The Great Ruler

As light gathered over and enveloped Mu Chen, a will soared into the sky so he closed his eyes under the protection of countless lights and charged into the void…

Not knowing how long it was, Mu Chen's will suddenly open his eyes and saw himself in a world of the primal universe. This place looked to be the beginning of the world.

Looking at the primal universe, Mu Chen slowly spread his will out to sense the hidden Plane's Spirit…

He did not get a reply, but as the light around him grew stronger, he finally sensed a peculiar fluctuation coming from the primal chaos.

The primal chaos seemed to contain endless lives with vitality that left Mu Chen shocked. This energy was extremely pure and ancient, as if it was born with this plane…

Mu Chen looked at the primal chaos that looked like an ocean and he could sense a great fluctuation, which should be the Plane's Spirit.

The sea of primal chaos suddenly rippled with splashes resounding. There was a huge vortex in the center and a thousand foot sphere of primal chaos slowly rose.

This sphere looked like a heart that faintly throbbed, and along with its every pulse, the entire plane would tremble along with it. When it breathed, there seemed to be a storm gathering over with tides retreating…

"This is the Plane's Spirit?" Mu Chen looked at this sphere. Although he couldn't sense any consciousness, he could sense a spirituality within it.

"Mhm?" Mu Chen suddenly squinted his eyes and saw a trace of blood on the sphere that seemed like a bug that was in disharmony with the sphere.

"This is because of the Blood Fiend Clan's invasion and because they have slaughtered countless lifeforms, so the Plane's Spirit has also been affected?" Mu Chen's gaze flashed as he figured it out.

But this situation had made him rejoice even more, since the Plane's Spirit had sensed the threat from the Blood Fiend Clan. Thus, it should be helping him.

With this thought, Mu Chen's will slowly approached.

"Plane's Spirit, I can help you expel the Blood Fiend Clan, but I need your power right now." Mu Chen did not conceal, but revealed his objective. He knew that although this Plane's Spirit didn't have a consciousness, it has spirituality, and it could judge any harm done to the plane.

The light of primal chaos faintly trembled, but it did not move. Mu Chen knew that it was because he wasn't someone from the plane, so the Plane's Spirit was also in conflict. If Bai Susu was here, then the spirit would've helped the latter by now.

However, he wasn't in a rush and solemnly said, "The Blood Demon Monarch is powerful, and if he breaks free, I won't be able to fight him. At that time, I can only choose to protect myself and leave this plane. This plane will also suffer the invasion of the Blood Fiend Clan with all lifeforms being devoured.

"At that time, even if you're the Plane's Spirit, you too will not be able to escape the invasion of the Blood Demon Monarch and be refined." Mu Chen's words were brutal. The Plane's Spirit had also been infected and had violently throbbed, but it did not take a step forth in the end.

Mu Chen's gaze flicked. He knew that it wasn't enough. If he refined this Plane's Spirit, then he would be equivalent to the ruler of this plan and determine all the lifeforms' lives and deaths with just a thought.

As the protector, the Plane's Spirit clearly wasn't willing to believe in outsiders.

Thus, Mu Chen took another step forth. "If I'm the ruler of this plane, I can swear that I will keep the peace of this plane. As long as I'm still alive, no Fiend Clan will take a step into this world!"

His voice was robust and echoed for a long time.

He swore within his heart. Although others couldn't sense it, the Plane's Spirit was born from the heavens and earth, so it could surely sense it. If his heart wasn't sincere, then it wouldn't be able to escape the senses of the Plane's Spirit as well.

Thus, not longer after Mu Chen made his promise, the Plane's Spirit burst out with a myriad feet of primal chaos light along with a celestial note.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help being excited. He knew that the Plane's Spirit had conceded…

Thus, his body outside Blood Demon Mountain had also disappeared with a single thought and appeared here.

Mu Chen's will returned to his body and he looked at the sphere of primal chaos before he passed through the barrier and landed on the sphere.

He sat down and shut his eyes then slowly entered the primal chaos sphere.

Time slowed down here, and it just so happens that he would have time to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

When his body entered the sphere, Mu Chen's body trembled, and he could sense the boundless Primal Chaos Energy coming from every direction as it poured down into his heart.

The Primal Chaos Energy originated from the origin of the Lower Plane. It's boundless and majestic, and even in the Great Thousand World, it could be considered as top-tiered energy. But it could only be found in places where the Plane's Spirit was born.

Sensing the boundless energy, Mu Chen immediately circulated his cultivation technique and his body trembled. It was akin to a hungry mouth as it devoured that energy.

In just ten-odd breath, Mu Chen felt as if he had devoured a few billion drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. His heart instantly trembled. He never expected that the Plane's Spirit would be so pure and boundless. It's truly worthy of being a spiritual entity born between the heavens and earth.

As his thoughts circulated, he calmed his heart and sank into cultivation.

Mu Chen also wasn't anxious within the Primal Chaos and allowed the Primal Chaos Energy to endlessly pour into his body. It was also in this state, and for ten-odd years, his figure was akin to a boulder without moving. Even his breathing had faintly dimmed down.

…

Time had slowed down in the primal chaos, and only the Primal Chaos Energy endlessly poured into Mu Chen's head…

This state lasted for a long time before a change suddenly appeared. Mu Chen's body trembled, and in the next moment, his eyes slowly opened.

When his eyes opened, a light shot out from his eyes that was extremely dazzling. It then shot into the primal chaos and disappeared.

Mu Chen slowly clenched his fist and sensed the boundless Spiritual Energy in his body. His body lightly trembled, as if there was a countless amount of rumbling thunder echoing out.

Radiance burst out from Mu Chen's body, then Mu Chen's body started to swell. In just a few breaths' time, Mu Chen was a thousand feet tall before he sat down in the primal chaos.

His body was emanating a holy radiance that looked like a sun that radiated a luster in the primal chaos.

Looking at his own body, Mu Chen could feel every single inch of his body and blood containing boundless Spiritual Energy.

This Spiritual Energy had filled his body. It was so much so that he couldn't contain anymore.

It felt like a lake was being filled to the limit, and any more would cause the lake to leak out.

At this moment, he had already reached the limit beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. According to his estimation, if he faced experts that had come in contact with the Heavenly Sovereign Realm right now, he could easily slaughter them with a palm.

Reaching this far, he could also sense the existence of a barrier that held his steps.

"Looks like it's the Heavenly Sovereign Realm barrier now…" Mu Chen's face fell into pondering. Now that he has reached his limit, any more might break the barrier, but there's also a possibility that he might die, and this barrier was truly terrifying.

Mu Chen's gaze flickered before it turned sharp. The path of cultivation was filled with trials, to begin with, and if he wanted to reach the top, he would need to have courage. Today was his opportunity, and if he passed it, he had no idea when he would get another chance.

Mu Chen's face turned resolute without any hesitation and fear. Raising his head, he looked into the void and said, "Please aid me in breaking the Heavenly Barrier!"

The primal chaos briefly remained silent before the Primal Chaos Sphere rose up and instantly shrunk down, then turned into a beam of light that charged into Mu Chen's head.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen closed his eyes.

Success or failure, it all depends on this!
