Don’t block the path!” someone shouted from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Xu Zimo stood on the narrow path, which could only hold one person, everyone behind him was stuck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo glanced back at the speaker, then quickened his pace toward the bottom of the Sky-Trap Island. As he reached it, he stomped heavily with his right foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrow path beneath them instantly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You brat, you’re courting death!” someone roared in fury behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo just chuckled lightly and ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the others had their own methods. Though flight was forbidden here, other approaches were not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One man’s longsword expanded to tens of thousands of meters, forming a bridge between the broken path and the Sky-Trap Island. He stepped across the giant sword with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman unfastened her silk ribbon, which extended for miles, and gracefully crossed it like a descending celestial maiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many others used their own means to cross. After arriving, they gave Xu Zimo a glance but quickly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the struggle for Heaven's Will hadn’t officially begun. To fight now would only let others reap the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not everyone was so rational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three men suddenly surrounded Xu Zimo, staring at him with predatory eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boy, so eager to die?” the one on the left sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Three Sons of Green Citadel,” someone whispered after recognizing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Three Sons of Green Citadel?” another scoffed with disdain. “Those scum dare to compete for Heaven's Will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumor has it they’re demonic cultivators. They love slaughter and plunder. Bullying the weak is one thing, but to enter the struggle for Heaven's Will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People around them murmured, watching closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo simply raised his head and gave the three a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noisy.” His voice was calm and dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand suddenly reached out, gathering the winds and clouds of the world in his palm. The force shocked the three, far beyond what they had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A tough one,” the eldest of the three muttered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could react, they were horrified to discover their bodies completely immobilized under Xu Zimo’s suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“H-how is this possible?” the eldest cried out in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the three of them were blasted away, crashing into the Dead Sea below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, their bodies dissolved, bones and all, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd looked at each other in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three Sons of Green Citadel weren’t the strongest, but they weren’t weak enough to be crushed so easily either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is that?” someone asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t even recognize the Holy Son of the True Martial Sacred Ground? And you dare enter the struggle for Heaven's Will?” another mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Xu Zimo had caused great uproars, his name had spread far and wide. Every sect had warned their disciples about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder,” someone muttered in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why many who knew his identity chose not to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re Xu Zimo,” the black-robed youth from earlier grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to team up with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Zimo remain silent, he introduced himself: “I am Jian Yushang from Morning Star Tower. Surely you’ve heard my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then at least Morning Star Tower?” the youth pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and saw that many others had already formed alliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were clearly prearranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even rogue cultivators gathered together for strength in numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Care to reconsider?” the black-robed youth asked again, unwilling to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zimo ignored him, observing his surroundings instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had gathered beneath the Sky-Trap Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the struggle for Heaven's Will began, no one could ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sat cross-legged to meditate. Others chatted quietly in small groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was strangely peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the struggle for Heaven's Will, the most brutal of contests, yet for now, it looked almost harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away. A few minor clashes broke out, but nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When dawn of the tenth day arrived, the heavens finally stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-empty void lit up with dazzling golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven's Will itself appeared like a vast galaxy, draping across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shimmered with countless daos, radiant and dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Heaven's Will appeared, the Sky-Trap Island, once rotating slowly like a top, suddenly spun rapidly, with such speed it shook the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a firm grip, one would be flung away and fall into the Dead Sea, never to be seen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, let us climb the Sky-Trap Island together!” someone laughed loudly, leaping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the island’s rotation was intense, everyone present adapted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at a slower pace, as long as they reached the summit, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo stepped into the void, locked onto a protruding boulder, and leapt up to grab it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, his whole body was caught in the rotation, spinning along with the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” a furious shout rang out beside him. Several figures suddenly attacked from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t recognize them, but only chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it was premeditated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Shadow Tyrant circling his body, he clung to the boulder with one hand, wielding the weapon with the other as he fought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, let’s drive this one out first! If he stays, none of us will have peace!” someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many nodded. Xu Zimo’s presence clearly stirred unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can all come at once,” Xu Zimo said calmly. He made no move to climb further, choosing instead to stand on the mountainside, gazing down coldly at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized one attacker by the neck and snapped it instantly, blood dripping from his hands as he stared at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the struggle for Heaven's Will, he would not retreat, not a single step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very beginning, his plan was to ascend by stepping over everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use numbers against him!” someone cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, thirty to forty cultivators surrounded Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They showed no arrogance, each treated him as the gravest threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Fates manifested one after another, painting the island in a storm of colors, strange visions erupting all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outside world watched the spectacle with rapt attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Holy Son of True Martial is truly terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But surrounded like this, he’s in real danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He doesn’t know how to hide his strength. Before the struggle begins in earnest, most keep a low profile, to avoid becoming a target too soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they argued, Xu Zimo was already fighting dozens at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held nothing back. His speed was such that even his shadow was hard to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all of them were so-called prodigies, the gap was staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized two by the throats and smashed their skulls into the island’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heads embedded into the rocky mountainside as their bodies spun with the island’s violent rotation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-06T01:07:06.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","fdf35f26bedffa94883d586335bc65d325423aea0c927312ea3997e22687d949","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1013","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1011",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
