Supreme Lord of Towers

Above the enormous square, the majority of young geniuses who came to take part in the assessment had their eyes focused on Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen was currently way too famous.

His cultivation was only at the Celestial Spirit Realm, yet he had made it onto the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s wanted list.

Such a situation was definitely a once-in-a-century occurrence.

”Hmph! I thought this Ye Chen had some amazing abilities. Turns out he’s just trash with a cultivation of only the second layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm. What nerve does this kind of trash have to offend the Azure Sky Immortal Sect? Who gave him the courage?” In the crowd, a young man wearing a golden battle robe sneered, his expression filled with disdain, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pitiful clown.

The young man’s name was Ji Cheng, from one of the top five families in Cang Province, the Ji Family.

Although Cang Province had many immortal families, the five most powerful were the Ji, Wang, Zheng, Zhou, and Xu families.

Someone like Zhou Long was a direct descendant of the Zhou Family.

”Brother Ji, I heard that this trash not only offended the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, but also killed the younger brothers of Wang Tian and Xiahou Ting, behaving utterly lawlessly.” Next to Ji Cheng, a strikingly beautiful woman sneered, her gaze filled with playful malice as she stared at Ye Chen.

Her name was Wang Shuang, from the Wang Family, one of the top five families.

”Ha! He sure doesn’t know what’s good for him. Wang Tian is a true disciple of Azure Sky Peak, highly regarded by the third elder there. For this trash to dare kill his brother, it’s a miracle he’s lived this long.” Ji Cheng’s eyes were full of mockery.

”Too bad, this trash has already been taken by Zhou Long. Otherwise, I really wanted to crush him myself, so I could receive the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s reward.” In the depths of Wang Shuang’s eyes, a terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted.

Now, Ye Chen had already made it onto the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s wanted list.

So, whoever could capture or kill him would receive a reward from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Although the reward wasn’t substantial, it still held some attraction for Wang Shuang.

”Hmph! Killing such trash is an insult to me. Since Zhou Long wants this credit so much, let him have it.” Ji Cheng said disdainfully, his eyes full of scorn and contempt.

He was, after all, a prodigy of the younger generation in the Ji Family, of unparalleled status.

And Ye Chen?

He was nothing but trash from a third-rate dynasty.

Killing such trash would just dirty his hands.

So, he had no interest in taking action against Ye Chen.

”Very true, our cultivation has already reached the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm. Once we comprehend true intent, we can become immortals in the Divine Mansion Realm. Killing such trash is indeed an insult to us. Zhou Long probably did this to curry favor with Lu Ping.” Wang Shuang sneered.

Lu Ping was a rising star in Overlord Body Peak.

He not only awoke an Earth Level Sixth Grade bloodline, but also had an extremely high body refining talent, which was rare in Overlord Body Peak.

So, even though he hadn’t yet comprehended true intent to become an immortal in the Divine Mansion Realm, he was greatly looked upon by the strong in Overlord Body Peak.

Especially the third elder of Overlord Body Peak, who had already chosen him as a closed-door disciple.

Once Lu Ping’s cultivation broke through to the Divine Mansion Realm, he could soar to great heights and become a true disciple of Overlord Body Peak.

Yet, the trash Ye Chen actually dared to kill Lu Ping’s father, Lu Tong.

He must have had enough of living.

So, in Wang Shuang’s view, Zhou Long was willing to lower himself to deal with Ye Chen, just to use Ye Chen’s head to please Lu Ping.

”Ye Chen, you ignorant dog, get down and apologize to me now. You killed Senior Brother Lu Ping’s father; that’s an unforgivable crime. I advise you not to struggle in vain. No one can save your pathetic life today.” At this moment, Zhou Long raised his head high and looked down at Ye Chen with extreme disdain, commanding him.

In fact, as Wang Shuang guessed, Zhou Long targeted Ye Chen because he wanted to use Ye Chen’s head to curry favor with Lu Ping.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deigned to bother with someone like Ye Chen, whose cultivation was only at the second layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

”Who do you think you are? Daring to demand I kneel, if you don’t get lost now, you’ll regret it.” A cold smile crossed Ye Chen’s lips, his tone overwhelmingly domineering.

Now, he had already received an invitation to enroll at Overlord Body Peak, essentially making him a disciple of Overlord Body Peak.

And Zhou Long was just a young genius participating in the outer sect assessment.

What right did he have to make him kneel?

”What? Did I hear that right? This trash dares to talk to Zhou Long like that, where does his confidence come from?”

”Hmph! A trash with cultivation at just the second layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, no matter how strong, cannot be that formidable. Never mind Zhou Long; even we could easily crush him.” Many young talents sneered, their mouths full of ridicule.

They didn’t know that Ye Chen had defeated Ye Lin’Er in the Immortal Secret Realm.

After all, this matter would damage Ye Lin’Er’s reputation, and the envoy has already instructed everyone who knows to keep quiet, or else they will be mercilessly killed.

So, until now, the cultivators of all the major families in Cang Province are unaware of the true strength of Ye Chen.

Otherwise, they would never utter such foolish words.

