Villain: Destiny Transfer System

Chapter 21 Unexpected Interference

?As the vision in the sky continued to unfold, more and more people were drawn to it. The heavenly light was so bright that it illuminated the entire wasteland, and it drew the attention of powerful figures from all corners of the realm. Some were from high pavilions in other dynasties, while others were from upper realms and holy lands.

"By the heavens, what is that?" exclaimed one cultivator in amazement. "I have never seen anything like it before."

"I don't know, but it looks like some kind of divine blessing," replied another.

"Hmm, what's going on over there?" said a voice from a powerful figure in a distant pavilion. "I sense an incredible concentration of divine energy. It's like nothing I've ever felt before."

"Agreed," said another voice from a great sect. "This is truly remarkable. It seems that a wasteland has given birth to a true genius."

A chorus of celestial voices filled the air, singing praises to the heavens. The clouds began to part, revealing a magnificent scene. In the center of the vision, a majestic phoenix and a powerful dragon were seen soaring through the skies together. Surrounding them were countless other divine beasts, each one more awe-inspiring than the last. The sky was filled with the colors of the rainbow, and the ground shook with the power of the vision.

"It's a sign of the heavens!" exclaimed a powerful cultivator from one of the holy lands. "Someone has been chosen to receive the divine body!"

"The divine body? That's incredible!" gasped another.

Wang Chen was engrossed in refining the Celestial Essence Crystal and didn't notice what was happening around him.

...

Meanwhile, the old man Ku was in awe as he witnessed the heaven vision appearing in the sky. "What's that?" he muttered to himself.

He saw that the vision was focused solely on a particular house and he made his way towards it.

The townspeople were scared and fled as fast as they could. "What's going on? Is this the end of the world?" one of them exclaimed.

As old man Ku approached the house where the vision was focused, he saw that the spiritual energy was dense and trying to move inside. He hurriedly entered the house and saw Wang Chen cultivating there with a crystal in his hand. "What's that boy doing?" he wondered aloud.

The spiritual energy around Wang Chen was telling old man Ku that his cultivation was soaring with a fast speed and was breaking through continuously. "He's already a 2nd stage innate realm cultivator?" said to himself in disbelief. "If his cultivation rises again, it will be hard to kill him and probably he will kill me instead."

The old man Ku knew that a cultivator is most vulnerable when he is about to break through, so he concentrated all his energy on a single attack, seeing that this was his chance. "Die, boy!" he shouted as he moved to attack Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was caught off guard and tried to defend himself, but it was too late as he coughed up blood. "Shit, this is bad," he thought.

The vision that was shocking everyone suddenly became dark, the cultivators could sense a strong sense of negativity and danger emanating from it. They watched in horror as the black aura began to engulf and devour all the creatures within the vision. The once majestic dragons and phoenixes were now consumed by the darkness, and even the most ferocious beasts were no match for it.

One of the cultivators, who was particularly interested in recruiting the wielder of the divine body, couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Another promising cultivator lost to the darkness," he lamented. "It's a shame that such talent is often wasted due to the lure of power."

Another cultivator, who was known for his wisdom, spoke up. "It's a reminder that power alone is not enough," he said. "Without a strong moral compass, even the most powerful cultivator can succumb to darkness."

The others nodded in agreement, silently contemplating the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of power.

The strong cultivators who were disappointed by the turn of events only thought that it was another case of power pursuit gone wrong. Little did they know that the root of all this chaos was the Celestial Essence Crystal that Wang Chen was refining. They could not have fathomed that such a valuable object, hard to come by even in their lifetime, could be found in a wasteland.

….

Old man Ku watched as Wang Chen coughed up blood and the Celestial Essence Crystal turned dark before entering Wang Chen's body. He cackled with glee, saying, "Ha! This is what you get for meddling with things beyond your comprehension, boy!" His laughter echoed through the room as he watched Wang Chen fall to his knees, writhing in pain from the dark aura that emitted from him.

Wang Chen fell to his knees, and old man Ku saw this as his best chance to kill Wang Chen, so he hurriedly moved and was about to strike him. However, Wang Chen grabbed his hand, and the old man Ku felt his energy being sucked out of him. "What's happening?" he gasped.
