Lying in bed, Ye Wushuang had already awakened, but at this moment, he was utterly unable to move a single muscle.
His soul seemed to have been torn away from his body, leaving him without any control over his physical form. In sheer desperation, Ye Wushuang’s consciousness surged into the Ninefold Calming Tower.
This tower, which had once appeared within the Canghuang Sky, had caused a tremendous uproar. Countless top-tier powerhouses from within the Canghuang Sky had rushed forth, and even the ancient relics, who were nearing the end of their lifespans and had long been in slumber, had awakened one after another to join the fierce struggle for possession of the tower.
Ultimately, Ye Wushuang had obtained the tower, but at a great cost. His power as a Heavenly Emperor had been severely diminished, and he was jointly sealed by nine other Heavenly Emperors. During the million years of his confinement, Ye Wushuang continuously studied the tower and discovered a divine technique within its first level.
The Ninefold Immortal Technique!
It was this divine technique that allowed Ye Wushuang’s Heavenly Emperor’s Daoist origin-soul to split into nine parts, gradually breaking free from the seal. Now, reborn in this world, Ye Wushuang had already integrated the ninth part of his origin-soul. To return to his peak, he must fully merge the remaining eight parts.
The Ninefold Immortal Technique, which enabled the separation of his origin-soul, was only one of the secrets Ye Wushuang had uncovered within the Ninefold Calming Tower. Another secret was that time flowed at half the speed within the first level compared to the outside world. Additionally, the tower contained an endless expanse of desolate energy.
This desolate energy, unlike any force within the Canghuang Sky, possessed an explosive power that transcended all others. Ye Wushuang called it… the Primal Force!
He even believed that if he, as a Heavenly Emperor, could master this Primal Force, defeating the other nine Heavenly Emperors would be effortless. During his million years of confinement, Ye Wushuang had continuously learned to control the Primal Force and had attempted to break free from the seal using it.
However, to unleash the Primal Force from within the Ninefold Calming Tower and unleash its formidable destructive power required a driving force. Through countless experiments in the past, Ye Wushuang had realized that the Primal Force was activated by one’s lifespan.
Every time he activated the Primal Force from within the tower, his lifespan would decrease…
The more lifespan consumed, the stronger the destructive power of the Primal Force unleashed. The reason he had been able to annihilate Tian Yunyan and Liu Furong was precisely because he had activated the Primal Force within the Ninefold Calming Tower.
At present, Ye Wushuang felt that his lifespan had been reduced by at least twenty years. Generally, a physical-cultivating warrior’s lifespan was around one hundred to one hundred and twenty years. A meridian-condensing warrior’s lifespan was close to two hundred years. As for those in the Yuanfu realm, their lifespan ranged from two hundred to five hundred years. And for a Tengang realm powerhouse, their lifespan exceeded five hundred years, nearing a thousand.
The loss of twenty years of lifespan was indeed a significant blow to Ye Wushuang at the moment. However, once he reached the meridian-condensing realm, his lifespan would approach two hundred years, and then a loss of twenty years would seem less significant.
But the problem was, now, his soul was intact, and his physical body had been restored with the help of Xia Lei, yet he still couldn’t control his body. Why was that?
Ye Wushuang’s ethereal figure wandered within the Ninefold Calming Tower. The vast space of the first level, which he had studied for a million years, held no more secrets for him. Gradually, his steps led him to the junction connecting the first and second levels of the tower.
Ascending the staircase, there was 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 Calming Tower, but all attempts had failed. The tower was not a divine artifact from the Canghuang Sky; it was too powerful and mysterious, even for Ye Wushuang, the peerless Heavenly Emperor, to overcome.
Yet now, as Ye Wushuang gazed upon the seal of the second level once more, he felt that… the seal had changed!
