The Great Ruler

When that bronze disk appeared, the will of the Pagoda Ancestor exclaimed in joy while being surprised. Mu Chen smiled. He had guessed correctly, that disk really turned out to be a fragment of the Demon Sealing Mirror.

That meant that the sensation he felt belonged to the Pagoda Ancestor, since only such an aura could cause the pagoda in his body to be uneasy.

“Haha, looks like you’re really fated to this old man.” Pagoda Ancestor sighed. If Mu Chen hadn’t obtained this Demon Sealing Mirror’s fragment, he might really not be able to do a thing to this soul fragment of the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.

“Senior, can the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s soul be suppressed now?” Mu Chen asked.

“Yes!” The Pagoda Ancestor said without any hesitation. Although the Demon Sealing Mirror was damaged, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch wasn’t at even 1/10 of his full strength.

Along with the Pagoda Ancestor’s voice, the bronze disk shot out and merged with the Demon Sealing Mirror. The damaged portion was slowly recovering.

With the Demon Sealing Mirror restored, halos emanated from the mirror before descending onto the massive diagram down below.

At the same time, chains flew out from the diagram and shrouded the limbs of the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.

Those chains were flickering with ancient runes and seemed to have a special effect in suppressing demonic aura. The moment it shrouded the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch, the dense demonic aura around his body had thinned down.

The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s face changed while trying to struggle. But this time, those chains couldn’t budge...

“Demon Sealing Diagram, Seal!” Along with the Pagoda Ancestor’s voice, the chains retracted. While the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch roared with unwillingness. he was slowly pulled into the diagram.

The Demon Sealing Diagram hovered high in the sky and constantly wriggled with black silhouettes that looked sinister, enveloped with a demonic aura that appeared on it.

“Damn you!” The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s roar swept out from the diagram. He never expected his freedom to be so brief before he was sealed into the Demon Sealing Diagram by the Pagoda Ancestor.

“Don’t be too complacent, with one of the layers in the Four Saint Pagoda destroyed. I will be free once two more shatters!”

Looking at the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch sealed in the Demon Sealing Diagram, Mu Chen asked, “Senior, can’t we kill him?”

The Pagoda Ancestor only managed to re-seal the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch, and if anything happened, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch would be free again.

The Pagoda Ancestor sighed upon hearing him. “The life force of the Fiend Clans is extremely tenacious. Furthermore, their demonic souls are extremely refined. It isn’t something that our Great Thousand World could be compared to. If we want to destroy their souls, we will need a strong force. Therefore, most of us have chosen the seal them and annihilate their souls through the erosion of time.”

Only then, did Mu Chen realise why he had encountered so many Monarchs being sealed. Although it was less hassle, it was a little unsafe.

“The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s soul is weakened after being sealed for such a long time. It can be said that this is his weakest moment, but it’s a pity that this old man has exhausted too much energy. I can’t kill him.” Pagoda Ancestor said with a little pity.

“Not even with the help of the Demon Sealing Mirror?” Mu Chen looked at the Demon Sealing Mirror in the sky. He could sense that this was definitely a Peerless Saint Artifact.

Pagoda Ancestor shook his head. “The Demon Sealing Mirror has also been greatly exhausted after it has helped me to seal the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch for such a long time.”

After speaking, he briefly paused before he continued, “But if there’s a help of an Immortal Peerless Saint Artifact, it will be more than enough for me to kill this Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.”

“Immortal Peerless Saint Artifact?” Mu Chen was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of the differentiation amongst Peerless Saint Artifacts.

“The Peerless Saint Artifact is something belonging to a Heavenly Sovereign, and it’s not strange that you don’t know about it. They’re similar to Heavenly Sovereigns, separated into Spiritual, Immortal, and Saint Grades.” The Pagoda Ancestor smiled.

Mu Chen nodded his head before he fell into thoughts. If it was the Peerless Saint Artifact, then he did have one with him, except it had been dramatically exhausted.

But at this moment, he could only give it a try.

Thus, he grasped his hand and a light condensed within before forming into an ancient and crystallised longsword, flickering with a crystallised lustre that emanated an extraordinary might.

“Mhm?” When the sword appeared, the will of the Pagoda Ancestor exclaimed before his shocked voice resounded, “This is... the Heavenly Emperor’s Heavenly Emperor Sword?!”

“Senior, you recognise this?” Mu Chen was also a little astonished.

“How can I not? I’ve met the Heavenly Emperor once, but I never expected that his sword would be in your hands.” The Pagoda Ancestor said in shock.

