Supreme Lord of Towers

In the dense ancient forest, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the surrounding vegetation was covered with a thick layer of frost, as if winter had arrived.

Even Ye Ming felt a piercing chill.

Fortunately, there was a distance of over a hundred yards between him and Ye Chen; otherwise, without the ability to use Gang Qi, he might really have frozen to death.

Of course, this was intentional by Ye Chen.

He deeply understood how terrifying the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice was, so he deliberately kept a certain distance from Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, afraid of accidentally harming them.

”Could this be the Secret Treasure that Brother Ye Qi left for Ye Chen? It can actually suppress the Gang Qi of a Qi Dao Master.” Ye Ming was both shocked and excited.

He could also see that the Gang Qi released by the black-robed elder was being suppressed by the purple cold Qi, at most capable of unleashing only half its power.

In this way, Ye Chen might really have a chance to defeat the opponent.

”Damn, this purple cold Qi is too freezing. If I don’t use Gang Qi to resist it, I might get frostbitten at any moment.” The black-robed elder’s face became extremely gloomy, activating his Gang Qi to the extreme, exerting all his effort to resist the invasion of the purple cold Qi.

His cultivation, although reaching the Sixth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, had a physical body not much different from an ordinary person.

If he accidentally got hit by the purple cold Qi, he could turn into an ice sculpture at any moment.

So, he absolutely wouldn’t allow the purple cold Qi to approach him.

”Master, your chance has come. More than half of that guy’s Gang Qi is used to fend off the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice, and his combat power has greatly diminished. Perhaps you might really be able to kill him.” The Tower Spirit’s eyes flashed with brilliance, quickly reminding Ye Chen.

”Old fool, it’s time to die!” Ye Chen, with a thought, pushed the power of the Human Emperor Body to the extreme, his muscles swelling as he turned into a humanoid beast, instantly appearing three yards away from the black-robed elder.

”You little brat, do you really think you can defeat me? That’s just a fool’s dream. Today, no matter how much you struggle, you’re destined to die.” The black-robed elder sneered, his expression full of disdain.

Even with half of his power suppressed by the Exquisite Purple Ice, he was absolutely confident he could crush Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen’s Human Emperor Body could at most unleash the Power of a Hundred Tigers, which was still quite a distance from his power.

Swish, swish, swish.

The next moment, the black-robed elder swung the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand, slashing out three cyan Sword Auras, intending to slice Ye Chen into pieces.

”Thirty-two Sea of Qi, explode for me.” At this moment, an immense True Qi surged from within Ye Chen, enveloping him entirely.

Immediately after, he executed the Spiritual Ape Step, leaving behind numerous afterimages where he stood, making it impossible to tell which one was real.

Slap, slap, slap.

In a flash, the three cyan Sword Auras from the black-robed elder sliced through the afterimages, but not a single drop of blood spurted out.

”No way! How can his True Qi be so immense?” The black-robed elder’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

According to his information, Ye Chen’s Qi Sea Foundation was five times that of an ordinary cultivator, having developed twenty Seas of Qi.

However, such strength was a joke in front of him, something he had never cared about.

But now, Ye Chen had unleashed the power of thirty-two Seas of Qi, suddenly boosting his speed significantly.

Even the black-robed elder’s Gale Sword Technique could not hit his true form.

This was totally beyond the black-robed elder’s expectations.

”Old bastard, die by my Thousand Shadows Fist.” As the black-robed elder was shocked, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear, making his hair stand on end.

Ye Chen’s figure, unnoticed, had already circled behind the black-robed elder, his fist emitting a white jade-like glow, pounding towards him densely like meteors.

Bang, bang, bang.

Loud, piercing sounds of tearing through the air echoed as snow-white air waves surged out.

At this moment, Ye Chen not only pushed the power of the Human Emperor Body to its limit but also harnessed the True Qi of thirty-two Seas of Qi.

Thus, the force he unleashed was approaching the Power of a Hundred and Fifty Tigers, enough to match the Third Layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

In contrast, the black-robed elder’s Gang Qi had been suppressed by the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice by around half, able to unleash the Power of a Hundred and Fifty Tigers at best.

With this ebb and flow, it was possible that Ye Chen might indeed blast him to death.

Crash, crash, crash.

In a flash, Ye Chen’s fists kept pounding into the black-robed elder’s Protective Gang Qi, leaving numerous large holes.

Even several fist shadows successfully pierced the black-robed elder’s Protective Gang Qi, viciously striking his body.

Whoops.

