The Great Ruler

Chapter 1512: Aeon Tower Suppressing the Jade Vase

 

Whoosh!

A black-and-white aura permeated the heavens and earth, as if Yin and Yang had met. Everything was steeped in infinite mystery, as the whole world was painted in black-and-white.

Everyone stared in horror at the black-and-white jade vase that was suspended in the air. The power that emanated from it would cause even Heavenly Sovereigns to tremble.

The faces of Qing Yanjing, Ancestor Budur, Great Nether Ancestor and the others twisted as they looked at the black-and-white jade vase in the sky. Fear filled all of their eyes.

This Maha Yin-Yang Vase was the Maha Ancient Clan’s Fortifying Sacred Object, and its power was infinite. Even an ordinary Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereign could not compete with it.

Every time the sacred object was used, it would consume the user’s own power, so unless one was forced into a desperate situation, he would not use it carelessly. It was for this reason that when they saw Maha Tian summon it, they all exclaimed in disbelief.

“Maha Tian has gone mad!” Great Nether Ancestor murmured softly.

Beside him, Luo Li’s face changed as she clenched her fists. Then, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram that was above her head began to bloom with a spiritual light.

“Luo Li, don’t be rash. Although the power of the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram is as powerful as the Maha Yin-Yang Vase, your own strength is not enough to fully activate its power. If you force it, not only will you not succeed, but you will hurt yourself.” After becoming aware of Luo Li’s behavior, Great Nether Ancestor cautioned her hastily.

As Luo Li grit her teeth, a cold and unwilling glint flickered in her eyes as she thought… This Maha Tian’s aggressiveness has gone overboard!

“Rest assured, we will not stand by idly if anything happens to Mu Chen,” Great Nether Ancestor assured her. He was worried that, in a rage, Luo Li would activate the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram, which would inevitably hurt her.

Luo Li clenched her fists tightly. Then, after a while, she loosened her grip and gradually was able to calm her heart.

She understood that it would not help matters if she struck out forcefully. But, if Maha Tian remained relentless, no matter what the cost, she was determined to stand by Mu Chen.

Mu Chen stood in the air, and as he looked at the black-and-white jade bottle, he narrowed his eyes. He could feel the intense power that was emanating from the jade vase.

“Your clan is worthy of being an ancient clan indeed, as your power is remarkable,” Mu Chen murmured. According to his estimation, the power of the black-and-white jade bottle could make it into the top 10 of the Great Thousand World!

Maha Tian’s eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at Mu Chen. Then, with a cold snort, he conjured up several seals.

In the sky, the Maha Yin-Yang Vase slowly tilted, and suddenly, a black-and-white light poured out of it. The black-and-white light was an extremely pure spiritual energy.

One Yin, one Yang, hot and cold, the two met, then evolved into an aura of mystery together. When this aura descended, all of the energy in the heavens and the earth were assimilated into a black-and-white color.

Thus, it was like a sea of black-and-white that flowed down. Then, this raging ocean finally landed on top of the massive Primordial Seals Sphere.

Crash!

black-and-white light and glazed light collided as a shrill sound suddenly burst out. Two terrible forces clashed in the madness.

But this time, as the black-and-white light flowed down continuously, everyone could see that the glazed light above the Primordial Seals Sphere was starting to thin. This was because the power of the Primordial Seals Sphere was being dissolved.

This dissolution lasted for only a moment, while Maha Tian roared violently. The Maha Infinite Body then transformed into a black-and-white pillar of light that immediately bombarded the Primordial Seals Sphere.

Boom!

This time, the black-and-white column of light violently broke through the obstacles, while cracks surfaced on the Primordial Seals Sphere. Then, it finally exploded into numerous spots of light.

As many sovereigns looked upon this scene, they were secretly frightened. With the help of the power of Maha Yin-Yang Vase, Maha Tian had the the ability to fight a later stage Divine Grade head-on!

In the face of such a powerful trump card, even if Mu Chen had the Primordial Immortal Body, he would be at a disadvantage. After all, Mu Chen was just a middle-stage God Grade in terms of his spiritual energy cultivation.

