Supreme Lord of Towers

Within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, there stands a towering peak that pierces the clouds, known as the Life and Death Peak!

This mountain is usually deserted and incredibly quiet.

This is because the Sect’s Life and Death Battle Platform is built atop this mountain’s summit.

Only when someone signs a Life and Death Contract and prepares to mount the platform for a fight to the death does this place come alive.

At noon on this particular day, the summit of the Life and Death Peak was bustling with people. A vast crowd of disciples from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect had gathered, numbering in the thousands at a glance.

They were here to witness the life-and-death duel between Ye Chen and Lu Ping.

”It’s been six years since the Life and Death Battle Platform was last opened. Every time it is opened, someone is destined to fall.”

”Indeed! Since ancient times, the number of disciples who have perished atop this platform is at least several hundred, including several True Disciples!” At this moment, many disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect were lamenting above a massive White Jade Battle Platform.

This White Jade Battle Platform was precisely the Life and Death Battle Platform of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Since it was constructed by orders of the Sect’s founding ancestor, nearly five hundred disciples have met their end here.

Among them were even several True Disciples of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

After all, True Disciples are still human, and irresolvable grudges exist among them.

If even the high-ranking members of the Sect cannot dissuade them, they will eventually choose to settle their life-and-death issues atop the battle platform.

”Actually, the most famous battle on the Life and Death Platform was over a thousand years ago, between two Saint Sons! In the end, one Saint Son fell on the platform, and the other suffered unimaginable injuries, stalling his cultivation for life. What a pity.” Someone couldn’t help but sigh.

It’s known that Saint Sons, even within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, are exceedingly rare, never exceeding nine in number.

Their power is vastly more terrifying than that of ordinary True Disciples. If they grow smoothly, they have the potential to become Venerable Golden Cores.

However, over a thousand years ago, two promising Saint Sons of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect chose to engage in a life-and-death duel atop the platform, leading to mutual destruction in the end.

Even the high ranks of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect couldn’t stop them.

This is the cruelty of the Life and Death Battle Platform.

No matter your status, once you step onto that platform, you must battle to the death with your opponent; no one can undermine this rule.

”Ha! Ye Chen, the overconfident fool, is truly too naive, daring to sign a Life and Death Contract with Senior Brother Lu Ping. This time, no one can save him, not even the protection of Jin Kun would help.” A disciple from the Outer Sect of Overlord Body Peak couldn’t help but sneer, his mouth twisted with a deep sense of mockery.

Lu Ping, as the foremost powerhouse of the Overlord Body Peak’s Outer Sect, held immense prestige among the disciples there.

Many of the Outer Sect disciples from Overlord Body Peak revered him to the utmost.

In their eyes, Ye Chen, a waste who couldn’t even awaken his bloodline, could never be Lu Ping’s match.

Lu Ping’s desire to kill him was as easy as turning his hand.

They truly couldn’t fathom who had given Ye Chen the courage to sign a Life and Death Contract with Lu Ping.

This was nothing less than seeking his own death.

”Look quickly, it’s Senior Brother Lu Ping; he’s arrived.” At that moment, the crowd suddenly erupted.

All eyes were drawn to a young man in the sky.

This young man was tall and robust, with muscles bulging, resembling a coiled dragon, full of unbridled power.

This was none other than Lu Ping.

Beside Lu Ping stood two figures, respectively the Third Elder of Overlord Body Peak, Tuoba Xiong, and the high steward of Azure Sky Peak, Xiahou Dian.

They all came to watch how Lu Ping would crush Ye Chen, the so-called waste.

”Ha! Jin Kun, where is Ye Chen? Could it be that this waste has fled out of guilt?” Xiahou Dian’s gaze naturally fell on Jin Kun, his lips curled with deep mockery.

”The time isn’t up yet; why rush? Besides, this is a duel between our Overlord Body Peak’s disciples. When did it become your place to interfere, you outsider? Get lost.” Jin Kun replied coldly. A terrifying gleam shot from his eyes, his tone commanding and domineering.

Ten days ago, had Xiahou Dian not been needling on the side, Ye Chen wouldn’t have signed a Life and Death Contract with Lu Ping.

Hence, Jin Kun utterly despised Xiahou Dian, wishing he could slap him dead.

”Hmph! Jin Kun, you can prepare to collect Ye Chen’s corpse. This waste has signed a Life and Death Contract with Lu Ping; even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, it’s useless. No one can save him today.” Xiahou Dian laughed coldly, his face turning exceedingly grim.

He, a distinguished high steward of Azure Sky Peak, was being chastised in front of so many people by Jin Kun.

To him, this was an intolerable humiliation.

However, his strength was not equal to that of Jin Kun Zhenren; no matter how angry he was, he simply could not do anything to the opponent.

This really made him feel unbearably stifled.

