Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 360: Mo Hao's False Sense of Security

At this pivotal juncture, Jiang Chen had already masked his presence and successfully made his way back to Ying Luo and Mo Hao's vicinity.

No sooner had he arrived than his divine sense picked up a colossal demon legion.

'Over a hundred thousand in count!' he realized inwardly.

'This must be the same demon legion Ying Luo had previously evaded. They've regrouped and added more troops to their ranks.'

'I can't believe we've run into this demon legion again after all the maneuvering we've done!'

'Worse yet, lurking within this demon legion is a nether soul demon proficient in divine sense, who has achieved the Peak-stage Transcendence realm!'

'That fiend has already pinpointed Ying Luo, Mo Hao, and the others' locations!'

Jiang Chen scrutinized the demon legion attentively, his Villain's Eye sweeping across them.

However, within this vast demon legion, sixteen entities possessed combat abilities at the Transcendence realm level.

Of these, the nether soul demon skilled in divine sense had already located Ying Luo and the others, and was rapidly leading the army towards them.

Unmistakably, Ying Luo was their intended target!

At that instant, Ying Luo also sensed the fast-approaching demon army and was about to direct everyone to retreat.

But just at that moment, a familiar feeling emanated from above her head.

Without needing to ponder, Ying Luo immediately knew that Jiang Chen had returned.

"Ao, ao, Big Brother is back, I'm so happy!" Unable to restrain her enthusiasm, Ying Luo let out a subdued roar.

"Good," Jiang Chen responded, gently stroking Ying Luo's dragon horn, his own face lighting up with happiness.

Without delay, Jiang Chen initiated communication with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning in his sea of consciousness, intent on practicing a Nirvana Peering cultivation method.

The trio of souls quickly settled on the most fitting cultivation method—'Myriad Changes Hidden Void Blade Technique'!

Provided by Nangong Wan, this was a space-related Nirvana Peering realm technique. Upon mastering it, one could wield the power of space to unleash attacks so fearsome they were nearly impossible to defend against, effective in both individual and group combat scenarios.

While this technique merely tapped into the power of space rather than fully mastering the Great Dao of Space, its attack prowess and speed still significantly outmatched conventional methods.

At this juncture, Mo Hao sensed something unusual in Ying Luo and asked with a hint of skepticism, "Senior True Dragon! What's happening with you?"

"Nothing much, just that this dragon is almost back to full strength," Ying Luo replied with a grin, "And it's right on cue—we've encountered that hundred-thousand-strong demon army again!"

"This dragon has made up its mind. No more evading; I'm facing them head-on!"

"Human boy, you mentioned you had some technique to get stronger, right? This time, I'll handle the strongest of them; the rest is on you," she stated gravely, adhering to Jiang Chen's directions.

Hearing Ying Luo's declaration, Mo Hao was so exhilarated that his lips quivered, barely managing to stammer out, "What! We've encountered that demon army again!?"

"And Senior True Dragon, you're almost fully recovered!"

"Fantastic, simply fantastic! I'll definitely rise to the occasion, act in a pretentious manner to power up, and wipe out all these demons!"

A hundred thousand-strong demon army serving as the object for him to show-off!

What's more, there was even a true dragon willingly offering assistance, helping him face off against the demon elites. This provided him the perfect chance to grandstand and grow stronger.

Truly, this was an extraordinary, golden opportunity.

What Mo Hao couldn't possibly fathom was that this entire setup had been deliberately orchestrated by Jiang Chen, solely to bring him down.

"Alright! The demons are closing in!" Ying Luo announced gravely, "Focus your attention to the south!"

"Okay!" Mo Hao nodded enthusiastically, directing his divine sense toward the southern horizon.

As expected, his divine sense soon picked up the enormous demon army advancing their way.

The powerhouses in the Transcendence realm within this demon army were also brimming with excitement!

Bo Luncang had not only issued a death order to capture the true dragon alive but also promised significant rewards for doing so.

The benefits of capturing a true dragon alive were beyond imagination.

Given the sight of the true dragon before them, how could they not be ecstatic?

As to the question of whether they could actually capture the true dragon, not a single demon present harbored any doubts.

