Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 367: Jiang Chen's System Metamorphosis

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully killing Protagonist Mo Hao!]

[Ding! You have gained 1,000,000 points of Villain Value!]

[Ding! You have gained 62,682 points of Black Heavenly Fate Value!]

Echoing through Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness, three system notifications confirmed Mo Hao's utter downfall.

Following that, two additional system notifications rang out.

[Ding! Your Black Heavenly Fate Value has surpassed 100,000 points; the System Mall has upgraded to Level 3!]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a System Mall Level-Up Gift Pack*1! Claim it from the system's main interface, please!]

Just then, a faint speck of light emerged from Mo Hao's lifeless body, nearly disappearing into the ether.

However, an invisible force burst forth from Jiang Chen at that moment, seizing the speck of light and drawing it into the space between his eyebrows.

[Ding! You have successfully captured the System Origin Force*1 of the 'Fancy Pretentious Super God System'. Consuming this will trigger a metamorphosis in your own system, potentially unlocking new capabilities!]

[Ding! Would you like to use the System Origin Force?]

Two more notifications appeared on the system.

'System Origin Force! My suspicions were spot-on; Mo Hao indeed was a protagonist with a system!' Jiang Chen's eyes erupted in a brilliant light. 'System, use the System Origin Force right away!'

[Ding! System Origin Force is being utilized. The system is undergoing metamorphosis, 1%...2%...5%...]

'It appears the metamorphosis will require some time to finish,' Jiang Chen mused, narrowing his eyes. He then cast his gaze downward at the million-strong army below and flew down to meet them.

"Junior Sun Liu pays his respects to the Master of the Immortal Martial Continent! Earlier, I was both blind and foolish, or rather, it was an issue with my eyesight; I even had the audacity to offend Lord Jiang Chen. I humbly kneel before you!" As Jiang Chen approached, Sun Liu promptly knelt down, his upper body bending in evident distress.

"I have something to say; heed it well." Jiang Chen surveyed the million-strong army below, speaking in an aloof tone. "What you've witnessed and heard here must remain confidential, not a single word should escape. Just to be certain..."

With utmost respect and obedience, the million-strong army hung on every word from Jiang Chen.

...

Simultaneously, far away in a skirmish with Sun Tianlin, Bo Luncang's face displayed a blend of astonishment, fury, and disbelief!

Many in the million-strong demon army had close relationships with him; they were his trusted confidants and key subordinates. The moment they perished, Bo Luncang sensed it instantly.

He didn't need to ponder to understand what had transpired.

Undoubtedly, another great powerhouse at the Nirvana Peering realm must have intervened, obliterating the million-strong demon army in a show of overwhelming might!

What's more, Bo Luncang could distinctly sense a burst of Nirvana Peering level aura emanating from afar!

'Damn it!' Bo Luncang internally screamed, 'It has to be that true dragon at the Nirvana Peering realm!'

'He didn't vacate the Immortal Martial Continent but interfered in this monumental battle!'

'Why is this occurring? He was supposed to have left!' he thought, nearly shedding tears of blood in anguish.

Only after receiving news that the dragon of the Nirvana Peering realm had come searching for their junior and had departed did he dare to gather the demon army and engage in war against the human forces.

However, it was now clear that the information he'd received was incorrect.

The Nirvana Peering realm dragon hadn't departed. After obliterating the million-strong demon army, it was highly probable that the dragon would target him, Bo Luncang, next!

This realization fueled Bo Luncang's desperate desire to break away from the battle and flee.

Even though he was aware that the Demon Lord wouldn't show him mercy should he escape, a demon's life is but once; every moment of it invaluable.

Regrettably, as Bo Luncang picked up on the distant aura of the Nirvana Peering realm, so did Sun Tianlin.

Initially, Sun Tianlin felt a surge of terror, assuming that the great powerhouse of the Nirvana Peering realm was from the demon side.

