I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Ye Tian opened the blood lock, I don’t agree with this endingAh Kun pursued Ye Tian with a mighty Aura.

Ye Tian fled very cautiously, not daring to fly high, almost always flying close to the ground.

But Ah Kun spread his Kunpeng wings, bathed in seven-colored radiant light, and loudly shouted, “Return my Treasure Trove!” as if afraid others wouldn’t know he was chasing someone.

Ye Tian’s heart was in his throat; a Golden Immortal Realm Kunpeng relentlessly pursuing him—wasn’t this a matter of life and death?

And it wasn’t over yet.

Many people recognized Ye Tian, knowing he was the one who had taken all the Treasure Trove from the underwater Treasure Trove.

“It’s Ye Tian!”

“He has a massive amount of Treasure Trove on him.”

“What the hell is going on? That Kunpeng bird is chasing him, saying ‘Return my Treasure Trove’.”

Everyone had an idea.

This was a great Opportunity!

The Treasure Trove on Ye Tian was simply immense.

Immediately, many people followed behind Ah Kun, also biting tightly onto Ye Tian, unwilling to let go.

Ah Kun chased vigorously, while also paying attention to the number of people behind him.

“There are over ten thousand people, that’s enough.”

Ah Kun felt that ten thousand people chasing Ye Tian was secure enough for him to retreat successfully.

He didn’t even bother to find an excuse, simply leaving directly.

Ye Tian was a bit confused to see Ah Kun leave, but he only felt that he was now in even greater danger.

Ah Kun had chased him for half a day without attacking, but the Cultivators who came in with him all believed he had taken the Treasure Trove from the Dragon Palace Treasure Trove.

He was a walking Treasure Trove!

As expected, more and more Cultivators began to besiege and kill Ye Tian, unleashing all their killing moves.

Ye Tian frantically dodged and escaped the pursuit.

He constantly changed direction, feeling incredibly depressed in his heart.

“Why is this Secret Realm journey so unlucky?”

“Being a scapegoat is one thing, but to be chased by ten thousand people?”

“Could it be that Heaven wants me to perish?”

Ye Tian’s Dao Heart began to waver, and at this moment, his Qi began to gradually become unstable; although there wasn’t a huge change, it was noticeably felt.

Furthermore, his Divine Sense was somewhat scattered, and his perception of the outside world had decreased.

Ye Tian stopped, paused, closed his eyes, shook his head, and roused himself.

This pause immediately gave the other Cultivators an Opportunity; in the blink of an eye, the team of over ten thousand people surrounded Ye Tian.

Three layers deep inside, three layers deep outside, impenetrable, it could be said that it was impossible to escape.

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Ye Tian vigilantly said, “Everyone, what is the meaning of this? Why are you surrounding me?”

“Heh heh, if you want to hog everything, then don’t blame us for cornering you,” some Cultivators jeered, their eyes full of greed as they looked at Ye Tian.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, you’ve gained quite a lot.”

“Not long ago, I heard you were ‘stocking up’ at the underwater Dragon Palace Treasure Trove, taking an entire Treasure Trove by yourself. Just now, we also discovered that a Jade Lake was completely empty.”

“That Kunpeng surrounded you, so it must be because you disturbed his Opportunity, and a huge Opportunity at that.”

“We have searched for a long time and haven’t found any substantial Treasure Trove. We just want to ask Fellow Daoist Ye for a couple of small items to use,” one of them said.

On the surface, it was outright robbery, but the words still had to be pleasant to hear.

Ye Tian did not answer, merely looked at them with cold eyes.

The crowd also did not make the first move, fearing to be the first bird shot, and instead observed each other.

Just then, a team from the Holy Institute descended from the sky, landing beside Ye Tian.

Without a word, they were about to take Ye Tian away.

The people surrounding Ye Tian immediately became anxious, shouting at the newcomers, “Ouyang Ke, what do you mean?!”

That’s right, this group was precisely the Holy Institute Disciples led by Ouyang Ke, numbering over three hundred, each of them an elite Disciple of the Holy Institute.

Ye Tian was a little strange; he considered himself unfamiliar with Ouyang Ke, so why would he come to his aid?

Unable to clearly understand the situation, Ye Tian did not relax his vigilance, still maintaining a distance from them at all times.

“What do you mean? Do you want to kill my Holy Institute Disciple?” Ouyang Ke retorted.

He stood out alone, his Aura like a rainbow, reprimanding the crowd.

Even facing the pressure of over ten thousand people, he showed no fear.

Many forces were involved in besieging Ye Tian; united, they did not fear the Holy Institute. Moreover, in their perception, the things on Ye Tian were simply too numerous, worth the risk.

Even if it meant offending the Holy Institute!

“Don’t make it sound so good, Ouyang Ke, I know your past.”

“Others say you’re a Genius, but I’m not afraid; who isn’t a young Prodigy?”

The speaker was a young Prodigy, a Profound Immortal Middle Stage Cultivator, with strong power, capable of defeating enemies across realms without effort.

Which Genius doesn’t have some arrogance? He believed his strength was not inferior to Ouyang Ke’s, and even if he couldn’t win, he was only slightly less capable than Ouyang Ke.

