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

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin, deep in thought. The real demon race army has truly arrived this time.

Bo Lang and his group were just the first wave.

The Immortal Martial Continent isn’t as strong as it seems. Normally, Bo Lang and his vanguard should have been able to take control.

It looks like the Immortal Martial Continent isn’t their main target. It’s just a stepping stone.

Their real goal is probably the human lands beyond the Immortal Martial Continent!

His eyes narrowed. If I’m right, they’re aiming for the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.

At that moment, Jing Chengwang and the others finally arrived. The group of human prodigies gathered around, their faces filled with respect and admiration for Jiang Chen.

One of them rushed forward, eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Lord Jiang Chen!"

A dignified woman in elegant robes bowed her head respectfully. "Greetings, Lord Jiang Chen!"

Another man, his face marked with scars, clasped his hands together, his voice full of emotion. "Lord Jiang Chen, thank you for saving our disciples!"

A tall figure at the back, dressed in majestic clothing, spoke with firm conviction. "Lord Jiang Chen, you are the greatest figure in the Immortal Martial Continent, its true Lord!"

One by one, the cultivators paid their respects to Jiang Chen, their faces glowing with admiration and joy.

It was clear that Jiang Chen was a powerful force at the Transcendence realm!

After a million years, the Immortal Martial Continent had finally witnessed a mighty figure of the Transcendence realm.

Under Jiang Chen’s protection, the defenses of the Immortal Martial Continent were greatly strengthened.

Moreover, it became evident to everyone that this Immortal Martial Grand Assembly was a clever strategy created by Jiang Chen, meant to trap and destroy the demon race once and for all!

From this day forward, the recognition and respect for Jiang Chen would be wholehearted and unquestionable.

"Everyone, please," Jiang Chen said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, acknowledging each person.

Whispers began to spread, but he quieted them with a few words. "As for the title of Lord of the Immortal Martial Continent, let’s hold off on discussing it for now."

He took a step forward, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. "At this moment, I’ve only defeated the vanguard of the demon race. A much stronger demon army is still on its way!"

"What?!" A cultivator exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief, and many others shared the same shock.

"A stronger demon race army?!"

"If the vanguard of the demon race already had a powerhouse at the Transcendence realm, then the main force must be filled with even more powerful figures at the Third Step of the Cultivation Path!"

"There’s no need to worry. With Lord Jiang Chen here, the Immortal Martial Continent will be well protected!"

"Exactly! Lord Jiang Chen is wise and brave, unmatched in our world. The incoming demon race army isn’t something we should fear!"

After their initial shock, the cultivators’ expressions shifted from surprise to confidence, their faces glowing with assurance as they praised Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen remained calm, his gaze suddenly shifting toward the seas around Blackwood Island.

There, a group of demon race leaders from the Dao Comprehension realm led a large horde of demons and demonic cultivators. Rising from the underwater caverns, their faces twisted with malice, they charged toward this side. These were the vanguard of the demon race who had boldly traveled through the underwater passage from the Pure Frost Domain’s lake.

From the advancing lines, loud laughter rang out. "Hahaha!"

"Lord Jiu Xiaoyin and the others must have already wiped out all the human prodigies and Dao Palace realm cultivators. Those left are just prey for us to slaughter!"

"Quickly, quickly! We can’t let a single human escape. I want to destroy them all, leaving not even a dog or chicken standing!"

Filled with excitement over their supposed victory, the demons and demonic cultivators celebrated, completely unaware that Jiu Xiaoyin and his group had already met their end.

Remnants of the demon army stationed in the Pure Frost Domain? Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed. In a flash, he covered a distance of a hundred thousand kilometers. After several more quick movements, he stood directly in front of the demon race battalion.

From the center of the advancing group, a demon with blazing red eyes spoke in disbelief, "Is that... a human?"

Instantly, other demons and demonic cultivators at the Dao Comprehension realm turned their attention to Jiang Chen, halting their march for a moment.

But before they could react, a barrage of sword Qi shot forward, followed by the fierce blaze of the Burning World Raging Flames!

A demon chieftain shouted in panic, "That’s a powerhouse of the Transcendence realm!"

"How is this possible? When did humans have a Transcendence realm powerhouse?"

A piercing scream echoed, "No!!"

Struck with fear, the entire demon army froze. But within moments, they were ruthlessly cut down, their heads falling to the ground, victims of Jiang Chen’s swift and overwhelming power.

