The Great Ruler

After everyone entered the emerald lake, Huang Jin’s robed fluttered as pillars soared into the sky, forming transparent mirrors that showed everyone who had entered the Deification Pool...

Outside the Deification Pool, everyone was looking at those mirrors. When one of them saw a Divine Beast of Peak Blood Essence, a commotion broke out with everyone enviously looking at it.

That was an excellent nourishment for every single Divine Beast. It usually cannot be found anywhere but the Deification Pool.

“Mhm?” As they anxiously looked at it, an uproar suddenly rang out, “Fang Jing found Mu Chen...”

Everyone instantly looked at that mirror and saw Mu Chen and Nine Nether facing Fang Jing of the Golden Phoenix Condor Clan.

“Heh, it looks like Fang Jing is determined to deal with Mu Chen to obtain the favor of Huang Xuanzhi...” Looking at Fang Jing, someone snickered.

“But that Mu Chen isn’t a pushover. Don’t underestimate his Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign cultivation,. He had relied on his own ability to defeat an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign in the Ancient Buddha Clan.”

“You’re looking down on Fang Jing. He’s an absolute talent of the Golden Phoenix Condor Clan and has been cultivating for over two hundred years. Although he might only be a Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, he’s stronger than humans, since he’s a Divine Beast. Some time ago, I even heard that Fang Jing fought with an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign human, and no matter how that human tried, he couldn’t do a thing to Fang Jing.”

“Really? Interesting. I’ve long heard the story of Mu Chen wreaking havoc in the Ancient Buddha Clan. Today, let me witness if that fellow is that capable.”

“Haha, it will be hilarious if he loses to Fang Jing. At that time, those Elders of the Ancient Buddha Clan will probably feel humiliated.”

All sorts of discussions resounded, but most of them just wanted to watch a show. Furthermore, they were standing on Fang Jing’s side, since they were Divine Beasts themselves. They also wanted to let those in the Great Thousand World know the gap between humans and Divine Beasts like them.

...

“Your ten breaths are up, and you’re not going to scram?” Fang Jing’s hands were tugged together as he ferociously stared at Mu Chen.

“Utter fool.” Mu Chen glanced at him and spatted out two words before he ignored Fang Jing. Opening his mouth, purple flames swept out and enveloped towards the roc that was going to escape.

When the purple flames appeared, they had instantly caused the surrounding water to evaporate from the high temperature.

“You’re courting death!” Seeing that Mu Chen had ignored him, Fang Jing was furious, before he stretched his hand out. A radiating golden light burst out before a golden claw flew towards that roc.

Mu Chen coldly looked at this and he flicked his finger. The purple flames that were aimed at the roc instantly turned around and transformed into a flaming dragon that pounced towards the golden claw.

As the purple flames spread out, the golden claw swiftly melted. In a few breaths, it had entirely disappeared.

“What?!” Fang Jing narrowed his eyes at this scene. He never expected that Mu Chen’s purple flames would be so terrifying.

After melting the golden claw, Mu Chen waved his hand and the purple flames enveloped the roc once again, causing the latter to boil. Ten-odd breaths later, it had been turned into a head-sized Peak Blood Essence that flew towards Mu Chen, which the latter threw it towards Nine Nether. “Devour it first.”

When Nine Nether received the Peak Blood Essence, she glanced at Fang Jing with concern in her eyes.

“Don’t worry. He’s not qualified to take it from you.” Mu Chen smiled.

Nine Nether was entirely relieved after hearing Mu Chen’s words. She sat down with her hands grasping the Peak Blood Essence between her palms.

As she circulated Spiritual Energy, the Peak Blood Essence turned into a crimson aura that entered Nine Nether through her nose.

As the dense blood aura entered her body, spiritual light surged behind Nine Nether and the black on the egg grew deeper.

While Nine Nether was devouring the Peak Blood Essence, Mu Chen stood before her and looked at Fang Jing, whose face was pale.

“You’re courting death!” Fang Jing roared with killing intent. He never expected that Mu Chen would ignore his existence and snatched the Peak Blood Essence before getting Nine Nether to refine it before his eyes.

“Choose another option if you want to curry favor with your master. Don’t embarrass yourself here.” Mu Chen casually said as he glanced at Fang Jing.

“Haha!” Fang Jing felt his lungs exploding from the rage as he roared with laughter. In the next moment, boundless golden light abruptly exploded from his body and formed into a massive golden bird.

That bird was extremely peculiar. It was covered in the feathers of a phoenix while having the head of a condor that emanated a cold light in its eyes.

This was Fang Jing’s real body, the Golden Phoenix Condor. It possessed both the bloodline of the Phoenix and Condor Clans.

Evidently, he had risen the intention to kill and brought his real body out from the start.

