The Great Ruler

Chapter 1515 - Eternal Decree



“Azure Sword Saint...” Mu Chen looked at the azure figure seated beside the Undying Lord with his gaze flickering. There was a tint of solemn as this person has been a pinnacle expert in the Great Thousand World for a long time and wasn’t inferior to the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor.

That meant that there were three Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns in the palace. As for the representatives of the Five Ancient Clans, they were five Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns.

Adding on the few old monsters who were usually in seclusion, everyone added together could be comparable to two or three Last Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns.

Thus, nearly half of the top-tiered power in the Great Thousand World was gathered here in a terrifying formation.

“Since Brother Azure is here, then let us begin our Great Thousand Alliance Treaty.” Seeing the arrival of the Azure Sword Saint, Qin Tian smiled.

As he spoke, he swept his gaze over, “By rights, the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor should be here as well, but the Fiend Clans suddenly attacked the Endless Fire Territory and the Martial Realm. So the two of them couldn’t make it over.”

His words instantly caused a commotion and all the Heavenly Sovereigns wore grave expressions.

“It looks like the Fiend Clans are going to make a move at the North Desolate Grave. Otherwise, they wouldn’t try so hard to keep the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor from coming.” Azure Sword Saint sighed as his gaze flickered with a chill.

Beside him, the Undying Lord also opened his eyes. Although his face was wrinkled, it permeated a cold aura. “My Grave Guardians have protected the North Desolate Grave for 48,000 years. As long as this Great Thousand Alliance Treaty is completed, it will end. If the Fiend Clans wish to ruin it, then my Grave Guardians will face them.”

As he spoke, space trembled around him with cold, killing intent that caused many Heavenly Sovereigns’ faces to change.

The Undying Lord guarded the North Desolate Grave without getting involved with mundane affairs. But he would become a madman when someone crosses his bottom line.

Nodding his head, Qin Tian added, “If the Fiend Clans dare to come, we will naturally not allow them to get what they wish. No matter what, we just have to circulate this array once more to extinguish the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s vitality. At that time, my Great Thousand World will enjoy the peace, and there’s no longer a need for us to be afraid of the Fiend Clans.”

“Naturally!” All the Heavenly Sovereigns echoed along. They knew how terrifying the Heavenly Evil Monarch was. If that existence got out, it would be a disaster for the Great Thousand World. At that time, no one would be free from it.

“The Fiend Clans might have their schemes, but it won’t be easy for them. There’s a barrier in the North Desolate Grave that was set up by the Immortal Emperor. So the moment the Fiend Clans approach, the defense will be triggered. Not even Late Phase Sky Monarchs can break through it.”

“As for us, we just have to trigger the seal when the time comes to kill the Heavenly Evil Monarch.” Qin Tian looked at everyone and his robust voice resounded.

Everyone nodded their heads. Not only was Qin Tian the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, but he was also the Palace Lord. The mission of the Great Thousand Palace was to gather every power to resist invaders when the Great Thousand World was being threatened.

“Thank you, everyone.” Qin Tian cupped his fists.

“Senior Qin Tian, when will we make a move?” Mu Chen asked as he looked at Qin Tian.

“There’s still a few hours to go before the Great Thousand Demonic Extinguishing Array reaches a millennium. We have to wait for the circulation to be complete to inject our Spiritual Energy into it and trigger it.” Qin Tian replied.

Nodding his head, Mu Chen closed his eyes and waited.

But at this moment, the Undying Lord was staring at him, leaving him somewhat baffled.

“Little friend...” The Undying Lord stared at Mu Chen as a warming expression rose on his wrinkled face.

After a brief stun, Mu Chen immediately replied, “Senior, you can just call me by my name.”

The Undying Lord’s seniority was unquestionable. Even Qin Tian had to call the former as Senior, so Mu Chen naturally had to maintain his respect.

“Haha.” The Undying Lord smiled. “Little friend, I heard that you’ve obtained the acknowledgment of the Primordial Immortal Body? I wonder if I can take a look at it?”