“Holy crap, who’s so bold as to dare challenge Ouyang Ke?”

“I know that person, that’s the Third Prince of the Tang Immortal Dynasty, known as Tang San!”

“I heard his Sea God Legacy allows him to wield a Sea God Trident, which is extremely overbearing. With just a slight move, he suppressed many Immortals. I heard that a certain Immortal Master Fang, who pursued eternal life by cultivating Gu, died by his hand.”

“Let’s hold our ground and see how the situation develops.”

Ouyang Ke’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the speaker, simultaneously observing the expressions of those around him. If he showed weakness, these people would immediately swarm him.

A man of few words, but decisive.

Ouyang Ke knew that he had to demonstrate powerful suppressive force to make these people retreat.

He quickly formed hand seals, his hands changing rapidly.

In his palm, a Great Sun Blazing Star Fire Seed actually condensed. Initially, the Fire Seed was tiny, almost imperceptible.

It gradually grew to the size of a sesame seed, and then instantly expanded, forming a hundred-mile-long giant flame Dragon.

He simply pushed gently, and the Fire Dragon instantly surged towards the speaker with an Aura of devouring mountains and rivers.

“Dragon Flame Sun Breath!”

Tang San’s eyes showed disdain. Fire-element Immortal art?

Don’t you know that my Sea God Legacy is most effective against your fire-element Immortal arts?

Tang Xiao San chuckled, “A seeker of empty fame! Today, I shall shatter your unbeaten…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Fire Dragon opened its mouth wide and charged directly at his face. With almost no reaction time, the Fire Dragon’s mouth gaped open, unleashing a Fire Dragon Breath, as if from the blazing sun.

The killing move came too fast. Tang Xiao San hadn’t even activated his magical defense when the massive flame breath enveloped and roasted his entire being.

The searing pain contorted his face. He didn’t even have a chance to dodge.

“Ah! Hot, Ouyang Ke, are you trying to burn me to death?”

“Scalding, I’m burning to death.”

Tang Xiao San was utterly defenseless, defeated in just one move.

Even his close-fitting life-protecting armor was scorched black like charcoal, and his entire body was charred outside and tender inside, barely clinging to life.

“With the Gui Water Giant Cold Armor on, no wonder you can still cling to life. Consider yourself lucky,” Ouyang Ke said disdainfully, looking at Tang Xiao San’s armor, which was originally dark blue but now burned black.

“You…”

Pfft!

Hearing this insult, Tang Xiao San was even more enraged, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

“Get lost. Don’t pretend to be a master if you don’t have the strength,” Ouyang Ke sneered.

Tang Xiao San’s companions quickly helped him retreat, fearing that Ouyang Ke would kill in anger. They retreated eighty thousand miles before daring to stop and treat his injuries.

Silence!

Everyone was stunned speechless.

They had only heard that Ouyang Ke was powerful, but rarely saw him act.

Today’s seemingly ordinary move made them realize just how strong he truly was.

People seemed to recall the legend of the invincible peer six thousand years ago.

“What, is there anyone else who wants to stop me?” Ouyang Ke said indifferently.

His presence commanded respect without anger.

No one present dared to speak, fearing they might provoke him and suffer the same fate as Tang San.

Cultivation was like this; strength was king.

Ouyang Ke’s single move intimidated the entire scene. Of course, Tang San played an indispensable role; if he hadn’t been defeated and served as a backdrop, it would have been difficult to make a move.

The Holy Institute members escorted Ye Tian away, with Ouyang Ke staying behind to cover their retreat, facing ten thousand people alone, yet none of them dared to pursue.

One man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it; such was the case.

Only after Ye Tian and his group had disappeared did Ouyang Ke leave.

“Damn it, why did he help?”

“It’s too strange. When we first came in, I even saw Ouyang Ke and Ye Tian at loggerheads, almost coming to blows.”

“Zhang San, what do you think?”

“I think with my eyes.”

“I mean, what’s your opinion?”

“I have no opinion.”

“Can you have some initiative?”

“I have no initiative.”

………………

Ye Tian was escorted away; to be precise, he wasn’t escorted, but rather escorted under guard.

Because these three hundred-plus people didn’t give him any room to escape. They formed a cage-like formation, trapping Ye Tian in the center.

However, they didn’t make a move, instead waiting for Ouyang Ke to return and deal with Ye Tian.

Ye Tian’s heart was as clear as a mirror; he knew these people were definitely not helping him for free, most likely because they coveted the wealth on him.

He genuinely had no gains, but others believed he was truly laden with them.

He couldn’t explain it clearly; it would only make things worse.

“Thank you, fellow Disciples, for your timely rescue. Words cannot express my gratitude; I will remember this kindness today,” Ye Tian said with cupped fists, very friendly.

“I have some urgent matters, so I’ll be leaving first.”

He tried to slip away, but clearly had no Opportunity.

“Senior Brother Ouyang has something to say to you. Wait a moment before you leave,” a young man stood out and blocked his way, saying.

“I really do have something urgent,” Ye Tian said.

