Supreme Lord of Towers

Whoosh!

Xiao Mo’s form flickered, and his body instantly vanished from its original position, akin to a terrifying human beast, swiftly soaring toward the White Jade Battle Platform ahead.

In the next moment, he descended onto the White Jade Battle Platform with his head held high, his gaze fixated on Ye Chen below, as if looking at prey he could easily dominate.

He ranks fourth within the Inner Hall, possessing exceptionally formidable power, and naturally does not regard the newcomer Ye Chen with any respect.

The reason he accepted Ye Chen’s challenge was that most of the top ten experts in the Inner Hall were out on missions.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even bother to fight Ye Chen.

After all, if any newcomer wanted to challenge him, he’d be exhausted.

”Since your time is so precious, let’s make this quick!” Ye Chen said coolly.

Swish!

In the next moment, his figure flickered, landing on the White Jade Battle Platform to confront Xiao Mo.

He could sense that atop the White Jade Battle Platform, a mysterious force was present, weakening their combat abilities.

This force emanates from the surrounding array, intended to prevent the Inner Hall disciples’ powers from being overly destructive.

However, although Ye Chen’s combat strength was significantly decreased, the same applied to his opponent Xiao Mo.

Thus, this match remains quite fair.

”Ha! Then I shall indulge you, I’ll defeat you within three moves!” Xiao Mo lazily laughed, his eyes filled with disdain.

He wants Ye Chen to understand that Xiao Mo isn’t someone any Tom, Dick, or Harry can challenge.

”Quite a boast, but I wonder how strong you truly are?” A cold smile flickered at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth.

”You’ll know soon enough! Vermilion Martial Bloodline, activate!” At this moment, an extremely terrifying force erupted from Xiao Mo’s body, causing souls to tremble.

Before him appeared a towering figure, reaching a height of thirty to forty zhang.

It was a fierce beast resembling an ape, covered head to toe in white fur, with crimson hands and feet.

This fierce beast was none other than the legendary Vermilion.

The Vermilion lineage, even amidst All Heavens and Myriad Realms, is an utterly dreadful race; if grown successfully, it could rival the Divine Spirit.

Xiao Mo’s body harbors the Vermilion bloodline, and its density has been elevated to four-star.

As a result, the higher-ups of the Five Great Sacred Lands personally visited the Xiao Family to recruit him, aiming to appoint him as a Saint Son.

But ultimately, Xiao Mo chose the Human King Hall.

Because he didn’t intend to become one of the Vermilion race, but rather a pure-blood Human Race.

For this, he could abandon the Vermilion bloodline within him.

However, the Vermilion bloodline in his body remains intact.

The leadership of the Human King Hall plans to have him cultivate the Vermilion War Body to a high realm before transforming him into a pure-blood Human Race.

By then, even if he loses the Vermilion bloodline, his fighting power will remain terrifyingly potent.

”Look, that’s Brother Xiao Mo’s Vermilion bloodline.”

”Ye Chen being defeated by Brother Xiao Mo’s Vermilion bloodline is still an honor.” The inner hall disciples watching began to discuss with evident reluctance in their eyes.

It’s noteworthy that Xiao Mo’s Vermilion bloodline is a Celestial Level Fourth Grade bloodline; scarcely anyone in the entire Yellow Cloud World can match it.

More frighteningly, his bloodline density has reached four-star, far superior to two-star.

Even without cultivating the Vermilion War Body tailored by the Human King Hall for him, he could crush most cultivators of the same realm.

What’s more, he has already refined the Vermilion War Body to a certain extent.

Ye Chen wishing to defeat him is utterly unrealistic.

”My goodness! It’s indeed the legendary Vermilion bloodline! Chen’er is in dire straits this time.” Ye Ming, Xiao Hui, and others gasped, their expressions growing exceedingly grim.

The Human King Hall is truly a place of hidden talent, where even the legendary Vermilion bloodline can be witnessed.

Such a bloodline is renowned even among all Celestial bloodlines in the Yellow Cloud World, surpassing Shangguan Zitong’s Cyan Dragon bloodline by a level, utterly impossible for Ye Chen to conquer ordinarily.

”Rest assured! Even if Ye Chen loses, nothing will happen to him, Xiao Mo will undoubtedly show restraint.” Elder Luo said calmly, as if everything was within his control.

It is strictly forbidden to kill at the Human King Hall headquarters.

Thus, even sparring between Inner Hall disciples ends when necessary.

If someone dares to kill indiscriminately, not only will they be expelled from the Human King Hall, but they’ll also face severe punishment.

Therefore, unless one is foolish, they wouldn’t take such a risk.

Moreover, the White Jade Battle Platform is enveloped by the array’s power.

If an Inner Hall disciple truly faces mortal danger, the Inner Hall’s elders will surely use the array’s power to rescue them instantly.

In this way, Ye Chen will face no significant danger, even if defeated by Xiao Mo, he might only suffer minor injuries.

”That’s good then! That’s good!” Ye Ming and Xiao Hui both breathed a sigh of relief.

They don’t harbor the hope that Ye Chen could triumph over Xiao Mo, given the opponent’s monstrous prowess.

They merely wish for Ye Chen’s safe return.

”Ye Chen, do you truly believe you’re remarkable just because you slew a few Quasi-God heirs of the Dragon Race? I’ll show you now the reality of endless possibilities and higher mountains, fall before me.” At this moment, Xiao Mo’s gaze turned chilling.

Roar!

In the next moment, he maneuvered the towering Vermilion, appearing before Ye Chen, its massive fists swinging like the Hammer of the Celestial God, ferociously smashing toward Ye Chen.

Were it not for the White Jade Battle Platform being enveloped by the array’s power, the Vermilion’s stature would be hundreds of zhang tall, and its strength significantly more potent than now.

Even so, he remains confident in completely crushing Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen’s combat strength is equally diminished by the array’s power, leaving barely one-tenth intact.

”Your strength, isn’t all that impressive, there’s nothing to boast about!” Facing Xiao Mo’s attack, Ye Chen remained utterly tranquil, a cold smile flickering at his mouth.

Xiao Mo’s Vermilion bloodline is formidable indeed; defeating ordinary Quasi-God heirs would pose no issue.

Yet, before Ye Chen, it’s unremarkable.

Roar!

In the next moment, a distinct dragon’s roar echoed loudly from within Ye Chen, piercing gold and stone, reverberating skyward.

Immediately afterward, he swung his fist toward the incoming Vermilion.
