The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1525-30041322

Brilliant flames burned around Qin Tian’s body, completely enveloping him. The flames gave off a mysterious and majestic aura, like the god of fire.

“Those are the Emperor Flames… From the Flame Emperor’s fire. How did they appear on Qin Tian’s body?” an onlooker asked in amazement.

In the Northern Wilderness Hill, many Heavenly Sovereigns, who had been appalled by Qin Tian’s actions, were startled by the brilliant flames. They were astonished to see the scene before them.

As the flames continued to rise, Qin Tian could feel that he was regaining control of his body. He looked at the flames with a complicated expression and whispered, “Brother Xiao is really powerful!”

The others did not know how the Emperor Flames came to surround his body, but he knew the reason clearly. Hundreds of years ago, when he had returned from the Demon’s Domain to the Great Thousand Palace, he had encountered the Flame Emperor.

At that time, the Flame Emperor frowned at him for a long time, then finally gave him a flame bead to wear. Originally, he was surprised by this gift, but he realized today that the Flame Emperor had sensed something back then.

But, the Seed of Heart Demon lurked so deep that even the Flame Emperor couldn’t be sure whether or not it was activated. Thus, he cautiously gave him a flame bead in case he ran into danger. The Flame Emperor’s cautious move that day had saved him from becoming a sinner of the Great Thousand World.

In the distance, Green Shirt Sword Saint’s and Undying Lord’s pillars of fire began to fade, and the two barely escaped the siege of the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor. At that moment, they glanced nervously at Qin Tian. When they saw the Emperor Flames around Qin Tian’s body, they were also stunned, but immediately understood what was going on and heaved huge sighs of relief.

At this time, there was only one last layer of defense left. If that last layer was opened again, the Extraterritorial Race could invade the Northern Wilderness Hill. Then, if they awakened the Heavenly Evil Deity, it would be a total disaster!

“Da*n it!” The Saint Heaven Demon Emperor’s gaze turned dark, as he obviously had not expected to fall short of succeeding in his plan. Murderous intent surged within him, then permeated the space around him.

“Qin Tian, activate the array and restore the defenses! Hurry!” Undying Lord roared.

Qin Tian took a deep breath, and dared not slow down. Just as his seals changed, he saw the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array ripple, and layers of defense film began to gradually recover.

“Attack! Break that array!” With a wave of his sleeve, the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor roared coldly, while a chilling look flashed across his eyes.

Boom!

Suddenly, a demonic aura surged from behind him, while countless demonic shadows howled. In the next moment, as the demonic aura continued to rage, smoke whistled out, heading straight at the film of light around the Northern Wilderness Hill.

“All of you, do your best to summon your spiritual energies and activate the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array!” Qin Tian yelled. As he looked at this scene, his face became solemn, while low roars and commands reverberated throughout the entire Northern Wilderness Hill.

Many Heavenly Sovereigns saw the invasion of the demons and dared not slow down. With a roar, a spiritual power surged and many massive Sovereign Celestial Appearances appeared behind them. As they huffed, their breaths turned into spiritual energy torrents, rushing into the copper pillars.

Whoosh!

Beyond the space, a demonic smoke surged, creating a horrifying scene. Qin Tian, Green Shirt Sword Saint, and Undying Lord all looked at each other. Then, their spiritual energies poured into the film of light.

The film of light then burst into hundreds of millions of spots of light, which all swept out and collided with the myriad demonic shadows.

Whoosh!

When they made contact, the light revealed a terrifying destructive power. Wherever the light shined, the countless demonic shadows did not even have time to scream before they were dissolved into wisps of black smoke. The smoke then dissipated completely.

This Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array was cast from the Immortal Emperor’s life, so it was highly sensitive to this evil aura. Once detected, it would melt it, and only those who practiced spiritual energy spellcasting would be able to pass through unimpeded.

“Continue!” As the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor looked at the scene, where his army had just suffered heavy casualties, he strangely remained expressionless, while his cold voice rang through the air.

Suddenly, a wave of demonic shadows swept out, even while knowing they would all end up like moths to the flame. However, they bravely continued their assault.

“He is such a cold-blooded fellow! But, even he can’t break through this defense!” Qin Tian looked at the scene and remarked coldly.

Green Shirt Sword Saint and Undying Lord also nodded slightly, but the latter was more composed as he said, “Stay vigilant. The Extraterritorial Race has been planning this for tens of thousands of years. As such, they would not launch such an easy attack. There must be something more than meets the eye here…”

Beyond the space, the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor looked coldly at the hordes of demons that were heading to their deaths. In just over ten minutes, they had lost countless men and nearly a hundred Demon Emperors! However, even after suffering so many casualties, they still could not shake the thin film of light.

