Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate (Old Version)

As the rose-tinted light of dawn permeated the world outside, Jiang Chen was sequestered in the tranquility of his meditation chamber.

The serenity of the chamber stood in stark contrast to the burgeoning life of the new day beyond.

Meanwhile, in the upstairs bedroom, Ning Xian was cradled under a thick quilt woven from silky azure feathers, immersed in peaceful slumber.

Her serene expression bore witness to the emotional purging that transpired the previous night.

While in meditation, Jiang Chen found his thoughts drifting back to the warmth and closeness of their shared experience.

A gentle smile tugged at his lips as he reveled in the fond reminiscence.

Following the path of his reflections, his left hand instinctively rose.

His attention was drawn to the Eternal Vows Binding Ring adorning his finger.

"What might be the origins of this ring?"

Jiang Chen found himself questioning aloud.

His curiosity was sparked by another astonishing capability that the ring had unveiled.

During his intimate exploration with Ning Xian, the ring had activated a dual cultivation function, seemingly integral to its core design.

This discovery was both startling and fascinating to him.

This mechanism was non-intrusive, honoring his agency by necessitating his explicit consent to initiate.

Furthermore, if his partner wore her matching matrimonial ring, it could potentially augment their aptitude and enlightenment with his endorsement.

Pondering these new aspects, Jiang Chen found himself enthralled by the ring's intricacies.

Undoubtedly, Ning Xian was the chief beneficiary of this unforeseen benefit.

Considering her relatively modest cultivation base, her capabilities could hardly contribute to the enhancement of Jiang Chen.

Likewise, in terms of aptitude and enlightenment, her contributions were significantly overshadowed by his.

However, this imbalance mattered little in the eyes of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was, in essence, an aberration in this world of cultivation, endowed with a plethora of heaven-defying, destiny-shaping treasures.

Keeping pace with him was a task few could accomplish.

Perhaps only those revered as the Sons of Heavenly Fate could vie with him, such was his extraordinary stature to this day.

Yet, such realities did little to tarnish his affection for Ning Xian.

His resolve to aid his beloved ones in growing stronger never diminished, irrespective of the initial discrepancy between their capabilities.

He had always held one principle sacrosanct: when it came to enhancing the strength of the women in his life, he would spare no 'effort'.

His introspection drew to a close as his gaze realigned to the task at hand.

"It's time to redirect my energies towards cultivation and bolstering my cultivation base."

Jiang Chen spoke to himself, his mind settling into serenity.

His gaze withdrew inward, concentrating on the complex landscape of his own body.

His consciousness traversed the intricate channels, ultimately anchoring at his dantian.

Abruptly, a peculiar spectacle unfurled before him.

Floating serenely within his dantian was an immaculate white orb, akin to a full moon basking in the ethereal glow of silvery light.

This radiant sphere cast its celestial luminescence throughout his entire being!

Dantian, meridians, flesh, bones, and down to the smallest cellsall basked and flourished in the nurturing radiance of this 'full moon'.

This orb carried the distinctive hallmark of the Heavenly Origin realmthe Heavenly Core!

In the Mysterious Platform realm, the swirling Yuan Power would condense, assuming the form of a white square platform.

As the cultivator ascended to the Heavenly Origin realm, this platform would undergo transformation, evolving into the Heavenly Core.

The Heavenly Core, the nexus of Yuan Power for cultivators of the Heavenly Origin realm.

Its presence signified a tremendous boost in the quality and reserve of a cultivator's Yuan Power, surpassing the Mysterious Platform realm by several magnitudes.

In this moment, his Yuan Power initiated a remarkable metamorphosis.

From this point forward, it could be referred to as the Heavenly Yuan Power!

Under the celestial nourishment of the Heavenly Yuan Power, a cultivator's attributes underwent a significant transformation.

A cultivator's various attributes would experience a metamorphic elevation.

Techniques and secret arts invoked with the Heavenly Yuan Power gained increased potency, their effects exceeding previous limitations.

Thus, the gap separating the Heavenly Origin realm from the Mysterious Platform realm was as vast as the infinite sky and the extensive earth.

'The higher the cultivator's realm, the more pronounced the disparity between neighboring realms.'

Jiang Chen pondered. His gaze turned speculative as he continued, 'I cannot predict the realm of the protagonist I am fated to encounter next. I can only hope it is not a realm above mine.'

