The Great Ruler

As the ear-deafening cheers resounded across the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, all the students had their faces flushed with excitement as they looked at the silhouette in the sky. Their hearts were filled with indescribable respect.

During this period, they were constantly living in uneasiness under the threat of the Fiend Clans. However, who could've imagined that the entire situation would turn around at such a critical moment?

The invincible Black Corpse Sky Monarch in their eyes was as weak as an ant in before their Senior Brother, who erased it with a flick of a finger…

Everyone felt their blood boiling. After all, didn't they cultivate so that they could protect those close to them? Wasn't it so that they could stand out at such a crucial moment and receive everyone's respect?

"See that?! See that?! Didn't I tell all of you that as long as Senior Brother Mu Chen is here, that Black Corpse Sky Monarch will be finished?!" Sun'er had excitement on her face as she planted her hands by her waist and looked at the members of the Goddess Luo Association with pride.

"Big Sister Sun'er truly has foresight!" Everyone was still feeling helpless, despite her confidence a moment ago. But at this moment, they couldn't help raising their thumbs in respect.

"Haha, I'll see who dares to compete with our Goddess Luo Association in the future!"

The other students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy looked over with jealousy burning in their eyes. After this battle, the Goddess Luo Association would undoubtedly be the top association in the academy, and it would not change, no matter how many years pass.

That's because, even if they graduate and leave the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, they could probably scare everyone if they said that the force they came from was founded by Mu Chen, and the latter was their upperclassmen.

Some with meticulous thoughts were even thinking about finding an opportunity to join the Goddess Luo Association after this entire matter dies down…

"That fellow…" Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Wen Qingxuan recovered from their shock and exchanged a look with wry smiles.

That's because Mu Chen has exceeded their comprehension.

At this moment, they were still pursuing their paths to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, and they realised that Mu Chen has exceeded their range…

They didn't even have the courage to close this gap.

"Back then, why didn't I see that this fellow could become so powerful…?" Li Xuantong sighed as he turned to the gorgeous figure in the sky with his gaze dimmed. Back then, no one probably predicted that Mu Chen could reach such a height aside from Luo Li.

While everyone thought that she found an unremarkable stone amongst the sand, she firmly believed that the stone she found would shine brighter than any diamond.

Patting Li Xuantong's shoulder, Shen Cangsheng looked at him in sympathy. How could he not know that this fellow always had a thing for Luo Li? But it was a pity now, since he would never have that opportunity.

Wen Qingxuan also sighed. She always felt that Mu Chen wasn't compatible with Luo Li in the past. But at this moment, she had to admit that this youth that they fought back during the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament has grown to a height beyond their reach.

He was no longer that youth from back then, he was now standing on the peak of the Great Thousand World.

The Northern Sea Dragon and Dean Tai Cang descended from the sky. With the death of the Black Corpse Sky Monarch, the demonic calamity was no longer a threat. That also meant that the catastrophe that their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was facing would disappear. Hence, a smile crept up on their faces.

The four other Deans of the other Spiritual Academies also came to congratulate them. At the same time, their eyes were flickering with envy, since they knew that with such an alumni from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would surely grow stronger, and their fame would even resound throughout the Great Thousand World.

Perhaps in the future, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would take the leadership position amongst the Five Great Spiritual Academies.

The gloominess in this region had also disappeared and was replaced with cheers.

As Mu Chen brushed his sleeves in the sky, he erased the last strand of demonic aura and looked at his own hands. Evidently, even he was shocked by how strong he has become.

After all, even if he had brought out his full strength before he went into seclusion, he could only fight Maha Tian to the same level.

But right now, even if Maha Tian relied on the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, it's impossible for him to fight with Mu Chen.

Although Mu Chen has yet to leave his name on the Firmament Board, he could control a strand of the world's energy. Despite being a small strand, it has far exceeded any Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign.

"The past five years weren't in vain." Mu Chen muttered as he turned around and descended before Luo Li.

