The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

The crystal pagoda stood quietly on Mu Chen's palm, with the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance and Xue Lingzi within it. Xue Lingzi was dumbfounded.

It had never occurred to him that the momentary loss of concentration would provide the opportunity to capture him into the crystal pagoda. Although he did not know the purpose of the crystal pagoda, he had noticed a dangerous aura exuding from it. He tried to activate the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance with his spiritual energy in order to break through the pagoda.

"Since you are already in there, don't even think of getting out." Mu Chen smiled flatly and changed his seal.

As he did so, crystal flames appeared in the crystal pagoda and swirled out. Soon, the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance was on fire.

Xue Lingzi turned pale. When his Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance caught fire, it dimmed instantly and dissipated. The spiritual energy that had supported the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance had evidently lost its power. Without the support of the spiritual energy, any Sovereign Celestial Appearance would dissipate, as it no longer possessed any combat strength.

"Have these flames sealed up my spiritual energy?" As Xue Lingzi had traveled widely, he immediately realized what was going on.

He received his power from the spiritual energy, and once his spiritual energy had been sealed, it would pose a fatal threat to him, even if it was only for a short period of time. Without the protection of the spiritual energy, an Earthly Sovereign would become weak.

Since the crystal flames in the crystal pagoda had been formed by the crystal spiritual energy, this caused the pagoda to be quite overbearing. Since Xue Lingzi had already fallen into the pagoda, he would be unable to escape from it! It appears that one moment of folly had caused him to lose everything!

The Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance dissipated quickly under the effects of the crystal flames. Then, Xue Lingzi's real body appeared.

Xue Lingzi was alarmed when the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance dissipated. Mu Chen had tried so hard to destroy the Blood Shadow Celestial Appearance when they were outside the pagoda, but to no avail. However, it dissipated in no time when it was inside the crystal pagoda.

Boom!

Vast spiritual energy burst out from Xue Lingzi's body, as he dared not stay in the pagoda. The Blood River whizzed crazily and attacked the walls of the crystal pagoda.

Buzz!

The crystal flames whizzed out again, then hit the majestic Blood River, causing it to dim and evaporate. It was as though it had come into contact with molten magma.

When Xue Lingzi saw this, he turned cold and became fearful. He had not expected for Mu Chen's crystal pagoda to be so powerful. Once one fell into it, there was no way to escape.

Crackle! Crackle!

As the crystal flames swirled toward him, Xue Lingzi felt his spiritual energy start to seal up. If this continued, he would lose his combat force once his spiritual energy sealed up completely!

"Mu Chen, if you let me go, I will give you all of my Battle Seals! I can even give you all of the Blood God Clan's 500,000,000 in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!" Xue Lingzi pleaded with Mu Chen.

Mu Chen raised his brows upon hearing the rather large amount. Xue Lingzi was indeed generous. This quantity must be all that the Blood God Clan possessed. With this amount, Mu Chen could purchase a Middle Grade Sacred Object.

However, Mu Chen was still not tempted. After all, Xue Lingzi was cunning and vicious, so Mu Chen would miss this opportunity to kill him.

He simply smiled and changed his seal. The flames in the crystal pagoda rose up and burnt more fiercely. It continued to seal off Xue Lingzi's spiritual energy, and in a few minutes, his spiritual energy calmed down.

It was as though it had gone into a deep sleep. He would need many hours to recover his spiritual energy, but by that time, he would be dead.

"Mu Chen, if you kill me, my clan will not let you off! They will attack the Luo God Clan and make sure that they pay a high price!" Xue Lingzi shouted.

"In that case…" When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled and said flatly, "I will just have to destroy the Blood God Clan."

When he sensed that Xue Lingzi's spiritual energy had been completely sealed, he triggered his thoughts, as this was the best time to kill Xue Lingzi. The crystal flames in the pagoda burst out and turned into a flaming hand, which immediately grabbed Xue Lingzi.

Boom!

The crystal flames went into Xue Lingzi's body and burnt him up, as his body was no longer protected by the spiritual energy.

Ah!

Xue Lingzi screamed in pain. After he had screamed for a while, his cries gradually died down. Xue Lingzi's body had been completely wiped out by the flames.

Fortunately, Xue Lingzi's spiritual energy had been sealed. Otherwise, Mu Chen would not be able to kill him. After all, an Earthly Sovereign had a strong will to live, so even if his body had been burnt, he could have activated his spiritual energy to recover. However, anyone that fell into the crystal pagoda would be completely drained of all power, regardless of how strong-willed he was.

"This pagoda is indeed overbearing!" Mu Chen exclaimed.

It was no wonder that the Budur Ancient Clan had such a strong base in The Great Thousand World. The power of its bloodline was indeed amazing!

Xue Lingzi's screams resounded in the area before he passed away. Upon hearing his screams, the grand forces who were hiding in the dark turned pale. When they looked at Mu Chen again, they were filled with fear.

They had not expected that Mu Chen would be so powerful. In slightly more than 10 minutes, he had managed to kill an Upper Earthly Sovereign!

They knew that Xue Lingzi had been completely eliminated, as they could no longer feel his spiritual energy fluctuation. One had to be extremely powerful to kill an Upper Earthly Sovereign within such a short period of time!

Those grand forces that had intended to deal with Mu Chen now became fearful and changed their minds. They knew that Mu Chen was a tiger disguised as a sheep! If anyone thought that he was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign and trifled with him, they would be digging their own grave!

"Mu Chen has the prerequisites to vie for the one and only position!" one of the grand forces exclaimed.

When the people in the White Jade Square heard Xue Lingzi's screams, they quieted down and looked fearfully at Mu Chen. Just a while ago, Xue Lingzi had suppressed Mu Chen, but in the next instant, Mu Chen had trapped him in the pagoda!

From the wretched screams, they knew that Xue Lingzi had been killed. This outcome came as a great shock to them. After all, Xue Lingzi was an Upper Earthly Sovereign and a top-notch master!

If Xue Lingzi was in the Western Kingdom Continent, he would have been a grand force. However, he had been killed by a young Lower Earthly Sovereign!

The people swallowed hard and looked at Mu Chen in fear. Those who had thought that Mu Chen was digging his own grave by entering the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns now knew that he indeed had the capability to do so. He might even become the dark horse at the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

After this fight, no one dared to look down on Mu Chen anymore. As the people looked at Mu Chen in fear, Luo Tianshen was totally taken aback.

After a long while, he came back to himself and asked, while trembling, "Is Xue Lingzi dead?"

His eyes then turned red. Xue Lingzi had been his clan's arch-enemy for years. Luo Tianshen had wanted to kill him, but instead, he had been poisoned by Xue Lingzi. If not for the Flame Emperor, Luo Tianshen would have died from the poison.

He had thought that he had to wait for Luo Li to become stronger, so that she could kill Xue Lingzi. But, Mu Chen had killed him this very day!

Luo Tianshen lifted up his head to look at Mu Chen. He then smiled. "If Luo Li learns about this, she will be very happy."
