The Great Ruler

Chapter 793 - Gathering of Powerhouses

The Dragon-Phoenix City was located in the centre of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. At the same time, it was the most significant place as the rumoured Dragon-Phoenix Stage that possessed the inheritance of the True Dragon and Phoenix was in that location.

The situation in that region was also unlike the others, which were filled with beasts. In that place, there weren't any beasts because it was the death place of the True Dragon and Phoenix back then.

Even after tens of thousands of years, the remnant pressure still made those beasts that had absorbed the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix not daring to approach.

Therefore, this region was normally deathly quiet. It was so much so that even the wind had no sound in this region. It was like a dead land.

But the deathly quietness no longer existed here, since it was replaced with commotion. In the sky, which was emitting an ancient aura, countless figures flew over from every direction like locusts as they filled the sky. The commotion had wiped the deathly silence in this place.

Those light figures were naturally the elites that were adventuring the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. Although they had encountered dangers, they naturally had harvests as well. Everyone gathered here all understood that there would be a shocking contest that would erupt here.

As time passed, the number of people gathered here was increasing at a stunning speed. The noises gathered together and soared into the horizon like a sound wave, causing the heavily layered clouds to be stirred.

Rustle!

Just as the number of figures in this region had reached a shocking amount, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly burst out in the horizon far away. Thereafter, a figure streaked across the horizon like a meteorite and landed on a lone mountain under the countless startled gazes.

Boom!

The figure landed on the peak and huge cracks spread out beneath his feet. In a few breaths' time, it had actually covered the peak, causing it to be tottering on the verge of collapse.

Light dispersed on the peak and a huge figure that was roughly five-to-six feet in height stood towering. He was covered in heavy armour and wielded a huge axe as his robust aura swept out. He was like an ancient barbarian giant, extremely valiant.

Boom!

"It's Ding Xuan of the Spiritual Giant Clan!"

When his appearance was revealed, it immediately attracted a commotion. He wasn't a nameless character, but one that had a decent reputation in the Northern Region.

"It's said that Ding Xuan has gotten a Dragon-Phoenix Pool and formed the Ersatz Dragon Physique. The physiques of the Spiritual Giant Clan are experts in physical battle, to begin with. Now that he has the Ersatz Dragon Physique, it's like giving wings to a tiger. I'm afraid that his ranking on the Dragon-Phoenix Record will rise."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as a commotion rose because of Ding Xuan's appearance, two wind whistling sounds rang out in the sky from far away. As those whistling wind noises resounded, they were followed with shocking Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

Rustle!

Two figures, a front and back, flew over from the distance. Shortly after, they intertwined in the sky as powerful Spiritual Energy forces swept out, clashing together.

As the Spiritual Energy burst out, wreaking havoc, two figures burst in retreat as they landed on a mountain peak each.

"Keke, Big Sister Su has improved by quite a bit, making this Little Sister envious." As the light dissipated, Hong Yu, who was dressed in a brightly-coloured red dress, appeared, smiling with her lips pursed. Her smile was charming and alluring, which made countless gazes in this region blankly stare at her.

"Little Sister Hong Yu is not bad yourself. You've already cultivated your Demon God Art to a great success, right?" On another peak, the light figure had also revealed herself. It was a beauty donned in a white dress and was emitting a holy aura from her body. She was Su Biyue of the Myriad Saints Mountain.

The moment the two girls revealed themselves, the atmosphere in this region instantly reached a climax with countless gazes directed at them. Amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, perhaps the strength of those two girls weren't the strongest. But their charm was something that not even the first on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi of the Divine Palace, could compete against.

"I'm curious if Big Sister Su has successfully formed your Ersatz Phoenix Physique." Hong Yu covered her lips as she smiled. Her alluring laughter stirred the evil flames in others.

Su Biyue noncommittally smiled. "Does Little Sister Hong Yue want to give it a try?"

"I'm considering it. But if we fight now, I'm afraid that it might benefit others. I'm fine with it, however, I'm just afraid that Big Sister's name of Undefeated Goddess will be broken." Hong Yu chuckled.

The two girls were peerless beauties, but the two of them clearly did not have a good relationship. Although they addressed each other so closely as sisters, they clearly had deep wariness for each other.

