The Great Ruler

Hearing the roar from his back, Mu Chen embraced Qing Shuang’s waist while turning around and looked at the Commander of the Flame Demon Clan with an indifferent gaze.

At this moment, the latter was looking at him like a ferocious beast.

Facing his rage, Mu Chen did not respond, but merely cast a glance into the distance. Qing Ling, who had fled a distance away had returned at this moment.

“Mu Chen?” When she saw Mu Chen’s silhouette, Qing Ling was stunned. But when she saw Mu Chen hugging the fainted Qing Shuang, her gaze turned complicated. She did not expect that Mu Chen would come to save them when they’re in trouble.

Mu Chen gently patted with his palm as Spiritual Energy enveloped Qing Shuang’s figure and sent her to Qing Ling. “Watch her.”

Qing Ling swiftly held onto Qing Shuang and gritted her teeth as said in a soft tone, “Thanks!”

In the past, she did not hold Mu Chen, who was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, with much importance. She even felt that Mu Chen was arrogant for not accepting their help.

At this moment... she felt regretful and ashamed of her previous views.

Although this youth before her possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Buddha Clan, he did not use any resources of the Ancient Buddha Clan. But even so, his achievements weren’t any weaker than Mo Xin and Xuan Luo.

To a certain degree, he’s even more outstanding than the two of them.

“Be careful. He’s powerful.” Qing Ling couldn’t help reminding when she retreated. After all, she witnessed the power of the Flame Demon Clan. Even Qing Shuang, at her peak, only barely managed to fend him off.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head with his gaze was fixated on the commander of the Flame Demon Clan. He could sense a faint threat.

After all, the reason why he could beat the commander of the Flame Demon Clan was by surprise. With preparations, it won’t be easy to obtain similar effects.

The black and white-robed Mu Chen also flew over and stood beside Mu Chen, the three of them were staring at the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.

Under the three gazes, the violence in the eyes of the commander retreated, replaced with graveness.

With his eyesight and senses, Mu Chen was more powerful than the two experts of the Flame God Clan. Thus, he could sense that although Mu Chen was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, his fighting strength definitely exceeded that, which he had already figured out from their previous confrontation.

“Brat, hand the two women over, and this commander will let you go!” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan spoke as his gaze flickered.

However, Mu Chen only smiled in response before his gaze suddenly turned sharp. “Get lost.”

“You’re courting death!” The violence rose back in the commander of the Flame Demon Clan. Although Mu Chen didn’t seem to be easy to deal with, it’s absolutely not tolerable for someone to dare to speak to him in this manner!

“You sneak-attacked me earlier and gained the advantage. Since you’re courting death, this commander will fulfill your wish!”

The commander savagely smiled before he stomped his foot. The entire region trembled. Black flames swept out from his body as the temperature in this region instantly surged, even the atmosphere around here started to burn.

A powerful pressure burst out from the Flame Demon Clan’s commander.

As Qing Ling sensed that pressure, her face uncontrollably changed. The strength of this commander must already be at the Pinnacle Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm.

Facing such an opponent, even Xuan Luo and Mo Xin would find it troublesome.

“Flame Demon Hand!” The commander sinisterly looked at Mu Chen before his hand abruptly slapped down. Instantly, black flames gathered over and turned into a massive demonic palm of flames that covered the sky while flying towards Mu Chen.

Before the palm landed, the earth down below had already collapsed with the mountain forest turning into an ocean of flames.

As the palm whistled, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes before he took a deep breath. Instantly, three boundless streaks of Spiritual Energy shot out from the three of them.

Three Spiritual Energies converged together and became like a pillar that stood between the heavens and earth and clashed with that demonic palm.

The whole region trembled with black flames and Spiritual Energy wreaking havoc.

As the two ferocious attacks clashed, the figure of the Flame Demon Clan’s commander appeared before Mu Chen with the pearl in his hand that unleashed countless beams.

