Supreme Lord of Towers

In the sky above Celestial Hero Peak, the Host Elder’s voice resonated like a bell, instantly ramping up the tension in the atmosphere.

”It’s begun, the Seven Peaks Competition is finally starting.”

”As usual, there’s going to be a lucky one who can directly advance to the semifinals. I wonder who that lucky person will be this time?” The disciples watching murmured among themselves, looking extremely excited.

The Seven Peaks Competition follows an elimination format, divided into three rounds.

Winning the first round grants entry to the semifinals.

Winning the second round advances one to the final.

Winning all three rounds secures the championship of this competition.

However, in every iteration of the Seven Peaks Competition, there are only seven contestants, all of whom are the most outstanding Outer Sect disciples from each peak.

Thus, it is destined that one person will be able to skip the first round and directly advance to the second round.

This person is generally selected via a lucky draw.

Swoosh!

Amidst the discussions, the Host Elder casually waved his sleeve, sending a flying Purple Sandalwood Box landing before the seven competitors, including Ye Chen.

”Inside this box are eight wax pills, only one of which contains a hidden paper strip. Whoever draws this pill can directly advance to the semifinals, understood?” the Host Elder said loudly, his expression solemn, giving off an air of seriousness.

”Understood.” Ye Chen and the others nodded.

”Let’s start with Zhou Sen,” the Host Elder said indifferently.

The next moment, Zhou Sen stepped up to the Purple Sandalwood Box, reached out his right hand, and grabbed a red wax pill from inside.

With a crisp crack.

He applied a bit of force, and the wax pill turned to powder, but there was nothing inside.

This meant Zhou Sen must participate in the first round.

”Hmph! With my strength, I’m sure to advance to the semifinals, and even the championship of this competition is surely mine. It doesn’t matter if I don’t draw that wax pill,” Zhou Sen sneered arrogantly.

It was as if the championship was already in his grasp.

”How arrogant.” At this moment, Qin Qiushui, the top Outer Disciple of Piaomiao Peak, gracefully walked towards the Purple Sandalwood Box, her eyes filled with mockery.

While others feared Zhou Sen, she didn’t fear him at all.

She had already comprehended the True Intent hidden in the Middle Grade Profound Level martial art, ”Jade Divine Force,” and her cultivation was on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Mansion Realm.

Thus, in her eyes, Zhou Sen, the top Outer Disciple of Azure Sky Peak, was nothing but a joke.

Thinking of competing with her for the championship was nothing but a pipe dream.

”Hmph! Qin Qiushui, you’re just trash who awakened a Sixth Grade Earth-level bloodline, not even fit to carry my shoes. Who gave you the courage to say such words?” Zhou Sen’s face turned extremely dark as he mocked Qin Qiushui.

He had not only awakened a Fifth Grade Earth-level bloodline, but the concentration of his bloodline was exceedingly high; crushing Qin Qiushui would be a piece of cake.

Yet, Qin Qiushui dared to belittle him.

To him, this was an utter humiliation.

”Zhou Sen, you will soon realize how foolish and ignorant you are,” Qin Qiushui looked at Zhou Sen with dismissive eyes, filled with contempt, as if looking at a pathetic clown.

Crack.

She then reached her soft hand into the Purple Sandalwood Box, picked out a wax pill, and gently crushed it open.

”Nothing, Qin Qiushui isn’t the lucky one either.”

”Hmph! She dares to look down on our Senior Brother Zhou Sen, who gave her such courage? If she faces Senior Brother Zhou Sen in the first round, she will definitely be eliminated by him,” the Outer Disciples of Azure Sky Peak sneered.

They didn’t know that Qin Qiushui had already comprehended the True Intent.

Otherwise, they would never dare to say such things.

”Qin Qiushui, you’d better not encounter me in the competition; otherwise, I will make you regret your actions. Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, I’ll show you mercy. Anyone who offends me, Zhou Sen, will meet a bad end,” Zhou Sen’s lips curled into a sinister smile, looking at Qin Qiushui as if she were a lamb to slaughter.

Subsequently, contestants from Celestial Sword Peak, Celestial Talisman Peak, and Profound Pill Peak also stepped forward to draw a red wax pill from the Purple Sandalwood Box.

Unfortunately, after breaking them open, they found no paper inside.

”Only two people left; the lucky one is definitely between Ye Chen and Bai Lin,” the murmurs among the spectators continued.

Bai Lin is the top Outer Disciple of Profound Artifact Peak.

Now, only he and Ye Chen have yet to draw a wax ball.

”Ye Chen, it’s your turn.” The Host Elder said indifferently from above.

