The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1509-30041322

The massive golden palm swiftly descended from the sky. Like the palm of the gods, it was full of destruction, as if anything that stood in its way would be turned into dust. This blow was prompted by the perfect fusion of Mu Chen’s Divine Grade physical body and his own spiritual power at the middle stage of God Grade. Even ordinary Divine Grades could only retreat from it when it came to a fight of power. Outside the city, all the sovereigns were solemn, looking at Mu Chen in fear and wariness.

Maha You’s face was red with fury as fear and hints of indignation surged in his gaze. To think that half a year ago, Mu Chen could only compete with him equally, but now, the distance between the two was like a gulf. Mu Chen’s blow could easily destroy him thousands of times.

“Son of a b*tch, do you think you can beat my brother with these means? What a dream!” Maha You looked ferocious with his eyes fixed on the sky. He looked forward to Maha Tian wrecking Mu Chen in order to vent the hatred in his heart.

In the sky, under the gazes of countless sovereigns, Maha Tian looked with a dark gaze at the palm massive enough to shield the sun. Mu Chen’s attack was able to make him feel threatened.

“This boy really can’t be underestimated,” Maha Tian muttered to himself. In the face of Mu Chen’s strike, even he did not dare to let down his guard. He immediately took a deep breath, and suddenly, black and white light emanated from his body. The black and white light condensed, forming a tight and secure black and white light barrier enveloping Maha Tian’s body.

“Maha Spiritual Shell!” The low roar rumbled in the sky as the black and white ball of light appeared, quietly suspended, twinkling with a strange light. The Maha Spiritual Shell was the Maha Ancient Clan’s highest-ranked defense technique and had the most fearsome defensive ability. It could even hold back the same class of offensive attacks.

Boom!

In the sky, the giant palm descended and covered him as it bombarded the black and white light ball. Everyone looked on, and at the moment of impact, heaven and earth seemed to be silent. High in the sky, in the space tens of thousands of feet up, it shattered completely. Space debris fell from the sky like broken glass. The black and white light shot down in the raging storm like a meteorite, crashing heavily into Aeon City.

Rumble!

The whole city began to collapse as the waves of destruction spread out. All the houses in the city were destroyed. In the short span of a few moments, the ancient city was turned into ruins. In the middle of the city, there was a huge pit that one could not see the end of.

The crowd trembled at the ruins of the city, and they knew that it was the result of a battle between two who had held back. Otherwise, everything within 100,000 miles would have been destroyed.

In the sky above, Mu Chen’s eyes were sharp like a falcon and stared at the huge pit in the city. Golden light flickered all over his body, reflecting flesh and blood that were cast from gold.

“He is indeed the Chief of the Maha Ancient Clan, hard to deal with…” Mu Chen’s gaze was full of gravity as he stared at the huge pit. The previous offensive attack had integrated his Divine Grade physical body and all his spiritual powers, but Maha Tian had countered it.

There seemed to be a light rising in the pit, and then everyone saw a black and white light ball slowly rising. The sphere of light’s surface was covered with cracks and marks of heavy damage. It appeared to be crumbling, but it had not yet broken, thus showing how fearful its defenses it were.

Crack.

The cracks spread over the sphere and eventually dissipated into black and white spots as Maha Tian appeared again. Maha Tian, standing inside the sphere of light, was unscathed. Not even his clothes was damaged, but he glared darkly, for he had already summoned the strongest defense against Mu Chen.

And who was he? He was the Chief of the Maha Ancient Clan, one of the peak existences that could be counted in the Great Thousand World. He had looked down at Mu Chen half a year ago, as Mu Chen at that time, no matter how excellent he was, was like an ant in his eyes. He could have squished Mu Chen just by lifting a finger.

Now, however, half a year had passed. The ant in his eyes had been able to force him to the point where he must exert the strongest defenses to be able to be safe and sound. This was a bit of a loss of face for Maha Tian. However, rationality told Maha Tian that if he still looked down on Mu Chen, he would suffer a great loss.

Huff.

Maha Tian took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his eyes. He concealed his disdain and restored his indifferent expression. However, Mu Chen was able to detect that Maha Tian’s spiritual energy flowed perfectly, without blemish. He had obviously abandoned all emotions and had begun to enter a real combat state. In other words, today’s Maha Tian had begun to regard him as a real opponent.

“No wonder he was able to fight with the Flame Emperor at that time.” Mu Chen was aware of these changes, and his gaze also grew solemn. Maha Tian’s reputation was not a boastful fluke. In such a short time, he could recognize the reality and restrained his mood, facing up to the opponent. That was enough to show the tenacity of his heart.

