The Great Ruler - Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482: 1482

The Maha Continent was also among the ranks of the Great Thousand World’s supercontinents . It was endlessly vast and was filled with an abundant amount of resources . As such, it was a continent that had a good reputation throughout the Great Thousand World .

Of course, one of the main reasons for this was due to the existence of the Maha Ancient Clan . As one of the five ancient clans in the Great Thousand World, the Maha Ancient Clan had existed for a long time .

Even in ancient times, the Maha Ancient Clan was an extremely powerful force . Now, when the strengths of the clans were compared, their accumulation of power that they had gathered since those ancients times had granted them their ranking in the Great Thousand World .

In the past, endless fire territories were developing in full swing in this Great Thousand World . Then, when Maha Tian from the Maha Ancient Clan inherited the patriarch’s position, he tried to annex the endless fire territories that had just developed in order to frighten all of the people . But, at that time, the entire Maha Ancient Clan did not expect that the Flame Emperor from the lower planes would be such an unexpectedly powerful character .

In the end, he smashed Maha Tian’s ambitions . However, the fact alone that he had been able to compete with the Flame Emperor was enough to show that his strength was not to be underestimated .

Therefore, over the years, the reputation of the Maha Ancient Clan had become more and more powerful . Among the five ancient clans, it had attained the first place . Regardless of the number of weak and strong warriors it had, they all looked down upon the other four clans .

…

Maha Continent, Aeon City .

Aeon City was not the main city on the Maha Continent, but its popularity was higher than that of the Maha Ancient Clan . This was because it was rumored that the city was built by the Immortal Emperor . Also, the Aeon Congress was always held here .

Beyond Aeon City, on a hill, Mu Chen was looking at this city, which exuded an ancient atmosphere . Outside the city, there was a constant stream of light and shadows, and the buzzing atmosphere was even more bustling than that of the Budur Ancient Clan’s Contest of the Lineages .

The Contest of the Lineages and the Aeon Congress were originally different in nature . The former only invited the familiar strong people to observe the rituals, while the latter, regardless of any familiarities, would gather more than half of the superpowers of the entire Great Thousand World together . After all, their gathering concerned the affiliation of The Primordial Immortal Body .

“This is really a gathering of many strong people,” Mu Chen murmured to himself, then sighed .

Those who came to this Aeon City were the strong people from the top supreme powers . Ordinary people would not be brave enough to come here, as the atmosphere was too overwhelming and oppressive for them .

As he sighed, Mu Chen moved his body and turned into a stream of light before sweeping towards the city . He then landed at the city gate . As he approached, he could feel that this city seemed to be exuding an extremely ancient and undulating aura .

This kind of aura, although it was extremely subtle, could still cause the spiritual energy in Mu Chen’s body to oscillate slightly . That is why he had involuntarily landed his at the city gate and did not dare go any further .

Mu Chen furrowed his brows slightly . This was definitely not the prestige of a sacred product . It seemed to be a much more mysterious aura .

Could it have been left by the Immortal Emperor back then? Mu Chen wondered as his heart shivered . After all, only the aura of the former strongest person in the Great Thousand World could make people feel such an awe, even after myriad years had passed .

The moment this thought appeared in Mu Chen’s mind, he suppressed it . With a trace of respect for the Immortal Emperor in his mind, Mu Chen went to the gate of the city and slowly entered it with a solemn expression .

Upon entering the city, his vision was suddenly broadened . The old slate that paved the streets stretched out in front of his eyes . The streets were crowded, and each figure upon them faintly exuded a violent spiritual energy .

Mu Chen’s arrival had attracted several gazes, which gazes flashed with glimmers of odd colors . It seemed like these people recognized him .

Regarding those interested gazes, Mu Chen was stunned, but soon after, he smiled secretly and felt a little proud about it . It seemed like, unbeknownst to him, he had become a celebrity in the Great Thousand World, as even here he was easily recognized .

However, Mu Chen did not dwell on these thoughts . He only them to pass through his heart before he picked up his pace and went straight to the center of the city .

After crossing a few streets, he suddenly saw a crowd of people clamoring in front of him . He could only see a huge crystal wall before the crowd, which had clear shadows flashing on it .

“The Aeon Congress Betting List!” Mu Chen murmured as he took a glance at it .

He then saw the person who was listed in first place on the wall . It was a man, who was wearing a black and white top, and he was floating in the air . The man’s eyes were deep, and they exuded a fearsome sense of pressure .

