Instantly, ghostly energy surged around him, clashing with Xu Zimo’s blade aura and scattering both into the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Prince looked down, and the entire Demonic Tower seemed to tremble under his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you disturb me?” he hissed, voice thin and sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing here?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s none of your concern,” the Ghost Prince said coolly. “Leave, or die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the word die, an ocean of black mist erupted from his body. Countless screaming ghost heads emerged from it, diving down from the sky like a rain of the damned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo said nothing. The god-blade, Shadow Tyrant, slid from its sheath, gleaming with killing intent, a silent answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Prince sneered, spreading his hands. The demonic air thickened, twisting into legions of spectral skulls that dove toward them, each howling with hunger and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit Fox Realm!” Ji Jiuning called, summoning her white fox, which leapt forward in a streak of silver light, shielding them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tide of demonic energy crashed down, Ji Jiuning coughed up blood from the strain, but she held her ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s all yours,” Xu Zimo said calmly. “I’ll enter the tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s too dangerous,” Ji Jiuning protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not danger, it’s curiosity,” Xu Zimo replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one great swing of Shadow Tyrant, half the sky split apart, the demonic mists burned away. Then he rushed straight into the Demonic Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!” the Ghost Prince screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo heard laughter and weeping echo at his ears, two ghostly infants lunged from the shadows, attacking his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A soul attack?” Xu Zimo sneered. “Begone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Nine-Revolutions God-Tower Physique flared to life, and a surge of power shattered the two spirits into nothingness. He plunged deeper into the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it,” the Ghost Prince cursed, rising to his feet. But before he could act, Ji Jiuning’s massive white fox lunged forward, forcing him into battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Demonic Tower, Xu Zimo had barely entered when a purple mist lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his blade, Boom! The impact hurled him into the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his shoulder, he looked up and saw that the mist had taken shape, a violet sphere with a distorted human face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A perfect body,” it hissed with a grin. “You’ll make a fine vessel for my consciousness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who enter the Demonic Tower meet only death,” it said. “No need to ask about the past.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke, the tower’s massive gate slammed shut behind Xu Zimo, sealing him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s see what death looks like,” Xu Zimo replied, smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Tyrant roared to life, its blade aura shaking the air. Xu Zimo slashed again and again, each cut exploding like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple face screamed as its glow dimmed under the relentless assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t leave here alive!” it howled, retreating deeper into the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zimo’s blade flashed across the void, pinning it against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the sound of clapping echoed through the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A thousand years… and finally, a newcomer,” a deep, mocking voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man stepped out from the shadows, draped in a red-and-yellow fur robe. Though he had a human face, two white tusks jutted from his mouth. His eyes were sunken, his nose sharp and high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him sat a massive stone throne, upon which he lowered himself, smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to the Western Demonic Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to learn something,” Xu Zimo said coldly. “You have two choices, tell me willingly, or I’ll beat it out of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The new generation lacks manners,” the tusked man chuckled, clapping again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tower began to tremble, the walls splitting open. From the cracks crawled beasts of all kinds, Earth-Splitting Tigers, Azure Ice Beasts, Blood Thunder God Pythons, and even Celestial Silkworms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo saw dozens of humanoid monsters gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repeat what you just said,” the tusked man sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smiled. Shadow Tyrant gleamed coldly as he charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill,” the tusked man ordered lazily, leaning back in his seat. Instantly, all the beasts roared and surged toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tower erupted into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, in a stretch of empty void within the battlefield realm…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar in robes and the young boy stepped through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long are we supposed to stay here?” the boy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t ask,” the scholar said, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The White Emperor...” the boy began, but his words cut off abruptly as his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them, a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” the scholar asked, his aura sharpening with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman slowly turned around, it was the Moon-Pluck Fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had vanished along with Miss Jing long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without answering, she produced a jade token and held it up for them to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You... you’re...” the scholar stammered, dropping to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Knowing is enough,” she said coldly. “No need to say it aloud.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was devoid of emotion, crisp and distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to deliver a message,” she continued. “The Demon has awakened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar froze. “What? Awakened? Do you even realize what that means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need your reminder,” she cut him off sharply. “Just obey the order. The rest is not for you to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” the scholar said, bowing low, his face flickering with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked up again, she was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-06-06T01:07:12.426Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f29eea64c9f5fde0b595fcbb16da80e9d7fee1d79ae9b86904c9456d38dfd08","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1226","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1224",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
