The Great Ruler

As Qing Yanjing’s voice faded, her cold eyes gazed at Budur Xuan, who looked solemn and nonchalant. Qing Yanjing’s bone-chilling voice echoed in between heaven and earth. “Great Elder, I see you’re exhibiting your mightiness since you did not consider your seniority by attacking someone junior to you.”

Budur Xuan looked indifferent and snorted. “Junior? Our Budur Ancient Clan has no such arrogant junior. If I don’t strike today, I’m afraid the entire clan will be uprooted by that good son of yours!”

With a cold look, she replied, “Do you think I have no idea about you guys? You must have forced Chen into this.”

Budur Xuan raged and bellowed, “Qing Yanjing, you’re outrageous. Step aside now. Today, I’m going to seize this perpetrator for making a scene in the Budur Ancient Clan!”

Qing Yanjing raised her eyebrows in anger and said in a harsh tone, “I put up with you in the past just to protect my son. Now, you’re pushing my limits time and time again. Today, I want to know who dares to pick on my son in front of me?!”

Her gentleness had long disappeared and was replaced by a cold and harsh aura. Qing Yanjing struck fear into many powerhouses of the Budur Ancient Clan, as none of them had seen Qing Yanjing enraged before. Moreover, she was confronting the Great Elder. Apparently, no matter how gentle women were, they would turn into protective and dangerous tigers when their children were in danger.

“Qing Yanjing!” Budur Xuan bellowed in a rage with a voice like thunder. He had not expected that Qing Yanjing, who was usually compromising, would be headstrong today. She had no intention in giving in to him, the Great Elder, at all.

“Since you are so obstinate, I’ll seize both of you today!” Budur Xuan howled in anger. As the patriarch of the Budur Ancient Clan, he had a high regard for rules and regulations. Without a doubt, Qing Yanjing’s behavior disregarded the clan’s rules and regulations. How could he tolerate such actions?

Boom!

As his furious voice faded, a significant amount of spiritual light broke out from his body, forming an enormous black and white halo under his feet. As the two colors swirled, the halo released destructive energy. This Divine Heavenly Sovereign of the Budur Ancient Clan had finally exploded all his power without any reservation.

Intimidating oppression ravaged the land. Under such oppression, some Heavenly Sovereigns might even feel a sense of foreboding, as if a mountain were on their shoulders.

“Hmph, I’ve been tolerating you for so many years. Let me try out your capability as the Great Elder today!” Qing Yanjing had no fear of the infuriated Budur Xuan as she took a step out of the Fortify Clan Grand Array. Apparently, she was not keen on relying on the grand array’s power. As she stepped out, the entire land immediately darkened. At the same time, millions of spiritual seals flickered and glowed like a sky filled with endless stars.

Boom!

Budur Xuan stomped his feet, and the earth shook. The oversized black and white halo began to rapidly shrink in size. Eventually, it shrank to the size of a foot. Even though the halo shrank, its black and white colors were refined to an intimidating state. Even the slightest glow from it contained fluctuations that could strike fear into any Heavenly Sovereign.

Shua!

Budur Xuan flung his robe, and the black and white halo charged out. As the halo spun, space was torn. The halo was so sharp, even a real dragon would not dare to stand in front of it.

Qing Yanjing quickly formed seals with her slim hands. Within seconds, endless spiritual seals flashed out and developed thousands of spiritual arrays in the land before her.

Boom!

As the black and white halo charged into the group of arrays, it ripped the arrays apart without any difficulty. However, after it ran through the thousand blocks of spiritual seals, its energy also dissipated and transformed into a dot of light before it vanished into thin air.

The exchange of blows looked magnificent and ravishing, but the vague fluctuation exuded could cause many Heavenly Sovereigns to quiver. If such a confrontation were to explode without reservation, the entire Budur Territory would be devastated…

“Thanks to the Great Elder, during my confinement all these years, I leveled up to Divine Ancestral Master. Hence, I would like you to try my Divine Ancestral Master arrays!” Millions of spiritual seals merged with the air. A huge spiritual array was slowly laid out. Within a few seconds, the array encompassed the entire land.

Although the spiritual array extended out quite far, it only enveloped Budur Xuan within it. Even though the rest of the people were well within the array’s range, they were in a different world compared to the one enveloped in the array. The huge spiritual array seemed to form a world of its own. Anyone who was trapped in the spiritual array would not be able to escape unless the array cracked open.

