The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

In the broken tower, Mu Chen was sitting cross-legged quietly. Suddenly, his eyes opened and a strong crystal light burst out from them. Then, a crystal-clear Pagoda shot out.

Buzz.

The Holy Pagoda was constantly rotating in front of Mu Chen. Soon after, the wind surged suddenly and turned into a giant tower. It descended from the sky and enveloped Mu Chen and the will of Ancestor Budur.

As the crystal light in the tower was permeating the space, Mu Chen couldn't wait to raise his head and look towards the area that was above the tower wall. At this time, eight images appeared on the four clean walls within the tower.

Not only did the eight images appear to be ferocious and savage, they also exuded strong and fierce temperaments. When ordinary people looked at them, their minds would be seized by and consumed by that fierceness.

However, Mu Chen was looking at the eight evil images with eyes that were full of unconcealable happiness. "Is this the Eight Budur?" Mu Chen muttered to himself, as he still couldn't fully believe it.

After all, this Eight Budur was one of the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers in The Great Thousand World. This level of super power was something that not only Complete Earthly Sovereigns yearned for, but even Divine Heavenly Sovereigns desired it as well.

Mu Chen stared at the eight fierce images on the tower wall as he shifted his thoughts. Spiritual light could then be seen emerging from the images, and later, the eight images were separated from the tower wall before turning into huge entities that were standing and exuding a terrifying valiance!

"This sort of power..." When Mu Chen could sense this power slightly, he could not help but allow an amazed smile to appear on his face.

According to his estimation, if he would meet Shi Tian You again at his current state, as long as he trapped the others in the Pagoda, the Eight Budur would be activated and the latter would undoubtedly die! As for Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, they were not qualified to even resist him in this tower.

This was because the current Mu Chen held the two top Rare Super Powers of the The Great Thousand World. That kind of combat power could definitely make him worthy of being the frontrunner among those who were below the rank of Heavenly Sovereign!

"The Holy Pagoda is indeed sacred and unique. Otherwise, you would not have been able to control them so easily." Ancestor Budur smiled as he spoke.

The refining materials of the Eight Budur were the real Demon Emperors, and they were extremely fierce. If Mu Chen didn't have the Holy Pagoda, which naturally protected him from evil invasions and possessed the power of seal suppression, it may have taken him years to warm and nourish the Budur Core in order to brand it into his own pagoda.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen nodded in agreement. When urging the power of the Eight Budur to emerge, he could feel that air of ferociousness. If if was not for the suppression of the Holy Pagoda, he would not have been able to bear the consequences of that sort of fury.

Obviously, even if this level of Rare Super Power was obtained by ordinary people, it would be impossible for them to cultivate. Furthermore, if one wanted to forcibly do so, he would only bring disaster upon himself.

"Thank you, Master!" Mu Chen looked at Ancestor Budur and thanked him with pure sincerity. If it was not due to Mu Chen's having his favor, Mu Chen would never have had the chance to obtain this Eight Budur.

Ancestor Budur smiled and shook his head before saying, "No, I should be the one thanking you for inheriting my Rare Super Power."

Mu Chen smiled, but said nothing more. In his heart, he now had more respect for Ancestor Budur.

"Master, what are the conditions within the Four Sacred Towers?" Mu Chen asked, as he had suddenly just thought of Luo Li.

"Aside from the loss of the level of the Spear Ancestor, the other two levels are currently still intact. Now, the Four Sacred Towers are basically stabilized. The soul of the Heaven Demon Emperor, who escaped from the Spear Ancestor, will not be able to break away, as the power of the Four Sacred Towers will completely obliterate it sooner or later," Ancestor Budur smiled, and it seemed like the crisis had indeed been removed.

When Mu Chen heard this, he let out a faint sigh of relief. If that was the case, then the level where Luo Li was located should also have achieved victory. But, he did not know whether or not the inheritance of the Great Spirit Heaven Piercing Light had ultimately fallen Luo Li's hands.

While these thoughts were running through Mu Chen's mind, Ancestor Budur raised his head and looked at the broken pagoda. He went silent for a while, then smiled before saying, "While there is still some spiritual energy in this pagoda, let me give you another opportunity..."

The moment he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and suddenly, a dazzling spiritual light that moved towards them. This was a true spiritual light, an appearance that was caused by the condensation of spiritual energy in order to form a substance!

Buzz.

The spiritual light beamed down, and when it came into contact with Mu Chen's Celestial Spirit Cover, it turned into waves of spiritual energy that directly rushed into Mu Chen's body via a method similar to that of empowerment.

When that spiritual energy appeared, Mu Chen finally understood the intention of Ancestor Budur. He obviously wanted to infuse the residual power in the pagoda into Mu Chen's body in order to make some ascension for him.

As the spiritual light continuously poured into Mu Chen's body, the originally mottled pagoda was becoming even more ruined and was dimming at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, Mu Chen's body was emitting a vast amount of light, like a sparkling star. The flesh and blood in his body were all faintly becoming crystal-clear under the scouring effects of the vast spiritual energy.

