The Great Ruler

When that aged voice finished speaking, many teams flew out and turned into streaks of light, heading towards the Four Saint Pagoda.

"Let's go as well!" Mu Chen's group also moved without any hesitation.

Under their full speed, they appeared before the Four Saint Pagoda in just a few minutes. As they got close to it, they could sense the majestic aura of the Four Saint Pagoda.

Standing before the pagoda, they felt as puny as ants.

They could only see half of the Four Saint Pagoda, with the other half being enveloped by the endless darkness that they do not dare to look at. At this moment, the Fiend Clans must be gathered on the other side as well…

As the teams got close to the Four Saint Pagoda, the gate of the pagoda slowly opened with a deep voice that sounded like rumbling thunder with an ancient aura sweeping out.

When the ancient gate opened, the eyes of many teams blazed, but no one dared to recklessly enter and they looked at each other.

"*Cough* Ladies and gentlemen. I believe that everyone is clear now that the will of that Ancestor explained it to us… We must guard two floors of the pagoda, or the Four Saint Pagoda will be damaged by the remnant souls of the Sky Monarchs. At that time, none of us will be able to walk away intact." As the initiator of this mission, Qin Bubai spoke out as he coughed.

Everyone nodded their heads to his words in agreement.

"So I suggest for us to split up and try to maintain a certain fighting power at every level. We shouldn't be gathered together, since it would be unwise to do so."

The meaning behind Qin Bubai's words was clear. He suggested for everyone to split up or it might cause the other layers to be weakened. Furthermore, there would also be intense competition between each other.

"I'm from the Ancient Buddha Clan, so I will naturally be in the layer where my Ancestor resides." Xuan Luo faintly smiled as he clearly expressed his intention.

"Same with me." Mo Xin said as he cast a glance at Xuan Luo without any expression.

Qin Bubao did not give any response, but had felt slightly relieved. Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were both formidable opponents, and as long as they're not on the same layer as him, there would be a higher chance of him obtaining the inheritance.

"I will choose the layer of Heaven Rising Ancestor." Qing Bubai smiled.

"I choose Spear Ancestor." A robust man stood out with an astonishing ominous aura shrouding him. Clearly, he must have experienced countless slaughters.

Sensing the ominous aura on this person, Mu Chen knew that the former must be a Demon Slayer. Furthermore, he must also be a genuine High Rank Demon Slayer!

"Since that's the case, then I will go for the Great Spirit Ancestor." A gorgeous beauty spoke out beside Xuan Luo.

As they expressed where they stood, the other teams also made their choices.

"Qing Xuan, Big Sister Ling Xi, and Long Xiang should follow Luo Li to the layer of the Great Spirit Ancestor." Mu Chen turned around and spoke to the three of them.

Although Luo Li had her own decision, Mu Chen still gave her those powerful members in the group to her for safety reasons.

As for himself, he didn't need their help too much. After all, he had the Three Pures, so he had the advantage in numbers. Not to mention that he still had the Black Dragon Army with him.

Hearing Mu Chen's distribution, Luo Li briefly pondered, but she did not refuse, since she knew that Mu Chen was worried about her, something that made her feel warm in her heart.

"Then you must be careful, as well." Luo Li did not talk too much, but looked at Mu Chen with dense concern in her eyes.

In just a few minutes, everyone there had made their choice. Generally, there were Perfected Earth Sovereigns in almost every layer. Naturally, those people would also become the strongest competitors for the legacies.

Mu Chen and Luo Li have also expressed the layer that they would be going to. Their choice did not cause any commotion, since they were only a Lesser Earth Sovereign and Greater Earth Sovereign, so not many people paid attention to the two of them.

However, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin sneered as they looked at Mu Chen.

On the other hand, that gorgeous beauty, Bai Xin'er, looked at Luo Li with her eyes flickering.

Once the distribution was completed, they couldn't hold on anymore and they flew out, turning into streaks of light as they charged into the ancient pagoda.

"Let's go!" Mu Chen waved his hand and flew into the Four Saint Pagoda with Luo Li and the rest closely following behind him.

