Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Leisure Time

He exited the Secret Realm, but not before plundering all the resources the Naga had amassed. These resources included rare spiritual herbs that could enhance one’s cultivation, allowing for faster breakthroughs and stronger foundations. There were also ancient jade slips containing profound cultivation techniques and martial arts, coveted by sect leaders and lone cultivators alike.

In addition to these, he gathered high-grade spirit stones, essential for cultivating in closed-door sessions or powering large formations. There were also mystical beast cores, which could be refined into pills or used to strengthen one’s physical body and cultivation base. Rare minerals and ores, used for forging powerful artifacts and weapons, were also part of his spoils.

Furthermore, he acquired heavenly treasures like the Essence of the Moon and Sun, which could greatly enhance one’s spiritual sense and control over elemental forces. These resources, combined with the rare spiritual veins he now controlled, gave him a significant increase in his overall wealth.

Moreover, he did not leave the Secret Realm without ensuring Ryman was transformed into his True Servant.

Exiting the Secret Realm, Aiden looked at the horizon as he saw the sun setting.

“Hmm, it’s already evening… though what is the meaning of this?” Aiden mumbled, then looked at the army of soldiers pointing their weapons at him.

“That is what we should be asking!” An old man stepped forward, his white hair and beard showing just how old he was, but the aura around him was fierce like a lion in its den.

He pointed his Spear Martial Spirit at Aiden and said, “You invaded our Secret Realm. Now you have two choices: either surrender everything you took from inside and then kneel at the palace door for 100 years, or we kill you and take it from your corpse.”

‘Hmm, he is a Spirit Saint, and the other two old coots are also Spirit Saints. As for the soldiers, their average level is Spirit Lord,’ Aiden thought as he gazed at the army welcoming him.

“You said two choices, yet I see three,” Aiden said while leisurely putting his hands behind his back.

The Elder in charge of the city’s security looked at Aiden carefully stretching and asked, “What is the third choice?”

Aiden smiled, as if he had been waiting for the old coot to ask this question. “It’s simple. I kill all of you and leave.”

Hearing him, everyone flared up, each summoning their Martial Spirit, causing a myriad of Martial Spirits to appear in that small 200-meter area. From different kinds of ferocious animals to awe-inspiring ones like plants, the scene was both chaotic and mesmerizing.

The Spear Elder snorted as his spear tip glowed. “Second choice it is,” he said and then thrust his spear at Aiden, causing a piercing beam to rush at him.

Aiden smirked, then he jumped upwards as two wings formed behind him. He hovered in mid-air, maneuvering as the soldiers launched their long-range attacks at him.

“It’s not fair; you are so many, yet I am alone. How about we level the field to some extent?” Aiden said as he summoned both Mikhail and Ryman.

The soldiers, as well as the Elders, flinched, seeing two monsters appear out of nowhere. Not to mention their intimidating height, which was enough to scare many, but being disciplined soldiers, most of them quickly shrugged off their fear and assumed their formation.

As the fight commenced, the battlefield erupted into chaos. Aiden floated in the air, his Death Dragon of Infinite Darkness Martial Spirit unfurling behind him, its massive wings casting ominous shadows on the ground. He eyed the Spear Martial Spirit Elder, who was charging at him with lethal intent.

Mikhail, the Dullahan King of Despair, stepped forward with his imposing presence. His Sword of Myriad Despairs gleamed with a malevolent light, the runes etched on it shifting and writhing as if alive. He raised his sword, and an aura of dread filled the air.

“Aura of Despair,” Mikhail muttered, activating his innate skills.

The Elders and soldiers felt the crushing weight of his Aura of Despair. Their movements slowed, and their attacks weakened. Mikhail’s presence was like a black hole, sapping their will to fight.

“Undying Will,” Mikhail whispered, and his body pulsed with a dark energy, granting him immense resilience. He could regenerate rapidly from any wounds inflicted upon him.

The battlefield darkened as Mikhail unleashed Eternal Night. A domain of darkness enveloped the area, obscuring vision and making it difficult for enemies to predict and counter his movements. Screams of fear echoed as soldiers stumbled in the pitch-black void.

With a roar, Mikhail conjured Hellfire Flames. Black flames erupted around him, burning with intense heat. The flames bypassed physical defenses and attacked the very souls of those unfortunate enough to be caught in their blaze.

One of the Spirit Saints, wielding a Martial Spirit of an Ancient Phoenix, faced Mikhail. The phoenix’s fiery wings flared up, trying to counter the darkness and the hellfire. But Mikhail swung his Sword of Myriad Despairs with devastating force, activating Soul Reaper. Every strike siphoned a portion of the phoenix’s spirit energy, replenishing Mikhail’s own.

“Army of the Fallen,” Mikhail chanted, and spectral warriors rose from the ground, spirits of fallen warriors who had some connection with him. They surged forward, clashing with the phoenix and its flames.

Ryman, with his Asura King of Dominance Martial Spirit, squared off against the Spirit Saint whose Martial Spirit was a Colossal Titan. The Titan roared and charged at Ryman, each step causing the ground to quake.

The Asura King of Dominance manifested behind Ryman, a towering figure exuding an aura of absolute power. The ground trembled under its dominion, and the air crackled with energy. The Titan, despite its size and strength, seemed to falter under the sheer weight of Ryman’s presence.

With a commanding gesture, Ryman activated Aura of Supremacy, causing the Titan and nearby soldiers to hesitate and falter. He followed up with Dominion Strike, his shadowy greatsword cleaving through the air with terrifying force. The Titan staggered, its immense form momentarily paralyzed by the overwhelming authority of the strike.

The Spear Elder at the forefront fighting with Aiden felt if he dont do anything other two will die so he increases the ferocity of his attacks, causing Aiden to consume one of the stored soul essence to temporarily boost his power level to match him.
