The Great Ruler

Chapter 1497 - New Owner of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda

Within the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, Maha You’s face was covered in shock as he looked at the Primordial Immortal Body. When he looked at the location where the dark-golden silhouette disappeared again, his expression froze.

At this moment, he finally understood what was going on. That mysterious silhouette before him was the genuine Primordial Immortal Body!

The dark-golden silhouette that he had spent such a high price to control was a counterfeit!

The answer made Maha You’s face twitch and his eyes turned red, looking at the Primordial Immortal Body. The jealousy in his eyes could practically take form.

“How is that possible! How did the Primordial Immortal Body fall into the hands of that brat?!” Maha You muttered with his eyes turning red. He evidently couldn’t accept the brutal reality of the Primordial Immortal Body being obtained by Mu Chen.

“My Ancient Maha Clan has protected the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, so how can it pick an outsider?!” Maha You roared towards the mysterious silhouette with reluctance.

In response to his roar, the Primordial Immortal Body did not budge. The Primordial Immortal Body was a unique existence that possessed a strand of intelligence. However, it did not have it’s own consciousness. In its judgment, Maha You might be stronger than Mu Chen, but the former wasn’t a suitable candidate.

After calmly looking at Maha You, Mu Chen stretched his finger out and said in a cold tone, “Take his Immortal Origin.”

Not only did the Maha You scheme against him, the former even forced him to self-destruct his Immortal Golden Body. Later, Maha You even tried to make a move against him. It was a debt that Mu Chen had held in his heart.

With the sudden twist of the situation, Mu Chen had no reason to let Maha You go.

“You dare?!” Maha You bellowed with his face changing when he heard Mu Chen’s words.

When his voice ended, the Primordial Immortal Body took a step forth and appeared before Maha You.

Maha You’s face was pale as violent Spiritual Energy circulated within his body and he retreated. In a blink of an eye, he had fled a few myriad feet out.

But when he retreated, the Primordial Immortal Body did not chase after him. Instead, it stretched its hand out and grasped towards Maha You.

That grasping gesture caused the heaven and earth to freeze and Maha You was akin to a trapped insect, frozen in that space. There was only fear on his face.

When the Primordial Immortal Body pointed at him, a purplish-golden radiance gathered behind Maha You’s body. His Immortal Golden Body was summoned without his control...

At this moment, Maha You finally felt true fear.

When the Primordial Immortal Body clenched its hand, Maha You’s Immortal Golden Body was covered in cracks before it exploded.

With a suction force from its mouth, the Primordial Immortal Body completely devoured the Immortal Origin.

When Maha You regained his freedom, a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth and the Spiritual Energy around him had weakened down. Evidently, he had suffered a heavy blow!

“Mu Chen! You dared to destroy my Immortal Golden Body?!” Maha You roared and viciously looked at Mu Chen. With the Immortal Origin of his Immortal Golden Body seized, his Sovereign Immortal Body was destroyed. Unless he restarted his cultivation, it’s impossible for him to form the Immortal Golden Body again. To him, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

“You made me self-destruct my Immortal Golden Body, so I destroyed yours. We’re even now.” Mu Chen smiled.

Maha You’s pupils nearly popped out from the rage and a sinister expression as if he could swallow Mu Chen whole.

“Looks like you’re not satisfied.” Seeing his expression, Mu Chen squinted his eyes and pointed towards Maha You with killing intent in his eyes.

“So what? You dare to kill me?!” Maha You’s eyes turned cold. This was the Ancient Maha Clan. If Mu Chen dared to kill him, then he would be in deep trouble. Thus, he did not believe that Mu Chen would dare to kill him.

“Kill him.” When Maha You finished speaking, Mu Chen’s indifferent voice resounded.

The Primordial Immortal Body’s pupils turned to look at Maha You.

With his scalp going numb, Maha You stared at Mu Chen in disbelief. Evidently, he never expected that the latter would really dare to kill him. But from the killing intent in those words, he knew that it wasn’t a joke.

