The Great Ruler

Chapter 931 - The Hidden Centre

"Let's go!"

When the azure bronze door crumbled, Mandala's gentle bark resounded in everyone's ears. Thereafter, everyone immediately burst forth and had turned into dozens of streaks that shot towards the door.

Mandala was the first as she stepped into it.

Buzz!

The moment they entered, Mu Chen could clearly sense the spatial undulations in the surroundings and his sight was turned black for a brief instance before clearing up.

However, a terrifying killing aura had dominated like an ominous beast at that moment when everything had cleared up.

Under the horrifying killing aura, the backs of Mu Chen and the rest were all drenched in cold sweat.

Roar!

They looked towards that direction and noticed a complete change in the surroundings. This region was like a boundless plain with dusk being shone onto the earth as cracks started to appear in space.

From those cracks, a torrential evil aura swept out. Mu Chen and the rest could see the black currents that were endlessly pouring out of those cracks.

Abnormal roars came from those black currents that didn't fit in the Great Thousand World. That's because when those roars resounded, the Spiritual Energy in this region had completely avoided it, as if it was rejecting it.

Mu Chen closely stared at the black current and his heart trembled. That's because there were innumerable fuzzy black silhouettes that appeared from the black current. Those black silhouettes looked extremely robust. Except that they looked to have been made of smoke, which vaguely showed signs of distortion. Only the scarlet gaze from their foreheads was lit up, filled with greed and desire.

Those abnormal noises came from their pointed ears, which were rejected by the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.

Just as those black current endlessly poured out of those spatial cracks, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth had boiled up. Mu Chen raised his head and saw rolling layers of clouds whistling over from the distant horizon. Except, those layers of clouds were made of innumerable silhouettes travelling across the horizon. Taking another close look at them, they were the innumerable experts of the Great Thousand World that had powerful undulations emanating from their bodies…

Roar!

When the black currents saw the experts of the Great Thousand World sweeping over, they issued roars and the black currents dominated the horizon. Instantly, the two terrifying flows had heavily clashed together.

The heavens and earth had shattered from this confrontation.

As the two currents collided, Mu Chen and the rest could clearly see several black smoke figures shuttling through space as their arms pierced through the defences of powerful experts before burrowing into their bodies like sharp blades.

Arghh!

Those experts issued shrieks as their bodies swiftly dried up. In just a few breaths' of time, their bodies had turned into dust and exploded as those black silhouettes emitted peals of weird laughter.

That scene made Mu Chen and everyone else instantly feel their scalps going numb.

Such an intense battle occurred at every single corner in this region.

…

A warcry enveloped this region. Mu Chen and the rest had felt their eyes turning red under the slaughter.

Boom!

But just when their eyes turned even more scarlet, the clear ringing of a bell rang out, instantly clearing their minds. The redness in their eyes dissipated and they had broken free from being affected by the slaughter.

But even so, they still felt fearful in their hearts before raising their heads and saw Mandala standing before them. The latter had gently flicked her finger and as the Spiritual Energy vibrated, it emitted a crisp bell ring.

Evidently, she was the one that pulled them back from being affected by the war.

"This is the battle that broke out back when the Great Thousand World was invaded by the Fiend Clans." Mandala looked down at the intense battle as she slowly said.

Although Mu Chen and everyone else already had their guesses, their eyes still couldn't help squinting when they heard the confirmation from Mandala.

Those black silhouettes were the Fiend Clans?

"No one knows where the Fiend Clans appeared from. But they were like locusts in their path as they devoured the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth. If they are allowed to invade the Great Thousand World, then the entire Great Thousand World will instantly collapse while the countless Lower Planes would be affected by it as well.

"I have once seen the Fiend Clans invade a continent. The Spiritual Energy completely disappeared in that continent and it's no longer a plane suitable for the cultivation of Spiritual Energy. It had also become ordinary with the disappearance of Spiritual Energy…" Mandala's face grew a little more grave at this moment.

Hiss!

When Mu Chen and the rest heard her words, they couldn't help sucking in a cold breath as they couldn't imagine how a scene without any Spiritual Energy would look like. It would undoubtedly be the end of the world for the Great Thousand World.