It was only when he observed Bo Luncang's odd behavior and continuous attempts to flee—and upon realizing none of his own trusted subordinates had perished—that it dawned on him: the newcomer was a great powerhouse from the human side, an ally!

Joy instantly filled Sun Tianlin.

He and Bo Luncang had been almost evenly matched, and any attempt to settle the score would likely result in both being grievously injured, even if he succeeded in killing Bo Luncang.

But with a Nirvana Peering realm ally joining the fray, the dynamics changed entirely.

Facing a two-against-one situation, they could undoubtedly defeat Bo Luncang.

"Bo Luncang, you're still thinking of escaping? Hahaha, it's too late. Today marks your end!" Sun Tianlin taunted, his laughter tinged with coldness as he relentlessly ensnared Bo Luncang. He was determined to hold Bo Luncang down, whatever the cost.

"Move aside, you wretched creature! Or else, I'll drag you down with me!" Bo Luncang bellowed, his face contorted and veins visibly strained.

"Drag me down? Show me you have the courage to do it!" Unfazed by the threat, Sun Tianlin maintained his grip on Bo Luncang, inwardly hoping the Nirvana Peering realm ally to hasten their arrival.

He wanted to communicate with his trusted lieutenants for a clearer understanding of the unfolding situation. However, tangling with Bo Luncang had already consumed so much of his focus and energy; how could he afford any distractions?

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Chen had successfully acquired the soul seeds from Sun Liu and others through a mix of threats and enticements.

From that moment on, their fates were precariously held in Jiang Chen's hands.

While this might seem like an excessive measure, particularly since his talk with Mo Hao had yielded no crucial insights, Jiang Chen still didn't want a single word to leak out.

Another vital factor was the killing of Sun Ji. Among the million-strong army were numerous elite warriors of the Sun Clan, and their Nirvana Peering realm leader was a powerhouse from the same clan. They all constituted potential adversaries.

At that moment, the system's metamorphosis finally reached completion.

[...99%...100%! System metamorphosis complete!]

[Ding! Your system has upgraded to Level 4. The exchange threshold has been raised to the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path. You have received a System Mall Level-Up Gift Pack*1!]

[Ding! The cost of Level 1, 2, and 3 items in the System Mall has been halved!]

[Ding! System metamorphosis update: The worth of Villain Value has been enhanced. You can now directly use your Villain Value points to elevate your cultivation base, although the conversion rate is not favorable. Exercise caution while using your Villain Value points.]

[Ding! You now have access to four distinct 'Wealth', 'Companion', 'Method', and 'Land' lottery pools. Expend the appropriate Villain Value points to draw prizes; differing tiers necessitate varying amounts of Villain Value.]

A flurry of system notifications resounded in Jiang Chen's Sea of Consciousness, the ceaseless dings practically ingraining themselves into his mind.

Of course, Jiang Chen was absolutely elated by this, thinking to himself, 'Wow, I really hit the jackpot this time!'

'The system shot up from Level 2 to Level 4, and I've got two gift packages lined up!'

'Plus, anything at the Void Tribulation realm level or below now costs only half the original price!'

'The Villain Value's worth has shot up too. It's like stacking discounts for Void Tribulation realm items!'

'Now I can even use Villain Value points to directly increase my cultivation base. That's an invaluable asset for emergency situations!'

'And four different lottery pools to draw from? This is beyond amazing!' he marveled internally.

Given the system's track record, there was no doubt about the quality of these new benefits.

Next, Jiang Chen swiftly accessed the system interface, noticing that several modifications had been made.

It was still a semi-transparent screen invisible to others, but at its center floated two orbs of light—these were the Level 3 and Level 4 gift packages from the system upgrade!

Moreover, new options for enhancing his cultivation base and for lottery participation had surfaced.

Essentially, Jiang Chen now had three major courses of action: elevating his cultivation base, exchanging items, or engaging in lottery draws.

'Forget everything else for now; let's grab these two gift packages first!' With a surge of exhilaration, he promptly claimed the two gift packages.
