Immortality Starts With Investment

Not just Ye Chen—everyone felt the anomaly. The Cave Heaven trembled as twelve shadowy figures, each radiating peak-Unity aura, appeared at the twelve celestial positions. Instantly, they converged at the center, merging into a single illusory shadow. Its presence exuded bloodline suppression, shocking all.

Knowledgeable prodigies gasped, ”The Twelve Heavenly Divine Fiends Array—one of the world’s top killing formations! With twelve souls of the same realm, it summons a fiend soul one realm higher. Its limit is boundless—even quasi-immortal fiends can be summoned. This fiend’s combat power rivals top prodigies. This shadow could slaughter everyone here alone. Who set this array? Is the longevity medicine a trap?”

Prodigies, no fools, grew uneasy, suspecting a plot. A Mahayana fiend with top-prodigy prowess was despair-inducing, far beyond prior realms.

Alkaid fled in panic. The fiend shadow descended, casually targeting Ye Chen. A Mahayana’s casual strike could erase millions—terrifying. All believed Ye Chen, however strong, was doomed. Some rejoiced, others lamented.

Yan Qingcheng, eyes blazing with battle intent, prepared to unleash her Chaos Body. She’d planned to repay Ye Chen with the longevity medicine, but he didn’t need it. Now, an opportunity arose—she’d fight to test her limits. But her emerging chaos qi retracted. At the battlefield’s center, before the fiend’s attack landed, Ye Chen’s aura surged again. Instead of dodging or defending, he charged the Mahayana fiend head-on.

Their clash unleashed blinding divine light, a pure land forming, obscuring the battlefield from sight and probes. Terrifying fluctuations shook hearts. Most shocking was Ye Chen’s further-rising aura. He still had reserves? Too monstrous.

Ba Wang and others were stunned, despairing—utterly unbeatable. Yet, they trusted the Mahayana fiend’s power. No matter how heaven-defying a Unity cultivator, defeat was certain.

Relieved Ye Chen would fall, they warily eyed each other. The array wasn’t natural—someone aimed to wipe them all out. Ba Wang hastened his flesh regeneration. Alkaid, hiding afar, looked shocked yet relieved, speeding his recovery. The Cave Heaven fell silent, awaiting Ye Chen’s demise.

Yan Qingcheng watched closely. Her Chaos Body’s divine perception faintly sensed the events within the pure land. Ready to save Ye Chen, she soon fell silent. He didn’t need her help. More shockingly, even she might not be his match. This left Yan Qingcheng, who felt guilty and wanted to repay him while secretly holding herself above, bewildered.

Boom…

Roars echoed in the pure land. After a hundred breaths, a deafening blast silenced all. The pure land vanished, and all looked skyward, expecting Ye Chen’s fall. But as the divine light faded, a figure in a yin-yang fish robe with golden threads descended.

Eyes widened—Ye Chen survived a Mahayana fiend? Impossible! Did he possess Mahayana-level combat power? All fight drained from the crowd; none pondered the array’s origin. Ye Chen filled their vision.

He calmly glanced at the Cave Heaven’s edge. Alkaid, half his body illusory, was fleeing. He’d sensed Ye Chen’s victory over the fiend and started escaping early. Killing intent flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. He’d planned to use the Fusang Divine Tree against the fiend, but since it couldn’t enter his small world, he fought it directly. Despite its prodigy-level Mahayana power, it lacked a true cultivator’s endless vitality and versatility, relying solely on the array. In a hundred breaths, Ye Chen shattered it.

Seeing Alkaid flee, Ye Chen unleashed immortal light from his chest. A terrifying Hand of Heaven, blazing with tribulation light, shot out. Alkaid’s face twisted, speeding up, but the Hand was too fast, obliterating half his body.

Ye Chen frowned—Alkaid’s early escape let part of him survive. No matter. Confirming Alkaid as the Indestructible Heavenly Art’s heir, others might fear his devouring potential, but Ye Chen didn’t—a mere acquired Chaos Body was no threat. Next time, he’d kill him instantly.

Turning to Ba Wang and Yao Yuekong, Ye Chen saw their despair. Having witnessed him defeat a Mahayana fiend, their fighting spirit collapsed. Top prodigies aimed for immortality with invincible wills, but Ye Chen’s strength made it a pipe dream.

Ye Chen didn’t bother speaking. His Primordial Supreme Heart surged, divine light flashing from his chest. The Hand of Heaven, like divine punishment, struck. Despite their resistance, when Ye Chen chose to end the fight, it ended.