“The Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array that was left behind by the Immortal Emperor has really affected our Extraterritorial Race!” Behind the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor, several chiefs of the 32 Clans who started to exclaim, making vicious and fearful comments.

However, the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor’s face did not change. He just continued to gaze indifferently at the carnage before him. Then, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he quietly issued a command.

Immediately, innumerable wisps of demonic smoke roared out, as if there were dozens of demonic auras mixed into it. It then headed straight toward the film of light.

“Is this Saint Heaven Demon Emperor insane? If he goes on like this, even if he puts all of his men at risk, he still won’t be able to break the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array!” Qin Tian looked at the demons being annihilated and frowned.

Green Shirt Sword Saint and Undying Lord were also a little confused, as the enemy’s behavior was clearly not logical! Amid their doubts, there were many roaring demonic sovereigns, who were swept away into nothingness by numerous waves of Demon Extermination Light. However, another horde charged straight at the weakest part of the film mere seconds later.

The Demon Extermination Light shone and swept through this new wave of dozens of demons easily. However, a few unexpected things happened. In the face of the Demon Extermination Light, the dozens of shadows only trembled, but unlike the others before them, they did not dissipate into smoke. Instead, they sped up and suddenly rushed down, descending upon the film of light!

What? As they saw this scene, Qin Tian, Green Shirt Sword Saint, and Undying Lord were appalled. These demons are able to resist the Demon Extermination Light? That’s definitely unexpected!

“Stop them!” Qin Tian yelled suddenly as a surge of unease roared in his heart.

Boom!

At this time, however, outside the space, nearly ten chiefs of the 32 clans struck at the same time. A vast demonic aura filled the sky as they fiercely charged toward the trio.

Crash!

Within the avalanche of destruction, the three were obstructed for a moment. At this point, it was too late to stop the dozens of strange demonic shadows as they charged at the last layer of film right under their noses!

“There is no need to panic. Once they come into contact with the Demon Extermination Light barrier, they will be eliminated immediately!” Undying Lord said, but just after he finished his words, the dozens of shadows had already touched the enchantment barrier!

In this moment, the demonic auras around the shadows suddenly dissipated, and then, majestic spiritual light burst out of their bodies!

Spiritual energy? How is that possible? At this moment, the three’s pupils contracted, while horror surged in their eyes. At this moment, the dozens of demonic shadows, unexpectedly summoned spiritual energy and that kind of spiritual power, was that of a Heavenly Sovereign!

“How could the Extraterritorial Race know how to practice spiritual energy?” a Heavenly Sovereign in the Northern Wilderness Hill wondered aloud.

Many of the Heavenly Sovereigns were in a panic as they looked at this scene in disbelief. Judging from the exuberance of the previous demonic aura, it was clear that these figures were all from the Extraterritorial Race, but now, their spiritual energies were no less powerful than their own!

Amid the horrified gazes, the dozens of demonic shadows touched the film of light, and as spiritual energy spread out, it rendered the array unable to stop them. It simply let them penetrate through the film of light and charge into the Northern Wilderness Hill!

“Hahahaha! Qin Tian, my Extraterritorial Race has been planning this for tens of thousands of years!” Outside the space, the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor cackled with pleasure.

“You must be wondering how my Extraterritorial Race can practice such spiritual power! In fact, it is very simple. They are not ordinary Extraterritorial Race existences, but they are the combination of the Extraterritorial Race and the beings of the Great Thousand World… A cultivation of a new race! I named them the Evil Spirit Clan, and they are born to deal with evil spirits and practice spiritual energy. Hahaha!”

In the Northern Wilderness Hill, there was nothing but dead silence. Everyone was shell-shocked, and their faces were red with fury.

The Extraterritorial Race occupied half of the Great Thousand World, and at the same time, ruled over countless Lower Planes. Thus, they have enough people to carry out such a crazy breeding scheme.

The worst part was that they obviously don’t care about how many beings of the Great Thousand World would die as a result of their scheme! And now, they had finally succeeded!

Mu Chen and the others looked up through the thin film and saw the dozens of figures falling into the Northern Wilderness Hill. Then, the spiritual light around them dissipated as they transformed into human beings.

Their appearances were no different from ordinary human beings of the Great Thousand World, but everyone could see that they all had a single, strange eye, which was opening slowly at the centers of their palms.

Immediately, a mighty power swept out from their bodies, instantly permeating the whole world. It appeared that these beings were the Evil Spirit Clan!
