Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate-Chapter 328: Opening the Portal

Next, Jiang Chen took out a large dao treasure-level cauldron from his Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring.

The cauldron was silver-white and had a unique design, with two handles and four sturdy legs. Its surface was decorated with detailed carvings of mountains, rivers, fire, thunder, and lightning.

He had found this artifact-refining cauldron at the inheritance peak in the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven. Since it wasn’t a weapon, he had chosen to leave it untouched until now.

Burning World Raging Flames! Jiang Chen raised his hand, and the cauldron floated up into the air. It was quickly surrounded by intense flames.

The Burning World Raging Flames carried the strong power of the Fire Dao. These flames weren’t just powerful but also wild, making them perfect for refining.

As the flames surrounded the cauldron, Jiang Chen started taking out different materials. He carefully melted them down, making sure all impurities were removed.

But Jiang Chen wasn’t very skilled at this level of artifact refinement.

To smelt the materials properly, he needed help from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

With a single thought, Jiang Chen connected his soul to theirs, stored inside his Void Tribulation Soulring. This gave him a deeper understanding of artifact refinement.

He then began the careful process of refining the materials he needed.

Time passed by.

Soon, all the necessary materials were refined at least once.

Jiang Chen picked up the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword from his lap and placed it into the cauldron, carefully using artifact refinement techniques.

He skillfully guided different strands of spiritual energy into the cauldron, causing changes to both the cauldron and the sword.

The sword, in particular, started to soften and showed signs of melting.

At this critical moment, Jiang Chen chose one of the refined materials, flicked it with his finger, and turned it into a mist that was pulled into the cauldron.

Inside, the mist acted like iron filings drawn to a magnet, instantly merging with the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword.

Jiang Chen then began the careful process of repairing the sword using the rest of the materials.

Some melted directly into the sword, while others were mixed together first before being added.

Bang!

When all the materials were used, the cauldron sealed itself with a loud noise, trapping the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword inside.

Whoosh!

The Burning World Raging Flames flared up, making the cauldron glow like a small sun.

The intense heat spread everywhere, turning the ground beneath Jiang Chen into molten lava.

Before he knew it, three days had gone by.

...

On the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, the group of cultivators set to be exiled to the Immortal Martial Continent had finally reached two thousand members.

Their strength was boosted by one Transcendence realm powerhouse, five Dao Palace realm cultivators, and several dozen at the Dao Comprehension realm.

For the past three days, Mo Hao had stayed quiet, keeping to himself in a corner of the underground chamber.

The others didn’t bother hiding their disdain for him. Even the guards occasionally shot him mocking looks.

Fine, mock me all you want, Mo Hao thought with a sneer. Just wait until we reach the Immortal Martial Continent, and then I’ll show you. With this, he decided to stay under the radar for now.

Just then, the muscular man in black armor appeared again, his voice booming, "Listen up!"

"The number of people is enough now, and we’ll soon open the spatial channel to the Immortal Martial Continent!"

"Follow me!" he commanded, turning and walking toward the back.

What had looked like a solid stone wall suddenly rippled like water and disappeared.

Behind it was a massive array altar, blending both ancient and modern designs.

This array altar altar was built specifically to maintain the spatial channel. It had been created a million years ago but hadn’t been used since then.

Recently, under orders from higher-ups in the Profound Jade Immortal Domain, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was forced to repair it.

Now, the massive altar was surrounded by rings of cultivators, all of them skilled formation masters.

The formation masters quietly chatted among themselves.

"I never thought this altar would ever be used again," one said.

"Me neither," another replied. "My wife’s great-great-grandmaster once told her the last time it was used was a million years ago. Back then, they activated it to wipe out the remnants of the demon race on the Immortal Martial Continent. The expedition returned the same day, and the altar was sealed right after."

"Really? Wiping out the demon race in just one day? That sounds a bit far-fetched."

"Probably just exaggerated rumors. What worries me more is how many cultivation resources will be drained this time to open the spatial channel."

While the formation masters kept talking, the muscular man in black armor led Mo Hao and the two thousand others to stand behind the group of formation masters.

"Thank you for your hard work," the muscular man said with a bow.

"You’re welcome," replied an elderly man with a white beard, nodding in return.

With that, the elderly man signaled for all the formation masters to activate the array altar.

Right away, the formation masters began channeling their Origin Power, their robes fluttering and hair flying as they directed their energy into the array altar using precise techniques.

At the same time, other cultivators worked nonstop, feeding top-grade spirit stones into the array altar. The stones were consumed at an astonishing rate, tens of thousands disappearing in moments.

With the endless supply of spirit stones and the combined efforts of the formation masters, the array altar smoothly began its activation.

"Now!" the white-bearded elder called out, nodding to the muscular man before striking the space above the array altar with a powerful punch.

The muscular man followed immediately, unleashing the overwhelming strength of the Nirvana Cleansing realm, his attack carrying a hint of spatial power.

Along with the elderly man and the muscular man, several other experts joined in.

They all aimed at the same spot, and the impact caused the space to break.

Crack!

A small black dot appeared in the air, making a sharp, chilling sound.

As soon as the black dot formed, the surrounding spatial forces moved to close it.

But before they could, the power of the formation gathered into a beam of bright white light, covering the area completely.

The spatial forces trying to fix the crack stopped, and the black dot was forcefully torn open.

Cracks spread out from the black dot, forming a web-like pattern that quickly grew larger.

The black dot kept expanding, and its size increased faster and faster.

To most cultivators watching, the growth of the black dot seemed to happen in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the black dot had transformed into a massive black vortex, swirling with roaring, turbulent waves.

"Keep it stable!" the white-bearded elder shouted, using all his strength to keep the formation running.

The other formation masters did the same, each giving everything they had.

With their combined efforts, the black vortex finally calmed down, changing from a wild, chaotic swirl to a smooth, steady surface.

But the work wasn’t done yet.

"Now, open the spatial door to the Immortal Martial Continent and stabilize it!" the elder commanded, looking around before giving the next order. "Bring the Void Suppressing Heavy Water!"

A Transcendence realm cultivator stepped forward, pulling out several bottles one by one and throwing them into the vortex.

The moment the bottles entered, the black vortex became restless again, its surface churning wildly.
