I Really Am A Villain

Behind the Black Crow Saint Son, space twisted into a black vortex.

Carrying terrifying devouring force, it locked him firmly in place.

The Black Crow Saint Son’s face was filled with terror.

He struggled desperately and shouted for help, “Save me! Sect Master, save me!”

“So noisy,” a cold snort sounded nearby.

“The entrance is the Hall of Transmission trial. No one is allowed to disrupt it by fighting. Otherwise, you become an enemy of the five major powers.”

Everyone turned to look at the speaker. It was Mei Fengmo, the Sect Master of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect.

At first glance, his words seemed reasonable.

But upon closer thought, they were deeply insidious.

When Elder Celestial Brilliance attacked earlier, he did not intervene.

Now that the Black Crow Saint Son was in danger, he suddenly stepped in.

Worse still, he tried to drag all five major powers into the matter.

However, no one present was foolish.

On the Primordial Demon Gate’s side, Carefree Monk immediately stated his position. “We will not involve ourselves in this matter.”

Zhang Meng of the Azure Cloud Ancient Sect and Wang Buyu of the Heart Sword Ancient Sect quickly followed, also declaring non-involvement.

That left only the Jade Maiden Palace.

The Jade Maiden Palace accepted only women, all of whom wore veils, adding an air of mystery.

Their Saintess, Liu Xu’er, spoke calmly, her voice cool and detached. “The affairs of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect have nothing to do with us. Sect Master Mei, do not drag us into this.”

As her words fell, Mei Fengmo’s expression turned ugly.

He looked at Xu Zimo and said, “Even if the other four sects refuse to interfere, my Ghost Moon Ancient Sect cannot ignore this. This matter ends here. We will not pursue it further.”

“You can try pursuing it,” Xu Zimo smiled calmly.

He stepped forward, one step at a time.

Shadow Tyrant was already drawn from its sheath.

Mei Fengmo’s face darkened further.

“I said this ends here. Did you not hear me?”

He thrust his hand forward, and a colossal palm manifested in the air.

The palm was shrouded in black mist as it slammed down toward Xu Zimo.

“Nope. Didn’t hear you.”

Xu Zimo swung Shadow Tyrant.

With a single strike, the giant palm was split apart.

The blade force continued onward, crashing heavily into the Black Crow Saint Son.

A scream rang out.

The Black Crow Saint Son was instantly reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.

“So you think having a little strength gives you the right to run wild,” Mei Fengmo roared, his eyes splitting with rage.

Baleful energy surged wildly from his body.

It condensed into a massive demonic giant that appeared within the Hall of Transmission.

“It’s the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect’s Baleful Giant,” someone exclaimed.

The giant roared and charged at Xu Zimo.

The earth shook and the heavens trembled. The entire Hall of Transmission swayed violently.

Behind Xu Zimo, a Heaven-Shattering Giant rose from the ground, towering like the sky itself, nearly as tall as the palace.

With a single punch, the Heaven-Shattering Giant smashed the baleful giant flying.

“Destroy it,” Xu Zimo ordered.

The Heaven-Shattering Giant leapt atop the baleful giant and rained down punch after punch, quickly beating it into fragments.

Mei Fengmo’s expression grew increasingly grim.

“So this is all the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect’s Sect Master amounts to,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

Mei Fengmo snorted heavily.

The baleful laws around him erupted into chaos.

“Everyone, stay back. This baleful energy can make people lose their minds and turn them into puppets,” someone shouted in warning.

The crowd hurriedly retreated.

Mei Fengmo laughed coldly.

“Dance of Myriad Demons.”

Within the surging baleful energy, countless creatures were born.

There were walking corpses, demons, asuras, and living skeletons.

All of them were beings Mei Fengmo had slain and refined.

“Tear him apart,” Mei Fengmo commanded.

All the dead creatures charged toward Xu Zimo.

Baleful energy churned violently. Deathly aura filled the air.

“They are already dead. I’ll send you all to hell,” Xu Zimo said calmly.

He raised his blade.

“Nine Hells Desolation.”

With this strike, all living beings were destined for hell.

The Yellow Springs surged endlessly.

Red spider lilies bloomed across the ground.

Hell beckoned, and the god of death smiled coldly.

The blade fell.

It was as if an entire hell descended upon the world.

Boom.

Everyone felt countless visions flash before their eyes, followed by an explosion of black light.

When they regained their senses, all the baleful creatures had vanished.

Not only the demonic beings, but Mei Fengmo himself had been swallowed and sent into hell.

Xu Zimo slowly sheathed his blade.

At that moment, countless people held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

“The Ghost Moon Ancient Sect… has been destroyed?” someone finally said in disbelief.

“It’s over. The landscape of the Great Beyond is about to change.”

“The Ghost Moon Ancient Sect’s ancestors won’t let this go. In my view, we won’t get any share of the Human Sovereign Palace inheritance. We should leave early and avoid getting dragged into this vortex.”

Many agreed.

A number of people began to think of retreating.

But just as they tried to leave, they discovered that the Hall of Transmission had completely sealed itself.

The entrance they came through could no longer be opened.

“How can this be?” someone exclaimed.

“We’re trapped inside. There’s no way out.”

Carefree Monk looked at Xu Zimo and reminded him, “Benefactor, beware of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect’s Twin Sages. They are Infinite Dao cultivators and the true foundation of the Ghost Moon Ancient Sect.”

Xu Zimo nodded slightly.

At that moment, the Human Sovereign’s voice echoed from above.

“Fifty participants. Not a single one has passed.”

In an instant, the power of the Hall of Transmission expelled the fifty participants.

They looked at each other, faces full of regret.

“I was just one step away. I’m so unwilling.”

“It was too difficult. I didn’t even finish reading the book.”

……

“Benefactor, shall we enter together and test ourselves?” Carefree Monk asked.

Xu Zimo nodded.

“Count me in,” Zhang Meng said with a smile.

The first group had merely been a test.

The second group consisted of the core disciples of the five major powers.

Xu Zimo stepped forward.

He could clearly feel strange rule-based forces suppressing the area.

The book before him condensed into form.

Once again, ten minutes to comprehend.

But Xu Zimo did not rush to open the book.

He knew that comprehending vast righteous force did not depend on the contents of the book.

It depended on the book itself.

The book was formed entirely from vast righteous force.

Reading it could help one comprehend that power, but it was far too slow.

Xu Zimo calmed his mind and immersed his spirit.

He began to perceive it bit by bit.

From subtlety, from nothing to something.

After about three minutes, vast righteous force had already begun to form around his body.

At a certain moment, the righteous force surged skyward and fully condensed.

At the instant Xu Zimo succeeded, several geniuses from the five major powers also completed their comprehension.

This first trial was not truly difficult.

It merely filtered out those hoping to slip through by chance.

“Outside is the Bridge of Pure Heart. Cross it, and you may enter the Human Sovereign Academy,” the Human Sovereign’s voice rang out once more.
