I Truly Am The Villian

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007 The Task is Completed, Destiny Shall Emerge

In the moment when Slaying Immortal Sect fell, Xu Zimei felt several powerful gazes piercing through the void from the depths of the firmament, landing upon him.

The attitude in these gazes was thought-provoking.

He spared the Slaying Immortal Sect, which can be said to be near extinction in both name and reality.

Without resources, it would not be difficult to rebuild, but it would be nearly impossible to return to their former glory and splendor.

Leaving one out of the five great ancestors was, in a way, the final protection for them.

And the other experts, in this great battle, either died or were injured, with merely one-tenth of their strength remaining.

By sparing the Slaying Immortal Sect, not only could those Great Emperors not hate him, they actually owed him a favor.

This was the condition for the Slaying Immortal Sect’s continued existence.

In a sense, the relationship between him and Slaying Immortal Sect was not beyond salvation; the most crucial figure was merely Lu Changhen.

The matter with Slaying Immortal Sect was resolved.

The colossal body of Chaos carried everyone towards the True Martial Holy Sect, and Xu Zimei also made a return trip to the Divine Continent in the midst of the journey.

As a Nirvana Void being, the Heavenly Cang Demon Roc, after undergoing a series of training, ultimately succumbed.

Although Xu Zimei had not witnessed the training process.

He looked towards Bai Meng and others, asking, “How is the development of the Divine Continent now?”

“There are no overly special existences, all is well,” Bai Meng replied.

He replaced Xu Zimei in inspecting the entire continent, acting like Heavenly Dao, playing a supervisory role.

“Heavenly Destiny is about to form; once I carry it, this world will undergo another transformation,” Xu Zimei stated.

“Then it will be time to go to Heaven Beyond Heavens.”

“Indeed, after all, Heaven Beyond Heavens is the true battlefield,” Bai Meng nodded.

“How goes your cultivation?” Xu Zimei inquired.

Bai Meng and the others had already achieved the opening of ten Vein Gates, and upon reaching Heaven Beyond Heavens, they would naturally be Great Saint-level beings.

It’s known that to carry Heavenly Destiny, the Great Emperors had but opened nine Vein Gates.

And after the Great Saint, the next level was Dao Fruit Powerhouse.

Existence of eleven Vein Gates.

During these times, Xu Zimei had been using the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent to directly assist Bai Meng and the others in their comprehension.

With Heavenly Dao right before them and the Great Dao’s rules fully revealed in the void, these were conditions others could hardly experience in a lifetime.

Bai Meng smiled and shook his head, replying, “Dao Fruit is not so easily comprehended.

Even laying the Great Dao before my eyes is not enough to reach it in such a short time.

However, I do now have some clues.”

“That’s good,” Xu Zimei nodded, then instructed, “I’ve kept the Myriad Demons Tribe hidden because their strength is too formidable.

Their sudden appearance would likely affect the world’s development.

But looking at it now, the Myriad Demons Tribe can gradually begin to reveal a tip of their iceberg and come into the world earlier.”

The development of this world was not something Xu Zimei should interfere with excessively; all things evolved according to their own laws.

As the world evolves to a higher level and becomes stronger, his chances of interference would reduce.

But sometimes, he could not allow certain creatures that would destroy his world to exist.

Then the Myriad Demons Tribe was the best solution.

Controlled by him from the shadows, many things he could not do, the Myriad Demons Tribe could do in his place.

Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Bai Meng nodded slightly.

“I will arrange this.”

“Don’t reveal too much at once, come into it gradually,” Xu Zimei reminded.

He then left the Divine Continent.

……

The weather had turned to autumn, with yellowing leaves like the Yuan Central Continent at this era, desolate and bleak.

The sky was darkly black, with clouds covering the sky.

The news of Slaying Immortal Sect’s defeat spread to various Imperial Rule Immortal Sects immediately and then to some first and second-tier forces.

Soon enough, the entire Yuan Central Continent, including Loose Cultivators and civilians, were all aware.

A sect with five emperors like the Slaying Immortal Sect had been defeated, their Immortal Mountain destroyed, four of the five ancestors crippled their cultivation to preserve Slaying Immortal Sect.

And they publicly apologized to the Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect.

This news, like heavenly thunderbolt, shocked everyone’s hearts.

Before the war, although some were optimistic about the True Martial Holy Sect, it was only seen as mutual battle, not expecting Slaying Immortal Sect to be defeated so thoroughly.

This era, it seems, might indeed be dominated by the True Martial Holy Sect.

Unless, unless Xu Zimei fails to claim Heavenly Destiny.

This was the only opportunity left for other powers to rise.

Without carrying Heavenly Destiny, his strength was already formidable; should he truly become a Great Emperor, it’s feared there would be no place for others in this life.

Many forces were anxious, but they all warned their disciples not to provoke anyone from True Martial Holy Sect at this time.

……

After returning to True Martial Holy Sect, Xu Zimei found Elder Three, who was Ruhu’s grandfather.

“Elder Three, how is the task I entrusted to you?” Xu Zimei asked with a smile.

“It’s almost done,” Elder Three said with a smile.

“But you should go to see the Sect Master. I think he has something to say to you.”

“Sect Master Xiao?” Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

“Don’t hold such a strong opinion against Sect Master Xiao; he has his own difficulties,” Elder Three said.

“I understand,” Xu Zimei nodded.

He wasn’t one to hold grudges; since he promised Heavenly Curtain War God, he naturally wouldn’t dwell on the matter.

After bidding farewell to Elder Three, Xu Zimei went to the island where Sect Master Xiao resided.

Sect Master Xiao, in a green robe, was clearly waiting for him for a long time.

“You’re here,” Sect Master Xiao said.

“Elder Three asked me to find you,” Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

“The location of the Taoist Clan has been clarified; their Saint Heir should currently be inside the clan,” Sect Master Xiao replied.

“Because of the Taoist Clan’s reclusiveness, they live in their own small world.

I’ve captured someone from the Taoist Clan; he can lead you into that small world.”

“Thank you,” Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

All his grudges and grievances were almost settled, with only the Reincarnation Elder left.

He, after reincarnation, became the Taoist Clan’s Saint Heir, a fact Xu Zimei was aware of.

Seeing Xu Zimei about to leave, Sect Master Xiao quickly spoke up, “I should apologize for what happened last time.”

“I’ve forgotten about it already; let’s not bring it up again,” Xu Zimei left without turning back.

Some matters were already clear at heart, there was no need to be explicitly thorough.

Watching Xu Zimei’s departing figure, Sect Master Xiao stayed silent for a moment, ultimately letting out a few light chuckles.

……

Returning to Goose Southern Peak, Xu Zimei did not set off for the Taoist Clan.

He intended to let the sect handle the affairs with the Taoist Clan; he needed time to rest and prepare for the Heavenly Destiny soon to emerge.

He looked up towards the horizon; the Heavenly Destiny was nearing completion.

An ancient and eternal path stretched from one end of the horizon to the other.

It spread across the vast expanse of the void.