Capturing a true dragon alive after depleting its strength with a hundred-thousand-strong army would be akin to flipping over one's hand, especially considering a thirty-thousand-strong army had already forced it to reveal all its trump cards.

"Quick, quick, quick!" came the urgent shouts, "The true dragon is right up ahead!"

"This true dragon sees our hundred-thousand-strong army and isn't fleeing. Does it intend to face us head-on?"

"Dragons have always had a lofty disposition. When confronted with beings of a similar tier, they seldom back down. It must be thinking of resisting us with its solitary might!"

"Heh heh, I've always had a fondness for such mindlessly arrogant creatures. Let's charge together!"

Discussing amongst themselves, the Transcendence realm demon powerhouses promptly arranged themselves into a crescent formation, encircling the true dragon and Mo Hao.

The aim was to thwart any escape attempts by Ying Luo.

"Human boy! Let's move!" Ying Luo unleashed a low roar toward Mo Hao, and in a flash, erupted from her spot, transforming into a majestic divine dragon.

Her colossal dragon form instantly eclipsed the sun and moon, casting an immense shadow over the land below.

Mo Hao discreetly followed in her wake.

"The true dragon is advancing! To prevent friendly fire, all those below the Transcendence realm are to hold their positions!" commanded the most potent Transcendence realm demon within the demon ranks, his voice resonating loudly.

Without delay, all the demons falling below the Transcendence realm came to a complete stop.

In coordinated groups, sixteen Transcendence realm demons lunged at the true dragon.

Among these sixteen, four were in the Late-stage Transcendence realm, each with their unique attack styles. When they joined forces, their collective battle power surged to the level of Peak-stage Transcendence realm.

Supporting them were twelve demons in the Early to Middle-stage Transcendence realm, fully equipped to deplete the true dragon of its energy.

Meanwhile, Mo Hao observed the demon legion dividing into two separate groups, with those below the Transcendence realm keeping their distance. His face lit up in delight, "They've separated! This is fantastic, as if the heavens themselves are assisting me!"

First, he needed to rack up Pretentious Points so that he could continually act in a pretentious manner, thereby incrementally boosting his strength.

With this plan in mind, Mo Hao decided his first act of pretentiousness would be aimed at the hundred-thousand-strong demon army below the Transcendence realm. Activating his clan's secret art to conceal his aura to that of a Half-step Transcendence realm level, he charged toward the demon forces.

The Transcendence realm demons hardly paid Mo Hao any mind.

Their focus was solely on the true dragon!

In their eyes, Mo Hao, a mere Half-step Transcendence realm combatant, daring to assault a hundred-thousand-strong demon army, was simply seeking his own demise!

Thus, no one took the initiative to intercept Mo Hao.

In a blink, the group of sixteen Transcendence realm demons reached Ying Luo.

Disregarding the numerous disdainful and scornful gazes, Mo Hao advanced as though ready to meet his end, charging straight toward the demon army of a hundred thousand.

"Heh heh," Mo Hao looked at those disdainful eyes and unleashed a sequence of cold, derisive chuckles. Internally, he gloated, 'Bear witness, all of you! The moment for Mo Hao to act pretentiously is upon us!'

Yet, just as the conflict was on the brink of igniting, a muffled snort resounded across the battlefield, its source a mystery.

In the very next moment, an overwhelmingly fearsome aura shrouded the entire area.

Each person felt an acute chill infiltrating their very bones and souls, causing their hairs to bristle, as if teetering on the edge of detonation.

It was the spine-chilling sensation of impending doom!

"What?!" someone cried out, their voice tinged with disbelief and terror.

"Damn it, a human powerhouse has appeared! This aura... it's from the Nirvana Peering realm!"

"How can this be? Isn't the Nirvana Peering realm powerhouse who descended upon the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star in the Pure Frost Domain the only one? How can there be another such powerhouse here in the Immortal Martial Continent?!"

"No, this can't be happening. I don't want to die!"

Every demon present, from the self-important Late-stage Transcendence realm elites down to the expendable troops hiding among the ranks, displayed faces etched with utter despair.

Meanwhile, Mo Hao was equally stunned, gripped by sheer horror. A palpable sense of dread surged within him!
