The Great Ruler

The space in front of Mu Chen smashed, and the golden figure dashed out of it. When Mu Chen saw the pair of emotionless eyes looking at him, his heart sank. Although he had prepared himself well, he had not expected Maha You to set him up. Maha You had changed the golden figure’s position toward Mu Chen’s direction. By doing so, Maha You had escaped from the golden figure and sent Mu Chen to it.

Mu Chen’s mind was in turmoil. In the twinkle of an eye, the phoenix wings behind him flapped hard and turned into afterimages as he quickly moved back.

Swoosh!

The golden figure fixed its gaze on Mu Chen, who was now nearest to it. It turned into a golden light and shot out, tearing the afterimages apart and getting closer to Mu Chen. Mu Chen activated his speed to the maximum and changed his position several times. However, he was still unable to shake off the golden figure, whose speed had increased tremendously. Mu Chen’s face started to turn sullen.

Maha You smiled derisively as he stood in the distance and watched the golden figure go after Mu Chen, who was running around in a sorry state.

Swoosh!

Mu Chen turned into a shadow and moved around the area. Although the oppression behind him was getting closer, he became calmer. Light glittered in his eyes, and occasionally, he would glance at the ancient place and ponder his situation. Judging from the golden figure’s speed, it would soon catch up with Mu Chen. No matter what means Mu Chen used on him, he knew that he would not be able to fend it off.

Mu Chen’s strongest defense was the Immortal Golden Lotus. The defense force of his Immortal Golden Lotus was almost on par with Tuo Ba Cang’s, and since Tuo Ba Cang’s Immortal Golden Lotus had been torn apart by the golden figure, Mu Chen would likely end up like Tuo Ba Cang. Since he could not fight the golden figure and was unable to escape from it, Mu Chen was at a dead end.

If any ordinary people were in such a situation, they would be flustered. However, after Mu Chen had gone through so many trials throughout the years, he had been trained to toughen up his mind. He knew that the more flustered he became, the less likely it was that he would find a way to escape.

What should I do? Mu Chen was getting anxious. After a while, he looked at the area and had a crazy idea.

Roar!

A roaring sound came from behind him, and a horrifying oppression swirled toward him, causing his body to tremble. When he glanced from the corner of his eyes, he saw that the golden figure was closing in on him. It was stretching out its hand to grab Mu Chen. There was no way of escape for Mu Chen now.

When Maha You saw the scene, his eyes turned cold. Let’s see where you can escape to!

Mu Chen could smell the aura of death coming toward him. Suddenly, he formed a seal with his hands, and his huge Immortal Golden Body appeared behind him. When the golden figure saw it, it had a covetous look on its face.

Mu Chen stopped running away. He turned his head and looked coldly at the golden figure coming toward him. In the next instant, he formed a seal, and a deep voice came out of his mouth. “Burst!”

The moment the word came out of Mu Chen’s mouth, cracks started to form on the Immortal Golden Body behind him. A Great Purple Golden Sun appeared in the Immortal Golden Body, and myriad rays of light burst out from it.

Boom!

A loud explosion resounded, and purple golden light filled the area. An indescribable destructive shockwave raged out, and wherever it passed, it destroyed everything in its way. Even the golden figure pouncing toward Mu Chen was thrown back a great distance, and it roared out bitterly.

“He has burst his own Immortal Golden Body!” When Ye Qing saw it, his face turned pale. He had not expected Mu Chen to be so decisive and ruthless. He had burst his own Immortal Golden Body, which contained the Immortality Source. By doing so, Mu Chen would not be able to condense the Immortal Golden Body unless he cultivated it all over again.

“This guy…” Maha You was shocked by Mu Chen’s decisiveness. He had thought that Mu Chen would surely die. He had not expected Mu Chen to burst his own Immortal Golden Body to escape from the golden figure.

However, Maha You squinted and quickly pushed the thought away. Although Mu Chen had managed to stay alive by bursting his own Immortal Golden Body, he must have been seriously injured, so he no longer posed a threat to Maha You. After Ye Qing was killed by the golden figure, he would then strike.

As Maha You thought of this, he curled his lips into an evil smile. He clenched his fist, and an ancient talisman appeared in his hand, indistinctly exuding a horrifying fluctuation.

Their Maha Ancient Clan had thoroughly prepared in order to obtain the Primordial Immortal Body. Although the situation had gotten out of hand, Maha You still had other means to deal with it. However, he had to wait for Ye Qing to be killed before he took action.