Hearing her words, Su Biyue lightly shook her head, since she knew how difficult Hong Yu was, and did not speak any further. Her gaze swept out and briefly paused on the previously appeared Ding Xuan before shifting out.

After the appearance of the two beauties, Hong Yu and Su Biyue, the atmosphere in this region had clearly become much more heated. As time passed, there were many experts with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them that had arrived here. Vaguely, there was a pressure emitted from their bodies, originating from the absorption of the True Dragon and Phoenix's Blood Essences.

Clearly, those experts had, more or less, gotten natural treasures that contained the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix, thus being qualified to ascend the Dragon-Phoenix Stage as well.

And amongst those experts, Liu Yan had attracted the most attention. When he appeared here, his face was dark as he stood on a peak with a vast Spiritual Energy whistling around him, along with a dreadful killing intent that was spreading out, striking fear in the others.

However, his appearance had attracted the whispering discussions of others.

"It's said that Liu Yan was defeated by Mu Chen after competing for a Dragon-Phoenix Pool… and that Dragon-Phoenix Pool was seized by Mu Chen."

"Mu Chen? That Third Grade Sovereign brat?"

"It's him, don't think that his true strength is that of a Third Grade Sovereign. I was present when Mu Chen and Liu Yan fought. That brat is definitely not normal, even Liu Yan could not defeat him after executing his Sovereign Ability."

"Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover. No wonder the Great Havenlaw Domain would send him out."

"……"

Hearing those whispers, Liu Yan's face couldn't help twitching and it becomes even darker, the killing intent around him also grew denser.

Su Biyue and Hong Yu couldn't help taking a glance at the dark-faced Liu Yan. They had naturally heard of this news, but they were initially in disbelief. After all, Liu Yan's reputation was too great compared to Mu Chen's, who was practically a nameless character. So if the two were to fight, the outcome was evident.

But, in the end, reality betrayed their imaginations. Liu Yan, who should be winning. had lost in a contest over a Dragon-Phoenix Pool…

"That Mu Chen was so formidable?" The two girls had no change to their expressions, but their hearts were shaken. Back then, in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, they were just a little startled by the courage Mu Chen had displayed. But who could have thought that a youth who looked to be a Third Grade Sovereign on the surface would not only have the courage, he even had the strength to back it up as well.

Hong Yu and Su Biyue shifted their glances, before they abruptly narrowed them. Their gazes were suddenly directed at the two mountain peaks far away. On those two mountain peaks, space seemed to distort and two figures appeared shortly after.

The appearance of those two figures was extremely sudden, without any signs. They had quietly appeared without any disturbance, which made countless experts here tremble in their hearts.

"That's…"

Countless gazes were directed over as a low cry of surprise uncontrollably rang out. The faces of those figures who were emitting the aura of the True Dragon and Phoenix's Blood Essences had their faces changed with dense fear in their eyes.

"That's… the second ranker, the Netherworld Prince, and first ranker, Divine Palace's Fang Yi of the Dragon-Phoenix Record!"

"They finally appeared!"

The appearance of those two figures followed with countless cries of shock as they exchanged looks with each other. Those two figures were real heavy-weighted figures.

Under countless gazes, those two figures stood on the peak with their hands behind their backs. The black and white figures seemed to be the most dazzling colour in this region and anyone would become dull under their lustre.

Amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, those two were practically like monuments and no geniuses could exceed them.

The entire region became quiet because of those two figure's appearances. That feeling was as if they were enveloped by their oppressive pressure.

Whoosh!

However, the freezing oppressive sensation did not last too long. It was broken apart by a sudden whistling of wind and two figures were streaking across the horizon under countless gazes.

The two figures had yet to arrive and yet, there was a cold and clear voice amongst them that resounded and rippled across this sky.

"You sneaky bastard actually dared to show yourself, did you think that I can't deal with you?"

When that clear voice resounded, that figure seemed to have formed seals and pointed her finger out. In an instant, space was torn apart as a seven-coloured beam streaked across the horizon like a bolt of lightning.

Looking at the direction at the other end of the seven-coloured light beam, everyone inhaled a mouthful of chilled aura. That's because they realised that the other end of the seven-coloured light beam was actually the first ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi of the Divine Palace!

Just who was it that was actually so ferocious and actually dared to attack the strongest Fang Yi upon appearing?!
