The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

A spiritual radiance engulfed the entire Great Thousand World as Mu Chen’s figure became unspeakably majestic. His every single movement would trigger a boundless power within the world.

“Congratulations, Ruler Mu, in becoming a Ruler!” The Spirit Demon Continent burst out in cheers that rumbled throughout the heavens and earth.

The Great Thousand World previously felt despair because of the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s tenth eye, but who could have expected that the situation would turn around as they welcomed their first Ruler in the Great Thousand World, one who has managed to leave his entire name on the Firmament Board!

Everyone practically went insane from the joy as they yelled out Mu Chen’s name.

As the cheers resounded across the Great Thousand World, the Firmament Board started to disappear, which the radiance around Mu Chen disappearing as well. At this moment, he was akin to an ordinary person, and it was so much so that there wasn’t any Spiritual Energy fluctuation on his body.

As he descended before the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, he cupped his hands together. “This Junior took a step first, so please don’t hold it against me.”

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor casually smiled. “The Great Thousand World is of utmost importance, and since you can stand out to obstruct the Heavenly Evil Monarch, the two of us owe you a favor instead.”

What Mu Chen said was the truth, since he initially speculated that he would require nearly a hundred years of accumulation to reach this step. However, he never expected that the sudden changes within the Great Thousand World would force him to unleash his potential and take the throne first.

If there wasn’t any tribulation in the Great Thousand World, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor would definitely be the first to ascend the Firmament Board.

As the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor exchanged a glance, they gently smiled. “The generation forges the hero, and the two of us have had our turn, which we made use of the momentum to reach new heights. But there aren’t many people that can accomplish that. It was your capability that allowed you to hold onto it.”

“But we will have to leave the Heavenly Evil Monarch to you now. The two of us will assist you from the side.”

As Mu Chen bowed, he cupped his hands together. “I will definitely not disappoint the two of you.”

After that, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the Heavenly Evil Monarch. At this moment, the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s face was grim with his tenth eye flickering with a black luster.

“I really never expected it!” The Heavenly Evil Monarch stared at Mu Chen as he continued, “I initially thought that my greatest opponent would be the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. I never expected that you would take the throne instead.”

“My Great Thousand World is unwilling to be enslaved, and even if I did not stand up, someone else would.” Mu Chen replied.

Gnashing his teeth, the Heavenly Evil Monarch coldly said, “Your Great Thousand World is truly fortunate to be able to turn the tables around at this moment.”

His voice was filled with hatred and rage. He initially had victory in his grasp when his tenth eye appeared, but who could’ve expected that Mu Chen would manage to leave his entire name.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch was clear that the moment someone leaves their entire name on the Firmament Board, it would represent their capability to control the world’s energy. That also meant that the Great Thousand World would be his home ground, and he would be stronger here.

This would definitely be a hard battle.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch’s face was dark as he took a deep breath. A black beam suddenly burst out from his eye and condensed in his palm, before forming a black lance. “Tenth Eye Demonic Lance!”

The entire spear was black and there were ten eyes on it that were blinking, permeating an extremely vile aura and a terrifying fluctuation that caused the entire Lower Plane to tremble.

Holding onto the lance, the Heavenly Evil Monarch said, “Today, I’ll see what a complete Ranker like you can do to me!”

Looking at the spear in the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s hand, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Evidently, the latter was no longer holding back, and he even retrieved a spear that he has never used in the past.

“A weapon…” Mu Chen pondered before he flung his sleeve and a boundless radiance gathered over and ignited, turning into a sea of flames before he flickered his finger and a black beam shot into the flame.

The beam was a huge black pillar that Mu Chen had used as a weapon a long time ago, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar.

But along with his growing strength, he stopped using it. But after reaching this level, he could already create a weapon that exceeded the rank of Peerless Saint Artifacts.

Since that’s the case, he could use the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as material.

As the flames blazed, the terrifying temperature swiftly melted the Great Meru Demonic Pillar and it turned into black liquid.

“Still lacking in some secondary materials.” Mu Chen looked at the black liquid before he flicked his finger once more. A sword cry echoed out and the dazzling Heavenly Emperor Sword was thrown into the sea of fire as well.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword was crippled, to begin with, and the energy within it had been fully exhausted. But as a secondary material, he could smelt it to create the strongest weapon that the Great Thousand World has ever seen.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword swiftly smelted into a dazzling liquid and fused with the black liquid. Under Mu Chen’s control, the liquid was gradually taking shape. After that, Mu Chen poured an endless amount of Spiritual Energy into it as well.

