Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 571: Terrifying Chaos Body!

The Kun Peng shadow moved impossibly fast. As it neared, the crowd gasped—not Ye Chen himself transformed, but a true Kun Peng spirit pulling his bronze war chariot. The scene was staggering, like an ancient war god descending.

Lan Nuo's eyes widened, mentally noting to get one herself.

The Kun Peng shadow, heedless of the gathered prodigies, crashed into the central domain. The void shattered, shockwaves scattering countless prodigies and skyships.

Yao Yuekong's ship, hit hardest, cracked densely until his cold snort stabilized it. Ba Wang's red blood aura surged, anchoring him against the blast. Alkaid's light flowed, naturally deflecting the impact. Nearly all felt the shock, glaring at the Heavenly Emperor heir in the center with discontent.

Onlookers marveled—Ye Chen was too brazen, offending everyone at once. Most top prodigies were here.

Seated on his chariot, Ye Chen ignored their hostile stares. They were all here for him—offending them was irrelevant. Today, he'd claim the longevity medicine and teach these prodigies their place, silencing their Central Continent bluster.

"Sacred Body, I thought you wouldn't dare show!" Ba Wang spoke first. Ye Chen glanced at his red aura and burly frame, guessing his physique, but ignored him—calling out a Sacred Body had nothing to do with his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

Yao Yuekong, brimming with battle intent, purple demonic aura swirling, said, "I've awaited this fight for long…"

Ye Chen glanced, dismissing the demon lookalike.

Alkaid smiled. "It's been only half a year, yet you've broken through to mid-Unity. Such speed is astonishing."

Ye Chen spared him a look, ignoring him too—his character paled compared to Senior Brother. He'd pegged Alkaid as the Indestructible Heavenly Art's heir, hyping him in Central Continent to make him a target, still at it now. Ye Chen planned to crush him and gift his origin to the fiancée.

His arrogance chilled the trio, their auras flaring. Too cocky!

Nearby, Lan Nuo studied Ye Chen's overwhelming presence, wondering if she should speak. But his rudeness made her hesitate—being ignored would be humiliating. Better stay silent.

Yet, Ye Chen's gaze landed on her, a faint smile forming, nodding lightly in acknowledgment. The crowd noticed, puzzled by his different treatment of the Heavy Pupil prodigy. Was it camaraderie over shared Heavy Pupils? Or, knowing Ye Chen's rumors, was Lan Nuo simply too beautiful? His disruptive entrance and the Central Continent's unfamiliarity with his temperament kept onlookers silent.

Lan Nuo, confused but thrilled by his unique regard under all eyes, felt elated.

Lan Nuo considered a smiling nod to Ye Chen but, after hesitating, gave a cold one instead.

Ye Chen, unfazed, seemed in high spirits—and he was. Upon seeing Lan Nuo, his system chimed:

"New gift recipient detected…"

"Lan Nuo: 4,000x multiplier!"

The highest multiplier he'd ever seen. Central Continent's female prodigies were indeed exceptional. His Heavy Pupils vibrated, instantly identifying her—Central Continent's Heavy Pupil woman. He'd gained Heavy Pupil insights from a thunder tribulation, unused until now—perfect for her. But her aloof demeanor raised doubts about her gratitude. He'd observe her closely. If she was worthy, he'd gift her everything without hesitation.

Shifting his gaze, Ye Chen's expression flickered, unmasked.

Another system prompt:

"New gift recipient detected…"

"Yan Qingcheng…"

"7,000x multiplier!"

Seven thousand? No joke? The fiancée's Broad Cold Immortal Body was only 2,500x—Yan Qingcheng's was nearly triple. Absurd. With such a multiplier, a critical hit from a mere fruit might yield three immortal roots!

Her Yan surname and multiplier confirmed her identity: the true Heavenly Emperor heir, Chaos Body. Ye Chen hadn't expected to meet the Chaos Body while seeking longevity medicine. Its 7,000x multiplier exceeded his 5,000x estimate—a delightful surprise. Since her Chaos Body wasn't fully matured—only reaching peak potential at quasi-immortal—she might hit 10,000x then.

Ye Chen decided instantly: all gains would go to the Chaos Body to test her limits. Anything she didn't need, he'd gift to Lan Nuo. As for his minor spat with the Heavenly Emperor Hall?

Irrelevant. Cultivators should be magnanimous.

Glancing at the seemingly ordinary woman triggering the system, he knew her plain appearance was a disguise—7,000x was anything but ordinary. He didn't linger on her.

Yao Yuekong and Ba Wang, seething with battle intent, were ready to strike.

Ye Chen, indifferent, scanned them coolly. "The Cave Heaven's opening. I'm in a hurry. If you want to fight, come at me together. Saves time."

No posturing—since spotting the 7,000x Chaos Body, his gifting urge surged. He couldn't wait to seize the longevity medicine and offer it to her, eager to discover her ceiling.
