The Great Ruler

Chapter 819 - Fifth Grade Sovereign

A vast Spiritual Energy enveloped this region as a great Spiritual Energy pressure emanated, causing even space to undulate. A black figure stood like a demonic god, emitting a dreadful pressure and chill.

Many experts around the plaza had a change in their expressions from the powerful Spiritual Energy pressure being emitted from Qiu Taiyin and could sense that the pressure had surpassed the realm of Fourth Grade Sovereign, it’s at the level of a Fifth Grade Sovereign!

Compared to Qin Zhong, who was half a step into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, Qiu Taiyin was clearly stronger!

Many experts felt startled in their hearts. Qiu Taiyin had already made his breakthrough, it’s no wonder why he was so confident in becoming the tenth King.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s expressions turned grave. As for the other experts, their brows couldn’t help knitting, since they knew how troublesome things would become after Qiu Taaiyin had stepped into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm.

That meant that Qiu Taiyin possessed the true qualifications to be titled a King!

Furthermore, with his strength at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, he could sweep through every expert beneath the Nine Kings.

Under the uproar, Mandala, who sat on her throne, had a faint ripple in her golden pupils. However, she was still overlooking the battle as a superior existence. There weren’t any ripples on her face. It was as if she was a deity overlooking the mortals.

In her eyes, it didn’t matter if Qiu Taiyin was at the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm or the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, he was still an ant in her eyes. If it wasn’t for the military distribution before the Hunting War, she would have probably made her move and have him killed. In the eyes of an Earth Sovereign powerhouse, the so-called “rules” could be easily changed with a whim of her heart.

But, right now, she could clearly not do that, causing a hint of a chill to flash across her golden pupils.

On the King’s Ceremony Stage, Qin Zhong’s face was also unsightly as he looked at Qiu Taiyin. The powerful pressure emanated from the latter made even him feel a little pressured.

Although he had come in contact with the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, he had not broken through to that level yet. That step was similar to ascending the heavens.

“Admit defeat, you don’t have a chance.” Qiu Taiyin crossed his arms across his chest as he gave Qin Zhong a faint smile.

Qin Zhong’s face changed as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. There wasn’t a hint of admitting defeat in his eyes. No matter what his chances were, he definitely would not admit defeat in the midst of a battle.

Qin Zhong gave Qiu Taiyin a glance, before his face gradually turned solemn. His hands joined together and a glittering jade-coloured light burst out from his body. At the same time, the Jade Cauldron Celestial Body beneath his feet had also burst forth with a dazzling light.

Many experts narrowed their eyes. They had all seen through Qin Zhong’s thoughts of going all-out.

“Stubborn.” Qiu Taiyin narrowed his eyes as he lightly shook his head and spoke with a voice that only he could hear.

Boom!

A dazzling light seemed to have enveloped half of the horizon as a shocking jade-coloured light gathered above Qin Zhong, before forming into a jade cauldron that was roughly the size of a thousand feet.

The ancient cauldron was engraved with profound runes. As the runes flickered, the Spiritual Energy in this region was endlessly being sucked into something similar to a wind tunnel.

A powerful pressure spread out along with it.

Many experts had grim expressions. Although Qin Zhong had yet to step into the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, his strength was not something to be underestimated. So this move of his was exceptionally powerful.

“Jade Cauldron Divine Art - Heavenly Cauldron Forms the Starry River!”

A light shot from both of Qin Zhong’s eyes as his voice rumbled like thunder. His seals changed as the Spiritual Energy in his body gushed out, pouring into the huge cauldron.

Whoosh!

The huge cauldron soared into the sky, forming into a huge jade-coloured current as it swept through the horizon. Space shattered as countless jade sparkles floated in the sky, looking like a starry river.

Many experts wore grave expressions as they watched this attack. This was the most powerful attack that Qin Zhong possessed after putting all his force into it. It was an attack that could kill any expert at the same level.

However, when the jade-coloured current whistled over, Qiu Taiyin still maintained an indifferent expression, there was only a faint, cold light that flashed in his eyes. He raised his head as the boundless jade-coloured current filled his pupils.

“I’ll let you know how great of a difference it is compared to a Fifth Grade Sovereign.” Qiu Taiyin indifferently smiled as he slowly raised his right hand. His entire arm was swiftly turning black. It was so much so that there was a black starchy liquid dripping from his fingertips.

Buzz!

The huge Great Yin Celestial Body trembled beneath his feet as countless black lights shot out from the black Sovereign Celestial Body, swiftly gathering at Qiu Taiyin’s fingertips.

Whizzz! Whizzz!

The black lights swiftly gathered, forming into a hundred-foot black crescent moon within a few breaths’ time above Qiu Taiyin’s fingertips. The crescent moon was emitting an endless chill and even the atmosphere was frozen by it.

Drops of black liquid dripped from the black crescent moon. When it occasionally dripped down, it had directly corroded space and disappeared, displaying its terrifying corrosive ability.

“Great Yin Divine Art - Great Yin Moon!”

