You few aren’t even enough to warm up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, the Paragon Dragon Sovereign let out a heavy snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, unwilling to concede defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive dragon surged from his body, tearing through the void as it advanced. Everything in its path crumbled. Dragon might rumbled across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its momentum swept through the world like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo raised his head to look at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a simple wave of his hand, he grabbed the dragon out of the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon roared in fury, thrashing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless.

He looked up at Xu Zimo, his expression now far more grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Still unwilling to summon your ancestor?” Xu Zimo asked. “Otherwise, today all of you will be buried here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paragon Dragon Sovereign snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swept his arm outward, unleashing a tremendous aura. Centered on him, a vast and majestic force surged into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A circular formation had appeared beneath the Paragon Dragon Sovereign’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the formation, more than a dozen divine dragons swam through its patterns. Their auras were overwhelming, their dragon might vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no simple formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enormous, based on the entire imperial palace. The palace itself had been embedded into the formation’s structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Ancient Dragon God-Empire had prepared well. They had long anticipated the arrival of powerful enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paragon Dragon Sovereign said, “This formation was given to us by the Gongshu God-Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Xu Zimo’s strength was at least that of a Grand Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why he was so confident that the formation could trap him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dragon God Extinction Formation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted both hands, releasing a surge of boundless power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine dragons within the formation rose into the sky, transforming into actual corporeal dragons of flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re real dragons,” the Willow Ancestor said gravely after studying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said the Ancient Dragon God-Empire is allied with the Azure Green Dragon Race… perhaps even merged with them. Judging from this, the rumors were true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax,” Xu Zimo said, waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t worried at all. He simply let the formation activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked apart under its terrifying force. The entire palace trembled as if it could no longer withstand the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient buildings collapsed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine dragons gathered in the heavens, forming a Nine-Dragon Ascension pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then each dragon transformed into a colossal torrent of power. These torrents roared with the profundities of different elemental Daos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not mere Dao comprehension, Grand Emperor–level Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Paragon Dragon Sovereign was so confident. With the formation’s might, trapping a Grand Emperor truly wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the torrents descended, they merged together, forming a single world-shattering force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind ripped through everyone’s hair like blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly, then threw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch looked plain, nothing flashy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment it landed, the void shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single punch swallowed all torrents and shot upward like a pillar piercing the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its momentum didn’t lessen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It punched through the sky, opening a massive vortex in the broken void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the punch dissipated, the entire sky fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is far too strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he really a Grand Emperor?” someone murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He doesn’t look like one…” another person whispered before sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo slowly lifted his head and looked at the stunned Paragon Dragon Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… I told you. Call your ancestor. Otherwise you’re all getting swept aside today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is calling for this old man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice wasn’t loud, yet it resonated inside every person’s mind, making their hearts tremble uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the Ancient Dragon God-Empire’s ancestor arrived?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as someone asked, an elderly figure walked through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming aura swirled around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only one meter tall, short, almost comically so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance was peculiar enough to resemble a clown: hair curled as though permed, a high nose bridge, and narrow, squinted eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, someone immediately recognized him and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Martial Peak Ancestor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His distinct appearance made him instantly identifiable to many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Martial Peak Ancestor isn’t actually the kingdom’s own ancestor, he’s the one they worship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even so, he should still be a Grand Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The question is… which level of Grand Emperor is he now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People whispered among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his appearance undeniably raised morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Martial Peak Ancestor looked at Xu Zimo. Behind him, a massive phantom flickered, like a mountain lifting the heavens themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said calmly, “Who dares cause trouble in my Ancient Dragon God-Empire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo glanced at him and shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the entire sky seemed to focus on that single fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T01:07:26.019Z",1,"novelbin.me","b55afc0f41702772fdb30147a2bb04bf8b34d7bd57f7a3200893059a26723fbe","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1589","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1587",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
