The Great Ruler

Hearing Mu Chen's provocative voice, Shi Tianyou's gaze flickered with a cold light as he sinisterly smiled. "You think that you can fight with me and the Monarch's corpse with more people? How naïve!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and brutally said, "Slaughter this entire army and leave no one alive!"

The Monarch's corpse roared with torrential demonic aura sweeping out from the skeletal body, wreaking havoc between the heavens and earth, causing it to tremble as well.

Facing the pressure, the faces of everyone from the Great Thousand World changed. Their eyes flashed with fear, and even Mo Xin and Xuan Luo's expressions have sunk.

The Monarch's corpse turned into a beam of demonic light as it flew towards the Black Dragon Army of five thousand strong.

"Hmph." Mu Chen snorted and the Battle Will from five thousand Black Dragon Army surged. It had caused the heavens and earth to change colors as an ocean of Battle Will violently roared. A massive Battle Will dragon stretched its head out, opening its mouth with a myriad foot-long dragon breath blew towards the Monarch that was charging over with destructive ripples.

The Monarch's corpse roared, but it did not cower. Facing the dragon breath of Battle Will, it opened its mouth and a large demonic smoke gushed out, clashing with the Battle Will of dragon breath.

In that instant of contact, the entire region trembled and an indescribable hurricane wreaked havoc with many people down below being affected as the shock wave blew towards them.

Despite being blown, everyone's gazes were still fixated on the confrontation. As the hurricane disappeared, the dragon breath and demonic smoke briefly persisted before they broke apart. Looking from the looks of it, it was a tie!

Clearly, along with an additional two thousand warriors, the Battle Will could already confront the Monarch's Corpse.

Thus, cheers rang out from around the altar. Those that initially felt fearful for the appearance of the Monarch's corpse felt heavily relieved.

"He really managed to do it!" Qing Ling widened her eyes with disbelief written on her face.

That was the corpse of a Monarch! Even Mo Xin was blown away by it, and yet Mu Chen actually managed to resist it with an army!

Qing Shuang bit on her lips while looking at the youthful silhouette with a complicated expression. Evidently, this scene had greatly affected her.

Compared to their exclamations of admiration, Mo Xin and Xuan Luo's faces were dark. In the past, they're the ones enjoying such gazes from everyone. But today, they'd fallen as far as being observers.

The cheers from the surroundings caused Shi Tianyou's brows to slightly furrow before he looked at Mu Chen with a grave expression. Although he had obtained the Monarch's corpse from that space, Mu Chen had also received a mighty army that killed this Monarch back then, and with the strength of this army, Mu Chen did not need to be afraid of the Monarch's corpse!

Shi Tianyou's gaze flickered before he swept his glance at the black coffin at the altar with greed in his eyes. That's the soul fragment of a Sky Monarch! If he could obtain and refine it, he would be able to step into the Monarch Realm!

So, no matter what, he had to obtain the soul fragment of the Monarch, regardless of anything!

He waved his hand and the Monarch's corpse charged towards the army one again, while his silhouette retreated, heading towards the peak of the altar.

His action had attracted gasps. Those experts from the Great Thousand World knew that if Shi Tianyou broke apart the coffin and released the soul fragment of the Monarch, none of them here would be able to live!

Mo Xin and Xuan Luo's gazes changed before they burst out, intending to obstruct Shi Tianyou, since they knew that there could only be one inheritor. So the one with the greatest contribution would have a higher chance of obtaining it. Now that Mu Chen was busy with the Monarch's corpse, they could take the opportunity to seize the benefits!

"Stay!" But when they moved, the experts from the Flame Demon Clan and Blade Demon Clan roared and appeared before Mo Xin and Xuan Luo to obstruct the two of them.

"Get lost!" Mo Xin and Xuan Luo barked out with a storm of Spiritual Energy sweeping towards those two experts.

Thus, both sides got locked into a battle once more, and the commotion caused tremors.

Mu Chen had also noticed Shi Tianyou's actions, so he narrowed his eyes. He could guess the latter's intention, so Mu Chen absolutely couldn't let him accomplish it.

