Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

"Stop your arrogance and give your life to me!" Yu Hong, in his gray robes, looked at them with murderous eyes. Without holding back, he released the power of the Early-stage Transcendence realm, aiming at the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators.

"You’re facing me." Jiu Xiaoyin, ignoring his injuries, gathered his power to the Early-stage Transcendence realm. He turned into a dark beam and stopped Yu Hong.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two collided with intense force, and the impact echoed through the area.

To prevent their battle from harming the human cultivators, Yu Hong had to use some of his power to stop the lingering energy. This put him at a small disadvantage.

A loud, deep laugh filled the air. "Ha ha ha ha!"

"The human Transcendence realm powerhouse has been stopped, attack!"

"With Lord Bo Lang holding the line, not only will these human prodigies die, but that human powerhouse will also fall!"

"Today, we will destroy the Lustrous Yang Domain, leaving no one alive!"

Powerful Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators charged towards the arena. Their overwhelming presence made the faces of the prodigies inside turn pale.

A young prodigy gasped in shock, "How is this possible?!"

"With such an army of Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators, victory is impossible!"

"Damn it, we’re trapped!"

The human prodigies’ faces showed despair. They were talented, but still in the early stages of their journey.

Faced with so many Dao Palace realm enemies, their will to fight was crushed by a sense of helplessness.

Bang! Bang!

Loud thuds echoed as the demon race attacked the protective formation around the arena.

Spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread across the barrier of the formation, making it look like it would break apart at any moment.

"Holy Son Jiang Chen, you need to leave!" Peng Shi at the Dao Palace realm stared hard at Jiang Chen and said, "You’re the only hope for our Immortal Martial Continent. Many of us can die, but not you!"

Many voices quickly agreed, "Exactly!"

Another urgently shouted, "Holy Son Jiang Chen, we’ll cover you. Escape now!"

"We’ll do the same!" The other prodigies locked their determined gazes on the demon race’s powerhouses outside the formation, ready to sacrifice their lives to ensure Jiang Chen’s escape.

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile as he looked at the demon race beyond the formation, choosing not to say anything.

Then, with a sharp sound, the protective formation around the arena shattered, turning into countless points of light that scattered into the sky.

A heavy, dark demonic aura, like a fierce beast, surrounded the prodigies on the stage in an instant.

"Holy Son Jiang Chen, run!" Peng Shi shouted, determined to die, as he charged directly at the Dao Palace realm demons of the demon race.

The other prodigies, without hesitation, shouted and rushed toward the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators, as if walking toward their doom.

Cold, cruel laughter echoed through the arena. "Hehehehe!"

"Like lambs going willingly to the slaughterhouse. This will be fun!"

"The taste of desperation!"

"That female cultivator, don’t touch her! I have special plans for her!"

One after another, the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators laughed wickedly as they joined the attack.

Among them, five Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators focused on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stood out clearly, making him an irresistible target they had to pursue!

In an instant, their numbers grew, with seventeen Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators surrounding them.

The overwhelming pressure felt like the heavens themselves were about to crush Jiang Chen and his companions, and anyone watching could see their fate seemed sealed.

But Jiang Chen whispered softly, "Thank you for your good intentions."

"However, none of us will fall today."

As he spoke, seventeen sword lights erupted from him without warning.

This was the Death Attraction Nine Tribulations Sword Technique combined with the arcane arts of the Myriad Changes Everlasting Sword Technique. Each of the seventeen sword lights carried power equal to the Half-step Transcendence realm!

At that moment, an overwhelming sense of dread gripped the hearts of the demon race’s Dao Palace realm powerhouses. The fear was so strong that it seemed their very hairs might stand on end!

"What is this...?" one of them shouted in disbelief.

"How can Jiang Chen have such tremendous battle power?"

"We’re in big trouble! We can’t withstand the power of the Half-step Transcendence realm!"

"No! This can’t be! I don’t want to die!"

"Run, everyone run!"

The once fearsome Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators were now overwhelmed with fear. They scattered in panic, abandoning their original targets.

But the sword lights Jiang Chen had unleashed were like silver dragons in the sky, relentlessly pursuing their targets.

"These sword beams... they’re following us?! How is this possible?" one demon shouted in sheer terror.

"No, no! Lord Jiu Xiaoyin, Lord Bo Lang, help us!"

"Despicable human, I won’t go down without a fight!"

Fear was clear in the eyes of the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators. While some cried out desperately for help, others gathered their courage and prepared to fight back.

Meanwhile, both Jiu Xiaoyin and Bo Lang’s expressions changed drastically, their faces filled with sheer astonishment.

Had Jiang Chen really unleashed seventeen strikes, each carrying the power of the Half-step Transcendence realm? Could this mean his battle strength was on par with the Transcendence realm?

The thought was staggering, unimaginable, and hard to accept!

Jiang Chen’s sudden surge of power caught Jiu Xiaoyin and Bo Lang completely off guard, leaving them unable to intervene.

Jiu Xiaoyin was already locked in battle with Yu Hong. As for Bo Lang, even if he ignored his injuries, gathering the strength of the Transcendence realm was not something he could do instantly. It required a moment of focus.

But in that brief moment, a span that felt like an eternity for beings in the Transcendence realm, the battlefield was completely turned upside down!

Bo Lang thrust out his hand, desperately channeling his Transcendence realm strength in an attempt to stop Jiang Chen’s blazing sword beams. But he could only watch in horror, realizing he was a fraction too late. The painful sight of Jiang Chen’s sword beams piercing the skulls of his fellow demons filled his vision.

The chilling sound of swords slicing through skulls echoed repeatedly.

The once defiant faces of the Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators twisted in terror before they fell, their voices silenced forever.

Among the human cultivators, the sight sparked waves of cheers and excitement.

But for Bo Lang and Jiu Xiaoyin, it only fueled a rage that seemed endless!

"Jiang Chen, you are nothing! I swear I’ll kill you!" Bo Lang’s eyes burned even redder, his robes billowing violently as a terrifying aura from the Transcendence realm erupted from him, charging toward Jiang Chen.

Now fully caught in the battle, his strength surged to the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

"Let’s see who kills who!" Jiang Chen shot back with a cold smirk. With a simple flick of his hand, both the Wordless Heavenly Jade and the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline came to life. The Wordless Heavenly Jade sucked away all the qi and blood energy from the seventeen Dao Palace realm demons and demonic cultivators he had just defeated, while the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline took a tenth of their cultivation base.

"Die!" In the blink of an eye, Bo Lang appeared before Jiang Chen, his long-handled scythe cutting through the air with the crushing power of the grim reaper.

The overwhelming might of the Middle-stage Transcendence realm exploded, with countless laws of the Great Dao swirling in a dark storm, instantly changing the very colors of heaven and earth!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and quickly unleashed his full power.

With the vast cultivation base he had just gained, he immediately broke through to the Late-stage Dao Palace realm.

In a flash, he transformed into his dragon-human hybrid form: his eyes grew long and narrow, his face became sharper, and majestic purple dragon horns rose from his forehead. His entire body was covered in black and purple crystalline dragon scales, and his hands turned into fearsome dragon claws.

Then, the Heavenly Bloodsurge Forbidden Art activated, and thick plumes of blood mist erupted, swirling around him.

But the spectacle didn’t stop there!

Within a heartbeat, the souls of Jiang Chen, Shangguan Ning, and Nangong Wan merged together, allowing Jiang Chen to briefly harness the power of two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses.

A flood of Great Dao laws, far surpassing than Bo Lang’s, spread through heaven and earth in an instant, overpowering Bo Lang’s laws of the Great Dao with unmatched might.
