The Great Ruler

The Empress's hoarse voice resounded within the palace, causing everyone's faces to change before they held their guard up and looked in that direction. There's actually someone here that they've not noticed?

Under the nervous gazes in the palace, the silence lasted for a long time before ripples were lifted and everyone saw a slender silhouette appear, before landing in the palace.

"What keen senses." Mu Chen said as he looked at the Empress in shock.

He concealed himself so that even some top-tiered Perfected Earth Sovereigns wouldn't be able to detect him in the Great Thousand World. He never expected that he would be discovered now.

"My senses are keener than others, so I was able to detect you." Looking at that youth, the Empress smiled. Her tone no longer held any prestige because she felt a faint pressure coming from the former, a pressure that made her feel threatened. That meant that this person was extremely powerful.

"Great God!" The young lady excitedly called out upon seeing Mu Chen.

A commotion lifted in the palace with everyone looking at Mu Chen. They never thought that this young-looking man would be the Great God that the young lady spoke about.

"Hmph, you're the one that created the mess?" A snicker resounded from the sinister-looking old man who coldly looked at Mu Chen before he hollered, "Do you know what mess you've created? You dare to slaughter the Blood Fiend Clan's experts of a city, don't you know that you have implicated us?!"

Mu Chen turned his head and swept a glance at that old man before he laughed, "Looks like no matter where we are, there will always be traitors."

"What did you say?!" The old man flared up.

But just when his voice landed, Mu Chen's silhouette had appeared before him. The old man's expression changed and a crimson light surged in his eyes before energy exploded out from his body as he tried to push a palm out.

But before his strength could erupt, a slender hand grabbed onto his throat, disregarding his defenses.

Mu Chen raised his head and lifted the old man. No matter how the latter struggled, he couldn't even shake away Mu Chen's hand.

"Are you even qualified to speak with me?" Mu Chen smiled with disgust and disdain in his eyes.

The old man finally had fear on his face. He could sense how terrifying this mysterious youth was…

"Let me go! Otherwise, the Blood Fiend Clan won't let you go!" The old man struggled.

"Rest assured. You're still not qualified for me to make a move." Mu Chen casually waved his hand and threw the old man at a pillar. His entire body was embedded in the pillar with powerful energy binding him, stopping him from moving. He could only stay on the pillar like a decoration.

This scene dumbfounded everyone, the Grand Minister was the strongest after the Empress, but this mysterious youth had dealt with him so easily.

The other Ministers also had their faces turn pale as they constantly retreated and did not dare to look at Mu Chen, fearing that they might be next.

Under the silence, Mu Chen swept his gaze out, and those that looked at him would tremble in fear from the enormous pressure they felt.

In the end, his gaze fell onto the Empress. The latter wasn't afraid to look at him in the eye.

"I initially thought that this might be the last shelter for this world, but I never expected that it would be a pit." Mu Chen smiled at the Empress.

From their previous conversation, he came to know that this so-called "last shelter" had to send out millions of their citizens as livestock.

Hearing the ridicule in Mu Chen's words, the Empress' face turned pale with guilt.

"Lord… the Empress has already done her best. If it wasn't for her constantly fighting for us, perhaps we might not even have this city." Some from the higher hierarchy couldn't help speaking up for their Empress.

"Enough." The Empress stopped everyone and responded, "I'm indeed, useless and wasn't able to save everyone."

When she raised her head, her gaze was blazing as she looked at Mu Chen. "Lord, you're not from the Blood Fiend Clan, and only you can become the king to protect us."

From Mu Chen's previous display of his power, he could be comparable to a Blood Demon King, and under his protection, the Blood Fiend Clan would also be fearful of him.

Mu Chen couldn't help casting his lips aside from her words. This woman had treated him as a lifeform of this world.

Thus, he sourly replied, "I'm not someone from your world."

The Empress was briefly stunned before she became excited, "Lord, can it be that you're from beyond this world?"

"Looks like you know some stuff." Mu Chen was surprised by her reaction. It looked like she knew the existence of the Great Thousand World.