“Spirit Trapping Demonic Net!” Those beams intertwine into a massive net that enveloped the three Mu Chen.

“Heh, falling into my demonic net, even if you’re a Perfected Earth Sovereign in your Great Thousand World, you will still die!” The commander sneered after seeing that his attack had succeeded.

However, a dazzling Spiritual Energy burst out like a blazing sun from the demonic net. In the next instant, a massive purplish-golden lustre was formed in the net.

The purplish-golden lustre emanated an immortal aura that, under the erosion, had quickly destroyed the demonic net.

“Divine Immortal Runes - Myriad Transformation, Divine Immortal Fist!” When the net was destroyed, a holler roared as the commander of the Flame Demon Clan squinted his eyes. A myriad foot-high purplish-golden fist that carried a terrifying power like a deity shattered space as it smashed towards him.

“Flame Demonic Shield!” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan held onto the pearl and blazing flames swept out, turning into a massive shield of black flames with skull runes carved on it.

The huge fist slammed against the shield and the two terrifying powers clashed together. However, the fist emanated an immortal light that seemed to have suppressed the blazing demonic flames.

Thus, the shield only lasted for a few breaths before it exploded. The commander of the Flame Demon Clan was like a cannonball as he shot back and slammed into a mountain, causing the entire mountain to crumble from the impact.

But huge stones burst out as the Flame Demon Clan’s commander soared into the sky and looked at the distance with a solemn expression. A purplish-golden silhouette stood on the horizon with three Mu Chens coldly staring at him from the shoulder of that massive silhouette.

“So this is the so-called ‘Sovereign Celestial Body’ of the Great Thousand World?” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan’s gaze flickered with a cold gaze.

“Nevermind, I’ll show you the means of my Flame Demon Clan today!” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan’s hands joined together with black flames flashing in his eyes, as if they wanted to blaze his eyes.

The sky behind him violently trembled with black flames violently gathering together. A few breaths later, a myriad foot-high black demonic statue gathered behind the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.

That demonic statue was enveloped in black flames, and with a glance, it was filled with violence and killing intent.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the demonic statue.

Looking at this from afar, Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed with shock on his face. He clearly never expected that the commander of the Flame Demon Clan would be so troublesome. This means alone was extremely shocking to him.

According to his estimation, ordinary Perfected Earth Sovereigns weren’t a match for this Flame Demon Clan’s commander.

Mu Chen took a deep breath and his face turned solemn. The strength of the Flame Demon Clan’s commander was truly powerful. It looked like a great battle was unavoidable.

He formed seals with a single hand and the Immortal Golden Body burst out with purplish-golden lustre, along with a powerful pressure that emanated out.

But all of a sudden, a powerful cold aura gushed out, which startled Mu Chen and the commander of the Flame Demon Clan. The both of them directed their gazes over and saw that Qing Shuang had woken up with a longsword in her hand that was fixated on the commander of the Flame Demon Clan.

“This troublesome woman!” The commander of the Flame Demon Clan’s face sunk, since dealing with Mu Chen was troublesome enough. If Qing Shuang joined him, even he would lose the battle.

His face briefly flickered before he snickered at Mu Chen, “Consider yourself lucky, this time. If we meet the next time, I’ll use my demonic status to crush your Sovereign Celestial Body!”

The demonic statue suddenly turned into a black hurricane with black flames that swept him away at a stunning speed.

Mu Chen never expected that this fellow would be so decisive, leaving him briefly stunned. Looking in the direction where the commander of the Flame Demon Clan fled towards, he couldn’t help knitting his brows.

Although it was just a brief exchange, he had learned the formidability of the Fiend Clans.

That fellow could be considered amongst the top of the Fiend Clans in the Primordial Sacred Abyss. It’s just that he had no idea how many more of such experts he would encounter in this layer...

Mu Chen slowly retracted his eyes before pursing his lips. It looked like it wouldn’t be an easy task for him to obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda...
