Chapter 931: I Only Hope He Doesn’t Disturb Me Anymore!

Perhaps because everyone could see that Alkaid Holy Son was targeting Ye Chen, they felt no need to worry about their own safety before Ye Chen arrived. That was why Yan Wenwen seemed quite relaxed and in the mood to chat.

After listening to Yan Ruyu's words laced with dissatisfaction, Yan Wenwen could understand her frustration at being caught in undeserved trouble, but she still hurried to persuade her.

"But Ye Chen's feelings for you are real!"

No one knew this better than Yan Wenwen. If not for Yan Ruyu, Ye Chen might never have let her into the room that day. And after learning that the God Silkworm Clan leader's wife had been slapped to death by Ye Chen without hesitation, she knew Ye Chen did not care much about married women. She had only managed to get lucky by using Yan Ruyu as bait.

Yan Ruyu's face, flawless like the most perfect jade in the world, furrowed again. "I don't care, because I don't want it… If I wanted it, there would be countless suitors!"

Yan Ruyu was not boasting. In her era, the number of admirers chasing after her had been innumerable. Almost every race had people willing to follow her.

In the previous generation, Yan Ruyu had not only been the number one female cultivator of the myriad races; even among the human race, there had been almost no one who could rival her.

Yan Wenwen understood this, but she genuinely wished the best for Yan Ruyu and spoke gently, "But the Heavenly Emperor's heir can become an immortal… I'm definitely hopeless about entering the immortal gate. But you're different. Your appearance alone can suppress everyone, and your aptitude is not bad either. As long as you're willing, you can really fight for one of those six spots!"

Yet even the immortal ascension quota failed to bring the slightest change to Yan Ruyu's autumn-water-like eyes. She shook her head and said indifferently, "I don't care… If I can escape danger this time, I will make it clear to him that I have no intention of becoming one of his women! I want him to stop bringing trouble to me!"

"…"

A trace of regret appeared on Yan Wenwen's face. Since even the immortal ascension quota could not attract Yan Ruyu, it proved that she truly had no interest. Although Yan Wenwen hoped Yan Ruyu could enjoy a good life with her (Ye Chen really was excellent), she would not force it.

Yan Ruyu spoke again, "So, you approached Ye Chen for the immortal ascension quota?"

Yan Wenwen immediately shook her head. "No, I already said the quota definitely won't reach me… I just think he's good-looking, and he completely tamed my unruly son, making him too scared to talk back… At that time, the way he looked at me was also full of amazement. He stared at my figure for a long time, and I really liked that scorching gaze.

"Besides, his physique is truly perfect. The Sacred Body lives up to its name… His strength is invincible. Every time he hits exactly where I need it most. And he has endless novel knowledge and ideas… You could say Ye Chen fulfills all my fantasies about a man. I genuinely like being with him!

"It's just that he comes to find me too rarely! After Ye Chen left the Myriad Races Immortal City last time, every time he returned to the Central Continent, he never came to see me. I was even thinking of pulling you along to increase my presence and compete for a bit more attention from the other women…"

Yan Ruyu nodded as she listened. "It's good that you truly like him… As for entering the Immortal Realm, we may still have a chance in the future. Maybe then you can enter the Immortal Realm as well and meet Ye Chen again…"

Yan Wenwen simply took it as Yan Ruyu comforting her. She smiled with relief. "Don't worry, I'm already very satisfied just having had him!"

The two were about to continue chatting when the atmosphere suddenly changed!

An extremely terrifying aura surged up from afar and rolled toward them.

Yan Wenwen's eyes brightened, filled with surprise and anticipation.

Ye Chen had really come. Even though it was not for her, she was still very happy.

Yan Ruyu's expression remained cold, her eyes showing only impatience… She only hoped this ridiculous farce would end as quickly as possible. She did not want her Immortal Path to be disturbed by anyone else ever again!

"Finally here!"

Alkaid Holy Son, who had been sitting with his eyes closed in silent cultivation, slowly raised his gaze. At this moment, his eyes were filled with burning battle intent. The aura he had been suppressing was no longer held back in the slightest.

Because Alkaid knew that after this battle, he would truly step onto the stage of the struggle for immortality. He would compete with the Exiled Immortal, the Celestial Prince, and the Eight-Crowned King for that single strand of Immortal Qi. He would devour them all. He would advance to an immortal body and transcend this world.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Boom…"

Terrifying chaotic qi erupted from within Alkaid's body. Endless divine radiance flowed, making the already bathed-in-holy-light Alkaid look like an Immortal King descending upon the mortal world.

Behind him, countless phenomena rose. Suns and moons revolved, galaxies stretched endlessly, and infinite stars surged with the vicissitudes of eternity…

The chaotic qi that leaked out transformed into true dragons, divine phoenixes, white tigers, and vermilion birds. They looked lifelike, drawing endless divine light from heaven and earth as if they truly existed, protecting Alkaid's Dao.

At this moment, Alkaid Holy Son had reached perfection.

Many spectators had gathered here, not only the Great Saints. Quite a few Saint Kings and even Saints had come to watch the excitement. Among them were many experienced and knowledgeable experts.

