On both sides of the city gate stood two enormous mechanical beasts, the guardian constructs of Ancient Moon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, the sun shone bright, the wind was gentle, and the people went about their daily routines as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the ground began to tremble. A deep rumbling sound echoed from the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards on the city wall looked westward, and there, a colossal shadow emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monstrous figure of Chaos appeared, radiating an overwhelming aura of ascension that churned across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, what is that!?” someone shouted in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A beast attack! Prepare for battle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick! Activate the guardian beasts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the group of adventurers reached the city gates, Ancient Moon City was already under full alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the gates! Let us in!” they cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you bring that beast here!?” a voice thundered from atop the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just open the gate first! We’ll explain once we’re inside!” the adventurers pleaded anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned to look behind them, Chaos’s immense form was already closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Your identities are unknown, you can’t be allowed in,” the guard on the wall refused coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll deal with the beast first, then arrest and question you afterward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, Chaos’s towering figure arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adventurers cowered in terror by the base of the gate, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos was nearly as tall as the entire city wall. Its massive head spewed waves of heat like fire as it glared down at Ancient Moon City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two mechanical guardian beasts roared and lunged forward to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos raised its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two effortless strikes, it smashed both guardians deep into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible! What kind of monster is that!?” someone shouted in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold the gate!” roared the City Lord, the first to regain composure. He began issuing commands, rallying everyone to defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Moon City was the largest human settlement in the Western Mountains, home to many cultivators, including powerful recluses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos extended its right claw and slammed it down on the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact nearly toppled the structure, leaving a massive cratered claw mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless attacks rained down like a storm of arrows and energy blasts, but Chaos didn’t even flinch. It merely tilted its head and let out a thunderous roar, instantly stirring violent winds and lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me handle this!” a voice shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man stepped forward, hands crackling with thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a black-and-white robe, his arms skeletal, his face thin and dry as old wood, yet his aura was fierce and boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder Palm Zhou Mo!” someone exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Mo once hunted down the Four Great Fiends, his lightning stretched over three thousand miles and struck them all dead! If anyone can deal with this, it’s him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mo stepped into the air, locking onto Chaos’s eyes. His right hand surged with violet lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” he shouted, hurling a torrent of thunder straight into Chaos’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning exploded before the beast’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes were the weakest part of any living creature, that was Zhou Mo’s reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chaos didn’t even blink. It stood still, unbothered as the lightning burst against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the thin, translucent wings on its back stirred gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single flap released a gust so powerful that it sent Zhou Mo hurtling through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wh-what…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone inside the city looked at one another, frozen in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos resumed its assault on the wall. Panic spread within Ancient Moon City; even its steellike defenses wouldn’t hold much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, a brilliant sword light cut across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword aura split the heavens in half, cleaving through the firmament and striking Chaos squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion of sword energy echoed across the land, leaving its mark upon the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light faded, all eyes turned upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the distant horizon, dozens of figures soared forth on flying swords, each robed in white, their sword intent interwoven like a storm, their bearing noble and ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the people of Sword Heaven!” someone cried out from the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re saved! Sword Heaven is the strongest sect in the Western Mountains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Sword Sovereign, Yin Ruochu, is one of the six greatest masters of our age, the legendary Six Sovereigns!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! The Six Sovereigns are the mightiest of all, each one at the peak of the God Meridian Realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement rippled through the crowd as hope returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Heaven cultivators descended, swords gleaming. At their head stood Yin Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a sword robe woven with yin and yang, his long black hair streaked with white, falling neatly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword beneath his feet glowed with black and white light, like a living Yin-Yang symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved through the air in flashes of light, waves of sword energy stirring the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Master Yin of Sword Heaven!” the people of Ancient Moon City bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six Sovereigns were living legends, reverence for them was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Ruochu gestured for them to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sword Heaven disciple stepped forward, pointing his sword at Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beast! You stand before disciples of Sword Heaven! Name yourself! Why do you invade Ancient Moon City!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos lifted its head, eyes burning with thunder, and let out a low laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not here to conquer a single city,” it said. “I’m here to rule the entire world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant cur!” the disciple snapped, raising his sword to strike, but Yin Ruochu raised a hand to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ming’er, stand down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Ruochu’s gaze darkened as he studied Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure emanating from the beast was immense, waves of power that battered the air like crashing tides, shaking the very void around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That force carried the unmistakable weight of immortal might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within its form, power gathered and flowed like a complete world unto itself, simple, yet infinite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yin Ruochu, who had seen much in his long life, could not discern the creature’s origin or true cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was clear, the pressure it exuded surpassed even that of his fellow Sovereigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which ancient beast are you?” Yin Ruochu asked solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had traversed half the God World but had never encountered such a being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for talk,” Chaos said coldly. “Today, Ancient Moon City will fall. From here, the entire God World will burn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke, Chaos roared, bolts of thunder erupted from its jaws, lashing toward Yin Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword, come!” Yin Ruochu commanded softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tide of sword intent flooded the sky, shattering the thunder into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his sword and turned to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stand back. This battle is mine alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples hesitated briefly, then obeyed, retreating behind the walls of Ancient Moon City.\u003C\u002Fp>",1167,"2026-06-06T01:07:11.738Z",1,"novelbin.me","642f51d8dfaa714218c29bdbae2f4bb1a214f1bde5aa6192e0c43ad532a4e14a","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1173","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1171",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
