Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 1: The Protagonist Lin Feng, The Sect Outcast

Chapter 1: The Protagonist Lin Feng, The Sect Outcast

Amidst the vast expanse of the Thousand Star Mountain Range, the majestic Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak, adorned in shades of green and purple, pierced the clouds above.

Nestled within the mountain peak, ancient trees and jagged rocks coexisted, while dense spiritual energy permeated the air like an undissipating white mist. A towering mountain gate, dozens of feet high, was meticulously carved from giant black crystal stones, astonishing all who laid eyes upon it.

Beneath the gate, a despondent young man dressed in simple clothing, carrying a walking bag, turned his back on the long, steep staircase that descended the mountain. Scattered before him, young men and women donned uniform black and white robes.

In the distance, grand halls and towering structures dotted the landscape.

"What are you looking at?"

"Lin Feng, the sect's decree is clear; you're no longer welcome here!"

"Lin Feng, you had so much potential. How could you let your dantian shatter? Hahaha!"

"Address him as Senior Brother Lin!"

"With a shattered dantian, you're no longer our equal. You still want to stay in the sect? Delusional!"

"What? Still not leaving? Waiting for your friends to send you off?"

"Forget it. Only those of us with 'friendships' like these even bother to see you off!"

Each jeering remark was akin to a knife plunging into Lin Feng's heart.

'Curse it all!'

'Had my dantian not shattered, I could have reached the Mysterious Platform, even the Heavenly Origin realm!'

'But now, without my cultivation qualifications, even insignificant nobodies dare to insult me!'

'And not one of my so-called close friends has come to see me off.'

'...'

Lin Feng's teeth were gritted, his fists clenched tightly, knuckles turning white as his unassuming nails dug painfully into his flesh.

The Immortal Cultivation Path was divided into multiple realms: Physical Body, Elemental Movement, Soul Refining, Spiritual Awakening, Mysterious Platform and Heavenly Origin. Achieving the Heavenly Origin realm signified the pinnacle of combat prowess on this continent.

Lin Feng's future should have been filled with promise, but now...

Observing Lin Feng's clenched fists, the disciples who bore grudges against him reveled in his misery.

At that moment, a contemptuous "Humph!" broke the silence.

"Who says we're not coming to see Lin Feng off?"

Two figures leaped from a distance, landing gracefully on the ground.

"Senior Brother Li! Senior Brother Liu!"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up with joy as he recognized the newcomers, his fists unclenching.

"It's Li Kui and Liu Qing!"

The disciples who had taunted Lin Feng earlier furrowed their brows, glancing behind them.

Not far away, beneath a blossoming tree, a young man sat with his eyes closed.

'Why hasn't Senior Brother Jiang Chen come to crush Lin Feng?'

'Could it be that Senior Brother Jiang anticipated someone would come to Lin Feng's aid, and that's why he hasn't acted yet?'

They exchanged glances, doubt clouding their minds.

In the past, Lin Feng's exceptional talent and bright future had inadvertently offended Senior Brother Jiang Chen, a cultivator of a much higher level.

Simultaneously, Li Kai and Liu Qing noticed Jiang Chen's presence. Their hearts clenched and their expressions grew somber.

Unbeknownst to them, however, this Jiang Chen was no longer the person they once knew.

"Is this my panel?"

"Is this my system?"

"Villain Value! Black Heavenly Fate!?"

Jiang Chen sat on the stone bench, perplexed as he examined the information panel visible only to him.

The Immortal Great Villain System revealed that he had become a villainous character, one destined to suffer the protagonist's wrath and ultimately lose his life.

"A villain!?"

"Have I truly transmigrated into a villain fated for misery?"

"I don't know what kind of demise awaits me, but it must be wretched! No, no, no, this can't be! My fate must be in my own hands!"

"As a villain, the best way to survive is to find opportunities alongside the protagonist. But who is the protagonist?"

"Wait a moment, could it be that Lin Feng, the outcast being expelled from the mountain, is the protagonist?!"

Jiang Chen's eyes snapped open, and he glared fiercely at Lin Feng standing beneath the mountain gate, cursing inwardly, 'Damn it, how could he be the protagonist?!'

'It's happening! Senior Brother Jiang Chen is making a move!'

'Senior Brother Jiang's gaze is fierce. He definitely won't let Lin Feng off easily!'

'Hahaha, Lin Feng is in for it now!'

'...'

Several disciples who had been watching Jiang Chen noticed his glare, and their minds raced with speculation.

'Jiang Chen!'

'He tormented me without reason before.'

'Now that my dantian is shattered, he still won't leave me be. How petty and malicious!'

After casting a glance at Jiang Chen, a surge of resentment welled up in Lin Feng's heart. He lowered his head, turned, and walked to join Li Kai and Liu Qing.

In that instant, Jiang Chen closed his eyes once more.

'Sect outcast!'

'This situation feels all too familiar!'

'Once Lin Feng descends the mountain, he'll undoubtedly encounter some great opportunity to become stronger and return for his revenge!'

'He will surely investigate the truth behind his shattered dantian. He might spare others, but he will never forgive me!'

'What should I do?!'

A flurry of thoughts raced through Jiang Chen's mind, causing his brow to furrow.

"Look quickly, Senior Brother Jiang Chen is frowning!"

"Hmph, it seems Lin Feng is in for a world of pain!"

"When Senior Brother Jiang Chen takes action, Lin Feng will undoubtedly suffer! Hahahaha!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang Chen must be contemplating how to deal with Lin Feng right now!"

"..."

The disciples whispered among themselves and sneered at Lin Feng, oblivious to the fact that Jiang Chen was, in reality, feeling overwhelmed.

'First, I need to analyze my new surroundings and sort things out.'

Jiang Chen frowned as he started to sift through the vast amount of information in his head and organize his thoughts.

First and foremost, this story took place in an immensely vast Immortal Martial World.

The Starry Abyss Sect was situated in the Mysterious Truth Continent within the Immortal Martial World. It was a major power that dominated one side and controlled dozens of martial cities.

This body, also named Jiang Chen, was one of the core disciples of the Starry Abyss Sect. Additionally, he was the eldest young master of the Jiang Clan, one of the two major powers in the nearby large Autumn Glory City.

As for Lin Feng, he was an orphan with exceptional natural talent and striking good looks. After being brought into the sect, Lin Feng demonstrated an extraordinary cultivation speed. He was soon promoted to an inner disciple and began to make his mark on the true disciple status.

Thanks to his impressive qualifications, handsome appearance, and eloquence, Lin Feng garnered the support of many within the sect. Numerous female disciples fell for him, and even some of the older generation held him in high regard.

As a core disciple, the predecessor felt threatened by Lin Feng's potential rise to prominence and decided to take preventive measures. He devised a scheme in which Lin Feng would obtain a defective pill. Upon consuming it, Lin Feng's dantian shattered, ultimately severing his cultivation path.

And so, the plan worked to perfection.

Lin Feng's life took a nosedive, plummeting from the peak of popularity to being scorned by everyone around him.

Naturally, someone unable to cultivate had no place on the mountain.

And so, the day had comeright at this very moment, Lin Feng was to be expelled from the mountain and left to survive on his own.

'Originally, Lin Feng had only cultivated to the Soul Refining realm, which was one significant realm below me.'

'Now, with a shattered dantian and only the strength of his physical body, he wouldn't even be able to defeat someone in the Elemental Movement realm. He could only pick on those in the ordinary Physical Body realm.'

'Perhaps... I should nip this potential threat in the bud!'

With that thought in mind, a glint of ruthlessness flashed across Jiang Chen's eyes.