At the same time, with a will of his mind, the mighty world’s energy descended and was infused into the weapon as well.

In just ten-odd breaths, an earth-shattering sound echoed from the sea of flames before everyone saw a black pillar fly out and hover before Mu Chen.

“From today onwards, I’ll call you the Great Meru Saint Pillar!” Hearing Mu Chen’s voice, the pillar radiated as if it was rejoicing.

As Mu Chen’s hand moved, the Great Meru Saint Pillar swiftly shrunk down into a staff that entered Mu Chen’s palm. As Mu Chen brandished it and pointed it at the Heavenly Evil Monarch, space shattered.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch coldly snorted then took a step forth with the spear in his hand and appeared before Mu Chen. As the spear moved, it swept out myriad demonic beams with every single one of those being capable of destroying an entire continent.

Holding onto the Great Meru Saint Pillar, Mu Chen wasn’t afraid and faced the attack head-on.

The spear and staff clashed with energy waves exploding forth, displaying their extreme destructive prowess.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor retreated at this moment while pouring Spiritual Energy into the Lower Plane to form a membrane that enveloped the Lower Plane. This was meant to prevent the destructive fluctuations from Mu Chen and the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s attacks from implicating the Great Thousand World and causing destruction.

Everyone had shock in their eyes as they looked at the battle in the Lower Plane. The two silhouettes fought with the spear clashing with the staff, with every connection creating a destructive storm.

Even with the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor trying to contain the fluctuations, they still made everyone feel fear.

The confrontation continued and the Heavenly Evil Monarch roared when he saw that his attacks were being resisted. His face was replaced with a sinister expression as black liquid flowed over his body and formed into a set of evil armor.

At this moment, he was akin to a demonic deity.

In just an incense’s time, the two of them have fought over a myriad of times and even the heavens and earth looked dull with fear on everyone’s faces.

But fortunately, despite the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s ferocious attacks, Mu Chen wasn’t in a disadvantageous position. He was borrowing the world’s energy to fight on par with the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

As the spear and staff clashed, the destructive fluctuations caused Mu Chen’s and the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s bodies to tremble before they were blown back with the space beneath their feet shattering in the process.

“Heavenly Evil Monarch, this is my home ground, and it’s not beneficial to you if the deadlock continues.” Mu Chen slammed the staff in his hand to the ground and looked at the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

“Damn it! Damn it! You’re courting death!” The Heavenly Evil Monarch’s face was sinister with insanity flickering within his eyes as he viciously stared at Mu Chen. Evidently, he knew that it wasn’t favorable for him to have this deadlock situation.

“Since you want to die, then I’ll fulfill your wish!

“Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura - Devouring Universe!”

The Heavenly Evil Monarch roared and a boundless demonic radiance swept out from his body before gathering into a demonic asura behind him.

This Demonic Asura seemed to have connected the heavens and earth with ten evil eyes on its body. Every single one of those eyes were permeating with a terrifying and sinister fluctuation.

Looking at this demonic asura, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s hearts trembled. It looked like the Heavenly Evil Monarch was going insane.

That Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura looked at Mu Chen with a boundless demonic radiance exploding forth. In the next moment, it appeared before Mu Chen.

The Great Meru Saint Pillar within Mu Chen’s hand started to expand into a towering pillar that he slammed towards that demonic radiance.

When the Great Meru Saint Pillar slammed against the demonic radiance, it was blown away by a terrifying power and Mu Chen’s body had also suffered a heavy blow as it flew out.

“Die!” The Heavenly Evil Monarch roared and the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura’s ten eyes constantly flickered with demonic beams shooting out. It seemed like they would not give up unless they erased Mu Chen.

“Not good!” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor’s faces changed. This attack was too ferocious.

But just when they wanted to help Mu Chen, an ancient light flew over that was akin to a profound mirror. No matter how many demonic beams shot over, they were devoured by the mirror.

Thus, those demonic beams were stopped.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch’s face was solemn as he looked at Mu Chen. There was an ancient radiance behind the latter that formed into a standing figure.

That figure had the same appearance as Mu Chen, but there was a halo behind its head that had five colours, each permeating an ancient fluctuation.