Hearing those words, Mu Chen briefly hesitated before he nodded his head. With a thought, radiance started emanating from his rear and a silhouette was gradually formed. Although it did not move, it was permeating an ancient and immortality aura that fluctuated within the palace.

Everyone directed their eyes at Mu Chen’s rear. When they saw that ancient figure, they had shock in their eyes. After all, the Primordial Immortal Body never showed itself ever since the war in ancient times.

Only Maha Tian’s gaze was grim. He was tormented with reluctance.

Looking at that figure, the Undying Lord’s wrinkled expression loosened up with deep memories in his eyes. “I never expected that I would be able to see the Primordial Immortal Body once again.”

As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of Mu Chen.

Seeing the Undying Lord’s gesture, Mu Chen was dumbfounded. He had no idea how to respond. After all, with the Undying Lord’s seniority and experience, there weren’t many people in the Great Thousand World that could accept his bow.

“Senior, please don’t.” Mu Chen bitterly smiled.

Shaking his head, the Undying Lord replied, “The Immortal Emperor once left an Eternal Decree. When the Primordial Immortal Body’s new owner appears, we of the Grave Guardians have to submit to him and heed his orders.”

His words instantly caused an uproar in the palace. Even Qin Tian and the Azure Sword Saint had astonishment on their faces as they looked at Mu Chen.

The Grave Guardians were a direct line from the Immortal Emperor, and they were extremely loyal to the latter. Furthermore, they possessed the legacy left by the Immortal Emperor, so they were extremely powerful, and they could be considered as a vital force in the Great Thousand World.

If the Grave Guardians submitted to Mu Chen, then Mu Chen would simply jump to the peak of the Great Thousand World. He would be comparable to even the Five Ancient Clans.

Out of everyone shocked gazes, Maha Tian’s lips twitched with fear in his eyes. If Mu Chen really possessed this power, he wouldn’t need the help of the Ancient Buddha Clan to suppress his Ancient Maha Clan.

While he was feeling shocked, he was also furious. This opportunity was initially something that belonged to their Ancient Maha Clan, but Mu Chen obtained all of it.

Even the West Heaven Battle Emperor’s countenance drastically changed. Shortly after, his expression loosened up, since it was fortunate that his conflict with Mu Chen wasn’t that deep. Mu Chen’s wings have fully grown, and he would definitely reach the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World. Who knows, Mu Chen might even become another Martial Ancestor.

Mu Chen was also shocked at those words. He never expected that the Immortal Emperor would leave an Eternal Decree. Shortly after, his expression returned to normal. “Senior, you’re thinking too highly of me. The Grave Guardians are admirable for their service in the North Desolate Grave. I am not qualified to order the Grave Guardians. So you don’t have to treat it too seriously. You can just maintain the mission to keep the Great Thousand World safe.”

The Grave Guardian’s power was unquestionable and everyone would be tempted to control it. However, Mu Chen wasn’t stupid. Precisely because it’s powerful, it wouldn’t be easy to manage despite the Immortal Emperor’s Eternal Decree. If he forced his way, then he might cause a rebound instead.

The Undying Lord smiled and did not speak any further. He naturally knew what Mu Chen was worried about, since Mu Chen was still too weak at the moment to become the Master of the Grave Guardians. But if there’s a day when he reaches the Immortal Emperor’s height, the Grave Guardians would serve him wholeheartedly.

As the Undying Lord kept his silence, many gazes swept past Mu Chen’s face with a trace of respect.

Under the silence, three hours swiftly passed.

When it was the last moment, the North Desolate Grave suddenly rolled and violently trembled.

As the earth trembled, a roar echoed that contained endless destruction. As if it could overpower the heavens itself.

Those bronze coffins on the field have also started to violently tremble with beams linking together. In just a short breath, it has formed into an ancient array within the North Desolate Grave.

Qin Tian abruptly stood up with a cold gaze. His robe was fluttering with a powerful pressure emanating from his body.

“Everyone, the time has come. Prepare to trigger the array and extinguish the remnant life force of the Heavenly Evil Monarch!”

In the palace, all the Heavenly Sovereigns had a chill flickering in their eyes as they echoed their replies. “Roger!”
