Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Consuming Spiritual Plants Non-Stop Chapter 93: Consuming Spiritual Plants Non-Stop High above, Jiang Chen watched Ye Fan take a black pill and saw how, after swallowing it, Ye Fan’s speed increased dramatically, making him faster than Jiang Chen’s own speed.

He wasn’t really surprised.

‘Just as I expected from the protagonist, who can truly understand the depth of his hidden plans?’ he thought, unfazed.

“Well, if you’re going to bend the rules in this race, then don’t be surprised if I do the same,” Jiang Chen said to himself, half-joking.

With a quick gesture, the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle transformed into a sleek, three-meter-long flying device.

He stowed the Spiritual Awakening-level flying device he had been using and immediately hopped onto the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle.

His speed instantly increased several-fold.

Soon after, Ye Fan’s figure reappeared within Jiang Chen’s divine sense.

The pursuit was unyielding!

Not much later, the effects of Ye Fan’s pill wore off, and his speed suddenly dropped.

Staying extremely alert and ready for any surprises, Ye Fan took another black pill, maintaining his high-speed escape.

After taking the second pill, he quickly took out a third pill and swallowed it.

At the same time, as he flew, he switched all his clothes and carefully cleaned his body with different methods!

“What the hell is with this guy!?

He’s actually doing a naked run while escaping.

How has he not lost it yet?” Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

However, he felt a boost in morale upon realizing he was bigger than Ye Fan.

Pushing these trivial thoughts aside, Jiang Chen continued to follow Ye Fan closely.

Suddenly, whether because Ye Fan had run out of black pills or his stamina was faltering, he stopped flying and landed on the ground.

He chose a swamp for his break, a place filled with foul and decaying smells.

Upon landing, Ye Fan dived straight into the swamp, a quagmire full of mud, and quickly vanished from sight.

It’s commonly known that the range of one’s divine sense has its limits.

In a tricky setting like a swamp, trying to extend divine sense through it is nearly as hard as doing so through solid ground.

Additionally, diving into the swamp leaves no clear traces, and the move is quick.

Therefore, Ye Fan picked the swamp as his hiding place.

His plan was to use the natural cover of the environment and his skill in staying hidden to try and shake off Jiang Chen’s persistent chase.

However, what Ye Fan didn’t realize was that Jiang Chen had been closely watching every move he made, including his dive into the swamp.

“Ugh-talk about being hard on yourself!

He’s definitely going places in the afterlife,” Jiang Chen remarked sarcastically, grimacing in revulsion as he watched Ye Fan dive fearlessly into a swamp teeming with foul sludge.

Shaking his head to dispel those thoughts, he flew on until he was directly above the swamp, where he stopped.

With Ye Fan now hidden in a place invisible to the naked eye, Jiang Chen understood he had to depend on something more supernatural, able to peer through physical obstructions.

Without delay, Jiang Chen used his divine sense to probe the swamp.

But, against his expectations, navigating this kind of terrain with his divine sense turned out to be quite challenging.

Despite delving hundreds of meters into the swamp, he couldn’t pinpoint Ye Fan’s location.

“It looks like I’ve hit the limit of what my divine sense can reach.

Time to use the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade,” Jiang Chen whispered to himself, retracting his divine sense.

Next, by focusing it through the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade, he sent out his now-amplified divine sense again to explore the swamp’s depths.

This attempt, building on his earlier effort, allowed his divine sense to penetrate several hundred meters deeper into the swamp.

Finally, he found Ye Fan.

This person, after diving deep into the swamp, had impressively moved several hundred meters before stopping.

Indeed, he was a model of caution.

Yet, even these careful moves were picked up by the always-alert Jiang Chen.

Following that, Jiang Chen kept a close watch on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was seen enveloped in a thin, glowing barrier, which kept the swamp’s filth at bay.

In his left hand, he held the Wordless Heavenly Book, connected to his palm with blood-red threads.

