The Great Ruler

The demonic statue blazing with black flames brandished its fist with space erupting underneath it. Thereafter, the destructive energy and heat ferociously smashed towards the Great Netherworld Celestial Body. It was a fist that could easily kill an ordinary Perfected Earth Sovereign.

Standing on the Great Netherworld Celestial Body, Mo Xin looked at the fist coming in his direction and sneered before forming a seal with his hands together. "Illusory!"

The massive Great Netherworld Celestial Body rippled before its black silhouette had turned illusory, allowing that fist to pass through.

"The Netherworld Palm!" When the Great Netherworld Celestial Body turned illusory, Mo Xin stomped his foot and the palm of the celestial body turned substantial along with an icy aura that struck against the Flame Demon Statue.

The massive palm had caused the Flame Demon Statue to tremble before it was blown back with an overbearing cold aura corroding the statue, but the dense flames obstructed the attack on the colossal figure.

"Kill!" With his attack obstructed, the commander of the Flame Demon Clan instantly flared up and roared. With blazing flames on the Flame Demon Statue, it charged towards Mo Xin once again.

Facing the ferocious commander of the Flame Demon Clan, Mo Xin coldly sneered and charged forth with the Great Netherworld Celestial Body.

As two colossi clashed, the commotion was so shocking that no one dared to get close to them, fearing that they might be implicated in the battle.

As Mo Xin and the commander of the Flame Demon Clan fought, Xuan Luo and the Blade Demon Clan's battle had also reached their climax. The demonic knife flew out like a slaughterhouse. Anyone that was swept by the blade aura, even the Perfected Earth Sovereigns would be turned into meat paste. It also left bottomless blade marks on the ground.

However, Xuan Luo wasn't afraid of it and the brilliance the Great Pagoda Body was enveloped in lit up, forming an unbreakable defense.

Thus, the Great Pagoda Body was forcibly dragged into the blade aura storm, allowing the sharp blade aura to wreak havoc. But no matter what, the attacks couldn't break through the defenses of the Great Pagoda Body.

"The legendary Endless Radiance Body has the most powerful defense in the world, and my Great Pagoda Body has inherited its merits. Thus, your attacks won't be able to break through my defenses." Standing on the shoulder of the Great Pagoda Body, Xuan Luo faintly smiled as he looked at the expert of the Blade Demon Clan.

"Radiance Seal!" Along with Xuan Luo's roar, a boundless lustre enveloped towards the massive blade and the expert of the Blade Demon Clan. Under the radiance, the violent blade aura was actually being swiftly weakened.

The demonic blade seemed like it had fallen into a swamp. It's speed gradually slowed down with the lustre enveloping the body of the blade and its user…

Sensing the changes, the face of the Blade Demon Clan's expert changed. He could sense the demonic aura on the demonic blade was being sealed…

Clearly, he had underestimated Xuan Luo's ability to seal.

However, Xuan Luo did not give him much time to be shocked. The Great Pagoda Body strode over and the Divine Pagoda endlessly gushed out a lustre that formed into spears that flew towards the weakened expert of the Blade Demon Clan.

That expert of the Blade Demon Clan roared, and with a thought, the massive blade started to dance with surging demonic aura to resist the powerful attacks from Xuan Luo. But judging from the looks of it, he seemed to be gradually falling into the lower hand.

…

As Mo Xin and Xuan Luo slowly took the upper hand in their battles, the morale of those from the Great Thousand World soared. For a period, the Fiend Clans even showed signs of defeat.

"Those two fellows are truly something." Mu Chen was also shocked at this scene as he narrowed his eyes. The Flame Demon Clan and Blade Demon Clan's experts were both extremely troublesome. But the two of them were being suppressed by Mo Xin and Xuan Luo respectively, so the strength of those two could be seen.

But… Mu Chen did not think that the battle would end so easily.

It was also when those thoughts circulated in Mu Chen's mind, the commander of the Flame Demon Clan was the first to show loopholes, and was blown a few thousand feet away by the jab of the Great Netherworld Celestial Body.

The commander of the Flame Demon Clan spat a mouthful of black blood before staring at Mo Xin with rage. Seeing that the faction of the Fiend Clans was showing signs of defeat, he roared towards the sky, "Shi Tianyou, why aren't you making a move yet?!"

