At that point, they were like war gods, surrounded by an ocean of slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covered head to toe in blood, they looked like living demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing heavily, Mo Tianming glanced at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two then stepped together into the tenth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the tower, the city of Heavenly Dao was in a complete uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stood beneath the Heavenly Dao Tower, watching in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In past generations, just one person reaching the tenth level was enough to cause a sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, two people had entered together, meaning there was a chance two might pass at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How likely is it they’ll make it through?” someone asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just reaching the tenth floor means they’re freakishly gifted. The real question is, what is the trial on the tenth floor?” someone nearby said with a shake of the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the examiners from the academy, an elderly man let out a long breath and smiled. “This era… it looks like it’s going to be spectacular.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tenth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A world wrapped in starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two arrived, the sight before them left them momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky was blanketed in stars, so close they felt tangible. A great river of stars flowed from east to west like a galactic waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glittering light. A falling galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, beneath the stars, stood a single figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That figure felt like it had merged with the world itself. He was the sky. He was the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a blue robe and stood out like a beacon among the constellations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo and Mo Tianming approached, the figure slowly turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stellar Emperor!” Mo Tianming exclaimed in shock as the man faced them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked up and saw the long-haired man, his hair casually flowing behind him. He had a high nose, sharp brows, star-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those starry eyes, they seemed to truly contain galaxies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlight surged around him in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seems someone still remembers me,” the man smiled when Mo Tianming called out his imperial title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you can see, I am the examiner of the tenth trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stellar Emperor, an ancient and legendary figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was entirely a product of Heavenly Dao Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said he had once been a beggar, who accidentally passed an academy trial and thus began a heaven-defying journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crushed not only the younger generation of the academy, but even ancestors of previous eras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he bore the mantle of Heaven's Will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he remained one of the most low-key emperors ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never created a lineage or faction. After bearing Heaven's Will, he stayed at the academy as a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left all his knowledge behind and eventually ascended to the Outer Heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How does the Grand Emperor plan to test us?” Mo Tianming asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very simple. Defeat me,” Stellar Emperor said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianming froze. To face an emperor head-on, they were still a step short of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were only at the God Meridian realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to panic,” Stellar Emperor said, still smiling. “The version of me standing here is just a shadow I left behind before I bore Heaven's Will. So in some ways, we’re on the same level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which one of you wants to go first?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will,” Mo Tianming said, glancing at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, green spiritforce swirling around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura formed raging winds that howled through the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a spin, Mo Tianming vanished from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Stellar Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled, slashing toward the emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stellar Emperor’s expression turned serious, he clearly didn’t dare to underestimate this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand, and endless starlight gathered in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Their collision exploded in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both retreated three steps, an even match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad! Again!” Stellar Emperor laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight around him intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Milky Way fell around him, and his power surged even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a punch, the stars burst forth in a dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kunpeng’s Nine Steps!” Mo Tianming shouted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tornadoes whipped up around him, stirring dust into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing bird cry echoed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless afterimages of Mo Tianming swirled around Stellar Emperor, launching attacks from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlight and gale-force winds exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures separated once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One final move to decide the winner,” Stellar Emperor said with a grin. “If we keep trading small blows, we’ll be here all day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed,” Mo Tianming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand, and a green orb formed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This orb radiated primal, wild power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It locked into his palm and surged forward with unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stellar Emperor smiled and raised his own right fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached toward the sky, drawing the entire starry sky’s energy into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Battle!” Mo Tianming shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fists collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a shockwave erupted, and space itself was torn apart like fragile paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unimaginable power surged between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind both fighters, massive true Heaven's Will phantoms appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Stellar Emperor was a sea of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Mo Tianming was a massive creature’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was green, its form vague and indistinct, hiding its true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two remained locked in a deadlock, a strange, mysterious energy suddenly burst from within Mo Tianming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stellar Emperor was blown backward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T01:06:58.053Z",1,"novelbin.me","3437b1cdbb3fb58ac84007ef8d10345d62e845464f165a59406947b9b188c31e","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-845","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-843",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
