The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

Between the heavens and the earth, three shadows stood together in the sky. The black and white figures looked exactly like Mu Chen, but what surprised the countless top powers the most was that the spiritual energies that exuded from these two figures were every bit as strong as Mu Chen's!

"Are those two beings Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy Manifestations? How could they be as powerful as Mu Chen himself?" one of the top powers yelled out the question in disbelief.

The Spiritual Energy Manifestation was not a rare phenomenon. However, Spiritual Energy Manifestations that were as powerful as one's actual body had never been heard of before!

Sage Zi Yun, at another side of the sky, had a frozen expression on his face all of a sudden. It took a few moments for him to collect himself, and when he did, his eyes were filled with terror. He obviously terrified by the threatening aura being exuded by the black and white Mu Chens!

How could this be? How could his spiritual energy manifestation reach such a powerful level? Sage Zi Yun questioned in his heart. If things continued this way, he knew that he would have to face three Mu Chens at once, all of whom were equally powerful!

Previously, a single Mu Chen was enough to deplete all of his strength. But now, he was going to have to fight all three of them at once! Even the thought of this completely freaked him out.

However, Mu Chen did not pay any attention to Sage Zi Yun's panic. Instead, he waved his sleeves and a countless amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid appeared in his sleeves. Then, they were absorbed into his body, instantly going through the refining process and replenishing his energy.

While he was replenishing his spiritual energy, the black and white Mu Chens took a step forward. They locked their sights on Sage Zi Yun as they held the huge golden bow in their hands, then released the bowstring without any expression.

Voom!

The sound of the bowstring's vibration echoed in the sky as two golden light rays burst forth, each carrying a sharp and fearful air. They pierced through the void and eventually landed onto the thick purple cloud.

Kaboom!

The purple cloud shook after the impact. As it was violently tumbled about, layers and layers of purple cloud started to fade away under the erosive effects of the golden lights.

Before the purple cloud had a chance to recover, the black and white Mu Chens had already begun their next attack. Two golden light rays once again crashed onto the purple cloud, causing its layers to weaken rapidly.

The expressions on all of the top powers' faces turned pale after they saw this scene. Based on the current situation, Mu Chen appeared to have the complete advantage, as Sage Zi Yun was forced to hide like a coward behind the Purple Divine Cloud for protection!

However, this protection was slowly being chipped away every second. Facing all three Mu Chens, who took turns consuming its energy, no matter how strong the purple cloud's defense was, it would eventually reach its limit.

Looking at the fight, everyone quickly realized that Sage Zi Yun would not win by a landslide as they had expected. However, Mu Chen, who they thought would suffer a complete defeat, had unexpectedly surprised them!

Mu Chen had proven himself to everyone with his true strength. The power he now possessed was comparable with the three North Territory Overlords. As such was the case, the Mu Estate, which was under his lead, would qualify to become one of the overlords in the North territory!

Numerous forces were looking at each other in that moment. They all exclaimed because it seemed like, from that day onward, there would be a Fourth Overlord in the North territory instead of just three!

Compared to the complicated feelings that other forces' top powers had, the top powers from the Mu Estate could not help but cheer with glee. Their eyes were filled with excitement and respect when they looked at Mu Chen, as they clearly knew how grateful they should be to have a top power who acted as such a strong backbone in one of the forces!

"Estate master is amazing!" Liu Tiandao said, his face full of excitement.

All of the other people agreed, while their eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. At that moment, Mu Chen's reputation and position were at another level of greatness in the hearts of all of the top powers of the Mu Estate.

Mandela smiled when she saw how excited the crowd was. She stared at Mu Chen, but there was a slightly complicated expression on her tiny, exquisite face. When she had first met Mu Chen, he was only starting to step into the sovereign level, but now, only a few years later, that weak young man had actually surpassed her!

"It seems like I have to work harder. Otherwise, I'll fall even further behind this guy," Mandela whispered to herself.

Mandela, who was quite arrogant, would not always be content staying behind Mu Chen's protection. Therefore, in order to become more powerful, she would have to do her best to advance in her journey of becoming a Heavenly Sovereign.

When all of the forces in the heaven and the earth were surging with thoughts, up in the sky, the three Mu Chens were taking turns attacking the purple cloud. As such, even though the Purple Divine Cloud had a superior defensive power, it was becoming weaker and weaker.

Mu Chen, who was standing between the black and white Mu Chens, looked at the purple cloud, which was thinning quickly. After it had thinned a bit more, Sage Zi Yun's figure could be seen because of the transparency. Mu Chen shot him an icy smile.

He then raised his palm and a huge golden bow appeared in it once again. The bowstring vibrated as he released another golden light ray to pierce through the void. It then crashed into the Purple Divine Cloud.

Boom!

This time, the point of collision burst into golden lights. The golden arrows had successfully broken through the purple cloud, putting an end to Sage Zi Yun's Purple Divine Cloud!

Zoom!

Once the purple cloud was destroyed, Sage Zi Yun's awkward figure was becoming more visible. At that moment,he opened his mouth and inhaled the broken purple cloud. Then, he stared at Mu Chen with a gloomy look on his face.

"It seems like your turtle shell wasn't as powerful as you had mentioned it was before," Mu Chen said as he smiled gently.