“Mu Chen, you can achieve this step at this age. This talent and persistence is strong enough to be a top sovereign. If we gave you a little more time, you would have a place in the Great Thousand World’s peak existences. But that will not be the case. My Maha Ancient Clan has guarded the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years. We will not be allow others to taint it!”

Maha Tian’s eyes flashed with black and white, and his indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth. The vast spiritual power converged and formed a boundless ocean of spiritual power behind him. Its aura was majestic.

The sea tumbled, and heaven and earth trembled. Maha Tian roared as the sea of spiritual power rolled back and was swallowed into his body. Everyone then saw that Maha Tian’s body gradually turned a crystal color, but it was black and white, exuding a mysterious aura. The black and white body emitted a terrible power as it caused space to tremble.

“This is the spiritual body of a Divine Grade…” Mu Chen looked at this scene, and his eyes became dark. The spiritual body of a Divine Grade was, in a way, an extremely powerful body. However, it could not match up to the Immortal Body, as it was not pure physical flesh but the integration of spiritual energy into one’s body causing it to transform.

Though the spiritual body of a Divine Grade was not as powerful as the Immortal Body, coupled with Maha Tian’s spiritual power at the middle stage of Divine Grade, the power of the two was terrifying beyond description.

Boom!

The black and white body soared up, tearing the space apart. It appeared in front of Mu Chen in a flash as its black and white fists exploded the space, charging towards Mu Chen at lightning speed. Mu Chen’s eyes flashed as he crossed his arms in front of his body with the golden light lingering.

Dong!

A low sound rang out as huge power ripples of tens of thousands of feet burst out. Mu Chen’s body shook as it flew backwards thousands of feet.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen had not yet stabilized, but Maha Tian’s vague figure appeared again, his terrible offensive attacks pouring down like a torrential rain.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Within a few moments, Mu Chen and Maha Tian had battled hundreds of rounds in the sky. Mu Chen was mostly suppressed. After all, Maha Tian had summoned the full power of his middle stage God Grade.

Budur Xuan watched the battle at the top of the sky and murmured quietly, “Mu Chen’s spiritual energy itself is still too weak, and though blessed with a Divine Grade physical body, he is not as strong as Maha Tian in general.”

Behind him, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong smiled bitterly. Are you not satisfied with this? Half a year ago, Mu Chen could not even counter a Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereign, but now, he can force a middle stage Divine Grade to use his full power. What more do you want?

Qing Yanjing smiled and said, “It is true that Chen’er will be suppressed by Maha Tian, but you must not forget his ace card…”

Budur Xuan was stunned as his gaze turned grave. He saw that in the sky, Mu Chen had suddenly stopped. A black and white light surged out of his body and finally turned into two identical figures.

Qi into Trinity.

Three Mu Chens stood at a high altitude. With the exception of the true Mu Chen, the black and white Mu Chens flickered with gold light, and all possessed the Divine Grade physical body. This was the power of Qi into Trinity. As long as the master had it, then the incarnations would also have the perfect technique.

Whoosh!

A sharp wind surged before him as Maha Tian flashed out, his black and white fists filled with black and white light. His attacks were like a whirlpool, strange and unpredictable. This time, however, in the face of Maha Tian’s offensive attack, Mu Chen did not retreat, and instead, let out a long howl. The three figures rushed out. The golden light shined between the fists, bombarding Maha Tian.

Dong!

The shockwaves raged, and the sky shattered, but this time, what shook everyone was that Mu Chen had not retreated even half a step. Maha Tian’s expression turned dark, but his offensive attacks did not stop. Turning into innumerable afterimages, he swept through. The three Mu Chens faced him head on, playing on the strength of the Divine Grade physical body incisively and vividly. The whole world was turned upside down because of this battle.

A few minutes later, Maha Tian retreated, and his face was particularly gloomy. When Mu Chen had executed Qi into Trinity, he was able to fight against him head on without being suppressed. Facing Mu Chen at this time, even if he urged his Divine Grade Spirit Body to the extreme, he could not get an advantage.

Maha Tian’s face was scarlet with fury as he took a deep breath. He conjured up seals, and with a vast burst of spiritual energy, a massive black and white silhouette emanating a terrible pressure slowly appeared behind him.

In the heavens and earth, countless sovereigns looked at the gargantuan black and white shadow in disbelief as shocked gasps rang out.

“That’s… the 8th ranked body on the List of 99 Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Maha Infinite Body.”

“Maha Tian, he is actually forced to this extent…”
