Supreme Lord of Towers

Swoosh!

Above the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, a figure was flying at high speed, emitting a piercing sound that cut through the air, trailing a snow-white wave behind.

This figure was none other than Ye Chen!

His speed was extremely fast; in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had flown several hundred miles, unknowingly entering the inner region of the Celestial Cry Mountain Range.

"I've already used the communication crystal stone to ask about Zhu'er and Senior Brother Xu Yan's whereabouts, but they haven't responded. Damn it, could it be that something really happened to them?" Ye Chen's face turned extremely grim, his eyes filled with deep anxiety.

Every disciple with a relatively high status in the Azure Sky Immortal Sect would typically carry a communication crystal stone, used to contact other disciples.

Especially in times of urgency, these stones can be used to call for help from other powerful cultivators.

Both Zhu'er and Xu Yan had a communication crystal stone with them.

But now, Ye Chen couldn't reach them.

This indicated that they were very likely in crisis, without even the time to respond to Ye Chen.

"Hua Qianxue, if anything happens to Zhu'er and Senior Brother Xu Yan, I will make you pay in blood." Ye Chen's chest was filled with fury, his fists clenched so tightly they made a harsh cracking sound.

"Master, the Celestial Cry Mountain Range is simply too vast. Searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you could encounter those Great Demons at any moment. Regular Great Demons can't do much to you, but if you accidently encounter the Demon King, you'll be in danger." Tower Spirit suggested with a slight furrowing of its brows.

It's known that the strength of any Demon King can rival that of a Venerable Golden Core.

With Ye Chen's current power, if he encountered them, he would certainly be crushed.

Even if he had cultivated the Human Emperor Body to the Third Layer of the Vajra Realm, it would be difficult to withstand the Demon King's attacks.

Therefore, if he accidentally provoked the Demon King, he could face mortal danger at any moment.

"Tower Spirit, do you have any way to help me find Zhu'er and Senior Brother Xu Yan?" Ye Chen's expression grew heavier, acknowledging the reason in Tower Spirit's words.

Though his power had increased significantly, and he possessed the Human Emperor's Space, which he could retreat into in case of danger...

...if an enemy's power was too overwhelming and they could strike before he could react...

...then even the Human Emperor's Space would be of no use.

"There is a way, but you need to have something of Zhu'er and Xu Yan's with you," Tower Spirit said.

"I happen to have a spirit talisman that Zhu'er gave me," Ye Chen thought, and a black spirit talisman appeared in his hand.

This talisman, called the Black Fire Talisman, could unleash extremely hot black fire, able to withstand a strike from a Peak Divine Mansion expert.

Zhu'er was concerned about Ye Chen encountering danger in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range and gave him this talisman before he set out.

But until now, Ye Chen hadn't used it.

Because he simply didn't find it necessary.

"Good, this talisman is enough. I will now use a secret technique. As long as Zhu'er is within a thousand miles of this talisman, I can sense her presence," Tower Spirit said with a faint smile.

Buzz!

The next moment, radiance burst forth from Tower Spirit's soul body, enveloping the talisman.

Though he possessed no combat power, he could perform some peculiar secret techniques.

These secret techniques could be quite useful in critical moments.

"Over there," Tower Spirit's eyes suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, pointing toward the west.

With the help of the secret technique, he could vaguely sense Zhu'er's presence.

This indicated that Zhu'er was within a thousand miles of them.

"Zhu'er, Senior Brother Xu Yan, hold on. I'm coming to save you now," Ye Chen's body transformed into a streak of light, speeding deep into the Celestial Cry Mountain Range.

In this moment, he even fully unleashed the potential contained within his Perfect Body, his speed several times faster than usual, far surpassing the speed of sound.

He flew so fast that the air exploded around him, making a deafening sonic boom.

Though flying at such speeds risked attracting attention from those Great Demons...

...Ye Chen didn't care anymore, urgently wanting to find Zhu'er and Xu Yan.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, several dozen breaths had passed.

In those few dozen breaths, Ye Chen flew over a hundred miles, consuming a significant amount of his internal mana.

Anyone else would have needed to stop for a rest, to recover some mana.

But Ye Chen's Myriad Dao Space was filled with stores of pure energy, enabling his mana to instantly recover.

Thus, he had no need to stop at all.

"Master, wait, stop quickly; there's danger ahead," Tower Spirit's expression suddenly changed as he hastened to alert Ye Chen.

"Could it be a Great Demon?" Ye Chen was startled, quickly halting his flight and landing in the primitive forest below.

"No, not a Great Demon, a Demon King," Tower Spirit said, his face extremely grave.

"What? A Demon King?" Ye Chen's body shivered, filled with disbelief.

He knew that in the entire Celestial Cry Mountain Range, there was only one Demon King, the Purple Wood Demon King.

But he usually guarded the area around the spatial rift, so how could he appear nearby?

Bang!

While Ye Chen was in shock, an extremely terrifying force erupted dozens of miles away in the sky, causing a thunderous boom.

Even though it was very far away, Ye Chen could still feel an intense threat of death.

Yes!

An actual threat of death.

Previously, because he had cultivated the Human Emperor Body to the Third Layer of the Vajra Realm, his defense was immensely strong, even the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon's strength wasn't enough to threaten him.

But now, this power was many times stronger than that of the Black Rhinoceros Great Demon, making Ye Chen doubt his own Human Emperor Body.

"Terrifying, this power is truly terrifying; even with the Human Emperor Body, I could be obliterated at any moment," Ye Chen's body broke out in cold sweat, his spine tingling with chills.
