Chapter 665: Lightning Element Immunity, Ye Chen Shi Stunned

Ye Chen Shi was surrounded by smoke, his clothes torn all over, looking as if he had just endured a fierce battle.

Only Ye Chen Shi's aged face remained unscathed, especially his long beard, which was not messy.

Jiang Chen thought it somewhat amusing; it seemed this senior Ye Chen Shi really cared about his appearance.

Clothes can be changed, but a beard takes time to grow; he truly knows what to prioritize.

Li Xueru whispered, "Senior Ye Chen Shi was a handsome man in his youth."

Jiang Chen gave a slight nod; it was indeed so.

Ye Chen Shi tossed his tattered outerwear, put on a clean, tidy new outfit, and his entire aura shifted.

No longer disheveled, he now looked formidable.

Ye Chen Shi's gaze fell on Li Xueru, he blinked slightly, then smiled, "Xiao Li, why did you come over?"

When there was no conflict, both sides remained fairly courteous and friendly.

Li Xueru laughed, "I came to see the senior, then bring Xiao Chen to handle something."

Jiang Chen followed Li Xueru's words, bowed a fist to Ye Chen Shi, and said, "Jiang Chen has seen senior Ye."

After all, he is an elder; the seniority is there, and he indeed contributed to the Human Race, so Jiang Chen naturally was courteous to him.

Ye Chen Shi saw the Five-Star Divine General Badge on Jiang Chen's shoulder, his pupils narrowed sharply, "The youngster is formidable."

Jiang Chen said modestly, "Senior, you flatter me; the junior still has a long way to go."

Ye Chen Shi chuckled, pointed at the Demon-Slaying Tower, "Go then, perhaps you'll succeed. It would spare me from seeing that creature every day, yearning and drooling without ever obtaining it."

Li Xueru gestured to Jiang Chen, "Go, give it a try."

Jiang Chen nodded and flew toward the Demon-Slaying Tower.

Ye Chen Shi let out a long sigh, looking at Jiang Chen and at the Demon-Slaying Tower.

If he still can't guess what Jiang Chen intends to do, then most of his life would have been wasted.

The Five-Star Divine General not only signifies rank but also power.

He wouldn't think Jiang Chen's Five-Star Divine General has any dilution.

Moreover, he had seen Jiang Chen's performance in the Divine Stone Instance before, and he deeply understood Jiang Chen as a person.

Indeed, Jiang Chen is a terrifying genius.

In a thousand years of Human Race history, such a talent has never been seen.

Jiang Chen's actual combat power cannot be measured by his own level.

Ye Chen Shi said to Li Xueru, "You've taken a fine disciple."

Li Xueru openly admitted, "Lao Hong is lucky, but Xiao Chen is truly ambitious."

"He's really too ambitious," Ye Chen Shi said enviously; with such a disciple, who could not be envious.

Li Xueru asked, "Senior Ye, do you think Xiao Chen can succeed?"

Ye Chen Shi thought for a moment, "Even if this time fails, the Tower can still succeed. If even he cannot, the Demon-Slaying Tower will likely never have an owner again."

Li Xueru nodded, "I think the same; the Demon-Slaying Tower has been ownerless for hundreds of years, and even if it stands here, its effect is extremely limited."

Ye Chen Shi nodded, "The past few hundred years have been peaceful; demons have not launched large invasions, and we are much more comfortable here."

Li Xueru smiled, "That's because the Human Race is getting stronger, but now the Dragon Race is returning, which may introduce variables."

"Three-way Stalemate may make things even more peaceful," Ye Chen Shi offered another possibility.

The Dragon Race's return is still soon; everything remains an unknown.

Human Race strength is growing, yet for now it only suffices for self‑preservation; a counter‑offensive is still impossible.

We can only watch calmly.

"It's about to start!"

Wang Lin let out a low shout, and several people turned to Jiang Chen; Jiang Chen was about to enter the Demon-Slaying Tower's sphere of influence.

Sharp auras like swords and blades were sensed the moment Jiang Chen entered.

These auras contained Electric Element and were also mixed with some Wind Element.

The two elements fused, forming a keen attack.

The attack's power tier was extremely high, approaching Divine Level.

Even a level‑95 Ye Chen Shi would have to contend with it.

While they speculated how Jiang Chen would respond, Jiang Chen ignored them and walked straight in.

Countless attacks fell on him like a mud ox into the sea, feeling nothing.

Jiang Chen knew Bone Armor was useless, lasting only seconds, so he didn't bother using it.

