Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 610: Their Audacity Was Astounding!

"What happened?"

Vague hints filled the messages about Central Continent geniuses striking at Ye Chen's allies, yet specifics stayed elusive. With his Senior Brother's pair of avatars shattered and his master under assault, the crisis loomed far larger than he had imagined.

Feng Baiyu shot a glance toward Ye Chen, his voice somber. "We held back details in the messages, afraid you might be deep in a vital cultivation phase. To sum it up, your vanishing act birthed rumors of cultivation troubles. The Immortal Path's launch offers peak opportunities for swift breakthroughs—no genius would skip such a chance. Your absence ignited wild guesses. Still, it failed to ease their minds. Your prior might painted you as a major danger. Desperate to draw you out, they hit your loved ones, aiming to derail your return and wipe you out.

"They sealed the Immortal Path's gateway, blocking your companions. Your master, standing at Unity's pinnacle, whipped out her sword and slew a handful of obstructors. Yet a Mahayana genius sought to seize her. She fought back fiercely for some time, until the Star River Clan's fresh Divine Son joined in, almost crushing her. Your Senior Brother rushed to her aid, but fell under siege from numerous Mahayana powerhouses, forfeiting one avatar. The second avatar perished soon after at the Alkaid Holy Son's hands. That's the full picture. Your women got shut out from the Immortal Path, while Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and even Heavenly Desire Sect endured heavy pressure."

Ye Chen's eyes sharpened into slits. Daring to strike his master? Their boldness knew no bounds.

Alkaid and the Star River King Body…

Perplexed, he inquired, "The Star River Clan boasts a new Divine Son?"

Feng Baiyu gave a nod. "Indeed, the third in line, said to surpass the original in power. He had already hit Mahayana prior to the Immortal Path's debut. Folks find it strange—his prowess implies the first Divine Son never should've been. Inside the Immortal Path, he seized massive luck, ascending to Second Heaven Holy Master status."

Cold frost gathered in Ye Chen's stare. Alkaid could bide his time, but this Star River Divine Son cried out for a swift downfall.

"Since they're so eager to drag me into the open, I'll grace them with a visit. Alkaid can linger, but where hides this Divine Son? I'll dispatch him straight to join his forebears."

Feng Baiyu arched a brow. Gaps between Mahayana stages, small in label, yawned like abysses. Each heavenly rank marked that divide. Yet, remembering how Ye Chen possibly triumphed over the Heavenly Emperor during his tribulation, he held his tongue, merely noting, "That's precisely what I came to talk about. One month back, the Star River Clan floated a marriage pact to Heavenly Intention Holy Land. Riding their Divine Son's surging renown and Heavenly Intention's frailty, they hunted a sturdy partner. The proposed bride was the Holy Master's daughter there, but the Divine Son fixated on Yi Qingwu. She turned him down flat, yet he won't quit, set to arrive in a week bearing gifts—a Law Qi from the Immortal Path packing 102 laws, plus a Star River Divine Pill to refine Immortal Platform purity."

Ye Chen's restraint snapped. This third-gen Divine Son barreled headlong into disaster. First assaulting his master, now chasing Yi Qingwu? Was he clueless that she was Ye Chen's betrothed?

"How perfect," Ye Chen murmured, standing up deliberately. With the Divine Son marching right to him, words were pointless. Sending him to reunite with ancestors fell squarely under Ye Chen's purview.

Feng Baiyu's brows knit. "This reeks of a trap for you. All know your fierce attachment to Yi Qingwu, how fury drove you to slay her old fiancé. The Star River Divine Son shows little interest in women usually, so his push for Yi Qingwu screams provocation.

"I figure a horde of geniuses lurks in wait. The Immortal Path's start has honed them and showered fortunes since. You've just broken seclusion—better stay put, I urge."

Ye Chen burst into laughter. Skipping the Immortal Path's debut meant zilch to him.

"Provided the ancient beasts keep away, I'll slaughter the lot," he vowed with iron resolve.

Sensing Ye Chen's unshakeable assurance, Feng Baiyu cracked a fierce smile. "Then let's throw down. The Star River Clan's nerve to harass our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and bar our folks from the Immortal Path seals their doom."

"I quietly offed one of their Mahayana experts in the Endless Sea not long ago, but that barely scratched the itch. This time, we gear up right. Rest easy—I'll call in some ancestors to block any meddlers during your clash."

Ye Chen dipped his head, relying on the Holy Master's setup. The Star River King Body didn't faze him much. This Divine Son struck him as suspicious. By rights, later heirs should lag behind, but this one eclipsed the pioneer.

Ye Chen harbored doubts that he'd mastered the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to inflate his gifts, a tip from the slain Nether God Holy Land elder who'd spilled on the devouring lineage's ties spanning holy lands.

Should this third Divine Son wield that forbidden technique, the Alkaid Holy Son probably pulled strings. This wedding ploy to Heavenly Intention Holy Land, baiting Ye Chen's emergence, could lure Alkaid as well—maybe skulking nearby. Ideal moment to crush them in one sweep.

Those betrothal treasures from the Divine Son? Prime handouts for his fiancée. He'd hand them to Yi Qingwu before rushing to his master's side.
