Supreme Lord of Towers

"Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul Realm expert? I'm still too weak." Ye Chen furrowed his brows tightly, speaking with an incredibly solemn expression.

At this moment, he could feel a strong sense of deadly threat emanating from Hua Qingyu.

Even if he had cultivated his Human Emperor Body to the Undying Realm, the opponent could still potentially kill him.

This realization once again made Ye Chen aware that he was far from being powerful enough.

He had to remember, his enemies were the Divine Spirit Family's Ye Clan and the Ji Race!

These two colossal forces both had Quasi-God experts overseeing them.

If he couldn't defeat even a Nascent Soul Realm expert, how could he avenge his parents, or rescue his grandfather?

"You old witch, I'll fight you to the end!" Ye Chen's eyes turned blood-red as he was about to unleash the power of the War God Puppet.

If his cultivation reached the Golden Core Realm, combined with the ability to burst forth six times his mana, killing him would not be so easy for Hua Qingyu.

Therefore, he would definitely not sit and wait for death.

"Who gave you the courage to dare move against Lord Ye Chen, you insolent fool!" At that moment, an extremely angry voice suddenly exploded in the ears of everyone present.

With a loud bang!

Immediately after, a figure descended from high above, appearing before Ye Chen in an instant.

It was an incredibly old, hunched-back elder, giving off an impression of fragility, as if a gust of wind could topple him over.

Yet, when facing that terrifying golden lotus, he showed no fear, instead swinging his small fist at it.

Crack, crack.

The next moment, an incredulous scene unfolded.

Huge cracks began to appear atop the golden lotus, rapidly spreading in all directions.

With a loud bang.

In the blink of an eye, the golden lotus exploded in the air, vanishing without a trace.

"Master! Great, you finally came." Venerable Profound Spirit couldn't conceal his joy.

Nurtured by the Evolutionary Power, his internal organs had completely regrown and were far stronger than before.

Therefore, his life was no longer in any danger.

"Lord Ye Chen, I'm sorry I arrived late, nearly allowing you to suffer a catastrophe!" The hunched-back elder said, his face full of guilt.

For years, he had been collecting the medicinal materials Ye Chen required, and it wasn't until recently that he completed the collection.

He hurried to the Fire Dragon Mountain Range at once, eager to deliver the materials to Ye Chen.

Once Ye Chen refines these materials into Clear Spirit Pills, he could completely eradicate the Netherworld Demon Poison within him.

The thought of it filled him with anticipation.

However, little did he expect that as soon as he arrived, he witnessed Hua Qingyu attempting to kill Ye Chen.

This infuriated him beyond measure.

If he had come a moment later, Ye Chen would likely be dead by now.

Without Ye Chen, there would be no one to cure him.

"Not late, not late, you arrived just in time. It seems you've collected all the materials." Ye Chen's expression revealed considerable excitement upon seeing the hunched-back elder.

The elder's strength was unfathomable.

If not for the Netherworld Demon Poison, there would be few opponents for him in the Yellow Cloud World.

Still, even though his cultivation had fallen to the Golden Core Realm, he should be able to contend with Hua Qingyu.

After all, even a starving camel is bigger than a horse.

Though his cultivation was far from his peak, his martial arts realm and combat experience remained intact.

Even if he couldn't crush Hua Qingyu, holding her off shouldn't be too difficult!

"That's right! Once I've slain this insolent fool, I'll ask Lord Ye Chen to help with the alchemy!" The elder's eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying cold light, staring coldly at Hua Qingyu, as if looking at a corpse.

"My God! Who is this man, capable of negating Hua Qingyu's attack!"

"His cultivation seems to be only at the Peak of Golden Core Realm, how can he be this strong!" The experts from the Immortal Sect exclaimed in shock, their eyes brimming with curiosity.

Though the hunched-back elder established Overlord Body Peak, he was extremely discreet.

Therefore, few in the Southern Heaven Domain knew his true identity.

"So strong! Who exactly is he?" Even Elder Bai Yuan couldn't help but be amazed.

As an Inner Hall Elder of the Human King Hall, he knew deeply how formidable it was for a Peak of Golden Core Realm expert to oppose one from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even possessing a Quasi-Immortal Artifact and cultivating Demigod Level Martial Arts, he couldn't contend with Hua Qingyu and would be crushed.

Yet, the hunched-back elder dissolved Hua Qingyu's attack with a single punch.

It was truly perplexing.

Even among those in the Human King Hall, there were few Golden Core Venerables as strong as this elder.

"Considering someone of his caliber, he should have a chance to make it onto the Golden Core List, yet we've never heard of him." Dongfang Lin and Wang Gong couldn't help but feel astonished.

The Golden Core List, an ancient list in the Yellow Cloud World, documents heaven-defying entities amongst the Golden Core Venerables.

Especially the top-ranked prodigies, each capable of challenging Nascent Soul Realm experts.

The hunched-back elder already demonstrated the power to contend with Hua Qingyu.

If willing, he should be able to make it onto the Golden Core List.

But the list didn't include him.

Could it be, he has no interest in being on the Golden Core List!

"Damn! This old fool again, where did he come from, daring to ruin our plans!" Nearby, Ye Zhong's face was utterly darkened.

Just moments ago, Hua Qingyu was about to crush Ye Chen.

Yet this hunched-back elder appeared and blocked Hua Qingyu's attacks.

How could Ye Zhong not be furious!

"Could he be our Overlord Body Peak's founder, Overlord?" At this point, Tuoba Xiong's pupils constricted suddenly, his expression turning grim.

Though the elder was always extremely low-key, he had once visited Overlord Body Peak.

As the Third Elder of Overlord Body Peak, Tuoba Xiong had seen the elder from afar.

Thus, he immediately recognized the elder as the founder of Overlord Body Peak.

"I see, no wonder he's here to save Ye Chen, that little bastard. But even if he is Overlord Body Peak's founder, so what? His cultivation is only at the Golden Core Realm, he can't possibly be Hua Qingyu's match!" Tuoba Zhen couldn't help but sneer, his expression full of disdain.