Such attacks were not even on Jiang Chen's radar.

"From Ye Chen Shi's aura just now, he changed direction several times,"

"At this level, with his strength, he needn't change direction at all."

"There must be a stronger attack coming; he didn't want to block it, so he dodged."

"He changed direction four times, indicating four attacks."

"The Demon-Slaying Tower's attack range is 500 meters, so one attack every hundred meters, four in total."

Jiang Chen appeared relaxed, yet he did not let his guard down.

He analyzed the lingering aura Ye Chen Shi left and formed his own judgment.

Jiang Chen didn't know if his judgment was correct, but it was likely right, and he was confident in it.

When he reached the hundred‑meter mark, Jiang Chen focused completely, his soul force flowing slowly, staying alert.

Boom!

A bolt of Lightning burst forth from the Tower with a roar.

The lightning turned into a great blade, slashing straight at Jiang Chen.

Lightning great blade, Electric Element.

Jiang Chen felt the strong Electric Element within it.

"It's three or four points similar to the Divine Punishing Thunder, indeed modeled after the Ancient Thunder Tower."

"It truly reaches Divine Level, roughly around Level 91, which is pretty good."

"When uncontrolled, it can unleash this level of attack; truly the top offense among the three towers."

"If someone controls it, it could probably reach mid‑Divine Level power, hitting the limit of Mythic‑level Equipment."

Jiang Chen's thoughts raced like electricity, instantly analyzing many things.

If it were a different attack, Jiang Chen might symbolically dodge.

But this is an Electric Element attack, and Jiang Chen is too lazy to bother; he neither flashes nor dodges.

Wang Lin and the others were incredulous, "He doesn't dodge!"

Ye Chen Shi also stared, "Young man, that's a bit arrogant."

Li Xueru laughed, "Don't worry, Xiao Chen has his limits."

He couldn't possibly say that Jiang Chen is immune to the Electric Element.

Attacking Jiang Chen with the Electric Element is like throwing a meat bun at a dog— not only ineffective, but also feeding the dog.

He knows Jiang Chen's temperament too well; he never fights without certainty. Since Jiang Chen doesn't dodge, there must be something he relies on.

The lightning great blade struck Jiang Chen squarely, accompanied by a roar.

The blade entered like a mud ox into the sea, raising not a ripple.

Jiang Chen kept moving, ignoring the attack, marching forward faster and faster.

This scene once again shocked everyone.

Wang Lin couldn't believe it; even Ye Chen Shi would have dodged, yet Jiang Chen ignored it.

It's not a block; it's true disregard.

He never made any resisting move.

Ye Chen Shi was equally shocked, "What's going on?"

Li Xueru said, "I'm not really clear on Xiao Chen's actual combat power; he always has his own methods, I suppose."

He offers no explanation; this is Jiang Chen's secret from the start.

Ye Chen Shi also knew he shouldn't ask, gave a wry smile, and said no more.

Jiang Chen thought to himself, "If the next attacks are also Electric Element, it won't matter."

"Since it's modeled after the Ancient Thunder Tower, does the tower also have a core inside?"

"And the trials inside the tower are probably also Electric Element."

"If that's the case, it's a sure thing."

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched upward, his eyes carrying a faint smile.

The second attack arrived swiftly, still a lightning‑converted blade, its power a few points stronger than before, reaching the peak of Level 91.

Jiang Chen still neither flashed nor dodged, his speed increasing again.

In the blink of an eye, the third and fourth attacks came in succession, both already at Level 92, yet still useless.

When Jiang Chen reached the entrance of the Demon-Slaying Tower, the tower gate opened automatically, as if welcoming its master inside.

The tower stands 30 meters tall, appearing from the outside to have five levels.

Inside, there are no stairs nor any spatial divisions.

Just raise one's head and you're at the top.

At the tower's summit, a core‑like thunder sphere glitters, with electric snakes coiling and fluttering around it.

Jiang Chen knows clearly that once he reaches the core's position and communicates with it to imprint a Soul Mark, he can become the master of the Demon-Slaying Tower.

The difficulty lies in how to get up.

Masses of pressure descend from the sky, bearing down on the body.

For any Divine-level Strongman, these pressures are nothing; there must be something harder.

"It won't be a lightning strike, will it? If it is, I won't hold back."

Jiang Chen let out a light laugh and flew straight toward the core.

Boom!

The whole tower erupted, countless bolts of lightning striking down.
