The spear in his hand radiated a sky-piercing spear intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson aura surged around the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding space first cracked, then completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions echoed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be the Seventh Prince’s self-created spear technique,\" some knowledgeable people in the crowd whispered curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s said to be called ‘Heaven-Grasp Spear,’ a move the Seventh Prince developed after grasping the true essence of the Spear Dao and merging it with the Dao of Space,\" someone nearby explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At such a young age, the Seventh Prince already has these accomplishments. He might have a real shot at becoming the next emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, the aura from Ji Jiucheng’s spear was hellish and murderous, so potent it became tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a massive illusory spear materialized, identical in form but far larger in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding space could no longer withstand the spear’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Wenren Jingshi suppressing the area, the space for a hundred miles around would have been obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky above, wind surged and clouds rolled. The crimson energy dyed the spear blood red, looking like it was engulfed in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ji Jiucheng moved, the enormous spear formed from his spear intent followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his spear forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant illusory spear seemed guided by that motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, it shot toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move was incredibly fast, imbued with spatial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without mastery of spatial principles, it would be impossible to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the spear intent was deadly, almost solidified from pure killing will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a breath, the massive spear was in front of Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ji Jiucheng had never expected that one of the ten styles of Xu Zimo’s Demon was the Realm Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move represented the pinnacle of spatial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the space around him distorted, and the spear surged through the void toward his chest, Xu Zimo smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To someone at the peak of the Empyrean Meridian Realm like him, this was child’s play. It didn’t stir the desire to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jiucheng had talent, yes, but he was still just at the Imperial Meridian level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In martial arts, each step in the late stages is like crossing a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap was hard to imagine, impossible to take seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo slowly raised his right hand and gently pinched his fingers together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To many watching, the motion seemed ordinary and unimpressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just like that, he pinched the speeding spear between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between his index and middle finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear, like a raging dragon, roared and thrashed violently, trying to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t move an inch, just smiled at Ji Jiucheng’s stunned face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind from the spear intent fluttered his robe and hair, but he remained still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the spear waned quickly, strong at first, then fading, and finally disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant spear faded away. Xu Zimo stood calmly, having done nothing but pinch with two fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire crowd fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned, especially the younger generation, whose minds were like turbulent waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it?\" someone whispered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was Ji Jiucheng’s technique just weak, or is the opponent too strong?\" another murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the younger ones, even many seasoned experts were shaken, unable to snap out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew how strong Heaven-Grasp Spear was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to stop it so casually with two fingers, none of them could do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Tranquil Prince recovered and smiled as he looked at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting. Very interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, Father?\" his son Yue Chang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world really is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers,\" Yue Yunfei shook his head. \"I misjudged him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the birthday celebrant Wenren Jingshi sat there stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed inwardly: “I’m getting old. My grandson really hid his strength well, what a surprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Wenren Tianming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his plan, Tianming had the best temperament and talent of this generation, clearly the best hope for Heaven’s Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even against Ji Jiucheng, he had confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, who knew what kind of impact this would have on Tianming’s Dao Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Zimo,” Emperor Ji Yunzou muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered this name being mentioned when the Yellow Division reported recently, with high praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t had time to look into it, and now they met like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lost,” Ji Jiucheng said, staring solemnly and warily at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and said heavily, “I said I’d only use one spear. I lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to end it like that. I know you’re not satisfied,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head casually. “Use whatever technique you want. To me, one spear or a million makes no difference.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jiucheng’s eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his spear tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t care too much about fame or glory, he was still the Seventh Prince of the Phoenix Perch Empire, renowned across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s words clearly showed he didn’t take him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura surged again. He clearly wanted to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ji Yunzou’s voice came from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiucheng, step down. You’re not on the same level. Even a hundred more fights won’t change the outcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father...” Ji Jiucheng paused, reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to humiliate yourself?” Ji Yunzou frowned. “You represent the royal dignity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Ji Jiucheng could only nod helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his spear and walked slowly off the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it?” Xu Zimo said with some boredom. “I was hoping to return the courtesy, take your spear and give you a punch.”\u003C\u002Fp>",949,"2026-06-06T01:06:40.721Z",1,"novelbin.me","165d9cd3f7c4a447d7db8d3066a2af0a3dc49fb618749d32a1d9fc0b8bc810c5","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-460","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-458",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
