The Great Ruler

Chapter 1543 - Spiritual Academy’s Disaster

As the alarm resounded throughout the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the bustling academy went into an uproar with countless gazes looking out of the Spiritual Array with fear. The distant sky was dominated by a torrential demonic aura...

“The Fiend Clans are making a move!” Standing by the lake, Ye Qingling, Shen Cangsheng, Wen Qingxuan, and the rest had their faces changed at this scene. Their countenance turned grave as their bodies tensed up.

“Big Sister!” Sun’er flew over at this moment and descended beside Ye Qingling with concern in her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingling replied, “Calm the students to stop them from making any commotion... furthermore, make preparations for the worst-case scenario. The moment the situation collapses, arrange the students to flee through the Teleportation Spiritual Array.”

The Fiend Clans were powerful, and it was too unrealistic for their Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to obstruct them. Hence, they had to make plans for the worst-case scenario.

Biting on her lips, Sun’er knew the difference in strength between the two factions and nodded her head.

“Everyone, it has been so long, and now, we’re about to fight together again.” Ye Qingling looked at Shen Cangsheng and the rest with a smile.

With a smile, Shen Cangsheng had no fear in his eyes and a long spear appeared in his hand. Turning to Li Xuantong, he said, “Back then, you were slightly lower than me. Why don’t we compete again?”

“Exactly what I was looking for.” Li Xuantong smiled with Spiritual Energy surging around him, causing his clothes to flutter.

“With me around, the two of you aren’t in the position to show off.” Wen Qingxuan smiled, permeating with a confidence that looked like a proud peacock. She was still as dazzling as before.

But at this moment, an earth-shattering draconic roar resounded from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and a black beam soared into the sky.

It was an old man with his hair flickered with gloss. He wore a cold expression as thunder rumbled around him, carrying a powerful pressure.

“It’s Lord Northern Sea Dragon!” That elderly figure attracted a cheer from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with everyone having a fire blazing in their eyes. After all, the Northern Sea Dragon’s reputation in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was too resounding.

But facing those cheers, the Northern Sea Dragon’s face did not loosen up as he faced the demonic aura. He could feel a stinging pain on his body and could sense a powerful existence amongst the Fiend Clans.

Beams started to soar into the sky from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and stood behind the Northern Sea Dragon. They were the experts of the five Great Spiritual Academies.

Dean Tai Cang appeared beside the Northern Sea Dragon, looked at the latter’s complexion, and his face sank as well.

“Tai Cang, prepare for the worst-case scenario.” Looking at Dean Tai Cang’s expression, the Northern Sea Dragon sighed.

Hearing those words, Dean Tai Cang’s body trembled with sorrow in his eyes. He never imagined that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would encounter a day where it would face imminent destruction.

“Since that’s the case, then I can only make this old body of mine fight for more time for the students to escape.” Tai Cang clenched his hands and said with resolution.

As the Dean of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, he couldn’t throw his students aside.

The Northern Sea Dragon smiled and patted on Tai Cang’s shoulder. “I’ve protected the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy for so many years, and if the academy is going to face destruction, let me face it together with you.”

Tai Cang opened his mouth, but the Northern Sea Dragon disrupted him. Hence, he could only bow to the former.

At this moment, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and the rest also arrived and stood behind Dean Tai Cang.

“Dean, we are willing to die together with the academy!”

Looking at them, Tai Cang felt gratified as he replied, “You’ve all surpassed us, and you guys are the future hope. There’s no need to perish with the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. I hope that you guys can lead the students to escape and preserve the spark for our academy.”

The faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest sank, but they couldn’t refute Dean Tai Cang’s words when they looked at him. In the end, they could only give a deep bow. “Dean, please be reassured. We will definitely do our best.”

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Tai Cang turned and looked beyond the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy with a grave expression. The torrential demonic aura had already approached within a myriad foot.

Glancing through the demonic aura, they could see a multitude of demonic beings.

“Activate the Spiritual Array!” The Northern Sea Dragon hollered and all the experts by the Spiritual Array immediately poured their Spiritual Energy into it. As Spiritual Energy was constantly being poured into the Spiritual Array, the barrier around the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy grew more powerful as well.

“This protective Spiritual Array can defend against the attacks of several Heavenly Sovereigns, and this can be considered our last layer of defense.” The Northern Sea Dragon spoke as he looked at the barrier.

If the barrier was destroyed, then that meant that they could only fight with their lives on the line.

“I hope that this Spiritual Array can protect our academy.” Everyone inwardly prayed.

The torrential demonic aura finally stopped and the entire region was enveloped in silence.

The commotion within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had also calmed down, but many people had fear in their eyes as they trembled and looked at the demonic aura.

Suddenly, black skulls started to appear with a demonic being standing on each of the skeletons and permeated with demonic fluctuations.

A total of seven Monarchs!

Looking at the seven Monarchs, despair resounded from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Even the Northern Sea Dragon’s complexion had turned ugly.

Although he knew that there would be Monarchs, he never expected that there would be a total of seven of them, and every single one wasn’t weaker than him.

“Looks like the heavens are really trying to doom my Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.” Dean Tai Cang trembled.

