An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 283

The blood river dissipated; the long sword descended. In the sky, a rain of blood began to fall.

“This?”

“The King Yanbei is dead?”

“Just one sword, and it, it killed King Yanbei?”

This scene left several late-stage Void Refining cultivators, who were preparing to besiege Yang Chen, trembling with fear, instantly losing the courage to act. Even someone as powerful as the King Yanbei, at the ninth stage of Void Refining, couldn’t withstand a single sword—let alone them.

Even if they joined forces to attack, they would absolutely not be a match.

The few late-stage Void Refining cultivators who had planned to surround and kill Yang Chen hurriedly retreated hundreds of meters away, terrified of following in the King Yanbei’s footsteps.

The Ethereal Saintess’s beautiful eyes grew solemn, and with a final sigh, she dispersed the icy immortal light that had been gathering around her.

Yu Xuan looked at Yang Chen, who with one man and one sword suppressed these top prodigies of Central Continent until they couldn’t lift their heads, her beautiful eyes rippling with admiration.

After this battle, the Holy Son would be invincible among his peers in Central Continent.

Yang Chen then walked toward Yu Zun. The sword intent on him had not yet dissipated.

Though the onlookers couldn’t identify it as the sword intent of the Ninth Realm of Swordsmanship, its sheer strength still made them feel as if needles were pricking their backs, sending chills down their spines. Especially Yu Zun.

At this moment, he felt as though his surroundings were filled with boundless sword intent. It was as if Yang Chen needed only a single glance to shatter him into pieces with infinite sword intent.

Inevitably, Yu Zun was afraid. With every step Yang Chen took forward, he took a step back. Though he considered himself to possess an invincible demeanor, with his fifth-stage Void Refining cultivation not inferior to any of the late-stage Void Refining prodigies present, at this moment, facing Yang Chen, he felt only a sense of powerlessness surging from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

“Damn it!” Yu Zun cursed himself inwardly, desperately wanting to charge forward and fight Yang Chen to the death. But at this moment, his body refused to obey.

[Ding! Yu Zun feels fear toward the host, his Dao heart has collapsed. Plundering 500 points of Providence Luck from Yu Zun. Host has gained 500 VPs!]

Yang Chen couldn’t help but curse inwardly. Even with his fear and collapsed Dao heart, it only plundered a measly 500 points.

Do I really have to make your little sister and aunt pregnant to completely strip you of your Providence Luck?

With a faint glance at Yu Zun, Yang Chen suddenly slashed out a beam of sword light. However, the sword light didn’t strike Yu Zun but shot straight toward the Golden Sun Holy Son behind him.

The Golden Sun Holy Son’s holy artifact erupted with brilliant immortal light. But in the face of Yang Chen’s ultimate sword strike, it still couldn’t hold up, and his figure dissipated into the blood river.

The holy artifact turned into a streak of light, seized by the remaining cultivators of the Golden Sun Holy Land, who fled quickly.

Yang Chen didn’t move to take it, instead picking up the tomb key that belonged to the Golden Sun Holy Son. He had to secure one of the keys to enter the True Immortal Tomb.

The reason he chose the Golden Sun Holy Son was simply because that guy was too despicable. He was the only one who had tried to cut off their escape earlier.

“Everyone, I won’t hold the past against you. Now, join me in opening the True Immortal Tomb! As for who obtains the True Immortal inheritance, let it depend on your own abilities!”

As Yang Chen spoke, he activated the True Immortal Tomb key in his hand, sending a beam of light toward the stone tablet radiating tricolored immortal light. Seeing this, the others let out a sigh of relief.

They had genuinely feared that this Heavenly Dao Holy Son might, in his anger, start a massacre against them. Though they knew that with this Heavenly Dao Holy Son present, their chances of obtaining the True Immortal inheritance were slim, they still activated the True Immortal Tomb keys in their hands. After all, obtaining the True Immortal inheritance didn’t entirely depend on strength.

They weren’t completely without a chance.

Instantly, eight beams of light converged. The tricolored stone tablet blazed with immortal light. Finally, the immortal light condensed into a radiant gate. A vast immortal might emanated from within.

Though everyone present was at the Void Refining realm, facing this immense immortal might, they all trembled in awe. Some with lower cultivation couldn’t withstand the pressure and fell to their knees. Yang Chen looked at the gate, his expression grave. He carried the blood of several True Immortals in his body. Moreover, he wielded a blood sword capable of slaying True Immortals.

But at this moment, the True Immortal blood and the blood sword within him trembled and hummed in the face of this vast immortal might.

This Aurora Dao Master was not only no ordinary True Immortal—her strength likely far surpassed that of a True Immortal. And it was clear he wasn’t the only one to realize this.

Swish!

A figure darted forward, rushing into the gate ahead of the others.

“Holy Son, we should hurry and enter too!” Yu Xuan quickly said.

Yang Chen nodded and flew into the gate alongside Yu Xuan.

After the eight keyholders entered, some cultivators, feeling the vast immortal might and unwilling to give up, tried to force their way in. But the moment they approached the gate, a piercing scream rang out.  Their figures were instantly purified into nothingness by the tricolored immortal light.

After that, no one dared to attempt forcing their way in again.

Inside the stone tablet space, a massive statue appeared before everyone. The statue depicted a woman, unparalleled in elegance, with breathtaking beauty. Yet at the center of her forehead was a vertical eye, radiating tricolored immortal light.

The strands of immortal light drifting through the stone tablet space emanated from the vertical eye on the statue’s forehead, illuminating the entire world in vibrant, multicolored hues.

“This statue is the Aurora Dao Master?”

“I never imagined she’d be such an elegant and stunning woman!”

A cultivator spoke, gazing in awe at the exquisite statue before them.

“The Ethereal Immortal Palace has a long history and claims to have inherited its lineage from ancient times!”

“The Ethereal Saintess has always stayed aloof from worldly conflicts, yet just now she acted out of character, ready to fight and vie for supremacy—perhaps she knows some secrets we don’t!”

At this moment, Yu Xuan suddenly spoke up.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on the Ethereal Saintess, her tone carrying a hint of ill intent.
