Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: A Power Leap into the Inquiring Journey Realm Chapter 120: A Power Leap into the Inquiring Journey Realm After assimilating the power of the Death Calamity True Dragon’s bloodline, Jiang Chen experienced a massive boost in his abilities across the board.

Consider his physical strength.

Currently, it had ascended to the Inquiring Journey realm!

Additionally, his soul underwent significant enhancement, and he mastered a unique eye technique known as the Death Calamity Pupil.

This eye technique, much like the Soul Stirring Needle, fell under the umbrella of offensive abilities.

Combining the two, he could destroy the soul of a cultivator at the Peak-stage of the Mysterious Platform realm with just one look.

Even a cultivator from the Heavenly Origin realm, if caught in such a stare, would endure serious mental damage, almost pushing them to the edge of losing their sanity!

Furthermore, Jiang Chen had also mastered the mystical Dragon Transformation art.

When he activated this technique and transformed into a dragon, his overall combat strength experienced yet another substantial increase.

Currently, he could only display certain aspects of the dragon’s form, mostly keeping his human appearance.

However, as his cultivation progressed, the power of his Dragon Transformation would keep growing stronger, inching closer to the formidable presence of the Death Calamity True Dragon itself.

Ultimately, he would move beyond mere resemblance and accomplish the remarkable transformation into a true dragon!

“Incredible!” Jiang Chen exclaimed, his eyes burning with a fresh intensity as he worked to control his surging excitement.

“The strength that comes from this bloodline is truly remarkable!” After a short while, he managed to calm his enthusiasm, resolving to focus on further solidifying his advancements.

Having taken stock of and used all the advantages he gained from the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, Jiang Chen’s focus now shifted to the rewards from the System he hadn’t yet explored.

This time, after the protagonist, Ye Fan, met his end, his accumulated Black Heavenly Fate Value surpassed ten thousand, triggering an upgrade of the System Mall to Level 2.

Following the upgrade of the System Mall, Jiang Chen received a variety of benefits from the gift package.

These included a Dao Palace-level spiritual plant known as the Primordial Essence Moist Flower, a top-grade Dao Palace-level pill called the Nine Suns Dao Harmony True Pill, and a Dao Palace-level storage artifact, the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring.

Additionally, he received ten random natural treasures of the Dao Comprehension rank, a hundred random natural treasures of the Inquiring Journey rank, and an impressive thousand random natural treasures of the Heavenly Origin rank.

Jiang Chen had already put the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring to use, but he hadn’t yet utilized the other treasures.

“Let’s start with the spiritual plants!” Jiang Chen said to himself, full of eagerness and anticipation.

He began to sort through the wealth of natural treasures he’d acquired, pulling out all the spiritual plants.

Among the variety of treasures were not only these plants but also unique ores and other items.

Jiang Chen’s collection of spiritual plants included two hundred eighty-three of the Heavenly Origin rank, twenty-one of the Inquiring Journey rank, three of the Dao Comprehension rank, and one of the Dao Palace rank.

‘The spiritual plants of the Heavenly Origin rank aren’t much use to me now,’ Jiang Chen thought, his internal reflections marked by a keen judgment.

‘They’re not potent enough for what I need.

Turning them into pills for the girls later seems like the better move.’ Having decided, he set aside the Heavenly Origin rank spiritual plants and turned his attention to those from the Inquiring Journey rank, laying them out before him.

Unlike the Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng, which was considered a quasi-spiritual plant of the Inquiring Journey rank, the twenty-one spiritual plants from the System’s gift package were of considerably higher potency, each being among the most sought-after within the Inquiring Journey rank.

With everything set up to his satisfaction, Jiang Chen nodded, swiftly grabbed a spiritual plant, toyed with it between his fingers, and then popped it into his mouth, swallowing it in one go.

Immediately, an incredibly powerful medicinal energy surged into his Dantian, eagerly absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

As the energy infused with the lotus, faint traces of crimson started to flicker across its surface, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Looking at the subtly transformed Burning World Red Lotus, Jiang Chen’s heart filled with joy.

‘These Inquiring Journey-level spiritual plants really do work!’ he thought with a sense of victory.

With his determination renewed, he continued to quietly consume the remaining spiritual plants laid out before him.

Crunch!

Crunch!

