The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-980

When Mu Chen heard the ice cold voices of Nine Nether and Ink Blade, his face froze. Then, his vision locked onto the far away meteorite. There, he saw four figures emerge.

The four figures were wearing black robes, and it was apparent that lightning sparkled on the surface of their bodies. They even had a mark of thunder between their eyebrows. From afar, it seemed like they had a thunder eye, and it was overwhelming in a very creepy way.

"Are they from the Lightning Crow Clan?"

Mu Chen slightly frowned. The Lightning Crow Clan was a Spiritual Beast Race as well. Its fame was equal to the Nine Netherbird Clan in The Great Thousand World. In fact, they were an extremely strong force with many hidden strengths.

"Yea! These chaps are the worst. We had a lot of feuds with the Nine Netherbird Clan. I didn't expect we would meeting them before we got into the Land of the Divine Beasts." Beside Mu Chen, Ink Ring was nodding her little head. Her expression was full of disgust, as she obviously didn't have a good impression of the Lightning Crow Clan.

Mu Chen slightly nodded and was immediately on high alert. At present, the Thunder Crow Clan had obviously discovered the giant meteorite also. As estimated by Mu Chen, it was impossible for them to solve the predicament amicably. Furthermore, there was an extremely deep feud happening between the Nine Netherbird Clan and the Thunder Crow Clan.

While Mu Chen was putting up his mental guard, one of the four figures stepped out. He looked tall and strong. The look in his eye was as sharp as a blade. From afar, even the air seemed to be torn apart by its ferocity.

His gaze swept across Mu Chen's group, but his vision was mostly locked onto Nine Nether and Ink Blade. As for Mu Chen and Ink Ring, he was completely ignoring them. Obviously, the man had noticed that only Nine Nether and Ink Blade were grade seven sovereigns among the four.

"The Nine Netherbird Clan is really getting worse, daring to come to the Land of the Divine Beasts with this kind of formation. It seems like you think your life was too long!" With a laugh, the corners of his lips curved up.

He then warned her, "if I were you, I wouldn't be bickering with us here. I will give you a time of 10 breaths to get lost from here quickly. Don't provoke my desire to kill you, or I will massacre the Nine Netherbird Clan completely, before you even reach the Land of the Divine Beasts!"

Bang!

The moment the sound dropped, a black spirit energy burst out from the man's body. The space within a thousand square feet was overwhelmed with spirit energy. Among the spirit energy, was sparkling lightning and resounding thunder, which covered the land with a valiant oppression.

Behind the man in the black robe, stood three powerful people from the Lightning Crow Clan. They stomped their feet, and three valiant spirit energy burst out.

As Mu Chen felt the four's valiant spirit energy, his eyes flashed for awhile. From his perception of the spirit energy, there were two really authentic grade seven sovereigns at the opposite side. Moreover, the other two persons were not weak. As per his estimation, Mu Chen was afraid that they could even be compared to Jiang Ya and Qin Xuan.

Regardless, the the opposite side was definitely looking like they were stronger than them. After all, on their side, Ink Ring only had the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign.

With such odds in their favor, it was no wonder the people of the Thunder Crow Clan were being so boastful. They obviously expected the Nine Netherbird Clan to be weak. Yet, sometimes looks can be deceiving...

When Nine Nether heard the man in the black robe bragging, not only was she was not afraid, but her elegant face showed a touch of cynicism. She spoke with indifference, "What shameless boasting! I think that the one who needs to get lost is you! You must have a death wish!"

When the man in the black robe heard her, his look became somber. Immediately, he was fed up and shouted densely, "Thunder Wind, stop them with me."

"Thunder Light and Thunder Cloud, you two snatch the Blood Spirit Soil from the meteorite. Kill anyone who dares to stop you. And hurry up! We need to get the Blood Spirit Soil before the meteorite leaves this area!"

"Okay!"

Behind the man in the black robe, a slightly thin man was nodding his head. Immediately, his sight was sharp as a blade, locking on to Nine Nether and Ink Blade.

He was the only one who was a Grade Seven Sovereign among the Thunder Crow Clan. Therefore, the only ones with a shot to stop Nine Nether and Ink Blade were these two men.

As for the mission of snatching the Blood Spirit Soil, it was handed over to the remaining two. But, they were capable for the task. Among the ranks of the opposite side, other than the two Grade Seven Sovereigns, the two Grade Six Sovereign were just baggage. If they dared take a shot, they would simply be killed!

Bang!

The actions of these four of the Thunder Crow Clan were also vigorous. They would not hesitate after their plan had been set.

The man in the black robe and the man named Thunder Wind stamped their feet, as their bodies turned into two black lightning bolts and burst out. The huge black spirit energy mixed with the thunder light, then swept toward Nine Nether and Ink Blade with great violence.

"Mu Chen, Ink Ring, I'm handing these two to you."

