Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Unfulfilled Ambitions Chapter 211: Unfulfilled Ambitions As time marched on, the battlefield between the two Dao Comprehension realm combatants stretched across the entire expanse of the Black Heavenly Plain.

What had once been a vast plain, densely blanketed with black vegetation, had been utterly transformed into a desolate marshland.

The land, once solid beneath the weight of its ancient flora, was now reduced to a quagmire of mud and decay.

Mountains were leveled to rubble, and rivers that once flowed with life were obliterated, leaving nothing but barren stretches in their wake.

Any creature that hadn’t managed to flee in time had long since perished, with not a single intact corpse remaining.

The sheer destructive force of the battle had reduced them to unrecognizable remnants.

Atop a colossal peak-its summit sheared clean off by the fallout of the clash-Fang Yuan stood, rooted to the ground.

His gaze was riveted on the aerial battlefield, where the relentless combat between Jiang Chen and the three-headed demonic python raged on.

His expression was complex, a mixture of conflicting emotions that played out in his eyes.

On one hand, Fang Yuan secretly hoped for Jiang Chen’s defeat.

If the three-headed python managed to kill him, it would rid Fang Yuan of a dangerous rival, removing one of the greatest threats standing in his way.

The thought of Jiang Chen falling in battle carried a dark allure.

But on the other hand, an undercurrent of dread ran through him.

Jiang Chen’s death would be far from a relief.

If Jiang Chen perished here, Fang Yuan knew with a sinking certainty that he would be the next to face the beast’s fury.

And against the full force of the Dao Comprehension realm three-headed demonic python, his chances of survival were slim.

The three-headed python would hunt him down without hesitation, and escape would be nearly impossible.

Moreover, Fang Yuan’s greatest obsession was the pursuit of power-power that would one day allow him to surpass and conquer Jiang Chen himself.

As he watched the fierce battle unfold between Jiang Chen and the three-headed demonic python, Fang Yuan’s mind was fixated on a different objective.

He sought to use this opportunity, not to intervene, but to study, to grasp the deeper mysteries of the Dao and strengthen himself.

He knew well that, in his current state, he lacked the capability to influence the outcome of this battle.

So, from the fringes of the battlefield, Fang Yuan silently observed, his eyes locked on Jiang Chen’s every movement.

“The Sword Dao… is it truly like this?

The mysteries of the Great Dao…

And my Spear Dao, should it follow…?” he murmured endlessly, lost in contemplation.

Gifted with the raw template of a genius protagonist, Fang Yuan’s aptitude was naturally exceptional-just shy of Jiang Chen, who possessed the unique advantage of the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

But even within the expansive Purple Heaven Holy Land and across the vast Everflowing Truth Domain, aside from Jiang Chen, there were few, if any, who could match his martial talent.

After all, Fang Yuan had honed the Fierce God Seven Killings Spear Technique-a martial skill of the Dao Comprehension rank-up to the Fifth Move while still only at the Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm.

That level of mastery had allowed him to glimpse into the threshold of the Dao Comprehension realm, giving him a taste of the immense power that lay beyond.

It was this combination of his superior martial talent and the intricate teachings of the Fierce God Seven Killings Spear Technique that made Fang Yuan’s progress so swift.

As he watched the ongoing battle, the subtleties of Jiang Chen’s movements, the principles behind the Sword Dao, sparked something within him.

In that moment, as he studied the clash of forces, Fang Yuan instinctively grasped several profound teachings of the Spear Dao.

But, despite his insight, there was a barrier he could not yet cross.

Without having ascended to the Inquiring Journey realm and without a fully formed Dao Core, he remained incapable of truly condensing the power of the Dao.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had been meticulously monitoring Fang Yuan’s every movement, his sharp eyes missing nothing-not even the faintest shift in expression.

Now that Fang Yuan was beginning to show the signs of intermittent comprehension, how could Jiang Chen possibly overlook it?

‘Trying to grasp the profound teachings of the Great Dao, are we?

Heh, wishful thinking!’ A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Jiang Chen’s lips.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen’s figure blurred, launching yet another fierce attack on the three-headed demonic python.

The air cracked with energy as his long sword streaked toward the beast.

In the next instant, a tail as massive as a celestial column swept across the sky, scattering the thick clouds above.

The force of the three-headed python’s swing was overwhelming.

Bang!!

Jiang Chen, gripping his sword tightly, clashed head-on with the beast’s colossal tail.

The impact was explosive, stripping dozens of thick, iron-like scales from the three-headed python’s body.

Yet, the sheer force of the strike sent him hurtling backward through the air, his momentum spiraling out of control.

And his trajectory?

Straight toward Fang Yuan.

“This is bad!” Fang Yuan’s instincts screamed danger as the shadow of Jiang Chen’s oncoming form loomed closer.

In an instant, he was wrenched out of his state of comprehension, the profound insights into the Spear Dao evaporating like mist into the void.

For a moment, frustration flared within him, but there was no time to dwell on it.

The looming crisis of life and death forced his hand.

Fang Yuan had no choice but to throw himself out of the way, dodging hastily toward the distance in a desperate bid for survival.

Rumble!

Jiang Chen collided with the colossal peak where Fang Yuan stood, his impact like that of a falling meteor.

The subsequent explosion was cataclysmic.

The entire massive peak disintegrated, crumbling as though it were made of mere foam, reduced to rubble in an instant.

Dust and debris filled the air, veiling the sky in chaos.

Caught in the violent detonation, Fang Yuan barely managed to control his descent, his body flung through the air like a fragile willow catkin in a raging tempest.

As he struggled to regain control, a thunderous crash echoed above him.

A gargantuan boulder, dislodged by the destruction, plummeted from the sky, hurtling straight towards him.

Fang Yuan’s eyes widened, panic flashing across his face.

With no time to spare, he swiftly pulled out his long spear, aiming to shatter the incoming rock.

But just as his spear was about to meet the boulder, the ground beneath him darkened.

The three-headed demonic python, sensing an opportunity, lunged toward him with terrifying speed.

Its massive form cast an enormous shadow, completely swallowing Fang Yuan in its reach.

He could feel the pressure of death bearing down on him.
