Golden light flickered across its surface, radiating a magnificent aura. It shone with dazzling brilliance, its sound piercingly sharp, like a streak of golden light splitting the heavens as it shot toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven and Earth are bound by the Primordial Order, and among them, Supreme Unity reigns supreme! Dragon Talisman, suppress!” Supreme Unity Paragon shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous roars erupted across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked up, swinging his blade Shadow Tyrant toward the Dragon Talisman. Yet the strike sliced through empty air. The talisman vanished, winding like a coiled dragon, its twisting, root-like form encircled him from top to bottom, trapping him within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Zimo ensnared, the Elder Fiend stepped through the air, beastly might surging from his body. His massive bear-like palm came crashing down, carrying suffocating pressure and a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous strike collided with Supreme Unity Paragon’s own force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A detonation like none before shattered the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though the entire heavens had collapsed, the world breaking apart under the impact. The shockwave left even distant observers trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the rolling explosions finally settled, Supreme Unity Paragon and the Elder Fiend had flanked Xu Zimo on both sides, sealing his retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ruptured void began to heal, Xu Zimo’s figure emerged once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long black hair flowed wildly, though no wind stirred. His entire body floated in midair, wrapped in surging demonic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion of the Infernal Heart with the Hell-Suppressing Demon Physique erupted fully, endless demonic aura rolled out, threatening to devour even the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds of demonic mist swirled in the distant heavens, and something within them seemed to roar and struggle to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was like a demon god descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supreme Unity Paragon frowned slightly. “Such intense demonic energy... could he be from the Godfiend Abyss Heaven?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful,” the Elder Fiend said gravely. “This one’s not simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo slowly rose higher, demonic energy churning within his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his right hand, and a torrent of magic burst forth, sharp and bloodthirsty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ten Forms of Demon. First Form: Realm Demon. He who sees gods in the illusion of unbound realms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, space itself began to distort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Supreme Unity Paragon and the Elder Fiend, reality twisted like reflections in rippling water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the mirrored space emerged two identical figures, perfect copies of Supreme Unity Paragon and the Elder Fiend themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Form of the Realm Demon, the ultimate expression of spatial mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the Ten Forms of Demon handed down by the previous Infernal Lord, each form containing a unique power and purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two enemies exchanged wary glances, and in the mirrored realm, their reflections mimicked every motion precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Petty tricks,” Elder Fiend snorted. “You think a little illusion can deceive us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and clenched his bear-like fist, punching hard at his own reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous boom followed, both the real and mirrored bodies were thrown backward simultaneously, even their postures identical as they fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This... isn’t an illusion?” Elder Fiend gasped, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s see how you handle this!” Supreme Unity Paragon raised his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine phantom behind him transformed once again into the Dragon Talisman, which descended toward the two mirrored figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mirrored Supreme Unity Paragon mirrored him too, summoning an identical talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Dragon Talismans collided midair, shattering in a storm of divine light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine phantom re-entered Supreme Unity Paragon’s body, and he staggered, coughing up blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is impossible…” he muttered, shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smiled faintly. The Form of the Realm Demon was a supreme art of spatial law, and since he had already grasped numerous elemental truths, including that of space itself, his control over this form was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This spatial mirage of yours is strong,” Elder Fiend said coolly, “but it has a weakness. The reflections only copy our movements. If we stop attacking, they can do nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true,” Xu Zimo replied with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since you came here seeking revenge, I suppose I’ll take my leave. Bye-bye!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” Supreme Unity Paragon shouted quickly. “Dismiss this illusionary space, and face us in a fair fight. Otherwise, wherever you go, we’ll follow. Sooner or later, we’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re threatening me?” Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could say that,” Elder Fiend replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems,” Xu Zimo said softly, “that some people can’t wait to die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, and the warped illusionary void collapsed and faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the illusion vanished, the two opponents lunged simultaneously, launching twin torrents of energy that sealed off Xu Zimo’s escape from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo merely shook his head with a faint, amused smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ten Forms of Demon. The fourth, Celestial Demon. He who challenges the will of heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words echoed, thunder rolled through the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called “trial of heaven” was in truth a false heavenly law, but even a false law of heaven was far from anything mortal could endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning and divine rhythm danced through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray thunderbolts converged overhead, condensing into two vast torrents of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pair of earth-shattering crashes, the torrents struck down, engulfing Supreme Unity Paragon and the Elder Fiend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky split apart, and the storm of thunder poured down in sheets, a relentless tempest of divine wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo guided the lightning with both hands, controlling the heavenly punishment that left his enemies nowhere to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supreme Unity Paragon’s divine phantom tried to shield him, but this was no ordinary lightning, it was the thunder of heaven itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolt after bolt rained down, tearing the divine phantom apart, stripping its divinity to nothing as Supreme Unity Paragon screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Fiend, help me!” he cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to flee, but the entire sky above North River City was shrouded in lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder Fiend fared somewhat better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the thunder fell, his body expanded dozens of times over until he resembled an ancient, primordial bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous roar, he beat his chest like a wild beast, his fury shaking the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that the Elder Fiend was not human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But few knew what his true form was, or had ever seen it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing his real body, the crowd below gasped in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s... a Roaring Beast?” someone exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was a Roaring Beast? Its name was infamous across the ancient world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the Lower Eight Beast Races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Compendium described it thus. The Roaring Beast resembles an ape with long arms, skilled in throwing stones. Though monkey-like, it has existed since the primordial era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Roaring Beast race had once endured a catastrophic calamity in antiquity, and those who survived became beings of extraordinary might, each one a sacred entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Roaring Beast race was listed among the Lower Eight Beast Races, commanding all beasts beneath heaven. None dared defy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Fiend is a Roaring Beast?” someone whispered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t every Roaring Beast supposed to be at least a Saint Sovereign? How can he only be at the fifth stage of the Grand Emperor Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There must be more to the story,” another murmured. “Otherwise, why would such a creature leave the Azure Mystic Heaven to walk among us mortals?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-06T01:07:10.116Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c310da7135873ac56b8d856f69af3fd5c82b5c86bbeee06e366e336aadc6ed1","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1145","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1143",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
