The Great Ruler

A scroll of Dark Demonic Painting unrolled slowly as it concealed the sky in the empty space. Demonic aura soared above the painting and gave out deafening demonic screams as though millions of demons were roaring together.

As the Demonic Painting fully revealed itself, five large evil eyes could be seen in the painting. Ruthless and destructive looks filled the eyes that were opening slowly.

Many Heavenly Sovereigns within the Northern Wilderness Hill felt the chills as they stared into the five evil eyes on the Demonic Painting. The spiritual energies within their bodies almost attacked themselves. The experience was so terrifying that they quickly turned away to avoid direct eye contact.

Boom!

While the Demonic Painting was unrolling itself, the large Flame Lotus of the Flame Emperor whizzed over. As the petals of the lotus slowly unfolded, destructive mightiness emanated with bright colors surrounding it.

The Flame Lotus spun as it flashed across the space, leaving a beautiful flaming tail behind it. The Flame Lotus did not hesitate at all even when the overspreading Demonic Painting was right before it. It beamed into a ray of flame and bang itself directly on it.

When the two came in contact, it was the perfect moment when the Flame Lotus gave off its brightest glow. Immediately, endless flames exploded as though millions of volcanoes erupted at the same time. The dazzling flame filled the entire space.

Rumble!

A deafening explosion was heard, and the Northern Wilderness Hill was shaken by it. Even though they were far away from the battlefield, numerous experts from both sides could feel their bodies burning due to the searing heatwave that swept out.

Spiritual light and demonic aura released from the experts’ bodies. All of them were doing their best to defend the destructive temperature.

Weng!

As the Flame Lotus bloomed to its maximum, the destructive heat stopped at nothing to devour the Demonic Painting. At this time, the Demonic Painting began its retaliation. The five evil eyes exploded multiples of Dark Demonic Runes out of the blue.

These runes were engraved with extremely evil power. Even a little stain in the runes would pollute the spiritual energy within the bodies of Divine Grade experts, and their physical bodies would be ruined. This was how tyranny and merciless the runes were.

Countless Demonic Runes gathered together to form a Demonic Current that collided with the dazzling flame. Both of them began to devour each other madly.

As they devoured each other, the space around them had turned into a disastrous state.

The two forces confronted each other without stopping. However, a third powerful force joined in the battle at this time. Eight ancient charms turned into beams of exterminating lights as it whizzed over and banged onto the Demonic Painting barbarically.

Boom!

As if a firework was lighted in the sky, the glaring ray that came from the confrontation of the three powerful forces was blinding. Most of the Divine Grade Sovereigns and Heaven Demon Emperors avoided direct eye contact. They could only peek out from their squinted eyes.

The sound of the non-stop explosion continued to be heard from that space. Every spill-over ripple that spread out could strike fear to the top-notch experts from both sides.

That kind of power could really decide the fate of the world.

The destructive impact wave lasted for dozens of minutes before it gradually subsided.

The experts from both sides turned to look at the result of the confrontation in the air almost at the same time. In the previous exchange, both parties gave their best and wielded their power to the maximum.

All the domineering killing moves were good enough to destroy a continent.

Apparently, the outcome of this confrontation would reveal who was the strongest between the top-notch forces of the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race.

The stronger side, no doubt, would have the advantage.

As everyone waited anxiously for the result, the forceful windstorm dissipated in the air, and the vision became clear. The large Flame Lotus and the Exterminating Light were gone.

Only a dilapidated Demonic Painting stood silently in the air with five evil eyes flashing with a creepy glow.

“Can’t they destroy that Demonic Painting with the joint forces of the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor?” Upon seeing the result, many of the Heavenly Sovereigns were horrified, and their face turned ashen.

Whereas on the Extraterritorial Race side, many of the Heaven Demon Emperors were overjoyed except for Saint Heaven Demon Emperor and Dark Heaven Demon Emperor who frowned.

“Something is not right.” Mu Chen mumbled to himself as he stared at that space.

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor stood in the air with no emotions on their faces. Their icy gazes stared at the Demonic Painting. All of a sudden, the Flame Emperor flicked his finger.

A tiny flame shot and landed on the dilapidated Demonic Painting.

Blaze!

After the tiny flame landed on the soft Demonic Painting, it burst into flame. The five evil eyes let out sharp shrieks in the flame, and a loud bang was heard. The painting exploded.

When the five evil eyes exploded, the Heavenly Evil Emperor’s body jerked sharply. He looked extremely inhospitable. Black-colored blood rolled down from his five evil eyes which made him looked like a devil.

