The Great Ruler

Chapter 650 - Merchant Continent

A figure quietly sat on the fissured peak. His skin, which was initially red, had gradually returned to normal. The dreadfully high temperature had also retracted.

Nine Nether landed and felt relieved at this scene as a smear of joy flashed across her eyes. Judging from the current scene, Mu Chen seems to have succeeded, right?

When Nine Nether landed on the ground, Mu Chen's eyes, which were shut, trembled and slowly opened. Within his black pupils, purple flames were surging as they emitted a peculiar sensation.

Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at Nine Nether, who stood by his side and had a pair of exceptionally long and alluring legs. He grinned as he spoke with relief, "I have succeeded."

As he spoke, he stood up.

The instant he moved, the clothes he wore quietly turned into ashes.

Nine Nether's face slightly flushed red as she glared at Mu Chen, before quickly shifting her head away. She was so shy that her ears were burning red.

Mu Chen's face was covered with awkwardness as he quickly retrieved some clothes and put them on.

Nine Nether waited a while, before turning her head over. Her face had pacified a little. But the resentment in her eyes could not be concealed as she glared at Mu Chen.

"An accident, an accident." Mu Chen quickly said with a bitter expression. If Nine Nether thought that he was teasing her and gave him a thrashing, it would be an undeserved catastrophe.

Nine Nether coldly snorted, but couldn't be bothered to argue with Mu Chen, then said in an indifferent tone, "You've succeeded?"

A smear of joy rose in Mu Chen's face as he nodded his head. With a grasp of his hand, purple Spiritual Energy gathered on his hand, and at a depths of it, purple flames could be faintly seen.

Mu Chen waved his hand as that purple-coloured Spiritual Energy swept out and bombarded a peak not too far away.

Boom!

That peak instantly shattered, and under the destruction of the Spiritual Energy, a dreadful temperature swept out that instantly turned the grass and trees on that peak into ashes.

Mu Chen was startled as he looked at the collapsed peak. Even the rocks were being melted. Although the amount of Spiritual Energy he had was still the same, his offensive abilities were not something that the past him could accomplish.

Furthermore, he could also sense that his control over his Spiritual Energy was like his limbs. Moreover, even if that Spiritual Energy left his body, it still maintained a link with him and could unleash continuous attacks through the remnants that would be left inside.

That was precisely the most fearsome part.

In the past, when the Spiritual Energy that left his body was severed by his opponent, that Spiritual Energy would be out of his control and gradually dissipate. But right now, even if it left Mu Chen's control, it could still follow the will left inside by Mu Chen to continue the attack until that energy was thoroughly exhausted.

If this bizarre energy entered another person's body, it would exhaust a tremendous amount of energy before it could be expelled. Especially the Undying Flames that was hidden in Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy. These flames were mysterious and powerful. Trying to get rid of them would probably require several times the amount of Spiritual Energy, and when it was removed, it would have probably left a massive amount of destruction in the body.

Mu Chen felt the changes in his Spiritual Energy and he couldn't stop himself from sighing. Only after stepping into the Sovereign Realm himself, could he find out how powerful Sovereign experts were.

In the past, how could Mu Chen imagine that there could be so many changes and profundities to the Spiritual Energy?

"The Spiritual Energy in your Sovereign Sea was refined from bitter hard work, without the slightest external help; and now that it has been fused with the Undying Flames, regarding power, there aren't many people that could defeat you in regards to Spiritual Energy in the realm of First Grade Sovereign." Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she spoke.

"But, then again, that is only if the other party does not use their Sovereign Celestial Body."

"Sovereign Celestial Body…" Mu Chen couldn't help sighing. A Sovereign Celestial Body was the trademark for a Sovereign expert's battle. The might of it was so extremely terrifying that mountains could be wiped away with a single flip of their hand.

"I wonder how powerful I will be after I have successfully cultivated the Great Solar Undying Body." Thinking about it, Mu Chen had a small amount of expectations, because he could faintly sense that the power of the Great Solar Undying Body would far surpass his imagination.

However, expectations were still expectations in the end, since Mu Chen knew that it wasn't that easy to obtain the two remaining materials for the Great Solar Undying Body. In this month, they had passed through dozens of continents and visited countless auctions, but never caught wind of the Void Great Solar Fruit and Undying Divine Leaf.

Nine Nether's gaze changed as she looked at Mu Chen. She seemed to know his thoughts as she smiled, "Rest assured, even if we can't find any news about those two treasures, we should be able to get them in the Skylaw Continent. After all, it is a major continent, and those continents that we have passed by aren't anything in comparison."

Mu Chen nodded as he felt relieved in his heart.

