Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 489

Capítulo 489: Preparing for the Alliance’s Response

After the string of system notifications finished, a faint light rose from Lu Yi’s body.

An unseen pull gathered around Jiang Chen, and the light was drawn straight into the spot between his eyebrows.

[Ding! You have successfully captured the System Origin Force of the All Things Infinite Fusion System. Swallowing it may transform this system and potentially add new abilities!]

[Ding! Would you like to use System Origin Force ×1?]

Two more notifications popped up in his Sea of Consciousness.

It was almost the same as what happened when he killed Mo Hao last time.

But this time, Jiang Chen didn’t feel the same thrill he had before.

He let his dragon-human hybrid form fade and dispersed the Void Tribulation Soulring. Looking down at his chest, he could feel anger rising from somewhere deep inside.

“Heavenly Fate…” he muttered, letting out a quiet sigh.

A moment later, he lifted his hand. The Wordless Heavenly Jade and the Underworld Calamity Indestructible Dao Embryo each released a different power. Those forces wrapped around the bodies of Lu Yi and the seven men from Liang Youwen’s group.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses broke apart—some turning into streams of blood light, others into pure radiance—and all of it flowed into Jiang Chen.

Each stream of blood light carried its own color.

Lu Yi’s was dark gold—deep yet brilliant at the same time, giving off a mysterious feel. This was the Saint Demon Heart, a Primordial Chaos–rank bloodline.

Liang Youwen and the others had innate physiques too, but theirs were nothing special—just ordinary bloodline powers.

What mattered to Jiang Chen were the Saint Demon Heart and the fragments of Great Dao laws hidden inside everyone’s pure cultivation base.

There are still some Great Dao laws I haven’t mastered, Jiang Chen thought.

With the ones I collected from Chao Xin, I should have enough to break through to the Void Tribulation realm.

But to be safe, I should also get rid of the six-man team from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect. His divine sense locked onto You Shaojun, Sun Xiangyuan, Sun Anming, Sun Ancheng, Lu Tingze, and Lu Tingguang, who were rushing toward him.

Since the seven Nirvana Cleansing realm powerhouses from the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace died so fast, Sun Xiangyuan’s group was still charging over in a frenzy, completely unaware of what had happened.

Glazed Passage Space Travel!

With a single thought, Jiang Chen’s figure blurred and slipped into the spatial ripples. When he emerged again, he was already fifty million kilometers from where he started.

He had just entered the divine sense detection range of the six-man team from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect.

Jiang Chen’s sudden appearance made Sun Xiangyuan and the others jolt in shock.

“Jiang Chen!? How is he here!?”

“Didn’t Liang Youwen’s group stop him?”

“He must’ve used that True Dragon to jump through space and run. Too bad for him—we found him!”

“That True Dragon can’t keep teleporting nonstop. If we chase him down, he’s dead for sure!”

Their rage spiked, eyes burning red as they charged at him with killing intent.

But right then, Jiang Chen simply took one step and vanished. When he appeared again, he was already thirty kilometers ahead of Sun Xiangyuan’s group.

For cultivators in the Nirvana Cleansing realm, that short distance could be crossed in a blink.

Because of that, Jiang Chen’s sudden move left the Purple Crest Immortal Sect group stunned. None of them expected him to come to them on his own.

But in the next moment, Lu Tingguang, Sun Anming, and the other four broke into vicious grins. Their expressions twisted with excitement.

“Ahahaha! He’s panicking—he ran right into us!”

“Everyone, capture him alive. We’ll make him beg for death.”

“I’m going to skin him alive, and when it grows back, I’ll do it again!”

“And I’ll use my set of a hundred thousand Yin needles on him—stab him every day until he wants to die!”

They sneered, already imagining how they would torture Jiang Chen.

But before any of them could act, the prey in front of them calmly shifted into his dragon-human hybrid form. In the next breath, the crushing aura of the Void Tribulation realm erupted across the planet once more.

“What—!?” The cold sneers on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by sheer terror.

They were six Nirvana Cleansing realm powerhouses—figures who sat at the very top of Prosperous Stone Immortal Star’s hierarchy. Yet right now, they were scared to their core, their souls nearly flying apart.

They couldn’t even fight back. Their Void Tribulation-level hidden reserve was stored at the Purple Crest Immortal Sect headquarters, far from here.

Jiang Chen stepped forward, lifted his right dragon arm, and tore downward with lethal intent.

“Die.”

Whoosh—

You Shaojun, Sun Xiangyuan, Sun Anming, Sun Ancheng, Lu Tingze, and Lu Tingguang were shredded on the spot, their bodies ripped into dozens of pieces.

As the six of them died without even resisting, Jiang Chen frowned slightly. Hmm? No Void Tribulation-level hidden reserve.

That’s impossible. The Purple Crest Immortal Sect can compete with the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace—they must have one.

Either they can’t deploy it fast enough… or they can’t deploy it here, he guessed, gathering up the six corpses.

With this, all the Nirvana Cleansing realm powerhouses from the two strongest sects on Prosperous Stone Immortal Star were gone.

Most of the Nirvana Peering realm cultivators from the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace and the Purple Crest Immortal Sect had also been wiped out by Jiang Chen.

Those two top forces were now sects in name only.

At this point, only one place should still have Nirvana Cleansing realm cultivators. Jiang Chen looked toward a lone island at the center of the northern pole of Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.

That was the Profound Jade Immortal Alliance’s outpost.

The Profound Jade Immortal Alliance will probably hear about all this soon, he thought.

They’ll definitely cause trouble for me. I should boost my strength first. With the qi and blood energy I’ve collected, I have enough to cultivate a Void Tribulation–level method. Time to build the foundation.

Jiang Chen settled on that plan and then spoke to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning inside the Void Tribulation Soulring:

“Wan’er, Ning’er, pick the cultivation method that suits me best right now.”

Without wasting any time, the two women immediately searched through their collection of cultivation methods.

Before long, they picked out a secret art called Nine Heavens Mountains and Rivers Diagram. It was a Void Tribulation–level cultivation method that covered a wide range of Great Dao laws.

Once cultivated to the Perfect stage, it allowed a cultivator to grasp the deeper insights of many complete and fragmented Great Dao laws.

On top of that, this method would help Jiang Chen adapt faster to the Void Tribulation realm and lay the groundwork for the early stage of the Great Dao Immortal Body’s self-containment.

When a cultivator steps into the Void Tribulation realm, the fusion of many Great Dao laws brings their connection with the natural universe extremely close. This makes it easy for them to communicate with the Dao of heaven and earth again and again.

But no individual can compare to the vast, endless universe.

Because of this close link, a Void Tribulation realm cultivator—while constantly using the Great Dao laws—can slowly be assimilated by the power of the universe. If that happens, they lose their consciousness.

Losing consciousness is basically the same as dying. Cultivators who fall into this state are called Great Dao Vessels.

After their minds fade away, their bodies don’t die right away. Instead, they keep moving on instinct, guided unconsciously by the laws of the natural world, until they eventually perish for one reason or another.

Great Dao Vessels can still cultivate and grow stronger. And because they’re being assimilated by the universe itself, their rate of improvement can be extremely fast.