”Senior Sister, I’ve heard of this Zhou Long; he’s one of the top-ranked among the younger generation in Cang Province, even stronger than Huang Yanran. Ye Chen, this useless guy who can only rely on secret treasures, is definitely not capable of fighting him.” Among the crowd, a young cultivator from the Celestial Pearl Dynasty mocked with a sneer, looking schadenfreudistic.

”Hmph! Not to mention that within this plaza, the power of secret treasures cannot be used. Even if it could, Ye Chen would still never be a match for Zhou Long. Today, he is destined to be suppressed by Zhou Long! If he’s to blame, he should blame himself for being too foolish, coming here to court death himself.” Lin Man, standing beside, couldn’t help but scoff, as if she had already envisioned the scene of Ye Chen being trampled like a dead dog under Zhou Long’s feet.

Yes!

Ye Chen’s strength is indeed powerful; even Ye Lin’Er could be defeated when he relies on secret treasures.

However, the geniuses cultivated by those immortal clans in Cang Province are not at all comparable to the ones nurtured by a mortal dynasty.

Even Huang Yanran, who is ranked second on the Hidden Dragon List, is nothing significant when looking at the entire Cang Province. There are far too many geniuses stronger than her.

And Zhou Long is one of them.

Therefore, it is simply delusional for Ye Chen to think he could defeat Zhou Long without using secret treasures.

”Useless wretch, do you know what you’re saying? Originally, if you obediently knelt down to apologize, I could have spared your pathetic life. But now, you have no chance; I will crush you to death and send your corpse to Senior Brother Lu Ping.” Zhou Long’s face twisted to an extreme, a terrifying murderous aura emanating from his entire being.

He is one of the top geniuses of the Zhou Family’s younger generation, not only awakening an Earth Level bloodline but also possessing significant body refining talent, with a physical strength equating to the Power of Eight Thousand Tigers.

Hence, he has absolute confidence that he can join Overlord Body Peak and even make the higher-ups of Overlord Body Peak take notice of him.

But now, Ye Chen, this useless guy who can’t even awaken his bloodline, dared to publicly humiliate him in front of so many people.

This is, for him, truly a severe disgrace.

If he doesn’t crush Ye Chen to death today, where would he put his face?

Rumble.

At this moment, a soul-trembling aura suddenly surged out from Zhou Long’s body, pressing down on many young geniuses, leaving them breathless.

Behind Zhou Long, there appeared ten enormous Celestial Spirit Vortices, like black holes devouring everything, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

His cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Moreover, from the Celestial Spirit Vortices, it can be discerned that his Qi Sea Foundation is five times that of ordinary cultivators.

This is enough to compare with Ye Lin’Er.

”It’s not surprising that he’s one of the top-ranked among the younger generation in Cang Province, with a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation!”

”Alas, this is the disparity between us mortal dynasties and the immortal realm. In the immortal realm, as long as someone has a bit of talent, they usually have a four or fivefold Qi Sea Foundation. But in our mortal dynasty, such people are very few and far between,” many experts on the Hidden Dragon List sighed.

In the mortal dynasty, their talents are already considered the top tier.

However, among them, very few can possess a fourfold Qi Sea Foundation.

As for those with a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation, there isn’t even one.

This is because the cultivation resources in the mortal dynasty are indeed too scarce.

Talents like Zhou Long from the immortal clans can use Earth Spirit Stones from a young age to open up their Sea of Qi. Coupled with their extraordinarily powerful awakened bloodlines, it’s quite normal for them to have a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation.

But cultivators from the mortal dynasty rarely have the chance to use Earth Spirit Stones for cultivation.

So, even if their bloodlines aren’t very weak, it’s still quite difficult for them to open up a fivefold Qi Sea Foundation.

”It seems my Qi Sea Foundation advantage is becoming less and less apparent.” Ye Chen stared icily at Zhou Long, thinking to himself.

In the mortal dynasty, he had a ninefold Qi Sea Foundation, indeed having a huge advantage.

After all, the vast majority of cultivators in the mortal dynasty only have one or two times the Qi Sea Foundation.

But in the immortal realm, people with a four or fivefold Qi Sea Foundation are coming up more and more frequently.

There are even heaven-gifted geniuses with a sixfold or sevenfold Qi Sea Foundation or more.

Therefore, the gap between them and Ye Chen isn’t as wide as it used to be.

If Ye Chen wishes to rely on his Qi Sea Foundation to crush them, it naturally becomes increasingly difficult.

”I want to see what you, this useless wretch, will use to oppose me. Go to hell and repent.” Zhou Long’s face turned incredibly ferocious. With a mere thought, the Celestial Spirit Vortex around his body coalesced into a massive golden palm, slamming fiercely towards Ye Chen.

This is a martial art he cultivated, a lower-grade Profound Level technique called ”Celestial Gold Palm.” In the Zhou Family, it’s only considered a middle-ranking martial art, but its power is far more terrifying than Yellow Level martial arts.

This is also the foundation of the Zhou Family, which can’t possibly be compared to that of a mortal dynasty.
