The Great Ruler

Chapter 1499 - Five Years of Seclusion, Immortal Physique



The cauldron was shrouded in flames within the starry sky that permeated a terrifying temperature.

A golden skeletal frame laid in the cauldron and seemed to have been forged from a divine metal. It was indestructible and emitted a dense immortal aura.

There were ancient runes on the skeletal frame that gave out a misperception that this skeleton was created at the beginning of the world.

But despite being a skeletal frame, one could sense an extremely faint vitality within it.

Outside the cauldron, the blurred silhouette slightly nodded his head as his expression had turned a little more grave. In the next moment, he flung his hand and a purplish-golden mist gathered from the surroundings. That mist was the extremely pure Immortal Origin.

When the mist burrowed into the cauldron, it enveloped the skeletal frame and started to form the flesh at a plodding progress...

The regeneration was extremely slow, and only a small piece was assembled after a few days.

However, it was incredible, since the flesh contained a purplish-golden radiance that gave off a misperception of mystery.

When the blurred silhouette saw this scene, he gently nodded his head. The next step was to reforge the flesh, and the moment it’s done, Mu Chen would obtain an Immortal Physique.

Naturally, it wasn’t genuinely indestructive. It just represented a higher level of body refinement. Even amongst the Saint Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand World, there weren’t many that could reach this step.

Hence, the blurred silhouette closed its eyes and went into a slumber, waiting for the body to regenerate.

This wait lasted for an entire year, and when the blurred silhouette reopened his eyes, half of the flesh on the skeleton had completed its regeneration with skin starting to form.

Along with that, there was also a faint fluctuation brewing from the newly constructed body.

The blurred silhouette could tell that Mu Chen’s Immortal Physique has reached ninety percent, and he just had to finish forming the skin for a powerful physique to come into being...

...

More than four months have passed while Mu Chen was in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. In the past four months, many things occurred in the Ancient Maha Clan that attracted the entire Great Thousand World’s attention.

That’s because no one expected that the pressure outside the pagoda would continue to be increasingly suppressed as time passed. It was so much so that many Heavenly Sovereigns felt suffocated from the atmosphere.

Without any expression, Maha Tian stood on the platform with thirty silhouettes standing behind him that emanated a great fluctuation, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Every single one of them was a Heavenly Sovereign!

Thirty Heavenly Sovereigns!

This was the foundation of the Ancient Maha Clan that could intimidate fear in other forces. Ordinary forces could be established with just one Heavenly Sovereign, but the Ancient Maha Clan had a total of thirty!

Naturally, those thirty Heavenly Sovereigns weren’t the most shocking. Standing half a step away from Maha Tian, were two old men who held onto a black and white cane each.

Their faces were wrinkled by age and had deep eyes. The pressure that was faintly being emanated from them caused even the earth to moan.

The two of them were Saint Heavenly Sovereigns!

Including Maha Tian, there were three Saint Heavenly Sovereigns, and thirty Heavenly Sovereigns. This was also the strongest fighting strength of the Ancient Maha Clan, which they had revealed it entirely before the public...

In another corner, there were over twenty silhouettes with two standing at the front, Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan. Standing behind them were Xuan Guang of the Xuan Bloodline, Mo Tong of the Mo Bloodline, and Qing Tian of the Qing Bloodline, along with other Heavenly Sovereigns.

While Qing Yanjing and Maha Tian were standing in the tensed atmosphere for half a month, the entire Ancient Maha Clan practically came out to intimidate. However, Qing Yanjing did not fall short and made use of her authority as the Grand Elder to summon the entire strength of the Ancient Buddha Clan over.

The two clans standing in confrontation formed a terrifying pressure that caused the sky and earth to tremble.

The Primordial Immortal City was already empty, since everyone left. Just the pressure from the two sides alone was unbearable for them.

Thus, those forces that rushed over to watch stood a distance away, fearing that they might be dragged into the battle...

