But its predecessor, the Abyssal Dragon Clan, was once a tribe that ruled the Primordial Heartlands for an exceptionally long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clan produced three Grand Emperors in succession, with each generation inheriting the mantle of Heaven’s Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beginning with the founding Abyssal Dragon Emperor, the clan’s glory spanned three eras, each leader carrying the divine fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, their power was unmatched. No one could rival them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They revered Dragon Gods, even adopting dragons as their totem. Their very surname was \"Long\", meaning \"dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the Abyssal Dragon Clan founded a nation by performing a heavenly ritual on their ancestral lands and named it the Abyssal Dragon Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how the empire got its name and origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the legacy of three Grand Emperors, they quickly became the strongest nation in the Holyflower Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many sects in the surrounding area pledged themselves as vassals, seeking protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo listened to the chatter around him, he realized that everyone present was simply here to watch the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, he walked over and asked someone what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that Azure Mountain had an inner disciple named Xiao Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a training mission, Xiao Teng had unintentionally saved a young woman. The two later traveled together, and through various shared experiences, fell in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman’s true identity was astonishing, she was the Saintess of High Heaven Cloud Palace, an Imperial Lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, she was already engaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fiancé? None other than Long Yang, Crown Prince of the Abyssal Dragon Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saintess had no affection for Long Yang and eloped with Xiao Teng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This not only enraged High Heaven Cloud Palace but also greatly humiliated the Abyssal Dragon Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Long Yang vowed to annihilate the entire Azure Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day of reckoning, and people from all walks of life had come to spectate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo wasn’t one to enjoy drama and was about to leave when a sudden dragon’s roar echoed in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s here!” someone in the crowd shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their gaze to the northern sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a majestic dragon horse pulled a luxurious carriage through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon horse was snow-white, with a single horn on its forehead, an exceptionally rare breed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it galloped across the sky, it left behind a trail of rainbow light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roars echoed endlessly across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a group of people emerged from the otherwise empty Azure Mountain entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in solemn formation, all dressed in green robes, with long blue swords hanging at their waists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon horse stopped at the gate of Azure Mountain. Its snow-white hooves cracked the earth with deep fissures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curtain of the carriage was drawn aside, and out stepped a young man in a golden robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He climbed down, gently stroked the dragon horse’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon horse neighed once more and then took to the sky, galloping off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man stood tall, his golden robe embroidered with coiling flood dragons, their fierce claws seemingly ready to leap from the fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a firm face, thick eyebrows, and a curved blade strapped to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abyssal Dragon Prince, this matter has nothing to do with our Azure Mountain,” said Sect Master He Huazhang calmly. “Why drag innocents into your personal feud?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand over Xiao Teng, and I’ll spare your sect,” Long Yang said coldly, his black eyes filled with battle intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t know where he is,” He Huazhang replied quickly. “He hasn’t returned in a long time, and we’ve lost all contact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone has to pay the price,” Long Yang said flatly. “Destroying Azure Mountain is only the first step. I’ll make him suffer slowly, until he feels complete despair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go too far?!” He Huazhang narrowed his eyes. “The world praises your talent, but to me, you’re just a spoiled second-generation elite riding on your family’s coattails.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relying on my family?” Long Yang chuckled. “You really think too highly of yourselves. I alone am enough to wipe out your entire Azure Mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How arrogant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outrageous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s too full of himself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Mountain elders couldn't hold back anymore. Though not a top-tier sect, Azure Mountain was their home, a place they poured their life’s work into. Hearing it dismissed as worthless infuriated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems you still haven’t realized your place,” Long Yang said coldly. “The weak should act like the weak: either crawl and survive or die quietly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly unsheathed the curved blade from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, blade aura surged across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sea of blades spread behind him like a purgatory of killing intent. The aura of a peak Paragon Meridian Realm expert rippled through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down the blade’s edge, Long Yang let loose a burst of blade energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful blade intent roared through the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My blade exists to cut down all who stand in my path to becoming Grand Emperor. For you ants to die beneath it, it’s an insult to the blade.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a shout, Long Yang’s body surged with killing intent, and he charged straight into Azure Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I turned my back and walked away, picking up three bone blades. From then on, the world was split in two beneath my feet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a famous quote from Grand Emperor San Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, slaughter erupted within Azure Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Long Yang was only at the peak of the Paragon Meridian realm, Azure Mountain’s strongest was at best the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had anticipated this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had traps, multiple Paragon Meridian experts, and hundreds of disciples. Even with sheer numbers, they could drown an expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had forgotten: this world has monsters called geniuses. Or worse, monsters called prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Azure Mountain is doomed,” a bystander sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Prince of Abyssal Dragon Empire ranks eighth on the Holyflower Tyrant Ranking, and his power is already this overwhelming… What about those ranked even higher?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re old. It’s a young man’s world now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo ignored the muttering spectators. He simply watched the slaughter indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was high in the sky, no clouds, no rain, yet within Azure Mountain, a storm of blood raged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses piled like mountains, and once the sect’s leadership was wiped out, the remaining disciples were like headless ants, left to be slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the cries for mercy and screams of pain faded into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched in horror as the Abyssal Dragon Prince, drenched in blood, walked slowly out of the Azure Mountain’s gates.\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","5601951fa4f60a8c7d9cbfc13e442f589c57bd80994475fd328d1ad63a12cf58","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-276","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-274",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
