The Great Ruler

Mu Chen’s voice rang out in this region, which attracted many shocked gazes, since they never expected that the first to stand out against Shi Tianyou would be a Greater Earth Sovereign...

“He’s courting death!” Mo Xin’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Mu Chen’s silhouette. He had already tasted the power of the Monarch’s corpse when he fought against it earlier. According to his estimation, even if he had brought out all his power and trump cards, his chances of winning weren’t high. That corpse was too powerful!

Whereas Mu Chen had stood up against something that even Mo Xin couldn’t accomplish, which in the latter’s view, was merely courting death.

Xuan Luo narrowed his eyes with a mocking arc on his lips. He was also ridiculing how impudent Mu Chen was being.

“Big Sister Qing Shuang, can he do it?” Qing Ling couldn’t help tugging Qing Shuang’s sleeves. Although they had witnessed Mu Chen’s strength, she still felt in her heart that Mu Chen was weaker than Mo Xin and Xuan Luo.

But the opponent he’s facing this time was even more terrifying. Didn’t Mu Chen see how Mo Xin got sent flying in a punch? Furthermore, Shi Tianyou still hadn’t made a move yet!

Qing Shuang pursed her lips with puzzlement in her heart. But at this time, there’s nothing they could do except believe in Mu Chen.

“Since he has chosen to do this, I believe he must be confident.” Qing Shuang said. From their earlier contact, Mu Chen was a calm person, and he wasn’t the type to be reckless.

Qing Ling nodded her head. She could only comfort herself at this moment.

However, Mu Chen did not care about the gazes directed at him. His gaze was fixed on Shi Tianyou right from the beginning with his gaze as sharp as a hawk.

“So, it’s you...” Shi Tianyou was a little surprised when he saw Mu Chen before he laughed out in a hoarse voice, “But you’re pretty gutsy since you still dare to stand before me.”

Pointing at the corpse, Shi Tianyou smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Can’t you feel its strength? After refining it, the strength of it is now more powerful than before.”

Mu Chen smiled when he heard those words. “So what? It’s just the corpse of a Monarch and not a genuine Monarch.”

“How boastful.” Shi Tianyou coldly replied after seeing how Mu Chen completely disregarded the Monarch’s corpse.

“We’ll know if I’m boasting after we fight.” Mu Chen sneered.

Shi Tianyou looked at Mu Chen with cold, killing intent flickering through his eyes.

It was at this moment, the Monarch’s corpse pounced forth and its dried-up hands pierced through space, making a grab towards Mu Chen’s throat.

That claw had even shattered space into fragments, along with a terrifying power.

However, Mu Chen had seen it coming. So when space shattered, Mu Chen tapped his feet and he retreated, leaving afterimages behind.

While he was retreating, Mu Chen’s finger gently swiped across that black ring.

A dazzling light burst out from the sky and everyone was shocked to see that a few thousand silhouettes stood in place of Mu Chen’s previous location.

When those thousands of silhouettes appeared, a massive Battle Will swept out that filled this entire region.

Mo Xin and Xuan Luo’s pupils had narrowed at this moment. Even with their composure, they couldn’t help being shocked to see the few thousand that had appeared out of nowhere. When they sensed the boundless Battle Will, the two of them exclaimed, “Battle Will? This is an army?!”

With such powerful Battle Will, this must be an elite troop.

Qing Ling and Qing Shuang had also widened their eyes, and they exclaimed after a long while, “He actually possesses such a powerful army?”

From the Battle Will emanated by the army, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign like Qing Shuang felt fearful of it.

It was naturally the Black Dragon Army that appeared in the sky, with Jiang Long standing at the front. He turned to look at Mu Chen with his hands cupped. “King Mu.”

“King Mu!” The few thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Army roared out in an orderly manner with their voices echoing like rumbling thunder. The formation of this army had left many people shocked.

Mu Chen gently nodded his head, looking at the Black Dragon Army before he raised his chin in the direction of the Monarch’s corpse. “Commander Jiang Long, we have met that thing again.”

Jiang Long turned around and his eyes were filled with hatred after looking at the Monarch’s corpse with a sneer. “King Mu, please give your orders for us to tear that corpse apart.”

“You’re a bunch of fools courting death!” Shi Tianyou eerily smiled before he waved his hand. “Kill them all!”

The Monarch’s corpse roared and a torrential demonic aura surged. In the next moment, it had lifted a myriad foot of demonic smoke that flew towards the Black Dragon Army.

