The Great Ruler

Chapter 1486 - The Last Layer

In this ancient land, the ground was cracked, as if it had undergone a devastating battle. Even the far end of the horizon was tattered.

There was a crimson mountain quietly standing on the shattered ground that emanated an ancient and immortal aura, giving out a mysterious sensation.

On the crimson mountain, there were three silhouettes on a massive platform. The three of them had their guards up against each other.

The three of them were Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang.

Evidently, they had ended the elimination round and reached the last layer.

“Haha, it looks like the outcome went just as I have expected for the two of you to be here.” Maha You looked at Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang as he smiled. “Amongst the hundreds of us, only the three of you can be my opponents.”

Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang knew that the third person he was talking about was Shi Luo.

“Then, we have to thank you for having such high expectations of us.” Ye Qing held onto his crimson spear. His laughter was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with killing intent. He wasn’t afraid of Maha You.

As for Tuoba Cang, he kept silent without any expression on his face.

“But Shi Luo still isn’t here yet, so he must have encountered a powerful enemy.” Ye Qing noticed that the fourth person still hasn’t shown up, so he couldn’t help looking surprised.

“It must be that Mu Chen.” Tuoba Cang commented.

They understood Mu Chen’s information too well, and they knew that this person who ranked after them was a terrifying opponent.

“Although Mu Chen is capable, he’s still lacking to defeat Shi Luo.” Maha You laughed. He had seen Mu Chen’s battles. Although he was powerful, he didn’t feel that it’s possible for him to defeat Shi Luo.

Although Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang had their guard up, they still nodded their heads, since they were well-aware of Shi Luo’s capability. Even they weren’t confident about defeating Shi Luo.

Thus, even if Mu Chen was capable, it wasn’t optimistic for him to defeat Shi Luo, since he was only a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign.

When his voice resounded, space suddenly fluctuated and the three of them immediately looked over.

Under their gazes, space distorted and a youthful silhouette appeared...

The three of their gazes briefly fell on that young face before the smile on Maha You’s face froze. Even Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang squinted their eyes as they looked at that silhouette with shock.

They could tell that it was Mu Chen. Looking at Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang, his gaze slightly trembled before he retreated a safe distance away.

“You actually defeated Shi Luo?” Maha You locked his brows together as he looked at Mu Chen with a dark gaze.

“Isn’t it weird?” Mu Chen indifferently swept a glance at him.

“Heh, interesting... it looks like I’ve underestimated you all along.” A playful smile rose on Maha You’s lips as a cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn’t like the feeling of things going out of his control.

Mu Chen also did not bother with him but looked at the crimson mountain. He could sense an unspeakable suction force...

The immortal aura emanating from the mountain was exactly the same as the Immortal Golden Body.

It made Mu Chen’s heart speed up. ‘So the legendary Primordial Immortal Body is hidden in the mountain?’

“You’ve guessed correctly. The Primordial Immortal Body should be in that mountain.” Mu Chen’s gaze was followed by the gaze that came from Ye Qing.

When Ye Qing’s voice resounded, the crimson mountain trembled and massive ravines split on the mountain before it slowly spread out, as if the mountain was about to be split apart.

Those ravines emanated a boundless genuine immortal aura that existed in the world, even the heavens and earth were shattering.

A purplish-golden radiance emanated from Mu Chen, Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang before their Immortal Golden Bodies were summoned without their control, as if they felt a powerful suction force.

Mu Chen’s gaze was boiling as he looked at the mountain. He could vaguely sense that once the mountain split apart, the Primordial Immortal Body would be born...

But just when his heart was filled with desire, he suddenly sensed a cold gaze on him. He instantly circulated the Spiritual Energy in his body and followed the source to see Maha You.

At the same time, he also felt enmity from Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang. Since the Primordial Immortal Body was about to appear, only one of them could obtain it...

“Everyone, you should know that only one person can obtain the Primordial Immortal Body, right...?” Maha You’s gaze coldly flickered akin to a viper with killing intent in is voice, “So shouldn’t we reduce the number of competitors before the Primordial Immortal Body appears?”

