightning, they looked unscathed. Spiritual energy fluctuations burst out from their bodies, and their power rose up crazily to an amazing level. In just a short while, they had broken through the shackles and stepped into the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!

Hiss…

Elder Lu gasped and said in amazement, “The real dragon and real phoenix have reached the initial stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!”

Clan Leader Tianhuang and the other elders looked at one another and were too shocked to say a word. No one had expected Mu Chen to be able to breed the real dragon and real phoenix, and the moment they appeared, they had stepped into the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level!

“They have reached the God Grade…” Mu Chen was surprised by the outcome. He had thought that the real dragon and real phoenix would reach the later stage of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign level at most, but they had immediately stepped into the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level. They were more powerful than he was.

However… Mu Chen furrowed his brows when he looked at the real dragon and real phoenix flying in the sky. From what he had sensed, the real dragon and real phoenix did not have the spiritual intelligence that they should possess. In certain aspects, the real dragon and real phoenix were similar to the replicas that he had cultivated.

However, Mu Chen did not mind it as much. The real dragon and real phoenix had originated from him, thus it seemed impossible for them to possess their own spiritual intelligence.

Mu Chen waved his sleeve, and the real dragon and real phoenix cried out. They turned into a golden light and came down from the sky. When they landed, the real dragon turned into a small snake and entered Mu Chen’s sleeve, whereas the real phoenix turned into a small golden bird and landed on his shoulder.

When Mu Chen felt the mysterious bond between him and the real dragon and real phoenix, he could not help feeling pleased. After grooming them for so many years, they had finally grown up.

The Black Phoenix in the sky that was in black flames had landed. It turned into a tall and slender figure. When all of them turned to look at her, they found her stunning, including Mu Chen.

Nine Nether looked different than before. She had a black dress wrapped around her slender body, and her legs were long and lean. Her long hair fell down on her shoulders, and she had a mysterious and elegant look on her cold face. Her bright eyes were like black holes that were burning with fire, and they were dark and captivating.

Nine Nether used to look cold and wild. However, after the transformation, she was filled with a mysterious charm, and the royal bloodline in her made her look elegant and unapproachable.

When Nine Nether noticed Mu Chen looking at her, she looked at him, and the familiar smile appeared on her face. When Mu Chen saw her smiling at him, he smiled back. No matter how Nine Nether transformed, she was still the same Nine Nether who had protected him…
