Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Lucky Break Chapter 287: Lucky Break “This Cave Heaven Secret Realm must be vast,” a rough, grating voice said, sounding like metal scraping against a surface.

“It surely holds great opportunities for human cultivators.” “Even though our numbers are fewer now, and the second wave of reinforcements is coming, it’s unlikely we can face at least three human factions.” “I will lead our group into the Cave Heaven Secret Realm myself!” the voice declared firmly.

“You must come with me!” “Yes, My Lord!” Xu Yuqi replied, bowing respectfully.

The Burning Blaze Ancient Sect quickly mobilized.

Almost all their experts gathered, preparing to enter the Cave Heaven.

At the same time, the Nether Soul Demon Clan sent a powerful group, including Ji Junhao, who was at the Dao Palace realm!

If Ji Mingxiu saw Ji Junhao, he would be shocked.

This was because Ji Junhao was an unfamiliar face-he wasn’t part of the Nether Soul Demon Clan that had fled during the fight at Verdant Leaf Giant Peak.

Instead, he was a newly emerged Dao Palace expert of the demon race.

This showed that the Nether Soul Demon Clan had grown stronger on the Immortal Martial Continent!

After finishing their preparations, Ji Junhao, other powerful figures of the demon race, and a large group of experts from the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect entered the grey vortex spatial channel, heading into the Cave Heaven.

…

Inside the Doomsday Cave Heaven, Gu Ran flew forward without a clear direction, his frustration evident in his actions.

Wu Qian and Liu Xiong followed behind, giving him space to let out his emotions.

Jiang Chen, staying calm, kept an eye on both the group and their surroundings.

Roar!

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed in the distance.

It came from a demonic beast at the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm.

Strangely, this beast was alone, with no other creatures nearby.

Why it was by itself remained unclear.

It doesn’t matter, Jiang Chen thought.

This demonic beast could be very useful for Gu Ran.

At the very least, it might help improve his cultivation.

But something feels unusual.

A lone demonic beast at this level doesn’t seem to be just an opportunity for training.

Let’s wait and see.

With this thought, Jiang Chen used his divine sense to quietly warn Wu Qian and Liu Xiong not to act recklessly.

At the same time, Gu Ran’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Glancing back, he thought, An Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast?

Perfect prey!

Seeing that Wu Qian and Liu Xiong didn’t seem interested in the demonic beast, Gu Ran was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he rushed toward the solitary demonic beast.

As Gu Ran charged at the Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast, it immediately lunged at him, its fiery red eyes glowing with fury.

“Die, you foul beast!” Gu Ran shouted, his voice filled with anger, ready to release all his frustrations in the fight.

But even after using his full strength, he couldn’t defeat the demonic beast!

Roar!

The demonic beast, enraged, launched a fierce counterattack.

“You’re tough!

Let’s see how much you can take!” Gu Ran yelled, determined to bring it down.

Instead of fighting carefully as he usually would, he attacked head-on, throwing all his frustration into the battle.

Man and beast clashed fiercely, their roars shaking the ground.

Mountains trembled, and rocks tumbled as their fight raged on.

This battle is too close, Jiang Chen thought as he watched from a distance.

Usually, protagonists overpower monsters easily when gaining experience.

There’s something strange about this one, he decided, staying on alert and quietly signaling Wu Qian and Liu Xiong to do the same.

Gu Ran and the demonic beast exchanged dozens of blows, their fight destroying parts of the forest and filling the air with dust.

Roar!

Finally, the demonic beast, unable to keep up, coughed blood and turned to flee.

Its sudden speed surprised even Gu Ran, who was very fast himself.

Trying to run?

Gu Ran thought with a cold smile.

Just accept your fate and help me grow stronger!

With a fierce look, he chased after the demonic beast.

But as he pursued, the demonic beast used a special skill.

Its speed increased sharply, making it harder for Gu Ran to catch up.

Damn it!

Let’s see how long you can keep this up!

Gu Ran thought, clenching his teeth as he continued the chase.

He was determined not to let the demonic beast escape.

“Follow them,” Jiang Chen calmly instructed Wu Qian and Liu Xiong, watching the chase unfold.

Jiang Chen had a strong feeling that something unexpected was about to happen.

He suspected the demonic beast might lead Gu Ran to something important, perhaps a great treasure or inheritance.

The chase lasted for about half an hour before the demonic beast began to slow down.

“Running away?

You can’t escape!” Gu Ran yelled as he closed in and launched his attack.

Roar!

The demonic beast had used an ability that hurt itself, leaving it much weaker than before.

Now, it couldn’t defend against Gu Ran’s powerful strikes.

Slash!

Gu Ran’s blade struck, cutting off the demonic beast’s head.

The head flew into the air and fell back to the ground along with its lifeless body.

Bang!

The demonic beast’s heavy corpse hit the ground, creating a massive crater.

What’s this?

Gu Ran thought, staring into the crater.

The ground beneath looked hollow, and faint signs of man-made structures could be seen.

His face lit up with excitement.

Is this a hidden cave left behind by a cultivator?

Wu Qian and Liu Xiong exchanged glances, their eyes wide with surprise.

Both were amazed by Gu Ran’s incredible luck.

By chasing a demonic beast, he had stumbled upon what seemed to be an extraordinary cave dwelling!

In the vast Doomsday Cave Heaven, where many inheritances were scattered, finding one as promising as this was truly rare.

As expected, Jiang Chen thought.

That demonic beast was just a decoy, a part of Heavenly Fate’s plan.

It was meant to guide Gu Ran to this inheritance.

Now, let’s see what this inheritance holds.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he extended his divine sense to scan the underground space, carefully avoiding Gu Ran.

Soon, Jiang Chen noticed golden patterns covering the cavern walls.

Some looked like words, while others formed pictures, together telling a story.

Using his divine sense, Jiang Chen interpreted their meanings.

This cave dwelling had been left behind by a Dao Palace realm cultivator who had once lived in Doomsday Cave Heaven.

The golden patterns described key events from the cultivator’s life.

The stories included a large-scale invasion by the demon race, the heartbreaking abandonment of the Immortal Martial Continent, and the remaining cultivators’ counterattack against the demon race’s rear forces.

Finally, the patterns revealed that this cultivator had left behind various non-combat cultivation methods and items, meant for those destined to discover them.
