The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

“Eight Purple Moons…” Mu Chen’s mind looked at the eight bright Purple Moons, and he smiled in his heart. The Spiritual Pulse in his body was indeed the Divine Pulse. Mu Chen was not surprised, as the cultivation talents that he had displayed all these years had somehow exhibited it.

It did not necessarily mean that when one possessed the Divine Pulse, he would become a Heavenly Sovereign. Being talented helped him in his cultivation path, but it still largely depended on his own efforts. If one was not determined or was afraid of going through trials and tribulations, he might not be able to become a Heavenly Sovereign, even though he possessed the Divine Pulse.

All these years, Mu Chen had gone through many life-and-death struggles as he moved his way up. People only knew that he had become a Heavenly Sovereign at such a young age, but they did not know how much he had gone through. He could have lost his life at any time if he had made a mistake.

Since the Divine Pulse has appeared, please help me perfect my Spiritual Body, Mu Chen thought in his heart. He then calmed his mind down and after some time, there was a great heat in the chaotic environment. Following that, an external flame appeared and merged with the chaotic environment, swirling toward the eight Purple Moons. The flame was not formed by the spiritual energy. It came from Mu Chen’s heart. In order to refine the Spiritual Pulse, an ordinary Spiritual Energy Flame was unable to do the job. Only a flame from the heart could refine the Spiritual Pulse.

Crackle!

The flame from Mu Chen’s heart continually whizzed toward the eight Purple Moons and turned them into eight Fire Moons that looked extremely magnificent. As the flame from Mu Chen’s heart burned the eight Purple Moons, they gradually started to melt. Purple liquid dripped down, but the moment it left the Purple Moon, it disappeared into thin air. However, Mu Chen sensed that the purple liquid did not really disappear. It had gone into his flesh and blood…

As more and more purple liquid went into Mu Chen’s body, he felt that his physical body had become more firm. The feeling was as if a missing piece in his body had been replaced.

Indeed, it is so… Mu Chen exclaimed in his heart. He then triggered his thoughts, and the heat from the flame of his heart increased and burned the Purple Moons at an even faster rate.

Time passed by quickly. After several hours, the eight Purple Moons that had been hanging high up had turned into the size of a palm… The picture of the eight Moons on Mu Chen’s body became clearer, and his body automatically turned into a Heavenly Spiritual Body. Previously, Mu Chen’s Heavenly Spiritual Body had been crystal clear. However, at this moment, due to the Purple Moons, it looked mysterious as it exuded a purple aura.

“Eight Purple Moons, which is the Divine Pulse… I wonder what kind of Spiritual Pulse Super Power will evolve out of this guy.” Ancestor Xuan Tian was filled with envy when he saw the eight Purple Moons that had appeared on Mu Chen’s Spiritual Body. If Mu Chen refined the Divine Pulse, the Spiritual Pulse Super Power that evolved from it would be extraordinary. It would be at the highest level among Rare Super Powers.

The flame from Mu Chen’s heart continued to burn the eight Purple Moons, and the last drop of purple liquid dripped into Mu Chen’s physical body. At this instant, Mu Chen felt a strange feeling surging in his heart. The chaotic environment shook, and after that, a purple light spot suddenly appeared.

The purple light spot expanded profusely, and after a short while, it turned into a small purple flame. The purple flame expanded as the wind blew and started to burn. While the purple flame was burning, the eight Purple Moons within it rotated and exuded an aura that seemed able to perform wonders.

Is this the Spiritual Pulse Super Power that has evolved from my Divine Pulse? Mu Chen wondered as he fixed his gaze in bewilderment on the purple flame. Mu Chen shouted in his heart after sensing the purple flame for some time. He noticed that the purple flame was harmless to the physical body and material things, but it was fatal to different types of spiritual energy. When the purple flame came into contact with any spiritual energy, it would burn fiercely until the spiritual energy depleted.

This meant that if anyone were to fight him and come into contact with the purple flame or try to use his spiritual energy to put out the flame, he would be attacked by the flame, and it would become more violent.

This was similar to the Spiritual Energy Depleting Wind that Mu Chen had come across on the Holy Gulf Continent. However, compared to the Spiritual Energy Depleting Wind, the purple flame was more overbearing.

Most of the combat methods used in the Great Thousand World engaged spiritual energy as their basis. In the face of the purple flame, even a Heavenly Sovereign—if he had no idea about the purple flame—would be in a sorry state if he fought Mu Chen.

The power of this purple flame is comparable to that of the Supreme Rare Super Power, Mu Chen exclaimed. However, it was a pity that the purple flame was still far from the power of the 36 Rare Super Powers in the Great Thousand World.

When Mu Chen thought of this, he laughed at himself. The 36 Rare Super Powers were well-known in the Great Thousand World, and it would be ridiculous for him to think that he could easily obtain a Super Power that was comparable to the 36 Rare Super Powers. Mu Chen found himself being unrealistic. He suppressed his feelings and looked at the purple flame again. He decided to stop there and thought, Since the Spiritual Pulse has been refined, I will get out of here for now.

