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

This spatial channel was the same one through which the last human cultivators had secretly attacked the demon race’s rear lines a million years ago!

Ji Mingxiu and the other Dao Palace realm experts stared at the massive channel, their faces showing determination and seriousness.

There was a sense of uncertainty. No one knew if stronger demon beings were waiting on the other side.

"We can’t wait any longer. Let’s go!" Jiang Chen said after scanning the group. He was the first to step into the spatial channel.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Bottomless Abyss, the lowest layers had been completely uncovered, revealing almost an entire underground world!

At the center of this dark domain, a massive spatial channel floated, its enormous diameter stretching for several kilometers!

Within the channel, thick dark gray mist swirled and twisted, moving restlessly.

Ominous ripples of energy spread from it, sending a cold, unsettling aura through the air.

Directly beneath the spatial channel, a grand formation altar stood, cast in its shadow.

The main purpose of this altar was to strengthen and support the power of the spatial channel.

Many members of the Nether Soul Demon Clan were busy working to refine the altar, trying to perfect it. Their goal was to stabilize the channel even more, allowing stronger demon beings to pass through.

Suddenly, a terrified scream echoed through the underground depths, "Disaster! Lord Bo Lang and his entire army have fallen!" The voice was filled with pure fear, causing chaos to break out in the vast chamber.

Several panicked Dao Comprehension realm demons wasted no time, rushing into the spatial channel.

Desperate cries rang out: "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"Lord Bo Lang and his entire army have been wiped out! The main army will surely be furious and send reinforcements!"

"Increase the power of the spatial channel now!"

The demon race’s cultivators gathered beneath the spatial channel, pouring their combined energy into the altar to strengthen the channel.

But just as they were focused on channeling their energy, a strong spatial wave surged from behind them. Suddenly, a gray, vortex-like spatial channel appeared.

Got it! Here’s a revision without redundancy:

Almost immediately, a remarkably handsome young man with a cold, emotionless expression stepped out of the spatial channel. Without a word, he launched his attack.

"A human powerhouse has invaded!" one demon screamed, panic clear in his voice.

"It’s a Transcendence realm human! Everyone, run!"

Fear spread quickly through the demon ranks, causing them to scatter in all directions.

"Die," Jiang Chen said coldly. Without even drawing his sword, hundreds of sword lights shot out from him, striking at the demons gathered before him.

"Run!" The demon cultivators fled in panic, most rushing toward the spatial channel for refuge.

But they couldn’t escape quickly enough.

To make things worse, Jiang Chen’s sword lights seemed to track them, relentlessly following their every move.

The sound of swords slicing through flesh echoed constantly.

In the blink of an eye, every last demon was struck down, none escaping the attack.

As the demon race’s members fell, the spatial forces within the channel grew more chaotic.

It was then that Ji Mingxiu and the others emerged from the spatial channel.

Looking at the scattered bodies, they all gasped in surprise. When their eyes turned to Jiang Chen, they were filled with deep respect and awe.

"Is this the altar that supports the spatial channel?" Jiang Chen wondered aloud, stepping forward to examine the altar closely.

"Jiang Chen, hold off on destroying it. It seems no demons have entered the spatial channel for now," Nangong Wan’s voice echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

"She’s right," Shangguan Ning said, examining the channel. "The state of this spatial channel shows it hasn’t been used for some time. Let’s wait until the main force of the demon race enters before we take action."

With a confident tone, she added, "With our help, you can destroy the channel completely, making sure no future threats remain."

"To deceive the demon race on the other side," Nangong Wan suggested, "you should keep the spatial channel open. We’ll stay by your side to assist."

"Hmm, I’ll follow your advice," Jiang Chen nodded. Trusting Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, who were both Void Tribulation realm experts skilled in the Dao of Space, he believed their judgment on the spatial channel was sound.

With that, Jiang Chen activated the Void Tribulation Soulring again, drawing on the deep knowledge of the Space Dao from both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

Soon after, Jiang Chen stood at the entrance of the spatial channel, channeling his Dao Origin Power to maintain it. With his enhanced strength, he surpassed even the combined power of the entire demon army.

Within moments, the spatial channel became stable.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxiu and the other cultivators held back any doubts.

Their trust in Jiang Chen was absolute.

To them, every move he made was purposeful and calculated.

...

On the other side of the spatial channel, a massive continent floated in the endless expanse of the cosmic void.

The continent was vast, its surface covered by an endless layer of dark mist, filled with a heavy demonic aura.

This was the heart of the demon race’s army: the Myriad Demons Continent.

Similar to the Immortal Martial Continent, the Myriad Demons Continent had been shaped from countless stars by a powerful being.

In terms of size, the Myriad Demons Continent was even larger than the Immortal Martial Continent. Through the continuous efforts of the demon race, its cultivation environment had reached the Third Step of the Cultivation Path.

At this moment, the demon forces were gathering.

Their encampment stretched across the horizon, home to millions of demons and demonic beasts.

The air was thick with the presence of powerful beings. Dozens were from the Transcendence realm, matching the strength of Jiu Xiaoyin.

But above all stood a cultivator from the Nirvana Peering realm, who served as the supreme commander of this immense army.

Inside a towering black building shaped like the tip of a spear, several Transcendence realm demon powerhouses were engaged in deep conversation.

"Hasn’t Bo Lang, along with Jiu Xiaoyin, already secured the Immortal Martial Continent?" one asked, impatience clear in his voice.

"It’s been so long. Given the strength of the Immortal Martial Continent, Bo Lang and his team should have completely subdued it by now!"

"It’s only a matter of time. Once we’ve taken the Immortal Martial Continent and filled it with our demonic spiritual energy, the Great Dao of heaven and earth will shift subtly. This will speed up the stabilization of the spatial channel. After that, crossing it will be no challenge."

As they spoke, their eyes frequently turned toward the immense spatial channel, filled with both anticipation and urgency.

Suddenly, several Dao Comprehension realm demons emerged from the spatial channel, their faces a picture of panic as they rushed toward the waiting demon army.

"What’s going on?" a Transcendence realm demon immediately asked.

"What happened to the Immortal Martial Continent?" another demanded sharply.

The arrival of these newcomers immediately changed the expressions of the powerhouses who had been conversing. An instinctive sense told them that something significant had happened on the Immortal Martial Continent.

Sure enough, as the Dao Comprehension realm demons quickly explained, a wave of high-ranking demons stood up together, their faces filled with shock and fury!

"What did you say?!" one of them exclaimed, unable to believe his ears.

"Bo Lang and his forces were completely wiped out? How is that possible? Could the Immortal Martial Continent really have a Transcendence realm powerhouse?"

"However, after all these years of investigation, the Immortal Martial Continent never showed any signs of having Transcendence realm power. They couldn’t have produced any. Their peak was the Half-step Transcendence realm!"

"Moreover, even if an Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator appeared, they shouldn’t be able to defeat both Jiu Xiaoyin and Bo Lang!"

"What in the world happened?!"

The Transcendence realm powerhouses of the demon race were filled with shock and confusion.
