To be precise, it was a semi-complete dimensional realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps to fully unleash the power of the Myriad Dao Red Lotus, it was intentionally left unsealed during its construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by the Third Elder, the group marched grandly toward the forbidden land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate to the forbidden area was massive, a jet-black door etched with countless skulls on either side. It had already been opened, and the scene within glowed a blood-red hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Third Elder led them through the gate, Xu Zimo's view gradually became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above this space was the Nether Blood Sea, a vast ocean of blood. The sky appeared like a crimson dome, separating the sea from the inner space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly ahead stood a wide altar, large enough to accommodate over a hundred people with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The altar resembled a towering structure, shrinking layer by layer until it reached the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Blood Sea cascaded down like a waterfall, pouring directly into the altar shaped like a tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the altar had six levels, and after being infused with the power of the Nether Blood Sea, its surroundings glowed an intense red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Third Elder, the other seven elders of the Blood Race were all seated cross-legged around the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritforce surged around them, and they seemed to be channeling immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Blood Race disciples who had entered earlier were now seated in meditation around the altar, awaiting the baptismal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step forward and find your positions around the altar,\" the Third Elder said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo moved up, he realized that those with a baptism slot were seated closest to the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was a deep crimson, etched with intricate patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he sat down, Xu Zimo felt his blood begin to boil and surge, as if being pulled by an unseen force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roaring sound echoed within his body. His spiritforce condensed into a flowing river, rushing between several meridian gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such powerful energy,\" Xu Zimo muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the Blood Race considered the Myriad Dao Red Lotus a sacred treasure. Paired with the Nether Blood Sea, it was an unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was seated, the Third Elder stepped forward and addressed the gathered youths loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The baptism is a once-in-a-century event for the Blood Race. Though you weren't chosen, you may still benefit from its power. How much you gain depends on your own efforts and fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished, the Third Elder swept his red sleeve, stirring the skies above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I declare the Blood Race's Baptism Ceremony officially begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, all eight elders took their positions. A majestic aura erupted from their bodies and linked together, drawing endless spiritual energy toward the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a beam of red light shot up from the altar, piercing through the barrier and entering the blood sea above. The entire tower-shaped altar turned a deep crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calm waterfall of blood above began to churn violently. The blood sea surged into a massive blood dragon, accompanied by thunderous booms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon tore through the barrier and plunged into the altar below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roars erupted from the dragon as the altar began to tremble, struggling to contain the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summon the Red Lotus!\" the Grand Elder roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight elders simultaneously formed hand seals, their fingers moving faster and faster. A profound and mysterious energy gathered in their palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the altar was about to collapse, a loud shout rang out as the eight seals were completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They appeared in the air, magnified dozens of times, projecting onto the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another thunderous boom shook the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rift opened in the space ahead, and a blood-red lotus slowly floated out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus resembled others Xu Zimo had seen before, except for its distinct hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had eight petals, eerie and crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suppress it!\" the Grand Elder bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight elders worked together to direct the lotus toward the blood dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Myriad Dao Red Lotus exuded supreme might. As soon as it touched the blood dragon, the beast howled in distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tried to flee, to break through the seal and return to the Nether Blood Sea, but the lotus suppressed it steadily, channeling its energy through the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dragon’s power was absorbed, countless miniature lotus flowers emerged from the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These lotuses, like smaller versions of the Myriad Dao Red Lotus, flooded out as the dragon writhed and struggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xu Zimo came into contact with a lotus, he felt a surge of powerful energy coursing through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This energy even seemed to attempt to alter his internal structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the so-called baptism,\" Xu Zimo muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more lotuses one absorbed, the greater the power received.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the lotuses emanated from the altar, those seated closest, like Xu Zimo, absorbed the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone scrambled to absorb the lotuses. The first wave of candidates took in the majority, with only a few drifting outward to the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Zimo chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a quick signal to the Divine Emperor and the others, then suddenly leapt into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soared straight toward the Myriad Dao Red Lotus above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden movement immediately caught the attention of the eight elders, who had already been monitoring the sacred lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone's trying to steal the Red Lotus!\" the Second Elder shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop him!\" the eight elders launched into the air simultaneously, charging at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples below, who had been absorbing the lotus energy, stopped and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the eight elders, the Grand Elder and Second Elder had already reached the Immortal Path, so their speed was naturally far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, they reached Xu Zimo and struck out with immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did an outsider get into the forbidden area?\" the Fifth Elder growled behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he was one of the core disciples closest to the altar, what kind of selection process was this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was that boy recommended by the Divine Blood Lineage,\" the Third Elder said with an ugly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Divine Blood Lineage? What are they trying to do?\" the Fifth Elder exclaimed in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Grand and Second Elders attacked together, Xu Zimo snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without slowing down, he took the blow head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined strike of two Immortal-level elders was no small matter, but within Xu Zimo, the Tree of Life continued to operate steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>",1089,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","3545d0964691065acdbd12f50af2da261dc9f81eb644a03f56f113b37609e80d","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-534","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-532",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