With a sigh, he cleared his thoughts and brought forth a variety of cultivation methods.

The ones that demanded immediate attention were those procured from the Cave Heaven secret realm, the priceless inheritance left by the enigmatic owner of that realm!

Jiang Chen surmised that the realm of this esteemed powerhouse, before his demise, must have been at the pinnacle of the Second Step of the Cultivation Paththe Dao Palace realm.

The reasoning was straightforward.

Among the array of cultivation method legacies, there were three from the Dao Palace realm!

Not just that, seven originated from the Dao Comprehension realm, over ten from the Inquiring Journey realm, and a staggering forty-five from the Heavenly Origin realm!

"If I could master all these cultivation methods..."

Jiang Chen pondered, his eyes glistening with anticipation. "I wonder, to what realm could my combat prowess rise..."

His gaze landed on a small booklet amongst the numerous legacies, its pages soon flipping open under his fingers.

This was a unique piece, not a cultivation method, but a chronicle detailing the actions taken by the master of the Cave Heaven secret realm prior to his demise.

The master, who referred to himself as Immortal Tian Cui, was a formidable figure within the Dao Palace realm.

However, despite his strenuous efforts, the elusive threshold to the first realm of the Third Step of the Cultivation Paththe Transcendence realmremained unbreached.

It was amidst this struggle that fate bestowed upon Immortal Tian Cui an extraordinary opportunity.

He obtained a bloodline, the bloodline of the Death Calamity True Dragon!

The Death Calamity True Dragon, from the lineage of true dragons, was renowned for commanding the Void Tribulation realm upon reaching maturity.

Their power was unparalleled, terrifyingly formidable!

Should Immortal Tian Cui successfully incorporate the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline, his progression to the Transcendence realm would be an inevitable consequence.

However, it proved an arduous task to imbue a human form with the bloodline of a true dragon.

After numerous trials, Immortal Tian Cui was met with repeated failures, and he ultimately succumbed to death.

The Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf was a consequence of these ventures.

Spawned from a highly diluted variant of the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline, it stood as a testament to the resilience of these experiments.

Even though its spirit had long faded, its physical form had endured the ravages of time.

This lasting relic was evidence of the formidable strength inherent in the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline.

"Hehe! The bloodline of the Death Calamity True Dragon, huh!"

A subtle smile adorned Jiang Chen's lips. "Immortal Tian Cui might have failed to assimilate it, but for me, it is but a trivial matter!"

Indeed, with the activation of his system, Jiang Chen was granted the Eternal Boundless Bodya physique capable of absorbing and integrating any bloodline in existence.

The bloodline of the Death Calamity True Dragon was naturally no exception to this capacity.

However, Jiang Chen held back the impulse to immediately assimilate the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline.

He continued to peruse the compact booklet, curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

Soon, he unearthed the mystery surrounding the giant egg.

It appeared that this mysterious giant egg was the product of a dragon seed, nurtured by the diluted blood of the Death Calamity True Dragon.

The egg was christened as the 'Void White Dragon'!

While the Void White Dragon seed was robust enough to absorb the diluted blood of the Death Calamity True Dragon, a deficiency of vital energy had obstructed its maturation process.

As his life neared its conclusion, Immortal Tian Cui generated an array of blood-hued humanoid monstrosities.

His dying aspiration was that these entities might one day trigger the birth of the Void White Dragon, thereby fulfilling a longing that lingered with him until his final moments.

"So, the Void White Dragon, it seems."

Jiang Chen murmured, his voice tinged with fascination. "It requires a substantial amount of qi and blood energy for its maturation. However, that's something I presently need. We'll revisit this matter later."

He then shifted his thoughts to the Death Calamity True Dragon's bloodline.

"Perhaps I could attempt to assimilate it later. Firstly, I need to absorb the qi and blood energy, and then I'll ponder over the rest."

Jiang Chen deliberated.

Then, with a determined air, he conjured a collection of storage artifacts, systematically arraying them in front of him.

Each artifact was crammed with bodies.

"Let's start with you!"

With a concentrated stare, Jiang Chen selected one itemthe Moondust Ring.

It was the dwelling place of the corpse of a formidable creature, the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, whose power was barely shy of the Heavenly Origin realm.
