The Great Ruler

“Tianluo Continent? North Territory Mu Estate?” When Mu Chen’s calm voice rang out over Luo God City, Xue Lingzi’s brows knitted together.

The Tianluo Continent was a supercontinent, and he had naturally heard of it, but the so-called North Territory was quite unfamiliar to him, not to mention Mu Estate, which he had never heard of. At the thought of this, Xue Lingzi’s worry gradually receded.

He had thought that Mu Chen hailed from some terrifying ancient clan or something. Now, it seemed that he no such fearful background!

“What Mu Estate? I’ve never even heard of it.” Xue Lingzi’s chilling gaze landed on Mu Chen.

He then said coldly, “Young man, I will take into account that you worked hard on your cultivation. If you leave immediately, all will be well. Otherwise, I will show you how foolish it is to offend the Blood God Clan!”

He thought that he had shown enough courtesy to Mu Chen. But, Mu Chen only laughed, then raised his finger and pointed to somewhere in the distance and said, “You old fogey! You pride yourself on being a veteran… Get, out, now!”

Mu Chen’s face turned cold as he said the last three words. His low voice contained a strong murderous intent as it reverberated in the heavens and the earth like a roll of thunder.

The crowd was stunned. They stared dumbfounded at Mu Chen and were clearly shocked. After all, Xue Lingzi was a true Upper Earthly Sovereign!

Moreover, he had the powerful backing of the Blood God Clan! He was a real behemoth, and even though Mu Chen’s power as a Lower Earthly Sovereign was quite remarkable, he was still too young to clash with the Blood God Clan head-on.

Amid the silence, Xue Lingzi’s expression turned eerily solemn, while he stared at Mu Chen. A moment later, there was a chilling smile at the corners of his mouth.

“A newborn calf is not afraid of a tige! You little brat!” Xue Lingzi smiled menacingly as he waved his palm and said, “Since you are so arrogant… Xue Tong, Xue Shou, Xue Yi, let him fall here!”

Whoosh!

Behind Xue Lingzi, three beams of blood-red light emerged, while the other three Lower Earthly Sovereigns of the Blood God Clan flashed out. Their eyes were ferocious as they looked at Mu Chen. It was like watching a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

As the crowd saw how the Blood God Clan had just sent three Lower Earthly Sovereigns to deal with Mu Chen, there immediately descended into an uproar.

They despised such underhanded means, but they also could say nothing. After all, this was not a fair duel, but a fight over the survival of a race.

Thus, the forces from the Little Western Kingdom who had come to watch just shook their heads secretly, feeling sympathy and regret for the gifted young man. With his young age and immense talent, he would one day be quite remarkable, but he had to survive this first!

Clearly, they did not believe that such a young Lower Earthly Sovereign had the slightest chance of escaping from the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns, all of whom had been famous for many years.

“Xue Lingzi, if you want to behave atrociously in my Luo God Clan territory, you have to get past me first!” Amid the sea of sympathetic glances, Luo Tianshen roared fiercely and glared at Xue Lingzi furiously.

A vast spiritual energy burst out of his body like a storm, and a huge Sovereign Celestial Body gradually condensed. Since Luo Li was the reason that Mu Chen came to the Luo God Clan, he was determined to protect Mu Chen. Otherwise, he would be ashamed to see his granddaughter.

“You useless old man! You were seriously wounded by my Blood Demon Curse, and still have yet to recover! You think you are qualified to speak harshly in front of me, especially when you are on the verge of death?” In the face of Luo Tianshen’s majestic aura, Xue Lingzi cackled, his laughter full of disdain.

As he laughed, he stepped out. Immediately, a gushing sea of blood condensed behind him, then turned into an incomparably massive Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance. As the Celestial Appearance breathed, a blood fog permeated the air. Even the space melted and corroded amid the blood poison within the fog.

