Ye Feiyang couldn’t sense his cultivation level at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, dawn had started to break. A pale light spread across the eastern horizon, casting the first rays of sunlight onto the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Water Fort activated its formations, and the floating sea homes slowly began drifting again, starting a new journey back toward the Eastern Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for Xu Zimo and the others to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he watched the silhouette of the sea dwellings gradually fade, Xu Zimo knew these people would continue traveling the Endless Sky Sea for the rest of their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, perhaps only one in ten would survive, and only after completing the full circle around the Primordial Heartlands would their journey be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you take us to the Blood Race now?” Xu Zimo asked Shi Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stick close to me. Although the Blood Race resides within the Nether Blood Sea, even we don’t dare go too deep,” Shi Yan warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group boarded a ship and, under Shi Yan’s guidance, sailed north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about half an hour of travel, the ship stopped in a quiet section of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked around but didn’t notice anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shi Yan began forming hand seals, some ancient and complex gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his hands moved, ripples spread across the surface of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean began to churn violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Water Drawing Technique,” Xu Zimo muttered. “The Blood Race really does know how to hide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the churning intensified, the innermost layer of water revealed itself, blood red in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like actual blood, emitting a strong stench of rot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood felt sinister, evil, and violent, as if it carried all the world’s filth within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick and sticky, it flowed ominously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the entrance to the Nether Blood Sea?” the Divine Emperor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many entrances. This is just one of them,” Shi Yan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the blood sea was revealed, the surface roiled, and strange howling echoed from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The blood sea is corrosive. Stay close,” Shi Yan reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand again, and the seal he had just formed enlarged dozens of times in the air and extended into the blood sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned into a stream of light that briefly parted the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three followed Shi Yan and jumped into the sea. The glowing seal wrapped around them, shielding them from the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Xu Zimo’s surprise, the thick blood surrounding them was completely blocked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Blood Race had studied this sea for generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their vision was heavily impaired by the deep red waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Xu Zimo could faintly make out the surroundings. There were many strange creatures living in this blood sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Octo-snakes, blood turtles, and swarms of killing fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All filthy beasts that fed on corpses and rot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These creatures didn’t attack them, likely used to their presence. They swam by without fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Shi Yan’s lead, they headed north, and soon buildings began to appear in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive structures, sharp mountain peaks that pierced the deep sea like giant swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were giants chained to the seabed, pushing mountains as they trudged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were fountains of blood erupting into the sea, where countless Blood Race members sat, meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Blood Sea stretched endlessly, and the Blood Race’s territory was just as vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take you to the Divine Blood Lineage first, then we’ll plan the rest,” Shi Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like your Blood Race has grown quite a bit,” Xu Zimo said with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we first arrived here, we clung to a small corner. But once we adapted to the environment, we kept expanding,” Shi Yan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, they followed Shi Yan to the base of a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Shi Yan, none of the Blood Race members along the way noticed anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as humans struggle to identify Blood Race in disguise, the Blood Race likewise can't easily recognize humans, unless someone enters battle mode, revealing their true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain they approached looked ancient. Its cliffs were steep, and the rocky slopes were jagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Signs of a great battle scarred the area, and the mountain seemed ready to collapse at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the fall of our Divine Blood Lineage, most of our territory was taken by the other two lineages,” Shi Yan said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All that’s left is this abandoned mountain, where the few of us remaining survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four climbed the mountain, and with their cultivation, it only took a few minutes to reach mid-slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area felt desolate, no one in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chun’er, where are you?” Shi Yan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a group of children came running out from the rock walls on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were dozens of them. Their faces were pale and thin, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They called out “Brother Shi Yan” with joy, but their eyes quickly turned wary as they spotted Xu Zimo and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And these are?” Ye Feiyang asked grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re the children who survived the battle. They didn’t fight back then, they’re the descendants left behind,” Shi Yan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The elders really disappointed me,” Ye Feiyang said. “No matter what, they’re still part of the same race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if they are? Humans fight among themselves far more cruelly than we do. These kids are lucky to be alive,” Shi Yan replied with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have come to terms with it. Complaining wouldn't help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling the children, the group gathered in a hidden cave along the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly are you here for?” Shi Yan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Myriad Dao Red Lotus,” the Divine Emperor said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got quite the appetite. That’s our race’s sacred treasure,” Shi Yan said, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a fragment of the Myriad Dao Lotus. That counts as a sacred treasure?” Xu Zimo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the Azure Lotus of the True Martial Sacred Ground, it was placed in the Sword-Washing Pool, nothing too important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know where we are?” Shi Yan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Nether Blood Sea,” the God Emperor replied with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… the Nether Blood Sea… the Myriad Dao Red Lotus…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the look on the God Emperor’s face, Shi Yan chuckled, “You get it now, don’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder you all came to the Nether Blood Sea. Everyone thought you were afraid of Sword God Sacred Ground,” Xu Zimo said with sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turns out you had a bigger plan all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","5d2b6c05b0f5706c773e7b31006d46e6851d8aab205f0fd17e572f9fd3a600c3","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-531","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-529",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
