Chapter 1563: The Final Battle
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Radiant spiritual light dazzled between heaven and earth. With the Heaven’s Declaration, Mu Chen instantly possessed an indescribable, awe-imposing prestige. Every move he made could trigger the Ultimate Force of the World.
“Congratulations to Master Mu on becoming the Great Ruler!” All the experts on the Spirit Demon Continent broke into roaring cheers as their thunderous voices echoed throughout the world.
The entire world had been plunged into depression earlier because of the Heavenly Evil Deity. No one expected the situation would take a twist again. Someone from the Great Thousand World finally left his complete name on the Heaven’s Declaration and became the first Great Ruler expert!
The happiness that came after surviving a disaster drove everyone crazy. As they called out Master Mu’s name, their eyes were filled with passion and excitement.
While the world screamed with joy, the Heaven’s Declaration slowly disappeared as the glow around Mu Chen dissipated, too. At this point, he looked like an ordinary man, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in his body.
Mu Chen went up to the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor. He cupped his fist and said, “I took the lead before you. I hope you two seniors will not blame me for it.”
Upon hearing his apology, the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor chortled and replied, “This is a critical moment for the Great Thousand World. Our priority is to stop the Heavenly Evil Deity. You stood out bravely for this challenge. Come to think of it, we owe you one instead.”
Mu Chen shook his head and answered, “I got these opportunities and took the lead due to the crisis of the Great Thousand World. This is, in fact, taking a short cut. However, you two seniors were only a step away from having your complete names on the Heaven’s Declaration because of years of experience and cultivation. Both of you did it without the help of any Primitive Celestial Bodies. Based on this, I cannot be comparable to you.”
What Mu Chen said was true. According to his estimation, he needed at least hundreds of years of cultivation in order to reach his current level. However, no one expected the Great Thousand World to experience such a predicament. Hence, he had to force himself to exploit all his potential and make use of all the opportunities he had to reach the peak.
If the Great Thousand World were not experiencing the calamity, the first to make it to the Heaven’s Declaration would have been the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor instead of him.
The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor looked at each other and gave a gentle smile. “A hero is known in the time of misfortune. It has always been so. The two of us have made our names, and we have also relied on those unfortunate situations. In this world, not many people could rise by making use of it, but you did. That was your sharp judgment and ability. So, you don’t have to humble yourself. Now, the responsibility of dealing with the Heavenly Evil Deity is on your shoulders. The two of us will be assisting you by the side.”
Mu Chen bowed with his fist cupped and said formally, “I’ll not let you down.”
No further words were said. Mu Chen lifted his chin and looked with his fierce and sharp eyes in the direction where the Heavenly Evil Deity was. The Heavenly Evil Deity was also looking cold and creepy at this moment. Endless black radiance was flickering within the tenth eye.
“Unexpected!” The evil eyes of the Heavenly Evil Deity glared at Mu Chen. “I thought the biggest enemies that I was going to face were the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor. I did not expect you to reach the peak first.”
“Millions of spiritual beings in the Great Thousand World are not willing to be enslaved. Someone would have to rise to stop this. Even if that person was not me, there would be someone else who would do so,” said Mu Chen nonchalantly.
The Heavenly Evil Deity gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Some luck that the Great Thousand World has to make a comeback!” His voice was filled with anger and hatred. When his tenth eye had appeared, the Heavenly Evil Deity thought he was winning for sure. No one had expected that Mu Chen could complete inscribing his full name at this time.
The Heavenly Evil Deity understood that once the complete name was left on the Heaven’s Declaration, that would mean Mu Chen could circulate the Ultimate Force of the World. The Great Thousand World was equivalent to his home ground with unlimited enhancements. Today’s battle would be a fearsome one.
With a morose expression, the Heavenly Evil Deity breathed in hard. A black glow suddenly darted out from the evil eye at the glabella before it finally gathered on his palm. A long, black spear a dozen feet long slowly emerged in his hand.
“Ten-Eyes Nether Demon Spear!” The long spear was pitch-black in color with ten creepy-looking evil eyes on it. As the eyes batted, they released an extremely devilish aura. Daunting fluctuation spread and quaked the entire Lower Planes.
Ding!
