Supreme Lord of Towers

"Master, is this the city of the Human Race? It's so lively! But the strength of these people is too weak." At this moment, atop the street in Wind Shelter City, Ruyi lay lazily on Ye Chen's shoulder, looking around at the cultivators with a curious expression.

"Are they really that weak?" Ye Chen felt a bit speechless.

It's important to know that this time, the cultivators entering the Ancient Ruins to explore are basically all Profound Pill Realm experts and are the prodigies of major forces in the Southern Heaven Domain.

Compared to them, almost no one in Cang Province could compete.

Yet, in Ruyi's eyes, they appear pitifully weak.

This couldn't be more ironic!

"Even when our Black Tortoise Race is just born, we're far stronger than them!" Ruyi proudly lifted his small head with a smug expression.

In front of ordinary humans, he indeed felt greatly superior.

After all, he was a Divine Beast.

"We also have strong beings within the Human Race. You'll find out later," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"It's Ye Chen, he's back!"

"Wasn't he dealing with the last of the Six Sons of Azure Cloud? Could it be that he's already won?" The surrounding cultivators exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing Ye Chen, eyes filled with immense caution.

Currently, the news of Ye Chen killing Chi Feng has spread throughout the entire Ancient Ruins.

Everyone knows that his combat strength is terrifyingly extreme, even the core disciple Zhao Yu of Ziwei Sacred Land is far inferior.

Hence, everyone reveres Ye Chen like a deity.

Swish, swish!

Just then, two elders suddenly descended from above, arriving before Ye Chen.

And they were Dongfang Lin and Wang Gong.

"Little friend Ye Chen, have you already dealt with the head of the Six Sons of Azure Cloud?" Dongfang Lin hurriedly asked.

"Indeed! I've killed him!" Ye Chen nodded calmly, as if he had just done something insignificant!

"Congratulations, little friend Ye Chen, with that foreign visitor dead, we can finally rest easy." Wang Gong couldn't help but smile with joy.

It seemed his guess was correct.

The strength of that foreign visitor wasn't as formidable as he imagined.

Otherwise, Ye Chen could never have killed him.

"By the way! Where are Xiao Xi and Zitong?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

His Divine Soul was extremely powerful, but he couldn't sense Ye Xi and them in Wind Shelter City.

So, chances were they weren't in Wind Shelter City.

"Little friend Ye Chen, rest assured, we've already sent them to a very safe place. Let me take you to see them now," Dongfang Lin said with a smile.

"Good, I'll trouble Elder Dongfang then." Ye Chen nodded.

Swish, swish, swish!

In the next moment, Dongfang Lin and Wang Gong soared skyward, swiftly carrying Ye Chen out of Wind Shelter City.

...

"Little friend Ye Chen, now that all your enemies have been eradicated, you finally have time to consider joining our Human King Hall." In the sky, Wang Gong grinned at Ye Chen.

"No need to consider! I've already decided to join the Human King Hall." To Wang Gong's surprise, Ye Chen didn't even hesitate to answer directly.

Because he had already pondered this for a long time, there was no need to think it over again.

"Really? That's wonderful, truly wonderful." Dongfang Lin's pupils constricted sharply, trembling with excitement.

"Haha! Our Human King Hall recruiting a prodigy like you is truly a great fortune!

Rest assured, from now on, our Human King Hall will fully protect you and your family's safety.

Even if external forces are poised to invade our Yellow Cloud World, we'll absolutely ensure they won't harm them," Wang Gong said with boundless joy.

Even he hadn't expected Ye Chen to agree so readily.

"Elder Wang, what did you just say? External forces are poised to invade our Yellow Cloud World!" Ye Chen's face changed dramatically, filled with disbelief.

It's important to know, although our Yellow Cloud World has always faced external invasions, their scale has never been very large.

Every time, the Human Race's strong figures managed to suppress them.

Even so, each invasion causes significant casualties, often with many human cities being devastated and countless innocent humans dying tragically.

Fortunately, the Human Race's reproduction capacity is immensely strong, able to quickly restore lost populations.

Otherwise, the Human Race in Yellow Cloud World might no longer exist.

But this time, the external invasion seems to be different from usual.

If it's indeed a large-scale invasion, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As Ye Chen knows, such an incident had occurred once in the history of Yellow Cloud World.

During that event, the strong figures of Yellow Cloud World suffered heavy casualties, and many sects and families ceased to exist, alongside a significant change in the entire world's structure.

That era is undoubtedly the darkest moment for the Human Race.

If not for timely assistance from strong figures of other Human Race Realms.

The entire Yellow Cloud World would have been conquered by external forces.

"Ye Chen, before, you weren't a member of our Human King Hall, so I couldn't reveal this secret to you, but now it's different.

Our Human King Hall has received definitive information that external forces will truly invade our Yellow Cloud World soon, so you must be psychologically prepared," Wang Gong said very gravely, not sounding like he was joking at all.

The Human King Hall chose not to disclose this secret to the world to prevent widespread panic.

In fact, some super powerful forces have also received the news and are preparing defenses against the external forces.

"Damn it! Our Yellow Cloud World is merely a Seventh-class Realm, why would external forces want to invade us?" Ye Chen said, face extremely grim.

"Alas! Because, in many foreign races' eyes, the Human Race is like food!

The essence blood and soul of humans have great utility for many foreign races; given sufficient quantity, it can dramatically boost their strength.

Moreover, our Yellow Cloud World contains many cultivation resources, definitely worth external forces occupying," Dongfang Lin explained to Ye Chen.

"Master, he's right! Whether in Yellow Cloud World or throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the Human Race is the target of foreign races' coveting.

Before the Supreme Human Emperor fully rose, the Human Race had endured a regrettable period; it was the Supreme Human Emperor's absolute strength that completely changed that situation, making foreign races fear, not daring to easily target the Human Race.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Human Emperor has already fallen, and foreign races are surely restless again," Tower Spirit sighed.