If it was an ordinary army facing the charge of a Monarch’s corpse, they would’ve probably collapsed by now with all of their morale lost. But this Black Dragon Army could even suppress the Monarch when it was alive. Although they couldn’t exhibit their full strength in Mu Chen’s hands, the Monarch was also nothing but a corpse.

“Fight!” Jiang Long roared and the thousands from the Black Dragon Army also unleashed a holler. In the next moment, torrential Battle Will had turned into a boundless ocean, and as it rolled, it left a heavy burden in space as well.

Mu Chen first combined with the Black Dragon Army’s Battle Will. Sensing their boundless power, the ocean of Battle Will stretched out a dragon claw, covered in countless Battle Runes as it flew in the direction of the Monarch’s corpse.

The Monarch’s corpse roared and did not back down from it. It pushed out its palm in retaliation as its dried-up fist clashed with the dragon’s claw.

As the two clashed, it produced a huge sound, and the Monarch’s corpse was pushed back by the dragon’s claw. It was so much so that it even left cracks spreading out in space, looking to be on the verge of collapsing.

Mu Chen couldn’t help squinting his eyes at this scene. “The power of that corpse has really grown much stronger.”

Back in the Black Dragon Space, although that Monarch’s corpse wasn’t weak, it was still around the Pinnacle Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. But after being refined by Shi Tianyou, it’s slightly stronger than an ordinary Pinnacle Perfected Earth Sovereign expert now.

Although it was just slightly, it was still unrivaled amongst Perfected Earth Sovereigns.

“King Mu, that Shi Tianyou has used a secret art to trigger the remnant energy in that corpse. I’m afraid that just three thousand warriors isn’t enough to subdue it.” Jiang Long’s voice rang out by Mu Chen’s ears, enveloped with Spiritual Energy.

Clearly, he had also sensed that the Monarch’s corpse had grown stronger.

Mu Chen nodded his head as he smiled. “Since three thousand doesn’t work... then add another two thousand!”

Jiang Long was stunned as he quickly replied, “But with King Mu’s current strength, three thousand is your limit. Any more and you will suffer from the countercharge.”

Mu Chen gently smiled as the black and white Mu Chen appeared beside him. He could already control three thousand Black Dragon Army by himself but don’t forget the Three Pures.

With their help, controlling five thousand wouldn’t be an issue.

Mu Chen waved his hand and a light burst out from the Black Dragon Ring once more. In the next moment, another two thousand soldiers of the Black Dragon Army appeared.

When the numbers increased, it caused everyone’s expressions to change. It was so much so that even Mo Xin and Xuan Luo’s faces had turned ugly.

Although they were shocked by the three thousand Black Dragon Army from before, it wasn’t enough for them to feel fear. But with another two thousand, the scale of the Battle Will even made them feel terrified.

‘That bastard, where did he get such an elite army from?!’ Mo Xin’s heart was as deep as the ocean while he hollered in his heart. As the Young Master of the Ancient buddha Clan, he was clear the worth of such an elite army.

Xuan Luo’s face alternated between green and white as he coldly looked at Mu Chen’s silhouette. At this moment, he felt his cheeks burning. All this time, he had been looking down on Mu Chen. After all, he was the most outstanding amongst the younger generations of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and even Mo Xin could only barely manage to compete with him.

As for Mu Chen, he had been looking down on him and felt that as long as he made a move, he would surely be able to easily take Mu Chen down.

So, despite being calm, he was actually looking down on Mu Chen. But at this moment, he suddenly realised how laughable he had been.

That’s because the strength that he was proud of couldn’t even pose a threat to Mu Chen, and the strength that the latter had shown wasn’t any weaker than his own!

The contrast had caused Xuan Luo’s face to turn dark with coldness flickering in his eyes.

He had felt a significant threat coming from Mu Chen that was even greater than Mo Xin!

As Mo Xin and Xuan Luo’s hearts were rumbling, the five thousand Black Dragon Army gathered their Battle Will. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed and a terrifying pressure violently spread out that caused the faces of everyone there to turn solemn.

Standing above the army, the black and white Mu Chen had also stepped into the massive Battle Will, helping him share the burden of the Battle Will. As he felt the massive and powerful Battle Will, Mu Chen gently breathed out.

This degree of Battle Will should be his current limit, and with this, he would have the power to face that Monarch’s corpse.

Thus, he swept his gaze out and looked at Shi Tianyou’s face that had changed. A burst of faint laughter resounded, “Want to come and test it?”
