Villain: Starting with a Flawless Body, Born Invincible

160: Jun Siyu’s dark side, using the protagonist to fight the protagonist”The Divine Gate has always been there, but it cannot be seen or touched, unless with something special...”

”And that something special is Divine Authority.”

”Divine Gate, Divine Authority. Although there are no records linking the two, there’s no doubt that to open the Divine Gate, one must rely on Divine Authority.”

Jun Lingxiao thought his Slash was the key to opening the Divine Gate. After experimenting, he realized he was too naive; such a thing could not possibly be opened so simply.

He now wields [Shattering Delusions], which can penetrate the Origin of all things, and possesses [Slash], which can be activated from a certain distance. Undoubtedly, the combination of these two is invincible. Even the Divine Gate revealed its weaknesses to him.

Shattering Delusions discovered the Divine Gate and penetrated its weaknesses, and Slash would open the Divine Gate. This was good, but the problem was that Slash could not touch the Divine Gate.

The Divine Gate seemed to exist between the past and the future, without the concept of ’present.’ And after some experimentation, Jun Lingxiao was surprised to find that the Divine Gate didn’t even exist in this space-time.

”Heaven and Earth Divine Gate, Divine Authority bestowed by Heaven. I have discovered the Divine Gate and have the ability to open it, but I cannot touch it. Something is still missing in between.”

Inside the Cultivation Forbidden Ground, Jun Lingxiao looked at the colossal entity facing him and pondered, arms crossed.

”All signs indicate that Divine Authority is the key to opening the Divine Gate. But the question is, does it require all twelve Divinities to gather? Or, only the most crucial ones among them?”

”Is it enough for the people to gather, or must their Divine Authority be taken and concentrated into one?”

”These are all questions.”

”But fortunately, the Realm hasn’t bothered me too much.”

”Let’s go back.”

With that, Jun Lingxiao dispelled his Domain. The Jun Family Main Hall behind him slowly sank, and the colossal entity beside him grunted, turning into specks of starlight that gradually dissipated.

After the Divine Domain, there were no more Bottlenecks. Coupled with Divine Authority and the rewards from the System’s previous subjugation of Ling Tian, Jun Lingxiao’s current Realm had already reached the Heaven and Earth Realm. He had given his Dharma Body a unique title, transforming it into a true Heaven and Earth Dharma.

This was another one of his trump cards, but unfortunately, his Heaven and Earth Dharma could currently only manifest within his Domain. Only upon reaching the next Realm, the Heavenly Palace Realm, would he be able to nurture a small Heaven and Earth exclusively for the Heaven and Earth Dharma within his body.

This way, he would be able to summon the Heaven and Earth Dharma directly without needing a Domain.

Strictly speaking, Heaven and Earth Dharma is also a type of ’Dharma.’ Only with Heaven and Earth Dharma can one be considered to have entered the sight of powerful individuals. Of course, this was before; the appearance of Divine Authority has had a devastating impact on the existing Cultivation System.

With that thought, Jun Lingxiao waved his hand, directly opening the Forbidden Ground’s gate. He walked out, planning, ”Next, it’s time to prepare for the Supreme War.”

”An Luoxin hasn’t returned yet. I heard there’s some problem within the Imperial Dynasty. Such a grand occasion will definitely feature protagonists, so the people I bring this time...”

Thinking about it, he smiled, already having someone in mind.

—————————

Not long after Jun Lingxiao left his Cultivation room, Jun Siyu skipped over to find him.

During this period, she had made rapid progress. At fourteen years old, though not as formidable as Jun Lingxiao, she had also reached the Divine Dao Realm Cultivation, a world of difference from her Dao Embryo Realm when she first entered the Jun Family!

Moreover, under the guidance of her new teacher, she had learned even more things and would often seek out her brother to show them off.

This was the ninth day of Jun Lingxiao’s seclusion. She had come twice during this time, expecting it to be like usual, but today she was stopped by the guards at the entrance.

”His Highness, the Divine Son, finished his seclusion and left a long time ago.”

