Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 380 380: Stalling for Time

Mo Hao turned to Ying Luo, a thoughtful look on his face. "Hey, Lady Dragon… your big brother won't step in, sure—but what about you? Is he really okay with you jumping into this huge war between humans and demons?"

Ying Luo nodded without hesitation. "Yeah. He told to join the battle. Said it's part of my training."

She paused for a mont, then added, "It's… a special kind of training. Even if I'm in real danger, no one will co to save ."

"In our clan, everyone has to go through this. You don't get to leave and do your own thing until the elders say you're ready." She sighed softly, like she wished things were different, but her eyes were full of determination.

Mo Hao straightened up a little, sothing sparking inside him. "Then I'll help you finish your training—no matter what. Once it's over, we'll fly through the stars and see the whole universe together."

Ying Luo smiled at him. "Deal."

Jiang Chen grinned. "That settles it, then. Now that we've got a True Dragon on our side, we've got a way better shot at winning this thing."

"Co on. We'll go over the plan in my Cave Heaven. You're both welco to co and go as you like."

He pulled out a glowing key and opened a crack in the air—like a door made of light.

"Worst case? If everything goes wrong, we've still got a way to escape," he said calmly.

One by one, the three of them stepped through the portal into the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven.

Once inside, Jiang Chen didn't rush to open the next portal toward the Pure Frost Domain. Instead, he glanced at both of them and said, "Take a breather. Rest up."

"I'll look over what we know so far and dig into the situation in the Pure Frost Domain."

"When the ti's right, we move."

With that, he turned and opened another portal—this ti just for himself—and stepped through.

...

Outside, the Western Ice Domain was still tense. A Nirvana Peering realm powerhouse had appeared out of nowhere, wiping out a hundred thousand demons in one go.

Jiang Chen could already guess what Bo Luncang was thinking. After a show of force like that, he'd be way too careful to make any bold moves.

Which ant it was ti for Jiang Chen to go calm him down.

...

Back in the Pure Frost Domain, Bo Luncang had just gotten the terrifying news—the entire hundred-thousand-strong demon army in the Western Ice Domain had been wiped out.

He froze in the air, eyes wide. "What the hell?! How is that even possible?!"

"In just one mont... the whole army gone?" His mind raced. "Was it so Nirvana Peering realm expert? It had to be."

"Wait… could it have been the leader from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's cultivator army? But no—he should still be here, in the Pure Frost Domain..." Bo Luncang floated there, lost in thought, a knot of unease tightening in his chest.

If it wasn't the leader… and soone else that powerful had stepped in, then things were way worse than he thought.

"Damn it!" he growled. "And now that the spatial channel's destroyed, I can't even run if I wanted to."

His fists clenched as panic crept in. There was no escape, no safe plan.

"Going up against two Nirvana Peering realm powerhouses?" He let out a dry, bitter laugh. "Might be ti to admit this could be the end for …"

"What the hell am I supposed to do now?"

Just then, a soft glow pulsed from his transmission jade token. A ssage.

He swept it with his divine sense—and the mont he read it, his face changed completely.

His jaw dropped. His eyes lit up with a mix of shock and hope.

According to the ssage, the one who destroyed the demon army was the big brother of that silver true dragon—and even better, the guy had already left the Immortal Martial Continent!

Bo Luncang didn't doubt the ssage for a second.

It ca from one of his most trusted subordinates—soone who had managed to stay alive through everything so far.

What Bo Luncang didn't know, though, was that the ssage had actually co straight from Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had disguised himself as a dark sprite demon before, so doing it again was no big deal. In just a short ti, he fooled another demon and made sure the false information got passed up the chain.

"A true dragon, huh?" Bo Luncang muttered, finally letting himself relax a little. "So that's who it was. And they're already gone…"

He let out a long breath, the weight on his chest finally lifting. "That ans I'm not stuck between two Nirvana Peering realm monsters anymore. Good. Real good."

His eyes sharpened.

"Alright then. Ti to go all in. We'll gather everything we've got and crush the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's army in one big battle!"

He paused, jaw tight. "If we lose, that's it. It's all over."

And even if he sohow managed to crawl away alive… the demon lord wouldn't forgive failure. He'd be as good as dead anyway.

