The Great Ruler

The roar was akin to rumbling thunder that echoed from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.

The sudden roar caused everyone to focus and their faces turned cold. They could sense that the atmosphere between the Ancient Buddha Clan and Ancient Maha Clan was tensing up with a terrifying killing intent flowing over…

"It looks like Mu Chen couldn't continue hiding anymore…"

"What can he do, he has already hidden for half a year. He can't possibly stay inside forever, right? Judging from the Ancient Maha Clan's momentum, it's impossible for them to let this matter go so easily."

"After all, he's still young. I wonder how much of a commotion he will cause outside. The Ancient Buddha Clan might be strong, but this is the territory of the Ancient Maha Clan. If a fight breaks out, who knows who will suffer. At that time, the Primordial Immortal Body might be seized by the Ancient Maha Clan…"

"……"

Whispers resounded from beyond the city. Everyone clearly felt that Mu Chen's disappearance was to avoid the Ancient Maha Clan.

But the Ancient Maha Clan and Ancient Buddha Clan did not bother about those voices. Their eyes were focused on the Primordial Immortal Pagoda with different emotions in their eyes.

Under their attention, the Primordial Immortal Pagoda trembled with halos of profound radiance being emanated. After that, a streak of light soared into the sky from the pagoda.

Raising his head without any emotions, Maha Tian looked at the peak of the pagoda. There was a slender figure that slowly appeared in the sight of everyone.

That silhouette was slender and his clothes gently fluttered. His body was permeating a golden radiance with a jade-like lustre on his face. Golden light circulated over his body, emanating a mysterious aura.

That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen, who had been secluded in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda for half a year.

Under those gazes, Mu Chen was calm. He had already sensed the suppressive atmosphere when he stepped out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.

Facing this situation, he might really have been somewhat nervous if his strength was before he stepped into the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. After all, he couldn't maintain the calm in his mind if he wasn't strong enough.

It was only a pity that in that half a year, the rise in his strength was indescribable.

"What a grand spectacle. Although I am lucky to be acknowledged by the Primordial Immortal Body, I feel bad to receive such a welcome from the Ancient Maha Clan." Mu Chen swept his gaze over and looked at the terrifying formation on the stage. He smiled as he looked at Maha Tian and the two elders standing behind him.

Outside the city, everyone couldn't help smiling when they heard those words. Mu Chen was truly courageous. Everyone could tell that the Ancient Maha Clan had ill intentions, and his words were basically a slap to the Ancient Maha Clan's face.

"Bastard, I'm just afraid that you can't enjoy such a fortune!" Maha You sneered.

He lost the great fortune when he was defeated by Mu Chen, causing their Ancient Maha Clan to lose the Primordial Immortal Body. His time in the Ancient Maha Clan for the past half a year wasn't great, and if it wasn't for Maha Tian being his brother, he would've been treated as a sinner.

So when he saw Mu Chen now, he naturally couldn't restrain his emotions.

But before he could continue speaking, Maha Tian stopped him then looked at Mu Chen with a smile and a warm tone, "Friend, your talent is truly outstanding to obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body. How shocking."

Looking at Maha Tian, Mu Chen replied, "Patriarch, you're overpraising me. If Maha You was a bit more thoughtful to differentiate that the dark-golden silhouette was a counterfeit, I might not have a dip in the Primordial Immortal Body."

Maha You's eyelids twitched with veins wriggling on his forehead. At this moment, he even wanted to kill Mu Chen.

Nodding his head, Maha Tian said, "But I believe you know that my Ancient Maha Clan has safeguarded the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years. We've expended our time, so isn't it improper for you to take it away?"

Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. "That's where you're wrong. The Primordial Immortal Body was something that the Immortal Emperor left here to search for the right owner. Furthermore, he even spread the cultivation technique of the Great Solar Undying Body and Immortal Golden Body to your Ancient Maha Clan. That means that your Ancient Maha Clan actually had an advantage over everyone else.

"That can be considered as the repayment that the Immortal Emperor gave your clan, but it's a pity that no one from the Ancient Maha Clan managed to obtain the Primordial Immortal Body's acknowledgement. So there's no one you can blame."

Mu Chen's tone wasn't impatient or anxious. It was without fear, which caused many people to nod their heads in agreement. The Ancient Maha Clan guarded the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, and they even had a higher advantage than everyone else.

However, they could only blame themselves for their failure.

Maha Tian squinted his eyes and the friendly smile on his face retracted. "I won't bother talking, but I have a suggestion. I hope that you can leave the Primordial Immortal Body with my Ancient Maha Clan for a hundred years. I can swear that we will absolutely not stop you from retrieving it a hundred years from now. What do you say?"

When Maha Tian's voice resounded, even a ridiculing smile rose on Mu Chen's lips. He never expected that the Saint Heavenly Sovereign would be so shameless with his words.

Leave the Primordial Immortal Body in the Ancient Maha Clan for a hundred years? As long as anyone wasn't a 3-year-old kid, no one would believe that.

"It seems that the noble Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan doesn't want his face anymore." A cold voice resounded. Qing Yanjing couldn't help speaking with ridicule in her words.

Gently shaking his head, Mu Chen replied, "Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan, stop joking. Since the Primordial Immortal Body has acknowledged me as its owner, then I can only take it away since its fate with your clan is over."

When Mu Chen's voice landed, the entire region was swept in silence.

Indifferently looking at Mu Chen, Maha Tian said, "So you're not willing to fulfil this tiny wish of my Ancient Maha Clan?"

When he finished speaking, an incredible Saint Heavenly Sovereign aura swept out that enveloped towards Mu Chen.

As the pressure spread out, both atmosphere and Spiritual Energy froze in the surrounding space.

The Saint Heavenly Sovereign pressure that swept out descended towards Mu Chen's body.

That was the pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Surprisingly, there weren't any traces of fear in Mu Chen's eyes. On the contrary, it was replaced with a sneer.

Before the entered the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, he might have been rendered immobilised when facing the pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. But after five years of seclusion, he managed to refine his body into an Immortal Physique.

At this moment, the strength of his body was something that not even Saint Heavenly Sovereigns could be compared to.

Thus, Mu Chen balled his fist and radiated a golden brilliance. His flesh wriggled and his body had turned golden.

Similarly, a terrifying energy burst out from Mu Chen's body. In only an instant, that restriction in space shattered like fragments of glass…

In just the blink of an eye, the terrifying pressure had disappeared.

"What?!" Countless people beyond the city exclaimed with many Heavenly Sovereigns being shocked. That's because they knew the terror of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, and not even a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign could move under their restriction. But Mu Chen resolved it so easily?!

When the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan saw this scene, their faces were swept with disbelief.

Only Maha Tian and the two old men standing behind him understood what happened. Their faces instantly sank as they stared at Mu Chen's body.

Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan, whom were about to make a move, were dumbfounded as they looked at Mu Chen, before exchanging a glance and sucked in cold breaths.

Trembling voices resounded from their mouths that swept up a wave of astonishment in this region.

"That is… Saint Physique?!"