The overjoyed looks on the various Heaven Demon Emperors’ face froze as they altered into horrifying looks.

Apparently, the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor had some upper hands in the previous round of confrontation. They even took the chance to injure the actual body of the Heavenly Evil Deity. That was why the five fearsome evil eyes were slightly wounded.

Those ashen-looking Heavenly Sovereigns were also taken aback by the current situation. Subsequently, exhilarating cheering sound exploded in the Northern Wilderness Hill.

“God blessed our Great Thousand World! We have the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor to save us from the crisis!” The Undying Lord said intoxicatingly with a shaky voice.

They thought that the Great Thousand World was going to be exterminated when the Heavenly Evil Deity emerged. But no one expected that the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were already on par with the Immortal Emperor.

Qin Tian and the rest nodded their heads forcefully and exclaimed, “Indeed. The current Heavenly Evil Deity was stronger than he was in the Primordial Era. If any of the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were missing, none of them could deal with the Deity alone.”

The Heavenly Evil Deity was, after all, too strong that both of them needed to combine their powers to counter it.

With an inhospitable look, The Heavenly Evil Deity stretched out his palm and gently wiped away the black-colored blood that rolled out from his evil eyes. He then cast an emotionless gaze at the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor. “From the individual strength, any one of you was more outstanding than the Immortal Emperor in the Primordial Era. I did not expect that many extraordinary talents sprouted out from the Great Thousand World.”

The Flame Emperor gave a faint smile and replied, “You are powerful too. But for the sake of the spiritual beings in the Great Thousand World, both of us can only win though outnumbering you.”

The Heavenly Evil Deity smiled, but an eerie one. His tonality did not change despite he had lost the previous round of exchange. “Do you think you will win for sure?”

The Martial Ancestor replied in a low voice, “At least you’ll not achieve the ambition to invade our Great Thousand World for now.”

“Both of us could only gain a little advantage currently, but after another hundred years when our names appeared on the Heaven’s Declaration, any one of us could kill you completely.”

Once their names appeared on the Heaven’s Declaration, they would be of different levels from now. Till then, the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor would have the confidence to kill the Heavenly Evil Deity easily.

The Heavenly Evil Deity squinted his eyes. He did not deny that. Instead, he said, “It would be hard for me to stop you when you reach that stage, but…”

He tilted his head and gave a creepy smile, “Do you think I will give you the time to do so?”

The Flame Emperor narrowed his eyes while his expression turned cold, “What can you do then?”

The Heavenly Evil Deity drew a creepier smile. He kept silence for a while before he replied slowly, “Don’t you find it odd that why did I give the Immortal Emperor a chance to seal me off when I was clearly much stronger than him during the Primordial Era?

“The answer is simple because getting seal…was voluntary.”

Upon hearing that, Qin Tian and the rest of the Heavenly Sovereigns were petrified as shock took over within their eyes. The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor narrowed their pupils too.

The seal that was exchanged with the Immortal Emperor’s life was actually a voluntary act for the Heavenly Evil Deity?

“Sheer nonsense!” The Flame Emperor said coldly, “That seal almost wipe you off. What could be the reason for you to pay such a hefty price for it?”

The Heavenly Evil Deity went into silence again. After a while, he sighed softly and lifted his chin to look at the land. Without any emotion, he said, “Do you know what’s a World’s Suppression?”

The Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor frowned together.

“When an alien and powerful existence entered another world, that world will suppress and repel the existence. Just like the Extraterritorial Race’s experts who came to the Great Thousand World would find it hard to bring their true capability into play.”

“The more powerful the person is, the more suppression the world would exert.”

“While I was being suppressed by the Immortal Emperor for 49,000 years, the power of the seal has infiltrated my aura. As such, if I can break and escape from the seal, I could deceive the world. The suppression exerted by the Great Thousand World would no longer exist. This is the time I could really take over this world and not be repelled and rejected by the willpower possessed by this world. This is also the time I could take over the Great Thousand World and transformed it into the base camp for the Extraterritorial Race.”

The Heavenly Evil Deity smiled to the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor, “Do you think five eyes were my limit? I can’t help but say all of you are too naïve.”

The voice of the Heavenly Evil Deity was filled with spine-chilling coldness. As it echoed through the land, all the Heavenly Sovereigns could feel their blood ran cold. All the joys that came from the advantages gained by the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor were wiped out clean instantly.

“A long long time ago, people addressed me as…”

“The Nine-eyes Evil Deity…”
