Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate-Chapter 329: Tension in the Pure Frost Domain

At the same time, in the Immortal Martial Continent, within the Pure Frost Domain near the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect, a sudden and terrifying wave of energy spread out, sending chills through anyone who felt it.

"What’s happening?!" Zhu Zhihai, the Dao Palace realm cultivator guarding the area, turned pale with alarm. "Is it another demon invasion?!"

Without wasting a second, he quickly sent an urgent message to the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Despite his fear, Zhu Zhihai steadied himself and rushed toward the source of the disturbance. Even if it was an army of demons, he needed to see their numbers and figure out their strength.

...

In the Purple Heaven Holy Land, Jiang Chen sat in a large molten crater. Floating in front of him was a long white sword with a purple hilt, glowing softly. It was the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword. "Finally, it’s fully repaired!" he said with relief.

Fixing the sword had used up most of his artifact refining materials, but the result was worth it.

Now, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword was as good as new, and he didn’t have to worry about it losing power or breaking during battle.

"It’s a shame I can’t use the Transcendence-level scythe I got from Bo Lang," Jiang Chen muttered, thinking of Bo Lang’s flashy weapon. He smiled slightly, a bit disappointed. "If I could, I’d have two powerful immortal weapons."

Just then, his transmission jade token lit up with an incoming message.

As Jiang Chen read it, his frown deepened. A strange energy fluctuation appeared near the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect in the Pure Frost Domain? It feels like a spatial gate, but stronger and more overwhelming!

It looks like a new spatial channel is about to open.

It’s unlikely to be the demon race. They just lost a million soldiers in a failed invasion—there’s no way they’d risk opening another spatial channel so recklessly. That would be like setting a fire near a powder keg. Certain death!

Could it be someone else? Maybe the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star?

No point in guessing—I’ll have to check it out myself. Shaking his head, he decided thinking about it wouldn’t solve anything.

Without delay, Jiang Chen pulled out the Cave Heaven’s secret key, opened a spatial gate, and stepped into the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven, heading straight for the Pure Frost Domain.

During this time, the entire Immortal Martial Continent was on high alert. All the famous experts and rising talents were gathered inside the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven for safety.

While these powerhouses waited for Jiang Chen’s signal to head to the Pure Frost Domain, he decided to check the situation himself.

After all, he had two powerful ways to stay hidden: the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring and the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline. Especially with the latter, no one at his level of cultivation could detect him.

Using the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven as a shortcut, Jiang Chen arrived in the Pure Frost Domain in just a few breaths.

To play it safe, Jiang Chen activated both of his concealment abilities. First, he used the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring, then combined it with the stealth power of his Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline. Together, they made him completely vanish from sight.

Once hidden, he extended his divine sense over a massive range of two million kilometers, focusing on the location where the disturbance had appeared.

"It’s the early stage of a spatial portal forming," Nangong Wan’s voice sounded in his mind. "Someone is opening an ultra-long-distance spatial channel."

"This one looks smaller than the one under the Bottomless Abyss," Shangguan Ning added. "It’s one-directional, and the distance on the other side seems shorter. It’s likely coming from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star."

The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star? Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he considered the possibility. Could it be that they’ve discovered the movements of the demon race?

The demons want to use the Immortal Martial Continent as a base to launch attacks, maybe on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star or somewhere else.

So, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star has decided to get involved, haven’t they?

All signs pointed to the other end of the channel being connected to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star. Once the channel was fully opened, the two places would be linked.

The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star represented unexplored territory—a new land filled with the possibility of introducing powerful new protagonists.

If Jiang Chen stopped the spatial channel from forming, he could cut off this connection and enjoy some peace, at least for a while.

But after thinking it over, he decided to let things take their course.

The resources on the Immortal Martial Continent were limited, and he was already close to reaching the peak of the Cultivation Path here–the Transcendence realm. Pushing further would require more than what the continent could offer.

Would I really have to raise countless cultivators as fodder, just to kill them for my own growth? he wondered.

Aside from how cruel and inhuman such an act would be, it wasn’t even practical. The Immortal Martial Continent didn’t have enough resources to quickly nurture a large number of cultivators for such a purpose.

On top of that, even the entire Dao Palace realm’s cultivation base was just a small fraction compared to the vast amount needed in the Transcendence realm.

Jiang Chen also carried the heavy burden of over 60,000 points of Black Heavenly Fate Value.

This meant he was bound to get dragged into the story of a new protagonist, whether he wanted to or not. Under the force of Heavenly Fate, what was meant to happen would happen—there was no escaping it.

Taking all this into consideration, facing the situation head-on seemed like the most logical choice.

With his System and five powerful Heaven-Defying Fate Changers focused on combat, Jiang Chen had plenty of advantages to rely on.

His eyes shone with determination.

At that moment, the strange spatial disturbance revealed its source. A tiny black dot appeared, crackling with lightning-like black streaks. Under Jiang Chen’s watchful gaze, the dot quickly grew into a massive swirling vortex.

Below the forming spatial channel, a group of strong cultivators had already gathered. Every one of them was at least at the Inquiring Journey realm.

"My goodness! What a massive spatial vortex!" someone said, their voice trembling.

"It’s big, but not as huge as the one under the Bottomless Abyss," another reassured.

"Who do you think is on the other side? Could it be a demon army?"

"If only Lord Jiang Chen were here. He could destroy this spatial channel without breaking a sweat!"

Noticing the growing unease among the crowd, Jiang Chen quickly sent a message to reassure them. "Everyone, stay calm. I’m monitoring everything from a hidden position. Act as though I’m not here."

"It’s Lord Jiang Chen!" one cultivator exclaimed, a mix of awe and relief in his voice. "The greatest powerhouse in our Immortal Martial Continent!"

"With Lord Jiang Chen keeping watch, what’s there to fear?"

"Let’s follow his orders. Keep acting normal and don’t let anyone know he’s here."

The group quickly agreed, pretending to remain anxious about the spatial channel while keeping Jiang Chen’s presence a secret.

Smart move, Jiang Chen nodded slightly in approval as he turned his attention back to the swirling vortex.

By now, the spatial channel had fully stabilized.

It’s almost time, Jiang Chen thought, his eyes sharpening as he prepared for what was to come.

...

On the distant Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, in the dimly lit underground chamber, the elderly man with a white beard spoke to the burly man in black armor. "The spatial channel is open! Keeping it stable uses a lot of resources, so we must act quickly!"

"Understood!" the armored man replied, then turned to give orders. "Send the vanguard to the channel entrance!"

A group of pale, nervous cultivators with weaker cultivation levels was quickly brought forward. These individuals, seen as expendable, were chosen to test for any dangers on the other side of the channel.

"Move!" the armored man commanded, using a hidden force to push them into the channel.

Moments later, a Dao Comprehension realm cultivator holding a large mirror stepped forward. "They all made it through," he reported, pointing to the glowing dots on the mirror, each one representing a survivor.