“You’re insane!” Maha You gnashed his teeth and no longer dared to stay. “I withdraw!”

When the dark-golden silhouette was slaughtered, he could sense that they’re now able to withdraw.

The space around Maha You distorted before he was sent out of the pagoda.

But before he disappeared, he coldly looked at Mu Chen. “Mu Chen, don’t get too happy. Even if you’ve obtained the Primordial Immortal Body, you still have to take it from my Ancient Maha Clan!”

When he finished his words, he disappeared from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.

Indifferently looking at Maha You, Mu Chen snickered, “What a fast runner.”

If that fellow continued to remain there, he was really intending to kill Maha You. After all, even if he allowed Maha You to leave, the Ancient Maha Clan wouldn’t let him go now that he has obtained the Primordial Immortal Body. Since that’s the case, why should he give them any face?

While Mu Chen’s eyes flickered, he lowered his hand and looked at Ye Qing. Seeing Mu Chen’s gaze, the latter bitterly smiled. “I never expected that the Primordial Immortal Body would fall in your hands.”

Letting out a sigh, he closed his eyes. “But it’s better than giving it to that scumbag, Maha You. You have to be careful. It will not be easy for you to leave with the Primordial Immortal Body”

When he finished, he turned to the sky. “I withdraw.”

Nodding his head, Mu Chen replied, “Thanks for your reminder. I will pay more attention from now on.”

With a smile, Ye Qing did not continue speaking and was enveloped by a spatial fluctuation and disappeared.

After Ye Qing left, Mu Chen was the only one left in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.

When Maha You and Ye Qing left, the two mirrors shattered, and all vision within the pagoda disappeared.

When the mirrors disappeared, everyone outside the pagoda was silent. They could feel the pressure in the atmosphere that came from Maha Tian.

Maha Tian coldly looked at Maha You, who appeared beside him. He did not speak, but held his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.

The silence made others feel uneasy, and it was akin to the calm that came before the storm.

Everyone knew that Maha Tian couldn’t watch as the Primordial Immortal Body was being taken from their Ancient Maha Clan, not even if it has acknowledged an owner!

Looking at Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing could sense the ferocious fluctuation in the former’s eyes.

However, she wasn’t too bothered about it, but stared at the pagoda with sharpness and resolution in her eyes.

If Maha Tian dared to try anything to her son, then she would surely not take a step back, even if it meant war!

On the other hand, Futu Xuan’s brows were knitted as he looked at Qing Yanjing and gently sighed. With the latter’s mentality, she would definitely not let the matter rest if Maha Tian dared to try anything to her son.

At that time, it would no longer be a trivial matter. It would be one that shook the entire Great Thousand World.

But she was now the Grand Elder that represented the Ancient Buddha Clan. So if Maha Tian did not give her any face, that meant that he’s disrespecting the Ancient Buddha Clan as well. Although the Ancient Buddha Clan has been declining, they would face the Ancient Maha with all they have if they took it too far.

Furthermore, Futu Xuan was also satisfied with Mu Chen’s performance. At this moment, he had already considered the latter as the Patriarch of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Since that’s the case, then there’s no way he could take a step back...

Under the pressure, everyone felt their scalps going numb around the pagoda. They knew that the moment Mu Chen stepped out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, an earth-shattering battle would break out...

It would be on a level that lifted waves in the Great Thousand World.

...

As the atmosphere grew tense, Mu Chen could see a light gathering into a blurred figure, it was the consciousness of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.

“Congratulations, you are now the new owner of the Primordial Immortal Body.” The blurred figure looked at Mu Chen and smiled.

Mu Chen’s eyes rippled before he gave a bow. His figure was trembling, which showed the excitement in his heart.

He had waited for this day for a long time.

After that, the Primordial Immortal Pagoda’s next words piqued his interest. “Aside from that, the Immortal Emperor also prepared a gift for you...”
