Chapter 1520 - Last Order (2/2)

As the Undying Lord had a senior status, which was higher than most of the people's here, even Qin Tian needed to address him as 'Elder.' Hence, it was natural for him to remain respectful as he interacted with him.

The Undying Lord smiled, then said, ”I heard that the Primordial Immortal Body recognized you as his master. Can I see it?”

Upon hearing his request, Mu Chen was initially hesitant, but he eventually nodded. As he struggled to focus his thoughts, a glassy glow was seen behind his back.

Within the glow sat a glass body that had its legs crossed. Even though it was not moving, it gave off an ancient aura that seemed to be everlasting. At that moment, a mystical energy filled the entire hall.

All eyes were on Mu Chen. They looked at that ancient glass figure that was now looming behind him with eyes that were filled with astonishment. After all, the Primordial Immortal Body had never made an appearance in the world since the Primordial War!

At that moment, Maha You had a coldness in his eyes and a face that was filled with anger and grief. The Undying Lord stared hard at that glass figure, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax.

As myriad memories filled his mind, the Undying Lord said with a soft voice, ”I didn't expect that there come a day when I would see the Primordial Immortal Body once more.” As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Mu Chen.

After seeing this, Mu Chen was at a loss for what to do. After all, given the experience and status of the Undying Lord, no one in the Great Thousand World could make him bow and pay his respects.

”Elder, you're embarrassing me.” Mu Chen gave a bitter smile.

The Undying Lord shook his head and said, ”In the past, the Immortal Emperor left issued the directive in his last words, saying that if the new Master of the Primordial Immortal Body showed up, the Gravekeeper Clan was to treat him as our new ruler and listen to his every command.”

After he finished uttering his sentence, everyone in the hall was shocked. Even Qin Tian and the Green Shirt Sword Saint turned to Mu Chen with slightly shaken looks.

The Gravekeeper was from the direct line of descendants of the Immortal Emperor, and as such, he was extremely loyal to the Immortal Emperor. He even regarded him as the true God.

At the same time, they also possessed the inheritance that had been left behind by the Immortal Emperor, which endowed them with an extremely powerful strength that was necessary for operating within the Great Thousand World. Thus, if the Gravekeeper clan regarded Mu Chen as their ruler, the strength that Mu Chen could command would push his clan to become one of the top clans in the Great Thousand World. Then, his clan would be stronger than even the five ancient clans!

Many people in the hall were shocked by this fact, while Maha Tian twitched his lips. Fear swirled in his eyes as he thought... If Mu Chen really controls this force, he could then suppress the Maha Ancient Clan, even without having to rely on the Budur Ancient Clan at all!

Apart from being shocked, Maha Tian was also furious. After all, this opportunity was supposed to be taken by the Maha Ancient Clan. But now, Mu Chen had control of everything!

At this time, the West Heaven War Emperor was filled with mixed emotions as he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had not gone overboard in regards to his dealings with Mu Chen. Since Mu Chen had his own force, he might just rise to the top of the Great Thousand World and become someone as powerful as Martial Ancestor!

Like everyone else present, Mu Chen was also caught by surprise with this news. Apparently, he did not expect the last order of the Immortal Emperor to benefit him so greatly.

As his initial shock subsided, Mu Chen regained his composure and said in a low voice, ”You regard me too highly, Elder. I respect the Gravekeeper Clan for guarding the Northern Wilderness Hill, therefore, I am in no position to give orders here. As such, you don't have to take the order seriously. Protecting and maintaining the peace and order of the Great Thousand World is our responsibility.”

No one would doubt the strength of the Gravekeeper Clan, which made it very tempting to own it. However, Mu Chen was not dumb, and since they were so strong, he knew that he would not be able to control the Gravekeeper Clan, even with the last order of the Immortal Emperor to his credit. Mu Chen feared that he would most certainly face numerous objections to his taking control.

When the Undying Lord heard this, he did not make any further comments, but only gave Mu Chen a knowing smile. He knew exactly what was bothering Mu Chen. It was the fact that Mu Chen still lacked the proper qualifications to become the ruler of the Gravekeeper Clan. However, one day, when he reached the same level as the Immortal Emperor, the Gravekeeper Clan would submit to him willingly and wholeheartedly.

After the Undying Lord stopped talking, the hall was completely silent. However, the people's eyes were filled with respect as they looked at Mu Chen. It was as if they were seeing him in a whole new light.

Six hours passed in a blink of an eye as the silence remained. When the wait was finally over, the entire dilapidated Northern Wilderness Hill shook violently.

Roar!

As the earth quaked, a roar echoed out from the deepest part of the land. The roar contained a limitless destructive force that could reshape the universe and overturn the entire earth!

At that moment, the bronze coffins that were standing upside-down in the black square trembled. Spiritual ribbons beamed out violently from the quaking land, then intertwined rapidly with one another to form a creepy and ancient-looking array in the sky above the Northern Wilderness Hill. Then, a chant came from the enormous array as it released a deluge of suppressing power in order to keep the earth from shaking.

Qin Tian suddenly stood up within the Great Thousand Palace. He looked cold and stern, while his robe flapped madly. A mighty oppression then swept out from his body and loomed above the earth.

”Time's up! Get ready to circulate the array and wipe out the remaining vitality of the Heavenly Evil Deity!” he shouted.

At that moment, a cold radiance beamed out from the eyes of all of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the hall. They all then shouted in unison, ”At your command!”
