The Great Ruler - Chapter 868

Chapter 868

In the dark Death Relics, the smell of death was extremely strong . In fact, it covered the entire area . It was like a place of the dead, causing one to shiver .

Swoosh!

The silence in the Death Relics had been completely disturbed by the large number of people who had just barged in . The sounds of chaotic fighting caused the Death Relics to bustle with noise .

Mu Chen led his troop into the Death Relics . They were unstoppable . They swirled deep into the area at lightning speed .

However, they soon faced some obstructions . There were up to 1,000 decomposed warriors, all of whom were attired in rotten armor . Their bodies had dried up, and they looked like skeletons . The only things left behind were their shiny red eyes . These eyes looked evil, ready to destroy everything .

These decomposed warriors had stopped the forces who had just barged in . A majestic spiritual energy burst out, while the forces and the decomposed troop went into a fierce battle .  

The decomposed warriors had lost their minds, and were acting like zombies . They did not feel any pain, but simply fought on fearlessly . Their attacks were constant, and they all moved in unison, as if they were one entity .

As the spiritual energy with the rotten smell merged with the attacks, they were extremely lethal . Many powerful forces, having been taken by surprise, were defeated by them .  

As Mu Chen looked at the decomposed warriors, he was stunned . He exchanged looks with Nine Nether, both of them looking grave . The aura surrounding these decomposed warriors was similar to the one possessed by those elders from the Primordial Celestial Palace in the first relic .

"Before these warriors passed away, they must have fought with the Extraterritorial Race . The evil energy must have invaded into their body, causing them to look as they do now," Nine Nether said softly .

"Extraterritorial Race?" When Lord Mountain Cracker and the rest heard her words, they turned grave . Although the Primordial War had happened a long time ago, they knew how horrifying the Extraterritorial Race was . These were the worst enemies of the entire Great Thousand World!

"Be careful," Mu Chen reminded them, then darted out . After receiving the command, the troop started to be more cautious . A majestic fighting spirit surged, as the troop put up their guards, looking around .

Mu Chen's big troop swirled past, like a windstorm . The smaller groups of decomposed warriors did not get in their way, due to the power that the troop had exuded . Thus, they simply let them go past .

Mu Chen did not let down his guard, but became even more cautious . Very soon, when they dashed past a dark piece of land, violent fighting spirit fluctuations burst out from a dark cave in the distance . Numerous black torrents then swept past, carrying with them a rotten smell .

There was a strong fighting spirit within these torrents . Mu Chen turned grave, looking at the cave . At that moment, a few thousand dried figures floated up in the cave . Majestic fighting spirit spread out, filling it with the cold fluctuation of death .

"Lord Mu, leave them to the Spiritual Sword Troop," Lord Spiritual Sword looked at the decomposed troop, then said to Mu Chen . He waved his hand, and the Spiritual Sword Troop behind them shouted in a low voice . Majestic fighting spirit spread out, and a shadow with a huge sword appeared above the Spiritual Sword Troop .

The shadow had been formed by the fighting spirit . This was the Spirit of Fighting Intent that Mu Chen had helped the Spiritual Sword Troop to condense .

Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of swords clashing resounded loudly, as the figure slashed down hard with the huge sword in his hand . The sword, that was a few hundred feet in length, swept out, carrying with it an overbearing fighting spirit .

Swoosh!

The sword ray darted across the horizon . It whizzed past the black torrents, tearing them apart . The figure activated his fighting spirit to its optimum level . The overwhelming sword ray immediately whizzed out, covering the whole decomposed troop .

Bang! Bang!

As the two parties fought, violent fighting spirits raged out, turning the whole place upside down . The Spirit of Fighting Intent of the Spiritual Sword Troop was more overbearing, and in no time, they were able to defeat the decomposed troop .

As the decomposed warriors were killed by the sword ray, the rotten smell on their bodies started to dissipate . Finally, they turned into ashes .

Just as they were turning into ashes, they each broke into a smile, as though they had been relieved of a great burden . It was not because they were still conscious, but rather was an instinctive relief .

Strange powers started to surge, shocking Mu Chen and the rest . This was the Meteorfall gas that they had been looking for!

Lord Spiritual Sword laughed and waved his sleeve . He absorbed the large amount of Meteorfall gas . Then, after a short while, he had refined a few hundred Meteorfall Alchemy . The quantity was comparable to the harvest from a Grade Three Relic .

