Ethan Brooks lay on the dust-covered ground, his whole body drenched in blood. Now, with all his bones shattered and his flesh torn, even the slightest movement was nearly impossible, and he secretly regretted his own carelessness.

This time, it was nothing but luck. But if he forced himself to operate again next time, he might truly be utterly destroyed by the Saint Law—this was no joke.

But now, things were troublesome. Covered in wounds, he could barely move.

For this, Ethan Brooks had no solution, because he was no longer who he was in his previous life. He could not instantly heal his injuries, and with his weak cultivation, he was unable to use the unparalleled divine abilities in his memory.

He could only hope to be discovered by others; otherwise, if this went on for long, it would be a real problem.

Buzz—

Suddenly, at the center of Ethan Brooks's brow, a mysterious crescent-shaped mark appeared, radiating a hazy glow that enveloped his entire body, and a mysterious power began to surge forth.

Crackle—

Visibly, the wounds on Ethan Brooks's body began to heal at an astonishing speed.

In less than a moment, the injuries that had left Ethan Brooks crippled from the fierce backlash of the Battle Saint Law were completely healed.

While Ethan Brooks was still in shock, a ball of light suddenly flew out from the moon-shaped mark, and as the light faded, a delicate, radiant little tower appeared, spinning nimbly before him.

“Trial participant detected, true throne holder Lucas Clark, eligible for the Human Emperor Trial.”

“Human Emperor Trial, do you wish to begin?”

Chapter 11: The Human Emperor Tower

“Trial participant detected, true throne holder Lucas Clark, eligible for the Human Emperor Trial.”

“Human Emperor Trial, do you wish to begin?”

A voice, devoid of joy or sorrow and completely emotionless, startled Ethan Brooks awake. He saw a mysterious little tower floating before him. Upon closer inspection, it was thirty-three stories tall, spinning nimbly and radiating a hazy, mystical light.

Lucas Clark was Ethan Brooks's name in his previous life. And the true throne was something he once possessed.

But the moment he saw this little tower, Ethan Brooks was shocked: “The Human King Tower!?”

That's right, it was the Human King Tower. Its owner was one of the most dazzling prodigies throughout the ages, known as the Human King.

The Human King once shook all domains, standing high above, one of the strongest beings in this world. With a single thought, he could shatter thousands of miles of mountains and rivers; with a flick of his finger, he could destroy an ancient kingdom.

His power was such that Ethan Brooks would absolutely believe he could destroy the entire vast Heavenly Capital Continent.

Because the Human King was just that powerful—a mighty figure with earth-shattering abilities, boundless might, and truly a legendary figure.

Unfortunately, in his pursuit of the supreme Dao and due to some mysterious matters, he ultimately fell.

However, the Human King's talent was unparalleled through the ages, and he left behind a legacy. After countless tribulations, Ethan Brooks in his previous life obtained it, and the ancient tower of the Human King also went through many twists and turns before ending up in Ethan Brooks's hands.

The Human King Tower was no ordinary ancient weapon—eternal and indestructible, it had once slain many great beings beyond imagination, stained with their blood.

Ethan Brooks had thought that after his rebirth, the Human King Tower was lost, but unexpectedly, it had always been following him. Yet, compared to the tower's appearance, what shocked him even more was the meaning of the voice from the little tower—the Human Emperor Trial!

Human Emperor, not Human King. Though only a single character apart, the difference between the two was as vast as heaven and earth.

If the Human King once shook all domains, standing at the pinnacle of his era, then the Human Emperor would remove the “one of” from that description—truly supreme and unmatched.

The word “Emperor” signifies ultimate supremacy, the most powerful existence in all the heavens and domains, before whom all must bow.

It is even said that if the Human Emperor wished, this vast world would shatter because of him, and all the heavens and domains would be annihilated.

Although the Human Emperor had not yet reached the mythic level of immortality, and every so often there would be a grand contest for the Human Emperor among all domains, one thing was certain: the Human Emperor was the true supreme of this world, ruling over the rise and fall of all domains, and no one could challenge his dignity.

Whether it was Ethan Brooks in his previous life, the Human King, or those peerless enemies who once besieged him, all were on the path to becoming the Human Emperor.

Now, with such a divine message coming from the Human King Tower, how could he not be shocked?

Could it be possible to become the Human Emperor through the Human King Tower?

Unconsciously, Ethan Brooks felt a surge of anticipation in his heart, his eyes shining brightly as he stared intently at the Human King Tower.

“Trial participant Ethan Brooks, Human Emperor Trial, do you wish to begin?”

The emotionless voice sounded again. Without a doubt, it was asking Ethan Brooks.

His intuition told him that if he wanted to rise in this life, the Human King Tower would be indispensable.

Ethan Brooks took a deep breath, then nodded heavily. “Yes!”

Swish—

A divine light shot out from the Human King Tower, instantly enveloping Ethan Brooks.

In the next moment, Ethan Brooks felt the world spinning. He had no idea how much time had passed, only that he found himself in a vast, boundless, mysterious space. All around was a gray mist, formed from condensed spiritual energy, and only within a ten-zhang radius before him was there clarity.
