Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Tipping the Balance Chapter 234: Tipping the Balance With everything in place, Jiang Chen retrieved a Dao Comprehension-rank Nether Soul Crystal.

Clasping his hands and entwining his fingers, he held the crystal securely within his palms.

Immediately, the Dao Origin Power within him began to circulate through a unique pathway.

With the assistance of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Jiang Chen’s soul force carefully connected with the Nether Soul Crystal, gradually purifying it.

Everything progressed smoothly.

Before long, the first Nether Soul Crystal was completely purified.

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning watched with eager anticipation as Jiang Chen placed the purified crystal between his eyebrows, preparing to activate a secret art.

In an instant, a massive surge of incredibly pure soul force flooded into the Void Tribulation Soulring.

“Such immense soul energy!” Shangguan Ning gasped, her eyes widening in awe.

Nangong Wan nodded, equally impressed.

“The restoration speed is faster than directly absorbing power from the cultivation base!” “My soul has already rebounded to the Inquiring Journey realm, and it’s still regenerating.

This is incredible!” Both Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, feeling their own souls strengthen, were overwhelmed with joy, on the verge of tears.

…

Time continued to pass steadily.

Outside, the battle raged on.

Believing that Jiang Chen had withdrawn because his secret art had run its course, Long Tianlu grew more confident, assuming Jiang Chen wouldn’t have the strength for another fight soon.

He remained cautious, unwilling to aggravate his injuries by drawing on his Transcendence realm power.

Even so, as the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

Despite Long Tianlu’s restraint, Mo Yu’s injuries worsened to the point where he had no choice but to consume half of the Jade Thunder Vigor Infusion Pill.

Without it, he would be risking his life if he pushed the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword any further.

After consuming the pill, Mo Yu’s strength surged, allowing him to continue his intense battle with Long Tianlu.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber beneath the Purple Heaven Grand Hall, Jiang Chen worked diligently, purifying each Nether Soul Crystal he had collected.

He used them to restore the residual souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

By the time all the crystals had been used, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning’s souls had returned to the Dao Palace realm!

At this point, both were integral parts of Jiang Chen’s Heaven-Defying Fate Changer, their souls embedded in the Void Tribulation Soulring, directly strengthening him.

Previously, the souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were only at the Heavenly Origin realm.

With the Void Tribulation Soulring’s initial boost, they had helped Jiang Chen’s soul reach the Dao Comprehension realm.

Now, after their restoration to the Dao Palace realm, Jiang Chen’s soul had also ascended to the Dao Palace realm.

But the process wasn’t finished yet.

The mysterious enlightening energy stored within the Wordless Heavenly Jade remained untapped.

Jiang Chen planned to cultivate techniques that would not only strengthen his soul but also grant him powerful soul-based attacks.

Following the advice of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, he chose two soul-based techniques: the One Thought Vanishing Moon Art and the Silent Sacred Heart Sutra.

Both could enhance the soul, with the former providing offensive capabilities and the latter offering soul-based defense.

Additionally, he selected body refinement techniques, including the Tyrant Body Ultimate Intent Art, the Benevolent Monarch Heavenly Wheel Scripture, and the Heavenly Bloodsurge Forbidden Art-a self-inflicting power-boosting technique.

Each of these cultivation methods was at the Dao Palace rank.

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind as he summoned the Wordless Heavenly Jade within his heart.

In just moments, he had fully mastered all five cultivation methods to the Perfect level.

Each of these perfected Dao Palace-rank techniques significantly enhanced both his soul and body.

At this point, his soul had already reached the Peak-stage of the Dao Palace realm.

If not for the lower realm of his cultivation base limiting the full potential of these methods, Jiang Chen might have even approached the brink of the Half-step Transcendence realm.

Meanwhile, his physical strength surged from within.

In his Dantian and meridians, the capacity for Dao Origin Power expanded tenfold.

The flow of Origin Power he could channel while casting Daoist spells also increased drastically.

‘System, show my status!’ With a mental command, Jiang Chen called up his detailed information.

My combat power has surged across two major realms compared to my cultivation base!’ Jiang Chen marveled as he scanned his information panel.

‘This is the immense effect of the three Heaven-Defying Fate Changers!’ His heart brimmed with anticipation.

Wasting no time, he activated the concealment ability of the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring and swiftly exited the Purple Heaven Grand Hall.

Outside the Grand Formation of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, the conflict had reached a critical point.

Demonic beasts lay scattered across the battlefield, and many Holy Land disciples were either exhausted or had fallen in battle.

The protective light of the Grand Formation had dimmed and was becoming increasingly unstable.

High above, Mo Yu wielded the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword, locked in a relentless battle with Long Tianlu.

Mo Yu’s body was drenched in blood, and cracks marred his skin, the result of overusing his self-harming secret art.

Fortunately, the half of the Jade Thunder Vigor Infusion Pill Jiang Chen had provided offered external support.

Despite its side effects, it was far better than relying on a secret art that drained his life force.

Though Mo Yu was gravely injured and on the verge of collapse, he hadn’t yet reached the point of total exhaustion.

“Weak human, struggle, despair!” Long Tianlu sneered, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Seeing Mo Yu falter, he burst into a fit of deranged laughter.

“Hahaha!

This is the sight I relish most.” His voice echoed with sadistic delight.

In Long Tianlu’s mind, once Mo Yu fell, the entire Purple Heaven Holy Land would be powerless, like lambs waiting for slaughter, ready for him to ravage and defile.

The disciples who dared resist would be massacred, and the rest would be transformed into demonic cultivators, bound to serve under his command.

With the Purple Heaven Holy Land as his base, he could not only expand his reach more effectively but also solidify the space portal within the Bottomless Abyss, allowing more of the Nether Soul Demon Clan to invade!

In this way, unifying the Immortal Martial Continent would be within his grasp in just a matter of days.

While Long Tianlu reveled in his grand ambitions, Jiang Chen appeared silently behind him.

Heavenly Bloodsurge Forbidden Art!

Vigorous Sift Diagram!

Shattered Sky Secret Art!

With unwavering focus, Jiang Chen channeled his energy, his aura surging to the Peak-stage of the Dao Palace realm.

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning’s lingering souls merged with Jiang Chen’s, and using the One Thought Vanishing Moon Art, they unleashed a soul attack far beyond the strength of an ordinary Dao Palace realm cultivator.

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had once been formidable powerhouses, on the verge of reaching the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path.

Even though only their residual souls remained, their deep foundation at the Dao Palace realm made the soul attack they unleashed unmatched by anyone of the same realm.

With Jiang Chen’s own soul, various power-boosting secret arts, and the profound One Thought Vanishing Moon Art, the combined soul attack from the trio had nearly reached the level of the Transcendence realm!

The speed of the attack was astonishing, almost impossible to defend against.

Additionally, with Jiang Chen’s cultivation base enabling the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring’s concealment, by the time Long Tianlu sensed the danger, the attack had already hit!

In an instant, the unsuspecting Long Tianlu was struck brutally at the back of his neck by Jiang Chen’s soul attack from close range.

At the same time, Jiang Chen unleashed a torrent of Sword Dao power, bombarding Long Tianlu’s body with immense force.
