Chương 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.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. 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…
