Supreme Lord of Towers

In the ancient forest, Ye Chen discovered that within his Evolution Divine Tower, there were unexpectedly four additional golden lights, which left him astonished.

Tuoba Lie’s Ice Snake Bloodline was clearly a Yellow Level Ninth Grade bloodline, weaker than Ye Nan’s Black Ape Bloodline.

Yet, why was the Evolutionary Power it transformed into slightly more than that from Ye Nan’s Black Ape Bloodline?

This left Ye Chen feeling quite puzzled.

”Master, although the Ice Snake Bloodline is the lowest grade bloodline, as Tuoba Lie’s cultivation improved, this bloodline has become more concentrated, hence the Evolutionary Power transformed is more than that of Ye Nan’s Black Ape Bloodline.” The Tower Spirit seemingly saw through Ye Chen’s thoughts and explained to him.

It told Ye Chen that the higher the bloodline level and concentration within the cultivator, the more Evolutionary Power it could transform into.

Moreover, the concentration of a cultivator’s bloodline generally increases with the improvement of cultivation.

For instance, Tuoba Lie, who had already stepped into the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm, had Ice Snake Bloodline concentration much higher than when he first awakened, so transforming into four points of Evolutionary Power is quite normal.

”I understand. Speaking of which, the strength of a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert is truly frightening. If I hadn’t mastered the ’Five Elements Sword Technique,’ I wouldn’t be a match for Tuoba Lie.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

It’s known that Tuoba Lie’s bloodline was only Yellow Level Ninth Grade, yet after becoming a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert, he was already so powerful.

If it were those geniuses with extremely strong bloodlines, how terrifying would they be once they step into the Half-Step Gang Qi Realm?

Even though Ye Chen had opened up twenty-two Seas of Qi and mastered the ’Five Elements Sword Technique,’ he had no confidence in defeating them.

”Master, you are still too weak. Let alone a Qi Dao Master of the Gang Qi Realm, many prodigies of the True Qi Realm could still pose a threat to you, so you must not let down your guard,” the Tower Spirit warned Ye Chen.

It was very worried that Ye Chen might be blinded by his own strength, disregarding other geniuses altogether.

This would be extremely dangerous.

”Tower Spirit, don’t worry. I know my own limits well, and I will not underestimate any opponent,” Ye Chen nodded.

Immediately after, his gaze suddenly fixed on Luo Xing, with a terrifying killing intent flashing in his eyes.

”Dead, Tuoba Lie was actually killed by him. No, this is impossible.” At that moment, Luo Xing stood frozen in place, his eyes full of horror, unable to accept this fact.

He originally thought that with Tuoba Lie’s strength, he would easily crush Ye Chen.

But he never expected that Ye Chen would master the ’Five Elements Sword Technique,’ a Clan Martial Art of the Ye Family, and turn the tables on Tuoba Lie.

To Luo Xing, this was simply like a nightmare.

”You head to the afterlife as well.” Ye Chen, with a cold expression, flashed towards Luo Xing.

Currently, Luo Xing, due to the backlash of bloodline, had completely lost his combat ability.

Even though Ye Chen’s True Qi was nearly depleted, he was still confident he could kill him.

”No, Ye Chen, you can’t kill me, otherwise my father will absolutely not spare you. At that time, not only you, but even your adoptive father and mother will die with me,” Luo Xing shouted hysterically at Ye Chen in extreme terror.

He was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year and had a bright future, how could he be willing to die like this?

With a slash.

However, what responded to Luo Xing was a dazzling golden Sword Aura.

The next moment, Luo Xing’s head was severed by Ye Chen employing the ’Profound Gold Sword Technique,’ and blood gushed from his neck like a fountain, dyeing the ground red.

Luo Xing’s eyes widened greatly, and before he died, his eyes were full of horror and regret.

If he had known earlier that Ye Chen’s strength was so formidable, even if given a hundred chances, he would never provoke Ye Chen.

Unfortunately, now, even if he regretted it, it was already too late.

Crackle, crackle.

After killing Luo Xing, Ye Chen also used the Evolution Divine Tower to devour the Red Lion Bloodline within Luo Xing.

The Red Lion Bloodline, as a Yellow Level Fifth Grade bloodline, was much stronger than Ye Nan’s Black Ape Bloodline.

Moreover, Luo Xing’s cultivation was one minor realm higher than Ye Nan’s.

Therefore, his bloodline concentration was also slightly higher than Ye Nan’s.

In the end, the Red Lion Bloodline was completely transformed by the Evolution Divine Tower into six points of Evolutionary Power.

”Now, my Evolutionary Power has far exceeded ten points, which can be used at any time to evolve my soul,” Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with a strong sense of excitement.

Before entering the Canglan Mountain Range, he only had three points of Evolutionary Power.

