The Great Ruler Chapter 613 Miserable Loss

Chapter 613 – Miserable Loss
Whoosh!
Ten-plus light silhouettes were like fishes, flashing in the chaotic Spiritual Energy ocean with boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuating around them, resisting the dreadful pressure that was coming from all directions.
Compared to the speed outside, those ten-plus light silhouettes were clearly slower.
The Spiritual Energy pressure of this ocean had reached a terrifying level. If one wished to move forward, they would have to exhaust a large amount of their Spiritual Energy.
Thus, even if the four teams were peak experts, it was impossible for them to travel in the Spiritual Energy ocean without any obstructions.
Because of the Spiritual Energy pressure, there were members amongst the four teams that had started to reveal their strength in just a few minutes. Just like Mu Chen’s team, Mu Chen and Luo Li charge in the front while Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong followed ten feet behind and Su Xuan was after them.
Although Shen Cangsheng and the rest had executed their Spiritual Energy to the limits, they still could not catch up to the two.
Likewise, the three other teams also had similar distances dragged apart.
Su Xuan was last, her face was flushed red at this moment as the Spiritual Energy on the surface of her body also became chaotic. She could feel that her Spiritual Energy couldn’t hold out much longer.
“Do you need help?” Mu Chen transmitted his voice with his Spiritual Energy to Su Xuan’s ears.
Su Xuan clenched her teeth as she shook her head, “Looks like I’ll have to drop out of the team. The rest will depend on you guys, don’t bother stopping because of me.”
She knew very well what she had to do, not to burden Mu Chen and the rest. After all, this test didn’t require all of them to pass through the Sea of Judgement. Only one of them had to make it out, and they would succeed.
Hearing her reply, Mu Chen and the rest hesitated for a brief moment, before nodding their heads in the end. Right now wasn’t the time for them to stop and help their teammates.
“Then, we’ll make a move first, you be careful.”
Mu Chen spoke as he inhaled a deep breath, the black lightning on the surface of his body radiated with more brilliance, he stomped his foot, causing the liquid Spiritual Energy beneath to explode as his speed increased.
Luo Li also quietly formed seals with her hands as a flowing light film was formed on the surface of her body. Although her method wasn’t as overbearing as Mu Chen’s, it was ingenious as it negated part of the Spiritual Energy pressure to maintain her speed.
Looking at the scene from the back, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong bitterly smiled. Although their situation was slightly better compared to Su Xuan, the Spiritual Energy in their bodies was rapidly being depleted. This also made them understand a fact, they would never be able to be on the same echelon as Mu Chen and Luo Li.
Rustle!
The four of them formed into two different echelons, one group at the front while the other remained behind.
A distance away, there was also a similar clear distinction. However, only the Captains of the three teams were in the first echelon.
Whoosh!
The sounds of the liquid Spiritual Energy being swept across was like the sound of water flowing as it resounded by their ears. Everyone’s faces were filled with graveness as they maintained their alert in high speed. Although this Sea of Judgement looked rather calm, it gave them a feeling of unease.
As they thought about it, this Sea of Judgement might not be as simple as it looked.
Mu Chen’s gaze faintly flickered as he stared at the calm Sea of Judgement and, in a split second, his pupils abruptly shrank as he vaguely sensed the surrounding liquid Spiritual Energy becoming more and more violent.
“Be cautious!” Mu Chen reminded with a heavy voice.
Just when he finished speaking, Luo Li’s face changed as she hastily said, “Watch out below!”
Mu Chen’s heart went cold as he saw a huge Spiritual Energy vortex suddenly appear at the bottom of the Spiritual Energy ocean as he swept his gaze. It was like a huge mouth opening that was devouring at their direction.
A powerful suction force came from the Spiritual Energy vortex, causing their speed to gradually slow down.
Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were located below, and their faces instantly changed as they felt, under the suction force of the vortex, their speed becoming as slow as a snail. Not only that, they were also slowly moving back bit by bit.
“Damn it!”
The faces of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong instantly turned ugly as they circulated their Spiritual Energy to the limits. Despite that, they saw the vortex rotating faster to the point that it was even getting close to them.
“You go first!”
Li Xuantong furrowed his brows as he grabbed onto Shen Cangsheng’s arm and threw him forth, whereas he was sent flying back from the opposing force and was devoured by the vortex.
Borrowing that force, Shen Cangsheng was able to break free of the Spiritual Energy vortex for the time being. However, he still had a bitter expression on his face as that method was just a temporary delay.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The instant Mu Chen and his team encountered trouble, so did the other teams. Large Spiritual Energy vortices were like oceanic beasts as the burst of suction forces devoured all those silhouettes behind.
