This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 179: Chapter 95: Unable to Argue, What’s Left to Say? You’re Not in His League.

He never expected, however, that his unintentional act would cause the Mysterious Ancient Vine in his Mud Ball Palace to tremble, making even the Destiny Dao Fruit hum softly.

Afterward, the rich destiny contained within the stone wall was absorbed by the Mysterious Ancient Vine in a frenzy, as if it were being violently plundered.

Through Jiang Lan’s senses, he perceived a drastic change in the aura. What was once a hazy, blurry fog of destiny was now having its strands rapidly and continuously siphoned away.

The mysterious aura that filled the area around the stone wall was also rapidly disappearing.

It was because of this that an astonishing phenomenon appeared on the stone wall, followed by the manifestation of the Four Saints Illusion.

This was no sign of approval; it was a sign that he had enraged it.

Inside the Mud Ball Palace, the Mysterious Ancient Vine swayed ceaselessly.

A hazy Chaos Fog appeared, swirling around it and making it seem all the more mysterious and unfathomable.

The leaves also grew more crystalline and verdant, and as the destiny surged in, they appeared increasingly majestic and powerful.

Jiang Lan even heard a thunderous, ferocious roar echo within his Mud Ball Palace, as if something had been angered and offended.

However, the Mysterious Ancient Vine continued to frenziedly devour and absorb the destiny from the stone wall.

The next moment, Jiang Lan felt four inexplicable auras rush into his Sea of Consciousness along with the destiny.

The miniature figure of his Divine Sense, which had been seated in the Mud Ball Palace, suddenly opened its eyes within the Soul Palace and rose, its expression indifferent.

"Vile creatures, how dare you act so wantonly!"

The miniature figure of his Divine Sense cried out sharply.

As it raised its palm, a rumbling aura reminiscent of the world’s creation pressed down, attempting to capture the four inexplicable auras.

At the same time, a skeletal phantom filled with auras of both destruction and sanctity appeared behind the Soul Palace. Within the space of the Mud Ball Palace, it resembled a true, colossal Deity standing tall in the formless Chaos.

As Jiang Lan’s miniature Divine Sense figure raised its palm to seize them, the skeletal phantom behind the Soul Palace also extended a massive hand.

That massive skeletal hand, full of the auras of destruction and sanctity, descended and grabbed directly at the four inexplicable auras.

The four auras, however, seemed utterly enraged. They transformed into the divine forms of the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, True Dragon, and Black Tortoise, attempting to smash and tear apart the descending hand.

However, as they were merely vague, remnant auras, they couldn’t exert much of an effect.

The moment the massive skeletal hand struck, the illusions of the Four Saints abruptly dimmed.

The entire space within the Mud Ball Palace seemed to tremble violently, emitting a terrifying rumbling sound.

HUMMM!!!

As the Mysterious Ancient Vine trembled, it seemed to sense that its territory was being invaded and scattered a hazy substance that shone like divine radiance.

One of its crystalline leaves began to glow, its veins shining with astonishing intensity. A streak of emerald light shot out from it like a colossal net, sweeping forward and instantly enveloping one of the inexplicable auras.

Then, a second crystalline leaf began to glow, then a third, and a fourth...

The four leaves gushed forth a mysterious, hazy aura that enveloped the four incoming auras like a great net, dragging them back into the crystalline leaves.

The violently rumbling Mud Ball Palace finally quieted down.

The miniature figure of his Divine Sense transformed into a wisp of faint light, returned to the Soul Palace, and fell silent once more.

Jiang Lan focused his consciousness on the Mysterious Ancient Vine. He could clearly sense emotions like rage, indignation, and terror emanating from the four crystalline leaves, but they soon vanished.

He saw that the four crystalline leaves had transformed into four different shapes.

One resembled a True Dragon, radiating immense, surging power.

One was shaped like a Vermilion Bird, suffused with a pure and dense Divine Soul aura. Of the remaining two, one was shaped like a White Tiger, wreathed in a murderous Evil Qi that could terrorize all creation, while the last resembled a Black Tortoise, filled with a profound and boundless Life Force...

These four inexplicable auras seemed to have transformed into Dao Memory Fragments that flooded into his mind.

They were incredibly complex, eventually resolving into numerous Dao Runes.

Those Dao Runes formed a torrent of memories that were simply and directly imprinted upon his Sea of Consciousness.

Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill.

This was the name of the Inheritance Technique, a skill capable of manifesting the divine forms of the Four Saints.

Each divine form possessed power comparable to a true Holy Beast of an equivalent level. With the enhancement from all Four Spirits, one’s combat power could even increase exponentially.

In a trance, Jiang Lan saw four ancient and valiant Holy Beasts appear, surrounding him like guards.

True Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

These Four Spirits charged forth from the cosmos, exuding an aura that shook the heavens and the earth, as if the world itself could barely contain them.

It was a breathtaking sight.

One must understand that being surrounded by the Four Spirits was a sign of a Celestial Emperor. Throughout history, the appearance of the Four Spirits’ divine forms had always signified four future invincible beings, destined to look down upon all other life.

For him, however, this was not just a symbolic phenomenon, but also a direct enhancement. His Divine Soul, strength, offense, and defense all seemed to undergo a qualitative transformation.

’The Destiny Dao Fruit combined with the Blood Immortal Sect’s inheritance already gives me a nearly inexhaustible source of Magical Power and terrifying regenerative abilities and Life Force. It’s basically like having a Blue Bar that never empties and a health bar with no end in sight...’

’With the enhancement from the Four Spirits Sacred Image, all my stats have been greatly boosted. Even my weak point, physical defense, has been shored up.’

’Once my cultivation reaches the Dharma Realm and I obtain my own Dharma Realm, won’t I even have Immunity Control Dominance?’

Back when he was on the Blood Red Plateau, Jiang Lan had only been idly thinking about it. He never expected to actually walk further and further down the path of assembling the perfect final boss build.
