Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 544: Iʼm the Fourth Holy Sonʼs Woman!

In a cave on an island in the Endless Sea, the Three Yin True Water finally condensed.

Su Yuxuan sensed her masterʼs excitement but didnʼt rush out. She waited half a day, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Feeling no disturbances, she cautiously approached the cave. But her face changed instantly. With a step of her dainty feet, she tried to flee. A grand array roared to life, sealing her escape.

Three figures appeared before her. Seeing the one on the right, Su Yuxuanʼs lips tightened. Her heart sank. The First Nether Son!

As expected, he was out to harm her. The other two she recognized—Holy Son and Holy Maiden of Heavenly Intention, seen in the widely circulated recording stones of her Senior Brotherʼs battles.

All three were Unity realm cultivators—two mid-stage, one early. Ying Tiansheng had once been a weakling before her Senior Brother, cut down in a single stroke. The First Nether Son had also fallen to him. But Su Yuxuan was not her Senior Brother. At the late Deity Transformation, she couldnʼt fight them.

Without hesitation, she shouted, ”Elder Lin, save me! The First Nether Son is a traitor, colluding with outsiders to kill me and ruin the Nether God Holy Landʼs foundation!”

But the First Nether Son smirked, looking skyward. Above, a battle raged—two figures besieged one, their auras overwhelming.

Su Yuxuanʼs lips tightened, her heart ice-cold.

Manjusakaʼs voice echoed coldly in her mind, laced with guilt. ”They came prepared. Break the array and flee to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.”

Her protector was under attack. This was her only chance to survive. Su Yuxuanʼs predicament was Manjusakaʼs fault—sheʼd needed the Three Yin True Water, so Su Yuxuan sought it out.

The information clearly came from the First Nether Sonʼs channels. Sheʼd wanted to find Ye Chen first. With him, these three would be no threat—maybe even cleaved apart. But it was too late for regrets. Manjusaka suddenly realized Ye Chenʼs importance.

”If thatʼs how it is, weʼll die together…”

Su Yuxuanʼs expression turned icy, resolute. A terrifying aura erupted, far beyond Deity Transformation, surpassing even the early Unity realm. As her aura surged, a dark glow bloomed at her brow, a crack opening. Endless nether energy poured out, deep and unfathomable, as if linked to the underworld, restraining a terrifying demon ready to break free. The crack widened. Blood trickled from her brow.

The First Nether Son frowned, stepping back. He also had the Nether God Body. If she unleashed it recklessly, aiming for mutual destruction by fully opening the channel, it could summon something horrifying. But the Nether God Body would be the first to perish from the backlash. Ying Tiansheng and Yi Qingwu, sensing her desperation, remained composed but retreated slightly.

Then, Su Yuxuan turned her head. A blood-red destructive beam shot from her eyes, blasting a gap in the array. Her bare feet moved, impossibly fast.

”She has a bloodline divine ability?” Ying Tiansheng remarked, eyebrow raised, sensing the destructive aura.

The First Nether Sonʼs gaze was cold. This was why he wanted her dead. Su Yuxuan not only had the Nether God Body but also a bloodline divine ability that synergized perfectly with it. Her heart amplified her innate divine abilityʼs power.

Multiple Supreme Elders in the Holy Land deemed her potential immense, possibly elevating the Nether God Body to new heights, even contending for the Immortal Path. Thus, she had to die. Otherwise, the resources to perfect the Nether God Body might not be his.

”Still trying to run…”

Ying Tianshengʼs eyes glinted with greed. His figure flickered through the void, several times faster than Su Yuxuan, blocking the gap in an instant. With a casual palm strike, countless petals swirled.

Su Yuxuanʼs face was icy and calm. Her Exquisite Heart pulsed, her eyes unleashing countless divine beams to shatter the petals. Her blood aura surged, blocking Ying Tianshengʼs strike. Yet, she was battered, blood seeping from her lips, her beauty tinged with tragedy.

”Yuxuan, Iʼll aid you. Find a chance to escape…”

Manjusakaʼs voice echoed in her mind. Though her body wasnʼt fully restored, her soul power had recovered significantly. Now, it bolstered Su Yuxuan, her aura exploding to mid-Unity realm levels.

Ying Tiansheng raised an eyebrow, fearless, his anticipation growing. This woman, with a Nether God Body and two bloodline divine abilities, had an immensely rich origin. Devouring her would surpass a dozen or twenty others. Exhilarating! He got serious, his aura fully unleashed.

Su Yuxuan was formidable, holding her own at first. But she soon fell behind. Only late Deity Transformation, even with her talent and Manjusakaʼs soul boost, she was outmatched.

Ying Tiansheng, having devoured countless origins, rivaled or surpassed a Nether God Body, wielding multiple Nine Secrets with ease. Su Yuxuan was no match. His Movement Secret left her no chance to flee.

In just a hundred breaths, a Myriad Transformations Holy Art struck her, nearly shattering her body, sending her flying. Ying Tiansheng descended arrogantly, his hand seizing her head, a terrifying force sealing her entirely. The Devouring Heaven Demon Art activated.

Su Yuxuan felt her origin being drained—not just her Nether God Body, but the Eye of Destruction and Exquisite Heart from her Senior Brother. She weakened rapidly, despair creeping in. Even if she survived, sheʼd be crippled.

Manjusaka surged within, ready to self-destruct to give Su Yuxuan a chance. She, too, was desperate—her body nearly restored, only to fall here. She refused to let Su Yuxuan die.

But Su Yuxuan stopped her. ”Master, with his Movement Secret, I canʼt escape. Master, you must live. Go to Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and tell him! Senior Brother will avenge me. If he knows I died from my origin being drained, heʼll make these three suffer a thousand times worse… After all, Senior Brotherʼs no saint!”

As her origin drained faster and death loomed, Su Yuxuan reflected. Her life changed after meeting Senior Brother, smooth sailing since. Regretfully, she wouldnʼt see him one last time. The extreme cold of her left foot, the extreme heat of her right—practiced for him—would go unused. Heʼd be sad if she died, right? But maybe it was better this way. With his many women, she might be forgotten alive. Dead, heʼd remember her forever.

Gazing at the First Nether Sonʼs smug smile, the gleeful Holy Son, and the cold, feigned-indifferent Holy Maiden, Su Yuxuanʼs lips curled into a sneer. ”Iʼm Ye Chenʼs woman, the Fourth Holy Son. You know how he treats his women. So, get ready to die, one by one!”

She hadnʼt said it earlier—her Senior Brother was Ying Tianshengʼs sworn enemy; it wouldʼve only enraged them. But now, with no hope left, she could speak. Her words left all three wide-eyed.
