The Great Ruler

Chapter 1557 - The Great Ruler

As the ancient screen connected the world, five silhouettes circulated with radiance beneath the Firmament Board. The five of them were akin to five suns as they radiated throughout the entire world.

The eyes of everyone in the Great Thousand World were gathered on the five silhouettes at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, the Spiritual Energy within Mu Chen’s body surged before gathering on his finger. His entire finger dazzled with a terrifying, permeating fluctuation.

At the same time, the four other clones also made seals with a single hand and circulated their Spiritual Energy without holding back. In the next moment, four streams that were akin to starry rivers burst out from their bodies and gathered onto his finger.

As the boundless energy converged together, Mu Chen’s finger started to tremble. At this moment, he only had to slightly move his hand to erase an entire Lower Plane.

As the terrifying power gathered to his finger, Mu Chen’s eyes turned resolute. In the next moment, he no longer hesitated and brandished his finger on the Firmament Board.

When Mu Chen brandished his finger, he felt a barrier that couldn’t be penetrated. That barrier was mysterious and powerful. Despite looking feeble, there was a terrifying power on it that made Mu Chen unable to place his finger down.

Mu Chen’s eyes turned sharp as he violently circulated his Spiritual Energy. Even a wound opened up on his finger. Blood dripped down with his finger trembling.

But no matter how Mu Chen tried, the barrier stood firm and he couldn’t get through that barrier. That also meant that he couldn’t leave his full name on the Firmament Board...

“Haha, I previously said that it’s not that easy to leave your full name on the Firmament Board, and even if there are five of you, with each possessing a Primal Celestial Body, you’re still lacking one step!” The Heavenly Evil Monarch sneered as a cold light flickered in his eyes.

With his vicious gaze, he could naturally tell that Mu Chen might be powerful, but he was still lacking to complete that last step.

The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor sighed together. It was truly too difficult to leave one’s true name on the Firmament Board. It was no wonder why no one managed to achieve this in the past.

Within the Great Thousand World, the hope flickering within everyone’s eyes gradually dimmed down.

...

Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy

All the students had their eyes glued on the screen while falling into silence when they saw Mu Chen’s hand trembling on the screen and blood dripping down.

“It’s too hard.” Shen Cangsheng commented. Although he couldn’t imagine that level, he could tell how difficult it was, judging from Mu Chen’s effort.

“Mu Chen... come on!” Wen Qingxuan bit her lips with her hands clenched.

“Big Brother Mu Chen, come on! You can definitely succeed!” Sun’er gnashed her teeth as she cheered with her heart throbbing.

Within the Greatlaw Continent, the Mu Abode

Standing before the palace, Mu Feng, Nine Nether, Ling Xi, and Mandala looked at the screen in the sky and their hearts trembled.

“Stinking brat.” Mu Feng looked at that silhouette with his eyes turning red. The child who required his protection back in the Northern Spiritual Realm has reached a height way beyond his reach. But he knows that Mu Chen was risking his life to protect them.

“Regardless of success or failure, you’ll always be my pride.”

In the Spirit Demon Continent, Luo Li also looked into the Lower Plane and muttered, “Mu Chen, regardless of success or failure, I will accompany you to the end.”

Within the Lower Plane, Mu Chen looked at the blood dripping down from his finger and knew that the entire Great Thousand World was looking at him.

He has already become their last hope, and if he fails, he could only accompany the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor to drag the Heavenly Evil Monarch down with them.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen turned around and looked at his four clones, then bowed. “Gentlemen, please help me.”

The four clones exchanged a glance before they smiled. “We’re all one, so why do you need to say ‘please’?”

Mu Chen smiled before his face turned stern. In the next moment, a deep voice resounded from his mouth. “Three Pures - Ultimate Union!”

When his voice resounded, everyone that was looking at him was shocked to see the four clones abruptly ignite.

In just ten-odd breaths, the four clones were incinerated before turning into four beams and entered Mu Chen’s body.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and wore a solemn expression.

When he reached the Three God Realm, he knew that it wasn’t the highest level of the Three Pures. To be honest, there should be another realm.

It was a union, the ultimate union.

But once he completed this union, the Three Pures would disappear. That also meant that Mu Chen would lose that foundation.

“Starts from one, and ends with one.” Mu Chen muttered as his eyes abruptly bounce open.

When he opened his eyes, a powerful spiritual gale exploded that even caused the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor to change their faces. Even the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s heart trembled.

Mu Chen’s trembling finger had also stopped and he looked at the Firmament Board with his eyes flickering. He then brandished his finger once more.

When he brandished his finger, a buzzing noise resounded that spread throughout the Great Thousand World.

Wearing a solemn face, Mu Chen’s finger slowly descended on the Firmament Board, which the radiance on the barrier fluctuated as a last resistance.

However, that resistance lasted briefly before it shattered and everyone could see a lustre starting to condense on the Firmament Board.

However, Mu Chen’s finger moved with every movement bringing along a cursive stroke.

Everyone had their eyes fixed on the Firmament Board as a word was slowly being formed after the ‘Mu’.

‘Chen!’

When the last stroke was marked, the entire world turned quiet. The Firmament Board dazzled and shone down on every corner of the Great Thousand World.

Everyone looked in that direction with disbelief. A complete name was formed. The pressure that permeated from it even made everyone feel the urge to kneel while facing it.

With an endless, permeating radiance, it enveloped Mu Chen. He could sense his perception spreading throughout the Great Thousand World.

He could see the joy on the faces of the students in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, and he could see Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan, and Tang Qian’er...

He could see the excitement on Mu Feng, Nine Nether, Mandala, and Ling Xi back at the Mu Abode...

At this moment, a true feel of control surged within his heart, as if the entire Great Thousand World was within his grasp.

It felt as if he was the ruler.

Clenching his hands, Mu Chen’s voice resounded, “From today onwards, the realm beyond the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm will be known as the Ruler Realm.”

His words sounded like a decree as he raised his head and looked at the golden words left on the Firmament Board. After that, his voice echoed into the ears of everyone in the Great Thousand World, “In the Great Thousand World, everyone fights to become the best, and I... am... THE GREAT RULER!”
