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

Simultaneously.

"This creature is at the Middle-stage Mysterious Platform realm!"

"With my combat capabilities, defeating it should pose no problem!"

"Yet, I'm unsure if this entity can be considered a living being. Maybe my Wordless Heavenly Jade can directly absorb its qi and blood!"

"..."

Ye Fan concealed himself in the shadows, observing the creature as it feasted upon the corpse, a flicker of light dancing in his eyes.

Not long after.

He glanced left and right momentarily before producing a white jade token.

The jade token appeared quite ordinary; even some transmission jade tokens seemed more intricate and lavish by comparison.

Nonetheless.

It captured nearly all of Jiang Chen's focus!

'Ye Fan is exercising extreme caution and vigilance.'

'This white jade token must be his ace in the hole!'

'An ace related to cultivation methods!'

Jiang Chen inhaled deeply and continued to intently observe Ye Fan.

He watched as Ye Fan positioned the white jade token in his left hand, gently pinching it, causing one corner of the token to embed itself into his flesh and blood.

Gradually.

Numerous blood threads emerged from Ye Fan's hand and extended onto the jade token.

Before long, the once immaculate white jade token appeared as though it was enveloped in blood threads, akin to the whites of eyes, exuding a sinister aura.

Immediately following.

Ye Fan, brandishing his long sword, charged headlong toward the blood-colored creature!

"Roar!!"

The blood-colored creature instantly detected Ye Fan and unleashed a roar.

Perhaps it hadn't anticipated that while it savored its meal, additional sustenance would be delivered right to its doorstep.

In the following moment.

"Violent Tiger Power!"

"Jade Harmony Mist Veiled Sword!"

An immense force abruptly erupted from Ye Fan, and both he and his long sword nearly transformed into a slender streak, assaulting the monster!

'Violent Tiger Power!'

'This is my Jiang Clan's cultivation method!'

'Ye Fan, that despicable individual, actually knows this secret art... It seems I was correct; his predecessor's parents must have already perished!'

Jiang Chen's eyebrows knit together slightly as he persisted in observing Ye Fan.

On the battlefield.

"Roar!"

The creature brandished its lithe limbs, as its razor-sharp, menacing black talons lunged at Ye Fan with ferocity!

Slash!

The distinct sound of a keen blade piercing through flesh echoed.

One of the beast's appendages soared skyward.

Ruby droplets of blood spattered onto the earth, giving rise to billows of heated mist!

Immediately after!

Rivulets of crimson energy seeped from the severed limb on the ground and the creature's mangled stump.

Then, like a fine scarlet haze, it coalesced around Ye Fan, fusing into the blood-streaked jade token in his left hand!

The ivory jade token, enriched by the sanguine mist, trembled faintly, emitting an even more potent suction force!

The dismembered appendage on the ground rapidly depleted of its qi and blood, turning shriveled and desiccated like timber.

Similarly, the beast's injured stump gushed with its vital qi and blood energy, as if being siphoned away.

These life forces all funneled into the jade token.

The blood-hued creature, depleted of a significant portion of its qi and blood energy, swiftly began to weaken.

The blood-hued monster's aura visibly plummeted to the Early stage Mysterious Platform realm.

And it continued to decline!

Unable to even stabilize its realm, the creature's innate regenerative ability naturally failed to activate.

As a result.

In the eyes of the onlookers, the once-troublesome blood-hued monster appeared exceedingly vulnerable before Ye Fan.

Soon.

The blood-hued creature fell from the Mysterious Platform realm, growing even weaker.

"Die!"

Ye Fan seized the opportunity, thrusting his sword through the monster's skull in a single stroke, the blade's tip impeccably securing a golden-red inner core!

Thump!

The immense form of the blood-hued monster crumpled to the ground, utterly motionless.

'My Wordless Heavenly Jade truly possesses the ability to absorb the qi and blood energy of this monster during battle!'

'It appears that this entity is not a living creature... I wonder how many more such monsters dwell within the Cave Heaven secret realm. This is simply the most ideal prey for me!'

