Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 493

Chapter 493: The Benefits of the Upgrade

After Jiang Chen locked onto the Full Moon Immortal Sword, the Deadly Whistle Immortal Dagger, and the Bright Dust Immortal Shield with his divine sense, he gave the order in his mind, System, use All Things Infinite Fusion on these three weapons.

[Ding! Perfect fusion complete. You’ve obtained a lower-grade Void Tribulation-level immortal tool: Death Moon Immortal Sword!]

The moment the notification appeared, the three immortal tools inside the Immortal Martial Mustard Seed drew together. Their forms twisted, merged, and gradually settled into a single brand-new immortal sword.

The Death Moon Immortal Sword didn’t come with a scabbard. Its blade rose tall like a sheer cliff face—imposing, clean, and unyielding.

A soft glow flowed along the length of the blade. It resembled moonlight: cool, steady, and clear, yet carrying a depth that pulled the eye.

Faint patterns shimmered around the sword’s edge. Space itself seemed to ripple as the sharpness of the blade quietly cut through the surrounding void.

Wisps of spirituality curled along the surface of the sword. Its presence wasn’t any weaker than the Silver Immortal Sword’s, and it felt only a step away from forming a true soul.

Jiang Chen drew the longsword out from the Immortal Martial Mustard Seed and studied it up close. It’s only a lower-grade Void Tribulation-level immortal sword, but it looks incredible.

And I can keep upgrading it later. As long as I find the right materials, its quality will rise nonstop. A small, satisfied smile tugged at his lips.

After putting the Death Moon Immortal Sword back into the Immortal Martial Mustard Seed, he focused on the system again. Bring up my personal information panel.

A moment later, his attribute panel unfolded before him.

Jiang Chen’s attribute panel laid out every detail about him with absolute clarity.

Under the Great Dao Laws section, fifty complete laws were listed. What made him stand out from other cultivators who had just stepped into the Void Tribulation realm was the extra Space Dao he carried.

My normal combat strength is above the Middle-stage of Void Tribulation realm. If I go all out, I should be able to hit the Late-stage, he estimated.

Even so, there’s still room to push my peak strength higher. The power of the Void Tribulation Soulring relies on Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning. As long as I help them improve, its power will rise naturally.

With that thought, he sent his divine sense into the Immortal Martial Mustard Seed.

Among the treasures he had collected, there were plenty of pills—especially ones meant to nourish and strengthen the soul.

They were exactly what Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning needed.

Jiang Chen and the two women began selecting through them together.

It didn’t take long before they had picked out every pill that was safe and useful.

Jiang Chen placed the selected pills into the Void Tribulation Soulring so Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning could use them to recover.

Once that was done, he took out several pieces of Space Essence Gold for Ying Luo.

Space Essence Gold was mainly used to help Void Tribulation realm cultivators comprehend the Space Dao, and secondarily as a material for forging space-related treasures.

Since Jiang Chen had already grasped the Space Dao and wasn’t short on spatial treasures for now, the Space Essence Gold was best used to help Ying Luo grow.

Ying Luo lit up the moment she received it. She wrapped herself around Jiang Chen for a bit, full of excitement, before darting into the Immortal Martial Mustard Seed to absorb the Space Essence Gold and cultivate.

Next, let’s check the changes to the Villain Eye. With that thought, Jiang Chen spread out his divine sense and activated the ability, sweeping it across a large group of human cultivators nearby.

Information panels appeared one after another, each showing the full set of attributes for the person he looked at.

So the upgraded Villain Eye really can show the information panel of any intelligent being. Humans, demons, monster races… anything with intelligence, I can check whenever I want. Jiang Chen’s eyes brightened. Information was a weapon, and the difference it created could decide a battle before it even began.

Next is the System Mall. With the new discounts—and over six million Villain Value points—there should be plenty of treasures worth taking. He opened the exchange interface.

Rows of items appeared instantly.

Weapons, pills, spiritual plants, and all kinds of treasures filled the list, and the prices were shockingly low.

The lower the item’s level, the cheaper it was.

The top-grade Nirvana Cleansing-level pill he had exchanged before—the Supreme Dao Gathering Immortal Pill—now cost only 100,000 Villain Value points.

Originally, it had been 600,000.

As for pills at the Void Tribulation level, their prices started at only two hundred thousand points.

Jiang Chen went ahead and exchanged for a Ninety-Nine Revolutions Spirit Heart Dao Pill. It cost five hundred thousand Villain Value points and was considered rare even among Void Tribulation-level pills.

Its effects weren’t explosive or immediate—it worked slowly over time.

Once taken, it boosted a cultivator’s comprehension of the Great Dao and even helped with the early stages of forming the self-contained loop of the Great Dao Immortal Body.

The value was incredible, so Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate. He traded for one and swallowed it on the spot.

The pill dissolved inside him, releasing a vast stream of medicinal power. A strange current surged through his body, and his mind sharpened at once. His thoughts flowed more smoothly, and his comprehension rose noticeably.

The Great Dao laws within him also reacted, linking together more naturally as they edged toward forming a complete closed loop.

Good. This pill is enough for now.

Next… let’s get some pills and resources for the girls.

A faint chuckle escaped him. Honestly, every time the system upgrades and drops the prices, the ones who benefit the most are probably them. The more protagonists I take out, the easier their cultivation becomes. It’s almost unfair how smooth their path is going to be.

Still smiling, he reached out to his women one by one to see what they needed.

With the kind of Villain Value he had now, he didn’t need to hold back. Whatever they asked for, he planned to buy it.
