The Great Ruler

As the crimson blood drizzled down, everyone kept their silence. The power that the Blood Demon Monarch has displayed was too powerful. It was only a drop of blood, but it had thrown Mu Chen so far away…

Facing this power, the residents couldn't even muster the courage to fight. If Mu Chen failed, then they would rather kill themselves to be free.

While the residents were startled by the Blood Demon Monarch's might, the Blood Demon Mountain was also covered in cheers with the birth of the Blood Demon Monarch.

Although the Blood Demon Kings had been killed, their clan wouldn't fall as long as the Blood Demon Monarch existed; on the contrary, they would even flourish!

Mu Chen disregarded those voices. His gaze was fixed on the Blood Demon Monarch with cold light gathering in his eyes.

As he stomped his feet, his silhouette soared into the sky and a brilliant spiritual light that looked like a dazzling sun shone as his two clones followed behind him.

Mu Chen's body trembled and the True Dragon Spirit appeared. As it roared, it fused into Mu Chen's body with dragon scales appearing on his skin like an armor that covered his body.

A pair of phoenix wings also spread out behind him, allowing him to shuttle through space in a flap.

Before the battle, he had already fused the True Dragon and Phoenix Spirits with his body so that he could bring his fighting prowess to its greatest height.

Mu Chen charged forth and appeared before the Blood Demon Monarch, then threw his fist out. Violent Spiritual Energy gathered on his fist and added a crystallized layer that emanated a destructive power.

Even the Greater Blood Demon King wouldn't dare to take it head-on. However, the Blood Demon Monarch merely cast an indifferent glance at it before stretching his hand out and gently patted Mu Chen's fist.

As the palm and fist came in contact, a metallic clash echoed out with Mu Chen suffering a massive blow and he was shot out. He was akin to a meteorite as he shot deep into the ground.

When Mu Chen's main body attracted the Blood Demon Monarch's attention, his clones practically moved at the same time and their palms with surging Spiritual Energy heavily slammed against the back of the Blood Demon Monarch.

However, this ferocious attack couldn't move the Blood Demon Monarch. The latter's gaze flickered before a ferocious crimson light swept out from his back.

Mu Chen's clones were swept by it and they were blown back, then shot deeply into the two mountains nearby…

In just a few breaths' time, Mu Chen and his clones were swiftly being dealt with. Furthermore, they even suffered injuries.

The Blood Demon Monarch stood in the sky, looking at the massive crater, in the direction of Mu Chen's main body, his gaze flickering and pointing out.

A crimson beam shot out and expanded, turning into a gigantic python. The python was extremely ferocious, it even devoured the fragments of space before charging into the crater down below.

The python charged into the crater, but in the next moment, a crimson light spread out and the massive python suddenly crumbled…

Up in the sky, the Blood Demon Monarch squinted his eyes.

Boundless Battle Will charged into the sky from the crater with thousands of silhouettes slowly rising into the sky. Mu Chen's silhouette stood within it with a boundless ocean of Battle Will surging around him.

"Battle Will Spirit!" Mu Chen's voice echoed out with the thousands of the Black Dragon Army acknowledging with a holler. In the next instant, a myriad foot of Battle Will soared into the sky and condensed into a massive dragon that rested in a coiled position, emitting a terrifying pressure.

This time, Mu Chen had used a total of 6,000 members from the Black Dragon Army, and that's basically the limit of what he could control. If the amount added more, then he probably might have to suffer a setback on Battle Will.

On the other hand, the Battle Will formed by 6,000 Black Dragon Army was a lot stronger than any other times it had condensed.

The dragon roared towards the sky, bringing along the torrential Battle Will as it shot out, brandishing its claw towards the Blood Demon Monarch, and even the sky had collapsed beneath its claw.

Looking at the claw, the Blood Demon Monarch stretched out his hand and a crimson light gathered over. His hand swiftly swell up before he gave a slap and clashed with the Battle Will Dragon's claw.

A violent storm swept up in the sky with the destructive wind causing the sky to darken in its path.

