Three days later.
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself lying on a wooden bed, with a piercing pain radiating from his back.
Rumble, rumble.
At the moment Ye Chen awakened, the sky above the Celestial Flame Dynasty suddenly turned pitch black, as if night had fallen.
Immediately after, countless terrifying celestial thunders rampaged across the sky, as if they were tearing the very firmament apart, creating a scene of utmost horror.
"A celestial anomaly."
"Could it be that within our Celestial Flame Dynasty, someone has been born with the legendary divine-level bloodline?"
"Investigate this immediately, we must recruit this prodigy into our Celestial Flame Academy." At this moment, the powerful figures across the Celestial Flame Dynasty were all alarmed by this phenomenon, each one in shock and extreme excitement.
"What terrifying celestial thunder…." Ye Chen was also stunned by the anomaly in the sky, not knowing what was happening.
"This is the celestial anomaly caused by your bloodline completely transforming into a pure human bloodline. From now on, you can inherit the legacy left by my master, the Supreme Human Emperor!" At this moment, an elder with an immortal demeanor suddenly floated out from within Ye Chen.
"Who are you? How are you inside my body?" Ye Chen asked in shock.
"Heh heh, I am the Tower Spirit of the Human Emperor Tower. Poor lad, to think you were betrayed by your beloved woman who stole your bloodline! However, this misfortune has also turned into a blessing, as you have awakened me from my slumber of many years," the elder remarked wistfully.
"Human Emperor Tower? Could it be the broken tower my father left me?" Ye Chen was utterly astonished.
When he was six years old, his father gave him a small white tower.
But now, it had disappeared.
Yet, that small tower had hung around his neck for ten years without any sign of activity.
Why did it awaken the elder in the tower now?
"The reason I could be awakened is because you now possess pure human bloodline." The elder smiled gently.
He informed Ye Chen that in this world, humans generally have traces of other races' bloodlines within them, finding someone with a pure human bloodline is extremely difficult.
But Ye Chen, after having his bloodline extracted by Ye Lin'Er and her father, encountered misfortune that turned to fortune, transforming into a pure human bloodline, thus awakening the elder.
"Alas! Elder, I have already lost my bloodline. No matter how powerful the inheritance I receive, what good will it do? In this world, people who cannot awaken their bloodline have no prospects."
Ye Chen sighed in frustration, his brows filled with an overwhelming sense of dejection.
He had originally hoped to rely on his Phoenix Race bloodline to cultivate into an unparalleled powerhouse, to avenge his parents.
But now, all of it vanished into thin air.
And all because he trustingly believed in that deceitful woman, Ye Lin'Er.
"Haha, young one, let me tell you, a pure human bloodline cultivated to the utmost is not inferior to any other bloodline!
Back in the day, my master, the Human Emperor, was of pure human lineage, yet he cultivated to the supreme realm, where even the Chaos Ancestor Dragon and the Emperor of Heaven were defeated by him.
And you, by inheriting the Human Emperor's legacy, can continuously develop your potential, and one day, you too might surpass the strongest in All Heavens and Myriad Realms like my master." The elder said.
Buzz.
As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious force drew Ye Chen into an enormous space.
"This is…!" Upon entering, Ye Chen's whole body shivered uncontrollably, his expression extremely shocked.
Before him was an endless starry sky, filled with innumerable stars.
Deep in the firmament, floated a hundred and eight massive burning suns, emitting an intensely blazing aura, seemingly capable of incinerating the universe.
In the presence of such a grand spectacle, Ye Chen's innermost being involuntarily felt incredibly small.
Rumble, rumble.
At this moment, bolts of lightning, thicker than mountains, suddenly wreaked havoc in the depths of the cosmos, reducing countless stars to dust in their wake.
Soon after, a Divine Tower, larger than stars, emerged from within the depths of the lightning, radiating a dazzling white divine light.
"Is that the legendary True Dragon Race and Phoenix Race?" Ye Chen's eyes widened as large as saucers.
What did he see?
The Divine Tower, larger than stars, turned out to be forged from the remains of thousands upon thousands of True Dragons and Phoenixes.
Each of these True Dragons and Phoenixes spanned millions of feet long, and despite being dead for countless years, they exuded an unbelievably terrifying aura.
If they were still alive, they could easily slay a Divine Spirit.
Yet now, their remains had been used to forge a Divine Tower, such an extraordinary feat was nothing short of heaven-defying.
"Wait? There seem to be other Divine Towers deeper within the lightning." Ye Chen suddenly gasped in awe.
He vaguely saw six or seven more Divine Towers standing amidst those terrifying bolts of lightning.
Each tower was more immense and formidable than the last, exuding an increasingly fearsome aura.
