Why ruin my plans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost,” Xu Zimo shouted, his voice like thunder, and kicked the fat man away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man’s strength lay only in his physical body and his immortality sustained by corpse mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never learned divine abilities or immortal arts, nor did he have much combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, he was nothing but a brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only act arrogantly because he was strong and hard to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were outside, Xu Zimo would not even mind taking the time to cut him down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one kick, Xu Zimo sent him flying. Shadow Tyrant followed, slashing straight across the fat man’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man’s head was severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless. As corpse mist surged, a second head grew back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo saw clearly, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fat man was not truly a living being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was merely a shell, something that had evolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His true core lay in a single breath within his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That breath was the Upper Corpse, or more precisely, Upper Corpse Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Ruhu fused with the corpse bones, the process should have been unbearably painful. Yet Lin Ruhu had no awareness and no concept of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, that was a blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been conscious, the agony alone might have killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse bones were enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After merging into Lin Ruhu’s body, they even pierced through his flesh, leaving him drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you’ll be the first,” Xu Zimo said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the fat man and struck out with a single punch, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A near-infinite number of Power Vortexes spun wildly within Xu Zimo’s body. Even he no longer knew how many he had condensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he unleashed both the Heaven-Earth Dharma Codex and the God-Devil Creation Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since stepping into the Infinite Dao realm, these ten God-Scriptures had grown increasingly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they were called God-Scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he was still a Saint Sovereign, he clearly had not fully brought out their true power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no fancy techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing but a brutal, head-on clash of bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this unfathomably deep cave now showed signs of being completely pierced through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo raised his head and let the fat man’s massive club crash down, shattering his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In exchange, he fought with a life-for-life resolve and smashed the fat man’s head apart with a single punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not give the fat man any chance to regenerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Xu Zimo grabbed the remaining body and sliced it apart with Shadow Tyrant using sheer force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man was split in two, as if carved apart. From his body escaped a mass of mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mist roared, trying desperately to absorb corpse mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he would let that happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade light of Shadow Tyrant fell again and again, continuously slashing apart the corpse mist and denying it any chance of revival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me push him into Ruhu’s body,” Xu Zimo said, looking at Paimon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Paimon had also entered the Infinite Dao realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such strength, he was no weakling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, Xu Zimo and Paimon shattered the mass of corpse mist while forcing it into Lin Ruhu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, don’t! Stop!” the fat man’s voice could still be faintly heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me one more chance. Just one more chance! I have a lot of information. Don’t you want to know where the other two dried corpses are? If I don’t tell you, you’ll never find them in your lifetime. And the Dominator. The Dominator is an incredibly powerful existence. I have his cultivation methods and many divine techniques. Don’t you want them? I can give you everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat man continued to struggle and roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon glanced at Xu Zimo, seeking his opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ignore him. These Three Corpses are extremely cunning. Who knows if he’s just stalling for time? We’ll secure one first. The rest can wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, corpse mist erupted violently throughout the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tidal wave of power blasted through the entire Three Corpse Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the cave, but the entire Three Corpse Burial Ground was shaken as a pillar of corpse mist shot straight into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming corpse mist spread like a storm, sweeping across everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Three Corpse City, in the direction of the Middle Corpse Palace, the man in green robes who had previously confronted Xu Zimo slowly raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpse mist also churned within his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a huge commotion? Interesting. Very interesting. I thought I would have to make a move myself. It seems that won’t be necessary now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, tapping lightly on his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, someone walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the mass of mist was completely fused into Lin Ruhu’s body, the fat man’s presence vanished abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ruhu suddenly opened his eyes. A powerful force surged and echoed within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse bones that had merged with him now radiated an astonishing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo found that aura impossible to describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing more than a set of corpse bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones that had endured countless years, left behind since the Ancient Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this moment, they suppressed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Infinite Dao powerhouses like Xu Zimo and Paimon could not stand steady. One after another, they were forced to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of existence did these corpse bones belong to?” Paimon asked in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it that strong?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not have a precise sense of what “strong” truly meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Blossoms or Three Selves?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen the True Martial Progenitor before, but based on this pressure alone, even the True Martial Progenitor seemed inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo did not know whether that was merely his imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, among everyone I’ve ever seen, aside from the previous Infernal Lord, I’ve never felt pressure like this,” Paimon said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was pure pressure, the suppression of the weak by the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon was someone who had seen the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded and smiled. “The Dominator. This world really does hide dragons and crouching tigers. It seems there’s still much we don’t understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about him?” Paimon asked, looking at Lin Ruhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lin Ruhu had absorbed the fat man’s corpse mist, it did not mean much by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Grand Sun Dao Lord, only by absorbing all three types of corpse mist, upper, middle, and lower, could he possibly awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even gain the strength of all three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the exact outcome, Xu Zimo planned to have the True Martial Progenitor take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head ached slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he raised his head and said coldly, “I may know where the Middle Corpse Mist is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Xu Zimo said, sending Paimon back into the God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, from the direction of Jade Court, the Ancient Heaven Dao Lord arrived as well, bringing Ye Qingcheng with him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-06T01:07:29.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","23971cf408a2f89c807b6bbae20a69ac5a8eeba5db684c046586c28cd6cb0e84","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1758","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1756",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
