The previously dim sky turned pitch black in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dark infernal energy even shrouded the starlight descending from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infernal energy roared and surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number one battle physique, the Hell-Suppressing Deity Physique,” she said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even now, you’re still a bit weak to me,” Xu Zimo replied indifferently. “But to help you understand the gap, I’ll fight battle physique against battle physique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er's gaze flickered. She didn’t speak for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the crowd below erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The... the number one battle physique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard back during the Six Holy Lands Gathering there were rumors that the number one battle physique had appeared. Didn’t think it was true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy Son Xu is too strong. Why is he so unknown in our Eastern Continent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows, maybe he’s just low-key and rarely stays in the Eastern Continent, so we don’t know much about him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the murmurs from the crowd, Xu Zimo raised his hand slightly and made a provocative gesture toward Gong Yun'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if it’s the number one battle physique?” Gong Yun'er replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Starry Sky Physique, paired with my True Fate, can fight any battle physique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finished speaking, starlight around her erupted and she charged at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor, should we stop this?” someone from the Otherworldly Zenith Palace asked in concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush. Let that girl Yun'er taste defeat, it might be good for her,” the old ancestor replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thankfully this isn’t the battle for Heaven’s Will. There’s still a chance to recover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he really that strong? What if our Young Palace Mistress wins?” someone said in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you notice?” the ancestor smiled. “That young man hasn’t even used his True Fate yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around finally realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, their Young Palace Mistress had unleashed her star chart, summoned eight stars, and awakened her Starry Sky Physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her opponent hadn’t even bothered to summon his True Fate. It meant he hadn’t felt pressured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gong Yun'er appear before him, fists breaking the void as she struck at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo laughed. “How do you want to die?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand and grabbed her purple robe by the collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then slammed her heavily into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again and again, left and right, the sound of repeated impacts rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked and split, forming countless pits of all sizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three stars above shimmered, Xu Zimo raised his right fist and, with a single punch, shattered all three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er’s body was flung into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched in stunned silence as she flew backward. She couldn’t even fight back, let alone resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her purple hair fluttered midair, and with a loud crash, she hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve got any trump cards left, use them,” Xu Zimo said calmly. “I’m not really interested in playing house with you anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er struggled to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared blankly ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeated,” she muttered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t imagine how much this loss would impact her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew how she had grown, how many resources she had received.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hopes of the Otherworldly Zenith Palace rested on her. She always believed this generation’s Heaven’s Will was already in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, not only did she lose, she lost completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could endure defeat and start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this kind of loss, with a gap like a chasm, made it hard to see hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like no matter how hard she worked in this life, she’d never catch up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Going to admit defeat?” Xu Zimo asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Admit defeat?” Gong Yun'er’s pupils contracted. “No, no, I won’t admit defeat. I can’t lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like possessed, starlight around her surged severalfold, and she charged at Xu Zimo again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Star Explosion!” she roared from deep within her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the vast oppressive infernal aura, her starlight still resisted with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she reached Xu Zimo, he casually grabbed her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the starlight around her physique, he slowly lifted her off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er felt her throat burning, like it was about to be crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struggled, staring at the man before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time she truly studied this man closely and seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long black hair, infernal energy swirling in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was sharply defined, firm and proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From him radiated one clear aura, dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incomparable dominance, arrogant and confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t arrogance, it was real confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this man deserved to have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, Gong Yun'er, had seen many people in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her background was extraordinary, even stronger than many imperial lineages. She had long since surpassed the Primordial Heartlands in vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held high standards, no man had ever caught her eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to become a woman like Grand Empress Hongtian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the first time she felt fear, from someone her own age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like an insurmountable chasm standing in front of everyone. Heaven’s Will was close enough to touch, yet completely out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you going to kill me?” Gong Yun'er asked with difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A man should keep his word. I helped you bury the crystals in this Heaven-Genesis Microcosm so you could seal the void,” Xu Zimo replied. “You said you’d destroy the Baili Imperial Clan. How could you go back on your word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you really want?” Gong Yun'er looked at Xu Zimo in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing the Baili Imperial Clan, what benefit did it bring him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo pulled her closer, his mouth gently nearing her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So close, Gong Yun'er blushed for the first time in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never thought of love. She considered herself an ice-cold figure, focused only on power, with no room for emotion or desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, for some reason, her heartbeat quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you say you’ll destroy the Baili Imperial Clan, then keep your word,” Xu Zimo said. “But don’t touch Baili Xiao, she’s mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished speaking, Xu Zimo slowly let go of Gong Yun'er’s throat and turned to walk off the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Gong Yun'er stood there, dazed, watching his back as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yun'er, come quickly,” the Otherworldly Zenith Palace’s ancestor called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Yun'er turned her head and gave Xu Zimo one last deep look before finally leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>",1130,"2026-06-06T01:06:58.053Z",1,"novelbin.me","9147cc16ea52223f7c139d850a26c0849be51892dd93535778372a965c28af81","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-817","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-815",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
