The Great Ruler

When the ancient beam descended, powerful spiritual energy swept out that caused everyone outside the city to cover their faces with astonishment.

“The... Ancient Spirit Clan is actually here as well!”

“Tsk tsk, four out of the Five Ancient Clans. This spectacle is truly hard to come by...”

“That Mu Chen’s resources are terrifying. Not only the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, but he also has connections with the Ancient Spirit Clan...”

“Yeah. It’s all due to the two supreme powerhouses being unable to leave the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm. Otherwise, the Ancient Maha Clan would be in a difficult position right now.”

“......”

Hearing the discussions, the countenances of the Ancient Maha Clan’s Elders went pale. Even Maha Tian’s eyes sank, since the appearance of the Ancient Spirit Clan has ruined his plans.

However, he was baffled. The Ancient Spirit Clan didn’t have any connection with the Ancient Buddha Clan, so why were they willing to take the risk and interfere in this matter?

“So it’s the Great Underworld Ancestor. Forgive me for not receiving you.” However, Maha Tian was still the Patriarch. Thus, he soon recovered from the shock.

When the pillar dissipated, two silhouettes appeared within everyone’s view.

One of them was an old man, but his skin was as smooth as a baby with an amicable smile hanging on his lips. His pupils were filled with both wisdom and mystery.

Maha Tian wasn’t unfamiliar with this old man, he’s the Grand Elder of the Ancient Spirit Clan, the Great Underworld Ancestor.

Everyone’s gazes briefly paused on the Great Underworld Ancestor before a silhouette attracted their gazes.

That silhouette had long silvery hair draped down with a black dress that was engraved with stars and flickering with a violet radiance on her skirt.

She had an outstanding appearance with her skin glistening with a faint radiance. Her lips were slightly raised, looking a little playful. What attracted them the most were her pupils. They were like glistening glass. They were pure, as if they could see through the thoughts of others. When everyone looked into her eyes, they were all intoxicated by them.

Her fair and elegant neck made her exquisite body and tight waist even more eye-catching. It was a golden proportion that seemed like the miracle of creators...

This was a woman that possessed a spiritual air around her.

When everyone looked at that woman, they were greatly stunned.

“Haha, you’re too kind. Please don’t blame me for coming without prior notification.” The Great Underworld Ancestor smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Letting out a sigh, Maha Tian asked, “I’m afraid that our clans don’t have any enmity, right? Why are you interfering in our matters?”

Facing the question of Maha Tian, Great Underworld Ancestor sighed with sorrow on his face and pointed to the lady beside him. “Don’t blame me about that. This lass was anxious to save her lover, so I was forced to make an appearance...”

Squinting his eyes, Maha Tian shifted his gaze. “May I ask who you are?”

“My name is Luo Li, and thanks to the Elders of the Ancient Spirit Clan, I’m now the Holy Maiden of the clan.” The lady beside the Great Underworld Ancestor smiled, facing Maha Tian’s words. Her voice was ethereal, without any hints of yielding.

“The Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan?” Maha Tian locked his brows together. There wasn’t any Patriarch in the Ancient Spirit Clan, only Holy Maidens. Anyone who becomes the Holy Maiden would be equivalent to the Matriarch of the Ancient Spirit Clan and have high authority.

However, the Ancient Spirit Clan had a strict process of selecting their Holy Maiden. It was a position that has been empty for so long, but this lady stood out amongst the candidates and became the Holy Maiden?

“Since you’re the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan, then you should view the Ancient Spirit Clan more important than anything. If you interfere in this matter, I will bring troubles to the Ancient Spirit Clan.” Maha Tian spoke with a trace of threat in his voice.

But facing his words, Luo Li smiled with yearning and affection in her eyes as she looked at that youthful silhouette. “I became the Holy Maiden for him... If I can’t help him, why would I become the Holy Maiden, then?”

Her words instantly caused countless sighs as they looked at Mu Chen with hostility in their eyes.

Not only was that fellow blessed with opportunities, he even had such an outstanding girl beside him. For him, she could even face the Maha Tian. That fortune was truly envious.

“Lass, can’t you care a little for this old man’s fragile heart...?” The Great Underworld Ancestor grumbled.

When Luo Li heard those words, she was somewhat sorry and replied, “Didn’t you already know about it, Grand Elder”?

The Great Underworld Ancestor sighed before he unhappily looked at Mu Chen. If it wasn’t for that fellow, Luo Li would be able to focus on being the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan.

“What’s the relationship of this Holy Maiden and Mu Chen?” Futu Xuan was also shocked by those words.

Looking at Luo Li, Qing Yanjing’s eyes were filled with satisfaction. She had once met Luo Li in the Northern Heavens Continent, so her impression of Luo Li was deep. This was a girl with outstanding talent and a firm character.

“My daughter-in-law.” Qing Yanjing smiled as she looked at Futu Xuan with pride.

Her son was competent. Not only did he find himself such a gorgeous wife, but she was also the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan.

Futu Xuan was briefly stunned before he sighed, “That brat is truly capable. He even managed to con the hands of Ancient Spirit Clan’s Holy Maiden.”

Facing those voices, Maha Tian’s face sank as he coldly looked at Luo Li and the Great Underworld Ancestor. “It looks like you guys are insisting on interfering. But one Saint Heavenly Sovereign changes nothing.”

Only the Great Underworld Ancestor was a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Although Luo Li’s cultivation has soared and stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, she was only a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.

However, the Great Underworld Ancestor pridefully smiled. “You’re underestimating the Holy Maiden of my Ancient Spirit Clan.”

Luo Li winked then formed seals.

An ancient radiance rose up from Luo Li’s head and everyone was shocked to see an ancient diagram unfolding above her.

The pressure that emanating from it was comparable to a Saint Heavenly Sovereign!

Looking at the diagram, Maha Tian’s face turned unsightly. It was so much so that even Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan had astonishment in their eyes.

“That’s... the treasure of the Ancient Spirit Clan, the Ancient Spirit Diagram?!” Exclamations resounded from their mouths and their hearts were equally shocked.

Before every Saint Heavenly Sovereign in the Ancient Spirit Clan dies, they would seal their Spiritual Energy into the diagram, creating the terrifying power.

Just the power of it alone was comparable to a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.

The only flaw was the strict requirement for it in the Ancient Spirit Clan, and it hasn’t chosen more than three owners.

It was also because of that; they were shocked to see Luo Li gaining control over it.

At this moment, they finally figured out the reason why the Great Underworld Ancestor held such importance to Luo Li... To be able to command the Ancient Spirit Diagram, even as a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, not even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign could do a thing to her.

Looking at Luo Li, Mu Chen was happy and felt heartache for her since he knew how many difficulties she had to face.

Sensing Mu Chen’s gaze, Luo Li turned over and playfully winked her eyes, as if she was telling him that she was catching up to his steps...

Looking at her smile, Mu Chen also couldn’t help smiling. He felt courage buffing in his chest as he looked at Maha Tian with his sharp gaze. In the next moment, his voice that contained dense fighting intent resounded.

“Maha Tian, make a move yourself if you want the Primordial Immortal Body. Today I, Mu Chen, will see formidability of the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan!”

His laughter resounded, causing everyone to be shocked.

‘Mu Chen actually challenged Maha Tian?!’
