Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 335: Nirvana Peering Realm Combat Power

Within the expansive grounds of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect, powerhouses swiftly began to assemble in an instant, coalescing into a fearsome legion of cultivators.

The colossal maneuvers of the Sun Clan reverberated across the entire Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!

At the entrance to the spatial channel that leads to the Immortal Martial Continent, a tense-faced cultivator relayed orders from above, "Immediately prepare to open the spatial channel; the Sun Clan from the Purple Crest Immortal Sect is personally leading an expedition to the Immortal Martial Continent!"

Drawing a sharp breath, someone exclaimed, "The Sun Clan is personally leading an expedition to the Immortal Martial Continent!"

"Sun Ji, the most talented descendant of the Sun Clan, died there. The Sun Clan must be furious!"

"Good heavens, it's been tens of thousands of years since the Sun Clan took such a major step!"

"I just hope they don't vent their anger on us. We only let Sun Ji through the spatial channel because Lu Yang gave the all-clear!"

"Don't overthink it. If the Sun Clan wants to target us, no one can escape. Just prepare to open the spatial channel as flawlessly as possible to make amends."

With these exchanges, the faces of the cultivators and formation masters grew increasingly tense. They then began to prepare for opening the spatial channel with an unprecedented level of seriousness.

...

At this moment, Jiang Chen was taking stock of the spoils he had acquired from defeating Sun Ji and his companions.

Not only had he amassed a significant amount of qi and blood energy by killing them, but he had also bolstered his cultivation base.

Furthermore, he had collected spiritual plants from their corpses.

This gathering of spiritual plants had actually commenced earlier, starting when he had vanquished the man with the scarred face and his crew.

Having defeated Sun Ji, this wealthy young noble, Jiang Chen had amassed a tremendous collection of spiritual plants.

All of the plants on Sun Ji were at a minimum of Transcendence realm quality, amounting to several hundred in total. Beyond this, there were also exactly five spiritual plants of the Nirvana Peering realm.

His two younger brothers were comparatively less affluent, yet each still possessed nearly a hundred Transcendence realm spiritual plants.

This was not even including the spiritual plants he had found on Steward Ma and the others.

Now, Jiang Chen held in his possession more than five hundred Transcendence realm spiritual plants, as well as five Nirvana Peering realm ones!

'With the cultivation base absorbed by my Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo, combined with these spiritual plants, I have ample resources to ascend to a higher realm!' A flicker of excitement ignited in Jiang Chen's heart as he promptly made use of the purloined cultivation base.

He had defeated seven Transcendence realm powerhouses, including one at the Late-stage Transcendence realm and another at the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

This portion of the acquired cultivation base alone was sufficient for him to advance to the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

Just as he had anticipated, a surge of pure cultivation base flooded into Jiang Chen's body and soul, dramatically accelerating his cultivation base!

In a flash, he broke through to the Middle-stage Transcendence realm.

Immediately following this, he began ingesting the spiritual plants.

Like a whale drawing in water, Jiang Chen consumed the spiritual plants one after another.

An immense medicinal potency erupted, which was readily absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus. This, in turn, produced a significant volume of pure cultivation base.

Instantly, Jiang Chen's aura soared yet again, unceasingly. His cultivation base swiftly advanced once more, reaching the Late-stage Transcendence realm!

Correspondingly, Jiang Chen's aptitude also elevated; not only did it surpass the conventional Perfect Grade aptitude, but reaching the Peerless Grade now seemed within arm's reach.

'Late-stage Transcendence realm!' A gleam of excitement crossed Jiang Chen's face as he felt the immense power coursing within him. 'Hehe, in merely a dozen or so breaths, I've escalated from the Early-stage Transcendence realm to the Late-stage Transcendence realm.'

'If I were to disclose this rate of cultivation base advancement, it would unquestionably leave everyone slack-jawed.'

After contemplating, he chose not to utilize the Wordless Heavenly Jade for now. Given that he was already well-versed in numerous Transcendence realm cultivation methods, adding more wouldn't yield significant benefits.

It would be more advantageous to save up for practicing Nirvana Peering realm cultivation methods.

'System! Display my detailed information!' With that thought, a panel materialized in front of Jiang Chen.

'My combat strength has finally broken through the Transcendence realm, reaching the Nirvana Peering realm level!' Jiang Chen mused. 'Though there's a minus sign, indicating I'm not quite on par with a typical Early-stage Nirvana Peering realm powerhouse, I'm still exceptionally potent.'

'At the very least, an Early-stage Nirvana Peering realm cultivator won't be able to kill me in a single move.'

'With the demon race launching an invasion this time, it's highly probable that great powerhouses of the Nirvana Peering realm will make their appearance.'

'Given that Sun Ji was killed, his supporting forces won't just let the issue slide. If a young noble like Sun Ji is a Transcendence realm cultivator, his family is sure to possess a Nirvana Peering realm great powerhouse.'

'With my current capabilities, securing a decisive victory is entirely within reach!' A glimmer of a smile danced in his eyes.

Just at that moment, the spatial node ahead, which had been in a continuous state of vibration despite being suppressed, abruptly stilled.

"Hm? Could it be... have the demon race abandoned their attempt to open the spatial channel?" Jiang Chen's eyebrows lifted as he quickly turned to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning for clarification.

"Based on the spatial node's current state, it appears they've temporarily ceased their efforts," Nangong Wan observed. "But considering the significant losses the demon race has suffered at our hands, they won't easily abandon their plans."

"Exactly," Shangguan Ning concurred, her voice tinged with cautious optimism. "However, since the demon race has struggled to open the spatial channel for such an extended period, they'll likely explore alternative strategies."

"In the short term, they probably won't attempt to reopen the spatial channel until they're confident of succeeding."

"After all, while we merely need to exert some effort to guard our end of the spatial channel, they require the aid of natural treasures like the Void Suppressing Heavy Water."

She added, "These resources are far from inexpensive, and if this continues, the demon race will eventually find the ongoing expenditure unsustainable."

"In that case," Jiang Chen nodded, "I'll go look for Mo Hao first."

"An hour has passed since I last saw him," he noted as he stood up, swiping two fingers over his eyes with his right hand.

Immediately, a sliver of aura from Mo Hao integrated into the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils.

Mo Hao wasn't like Gu Ran, who could evade tracking marks.

Despite the low level of the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils and the considerable distance to Mo Hao, Jiang Chen's formidable strength activated it.

Depleting all the available uses of the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils in an instant, a potent force erupted, narrowing down Mo Hao's approximate location.