Mu Chen's silhouette flew; he separated from the army and turned into a beam, flying towards the altar. As for the Black Dragon Army, there's still his clones managing it. Although it wouldn't be as easy compared to the three of them controlling it, it wouldn't be a problem for them to control the Battle Will to hold back the Monarch's corpse.

Mu Chen's silhouette fell onto the altar with his gaze fixated on Shi Tianyou. Shi Tianyou had also stopped and looked at Mu Chen with dangerous flickers in his eyes. "You're pretty daring. You actually dare to separate from your army and come and stop me alone? With your strength as a Greater Earth Sovereign?"

Mu Chen smiled as he responded, "You'll know once you try."

"Then this Prince wants to give it a try now!" Shi Tianyou sinisterly smiled and his silhouette disappeared. Vaguely, a blurred streak could be seen shuttling through the sky and shot towards Mu Chen.

Without changing his expression, Mu Chen stomped his foot and countless Spiritual Seals flew out before integrating into the surroundings. "Soaring Flame Array!"

As Mu Chen roared, a massive Spiritual Array was formed with boundless Spiritual Energy gathering over, turning into a colossal figure that emanated a terrifying temperature before him as it threw a jab out in the direction of the distorted space.

Space shattered and Shi Tianyou's figure appeared. He looked at the Soaring Flame Array with a cold light flickering in his eyes. Slightly bending his knees, he turned into afterimages and appeared before that colossal figure in the next moment.

His hand was like a knife that was shrouded with a terrifying deathly aura. His hand pierced through space and immediately stabbed into the chest of that colossal figure.

As the deathly aura spread out, the colossal figure had instantly shattered along with the Soaring Flame Array as well.

"What power!" Mu Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes at this scene, since he never expected that Shi Tianyou would be so powerful. The Soaring Flame Array could only buy him such a short amount of time before it shattered!

"You're next!" Destroying the Soaring Flame Array, Shi Tianyou sinisterly smiled and appeared before Mu Chen, then pushed his palm forth with a torrential deathly aura that seemed like it could devour all vitality.

Mu Chen's gaze flickered at this scene before a crystallised Spiritual Energy converged and his entire hand turned into crystal while confronting Shi Tianyou's palm.

The ground beneath their feet, which was forged with special material, cracked as the dense deathly aura enveloped Mu Chen's palm, constantly devouring his life force.

However, a crystallised luster blossomed from Mu Chen's palm. He used all his power to seal that deathly aura.

When the two palms clashed, Mu Chen's eyes beamed as the Divine Pagoda flew out and expanded into a massive pagoda that enveloped Mu Chen and Shi Tianyou.

This sudden change had caused Shi Tianyou's brows to furrow. Mu Chen had taken his palm on purpose so that he could trap him in the pagoda.

A deathly aura enveloped Shi Tianyou as he cautiously looked around. In the next moment, his gaze was fixated on a crystallised ball with strands of a yellow gale whistling in it that made Shi Tianyou feel threatened.

"Felt it yet?" Mu Chen faintly smiled as he formed seals with a single hand, and the light ball hovering above the Divine Pagoda started to fade, unleashing the gale sealed within it.

When the seal disappeared, the Spirit Dispelling Gale that was trapped within roared. With his thoughts controlling it, the sealing energy spread out in the Divine Pagoda, restricting the Spirit Dispelling Gale to envelop Shi Tianyou before the yellow gale wreaked havoc in the Divine Pagoda, emanating a terrifying aura.

Seeing the gale, Shi Tianyou's face uncontrollably changed, but he did not dare to be slow. Taking a deep breath, an endless amount of corpse aura blew out from his mouth and formed into an ocean that protected him within it.

When Shi Tianyou had completed his defense, the Spirit Dispelling Gale had also swept over and blew against the ocean of corpse aura.

Mu Chen curiously looked at this scene. He wished to see how powerful the Spirit Dispelling Gale that he had sealed from the sudden inspiration he had back then was.