At this moment, Luo Li was looking at him, dumbfounded. She hadn't recovered from the shock. Only those with powerful strength could sense how terrifying Mu Chen's strength was.

"Come back." Mu Chen smiled as he waved his hand before her eyes.

As Luo Li's eyes rippled, she rolled her eyes at Mu Chen. However, she had no idea that this casual glance of hers could leave anyone intoxicated.

"Aren't I formidable?" Mu Chen smiled. He was being a little complacent. Only before his lover, he could reveal such a side of him.

"Alright, you're the best." Luo Li only found it hilarious and annoying at the same time as she nodded her head.

"Tsk, tsk. Mu Chen, you're now formidable." With an astonished voice, Lin Jing jumped out and looked at Mu Chen before pouting her lips. "I thought that I've managed to pull our gap closer, but you've thrown me further away instead."

Xiao Xiao had also come over and looked at Mu Chen with bewitching eyes. "You've succeeded?"

She knew the reason why Mu Chen was missing for the past five years.

Stretching his waist, Mu Chen's deep eyes looked in the space. "Still a little more."

He still hadn't left his name on the Firmament Board. However, he could already vaguely feel the existence of it…

As the four of them conversed, Mu Chen descended from the sky with them and they came before Dean Tai Cang and the Northern Sea Dragon.

Looking at the two familiar faces, Mu Chen also felt turmoil in his heart. Back then, when he left the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he was still a youth that had just stepped into the Sovereign Realm. But right now, he was already standing on the peak of the Great Thousand World…

"This student, Mu Chen, greets the Dean and Senior Northern Sea Dragon." Mu Chen cupped his hands together.

Although his strength has exceeded the two before him, Mu Chen still respected Dean Tai Cang and the Northern Sea Dragon. After all, the two have taken good care of him when he was in the academy.

Especially the Northern Sea Dragon, who had taught him the Lightning God's Physique. It was something that helped him greatly in the past.

Looking at Mu Chen's modest attitude, Dean Tai Cang and the Northern Sea Dragon felt gratified. That youth back then did not become arrogant because of his achievements, but he has maintained his modesty.

At this moment, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and Ye Qingling came over and were also rejoicing about their reunion.

"Big Brother Mu Chen!" Sun'er appeared before Mu Chen and smiled.

"Little Sun'er." Seeing Sun'er, Mu Chen couldn't help reminiscing the past. Back then, when he arrived in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he had encountered a little girl with a ponytail, whose face was filled with grievance.

And now, that little girl was all grown up.

"I'm not little anymore!"

Stretching his hand, Mu Chen caressed Sun'er's hair like how he did in the past, which messed the latter's hair up as she looked at him bitterly.

After chatting with Sun'er, Mu Chen saw Tang Qian'er, whose face wore a smile. The latter's long hair was well-kept. She no longer had the playfulness of the past and had grown mature now.

"It's all thanks to Big Sister Qian'er for crushing that talisman. I was able to sense the spatial node and rush here in time." Mu Chen smiled.

Tang Qian'er smiled as she looked at Mu Chen and Luo Li, who were standing together. The two of them were dazzling and they attracted all the attention.

"This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, our Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy would not have been able to escape from this calamity." Tang Qian'er gently sighed with sorrow. The Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy had some casualties amongst their students when they left for the Northern Heavens Continent.

Mu Chen could only gently pat her shoulder as a form of comfort.

"Big Brother Mu Chen, are you going to leave now?" Sun'er interrupted. Her words attracted everyone's eyes over.

Sensing the reluctance in everyone's eyes, Mu Chen smiled before he raised his head and looked at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, at this place that was filled with his memories of the past. "I will stay in the Northern Heavens Continent for a few days and resolve the demonic calamity in the Great Thousand World completely…"

Hearing Mu Chen's words, an ear-deafening cheer exploded from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled as he held the cold hand and looked into space.

He knew that this was the last moment of peace for him before the final battle began.
