Supreme Lord of Towers

Last time, the tree demon Ye Chen killed in the Northern Nether Realm was merely a Tier One Divine Spirit Descendant, and yet the Wood Spirit Qi contained within was sufficient to be transformed into one billion Power of Enlightenment.

Ye Chen took advantage of this Power of Enlightenment to cultivate three Ninth Grade Laws to a minor completion in the First Realm.

But now, the tree demon before him was a Tier Four Divine Spirit Descendant!

The Wood Spirit Qi contained within him was surely much more abundant than the one Ye Chen vanquished in the Northern Nether Realm.

If Ye Chen could manage to kill him, he would once again acquire a large amount of Power of Enlightenment.

At that time, he could cultivate the other two Demigod Level Martial Arts of the Five Elements Immortal Sect to minor completion.

”Hmph! Human Race, get over here and accept your death quickly! Becoming my Devouring Forest’s nourishment is a great honor for you. You should be pleased.” At that moment, the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon sneered, his mouth curling with contempt.

In his eyes, Ye Chen seemed like prey to be butchered at any moment.

”This is the message I should be giving to you.” Ye Chen licked his lips, his eyes shooting out a piercing brilliance.

He was eager to obliterate this Spirit-devouring Tree Demon and absorb the Wood Spirit Qi within him.

”A fool who doesn’t recognize his own limitations—let me show you the taste of fear and despair now,” the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon said savagely, causing one’s soul to tremble.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, dense and ink-black vines whistled out from behind him, entangling towards Ye Chen.

These vines not only possessed unparalleled destructive power but also wound around a peculiar and formidable force.

Even Dugu Yuan felt an intense threat of death emanating from them, as if his soul would be devoured at any moment.

”Not good, it’s the swallowing soul force. Brother Ye Chen, you absolutely must not touch those vines,” Dugu Yuan gasped, his expression filled with horror.

Be aware that the swallowing soul force could consume an opponent’s soul.

Even if Ye Chen’s physical body was incredibly strong, without his soul, he would be doomed to die.

Therefore, he mustn’t rely solely on his strong body to clash directly with the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon.

”Swallowing soul force? So that’s it. No wonder this guy dares to be so arrogant, knowing my body is strong,” Ye Chen suddenly understood.

During his fight with Jin Xu earlier, he unleashed a physical power worth four hundred and fifty billion tigers.

Even though the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon was a Tier Four Divine Spirit Descendant, he should not underestimate himself.

Yet now, he seemed completely indifferent to Ye Chen.

It turns out he was so confident because he wielded the swallowing soul force.

If Ye Chen indeed used his physical strength to withstand those vines, his Divine Soul could be absorbed at any time.

”Ha! You wretched mixed-blood Human Race, what good is a strong body? I’m the nemesis of your kind.

I’m curious to see what you’ll use to resist me,” the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon sneered, his mouth full of scorn.

In his view, Ye Chen was only physically strong, and his other abilities weren’t worth mentioning.

And his swallowing soul force just happened to counter cultivators with strong bodies.

So today, no matter how Ye Chen struggled, he wouldn’t escape being devoured by him.

”Is that so? Then let’s see what happens.” Ye Chen smiled coldly.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, his figure flickered, charging straight towards the black vines.

Immediately after, nine True Dragon Illusions appeared above his fist, violently smashing towards the vines.

”No! Brother Ye Chen, dodge quickly, or you will be obliterated,” Dugu Yuan’s expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

Even he didn’t expect Ye Chen to be so impulsive, wanting to use his physical strength to confront the Devouring Forest’s swallowing soul force head-on.

This was practically suicide.

”Haha! This guy is utterly foolish. He completely misunderstands how terrifying the Devouring Forest’s swallowing soul force is.

Unless his Divine Soul has reached the Dissociation Realm, he’s doomed,” Tree Demon Chi Yue couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Ye Chen as though viewing a soon-to-be corpse.

Be aware that Devouring Forest’s swallowing soul force could penetrate directly into the depths of an enemy’s sea of consciousness.

No matter how strong the enemy’s physical body was, it would be difficult to keep it out—Ye Chen’s physical body included.

Thus, he had already envisioned the scene where Ye Chen’s Divine Soul was forcibly dragged out from his sea of consciousness by the swallowing soul force of Devouring Forest.

This was all Ye Chen’s own doing.

If he had chosen another way to fight against Devouring Forest, he might have lived a bit longer.

But now he was utterly doomed.

A thunderous crash echoed out.

At that moment, Ye Chen’s fist fiercely collided with the black vines, producing a rumbling explosion.

Crack! Crack!

In the next moment, the black vines developed extensive fractures, then shattered in mid-air.

Nonetheless, the peculiar force twisting around the vines didn’t disappear. Instead, it flowed through Ye Chen’s fist, surging into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Even Ye Chen’s myriad Human Emperor Body couldn’t block it out.

”This force is indeed incredibly strange, capable even of penetrating my myriad Human Emperor Body. For others, going head-to-head with it would indeed be walking a path to death.

Too bad, he met me,” a cold smile flashed across Ye Chen’s lips, as if everything was under his control.

Buzz!

In a split-second, the swallowing soul force had infiltrated deep within Ye Chen’s sea of consciousness, enveloping his Divine Soul.

”Ha! You overestimate yourself. Die!” the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon cackled, his expression brimming with excitement.

As long as his swallowing soul force could engulf Ye Chen’s Divine Soul.

Ye Chen would immediately become a living corpse.

At that point, he could devour Ye Chen’s physical body as well, pushing his potential even further, possibly rivaling a Tier Five Divine Spirit Descendant.

The mere thought excited him immensely.

”Pathetic swallowing soul force trying to kill me? You’re overestimating yourself. Shatter!” At that moment, Ye Chen’s Divine Soul suddenly erupted with dazzling divine light, converging into a soul sword, slicing fiercely towards the swallowing soul force.

Slash!

In the next instant, the swallowing soul force was cleaved cleanly in two, vanishing deep within Ye Chen’s sea of consciousness.

Yet Ye Chen’s Divine Soul remained unharmed.

”What? How is this possible?” The smile on the Spirit-devouring Tree Demon’s face froze, replaced by utter shock and disbelief.
