The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-694

At the summit of the Golden Pool.

Golden light filled the place. When one stared at it, it was as if even one's eyes were colored gold. Golden torrents that seemed to be blotting out the sky poured out, emitting an extremely terrifying pressure.

Mu Chen dropped down from the summit. The place where he landed felt exceptionally hard, as if he were stepping on diamond. He looked ahead with a surprised expression. At the central region, the brilliant golden light seemed to be so strong that it even caused his eyes to hurt.

The golden torrents that filled the entire peak of the Golden Pool were spreading out from there.

As the golden torrents rushed past, they bypassed Mu Chen's body. His toes pushed against the ground, and his body flew out for 10,000 feet. Next, a remarkably extensive golden pool appeared before him.

It was as if the golden pool were filled with golden liquid, and the viscous liquid was sloshing around. Occasionally, a golden bubble would slowly rise and then explode. When it burst apart, a golden torrent would immediately sweep out.

Is this the Daluo Golden Pool?

Mu Chen stared at the golden pool, somewhat astonished. Although the pool looked rather calm, for some reason Mu Chen felt an intense danger, as if the golden pool were a peerless beast.

Since the Daluo Golden Pool had the power to strengthen the Sovereign Celestial Body, it was definitely extraordinary.

Vroom.

The sound of objects whizzing through the air could be heard. Xu Qing, Zhou Yue, and Wu Tian also landed around the area, staring with much anticipation at the pool emitting golden light.

The Sovereign Celestial Body was a very important means for a sovereign master. The Daluo Golden Pool before them could strengthen the Sovereign Celestial Body and make it stronger and more refined. This was undoubtedly strikingly attractive to people like them who had just entered the Sovereign-level.

When the four people, including Mu Chen, appeared beside the Daluo Golden Pool, the virile and low voice of the Condor King spread from the sky like thunder. "The Daluo Golden Pool has already opened. You can enter it individually. In the Daluo Golden Pool, the water has millions of pounds of pressure. The lower you go, the more pressure you will experience, so you cannot rush down recklessly. Otherwise, you will cause yourself suffering.

"As for whether you can cultivate the legendary Daluo Golden Body successfully, it all depends on your own fortune. Remember not to force it."

Hearing so, all four nodded in acknowledgement.

"Haha, you three, let's see who will be luckier this time." Xu Qing smiled gently at the rest. Then, without further hesitation, his toes kicked off the ground, and his body turned into a streamer which flew into the Daluo Golden Pool.

His body charged in, but did not actually cause any waves to be formed on the surface of the pool. It seemed as if he had sunk into a bottomless mire, and it looked somewhat frightening.

Zhou Yue and Wu Tian also followed immediately without any hesitation.

Seeing that the three had vanished into the Daluo Golden Pool, Mu Chen also took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body quietly surged. He turned into a beam of light and dashed into the Daluo Golden Pool directly.

Plop.

When he dashed into the Daluo Golden Pool, a soft plop sounded off near his ears. Then, golden color filled his eyes. Immediately, a terrifying power gushed towards him from all directions as if it were trying to crush him into pieces.

Rumble!

On the surface of Mu Chen's body, lightning bloomed out instantly, and his whole body was electrified. Obviously, he had activated the Thunder God Physique to its extreme. Then, his feet kicked in the liquid, and his body swam swiftly down the Daluo Golden Pool like a fish.

In the Daluo Golden Pool, it was clear that the deeper he went, the more benefits he would receive. Of course, the pressure below was also much stronger. If a person did not have the sufficient abilities, going down recklessly would be like committing suicide.

Splash.

Mu Chen's body swam across the viscous golden liquid rapidly and brought about the soft sound of water. His body continued to descend.

Golden light filled the surroundings. In the Daluo Golden Pool, it was as if even the senses were suppressed to their minimum range. Outside the pool, Mu Chen could easily sense objects within over 100,000 feet. However, in this place, it was not even 100 feet.

Rumble.

Lightning circled around the surface of Mu Chen's body, but his diving speed was gradually becoming slower because the pressure in the surroundings was increasing. Even though he had activated the Thunder God Physique to its extreme, he still felt waves of pain on his skin.

While the pressure was gushing towards Mu Chen, he noticed that thin rays of golden light were also rushing continuously into his body. That was a very special power: where the golden light passed, Mu Chen could feel his muscles, bones, and even blood gradually becoming hotter, as if they were being strengthened in a stove.

Such a magical and formidable Daluo Golden Pool, Mu Chen praised in his heart. Relying on the Thunder God Physique alone, he could actually dive to only about 2,000 feet. The pressure there was really terrifying.

I can summon my Sovereign Celestial Body.