One after another, the spiritual plants, coveted even by the powerhouses of the Inquiring Journey realm, were consumed by Jiang Chen and absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

Within moments, the last Inquiring Journey-level spiritual plant disappeared into Jiang Chen’s eager mouth.

The Burning World Red Lotus now glowed with a distinct crimson light.

Jiang Chen’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he began to consume the Dao Comprehension-level spiritual plants without delay.

The moment he swallowed the first one, a terrifying surge of medicinal energy exploded within him, nearly overpowering his senses with its sheer force.

A wave of imminent danger swept through Jiang Chen, making him feel as though he was on the verge of bursting apart.

Yet, despite the initial turmoil, no harm came to pass.

The overpowering medicinal energy was faithfully absorbed and assimilated by the Burning World Red Lotus.

Jiang Chen refrained from examining the changes in the Burning World Red Lotus again.

Unfazed, he went ahead and consumed the last two Dao Comprehension-level spiritual plants and the single spiritual plant of the Dao Palace rank.

As the Burning World Red Lotus absorbed the immense medicinal energy, this once parched lotus appeared to rehydrate slightly.

Initially, the Burning World Red Lotus was completely dried out, lacking any vibrant color.

Over time, its petals began to unfold, showing hints of their past lushness.

Now, the lotus had revived from a completely withered condition to a semi-withered state, recovering a significant amount of its former vitality.

The revival of the Burning World Red Lotus brought considerable advantages to Jiang Chen.

A significant amount of unique energy emanated from the lotus, constantly boosting his aptitude and accelerating his cultivation progress.

In an instant, Jiang Chen’s cultivation base not only became fully consolidated but also broke through the barrier of the Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm, propelling him straight into the Late-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm!

Furthermore, Jiang Chen could clearly sense that his physical body was undergoing an even deeper purification process, becoming more refined and indicating a significant enhancement in his cultivation aptitude.

‘The Burning World Red Lotus is truly something else,’ Jiang Chen marveled, his amazement clear in his thoughts.

‘To advance my cultivation base by two minor realms in just one go-this feeling is absolutely thrilling!’ ‘Now, the real question is: how much has my true combat power increased?’ With eyes brimming with anticipation, he mentally instructed the System to display his attribute panel.

He thought to himself, ‘My true combat power matches that of the Middle-stage of the Inquiring Journey realm, which is truly incredible!’ ‘And when I transform into my dragon-human hybrid form, my fighting capabilities will definitely skyrocket!’ Feeling the overwhelming power coursing through him, Jiang Chen felt a sense of security for the first time, reassured by his newfound strength.

However, he was acutely aware that this level of power was far from sufficient.

The extraordinary abilities granted to protagonists by Heavenly Fate frequently surpassed all expectations; his current status in the Inquiring Journey realm was not particularly impressive.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen calmed his thoughts, firmly resolving to proceed with his cultivation.

After all, the level of one’s cultivation base always remained the crucial foundation.

‘Now that my cultivation base has advanced to the Late-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm,’ Jiang Chen reflected, ‘the benefits of the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill have dwindled to nothing.’ Yet, he wasn’t worried, as the Nine Suns Dao Harmony True Pill he had acquired from the Level 2 System Mall Upgrade Big Gift Package promised similar advantages, but tailored for the Second Step of the Cultivation Path.

‘But before tackling that, I aim to reach the Peak-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm,’ he determined.

‘And to speed up this journey, it seems the right moment has come to use the accumulated Villain Value points to exchange for some powerful pills.’ With this resolve, Jiang Chen accessed the System Mall’s interface, specifically heading to the Pills section.

With a substantial stash of 25,900 Villain Value points at his disposal, he was well-equipped to acquire pills that could propel his cultivation base towards the pivotal point needed for a breakthrough.

Soon, Jiang Chen’s focus settled on a pill of the Heavenly Origin rank-the Heavenly Cauldron Qi Mysterious Pill.

The quality of this pill was outstanding, almost exceeding the boundaries of the Heavenly Origin rank, with effects that were truly remarkable.

As expected, the price was higher than that of typical Heavenly Origin-level pills.

Acquiring a top-grade Heavenly Cauldron Qi Mysterious Pill required spending 5,000 Villain Value points.

‘Three Heavenly Cauldron Qi Mysterious Pills should do the trick,’ Jiang Chen concluded.

Once his choices were finalized, he quickly executed the exchange through the system, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