However, over the past ten days, he consecutively slew five formidable Tier One Demon Beasts, gaining five points of Evolutionary Power from them.

And now, he had even devoured the bloodlines within Luo Xing and Tuoba Chen, acquiring a total of ten points of Evolutionary Power.

Therefore, adding it all together, his Evolutionary Power had reached eighteen points, far exceeding his expectations.

”Oh? Could this be a Beast Core?” At this moment, Ye Chen’s gaze was suddenly attracted by a snow-white orb on the ground, his expression both astonished and excited.

This snow-white orb had rolled out from above Luo Xing’s corpse, containing the vast Essence of Demonic Power within.

Without a doubt, it was a Demon Beast Core.

”Luo Xing has been in the Canglan Mountain Range for who knows how many days, so it’s normal for him to have obtained some Beast Cores. Who knows, he might have other treasures on him as well.” Ye Chen thought to himself while searching above Luo Xing’s corpse.

Soon, he found as many as fifteen Beast Cores from above Luo Xing’s corpse.

In addition, there was a mysterious black Beast Hide Paper.

”Haha! Truly, I searched high and low without finding it, only to get it effortlessly. With these fifteen Beast Cores, I can elevate my cultivation to the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh with joy.

He was originally worried that he wouldn’t be able to gather enough Beast Cores to elevate his cultivation to the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer.

After all, with only about ten days left until the Celestial Flame Academy admission exam, he couldn’t ensure that he would be able to hunt five more Demon Beasts in such a short amount of time.

But now, with these fifteen Beast Cores from Luo Xing, his problem was solved.

Next, he only needed to find a safe place to absorb and refine these Beast Cores, allowing him to break through to the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer without needing to hunt for more Demon Beasts.

”Oh? What is this Beast Hide Paper?” After putting away the fifteen Beast Cores, Ye Chen couldn’t help but open the Beast Hide Paper.

On top of the Beast Hide Paper, not only were there words written, but there was also a map drawn, resembling a Treasure Map.

”It’s the Purple Heart Fruit.” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, and even his breathing became rapid.

According to the words on top of the Beast Hide Paper, in a canyon deep within the Canglan Mountain Range, there grew an extremely rare Spirit Medicine, the Purple Heart Fruit.

If it were any other Spirit Medicine, Ye Chen wouldn’t have such an intense reaction.

However, the Purple Heart Fruit happens to be a Spirit Medicine that can treat the Dantian. No matter how severely the Dantian is damaged, as long as the Purple Heart Fruit is consumed, there’s a high chance of recovery.

Therefore, if Ye Chen could harvest this Purple Heart Fruit, wouldn’t he be able to heal his adoptive father’s injury?

”Unfortunately, in that canyon resides a formidable Tier Two Demon Beast, always waiting for the Purple Heart Fruit to fully mature. With my current strength, if I rushed there, not only would I fail to obtain that Purple Heart Fruit, but I might also be in life-threatening danger.” After a moment, Ye Chen gradually calmed down.

It’s understood that the strength of a Tier Two Demon Beast can already rival that of a Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master.

Moreover, their physical body is far stronger than that of human cultivators, even for a Qi Dao Master, killing them is not an easy task.

One wrong move, and he might even be counter-killed by a Tier Two Demon Beast.

For this reason, even though Ye Chen knew that the Purple Heart Fruit grew in the canyon, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

After all, with his current strength, he was far too weak. If he faced a Tier Two Demon Beast directly, he would surely be crushed.

”The time left for me is not much. Once that Purple Heart Fruit fully matures, it will surely be eaten by that Tier Two Demon Beast. I must find a way to harvest it before it matures.” Ye Chen’s eyes flashed a hint of anxiety.

According to the map’s textual record, that Purple Heart Fruit should fully mature within one to two months.

During this one to two-month period, Ye Chen must go to that canyon to pick it.

Therefore, he must quickly elevate his strength to be able to confront that Tier Two Demon Beast.

Otherwise, even if he ventures to the canyon, nine times out of ten, he won’t be able to obtain that Purple Heart Fruit.

”Master, if you can cultivate the Human Emperor Body to the First Realm Foundation Establishment Realm, you will surely have the ability to confront a Tier Two Demon Beast. However, you must first condense your Divine Soul.” At this moment, Tower Spirit’s voice suddenly sounded in Ye Chen’s mind.

The Human Emperor Body is divided into several realms in total.

Among them, the First Realm is called the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To step into the Foundation Establishment Realm, one must first cultivate Martial Arts to the Perfection Realm and condense a Divine Soul.

And in terms of Martial Arts Realm, Ye Chen had no issue; the only thing lacking was the condensation of the Divine Soul.

”I will now go find a place to evolve my soul.” Ye Chen nodded, his eyes full of deep expectation.
