Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 388 388: Hand Over Everything

"You—you dare kill ?!" Sun Tianlin roared, his face twisted in anger and fear. "I'm a Core Elder of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect! One of the strongest sects on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star! If you kill , they'll never let you go. Don't think just because you're a Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm cultivator you can act all high and mighty. You're nothing on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!"

His words were loud, fierce even, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the panic hidden underneath. His eyes darted around wildly, searching for any way out.

"Alright, alright, stop yelling," Jiang Chen said, stepping out from thin air with a lazy smile. "Cut through all that noise. You just want to live, don't you?"

"You—" Sun Tianlin's mouth hung open. His face twitched as embarrassnt flashed across it. But he forced himself to stay calm. "Who doesn't want to live? Just say it. What do you want?"

"I want to go to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star," Jiang Chen said, voice cooling down like steel. "You take there, and you get to live. If not..." His eyes sharpened. "Well, you won't even have ti to regret it."

Sun Tianlin's heart pounded. He thought it over quickly, then nodded. "Fine. I agree."

The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, huh...

Half of that place belonged to the Purple Crest Immortal Sect. And the Sun Clan—his clan—had real power there. To Sun Tianlin, this was perfect.

Let Jiang Chen co. Once they got back to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, it wouldn't matter how strong Jiang Chen thought he was. With the full force of the sect behind him, even a Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm cultivator would be nothing but a bug to squash.

Sure, Jiang Chen would be cautious, but so what? Against the real big shots of the Nirvana Cleansing realm, no amount of cleverness could save him.

Sun Tianlin had already made up his mind: Jiang Chen was walking straight into his own grave.

"Good," Jiang Chen said, his smile vanishing. "Since you agreed, lower the defenses around your Sea of Consciousness. I'll plant a soul seed. As long as you behave, you'll live."

Without waiting, Jiang Chen started weaving his hands through the air, forming the Ten Thousand Soulseed Art.

Sun Tianlin hesitated, clenching his fists behind his back. But in the end, he let his defenses drop.

A strange force rushed into him almost instantly, sinking deep into his soul.

This...this is a Transcendence-level soul art! Sun Tianlin realized at once. But instead of panicking, he laughed coldly inside. If you give ti, I'll break it myself. And you think you can control with this? Fool.

What he didn't know was that Jiang Chen had no plans to let him live that long anyway.

As soon as they reached the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, Jiang Chen would kill him without hesitation.

A flash of golden light shot out from between Sun Tianlin's eyebrows. It floated toward Jiang Chen, who caught it casually—it was the soul seed magatama.

Sun Tianlin stiffened. Even if he still had thoughts of resisting, he didn't dare act rashly anymore. One wrong move, and Jiang Chen would know.

"Sun Tianlin," Jiang Chen said, twirling the soul seed magatama between his fingers, "this little thing ans your life is in my hands now. So behave. Now, hand over all your valuables."

Jiang Chen's tone was icy, leaving no room for argunt.

Sun Tianlin's face twisted. He gritted his teeth.

As the father of Sun Ji—who had been a big shot in the Purple Crest Immortal Sect—he was loaded with treasures. Jiang Chen clearly knew it and had no intention of letting him off cheap.

"Don't push it too far," Sun Tianlin snapped, struggling to keep his voice steady. "I know you're planning to kill after I hand everything over. That's why you're pretending you'll spare ."

Jiang Chen just gave a soft chuckle. "Live, die—it's all up to . What choice do you have?"

"You..." Sun Tianlin shook with anger but bit it down. Resistance ant certain death. Submission… maybe there was still a sliver of a chance.

"Don't waste my ti," Jiang Chen said coldly. "If you hide even a single item, you'll die a dog's death."

Sun Tianlin's face turned even uglier. But after a few seconds, he gave a low growl and started pulling treasures out from his storage.

He placed a spatial bracelet, a thin-bladed Immortal Tool, and a defensive artifact in front of Jiang Chen. His hands trembled. It was clear how much he hated giving them up.

"Good," Jiang Chen said, extending a hand. A wave of power swept the three treasures into his grip without even giving Sun Tianlin a chance to second-guess.

Sun Tianlin's fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. But he didn't dare act out.

"Alright," Jiang Chen said flatly. "The Immortal Martial Continent is still crawling with demons. Go back. Lead your army. Take back the lost domains. I'll handle the strong ones."

And just like that, he disappeared into the distance.

"Yes, sir!" Sun Tianlin answered quickly, relief flooding through him. He bowed low before flying off to gather the cultivator army.

As Sun Tianlin left, Jiang Chen soared through the skies, cutting down any demon that dared cross his path.

Now that his cultivation had jumped so much, wiping out the leftovers was as easy as breathing.

While killing demons, Jiang Chen took out the storage artifacts he'd collected. It was ti to sort through the loot.

Until now, he'd been fighting based purely on his own strength. He hadn't touched the mountain of treasures he'd gathered from all the demon powerhouses—or the precious Nether Soul Crystals tucked away in their possessions.

With all this qi and blood energy... maybe it's ti to pick a Nirvana Peering-level cultivation technique, Jiang Chen thought, rubbing his chin.

Just then, a tiny flash of silver popped out from the collar of his robe.

Ying Luo hovered in the air in front of him, her little dragon eyes sparkling. Her front paws fiddled together, full of excitent.

"Big brother! I love you so much!" she squealed.

Jiang Chen laughed. "Don't worry, little one. You won't go hungry. Let find a good cultivation thod first, then everything else is yours."

He stretched out his hand, and Ying Luo imdiately wrapped herself around his palm.

"Deal!" she chirped happily.

"Good," Jiang Chen said. "Now go round up any stray demons you find. It'll save so ti."

"Got it! I'll find them all!" Ying Luo shouted as she zipped off, her tiny body flickering through the air using Spatial Stride to move faster.

Watching her go, Jiang Chen shook his head with a chuckle. "What a lively girl."

He turned back to the task at hand.

While slaughtering demons, he called out to the two won inside the Void Tribulation Soulring—Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

He asked them to help pick a good cultivation thod.

Before long, they settled on sothing called the Formless Nature Immortal Scripture—a Nirvana Peering-level body cultivation technique.

The path forward in the Nirvana Peering realm was all about fusing the Great Dao into every cell of the body, creating what's called the Complete Dao Palace Body.

Once that body was fully ford, a cultivator could step into the Nirvana Cleansing realm and form the Great Dao Immortal Body.

The Formless Nature Immortal Scripture specialized in making that process easier.

For soone like Jiang Chen, who already had a ton of rare abilities and little trouble breaking through bottlenecks, practicing it would make things even smoother.

Plus, the scripture had a hidden bonus—it could change the user's physical appearance.

Combined with the aura-hiding powers of the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to recognize him.

It was exactly what he needed.
