The Great Ruler Chapter 1477 – Fifty Million Battle Runes

The grayish-white bone plate appeared in the Ghost Emperor’s hand. It had a shiny surface, so the plate looked more like a bone mirror. The ancient runes were carved into the side of the mirror, and they released a vague, yet stunning spiritual energy fluctuation.

When this ancient mirror surfaced, Mu Chen sensed its presence. He immediately narrowed his eyes, and his expression turned solemn. “Such a fluctuation, is it a God Grade Rare Divine Artifact?”

Such a fluctuation like this was considered one of the strongest and rarest among all the God Grade Rare Divine Artifacts. He had never expected that the Ghost Emperor would possess such a precious item. That item was why the Ghost Emperor had such confidence.

“Master of the Mu Estate, I didn’t want to use this item, but since you’re so obstinate, don’t blame me for it.” The Ghost Emperor held the bone mirror and smiled at Mu Chen creepily. “Since you have a strong foundation, you don’t have to worry that I will really kill you, but you will have to pay a hefty price!”

Mu Chen remained unmoved and said emotionlessly, “I’m afraid you’re not capable of doing so.”

Even though the Ghost Emperor possessed the strength of a middle-stage God Grade, he could not hold a candle to Huang Xuanzhi with his combat power. After all, the latter was a supreme talent who had challenged jumping the levels. Since Mu Chen could defeat Huang Xuanzhi, he naturally would not be scared of this Ghost Emperor.

Of course, the Ghost Emperor might have already known about this. Hence, he had never intended to fight Mu Chen alone, and only dared to challenge Mu Chen after joining forces with the other four God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.

“I dare you to!”

Upon hearing Mu Chen’s neutral tonality, a hideous expression flashed on the Ghost Emperor’s face. Immediately, he formed a seal with both hands at lightning speed. The bone mirror in his hand transformed into a beam of white light that shot up into the sky. The light grew as the wind blew. After a few minutes, it transformed into a tall and massive bone mirror suspended in the air.

“Let’s do it together!” the Ghost Emperor exclaimed in a low voice as he looked at Ancestor Danyang and the rest.

They, of course, knew about the unique mightiness of this bone mirror. All of them nodded with ruthless expressions. They rapidly made seals. In the next moment, five stunning light pillars soared into the sky from the heads of their five giant Sovereign Celestial Appearances. All the light pillars rushed into the enormous bone mirror.

Weng!

Five light pillars with boundless spiritual energy all rushed into the bone mirror, and the mirror’s surface rippled furiously. Indescribable fluctuations started to gather and condense on the mirror’s surface. The air around the bone mirror showed signs of collapse as though it could not contain that kind of spiritual energy fluctuation.

At the square, Nine Nether and Ancestor Xuan Tian could sense the fluctuations gathered at the bone mirror’s surface. Their expressions could not help but change, as they could tell that the bone mirror was actually drawing spiritual energy from the Ghost Emperor and the other four.

All their spiritual energies were quite daunting. If they were to come into contact with one another, they would repel each other. However, with the help of the mysterious bone mirror, the energies could merge together.

This time, it would not be five of them launching their individual attacks, but rather it was the merging of their energies. This kind of assault could even kill a middle-stage God Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Apparently, this should be the last killing blow from the Ghost Emperor and the rest.

The experts and the top-notch forces from the Tianluo Continent also shared the same sentiment. Hence, their expressions turned solemn, as they knew that the one who emerged as the winner from this battle would be the overlord of the Tianluo Continent.

“Judging from the situation, the Master of the Mu Estate seems to be in danger. The power gathered by the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns using the bone mirror will destructively overturn the earth. Middle-stage God Grade Sovereigns could get killed, let alone middle-stage Spiritual Grade Sovereigns.”

“The Master of the Mu Estate is still too young. These old men are as cunning as foxes. If they have no secret weapon, why would they choose to challenge him at this time?”

“If he is defeated, the Mu Estate will have to leave the Tianluo Continent. All these years of effort would have been in vain.”

Countless whisperings spread around in between heaven and earth, but Mu Chen turned a totally deaf ear to them. He squinted slightly while staring at the colossal bone mirror. The spiritual energy fluctuations gathered on top could not be underestimated.

Boom!

Boundless spiritual energies gathered on the bone mirror and transformed into a Spiritual Energy Thunderbolt that rumbled non-stop as it exuded destructive fluctuations.

The Ghost Emperor stood under the bone mirror and felt the spiritual energy that was equally terrifying to him. The coldness on his face intensified as he stared at Mu Chen from a distance. With a creepy smile, he gently waved his palm.

“I will let you have a taste of the power of this Ancient Divine Merging Mirror.” As his voice faded, the bone mirror suddenly jerked, and the mirror’s surface shined from above. The light beam penetrated the air and locked onto Mu Chen like a spotlight.