Although this was what he had in mind, he had a weird feeling. As he thought it through carefully, he seemed to feel incomplete. The feeling was intriguing, and Mu Chen did not brush it off. Given his current strength, whenever he had the urge to do something, there must be a reason.

I have refined the Spiritual Pulse and obtained the Spiritual Pulse Super Power. However, why do I still not feel that I have not perfected it? Mu Chen pondered in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Chen looked at the purple flame. Suddenly, he felt excited, and he triggered his thoughts. When Mu Chen used his mind to activate the purple flame, it suddenly expanded and turned into a sea of fire. It swirled out in the chaotic environment, burning violently. As the purple flame burned crazily, an amazing thing suddenly took place…

The chaotic space was like a mirror. It started to crack, and the crack rapidly spread out. As Mu Chen’s mind looked at it in amazement, it exploded.

This… Mu Chen was shocked when he saw the scene. Apparently, he had not expected this to happen. Vast, holy light burst out from the chaotic surroundings. It was as though it had been kept within for a long while, and once it appeared, it exuded a majestic force.

Mu Chen was shocked, and he followed the direction of the Holy Light. He gasped when he saw a Holy Sun rising up slowly in the chaotic space. After the Holy Sun rose, one sun after another followed after it. There was a total of nine suns in the sky. The nine Holy Suns hung deep inside Mu Chen’s body like an emperor who had lived in seclusion. Once it revealed itself, it took the world by storm.

Mu Chen’s mind looked at the nine suns in amazement, and at that instant, he could not help losing his composure. He thought in astonishment, Nine Suns? How is it that there is another Divine Pulse?

The current Divine Pulse was of a higher level than the previous Eight Divine Pulse! This was the highest level, the Nine Divine Pulse! Previously, he had already refined a Spiritual Pulse. He wondered why there was a Nine Divine Pulse after the Eight Divine Pulse!

Mu Chen’s heart was in turmoil. After a long while, he managed to calm himself down. After sensing carefully, he noticed that the Nine Divine Pulse blended perfectly with his physical body. He felt as though he had been born with it.

Mu Chen was excited. Although the Eight Divine Pulse fit perfectly with his physical body, it was not as perfect as the Nine Divine Pulse, but something was still amiss. It felt as though he had been born with one, and the other had been acquired.

Mu Chen went into deep thought, and after a long while, he let out a long breath. He felt perplexed and muttered to himself, “Mother, is this your doing as well?” After thinking it through, he finally came to a realization. If he was right in his presumption, the Eight Divine Pulse that he had refined earlier did not belong to him but to his mother. His mother must have used the Eight Divine Pulse to cover the Nine Divine Pulse in his body.

Mu Chen suspected that once the Nine Divine Pulse showed itself, the Budur Ancient Clan would notice it, as he possessed their bloodline. In order to protect him, his mother had planted her Eight Divine Pulse in Mu Chen’s body to cover up his Nine Divine Pulse.

Generally speaking, one could not transfer one’s Divine Pulse. It had probably been done before Mu Chen came into the world. As he and his mother were one when she conceived him, Qing Yanjing was able to plant her Eight Divine Pulse into his body.

As all these thoughts filled Mu Chen’s mind, he felt bitterness and warmth at the same time. To leave one’s Divine Pulse was equivalent to leaving one’s own flesh and blood. He could not imagine how terrible it had been for his mother when she had to go through the suffering when she was pregnant with him. She had gone through all this just to give him the protection he needed. When Mu Chen thought of this, his eyes became watery, and he felt like crying, even given his strong character.

Hoof. Mu Chen took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. He said softly, “Mother, thank you for all that you have done for me… but I am no longer the child that I used to be. I am now able to withstand all the trials and tribulations. If the Budur Ancient Clan decides to come after me, I will take them on!”

As Mu Chen’s mind looked at the nine Holy Suns, he triggered his thoughts. His thoughts then spread out, and a deep voice resounded, “You have been sleeping for so many years… now, it is time for you to show yourself. Nine Divine Pulse… wake up!”

Buzz! Buzz!

The nine Holy Suns started to buzz as they seemed to hear Mu Chen summoning them. In the next instant, myriad rays of Holy Light burst out.

On the mountain peak.

While Ancestor Xuan Tian was looking at Mu Chen’s eight moons, he suddenly saw light bursting out from Mu Chen’s body. He then saw the eight Purple Moons start to shrink. Light runes of the Nine Holy Suns appeared and exuded a majestic aura! Thunder roared in the entire area. The wind blew, and the clouds surged. It was as though the area had been traumatized by the appearance of the Nine Divine Pulse.

Ancestor Xuan Tian looked at the nine suns on Mu Chen’s body in disbelief. After a long while, he let out a shriek. “This is ridiculous! It is the Nine Divine Pulse!”