Nine Nether and Ink Blade looked at each other, then the two of them burst out and directly stopped the offensive by the two men among the void. They all knew the intentions of each other, but no matter how many thousands of times of calculation they made, they never would have expected that the two persons that they considered as baggage would be the very ones to surprise them!

When Mu Chen and Ink Ring heard this, they nodded their heads. The latter was not feeling any fright. Instead, she was simply impatient for battle.

She looked at Mu Chen with her beautiful bright eyes. She then threw a provocative smile at Mu Chen, saying, "Brother Mu Chen, let's have a competition to see who will get rid of these opponents first!"

Mu Chen's intention was to take a shot at them alone, and now that he heard her words, his eyes slightly blinked, as he returned her stare. Ink Ring did not look like she was joking, which surprised Mu Chen.

From the surface, Ink Ring looked a bit fragile and weak. However, her strength was not to be underestimated.

"Let's try it then." Mu Chen agreed.

Although he was still doubting, Mu Chen would not reject her. Instead, he simply nodded and smiled. When Ink Ring saw Mu Chen nodding, she suddenly let out a cute giggle. She then rushed toward to the giant meteorite, her silver bell-like laughter echoing in the air.

Mu Chen's body moved and a few of his afterimages emerged, flickering. He then appeared on the giant meteorite.

"Get lost from here! The Blood Spirit Soil is not something that a scum like you can touch!"

When Mu Chen appeared, a ray of lightning appeared right in front of him. The one who had spoken was a powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan, who had also reached Grade Seven Sovereign. He looked down at Mu Chen and spoke in a grave tone.

However, Mu Chen just smiled faintly in the face of his serious shouting. Then, his hand formed a seal immediately. Suddenly, the space from his back was rippling and the Sovereign Sea appeared faintly. A horrifying spirit energy was rippling in the surroundings.

"Human?"

The powerful person in front of Mu Chen sensed that the spirit energy was quite different from that of a spiritual beast, and he was stunned. Then, his smile became even more cynical.

Although he did not know how a human had mixed into the Nine Netherbrid Clan, he did recall that in most battles of the same level, humans were always weaker than spiritual beasts. This was common knowledge.

Therefore, after Mu Chen exposed his identity as a human to this powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan, it seemed like only death awaited him.

"No matter how you came here, nobody would notice if you died here."

While the powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan was sneering, a black lightning bolt surged forth from his palms. It looked like a thunder dragon, and it was violently directing itself right at Mu Chen!

The powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan had a cynical look on his face, and also was filled with killing intent as he was taking the shot. He did not want to hold anything back. Obviously, he was careful as well, as he didn't want to make a careless mistake.

However, while facing the violent offensive from the powerful person of the Thunder Crow Clan, Mu Chen did not feel any fear. Immediately, he changed his seal again. Suddenly, the Sovereign Sea behind him resounded with the cries of dragons and elephants.

Phew! Phew!

As the cries of dragons and elephants were resounding, 12 rays of light burst forth from the Sovereign Sea, surrounding Mu Chen's body. Then, they transformed into six giant dragons and six giant elephants, all standing in the air.

Bang!

A frightening spirit energy burst out from their bodies, and the entire space vibrated. Mu Chen's hands closed loosely, like he was holding the Sun and the Moon.

The six dragons and six elephants were whistling, as they transformed into a halo on his palms. From the edge of the halo, the shadows of the dragons and elephants could be seen whirling.

As Mu Chen's strength improved, this Nine Dragon Nice Elephant Art was becoming more of a success. If it were him in the past, he could never have compressed the power of the dragon and elephant to be this exquisite. Hence, the shock of spirit energy from this dragon-elephant halo was tearing the space apart, inch by inch.

Facing the terrifying spirit energy that had suddenly burst out from Mu Chen's palms, the pupils of that powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan suddenly shrank. His face was also showing a touch of awkwardness, as he was now aware that he was caught in a huge crisis!

How could this fellow stage such a shocking offensive?!

However, while he was shocked, Mu Chen remained indifferent. Mu Chen quickly extended his palm, and the dragon-elephant halo swept out.

"Six dragons, six elephants…"

Roar!

The dragons and elephants gave out a torrential roar that echoed throughout the void. Then, the powerful person from the Thunder Crow Clan was swept away by it.

On the other side, a clear and bright chirp echoed all of a sudden. This chirp was heard by Mu Chen. His heart was shocked, and his pupils slightly shrunk when he looked in the chirp's direction.

From that direction, a pair of crimson wings stretched out from Ink Ring's back, with flames bursting toward the heavens. Then, a flaming giant bird emerged from behind Ink Ring. There was a valiant pressure permeating the surroundings quietly.

This was clearly an oppression of a phoenix, meaning that it was a pressure exclusive to the Phoenix Clan!

So, does that mean that Ink Ring is actually one of the Phoenix Clan?!
