The Great Ruler

Chapter 952 - Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid

Buzz! Buzz!

The metal triangle, which was emitting an ancient lustre, hovered above the palm of the Fourth Palace Master and slowly revolved. As it moved, it was emitting a peculiar buzzing noise.

Ancient light runes quietly appeared on the surface of it, like a three branching out with dense leaves.

Mandala and the rest had shock looks in their eyes as they watched this commotion. At this moment, they could vaguely feel a powerful energy penetrating through space and it was swiftly descending onto this place.

“This energy...”

The face of the Divine Pavilion Master slightly changed and, in the next instant, he had abruptly raised his head and looked at the sky with a dark expression. The sky, which should’ve been pitch-black, startled to ripple at this moment. He suddenly squinted his eyes, witnessing a massive object slowly descending onto this region through space.

This object was so massive that it couldn’t be entirely seen. It slowly descended with a terrifying might enveloping everything, causing the Earth Sovereigns experts’ eyes to be filled with shock.

Mu Chen and the rest had also raised their heads at the same time to look at the descending massive object with shock in their eyes and muttered after a brief moment, “It’s actually a dark-golden pyramid...”

The colossal object that appeared before them was the massive dark-golden pyramid that they had seen after stepping into the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury!

“That thing can actually summon the dark-golden pyramid?!” Mu Chen couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath. Only now did he have a realisation. Wasn’t the black metal triangle a miniature version of the dark-golden pyramid?

At this moment, along with the appearance of the black-golden pyramid, the surface of the pyramid started to flicker with golden light. Those lights were like stars, before the light rays started to spread out and interlinked together like golden chains that enveloped the surface of the dark-golden pyramid, which made it look immovable.

At this moment, how could they not tell that the dark-golden pyramid was actually a powerful artifact, which they had not actually realised when they entered the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury.

“I never thought that this dark-golden pyramid was actually a Saint Artifact...”

Mandala’s face turned extremely grave as she shook her head with regret. “It’s because the Fourth Palace Master had it well-hidden to the point that I couldn’t discover it.”

“Saint Artifact?!”

When Mu Chen heard her words, his heart trembled. Divine Artifacts weren’t the most powerful batch of items in the Great Thousand World as there were the Saint Artifacts above them. It’s just that the Saint Artifacts were too rare and powerful. They would even cause Earth Sovereigns to be filled with greed.

It’s just that after so many years, Mu Chen had not truly seen a Saint Artifact before. After all, such an item of that level was a little too out of reach with his current strength.

Naturally, he wasn’t the only one. Even their Great Havenlaw Domain did not have a genuine Saint Artifact for their force. But right now, this dark-golden pyramid was actually a genuine Saint Artifact, so how could Mu Chen not be shocked in his heart?

“This should be a Lesser Saint Artifact. According to my knowledge, there are eight Saint Artifacts in the Ancient Haven Palace, with one known as the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid. If I have not guessed incorrectly, this should be it.” Mandala sighed.

“Eight Saint Artifacts...”

Mu Chen sucked in another cold breath. The Ancient Haven Palace was truly formidable to even have eight powerful Saint Artifacts. Thus, one could see how powerful the Ancient Haven Palace was when it was still in existence. So who knows how many times stronger, when compared to their Great Havenlaw Domain.

“If I had a Saint Artifact, I could even confront the Divine Pavilion Master.” Mandala helplessly smiled.

“Even if our Great Havenlaw Domain does the best we can, we can’t even get a Saint Artifact?” Mandala was a little shocked as he asked. If a Saint Artifact was so powerful, then they should have some confidence in obtaining one with all the strength of their Great Havenlaw Domain, right?

“According to my estimations, the price for a single Saint Artifact is at least Ten Million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids...” Mandala said.

“Ten... ten million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids?”

Mu Chen was dumbfounded with disbelief written all over his face. Back then, in the Merchant Continent, the Nine Dragons and Elephants Art, which was comparable to a Perfect Rank Divine Art, was only auctioned for myriads of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. The income of their Nine Nether Palace of this year was only a few myriads of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids. But right now, the price of a Saint Artifact had actually exceeded ten million?

With such a high price, even if their Great Havenlaw Domain was squeezed dry, it was hard to even gather ten million Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.

“There’s nothing to be astonished about. It’s too hard and too time consuming to refine a Saint Artifact. Even after a few hundred or thousands of years, one might not be refined.”

Mandala was extremely calm regarding this as she continued, “The power of a Saint Artifact could be considered as a destructive force that could change the outcome of a battle between Earth Sovereigns.”

“Furthermore, in the Great Thousand World, one of the standards for measuring a heavyweight peak force is to see if there’s a Saint Artifact. So, speaking from a certain degree, the Northern Region of our Skylaw Continent is nothing much.”

Mu Chen was speechless as he bitterly smiled. He had also witnessed the level between Earth Sovereigns, and if a Saint Artifact could make up for the gap, then it’s terrifying price was understandable.

It was no wonder why that, even though their Great Havenlaw Domain was a peak force in the Northern Region, they couldn’t take out a Saint Artifact.

