Human strength has its limits. How can you fight against the entire world? Or maybe... it’s just that you’re not strong enough, yet,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved both hands again, fully activating the God World, which came crashing down with unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden monkey roared, holding on for a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then its body gradually lowered as it yelled, “No more! I give up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue planet dropped completely, pressing the monkey flat to the ground, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo had previously been taught how to use the demon seal by Paimon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed hand seals with both hands, Infernal Force spread across the sky, and a Demon Seal slowly appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accept this mark into your body, and you’ll live,” Xu Zimo said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want me to surrender? I, the Great Sage Heaven-Unity, would rather die than serve!” the monkey growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be so dramatic. I never said I was going to kill you,” Xu Zimo replied. “I just need you to help me break a seal. After that, you’re free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?” The monkey eyed Xu Zimo suspiciously. “I don’t believe a word you say. You can talk all you want, I won’t give in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you recognize this?” Xu Zimo slowly pulled out the monkey statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Sage Body!” the monkey cried out in shock. “How do you have that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I found it,” Xu Zimo said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been to the valley where I cultivated?” the monkey asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something like that,” Xu Zimo said. “So, what now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me the Sage Body, and I’ll agree to your condition,” the monkey answered without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it finished speaking, there was a loud boom in the distance. Explosions shook the world around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth cracked open, and the Wind-Destroying Pearl above Xu Zimo’s head began to spin rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?” Xu Zimo looked into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the valley, the sky was in chaos, sandstorms, lightning, and thunder roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tornado-like storm swept toward them at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is bad, it’s a Void Storm! Run, run!” the monkey shouted in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Space turbulence?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! A Void Storm is a real disaster!” the monkey shouted. “This is all your fault! The battle earlier must’ve drawn it here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t get it,” Xu Zimo said, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey, despite its weak state, sprang up and took off running without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, use the Sage Body to guide us! We have to get out of the Path of No Return and back to Void Valley, it’s the only safe place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them fled the valley, running through the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they escaped, the monkey gave a brief explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things in the world can have a spirit, humans, animals, and plants are born with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is called innate spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there are also strange things in the world that can gain a spirit over time. These are called acquired spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Path of No Return is as ancient as the Primordial Heartlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, it only had space turbulence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after countless years, some of that turbulence gained sentience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These entities grew stronger by devouring other space currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they formed what’s now called Void Storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These storms can devour everything and are made from countless waves of space turbulence. They are nearly unstoppable, especially in a place like the Path of No Return, which is their home turf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Spirit Monkey had lived here for ages. It knew how to stay safe by hiding from Void Storms in its valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it needed to cultivate, it would leave the Path of No Return and go to the valley Xu Zimo entered earlier to avoid detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the monkey, someone had barged into its valley during a critical point in its training, and in its rush to hide, it accidentally dropped its Sage Body statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they kept running, the thick fog slowed them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Storm caught up in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now?” Xu Zimo shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey glanced at the incoming storm, then turned into a streak of light and dove into the golden monkey statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo was stunned but didn’t hesitate, he threw the statue into his God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous suction force pulled from behind. He was moments away from being swept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a giant hand reached out from the void, Paimon emerged, surrounded by dark Infernal Force, resisting the Void Storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, this is the edge of a collapsing world. I can’t hold out much longer,” Paimon said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo realized he couldn’t even resist. His God Meridian cultivation was useless here, he was like an insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void Storm tried to drag him in, but Paimon blocked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo felt frozen, unable to move even an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the storm kept consuming surrounding space currents, growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s vision blurred. Though his body was frozen, his soul was being pulled out, separating from his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord!” Paimon shouted, preparing to open his tenth meridian gate, ready to risk everything to save Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s soul lifted upward. Just before vanishing, he saw a thin crack inside the storm, like a split in the sky, where the outline of another world flickered faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t! Just protect my body. I’ll be back,” Xu Zimo shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then his soul was completely pulled into the rift within the Void Storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness. Endless darkness surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s consciousness faded. His senses shut down, and his mind drifted into sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he blacked out, he felt as though he had been squeezed into a tiny, compressed space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, all awareness disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal Lands, Nine Heavens Imperial Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d42a8033d8e9c2c7842ed6e5eb6fb62f1d1035aebee7cbfc6040566828ab480","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-604","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-602",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