"Furthermore…" Nine Nether's voice paused for a brief moment, before she continued to say, "There is a Greatlaw Goldpond in the Great Havenlaw Domain. It is extremely mysterious, and even on the Skylaw Continent, it is a treasured ground."

"This Greatlaw Goldpond has a unique ability that can make a Sovereign Celestial Body even more perfect. Furthermore, if there are sufficient opportunities, it can also allow a Sovereign Celestial Body to refine the Endless Golden Lustre."

"Endless Golden Lustre?" Mu Chen was baffled.

"The Sovereign Celestial Body is powerful by nature, and upon possing the Endless Golden Lustre, it is like giving wings to a tiger. The crucial point is that the Endless Golden Lustre provides powerful defence, making the Sovereign Celestial Body indestructible."

"However, it isn't an easy task to refine the Endless Golden Lustre. According to my knowledge, there were only a few in numbers that could successfully refine the Endless Golden Lustre in the many years of Great Havenlaw Domain."

Mu Chen inwardly smacked his lips because he never knew the existence of such a mysterious treasured land. After all, something that could strengthen the Sovereign Celestial Body was something that could make many Sovereign experts covet after it.

"After you follow me to the Great Havenlaw Domain, you have to enter this Greatlaw Goldpond." Nine Nether spoke seriously.

"There should be a requirement, right?" Mu Chen asked after pondering for a brief moment.

Since the so-called "Greatlaw Goldpond" had such extraordinary power, it truly wasn't something that anyone could use it.

Nine Nether lightly nodded her head as she said, "Only those with the Domain Lord title can enjoy the Greatlaw Goldpond of the Great Havenlaw Domain. There is a competition once every three years and the number of spots is limited."

Nine Nether stared at Mu Chen with her slender eyes as she continued, "Therefore, you have to fight for the Domain Lord title after entering the Great Havenlaw Domain."

"Lord?" Mu Chen was baffled.

"In the Great Havenlaw Domain, there is a Domain Ruler, but this Domain Ruler is exceptionally mysterious. Therefore, the majority of the primary duties in the Great Havenlaw Domain is managed by the three Emperors beneath the Domain Ruler."

"Beneath the three Emperors, is the nine Kings… and I am one of them." Nine Nether smiled, "Under them would be the various Lords. Generally speaking, in order to become a Lord, one is required to have reached the Sovereign Realm."

"Requisite of Sovereign Realm…" Mu Chen bitterly smiled. Right now, he was barely a First Grade Sovereign. From the looks of it, it wasn't an easy task to seize a Lord position. No wonder Nine Nether was in such haste for him to complete the training to perfect his Spiritual Energy.

"You don't have any confidence?" Nine Nether said.

Mu Chen smiled, his smile had become much more radiant as he stretched his body, "Nevermind, let me experience how powerful the experts in the Great Thousand World are. In the path of I, Mu Chen, I am not restricted to be a mere Lord."

Hearing his words, Nine Nether had a satisfied smile on her face.

"Thanks." Mu Chen suddenly turned his head as he looked at Nine Nether and spoke in a light voice.

Perhaps after leaving the Northern Heavens Continent, Nine Nether had been planning everything for him. Although he still didn't know what the Greatlaw Goldpond represented, it shouldn't be something that even Nine Nether, as one of the nine Kings, could easily determine.

Thus, he was a little touched in his heart.

"Save it. It's good enough if you don't lose too badly at that time and throw my face." Nine Nether cast her lips to the side as she snorted, except that in her voice, there was a faint joy in it.

"Let's go, we should get moving."

She waved her hand and her figure turned into a streak of light as she flew out, no longer bothered to speak any more with Mu Chen.

Mu Chen lightly smiled. He looked at that slender light silhouette and slowly clenched his fist, fighting spirit surging in his heart. The favour of the beauty was heavy to bear. Looks like he had to acquire a Lord position in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

…

Over the next month, Mu Chen and Nine Nether made their journey without stopping. They were covered in dust as they passed through the various continents and under their hastened journey, they were getting closer and closer to the Skylaw Continent.

On a particular day, Nine Nether and Mu Chen's journey gradually, finally, slowed down.

Right now, they were in a continent called the Merchant Continent. This continent possessed a Teleportation Spiritual Array linked to the Skylaw Continent. So, generally speaking, for them, it was also the final stop in their long journey.

On this vast continent, there was the most significant auction house within the nearby dozen continents. Countless treasures, Divine Artifacts, and Divine Arts flowed here through all sorts of channels.

Perhaps some channels were dark, but no one cared about that, because everyone knew that they could buy anything here in the Merchant Continent.

As long as you had a sufficient amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

It was also this place that made Mu Chen's travel-worn heart slightly excited, since he would finally obtain the last two materials he needed for the Great Solar Undying Body.

Void Great Solar Fruit.

Undying Divine Leaf.
