Supreme Lord of Towers

Tick tock, tick tock.

In the quiet Ancient Forest, drops of bright red blood continuously dripped from the wound on Ye Chen’s abdomen, falling to the ground.

This wound was a whole inch long, looking extremely grim and terrifying.

If it were an ordinary person’s body, having such a severe wound would pose a life-threatening situation at any moment.

However, Ye Chen’s body was no longer the same as before, and the muscles around his wound actually squirmed by themselves, quickly stopping the blood flow.

Otherwise, he would eventually die from excessive blood loss.

This is one of the benefits brought by cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body.

Ye Chen’s Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body, even though it hasn’t reached the First Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, already possesses such a strong recovery power.

It’s hard to imagine, if Ye Chen one day cultivates the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to a very high level, how powerful his recovery would get?

Perhaps even if his arm was severed, he could regenerate it.

”Tower Spirit, I was indeed using this Demon Beast to temper my body just now, and with my current body’s defense power, as long as it doesn’t exceed ten Tiger Power, it’s hard to kill me,” Ye Chen nodded.

Just now, at the instant he was struck by the Phantom Leopard, he instinctively activated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique.

So, the attack of the Phantom Leopard was instead used by him to accelerate his body’s tempering speed.

Of course, this was mainly because Ye Chen’s body’s defense power is much stronger than a day ago.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand that blow from the Phantom Leopard.

”Ten Tiger Power indeed can’t kill you instantly, but if you get hit too many times, you won’t be able to endure it,” Tower Spirit said with a worried frown.

”There’s no choice, I must get that Purple Heart Fruit. Of course, if there really is a life-threatening situation, I will retreat into the Human Emperor’s Space at the first moment,” Ye Chen’s expression was incomparably determined.

With his current body’s defense power, he can withstand the attack of ten Tiger Power.

So, as long as he can weaken the Phantom Leopard’s attack to around ten Tiger Power each time, he can hold on for a while.

During this time, if he can pick that Purple Heart Fruit, he should have hope of getting away unscathed.

After all, he has one chance each day to enter the Human Emperor’s Space.

As long as he hides in the Human Emperor’s Space, no matter how strong that Phantom Leopard becomes, it absolutely cannot harm him.

It’s known that the Human Emperor’s Space was personally created by the Supreme Human Emperor, even the Divine Spirit would find it hard to force entry, let alone a little Tier Two Demon Beast.

”Master, you must be careful and make sure not to be hit in a vital spot by the Phantom Leopard,” Tower Spirit couldn’t help but warn Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s body’s defense power is indeed very strong.

However, if his head and heart are severely damaged, he would die instantly.

Unless one day, Ye Chen could cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to a very high level, by then, even if his body is beaten to a pulp, he could regenerate it.

As for now, Ye Chen is still far from that level!

Therefore, he must protect his head and heart, or he could be killed at any moment.

”That Purple Heart Fruit is only a hundred or so yards away from me. If I can withstand a few more attacks from the Phantom Leopard, I should be able to get close to the Purple Heart Fruit,” a sharp light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

Swish.

In the next moment, he pushed the True Qi in his body to the limit and used the Spiritual Ape Step, his body instantly turning into a shadow, disappearing from the spot.

At this time, his speed was almost twice as fast as when he fought Xiao Lan.

Even if the distance was over a hundred yards, he could reach it in five breaths.

Unfortunately, that Phantom Leopard would absolutely not let him have his wish.

After all, the Purple Heart Fruit is extremely important to that Phantom Leopard, capable of causing a tremendous change in its strength.

The reason it hasn’t devoured the Purple Heart Fruit immediately is that it’s waiting for it to mature.

Only when the Purple Heart Fruit is fully mature is it at its best, doubling the effect of its immature state.

Therefore, no matter how much the Phantom Leopard wants to enhance its strength, it has been enduring patiently.

Roar.

In the dark canyon, when the Phantom Leopard saw Ye Chen flying towards the Purple Heart Fruit, a thick mocking light flashed in its eyes, as if ridiculing Ye Chen’s overestimation of himself.

Whoosh.

The next instant, the Phantom Leopard’s body moved like a gust of wind, racing swiftly towards Ye Chen.

There’s no denying, its speed was too fast.

Even if Ye Chen used the Spiritual Ape Step, he was nowhere near as fast as the opponent, as if comparing a baby to an adult.

In less than the time of one breath, the body of the Phantom Leopard appeared in front of Ye Chen, with terrifying fierce light gleaming in its eyes, making one shudder with fear.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

This time, the Phantom Leopard did not use its claws to attack Ye Chen, but instead swung the three tails behind it, whipping towards Ye Chen in unison.

