Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, the tree branches that had fallen to the ground were so thick that it took several people to embrace them, and they emitted a faint purple glow throughout, as if made from Divine Jade.

Ye Chen could sense that these branches were filled with an incredibly strong Wood Spirit Qi.

This made his gaze instantly become intensely fervent.

"Purple Wood Demon King, stop your futile struggles. My Swordsmanship realm has already reached the Eighth Realm of True Intent, capable of developing a Sword Dao Domain, so even if you reveal your true form, it's useless," the Seventh Hall Master of the Immortal Sect of Ten Thousand Swords displayed a deep sense of pride between his brows.

In this world, for a Profound Pill Realm master to break through to the Golden Core Realm and become a revered one, one must first cultivate a Martial Art to the Seventh Realm of True Intent; otherwise, they will be stuck at the Peak of Profound Pill Realm forever.

However, the Seventh Hall Master of the Immortal Sect of Ten Thousand Swords had already cultivated a Swordsmanship to the Eighth Realm of True Intent.

Even looking across the entire Southern Heaven Domain, he is considered a master in this field.

Whereas the Purple Wood Demon King had just recently become a Demon King, and his strength was considerably weaker compared to him.

So, today, he had absolute confidence to slay the Purple Wood Demon King.

"What? Eighth Realm of True Intent." Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, once again stunned in place.

He originally thought that cultivating the "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique" to the Fourth Realm of True Intent was already quite impressive.

But he never expected that the Seventh Hall Master of the Immortal Sect of Ten Thousand Swords had already reached the Eighth Realm of True Intent.

The gap between them was just too vast.

No wonder the other party could kill him so effortlessly.

"Haha, Master, you need to consider how long he has been cultivating, whereas you are just seventeen years old, and your Martial Arts realm is already so high. In no time, you will definitely catch up to him," the Tower Spirit smiled slightly, unable to stop comforting Ye Chen.

Yes!

Indeed, Ren Chenfeng's Martial Arts realm was much higher than Ye Chen's, but the other party was already over a thousand years old.

And Ye Chen, this year, was only seventeen, with plenty of time to cultivate.

Moreover, he had the Enlightenment Divine Tower, able to rapidly comprehend various Martial Arts.

So, surpassing the other party was not a difficult task at all.

"That's true, I was just too anxious myself." The corners of Ye Chen's mouth couldn't help but display a bitter smile.

"Ren Chenfeng, I won't let you succeed, Purple Wood Disintegration Technique." Just then, the furious voice of the Purple Wood Demon King suddenly echoed across the mountains.

Crack, crack.

Immediately after, a gigantic rift appeared above his massive body that was thousands of feet high, from which a dazzling purple light burst forth, more brilliant than the sun in the sky.

"What? He intends to explode his demon body." Ren Chenfeng's pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression immediately became extremely grave.

Even he didn't expect that the Purple Wood Demon King would resort to such extreme measures to oppose him.

One must know that once the Purple Wood Demon King exploded his demon body, even if he survives, his power would greatly diminish, and even his cultivation might regress significantly.

For him to make such a decision in such a short time was indeed ruthless.

"As long as I can survive, what does it matter to explode my demon body? I swear, one day, I will return to make you pay in blood." The Purple Wood Demon King spoke with extreme venom in his voice.

Rumble.

Immediately, his massive body exploded completely, generating incredibly terrifying power, sweeping in all directions.

Wherever this power reached, the entire mountain range was leveled to the ground, and even the surface revealed countless bottomless ravines, an extremely terrifying sight.

"Damn it." Ren Chenfeng's face turned incredibly grim, and he quickly pushed his mana to the extreme, employing the Sword Intent Domain to envelop himself in the center.

"Such terrifying power, luckily I already hid within the Human Emperor's Space, or else I would definitely have faced certain death." Ye Chen couldn't help but shiver, looking extremely relieved.

Swoosh!

Just then, a purple stream of light suddenly shot out from the place where the Purple Wood Demon King exploded, fleeing rapidly into the distance.

This was the core part of the Purple Wood Demon King's body.

Being a plant-type demon of the Demon Race, as long as the core part remained intact, there was a chance to grow a new body in the future.

However, during this period, his combat power was far from his peak state.

This was also the price of self-detonation.

"He actually managed to escape." Ye Chen frowned slightly and said.

Even he had to admit that the escape skills of the Purple Wood Demon King were indeed strong, and even someone like Ren Chenfeng at the mid-stage of Golden Core couldn't completely kill him.

"Even if he escapes, his combat power will never be the same, so he will very likely not continue to stay in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range, but return to the Outer Realm," the Tower Spirit said.

"Mm! In this way, my demon-slaying mission will probably end soon." Ye Chen nodded.

Once the Purple Wood Demon King escaped back to the Outer Realm, the other demons in the Celestial Cry Mountain Range would also certainly all withdraw.

By then, his demon-slaying mission would also come to a close.

"Purple Wood Demon King, where do you think you're going?" At this moment, Ren Chenfeng's figure suddenly shot out from the rolling dust, transforming into a stream of light, rapidly pursuing the direction in which the Purple Wood Demon King fled.

No matter how powerful he was, he was nearly injured by the explosion of the Purple Wood Demon King.

Fortunately, his Sword Dao Domain was incredibly strong, covering a range of a thousand feet in diameter. The power of the Purple Wood Demon King's explosion couldn't penetrate it.

"They've finally left!" Watching Ren Chenfeng's disappearing figure, Ye Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, his gaze was drawn to the immensely thick tree branches, with sharp brilliance shooting out from his eyes.

"Fortunately, most of these tree branches were covered by the Sword Dao Domain and weren't destroyed by the explosive force of the Purple Wood Demon King; otherwise, it would have been a pity." Ye Chen said with extreme excitement.

Whoosh!

The next moment, he dashed out from the Human Emperor's Space, rapidly flying towards those tree branches.

It's worth noting that these branches were all chopped from the Purple Wood Demon King's body, each containing an immensely rich Wood Spirit Qi.

If Ye Chen could devour them, he would certainly gain a great deal of Power of Enlightenment.

"Master, quickly gather them up and leave this place." The Tower Spirit hurriedly urged Ye Chen.

Ren Chenfeng, though gone to pursue the Purple Wood Demon King, who knows if he might return.

If he discovered Ye Chen took these branches, it would be troublesome.

After all, these branches were incredibly valuable.
