The Great Ruler

Chapter 934 - The Powerful Spiritual Puppet

Light flowed on that crystallised barrier. But every single gaze in this region had been directed onto that azure-robed silhouette that had just appeared with shock filling their eyes.

Shortly after, the faces of the seven Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouses couldn't help changing.

Based on their experiences, they could naturally recognise that azure-robed figure. That azure-robed figure was the mysterious owner, who was also the Fourth Palace Master in ancient times.

"The Fourth Palace Master…"

Every single expert had shock in their eyes. Although someone like him had died long ago, his reputation was widely spread. It was said that in ancient times, when the Ancient Haven Palace dominated the Greatlaw Continent, the Fourth Palace Master was the ruler that was in charge of the Northern Region. But the Northern Region today was filled with competition without a true ruler.

So anyone could tell that the strength and achievements possessed by the Fourth Palace Master weren't something that any of the seven Earth Sovereigns could be compared to. Thus, they were so shocked when they saw such a figure appearing.

Just as everyone else was shocked, the seven Earth Sovereigns who stood around the ancient rock island looked at the azure-robed silhouette with their brows tightly knitted, since they did not dare to move carelessly.

The one standing before them was the Fourth Palace Master. But they were clear that the Fourth Palace Master had already died and this person that stood before them should be a Spiritual Body left behind after using special means. But it was such a Spiritual Body that Mandala and the rest did not dare to belittle it.

Between Earth Sovereign Realms, every single grade was a huge gap. Although the Fourth Palace Master was only in the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, and although it only sounded that he was on a level above the seven of them, they were clear about how great the pressure of such a small level was.

The seven Earth Sovereigns stood in the sky and had fixed their gazes on the Fourth Palace Master with terrifyingly surging Spiritual Energy undulations around them. Clearly, they were extremely fearful of the latter.

Under their solemn waiting, the azure-robed silhouette finally opened his eyes. In that instant when he opened his eyes, the boundless ocean lifted myriad feet waves, and rumbled as if it was welcoming the return of it's master.

A Spiritual Energy oppression that was stronger than any of the seven of them slowly emanated from the azure-robed figure.

After sensing that Spiritual Energy pressure, even Mandala and the rest of them couldn't help squinting their eyes.

"How did the Fourth Palace Master leave such a powerful energy behind in his Spiritual Body?" Liu Tiandao of the Sky Profound Palace said solemnly. Generally speaking, the Fourth Palace Master was a Greater Earth Sovereign when he was still alive. Regardless of anything, he had already died. Even the Spiritual Body left behind by him shouldn't be so powerful.

"I'm afraid that this isn't an ordinary Spiritual Body… there isn't any consciousness in his eyes." The Demon Emperor of the Demon Gate spoke with a flash in his eyes.

Mandala nodded her head. She had realised that there wasn't a strand of spiritual light in the Spiritual Body of the Fourth Palace Master. On the contrary, it looked empty instead. Generally speaking, a Spiritual Body left behind by such a figure should have a little consciousness left. But looking at the Spiritual Body before them, it looked more like a puppet instead.

The Divine Pavilion Master squinted his eyes, before faintly saying, "That's indeed not an ordinary Spiritual Body. If I have not guessed wrongly, then it should be a specially refined Spiritual Puppet. Before the Fourth Palace Master died, he had poured all of his Spiritual Energy into it before using a special technique to preserve it and use it to guard."

Hearing the words of the Divine Pavilion Master, Mandala and the rest were slightly startled. The Fourth Palace Master was truly formidable to be able to create such a powerful puppet.

"No matter how powerful this Spiritual Puppet is, I don't think that it could be in the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm. As long as it's not in the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, I refuse to believe that the seven of us can't deal with it!" The Netherworld Palace's Palace Master coldly snorted.

"Everyone, let us make our move together!"

Hearing the Netherworld Palace's Palace Master's bark, Mandala and the rest had nodded their heads. If they wanted to enter the rock island, then they would have to defeat this Spiritual Puppet left by the Fourth Palace Master. And if they wanted to defeat it, then they would have to join together.

Boom!

A myriad feet of Spiritual Energy currents gushed out around the seven of them. The massive Spiritual Energy was innumerable Spiritual Energy crystals. As they flowed, even space could not bear that pressure, which distorted and shattered.

"Let's go!"

The seven of them had made their move again as the rivers of Spiritual Energy crystals pierced through the horizon. They were like huge dragons brandishing their claws, which whistled towards the azure-robed silhouette.

When the seven Earth Sovereigns had made their moves, the Fourth Palace Master had stood up from the crystal barrier and indifferently looked at the incoming attack before suddenly raising his hand.

Boom!

In that instant when his hands joined together, the massive ocean down below trembled and the myriad foot wave had soared into the sky. That ocean wasn't made of ordinary salt water, but extremely refined Spiritual Energy.

The ocean of Spiritual Energy swept over, which swiftly turned into a sea vortex around the Fourth Palace Master. As the vortex revolved, a crack with the length of a myriad foot appeared in space and the spatial fragments were dragged into the vortex, which displayed the terrifying destructive abilities of the vortex.

Boom! Boom!

