The Great Ruler

Chapter 1375: Space Node

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the endless nothingness, an occasional space storm raged. Meteors also surged past from time to time, which echoed out loud noises that reverberated throughout the heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

In the boundless heaven and earth, a flash of light passed by as a dusty young figure was looking around. It seemed as the figure was searching for something important.

“The Lower Plane from which Reverend White Dragon came from should be in this direction,” the young figure murmured to himself as he looked down at the back of his hand from time to time. There, a white dragon rune gave off a bright white light.

This figure was naturally Mu Chen. Since leaving the North Region, he had been on his own for three months. For those three months, he had never stopped, ceaselessly following the direction of the dragon rune’s navigation and constantly heading southwest of the Great Thousand World.

In the course of that journey, he did not know how many continents he had passed by. Amid this crazy rush, he had taken three months before he had ventured into the southwestern part of the world.

According to the dragon rune, the Lower Plane Space Node from which Reverend White Dragon came should be in this area. However, find it was no easy feat.

This was because the Great Thousand World was connected with countless Lower Planes. In order to move from the Great Thousand World to the Lower Planes, he must find first the space node.

This space node was as small as a speck of dust, at least before it was opened. Thus, it was not easy to find that space node amid such a vast area.

However, after a full three months of travel, Mu Chen’s state of mind had calmed down. Since he was determined to step into the Heavenly Sovereign level, he had decided that he must stay positive and hopeful, while just giving this journey his best.

At the moment, he closed his eyes, and a magnificent spiritual energy burst out from his body. The energy immediately spread throughout the surroundings like waves.

Mu Chen’s perception, along with the spread of his spiritual power, began to spread out and explore every inch of the space. He knew it would be a long process, but he was determined to be patient.

In this way, time quietly passed as Mu Chen continued his search. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed!

Mu Chen did not know how far he had probed, but he knew that every exploration ended with his complete spiritual exhaustion. At that time, he would pause and cultivate in order to recover his spiritual energy. After that, he was able to continue his exploration. This constant cycle occurred again and again…

Even after a month’s time, the search was still fruitless. But, Mu Chen refused to give up, so he simply decided to expand the search.

Thus, another month passed…

Within the space, Mu Chen opened his eyes. His handsome face was colored with exhaustion. Even though he was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, he found this intense search to be somewhat unbearable.

He looked up, and his spiritual energy spread out nearly a hundred miles. However, he still felt no change. It seemed that his quest was still fruitless.

“My spiritual energy will be exhausted again soon.” As Mu Chen frowned, his eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.

In these two months of exploration, he had experienced so much disappointment. In fact, had it not been for his strong will, he would have given up long ago.

“Is there something wrong with the directions, or has the Lower Plane been destroyed entirely?” Mu Chen mumbled, while he looked down at the dragon rune that was on the back of his hand. If this was so, his efforts of nearly half a year would have all been in vain!

“No matter what, I can’t give up now!” Mu Chen grit his teeth and murmured. He wanted to recover his now frail spiritual energy, rest a bit, and then continue to explore.

However, Mu Chen’s face suddenly froze. In the direction just west of him, there seemed to be a change of movement within the space. That change so extremely subtle, if it weren’t for Mu Chen’s extreme sensitivity, he would never have even noticed it.

Immediately, he vanished into thin air. After a few moments, he appeared a hundred miles away from where the change had occurred.

As his eyes gazed at the space ahead, he began spreading his spiritual energy out, exploring the space carefully. The spiritual energy spread out gradually, and after a long time, Mu Chen’s pupils suddenly shrank. He immediately conjured up some seals, only to see that the spread of the spiritual energy had swarmed towards a certain point at a surprising speed!

Buzz!

The spiritual energy then turned into a halo, while Mu Chen’s gaze was transfixed on the deepest part of the aperture. A dust-like black spot of light loomed and surfaced there, and a strange wave of spatial fluctuation radiated out from the black spot.

Mu Chen looked at the black spot of light, his face filled with unconcealed ecstasy. This black spot was the space node that he had been searching for these past two months! Through this space node, he would be able to enter Reverend White Dragon’s Plane!

“At last, I found it.” Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not immediately open the space node.

Instead, he sat down, and with a wave of his sleeve, a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid flowed out of it, quickly restoring his spiritual energy. Although it was only a Lower Plane, it had been occupied by the Extraterritorial Race. So, if he wanted to get into it, he must keep himself in peak condition at all times.

While he was recovering his spiritual energy, Mu Chen remained vigilant. He constantly scanned his surroundings in case someone suddenly burst into the space and was also coveting the space node.

For the people of the Great Thousand World, these Lower Planes were strange places that were filled with great opportunities. The key factor to know was that the Lower Planes were inherently weaker than the Great Thousand World, so if one could get to the Lower Planes, they would be able to enjoy a sense of invincibility and garner all kinds of resources!

Fortunately, if the people of the Great Thousand World wanted to get into the Lower Planes, it would still be too difficult for the majority of them, even if they found a space node. Due to the Planes’ Rules, if they wanted to go down to the Lower Planes, they must have something that originated from that place to act as a guide.

This was why he had the white dragon rune, which could be used as a key to get him into the Lower Planes. Of course, things were not absolute, and there were always ways for people to sneak into the Lower Planes.

Thus, Mu Chen did not want to let other people also find the space node that he had spent so much time and effort looking for. Otherwise, trouble would surely arise.

As Mu Chen was guarding his discovery vigilantly, about two hours passed, and the spiritual power that had been consumed in his body was gradually restored. At the moment, a bright light surged in his eyes.

Feeling the restored spiritual energy in his body, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He then stood up and gazed at the black space node.

Without further hesitation, he pointed at it. Immediately, his vast spiritual energy roared out and landed directly upon the space node.

Buzz!

The space node, like a black hole, devoured the vast expanse of power, and the dust-like black spots began to expand. A few minutes later, the speck of dust turned into an actual black hole, which was emanating wild spatial fluctuations.

Mu Chen looked at the black hole in front of him and hammered out his fist, but even he was deflected back! The strong force made his fist tingle with pain.

“Sure enough, it’s hard for people from the Great Thousand World to break into the Lower Planes…” Mu Chen murmured.

He then sighed and clenched his fists. As he did so, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl flashed out, while he summoned his spiritual energy. A faint white light emerged within the pearl before shrouding Mu Chen within it.

Seeing this, Mu Chen took a deep breath and his face became grave. He then stepped right into that black hole!

Hopefully, this will be the beginning of my true journey to becoming a Heavenly Sovereign…

As Mu Chen’s body disappeared into the black hole, the black hole vibrated slightly. It then shrunk rapidly before finally becoming dust once again, hidden within the vast void.

At that moment, complete silence enveloped the void once more.