"This Death Relic must be a Grade One Relic . " Lord Mountain Cracker and the others looked envious . They found Lord Spiritual Sword to be quite cunning . After all, he had been so quick to react .

"It is all because of Lord Mu, who helped us condense the Spirit of Fighting Intent . If not for him, we would have had to pay a high price in order to defeat them . " Lord Spiritual Sword cupped his fist at Mu Chen, saying the words politely with a smile .

If the Spiritual Sword Troop had not condensed the Spirit of Fighting Intent, they would not have defeated the decomposed troop so easily . Thus, with the help of the Spirit of Fighting Intent, they had won the battle triumphantly, leaving relatively unscathed .

Mu Chen smiled at Lord Mountain Cracker and the rest, then said, "This is just the beginning . You will be forced to strike later, even if you have no intention to . "

When they heard this, they licked their lips and looked excited . They were fearless . This was a good start, and now, they had been provoked to the hunt!

"Let's speed up . "

Mu Chen looked into the distance . He sensed that there were violent spiritual energy fluctuations all over the place . The forces must have realized that these decomposed warriors possessed large amounts of Meteorfall Alchemy within them . The Meteorfall Alchemy in this place was so overbearing, it was more powerful than the ordinary Grade Three Relic . They would really have to speed up their hunt!

Mu Chen looked at the deepest part of the Death Relics, suddenly turning grave . The top powers, who had been killed, must have been invaded by the evil energy of the Extraterritorial Race .

Mu Chen wondered if the war troop dispatcher that they were looking for had met with the same mishap . If this was so, ultimately, they might have to face a war troop dispatcher that had lost his mind due to the invasion of the evil energy .

Mu Chen dared not think how much power the war troop dispatcher would be left with . In any case, no matter how weak a war troop dispatcher was, he would still have some power .

In the current situation, no one would be willing to retreat . No matter how dangerous it would be, Mu Chen had to press on .

After all, a master has no fear . . .

At this thought, Mu Chen waved his sleeve, then immediately darted out, his troop following closely behind him . They were so dynamic, they had caught the attention of the forces quickly .

As they went in deeper, they encountered larger and more powerful troops . These obstacles had slowed down their speed, but as Mu Chen had a large troop, they were only slightly affected .

As Mu Chen and his troop moved on, there were less forces in the surroundings . However, those that were left were powerful and had large troops . In fact, one would surely be killed in such a dangerous place, unless he was truly capable .

As the troop went deeper into the Death Relics, Mu Chen suddenly became more tense . This feeling could only be described as his premonition regarding danger .

Mu Chen suddenly stopped in the dark sky . He frowned and looked in front of him . About 1,000 battered figures flew backward, blood dripping from their bodies . The spiritual energy fluctuations that they flew amid were weak and chaotic .

Mu Chen lifted up his hand to stop the troop immediately, looking wary .

"Those are the men from the Jiwu Sect…" Lord Mountain Cracker looked at the battered figures, then said softly . Mu Chen, Nine Nether, and the rest were shocked . The Jiwu Sect was a top-notch force in the North Territory . They were known to be very powerful . There was even a Grade Six Sovereign among them earlier, but he was no longer around…

"The Grade Six Sovereign has been killed . " As if reading everyone's thoughts, Mu Chen looked into the distance, while speaking the words .

"How do you know?" Lord Mountain Cracker asked, shocked .

Mu Chen pointed out in front of him, where an overwhelming black fog swirled out . Then, loud footsteps were heard coming out from the black fog .

The area shook . Then, as the black fog dissipated, a large number of figures in black armor appeared . That same rotten smell pervaded the entire space immediately, while a stunning fighting spirit whizzed above the troop like a wave .

A dark fighting spirit gathered crazily, then turned into a huge Black Demonic Wolf, lingering menacingly just above the troop . The decomposed troop possessed the Spirit of Fighting Intent!

Lord Mountain Cracker, Nine Nether, and the others immediately turned pale, screaming in terror . The Jiwu Sect had been destroyed by this horrifying troop!

Mu Chen looked shocked as well, as he shifted his gaze above the troop . There, a dark figure loomed, as the fighting spirit surged around it .

Mu Chen took a deep breath, then shouted, "Someone is leading this troop!"
