Stepping across the broken ground, he advanced slowly, one step at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he neared the sealed tower, the once-turbulent infernal energy suddenly calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became subdued, like servants bowing before their king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after stepping closer did Xu Zimo notice that the entire tower was bound by countless iron chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever the demonic aura surged, those chains would flare with violet light, suppressing everything within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xu Zimo could move further, three figures appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had not materialized out of nowhere, he had sensed them since entering the Ancient Demon Realm, lurking in the shadows, always watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew they were sent by Hellfire Asura to monitor him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had not yet met the Fiend, Xu Zimo knew well that the man cared, cared so much he dared not appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared seeing Xu Zimo. He feared what Xu Zimo’s return would mean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honored guest, this is not a place you should come,” said one of the three figures, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were hideous, not from expression, but from birth itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each wore a great black robe, shaped like a predatory eagle’s cloak, covering their bodies completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the backs of those robes were three blood-red lines, symbols of the Blood Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Demons were the personal guard of Hellfire Asura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo recalled what he had read: another buried chapter of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Demons were once a proud branch of the Ancient Demon Race, powerful and revered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But tens of thousands of years ago, they committed a great sin, one that nearly led to their annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hellfire Asura had spared them from extinction, but ever since, they had vanished from public sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient Demon Race despised them, and they became the his secret guard, confined to forbidden places, never seen by outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the rest of the Ancient Demons, they were like living corpses, dead men bound only to one master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ancient Ancestor sent word, you are not to come here,” said the Blood Demon standing in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And why not?” Xu Zimo asked calmly. “Is there still a place in the Ancient Demon Realm forbidden to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ancient Ancestor says that what lies inside must never be released,” the Blood Demon replied. “The Ancient Demon Realm needs peace. I hope... you understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo laughed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peace, they said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood Hellfire Asura’s fear perfectly. He feared that if the imprisoned Ancient Demons were freed, their hatred accumulated over millions of years would consume the Ancient Demon Realm in ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragile calm of the demonic lands would collapse into chaos and war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell Hellfire Asura,” Xu Zimo said evenly, “these are my people. Whether there is peace or chaos, it is mine alone to command!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Blood Demons exchanged uncertain looks, then shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We follow orders. Nothing more. You cannot step inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you must enter,” said the Blood Demon on the right, “then you’ll have to walk over our corpses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s voice was calm, almost indifferent. “Do you really think I’ve refrained from killing because of mercy? Even if I must tread upon your corpses, why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, the blade spirit behind him unsheathed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling surge of sword intent flooded the sky, slicing through the heavy demonic clouds above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Demon on the left didn’t even have time to react, he was obliterated instantly, leaving not even a scrap of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two stared in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one on the right lunged forward, claws several meters long, fangs bared like a beast, no, worse than a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Demons were among the strongest branches of demonkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They drew power from blood, the more they drank, the stronger they became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To fight a Blood Demon was to fight against time; delay meant death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as this one charged, Xu Zimo didn’t even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely flicked the blade with his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single clang resonated, sharp and pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, one of the Ten Primordial God-Scriptures manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infernal-Creation Eternal-Canon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine art of sound, it did not need instruments. Wherever sound existed, it could weave its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The note from Xu Zimo’s finger exploded through the world like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that resonant wave, the Blood Demon was reduced to ashes, erased completely from existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo lifted his eyes calmly. Only one Blood Demon remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That last one stood frozen, staring at him in mute terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, trembling, he stepped back. “You… what do you intend to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo did not answer. He simply walked forward, slowly, relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every step Xu Zimo took forward, the Blood Demon stepped one back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until there was nowhere left to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t kill me,” the Blood Demon stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo placed a hand lightly on his shoulder. “Among Ancient Demons, we were once kin. Why must it come to this? I remember,” Xu Zimo said softly, “your clan once basked in glory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our ancestor,” the Blood Demon whispered fearfully, “once carried the sedan of a great figure. That’s what I’ve been told.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile. “He carried it well, steady, unshaken, even if the heavens themselves were collapsing. You should not have shamed his name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted the Blood Demon’s shoulder. A wisp of Zhurong’s Fire flared to life, burning the demon into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long sigh escaped Xu Zimo’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and walked toward the great tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the massive iron chains that sealed it, he felt their heat, searing, molten, almost alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They burned at his flesh like magma, but Xu Zimo did not let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held tight, pulling with all his might, intent on tearing them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing his strength, the violet chains began to writhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their light surged, runes flashing wildly across their surface like flickering stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole tower began to quake, earth-shaking, deafening booms echoing one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, the violet light blazed brighter than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-06T01:07:13.939Z",1,"novelbin.me","619ecfab530212bda6d0ed46abb7113edfa4696ac4333bf23cdb0223c5a67965","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1322","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1320",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
