The Great Ruler

Chapter 885 - The Real Sky Formation Emperor

Boom!

When the ancient stone seal in Zhantai Liuli's hands exploded, beams of light shot out in every direction. The light was so brilliant that it even lit up this crimson region.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the beams of light spread out, whizzing sounds of the wind rang out from every direction. Innumerable streaks of light flew from those lights. Every single streak of light also seemed to contain an ancient rune.

Those runes soared into the sky and charged into the darkness, combining with the grey beams of light that came from the heads of the stone troop and fused together.

Buzz! Buzz!

Along with the fusion, those beams of light swiftly swelled at this moment and a violent Battle Will erupted like a volcano that abruptly gushed out.

An intense light soared into the sky and completely expelled the darkness in this area, before sinking into the stone base that was filled with runes.

The ancient stone base violently trembled at this moment and the runes had completely lit up, as if it had completely awakened.

Rustle! Rustle!

The four chains on the stone base swelled and the lustre emanating from the runes on the chains was dazzling, with astonishing Battle Will filling it.

It had all occurred in a brief moment. The 'Sky Formation Emperor' had just made his move against Mu Chen and, in the next instant, when he saw the huge commotion that came from below, fear instantly gushed out on his distorted face.

"NOOO!"

He issued a shriek as the half-rune on his devilish face swiftly wriggled and a dense corrosive black aura surged out in an attempt to resist the Battle Will on the chains.

Boom!

But the battle formation in this region had clearly been completely activated by Zhantai Liuli. It was extremely powerful. It had split half of the rune that was trying to kill Mu Chen. At this point, the 'Sky Formation Emperor' had exhausted the energy in his body. Therefore, his resistance wasn't effective. Along with the four chains that bound onto his limbs, he was tyrannically being pulled down to the stone base, which was filled with runes.

Roar!

The 'Sky Formation Emperor' violently roared with his eyes turning red. He had sensed a fatal threat and knew that if he was pulled back to the stone base, he would truly be killed by the battle formation.

At this moment, he no longer had the power that was comparable to his peak state.

But no matter how he resisted, it was futile and his silhouette was pathetically dragged down, before being forcefully seated on the ancient stone base.

"I'll kill the both of you!"

But in that instant, when it was dragged back to the stone base, the 'Sky Formation Emperor' suddenly fixed his frantic gaze on Mu Chen, before he issued a roar. The half-devilish face rune abruptly sped up. He had clearly intended on a suicidal attack.

When Mu Chen, who was swiftly retreating, saw this scene, his face changed and the phoenix wings rapidly trembled with Spiritual Energy violently surging in his body, leaving behind afterimages in the sky.

He could feel how terrifying this suicidal attack from the 'Sky Formation Emperor' was, and if he was struck by this attack, it would probably be fatal, despite his powerful physical body.

Boom! Boom!

The black streak of light shot over and the space in its path was corroded. Mu Chen knew that he couldn't dodge it anymore, so he had surged the golden light in his body. The Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour appeared once again and on his chest, the True Dragon tattoo wandered and a boundless Spiritual Energy gathered around him. Right now, he had executed all the means available to him in preparation to receive that attack.

Although he knew that it was foolish to confront that attack, he had no choice given to him at this moment!

He watched the feeble-looking dark light approached him.

But just when Mu Chen was executing all his means to receive that terrifying attack, a shriek rang out on the stone base. The 'Sky Formation Emperor' was bound onto the stone base. Innumerable runes lit up like worms that crawled towards him and covered him up.

The corrosive black aura around the 'Sky Formation Emperor' had swiftly dissipated at this moment and the remaining half of the devilish face rune issued a shriek. Along with the black aura dissipating, it had also started to thin down.

Densely packed runes completely covered the 'Sky Formation Emperor'. In that instant, when he was enveloped by the runes, his ear-piercing shriek had abruptly come to a stop.

The devilish face rune on his face had also disappeared at the same time.