“What are y’all waiting for?” When Xue Lingzi summoned the Sovereign Celestial Appearance to suppress Luo Tianshen, his dark eyes looked at the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns.

Immediately, Xue Shou, Xue Tong, and Xue Yi, the three Blood God Clan Elders, transformed into three streams of light and shot across the sky, carrying terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations as they charged towards Mu Chen.

“Stop them!” Luo Tianshen roared furiously.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu charged towards the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns, while activating their majestic fighting intent. The other Luo God Clan Sovereigns also charged out courageously.

However, in the face of three Lower Earthly Sovereigns, their attempts were useless. The three blood-red beams of light charged straight through them, destroying their defenses one by one. In a moment, the Luo God Clan was close to defeat.

The members of the Luo God Clan turned deathly pale once again. They were also fully aware that, even though Mu Chen was a Lower Earthly Sovereign, he could not help turn the tides for the Luo God Clan.

Luo Tianlong was also trying to help Mu Chen, but he was entangled with the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns, all of whom were part of the Luo God Clan Royal Divisions. Were it not for these three men, who did not truly want to engage in a life-or-death battle with him, even he would be in a desperate position at this time.

“Luo Tianlong, don’t struggle any more. The growth of the Blood God Clan’s power is irreparable, so we are doing this to preserve the Luo God Clan! Otherwise, our clan will be destroyed!” one of the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns of the Luo God Clan Royal Divisions said. They clearly did not want to see Luo Tianlong fall here.

However, even after facing their solicitation, Luo Tianlong responded only with a disdainful gaze. He was not interested in replying.

So, the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns could only strengthen the blockade. It was akin to an iron cage locking in a ferocious tiger, as Luo Tianlong charged again and again, trying to escape, but only injuring himself in the process.

The heavens and earth once again descended into chaos. Meanwhile, from a tower in the Luo God Clan, several figures looked at the terrible situation from afar.

“Are we not striking now?” Liu Tiandao asked in a low voice, looking at the three Blood God Clan Lower Earthly Sovereigns who were charging towards Mu Chen.

Mandela, who was standing in front, had her eyes closed and said nonchalantly, “Hurry up and recover.”

At this time, the four of them, including Liu Tiandao, were not in their peak states after their recent period of hectic travel. After all, they did not have Mu Chen’s abnormally fast recovery time, so their current spiritual power had not yet been fully restored.

The Netherworld Palace Master hesitated for a moment, then said,

“Those are three Lower Earthly Sovereigns.”

He seemed to remind Mandela that, although Mu Chen was strong, it was too dangerous for him to face three Lower Earthly Sovereigns alone. After his reminder, however, Mandela smirked.

She then glanced at Liu Tiandao and said, “Have a good look at your Estate Master’s means. Now, hush and take a breather. Things won’t be that simple here…”

Mandela’s eyes then glanced towards the distance casually.

…

As Mu Chen stood above the Luo River, he looked at the three beams of blood-red light that were shooting towards him at an astonishing speed. However, what was surprising was that his expression was not panicked at all. Instead, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“Mu Chen…” Luo Li’s voice rang out from behind him. As she also saw the three Earthly Sovereigns charging towards Mu Chen, worry surfaced in her gaze.

She then asked softly, “Do you need my help?”

Mu Chen smiled and replied, “Your Spiritual Calamity is coming.”

At this time, the sky above Luo Li had layers of spiritual clouds converging within it, all of which were signs of the Spiritual Calamity’s arrival. Thus, she could not battle with the others now. Luo Li understood this and bit her red lips.

Huff.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, and as he turned his head to look at Luo Li, he smiled gently and asked, “Luo Li, do you believe me?”

Luo Li retuned a fond smile and replied, “What do you think?”

Mu Chen grinned, then stepped on the surface of the water slowly. As water ripples emerged at his feet, his voice rang out, “Go through the Spiritual Calamity in peace. As for these three mad dogs, I’ll end them for you!”