When Mu Chen saw this familiar figure, he squinted his eyes . It was because this guy was the impressive Maha You! The crystal wall showed that the total amount of bets that had been placed on Maha You’s victory had already reached 20 billion drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid!

Obviously, Maha You had the highest probability of winning the Aeon Congress . After all, when it came to strength, Maha You was undeniably strong .

Furthermore, he was a member of the Maha Ancient Clan and had cultivated the Great Solar Undying Body and the Immortal Golden Body . Hence, if the Aeon Immortal Body was to choose its own master, Maha You would most certainly have the greatest chance of winning .

Following behind Maha You were Asura Spear Ye Qing, Lord Vajra Shi Luo, and Blade Saint Tuo Ba Chang . Ye Qing was a long-haired man, who carried a bloody red spear in his hand . His eyes were indifferent and seemed to contain a killing intent . Even one look at them could make a person feel endless chills run up his spine .

Lord Vajra Shi Luo was wearing a golden robe, while his bald head was shining with a great luster, like a star . His body was thin, and he did not seem anything like a person who would have an extremely terrifying physical strength .

As for Tuo Ba Chang, he had on a black robe and was carrying a broken blade . He had an ordinary face, save for a pair of eyes that seemed to contain a sharpness that could slice the world in half . His terrifying appearance caused the people here to go numb with fear .

These four were in the top four of the winning percentages list . Maha You was leading, as he had 20 billion bets that had been placed on him, while the other three had about 5 billion each . Unsurprisingly, Mu Chen saw his name under the four people on the wall . But, when compared with the previous four, he was obviously not as well-liked by the people, as he only had a miserable one billion that had been placed on him as a bet .

“No wonder I was recognized by all of the people at the city gate,” Mu Chen murmured as he shook his head awkwardly . With such a large image of him and his name on the wall, it was no surprise that he would be recognized as soon as he had entered the city .

Mu Chen gazed at the four imposing figures on the crystal wall and immediately smiled mildly . Mu Chen then walked up and saw that, under the crystal wall, there were beautiful maids, who were receiving the bets . They were obviously from the Maha Ancient Clan, as only members of the Maha Ancient Clan were able to operate such a large betting pool .

“Are you interested in betting?” There was a burst of laughter beside Mu Chen as a voice rang out .

He turned his head with his eyes slightly squinted, then saw a familiar figure looking at him with a smile . It was Maha You . As he was the hegemon of the Maha Continent, Mu Chen’s whereabouts were obviously known by the Maha Ancient Clan from the moment he entered the city .

Mu Chen stared at Maha You and asked in a teasing tone, “What? Right now? People from the Maha Ancient Clan seem to be lacking in terms of confidence . ”

Maha You shook his head and said, “There is no lack of confidence . I just don’t want my plans to be ruined . But, rest assured, it is just a means of elimination . If you can’t even solve this problem, you are not eligible to join the Aeon Congress . ”

The corners of Mu Chen’s mouth curled up to form a cynical smile as he said, “The Aeon Congress was set up by the Immortal Emperor, and there is no such elimination . ”

Maha You smiled slightly, then said, “We have kept the Primordial Immortal Body for many years, and as such, it has become the sacred object of the Maha Ancient Clan . Hence, it is not out of place for us to do anything to keep it . ”

Mu Chen shook his head and said, “The Immortal Emperor will probably question why he chose you guys in the first place . ”

Maha You did not care about this as he said, “Once our clan becomes the new master of the Primordial Immortal Body, even the Immortal Emperor can’t take it back . ”

While gazing at Mu Chen, he then said slowly, “Mu Chen, if you can give up the battle for the Immortal Body, the Maha Ancient Clan will give you a generous compensation . This is not because we lack confidence . I just want to show you that the Maha Ancient Clan will never allow others to meddle with the Primordial Immortal Body . ”

After hearing these words from Maha You, Mu Chen’s dark eyes sharpened . He did not answer Maha You, but with a shake of his sleeve, a universal bracelet fell in front of the beautiful maid that he had just been talking to .

“Here is one billion in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid… Bet it on me to win,” Mu Chen told her .

In front of many horrified stares, Mu Chen did not pay any more attention to Maha You as he turned and left . Maha You looked indifferently at Mu Chen’s retreating shadow, shook his head, then murmured, “If it was not for your mother’s sake, I would not waste time talking nonsense with you . You are truly an idiot, who doesn’t know his place . Since you insist on seeking death, I can only fulfill your wish . ”
