Supreme Lord of Towers

Life and Death Peak, a secluded corner.

”Master, it seems that other than cultivating the ’Glazed Martial Body,’ Master Ye Chen has also cultivated other Body Refining Techniques. Otherwise, it would be impossible for his physical power to reach as much as 160,000 Tiger Power,” Venerable Zi Chen stared intensely at Ye Chen, eyes full of shock, as if he was looking at a monster.

It’s worth noting that his Body Refining Talent was already considered the most powerful among all the experts on Overlord Body Peak, reaching Super Grade Second Class.

Yet, when he was at the Celestial Spirit Realm, his physical power could at most reach only 120,000 Tiger Power.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t surpass this limit.

But Ye Chen?

His cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, yet he possessed 160,000 Tiger Power.

This is truly astonishing.

From this, it can also be seen that Ye Chen’s Body Refining Talent has indeed reached Super Grade First Class.

”Master, Master Ye Chen is simply abnormal. I can sense that he didn’t use the power of any Secret Treasure. His physical body genuinely has 160,000 Tiger Power, which is unprecedented in the history of Overlord Body Peak,” even the hunchbacked old man’s servant, Profound Spirit, couldn’t help but exclaim.

His strength far surpassed that of the Third Elder, Tuoba Xiong.

Therefore, he could immediately sense whether Ye Chen used the power of a Secret Treasure.

”The Grandmaster’s Body Refining Talent ranks among the best even in the entire Southern Heaven Domain. It’s just that we don’t know whether he is willing to inherit our Imperial Extreme Sect’s ultimate skill, ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body,’” the hunchbacked old man’s eyes shot out a piercing brilliance, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a gem of great potential.

’Nine Dragon Dominating Body’ is one of the inheritances of the Imperial Extreme Sect, requiring at least a Super Grade First Class Body Refining Talent to qualify for cultivation.

Even the Peak Master of Overlord Body Peak, Venerable Zi Chen, was slightly lacking.

Otherwise, he would have passed on the ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body’ to Venerable Zi Chen long ago.

And Ye Chen’s Body Refining Talent undoubtedly met the standards for cultivating ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body.’

However, Ye Chen’s background is incredibly mysterious; there is likely a legendary Pill God backing him.

So whether he is willing to inherit the ultimate skill of ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body,’ the hunchbacked old man wasn’t certain.

”Sigh! If it were someone else, they would be desperate to cultivate the ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body.’ Once this ultimate skill is mastered, one could basically walk unhindered in this world! However, Master Ye Chen’s background is so significant, who knows if he will agree,” Venerable Zi Chen sighed.

Although he had never cultivated ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body,’ he deeply understood how powerful this inheritance was.

After all, he had only cultivated a special technique passed to him by the hunchbacked old man, yet he became a Golden Core Realm Venerable.

And ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body’ is far more powerful than that special technique.

It’s unimaginable how terrifying it would be if someone could completely master the ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body.’

”Things cannot be forced. When the time is right, I will ask the Grandmaster’s intention. If he doesn’t want to cultivate the ’Nine Dragon Dominating Body,’ then there’s nothing I can do,” the hunchbacked old man said with a wry smile.

”Master, the once-in-three-year Seven Peak Competition is just ten days away. We originally planned to have Lu Ping participate in the competition, but now he has been killed by Master Ye Chen, so I’m not sure who to find to replace him,” at this moment, Venerable Zi Chen suddenly frowned.

Azure Sky Immortal Sect holds a Seven Peak Competition every three years.

The participants are generally the most outstanding Outer Disciples of the Seven Great Peaks.

If a faction’s contestant wins the championship of the Seven Peak Competition, then that faction can obtain the right to mine the Celestial Spirit Stone Mine in the western part of Cang Province for three years.

This is unquestionably an enormous temptation for the leaders of the Seven Great Peaks.

After all, Celestial Spirit Stone Mines are incredibly rare even in the Southern Heaven Domain, and the right to mine for three years would undoubtedly yield unimaginable wealth.

So, each Seven Peak Competition, the leaders of the various peaks would do everything possible to ensure their disciples seize the championship.

However, in recent decades, the championship of the Seven Peak Competition has been almost monopolized by Azure Sky Peak and Piaomiao Peak.

As for Overlord Body Peak, it has been fifty or sixty years since anyone from there won the championship.

This left the leaders of Overlord Body Peak feeling utterly disgraced.

This time, they finally recruited Lu Ping, a once-in-a-century Body Refining Talent, hoping he could win this Seven Peak Competition’s championship.

But who would have thought he would be killed by Ye Chen.

Even Venerable Zi Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache.

”Ah, my disciple! I never thought that in the years I’ve been away from Overlord Body Peak, it would decline to such a state. Not even a single person who could claim the championship in the Seven Peaks Competition, those old fogeys are surely laughing at me secretly!” the hunchbacked old man sighed helplessly.