Mu Chen, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang’s gaze flickered as they asked at the same time, “What do you want to do?”

Stretching out two fingers, a brutal smile rose on the corner of Maha You’s lips. “We will separate into two groups and eliminate our opponents.”

As he spoke, his cold gaze was glued to Mu Chen, he had already determined his target.

Knitting his brows, Ye Qing said, “The Primordial Immortal Pagoda still hasn’t ruled out any elimination, so that means that everyone here is qualified to see it...”

Squinting his eyes, Maha You smiled. “But I don’t share the same view.”

The atmosphere on the platform froze with cold, surging killing intent.

Ye Qing and Tuoba Cang looked at Mu Chen. They could sense that Maha You was targeting him...

Hence, the two of them exchanged a look. However, Mu Chen did not have any ripples in his eyes as he looked at Maha You and smiled. “It looks like you’re confident about chasing me out before the Primordial Immortal Body shows itself?”

With a faint voice, Maha You replied, “If you think that you’re qualified to stand before me by defeating Shi Luo, then you’re too naïve.”

Nodding his head, Mu Chen smiled. “If you really want to play, then I’ll play with you.”

A cold smile rose on the corner of Maha You’s lips as he responded, “I’m afraid that you will play yourself to death.”

With a smile, Mu Chen’s silhouette moved and he turned into a streak of light that soared into the sky.

Coldly looking at Mu Chen’s silhouette, Maha You had also made a move and chased after him.

Ye Qing briefly hesitated before the crimson spear in his hand slowly pointed towards Tuoba Cang. “What he said is correct, there’s only one person who’s able to obtain the Primordial Immortal Body. So it’s a good method to eliminate competitors.”

Nodding his head, Tuoba Cang grabbed onto his broken blade and his hair fluttered in the air with a sharp aura sweeping out that left marks in the surrounding space.

“I’ve been yearning to try Brother Ye’s Asura Spear Technique. I hope that you won’t disappoint me...”

...

“They’re fighting again!” When the spectators looked at the two remaining mirrors, they had a fire blazing in their eyes, since the four of them represented the strongest competitors in the Primordial Immortal Assembly.

Whether it was Maha You, Ye Qing, or Tuoba Cang, all of them possessed strong fame. Even Mu Chen, who had the weakest reputation, could defeat Shi Luo.

With the Primordial Immortal Body on the verge of appearing, the four of them had unfolded the pinnacle battle...

“That damnable Maha You!” Qing Yanjing’s face turned cold. She could tell that Maha You was picking on Mu Chen. Not to mention that Mu Chen had just fought with Shi Luo, and his Black Dragon Army couldn’t be used. Otherwise, even Maha You wouldn’t dare to take any risks.

“There’s no need to be anxious.” Futu Xuan consoled as he looked at the youthful silhouette in the mirror. “Your son has many means, and with his cunning, I don’t believe that the Black Dragon Army is his only trump card...”

“You’re the cunning one.” Qing Yanjing sourly responded before she restored her composure. Although Mu Chen couldn’t use his Black Dragon Army, he must be confident to take the fight.

Maha Tian was also looking at the mirror when the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan looked at Maha You and Mu Chen fighting.

“That Mu Chen is ignorant. Not to mention, his Black Dragon Army is heavily injured now. Even if he had it, it’s impossible for him to fight with Maha You.”

With an indifferent voice, Maha Tian replied, “Maha You did well.”

They were in full agreement with Maha You eliminating competitors before the Primordial Immortal Body emerged. It was so much so that the three other competitors could be eliminated. In that manner, the Primordial Immortal Body would have the only choice of Maha You.

“It’s a little rash. I’m afraid that the Primordial Immortal Body will appear in less than half an incense’s time.” An Elder looked at the splitting crimson mountain through the mirror.

Maha Tian also wore a cold smile as he looked at the confrontation through the mirror. “Half an incense’s time, it’s more than enough for Maha You to kick that brat out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda...”