Shaken by Alkaid's aura until their souls trembled, someone cried out in shock, "This isn't an Acquired Chaos Body… this is an Innate Chaos Body! Only an Innate Chaos Body can be so perfectly rounded and naturally produce such phenomena…"

"A perfect Chaos Body can manifest all things in heaven and earth with lifelike realism. This is unbelievable!"

"How is this possible? Alkaid actually broke through the limit of the Devouring lineage and achieved the Innate Chaos Body!"

"I never expected that two Chaos Bodies would appear in this era. No wonder Alkaid has the courage to contend with the Heavenly Emperor's heir and target his woman!"

The crowd was astonished and shaken by Alkaid's trump cards. But some still sang a different tune, believing Alkaid was still not enough.

"Although Alkaid is a Great Saint, a whole major realm ahead, and now has the Innate Chaos Body, I still feel it's not enough."

"Indeed. The Heavenly Emperor's heir is far more terrifying. His combat strength has long surpassed what realms can measure."

This view won the agreement of most people. After all, Ye Chen's battle record so far had been too outrageous. The Innate Chaos Body was indeed terrifying. But in front of the Heavenly Emperor's heir, it was still not enough.

Alkaid paid no attention to the discussions of the spectators. He simply looked toward the distant horizon where a figure could faintly be seen, the corners of his mouth curving upward.

The next moment, his bloodline began to boil. Inside his body, a massive heartbeat like rolling thunder sounded. Every heartbeat was like heavenly thunder, causing the void itself to tremble. Even though the spectators had known this battle would be heaven-defying and had kept a safe distance from the very beginning, their faces still paled when they heard the heartbeat.

Great Saints retreated further. Saint Kings directly vomited blood.

Inside the shattered blessed land, Yan Wenwen's face also turned white. She had only barely reached the peak of Half-Saint and could not withstand it at all.

However, Yan Ruyu raised her hand. Seven-colored divine light swept out and protected Yan Wenwen. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Alkaid's chest. For the first time, a trace of surprise appeared on her face.

Alkaid ignored the situation around him. The heartbeat grew louder and louder. Above his head, nine golden pillars of blood qi roared upward like true dragons, displaying the terrifying vitality of his fleshly body. His Chaos Body seemed to receive some kind of enhancement at this moment.

The already vast chaotic qi surged once more. It transformed into ancient divine weapons that circled behind Alkaid. These chaotic-qi divine weapons each possessed miraculous effects. They revolved around him, making Alkaid appear even more mysterious, like an ancient god.

…

While the spectators continued to retreat, their pupils all shrank. An old antique from an ancient great teaching stared at the nine blood-qi pillars above Alkaid's head with disbelief.

Feeling the further-enhanced chaotic qi, he cried out involuntarily, "This is the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart? Also known as the Nine Apertures Immortal Heart! Wasn't Alkaid originally a mortal body? How could he possess the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart?"

Ever since Alkaid had exposed his identity and faked his death in front of Ye Chen, his past had been dug up. Or rather, the Alkaid Holy Land had deliberately spread it.

Everyone knew Alkaid's history. He had once been a mortal body, neglected by his parents, looked down upon, and treated as a disgrace by his elder brother. Later, he had been chosen by the Devouring lineage and risen step by step.

But what they were seeing now was completely different. Alkaid had never been a mere mortal body. He possessed the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart.

Amid the uproar, many people did not understand the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart because it was simply too rare.

Someone immediately began to explain, "The Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart is comparable to the Supreme Heart. But their focuses are different. The Supreme Heart excels mainly in offensive power, which the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart cannot match!"

"However, the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart can enhance comprehension. Any ancient scripture or divine technique can be cultivated at will…"

"No wonder he could break the limit of the Devouring lineage and achieve the Innate Chaos Body…"

"The Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart can also strengthen the physical body, making blood qi abundant and the fleshly body reach its limit. This perfectly compensates for the only weakness of the Innate Chaos Body—its fleshly body being slightly inferior to top-tier physiques."

"It can further enhance the physique itself, making its power even stronger and taking it to the next level…"

"The Chaos Body has no bottlenecks in cultivation all the way to True Immortal. With the comprehension boost from the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, plus the compensation for the insufficiently strong fleshly body, it can make the Chaos Body even more invincible…"

"When the two complement each other, it is far more than one plus one equals two!"

"The current Alkaid is terrifying beyond imagination…"

Hearing the terror of the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, the previously puzzled spectators all drew in sharp breaths. They looked at Alkaid, who resembled an ancient god with the Vicious Ten and divine weapons circling around him, and felt awe and amazement to the extreme. This person's talent, willpower, and patience had all surpassed imagination. To have endured until now before revealing everything was truly chilling.

With both the Chaos Body and the Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart, Alkaid Holy Son was practically invincible and had no weaknesses. On top of that, he was at least one major realm higher than the Heavenly Emperor's heir.

The balance of victory in everyone's hearts began to shift. Originally, they had all believed the Heavenly Emperor's heir was far more terrifying and would definitely win. That Alkaid had simply been unable to hold back.

But now they hesitated. The current Alkaid had probably surpassed some immortal bodies of the same realm. With higher cultivation as well. Could the Heavenly Emperor's heir really still suppress him?

The atmosphere grew somewhat heavy for a moment. A worried look also appeared on Yan Wenwen's face…