As Mu Chen and Mandala conversed, the experts in this region had also discovered the origin of the dark-golden pyramid and the eyes of the Earth Sovereigns couldn’t help turning red.

If the dark-golden pyramid wasn’t under the control of the Fourth Palace Master, they might not have been able to hold themselves back and go up to snatch it.

“I never expected that the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid of the Ancient Haven Palace would be in the hands of the Fourth Palace Master... rumours have it that this artifact could suppress and defend. This time, the Divine Pavilion Master is doomed with misfortune.”

The Earth Sovereigns exchanged a glance and felt slightly relieved. They finally understood why the Fourth Palace Master was so confident, to even be filled with contempt when he was facing the Divine Pavilion Master, who was a Greater Earth Sovereign at this moment. Indeed, if the Fourth Palace Master could borrow the power of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, then the Divine Pavilion Master definitely wouldn’t be able to escape from death!

While the Earth Sovereigns conversed with their intent, the Divine Pavilion Master, who was in the torrential aura, had become extremely unsightly. His gaze was fixed onto the dark-golden pyramid that had penetrated through space and he felt some fearful fluctuations coming from it.

Furthermore, the power of the Skyeater Evil Emperor, which he had previously absorbed, started surging with the power seemingly fearful of the dark-golden pyramid. That’s because, long ago in the ancient times, the Skyeater Evil Emperor was suppressed by this Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid till he gradually disappeared...

“The Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid...”

The eyes of the Divine Pavilion Master changed, then he suddenly stomped in the space. The space fluctuated and a torrential black aura swept out, which turned into a myriad-foot long black python that shattered through space and pounced towards the Fourth Palace Master.

At this crucial moment, he had chosen to make the first move to gain the initiative in the fight.

However, facing the shocking attack of the Divine Pavilion Master, the Fourth Palace Master had remained calm as his seals changed. A thin black beam of light descended then hung before the Fourth Palace Master. A light screen appeared with stars interlinking together, like a starry map.

The origin of the black light was the dark-golden pyramid.

Boom!

The massive black python heavily slammed against the black screen. Ripples fluctuated on the thin black screen but there weren’t any signs of it shattering.

Such a defensive power caused the corners of the lips of the Earth Sovereigns to uncontrollably twitch.

Judging from a normal point-of-view, the Fourth Palace Master could, at the very best, fight on the same level as the Divine Pavilion Master. But with the help of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, the latter actually couldn’t penetrate through the defence.

The defensive ability of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid was truly astonishing.

The Divine Pavilion Master watched this scene and his face became even darker. His gaze flickered and, in the next moment, he slapped at the space behind him. The space behind him had quickly shattered and his body moved, hiding within the spatial crack.

“He’s escaping!”

When Mandala and the rest saw this scene, their gazes instantly squinted. The Divine Pavilion Master was actually so decisive, seeing that he could not do a thing to the Fourth Palace Master, he had quickly chosen to flee.

But if the Divine Pavilion Master successfully escaped, then he would definitely be a great threat.

But just when Mandala and the rest had ugly expressions and wanted to obstruct the Divine Pavilion Master, the Fourth Palace Master faintly smiled, then waved his hand. The Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid had suddenly pressed down, casting shadows down that instantly enveloped this entire region.

The Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid had enveloped the region the Divine Pavilion Master used to escape and innumerable starlights spread out, piercing through space and, after a few moments, the starlight had retracted. When the starlight retracted, it had pulled out a pathetic-looking silhouette.

That silhouette was naturally the Divine Pavilion Master that had attempted to escape!

“Since you have absorbed the power of the Skyeater Evil Emperor, then you can stay here.”

The Fourth Palace Master’s indifferent voice resounded as his seals changed. Innumerable starlight shackles shot out from the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid and had quickly bound onto the limbs of the Divine Pavilion Master, then pulled him in, despite his struggles.

Starlight was wiggling on the surface of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, then it turned into a black hole that was like a huge jaw as it devoured the Divine Pavilion Master.

Along with the Divine Pavilion Master being devoured, Mu Chen and the rest instantly saw some changes that occurred on the surface of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, revealing the scene inside. In the black starry sky, the Divine Pavilion Master was bound by innumerable star shackles and he couldn’t escape, no matter how he struggled.

The Earth Sovereigns had shock in their hearts. In just a few minutes, the almighty Divine Pavilion Master had already been captured by the Fourth Palace Master.

The Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid was truly terrifying!

“Fourth Palace Master, what do you want?!” The Divine Pavilion Master’s face was ashen as he roared from the pyramid. He never expected that the situation, which was completely under his control would, all be changed just because of the damnable Fourth Palace Master.

The Fourth Palace Master maintained an indifferent expression as he answered, “Take out the things that don’t belong to you.”

As he spoke, some blazing flames started to rise in the starry sky. The flames were extremely abnormal, as if they were made of starlight, which looked dazzling and gorgeous.

However, when the Divine Pavilion Master saw those flames, his face had turned unsightly as a deep uneasy rose in his heart.