He had founded Overlord Body Peak, and it had been over a thousand years by now.

Before Venerable Zi Chen took over Overlord Body Peak, it always performed incredibly strongly, even matching Azure Sky Peak and Piaomiao Peak.

But ever since he retired, Overlord Body Peak had begun to decline.

In fact, in the past fifty to sixty years, not a single disciple had claimed the championship in the Seven Peaks Competition.

This truly made the hunchbacked old man feel very disappointed.

”Master, it is the disciple’s failure for not making Overlord Body Peak flourish,” Venerable Zi Chen couldn’t help but bow his head, his eyes filled with deep guilt.

”Master, considering that Lord Ye Chen’s strength is so formidable, he can even crush Lu Ping. Why not let him participate in this year’s Seven Peaks Competition? Perhaps he might have a chance to win the championship,” Profound Spirit suddenly suggested from the side.

”Ha ha! I was thinking the same, but it’s uncertain if Lord Ye Chen would be willing,” Venerable Zi Chen quickly agreed.

”You can have Jin Kun, that little fellow, go ask the Grandmaster. If he agrees, let him participate. If he’s unwilling, do not force him! Understand? And during the Seven Peaks Competition, you must ensure his safety,” the hunchbacked old man said gravely.

”Yes, Master,” Venerable Zi Chen replied respectfully.

”Disciple, I will be leaving Cang Province for a while to collect the materials needed by the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster is entrusted to you and Profound Spirit for protection. If anything happens to him, then there will be no one to cure my Netherworld Demon Poison,” the hunchbacked old man couldn’t help but remind Venerable Zi Chen.

”Rest assured, disciple will not allow any harm to befall Lord Ye Chen,” Venerable Zi Chen patted his chest confidently and reassured.

As long as Ye Chen remained within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s jurisdiction, he would ensure Ye Chen’s safety.

Of course, he wouldn’t interfere in Ye Chen’s life unnecessarily.

After all, Ye Chen came to Cang Province to enjoy the world and would definitely not want to be disturbed.

Whoosh!

At this moment, above the Life and Death Battle Platform, Ye Chen threw Lu Ping’s corpse aside and flew down towards the platform below.

His gaze landed on Tuoba Xiong and Xiahou Dian, giving them a cold smile, ”You schemed to kill me above the Life and Death Battle Platform, but unfortunately, you overestimated Lu Ping’s strength. Now, do you feel disappointed?”

”Damn ant, shut up! Don’t get too cocky; anyone who offends me, Tuoba Xiong, meets a bad end,” Tuoba Xiong’s face turned gloomy to the extreme as he said harshly to Ye Chen, terrifying killing intent surging from his whole body, sending shivers down anyone’s spine.

”Hmph! Trash, don’t think that just because you used the power of a Secret Treasure to kill Lu Ping, you’re unstoppable. In this world, there are countless people who can crush you. I advise you to obediently hand over Ouyang Xue, this remnant. She’s not someone you, a mere waste, can protect,” Xiahou Dian sneered, staring indifferently at Ouyang Xue as if looking at prey waiting to be slaughtered.

The only reason he dispatched people to destroy the Ouyang Family was to find the treasure map left by the Ouyang Family’s ancestor.

And now, Ouyang Xue was the last of the Ouyang Family.

She was very likely the one who knew the whereabouts of that treasure map.

So, he absolutely wouldn’t let Ouyang Xue go.

”Old scoundrel, as long as I’m here, no one can harm Teacher Ouyang! You sent people to destroy Teacher Ouyang’s family; one day, I will make you pay with blood,” Ye Chen’s fists involuntarily clenched tightly, making a crackling sound, and a terrifying cold light shot from his eyes.

This old scoundrel not only sent people to wipe out the entire Ouyang Family but also didn’t plan to spare Ouyang Xue.

This undoubtedly touched Ye Chen’s reverse scale.

When his strength becomes strong enough, he will uproot the entire Xiahou Family to avenge Ouyang Xue.

”Just relying on you, this waste? I’m curious how you plan to make me pay with blood,” Xiahou Dian burst into laughter, his mouth full of mockery as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

A mere Celestial Spirit Realm ant, only relying on the power of a Secret Treasure to barely kill Lu Ping.

He really considered himself important!

If it weren’t for the protection of Real Person Jin Kun for this ant, he could have crushed Ye Chen with a single finger.

”Hmph! Overstepping waste, you have absolutely no idea how strong Steward Xiahou truly is. Crushing you, this waste, is no different from stepping on an ant. Who gave you, this waste, the courage to say such things?” Just then, a figure suddenly flew out from among the disciples of Azure Sky Peak, speaking with a mocking tone.

This figure was none other than Wang Tian.

At this moment, he held his head high, looking at Ye Chen with extreme disdain, like viewing a pathetic clown.
