Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Heavenly Fate’s Meddling Chapter 249: Heavenly Fate’s Meddling At that moment, system prompts echoed within Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, bringing a smile to his lips.

[Ding!

You have slightly altered the plot, successfully preventing the protagonist, Gu Ran, from showing off and claiming victory.

Gu Ran’s Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 300 points!] [Ding!

You have earned 600 Villain Value points!] The great powerhouse who had conveniently “passed by” Gu Ran, Fu Huacan, and his lackeys was, of course, none other than Jiang Chen himself.

Throughout the entire event, he remained hidden, not once revealing his aura, cultivation base, or even a hint of his divine sense.

The whole thing was quietly overseen by Nangong Wan.

That cold snort?

It, too, came from Nangong Wan.

This way, Gu Ran would remain unaware of Jiang Chen’s existence, allowing Jiang Chen to maintain his advantage in information secrecy.

By intervening, Jiang Chen successfully thwarted the dandy cultivator, Fu Huacan, from “lending a helping hand” to Gu Ran, bringing this plotline to a temporary halt.

However, under the sway of Heavenly Fate, Fu Huacan and his group were destined to cross paths with Gu Ran again.

This would eventually lead to hostility and, ultimately, their downfall.

After Gu Ran clashed with the Fu Clan of Black Wood Island, his path would soon intersect with the Feng Clan as well, drawn in by the ties between the Fu and Feng Clans and other underlying connections… To prevent any of this from unfolding, Jiang Chen decided to return to Black Wood Island and continue his covert interference in Gu Ran’s storyline, halting any chance of a triumphant rise.

With this plan in mind, Jiang Chen prepared to set out for Black Wood Island.

But at that very moment, a chilling, earth-shaking roar erupted from the nearby seabed.

Roar- In its wake, it felt as if an underwater volcano had exploded, sending shockwaves through the water.

A massive column of seawater blasted up from the seabed, rising into a monstrous wave before crashing down with terrifying force.

Boom!

As if a towering peak had collapsed into the ocean, enormous waves surged outward, sweeping across the area!

Amid this chaos, an extraordinarily powerful aura blanketed a vast section of the surrounding sea.

This aura… there was no doubt-it belonged to the Dao Palace realm!

Beyond this potent aura, a faint tinge of scarlet began to spread across the ocean and sky.

Sensing the subtle traces of Demonic Spiritual Qi in the air, Jiang Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Don’t tell me… is this a surge of Demonic Spiritual Qi?” How is this possible?

How could Demonic Spiritual Qi erupt here in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea?

The Purple Heaven Holy Land only just defeated Long Tianlu and repelled the Nether Demon Clan.

Could the demons really have launched another invasion here so soon?

Questions raced through Jiang Chen’s mind-until a sudden realization struck him.

This sudden demonic invasion of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea undoubtedly had something to do with the protagonist, Gu Ran!

After all, how could Gu Ran, as the protagonist, not be part of a monumental event like a demon invasion of the Immortal Martial Continent?

He was destined to fight against the demons, carving a path to power.

Along this journey, he would make a name for himself, striving for the title of the number one prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent.

Eventually, he would face off against Jiang Chen, showcasing his strength and emerging victorious, leapfrogging to claim the title of the continent’s top prodigy.

This would shock the entire world, earning him endless admirers and a throng of admirers vying for his attention… ‘Damn it!

This constant meddling of Heavenly Fate is getting on my nerves!’ Jiang Chen grumbled internally, rolling his eyes.

Now, I’m probably going to get dragged into a clash with this Dao Palace realm demon, while Gu Ran gets to freely slaughter demons, absorbing their cultivation to grow stronger.

He extended his divine sense toward the part of the sea where the roaring and potent aura were coming from.

Boom!

From the depths of the dark, ominous seabed, a massive pit emerged, with seawater churning and roiling endlessly.

A dense surge of Demonic Spiritual Qi dyed the surrounding waters a vivid red.

As more Demonic Spiritual Qi erupted from the pit, it formed an eerie pillar of light piercing through the depths.

A gargantuan creature, as vast as a mountain, swam within the seabed, its formidable body faintly visible in the shadowy depths.

It was a Late-stage Dao Palace realm demonic beast, corrupted by the Demonic Spiritual Qi!

The creature’s form resembled a gigantic octopus with countless writhing tentacles.

Its size exceeded a hundred thousand meters, and each movement sent waves of natural catastrophe rippling through the waters.

Within the brain of this colossal, octopus-like beast, Jiang Chen sensed yet another Dao Palace realm aura-this one unmistakably from the demon race!

And it was a familiar presence from the Nether Soul Demon Clan!

The Dao Palace realm Nether Soul demon appeared to have used a special technique to temporarily merge with the octopus-like demonic beast, creating an even more formidable entity.

Observing the brewing undercurrents and the imposing Dao Palace realm demon, Jiang Chen’s mind raced with thoughts: This demon!

Could they be one of the nether soul demons who escaped from the battle at Verdant Leaf Giant Peak?

Defeated and driven away with their leader killed, yet instead of retreating to recover, they’ve chosen to invade the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea right away.

To him, it seemed the remaining nether soul demons intended to seize control of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea in a swift move, planning to use it as a base to expand their influence throughout the Lustrous Yang Domain!

Well, there were four Dao Palace realm demons that escaped previously, and with this newly emerged Dao Palace realm demonic beast, that makes five Dao Palace realm combatants!

On the other side, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea only has three Dao Palace realm powerhouses, and their combat strength is average at best.

With such a force, it’s entirely possible, according to my calculations, that the demon army could conquer the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.

However, while the demon race’s invasion is a disaster for most, it’s practically a golden opportunity for Gu Ran.

As he pondered this, Jiang Chen’s thoughts were interrupted by another violent disturbance from the pit in the seabed.

Boom!

The explosion sent shockwaves rippling through the area, and countless fissures instantly opened across the seabed.

Within the roiling sea, a horde of demonic beasts, tainted by Demonic Spiritual Qi, surged forward with wild abandon, their target set on the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect!

Standing as the initial line of defense against this onslaught was the vulnerable Black Wood Island.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he took in the approaching wave of demonic beasts.

There were so many of them-but the more he could cut down, the better!

Besides, he couldn’t deny that these demonic beasts presented a unique opportunity for him as well.

A grin spread across Jiang Chen’s face as he unsheathed the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword and slashed fiercely into the waters below.

Myriad Changes Everlasting Sword Technique!

This mystical Sword Dao technique instantly split into countless sword threads, slaying a multitude of demonic beasts in the blink of an eye.

This time, however, Jiang Chen specifically targeted demonic beasts below the Heavenly Origin realm.

These beasts were the primary prey for Gu Ran, who still lacked the strength to face more advanced foes.

With a single swing of Jiang Chen’s sword, the vast area spanning tens of thousands of miles beneath him was transformed into a sea of blood!