An indifferent voice came from Qiu Taiyin’s mouth as he flicked his finger. The black crescent moon that was emitting a horrifying chill had directly pierced through space, before clashing with the jade-coloured current!

Boom!

The sound from their collision was like two currents clashing together. In that instant, even the heavens and earth were trembling.

Many experts raised their heads as they looked at the point of collision. Space violently distorted at the point of collision as the crescent moon and current frantically unleashed their power, attempting to destroy the other party.

However, Qiu Taiyin had gotten the upper hand in the clash. As the chill corroded, there were black icicles slowly appearing on the jade current.

Qin Zhong’s face gradually turned pale.

“As I have said, you are not my opponent.” A cold smile rose on Qiu Taiyin’s face as his expression suddenly turned cold and his seals changed.

Boom!

The chill from the black crescent moon expanded, turning into a dark light that streaked across the horizon. Instantly, the jade-coloured current was quickly broken apart, before forming into sparkles of light that exploded.

Pffft.

When the jade-coloured current shattered, Qin Zhong’s face turned pale and he spat a mouthful of blood out.

Qiu Taiyin’s gaze turned cold and his figure suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a black long pike had appeared from the hand of the Great Yin Celestial Body that stabbed forth, piercing through space.

The long spear had directly pierced through space and appeared before the Jade Cauldron Celestial Body, then swiftly pierced the Jade Cauldron Celestial Body. A black chill spread out from it and caused a layer of ice to appear on the surface of the Jade Cauldron Celestial Body.

Qin Zhong’s face drastically changed.

“Worry about yourself, first!” A cold voice came from his rear as a figure appeared in a flash. Qiu Taiyin cast an extremely cold glance at Qin Zhong. As he spoke, he had given a sharp kick that flashed with afterimages, along with a power that could crush mountains, and landed on Qin Zhong’s chest.

Pfft!

Qin Zhong suffered a heavy attack and spat another mouthful of blood from his mouth, before his figure descended from the sky like a cannonball, and making a thousand-foot deep mark on the King’s Ceremony Stage.

Boom!

When Qin Zhong suffered the heavy attack, the Jade Cauldron Celestial Body had shattered and dissipated into sparkles of light.

The entire region was quiet, with many experts watching this scene with shaken expressions. No one expected for Qin Zhong to be defeated so easily.

The eyes of the various Kings had narrowed, since Qiu Taiyin’s strength was truly not something to be underestimated.

The brows of Mu Chen and Nine Nether had knitted as well. So Qin Zhong was, indeed, not Qiu Taiyin’s opponent?

Under the many gazes, the Great Yin Celestial Body beneath Qiu Taiyin had gradually dissipated as he crossed his arms. His figure slowly descended, before landing on the King’s Ceremony Stage.

He cast an indifferent glance at the gravely-wounded Qin Zhong. That earlier kick of his had caused the Great Yin Chill to invade into the latter’s body, causing the latter to be unable to move.

The outcome of this battle was obvious.

Defeating Qin Zhong, Qiu Taiyin directed his gaze towards the direction of Mandala as a revered expression rose on his face. He bowed and cupped his fists. “Domain Lord, is there an outcome to this King’s Ceremony Battle?”

When he spoke, many gazes were directed at Mu Chen with abnormal looks. Anyone knew that Mu Chen was the third person qualified to be bestowed the kingship.

But Qiu Taiyin’s actions had clearly disregarded Mu Chen.

Obviously, Qiu Taiyin did not feel that Mu Chen could threaten his path of becoming a King.

Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he gently pursed up his lips.

“Mu Chen… why don’t you give up this time.” Tang Bing briefly hesitated, before speaking in a soft voice. After witnessing the strength that Qiu Taiyin had displayed, she couldn’t help worrying for Mu Chen.

That’s because Qiu Taiyin was a genuine Fifth Grade Sovereign. Aside from Nine Nether, there was probably not anyone that could fight him.

“Treat the 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid as the assistance from the Nine Nether Palace.” Tang Bing added.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen couldn’t help speechlessly looking at her. 

Nine Nether also had her brows slightly knitted as she looked at Mu Chen and said in a soft voice, “Even Qin Zhong was not his opponent. If you go up…I’m afraid that your chances of winning aren’t high.”

She had some understanding about Mu Chen’s strength. But this Qiu Taiyin wasn’t in the list of people that Mu Chen could fight with his strength at Third Grade Sovereign.

The entire region was quiet as everyone directed their gazes at Mu Chen. Even Mandala, who was seated on her golden throne, had slowly shifted her eyes over.

Practically everyone was waiting for Mu Chen’s response.

Under the innumerable gazes, Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as a smile appeared on his face. There wasn’t any fear in that smile of his.

Looking at Mu Chen’s smile, Nine Nether and Tang Bing knew his decision.

Mu Chen’s feet tapped on the ground and his figure appeared on the King’s Ceremony Stage, before cupping his fists towards Qiu Taiyin with a smile. His clear voice resounded as well, causing a commotion in this region.

“Nine Nether Palace’s Mu Chen is here to seek some teachings from Sect Master Qiu.”
