The Great Ruler

When that voice resounded, a commotion broke out throughout the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with everyone looking at that silhouette in shock.

‘Mu Chen?!’

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and the rest had widened their eyes in disbelief. They never expected that Mu Chen would appear here after his absence for so many years.

Furthermore, they were shocked that he actually managed to resolve the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s attack so easily. One must know that not even a Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign could easily achieve that.

Evidently, Mu Chen’s strength has grown once again after so many years.

“Big Brother Mu Chen...” Sun’er was dumbfounded as she looked at that silhouette before her face turned red with excitement. She turned around and laughed as she declared to the members of the Goddess Luo Association, “See that?! That’s the other founder of our Goddess Luo Association, Senior Brother Mu Chen!”

“He’s... he’s powerful!” Everyone cried out. They could sense that when that figure appeared in the sky, he alone has resisted the terrifying pressure coming from the Black Corpse Sky Monarch.

That also meant that Senior Brother Mu Chen’s strength has reached a terrifying degree.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be afraid! Since Senior Brother Mu Chen is here, then that demon won’t be able to touch our academy anymore! Senior Brother Mu Chen will definitely teach him a lesson!”

When many students heard Sun’er’s confidence for Mu Chen, they couldn’t help shaking their heads and wanted bitterly to smile. ‘Can you not treat the Black Corpse Sky Monarch as weak? That’s a pinnacle powerhouse of the Fiend Clans, and even in their Great Thousand World, who would dare to treat him lightly aside from the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor?’

But no matter what, the fear that enveloped the academy has become faint upon Mu Chen’s appearance.

“Mu Chen?” Luo Li was also stunned as she looked at the slender silhouette with disbelief.

After all, even she never received any news from Mu Chen for the past few years while he was in secluded cultivation.

Hearing Luo Li’s words, the spiritual radiance retracted and a silhouette turned around, revealing a familiar countenance.

“I rushed over the moment I received the news, and fortunately, I wasn’t late.” Mu Chen smiled.

Looking at that familiar face, Luo Li’s tensed up shoulders finally fell as she went weak.

Evidently, she had given all her strength to face the Black Corpse Sky Monarch from before.

A hand stretched out and held onto her waist. Mu Chen looked at her exhausted face with heartache. “I’m sorry to leave you alone for so many years.”

With a gentle smile, Luo Li replied, “Didn’t you go into seclusion for us? I’m not an unreasonable person.”

The reason why Mu Chen chose seclusion was for the entire Great Thousand World, and at the same time, for her as well.

“Alright, leave the rest to me now.” Mu Chen gently caressed Luo Li’s face.

Luo Li’s face turned red by his intimate action. She gently pushed him away before she drifted away with a chuckled, “You’re not allowed to take advantage of me, at least until you deal with that guy.”

Looking at her silhouette, Mu Chen rubbed his fingers together while reminiscing about the lingering touch.

“If you’re done with your farewell, then come and receive your death!” A voice filled with killing intent resounded while Mu Chen was reminiscing.

When Mu Chen turned around, he saw the Black Corpse Sky Monarch coldly looking over with killing intent permeating from the latter’s body.

“Black Corpse Sky Monarch, it has been a while.” Mu Chen smiled.

Back then, he was pursued by the Black Corpse Sky Monarch when he just broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. But fortunately, the Martial Ancestor came to the rescue back then.

“Someone saved you that other time, so you can only dream on that this time.” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s eerie voice resounded. “You killed my son, so today, I will erase everyone around you!”

Within the academy, many people couldn’t help the change in their expression from the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s killing intent. They were surprised that he had a grudge with Mu Chen in the past from killing his son.

Facing the sinister gaze of the Black Corpse Sky Monarch, Mu Chen gently smiled. “I think you should consider how to protect yourself now.”

“Haha, you reckless thing!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch ridiculed as he looked at Mu Chen. “Did you think that by reaching the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, you’re qualified to fight with me?!”

When he finished speaking, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s face turned sinister. A boundless deathly aura converged into a black demonic banner.

“Corpse Demon Banner!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch roared as the banner waved with millions of corpses flying out before they gathered together to form a death river.

Within the river, there were millions of howling corpses.

“Corpse Demon Nether River!”

The river roared, looking akin to a huge dragon that swept in the direction of Mu Chen. In the path of the river, space collapsed with such a deathly aura that even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign wouldn’t dare to touch it, since it could even corrode their Spiritual Energy.

When the river enveloped over, Mu Chen raised his head without any fluctuation on his face. Stretching his finger out, he gently tapped. “Primordial Immortal River!”

An ancient river flew out from Mu Chen’s finger as if it had experienced the endless flow of time.

It was as if anything that fell within it would be corroded.

When the two rivers clashed in the sky, space steadily collapsed from their confrontation.

When the crash occurred, the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s face changed. He could sense that no matter how his nether river tried to corrode it, that ancient river wouldn’t budge. On the other hand, his nether river was the one that started to collapse and the corpses within it were being corroded.

A violent shock wave exploded and the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s nether river collapsed roughly ten-odd breaths later.

“Damn it!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch couldn’t maintain his composure anymore as he stood up from his throne and coldly looked at Mu Chen. His eyes were flickering with surprise. Mu Chen was too powerful.

Furthermore, he could feel a dangerous aura coming from the latter for some reason. It was something that he only felt from two people in the Great Thousand World — the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.

‘Can it be that Mu Chen has actually reached those two’s levels in just five years?!’

“How is this possible?!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s heart trembled before a ruthless light flickered within his eyes. It seems that if he wanted to test the level of this fellow, he had to resort to his ultimate move.

“I’ll see how long can you act!

“Sky Corpse Demonic Asura!” The Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s hands came together and a torrential demonic aura gushed out before gradually forming into an enormous demonic asura behind him.

That demonic asura was permeating with a deathly aura and had countless sinister faces on its body with shrieks that resounded throughout the sky. Just the voices alone could cause the rampage of Spiritual Energy in the body.

As a terrifying demonic pressure spread out, the entire Northern Heavens Continent trembled.

Many people wore pale expressions within the academy as they looked at that demonic asura. They did not doubt that the power of this asura could even tear this continent apart.

That terrifying power was something that even sent fear into the hearts of Luo Li, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jing.

The Black Corpse Sky Monarch looked at Mu Chen as he rose into the sky and fused with the Sky Corpse Demonic Asura.

As the asura’s eyes opened, a demonic beam radiated, looking like it could tear the entire world apart. The beam resounded along with boundless killing intent. “Mu Chen, you will pay with your life for my son’s death! Today, you will die!”

Facing the Black Corpse Sky Monarch’s roar, Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the demonic asura with a smile that seemed to be filled with disdain.

“Is this your strongest power?” He muttered as he took a step forth. “If that’s the case, then you can die now...”
