Their spatial barriers weren’t particularly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a Great World like the Outer Heavens, Xu Zimo wouldn’t be confident he could break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this battle, news of the fall of a Godly Monarch would surely spread across the entire Eternal Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would shake the whole land for some time, but for Xu Zimo, this chapter was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might never return again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the edge of the God Demon Battlefield, Xu Zimo looked up, taking a deep glance at this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Life truly is filled with drama, like a dream, like an illusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the three of them released their strongest powers toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three intense waves of demonic energy shot upward, tearing a hole in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire space collapsed. Within that hole, spatial turbulence raged, and storms of space blew through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Xu Zimo said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three soared into the air, charging toward the spatial barrier through the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic energy surrounded all three, ensuring they wouldn’t be separated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo could feel the tearing sensation around him. Once his body entered the spatial barrier, he lost all control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only drift with the turbulence, floating aimlessly on the edge of this void world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo wasn’t in a hurry. While his physical body rotated in the void, he remained in the God Continent cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Three-Life Gate to the heavens or the Heaven-Shattering God-Scripture, his path was still long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this void space, who knew how many years they drifted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One year? Two? Ten? Time didn’t exist here, and no one could tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until one day, Xu Zimo felt his body spinning faster. The space storm around him became more violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, he saw a tiny beam of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drifting through the endless darkness, carried by the storm, they finally entered the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the world spun violently. Xu Zimo felt like his body was being torn apart, his head dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another long time, Xu Zimo felt his body falling from high above,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then slammed hard into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud “boom” jolted him awake from his sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, are you alright?” The Seven-Face Infernal Archon and Bone Demon quickly got up and rushed to Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shook his head slightly, lay on the ground, took a deep breath, and said, “As I thought, I still prefer the air of this world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in a plain, and at the edge of his vision, he could faintly see the silhouette of a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like we really made it back. I just don’t know how far we are from the Void Valley,” Xu Zimo said. “Let’s check out that city, might be a good chance to ask for directions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three moved quickly. In just a few minutes, they arrived in front of the distant city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, it hadn’t seemed like much, but now standing before it, they could truly feel the city’s grandeur and size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bluish-brown city walls were ancient, stretching beyond the eye’s reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few steps along the wall stood a soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words “Order City” were written above the iron gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters were powerful and bold, especially the “Order,” which was written in a free-flowing, majestic style, it gave a strong sense of dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nine cities in the Ninelands Region. Xu Zimo had visited Tower City before, and if memory served, Order City was also one of the nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he was now in the Ninelands Region, not too far from the Void Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s head in,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering, he had the Bone Demon cover him in a black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t afraid of trouble, he just didn’t feel like dealing with pointless problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, precious time shouldn’t be wasted on worthless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the nine cities, Order City occupied nearly one-ninth of the Ninelands Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, it should have been extremely prosperous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once inside, Xu Zimo noticed it was clearly much quieter than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Street vendors were sparse and listless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, a passerby hurried through without pausing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people stayed in their homes, and armored soldiers frequently patrolled the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something must’ve happened here,” the Seven-Face Infernal Archon remarked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s find an inn to ask about our location,” Xu Zimo said, glancing at the setting sun. “And we could use a proper rest. We haven’t had a good sleep after floating for so long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They randomly picked an inn by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inn was empty, not a single guest or staff in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyone here?” Xu Zimo called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it?” a voice responded. An old man in a brown robe came down the stairs from the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re looking to stay,” Xu Zimo said as he entered the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re new here?” the old man asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Xu Zimo nodded, unsure what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you all for coming to Order City to help us fight the demons. Please, have a seat,” the old man said joyfully. “I’m the innkeeper. You brave warriors can eat and drink anything here for free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight demons?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said, “You may be mistaken, sir. We arrived by chance. We don’t know anything about demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see…” the old man’s face visibly dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask, is this Order City in the Ninelands Region?” Xu Zimo continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s Order City. But if you’re not here to slay demons, I’m afraid I can’t let you stay,” the old man said hesitantly. “These days, all inns are reserved for warriors. If you’re not one, it’s best to leave before dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a group of people walked into the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Innkeeper, bring out the best food and drink. Tonight, I’m off to fight blood and fire. Who knows if I’ll make it back, if I die, let me die with a full belly!” a rough voice shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few burly men entered the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After them, more people trickled in,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three young men and women in scholar’s robes, a cold-looking woman with an icy temperament, and a dashing young man with a wine gourd on his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-06-06T01:06:55.597Z",1,"novelbin.me","79d378973ac01e49bfab4a5e9c32ad6f691008f0b05b19aa2166362b6151f65f","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-726","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-724",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