Countless people stared at the giant spiritual array with wide eyes. These days, it was hard to spectate battles between Divine Heavenly Sovereigns. It was even more rare to witness the array displayed by the Divine Ancestral Master. The battle between the two Divines made their trips worthwhile.

Budur Xuan stood within the large array as his expression grew stern. Even he did not dare to underestimate the array displayed by the Divine Ancestral Master.

Weng.

While Budur Xuan was waiting with his full attention, radiant light suddenly emanated in the world of the spiritual array. Nine giant suns slowly rose up from this world. Nine Ancient Golden Birds seemed to be crouching within the giant suns. As they shrieked, they exhaled breaths of solar flame. The intimidating temperature seemed to be able to instantly melt the entire world, not to mention a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

Shriek!

Suddenly, loud cries came from the nine giant suns that gave off nine beams of light that could burn the eyeballs with just direct eye contact. As the solar flame beams fell from the sky, they headed straight in Budur Xuan’s direction.

Budur Xuan looked solemn. He put his hands together, and two black and white streams of gas swept out from his sleeves. The gases turned into two enormous dragons in black and white. As they roared, they exhaled two breaths in black and white that defended against the intimidating solar flame.

Boom!

As they exchanged blows, the world of the spiritual array suddenly shook. The devastating fluctuation ripped outward. Even those spectators who were outside of the world of the spiritual array could feel the intimidating heat rushing towards them. Their physical bodies felt prickly pain as they thought they were melting away. It was hard to imagine how daunting it was to be in the array.

Qing Yanjing stood in the air with her white dress fluttering. She looked at the solar flame that crumpled under the non-stop attack of Budur Xuan’s two black and white dragons. She formed a seal with her hands and cried, “Nine Suns Refining Earth!”

Shriek!

The Nine Golden Birds in the giant suns let out a loud cry. They flew down and circled around Budur Xuan. As the solar flame burned, the suns with golden birds were gone and were replaced by a huge golden furnace. A blazing solar flame flared up on the furnace while Budur Xuan was trapped within.

Blaze!

The golden flame gathered madly in the furnace. The heat that filled the world rapidly retracted as if the furnace had taken in all the heat. Under such circumstances, Budur Xuan’s expression gradually turned solemn.

When the golden flame finally disappeared utterly, nine drops of golden magma surfaced and were floating quietly. Even though it looked harmless, Budur Xuan knew that each drop of golden magma was enough to burn the entire world down if it were to fall in any area of the lower planes.

“Go.” Qing Yanjing pointed her finger, and nine drops of golden magma directed at Budur Xuan shot out ferociously.

Budur Xuan rapidly staggered back. At the same time, the huge dragons transformed from the black and white gases twined themselves together and pivoted without stopping. The next moment, a low yell was heard. “Budur Hole!” As the black and white gases spun themselves madly, they formed a black and white hole in front of Budur Xuan.

Nine drops of golden magma shot right into the black and white hole. Once the nine drops of magma entered the hole, Budur Xuan’s expression suddenly changed. The black and white hole vibrated violently and eventually exploded. A huge golden mushroom cloud that could encompass the entire world rose from the explosion. Everything was destroyed as the golden impact wave swept across the land.

Boom!

The entire array vibrated vigorously. The various powerhouses outside of the zone were looking at the golden impact wave, their faces as white as a sheet. All of them felt chills in their spines. If the array broke and the golden impact wave spread out, at least three quarters of the people would be reduced to ashes.

Luckily, the golden impact wave dissipated as it hit the array’s border. Countless gazes quickly cast over to check on Budur Xuan. His beard and even his flesh were burned and had turned black.

These powerhouses were dumbfounded, as they knew the physical bodies of the divine experts were almost too strong to be destroyed. Even so, Budur Xuan was burned into such an embarrassing state.

“The Divine Spiritual Array is indeed formidable…” Most of the powerhouses were secretly praising the array. If anyone below Divine Grade were to land in this spiritual array, they could only wait for death to come.

Budur Xuan’s expression darkened while everyone was gazing at him. His blood was boiling as he glared at Qing Yanjing. In a stern voice, he asked, “Qing Yanjing, do you really want to be so stubborn?!”

Qing Yanjing replied in a cold voice, “You bullied my child, and you want me to stop now?”

Budur Xuan looked furious. He spoke in a low voice. “Fine, since you refuse to come to your senses, don’t blame me for what happens today!” He took a deep breath, and his voice echoed throughout the entire Budur Territory. “Ancestor Pagoda!”
