I was thinking your strength earlier seemed mediocre, turns out you were just holding back,\" Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I waited until they were all dead. Now I’ll kill you and become the chosen one of the main sect,\" Shen Yu sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where does your confidence come from?\" Xu Zimo asked with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll find out soon,\" Shen Yu replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a surge of pure white spiritforce erupted from his body and shot into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura carried an overwhelming might that surpassed the Fusion Heaven Realm, reaching the pressure of a Grand Empyrean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\" Xu Zimo watched with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That white spiritforce enveloped the entire void. Within the haze, a figure seemed to faintly appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the Grandmaster!\" On Dao Mountain, everyone stood up in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is the Grandmaster’s shadow appearing on Shen Yu?\" Wang Yuntian asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their eyes to Changqing, the Lord of Divine Heaven Mountain, filled with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look at me. This has nothing to do with me,\" Changqing said with a laugh. \"Yu’er received the Grandmaster’s inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inheritance? When did the Grandmaster leave behind a personal inheritance?\" Qi Hai asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know either. But the Grandmaster chose Yu’er, that proves he favors him,\" Changqing said. \"Even if you're envious, it’s useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd had mixed expressions, their thoughts unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the ethereal aura, Xu Zimo couldn’t clearly see the figure, but he could feel the pressure of a Grand Empyrean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bet you didn’t expect this, my trump card is the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Sage,\" Shen Yu said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve held onto this card for years, waiting for a life-or-death moment. I should thank you for getting rid of the others for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to thank me. Soon, you’ll be joining them,\" Xu Zimo said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Grand Empyrean’s strike, do you really think you can withstand it?\" Shen Yu snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes. His expression turned solemn and dignified as if he had become one with the massive shadow in the void. His aura surged to match that of a Grand Empyrean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grand Empyrean could found their own sect, become immortal, their path broad and endless, with divine power in every gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yu floated high in the sky, looking down coldly at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die.\" That single word shook the Dao itself, bringing divine might down toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wondering what it was, turns out it’s just a remnant soul,\" Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed Shen Yu had stumbled upon the Nine Heavens Sage’s inheritance, which included a remnant soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After countless ages and the erosion of time, that remnant soul had long since reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power could barely simulate one strike from a Grand Empyrean, and Shen Yu had treated it as his ultimate card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a real Grand Empyrean’s full-strength strike wouldn’t faze Xu Zimo, let alone this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Grand Empyrean’s might descended, the projection on Dao Mountain shattered under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\" The Mountain Lords looked at each other, then turned to Mu Changge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. The final survivor will be returned through the spatial gate,\" Mu Changge said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood was sour. Most of the disciples had died in this trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might be the bloodiest Nine Heavens Gathering ever. There was no way to explain this to the main sect, and the Nine Heavens Sect itself suffered even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\" Shen Yu roared as the shadow slowly lowered its head, and a finger reached toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was just a finger, it was like a pillar reaching to the heavens. As it came down, space completely collapsed around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions echoed. Xu Zimo looked up, smiling calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also raised his right index finger to meet the descending strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the pillar-like finger, Xu Zimo’s looked like a bug striking a tree, an ant defying the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the two fingers collided, a loud \"boom\" rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s finger effortlessly shattered the Grand Empyrean’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! That’s impossible!\" Shen Yu shouted in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his body vanish along with the shadow, his face twisted in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pathetic. You don’t even understand the power you’re wielding, yet you talk so big,\" Xu Zimo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You thought you were the hunter, but you were just prey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around at the shattered mountains and cracked earth, corpses covering the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the nine tokens in front of him, sneered, and threw them to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his right hand, a spatial portal opened, returning him to the Nine Heavens Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief flash of space travel, when Xu Zimo appeared on Dao Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several auras instantly erupted, and several figures surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Qiu, do you know your crime?\" Multiple voices shouted in unison when they saw his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a problem?\" Xu Zimo looked up indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You murdered fellow disciples and still won’t surrender?\" Changqing roared in fury. \"The trial was officially canceled, why did you still kill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they tried to kill me,\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still making excuses? Seize him now, we’ll interrogate him later,\" Wang Yuntian shouted, reaching toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo frowned and slapped out with his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuntian was blasted away, crashing into the distant mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you!\" Qin Hansheng slammed his chair and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared coldly at Xu Zimo. \"No matter what, he’s still your elder. How dare you assault your elder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You trying to frame me and force me to rebel?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Qiu, we’ll handle this fairly,\" Mu Changge sighed from the side. \"But you did go too far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you not to resist. Otherwise, I’ll take it as a declaration of war against the main sect,\" Qin Hansheng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The might of the Empyrean Sect, there’s nowhere in the Southern Region you can hide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu'er, come stand behind your father,\" Lin Beisheng stepped forward after a moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Beisheng, what are you doing?\" Qin Hansheng snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to harm my son, you’ll have to step over my corpse first,\" Lin Beisheng stood in front of Xu Zimo and said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is your Grand Heaven Lineage trying to start a war?\" Changqing sneered. \"No, I’m speaking only for myself. This has nothing to do with the Grand Heaven Lineage,\" Lin Beisheng shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","551bcaf1827c164e19a2a4d69f0f2686f7348e355acfa245045bf113b34e975b","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-650","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-648",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
