The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

As fighting spirit arose in Mu Chen, his figure darted towards the stabilized space like lighting. The previous change was equally shocking to Mu Chen, as he did not think that the Mystery Dragon War Emperor would be hidden in the Spiritual Butterfly Relic.

What shocked him most was the Mystery Dragon Army that Wu Tong had mentioned. That formidable army could even go up against the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign! To make an army troop of such an impressive level and scale, it would require a long time and a vast amount of resources, even for a supreme power.

Hence, even though Mu Chen was a War Troop Dispatcher himself, he had never thought of making a troop himself. This was because the resources, time, and effort that it would require were not something that he could afford.

Besides, Wu Tong had mentioned that the Mystery Dragon Troop was in good condition. Most importantly, the troop was not made up of war puppets, but were soldiers with impressive vitality.

It was only that the entire army was put into a deep sleep by the Mystery Dragon War Emperor. If he could revive them, they could regain their fame as the Mystery Dragon Army of the ancient times!

Everyone on the spot, apart from Wu Tong, might not appreciate the value of this. However, as Mu Chen was also a War Troop Dispatcher, he certainly did.

Hence, after Wu Tong finished speaking, Mu Chen darted out immediately. He wanted to enter the Space of Mystery Dragon before Wu Tong did.

No one had time to react to Mu Chen's sudden action, not even Wu Tong. In fact, Wu Tong was stunned! However, when he felt the intense fighting spirit from Mu Chen moments later, his face could not help but twist into a grotesque facial expression.

Never would he have thought that his speech would have created such an unforeseen circumstance! He was already sure that there was no other War Troop Dispatcher besides him on the spot.

Otherwise, he would surely have detected some kind of fighting spirit fluctuation during the battles! No matter how much disbelief he had in his heart, this fact was right in front of him.

As he watched Mu Chen, Wu Tong had the sudden urge to slap himself. Previously he had been too arrogant, so he had exposed all of these secrets! But, he had needed some impactful information in order to distract everyone's attention, so that they would not break the stabilizing passageway! He just wasn't expecting that his words would bring trouble upon himself!

Wu Tong's eyes turned red almost immediately. He looked extremely hideous.

Even though Wu Tong looked at Mu Chen with a pair of horrifying eyes, he did not stop him. Instead, he stepped into the Space of Mystery Dragon ahead of Mu Chen.

The most important thing to do now was to retrieve the Mystery Dragon Army. If he allowed himself to be distracted by Mu Chen at this time, he was afraid that even more changes would occur.

Shua!

The Space of Mystery Dragon slightly fluctuated as Wu Tong disappeared at the end of the passageway. The next moment, Mu Chen showed up outside the passageway. Without any hesitation, he dove into it.

The two of them disappeared into the Space of the Mystery Dragon, one after another. As the two of them disappeared, silence fell upon the karst cave.

Both teams were observing the situation with doubtful expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Mu Chen entered the Space? But Wu Tong would not let him off so easily..." Wen Qingxuan stood up immediately and looked at Luo Li and Ling Xi, worry written all over her face.

She then asked, "Why is Mu Chen a War Troop Dispatcher too? Can he really defeat Wu Tong?"

Mu Chen had clearly entered the Space of Mystery Dragon for the Mystery Dragon Army, but Wu Tong would not allow him to do so. As such, both of them would definitely have an extremely fierce battle inside of it!

Moreover, Wu Tong was somewhat stronger than the usual Complete Earthly Sovereign. Plus, as he had a handful of trump cards, he was definitely not someone who would be easy to deal with.

Ling Xi slightly frowned her brows, while Luo Li remained quite calm. She stared at the Space of Mystery Dragon and said softly, "Mu Chen is not someone who would be blinded by greed. Hence, he must have some confidence in a favorable outcome if he decided to do this."

Although Wu Tong might be strong, Mu Chen was not someone who was easy to deal with. When he was a Lower Earthly Sovereign, he could even beat Upper Earthly Sovereigns! Now that he was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, Luo Li was sure that Mu Chen could still win against those formidable Complete Earthly Sovereigns.

Upon seeing the composed Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan and the rest slightly relaxed. Now, they could only pray for Mu Chen.

