The Great Ruler

In the location where the two factions fought, the ground was damaged with the sky dark. It was so much so that even space was unstable. There would occasionally be cracks spreading out…

In the half-year, both sides have used this location as the battlefield, and both sides suffered a huge sacrifice. It was so much so that the ground was dyed in red, to state its brutality.

Because this continent was an important battlefield between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans, it was known as the Spirit Demon Continent.

There was an endless abyss that stretched out on this continent that seemed like the jaws of a demon. Within the abyss, there was a massive current that surged and crashed against the rocks that emitted an ear-deafening sound.

One side of the Spirit Demon Continent was the demonic territory, while the other side was the Great Thousand World.

Over the past half-year, the battle on the Spirit Demon Continent never rested. But today, there was an unusual and rare silence on this continent that was dyed crimson in blood.

However, everyone knew that this silence was brewing a destructive storm that concerned the fate of the Great Thousand World…

If they could get through this tribulation, the Great Thousand World would enjoy peace. Otherwise, all lives on the Great Thousand World would be enslaved and butchered, living an inhumane life.

So at this moment, countless secret arts were executed and Spiritual Energy formed into mirrors that projected this place to every corner of the Great Thousand World.

This day, everyone in the Great Thousand World raised their heads and an enormous mirror was formed above every continent that projected the Spirit Demon Continent.

Everyone placed down the matters on their hands and looked at the mirror with trembling gazes and many people constantly trying to pray.

They prayed that the Great Thousand World will emerge victorious.

As their gazes shot through the mirror, they could see the east of the Spirit Demon Continent filled with spiritual radiance and a multitude of people stretching out to the end. It was so much so that people were even trying to make their way over at this moment.

Evidently, the majority of the experts in the Great Thousand World were gathering towards the Spirit Demon Continent.

On the other hand, the west was dominated with a demonic aura, where a massive and thick demonic cloud ws stretching towards the heavens and earth. Vaguely, ferocious gazes could be seen as if they were asuras that crawled their way out of hell, wanting to bring destruction to the world.

…

On the east of the Spirit Demon Continent that was fluctuating with Spiritual Energy, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor stood with their hands behind their backs and everyone from the Great Thousand World looked at those two figures, feeling assurance.

Over the years, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor's existences stopped the Fiend Clans from invading the Great Thousand World. For the Great Thousand World, those two were undisputed leaders.

The four mistresses of the Martial Realm and Endless Fire Territory, along with the other Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns, stood behind the two of them.

They wore solemn expressions as they nervously looked at the Fiend Clans. Evidently, they felt fearful and uneasy about the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

Everyone was extremely nervous, while the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor remained calm. Their eyes were deep, as if they could pierce through the distance of space.

"Time truly waits for no one. If we had another thirty years, we would be able to leave our full names on the Firmament Board, and at that time, we would be able to deal with the Heavenly Evil Monarch, despite his power." The Martial Ancestor sighed in regret.

The Flame Emperor nodded his head in agreement as he had a similar idea. They only needed another thirty years to leave their full names on the Firmament Board.

At that time, there wouldn't be a need for them to be afraid of the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

However, the Heavenly Evil Monarch probably sensed this as well, and he would surely not allow them to turn the tables around.

With this thought, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor sighed. They weren't afraid, but they only felt regret, since they're only a step away from reaching the pinnacle.

"Mhm?" The two of them suddenly narrowed their eyes and raised their heads as they looked at the boundless demonic aura at the west.

At this moment, Qin Tian, the Azure Sword Saint, True Dragon Emperor, and other pinnacle powerhouses in the Great Thousand World felt a suffocating demonic pressure that descended from the sky and enveloped the entire world.

Under that pressure, even Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns like them felt fearful.

The grand formation of the Great Thousand World fell into silence with fear on their faces.

"We pay our respects to the deity!" The Fiend Clans cheered as all of them kneeled.

