I Really Am A Villain

Sword force collided with righteous force, stalling for a brief moment.

Then it was blasted away by a single punch from Xu Zimo.

“So this is the power of the Human Sovereign? Looks like it’s nothing special,” Mortal Sovereign sneered.

He waved his hand again.

High above the heavens, the second sword descended in an eruption of force.

It shattered the void, carrying an aura of death that struck fear into the heart.

This second flying sword was stronger than the first.

Within the Immortal-Slaying Undying Formation, each of the four swords was stronger than the last.

This second sword was the Sword of Death.

Vast deathly energy rippled across the sky as it fell once more toward Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo swung his right hand.

He forcibly met the sword head-on.

At the same time, he let out a muffled groan, clearly straining himself.

Mortal Sovereign saw hope in this.

“So the old man isn’t invincible after all,” Mortal Sovereign rejoiced.

“Third sword, fourth sword, strike for me.”

As his words fell, the third sword representing space and the fourth sword representing time descended simultaneously.

“Brother Luo, I’ll lend you a hand,” Bone Demon shouted excitedly.

He stretched out his hand.

A hellish evil claw slammed down.

That claw seemed to carry countless vengeful souls, intent on annihilating everything it touched.

Shrieks and wails echoed through the air.

Meanwhile, the swords of space and time split apart, freezing all time and space.

This strike was meant to kill Xu Zimo outright.

“I’m not willing to accept this!” Xu Zimo roared.

The righteous force around him gathered, forming the shape of a towering mountain.

Then righteous force collided with sword force and the evil claw.

In the end, everything exploded violently.

…

Inside the Human Sovereign Academy, Xu Zimo fell from the air, his body covered in blood.

“Sir, are you all right?” Liu Xu’er, whom he had rescued earlier, hurried over and supported him in her arms.

“Run. Run as far away as you can,” Xu Zimo said with difficulty.

“How could I be someone who clings to life and fears death?” Liu Xu’er said resolutely.

“While I still have some strength left, I can protect you as we leave here. Do you have somewhere to go?” Xu Zimo asked again.

“Back to our Jade Maiden Palace. Our ancestor is an Infinite Dao powerhouse. They wouldn’t dare to invade,” Liu Xu’er replied firmly.

“That might not be appropriate…” Xu Zimo “coughed blood”.

“I’ve heard that your Jade Maiden Palace never allows men to enter.”

“At a time like this, how could we cling to rigid rules? Besides, you’re my lifesaving benefactor,” Liu Xu’er said as she helped Xu Zimo up.

Xu Zimo asked again, “But I’ve heard the island where the Jade Maiden Palace is located is always drifting and impossible to locate. Can you really find it?”

“Of course. We have a special method for locating the island,” Liu Xu’er said.

“Let’s leave the Human Sovereign Palace first.”

Xu Zimo nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he tore open a rift in space and left together with Liu Xu’er.

Before leaving, the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

I really am a good actor.

He then temporarily sealed the Human Sovereign Palace, which would stall Bone Demon and Mortal Sovereign for a while.

…

After the violent explosions in the void subsided, the Human Sovereign Palace was left in complete ruin.

Many palaces had collapsed.

Even important structures like the Hall of Transmission were falling apart.

“Where did he go?” Bone Demon scanned the palace, frowning.

“He escaped,” Mortal Sovereign struck the void heavily.

Unfortunately, the Human Sovereign Palace was sealed.

Breaking through it would take time they could not afford.

“That brat is cunning. If he escapes, he’ll become a major threat,” Bone Demon said worriedly.

“Don’t worry,” Mortal Sovereign replied calmly.

“He was able to contend with us only because of the Human Sovereign’s power. Now that power has dissipated. When we meet again, I’ll kill him.”

The two nodded.

They arrived at the ruins of the Human Sovereign Academy.

Mortal Sovereign stomped his foot, and all the rubble of the collapsed academy instantly disintegrated.

“Where are the inheritance jade token and the Otherworldly Demon Stone?” Mortal Sovereign frowned deeply.

“That damn kid took them,” Bone Demon said.

“Why do I feel something’s off?” Mortal Sovereign frowned even harder.

“What’s wrong?” Bone Demon asked.

“I don’t know. I just vaguely feel that something isn’t right,” Mortal Sovereign shook his head.

“What should we do next?” Bone Demon asked again.

“Heh,” Mortal Sovereign sneered.

“Brother finally trusts me now?”

“Of course. You and I are on the same side now. We should join forces,” Bone Demon replied.

“Let’s first talk about the powerhouses of the Great Beyond. The five major forces are the most prominent. Besides them, there are also dangerous lands like Five Ghost Forest and Genesis Island, where Infinite Dao powerhouses exist.”

Mortal Sovereign continued, “But most Infinite Dao cultivators don’t involve themselves in worldly affairs. Only the five major forces are worth worrying about. If the Infinite Dao powerhouses of the five major forces join hands, we’ll be at a disadvantage.”

“So the best course is to strike before they can react, defeating them one by one. That way, we can rule the Great Beyond.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s wipe them out one by one,” Bone Demon said eagerly.

For him, ruling the Great Beyond was an obsession.

Back then, he died without achieving that goal.

Now that he had the chance, he naturally wouldn’t give it up.

…

On the other side, Liu Xu’er led the heavily injured Xu Zimo southward.

Her hands formed seals rapidly.

At first, the seal was only the size of a palm, but as it grew larger, it gradually seemed to envelop both of them.

“Is this a teleportation seal?” Xu Zimo asked in surprise.

“It’s an Origin Transmission. I can’t really explain it to you,” Liu Xu’er said hesitantly.

This was a secret of the Jade Maiden Palace.

Naturally, she didn’t want to reveal it.

Xu Zimo nodded and didn’t press the issue.

He only wanted to reach the Jade Maiden Palace and see whether the Desolate Tree was there.

Finally, as the seal expanded further, it wrapped around Xu Zimo and Liu Xu’er and turned into a streak of light that vanished into the void.

Xu Zimo could feel it.

It was as if he were traveling between dimensions.

No wonder no one could find the Jade Maiden Palace.

This place was indeed extraordinary.

After about a day and a night, Xu Zimo’s figure gradually descended as the speed slowed.

He raised his head.

At some point, he had arrived on a massive island.

This island was completely different from the Great Beyond.

As its name suggested, the Great Beyond was filled with desolation.

But here, birds sang and flowers bloomed, with spring reigning all year round.

Countless trees grew luxuriantly.

Flowers of every kind bloomed in competition.

It was a picture-perfect secluded paradise.

“Interesting, isn’t it?” Liu Xu’er said.

“Our place is nothing like the outside world.”

“Why is it different?” Xu Zimo asked.

“That’s a secret,” Liu Xu’er replied, still unwilling to say more.

“I’ll take you to heal first.”

“I’m fine. I can heal myself,” Xu Zimo quickly shook his head.