In that instant, when the devilish face rune disappeared, the other half of the remaining devilish face rune had also emitted a shriek before it exploded. It shattered and turned into sparkles of black light that covered the sky.

When Mu Chen, who had fully armed himself, saw this scene, he felt a heavy relief before realising that his back was drenched in a cold sweat.

He wasn't confident about withstanding that dark light. Earlier, he was only doing his best to give it a risk.

But since he didn't have to walk on the blade, it was naturally best for Mu Chen.

Mu Chen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and got rid of the defences. At this moment, a whizzing sound of wind rang out and Zhantai Liuli had flown over.

Zhantai Liuli's face was also extremely pale, since her previous action must have greatly exhausted her.

"Thanks." Mu Chen looked at Zhantai Liuli with a smile. His tone was clearly warmer than it was before. Clearly, Zhantai Liuli had gained a little more trust from him, since she did not make a move during their previous cooperation. At the very least, he wasn't on guard with her like he was before.

Zhantai Liuli bit her lips, then gently smiled. "How rare for someone to put his life in my hands after being conned by me once. Since that's the case, then I don't think I can let you down, right?"

Mu Chen smiled. "This was a happy cooperation."

Mu Chen wasn't too bothered with Zhantai Liuli previously conning them. If he was in her shoes, there was a high chance that he would do that as well. After all, they were just free labourers in her eyes at that time.

But the current situation wasn't the same. The both of them were in a boat that could be considered as genuine cooperation. Since Zhantai Liuli did not disappoint him in the trust he placed in her, it made Mu Chen feel a lot better about her.

Zhantai Liuli slightly nodded her head, before looking at the stone base in the darkness. She exchanged a look with Mu Chen and the two of them cautiously flew forth. They landed a hundred feet away from the stone base.

Their two silhouettes stopped there and did not recklessly intrude any further. Since they couldn't confirm if the evil spirit in the Sky Formation Emperor's body had been completely annihilated, there was a chance that they would be killed and their efforts from before would have been in vain.

The two of them cautiously looked at the ancient stone base. On the stone base, the Sky Formation Emperor's figure was enveloped with densely-packed runes. This situation lasted for nearly ten minutes, before the two of them noticed the runes starting to dim down and dissipate, bit by bit.

Along with the runes dissipating, the bodies of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli had tensed up with Spiritual Energy surging around them in preparation to deal with any sudden events.

Under their cautious gazes, the runes on the body of the Sky Formation Emperor had finally, completely dissipated. When his face was revealed before them once again, the previous sinister and distorted face had disappeared, replaced with a calm look.

His face was still a little pale, but it had lost that eeriness from before.

He sat on the stone base and his tightly shut eyes suddenly, gently trembled before he slowly opened them under the cautious and nervous gazes of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli.

He opened his eyes and stretched his somewhat stiffened neck, before lowering his head. He looked at his palm, then the darkness and the stone troop down below before letting out a sigh.

"After tens of thousands of years, that evil spirit was finally killed…" His voice was a little hoarse, but compared to before, it was less ear-piercing and had an additional aging in it.

Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli exchanged a look, but they did not dare to interrupt him.

The silhouette on the stone base had raised his head as he looked at Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli. Seeing his gaze, the bodies of the two tensed, remaining alert.

"Was it you guys that activated this battle formation to kill that evil spirit and awaken my remaining consciousness?" Seeing the two people, the silhouette gave a gentle smile.

Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli exchanged a look, then nodded their heads.

"This senior is…" Mu Chen briefly hesitated, before carefully asking.

When that silhouette heard Mu Chen's words, he couldn't help smiling and had lifted his hand. With a gentle press, a torrential and boundless Battle Will swept out from down below and then immediately went silent, before returning back to the stone troop.

Seeing his action, Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli both had joy and a great relief in their eyes. That's because, aside from the Sky Formation Emperor himself, who else could easily command the Battle Will of the stone troop?
