Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 504: Sorry, I Lied to You!

The grand formation finally shattered. Heavenly Intention Holy Son's face darkened as he saw Ye Chen reaching for the fiancée, ready to charge forward. But Fang Qing was faster. A Mahayana realm expert erupted, shaking the laws of heaven and earth with terrifying might. The pressure pinned Heavenly Intention Holy Son, rendering his Movement Secret useless.

Fang Qing's eyes burned with killing intent. At this moment, Mo Yixi's aura had plummeted below the Unity realm. He could sense the withered source beneath his flesh. Even his hair had turned gray in just a few days. It was clear—Mo Yixi was truly at his end.

Yet Fang Qing spared no effort. When he moved, it was with his most devastating strike. This was why he had survived this long. He aimed to kill Elder Mo in one blow. Radiant light burst from his hand, as if the laws of the Great Dao were unfolding.

Endless divine light surged, as though the entire world was in Fang Qing's grasp, descending to crush Mo Yixi. The entire Great Shang Immortal City grew somber.

Countless cultivators felt their hearts nearly burst under the pressure. Their eyes were filled with awe. Was this the full force of a Mahayana expert? It was terrifying. Could even an immortal withstand such a strike? Who could block it?

Elder Mo, locked in Fang Qing's sights, paled—first in shock, then in fear. But as Fang Qing closed in, his expression shifted, a smile emerging. "I've been waiting for you!"

Fang Qing's face changed, but he dismissed it as a bluff. His killing intent surged, merciless. It was dusk. Elder Mo stood against the setting sun, its rays casting a golden glow around him. His movement was simple: he raised his right hand, index and middle fingers slashing down.

Boom!

The endless radiant light in Fang Qing's hand, capable of destroying the world, shattered the moment Elder Mo's fingers struck. The boundless laws collapsed, dissolving into the heavens.

The terrifying clash echoed through the skies, reverberating endlessly. The protective formation of Great Shang Immortal City silently crumbled under the shockwave, revealing the sheer horror of their collision. Elder Mo not only blocked the strike but gained the upper hand. Everyone was stunned, unable to believe it.

Fang Qing, sensing the terrifying aura rising from Elder Mo, was filled with doubt and confusion.

Elder Mo's lips curled into a cold smile. "I lied before. I hadn't fully ascended—I was just bluffing to scare you! Now, I've truly ascended to the peak! Are you ready to die with me?"

As he spoke, his hands never stopped, weaving countless laws into a unique domain.

Fang Qing had no chance to escape as the domain enveloped him. His face darkened as he scanned his surroundings. He couldn't tell if Elder Mo's words were true or another ruse. Had he really been bluffing before, only now reaching his peak?

Trapped in his domain, escape was impossible in the short term—a battle was inevitable.

Fang Qing's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He hadn't wanted to risk his jade-like body against Mo Yixi's broken tile. But that didn't mean he feared him. In his peak state, why couldn't he defeat a fleetingly ascended Mo Yixi? He thought he could take him down with him? Let's see if he had the ability.

…

Elder Mo raised his hand, trapping Fang Qing. He glanced at Heavenly Intention Holy Son, then at Ye Chen. Ye Chen instantly understood his look—should he trap Heavenly Intention Holy Son too?

He shook his head. Elder Mo smiled, his figure vanishing into the domain. His domain, carved from the void, blocked all sight. To onlookers, only Ye Chen, Heavenly Intention Holy Son, and Heavenly Intention Holy Maiden remained in the sky.

Heavenly Intention Holy Son was stunned by Elder Mo's sudden outburst. But a cold smirk soon curled his lips. This wasn't bad for him. He could easily crush Ye Chen. If Fang Qing and Mo Yixi both fell or perished together, he could devour all three's sources.

Fang Qing's physique, though unknown, was extraordinary to reach Mahayana. Elder Mo possessed a King Body, unmatched in strength. And Ye Chen had the Supreme Heart and Heavy Pupils. If he absorbed them all, even in his sect's brutal trials, he'd emerge the strongest.

Heavenly Intention Holy Son hesitated no longer. Before the great battle ended, he'd subdue Ye Chen. His gaze shot out like lightning, two beams of holy light shattering Ye Chen's giant hand.

With a flash, he used Movement Secret, shielding the fiancée behind him. He didn't attack immediately—Ye Chen was already a dead man in his eyes. He only wanted to know if the fiancée was humiliated or hurt.

"Qingwu, are you okay?"

Hearing his voice, Yi Qingwu looked to Heavenly Intention Holy Son as her anchor. Her clear eyes reddened, evoking pity, filled with grievance, humiliation, and a hint of blame as if questioning why he hadn't saved her sooner. But in the end, she seemed to hold back, nodding silently. Her demeanor made Heavenly Intention Holy Son oblivious to anything amiss. She'd definitely been humiliated. His True Martial Eye scanned her, finding no other issues. But her lips seemed swollen…

In that moment, he understood why she didn't speak. Recalling Ye Chen's projected image—only his head and torso visible, eyes closing mid-speech, body swaying—Heavenly Intention Holy Son's black hair whipped wildly as he glared at Ye Chen.

Humiliation and guilt churned within him. No man could endure the fiancée being treated this way. His weakness, failing to save her, led to her shame, fueling his guilt. Complex emotions fused into towering killing intent. Heavenly Intention Holy Son held back no longer. He'd strike like thunder, annihilating Ye Chen.

"Immortal Dao Divine Domain! Great Dao Treasure Bottle!"

A domain erupted from him, enveloping Great Shang Immortal City. Countless cultivators within found their spiritual Qi weakened, their techniques and laws reduced to seventy percent power. All marveled.

Heavenly Intention Holy Son's domain, post-Unity realm breakthrough, was too formidable. Its vast range and potent effect suppressed enemies' qi. Utterly terrifying. Within his domain, he was near invincible.

In the next moment, endless divine light surged from him, blocking outsiders' view. He formed the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, its boundless charm flowing, charging at Ye Chen trapped within the domain. His opening move was his strongest attack. His resolve to kill Ye Chen was razor-sharp.

From afar, Yi Qingwu watched, fists clenched, eyes full of worry. Ahead, Ye Chen raised a brow, smiling. Unfazed by the suppression, he didn't even activate his Heavy Pupils. Divine light boiled at his brow, forming a divine bridge. A solid figure stepped out from it…
