Supreme Lord of Towers

In the Ancient Forest, the black-robed elder’s face looked extremely gloomy, his gaze coldly fixed on Ye Chen, as if he were looking at a monster.

He couldn’t believe until now that Ye Chen could withstand his attack with just his body.

It must be known that Ye Chen’s cultivation was only at the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer, which was nothing more than an ant in front of him, a Qi Dao Master at the Gang Qi Realm Sixth Layer.

He had originally thought that he could easily crush Ye Chen to death.

But he didn’t expect Ye Chen’s performance to be so heaven-defying; even his master, Duanmu Jie, wasn’t this strong at the True Qi Realm Fourth Layer.

”A waste who can’t even awaken his bloodline, how can he have such a powerful body? There must be some unknown secret hidden within him. If I can force this secret out of him, my strength might undergo a drastic change,” greed suddenly gleamed in the narrow eyes of the black-robed elder.

His cultivation, though having entered the Gang Qi Realm Sixth Layer, had exhausted its potential.

In this lifetime, barring unexpected events, he would never become a Qi Dao Grandmaster at the Celestial Spirit Realm.

But now, he saw a glimmer of hope from Ye Chen.

Thump, thump, thump.

Just then, a powerful and vigorous heartbeat suddenly resounded in the Ancient Forest, as if a Divine Drum was being struck.

This heartbeat actually came from within Xiao Hui.

There was still a massive blood hole in her chest, looking extremely horrifying.

However, her originally damaged heart was slowly recovering, and even her aura was growing stronger.

”Foster mother! Wonderful, the Evolutionary Power is starting to take effect.” Ye Chen couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

As long as Xiao Hui’s heart could slowly recover, she shouldn’t be in life-threatening danger.

”Damn it, little brat, what exactly did you do to her just now?” The black-robed elder couldn’t help but inhale sharply, as if witnessing the most incredible event in the world.

To his knowledge, he had clearly pierced through Xiao Hui’s heart completely.

Not to mention a True Qi Realm Tenth Layer cultivator like Xiao Hui, even a high-standing Qi Dao Grandmaster would be dead without a doubt from such a severe injury.

But just now, Ye Chen managed something unknown that allowed Xiao Hui’s damaged heart to slowly recover.

Such a method, perhaps only the legendary Divine Spirit could possess!

”Madam.” Ye Ming gazed intently at Xiao Hui, who was in a coma, his expression ecstatic beyond belief, almost unable to trust his eyes.

He had thought he was about to lose his beloved wife.

After all, it’s almost impossible to save someone with a critically injured heart.

But now, his wife was slowly recovering, making him feel as if he were dreaming.

”Ye Chen, I didn’t expect there would be so many secrets hidden on you, I underestimated you! However, even if you really saved her, so what? For me to kill her again would be as easy as the snap of a finger.” The black-robed elder said expressionlessly, killing intent surging all over his body.

”Old thing, I won’t let you succeed again.” Ye Chen’s figure flickered, quickly flying toward Xiao Hui and Ye Ming.

He had barely managed to save his foster mother, how could he let the black-robed elder harm her again?

”Just with you, you want to protect them? Without even considering your own abilities, I forgot to tell you, I just used sixty percent of my strength, and already beat you like a stray dog. Tell me, what will you use to fight me?” The black-robed elder’s lips were full of thick mockery, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a lamb to the slaughter.

”Tower Spirit, can my Human Emperor’s Space really not bring in any other living creatures?” Ye Chen frowned tightly, a face full of reluctance.

”That’s right, apart from you, no other living creatures can enter the Human Emperor’s Space.” The Tower Spirit sighed helplessly.

”Damn it!” Ye Chen’s teeth couldn’t help but clench tightly together, his face turning extremely unsightly.

If the Human Emperor’s Space could also bring in other living beings,

then he could use the Human Emperor’s Space to rescue his foster father and foster mother.

No matter how powerful the black-robed elder’s strength was, it absolutely couldn’t break into the Human Emperor’s Space.

But now, this plan had completely become a bubble.