The Heavenly Evil Deity held the Demonic Spear and stomped his feet. Immediately, the space below him cracked and spread out like a spiderweb. He stared fiercely at Mu Chen and said in a spine-chilling tone, “Today, I’ll see what you can do to me with your complete name on the declaration!”
Mu Chen fixed his eyes on the Demonic Spear in the Heavenly Evil Deity’s hand. He squinted slightly. Apparently, the Heavenly Evil Deity had started giving his best since he had taken out this Demonic Spear, which had never appeared before.
“Weapon…” Mu Chen pondered slightly before he swung his robe. Tremendous spiritual energy gathered between heaven and earth. Eventually, a blazing fire started to burn and quickly escalated to a sea of fire. Soon after, he flicked his finger, and a black spotlight darted out to the fire that was burning with spiritual energy.
The black spotlight was a large, black pillar, the Great Meru Demonic Pillar—a weapon Mu Chen used to wield in the past. However, as his strength improved, he used it less and less frequently. Given his current level, he could make his own weapon that surpassed any Rare Divine Artifact. In that case, he could use the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as raw material.
Blaze!
As the fire continued to burn, the high temperature quickly melted the Great Meru Demonic Pillar as black liquid flowed within it. I’m still short of some enhancing materials. Mu Chen looked at the flowing black liquid and flicked his finger once again. The sound of a sword being drawn was heard. Mu Chen threw the crystal-clear Celestial Emperor Sword into the fire, too.
The Celestial Emperor Sword was broken to begin with, and the energy within it was depleted. But given the material of the sword, it could be melted and used to cast the strongest weapon in the Great Thousand World.
The Celestial Emperor Sword quickly melted into a transparent liquid. Finally, it merged with the black liquid under Mu Chen’s control. A form quickly took shape. Mu Chen hurriedly circulated and poured the Spiritual Energy of the Universe into it. At the same time, Mu Chen used his mind to control and pour the Ultimate Force of the World into the mixture.
Boom!
Within a dozen breaths, an earth-shaking sound projected from the fire. Next, everyone saw a black light pillar suspended in front of Mu Chen. The glow around the pillar dissipated revealing an object which highly resembled the Great Meru Demonic Pillar except for the absence of the devilish vibe. Instead, it had become thicker and stronger like an unshakeable pillar from Heaven.
“From now on, your name is Great Meru Divine Pillar!” Upon hearing it, the Great Meru Divine Pillar immediately exploded with a dazzling glow. It looked like it was cheering with joy, revealing a strong sense of sagacity.
Mu Chen swung his palm. The Great Meru Divine Pillar quickly shrank in size and transformed into a rod Mu Chen held in his hand. Space was broken down into fragments as he shook the rod gently while pointing it at the Heavenly Evil Deity.
“Hmph.” The Heavenly Evil Deity snorted. With the Demonic Spear in one hand, he stepped forward and appeared in front of Mu Chen. He wielded his Demonic Spear, sweeping up a million beams of Demonic Light. Each beam of Demonic Light came with the power to destroy a continent.
Mu Chen held his Great Meru Divine Pillar in one hand without any fear. He charged forward with the Divine Pillar that contained the vast and mighty Ultimate Force of the World.
Dang!
The Demonic Spear and the Divine Pillar clashed hard with one another as the extremely destructive force rippled out thousands of miles.
The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor stepped back at this time. They joined forces to drive spiritual energy into the Lower Planes so that it could form a strong layer of protection over it. This could prevent the destructive damage caused by the battle from spilling over into the Great Thousand World.
Dang! Dang!
Many people watched the battle taking place in the Lower Planes with horror as the two figures were twisting and turning together. Every clash of the Demonic Spear and the Divine Pillar would bring about a destructive windstorm. Even with the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor’s shielding, the fluctuation that passed through did not fail to strike fear into many experts.
Roar!
While the destructive confrontation persisted, the Heavenly Evil Deity let out a low groan as all his attacks were being blocked. His face showed a hideous expression while the black liquid ran down his body. On his body’s surface, the black liquid formed an extremely ferocious and ugly Demonic Armor. The Heavenly Evil Deity looked like a destructive Demonic God now.
Dang!
