Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 284: The Fate Chasing Kite Pupils

Lu An’s eyes widened in shock, his pupils narrowing sharply. "A Transcendence-level Cave Heaven?!" he blurted out, barely able to believe it.

Could it really be a Transcendence-level Cave Heaven? he thought, his excitement bubbling over. If it is, then there might be treasures of the Transcendence rank inside! With those, I could break through to the Third Step of the Cultivation Path—the Transcendence realm!

Despite his excitement, Lu An couldn’t fully trust the cultivator’s report. Determined to be cautious, he approached the Cave Heaven’s entrance and used multiple techniques to verify the claims himself.

At the same time, elsewhere on the Immortal Martial Continent, events were stirring within the Golden Proud Cult—the strongest power in the Wind Gold Domain.

Similarly, the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect, under the control of the Nether Soul Demon Clan, had also caught wind of the developments related to the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

The demonic sect had already sent their cultivators into the Cave Heaven and used tools like the Life Tablet to monitor them. Once they confirmed that their people had survived, they quickly sent a second wave of teams to explore further.

...

Inside the Doomsday Cave Heaven, Gu Ran examined the carvings on the stone tablet he had uncovered. "I never imagined this Cave Heaven held such secrets," he murmured.

"This place once served as a symbol of hope for all humanity on the Immortal Martial Continent," he continued, his voice filled with awe. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger rising within him. "The people of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star were truly cruel—betraying their own kind and cutting all ties!"

Beside him, Liu Xiong sighed and said, "These inheritances were left by our predecessors."

"Without their sacrifices, the Immortal Martial Continent might not have survived," he added, his tone reflecting genuine respect.

"Let’s move," Gu Ran instructed, giving Liu Xiong a brief look before leaping into the air.

Liu Xiong followed closely behind, keeping a short distance.

This guy is like a stubborn pest—always clinging to me, Gu Ran thought, his brows furrowing slightly as he considered how to get rid of him.

Suddenly, Liu Xiong’s expression changed drastically.

In the distance, he saw a group of strange cultivators. Their appearances were wild—faces twisted with ferocity, hair messy, and eyes shining with a dangerous mix of madness and bloodlust. They were clearly not ordinary people.

These must be members of the Burning Blaze Ancient Sect! Liu Xiong realized with alarm. The Vibrant Blaze Domain fell to the demon race, and these cultivators have clearly turned into demonic cultivators.

The Honorable Holy Son predicted this—he warned that demonic forces might infiltrate this Cave Heaven. His foresight is truly remarkable!

I must inform him at once! Regaining his composure, Liu Xiong quickly sent a message to Jiang Chen.

In the end, Gu Ran might eliminate both Liu Xiong and the demonic cultivators, securing all the benefits for himself.

This is a dangerous situation, Jiang Chen realized with growing unease.

If he did nothing, the chances were high that things would unfold exactly as he predicted. Gu Ran would walk away victorious, leaving Jiang Chen at a disadvantage.

Originally, I wanted to save my Villain Value points, Jiang Chen mused. But now, I have no choice but to intervene. The System Mall will have what I need to break this stalemate.

To maintain my edge over Gu Ran, I’ll need a top-tier tracking treasure. It won’t come cheap, but it’s worth the cost, he decided, pulling up the System Mall interface to begin his search.

Low-grade treasures wouldn’t cut it for this task.

To cover a distance of over a million kilometers, I’ll need something at least at the Dao Comprehension level, he concluded.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen had been accumulating Villain Value steadily. His balance had risen from 15,000 points to an impressive 46,600 points!

With enough Villain Value points to redeem a Dao Comprehension-level treasure, Jiang Chen swiftly searched through the System Mall. His eyes soon landed on an intriguing item: the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils.

Crafted from the pupils of a Dao Comprehension realm demonic beast called the Fate Chaser Kite, this treasure could track targets across vast distances. Although it had usage limitations, it wasn’t a one-time item—it could be activated up to nine times.

"System, redeem the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils!" Jiang Chen commanded without hesitation.

[Ding! You’ve spent 42,000 Villain Value points and successfully redeemed the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils ×1!]

Moments later, two gleaming red crystals appeared in Jiang Chen’s palm.

Interesting. They look like colored contact lenses, Jiang Chen observed before promptly placing them over his eyes. As he did, his irises turned a striking blood-red hue.

Wu Qian, standing nearby, couldn’t help but ask, "Holy Son Jiang Chen, what are those?"

"It’s nothing of importance," Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly. "A close friend of mine is in this Cave Heaven, and it seems he’s in trouble."

With that, he brushed his right hand’s index and middle fingers over the Fate Chasing Kite Pupils, infusing them with a trace of Liu Xiong’s aura.

Though Jiang Chen had also gathered Gu Ran’s aura earlier, he wasn’t entirely confident the treasure could track Gu Ran effectively. Gu Ran is skilled at hiding himself, and his bloodline might interfere with tracking abilities like this.

To ensure reliability, Jiang Chen chose Liu Xiong’s aura as his target instead.