The dragon issued a furious roar as its massive body was sent flying back. At the same time, the Blood Demon Monarch's body lightly trembled before taking a few steps back.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, his eyes squinted. He never expected that he could only briefly push the Blood Demon Monarch back with 6,000 members of the Black Dragon Army.

"Lord Mu, you'll need 10,000 members from the Black Dragon Army if you wish to confront this Monarch." Jiang Long, the commander of the Black Dragon Army, said behind Mu Chen.

Mu Chen pursed his lips. Controlling 6,000 was already his limit. So if he commanded even more, then he would suffer a setback while facing the Blood Demon Monarch. At that time, he would lose before they even fought.

Thus, he could tell from this that there's a significant gap between him and the Monarch.

The Blood Demon Monarch stabilised his silhouette and looked at Mu Chen. "Quite a few means, no wonder you're able to push my Blood Fiend Clan this far.

"But the gap between us isn't something that can be supplemented with any means you use."

When his voice landed, he opened his mouth and a terrifying suction force burst out that was akin to a black hole that devoured the heavens and earth.

Most of that suction force was used on the dragon, and Mu Chen's face changed. He could sense that no matter how he resisted, the dragon was still being pulled towards the mouth of the Blood Demon Monarch.

With their Battle Will being devoured, the 6,000 Black Dragon Army spewed mouthfuls of blood and were heavily injured.

Mu Chen's face was grim at this scene before he said to Jiang Long, "You guys back down for now."

"Lord Mu, be cautious." Jiang Long felt guilty, since he knew that the Black Dragon Army had suffered a heavy blow, and they wouldn't be able to grant any help to Mu Chen by being here. Thus, he waved his hand and retreated with the Black Dragon Army.

The Blood Demon Monarch indifferently looked down at Mu Chen. "Bring out any means if you still have some and entertain me. Perhaps I might let you have an easy death that way."

Mu Chen knitted his brows. This was his first time fighting with a Monarch. After fighting him, he understood how powerful the Heavenly Sovereign Realm was and the gap between them. In the past, he had still underestimated the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Although he had many means, they were clearly not effective when facing a powerhouse of this level.

"Perhaps I can only resort to that move…" Mu Chen gradually closed his eyes and his clothes stopped fluttering, sticking to his body. No matter how the gale blew, it couldn't shake his clothes.

The Blood Demon Monarch looked at Mu Chen with a smile as he tugged his chest without any worries. Evidently, he didn't feel that Mu Chen could cross the gap between them, no matter what he brought out.

As the sounds of wind and rain blew, Mu Chen closed his eyes and it all seemed to have disappeared, as if he's the only one between the heavens and earth…

Mu Chen's heart was akin to a well without any ripples. It was so much so that he had even forgotten about the Blood Demon Monarch.

Mu Chen had no idea how long he was under this empty-minded state. Suddenly, he sensed two fluctuations that were like pebbles being tossed into the river, lifting ripples…

The two ripples grew even more violent and two lights slowly rose up.

"Take form into real spirits…" A murmur resounded within the silence and the two lights blossomed, forming into the two clones of him.

However, those weren't real clones, but the spirits of the two clones. Back then, when Mu Chen learned the Three Pures, he had separated his spirit from his body into three.

In the past, Mu Chen couldn't sense the two spirits, but after having a trace of comprehension from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he could already give it a try. However, they felt blurry, and he didn't think that he could succeed.

But facing a powerful enemy, he finally gained a comprehension and successfully summoned the two other spirits.

"Spirits Unite, the... Three Combination Realm." Mu Chen muttered in his heart and the two spirits flew over, merging with him.

In the outside world, the two clones had appeared before his main body, then they took a step and entered Mu Chen's body…

When the two clones disappeared, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes with lights flickering in them. His gestures emanated an indescribable pressure that caused the heavens and earth to tremble.

Although he wasn't moving, a powerful gale swept out between the heavens and earth.

The Blood Demon Monarch looked at the changes of Mu Chen with shock in his eyes before he indifferently smiled. "It's finally getting interesting, now…"
