Supreme Lord of Towers

In the Ancient Forest, the sharp sound of something piercing through the air echoed.

The Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact in the hand of the elderly man in the black robe shimmered with a terrifying cold light, its sharpness at an extreme point. In an instant, it broke through Ye Chen’s Protective True Qi and pierced his chest.

A loud clang resounded.

The next moment, sparks flew from the layer on Ye Chen’s chest, which was akin to white jade scales, emitting a piercing metallic collision sound.

However, although this keratinous defense was incredibly strong, more resilient than refined iron, it still could not withstand the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact in the hands of the elderly man in the black robe.

After all, the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact was so sharp that it could easily pierce through the body of a Tier Two Demon Beast.

Even though Ye Chen’s chest muscles had transformed, they were still unable to resist its sharpness.

Pfft.

In an instant, bright red blood spurted from Ye Chen’s chest.

The Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact immediately embedded itself in Ye Chen’s chest, about to completely pierce through his heart.

And at that moment, Ye Chen had no time to retreat into the Human Emperor’s Space.

”Little brat, go to hell and repent. After I kill you, I will send your adoptive father and mother down to accompany you, so you can go peacefully.” The elderly man in the black robe grinned hideously, his lips twisted with thick malice.

”No, I’m unwilling, I have not yet avenged my parents, nor saved my adoptive father and mother. How can I just die like this?” Ye Chen was extremely unwilling, roaring furiously in his heart.

He originally thought that after obtaining the Human Emperor Inheritance, he could rise to prominence, becoming an unparalleled powerhouse, ascend to the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family, and avenge his biological parents.

But now, his cultivation had just stepped into the True Qi Realm, and he was about to die here.

How could he be willing to accept this?

Moreover, once he died, the elderly man in the black robe would certainly not spare his adoptive father and mother.

How could he bear to let his adoptive father and mother be buried with him!

”Survive, I must survive.” Ye Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth clenching together with an ear-piercing sound, as if they might shatter at any moment.

At this moment, a deep-seated obsession emerged in his heart.

That was to survive no matter what.

Only by surviving could he save his adoptive father and mother, could he avenge his biological parents.

If he died just like this, he would truly die with regrets.

Buzz.

Just as the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact in the elderly man’s hand was about to pierce into Ye Chen’s heart, a mysterious and extreme force suddenly surged forth from the depths of the Human Emperor’s Space, causing the surrounding time and space to freeze.

The elderly man’s body froze in place, even his breathing seemed to halt.

And the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand also came to a complete stop in the void, less than a millimeter away from Ye Chen’s heart.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen narrowly saved his life.

”Tower Spirit, what is going on?” Ye Chen’s pupils contracted suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

However, before he had time to think about it, his entire body disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he found himself in a vast and boundless starry sky.

This starry sky was filled with countless stars.

In the depths of the starry sky, there were also one hundred and eight giant blazing suns, emitting scorching heat as if possessing the power to incinerate the universe.

This was precisely the place where Ye Chen last inherited the Human Emperor Inheritance.

In fact, since Ye Chen last acquired the Evolution Divine Tower, he had not seen this starry sky again.

This place, although part of the interior of the Human Emperor’s Space, was not accessible to Ye Chen at will.

Usually, he could only enter the outermost area of the Human Emperor’s Space.

As for the Evolution Divine Tower, the size of a star, though also within this starry sky, Ye Chen had only entered it once.

It was on that occasion that he successfully opened nine Seas of Qi and became a Cultivator.

Since then, however, Ye Chen found himself unable to enter the Evolution Divine Tower again.

Each time, he could only use the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique to invoke the power of the Evolution Divine Tower.

The Tower Spirit had once told him this was because his strength was still too weak, unable to fully gain the recognition of the Evolution Divine Tower.

Were he to become strong enough one day, he wouldn’t just be able to enter the Evolution Divine Tower; he could even summon the entire Evolution Divine Tower directly.

”Tower Spirit, why am I here again? Oh no, once that old man discovers my disappearance, he’ll surely target my adoptive father and mother.” Ye Chen’s body trembled suddenly, his face turning livid.

”Master, rest assured, the flow of time here is slower than the outside world by a thousandfold. Even if you stay here for a day, there won’t be much change outside,” the Tower Spirit said with a slight smile, his expression extremely delighted.

