Chapter 999: Private Customization!

Her body was flawless white jade, like a carved sculpture. Her skin was in no way inferior to Yan Ruyu's. If there was one thing Ye Chen felt was not quite perfect, it would be the scale. The smaller size made Manjusaka appear even more holy and pure. But it lacked a certain other flavor. It felt somewhat incomplete.

However, this was not his own body, so there was nothing much to say. Perhaps because the immortal corpse's origin feared Ye Chen, or because it had been activated by him earlier and thus felt close to him… Or perhaps it was Manjusaka's subconscious desire for Ye Chen to be satisfied.

In any case, after sensing Ye Chen's slight disappointment, the power of new life that had almost fully merged into the body suddenly emerged again and began to work… For a moment, it was as if the world was being created anew. Divine mountains slowly rose, valleys gently sank. Domineeringly, majestically, imposingly…

Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

Su Yuxuan shot him a sideways glance and kicked him twice with her small feet.

Ye Chen felt a bit innocent. He had not done anything!

Seeing that the divine mountains were about to rise further, Ye Chen quickly raised his hand to indicate that it was enough. If they rose any more, the proportions would be ruined.

From his many years of experience, scale was important, but proportion was equally indispensable. If the proportions were off, it would only become a burden with no meaning.

The moment Ye Chen raised his hand, the evolution of the divine mountains immediately stopped.

This made Su Yuxuan's gaze even more resentful. No wonder Senior Brother rarely touched her. It turned out he thought her capital was insufficient…

Ye Chen suddenly felt he had no way to explain himself. Besides, Manjusaka had already begun evolving her internal structure and was on the right track. There was no need to keep watching.

Thus, Ye Chen took one last look at Manjusaka's new Heavenly Human Clan body, which was no longer purely holy, and directly took Su Yuxuan with him as he flew to the side. They continued what they had been doing earlier!

This time, Su Yuxuan stopped feeling resentful and became happy again.

…

Outside the formation.

The four quasi-immortals had all finished refining the Black Tortoise Undying Fruits. They had now regained their youthful appearances. Each of them had once been heaven's chosen, dashing and elegant, peerlessly magnificent. However, none of them had left. They waited in place to personally thank Ye Chen.

Elder Shangguan and the loli ancestor planned to return to the Great Yan Continent together with him.

The Nether God Holy Land quasi-immortal could not help but say, "The Heavenly Emperor's heir of this generation is truly domineering and warm-hearted. In my opinion, he will definitely become an immortal!"

The Peacock Clan ancestor also nodded. "Indeed. The Eight-Crowned King is not even qualified to compete with him."

Elder Shangguan was also full of admiration for Ye Chen. "That female cultivator earlier even used repayment as an excuse to offer herself. Simply delusional. A person like Ye Chen who can reach the peak, how could he possibly indulge in lust…"

The loli ancestor, however, felt a little worried. She was afraid that the strongest protector in the history of the Heavenly Desire Sect would be snatched away by other female cultivators.

She also spoke up, "Indeed. How could a top genius be obsessed with romantic affairs? Those who can catch his eye must be extremely few. Only a handful of heaven's chosen daughters would have that honor… Back then, didn't the Heavenly Emperor also avoid women? He only had one or two close female confidantes."

Yan Ruyu waited there. She felt anxious and had many things she wanted to say to Ye Chen. Hearing everyone praise him with short mouths after receiving benefits, her expression grew complicated…

No one knew exactly how many female cultivators Ye Chen had. Yan Ruyu only knew that besides the famous female cultivators in the Central Continent, Ye Chen had an entire harem peak each in the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and the Heavenly Intent Holy Land. All the elders and disciples on those peaks were female cultivators carefully selected to accompany him.

Besides that, she had also heard that when Ye Chen visited the Nether God Holy Land as a guest, he had even proactively requested to open another branch harem peak there. It was only because the Nether God Holy Land was unwilling that it had not succeeded.

Therefore, when everyone said Ye Chen had unparalleled talent and was a genius of his generation, she had no objection. But if they said Ye Chen did not indulge in women, probably no cultivator in the entire cultivation world would agree.

However, this also made Yan Ruyu even more conflicted. She was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world. No one could compare with her. Had Ye Chen really given up on her now?

Otherwise, why had he not even glanced at her before directly giving the immortal corpse's origin to Su Yuxuan?

While everyone was discussing and Yan Ruyu was feeling anxious and uncertain, powerful figures arrived outside the Land of Fallen Immortals one after another. Looking at the once-dreaded Land of Fallen Immortals that had now been completely leveled, they all widened their eyes in shock… The Heavenly Emperor's heir had actually flattened the Land of Fallen Immortals?

…

Looking at the massive heavenly pit, the entire scene fell silent. No one had expected that the Heavenly Emperor's heir would quietly flatten an entire forbidden land. But it also explained why the commotion from Ye Chen's earlier battle had been so enormous.

In the current cultivation world, aside from the Eight-Crowned King, only the things inside the Land of Fallen Immortals were qualified to make the Heavenly Emperor's heir go all out.

Everyone curiously observed the area, wondering who the enemy inside the Land of Fallen Immortals had been. But as they looked around, they spotted Yan Ruyu and the four quasi-immortals waiting there. In an instant, their eyes widened.

"You're not my clan's ancestor! My ancestor died long ago. Who are you?"

"Elder, how are you still alive?"

"Father, it's impossible for you to be alive. How dare you impersonate my father? Die!"

Powerful experts from the Peacock Clan and the Nether God Holy Land were present. Upon seeing the two quasi-immortals, they flew over in shock, eyes wide with disbelief.

Some even moved to attack immediately. The faces of the two quasi-immortals instantly darkened. They kicked their respective juniors away.

Once everyone confirmed that the two were genuine, the onlookers became even more astonished. They immediately gathered around, eager to know what had happened! Even the quasi-immortals who should have been dead had survived.

The Peacock Clan quasi-immortal ancestor was relatively more talkative. He briefly explained everything that had occurred earlier. However, he did not mention the Black Tortoise Undying Fruits. He did not want Ye Chen to become the target of everyone's envy.

Everyone present listened in stunned silence. The Land of Fallen Immortals had always been terrifying. Almost no one knew exactly what was inside, only that there were quasi-immortals serving as slaves. It turned out to be the remnant thought of an Asura Clan True Immortal. And the immortal corpses inside had been prepared for her resurrection.

This caused an uproar among everyone. An immortal corpse resurrecting would be unimaginably terrifying. After all, it was the body of a True Immortal. Yet it had been completely erased by a single punch from the Heavenly Emperor's heir, who was still only at the peak of the Great Emperor realm?

This was simply too outrageous. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor's heir already possessed True Immortal-level combat power?!

Moreover, if he was already this strong at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, what about when he became a quasi-immortal? Wouldn't he be completely unrivaled?

Many cultivators who had firmly believed that the Eight-Crowned King, who had suppressed the world for a million years, was stronger, now began to waver.

At this moment, they felt that the Eight-Crowned King might not be so invincible after all. If he did not take action soon, once Ye Chen became a quasi-immortal, even the Eight-Crowned King might suffer a crushing defeat.

Among those present, the cultivators from the Dao One Holy Land were the most anxious. They wished they could rush forward and kill Ye Chen with a single punch themselves.

However, their own Eight-Crowned King ancestor simply refused to act. He remained steadily seated in the Ninth Stage, waiting for Ye Chen to grow stronger. It was truly infuriating!