No wonder the experts of the Great Thousand World would join forces when facing the invasion of the Fiend Clans. It's because the outcome was disastrous for any cultivator in the Great Thousand World.

"These are just illusions, don't be affected by the killing aura. Otherwise, you will become one amongst them as well." Mandala reminded.

Mu Chen and the rest immediately nodded their heads. If it wasn't for Mandala's help, then not even half of them might have been able to escape from it. The Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury truly was dangerous.

When Mandala saw their response, she no longer spoke and had turned around, then flew towards the end of this region. Waving her hand, she had completely covered the torrential killing aura.

Mu Chen and the rest immediately followed up as the Spiritual Energy circulated and protected them. They no longer dared to be careless.

As they travelled through the battlefield, only then did they realise how vast this battlefield was. They had no idea how long they had been travelling for, but they still couldn't see the end of it.

The entire region seemed to have gradually turned red from the killings.

They had no idea how long they still had to travel for, but since Mandala did not say a word, they could only closely follow her…

They travelled for a long time before Mandala slightly slowed down and her voice had solemnly rung out in everyone's ears, "Everyone, be careful!"

When they heard Mandala's reminder, Mu Chen and the rest were stunned before they had tensed up their minds out of reflex as they circulated their Spiritual Energies.

Buzz!

Just as they circulated their Spiritual Energies to guard their bodies, they suddenly discovered that the miserable warcry that resounded in this region had suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the surroundings had drastically changed.

The vast battlefield was missing, replaced with a boundless ocean. The ocean was a dark azure colour with waves flying high before falling. As the waves landed, Mu Chen and the rest could clearly see the space being shattered by the waves…

Every single drop of the ocean here seemed to have the weight of thousand catty.

Mu Chen and the rest were astonished by this sight. The bottom of the ocean couldn't be gauged and there seemed to be an endless darkness in the depths of the water, which made one's heart turn cold.

The sky of the ocean was also a patch of abstruse darkness.

Mu Chen and the rest exchanged a look. Although this unfamiliar scene did not have the comparable killing aura to the earlier battlefield, they felt a dense oppression without knowing why.

They couldn't understand the reason for the oppression, but they couldn't catch their breaths.

Mandala stood in the sky and had swept her golden pupils over this ocean. After a brief moment, her pupils flickered with a golden light as she muttered to herself, "What good means."

"Domain Ruler… this is?" The Sky Vulture Emperor enquired in a soft voice as even he had felt a formless pressure from this ocean.

"If I have not guessed incorrectly, this should've been formed by the Sovereign Sea of the Fourth Palace Master." Mandala softly said.

"Formed by his Sovereign Sea?"

The eyes of the Kings instantly widened as they dumbfoundedly looked at this region. Every Sovereign Sea was the source of power of a Sovereign, so they were extremely familiar with it. But it was still the first time that they had seen a Sovereign Sea forming such a scene before them.

"When one's strength reaches the level of the Fourth Palace Master, their Sovereign Sea is equivalent to a realm. They can open their Sovereign Sea upon encountering enemies and pull them in it. At that time, even an Eighth Grade Sovereign would be reduced to nothing from the rolling Spiritual Energy ocean," said Mandala.

Mu Chen and the rest were dumbfounded beyond words from her explanation. At their level, they could only hide their Sovereign Seas in their bodies, fearing that it would be destroyed by others. After all, it did not matter if a Sovereign expert had his body destroyed. But if their Sovereign Sea was destroyed, then their cultivation would be gone.

Therefore, no one could casually pull their opponents into their own Sovereign Sea.

But they never expected that the method which they had all avoided would actually be so terrifying in the hands of an Earth Sovereign Realm…

"This should be the centre of this Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury."

Mandala's golden pupils looked at the depths of this ocean as she pointed her finger towards a certain direction. "Take caution."

When Mu Chen and the rest heard her words, their hearts shivered. They're finally in the centre of the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury? Have the other forces arrived here?

The Kings exchanged a look and their expressions had tensed up. Anyone could feel the terrifying storm that would soon descend…