Everyone felt their scalps were a little numb at this moment as they knew that the Sea of Judgement was finally revealing its power.
Rustle!
Everyone accelerated their speed to the limits as they rapidly travelled through the liquid Spiritual Energy as they tried their best to break free from being devoured by the pressing vortices.
Shen Cangsheng had also pushed his Spiritual Energy to his limit, his face was flushed red as the boundless Spiritual Energy that was spread around him was pushing away the pressuring Spiritual Energy liquid.
Just as he was trying his best to resist, he finally broke free from the approaching Spiritual Energy vortex. The instant the suction force disappeared, Shen Cangsheng felt relieved and couldn’t help himself from cursing, “That damnable thing!”
“Watch out!”
However, just when he felt relieved, Mu Chen’s bark suddenly rang in his ears.
Shen Cangsheng turned his head, he saw the chaotic Spiritual Energy ripples at his right formed into a peculiar vortex, and he was devoured by it before he could even react.
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged looks, since they never expected the two of them to be the only ones left in less than ten minutes. But fortunately, the loss of the other teams was even greater, only the four Captains were left from a total of fifteen people.
But at this point in time, they didn’t have the mood to think about that as they could sense that this Sea of Judgement had been thoroughly awakened. Violent liquid Spiritual Energy started to sweep in multiple layers as densely-packed Spiritual Energy vortices appeared. The vortices were like huge mouths as they tried to devour them.
At this point in time, it was tough to advance. Not only did they have to resist the dreadful Spiritual Energy pressure, they still had to be alert against the Spiritual Energy vortices that randomly appeared around them.
Under this harsh environment, even Mu Chen had his forehead covered with beads of sweat in less than five minutes.
And outside of the Mirror of Judgement, many people were dumbfounded as they looked at the five miserable figures in the Sea of Judgement. There would be Spiritual Energy vortices appearing beside them from time to time, making them frightened as they watched. It truly was not an easy task to pass through the Sea of Judgement.
“Shit, Mu Chen fell into the Spiritual Energy vortex as well.” In the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region, Ye Qingling’s face abruptly change when she saw Mu Chen’s advancing figure being devoured by a vortex before he could even evade.
“A Spiritual Energy vortex of such level is still insufficient to trap him, don’t worry.” Ling Xi spoke.
As she spoke, Ye Qingling and the rest saw brilliant black lightning suddenly exploded from Mu Chen’s body as his speed surged, escaping from the Spiritual Energy vortex and only then, did they feel relieved.
“However, the Spiritual Energy vortices will only get stronger and stronger. If he were to fall into one again, it might be troublesome.” Ling Xi slowly spoke as her gorgeous eyes looked at the Mirror of Judgement.
When Ye Qingling and the rest heard her words, they couldn’t help having their hearts lifted.
Within the chaotic Sea of Judgement.
“Are you alright?” Luo Li quickly inquired as she looked at Mu Chen, who had just escaped from the Spiritual Energy vortex.
Mu Chen shook his head as seven lightning runes appeared on his chest. Clearly, he had pushed his Lightning God’s Physique to the limits just to break free from the Spiritual Energy vortex.
“Be careful, the Spiritual Energy vortices are getting stronger and stronger.” Mu Chen reminded. The scale of the vortex that appeared earlier had already reached a few hundred feet, the Spiritual Energy in it was violent to a fearsome extent. If he were to fall in it again, even if he could make it out, it would definitely be after a huge exhaustion.
Even he might not be able to last long if it occurred a few more times.
“Their situation shouldn’t be too good as well.” Luo Li spoke as she glanced at the three silhouettes in the distance.
Mu Chen nodded his head as black lightning exploded beneath his feet, increasing his speed. Seeing his actions, Luo Li immediately followed.
The two of them helped one another, and although it was alarmingly dangerous, it was fortunately only alarming and not dangerous. Vaguely, their speeds were ahead of the other three.
In the distance away, Ji Xuan tapped his toe as he mysteriously dodged a Spiritual Energy vortex and he gave a dark glance at Mu Chen and Luo Li’s silhouettes.
Right now, amongst the four teams, only the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had two people remaining. If the two of them could maintain it, perhaps it might not be too beneficial for the rest of them.
Ji Xuan’s gaze flashed as he looked at another direction with an obscure gaze where Xue Tianhe was at.
The gazes of those two intertwined for a brief moment and unnoticeably nodded their heads, a smear of eerie chill flashed across their eyes.