With his right hand, he took a bunch of pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.

Ye Fan had a substantial supply of healing pills, especially after taking over the resources from the son of the Heavenly Blade School’s sect master, his stash had grown considerably.

Watching Ye Fan begin the healing process, Jiang Chen thought, ‘After his injuries heal, his temporarily reduced Heavenly Fate Value will return to its maximum.’ ‘Let’s find out what his current Heavenly Fate Value is,’ he considered, and promptly used his Villain Eye on Ye Fan to view his information panel.

[Name: Ye Fan Realm: Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening Status: Protagonist Heavenly Fate Value: 4,568/4,768] Focusing on Ye Fan’s current maximum Heavenly Fate Value, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile as he thought, ‘A drop of over four thousand points would nearly knock him out of the competition!’ ‘Now, while Ye Fan is recovering, it’s the perfect time to boost my own strength!’ he decided, and then gathered several storage artifacts.

These were all treasures he had acquired from his recent looting spree.

He hadn’t even checked what was inside them yet!

“It’s like opening random treasure chests,” Jiang Chen said with a hint of amusement, picked up a storage ring, and his divine sense quickly started sifting through its contents.

Instantly, a vast array of items appeared before him.

He found a wealth of spiritual plants, a large number of pills, several natural treasures, jade slips with cultivation methods, a set of clothes, and various other tools.

Jiang Chen skillfully selected the strengthening spiritual plants and didn’t hesitate to consume them.

Regarding the pills, he organized them into different categories and placed them in his Moondust Ring.

At present, his collection of pills was growing, but he knew that taking too many low-quality pills could result in a buildup of impurities, which would negatively affect his cultivation progress.

Only upper-grade and top-grade pills were truly beneficial to consume.

Among the loot, most pills were of average quality, with only a few upper-grade pills and not a single top-grade pill.

This was despite the fact that the previous owners of these storage artifacts were considered elite talents from renowned sects.

In comparison, typical cultivators at the Spiritual Awakening realm would have an even harder time finding high-quality pills.

As time went on, Jiang Chen systematically opened each storage ring, bracelet, thumb ring, earring, and other such items.

He then went on to take out all the treasures they held, getting rid of any personal items that were of no use.

During this whole time, Jiang Chen kept consuming spiritual plants non-stop.

Even after he finished sorting through the storage artifacts, he hadn’t finished eating all the spiritual plants.

‘Awesome!

Once I’ve finished with these spiritual plants, a breakthrough is guaranteed!’ Jiang Chen thought with excitement.

‘However, achieving a breakthrough here could be problematic.

This area doesn’t allow Heavenly Origin realm cultivators to enter.’ ‘For now, the focus is on consuming these plants.

When my cultivation base reaches a bottleneck, I’ll just hold off on breaking through to the Heavenly Origin realm until I find the right moment to do it!’ Having made up his mind, he continued eating the spiritual plants.

Over the next period, Jiang Chen consumed a massive amount of spiritual plants, many of which were of the Heavenly Origin rank.

After he had eaten all the spiritual plants, Jiang Chen felt instinctively that the Burning World Red Lotus was about to be restored to the Inquiring Journey realm!

‘Almost there,’ he mused silently.

‘But now, the impact of ordinary spiritual plants has become negligible, and even the effects of the Heavenly Origin-level spiritual plants are barely noticeable.’ Understanding the next step he needed to take, Jiang Chen immediately issued a mental command, ‘System, exchange for one Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng for me!’ After his last exchange for the Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng, Jiang Chen was left with 1,700 Villain Value points.

His encounters with Ye Fan since then had netted him an additional 3,900 points, for a total of 5,600 points!

[Ding!

You have used 2,600 points of Villain Value to successfully obtain Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng×1!] As soon as the system notification sounded in his mind, a Heavenly Star Crossing Calamity Precious Ginseng appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

He immediately consumed it without any hesitation!