"I've read from some ancient records that there's a world beyond this, and the experts of that world are capable of confronting the Blood Fiend Clan." The Empress replied.

Everyone's eyes in the palace turned red as they looked at Mu Chen in excitement.

Looking at their gazes, his expression change just when he wanted to speak and he turned to look in a direction. "It looks like trouble is here."

Hearing Mu Chen's words, the others still had no idea what he's talking about, but the Empress' face couldn't help changing with hatred and a trace of fear in her eyes.

Not long after Mu Chen's voice resounded, everyone saw the sky starting to turn dark and a crimson cloud was gradually forming in the sky, covering it in the stench of blood.

"Shit, the Blood Fiend Clan is here!" The Higher Hierarchy's faces changed with dense fear in their eyes.

At this moment, the city had also gone into chaos with many residents looking at the sky in fear and despaired voices. In this world, the appearance of the Blood Fiend Clan was a terrifying matter.

The crimson cloud flew over and appeared in the sky of this city with countless crimson silhouettes.

The crimson cloud spread apart with four robust demonic deity silhouettes appearing, tugging their arms and looking at the city with a great pressure sweeping out from their bodies.

"Four Blood Demon Generals!" Looking at those silhouettes, the higher hierarchy in the palace turned pale with fear on their faces. Even their Empress could only face one of the Blood Demon Generals by herself.

Mu Chen's gaze wasn't looking at the four Blood Demon Generals, but behind them with his eyes squinted.

Under Mu Chen's gaze, the four Blood Demon General separated and a crimson throne appeared with a crimson-robed silhouette lazily seated on it.

When that silhouette appeared, everyone in the palace started to tremble with despair in their eyes. Some of them had even fallen to the ground.

Even the Empress clenched her fist as her body trembled. "Even the Blood Demon King is here…"

"Blood Demon King?" Mu Chen looked at that silhouette. 'This is the Blood Demon King?' According to his perception, the strength of this Blood Demon King was actually comparable to the likes of Violet Cloud Lord, experts that have touched the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

This strength could already make Mu Chen look at him to be of the same level. At the same time, that silhouette looked down on the city with indifference in his eyes, as if he was the sovereign here.

In the next moment, his voice emotionally resounded, "Hand the person over, and for punishment, this king will be taking ten million food."

His voice echoed, leaving everyone in the city in despair, even those in the palace were trembling.

"Keke, weren't you people so happy earlier?" The old man who was embedded in the pillar laughed as he viciously looked at Mu Chen.

The higher hierarchy looked at the Empress and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

They sneaked glances at Mu Chen and also felt that they should hand him over.

Mu Chen watched this scene with a smile on his face. He did not speak but looked at the Empress and awaited her choice.

Silence covered the palace with everyone looking at the Empress. The latter had clenched her fist and her body trembled. Shortly after, she took a deep breath and her ample chest heaved up and down.

She slowly swept her glance around and said, "Everyone, do you guys really wish to live like this? Allowing them to keep us as livestock?"

Everyone's eyes turned red as their bodies trembled. They hated the Blood Fiend Clan, but the Blood Fiend Clan's absolute strength made them feel despair.

The Empress continued, "No matter what thoughts you guys have, I already no longer want to be kept as livestock by them…"

As she spoke, the Empress' face turned decisive and she swept her glance out. "So this time, I won't hand anyone over!"

Everyone in the palace trembled as they looked at Mu Chen in complicated light. How could they not tell that their Empress had entrusted all her hope onto that mysterious youth…?

If they lost, then their entire race would be annihilated. Mu Chen was also looking at the Empress in shock. Her decision was too decisive. After all, not just anyone could make such a choice.

Thus, he took a deep glance at the Empress. "Are there any more existences more powerful than the Blood Demon King amongst the Blood Fiend Clan?"

The Empress shook her head. "There are six Blood Demon Kings in the Blood Fiend Clan, and they're sovereigns."

"Since that's the case…" Mu Chen gently breathed out and walked out of the palace under everyone's view before his voice spread out, "Then they will only be left with five after today."
