Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 553: Ye Chen Loves Me Most!

Facing Ying Tiansheng, desperate to survive, Ye Chenʼs Heavy Pupil unleashed a beam of destructive divine light. With his cultivationʼs rise, the Heavy Pupil and Primordial Supreme Heartʼs power grew.

Bloodline Divine Abilities were terrifying for their growth potential. The beam shattered half Ying Tianshengʼs body again. Ye Chen strode forward, unleashing a barrage of lethal techniques to cripple him completely.

…

Above, Feng Baiyu and Elder Mo, no longer watching the Nether God elders pummel Heavenly Intention, looked down at the battlefield, shocked. Ye Chen having a small world wasnʼt too surprising. Given his ties to the Heavenly Emperor, who shattered countless realms, hiding a few space fragments was expected. But what was in that small world?

A Mahayana cultivator entered, and in under twenty breaths, his soul was gone, his body half-destroyed, dragged out like a dead dog. A supreme killing array? Or the Heavenly Emperorʼs divine will hidden inside?

Seeing Ye Chenʼs dominant domain and absurd Domain Divine Ability, their eyes widened further. Ye Chen seemed truly invincible. Even the Central Continentʼs famed prodigies might not match him.

Feng Baiyu now suspected Ye Chen was the Heavenly Emperor reincarnated. How else could his heavenly tribulation end so quickly? Who could dominate the Emperor at the same realm?

If Ye Chen was his reincarnation, it made sense—he wouldnʼt beat himself. But watching Ye Chen prepare to cripple Ying Tiansheng, they turned away, casting a spell to shield the battlefield.

Stealing someoneʼs fiancée and crippling them was a bit too demonic. Best keep it quiet, or Heavenly Evolution Holy Landʼs reputation would suffer. This made Feng Baiyu doubt his theory.

The Heavenly Emperor was a perennial bachelor, once capturing a slew of holy daughters but only auctioning them off to extort holy lands. Ye Chen, though? If he caught those holy daughters, theyʼd likely return with kids in a few years. Could the Emperor, repressed in his past life, have changed so drastically?

…

Ying Tiansheng, having devoured nearly a hundred prodigies, could hold his own in Central Continent. Stronger than the First Nether Son, he was still utterly crushed by Ye Chen, powerless to resist.

Ye Chen raised a hand, effortlessly destroying his sea of consciousness, dantian, and domain, then sealed him with the True Dragon Treasure Techniqueʼs Binding Dragon Art.

Yi Qingwu watched, her expression neither joyful nor sad. Though vengeance was near, she felt sorrow for her fatherʼs unworthy death. Ignoring Ying Tianshengʼs despairing gaze, she took Ye Chenʼs hand, looking down at him. ”Ye Chen, youʼll give him to me, right?”

Ye Chen met her stunning gaze. ”Sure you want to devour him? Final decision?”

She nodded. Making Ying Tiansheng suffer her fatherʼs pain was her obsession. Ye Chen didnʼt persuade further, shaking his head. ”Iʼll give him to you, but not now.”

Yi Qingwu narrowed her phoenix-like eyes, staring at Ye Chen. ”Youʼre letting that barefoot woman devour him first, then giving me her scraps?”

She was still irked by Manjusakaʼs earlier request, unable to accept secondhand origins. It wasnʼt about quality—it was about status. That barefoot woman sharing the same immortal root was her luck, meeting Ye Chen early. But Ying Tiansheng? She had to devour him herself. She gazed at Ye Chen earnestly.

Ye Chen, understanding the fiancéeʼs—no, soon-to-be widowʼs—pride, smiled and shook his head. ”Ying Tiansheng killed your father. Of course, Iʼll give him to you for revenge. But the Devouring Heaven Demon Art has a backdoor, making you a target for harvesting, becoming fodder. Itʼs impure, against heavenʼs harmony, and brings late-life calamity. Iʼll teach you a new technique, free of flaws…”

He touched her smooth, jade-like brow. As he did, Yi Qingwu felt the symbol tremble, her face flushing. But her eyes soon widened. The Indestructible Heavenly Art, a superior technique to the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, allowing safe harvesting of its practitioners, free of risks, leading to an Acquired Chaos Body.

She felt a chill. If sheʼd used the Devouring Heaven Demon Art unknowingly, sheʼd have been targeted. But Ye Chen had its superior art? Safe harvesting, no risks, straight to a supreme physique. The scriptureʼs value was unimaginable, yet he gave it to her without hesitation. She realized her place in his heart. That barefoot woman couldnʼt compare. Smiling radiantly, she kissed Ye Chenʼs face, noticing Ying Tiansheng watching.

”How long to master it?” Ye Chen asked.

Sensing the scripture, her long lashes fluttered. ”About two weeks.”

Ye Chen nodded, satisfied. ”Fairy Yiʼs talent is stunning!”

The half-hearted praise made her giggle, rolling her eyes. She sat cross-legged, beginning to cultivate the Indestructible Heavenly Art, trusting Ye Chenʼs protection. He smiled, deliberately withholding the insights to slow her progress, ensuring a time gap.

Ignoring Ying Tiansheng, Ye Chen stepped into his array where Manjusaka, controlling Su Yuxuanʼs body, was cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

He roused her. Under her puzzled gaze, he said calmly, ”The Devouring Heaven Demon Art has flaws. Ying Tianshengʼs protector fell, and I gained the Indestructible Heavenly Art and its insights… Iʼll share them with you, Senior. Switch to this technique.”

Manjusakaʼs eyes widened. Her soul emerged, enduring her aversion to men as Ye Chenʼs touch transmitted the art and insights. Amid discomfort, her soul quivered. Gazing at Ye Chen, her expression grew complex. He wasnʼt a good man—womanizing, manipulative—but he shared such a supreme scripture instantly, proving his genuine care for Yuxuan. Sheʼd worried he favored that haughty woman. Now, she saw sheʼd overthought. Ye Chen loved Yuxuan most.

”How long to start?” Ye Chen asked.

Grasping the insights, Manjusaka replied, ”One week.”

Ye Chenʼs smile widened. The time gap was set. She assumed his joy was for saving Yuxuan soon, her view of him softening deeply.
