Apart from our charm techniques, we Northern Hills also excel in the Dao of Karma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never heard of that,” Xu Zimo said with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a secret art. There’s no need to publicize it,” Ji Jiuning replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My cultivation isn’t high enough to directly divine the one tied to our cause. But if I see them and you kill them, I can use the death energy they release to trace who bears karmic ties to my clan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao of Karma was no trivial thing, at its core, it meddled with the secrets of heaven. Ordinary people could not use it lightly; it could shorten one’s life, even bring death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jiuning’s determination showed she cared nothing for her own safety if it meant finding her clan’s murderer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only take you this far,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Abyssal Tyrant likely came for me. I’ve no intention of clashing with him right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For you?” Ji Jiuning frowned. “You have no grudge with him. Could it be because you entered the Demonic Tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, I’m leaving. Do as you will,” Xu Zimo said, unwilling to explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How will you leave? Once you enter this Battleground, you can’t just walk away,” Ji Jiuning said again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only by killing everyone else and being the last survivor can one leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smiled faintly and looked toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two have been watching for quite a while. Are you not going to show yourselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice chuckled in reply. “I prided myself on my concealment. How did Young Master Xu see through me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples appeared in the void as a scholar in a Confucian robe and a child stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to tell you that,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Lu Sheng had secretly told him he was being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t matter, Xu Zimo knew the scholar could see through everything that happened here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the White Emperor left, he had become this place’s master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to leave this realm,” Xu Zimo said plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What of the Saint Sovereign beside you?” the scholar asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo knew he meant the Red-Blade Bull Demon, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “Either send me out, or I’ll break this particle world myself. Your choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The White Emperor’s world is not so easily broken,” the child snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the scholar stopped him with a wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can send you out, but remember this, Xu Zimo,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are not your eternal enemies. In this world, even enemies can become allies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about the Abyssal Tyrant?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cannot tell you,” the scholar shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, the entire world rippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them, a massive vortex opened, sucking in everything around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirty seconds. Leave quickly,” the scholar said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coming?” Xu Zimo asked Ji Jiuning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated only for a second before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the few remaining participants, she couldn’t possibly stand alone. Without Xu Zimo, she had no chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped into the vortex together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their figures vanished and the vortex dissipated, the child frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Abyssal Tyrant’s rebirth was meant to kill him. Why let him go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to be someone else’s dog forever?” the scholar asked, turning to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only fear the White Emperor,” the child said uneasily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just trust the White Emperor,” the scholar replied simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t change the grand design, but we can still do what we can within it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Zimo reappeared, he was already back at the White Emperor’s Mausoleum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, everyone’s eyes turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re out?” Chu Feiyang asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wasn’t it still going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I withdrew,” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the Seven Gods Collegium breeds cowards,” the abbot of the Desolate Temple sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Afraid before the fight even began. The Seven Gods Collegium really is declining,” said the Chancellor of Martial Blade Collegium with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wanted to mock Xu Zimo, after all, he had killed Heaven-Mammoth and Seven Kills from the Ghost God Collegium, making him the biggest threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Abyssal Tyrant has appeared,” said Jiang Mozi, who had remained silent until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd turned their gaze toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hell Sea boiled over completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-red waves erupted violently as the endless sea of blood churned. Around it stood Wrathful Emperor, Grand Emperor Hidden Sky, and the Crimson Soaring Emperor, all walking on air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s stop fighting for now and see what this anomaly is,” Grand Emperor Hidden Sky said first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them knew about the Abyssal Tyrant’s awakening, so they didn’t understand what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just some insignificant creature,” Crimson Soaring Emperor scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew the Crimson Soaring Emperor Bow, nocked seven arrows at once, and loosed them like the seven stars chasing the sun, each arrow tearing through space toward the blood sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explode,” he commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no explosion. The blood sea remained eerily still, like a dead ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson Soaring Emperor’s expression changed. His link to the seven arrows had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mere insect dares to attack this king?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive hand suddenly reached out from the blood sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Crimson Soaring Emperor could even react, the overwhelming pressure crushed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was caught midair, unable to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save-” he tried to speak, but before the word left his lips, the hand squeezed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was annihilated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grand Emperor, killed as easily as that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two remaining emperors froze in horror, cold sweat dripping down their backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!” Grand Emperor Hidden Sky shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fled in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’ve come, you may as well serve as witnesses to my rebirth,” the voice from the blood sea laughed grotesquely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two colossal hands reached out again, grabbing toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces twisted in dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buddha is the natural way!” Grand Emperor Hidden Sky roared, golden clouds of Dao energy surging behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true fate manifested, power flooding from his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrathful Bodhisattva Descends!” Wrathful Emperor bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wrathful bodhisattva manifested behind him as he merged with it, majestic and furious, divine light flooding the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew they couldn’t escape. Together, they launched an attack that could shatter the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two deafening explosions erupted, and the scene went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-06T01:07:12.426Z",1,"novelbin.me","3afc80283319e5830525ff6c6f5b8bd60c322de2f5dd0702a8f9da3c3ebc4191","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1230","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1228",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