Then, his flesh and blood began to exude a faint fragrance. This was because the impurities in his flesh were completely being eliminated, leaving behind no dirt nor filth. Hence, this mild fragrance would appear in their place.

He did not know how long the scouring of the spiritual light lasted, but when Mu Chen opened his eyes, he realized that the pagoda was so dim, it was about to be break! He could see numerous cracks everywhere!

Beside him, the body of Ancestor Budur had become more illusory as well. Clearly, it was a sign that his energy had been depleted.

Mu Chen faintly sensed that his flesh and blood were exuding a crystal light and waves of inexplicable spiritual energy were continuously revolving like a torrent in his channels.

"Half Step to Complete Sovereign level" The moment Mu Chen sensed this, he knew his own level at that time, which he yelled out. But, although he did not make a breakthrough to reach the level of a Complete Sovereign, he was still relieved.

"I just used the remaining strength to temper your body. The extra spiritual energy was integrated into your body to help you improve until you reached Half Step to Complete Sovereign. I did not help you to make a real breakthrough," Ancestor Budur smiled and said.

He then added, "I know that you have big dreams. Your achievements might even surpass mine in the future. So, how could I use the method of destructive enthusiasm to scourge you?"

Mu Chen scratched his head and smiled in slight embarrassment. He was indeed a bit worried that Ancestor Budur was suddenly so happy that he promoted him directly to a half Complete Sovereign. This certainly allowed him to gain greater strength in a short period of time, but in the long run, this was not necessarily a good thing.

After all, the path of cultivation had always required gradual and steady progress. As Mu Chen had a shocking talent, his cultivation speed was not slow at all. Thus, he did not need to improve by force. What he really wanted instead was for his success to flow naturally.

Only when such a foundation had been established and stabilized would it then be possible to aim towards the level of Heavenly Sovereign and even the Divine Grade within the level of Heavenly Sovereign.

Since I am at the level of Half Step to Complete Sovereign, after I warm and nourish it for a while, I will be able to swallow the Saint Spiritual Pill and complete my self-breakthrough in a perfect state, without any drawbacks! Mu Chen thought of this in his mind.

"Well, I have given you all of the benefits that I have." Ancestor Budur clapped his hands and caused Mu Chen to come back to reality as he spoke in a joking manner.

Mu Chen stood up and faced Ancestor Budur in a solemn manner, then respectfully bowed to him with a sincere heart. It was the first time that he had ever been so respectful to someone from the Budur Ancient Clan.

Ancestor Budur accepted Mu Chen's bow. In accordance to their bloodline, he could be regarded as Mu Chen's ancestor, so it was natural for him to accept it.

"Mu Chen... Kid..." Ancestor Budur murmured.

"Yes?" Mu Chen gazed at him respectfully.

Ancestor Budur stared at him for a long while, then slowly said, "No matter how many grievances you have with the Budur Ancient Clan, your body will always have the blood of the Budur Ancient Clan pulsing through it. I hope that you can promise me, if one day, the Budur Ancient Clan suffers a devastating disaster, you can help protect it."

Mu Chen was stunned. He was now currently only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. In the eyes of the Budur Ancient Clan, he was like an ant! However, Ancestor Budur had actually said such words to him!

Complex emotions flooded his mind as he looked in the eyes of the old man in front of him. He could see that the old man was filled with anticipation, so Mu Chen finally nodded his head lightly.

Seeing Mu Chen's nod, a smile, which showed that he had been relieved of a heavy burden, appeared on Ancestor Budur's old face. At the same time, his body was becoming more and more illusory.

Within this pagoda, even the gravel was falling down. It was clear that the pagoda was about to collapse.

"You have completed the mission of the Four Sacred Tower very admirably," Ancestor Budur said as he waved his sleeves and a Spiritual Light enveloped Mu Chen. The space then distorted and directly swallowed him up.

Boom.

Immediately after Mu Chen's departure, the pagoda immediately collapsed. As it did so, numerous boulders fell and buried the Holy Pagoda within the ruins.

When the light of the spiritual energy that was enveloping Mu Chen was gone, numerous loud noises were suddenly heard all around him. He looked around and noticed that the was currently outside the Four Sacred Tower.

"Mu Chen!" A crisp voice could be heard, and Mu Chen raised his head to see who had spoken.

Then, a smile appeared on his handsome face as he saw Wen Qingxuan's and Luo Li's group approaching.

"How was it?" Mu Chen asked Luo Li with a look of concern.

"By sheer good luck, I was able to accomplish the mission." As Luo Li smirked, her beauty took Mu Chen's breath away.

"What about you?" she asked.

Mu Chen stretched out his palm and gently held Luo Li's cool jade-like hand before he smiled and said, "We are all the biggest winners."

In the distance, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were looking in the direction of Mu Chen with gloomy expressions. They then turned to look at each other before they Mo Xin mumbled, "Winner? Say that only if you can leave the Holy Gulf Continent alive!"

The moment Mo Xin finished speaking, the two of them clenched their palms and a jade talisman appeared. As they crushed the talisman, a Spiritual Light emerged and enveloped them within it. Then, their figures disappeared quickly.