”Hmm!” Ye Chen nodded and stepped towards the Purple Sandalwood Box.

”Look, it’s finally Ye Chen the loser’s turn.”

”Humph! I don’t believe he can draw that wax ball.” Many of the onlookers sneered, all hoping Ye Chen wouldn’t draw that wax ball.

After all, once he draws that wax ball, Ye Chen can directly advance to the top four.

That’s just too easy for him.

Snap, a crisp sound.

At this moment, Ye Chen swiftly retrieved a red wax ball from the Purple Sandalwood Box and gently crushed it.

The next moment, a piece of white paper appeared in everyone’s view.

This meant Ye Chen was indeed the lucky one.

”What? Ye Chen the loser actually drew the wax ball with the paper.”

”Sigh! Heaven really has no eyes, how can this loser have such good luck.” The onlooking disciples’ pupils sharply constricted, each one overwhelmed with disappointment.

The less they wanted Ye Chen to draw the wax ball, the more he managed to draw it.

What a joke Heaven is playing on them!

”Ye Chen, congratulations, you can skip the first-round competition and directly advance to the top four.” The Host Elder said indifferently from above.

”I didn’t expect my luck to be quite good.” Ye Chen grinned.

Even he didn’t expect to be the lucky one.

However, even if he couldn’t draw this wax ball, it didn’t matter.

No matter how many rounds of competition he participates in, he is absolutely confident he can win the top spot in this grand competition.

”Humph! Loser, don’t celebrate too early, you’re just lucky. Even if you advance directly to the top four, so what? If you meet me, you’re dead meat.” Zhou Sen couldn’t help but sneer, his eyes filled with thick mockery.

”You should be thankful you didn’t encounter me in the first round, otherwise you wouldn’t even make it to the top four.” Ye Chen smiled coldly.

”Is that so? You, the loser, have no other skills but a big mouth. You better pray not to meet me in the second round, otherwise, this place will be your burial ground today.” Zhou Sen snarled, his expression sinister, with a terrifying killing intent emanating from his whole body, making people shiver uncontrollably.

...

”Senior Sister Lu, I didn’t expect this loser to have such good luck and directly advance to the top four, otherwise with his strength, he would definitely be eliminated in the first round.” At this moment, in a corner of Celestial Hero Peak, a female disciple from Piaomiao Peak said playfully.

”Humph! What good is luck? In front of Junior Sister Qiushui, this loser is nothing but a weakling. Not to mention Junior Sister Qiushui, even other contestants can crush him easily, we just wait for the show. In the second round, this loser will definitely show his true colors.” Lu Xuan said coldly beside, her expression filled with extreme disdain.

”Alright, the lottery is over, the first round of competition officially begins.” At this moment, the Host Elder’s loud voice suddenly resounded in everyone’s ears.

Whoosh.

Soon, Zhou Sen, along with Bai Lin from Profound Artifact Peak, flew towards the massive Cyan Jade Battle Platform to start the competition.

”Bai Lin, you’re no match for me, just surrender, or you’ll only bring disgrace upon yourself.” Zhou Sen raised his head arrogantly, with an incomparably swaggering expression.

”Humph! Zhou Sen, don’t be arrogant, I, Bai Lin, am not to be trifled with.” Bai Lin’s face became extremely grim, with an extremely violent Celestial Spirit erupting from his body, condensing ten gigantic Celestial Spirit Vortexes behind him.

”Look, it’s a five-fold Qi Sea Foundation.”

”Indeed, those who can compete in the Seven Peaks grand competition are no weaklings.” The watching outer disciples couldn’t help but sigh, their eyes filled with deep apprehension.

It’s worth knowing that all the contestants participating in the Seven Peaks grand competition are the strongest among each peak’s outer disciples.

So, having a five-fold Qi Sea Foundation is practically a standard.

”Ha! Is a five-fold Qi Sea Foundation impressive? Before me, it’s a joke.” At this moment, Zhou Sen suddenly sneered, his mouth full of deep mockery.

Rumble.

The next moment, a surge of formidable Celestial Spirits, like a tide, surged from Zhou Sen’s body, condensing ten gigantic Celestial Spirit Vortexes behind him, like black holes devouring everything.

The aura emitted by these Celestial Spirit Vortexes was even more terrifying than Bai Lin’s.

”What? Six-fold Qi Sea Foundation.” Bai Lin’s body suddenly trembled, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

”Ye Chen, do you think you’re the only loser with a six-fold Qi Sea Foundation? I have it too. What’s there for you to be proud of?” Zhou Sen’s eyes involuntarily fell on Ye Chen, his expression extremely disdainful.