No one responded. They stood solemnly, looking coldly at Ye Tian. If Ye Tian made any rash move, they would attack en masse.

“What do you mean by this?” Ye Tian said coldly.

“Nothing, just some words we need to discuss with Junior Brother Ye.”

A heavenly sound, deep and melodious, came from afar.

Upon hearing these words, those people made an opening and bowed, saying, “Senior Brother Ouyang.”

Ouyang Ke waved his hand, signaling them to dispense with the formalities. He looked at Ye Tian with burning eyes and said directly, “Junior Brother Ye, you gained a great deal from the underwater Treasure Trove and made many enemies. All those people just now were your enemies.”

“I can offer you protection, but in return, you hand over half of your gains from the underwater Treasure Trove, how about it?”

As long as they hadn’t left the Secret Realm, it wasn’t surprising for even fellow Disciples to fight over spoils.

Ouyang Ke was powerful now, yet he still didn’t resort to outright robbery; he still had some reservations in his heart.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have just taken it by force.

Ye Tian secretly thought, “As expected.” He wasn’t familiar with Ouyang Ke, so saving him would definitely come at a price.

But he really hadn’t obtained the Treasure Trove.

“If I really did get it, given my current predicament, giving you half wouldn’t be a problem.”

“But I really didn’t get it.”

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Ke’s heart turned cold.

At this moment, one of his followers spoke.

“Senior Brother Ouyang, don’t be soft-hearted.”

“The Dragon Palace Treasure Trove is incredibly rich. Giving up half wouldn’t kill him, so of course he’d say he didn’t get it.”

“Moreover, great men don’t bother with trifles. There’s no need to share the Treasure Trove with him; you can take it all!”

Ouyang Ke took a deep breath, calming himself.

Yes, he was his competitor for the Saint Disciple position, his enemy. To talk about equal shares with an enemy was too naive.

I want it all!

Immediately, Ouyang Ke ordered to seize Ye Tian.

How could Ye Tian tolerate such indignity? Let alone if he didn’t have it, even if he did, he wouldn’t give it.

The two sides broke into a brawl, and Ye Tian, despite being injured and weakening, managed to keep Ouyang Ke and his followers from capturing him for a long time.

The Child of Destiny, terrifying as such!

The two sides erupted in a shocking battle that lasted for over a month.

Ye Tian clearly showed signs of exhaustion early on, but he just managed to hold on without falling, as if he had activated a blood-lock cheat.

Gradually, Ouyang Ke’s followers successively ran out of strength and collapsed, and Ouyang Ke himself was panting heavily.

The Immortal art that could easily defeat Tang San, when struck with full force on Ye Tian, felt like a spring breeze to Ouyang Ke, with less than a tenth of its original damage.

It was too bizarre. Could he have an indestructible body?

The two sides fought for over a day, and Ouyang Ke finally ran out of strength. With a lapse in concentration, Ye Tian used a broken blade to ambush him from behind, cutting his body in half at the waist.

Split into two!

Ye Tian won, as expected of a Child of Destiny.

Ouyang Ke lost. The fate of a stepping stone is to highlight the Child of Destiny; from the very beginning, he had no chance of winning.

And Ye Tian, severely wounded, escaped, once again turning danger into safety.

After everything calmed down, Xiao Fan slowly appeared, looking at Ouyang Ke, who was split in two, and shook his head slightly.

Miao Xiaoqing, seeing this, her mouth slightly agape, was also extremely surprised.

Ouyang Ke had lost. Her greatest competitor had lost to a newcomer.

Xiao Fan was expressionless, only feeling that the Child of Destiny’s damage immunity was too high; thousands of fatal moves landing on Ye Tian were like a light rain, causing no harm.

“A dying man, I’ll send you on your way, to spare you suffering,” Xiao Fan said, looking at the dying Ouyang Ke.

He raised his hand, activating the Life and Death Nirvana Divine Thunder. Intense Death Qi spread, thunder and lightning flashed between his fingers, about to erupt.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Ke, who was supposed to die and whose consciousness had gone completely dark, had a line of clear tears slide from the corner of his eye. His eyes held guilt, confusion, and pain, but no fear of death.

He even sobbed, “I’m sorry… I’ve disappointed you all. I have no face to see my clansmen.”

A man’s tears do not fall easily. He had developed a will to die, wanting to end his own life.

Xiao Fan, however, stopped his killing move and interrupted his spellcasting. Looking at the purple script above Ouyang Ke’s head, he clicked to view it.

After reading it, he only felt a bit of pity.

“Heaven made you suffer and shaped you into an invincible Golden Immortal, bearing the hopes of your clan, only to end up being a stepping stone for someone else. No wonder your Dao Heart collapsed and you developed a will to die.”

Ouyang Ke’s early life experiences were full of vigor.

But he was not the Child of Destiny; he was merely the Child of Destiny’s stepping stone. The more brilliant his achievements, the more they highlighted the Child of Destiny’s extraordinary nature.

“Struggling half a lifetime just to highlight the Child of Destiny, I do not accept such an outcome!”

Xiao Fan made up his mind: “Heaven wants you to perish, but I insist on letting you live!”

Good afternoon.
