Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

“Is this still the Great Master realm? Has there ever been a time when the trial space directly exploded?”

“Never heard of it! What kind of strength is this, I feel like I, as a Great Master realm, could be easily slain?”

“What’s the point of being a Great Master realm, I feel like an ant even as an almost-Saint!”

“Honestly, this hundredth layer is really tough, even the Primordial Holy Son had to unleash such power!”

“Why don’t you mention how terrifying the Primordial Holy Son is? The strength of that phantom is unimaginable, it feels like even the prodigious almost-Saints might not be able to handle it, yet the Primordial Holy Son, a Great Master realm, stood firm and is now suppressing the opponent!”

“Indeed outrageous!”

“Right, who was it that said the Primordial Holy Son isn’t the number one prodigy, come out!”

Everyone is stunned. This is the first time they have heard of the trial space collapsing, let alone being torn apart by the aftermath of two people’s fight.

An unprecedented event is unfolding before their eyes. Not just ordinary cultivators, but even the saints from various forces are dumbfounded.

“What exactly is the limit of the Primordial Holy Son? Can such a strong being not defeat him?” The saint of the Supreme Dao Sect was completely baffled.

“I don’t know, you’d have to ask the people from the Primordial Holy Land!” The saint of the Lu family looked towards the elder with a serious tone.

Suddenly, all eyes landed on the elder, with a mix of envy and jealousy.

“Don’t look at me! I’ve just come out of seclusion, after a thousand years! If you’re going to ask, ask Fairy Xue!” The elder hurriedly deflected. What a joke, he had barely interacted with Jiang Chen.

How would he know these things? However, Jiang Chen’s strength has indeed pleasantly surprised him and given him hope.

“Maybe this generation of the Primordial Holy Land can produce an emperor!” The elder thought to himself.

Now, if he said Jiang Chen could become an emperor, probably no one would refute it. The strength and talent are there for all to see. As long as Jiang Chen doesn’t die young, steadily progressing, step by step, once he reaches the quasi-emperor realm, no one would be his match.

They simply can’t find anyone who could contend with Jiang Chen. Suddenly, a sword light streaked across, stopping mid-air. In an instant, everyone shifted their gaze, no longer inquiring about this matter, because Mu Jianxue’s stance was clear.

She basically said if you want to know, then question my sword. Jokingly confronting Mu Jianxue? That’s like a death wish.

“You really hid it well, your saintess silently moved ahead of Huang Qingtian!” A Pure Yang Saint looked at the Supreme Dao Sect’s cultivators, speaking disdainfully.

“Just luck, just luck!” The saint of the Supreme Tao Sect stroked his white beard, feigning modesty.

“But someone is not going to feel good! Now, that someone can’t catch up with the Primordial Holy Son and have even been overtaken by someone else!” The Pure Yang Saint said sarcastically.

Everyone knew who he was talking about, and their gazes turned toward the saint of the Immortal Phoenix Clan.

The complexion of the saint from the Immortal Phoenix Clan darkened, grinding his teeth in hatred. He almost wanted to tear the Pure Yang Saint to pieces. Because his mouth was too cheap, making it unbearable for him.

…

On the other side.

Boom.

Terrifying power burst forth, and the True Immortal phantom completely exploded. It couldn’t withstand that attack.

As the True Immortal phantom shattered, it also signified that Jiang Chen had cleared the entire trial space. Moments later. The True Immortal phantom recondensed and said complexly:

“Congratulations on clearing the trial! Your strength is very powerful, even the me of the past might not be your opponent!”

“It’s hard to believe that in such a defective lower realm, there exists a freak like you!” He was just a phantom, not the real True Immortal from the past.

However, he retained some thoughts and memories, making him almost indistinguishable from that True Immortal.

“You’re not really him, so there’s nothing for you to be happy about!” Jiang Chen was unfazed inside; he knew the phantom in front of him wasn’t real.

If it were a True Immortal in the Great Master realm, his strength would probably be even more formidable. His previous attacks wouldn’t have easily annihilated this True Immortal phantom.

“You don’t need to be modest! Your talent and strength would also be supreme in the upper realms! Alright, you’ve passed the trial tower. Go up and receive your reward!” Leaving these words behind, the phantom exploded like a bubble.

Following that. A pathway appeared above the sky, and Jiang Chen directly charged through it. On the other side. The trial space below reverted to its original state, but soon cries of anguish arose.

“Damn it, I barely got through the phantom, and now this?”

“I just defeated the phantom, and now I have to do it again?”

“What’s going on, this isn’t fair!”

“Indeed, it’s not fair!”

“I think it’s fine, the phantom just appeared and died, now I can have a go at it!”

Many prodigies were dumbfounded. Especially the Pure Yang Son; he had barely killed the phantom, hadn’t even caught his breath, and now this again? Wasn’t he going to have to do it all over again? The Pure Yang Son was speechless.

On the other side. Jiang Chen stepped into a fantastical space, as if it were the dawn of creation, surrounded by chaos, with the Qi of chaos slowly descending.

“You have three choices! Emperor scriptures, Emperor weapons, or some special immortal material! As long as it exists here, I can give it to you!” A detached voice came through, belonging to the spirit of the Supreme Palace.

“I want a damaged black token; I believe you should have it here!” Jiang Chen was prepared and directly made his request.

This item was crucial, having a huge impact later on. In the original story, Du Guyun didn’t choose this item but an Emperor weapon instead. It wasn’t until later that he found out about the existence of this item in the Supreme Palace, but by then, it was too late to obtain it.

Resulting in huge losses for Du Guyun. For this reason, Jiang Chen specifically chose this token because its value exceeds even that of Emperor weapons. It’s related to the true immortals!