Seven crystallised rivers of Spiritual Energy pounced forth, which slammed against the massive vortex, instantly causing this entire region to tremble. Every single river of Spiritual Energy had actually caused the revolving speed of the Spiritual Energy vortex to slow down. However, they were not successful in destroying it.

Numerous Spiritual Energy rivers constantly slammed over. When the last crystallised river exploded, only then did it manage to stop the massive Spiritual Energy vortex, causing it to crumble and turn into a rain of Spiritual Energy that stormed down.

"This Fourth Palace Master… is truly formidable!"

When Mu Chen and the rest in the distance saw this shocking confrontation, they couldn't help being shocked. Even though the Fourth Palace Master had already died, it could still confront seven Earth Sovereigns, which was truly heaven-defying.

Standing before them, even the Sleeping Emperor, Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor had worn grave expressions. Their perceptions were keen so they could naturally sense how terrifying the Fourth Palace Master was. But what made them feel disbelief was the fact that despite being dead, the Fourth Palace Master was still so fearsome.

Rumble!

As shock filled their faces, the battle in the distance had started to reach the climax. After experiencing the formidable power of the Fourth Palace Master's Spiritual Puppet, Mandala and the rest did not dare to hold back.

The seven Earth Sovereigns had pushed their strengths to the limits and the boundless Spiritual Energies formed into a realm at their rears. Dazzling Spiritual Energies constantly crystallised and shot towards the Fourth Palace Master from every direction.

Under the rampant attacks, a few myriad feet around the rock island crumbled with cracks being torn in the ocean down below, which took a long time before it could recover.

Facing the ferocious attacks of the seven Earth Sovereigns, the Fourth Palace Master still managed to firmly secure the rock island. It did not adopt any offensive means and had purely defended with a terrifying defence that didn't allow a single one of the seven Earth Sovereigns to take a step onto the rock island.

Boom!

The tiny hand of Mandala, which was formed with Spiritual Energy crystals, shot out, penetrating through the horizon and had enveloped towards the Fourth Palace Master with her flickering golden eyes.

Fighting till now, she could tell that the Fourth Palace Master's Spiritual Puppet would not take the initiative to attack, but was focusing all of its power to defend.

Although the seven of them had joined forces together, Mandala knew that all of them had held back and did not use all of their power. That's because no one wanted to exhaust their energy for nothing. After all… the Spiritual Divine Liquid had not appeared yet…

If this went on, then they wouldn't be able to enter the rock island, which also meant that they wouldn't be able to obtain any Spiritual Divine Liquid. Must they play an exhaustion game of Spiritual Energy with the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master?

That's a little too stupid.

Mandala's eyes swiftly flickered as she had suddenly swept a gaze at the crystallized barrier around the rock island suddenly as she slightly narrowed her eyes.

"How long will this battle last…" From a distance, the Sleeping Emperor looked at this astonishing battle as he shook his head in slight helplessness. He could clearly tell that the seven Earth Sovereigns had no intention of joining forces.

Mu Chen and the rest shrugged their shoulders. They weren't too unexpected of this matter, since the various peak forces all harboured their own ideas, so how could they pull together and work as one?

"Everyone of the Great Havenlaw Domain, heed my order… I will search for a chance to break a crack on the crystallised barrier. You guys will take the chance and go in to search for Spiritual Divine Liquid!" Just when Mu Chen and the rest felt helpless, Mandala's grave voice suddenly resounded by their ears.

Hearing her voice, the eyes of the three Emperors had slightly squinted. Shortly after, they exchanged a glance and gently, unnoticeably nodded their heads. It looked like the seven Earth Sovereigns had their hands tied up, so they had to depend on them for what's coming after…

…

Rumble!

A terrifying Spiritual Energy shock wave constantly wreaked havoc around the rock island. Facing the attacks of seven Earth Sovereigns, the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master could still remain in such a calm state. But as time passed, there were still some remaining shock waves of the Spiritual Energy that made cracks on the crystallised barrier.

Although the Spiritual Puppet had inherited the strength of the Fourth Palace Master, it did not have any consciousness, which was their chance.

Boom!

Another ferocious confrontation occurred. But this time, Mandala and the rest had increased their power and had managed to force the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master to move back several steps.

"Chance!"

When the Fourth Palace Master retreated, Mandala's gaze flickered and she flicked her finger. A dazzling beam of light shot out from her finger and had managed to penetrate through the defences of the Spiritual Puppet with an indescribable speed before slamming against the edge of the barrier.

Poosh! Poosh!

The beam of light was extremely sharp to the point that a crack had appeared on the extremely sturdy barrier.

"Now!"

Mandala gently barked in her heart as the boat of Spiritual Energy shot out, charging into the barrier just when it was about to close up.

Naturally, the three Emperors and ten Kings were in the Spiritual Energy boat.

"They're in!" At the sight of this, Mandala felt her heart relaxing. But before she could loosen up, she saw the six other Earth Sovereigns had found the chance to circulate powerful energy and tore cracks in the barrier.

When the cracks appeared, streaks of light burst out and entered the rock island.

Those cunning foxes had been thinking of the same method as well!

They had also sent their subordinates towards the rock island, wanting to let them search for Spiritual Divine Liquid.

Mandala raised her head, exchanged a glance with the six remaining Earth Sovereigns and her cheeks trembled…
