I Really Am A Villain

“True Martial Sacred Ground, let this matter end here. Consider it as giving our Divine Court some respect,” the two figures within the Immortal Gate said slowly.

They were the gatekeepers of the Divine Court, known as Heavenly Eye and Earthly Ear.

Hearing this, Xu Zimo and the others who had been advancing from behind came to a stop.

“This is a conflict between us and the Eighteen Blade Purgatory. Does the Divine Court also intend to intervene?” Xu Zimo asked calmly.

Heavenly Eye and Earthly Ear fell silent for a moment.

Then Heavenly Eye spoke. “The Eighteen Blade Purgatory was, after all, an affiliated force of ours. Now that it has been destroyed, leaving Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord alive is already giving the Divine Court some respect.”

“Giving you respect?” Xu Zimo smiled indifferently. “Then who is giving respect to our True Martial Sacred Ground?”

Inside the Divine Court, the two felt that Xu Zimo was pushing things too far.

Did everything really need to be taken to such extremes?

But for Xu Zimo, Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord had to die. The two had already become mortal enemies.

Leaving behind a Three Blossoms enemy would be nothing short of courting death.

Thus, Xu Zimo’s stance was unyielding.

Hearing this, Heavenly Eye grew irritated.

“And what if our Divine Court insists on sheltering Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord?”

“Enough nonsense. Then let’s go to war. Try us,” God-Eye Dao Lord snorted coldly.

He was not afraid of the Divine Court.

Heavenly Eye and Earthly Ear felt that the authority of the Divine Court had been challenged. With a command, Heavenly Eye said, “Giant Mountain, go test them.”

From within the immortal mist of the Divine Court, something seemed to awaken.

Rumble, rumble.

The Divine Gate began to tremble, and pressure spread through the void.

A giant strode out from the void.

Like a colossal spirit god, his body was enormous, his gaze blazing. With every step he took, heaven and earth shook.

At the entrance of the Divine Court stood thirty thousand divine soldiers and generals.

This giant was their leader, commanding them all in guarding the Divine Court.

He was an old Three Blossoms powerhouse.

His strength was terrifying, and he cultivated the Edict of Force.

Moreover, he had walked this path to its extreme. Few could rival him in pure strength.

When Giant Mountain stepped forth, the entire void trembled.

He looked at Xu Zimo and God-Eye Dao Lord.

His voice boomed with authority. “Leave Divine Mountain.”

“Come and be slain,” Xu Zimo said, beckoning with his hand.

Giant Mountain snorted coldly.

He stretched out his hand. With a boom, an enormous explosion sounded from afar.

Rumble, rumble.

Divine Mountain collapsed as a massive battle axe flew out from beneath it, cleaving through endless void.

The axe returned to Giant Mountain’s hand.

With eyes wide in fury and an overwhelming aura, he swung the axe down at Xu Zimo and God-Eye Dao Lord.

“Not something we can confront head-on,” Xu Zimo thought immediately.

The opponent was a Three Blossoms cultivator who cultivated the Edict of Force. In terms of raw power, he was absolute.

Xu Zimo roared and retreated at once.

Boom!

The axe struck the mountain, and the entire peak shattered into pieces.

“Chains of Heavenly Loathing,” God-Eye Dao Lord shouted softly.

Purple flames ignited around him.

The flames formed chains that shattered the void and wrapped around Giant Mountain.

Both of Giant Mountain’s arms were bound, preventing him from wielding the axe.

“Kill him!” God-Eye Dao Lord roared.

Giant Mountain struggled violently.

Rumble, rumble.

The Chains of Heavenly Loathing trembled, seeming unable to hold much longer.

Xu Zimo gripped Shadow Tyrant, and the blade expanded hundreds of times, growing as large as the giant axe.

Terrifying power surged like collapsing mountains and raging seas.

“Nine Hells Desolation,” Xu Zimo said softly.

The curved blade descended with unstoppable might.

Yet when it struck Giant Mountain, it only cut open a shallow wound, failing to deal serious damage.

Giant Mountain burst into laughter.

“Brat, my body is steel and iron, specially tempered. Even powerhouses of the same level might not be able to hurt me. You think you can kill me?”

Xu Zimo did not answer. The second blade, Slay Myriad Immortals, fell.

With this blade, divine palaces shattered and the cosmos fell silent.

Boom!

Overwhelming power surged as the strike landed.

Giant Mountain let out a painful roar.

The shallow cut was torn wider, becoming a deep, bleeding gash.

Giant Mountain’s face turned dark. His earlier words had been slapped back into his face.

Xu Zimo sneered. “Again.”

He raised Shadow Tyrant once more.

“The third blade, Grand Sun Extinction.”

At that moment, Shadow Tyrant no longer seemed like a blade but like a blazing sun, capable of annihilating everything.

The blade fell like a crashing sun.

Boom!

Boundless solar light erupted, carrying endless searing heat.

It all slammed into Giant Mountain.

It was as if a sun had been pierced through.

“Ah!” Giant Mountain screamed miserably.

His body was now a mangled mass of flesh, gravely injured.

“The next blade will take your life,” Xu Zimo said calmly.

“Damn it. I will remember today’s humiliation,” Giant Mountain roared.

Above his head, two flower petals bloomed.

These were his Three Blossoms.

One petal ignited.

Instantly, Giant Mountain’s power surged. He broke free of God-Eye Dao Lord’s restraint in a single burst.

The Chains of Heavenly Loathing snapped apart.

He then struck Xu Zimo, forcing him back, his body swelling to several times its size, his strength becoming overwhelming.

This sudden change startled Xu Zimo.

God-Eye Dao Lord, however, remained calm. “He burned one flower. Even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be crippled. He won’t recover for a long time.”

Xu Zimo nodded. This was the first time he had seen such a method from a Three Blossoms powerhouse.

No wonder killing a Three Blossoms cultivator was so difficult.

At the very least, Three Blossoms meant three chances to save one’s life.

“Interesting,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

He looked at Giant Mountain and asked, “Still want to fight?”

“You are challenging the authority of the Divine Court,” Giant Mountain roared.

“Does your True Martial Sacred Ground truly intend to go to war with the Divine Court?”

“You’re the ones forcing a war,” God-Eye Dao Lord said calmly.

“Sheltering our enemy was crossing the line first.”

Just as Giant Mountain hesitated, unsure how to decide, a loud shout rang out from afar.

“The Primal God Overlord’s decree has arrived. Giant Mountain, receive the decree.”

A figure tore through the sky and descended.

Giant Mountain immediately knelt, respectfully saying, “This subordinate receives the decree.”

“The Eighteen Blade Purgatory has been destroyed. Summon Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord into the Divine Court to serve as an official. The True Martial Sacred Ground may present its demands, and the Divine Court will compensate in full,” the envoy declared firmly.

After all, Heavenly Dragon Dao Lord was a Three Blossoms powerhouse.

To the Divine Court, he was extremely valuable.