”Thousand Shadows Fist.” Ye Chen’s expression was as serious as it could be, quickly executing another Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts technique, the ”Thousand Shadows Fist.”

Although the power of the ”Thousand Shadows Fist” couldn’t compare to sword techniques like the ”Profound Gold Sword Technique,” its attack speed was much faster, making it most suitable for blocking the Phantom Leopard’s attack.

Bam, bam, bam.

In a flash, Ye Chen’s fists were rapidly swinging in the air, and the True Qi around his body quickly condensed into countless giant fists, densely meeting the Phantom Leopard’s tails like meteors.

Rumble.

The air was suddenly filled with ear-piercing explosion sounds.

The True Qi fists Ye Chen condensed seemed plentiful, but in front of the Phantom Leopard’s three tails, they burst like paper.

Wow!

Immediately following, Ye Chen’s body was fiercely struck by those three tails, flying sideways like a bird with broken wings, fresh blood continuously spewing from his mouth.

This time, Ye Chen flew back more than ten zhang away before falling to the ground, creating a huge pit in the ground, with dust floating all around.

”Master, are you alright?” The Tower Spirit’s voice spoke anxiously.

”Still not dead.” Ye Chen struggled to stand up from the ground, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.

Just now, although the Phantom Leopard’s attack had been weakened by Ye Chen to about the strength of ten tigers, it simultaneously hit three parts of Ye Chen’s body, breaking several of his ribs.

However, Ye Chen still stubbornly endured it.

”Twenty percent, only twenty percent of the stored power remains in the Myriad Dao Space, as long as I can withstand a few more attacks, my Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body will completely reach the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm.” Ye Chen spoke excitedly.

Even he did not expect the Phantom Leopard’s attack would have such a beneficial effect on him.

But, will the Phantom Leopard give him another chance?

Ye Chen could clearly feel that the Phantom Leopard had only been toying with him all along, not going all out.

If the opponent really exerted its full strength, Ye Chen probably wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single blow.

Now, Ye Chen could only hope that the Phantom Leopard continued to underestimate him, slowly killing him like prey.

Otherwise, he would have no chance of getting close to that Purple Heart Fruit.

Roar.

At that moment, a terrifying roar emerged from the Phantom Leopard’s mouth, making the surrounding leaves tremble.

At this moment, Ye Chen could clearly feel an immensely terrifying killing intent emanating from within the Phantom Leopard’s body.

Clearly, it no longer intended to play with Ye Chen.

”Not good.” Ye Chen’s face changed suddenly, quickly pushing his speed to the limit, continuing to fly toward the Purple Heart Fruit.

As his Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body got closer to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, his speed improved yet again.

But compared to the Phantom Leopard, he was still far behind.

Just as Ye Chen was less than 20 zhang from the Purple Heart Fruit, the Phantom Leopard appeared behind him once more, opening its bloodied mouth, spitting out an incredibly sharp Wind Blade at Ye Chen.

”Master, quickly retreat into the Human Emperor’s Space,” Tower Spirit shouted urgently.

”No, I should still be able to withstand its attack.” Ye Chen’s expression was filled with an extreme unwillingness, even his facial features slightly twisted together.

As soon as he entered the Human Emperor’s Space, it would mean missing the Purple Heart Fruit.

Buzz.

In the next instant, he pushed the power of the ”Five Elements Sword Technique” to the extreme, the True Qi around his body instantly condensing into a dazzling Five-Colored Sword Aura, fiercely clashing with that Wind Blade.

Pff, pff.

However, what Ye Chen didn’t expect was that the Wind Blade spat out by the Phantom Leopard this time was much more formidable than the last, effortlessly shattering the Five-Colored Sword Aura.

By the time Ye Chen reacted, the Wind Blade was already before him, a strike he couldn’t avoid.

”Human Emperor’s Space.” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, about to enter the Human Emperor’s Space.

”Not good, it’s too late.” Tower Spirit’s face turned even paler than a dead person’s.

With a puffing sound.

Just as Ye Chen activated the Human Emperor’s Space, that Wind Blade hit his chest squarely, even his Protective True Qi around his body was like paper, offering no protection at all.

Fresh red blood immediately gushed out from Ye Chen’s chest like a fountain.

Just one strike, and Ye Chen suffered unimaginable damage, his ribs were nearly all broken, even his heart was faintly exposed, making one’s hair stand on end.

If Ye Chen hadn’t at the critical moment dodged into the Human Emperor’s Space, avoiding part of the Wind Blade’s force, he certainly would be dead.
