Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, Ouyang Zhong felt immensely disappointed with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wanted to enhance his strength at the fastest pace, and the best way was to cultivate the .

However, he was unwilling to heed Ouyang Zhong’s advice, wasting time in other places.

How could he confront Duanmu Jie in a life and death battle like this?

”Perhaps he’s gone to rest, after all, cultivating the is extremely exhausting, taking a break occasionally is normal.” Ouyang Zhong tried to calm himself, thinking silently.

Whoosh.

The next moment, he soared into the sky and swiftly flew towards Ye Chen’s residence.

However, when he arrived at Ye Chen’s place, he found the room was empty, which made his expression turn incredibly grim once more.

”Damn it! Ye Chen isn’t back; where exactly has he gone?” Ouyang Zhong trembled with anger.

If Ye Chen were resting in his room due to the exhaustion from cultivating the , it would be understandable.

Yet now, he wasn’t resting in his room at all.

This filled Ouyang Zhong’s heart with anger and disappointment.

There’s less than a month left for Ye Chen to face Duanmu Jie in a decisive battle on the Life and Death Battle Platform.

Ye Chen is not keen on cultivating hard to enhance his strength but still feels like going elsewhere.

Has he abandoned himself?

”Alas! It seems Ye Chen knows no matter how hard he tries, he can’t defeat Duanmu Jie, so he simply chose to give up. Well, this is his choice, and I have no right to interfere.” Ouyang Zhong couldn’t help but sigh.

In his view, even if Ye Chen managed to cultivate the to the Great Success Realm within a month, he still couldn’t be a match for Duanmu Jie.

Therefore, Ye Chen’s choice to abandon himself is understandable.

After all, he has less than a month to live, and rather than striving every day, he might as well enjoy the remaining time.

Even so, Ouyang Zhong felt deeply disappointed by Ye Chen’s cowardly behavior.

If it were him, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn’t easily give up.

”Alas! Xue’er, you indeed misunderstood him; Ye Chen isn’t as strong as you imagined. Even if he survives this, he isn’t fit to be the Hall Master of our War King Hall.” Ouyang Zhong shook his head and decided not to care about Ye Chen’s fate anymore.

From now on, whatever Ye Chen wishes to do, just let him.

Roar.

At this time, in the dense ancient forest behind the War King Hall, terrifying beast roars echoed.

It was emitted from a purple giant ape, standing five zhang tall.

This giant ape was a fearsome Tier Two Demon Beast, and its power could rival a Gang Qi Realm Fifth Layer powerhouse.

Even Luo Yang might not necessarily be its opponent.

And Ye Chen, who had just entered the back mountain, instantly encountered such a powerful Tier Two Demon Beast.

No wonder even Ouyang Zhong cautioned him against casually entering the back mountain.

This place is too dangerous; even the Inner Sect Students of the War King Hall could encounter unexpected events at any moment.

Boom.

In a flash, the enormous body of the purple giant ape charged towards Ye Chen like a small mountain, swinging its massive fists fiercely at him.

The power of this strike reached nearly the Power of Three Hundred Tigers, far exceeding the Phantom Leopard Ye Chen had slain in the Canglan Mountain Range.

The strength of the Phantom Leopard was merely Power of Fifty Tigers, incomparable to the purple giant ape before him.

Both are Tier Two Demon Beasts, yet their strengths differ vastly.

The same principle applies to human Gang Qi Realm cultivators.

For example, a Gang Qi Realm Fifth Layer powerhouse can easily crush a Gang Qi Realm First Layer cultivator.

”Finally, I can test the true power of the .” At this moment, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling golden glow.

Roar.

The next moment, an ancient golden elephant’s phantom appeared behind him, tens of zhang tall.

Even the purple giant ape seemed like an infant before it, its imposing manner instantly fading.

With a loud bang.

Ye Chen then swung his fist, fiercely colliding with the purple giant ape’s fist.

The terrifying power instantly caused the surrounding air to explode, creating waves of white air currents, and even the ancient trees within a few miles trembled.

Ah!

The wretched screams echoed through the ancient forest, sounding terrifying.

With just one blow, the arm of the Purple Giant Ape was shattered, leaving it a bloody mess, and even its massive body flew like a meteor, with its internal organs all shattered, dying on the spot.

This was the power Ye Chen could unleash when he pushed the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique” to its extreme.

Even without exerting the Human Emperor Body, he could still explode with the Power of Five Hundred Tigers, easily crushing this Purple Giant Ape without the slightest effort.

