The Great Ruler

Chapter 1322 - The Four Saint Pagodas

When the next day arrived, the gathering point in the market was crowded with many people seeing the dominant teams gathering before heading towards the distance.

The large-scaled movement caused a shock amongst the other teams. But because of their inferior strength, they weren’t qualified to participate in the gathering. Thus, it was also impossible for them to obtain information regarding the Four Ancestor Legacies, not to mention knowing the reason for this commotion.

However, some teams had also swiftly moved and followed behind the big group from afar.

The big group also did not pay attention to those following them. As what Qin Bubai had said, the experts of the Fiend Clans would be gathering at the Four Ancestor Legacies, and if a battle broke out, those greedy fellows would be the ones suffering.

...

Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan and the two other teams also followed behind the big group, keeping a safe distance from the other teams, which was also what the other teams have been doing as well.

Although they could barely be considered as one camp, everyone was clear that the four legacies weren’t enough for all of them. If that time really came, the other teams would be their competitors.

Thus, there was a need to maintain caution against the other competitors.

“This momentum is truly formidable.” Mu Chen looked at the massive momentum and couldn’t help sighing. According to his estimation, there were at least ten-odd elite teams here, and all of them could be considered the strongest in the Primordial Sacred Abyss.

“It means that the Four Ancestor Legacies are extremely dangerous.” Luo Li gently spoke out with a grave expression.

Nodding his head, Mu Chen knew that the danger wasn’t something that the Spirit-Pellet Butterfly Fairy’s legacy could be compared to. If he wanted to obtain the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, then he would not only have to face those competitors from the same camp, he also had to deal with the Fiend Clans.

“The situation in the Four Ancestor Legacies isn’t clear, and if we happen to get separated, don’t push yourself.” Mu Chen said solemnly as he looked at Luo Li. Luo Li also had her mission, to obtain the Ancient Spirit Channelling Light of the Ancient Spirit Clan. But she’s only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, so she didn’t pose much competitiveness in the Sacred Abyss where Perfected Earth Sovereigns ruled.

If Luo Li stayed with him, he would be able to help her. But if they were separated due to unknown reasons, he’s worried that something might happen to Luo Li.

Sensing Mu Chen’s care, Luo Li lightly smiled with her beauty shining upon this region while she nodded her head. “Rest assured, I will not push myself.”

“Furthermore... don’t underestimate me just because I am a Lesser Earth Sovereign. I have my own means.” Luo Li playfully blinked her eyes at Mu Chen cunningly.

Mu Chen was stunned before nodding his head. Since Luo Li could say those words, that meant that she must have been prepared.

“If I have guessed correctly, that lady beside Xuan Luo should be the Half-Holy Maiden of the Ancient Spirit Clan, and her objective is the Ancient Spirit Channelling Light, as well.” Luo Li gently spoke as she swept her gaze out.

“Oh?” Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and discovered the charming lady beside Xuan Luo. With her looks, she’s also a top-graded beauty. “How do you know about that?”

“The intuition of a woman... because she has secretly looked at me many times.” Luo Li smiled.

Mu Chen was speechless as he shook his head with a weak smile. The intuition of a woman was truly terrifying. They’re even so sensitive towards those hidden gazes.

“That woman is a little shrewd.” Mu Chen said after a brief ponder. Although he did not have any contact with her, he could see Perfected Earth Sovereign experts around her at all times.

She wasn’t the same as Luo Li, because many people have been shut out by Luo Li when they tried to worm their way close without the slightest thought of pulling powerful people around her.

Luo Li nodded her head with a smile. The means of that woman was truly something. “Don’t worry. I’ll be wary of her.”

Mu Chen nodded his head. That Half-Holy Maiden might be shrewd, but Luo Li also cannot be underestimated. Luo Li could pull the Luo God Clan onto the right path and rising meant that her intelligence was comparable to her beauty.

As long as Luo Li was wary, that woman wouldn’t be able to pose much of a threat to the former.

As the two of them spoke, they suddenly sensed that the group had started to speed up. Clearly, the one leading, Qin Bubai had quickened his speed. Thus, they also did not continue to chat and followed the big group.