Boom!

In the next moment, radiant spiritual light started to dance and wrestle fiercely on the mirror’s surface. Eventually, it shrank. Within a few breaths, the 1,000-foot-tall light pillar compacted into a palm-sized silver light beam. Although its size was compressed by multiple folds, the entire universe seemed to be torn apart the moment the silver light beam shot out. All living things withered as the silver light beam passed through.

Looking at the palm-sized silver light beam, Mu Chen’s expression grew more grim as he could feel the coldness brought by the killing intent contained within the beam. Mu Chen took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. Vast fighting spirit rushed into the sky and infused the Fighting Spirit Dragon.

The Fighting Spirit Dragon roared in the air as the mighty fighting spirit continued to pour into its body. Its body was already huge, but it inflated even more at lightning speed. More importantly, many battle runes surfaced without stopping on the vast body.

Ten million, 30,000,000, 40,000,000…

Given Mu Chen’s current ability, he could circulate millions of battle runes gathered by the Mystery Dragon Army. Generally, 10,000,000 battle runes could stand up against Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. With 40,000,000 battle runes, it was not any weaker than any God Grade Heavenly Sovereign! At this moment, Mu Chen had already drawn out the fighting spirit from this Mystery Dragon Army without any reservation.

Shoo!

At the same time, the palm-sized silver light beam penetrated the air, charging at him with a dazzling light ray.

Roar!

The Fighting Spirit Dragon bellowed. It opened its huge mouth and spurted out a ball of gigantic dragon breath with 40,000,000 battle runes on it.

Dong!

The rumbling dragon breath finally collided with the tiny silver light beam. When the two distinctive masses hit, the rumbling dragon breath started to crumble rapidly. The dragon breath dispersed as the silver light beam passed through it.

“Mu Chen, 40,000,000 battle runes were indeed formidable. But to think you’ll stop our joint forces with it, I’m afraid you’re too naïve!” The Ghost Emperor could not help but sneer as he looked at the destructive silver light beam.

Mu Chen stared indifferently at the beam as it defeated the dragon breath with 40,000,000 battle runes within a short span of time. He took a deep breath and flicked his finger. A ring on one of his fingers started to blink with luminous light. The luminous light spread from behind, and another 5,000 soldiers of the Mystery Dragon Army emerged.

Mu Chen wanted to keep this trump card hidden, but given his current situation, he now had to go all-out. “Release all your fighting spirit!” Mu Chen’s quiet command was heard by every soldier of the Mystery Dragon Army. The next moment, their eyes turned blood-red, and low moans echoed, signaling their war desire.

Weng!

Fifteen thousand beams of fighting spirit shot towards the sky. Each of them was refined and resilient. Eventually, the beams rushed into the Fighting Spirit Dragon’s body.

Roar!

The Fighting Spirit Dragon roared continuously, and its body was inflated once again. The battle runes on its body began to increase exponentially.

Thirty-two million, 35,000,000, 40,000,000, 45,000,000…

As the battle runes grew in numbers non-stop, daunting oppression began to loom over the entire area, and the land turned dark.

The Ghost Emperor, Ancestor Danyang, and the rest observed the changes, and their expressions grew cold. Forty-five million battle runes were good enough to send chills down the middle-stage God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns’ spines.

“This fellow is persistence!” The Ghost Emperor gritted his teeth and formed seals once again. The dazzling silver light beam sped up and intended to tear that Fighting Spirit Dragon apart in the next minute.

Mu Chen lifted his head and watched the enormous Fighting Spirit Dragon. His eyes were filled with blood vessels. Fresh blood even flowed out from them, as he had reached his maximum for circulating the fighting spirit.

He stared hard at the Fighting Spirit Dragon. On its massive body, the number of battle runes continued to increase at an amazing speed. As the number of the battle runes surged, his eyes filled up with blood as though they were going to tear apart.

Fifty million…

When the battle runes hit 50,000,000, they finally stopped increasing. A tear of blood fell from the corner of Mu Chen’s eye. He casually wiped it away and took a deep breath.

Fifty million battle runes were the maximum the Mystery Dragon Army could generate. Perhaps it was still slightly off from what they could do in their prime, but even so, a later-stage God Grade Heavenly Sovereign would not dare to belittle it. Any person below that level would get themselves slaughtered.

“Go on.” Mu Chen rubbed his weary brow, but immense harshness and killing intent surged from his bloodshot eyes. He stretched out a finger and tapped in the air.

Roar!

In the next moment, the huge Fighting Spirit Dragon’s body transformed into a beam of gray light and shot out. Countless gazes watched together as it crushed the destructive silver beam that contained the power of the five God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns.
