Chương 567: Chapter 566: The Heavenly Emperor Heir Is This Fierce?

The True Phoenix Blood and Tail Feathers perfectly matched Li Feihuang's physique. Acquiring them must've been arduous, yet Ye Chen casually gifted them, surely after great effort. He'd never forgotten her, keeping treasures suited for her. This moved Li Feihuang deeply, intensifying her guilt. Compared to Ye Chen, her past self was utterly deplorable. But his swift departure left her wistful. Seeing her master's radiant glow these years, she too yearned… Releasing past grudges was already a joy.

Next time, she'd be bolder, inviting Ye Chen into her cave abode. Maybe, as her master suggested, "accidentally" intrude when he visited her master? She'd considered it before but feared he'd ignore her, breaking her heart. Now, she dared to entertain the thought—just to look, nothing more. … With the Immortal Guiding Scripture in hand, Ye Chen planned to seclude himself. But first, he visited Senior An, guiding An Yuyi's cultivation.

Then, with Lin Qingtan, he explored deeper uses of demonic patterns—especially gripping her twin ponytails, which was intriguing. He didn't forget Lu Jing, still slacking off, neglecting cultivation but excelling in spiritual planting and beast taming, raising beasts Ye Chen enjoyed eating. Aside from cultivation, she was passionate. Her cooking had improved remarkably. After "punishing" her for two days, Ye Chen entered seclusion to cultivate the scripture.

The scripture's Unity section was phenomenal, absorbing Dao charms like theft—blazingly fast. It included top-tier techniques, like Meeting Without Recognition, a supreme identity-altering spell mimicking even aura and origin so perfectly, even a spouse wouldn't notice. It also offered elite concealment methods. Legend said the Devouring Heavenly Demon Venerable, as a quasi-immortal, evaded True Immortals' detection, snatching their opportunities and escaping unscathed. They searched for decades in vain.

Ye Chen was thrilled—his past misdeeds were exposed by the next day. With these techniques, he'd be unstoppable. … He cultivated the scripture, boosting his strength, emerging weekly but otherwise detached from worldly affairs. Meanwhile, his fame skyrocketed. Though no firsthand image stones surfaced, Su Yuxuan and Yi Qingwu's accounts pieced together the battle. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

The First Nether Son and Ying Tiansheng schemed to ambush Su Yuxuan. Ye Chen, smitten by her beauty and fair feet, heroically intervened, slaying the First Nether Son in one strike. Coveting Yi Qingwu, he didn't hold back, trapping and killing Ying Tiansheng with his domain, hoping she'd marry him. But Yi Qingwu, unyielding, refused, and Ye Chen, reluctant to harm her, let her go. Su Yuxuan, upset by his fixation on Yi Qingwu, returned to Nether God Holy Land. Ye Chen's efforts ended in vain.

When the news first spread, Central Continent was skeptical. The First Nether Son wasn't weak—how could he be one-shotted? Many suspected a rumor or Mahayana aid. But at a gathering, Alkaid Holy Son openly praised Ye Chen's might. Having met him, Alkaid felt outmatched, despite nearing Mahayana, against early-Unity Ye Chen. He declared Ye Chen's Heavy Pupils and Primordial Supreme Heart already made him peerless in his realm. Yet, Ye Chen hid a top-tier physique—likely a Sacred Body.

Alkaid proclaimed him the likeliest to ascend in this generation. Central Continent reeled. Heavy Pupils and Supreme Heart were absurd enough, ensuring same-realm invincibility. High-realm prodigies like the Heavenly Demon Body boasted only due to their advanced cultivation. In the same realm, who could rival Ye Chen? A hidden top-tier physique on top of that? Unthinkable. Alkaid's judgment was unquestioned, making Ye Chen's fame explode.

Some speculated he was the Heavenly Emperor's son—Sacred Body, Supreme Heart, Heavy Pupils—perhaps born secretly with a Heavy Pupil woman, sealed in divine source for this era. If true, the immortal path's outcome seemed settled. Talk of Ye Chen avoiding fights ceased—his strength, validated by Alkaid's wariness, was undeniable. All awaited his Central Continent arrival to witness the Heavenly Emperor heir's splendor. … In the Heavenly Emperor Hall, a golden-robed elder's face darkened at the rumors.

Per their ancestor, the Emperor likely remained chaste, even during his "soul communication" with the Heavenly Desire Sect's divine maiden—just some handplay before fleeing. Yet Ye Chen seemed increasingly like the Emperor's son. His robust physique was no secret—possibly an Ancient Desolation Sacred Body? A purple-gold dragon gloated, "Panicking? Told your Yan family not to treat the Hall as yours. This kid's ruthless—killing fiancé for women, fiercer than the Emperor. If he's his son, your Yan family's done.

Send your daughter to apologize! He's woman-obsessed—she's pretty enough to make you his father-in-law." The elder's face blackened, but reflecting on Ye Chen's absurd feats, he regretted picking him as a fake heir. He should've avoided him. Sending his daughter? Never. He smirked confidently.

"Physique isn't everything—character matters! No matter Ye Chen's talent, my daughter's Innate Chaos Body would outshine even the Emperor…" The dragon scoffed. Physiques don't matter—except your daughter's Chaos Body?