Mu Chen's hands formed a seal, and a spiritual energy storm immediately burst out from his body. The golden liquid around him was pushed aside. A huge figure appeared outside Mu Chen and shrouded him.

As the Great Solar Undying Body appeared, the pressure enveloping Mu Chen was instantly gone. He smiled and moving his mind, the Great Solar Undying Body continued to dive quickly again.

After summoning the Great Solar Undying Body, Mu Chen's diving speed increased right away. As he dove deeper, he could feel the golden energy that was gushing towards him also became richer.

When the golden energy came into contact with his Sovereign Celestial Body, Mu Chen immediately discovered in surprise that the Sovereign Celestial Body actually produced a buzzing, trembling sound. It looked like a starving person who saw a lot of food and started to wildly absorb the golden energy at a greedy pace.

As the Sovereign Celestial Body crazily devoured the energy, traces of golden light began to drift on the surface of the giant Sovereign Celestial Body.

Mu Chen still continued to dive.

The dive finally slowly stopped when Mu Chen reached about 8,000 feet deep because even with the power of the Great Solar Undying Body, he still vaguely felt some pressure there.

Mu Chen scanned around, and golden light still flooded his view. Moving his mind, the Great Solar Undying Body sat cross-legged. The golden energy there was already extremely rich and was sufficient for his cultivation.

He remembered the Condor King's earlier reminder. The Daluo Golden Pool was clearly extraordinary, and it would probably be unwise to dive deeper just for the sake of it.

I'll cultivate here.

The giant hands of the Great Solar Undying Body slowly formed a seal. When he breathed in and out, it was as if the sound of thunder could be heard. As Mu Chen entered the cultivation state, the Sun of Brightness behind the head of the Great Solar Undying Body also started to quietly turn.

Boom!

When the sun started turning, the golden water in the area seemed to begin boiling. Golden light turned into torrents and converged towards him continuously. Eventually, the torrents were refined by the great solar flames and absorbed by the Great Solar Undying Body directly.

The water in the Daluo Golden Pool was as heavy as mountains. Although the energy contained in it was magical, it was not easy to separate the energy out. Many people who had entered the pool could only refine the liquid slowly using their own spiritual energy. On the other hand, Mu Chen was absorbing the energy like a whale, and it was so fast that if people were to see it, they would probably have been dumbstruck.

With such speed, the surface of Mu Chen's huge Sovereign Celestial Body also seemed to be covered in a thin layer of golden light. On its body, the drifting traces of golden light began to expand slowly as well.

...

Outside the peak of the Golden Pool, everyone raised their heads to look at the summit which was filled with golden light. Intense envy could be seen in the eyes of many. After all, the power of the Daluo Golden Pool was very attractive to most sovereigns.

In the sky, the three kings stood in midair. Four golden talismans floated before them. These four golden talismans were connected to the ones held by Mu Chen and the rest, and could sense each other.

All four golden talismans were emitting golden light, and the golden light was gradually growing brighter.

The three kings all stared at the four golden talismans. Generally speaking, the deeper a person dove in the Daluo Golden Pool and the stronger the power he had absorbed from the Golden Pool, the brighter the golden light given off by his talisman would be. Obviously, if he were to go deeper, he would obtain more benefits.

"Seems that the four great commanders this time are stronger than the previous batches. Their locations now should be between 5,000 to 10,000 feet deep." Looking at the light from the four golden talismans, the Condor King smiled uncontrollably.

The Sleeping King also opened his eyes slightly, after which he closed them again and muttered, "Seems that no one could obtain the Golden Body again."

The Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King both smiled resignedly. It was too demanding. From their estimation over the years, if a person wanted to cultivate the Daluo Golden Body in the Daluo Golden Pool, he had to dive to at least 20,000 feet deep. Only with the help of the pressure there and the extremely pure power of the Golden Pool could he cultivate the Daluo Golden Body.

Unfortunately, over the years there had been very few commanders who could dive to that kind of depth.

"Let's wait and see. It's not over yet, after all," the Condor King said.

The Sleeping King nodded but was non-committal.

The Spiritual Pupil King looked at the Sleeping King suddenly and asked, "Brother Meng, may I ask if there is any news about the Dominator recently? The Great Hunt is approaching..."

The Sleeping King smiled and shook his head, after which he replied, "Brother Spiritual Pupil, don't worry. When it's time, the Dominator will appear naturally."

Hearing so, the Spiritual Pupil King could only smile.

The three kings fell into silence. They stared at the four golden talismans before them, but clearly they were somewhat downhearted. It seemed that nothing surprising would happen.

Among the four great commanders in this batch, is there nobody who can reach that level?