“This Junior was fortunate enough to obtain Senior Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance.” Mu Chen explained.

“Haha, that fellow’s eyesight isn’t bad. The descendant of my Ancient Pagoda Clan is naturally worthy of his inheritance.” The Pagoda Ancestor smiled with pride contained in his voice.

“Senior, there’s not much power left in the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Is it useful?”

“It is useful!” The Pagoda Ancestor smiled, “The Heavenly Emperor Sword is extremely overbearing, a Saint Artifact meant for slaughtering demons. Although the energy within is almost exhausted, I can still unleash some of its might. It’s more than enough to deal with the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch.”

Mu Chen felt greatly relieved upon hearing those words.

Controlling Mu Chen’s body, the Pagoda Ancestor held onto the Heavenly Emperor Sword and smiled towards the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch. “I’ll see how long you can last.”

“Haha, old goat, you can’t do anything to this Monarch with your current state!” The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch sinisterly smile before his face froze when a sword lustre abruptly burst out from the Pagoda Ancestor’s hand.

It felt extremely dangerous. It wasn’t any weaker than the Demon Sealing Mirror!

“After being with you for tens of thousands of years, I can’t say how delighted I am to be able to slaughter you.” Pagoda Ancestor smiled before he waved his hand and the Heavenly Emperor Sword shot out.

Boundless sword light wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth.

The Heavenly Emperor Sword turned into a deep sword light and shuttles through space at an unimaginable speed.

Feeling death in the Demon Sealing Diagram, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch frantically roared while trying to struggle with a torrential demonic aura surging in an attempt to break free.

But the Demon Sealing Mirror unleashed countless lights from it, enveloping the Demon Sealing Diagram, strengthening it. No matter how the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch tried to struggle, it couldn’t break free.

It was also at this moment that space shattered and a strand of sword light flew out. It was this unremarkable beam that made the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s roar to be tainted with fear.

“Disappear completely!” The Pagoda Ancestor’s voice was filled with coldness as the sword shot out and pierced through the struggling figure in the Demon Sealing Diagram.

An ear-piercing roar resounded and a torrential demonic smoke flew out. Being sealed by the Demon Sealing Diagram, the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s figure was like a punctured ball as it shrunk with his aura swiftly weakening.

The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing the experts of the Fiend Clans to have their faces turn pale as they started to flee.

The Blood Vampire Sky Monarch was going to be killed, and they had already lost their chance.

At this moment, the experts of the Great Thousand World continued to pursue them, ruthlessly obstructing the path of those Fiend Clans’ experts.

Seeing the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch’s aura swiftly disappearing on the altar, Mu Chen’s heart trembled. “Senior, is the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch done for?”

“Yeah, I’ve finally got rid of him this time.” The Pagoda Ancestor felt heavily relieved.

After a brief pondering, Mu Chen took out the Demon Slayer Token of the Great Thousand World. “Senior, can I take a strand of his soul?”

According to the rules of the Great Thousand World, he would be able to obtain Demon Slayer Points and raise his rank by killing members of the Fiend Clans.

Furthermore, killing a Sky Monarch would grant him 10,000 Demon Slayer Points and promote him to the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace!

Although he didn’t kill the Blood Vampire Sky Monarch, he had also made contributions. Therefore, he wished to see if he could obtain the Demon Slayer Points.

“Mhm? The Demon Slayer Token?” Seeing the Demon Slayer Token that Mu Chen had taken out, the Pagoda Ancestor was briefly stunned before he couldn’t hold back his laughter, “Brat, your thoughts are quite big. Haha, but that’s fine. Having a Greater Earth Sovereign as a Demon Slayer King, haha! Interesting, I wonder how the faces of those in the Great Thousand Palace would be like after knowing about it!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a strand of black mist flew out from the Demon Sealing Diagram and entered the Demon Slayer Token.

The Demon Slayer Token flickered as a strand of black mist was sucked into it.

Mu Chen and the Pagoda Ancestor stared at the Demon Slayer Token, and under their looks, the Demon Slayer Token briefly remained silent before it suddenly trembled and a golden beam flew out, circulating over the Demon Slayer Token.

At the bottom of the token, the Low Rank Demon Slayer had disappeared, replaced with three dazzling golden words with a dignified air. “Demon Slayer King!”

Mu Chen stared at those three golden words and his mouth couldn’t help widening. He only intended to give it a try, and it really succeeded?!
