Lying on the bed, Ye Wushuang had already awakened, yet he was utterly immobilized, unable to move even a finger. His soul seemed to have been forcibly detached from his body, leaving him without any control over his physical form.
In sheer desperation, Ye Wushuang’s consciousness surged into the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower. This tower, which had once appeared within the Canghuang Sky, had caused a tremendous uproar. Countless top-tier warriors from the Canghuang Sky had rushed forth, and even the ancient relics, who had been on the brink of their lifespan and had long since fallen into a deep slumber, had awakened to join the fierce struggle for possession of the tower.
Ultimately, it was Ye Wushuang who obtained the tower, but at a great cost. His once formidable power as an Emperor was significantly diminished, and he was sealed by a coalition of nine other Emperors. During the million years he was sealed, Ye Wushuang continuously delved into the mysteries of the tower. From the first level of the tower, he discovered a divine technique.
The Ninefold Immortal Technique!
It was this divine technique that allowed Ye Wushuang’s Emperor’s soul to be divided into nine parts, gradually breaking free from the seal. Now, reborn in this world, Ye Wushuang had already merged with the ninth part of his soul. To return to his peak, he must fully integrate the remaining eight parts.
The Ninefold Immortal Technique, which could split the soul, was merely one of the secrets Ye Wushuang had uncovered within the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower. Another secret was that time flowed at half the speed within the first level compared to the outside world. Additionally, the tower was imbued with an endless, vast energy.
This energy, unlike any force within the Canghuang Sky, possessed an explosive power that transcended all others. Ye Wushuang named it… the Primal Force!
He even believed that if he were to wield this Primal Force as an Emperor, defeating the other nine Emperors would be effortless. During the million years he was sealed, Ye Wushuang constantly learned to control the Primal Force and attempted to break free from his confinement using it.
However, to unleash the Primal Force from within the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower and generate a powerful destructive force, a driving force was required. Through countless trials in the past, Ye Wushuang realized that the key to activating the Primal Force was one’s lifespan.
Each time he summoned the Primal Force from the tower, his lifespan would be reduced…
The more lifespan he consumed, the stronger the destructive power of the Primal Force became. The reason he was able to defeat Tian Yunyan and Liu Furong was precisely because he had activated the Primal Force within the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower.
Now, Ye Wushuang felt that at least twenty years of his lifespan had been drained. Generally, a warrior in the Body-Refining stage had a lifespan of about one hundred to one hundred and twenty years. Those in the Meridian-Condensing stage could live close to two hundred years. For those in the Spirit-Palace stage, their lifespan ranged from two hundred to five hundred years. And the mighty Sky-Embracing warriors could live beyond five hundred years, almost a thousand.
The loss of twenty years of lifespan was indeed a significant blow to Ye Wushuang at his current state. However, once he reached the Meridian-Condensing stage, his maximum lifespan would be close to two hundred years, and then the loss of twenty years would seem less significant.
But the problem was, his soul was intact, and his body had been restored with the help of Xia Lei. So why couldn’t he control his own body?
Ye Wushuang’s ethereal form wandered within the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower. The vast space of the first level, which he had studied for a million years, held no more secrets for him. Gradually, he approached the junction connecting the first and second levels of the tower.
Ascending the stairs, he encountered a seal, like an ancient and weathered character for “seal.” In the past, Ye Wushuang had tried every possible method to break this seal and enter the second level of the Ninefold Spirit-Taming Tower, but all attempts had failed. The tower was not a divine artifact from the Canghuang Sky; it was far too powerful and mysterious, even for Ye Wushuang, the peerless Emperor, to overcome.
But now, as Ye Wushuang gazed at the seal on the second level once more, he sensed that… the seal had changed!