The guard, looking at the striking white hair before him, instinctively frowned but still spoke earnestly.

”Left a long time ago?” Jun Siyu was a bit stunned hearing this. Her brother’s seclusion was a big deal, but why hadn’t she received any news of him finishing?

Thinking this, she stretched her neck to look past the guard into Jun Lingxiao’s exclusive Cultivation room. Indeed, she saw the door wide open, and the inside was empty; there was no one there.

She pouted helplessly, then asked again when her brother had left, but received an unexpected answer.

”His Highness came out on the fourth day of his seclusion, but he instructed me not to spread it, only to answer truthfully if someone asked.”

This surprised Jun Siyu.

”Four days?”

The guard nodded in affirmation.

And so, Jun Siyu left in a daze. She knew it had taken her over ten days to Awaken her Divine Authority, and that was with her brother’s help and reminders.

At that time, listening to Jun Lingxiao’s words, it was as if something suddenly exploded in her mind, and only then did she Awaken.

Jun Lingxiao had publicly announced he would be in seclusion for ten days to comprehend Divine Authority, but she hadn’t expected him to come out in just four days. And she remembered that when her Divine Authority reached her brother’s hands, a pillar of light instantly rose.

”Teacher always praises me as a Genius, but in front of my brother, it’s not enough...”

Thinking this, she recalled a remark from Jun Zizhuo. At the time, she thought he was just boasting, but now she understood its deeper meaning.

”A peerless Genius, one in ten thousand, is merely the threshold to meet him.”

”What is brother doing now? Is he with another woman again?”

At this thought, she shook her head vehemently. Although she knew her brother probably needed a few days to rest, she still couldn’t stop her imagination from running wild.

Unconsciously, she grew to dislike those who approached her brother more and more.

”Brother is so good; you don’t deserve to be close to him. But... brother, why didn’t you tell me...?”

”I am... the person closest to you...”

As she spoke, her eyes gradually became hollow.

She didn’t notice that her words should be reversed.

Jun Siyu’s closest and most reliable person was only Jun Lingxiao, but for Jun Lingxiao, it was not so.

He was her only brother.

But to him, she was just a member of the Jun Family... On the other side, after a few days of discreetly inspecting the Jun Family, Jun Lingxiao sought out Ling Tian.

It must be said that as a protagonist, he did have some capabilities, managing his territory quite well. However, many players still chose to leave the Jun Family to live their own lives, while another portion was still accumulating strength to go outside.

But Jun Lingxiao didn’t approach him for this. After he told Ling Tian his idea, Ling Tian was startled.

”What? The Supreme War? That sounds like such a high-class thing, and you want me to go with you?”

Ling Tian fidgeted, even muttering softly that he was afraid of embarrassing Jun Lingxiao.

But Jun Lingxiao grabbed Ling Tian’s shoulder and looked at him seriously, coaxing:

”Ling Tian! You should know by now that this world has protagonists, Sons of Destiny, and I suspect there’s a protagonist in this Supreme War!”

Ling Tian’s eyes, after a moment of confusion from Jun Lingxiao’s persuasion, suddenly became firm.

”Protagonists? Are those the people who do nothing but yell ’Heaven’s will’ and get everything?”

”Damn it, shouldn’t I be envious and jealous... No, shouldn’t I just kill them?”

Seeing Ling Tian full of fighting spirit, Jun Lingxiao nodded in satisfaction. As the ultimate villain, how could he always personally deal with protagonists? But no matter how strong an ordinary person was, in front of a protagonist, they were just cannon fodder. So Jun Lingxiao came up with a plan.

Use a protagonist to deal with a protagonist.

Ling Tian was full of envy and anger towards protagonists, but because he was by Jun Lingxiao’s side, he himself had no awareness of being a protagonist.

After all, to Jun Lingxiao’s extent, someone with such powerful strength, an extraordinary background, and loved by everyone was the protagonist among protagonists. And Ling Tian himself?

Just a minion among minions.