They spent a day and night traveling, and when the nightscape enveloped over, the group cut into a mountain for resting, waiting for the next morning before they continued their journey.

Under this speed, Mu Chen and the rest finally realised that the group had started to slow down by dusk of the second day.

“Everyone, we will soon reach our destination!” Qin Bubai’s robust voice rumbled out.

The group went into an uproar as gazes shot towards the distance and saw a bottomless abyss on the ground.

The size of the abyss was indescribable. Looking from afar, it seemed like a boundless huge crater, as if it was a black hole that sent a chill down the spine of those who looked at it.

One side of the abyss was bright, as if there was a sun. On the other side, it was enveloped by a darkness that looked like a demonic realm.

As light and darkness continuously eroded, space was also tattered under the erosion with the occasional terrifying temporal storm roaring.

“This is the Gods Fall Abyss!” While Mu Chen and the rest were looking at the endless abyss with absent-mindedness, Wen Qingxuan’s voice sounded from his side.

“The Gods Fall Abyss?” Mu Chen was stunned.

“In ancient times, the Four Ancestors fought with the Four Sky Monarchs of the Fiend Clans here, and this bottomless abyss should be their masterpiece,” said Wen Qingxuan.

“This is also the place where they fell. It’s no wonder why their remnant wills gathered here after tens of thousands of years. Their obsession must be too deep, swearing to destroy the other party.”

Mu Chen nodded his head with a grave expression as he narrowed his eyes to look at the darkness. The experts of the Fiend Clans must have started to gather there, right?

As they spoke, the group approached the border of the abyss and they gradually descended, while being enveloped by light.

When Mu Chen and the rest descended, they immediately heard an aged voice that seemed like it had pierced through time and rang out in their minds.

“Helpers of the Great Thousand World, you guys are finally here...”

Mu Chen and the rest exchanged looks, This aged voice must be one of the four Ancestors’ remnant will.

“Senior, what do you need us to do?” Qin Bubai said as he cupped his fists.

“The Four Sky Monarch’s remnant wills have been separately suppressed by the four of us to erase them through time. They have also sensed that they can no longer hold on, so they have summoned the Fiend Clans along to destroy our suppression and free their remnant souls.”

“If they succeed, they will be able to form a connection to the Fiend Clans, and the Primordial Sacred Abyss will be pulled into the demonic realm completely, which they can use to attack our Great Thousand World.”

Hearing those words, everyone’s hearts trembled with a drastic change in their expressions. If that was the case, then wouldn’t they be pulled into the demonic realm as well?

“So we need your help to stop the Fiend Clans from succeeding!”

When that voice landed, Mu Chen and the rest raised their heads, as if they had sensed something. Thereafter, they saw a pagoda towering with distinct black and white.

Despite only having four layers, the pagoda felt indestructible.

“Every single layer holds the remnant soul of a Sky Monarch. Every soul that escapes means that one amongst the four of us has our remnant will annihilated. If three souls of the Sky Monarch are released, the Four Saint Pagoda will be destroyed with the balance destroyed, and the Sky Monarchs will be released.” As he spoke, the aged voice sounded solemn.

“As long as you guys can protect two layers of the Four Saint Pagoda, you will be able to maintain the existence of the Four Saint Pagoda until they’re destroyed.

“So failure or success are all depending on you guys.”

Hearing this, many people had grave expressions, since they never expected the situation to be so terrible. This was practically a complete breakout of war.

“Anyone that can protect the seal, he will be able to obtain the inheritance of that level!” When that voice resounded, many people had their eyes beaming with fire and dense greed. Did that mean that the one that succeeded would be able to obtain the inheritance of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign?!

Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen’s eyes blazed with flames as he nodded to his group with a soft voice, “Prepare to move out.”

For the Eight-Divisional Pagoda, he had no fear, even if he had to face Xuan Luo, Mo Xin or even the Fiend Clans.

Money could move a man’s heart, and a Peerless Divine Ability could even get someone to put their lives on the line.
