Simultaneously.
[Ding! You have slightly altered the plot, successfully preventing the protagonist, Gu Ran, from showing off and emerging victorious. Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 300 points!]
[Ding! You have earned 600 Villain Value points!]
The system prompts echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, pulling a smile onto his face.
The commanding figure who had conveniently 'passed by' the location of Gu Ran and Fu Huacan, was, of course, none other than him!
Throughout the entire event, he didn't show himself, nor did he reveal his aura, cultivation base, or even the slightest ripple of his divine sense.
The entire procedure was overseen by Nangong Wan!
That icy snort was also emitted by Nangong Wan!
In this manner, Gu Ran would remain oblivious to Jiang Chen's existence, thus maintaining the upper hand in information secrecy.
'By interfering, I managed to prevent the dandy cultivator, Fu Huacan, from successfully 'lending a helping hand' to Gu Ran, bringing this plotline to a temporary halt.'
'However, influenced by the Heavenly Fate, Fu Huacan and the others are destined to cross paths with Gu Ran again, eventually leading to hostility and their ultimate downfall.'
'After Gu Ran offends the Fu Clan of Black Wood Island, his path will intersect with the Feng Clan due to the ties between the Fu and Feng Clans, among other reasons...'
'Thus, I will head back to Black Wood Island to continue my covert interference in Gu Ran's 'storyline', aiming to halt his triumphant rise!'
'...'
With this plan in mind, Jiang Chen readied himself to journey back to Black Wood Island.
But then!
Just at that moment!
"Roar——!!"
An intensely terrifying roar suddenly boomed from the seabed nearby.
Following that, it felt as though an underwater volcano had erupted!
A massive column of seawater blasted up from the seabed, creating a monstrous wave, before plummeting down with a terrifying force!
Boom!
As if a giant peak in the ocean had collapsed, numerous massive waves radiated outward, sweeping across the vicinity!
During this event, an extraordinarily powerful aura blanketed a large section of the surrounding sea!
This aura... it undoubtedly belonged to the Dao Palace realm!!
Beyond this potent aura, a faint tinge of scarlet began to diffuse across the ocean and the sky.
'Holy smokes!'
'Could this be the eruption of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi?'
'Incredibly, has the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi erupted here in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea?!'
'The Purple Heaven Holy Land just overcame Long Tianlu and repelled the Nether Demon Clan. In such a brief time, could the Nether Demon Clan have initiated an invasion here in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea?!'
Detecting the faint Nether Demon Spiritual Qi in the air, Jiang Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.
Then, it dawned on him.
The reason for the Nether Demon Clan's invasion of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea undoubtedly had to do with the protagonist, Gu Ran!
As the protagonist, how could Gu Ran not partake in an event as monumental as the Nether Demon Clan invading the Immortal Martial Continent?
He was bound to engage in the battle against the Nether Demon Clan, blazing a path of strength!
Throughout this journey, making a name for himself and joining the battle for the title of the 'number one prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent'.
Eventually, he would stand off against Jiang Chen, succeed in flaunting his prowess and triumphing, leapfrogging to become the number one prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent. This would stun the entire world, earning him countless admirers and a horde of girls throwing themselves at his feet...
'Damn!'
'The protagonist halo is truly exasperating!'
'Just because of him, the Nether Demon invasion simply occurs!'
'Now, I'm likely to get tangled up with this Dao Palace realm demon.'
'While Gu Ran has the liberty to slaughter demons at will, plundering their cultivation base to become stronger.'
'...'
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes in frustration, extending his divine sense towards the part of the sea from where the roaring and the potent aura were originating.
Boom!
From the depths of the dark and frightening seabed, a massive pit appeared, with the seawater churning and roiling endlessly!
A substantial amount of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi painted the surrounding seawater a vivid red.
Furthermore, increasing volumes of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi erupted from the pit on the seabed, forming an eerie 'pillar of light'!
Splash! Splash!
A gargantuan creature, as large as a mountain, swam within the seabed, its formidable body faintly discernible in the shadowy waters.
It was a Late-stage Dao Palace realm demonic beast that had been corrupted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi!
Its form resembled a gigantic octopus with innumerable tentacles.
Its size surpassed one hundred thousand meters, and every movement it made could set off a terrifying natural catastrophe!
Furthermore, within the brain of this colossal octopus-like demonic beast, Jiang Chen detected another aura of the Dao Palace realm, this time emanating from the Demon Race!
And it was a familiar aura from the Nether Soul Demon Clan!
This Dao Palace realm Nether Soul Demon Clan member seemed to have employed some special technique to temporarily fuse with the octopus-like demonic beast, resulting in an even more formidable entity!
'This creature!'
'Could it be one of the Nether Soul Demon Clan members who escaped from the clash at the Verdant Leaf Giant Peak?!'
'Defeated and driven away from the Purple Heaven Holy Land, their leader was killed, and surprisingly, rather than recuperating, they've chosen to immediately invade the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.'
'Furthermore, it seems the Nether Demon Clan is planning to seize the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea in one swift action, using it as a base to extend their reach throughout the Lustrous Yang Domain!'
'Well, there were four Dao Palace realm demons that escaped previously, and with this newly surfaced Dao Palace realm demonic beast, that makes five Dao Palace realm combatants!'
'On the other hand, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea only has three Dao Palace realm beings, and their combat power is mediocre.'
'With such might, it's indeed plausible according to calculations that the Nether Demon Clan could take over the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.'
'However, the arrival of the Nether Demon Clan is essentially a boon for Gu Ran.'
'Of course, it's possible that the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect might genuinely fall, after all, they are the adversaries of Gu Ran.'
'...'
Watching the undercurrents brewing beneath the sea and the Dao Palace realm demon, Jiang Chen's mind was awash with numerous thoughts.
At this moment.
Boom!
There was another eruption from the seabed pit.
This explosion resulted in countless fissures instantaneously forming in the seabed of the surrounding sea area.
Within the tumultuous sea, a horde of demonic beasts tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi surged forth wildly, their objective being to assault the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect!
And standing as the initial line of defense against these demonic beasts was the susceptible Black Wood Island!
'Damn, there are so many!'
'But then again, the more I can slaughter, the better!'
'Plus, these demonic beasts offer quite the opportunity for me, heh heh!'
Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the rushing demonic beasts, a slow smirk gradually spreading across his face.
Then.
'Myriad Changes Everlasting Sword!'
Jiang Chen unsheathed the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword and slashed fiercely into the ocean below!
Splash!
This mystical Sword Dao technique instantly split into numerous sword threads, slaying a multitude of demonic beasts in the blink of an eye!
However, this time, Jiang Chen specifically aimed for demonic beasts below the Heavenly Origin realm.
This was because these demonic beasts were the primary prey for Gu Ran, who currently could not handle advanced demonic beasts.
Swoosh!
Splatter!
With a single swing of Jiang Chen's sword, the area spanning tens of thousands of miles beneath him instantly transformed into a sea of blood!