If one sensed it carefully, they would realise that those fluctuations were the same as the Primordial Immortal Body, Endless Radiance Body, Great Spirit Sage Body, Ancient Terminal Body, and Desolate Ancestral Body.

“Primal Origin Body!” Mu Chen stood in the sky with his voice resounding.

By combining all five Primal Celestial Bodies, a whole new Sovereign Celestial Body was created that combined the five Primal Celestial Bodies.

“It’s my turn!” Mu Chen looked at the Heavenly Evil Monarch and his hands joined together. The five-coloured halo shot out and descended from above the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura.

“Five-Coloured Ancestral Demon Subduing Halo!” The five colours blossomed. It’s as if the five Primal Celestial Bodies have appeared and descended onto the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura.

The ancient spiritual radiance instantly caused the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura to roar and the demonic radiance on it started to dim down. It was as if the demonic aura was being dissolved.

“Demonic Devour!” Sensing the surrounding changes, the Heavenly Evil Monarch roared and the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura took a deep breath with boundless demonic aura gathering by its mouth before it was compressed.

“Demonic Breath!” In the next moment, a demonic sea gushed out and swept against the five-coloured halo, resisting the descending radiance.

Everyone on the Great Thousand World was nervous as they looked at the mirror. Anyone could tell that the battle has reached its climax, with both sides unleashing their ultimate moves.

The slightest mistake would be dire.

“The Heavenly Evil Monarch is growing anxious.” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor watched his scene and they knew that Mu Chen’s advantage would grow the longer this dragged on. After all, this was the Great Thousand World, and Mu Chen could borrow the world’s energy to fight with the Heavenly Evil Monarch.

Facing this situation, the Heavenly Evil Monarch also knew this, which was the reason why his face had turned even darker.

The Heavenly Evil Monarch stood beneath the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura with the tenth eye on his brows flickering. A long time later, a ferocity flashed across his face.

“Since you’re forcing me, then don’t blame me!” He knew that if he didn’t break this balance, he would definitely lose.

The Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura swept up the Heavenly Evil Monarch and turned into a demonic beam that soared into the horizon. As its ten eyes flickered, it tore through space and appeared in the void outside the Spirit Demon Continent.

As the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura roared, an ear-deafening voice echoed throughout the Great Thousand World, “Demons into Avīci - The Demonic Hell Descent!”

As his voice resounded, the Fiend Clans’ army howled before they exploded and turned into bloody mists that soared into the sky.

As the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura devoured the blood mist, it formed seals and its massive figure exploded. After that, the torrential demonic stream gushed out.

That stream penetrated through space before separating into smaller streams and appeared in every corner of the Great Thousand World.

At this moment, everyone within the various continents were astonished to see a huge sea of demonic streams surging over in an attempt to destroy their continents.

On the Spirit Demon Continent, countless people had their faces drained of colour.

“Haha, since you want to protect this Great Thousand World, then I will destroy it!” As the millions and millions of demonic streams flowed towards the Great Thousand World, the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s vicious voice resounded.

Mu Chen, the Flame Emperor, and Martial Ancestor appeared on the Spirit Demon Continent and they looked at the boundless demonic streams with their faces changed.

“That fellow has gone insane! He actually destroyed the Ten-Eyed Demonic Asura; that’s also a heavy blow to himself!” The Flame Emperor said with a solemn expression.

“We have to stop this, or the Great Thousand World will suffer a dire loss.” The Martial Ancestor replied.

“The demonic streams have separated into millions and millions of strands into the Great Thousand World. It won’t be easy to stop them.” The Flame Emperor’s brows were locked together.

At this moment, the various continents of the Great Thousand World were in chaos and everyone was looking at the demonic streams while trembling. The moment those streams descended, the entire world would be turned into a living hell.

As Mu Chen’s eyes flickered, he looked at the various continents going into chaos and said, “Those streams can devour life forms to strengthen itself, and the Heavenly Evil Monarch is hidden within them. He’s trying to devour lives to strengthen himself.”

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor suddenly narrowed their eyes. “Then we can’t let him achieve that. Do you have any ideas?”

As Mu Chen sat down, he nodded his head in the direction of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. “Please be reassured. If I allowed this threat to get what he wants, I would’ve let down the opportunity that the Great Thousand World gave me…

“Since he wants to separate himself into millions and millions of strands to devour the Great Thousand World, then I’ll show him that when everyone in the Great Thousand World is gathered together, we can bring out extraordinary strength as well.”