…

“Chen!” Qing Yanjing was outside the Aeon Tower, and when she saw that Mu Chen had burst his own Immortal Golden Body, her face turned pale. In the next instant, a horrifying spiritual energy windstorm burst out from her body and shook the area. Qing Yanjing’s face turned cold, and her eyes looked icy enough to freeze the void. She turned into a shadow and dashed toward the Aeon Tower.

“Qing Yanjing, how dare you!” Maha Tian shouted when he saw what Qing Yanjing was doing. He immediately appeared outside the Aeon Tower, and a spiritual energy windstorm raged through the area. The power of a Heavenly Sovereign swirled out.

“Get out of the way!” An ominous aura emanated from Qing Yanjing’s eyes. Suddenly, a large spiritual array came down from the heavens as though it was a new world and trapped Maha Tian. It was a white World of Magma, and the high temperature could burn a God Grade Heavenly Sovereign to ashes. A huge Magma Dragon roared and dashed toward Maha Tian as he stood in the sky.

When Maha Tian saw it, he looked down and waved his sleeve. A black and white yin-yang aura came out from his sleeve and circled around him. Every time the huge Magma Dragon dashed toward him, the black and white yin-yang aura would smash it.

“Qing Yanjing, are you crazy? Do you intend to start a fight with our clan right here!?” Maha Tian said coldly.

“Maha You has set my son up. Do you think that I will let the matter rest?!” Qing Yanjing replied sharply, and her voice resounded in the area.

Maha Tian snorted and said, “All of them have to depend on their own means to survive in the Aeon Tower. Mu Chen was being careless, so he cannot blame anyone for it. What you are doing is bringing disgrace to your Budur Ancient Clan!”

“You are spouting nonsense.” Qing Yanjing sneered and immediately activated hundreds of thousands of huge Magma Dragons. They stared at Maha Tian.

Maha Tian looked down and said in a deep voice, “Now that the Aeon Tower is having problems, are you sure you want to start a fight now? Your son has burst his own Immortal Golden Body, but he is still alive. After Maha You has dealt with the golden figure, he will be fine. If Maha You is unable to deal with the golden figure, he and your son will die in the Aeon Tower, and none of us will be able to save them!”

Qing Yanjing was taken aback. Her expression changed, and her face turned frosty. After waving her hand, the World of Magma disappeared into thin air. “If my son has any mishaps, I will have no qualms about starting a fight with your Maha Ancient Clan,” Qing Yanjing said coldly and went back to her previous spot.

Maha Tian looked at Qing Yanjing, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He then flew back to the high platform.

After the two Divine Heavenly Sovereigns went back to their respective places, the top powers heaved a sigh of relief. They wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads, as they had been frightened out their wits earlier when the two Heavenly Sovereigns exchanged blows.

“Qing Yanjing has gone overboard!” the elders of the Maha Ancient Clan said after Maha Tian was back to the high platform.

Maha Tian looked down and said coldly, “Let’s leave her alone for now. The most important thing at the moment is to get our hands on the Primordial Immortal Body. After that, we will deal with her.”

…

The windstorm raged through the ancient place, and after a long while, it dissipated. The ground was filled with holes, and bottomless chasms were everywhere. It was an unusual sight.

Mu Chen had disappeared from the sky, but Maha You and Ye Qing could not be bothered with him, for they saw that the golden figure was moving toward them.

When Mu Chen burst his own Immortal Golden Body, the Immortality Source had dispersed, but the golden figure was unable to get its hand on it. It was irritated, and it dashed toward Maha You and Ye Qing. When the two of them saw it, they immediately ran away.

Suddenly, there was another life and death chase. Air-rending sounds filled the area, and Mu Chen laid in an abyss, looking pale. Blood was all over him, and the spiritual energy in him weakened. Apparently, he had been seriously injured.

All these years, Mu Chen had never come across a situation in which he needed to burst his own Immortal Golden Body. After bursting his Immortal Golden Body, his Immortality Source had been destroyed. He could no longer condense the Immortal Golden Body…

After cultivating the Immortal Golden Body for so many years, Mu Chen felt the heartache of losing it. However, he knew that it was not the time to cry over it, as the current crisis was not over yet. He had to think of a way to get out of the situation.

Hoof.

Mu Chen let out a deep breath. The excruciating pain in his body caused his brows to crease, but he was not bothered by it. He looked through the abyss, stared at the ancient place, and gradually shut his eyes. He had to confirm if he was right in his assumption. If his assumption was correct, it had been worth it for him to burst his own Immortal Golden Body…