They hoped that Mu Chen could gain control of the Mystery Dragon Army. Otherwise, it would mean calamity for them if the army fell into the hands of Wu Tong.

The fierce battles in the karst cave eased up now, as they knew that the determining fight would actually happen within the Space of Mystery Dragon. However, the two emotionless Wu warriors continued to battle. Their opponents were the black-robed Mu Chen and the white-robed Mu Chen.

"Wen Ziyu, assist Mu Chen's clones in finishing off the Wu warriors," said Wen Qingxuan.

Wen Ziyu nodded, then dashed towards one of the Wu warriors. Dong Shan wanted to stop him, but Ling Xi appeared before him. The latter waved her hand, and a vast spiritual array formed, blocking his way.

When both teams were involved in a confrontation once again, they did not notice that a black figure was creeping in with the help of the shadows on the floor. It finally closed in on the Space of Mystery Dragon, then made its way into the vibrating space.

…

The moment he stepped into the space passageway, Mu Chen's surrounding environment began to change rapidly. The next moment, the space fluctuations quickly stabled, and he was able to observe his surroundings.

The land was deserted and deep valleys spread across it. After Mu Chen swept out his gaze out, he stopped it upon the land that was far away from him.

There, he saw a huge parade square that had black stones laid upon it. Thousands of crimson stone statues stood tall and high within it. Each of the statues was vivid and almost lifelike in appearance.

These stone status stood quietly in the parade square, like an elite army. They faced the platform in front of them with faces full of respect and passion.

As Mu Chen looked at the stone statues, his face gradually turned solemn. This was because he felt a daunting oppression exuding from these stone soldiers.

"This must be the Mystery Dragon Army!" Radiance flickered in Mu Chen's eyes. Only the Mystery Dragon Army could exude such a daunting oppression, even though they were in a deep sleep!

Shua!

Wu Tong appeared in the sky not far away. Passion and greed filled his eyes as he stared at the stone army. He then turned to Mu Chen and laughed. "Dumb*ss! Do you think that you can get the control rights if you follow me into the Space of Mystery Dragon?"

In the face of his taunts, Mu Chen remained composed. He knew things were not as easy as he had first thought, but he was not about to let Wu Tong obtain such a daunting army!

Seeing that Mu Chen was ignoring him, Wu Tong immediately felt bored. He sneered and clenched his fist.

Then, an amulet appeared in his hand. He then tossed the amulet up in the air.

When the amulet was in the air, it let out a radiant spiritual light. The light was like the warm sunlight as it shone on the stone statues in the parade square. Under the spiritual light, Mu Chen quickly discovered that the stone bodies were melting!

"That amulet must have been made by the Heavenly Sovereign in the Wu family in order to wake these sleeping soldiers!" Mu Chen knit his eyebrows slightly upon seeing that Wu Tong was indeed well-prepared!

The stone statues were melting non-stop as Mu Chen was watching. After a few minutes, the stone had utterly melted off of the statues, leaving only scarlet armored figures!

These figures were extremely burly, and their skins were dark red in color. Vague dragon scales could even be seen upon them, and they were giving off a tinge of dragon's mightiness.

But, Mu Chen also noticed that, when they had slowly detached from the stones, some of the warriors had turned into ashes immediately. The deep sleep must have eroded some of them as time passed.

As Mu Chen and Wu Tong watched them anxiously, the scarlet figures opened their eyes. Confusion filled their eyes at first.

Eventually, their eyes gathered some spiritual light within them, and in the end, they suddenly lowered their heads and bowed towards the tall platform that was in front of them.

Dong!

The land seemed to shake at this time. The figures then gradually recovered their memories, finally remembering the last scene before they fell into a deep sleep. Their king had used his last bit of power to put them into a deep sleep in order to protect them!

Sensing that the Mystery Dragon Army was upset by this remembrance, Mu Chen and Wu Tong did not dare disturb them. They just let them mourn their king quietly.

After a short while, the figured, who were obviously the soldiers of the Mystery Dragon Army, stood up slowly. A burly figure, who was standing in front of the army, lifted his head and looked at Mu Chen and Wu Tong, who were in the air.

He then asked, "Who woke us up?"
