I Really Am A Villain

New Novel🪶

As the blade intent roared downward, the dense web of threads blocked the way like an impenetrable barrier.

A thunderous boom shook the heavens. The web shattered layer by layer beneath the fury of the blade.

Though it delayed the strike only briefly, that moment was enough for the Burning Heaven Demon Sovereign to retreat at full speed, widening the distance between himself and Xu Zimo.

He stared at Xu Zimo, his expression grim. “Strange… You’re just a Grand Emperor. How can you wield the power of Primal Dao, and even the essence of a Life-Death Soul?”

“Are you ready to die yet?” Xu Zimo asked calmly, pointing his blade toward him.

“Who dies is far from certain,” the Demon Sovereign snorted coldly.

Blazing fire surged around him, the black Flames of Destruction burning with terrifying intensity. Even the void itself began to melt under their heat.

“Explosive Flame Annihilation!”

The Demon Sovereign raised both hands, infernal energy flooding the sky until the heavens darkened. Beneath that black canopy, billions of fireballs condensed one after another, like meteors heralding the world’s end.

Countless meteors rained down at once, crashing toward Xu Zimo.

Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes. With his Heaven-Earth Dharma Codex active, his body had grown immense, there was no room to evade such a barrage.

“If I can’t dodge,” he said coldly, “then I’ll just crush them all.”

With his right hand gripping his blade and his left clenched into a fist, he didn’t wait for the meteors to fall. Instead, he leapt straight into the heavens, charging into the descending storm.

Thunderous explosions boomed endlessly above. Meteor after meteor shattered, breaking into fragments of scorched stone.

Blades cleaved through the heavens; fists shattered falling stars.

From afar, it looked as though the entire sky itself had cracked apart.

Ordinarily, the falling fragments should have destroyed everything below, razing the land.

Yet those within the Lotus Pathway were untouched, for the Five-Elements God-Lotus shielded them, intercepting the debris before it could touch the ground.

In mere moments, Xu Zimo had obliterated every last meteor.

Standing proudly in midair, his eyes burned with resolve as he stared at the Burning Heaven Demon Sovereign.

The blade in his hand, Shadow Tyrant, sang with a shrill, resonant cry.

From his right hand poured a sea of blade energy, an infernal prison of pure slaughter, all directed toward the Demon Sovereign.

“Don’t be so hasty,” the Demon Sovereign sneered.

Forming a hand seal, he called upon the remnants of the shattered meteors. From their fragments, clusters of black fire began to gather once more.

“Black Lotus Explosion, Infernal Flame Dragon Surge!”

His shout shook the void. The countless Flames of Destruction coalesced into the shape of a massive black lotus.

The lotus faced Xu Zimo, and from its heart burst a torrent of infernal flame, like a dragon’s breath.

The blast erased the void itself, reducing heaven and earth to nothingness.

Xu Zimo raised Shadow Tyrant before him, meeting the torrent head-on.

But the flood of flame was unstoppable. It slammed into him with devastating force, flinging him backward through the sky like a shooting star piercing the darkness.

“Chasing me only to seek death,” the Demon Sovereign scoffed.

He turned his gaze toward the other battlefields, preparing to lend aid, but froze mid-step.

Cold sweat beaded on his brow.

Before him, Xu Zimo stood completely unscathed.

“You, how…?”

“You’re wondering how I survived, aren’t you?” Xu Zimo smiled. “That was merely my Avatar. Pathetic, you really thought you’d killed me.”

“So what?” the Demon Sovereign sneered. “If I can kill your clone, I can kill your true body as well.”

“You really think so?” Xu Zimo replied lightly.

Power surged within him, the might of Heaven itself shaking the world. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Above his head appeared the Three Gates, reaching toward the heavens.

Among the Ten Primordial God-Scriptures, many could be combined.

Now, the Aryan-Swastika God-Seal formed in the center of his palm.

The instant the sacred symbol appeared, the sky began to twist and warp.

He released it, an overwhelming sigil of annihilation flying straight toward the Demon Sovereign’s chest.

The Burning Heaven Demon Sovereign tried to dodge, but the Swastika Seal pursued him relentlessly, impossible to evade.

“Damn it!” he cursed, forced to turn and meet the blow head-on.

The seal detonated before him, and the resulting blast sent him hurtling backward through the air.

Before he could recover, Xu Zimo’s next strike came, a single finger pointed forward.

Creation-Devouring God-Finger!

The strike pierced straight through the Demon Sovereign’s forehead.

A scream tore from his throat as his body was flung violently away.

Xu Zimo turned back and saw the Inferno Crucible Envoy seated cross-legged before the spatial passage, runes of light streaming from her form into the portal.

Satisfied, he allowed himself a brief smile.

Though grievously wounded, the Burning Heaven Demon Sovereign did not die.

He staggered to his feet, the blood on his brow hardening into a dark scar.

His gaze toward Xu Zimo was now full of dread.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Zimo asked. “Still want to fight?”

The Demon Sovereign looked toward the other battlefields and shouted, “Everyone! At this rate, we’ll be fighting until eternity. Use the trump card!”

At his command, the other Saint Sovereigns of the Huo Heavenly Clan broke away from Paimon and the others.

The Golden Crow Saint Sovereign spoke first: “Activate the Primal Ancestral Flame!”

“The Primal Ancestral Flame is the foundation of our entire clan,” protested the Alchemy Sovereign urgently. “Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I say we leave it untouched!”

“What’s there to fear?” said the Hell Sovereign. “If we don’t use it today, we’ll never destroy them!”

The Alchemy Sovereign hesitated, thinking more carefully, then turned to Ancient Void. “Ancient Void, since our two forces have joined hands, surely the Heavenly Court didn’t send you alone?”

“Rest assured,” Ancient Void said confidently. “Reinforcements from the Heavenly Court are on their way. But they’ll appear only at the crucial moment. For now, ignite the Primal Ancestral Flame. Today we’ve laid a net of heaven and earth, even a true immortal descending to the mortal world couldn’t save them.”

Reassured by his words, the members of the Huo Heavenly Clan nodded grimly.

“Awaken the Primal Ancestral Flame!” the Golden Crow Saint Sovereign commanded.

Hidden clansmen of the Huo Heavenly Clan rushed toward the sacred fire grounds.

There, they broke the ancient seal upon the fire source.

Instantly, a column of scorching flame burst into the heavens, reaching all the way to the roots of the Five-Elements God-Lotus above.

It was the clan’s supreme treasure, the foundation upon which their lineage had stood for countless millennia.

Without it, the Huo Heavenly Clan could never have survived, let alone thrived.

Now that the Primal Ancestral Flame was awakened, every clansman felt their blood boil, their power surge as though their very essence was ablaze.

“The Primal Ancestral Flame awakens, Heaven and Earth shall burn to ashes! All disciples of the Huo Heavenly Clan, bow before the source!”

The Golden Crow Saint Sovereign’s voice echoed across the entire clan.

All around, members of the Huo Heavenly Clan dropped to their knees in reverence.

In the void above, the flames coalesced into the shape of a human face.

An ancient, resonant laugh came from its fiery mouth.

“Golden Crow brat, for what purpose have you awakened this old man?”