Maha Tian stood on the shoulders of the Maha Infinite Body, staring at Mu Chen coldly. He stretched out his palm as the Maha Yin-Yang Vase fell slowly, causing it to remain suspended above the center of his palm.

“Are you not going to hand over the Primordial Immortal Body?” Maha Tian scoffed, his tone cold and aloof.

“Chief Maha, you really flatter me,” Mu Chen replied.

Maha Tian looked down and whispered, “Though I have not used fair means in this battle, as it’s for the Primordial Immortal Body, my Maha Ancient Clan had no choice.”

As he looked at Mu Chen, his tone softened, “If you can hand over the Primordial Immortal Body, I will give it back to you a hundred years from now.”

Mu Chen shook his head and said, “It is impossible to give it to you now, as the Primordial Immortal Body has already acknowledged me as its owner.”

A chilling glint flashed in Maha Tian’s eyes as he said, “If that is so, then I can only seize it by force!”

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Maha Tian and said, “Chief Maha, although your clan is powerful, you must not think that you have bested me today.”

“Haha!” Maha Tian laughed coldly, while thinking that Mu Chen’s hopes at beating him were futile.

“Well then… I’ll like to see what else you can do?” As soon as Maha Tian raised his palm, the Maha Yin-Yang Vase rose slowly and a terrible wave poured out of the bottle.

“Maha Tian, don’t go too far!” Qing Yanjing could not bear it at last, so she asked in a cold voice, “How dare you force my son’s hand in front of me?”

She was well aware of the Maha Yin-Yang Vase’s power. With this treasure, even in the face of the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and other peak figures, he could surely fight them head-on.

“Mother, don’t worry. Since Maha Tian wants to bring trouble upon himself, just let him do it,” Mu Chen said to his mother.

This remark caused all of the sovereigns to stare at him in disbelief as they wondered… Does Mu Chen still have the ability to withstand Maha Tian, even with the Maha Yin-Yang Vase? But… If so… How was that possible?

Maha Tian’s current state was absolutely enough to withstand a later-stage Divine Grade. Although Mu Chen had a Divine Grade physical body and Primordial Immortal Body, he still could not reach the power of a later stage Divine Grade.

Qing Yanjing was also doubtful, but due to her trust in Mu Chen, after a moment of hesitation, she stepped back and gave in.

“Does this boy have any other means?” Great Nether Ancestor murmured in doubt. At present, it was obvious that Mu Chen could no longer turn the tides.

“What a boastful brat!” Maha Tian smiled out of anger.

Then, without hesitation, he conjured up several seals with both hands. The Maha Yin-Yang Vase then tilted, while the mouth of the bottle flashed with black-and-white light.

A black-and-white torrent rolled out, surging towards Mu Chen. In this black-and-white flood, even a Divine Grade physical body would be turned into nothingness!

Everyone stared anxiously at the battle. Only Mu Chen looked calm as he raised his head and looked at the roaring black-and-white torrent.

He then sighed and turned around. As he bowed respectfully to the ancient Aeon Tower, his clear voice rang out, “Maha Tian is stubborn and relentless, so I’ll have to trouble Elder to strike.”

Buzz!

The very moment that Mu Chen finished speaking, the stone tower suddenly shook. Then, as if there were hundreds of millions of lights converging above it, it absorbed the rolling black-and-white torrent.

Boom!

At the same time, the stone tower suddenly soared into the sky, instantly appearing above the Maha Yin-Yang Vase. Its shadow shrouded it entirely, and after a loud crash, it absorbed it into the tower. It then descended swiftly, landing on the earth again.

Dong!

In the Aeon Tower, it seemed to have caused an indescribable shock, but the standoff lasted for only a moment before calm was restored. In the sky, the black-and-white gas dissipated and the Maha Yin-Yang Vase vanished into thin air.

This scene happened quickly that the stone tower had barely just soared upward before it was descending once again. As it descended, all of heaven and earth were restored to their previous calm.

It was only at this time that the sovereigns reacted. As they looked up at the empty sky, they all descended into an uproar, everyone commenting at the same time.

