Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 651: A Battle Ended in an Instant!

Yao Yuekong's Heaven and Earth Manifestation took shape, resembling a mythical demon immortal. Stars flickered within his eyes, his bronze physique moving with dragon-like agility. A terrifying light emanated from his gaze as he unleashed a formidable ancient technique upon Ye Chen with a sweeping gesture.

The remaining seven followed suit. As the foremost prodigies of their era, their perception was sharp, and their confidence unshaken. They discerned that Ye Chen's punch, though appearing ordinary, was amplified by a profound technique—most likely the Multiplier Secret.

This technique was famously employed by the Heavenly Emperor to overcome superior foes. It was therefore logical that his heir, Ye Chen, would possess it. If that particular punch had activated the Multiplier Secret, Ba Wang's immediate demise would be understandable. The secret, while potent, was rarely triggered—occurring perhaps once in tens of thousands of instances. However, if they were to strike together and swiftly eliminate Ye Chen, the confrontation would conclude.

"Heir to the Heavenly Emperor, my Demon God Eye surpasses that of myriad races, no less than the Heavy Pupils. Today, I shall etch my name with yours!" declared a prodigy hailing from the myriad races.

In addition to his two primary pupils, two more eyes on his forehead sprang open, radiating divine power and coalescing into a colossal demon god that lunged towards Ye Chen. Another prodigy, bathed in divine radiance, unleashed a devastating ancient technique.

"Transforming Heaven Technique!"

"Feather Transformation Deity Chant!"

"Heavenly Dao Chains…"

"Reincarnation Seal…"

Some unleashed terrifyingly potent techniques. Others brandished mighty Extreme Dao Weapons.

The Heavenly Demon Body proved to be the most fearsome, its towering Heaven and Earth Manifestation directed at Ye Chen. Each individual present represented the most gifted and strongest cultivator from their respective race or faction. Their combined assault promised to be cataclysmic.

The void fractured, the divine peak fractured, and the surrounding area transformed into a desolate wasteland, creating an apocalyptic spectacle. Their overwhelming might sent ripples across the entire second realm. Many cultivators jolted awake, their eyes drawn towards the battlefield, questioning the cause of the disturbance.

Onlookers retreated in haste, wary of the collateral damage. They turned their attention to Ye Chen, who was surrounded at the epicenter, their hearts filled with apprehension for him. Even the Heavenly Emperor's heir, facing such a formidable contingent of peak Holy Master-level powerhouses, appeared to be in grave peril.

From within the chariot, sensing the palpable killing intent, Luo Bingling froze, a sense of impending doom washing over her. She prepared to stand, her golden armor igniting with brilliance. Her vertical pupil dilated, poised to carve a path and lead Ye Chen away from the center to join her in battle.

But as her hips lifted from the seat, a force on her waist gently pressed her back. Feeling the sensation of a hand still caressing her navel gem, she gasped in utter disbelief. Facing imminent death, and he was still engaging in such actions? Was he out of his mind? She desired the Dao Cauldron, not annihilation!

Despite the terrifying onslaught, Ye Chen remained utterly composed. He lifted a single hand, conjuring an unusual technique. A strange power surged forth, imposing silence upon the world. The devastating divine techniques arrayed before him faltered, then vanished into nothingness. No residual power whatsoever remained.

The assembled crowd gasped. The formidable techniques of the eight prodigies, nullified with such apparent ease? The Heavenly Emperor's heir possessed an overwhelming repertoire of profound skills! Some of the more knowledgeable prodigies turned pale.

This was identified as the Myriad Transformations Holy Art, derived from the Indestructible Heavenly Art, possessing the capability to dissolve all secret arts. Had the heir also inherited the legacy of the Devouring Female Immortal? And had he mastered it to such an advanced degree? Could he possibly be her successor as well?

This thought was quickly dismissed. The Heavenly Emperor had, in the past, vanquished a fully realized Chaos Body from the Devouring lineage. As his heir, it was plausible for Ye Chen to inherit a portion of that legacy.

Nevertheless, the onlookers remained stunned. The dissolution of their ultimate killing techniques implied that his Myriad Transformations Holy Art was close to perfection. His innate talent was simply astounding.

…

Following the execution of the art, the void behind Ye Chen trembled. A double-headed golden war staff materialized, its central portion crimson, adorned with nine dragon carvings. Its killing aura radiated outwards, shaking its surroundings.

The Extreme Dao Weapons wielded by the prodigies halted in mid-air. They were dumbfounded. They were aware that Ye Chen possessed two supreme Extreme Dao Weapons. However, these prodigies, backed by immense forces, were also wielding the supreme Extreme Dao Weapons of their respective clans. Yet, to see them all suppressed simultaneously was utterly astonishing.

"Armament Secret!"

"The Heavenly Emperor's heir has mastered the Armament Secret to an unfathomable extent!"

The crowd collectively gasped, their expressions shifting. A palpable fear began to dawn upon them. While top-tier techniques might be numerous, their mastery was exceptionally difficult. For techniques such as the Battle Secret or the Movement Secret, many had dedicated lifetimes without achieving true mastery. Yet, Ye Chen's techniques were all displayed at unimaginable heights of proficiency. It was simply too incredible.

Several of the eight prodigies began to contemplate withdrawal. They no longer wished to engage in combat. Ye Chen, wielding techniques at their absolute peak, was far too terrifying, even if the Multiplier Secret did not activate again.

However, Ye Chen did not merely deflect their assaults; he retaliated fiercely. His eyes swirled with chaotic energy, his already formidable physique amplifying this power. From his gaze, a blinding, divine radiance erupted.

In a flash, the prodigy wielding the Demon God Eye was obliterated. Though a cultivator of the Second Heaven, possessing a domain, soul, and body harmonized, his immense vitality could not save him. He perished with a single strike.

At the same moment, celestial light burst forth from Ye Chen's heart, accompanied by a fearsome aura of heavenly tribulation. A gigantic hand descended, crushing three other prodigies into nothingness.

Ye Chen's other hand then conjured the True Dragon and True Phoenix Treasure Techniques. His profound mastery allowed him to wield both simultaneously, a feat accomplished with a single hand.

Nine colossal beings, resembling mountains and dragons and phoenixes, materialized and charged towards the remaining three prodigies. Despite their desperate attempts to escape, Ye Chen's Heavy Pupils ensnared them within his Pure Land, momentarily trapping their movements.

As the mythical dragon and phoenix onslaught breached the Pure Land, the very heavens trembled, and a brilliant light threatened to blind all observers. When the tumultuous scene subsided, only emptiness remained. Absolutely everything had been annihilated.

A collective gasp of disbelief swept through the onlookers. With Ye Chen's right hand still poised, eight rival prodigies had been reduced to a single survivor in the blink of an eye?

It was utterly inconceivable!
