The three patriarchs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like the Sacred Ground is making a huge sacrifice this time, awakening all three former Sacred Lords from the Dustblood Coffins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this guy anyway?

There's still room to deescalate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo smirked wickedly and tore off the Holy Son's arm with a single motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed through the air as the Holy Son screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute Desolation’s pupils narrowed, and the aura of his God Meridian Realm surged like a roaring river, spreading outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem very confident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm always confident,\" Xu Zimo replied with a casual smile, then proceeded to tear off both of the Holy Son’s legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've got guts. But confidence can turn into arrogance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, the three God Meridian Realm elders charged toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo chuckled softly and waved his right hand. In an instant, the massive figure of Chaos appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around them shattered in layers, and a surge of energy exploded upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that thing?\" someone below exclaimed in shock at the appearance of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a while, one of the prodigies finally spoke: \"It might be a Meridian Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Meridian Beast?\" someone gasped in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve seen beasts from the Wildblood lineage before, but never anything like this, this one must be ancient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many eyes turned to Xu Zimo’s back. It was now shrouded in layers of mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed even more mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to command a God Meridian Realm beast as a Meridian Beast meant his identity was far from ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three old elders also wore solemn expressions as they saw Chaos appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, their True Fates manifested, radiating pressure that seemed to tear the heavens apart as they attacked Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos, with support from Dark River, fought one against three, and held the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill me. Please… just kill me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Son of Heaven-Severing lay next to them, half-dead, drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no arms or legs, he was just a pile of flesh now, begging Xu Zimo for release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush. Just die slowly in agony,\" Xu Zimo said with a smile, turning his gaze toward the teleportation array nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reinforcements were arriving. Xu Zimo’s aura surged. Lifting the Shadow Tyrant above his head, he slashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud “boom,” the teleportation array shattered completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, the fight had grown brutally intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos was fighting recklessly, trading blows without fear of injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to its terrifying defense, the three elders were clearly on the back foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their robes were torn to shreds. Under Chaos’ relentless assault, they were already struggling to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolute Desolation, this is turning into a real problem,\" Absolute Scar said with a frown, his face grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll stay behind with Absolute Extinction to hold them off. You go back and report to the Sacred Lord, tell them to prepare early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what about you two?\" Absolute Desolation asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about us. We’ve spent long enough lying in those Dustblood Coffins anyway,\" Absolute Scar replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the aura around him surged dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was burning what little essence blood he had left to power his attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Absolute Extinction shouted as well, lunging at Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Absolute Desolation didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood essence ignited, and a red mist enveloped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fled at a speed so fast the naked eye could barely follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark River wanted to give chase, but Xu Zimo stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. He’s burning his essence. You won’t catch him anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Absolute Desolation gone, the remaining two elders’ defense became even more fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their auras still boomed, and the space around them kept tearing apart and healing itself during the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of spatial turbulence swept through the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the two elders, their True Fates trembled, on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Chaos launched another assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its two wings folded behind it like thin cicada wings. From its abdomen, it unleashed a beam of pure light, its innate divine attack, striking Absolute Scar directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a massive “boom,” Absolute Scar’s True Fate finally shattered completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he plummeted toward the ground, Absolute Extinction let out a wail of grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he felt a sharp pain at his waist, Dark River’s attack had struck him without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the God Meridian Realm, cultivators ignite a God Flame. Death only comes when that flame is fully extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the God Flame exists, even a drop of blood is enough to resurrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the power of this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under Chaos’s unrelenting attacks, Absolute Scar’s God Flame was already on the verge of going out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling through the sky, Absolute Scar felt his strength drain away completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His consciousness grew fuzzy, slipping into the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew, this was the edge of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the God Meridian Realm, it had been a long time since he’d felt this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time… was during his battle with the Sky Vault Emperor for the Heaven's Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had been full of ambition. At that time, he was the Holy Son of the Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been full of potential, a shining star in his era, vying for destiny against a man named Tian Qiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the path to becoming Grand Emperor was brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless prodigies’ bones paved the ground, telling a silent, grim story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was lucky. Though he failed to obtain the Heaven's Will, he survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he became Sacred Lord of the Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground for that generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his lifespan ran out and he still hadn’t stepped into the Immortal Path, he was left with no choice but to enter the Dustblood Coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life had been glorious, but filled with regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as his consciousness dimmed further, Absolute Scar’s God Flame finally flickered out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1125,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","67338bd36066fc7044209f34e1050f77b19974153316cb455c8200d4cff7a879","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-282","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-280",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