His roar rumbled and echoed between the heavens and earth. In that instant, even the noises in the battlefield had turned quiet.

"Shi Tianyou?" When Mu Chen heard the voice of the Flame Demon Clan's commander, his pupils narrowed. 'Is that fellow here as well?'

"Haha. Yan Lu, I did not expect that, as a commander of the Flame Demon Clan, you'd actually be so useless to be forced to such a state by a brat from the Great Thousand World." When the commander of the Flame Demon Clan's voice landed, a peal of ear-piercing laughter echoed out.

Everyone instantly directed their gazes over and saw a black silhouette on the altar, looking down with ridicule in his eyes.

When Xuan Luo, who was facing the expert of the Blade Demon Clan, saw that silhouette, he squinted his eyes. He could sense an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the latter.

"Acting like a big spot, come down from the altar for this Young Master!" Mo Xin's cold gaze fixated on that silhouette as he coldly snorted. The Great Netherworld Celestial Body strode through space and appeared before the black silhouette, along with a destructive prowess, and smashed towards Shi Tianyou.

Shi Tianyou folded his arms with a deathly aura in his eyes as he looked at the Great Netherworld Celestial Body with ridicule. Facing such ferocious attacks, he actually didn't have any intention to defend.

He's only whistling gently at this moment.

When he finished speaking, the space before Shi Tianyou fluctuated and a skeleton appeared at a swift speed that no one could detect.

That skeleton didn't have any vitality, but when it appeared, whether it was Mu Chen, Xuan Luo or even Mo Xin, their pupils squinted. They could feel an indescribable pressure from that skeleton.

That skeleton raised its hollow eyes and stretched out it's only remaining hand and casually slapped out, clashing with the massive punch.

A deep sound rang out in that instant, with space shattering into fragments like glass. Thereafter, everyone was shocked when they saw the massive silhouette suffering a huge blow and was blown out like a cannonball.

The Great Netherworld Body left a massive ravine on the ground that was a few myriad feet in length before the massive silhouette stopped. Mo Xin, who was standing on the shoulder, spat a mouthful of blood with dense shock on his face.

He felt disbelief as he looked at the skeleton standing before Shi Tianyou. He couldn't believe that even after using the Great Netherworld Body, he was still so easily blown away.

The entire region fell into silence.

The other teams that had their morale raised just a moment ago felt a bucket of water pouring down on them that made them feel cold. They looked at that skeleton in fear. 'Just what sort of strength was that to blow Mo Xin away so easily?'

Qing Shuang and Qing Ling also had a shock in their eyes, and the latter even started to tremble.

Xuan Luo had also stopped as he looked at the skeleton with fear in his eyes before speaking out, word for word, "This is the corpse of a Monarch?!"

To be able to possess such terrifying power, Xuan Luo couldn't figure out any other reason except for the corpse of a Monarch. Furthermore, he could also sense traces of a Monarch coming from that corpse, which further verified his speculation.

Although that aura was faint, a Monarch was still a Monarch, an existence comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Regardless if they're Perfected Earth Sovereigns, they're still ants to a Heavenly Sovereign.

When he spoke out, it had caused exclamations of fear from many teams. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone that could make it here were all elites, there might even be those with the urge to flee right now.

No one expected to face a Monarch, even if it was the corpse of one.

"Indeed." Shi Tianyou nodded his head as he looked down on everyone and faintly said, "Take your men and get lost from here. This Prince will occupy this layer."

Xuan Luo's face gradually turned dark, but he did not make a move, since he could sense the danger coming from the corpse. Even he wasn't confident that he could win.

As Xuan Luo fell into silence, the entire region became repressed and many teams sighed in despair.

But all of a sudden, they saw a silhouette slowly rising into the sky.

"Mu Chen…" Qing Shuang and Qing Ling couldn't help exclaiming out when that saw that silhouette.

Standing in the sky, Mu Chen looked down on Shi Tianyou who was on the altar and his calm voice rumbled like thunder as it echoed between the heavens and earth, "You seized that corpse right before my eyes, and now, I will be the one to retrieve it back."