Within 30 minutes, the two of them had exchanged more than thousands of blows. The universe was losing its energy, and the sky was dark. All the spiritual beings were in fear.
However, all the spiritual beings in the Great Thousand World could ease their minds slightly. Even though the Heavenly Evil Deity launched a harsh and violent offense, Mu Chen did not show any signs of losing. With the help of the Ultimate Force of the World, Mu Chen’s strength was not any weaker than the Ten-Eyes Heavenly Evil Deity.
Dong!
The Demonic Spear and the Divine Pillar knocked against each other violently with a destructive impact rippling out. Mu Chen and the Heavenly Evil Deity received the blow and staggered back. Space under their feet continued to collapse.
“Heavenly Evil Deity, the Great Thousand World is my home ground now. It will do you no good if you persist in attacking it.” Mu Chen pounded his Divine Pillar on the ground while staring at the Heavenly Evil Deity.
“D*mn it! D*mn it! You are doomed!” The expression on the Heavenly Evil Deity’s face was rather hideous as the evil eye flickered non-stop. Staring at Mu Chen with hard and cold radiance, he knew that the stalemate situation was a disadvantage for him.
“Since you wish for early death, I’ll give it to you! Ten-Eyes Demon Golem, Engulfing the Universe!” the Heavenly Evil Deity bellowed in a low voice. The next moment, endless demonic light swept out from his body and gathered behind him. Gradually, it transformed into a Demonic God Shadow, which was so huge that there was no end to it. The Demonic God seemed to have connected heaven and earth. On his gigantic body, ten evil eyes were batting while they exuded fearful and devilish fluctuations.
Upon seeing that Demonic God Shadow, the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were slightly stunned. It seemed like the Heavenly Evil Deity was going to explode all his strength.
Boom!
All ten evil eyes on the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem looked towards Mu Chen. Instantly, a beam of boundless demonic light dashed out and appeared in front of Mu Chen.
Dong!
The Great Meru Divine Pillar in Mu Chen’s hand increased its size and became enormous like one of the pillars in Heaven. The Divine Pillar slammed hard onto the demonic light without any mercy.
Rumble!
As the Great Meru Divine Pillar struck against the Demonic Light, Mu Chen was thrown back thousands of miles by a daunting force.
“Get ready to die!” the Heavenly Evil Deity bellowed with the evil eyes on the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem flickering non-stop. Beams of destructive demonic light concealed the sky as they shot out. Judging from the imposing manner, the attack would not stop unless Mu Chen was dead.
“Oh dear!” When the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor saw this, their expressions changed. The attack from the Heavenly Evil Deity was too fast and furious.
Just when they were about to lend Mu Chen a helping hand, an ancient glowing figure swept out from afar. Like a mirror without a reflection, all the incoming demonic light was absorbed by that mysterious glow. After a short while, the demonic light finally came to a halt.
The Heavenly Evil Deity looked at the faraway land with a darkened expression while Mu Chen stood in the air with ancient spiritual light glowing behind him. Amid the light was a figure standing right there. The glowing figure looked exactly like Mu Chen. Behind the back of its head, there was a light halo in five different colors. Each of them exuded extremely ancient fluctuations.
If anyone tried to focus on the sense of the fluctuations, they would realize that these were the fluctuations of the Primordial Immortal Body, Endless Light Body, Great Spirit Sacred Body, Ancient Body of the Night Deity, and the Desolate Ancestor Body.
Mu Chen stood in the air and projected out in a low voice, “Alpha World Body!” Previously, when the four bodies integrated into one, it formed a new Sovereign Celestial Body. The new Sovereign Celestial Body was extremely abstruse and powerful as it collected all the strengths of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies.
“Take that, too!” Mu Chen stared fiercely at the Heavenly Evil Deity while forming a seal with both hands. The five-colored rings at the back of the glowing figure’s head suddenly descended from the sky and appeared above the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem.
“Five-Ancestors Exterminating Demon Rings!” The five-colored rings gave off dazzling radiance as they vaguely revealed the five ancient Primitive Celestial Bodies. As the spiritual light gathered, it formed into a spiritual glow that looked like flames. The flame-like spiritual light then poured onto the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem.