If Mu Chen had said these words before the fight, he would have been teased by everyone. But now, everyone was silent.

Numerous top powers did not dare say a word at this moment. This was because no one could have ever expected that Mu Chen would be able to force the great Sage Zi Yun to stay at the edge of the cliff!

Most importantly, the forces, which were previously ordered to impede the Mu Estate, were shocked at the moment. Their expressions all went pale because they thought the Mu Estate would be defeated like the previous challengers had been.

This was the reason they recklessly provoked Mu Chen. However, based on the current situation, they had grossly underestimated the strength of the Mu Estate!

Up in the sky, Sage Zi Yun's expression was complicated. Deep inside his purple pupils, anger flickered. However, after realizing Mu Chen's incredible fighting capabilities, he knew that he no longer stood a chance if he were to go against Mu Chen on his own.

"Well, based on the current situation, do you think that the Mu Estate is qualified to compete in the Overlord of North Region contest?" Mu Chen smiled as he asked Sage Zi Yun gently.

Sage Zi Yun sneered. "I'm afraid that the North territory could not stomach another overlord!"

More than 80% of the area in the North territory had been occupied and split between the three overlords from different forces. If a fourth one was to appear, it would definitely cause tremendous turmoil. Even their current peace would surely be broken.

"That's a pity." Mu Chen felt sorry for Sage Zi Yun as he shook his head.

The next moment, his eyes became sharp, and as he held his fist, a huge golden bow materialized. Without hesitation, he released the bow.

Voom! Voom! Voom!

At the same time, the black and white Mu Chens were also releasing the arrows. Three golden light rays blasted off, each carrying indescribable sharpness. As they whistled through the air, they directly blocked all of Sage Zi Yun's escape routes.

Facing three incredibly sharp golden arrows that were heading straight towards him, Sage Zi Yun took a deep breath. In the next moment, his purple pupils were filled with purple lights, which eventually turned into a giant purple beam that blasted out from his eyes!

Bang!

The purple light beam clashed with one of the golden arrows, releasing a deafening blast. Both of them were destroyed at the same time!

However, the other two golden arrows appeared right in front of Sage Zi Yun in an instant. Just as the arrows were reaching their target, two vast and immense spiritual energies landed from the sky, blocking both of the golden arrows.

Bang! Bang!

A violent explosion resulted from the collision, destroying both of the golden arrows, as well as the two vast spiritual energies. Between the heaven and the earth, there were countless uproars, one after another, while numerous eyes looked up to the Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King. Both of the overlords were staring at Mu Chen coldly. Obviously, it was them who had just saved Sage Zi Yun from being killed!

"Finally, you've decided to attack." Mu Chen slightly raised his eyebrows when he saw what had just happened. It seemed like he was not surprised with this move at all.

He clearly understood that the Mu Estate would definitely trigger the three overlords to act if it were qualified to enter the Overlord of the North territory contest. After all, the North territory was their domain, and if Mu Chen was to interrupt their current equilibrium, he would become their enemy.

"Mu Chen, the master of the Mu Estate! You have already technically won this fight, so why would you still talk with such an overbearing attitude?" Reverend Thunder called down to Mu Chen from the sky.

Mu Chen laughed as he heard his words. "In that case, what do you think about the issue that both of you have with me?"

Reverend Thunder sighed and said with compassion, "The stability and peace in the North territory today is the result of painstaking work done by all three of our forces. If you were to interrupt our current equilibrium, I am afraid that you would raise a foul wind and cause a reign of terror and bloodshed in the North territory."

He then added, "Therefore, we hope that you could target somewhere other than the North territory. We would be more than happy to provide support for you then."

Mu Chen could not help but laugh when he heard such a shameless speech. After a few moments, he stopped laughing and asked gently, "What if I insisted on competing to be an overlord in the North territory?"

Reverend Thunder, the Golden Eagle King, and Sage Zi Yun looked into each others eyes before Reverend Thunder said, "If that is the case, then all three of us and our forces will consider you and the Mu Estate our enemies. We will then fight you until the Mu Estate is completely destroyed."

He then sighed and shook his head. Even though it looked like Mu Chen did not want to fight them, deep in his eyes, there was a clear killing intent. It was this arrogance that had aroused their own fears and killing intents.

After these words were uttered, the numerous forces in the North territory were all shocked. Based on the current situation, all three forces there would actually try to join hands to destroy the challenger, the Mu Estate, once and for all! This meant that the Mu Estate was indeed in grave danger!

Previously, Mu Chen had shown outstanding fighting capabilities, even pushing Sage Zi Yun to a disadvantageous position. However, it seemed like the situation would be flipped if Reverend Thunder and the Golden Eagle King decided to join the fight.

Under numerous gazes, Mu Chen squinted his eyes while looking at the Reverend Thunder and the other two. Everything suddenly became silent, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing.

The silence remained for a few moments before Mu Chen shook his head and said, "If that is the case… Then show me what you've got…"

Although his voice was soft, the message was loud and clear. It was like a thunder striking the heaven and the earth, causing the numerous top powers to be shocked. They couldn't believe that the master of the Mu Estate was actually planning to fight against the three overlords, all on his own!
