Jiang Wang exhaled deeply. With a thought, thousands of demonic shadows emerged behind him. Wisps of purple-black aura floated into the air. The surrounding medicinal herbs were instantly tainted by the darkness. And the source of this dark aura… was none other than Jiang Wang himself.
He stood atop darkness, cloaked in chaos. Profound strands of chaotic Qi and demonic Qi twisted and merged around him, nurturing supreme laws.
With a sidelong glance, he noticed that the spiritual plants around him had all been tainted by his demonic Qi. He immediately withdrew the Chaos Divine Demon Body.
By now, the spiritual Qi in this entire blessed land had been completely drained, and most of the spiritual plants had been contaminated by his physique. The only thing of value remaining was the towering Profound Flame Dao Tree behind him.
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Wang looked at the treasure tree radiating supreme Dao aura, raised his hand, and uprooted it entirely.
“System, can this tree survive in the system space?” He had already made up his mind—if it couldn’t survive, even if the Profound Flame Dao Tree were to wither and die, he would never leave it for Ye Fan.
[Host, the system space is in a state of time suspension. Of course the tree can be preserved!]
Delighted by the response, Jiang Wang immediately stored the Profound Flame Dao Tree into the system space. He planned to transplant it into the small world within his Immortal Estate once he returned.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully preventing Ye Fan from using the Profound Flame Dao Fruit to repair his Dao injury! Successfully plundered Fortune Points from Ye Fan. Reward: Glimpse of the Future!]
“Hm? A glimpse of the future?”
This immediately sparked Jiang Wang’s curiosity.
[Host, would you like to activate the glimpse?]
“Activate it!”
Without hesitation, Jiang Wang accepted. After all, peering into the future was something only quasi-Emperors could do. Now that he had the chance, how could he not take a look at what lies ahead?
A screen of glowing water droplets suddenly unfolded before his eyes. Jiang Wang focused his attention.
What he saw stunned him completely.
In the center of the water screen, a black Imperial Coffin rested silently at the bottom of a dark abyss, surrounded by swirling black currents. Beside the coffin stood a cold and aloof woman, her back facing him, silently keeping watch.
Inside that Imperial Coffin—was him.
The scene hit him like a thunderbolt. He narrowed his eyes, about to focus for a closer look, when the woman standing by the coffin suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around.
That one glance from her carried such overwhelming divine might that Jiang Wang couldn’t bear to look any further. The water screen shattered instantly.
“What a familiar feeling…”
Enduring the racing of his heart, Jiang Wang felt an inexplicable familiarity in that woman’s eyes.
It took a while before his emotions finally settled.
Still, that glimpse of the future was deeply unsettling. Why was he lying inside that Imperial Coffin? Where had it come from? And who was that woman? This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
He had no way of knowing. After pondering briefly, he buried the vision deep in his heart.
No matter what, that was merely the future. What mattered now… was becoming stronger.
Looking around at the desolate remains of the once-rich blessed land, Jiang Wang left.
Soon, he returned to the waterfall. He didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he paused to sense his surroundings. Ye Fan was still about 15 kilometers away.
He decided to wait a bit longer to see how Ye Fan would try to repair his Dao foundation without the Profound Flame Dao Fruit. He had to know Ye Fan’s next move in advance if he wanted to keep plundering Fortune Points precisely.
After all, as the so-called Child of Destiny, Ye Fan certainly had more than one method. With that thought, Jiang Wang’s figure slowly faded into the shadows.
By the time the sun tilted westward, Ye Fan’s figure finally appeared at the end of the path.
Standing before the waterfall, he called out in his heart, “Senior Ming, is this the waterfall?”
The soul of Supreme Xuanming emerged from the Soul Binding Necklace around Ye Fan’s neck. After examining the area for a while, he frowned. “Too much time has passed. I can’t quite recognize it anymore. Hold on.”
He pushed aside the waterfall with a palm, revealing a stone gate behind it. The moment he laid eyes on it, Supreme Xuanming confirmed, “This is the one! The Profound Flame Dao Tree should be inside!”
Ye Fan’s heart surged with joy. Without hesitation, he stepped into the stone gate.
Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Wang sneered silently. As expected, moments later, Ye Fan walked out with a darkened expression.
The moment he emerged, Ye Fan said coldly, “Senior Ming, is this the so-called treasure land you spoke of with the Profound Flame Dao Tree?”
“There’s nothing here! Not even a single decent spirit herb!”
Hearing his mocking tone, Supreme Xuanming was furious. A mere junior dared question him like this?
If not for being bound to the Soul Binding Necklace and needing Ye Fan’s help, he would’ve flipped out already.
Suppressing his anger, he took a deep breath and explained, “The scene inside clearly shows someone just took everything! This person was greedy beyond measure—even dug out the Profound Flame Dao Tree! Judging by the traces, it’s likely a demonic cultivator.”
Ye Fan was furious. He had been so close to healing his Dao injury, only to find himself empty-handed.
“The soil’s freshly turned—it was clearly just dug out! If only you’d used your soul power to send me faster, this wouldn’t have happened!” he said coldly.
Supreme Xuanming sighed internally and fell silent.
Ye Fan’s face darkened. His heart was not only filled with resentment toward Supreme Xuanming, but also hatred toward the unknown demonic cultivator.
“Someone’s coming.”
The space in front of them rippled. Three middle-aged men walked out of the void.
Each of them was a Dao Entry Realm expert. Before his bone was extracted, Ye Fan had barely reached the Spirit Integration Realm—and now, with his Supreme Immortal Bone gone and his body severely injured, he was in no condition to fight.
Seeing the three cultivators, cold sweat poured down his back.
Their appearance also caught Jiang Wang’s attention in the shadows.
As soon as they arrived, Supreme Xuanming’s soul had already retreated into the necklace.
The trio spotted Ye Fan immediately.
The Dao Entry Realm cultivator in the lead glanced at Ye Fan with disdain in his eyes. He turned to the others and said, “Weren’t we told to cripple the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan? Why is there just some useless trash here?”
“Did the employer give us the wrong info?”
The other two exchanged glances and shook their heads. “That expert clearly told us the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan came this way. No idea why he’s not here.”
Jiang Wang’s expression shifted slightly in the shadows. These three… were coming for him?
To have someone send killers after him in the Immortal Domain, he immediately thought of one person—Li Jingtian.
“The Li Clan…”
Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the three Dao Entry Realm cultivators and sneered coldly. So Li Jingtian really underestimated him, thinking that sending just three Dao Entry cultivators would be enough?
He kept watching quietly, waiting to see what they’d do.
The leading man looked at Ye Fan and said indifferently, “You, the cripple—have you seen anyone come through here?”
Ye Fan, seeing their arrogance, felt a surge of hatred, but he had no choice but to act submissive in the face of overwhelming power.
“Senior experts, I haven’t seen anyone myself, but the Divine Son of the Jiang Clan you’re looking for should’ve just left not long ago.”
At that moment, he understood clearly—the Profound Flame Dao Fruit had been taken by Jiang Wang. And those traces of demonic Qi? Likely left by Jiang Wang’s guardian.
Judging by what the trio said, Jiang Wang’s guardian might have been held back.
This… was the perfect chance to kill Jiang Wang and take revenge for the bone extraction.
