Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 351: The Horrified Bo Luncang

With a sharp inhale, "Hiss!" Ying Luo made the demon corpse disintegrate into fine particles, which she then collected.

In reality, however, it was Jiang Chen absorbing both the cultivation base and the qi and blood energy.

Additionally, he gained something else: Villain Value!

[Ding! You have slightly altered the plot, successfully preventing Protagonist Mo Hao from acting in a pretentious manner. Mo Hao's Heavenly Fate Value decreases by 1500 points!]

[Ding! You have gained 3000 Villain Value points!]

Witnessing this scene, Mo Hao covered his face in sheer disappointment. "Ah, no! My targets for acting pretentious—my Pretentious Points!"

As he saw his opportunities for pretentious behavior vanish, it was as though he'd lost a treasure.

Behind Mo Hao, the other cultivators were left utterly bewildered.

Some even cast questioning, distrustful glances his way.

It was inevitable—Mo Hao's actions and words were so erratic that he seemed completely unreliable, almost like a lunatic.

"Eh? Why the long face? I killed the demons; is that what's upsetting you?" Flying back, guided by Jiang Chen, Ying Luo questioned Mo Hao.

"No, absolutely not. I had plans to act pretentious in front of them to gain strength," Mo Hao quickly clarified, shaking his head. "I didn't expect they'd flee upon seeing you, only to be killed by you."

"Oh, so you're laying the blame on me, then?" Ying Luo responded, her smile tinged with coldness.

"No, no, no," Mo Hao hastily denied. "How could I blame you? I was just saying."

He then asked with high hopes, "By the way, Senior True Dragon, didn't you mention giving me an opportunity to show off?"

Ying Luo replied skeptically, "When did I say I was giving you a chance to show off? I gave you an opportunity to prove you could become strong quickly."

"And now what? You're saying that my killing those demons stopped you from getting stronger?" Her deep dragon eyes bore into Mo Hao.

"I didn't mean it like that," Mo Hao explained nervously. "It's just that these weak demons don't warrant your personal involvement. Why concern yourself with such trivial matters?"

"If we run into these minor foes again, please leave them to me," he added earnestly. "Your true adversaries are those at the Late-stage and Peak-stage of the Transcendence realm!" He was somewhat anxious, worrying that the true dragon might form a negative impression of him.

"You do have a point," Ying Luo conceded with a nod. Then her tone shifted, "However, it's been a long time since I've been active. I quite enjoy dealing with these demons myself."

Hearing this, Mo Hao's expression instantly tightened.

If Ying Luo took action against every demon they encountered, what role would be left for him, Mo Hao?

As the true dragon dispatched demons left and right, he'd be relegated to a mere bystander. Not only would he miss the chance to act pretentious, he wouldn't even be able to fake it.

"Let's go," Ying Luo announced cheerfully. "I'm in a good mood today."

"I'll help you exterminate all these demons!" Her face took on a compassionate expression, and despite having a dragon's head, her emotion was palpable.

"Thank you, Lord True Dragon!" the voices exclaimed reverently.

"Great Lord True Dragon, we'll worship you for the rest of our lives!"

"Thank you, Senior True Dragon, for avenging me! Wuuu!"

Tears of gratitude in their eyes, the human cultivators once again knelt before Ying Luo.

"Everyone, stand up; more demons are on the way." Ying Luo tossed out the sentence casually before flying ahead.

"This is infuriating! She's slaying all the demons we come across; I have no chance to act pretentious!" Mo Hao muttered to himself, frustrated, as he stood there. The human cultivators promptly took off, closely tailing Ying Luo.

Soon after, Mo Hao mentally consoled himself. 'Alright, when we face enemies in the Late-stage Transcendence realm, that will be my moment to shine.'

'By then, she'll surely be taken aback by me. The more confident she is now, the more astounded she'll be later. Her awe and admiration for me will deepen!'

His expression lightening, Mo Hao thought, 'Just endure it for the time being; things will improve soon.' Then he too took off, following Ying Luo.

It wasn't long before they ran into another group of marauding demons.

...

Simultaneously, in the Vibrant Blaze Domain, Bo Luncang's expression underwent a drastic change as he received news from the Western Ice Domain. "What? A true dragon has surfaced in the Western Ice Domain?"

"Can we confirm it's actually a true dragon and not just some dragon-shaped demonic beast with an inferior bloodline?" he inquired skeptically.

True dragons are an extraordinarily fearsome cosmic race.

Despite the demon race's vast distribution and immense power throughout the universe, they maintain a high degree of caution when it comes to true dragons.

Just then, another message arrived.

It revealed that a second group of demons in the Western Ice Domain had been eradicated by the true dragon. Before meeting their end, they too had relayed the same information—that a true dragon had defeated them!

'Could it genuinely be a true dragon?' Bo Luncang wondered in disbelief.

'But how could that be?'

'The Immortal Martial Continent is merely a fragmentary land governed by the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.'

'In the entire Profound Jade Immortal Domain, there's not even a hint of true dragons. How could one show up here?'

'Forget about true dragons—even dragon-shaped demonic beasts with inferior bloodlines shouldn't be here!'

'What on Earth is happening?' He was both horrified and rife with questions.

Pacing back and forth, he was visibly conflicted.

Then a third message arrived from the Western Ice Domain. A demon army had run into a true dragon, and the two were now in a standoff!

'Again, it's reported to be a true dragon!?' Bo Luncang thought, utterly astounded. 'Could they have genuinely come across a member of the true dragon race?'

Impatiently, he commanded, "Quick, activate the Myriad Demons Sky Piercing Mirror. Instruct them to find a way to transmit images and aura back here!"

His skepticism toward the reports had plummeted, but he still didn't entirely trust his subordinates and was determined to verify the situation himself.

...

Meanwhile, in the Western Ice Domain, Jiang Chen and his party had run into a demon army thirty thousand strong!

Initially, the first two squads wiped out by Ying Luo had also relayed messages to other dispersed squads of the demon race.

These demonic squads harbored doubts and skepticism about the veracity of the information.

Yet, regardless of whether they were up against a true dragon, the opponent's strength was undeniably formidable—reaching the Late-stage Transcendence realm!

Consequently, numerous squads of the demon race coalesced to form this formidable army, numbering over thirty thousand, with five individuals possessing the strength of the Transcendence realm.

Of those five Transcendence realm demons, two had reached the Late-stage Transcendence realm.

Despite their sizeable force, the demon army was steeped in trepidation.

That was because their opponent was a true dragon—a true dragon in the Late-stage Transcendence realm!

The fighting capability of the true dragon race significantly outmatched that of beings at the same level. Even an ordinary true dragon could outperform the prodigies of other races.

The crucial point was the immense strength represented by the true dragon race.

It wasn't merely a question of whether they could win.

Even if victory were possible, they had to contemplate the consequences of provoking such a formidable force!

Hence, this assembly of demons was almost entirely devoid of the will to fight.

On the opposing end, Jiang Chen was concealed within Ying Luo's dragon mane. Mo Hao, leading a contingent of a few thousand human cultivators, faced off against the demon race army, whose formation was overwhelming in scale.

Unsurprisingly, those few thousand humans were almost paralyzed with fear.

The might of the demon army confronting them was staggering, featuring five beings in the Transcendence realm alone.
