Supreme Lord of Towers

In the courtyard, Ye Ming was bathed in a red glow, resembling a Fire God incarnate, yet his complexion appeared unusually pale.

This was due to the aftereffects of forcibly using the power within his Dantian.

Originally, his Dantian could sustain for about half a month before completely collapsing.

But now, he feared he could only last a few days.

However, Ye Ming felt no regret in his heart; as long as he could secure a spot for Ye Chen in the talent recruitment, even if he became crippled, it would be worth it.

After all, only by becoming a student of the Celestial Flame Academy could Ye Chen hope to preserve his life.

Otherwise, once Ye Ming completely lost his cultivation, he could no longer protect him.

”Hmph! Ye Ming, do you know who this gentleman is?” Ye Kun did not immediately leave but sneered at Ye Ming, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

”I have no interest in knowing who he is; you all better get out of here.” Ye Ming shouted angrily, his tone extraordinarily strong and domineering.

”Heh! Ye Ming, even if you escape now, it’s useless. The person you’ve offended is a genius from the Duanmu Clan. Just wait to face the wrath of the Duanmu Clan.” Ye Kun sneered coldly, looking at Ye Ming as though he were already a dead man.

”What? The Duanmu Clan.” To the side, Xiao Hui shuddered violently, her face losing all color.

Almost all cultivators in the Celestial Flame Dynasty have heard of the Duanmu Clan.

They are one of the most powerful six families in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, with a Qi Dao Grandmaster at the Celestial Spirit Realm, and rumors say there may be more than one.

Such terrifying existence belongs to the topmost powerhouses even in the Celestial Flame Dynasty, capable of easily destroying families like the Ye Family with a single thought.

And Ye Ming had actually offended a genius from the Duanmu Clan.

To Xiao Hui, this was like a bolt from the blue.

”That bitch Ye Lin’er, she actually hooked up with the genius of the Duanmu Family, trying to use his hand to get rid of me, truly malicious.” Ye Chen’s teeth clenched tightly, his heart filled with extreme anger.

At the same time, he felt an incomparable sense of crisis.

His current strength was too weak; if the Duanmu Family wanted to kill him, it would be no different from squashing an ant.

What worried Ye Chen even more was his foster father and mother.

If anything happened to him, there would be no one to protect his foster parents.

”I can’t let this happen; I must become stronger as quickly as possible. Only by becoming stronger can I protect my foster parents.” Ye Chen roared in his heart, desperately yearning for power.

”Old man, you’re quite brave. In the Celestial Flame Dynasty, not many dare to offend me, Duanmu Jie. Let’s see how long you can keep up this tough act.” Duanmu Jie glanced at Ye Ming with cold eyes, his lips curled into a smirk full of amusement.

Then, he turned and left.

”Ye Lin’er, I will take back everything you took from me very soon. Just you wait.” Ye Chen said to Ye Lin’er coldly.

”Oh really? With you being such a useless fool, I advise you to stop daydreaming and cherish the time you have left.” Ye Lin’er couldn’t help but sneer, as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world.

Then, she couldn’t be bothered to glance at Ye Chen again and followed Duanmu Jie out of the courtyard.

Soon, the entire courtyard became empty, leaving only Ye Chen and the other two.

Cough, cough, cough.

At this moment, the Red Divine Eagle behind Ye Ming suddenly vanished without a trace, and he continuously coughed up a large amount of blood.

”Foster father.” Ye Chen hurriedly supported Ye Ming’s incredibly weak body, feeling as if his heart was being cut with a knife.

”Don’t worry, I’m fine. Chen’er, the talent recruitment assessment starts tomorrow. You just returned from the Canglan Mountain Range and must be exhausted; go and rest.” Ye Ming waved his hand.

In fact, he was already at his wits’ end.

If within a few days, they couldn’t find a way to repair his Dantian, he would definitely become crippled.

He didn’t tell Ye Chen to avoid affecting his assessment tomorrow.

”Foster father, I will definitely obtain that Purple Heart Fruit to heal your Dantian.” Ye Chen’s nose tingled, vowing in his heart.

His foster father, Ye Chen, had sacrificed too much for him.

He really didn’t want to see Ye Ming become a cripple.

So, regardless of the cost, he must obtain that Purple Heart Fruit.

”Master, with your current strength, you cannot defeat a Tier Two Demon Beast. Unless you can cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the First Layer of Perfection, which normally takes at least ten days.” The Tower Spirit’s voice suddenly echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.

”What? It takes that long?” Ye Chen shuddered violently, his face turning exceedingly gloomy.

His foster father might not endure for that long.