'...'

A glint of delight flickered in Ye Fan's eyes as he inserted the jade token in his left hand directly into the wound on the monster's skull.

Swiftly.

The blood-colored monster's corpse withered away.

Yet, it wasn't over.

Ye Fan retrieved the golden-red monster's inner core that he had just procured and placed it atop the jade token.

The blood streaks on the jade token's surface slithered onto the golden-red inner core, resembling living organisms, and then commenced absorbing its distinct energy.

The golden-red inner core transformed into a gray-white hue, and subsequently disintegrated into a wisp of white ash that vanished with the breeze.

'Incredible!'

'Such potent energy!'

'With this energy for the Wordless Heavenly Jade to consume, I can accelerate my cultivation practice!'

'Since the energy is abundant, and the surroundings are relatively secure, why not find a place to practice my cultivation methods!'

Pondering in his heart, Ye Fan promptly made a decision: to practice his cultivation methods and fortify himself!

Primarily, it was Jiang Chen's appearance that led him to face setbacks and adopt a more vigilant approach, fostering an urgent yearning to enhance his strength.

Otherwise.

He likely would have scoured every corner for the blood-colored monsters, amassing more energy for the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

Subsequently.

Ye Fan retrieved the storage artifact belonging to the Heavenly Blade School disciple from the remains of the blood-colored monster.

Upon inspecting it, he displayed a gratified smile.

Throughout this entire process.

Jiang Chen refrained from intervening to halt him.

This was because he had just launched an attack on Ye Fan earlier.

If he were to strike again now, even if Ye Fan were as astute as a monkey, he should realize that Jiang Chen could trace his whereabouts!

As for the current opportunity.

Relatively speaking, it was merely a minor one.

Biding his time for when it mattered most, Jiang Chen aimed to strike at the crucial moment, in order to deal the most significant blow to Ye Fan!

Furthermore.

Jiang Chen was also curious to observe how Ye Fan would capitalize on these opportunities after acquiring them!

At this instant.

Ye Fan departed from the battlefield and began to move.

Jiang Chen discreetly trailed behind him.

Ye Fan sought a concealed location nearby and concealed himself within it.

He proceeded to sort through the spoils of war stored within the storage artifact.

His primary concern was the cultivation method manuals.

This was because they could rapidly enhance his combat capabilities.

As for the other items, he temporarily set them aside.

Shortly after.

Ye Fan retrieved all the cultivation method manuals he had acquired from the storage artifact.

Included were three Heavenly Origin realm cultivation methods from the Heavenly Blade School!

Even though these three cultivation methods necessitated secret keys for unlocking them.

For Ye Fan, this posed no obstacle whatsoever.

He positioned one of the cultivation methods atop the Wordless Heavenly Jade in his left hand.

The blood-like threads on the jade token appeared to spring to life, extending towards the jade slip that documented the cultivation method.

Instantaneously!

A subtle radiance emanated from the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

Ye Fan's entire body quivered, and an odd expression, a blend of confusion and enlightenment, graced his face.

The confusion on his face diminished, while the enlightenment intensified!

Ultimately.

Ye Fan wholly grasped the cultivation method contained within the jade slip!

Yet it wasn't over!!

The Wordless Heavenly Jade quivered slightly, and a substantial amount of peculiar energy coursed into Ye Fan's body through the blood threads.

"Majestic Gale Heavy Blade!"

Ye Fan couldn't resist rising to his feet, using his right hand as a blade, and commencing practice.

Throughout this practice session.

The Wordless Heavenly Jade persistently channeled energy, infusing it into Ye Fan's limbs and bones!

Upon completing a round of practice.

Every cell within Ye Fan's body had undergone transformation and nourishment from the energy of the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

Although Ye Fan had only executed the 'Majestic Gale Heavy Blade' once, it seemed as though he had trained for dozens or even hundreds of years, attaining the perfect level!

His body even developed an instinctive conditioned reflex!

Should the individuals from the Heavenly Blade School witness this, they would undoubtedly question their existence in that very moment.