”There’s only one cup of tea’s time left before the life-and-death duel begins. If Ye Chen still doesn’t show up, I will personally crush this lowly ant to death. At that time, anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy, including you.” At this moment, Tuoba Xiong suddenly spoke coldly.

Ye Chen has already signed a life-and-death contract with Lu Ping.

If Jin Kun Zhenren still dares to protect him, that would be undermining the rules of the Life and Death Battle Platform.

At that time, even if Tuoba Xiong kills Jin Kun Zhenren, no one will hold him accountable.

He doesn’t believe that Jin Kun Zhenren would take that kind of risk for a waste who can’t even awaken his bloodline.

”Senior Brother Wang, there’s less than a cup of tea’s time before the life-and-death duel starts, why hasn’t that waste Ye Chen appeared yet? Could he be scared?” At this moment, in a corner of Life and Death Peak, an Inner Sect Disciple from Azure Sky Peak sneered, a thick taunt lingering at the corner of his mouth.

Beside him stood a group of Inner Sect Disciples from Azure Sky Peak, surrounding a youth of unmatched beauty.

This young man was indeed Wang Tian.

”Hmph! That reckless waste, even if he’s scared, what’s the use? He has already signed a life-and-death contract with Lu Ping. If he flees in guilt, there’s definitely only one path to death! It’s a pity I couldn’t personally crush that waste to avenge my two younger brothers.” Wang Tian said coldly, a terrifying murderous intent oozing from his entire body that made souls tremble irresistibly.

.

”What an esteemed presence Brother Wang is, killing that waste Ye Chen would only dirty your hands. Let Lu Ping take care of him.”

”Exactly, a mere ant at the Celestial Spirit Realm, not even qualified to carry Brother Wang’s shoes, is worthy of Brother Wang personally killing him?” The surrounding Azure Sky Peak disciples scoffed, their expressions filled with disdain.

It was as if, in their eyes, Ye Chen was just an ant that could be crushed to death at will.

Killing such an ant was actually an insult to them.

...

Buzz!

At this moment, within Ye Chen’s Cultivation Chamber, splendid seven-colored light burst forth, illuminating every corner of the chamber.

This seven-colored light emanated from within Ye Chen’s body.

His physique at this moment was like a piece of Glazed Divine Jade, crystal clear throughout and flowing with a faint divine light.

Even behind him, lotus blooms of Seven-Colored Divine Lotus were blossoming, appearing extraordinarily exquisite.

This was the phenomenon produced upon reaching the Perfection Realm in the cultivation of the ”Glazed Martial Body.”

”Success! In five days, I actually cultivated ’Glazed Martial Body’ to the Perfection Realm. This speed is unprecedented, even in the Overlord Body Peak, isn’t it?” Ye Chen’s eyes shot forth a dazzling sharp light, his expression extremely excited.

The ”Glazed Martial Body” is divided into four realms.

Back then, Ye Chen spent a full two or three days to cultivate the ”Glazed Martial Body” to the First Layer, Silver Bone Realm.

But now, he only took five days to cultivate all the remaining three layers.

This speed is simply too astonishing.

Even Ye Chen himself felt a bit incredulous.

”Master, this is the benefit of condensing a hundred Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns. Once your Human Emperor Body cultivation reaches the Third Level of the Vajra Realm, your body refining talent will become even higher, making the cultivation of any body refining technique in this world an easy thing.” The Tower Spirit smiled faintly, as if everything was within his expectations.

”Hmm! It’s time to leave seclusion now, or I’ll miss the life-and-death duel.” Ye Chen nodded, his figure flashed, and he quickly darted toward the exit of the chamber.

After five days of cultivation, not only did he perfect the ”Glazed Martial Body,” but he also broke through three realms in succession, reaching the Fifth Layer of Celestial Spirit Realm.

Now, the celestial spirits within him were no weaker than those of some peak Celestial Spirit Realm experts with fourfold Qi Sea Foundations.

”Chen’er, can’t you ask Senior Profound Spirit to help you cancel the life-and-death duel? I’m really worried about you.” Seeing Ye Chen emerging from the Cultivation Chamber, Xiao Hui said worriedly.

Although she knew that Ye Chen’s strength had greatly improved, enough to easily crush even the likes of Duanmu Ying.

However, Ye Chen’s opponent this time was the top outer sect expert of Overlord Body Peak, Lu Ping.

It’s said that he already possesses the strength to battle with a Divine Mansion Realm First Layer expert.

Therefore, even for Ye Chen, defeating him is harder than ascending to heaven.

”Mother, you don’t need to worry. Just a mere Lu Ping can’t threaten me; I’ll kill him like slaughtering a dog.” Ye Chen smiled at Xiao Hui, his brows filled with deep confidence, his tone immensely assertive and domineering.