The next moment, a tragic scream erupted from the black-robed elder’s mouth as he flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Blood continuously gushed from his mouth, and several of his bones fractured.

If it weren’t for the fact that most of Ye Chen’s power was blocked by his Protective Gang Qi, he would have surely been a dead man by now.

After all, his physical body was too weak. Let alone bearing the power of a hundred tigers, even the power of ten tigers would be hard for him to withstand.

”What a great opportunity,” the Tower Spirit said, looking exceedingly excited, as if it had already seen the dawn of victory.

Swish.

Ye Chen’s eyes shot out a cold glare, and with a flash of his form, he transformed into a stream of light, rapidly pursuing the black-robed elder.

The black-robed elder was still in a stunned state from the blow. If Ye Chen could seize the opportunity, he could finish him off in one strike.

”You little brat, you actually injured me. I will never let you off, die!” At this moment, an incredibly angry roar erupted from the black-robed elder’s mouth, his facial features twisting together, looking particularly ferocious.

He, a Sixth Layer powerhouse of the Gang Qi Realm, even held a respectable position within the Celestial Flame Dynasty’s royal capital.

Yet now, he was actually injured by a mere True Qi Realm ant.

To him, this was a humiliation that could never be washed away in his lifetime.

So at this moment, he was filled with rage, wishing he could immediately tear Ye Chen to pieces.

Bam bam bam.

But the black-robed elder’s response was a series of terrifying fist shadows.

By this time, Ye Chen had caught up to the black-robed elder, and once again pushed his power to the extreme, unleashing the ”Thousand Shadows Fist” in an attempt to deliver a fatal blow to the elder.

Roar.

At this moment, a terrifying beast roar suddenly emanated from within the black-robed elder, sending chills down the spine.

Immediately after, a massive black serpent, five zhang long, appeared behind the elder, its gigantic tail swinging like a divine whip as it lashed out fiercely at Ye Chen.

With a thunderous boom.

The myriad fist shadows vanished without a trace.

The power of that black serpent was terrifying, not only instantly neutralizing Ye Chen’s attack but also striking Ye Chen, sending him flying.

”Damn it, it’s his bloodline power.” Ye Chen’s face turned extremely grim, his eyes filled with deep resentment.

Just a step away, he could have killed the black-robed elder, but unexpectedly, the elder managed to unleash his bloodline power.

The black serpent, not only enormous in size but also capable of releasing terrifying power, comparable to at least the power of two hundred tigers.

If not for Ye Chen’s Wan Dao Human Emperor Body’s immense defensive power, he would have suffered severe injuries by now.

”You damned brat, forcing me to use my bloodline power means you can die proudly, but I won’t give you any more chances.” The black-robed elder’s hair fluttered wildly in the wind, his eyes emitting a terrifying ferocity that sent shivers down the spine.

Roar.

In the next moment, he injected his Gang Qi into the black serpent and viciously charged at Ye Chen.

This was his awakened Yellow Level Fourth Grade bloodline, known as the Black Earth Profound Snake Bloodline, with extremely terrifying power.

Even suppressed by the Exquisite Purple Ice, it could still unleash the power of two hundred tigers.

”Be careful, Chen’er.” Ye Ming couldn’t help but exclaim, his face turning pale.

At this moment, the black serpent appeared before Ye Chen, its enormous body like a mountain range, lashing fiercely at him.

With a loud bang.

No matter how much strength Ye Chen exerted, he couldn’t withstand the power of the black serpent, his body once again sent flying dozens of zhang, with blood spewing from his mouth.

”Master, quickly retreat into the Human Emperor’s Space, or you will die,” the Tower Spirit urgently advised.

Although the black serpent couldn’t kill Ye Chen in a short time, if it dragged on, even Ye Chen’s Wan Dao Human Emperor Body wouldn’t last.

”No, I won’t give up until the last moment,” Ye Chen said with resolute determination.

If he hid in the Human Emperor’s Space, he might survive, but he’d have to watch helplessly as his foster father and mother died at the hands of the black-robed elder.

That would be worse than death for him.

Hiss.

At this moment, the black serpent suddenly appeared beside Ye Chen, its immense body wrapping around him.

No matter how much Ye Chen struggled, he couldn’t break free from the black serpent.

”You brat, let’s see where you’ll escape this time,” the black-robed elder, surrounded by the black serpent, said with a sinister expression.

Swish.

In the next moment, he wielded his Low Grade Spiritual Artifact, stabbing fiercely at Ye Chen’s chest.