“Brat, I will tear you into pieces together with her and throw your corpse in this Deification Pool!” That Golden Phoenix Condor’s sharp voice echoed as it flapped its wings and brought forth a storm.

“I’m afraid that you’re not capable of that.” Mu Chen sneered.

But this time, the Golden Phoenix Condor did not talk, but flapped its wings. Boundless golden light instantly exploded with countless golden feathers exploding within a few myriad feet of the radius.

Every single feather was condensed with Spiritual Energy with a sharpness that could even destroy a Spirit Rank Peerless Saint Artifact.

When the golden feathers enveloped down, a purplish-golden light exploded from Mu Chen’s body. He brought out the Immortal Golden Body with an immortal luster that formed into a barrier.

When the golden feathers clashed against the barrier, they all rebounded and couldn’t pierce through.

Fang Jing immediately stopped after seeing that his attack was futile with a cold light flickering in his eyes. He raised his wings that seemed like they were made of golden metal that could tear space apart.

Traces of sharpness permeated that would make even an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign not dare to underestimate it.

“Fang Jing is actually going to use his innate Divine Ability...” The spectators watching this confrontation squinted their eyes as they commented.

Most Supreme Divine Beasts possessed an innate Divine Ability with terrifying might. This was also the reason why Supreme Divine Beasts could sweep through most humans on the same level as them.

“Brat, you can be honored to die by my innate Divine Ability!” The Golden Phoenix Condor issued a sharp cry as a golden light started to spread on his wings that seemed like mercury before he slashed down.

“Innate Divine Ability - God-Killing Wings!” When the golden wings slashed down, they were akin to a golden brilliance that tore the heavens and earth apart, even the ocean water before it was being sliced.

That golden light seemed like it could break through anything with unrivaled sharpness.

When the golden light descended from the sky, Mu Chen raised his head with his eyes squinted before he formed seals with his hands.

Purplish-golden light burst out from the Immortal Golden Body and the Divine Immortal Runes that were formed coiled around it like a massive dragon.

In just a few breaths, the number of Divine Immortal Runes had reached a stunning 700!

With his current strength, he had reached completion in his Immortal Golden Body. Thus, the Divine Immortal Runes he could create had also increased.

As the 700 Divine Immortal Runes circled, they suddenly combined together with a flick of Mu Chen’s finger.

Purplish-golden light exploded as if there was a purplish-golden blade that was shrouded in the aura of immortality.

Looking at that descending golden light, Mu Chen faintly smiled. “You have your God-Killing Wings, but I have my Phoenix-Slaughtering Blade.”

When he finished his words, the purplish-golden blade soared into the sky and executed a slash. The heavens and earth suddenly turned dark with a purplish-golden light that streaked at a terrifying speed and clashed with that golden light.

The water in a few myriad feet was pushed out, forming into a massive void...

Everyone outside the Deification Pool nervously looked at the mirror. They had no idea who held the advantage in that confrontation.

As the ocean water gradually restored, the light gradually dissipated and the Golden Phoenix Condor appeared, which caused everyone’s eyes to squint. They could see a deep blood mark on one of the Golden Phoenix Condor’s wings, causing the surrounding feathers to crack...

“How is this possible?!” They couldn’t help exclaiming out.

“How is that possible?!” A similar sentence came from Fang Jing as he looked at the wound on his wing in disbelief. If his God-Killing Wings did not negate most of the power on the blade, his wing would probably be sliced off right now.

One must know that he’s a Supreme Divine Beast, and his body was akin to a Spirit Rank Peerless Saint Artifact!

“Truly worthy of the reputation as a Supreme Divine Beast. Your skin is pretty tough.”

While Fang Jing was shocked, Mu Chen locked his brows together. He thought that he could deal with it in a move. However, he never expected that he would fail to chop off Fang Jing’s wing.

“You! You just wait! I will certainly repay the feud for my wing!” Fang Jing was briefly shocked while looking at Mu Chen with hatred before he immediately escaped with a flap of his wings.

He had discovered from their confrontation that Mu Chen might be a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, but his fighting capability was stronger than Supreme Divine Beasts like him.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he knew that he would fall in Mu Chen’s hand if he continued to stay.

Mu Chen indifferently looked at Fang Jing before he sneered, “You think that you can come and go as you wish? How will it be that easy?”

“Haha, what can you do to me? Even if I can’t beat you, you can’t catch me!” A burst of ear-piercing laughter resounded. After all, he’s a flying Divine Beast, and speed was his forté. So if he intended to escape, even Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns could only eat his dust.

“Really?” Mu Chen ridiculed.

Fang Jing’s heart trembled while he was feeling uneasy before he frantically flapped his wings intending to escape.

But just when he flew out, he suddenly felt that the space in his surroundings freeze before a massive shadow descended from the sky...

With shock in his eyes, Fang Jing saw an enormous pagoda descending from the sky.

Instantly, his vision had also turned dark.
