I Truly Am The Villian

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016: Insect Eggs, The Creature in the Great Hall

The momentum was massive, and the entire Avenue of Skeletons began to shake.

The monster, with eyes as startling and ferocious as the sun and moon, stared at Xu Zimei.

All around, countless petrified tentacles began to densely converge above.

The Dead Sea was stirred into a murky turmoil.

“Kneel,” the monster said in an unquestionable tone.

“Because of you?” Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

“Beg for mercy now, and the great Anis might consider sparing your life,” the monster looked down at Xu Zimei with an overwhelming sense of oppression.

“Anis,” Xu Zimei responded.

“Are you the creature from another continent?”

“Court death, daring to call my name directly,” the monster roared angrily.

Then, countless tentacles came killing from all sides like an overwhelming blanket.

“Merely bluffing,” Xu Zimei snorted coldly.

In his hand, the Tyrant Shadow’s Blade Intent surrounded him, forming a protective sphere of blade energy.

Any tentacle that came close to him would be instantly shattered.

“Keep going, I want to see what other tricks you have,” Xu Zimei said with a smile as he walked towards the monster.

Obviously, the monster had some reservations.

Although Xu Zimei didn’t know what it was wary of.

If the opponent were truly strong enough, it would not need to hide underneath the Dead Sea and use the void insects to divert everyone’s attention to Trap Empty Island above.

If it were him, he would do the same.

Trap Empty Island was where everyone competed for Destiny; he would not stay there unless he was strong enough.

Although the monster’s momentum seemed immense, it could only wield these tentacles, somewhat bluffing.

Xu Zimei rose into the air with Blade Intent, completely untouchable by those tentacles.

As he got closer to the creature, the monster seemed to panic.

“Human, leave this place, and I can overlook your offence,” the monster said.

“What is inside the hall?” Xu Zimei asked back.

He could feel it; both the voice and the power stemmed from inside the hall,

not from the monster itself.

For it was nothing more than a hall.

“Human, take one more step forward, and you will surely die,” the monster continuously shouted.

Xu Zimei ignored it and sprinted into the hall.

Although he personally disdained the Heavenly Dao, he was aware that it gathered everyone here and surely wouldn’t lead them all to death.

Otherwise, what would become of the Destiny of this era?

The world needs to grow too.

Watching Xu Zimei’s figure, the monster seemed to grow even more insane.

The countless tentacles stopped trying to kill Xu Zimei; instead, they just kept blocking him.

With the Tyrant Shadow in hand, Xu Zimei cut through all obstacles and finally stood in front of the grand hall.

“Human, think carefully, don’t regret entering,” the monster said tonelessly.

As if it knew its own fate, the monster did not struggle but rather calmed down.

“I have never regretted,” Xu Zimei replied.

He stepped into the dark hall.

The dazzling light on the Tyrant Shadow in his hand flickered, illuminating everything inside.

Xu Zimei could finally see the inside of the hall.

The space wasn’t very wide; the walls around were still covered densely with tentacles.

Only directly in front, there appeared something like an insect egg.

It could still scare someone with trypophobia.

The entire body is pale yellow, like cream, covered with a smooth protective film.

It splits open from the middle, pulsating clearly like a heartbeat.

A strong life force rushes towards him.

The intensity of this life force is only second to the Tree of Life that Xu Zimei has encountered before, illustrating its immense power.

“Kid, you came in here on your own,” a creature inside the insect egg spoke.

“Whatever happens, you bear the consequences.”

“What consequences could there possibly be?” Xu Zimei said with a light smile.

“Besides, what exactly are you? I’ve never seen anything like you before.”

Because of the insect egg, Xu Zimei couldn’t see the scene inside.

“My name is Anis, I’m not just anything, I am from the great Cosmic Insect Race,” the creature inside explained calmly.

“Where do you come from?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Do you have any companions apart from you?”

The creature seemed too lazy to answer his questions, just curling up inside the egg, remaining silent.

“Not answering, huh?” Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

He lifted the Tyrant Shadow in his hand high above, with a majestic force radiating overhead, and chopped down heavily.

With a “bang,” the seemingly fragile insect egg was as solid as a rock, completely unshaken.

“Don’t waste your effort, your strength is not enough to break my defense,” the creature replied indifferently.

“Even bearing Destiny won’t help you.”

“I’m someone who likes challenges,” Xu Zimei smiled.

The nineteen styles of Way of Inquiry gathered on the Tyrant Shadow, permeated with the Creation Force, causing the entire hall to shake.

Xu Zimei raised his sword, a blade light slashed through the darkness, shattering the void along its path.

Even the grand hall was split into two by the Tyrant Shadow.

But when it hit the insect egg, there was just a deep “bang bang” sound, without any visible damage.

“Swastika, Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation,” Xu Zimei shouted lightly, unwilling to give up.

In his left hand, the power to swallow the heavens gathered, his five fingers turning into a vast black hole.

In his right palm, the Swastika was spinning.

As the ten Divine Methods were deployed, even the long-silent Dead Sea surged with huge waves.

The entire Dead Sea turned upside down, perhaps unable to withstand this overwhelming pressure.

The void around spontaneously exploded, shattering into pieces.

Xu Zimei attacked the insect egg once more.

With a “boom,” an earth-shattering explosion erupted.

The surrounding great hall collapsed thunderously, and the Avenue of Skeletons beneath was split into countless pieces.

Xu Zimei looked down and found that the insect egg was still undamaged.

“Interesting,” he chuckled lightly.

“I told you not to waste your energy,” the creature inside the egg spoke.

“If you leave now, I’ll withdraw all the insects from Trap Empty Island.”

“No, compared to others, I’m more interested in you now,” Xu Zimei shook his head.

The creature fell silent for a moment, then said: “How about we make a deal?”

“What kind of deal?” Xu Zimei asked with interest.

“You want to fight for Destiny, right? I can have the void insects cooperate with you, help you fight for Destiny, how about that?”

“Why would you help me?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Just non-aggression. I only seek a place to reside,” the creature replied.

“I believe it’s not just a place to reside you want, but rather revival,” Xu Zimei smiled.

“Once you come out of this insect egg, you might not be the same as you are now.”

“So what, even if you know, you cannot do anything about me, not even Heavenly Dao can,” the creature replied.