What exactly should he do to save his foster father and foster mother?

”Yes, Master, you can try using the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice. It can already threaten a strong practitioner at the Gang Qi Realm Sixth Layer.” The Tower Spirit suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Ye Chen.

”Exquisite Purple Ice? I understand now.” Ye Chen’s body suddenly trembled, a striking sharp light burst out from his eyes.

It must be known that even the cold Qi exuded by the Exquisite Purple Ice could easily freeze to death True Qi Realm cultivators.

If Ye Chen could activate the true power of the Exquisite Purple Ice to hit the black-robed elder, even he would probably find it hard to withstand.

This was undoubtedly the only hope to defeat the black-robed elder.

However, the black-robed elder had always kept a certain distance from Ye Chen, and hitting him was not an easy task; he could only use a surprise tactic.

With a buzzing loud noise,

at this moment, a violent Gang Qi suddenly surged out from the black-robed elder’s body, like a raging tide, with impressive momentum to the extreme.

The next moment, with the black-robed elder at its center, an area with a radius of six zhang was immediately engulfed by the vigorous Gang Qi, like a copper wall and iron bastion, firmly guarding the black-robed elder in the center.

”Six zhang Gang Qi.” Ye Chen’s face couldn’t help but change dramatically.

Gang Qi is a power far more terrifying than True Qi, only derived by a Qi Dao Master.

Under normal circumstances, the power contained in one zhang of Gang Qi is equivalent to the power of fifty tigers.

And this black-robed elder before him actually possessed six zhang of Gang Qi, equivalent to the power of three hundred tigers.

Even if Ye Chen pushed the power of the Human Emperor Body to the extreme, it was still far from enough in front of him.

”My strength is still far too weak. Even a Qi Dao Master at the Gang Qi Realm can threaten me. I must become stronger, otherwise don’t even mention avenging my parents, I won’t even be able to protect myself.” Ye Chen’s fists couldn’t help but clench tightly, heart filled with an immense desire for strength.

It must be known that the people who killed his parents were strong practitioners from the Divine Spirit Family, the Ye Clan.

Any one of them could easily crush a Qi Dao Master like the black-robed elder.

Even the Qi Dao Grandmasters in the Celestial Flame Dynasty are nothing but ants in front of them.

With Ye Chen’s current strength, wanting to avenge his parents is simply a joke.

So, he must find every possible way to enhance his strength.

”Ye Chen, let me show you my true strength. Don’t you really want to protect your foster father and mother? Then I’ll fulfill your wish.” A grim smile suddenly flashed across the black-robed elder’s lips, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, a sharply fierce battle sword appeared.

This battle sword was about one meter long, wholly black like ink, exuding an extraordinarily sharp aura.

”Be careful, that is a low-grade spiritual artifact.” Ye Ming couldn’t help exclaiming, his face becoming extremely grim.

In the Mortal Realm of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, weapons are divided into ordinary weapons, sharp weapons, and spiritual artifacts.

Among them, sharp weapons are already extremely rare, able to cut through iron like mud and are amazingly valuable, not something ordinary True Qi Realm cultivators can afford.

For instance, a Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert like Tuoba Lie has a sharp weapon.

As for spiritual artifacts, they are even rarer; even among the three major families of Kunzhou Prefecture, there are only a few.

Moreover, these spiritual artifacts are generally the lowest, low-grade spiritual artifacts.

Middle-grade and upper-grade spiritual artifacts are typically only possessed by those prominent families in the Royal Capital.

And now, the black-robed elder in front of him actually took out a low-grade spiritual artifact to deal with Ye Chen.

This, for Ye Chen, was absolutely an exacerbating situation.

”Master, a low-grade spiritual artifact already counts as a type of magical treasure, its sharpness is beyond ordinary weapons. Even the body of a Tier Two Demon Beast can be easily split; even if you have the Human Emperor Body, you absolutely can’t afford to be careless, if you’re not careful and get struck, it can be dangerous,” warned the Tower Spirit, its expression turning extremely solemn.