”Absorb it for me.” Ye Chen’s expression remained calm as still water, as if everything was under his control.

With a thought, he communicated with the Evolution Divine Tower in the Human Emperor’s Space, absorbing the bloodline power from within the Purple Giant Ape.

Soon after, Ye Chen’s Evolution Divine Tower gained thirty points of evolutionary power.

”This Purple Giant Ape is obviously much stronger than the Phantom Leopard, yet the evolutionary power it converted is only ten points more? That’s too little,” Ye Chen remarked, slightly surprised.

He originally thought that the combat power of the Purple Giant Ape was several times stronger than the Phantom Leopard, and its bloodline should convert into several times more evolutionary power.

Unexpectedly, the outcome was completely different from what he had imagined.

”Master, this is quite normal. The bloodline of this Purple Giant Ape, in essence, isn’t much stronger than the Phantom Leopard. It just has practiced for more years than the Phantom Leopard. Therefore, its bloodline cannot convert much more evolutionary power than the Phantom Leopard! Only the bloodlines of Tier Three Demon Beasts can convert into more evolutionary power,” Tower Spirit couldn’t help but explain to Ye Chen.

The bloodline of Demon Beasts, much like humans, also has different levels.

For example, the bloodline within this Purple Giant Ape is approximately equivalent to a Yellow Level Fourth Grade in humans, which is why it could grow into a Tier Two Demon Beast.

However, in this life, it basically has no hope of growing into a Tier Three Demon Beast.

To become a Tier Three Demon Beast, at least the bloodline within it needs to be equivalent to the Yellow Level First Grade in humans.

This level of Demon Beast already possesses the strength to rival a Qi Dao Grandmaster, and crushing the current Ye Chen would be a breeze.

As of now, Ye Chen can only hunt some Tier Two Demon Beasts with average bloodlines.

As for slaying Tier Three Demon Beasts, he doesn’t even dare to think about it.

”Master, thirty points of evolutionary power isn’t trivial for you currently. You just need to collect three hundred points, and you can take your divine soul talent to the next level. By then, you can cultivate your divine soul to the Second Layer Exorcism Realm within a month,” Tower Spirit smiled slightly, filled with intense anticipation in its eyes.

Since the last time Ye Chen used a hundred points of evolutionary power to develop more brain domain space, his divine soul talent has become a level stronger than ordinary Divine Soul Masters.

Even so, he still needs three months to cultivate his divine soul to the Second Layer Exorcism Realm.

However, if he could use three hundred points of evolutionary power to open up more brain domain space, elevating his divine soul talent,

then he would surely be able to raise his divine soul to the Exorcism Realm within a month.

This is why Ye Chen is eager to venture into the back mountain to hunt Tier Two Demon Beasts.

”Collecting three hundred points of evolutionary power is not a difficult task for me now; I just need to hunt ten of these Tier Two Demon Beasts.” Ye Chen said with incredible confidence.

If he hadn’t mastered the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,” collecting three hundred points of evolutionary power would truly be difficult.

Just this Purple Giant Ape alone could pose a life-threatening danger to him.

But now, his physical power has greatly increased, and as long as he doesn’t encounter a Tier Two Demon Beast that rivals a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, he is confident he can slay it.

So, with more time, he is sure he can collect three hundred points of evolutionary power.

By then, he wouldn’t need to venture into the back mountain to hunt Tier Two Demon Beasts anymore.

After all, walking by the river, how can you avoid getting your shoes wet?

If he is unfortunately faced with terrifying beings among Tier Two Demon Beasts, it could cost him his life.

”Among Tier Two Demon Beasts, there are also some with enormously powerful bloodlines, not weaker than the Profound Bloodline in humans! If I encounter such a beast now, I am no match,” Ye Chen thought to himself.

Demon Beasts with a Profound Level bloodline are extremely rare in the Celestial Flame Dynasty’s Mortal Realm, but that doesn’t mean there are none.

If it were under the same realm, Ye Chen naturally would not fear them.

But currently, with his cultivation at the Seventh Layer of True Qi, there’s still a huge gap between him and Tier Two Demon Beasts.

So, he is not at all confident in contending against them.

”As soon as I collect three hundred points of evolutionary power, I will leave the back mountain. There’s no need to take unnecessary risks,” Ye Chen muttered to himself while extracting the Demon Beast Core from the Purple Giant Ape.

For him, the core of a Tier Two Demon Beast is comparable to a Celestial Spirit Stone in terms of effect.

Just one is enough to help him open ten Seas of Qi.

He wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