”That’s under normal circumstances, but under special conditions, the time can be shortened. You should start cultivating this War Body now, or it will be too late.” The Tower Spirit quickly urged Ye Chen.

”Foster father, I need some Spirit Stones for cultivation, as many as possible. Do you have any Spirit Stones?” After returning to the room, Ye Chen directly asked Ye Ming.

Ye Ming has served as the Patriarch of the Ye Family for decades, managing the family’s wealth, and often venturing into the Canglan Mountain Range to slay Demon Beasts, suggesting he should have some savings.

”I’ve saved tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in total, which were always meant for you. Now it’s time for me to hand them over to you.” Ye Ming said with a slight smile.

He had always believed that one day Ye Chen would recover his Dantian and embark on the path of cultivation.

Therefore, he had prepared tens of thousands of Spirit Stones for Ye Chen early on.

However, all these Spirit Stones were Ordinary Spirit Stones.

After all, Profound Spirit Stones were extremely rare, and even Ye Ming found it difficult to collect them.

Soon after, Ye Ming led Ye Chen into an underground secret chamber.

In this chamber, there were large wooden boxes, filled with glistening white Spirit Stones upon opening.

Even Ye Chen stood aside, stunned.

In his life, he had never seen so many Ordinary Spirit Stones!

You must know, with a hundred Ordinary Spirit Stones, a cultivator could open up a Sea of Qi.

And here, at least fifty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones were present, enough to train five True Qi Realm Tenth Layer experts.

This level of expert was extremely rare, even in the Ye Family.

”Master, these Spirit Stones are already enough to allow you to cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm. By then, you will possess the Power of a Hundred Tigers, and crushing ordinary Tier Two Demon Beasts will be no big deal.” The Tower Spirit couldn’t help but show a hint of anticipation in its eyes.

”What, the Power of a Hundred Tigers, isn’t that equivalent to having the strength that a hundred Sea of Qis could provide?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but gasp, his expression extremely shocked.

You must know, for True Qi Realm cultivators, each Sea of Qi in their body holds the power of one Tiger.

Even a True Qi Realm Tenth Layer expert only has the power of ten Tigers.

Yet, Ye Chen, by cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, could possess the Power of a Hundred Tigers.

This is simply heaven-defying.

”It’s just the Power of a Hundred Tigers; nothing amazing. Once Master cultivates the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to an even higher realm, it will gradually show its true power. The Foundation Establishment Realm is merely an appetizer.” The Tower Spirit said with a smile.

”Then let me start cultivating immediately.” Ye Chen’s face was filled with eagerness.

”Chen’er, I’ll leave you now.” Ye Ming, as if he could see through Ye Chen’s thoughts, didn’t linger in the secret chamber.

Soon, only Ye Chen was left in the secret chamber.

”Master, the first step in cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body is to condense a Myriad Dao Space deep within the Dantian. Once you condense the Myriad Dao Space, it can store any amount of strength, which can then be used to gradually temper your body.” The Tower Spirit’s soul body floated out of Ye Chen’s body, guiding him from the side.

To condense the Myriad Dao Space, one must first condense the Divine Soul Puppet and have cultivated Martial Arts to the Perfection Realm.

Ye Chen had already met both these conditions.

Therefore, as long as he followed the guidance of the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique, he could condense the Myriad Dao Space within his Dantian.

Buzz.

The next moment, Ye Chen activated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique, beginning to condense the Myriad Dao Space.

Above his head, multi-colored auspicious energy suddenly descended, enveloping his entire being, as if he were a Celestial God descending to earth.

This cosmic phenomenon only manifests when cultivating exceptionally heaven-defying techniques.

If anyone saw this scene, they would be left speechless in shock.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed.

”Succeeded, I finally condensed the Myriad Dao Space.” At this moment, Ye Chen abruptly opened his eyes, his expression filled with extreme excitement.

Rumble.

At the instant Ye Chen condensed the Myriad Dao Space, a vast starry sky suddenly emerged around him, filled with countless Divine Demons falling, letting out terribly mournful wails.

Immediately after, Ye Chen saw incomparably prosperous worlds, exploding like fireworks before his eyes.

This birth and death of worlds phenomenon was too soul-stirring; even Ye Chen was stunned on the spot.

”I’ve only just condensed a Myriad Dao Space, yet such terrifying phenomena have been created. This Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body is truly heaven-defying.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh, his expression filled with extreme excitement.

As he knew, whether awakening bloodlines or cultivating techniques, the more shocking the phenomena they create, the more heaven-defying they are.

And the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body could even produce phenomena of Divine Falls and World Birth and Death.

What level of greatness has it reached?