“It’s been nearly half a year...” Maha Tian looked at the Primordial Immortal Pagoda with a grim light and raged, “Why’s that bastard still hiding inside there?!”

He initially thought that Mu Chen would only hide in it for a month at most, but there wasn’t any commotion, even when it was about to be half a year.

“Relax.” An old man behind Maha Tian with a black cane appeased, before he continued, “We’ve already sealed off this entire region, that brat won’t be able to run. If he wants to stay inside for his entire lifetime, so be it, our Ancient Maha Clan will stay with him.”

“Indeed, my Ancient Maha Clan has protected the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years. So how can we allow it to fall into the hands of an outsider?!” The old man with a white cane coldly said.

Nodding his head, Maha Tian swept a glance at the Ancient Buddha Clan and coldly said, “It looks like the Ancient Buddha Clan is insisting on clashing with us.”

The two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns’ eyes were cold before they continued, “Don’t worry about them. If they’re not tactful, then let them witness why the Ancient Maha Clan is the strongest amongst the Five Ancient Clans!”

...

“Grand Elder, are you sure we should stand here and face off with the Ancient Maha Clan? Our Ancient Buddha Clan’s strength is weaker than them.” Xuan Guang spoke in a grave voice as he looked at the terrifying formation of the Ancient Maha Clan.

“Furthermore, this is still the territory of the Ancient Maha Clan...” Mo Tong added.

The two of them had grudges with Mu Chen in the past, so they were naturally unwilling to face the Ancient Maha Clan because of him.

Coldly glancing at the two of them, Qing Yanjing responded, “You guys can leave if you guys are unwilling to stay.”

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong were briefly stunned before they kept their silence. After all, they were part of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and even if they wanted to leave, their subordinates would definitely not be willing. After all, they were one clan, despite their differences. Thus, they would stay or die together.

“Cut the nonsense. Mu Chen is now the Patriarch of our Ancient Buddha Clan, so we have to protect him, no matter what!” Futu Xuan coldly bellowed.

Xuan Guang and Mo Tong’s lips slightly trembled. The two of them had been eyeing the Patriarch seat for years, but they failed to reach the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Thus, they felt reluctant that it would suddenly go to Mu Chen.

However, there was nothing they could do about it, since Mu Chen was the owner of the Primordial Immortal Body. They knew the importance of a Primal Celestial Body, and if Mu Chen managed to obtain it, he wouldn’t have to fear even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.

In terms of strength, Mu Chen was qualified to be the Patriarch.

Exchanging a glance, the two of them bitterly smiled before their faces turned stern. If this matter wasn’t handled well, then it might really cause the entire Great Thousand World to tremble.

“This matter won’t be easy to resolve...”

...

As purplish-golden flames sizzled, the boundless mist endlessly poured into the cauldron.

The purplish-golden cocoon that was formed within the cauldron suddenly trembled. The eyelids of the silhouette within it gently twitched before gradually opening up.

When he opened his eyes, two beams of radiance shot through the cauldron and streaked a hundred thousand feet away before they gradually dissipated.

Opening his mouth, that silhouette devoured all the purplish-golden mist into his body.

As the mist gradually disappeared, a figure slowly appeared from within the cauldron. His skin was fair, and the hair on his body vaguely permeated a purplish-golden radiance with an immortal aura circulating around his body, making him look mysterious.

Lowering his head, Mu Chen was stunned as he looked at this body of his. Sensing the unprecedented strength within his body, he raised his head and unleashed a roar.

The entire starry sky trembled with his holler.

When the blurred silhouette saw this scene, a gratified smile rose on his lips.

Five years of seclusion, and finally he has achieved an Immortal Physique.

...

Outside the pagoda, everyone sensed the commotion, so they raised their heads and looked at the pagoda. They could hear the roar coming from the pagoda.

“Finally, there’s some movement!” Everyone’s faces changed and the tensed atmosphere continued to soar.

Outside the city, everyone sucked in a cold breath. The confrontation that was in a deadlock for half a year was finally going to erupt...
