Their boundless aura surged like a storm tide across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them were Immortal Sovereigns, two were in the Arcane Immortal Realm, and the one in the center radiated an even greater presence, an Undying Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, my lord,” the five said, bowing slightly as Xu Zimo appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These five were from the Divine Gate, personally summoned by Xu Zimo from the Elden Lands through the favor of the God Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though with Paimon by his side, Xu Zimo hadn’t feared the Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground, he didn’t want to waste time. Since his goal was to exterminate them, he might as well crush it with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t let these five reveal themselves earlier for fear of alerting the enemy, he wanted them to stay and fight, not flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with all five Immortals revealed, both Ancestor Absolute Dao and Ancestor Heaven-Breaker turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who… are you really?” Heaven-Breaker asked, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The man here to destroy your lineage.

The firmament shattered under their sheer might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five Immortals descended like divine comets, stepping through and annihilating space as they charged directly into the Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate the grand protective array!” Heaven-Breaker roared, then leapt into battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute Dao narrowed his eyes and unsheathed a three-foot-long sword from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nine-foot beam of radiant sword light shot from the blade, slicing through half the sky as it fell from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, too, charged forward in rage, blade in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven combatants clashed in midair, shaking the heavens and darkening the earth. Storms of energy roared across the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions echoed for hundreds of miles around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those unaware of the full situation looked up and saw the sky itself cracked like a giant spiderweb, as if the heavens were about to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder boomed like it was detonating inside their skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magnitude of the battle was visible even from afar, it was clearly a brutal war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was that the center of the battlefield was shrouded in demonic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could see what was happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with five Immortals from the Elden Lands, they couldn't gain the upper hand immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Breaker, with his Zenith Immortal cultivation, was simply too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He alone fought off four Immortals, and still held his ground with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes, watching the tide of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Breaker’s strength had exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It proved the old saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The martial path is hard, as hard as climbing the sky. Every step is a new realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the later stages, even a small difference in realm made a vast difference in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Breaker slammed a palm downward. The space that had just begun to mend was shattered once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back slightly, his immortal aura growing even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Xu Zimo and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can still end this peacefully. If you leave now, we won’t pursue you. What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve got a trump card, use it. I didn’t come here to leave,” Xu Zimo replied, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Breaker’s eyes flashed. From his storage ring, he slowly pulled out a painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned solemn as he carefully unfurled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The painting showed a man, or rather, the back of a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a golden robe and had short hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image radiated an otherworldly, transcendent aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the painting was unveiled, a terrifying Grand Emperor’s Might burst into the sky like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, no matter how strong one’s Immortal power was, they were all suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the Grand Emperor’s presence was the absolute ruler of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky roiled. Grand Emperor’s Might pierced through the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone across the Holyflower Region felt the pressure of that imperial presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It weighed heavily on the hearts of all living beings, triggering flashes of past memories,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of battles waged to ascend to the imperial throne, of corpses paving the road to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the man in the painting seemed to come alive, slowly turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavens shattered, storms howled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was clearly drawn, but somehow cloaked in mist. No one could make it out clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was bizarre, impossible to grasp or describe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the portrait of our Founder!” the elders of the Heaven-Severing Sacred Ground exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all dropped to their knees and shouted the name of Grand Emperor Jue Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before ascending, our Founder painted this self-portrait himself and gave it to Ancestor Heaven-Breaker.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elder who knew the backstory whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Founder is wise and holy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the figure in the painting turned, a massive hand emerged from the canvas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shattered space with ease, pressing down toward the five Immortals of the Divine Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick, the heavens changed, an ancient, boundless force rippled through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Half the sky collapsed. The five Immortals were flung away violently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All injured from just one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hand struck, a crack appeared in the painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the hand reached out again, aiming to suppress them once more, another crack split across the artwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes and said coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Grand Emperor Jue Tian really did pull out all the stops. He actually left behind a trace of his true soul in this painting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before his soul shatters, it’s enough to suppress you,” Heaven-Breaker said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case,” Xu Zimo replied calmly, “Let’s finish this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven-Breaker was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Xu Zimo with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","307a443365e4c1958691ef47491a0a147c331adc38127bec5a9258f9cc47486f","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-285","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-283",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