With a single thought, Jiang Chen activated the Wordless Heavenly Jade and the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline, immediately drawing in a massive flow of qi and blood energy, along with a substantial accumulation of cultivation essence.

In that instant, Jiang Chen felt his cultivation base grow stronger.

Though this isn’t as rich as the cultivation base from a Transcendence realm demon, it’s still quite valuable, Jiang Chen reflected. He waved his hand, dispersing the remaining demonic qi in the air, then headed back to Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island.

"Lord Jiang Chen!" The great powerhouses of the human race watched as Jiang Chen quickly returned, their faces showing some uncertainty.

Jiang Chen stood confidently among the human cultivators, his voice clear and commanding. "I’ve eliminated the remaining demon race vanguard from the Pure Frost Domain."

"But there are still remnants hiding within the Pure Frost Domain."

"I will lead you to the Pure Frost Domain to wipe out the last of the demon race forces."

"Furthermore, with the top-tier of the demon race vanguard defeated, those still in the Pure Frost Domain are surely aware and have already sent word."

"When they receive this intelligence, the main demon army will undoubtedly speed up their march."

He paused for a moment, letting his words sink in, then continued, "I leave the Pure Frost Domain in your hands. As for the demon race’s main force, I will lead the charge against them."

"Understood!" a voice called out from the crowd.

"We obey!" another answered.

"Just command us, Lord Jiang Chen!"

As Jiang Chen’s words echoed, a sea of cultivators bowed in respect, preparing for the battle ahead.

With a subtle nod, Jiang Chen took out the secret key to the Doomsday Cave Heaven and unlocked all its main and secondary gates.

Spatial portals quickly appeared across different domains, including the Purple Heaven Holy Land and the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect. Now, each territory was connected by a spatial channel.

Soon after, experts from the human race began entering the Doomsday Cave Heaven one after another.

With a determined step, Jiang Chen followed, entering the Doomsday Cave Heaven as well.

Above the crumbling inheritance peak, powerhouses from both the Dao Palace realm and the Dao Comprehension realm began to gather. It seemed that experts from every corner of the Immortal Martial Continent had now come together.

"Go! Beyond this spatial gate is the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect of the Pure Frost Domain," Jiang Chen announced, guiding a spatial portal to the Pure Frost Domain with a simple gesture.

"Yes!" Jing Chengwang and the others responded, moving quickly to enter the Pure Frost Domain.

...

Meanwhile, within the Pure Frost Domain, atop the majestic Clear Frost Moon Plucking Peak covered in pristine white snow, the remaining demon race forces were thrown into complete chaos.

For inside the sect, the Life Tablets of the powerhouses had suddenly shattered. No tablet remained intact, not even those belonging to the demon race’s strongest!

This dark omen meant that every member of the demon race’s forces—from prominent figures like Bo Lang and Jiu Xiaoyin to even the least significant members who had ventured into the Lustrous Yang Domain—had perished!

"How can this be?" one of the demons exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"What on earth happened?" another demon questioned, his gaze shifting nervously.

"Lord Bo Lang and Lord Jiu Xiaoyin are powerful figures of the Transcendence realm! It’s unimaginable that they could have fallen!"

"This is a disaster! We must inform the higher-ups immediately!"

The few remaining demon race experts guarding the area were struck with terror, their bodies trembling in fear. Without hesitation, they relayed the dire news to the communication team stationed deep within the Bottomless Abyss.

Boom!

Just as they sent the message, a spatial gate exploded open, tearing a massive rift in the sky.

Moments later, Jing Chengwang and his allies arrived, launching a fierce attack on the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect.

...

Inside the Doomsday Cave Heaven, Jiang Chen stood firm, his intense gaze locking onto Ji Mingxiu and the other human powerhouses present.

"Everyone," he said, his voice carrying authority, "The demons’ main army is about to descend."

"If they succeed in their invasion, even my strength might not be enough to stop them."

He paused for a moment, letting the gravity of his words sink in, then continued, "Therefore, they must be stopped!"

Without wasting any time, Jiang Chen channeled his Dao Origin Power into the secret key of the Doomsday Cave Heaven, holding it tightly.

In an instant, the existing spatial channels vanished.

In their place, a far larger spatial channel began to take shape, emerging from the remains of the inheritance peak!