Even the Saint Sky Monarch and other pinnacle powerhouses kneeled as they viciously looked at the Great Thousand World. They knew that the descent of the Heavenly Evil Monarch would break the balance between the two.

Amongst the cheers, the demonic cloud surged and a silhouette appeared at the front of the Fiend Clans' formation.

That figure had handsome features and flickered with radiance around him. There wasn't any of the sinister aura that belonged to the Fiend Clans, and under that smile, he seemed unusually benevolent.

However, the three eyes on his forehead gave him a slightly sinister aura. The two different temperaments combined together and looked extremely mysterious.

He was the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

Waving his hand, the Heavenly Evil Monarch calmed the heated cheers and looked at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor's direction with a smile. "Five years later, we meet again."

His voice wasn't loud, but it had caused the Spirit Demon Continent to tremble with sound waves spreading out across the sky, causing the sky to collapse.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor's countenances were also cold as they turned to the Heavenly Evil Monarch with sharp gazes.

"You two are truly stunning. If I couldn't rely on my foundation, I really might not be able to deal with the two of you. Thus, if the two of you are willing to receive my Evil Monarch Seal, I can let the Great Thousand World live." The Heavenly Evil Monarch looked at the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor as he spoke.

"We'll never believe in the benevolence of enemies." The Flame Emperor smiled. "Furthermore, it's still unsure as to who will win this fight."

Hearing his words, the Heavenly Evil Monarch indifferently smiled. "The two of you have grown stronger within these five years. But as I've said, there won't be anyone in your Great Thousand World that can stop me once I have reached my nine-eyed state."

When he finished, he took a step forth and a terrifying demonic pressure exploded with a million foot-high demonic pillar soaring into the sky and devoured all light.

Within the darkness, the terrifying demonic pressure spread out, making everyone feel endless fear.

In the direction of the Great Thousand World, everyone fell into darkness as they exclaimed in fear. This darkness seemed to be able to corrode the hearts of the people, even Heavenly Sovereigns were trembling, and they were having a tough time controlling the violence in their hearts.

As the Great Thousand World fell into chaos, a huge flame blazed and turned into a lotus that slowly revolved, permeating with a radiance that expelled the darkness.

On the lotus, the Flame Emperor's hair loosely scattered as he showed a cold expression.

At the same time, eight ancient runes revolved and turned into a halo with huge waves spreading out to expel the darkness.

With the flaming lotus and ancient runes circulating, they occupied an entire sky and expelled the darkness.

However, the darkness continued to spread out across the land, constantly devouring the light, trying to shroud the Great Thousand World in darkness once more.

Both sides were constantly corroding each other and the radiance was flickering between light and darkness.

Everyone from the Great Thousand World looked at this scene as they trembled. They constantly prayed, since they knew that the lotus and runes were their last hope.

"As I've said, the two of you can't stop me." The Heavenly Evil Monarch indifferently looked at this before he waved his sleeve and a boundless darkness steadily spread out.

As the darkness gradually devoured the light from the lotus and runes, everyone felt a chill in their hearts at this scene. 'Is the Heavenly Evil Monarch really going to win?'

While they were in despair, an unusual sound rang out and a burst of laughter echoed throughout the Great Thousand World. "Since two aren't enough, let's add one more…"

When that voice resounded, everyone looked at their rear and they trembled in excitement. Boundless Spiritual Energy gathered before a mysterious world's energy descended and formed into a screen…

"The Firmament Board!" When Qin Tian, Qing Yanjing, and other Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns saw this scene, they exclaimed in excitement.

"It's Mu Chen!"

"He's finally here, and he even triggered the Firmament Board!"

"He's going to leave his name!"

They looked at the screen in excitement as a silhouette gradually appeared with a familiar appearance. He was Mu Chen.

At the same time, Mu Chen had also raised his head and looked at the Firmament Board with two hands sticking together to lay down his strokes.

At the same time, a resounding voice echoed throughout the world.

"Today, the Firmament Board shall have my name."
