In the void behind him, the War God Sky Shroud sat in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held a fishing rod in his hand, casting it slowly from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a waterfall plunging thousands of feet. At the bottom of the fishing line, a massive river surged in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This river surged upward as if trying to reach the heavens. Countless fish of various colors rushed wildly toward the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just an ordinary fishing rod, yet it stirred up a colossal wave as it descended from the sky. The War God Sky Shroud sat leisurely, appearing relaxed and carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sky Shroud, are you going to fight too?” Elder Chiwu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not enough,” War God Sky Shroud shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, after Ancestor Shen Ri shouldered the Heaven’s Will, he praised you greatly and said you could withstand ten moves from him without defeat,” Elder Chiwu snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we’re in the same realm. I’ve been waiting for this battle a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said you’re not enough,” Sky Shroud repeated, still shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his right hand, and an invisible force spread from his palm. A drop of water surged from the massive river below and landed in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his finger, the water droplet emitted a dazzling light, tearing through space and striking toward Elder Chiwu like a devastating force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chiwu snorted coldly, unleashing his overwhelming immortal might. Boundless spiritforce surged from his right hand as he reached to catch the droplet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang, the droplet pierced through his hand and exploded on the distant horizon, collapsing half the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chiwu stared at the rapidly healing wound in his hand, frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he looked at the relaxed Sky Shroud fishing and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve broken into that level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, I helped that Zhen Wu brat open the Imperial Era. I guess I count as the first battle general of this new era. If I didn’t break through, I probably wouldn’t have lived much longer,” Sky Shroud said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Elder Chiwu fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Emperor Zhen Wu was the first emperor of the Imperial Era, and Sky Shroud was naturally the first war general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have existed far earlier than Elder Chiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the later Desolate Era had already passed without Chiwu experiencing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the others come out too. Otherwise, none of you are leaving today,” Sky Shroud said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, ripples once again appeared in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures tore through space and emerged with powerful auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three figures in total. One wore a blood-red robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was bald but had thick eyebrows, sharp and gloomy eyes resembling those of a hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he appeared, the sound of crashing blood seas echoed around, and the entire sky turned blood red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the ancestor of the Blood Nether Sacred Ground, Blood Ancestor, former war general of Grand Emperor Xue Ming!” someone in the watching crowd shouted excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ancestors usually remained hidden in seclusion, rarely seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s said he took the name ‘Blood’ and followed Grand Emperor Xue Ming through countless hells, forging a road of fate over mountains of corpses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Blood Ancestor, another elder in a black robe stepped out slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was covered in scars, dense, jagged knife scars, leaving no part intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked terrifying, holding an iron chain in his hands. His eyes were blood red, and his long hair was messy and unkempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s…” someone stared at the black-robed elder in shock, “The Purgatory Sacred Ground’s ancestor, the Heaven-Prison Sage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like these imperial lineages really do intend to go to war with the True Martial Sacred Ground. I wonder if War God Sky Shroud can hold them off,” someone said anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not over yet,” another person said, looking toward the Dan Imperial Clan. Another figure emerged from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old man in a sackcloth robe, slightly plump, with a cheerful smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His earlobes were large and thick, and his facial skin was so tightly packed it was hard to see his eyes clearly without looking closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Sage Nine-Pill. Legend says that when the Alchemy Emperor refined pills back then, he specifically had Nine-Pill manage the furnace. In terms of alchemy, he’s among the top five across the Primordial Heartlands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old friends, long time no see,” Nine-Pill said with a warm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to always smile, showing no other emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine-Pill, give me one of your Nine Heaven Pills. I really miss that feeling,” Elder Chiwu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No can do,” Nine-Pill smiled and shook his head. “Unless it’s life or death, I absolutely won’t bring them out. But I do trust in your strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sky Shroud, it may seem unfair for the few of us to fight you alone. But in battle, there’s only victory or defeat, no fairness,” Heaven-Prison Sage said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These old bones of mine should move a little too,” War God Sky Shroud slowly stood up, stepping out from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you’ve reached that level, without opening the tenth meridian gate, you still might not beat us,” Blood Ancestor said deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky Shroud said nothing more. His aura exploded, stretching across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void shattered in front of him, and his pressure grew stronger and stronger, already beginning to overpower the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out with both hands, and a pale blue divine sword, cold as ice, broke through layers of void and flew to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade of the sword was engraved with intricate patterns, now radiating a golden glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky Shroud held the sword and sighed, “Old friend, let’s fight together again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, within the True Martial Sacred Ground, on a mountain hidden in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mountain had never been visited by anyone else in the sect, and most didn’t even know of its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the autumn wind rustled the violet and red flowers on both sides of the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man sat on a huge rock at the top, carefully wiping down a long saber in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were gentle, and with each stroke, the blade looked sharper and sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","560584a04b3c6f7ed0b5cb9b9f9a7ceb3123f74a4b7d4b27e8cfc7bc62610b8c","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-514","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-512",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