…

When he entered the Four Saint Pagoda, Mu Chen could sense the spatial fluctuations around him. In the next instant, the scenery around him had started to change.

It was a desolate forest and mountain with everything dried up. Mu Chen only swept his gaze over before looking in the east. He could faintly sense a faint boundless fluctuation that made him feel greatly pressured.

That boundless fluctuation had traces of coldness in it, which seemed to contain an endless evil. Just a faint sense of it made Mu Chen feel dense fear in his heart.

"A remnant soul and the will of the Sky Monarch and Ancestor should be there." Mu Chen fell into thoughts. It looked like he had to rush there as soon as possible. Otherwise, the experts of the Fiend Clans might take the opportunity and destroy the suppression to release the remnant soul of the Sky Monarch. At that time, this entire layer would be doomed.

Thinking about it, Mu Chen no longer hesitated. He tapped his feet and flew up to a thick tree branch with his silhouette leaving afterimages in the forest, traveling at his full speed.

Although it might be faster if he traveled through the air, that would also make him a target that attracted attention. Something that Mu Chen didn't wish to do with the Fiend Clans around in this layer as well.

Fortunately, Mu Chen was still traveling at a swift speed despite being in the forest.

The blurred figure shuttled across the forest, and in that instant, when it flew across this region, Mu Chen heart suddenly went alert and he instantly came to a stop.

The dried-up tree before him was suddenly set ablaze with black flames and a terrifying temperature that emanated out, causing the space in this region to suddenly distort.

As the black flames blazed, claps suddenly rang out and Mu Chen saw two silhouettes slowly walk out from the flames.

Directing his gaze over, Mu Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw the hair of those two silhouettes blazing with black flames.

"We previously encountered two women from the Great Thousand World, and Boss went to chase after them. I never expected that we would still encounter another unfortunate fellow." Those two silhouettes with black flames for their hair looked at Mu Chen with cold flickers and killing intent flashing in their eyes.

"There's a great gap in our strength. According to the ranking of their Great Thousand World, he's a mere Greater Earth Sovereign, practically an ant." The other person said indifferently as he looked at Mu Chen without any emotion in his eyes.

"The Fiend Clans?" Mu Chen's brows raised as he smiled while looking at the two people.

In his perception, the strength of those two wasn't weak. They're both at the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm; however, they're comparable to ordinary Perfected Earth Sovereigns.

"Wrong, we're from the Flame Demon Clan. The Fiend Clans is a name that your Great Thousand World has given us."

Mu Chen nodded his head as he smiled. "Whatever. Who cares about your names when you're about to die?"

The two experts of the Flame Demon Clan were briefly stunned before they laughed, giving Mu Chen an even colder look.

"I will burn him bit by bit with the demonic flames later." One of them tilted his head to the side and declared brutally.

"Right, what do the two women that the two of you have previously spoke about look like?" Mu Chen suddenly asked with a smile.

Towards his question, the two experts of the Flame Demon Clan looked at him as if they're looking at a fool. Clearly, they haD no intention of telling him this information.

"Looks like I can only forcefully tear your lips apart, then." Mu Chen shrugged as he smiled.

Black flames gushed out from the two experts of the Flame Demon Clan like a volcano. As the demonic flames swept out, patches of the forest were set ablaze.

"Fool, we will let you beg for death later!" Torrential demonic flames swept out as the two silhouettes pounced forth along with a blazing heatwave that enveloped towards Mu Chen.

The two of them were incredibly cunning. Even if Mu Chen only appeared to be a Greater Earth Sovereign, they still attacked together with extreme caution.

However, Mu Chen faintly smiled in response to them. "Taking advantage in numbers?"

Mu Chen also flew out and the two experts of the Flame Demon Clan abruptly narrowed their eyes when they saw two similar silhouettes beside Mu Chen as he ferociously charged at them.

"Shit!" Instantly, the hearts of those two from the Flame Demon Clan sank. They knew that they had kicked the metal wall this time.