The seven Monarchs indifferently looked at the despair within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy before they quickly made their moves. Instantly, demonic aura soared into the sky and slammed against the massive barrier.

Facing the seven Monarch’s attacks, the barrier violently fluctuated and the Spiritual Energy on it swiftly dissipated.

“If the Teleportation Spiritual Array is prepared, send the students out!” Dean Tai Cang ordered and someone immediately left with the order.

No one could resist the Fiend Clans the moment the barrier was broken, and not even the Northern Sea Dragon would dare to face the attacks of the seven Monarchs.

“The moment the array shatters, I will do my best to restrain some of the Monarchs. As for the rest, it will depend on your fates.” The Northern Sea Dragon looked at the trembling Spiritual Array and his face calmed down. Looking at Dean Tai Cang, he smiled, “Speaking of which, I’m thinking about that little brat back then who learned my Lightning God’s Physique.”

“You’re talking about that brat Mu Chen... haha. He’s not the same anymore. There were even rumors a few years ago that not even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign could do anything to him.” Dean Tai Cang smiled.

“I wonder where he is in these recent years. It seems as if he has disappeared... Others say that he’s terrified of the Fiend Clans, but I know that he’s not that sort of person.” The Northern Sea Dragon smiled. “How could anyone who lacks courage receive the black lightning to temper the body and learn the Lightning God Physique?”

As they spoke, the barrier grew thinner before it exploded before everyone’s eyes...

When the Spiritual Array shattered, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was exposed before the Fiend Clans.

“Slaughter!” The seven Monarchs coldly looked at the Northern Sea Dragon and could only feel a threat coming from him. Immediately, the seven of them made their moves at the same time and threw their palms towards the Northern Sea Dragon.

The Northern Sea Dragon wore a grave expression as crackling black lightning burst out from his body, looking like a god of lightning.

Taking a step forth, his hands joined together before pushing out. “Black Lightning God Palm!”

Black lightning hurled out like a surging ocean and clashed with the seven palms.

The entire heavens and earth trembled as the two forces clashed together. However, that black lightning couldn’t fight with the seven and was ultimately torn apart with the remaining energy falling onto the Northern Sea Dragon’s body.

The Northern Sea Dragon trembled and his clothes were ripped to pieces as a mouthful of blood gushing out of his body and his aura grew dim. He was heavily injured after a single blow!

“Lord Northern Sea Dragon!” The students in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy howled in despair. Who would’ve expected that the invincible existence in their eyes would be heavily injured after just a blow?

“Send them away!” The Northern Sea Dragon roared with a pale countenance.

The entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy broke out into chaos as everyone fled under the lead of the teachers.

As the Northern Sea Dragon roared, he looked at the seven Monarchs with his reddened eyes and shot out. At this moment, he had resigned himself to death.

Facing seven Monarchs, the Northern Sea Dragon knew that it was impossible for him to win.

Since that’s the case... then he could only resort to self-destruction to buy some time for the students.

As violent Spiritual Energy started to surge within his body, a terrifying fluctuation swept out.

When the seven Monarchs noticed the Northern Sea Dragon’s actions, their faces changed and bellowed, “Kill him!”

The seven Monarchs practically made their moves at the same time and seven demonic swords shot out with torrential demonic aura.

“Lord Northern Sea Dragon!” When Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and company saw this scene, their bodies turned cold with despair in their eyes. They knew that this attack would kill the Northern Sea Dragon.

“Leave with the students!” Dean Tai Cang faced this situation without any emotion on his face, but his nails dug into his palms with blood dripping down.

After Shen Cangsheng and the rest exchanged a glance, they gnashed their teeth and retreated.

As the seven demonic swords flew across the horizon, they aimed for the Northern Sea Dragon’s fatal locations with tricky angles that even tore space apart.

But when everyone was watching as the Northern Sea Dragon was about to fall, two buzzing noises echoed out from the horizon.

Suddenly, two dazzling beams of Spiritual Energy descended from the sky. One of the beams fell before the seven demonic swords and instantly erased those swords.

On the other hand, the other beam engulfed three Monarchs and they couldn’t even utter a sound before they were erased...

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuan Tong, and the rest stopped their retreat. They had disbelief written in their eyes as they watched these sudden changes...

While everyone was dumbfounded, the space behind the Northern Sea Dragon fluctuated and a silhouette slowly appeared. She stretched her hand out and placed it on the former’s shoulder, which instantly calmed down the raging Spiritual Energy within his body...

When the violent Spiritual Energy within his body calmed down, the Northern Sea Dragon was dumbfounded before he turned his head over and saw an exhausted, yet gorgeous face from the continuous journey.

Seeing the Northern Sea Dragon’s gaze, the gorgeous girl smiled and she playfully winked her eye with her resounding gentle voice, “Senior Northern Sea Dragon, you can’t kill yourself. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to Mu Chen when he returns...”

Her gentle laughter resounded, which caused everyone to be dumbfounded as they looked at her gorgeous appearance.

At this moment, Dean Tai Cang, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and the rest couldn’t help widening their mouth as they exclaimed, “That’s... Luo Li!”
