I Really Am A Villain

Amid a series of explosive sounds, the old man’s ghost rolled and struggled in the flames.

Before long, it was annihilated in the void.

This Ghost Sovereign Nether-Prime had already reached the Saint realm.

But before Xu Zimo, he was still casually extinguished.

This was enough to imagine the power of the Infinite Dao realm.

………

After quite a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Xu Zimo and stammered: “You… you killed a Ghost Sovereign?”

“What about it?” Xu Zimo asked.

The old man swallowed hard.

His head shook like a rattle drum.

“Senior is peerlessly invincible. I dare not speak carelessly.”

“Who is the strongest in this Five Ghost Forest?” Xu Zimo asked again.

“Actually, I’m not certain either. Some say it’s the several great Ghost Sovereigns. Others say that Ghost Gods exist here,” the old man replied.

“It’s just that ordinary people, never mind Ghost Gods, they probably can’t even see the Ghost Sovereigns. Existences at the level of the Five Fierce Ones can already kill many people.”

“What are the consequences of me killing a Ghost Sovereign?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Nothing more than two possibilities. Either the Five Ghost Forest fears senior’s might and doesn’t dare provoke us. Or the numerous ghosts and monsters of Five Ghost Forest unite together and will kill us,” the old man speculated.

“Which do you think is more reliable?”

“The second one, I suppose,” the old man replied tentatively.

“In this realm, the Five Ghost Forest has always done as it pleases. Even behemoths like the Luo Clan have to take detours when they encounter them. This is the first time in years they’ve suffered such a huge loss. I’m afraid they won’t let this go.”

“I actually hope they all come together. I can conveniently exterminate them all at once,” Xu Zimo smiled.

“Otherwise, walking along the road with them like flies, it’s annoying.”

The old man gave an awkward smile, not daring to respond.

This wasn’t something he could participate in.

“Tell me about the situation in the Great Beyond,” Xu Zimo asked.

Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he might as well learn about matters concerning the Great Beyond.

“What does senior wish to know?” the old man asked.

“Actually, the Great Beyond is far too vast. I don’t even know where to begin.”

“Talk about what you know,” Xu Zimo said.

“The Great Beyond has Three Sects, One Gate, and One Palace. These five powers are the strongest existences in the Great Beyond. They rule over the entire Great Beyond.”

“The Three Sects refer to the Heart Sword Ancient Sect, the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect, and the Azure Cloud Ancient Sect. The One Gate refers to the Primordial Demon Gate. And the One Palace is the Jade Maiden Palace. These five powers are the undisputed overlords of the Great Beyond. They have ruled the Great Beyond for billions of years. Beneath the five great powers, there are millions of relatively weaker powers. Our Luo Clan is one of them. The Luo Clan is located in the west of the Great Beyond inland and was founded by the Grand Martial Sovereign Luo Ningwang.”

Seeing that the old man was about to start discussing the Luo Clan’s history,

Xu Zimo hurriedly interrupted him.

He asked, “Do you know if there are any special places in this Great Beyond?”

“What kind of special places?”

“Places where flowers, grass, and trees flourish,” Xu Zimo replied.

“For plants, the Great Beyond is hell.

Apart from a few rare plants, the plants here don’t survive long.”

Xu Zimo couldn’t directly ask about the Desolate Tree.

So he said instead, “Then do you know where in this Great Beyond has the best scenery?”

The old man lowered his head in thought.

“The Great Beyond has scenery for a thousand days, but the Edge of Heaven stands on it’s own league.”

Just then, from within the carriage, Luo Mingyue’s voice came.

“For scenic places in the Great Beyond, it’s probably the Edge of Heaven.”

“What kind of place is that?” Xu Zimo asked.

“No one knows, and very few people have been there,” Luo Mingyue said.

“I’ve only read about it in books. Legend has it that place is a paradise. It’s the core territory of the Jade Maiden Palace.”

“Jade Maiden Palace,” Xu Zimo nodded slightly, silently remembering this place in his heart.

No matter what, he had to go take a look.

If there were any gains, it would be better than being a headless fly.

………

This night was very quiet.

The death of the Ghost Sovereign Nether-Prime caused a huge uproar in the Five Ghost Forest.

The death of a Ghost Sovereign, one could imagine.

In the Five Ghost Forest, in a cave filled with ghost mist, vaguely, several figures wandered in the darkness.

“That fool Nether-Prime is dead.”

“I know. He was killed by a human.”

“It seems an interesting existence has come to our Five Ghost Forest.”

“Kill or release?” a hoarse voice asked.

“If we release him, how will our Ghost Race maintain our standing? Kill, but we must be strategic about it,” a voice responded.

“Send others to probe his strength. Then we’ll ambush and kill him.”

“What if we’re no match?” another voice asked.

“You don’t expect Lord Ghost God to wipe our asses for us, do you?”

“Dead bird, don’t forget that our Five Ghost Forest is itself a special place.”

With these words, everyone had no more objections.

“Fierce One is also dead. Let the other four of the Five Fierce Ones lead the Bloodthirsty Ghost Race to test his depth.”

…………

The sky brightened considerably.

The rain still hadn’t stopped.

A night without words. Not only did the original downpour become more violent, but in the deep forest, cold winds also began to blow.

These winds seemed unusual.

Even the old man, an existence who had just entered the Grand Emperor realm, felt the cold.

“It’s lunar wind,” the old man said with a frown.

“I’ve heard others say that when lunar wind reaches a certain scale, wherever it passes, it can corrode everything.”

“Let’s keep moving. Try to leave here tomorrow,” Xu Zimo yawned and said.

As the carriage moved forward again,

Before long, the precious horse pulling the carriage seemed to sense something.

It began to neigh restlessly.

Moreover, it broke free from the reins and fled.

Xu Zimo looked up and saw that in the Five Ghost Forest, black shadows began floating about.

Just like black phantoms.

These black shadows were full of malevolent energy.

Laughter merged with laughter, continuously echoing through the deep forest.

“Distinguished guest has come from afar. The Five Ghost Forest welcomes you.”

“Playing tricks,” Xu Zimo snorted coldly.

With a wave of his large hand, powerful force surged forth.

The Primal Dao of Thunder surged in his hand.

Although he had currently condensed his Dao Fruit, he ultimately still didn’t possess a Primordial Spirit and couldn’t use the power of edicts.

But his current Primal Dao power was over a hundred times stronger than before.

The Dao of Thunder exploded in the void.

In front, countless thunderbolts flew through the deep forest like thunder dragons.

A sea of thunder purgatory, with heavenly thunder rolling.

Before long, countless screams rang out.

Within the thunder, four figures with powerful auras were forced to reveal their true forms.

Among these people were one man and one woman, one old man and one child.

“It’s the other four of the Five Fierce Ones,” the old man beside the carriage hurriedly said. “You killed Fierce One. They’ve come for revenge.”

“If they want revenge, they should at least be stronger than the Ghost Sovereign Nether-Prime. These are all stinking fish and rotten shrimp,” Xu Zimo shook his head.

“Kill!” On the opposite side, with the low roars of the Four Fierce Ones, countless ghost clan members surrounded Xu Zimo and began attacking.