Roar!
Dazzled by the ancient spiritual glow, the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem let out a deafening groan as the demonic light on the enormous body was diminishing. It looked like it was being melted by the ancient spiritual glow.
“Demon, Devours!” Sensing the changes in his surroundings, the Heavenly Evil Deity dared not hesitate. With a low bellow, the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem drew in the air as the boundless demonic aura gathered and compressed in his mouth. “Demon, Spurts!”
Boom!
The next moment, an extremely dark demonic sea gushed and swept towards the five-colored rings. It successfully defended the spiritual flame that poured continuously onto the golem.
Back in the Great Thousand World, many people watched the mirror anxiously. Everyone could tell that the battle between both parties had climaxed. Different killing blows sprang out one after another. Any carelessness from either side would become a loophole that would risk turning the tables.
“The Heavenly Evil Deity is getting anxious.” After watching the confrontation, it was not difficult for the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor to realize that Mu Chen was getting the upper hand as time passed. After all, they were in the Great Thousand World. On home ground, Mu Chen could easily use unlimited Ultimate Force of the World to fight against the Heavenly Evil Deity.
Apparently, the Heavenly Evil Deity also noticed it. Hence, his expression was getting colder and more ferocious. The Heavenly Evil Deity stood below the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem as his tenth eye flickered crazily at the glabella. After a while, he revealed a hideous expression. “Since you’re so aggressive, then don’t blame me for this!” He knew that if he could not break this stalemate situation, he would be defeated.
Boom!
The Ten-Eyes Demon Golem carrying the Heavenly Evil Deity transformed into a beam of demonic light and soared into the sky. As the ten eyes flickered, they tore the space and appeared in the sky outside of the Spirit Demon Continent. As the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem roared into the sky, the deafening demonic roar echoed throughout the Great Thousand World. “Million Demons to Avichi, Demon Hell arrives!”
Boom!
When the bellow trailed off, many demonic figures from the Extraterritorial Race’s army let out dreadful screams. Then, they exploded on their own. The explosion caused a bloody mist in the air.
The Ten-Eyes Demon Golem opened its mouth and swallowed the spreading bloody mist. Forming a seal with its enormous hand, the great body exploded with overwhelming Demonic Current gushing out. The Demonic Current penetrated the air and multiplied by millions as it rushed towards every corner of the Great Thousand World.
At this moment, people on all the continents of the Great Thousand World watched the destructive Demonic Current gushing through the air in horror. The overwhelming waves looked as though they were going to devour the land. All the experts on the Spirit Demon Continent were petrified.
As millions of Demonic Currents broke through the space and rushed towards the Great Thousand World, the evil voice of the Heavenly Evil Deity projected out. “Haha, since you want to protect the Great Thousand World, I’ll destroy it all!”
Three figures including Mu Chen, the Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor appeared in the sky of the Spirit Demon Continent. They watched the endless Demonic Current with horrified expressions.
“This fellow is crazy. By exploding the Ten-Eyes Demon Golem, he will sustain severe injuries, too!” said the Flame Emperor sternly.
“We must stop this. Otherwise, the Great Thousand World will suffer a great loss,” the Martial Ancestor replied.
“But millions of Avichi Demonic Currents have already gushed towards the Great Thousand World. It’s not going to be easy if we want to stop it.” The Flame Emperor knit his eyebrow.
At this time, all the continents of the Great Thousand World were in chaos. Many of the spiritual beings were shuddering in fear as they watched the descending Demonic Current. Once the Demonic Current reached them, the entire world would turn into hell.
A spiritual glow flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes, reflecting the chaotic continents of the Great Thousand World. He said in a low voice, “That Demonic Current devoured all the vitality and grew stronger while doing so. The Heavenly Evil Deity is also hidden in it, devouring countless blood essences of the spiritual beings just to make himself stronger.”
The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor narrowed their eyes and asked, “All the more we reason should stop him. Do you have any idea how?”
Mu Chen sat cross-legged in the sky and nodded. “Don’t worry. If I let him get his way, then I will have let the Great Thousand World down. Since he wanted to split himself into millions to devour the spiritual beings, I’ll show him the outstanding power when we gather the millions of spiritual beings together.”
