ISWI Chapter 570-571

Chapter 570: Last to Arrive, Highest Prestige!

A woman stood at the ship's helm, her cyan dress accentuating her graceful curves. Her oval face, soft yet regal, paired with flawless features, resembled an immortal descended. Yet her aura was strikingly aloof, adding a layer of contrast. Arriving, she calmly scanned the crowd, her gaze intimidating.

Alkaid Holy Son smiled. "Greetings, Fairy Lan!"

The Heavenly Demon Body, Yao Yuekong, remained still.

Lan Nuo's ship stopped at the center, a testament to her status—prodigies, too, were ranked.

Soon, someone recognized her: "Lan Family's Lan Nuo, this generation's Heavy Pupil!"

Rarely seen in public, her true visage awed all, her Heavy Pupils' gaze making them feel exposed, secrets laid bare. Its legendary might inspired fear.

Her arrival sparked thoughts of Great Yan's top prodigy, Ye Chen, the Heavenly Emperor heir. If Lan Nuo's single Heavy Pupil was this formidable, what of Ye Chen with Heavy Pupils, Primordial Supreme Heart, and a Sacred Body? How strong was he? Curiosity surged—would he come?

A piercing roar followed. A terrifying figure arrived, riding a True Phoenix divine form, shrouded in an endless red blood aura. His mountainous, steel-forged physique and eight orbiting beastly divine shapes stunned all. Red blood aura, invincible body, divine shapes—only one physique fit: Firmament Overlord Body.

The newly emerged Firmament Overlord Body had arrived. His electric gaze, predatory and fierce, ignored lesser prodigies, lingering briefly on Alkaid and Lan Nuo before locking onto Yao Yuekong, brimming with battle intent. "I've heard the Heavenly Demon Body's physique is formidable!"

Purple mist parted, revealing Yao Yuekong's towering, three-meter human-like form, his piercing purple eyes unyielding. "Try me!"

The Firmament Overlord Body's lips curled, his red blood aura surging, as if ready to strike. But he restrained himself. "Compared to you, I'd rather kill a Sacred Body! My clan's killed so many, we created a technique requiring fresh Sacred Body blood to refine!"

His words shook the crowd. The Ancient Desolation Sacred Body was lofty, yet the Firmament Overlord Body clan crafted a technique needing its blood, revealing deep hatred. Understandable—the Heavenly Emperor once slaughtered their clan. Thus, their descendants sought vengeance on his heirs, often to their own humiliation.

But this generation's Firmament Overlord Body, named Ba Wang, was said to be the strongest ever, with bloodline nearing their ancestor's, terrifyingly potent. His bold challenge to Ye Chen stunned all.

Lan Nuo, standing at her ship's helm, silently noted his words.

Some resented the Firmament Overlord Body. A figure approached, sneering, "Your clan played lapdog to the Myriad Races, crushed by the Heavenly Emperor, scurrying like rats. Now you dare act bold?"

The crowd gasped, recognizing the newcomer—a top-tier prodigy with the Brahma Battle Body, a physique built for combat, growing stronger in battle.

Ba Wang glanced, dismissing him. "Trash!"

Infuriated, the Brahma Battle Body roared, "No need for the Heavenly Emperor heir—I'll kill you!"

His fierce battle intent surged, unleashing an ancient battlefield-like domain, thrusting a golden divine spear toward Ba Wang, as if piercing the heavens. Ba Wang didn't flinch.

As the spear neared, he turned, roaring with earth-shaking force. The sound solidified into a starry river, shattering the spear inch by inch, dissolving the domain, and nearly obliterating the Brahma Battle Body. The prodigy retreated dozens of miles, eyes filled with lingering fear. Ba Wang calmly turned away, not sparing a glance.

The crowd exclaimed—everyone knew the Firmament Overlord Body was strong, but not this strong. The Brahma Battle Body, a formidable physique, couldn't withstand a single blow in the same realm.

Alkaid Holy Son smiled calmly. Yao Yuekong's eyes gleamed brighter. Lan Nuo, outwardly cold, mentally noted Ba Wang's display: ignoring provocation, crushing the foe in one strike, letting them flee without pursuit.

More prodigies arrived: Star River King Body, Solar Body, Feathered Divine Body…

Though varying in strength, each was dazzling, capable of dominating an era. Yet, in this golden age, many paled. Only seven stood at the center. The spectacle thrilled onlookers, but they craved more—the heavyweight hadn't arrived. A vortex rose from the sea, signaling the Cave Heaven's imminent opening. The longevity medicine's silhouette was faintly visible.

Ba Wang frowned. "Why hasn't the Heavenly Emperor heir come?"

Yao Yuekong snorted. "I issued a challenge. This place is just a million miles from Great Yan. Does he not dare step out?"

Alkaid, also puzzled, smiled. "The Black Tortoise Undying Herb was transplanted by the Emperor, supposedly failing. But perhaps Ye Chen holds it, making the longevity medicine beneath him."

His words drew countless gazes, even stirring the protectors above. Onlookers and prodigies debated Ye Chen's absence—was he avoiding a siege or truly possessing an immortal root?

As the vortex grew, the Cave Heaven's entrance neared, and most assumed Ye Chen wouldn't come. Then, a Kun Peng shadow roared from the sky, capturing all eyes. Anticipation surged—only the Heavenly Emperor heir could wield the Kun Peng Treasure Technique so masterfully.

"The Heavenly Emperor heir is here!"

Those expecting to miss his splendor cheered in joy. Lan Nuo nodded inwardly, noting: at a prodigy gathering, arrive last, letting all await you, for maximum prestige…

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.