He truly hadn’t expected that Ye Chen would be able to unlock the second legacy within the Human Emperor’s Space at this moment.

If he were any later, he would surely have died under the sword of that black-robed elder.

”How can there be such a miraculous power in the world, capable of altering the flow of time?” Ye Chen was stunned, his eyes full of incredulity.

However, upon considering that this place was a space constructed by the Supreme Human Emperor, Ye Chen quickly became at ease.

Existences like the Supreme Human Emperor, who could easily slay Divine Spirits, could achieve heaven-defying feats, which Ye Chen could accept.

Rumble.

At this time, terrifying thunderclaps suddenly resonated from the depths of the starry sky, making Ye Chen’s soul tremble uncontrollably.

He saw massive bolts of lightning appear, thicker than mountains, their power extremely frightening, crushing stars into dust wherever they passed.

In the depths of the lightning, gigantic Divine Towers vaguely emerged, emitting an unparalleled sense of oppression, as if they could crush the universe itself.

”Master, the Human Emperor Tower consists of eight towers. Previously, you only inherited one of them! As for the other Divine Towers, you need to cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to a certain realm to gradually inherit them, and just now, you unlocked the seal of the second Divine Tower, so you’ve been transported here,” the Tower Spirit said with excitement.

In fact, when Ye Chen cultivated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, he already had the opportunity to unlock the seal of the second Divine Tower.

However, unlocking this seal requires a certain opportunity.

This was one of the tests the Human Emperor left for Ye Chen.

Just now, Ye Chen developed an intense obsession in order to save his adoptive father and mother.

Perhaps it was this obsession that unlocked the seal of the second Divine Tower.

”So, I turned misfortune into a blessing this time,” Ye Chen’s lips revealed a bitter smile.

Earlier, he nearly died at the hands of the black-robed elder, only to successfully unlock the seal of the second Divine Tower.

If every time it’s like this to unlock the seals of the other Divine Towers, it would be a cruel torture for him.

This kind of torture, he truly did not want to experience again.

”To become a true powerhouse, besides talent, the mind is extremely important. The Supreme Human Emperor probably wants you to understand this, and only things that are hard-earned can be cherished,” the Tower Spirit couldn’t help explaining to Ye Chen.

”Yes, I understand. I wonder what function the second Divine Tower has? Can it help me kill that old b*****d?” Ye Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but shoot out a cold light.

If after inheriting the second Divine Tower, he still couldn’t kill the black-robed elder.

Then his adoptive father and mother would still face certain death.

Therefore, he eagerly hoped the second Divine Tower would grant him great strength.

”You will soon find out,” the Tower Spirit said with a smile.

Buzz.

Immediately, a dazzling golden divine light burst forth from the void, enveloping Ye Chen entirely, taking him swiftly towards the dense lightning in the depths of the starry sky.

”These lightning bolts are so terrifying, can this divine light withstand them?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but gasp, feeling a chill down his spine.

It’s known that the incoming lightning bolts are each thicker than mountains, emitting an aura of destruction that could pulverize stars with ease.

Even Divine Spirits encountering them would face certain death.

If Ye Chen were struck by them accidentally, he would surely vanish from this world instantly.

Whoosh.

Just when Ye Chen was extremely frightened, the golden divine light brought him rushing into the lightning.

Unexpectedly, those terrifying lightning bolts couldn’t touch the golden divine light at all, as if the golden divine light and the lightning were not in the same space-time.

Moments later, protected by the golden divine light, Ye Chen successfully passed through countless lightning bolts, appearing in another part of the starry sky.

”Is this the second Divine Tower?” Ye Chen’s body suddenly froze in place, his gaze fixed firmly on a towering Divine Tower in the starry sky, his eyes full of intense shock.

The Divine Tower before him was millions of meters tall, larger than many stars.

Even the Evolution Divine Tower seemed smaller in comparison.

If Ye Chen hadn’t seen the Evolution Divine Tower before, he would have been too shocked to speak.

He previously couldn’t imagine that such a gigantic Divine Tower could exist in the world.

Moreover, the material of this Divine Tower seems different from the Evolution Divine Tower.

The Evolution Divine Tower appears to be forged from countless True Dragons and Phoenixes, among other Divine Beasts.

Yet this Divine Tower seems to be carved from an unimaginably massive Divine Tree.
