Chương 573: Chapter 572: Overlord Fist!

Gazing at the Heavenly Emperor heir lounging on his war chariot, Central Continent cultivators, seeing Ye Chen for the first time, were stunned. Too arrogant! A realm below top prodigies, yet challenging two at once, aiming to end the fight before the Cave Heaven opened? Overconfident. Lan Nuo silently noted this. Ba Wang and Yao Yuekong felt humiliated. Yao Yuekong stood, purple demonic aura dispersing, his giant-like frame imposing.

"Seeking death? I'll oblige!" Ba Wang squinted.

"I wonder if a Sacred Body with Supreme Heart bleeds gold? My ancestors said it's slightly sweet—hope yours doesn't disappoint." Their battle intent surged, shaking the heavens. Alkaid frowned, glancing at the Cave Heaven below, snapping his fingers subtly. Instantly, the Cave Heaven fully opened, its aura spilling out, revealing the longevity medicine's shadow. Hearts raced, voices clamoring to rush in, but none dared move while top prodigies held back. Alkaid smiled.

"No rush. The Cave Heaven's open—fight after seeing the medicine!" He transformed into divine light, entering first. Ye Chen frowned, his Heavy Pupils sensing something odd about the opening. Recalling Alkaid's prior search for the medicine here, he suspected a trap—perhaps a killing array to wipe out all prodigies. Undeterred, with his small world, Movement Secret, and Kun Peng Treasure Technique, he feared no danger. Glancing at the duo, he drove his chariot into the Cave Heaven.

Yao Yuekong and Ba Wang snorted, following without attacking. Solar Body and others trailed. The cultivation world's hierarchy was clear—strongest went first. Soon, only Lan Nuo remained. The crowd waited, but she stayed put. Puzzled, they wondered why the fairy lingered. Lan Nuo smiled lightly, her voice echoing, "You go first!" She'd enter last. Basking in their gazes, she felt pleased, assuming they admired her composure.

The crowd surged in, but privately thought her intimidated by Ye Chen and Ba Wang's ferocity, opting out. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. … As the prodigies entered, Lan Nuo followed last. Protectors tried to follow but frowned—Mahayana and above couldn't enter. This restriction spiked prodigy death risks without protectors. Worried, Mahayana cultivators sent urgent messages, urging their prodigies to flee if outmatched.

Entering the Cave Heaven, Ye Chen scanned his surroundings, raising an eyebrow. The Cave Heaven, a Mahayana cultivator's sublimated domain, was a world of its own, varying in size by strength and foundation. This one, roughly 10, 000 miles square, was impressive but not vast for Unity cultivators. Looking to the sky, entering prodigies appeared in different spots, top ones shining with phenomena. Ye Chen ignored them, focusing on the Cave Heaven's center, where the human-shaped longevity medicine's aura emanated.

Driving his chariot, led by a true spirit, he streaked across the sky. His position was closest, arriving first. Below, a spiritual pool held a swaying purple flower, its giant petals cradling a white, jade-like fruit, textured like a seated human. Dense life aura flowed from it, fully ripened, drawing Cave Heaven beasts. A barrier kept them at bay. Top prodigies arrived, eyeing the medicine and Ye Chen coldly, ready to strike if he moved for it.

Eight faced him—Alkaid, Yao Yuekong, and Ba Wang the most imposing; the Solar Body like a blazing sun, not far behind; Star River King Body and others lesser. Oddly, the 4, 000x Lan Nuo was absent, leaving Ye Chen faintly disappointed. Closest to the medicine, he didn't rush. He tossed out an array disk, enveloping the medicine, then looked up calmly.

"You've wanted to meet me so long—come at me together!" He planned to clear the field and gift the medicine to the 7, 000x Yan Qingcheng. His words stunned all. Challenging Yao Yuekong and Ba Wang was bold; now he challenged everyone? Was the Heavenly Emperor heir mad? Even the Heavenly Emperor never fought all top prodigies alone. Yao Yuekong sneered, "Ignorant of death!" Ba Wang, twice scorned, said nothing, his red blood aura erupting.

An Overlord Fist, supreme and yang, shook the Cave Heaven, its raw physical might overwhelming—ordinary late-Unity cultivators couldn't withstand one blow. Ye Chen, still seated, casually countered with a fist, golden blood aura surging. Their fists clashed. Ye Chen didn't budge; Ba Wang stepped back half a pace. All eyes widened. Ba Wang squinted.

"Indeed a Sacred Body, boosted by Supreme Heart—stronger than past ones! But that's all!" His Firmament Overlord Body erupted, domain blooming, nine divine shapes orbiting, enhancing every inch of him. Like a frenzied giant, black hair wild, his ferocity stunned all.

"Let's see if your Heavenly Emperor Fist matches my clan's Overlord Fist! Though I regret not facing the Emperor, killing you, his heir, will cleanse my clan's shame." Killing intent blazing, he charged. Entering prodigies watched, eyes wide. Yan Qingcheng, disguised as plain, entered just then, frowning with a flicker of guilt. The Overlord Fist was terrifying, supreme, and grew stronger in battle. With the Heavenly Emperor Fist, Ye Chen would fear nothing. But he hadn't learned it. He might suffer.

Perhaps, after this, she should gift him the Heavenly Emperor Fist.