“What?” Maha Tian and many of the Maha Ancient Clan elders looked at the scene, each of them utterly stunned and appalled.

“What’s going on?” Qing Yanjing wondered aloud.

She, Great Nether Ancestor, and all of the others were equally dumbfounded. They all stared at the stone tower, from which they could faintly feel a mysterious and great power emanating. Even as strong as they were, such strength and power instilled within them a great sense of fear.

“This power…” Qing Yanjing and Budur Xuan looked at each other, as she exclaimed in shock, “It’s the Immortal Emperor!”

That power had surpassed even that of the Divine Grade, and she thought to herself… Apart from the Immortal Emperor, who else could it possibly be?

The horror on Maha Tian’s face was there for a long time before he gradually calmed down. He then glared at Mu Chen, his eyes bloodshot, as he snapped, “Mu Chen, what have you done? Where is the Maha Yin-Yang Vase?”

Mu Chen glanced at him indifferently and said, “The Immortal Emperor had stored the Primordial Immortal Body within the Maha Ancient Clan, and he will naturally prevent you from taking it for your own sake, thus enacting the principle of checks and balances.”

Before, when he had left the Aeon Tower, the tower’s silhouette told him that if the Maha Ancient Clan was difficult, he could summon the power that remained in the tower. That power was left behind by the Immortal Emperor in order to prevent the present-day situation.

Mu Chen had not intended to use it, but Maha Tian was so relentless that he even summoned his Fortifying Sacred Object, which had forced him to use the power that the Immortal Emperor had left.

“The power of this Aeon Tower will last for a year. After that year, the tower will dissipate. At that time, the Maha Yin-Yang Vase will naturally be released,” Maha Tian said.

Mu Chen looked at Maha Tian and asked serenely, “Now that it has come to this, does Chief Maha still want to do this by force?”

Maha Tian’s face twitched and his eyes were bloodshot. His heart was filled with boundless fury, so he had arranged for the Immortal Emperor to guard the Maha Ancient Clan when he had left the Aeon Tower in the past. This made him enraged and filled him with frustration.

“I am the chief of the Maha Ancient Clan, and you… You brat! You will not be the one to try to teach me anything!” Maha Tian roared.

He then added, “Today, I want to see how a fallen Immortal Emperor can suppress my Maha Ancient Clan!”

“If you want to take the Primordial Immortal Body, you’ll have to go to war with my Maha Ancient Clan!” Maha Tian’s low roar rumbled throughout heaven and earth.

“Prepare for war, Maha Ancient Clan!” When the elders of the Maha Ancient Clan heard these words, a terrifying spiritual energy rose into the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this, Qing Yanjing’s and Great Nether Ancestor’s faces turned cold as they thought… This Maha Tian is truly insane!

“If that is the case, then my Budur Ancient Clan will gladly fight this war to the end!” Qing Yanjing took a deep breath and declared coldly.

Great Nether Ancestor sighed, while complex emotions flashed across his face. “If so, my Great Spirit Ancient Clan will have to join too…”

Maha Tian let out a skyward laugh and said in an enraged tone, “Well, my Maha Ancient Clan will challenge you today! Let’s see if you can do anything to us!”

Outside of Aeon City, sovereigns from all sides looked appalled as they wondered… Will these three ancient clans really go to war with one another? If that happens, it’s bound to set off huge waves in the Great Thousand World.

As Mu Chen looked at this scene, his gaze turned cold.

Dong!

As this moment of tension between heaven and earth surged, the chime of an ancient bell was heard from afar. As the bell sounded, Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, Great Nether Ancestor and the other Divine Grades all froze and looked up into the sky.

“This is… The Great Thousand Palace’s Great Thousand Bell?” someone exclaimed.

Under their gazes, a pillar of light emerged from the void, and in that column of light, a strong figure stepped into the air as a wave of pressure soared throughout the world. At the same time, a low and powerful voice reverberated throughout the space…

“I hope that both sides will cease this battle on account of the Great Thousand Palace,” the voice said.

Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, and the others looked at the majestic figure, their faces solemn. They had not expected that this figure would appear today… The Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian!