Wasting no ti, Bo Luncang pulled out his transmission jade token and sent out orders—every demon nearby the Western Ice Domain was to head straight for the Pure Frost Domain.

Right around then, Jiang Chen made his move too.

Using the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven as a shortcut, he stepped quietly into the Pure Frost Domain through a shimring portal.

He hid his presence so well that not even soone as strong as Bo Luncang could sense him.

...

And just as Bo Luncang was moving forward with his plans—

BOOM!

Sun Tianlin—burning with rage—finally found him.

The demon had been running wild for too long, leaving nothing but ruined legions and shattered cultivators in his wake.

Now it was ti to make him pay.

...

Dark clouds rolled in overhead. Lightning flashed, thunder cracked, and the sky itself seed ready to tear apart.

High above the ground, two figures floated in mid-air. The wind scread around them, whipping their robes like wild flas.

The aura from their power stretched for tens of thousands of kiloters. Down below, beasts and people alike dropped to the ground, shaking in fear.

The two facing off were Bo Luncang and Sun Tianlin.

Both were at the Early-stage of the Nirvana Peering realm. And right now, they were locked in a fierce standoff—neither willing to back down an inch.

"You damn demon!" Sun Tianlin growled, his eyes burning. "You've been running wild, killing our young cultivators without a second thought. You really have no sha, do you?"

He took a step forward in the air, power rippling off him. "I don't waste my blade on nobodies. Tell your na!"

He was already furious. His child's killer had never been found, and now this demon had gone on a spree, slaughtering even more of his people. That rage had been boiling inside him for too long—ready to explode.

Bo Luncang just let out a loud laugh, full of mockery. "Hah! Your granddaddy's na is Bo Luncang. Got it, kid? What's yours, huh?"

"You filth!" Sun Tianlin snapped, eyes glowing red. "I'll tear you limb from limb and let the wind carry your ashes!"

With a sharp flick of his wrist, a gleaming immortal weapon appeared—a long-handled blade, sharp enough to cut through mountains.

And in the blink of an eye, he vanished.

He reappeared right in front of Bo Luncang—blade raised—ready to strike.

"Hmph! You think you can kill ? Keep dreaming!" Bo Luncang scoffed, but he didn't charge in. Instead of eting Sun Tianlin head-on, he swung his teor hamr and sent it flying with a powerful strike—all while pulling back.

He wasn't trying to win the fight right now. His demon army hadn't fully gathered yet, and if he got tangled up with Sun Tianlin for too long, his troops could end up split apart and crushed by the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's forces.

Right now, his goal was clear—buy ti. Stir up chaos. If he could kill a few enemy cultivators in the process, all the better.

"Don't even think about running!" Sun Tianlin shouted. His eyes narrowed as he launched a flurry of fierce attacks, trying to lock Bo Luncang in place.

He couldn't afford to let this demon slip away—not with how much destruction he could cause. A single move from a Nirvana Peering realm cultivator could flatten whole squads. Even Transcendence realm experts wouldn't survive if they got caught in the crossfire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two clashed in the sky, their attacks lighting up the clouds like a storm made of fire and steel.

Even from ten thousand ters up, every blow shook the earth below. Massive shockwaves tore through the land, leaving craters and deep scars everywhere they hit.

Bo Luncang kept fighting while slowly backing away. Even though Sun Tianlin tried hard to trap him, Bo still managed to slip out of his grasp again and again. The battle kept moving across the sky, never staying in one place for long.

But the shift in position wasn't fast—it gave Sun Tianlin just enough ti to think.

He quickly sent out new orders, and his army of cultivators changed course, flying off in a different direction like a wave of streaking lights.

At the sa ti, Bo Luncang had pulled off exactly what he wanted.

Because the enemy army had to change position, they missed their chance to chase down and wipe out his demon troops. That window had closed.

Ti kept ticking by.

Bo Luncang and Sun Tianlin didn't stop. The two powerhouses clashed again and again, refusing to give an inch. They fought non-stop—for three full days and nights. Mountains shattered under their attacks, and vast open plains were torn up so badly, it looked like giant lakes had ford where land used to be.

anwhile, Bo Luncang's demon army was giving it everything they had. More and more demons were pouring into the Pure Frost Domain.

Out of the nearly two million demons he'd started with, over a million had already regrouped.

They were almost ready.
