Though this Particle World was vast, the Lizard Race was a major tribe, densely distributed, so it wasn’t too hard to navigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we reach Black Wyvern River, you’ll face your first challenge,\" Green Yun warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Black Dragon has four guardians: Black Wyvern, Black Python, Black Panther, and Black Tortoise,\" Green Yun explained. \"They stand between the territories of the four lizard tribes, preventing communication among us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the cultivation level of the Black Wyvern?\" Xu Zimo asked while wiping his long blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gift from a noble-looking young man during a previous duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be at the early Fusion Heaven realm,\" Green Yun thought for a moment and replied, \"I can’t say for sure. But I remember Brother Wrathful once told us that the Black Dragon is already a half-empyrean, only one step away from Grand Empyrean. His guardians shouldn’t be weak either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why doesn’t your Lizard Race cultivate?\" Xu Zimo asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Black Dragon forbids it. Only its lackeys can receive some low-level cultivation techniques,\" Green Yun replied. \"Otherwise, it’s afraid we’d rise up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded. He raised his right hand and summoned the Darksky Tiger from his True Fate World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive black tiger appeared in front of them, several dozen meters tall, with immense beastly pressure radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger roared, its fierce mouth wide open, fangs dozens of centimeters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Green Yun saw the beast, she screamed and collapsed to the ground in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to run, but her legs were too weak to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this...\" she pointed at the Darksky Tiger, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you afraid of? It’s my mount,\" Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mount?\" Green Yun was stunned, then sighed in relief, but still didn’t dare get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could’ve warned me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t get the chance. Who knew you’d react so strongly,\" Xu Zimo replied. \"We’re too slow on foot, riding this will be faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Darksky Tiger hadn’t fought much lately, with Xu Zimo’s extensive resources, it had reached peak Imperial Meridian realm, equivalent to the peak of the Fusion Heaven realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body had become more powerful and muscular. Its eyes were deep and dark, and its claws nearly half a meter long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each step, it left deep gashes in the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will it eat me?\" Green Yun asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. It only follows my orders,\" Xu Zimo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flipped onto the tiger’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Yun hesitated, then cautiously approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo grabbed her hand and pulled her up in one swift motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight,\" Xu Zimo reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger bolted forward at extreme speed, wind howling past their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Yun felt the speed increasing, and the wind turned into a violent gale. Her thin body felt like a piece of paper, ready to be blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t hold on!\" she shouted from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo waved his hand, forming a large hand of spiritforce to support her from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several hours, the Darksky Tiger finally stopped at the edge of a black river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river’s current was rapid, its color ominously dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like dead water, with a foul stench rising from it. The surface surged violently, wave after wave crashing endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the place. Once we cross this river, we’ll be in Red Lizard territory,\" Green Yun said. \"But with the Black Wyvern here, no one dares cross.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo glanced at the Darksky Tiger. The tiger roared fiercely, opened its jaws, and released a spiritforce blast into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud boom, the water exploded, splashing everywhere. The center of the river burst open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The already raging surface became even more turbulent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who dares disturb this king’s slumber?\" a gloomy voice rose from the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Yun was clearly nervous. She gripped Xu Zimo’s arm and whispered, \"If we can’t win, we run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the murky river churned. A deep vortex appeared in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the vortex came a series of thunderous explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive figure slowly emerged from the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a dark Black Wyvern, over ten meters long. Its scales were half gray, half black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mouth was pointed, with eight one-meter-long whiskers. Its small, round eyes spun constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two small horns grew from its head, seemingly not fully developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What species is this?\" Xu Zimo chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen many types of flood dragons, but this one didn’t look fierce, more comical, really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" the Wyvern asked, eyeing Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the chatter. Kill it,\" Xu Zimo waved his hand and said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger roared again and leapt dozens of meters into the air, pouncing at the Wyvern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wyvern didn’t even have time to react before it was slammed into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you offend the noble Lord Black Wyvern!\" came an enraged roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Wyvern wrapped its body around the tiger, trying to crush it in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The river churned violently as the two beasts battled, stirring up endless waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger raised a claw and slashed at the Wyvern’s neck, causing blood to gush instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shrill scream echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger was clearly stronger, its overwhelming beast aura radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened its bloody jaws and bit into the Wyvern, tearing off chunks of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with both claws, it pinned the Wyvern’s head and slashed down its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosions roared louder and louder. The black river shot waves dozens of meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Wyvern’s resistance weakened, a resentful voice emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you kill me, Lord Black Dragon will never let you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About to die and still worrying about someone else. Ridiculous,\" Xu Zimo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Darksky Tiger slashed again, this time severing the Wyvern’s head from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foul-smelling black river turned red with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It... it died just like that?\" Green Yun stammered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5e461062e9c2b5f2187a7d9ba1b88edcd65b4ad81e8d895a8a599a6a2efbd49","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-683","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-681",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
