Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 650: The Fall of the Overlord
Previously on Immortality Starts With Investment...
Unbeknownst to Ye Chen were Luo Bingling's intricate machinations. His imposing chariot advanced with the speed of lightning, its approach uncloaked and easily detectable. Piercing gazes, sharp as thunderbolts, fixed upon the Heavenly Emperor's heir as they neared a colossal divine peak. The summit emanated the aura of an ancient relic, an opening that demanded the intent of a supreme sword cultivator.
Numerous sword cultivators had gathered, yet the relic remained stubbornly sealed. Elite prodigies stood guard, their vigilance focused on the awaited arrival of the Heavenly Emperor's heir. Upon the peak itself, twelve formidable figures stood, each radiating a terrifying presence. Some were accompanied by spectral visions, others' eyes blazed with divine luminescence, and a few seemed to float with the detached grace of exiled immortals.
Onlookers, ever hopeful for an opportunity, observed from the mountainside below.
"A broken hound from Alkaid. Once I dispatch the Heavenly Emperor's heir, you're next!" Ba Wang bellowed, his eyes snapping open as a surge of purple Qi erupted around him. He cast a disdainful glance at Yao Yuekong before launching his attack.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Ba Wang refused to wait; his intention was to annihilate Ye Chen en route. Yao Yuekong, completely unfazed by the provocation, responded with measured calm, "You have yet to face Alkaid. Should you ever encounter them, your defeat would be assured."
Ba Wang responded with a dismissive snort, choosing to ignore the words. His dark hair whipped around him as his full power was unleashed. Like a celestial spear, he hurtled towards the chariot. The very fabric of the void warped in his wake, mountains fractured – a harbinger of destruction. No force seemed capable of impeding his charge.
"Ba Wang has grown even more formidable!"
"Whispers tell of him slaying an ancient primordial relic along the Immortal Path, absorbing its essence and spirit into his divine forms. This propelled his nine to ten forms, a secret technique honed by the Overlord Body lineage after their original defeat by the Heavenly Emperor, now perfected in his era."
"His Overlord Fist is a terror. Not long ago, he obliterated a Third Heaven's physical body in the vast expanse of the starry depths, though he spared the life. Nevertheless, it speaks volumes of his might!"
"He is acclaimed as the strongest Firmament Overlord Body to ever exist, now confronting the most powerful Holy Body since the age of the Heavenly Emperor. A confrontation destined to shake the heavens and earth!"
The spectators murmured in awe, their eyes wide with anticipation for the impending clash.
Ba Wang's gaze locked onto Ye Chen, his eyes burning with lethal intent.

"Ye Chen, my patience has been long tested. After my previous defeat, I dedicated myself to relentless training. With my ten divine forms and mastery of half the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, my Overlord Fist now eclipses all its predecessors. Today, your very blood will eradicate the shame I carry!"
His voice resonated with thunderous power, majestic, imposing, and utterly absolute. Ten divine forms swirled around his god-like physique. He unleashed a punch towards Ye Chen. The strike was apocalyptic, akin to a blazing sun casting all into subservience.
The very space fractured, the ground convulsed, and the stars within the second realm's daylight shimmered precariously. An utterly cataclysmic scene unfolded.
Fear intensified among the onlookers. Ba Wang's sheer power was overwhelming. Their attention shifted to Ye Chen, seated within the chariot, expecting a valiant defense.
Beside him, Luo Bingling felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Ba Wang and instinctively tensed. Even she acknowledged the immense challenge; defeating him would require her utmost effort. She braced herself for Ye Chen to disengage from her embrace and meet the attack. Her plan was to observe, intervening only if others joined the fray against him. Her heart pounded with excitement; she reveled in combat, particularly against formidable prodigies.
The subsequent moment brought a look of utter disbelief to Luo Bingling's face.
Facing Ba Wang's world-ending assault, an attack seemingly poised to annihilate both man and chariot, Ye Chen's composure remained utterly unbroken. His right hand, gently tracing the curve of her waist, did not falter, continuing its previous motion.
He simply tilted his head upwards, a sneer gracing his lips, "Even a mere speck like you dares to bask in such brilliance?"
Before the gaze of countless onlookers, Ye Chen remained seated with casual ease upon the chariot. One hand rested upon the princess of the War God Clan, while his other hand was raised, casually delivering a single punch…
Ba Wang, his fury ignited by Ye Chen's blatant contempt, instantly turned pallid with shock.
"Ahhh…"
Ye Chen's fist blazed with immortal radiance, imbued with the profound truth of reincarnation and an unparalleled dominance. Its power and intent dwarfed Ba Wang's retaliatory strike by an immeasurable degree.
At the point of impact, Ba Wang uttered a cry of pure disbelief as his god-like form disintegrated into a mist of blood.
With a casual wave, Ye Chen gathered Ba Wang's residual essence and soul fragment. The Heavenly Emperor's chariot continued its unwavering trajectory towards the divine peak without pause.
…
An absolute silence descended. The event had transpired with shocking speed and abruptness. From Ba Wang's initial charge to Ye Chen's singular, fatal punch – mere moments had elapsed. Ba Wang, who had recently annihilated a King's physical form, was extinguished so effortlessly?
It defied comprehension. The Firmament Overlord Body, a physique of the highest caliber, had been unable to withstand a solitary blow? Had Ye Chen, absent for eight long years and missing the opening of the Immortal Path, grown monstrously more powerful?
The spectators stood dumbfounded, their gazes fixed upon the Heavenly Emperor's heir, his black hair whipped by the wind. The expressions of the remaining eleven prodigies underwent a visible shift. While all were considered elite, Ba Wang was undeniably among the very best. And yet, he had fallen to a single punch?
To make matters worse, Ye Chen's hand had not yet left the woman, a display of terrifying intent. Three prodigious talents, utterly intimidated, chose to flee the peak. However, the Feather Transformation Divine Body and his companions stared daggers at Ye Chen, their gazes filled with fierce animosity. They had actively obstructed Ye Chen's allies from traversing the Immortal Path and had relentlessly pursued them. Their actions had directly contributed to the downfall of Hua Yunfei, the esteemed heir of the Morality Heavenly Venerate. They were acutely aware that their feud with Ye Chen was beyond reconciliation; he would show no mercy to any man, reserving any leniency solely for women. Yao Yuekong ascended, and a colossal Heaven and Earth Manifestation materialized behind him, stretching across the heavens and embracing the netherworld, its towering presence dominating the entire realm. Embodying the might of an ancient demon emperor, he, alongside seven other formidable individuals, launched an assault from the peak, intending to obliterate Ye Chen in a combined effort.
