Instead, they let out sharp cries at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the entrance to the Blood Rune Space,” the Lord of Destruction said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right hand, and a mighty force condensed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the ground cracked, and endless power surged into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void before them seemed to be torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Images flickered in the broken void, resembling the boundary between two and three dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power surrounding the Lord of Destruction grew stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, his entire body was wrapped in golden light, his figure almost invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a loud boom, the transformation of the void was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them appeared a black sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its internal structure could not be seen, only endless darkness on the outside, like a kind of barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful energy coiled around the outer layer of the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one listened carefully, faint beastly roars could even be heard from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lord of Destruction stretched out his right hand and handed Xu Zimo a spinning black crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the remnant of the sealing domain. With it, you can be swallowed inside,” he said. “But remember, once inside, tread carefully. Above all, your safety matters most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, the Lord of Destruction shouted again, “Swallow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remnant in Xu Zimo’s hand wrapped around him, transforming into a beam of light that shot violently into the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Xu Zimo felt his consciousness blur as rumbling sounds echoed endlessly in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunderous roar never ceased, and he lost all sensation, drifting in the grayness toward an endless distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when Xu Zimo’s figure disappeared into the void did the Lord of Destruction withdraw his aura, allowing everything to calm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What lies within?” Ji Ruobing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most ferocious things in existence,” the Lord of Destruction replied. “If he returns, he will be reborn. If not, then he will never be seen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wisdom of the Holy Progenitor is truly unfathomable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo felt dampness on his face and the sound of flowing water by his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing his eyes open, he found the world outside bright again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cloth that had once covered his eyes was gone, and his transformation was now complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo closed his eyes and felt carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, he whispered to himself, “Heavenly Dao Eye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Heavenly Tribulation God Eyes, it had evolved into the Heavenly Dao Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not merely an increase in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao Eye represented the will of the Grand Dao, watching over the entire world. Whoever violated the order would face divine punishment from heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the tribulations faced when stepping from the Zenith Immortal Realm into the Nirvana Void Realm, the Ninefold Tribulations, all were descended by the Heavenly Dao Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shifting stars, illuminating all things, avoiding death, extending life, boundless heavens and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao Eye transcended the category of mere attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Blood Rune Beast tried to disguise itself now, Xu Zimo could likely see through it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his pupils, there was not only black and white but also a trace of blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were deep, as though gathering all things under heaven within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing mountains as mountains, water as water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then seeing mountains not as mountains, water not as water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountains as water, water as mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding one’s true heart, and then resting at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, once cultivation reached a certain level, it was no longer about simply absorbing spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about comprehending the Dao. Some could comprehend it in a single night, rainbow light piercing the sky, allowing them to stride three thousand miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others could ponder it daily for a lifetime, yet never gain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao Eye greatly enhanced one’s comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It struck directly at the Dao, confronting one’s own heart, thereby entering deeper into the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though others walked a winding road toward enlightenment, while Xu Zimo had carved out a straight shortcut beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing these changes in his eyes for a long time, he opened them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in a narrow valley, with a clear river flowing gently under his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was cool and refreshing, surrounded by lush mountains and dense trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, the crisp chirping of birds echoed from deep within the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Xu Zimo looked around in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had asked both the Blood Rune Beasts and the Lord of Destruction about this place before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answers were always the same, the Blood Rune Space was shrouded in eternal darkness, filled only with an endless rolling sea of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really the Blood Rune Space?” Xu Zimo muttered in doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was the blood sea? This place looked like a paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Birdsong, flowers, green mountains, clear waters, blue seas, and skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly stood, preparing to explore further ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even suspected he had entered the wrong space, that this was some other world rather than the Blood Rune Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the quiet valley, there was no sign of life, not even a trace of human presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the gorge, in the distance, stretched a vast green prairie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grass grew tall, and the air was fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the grassland, Xu Zimo quickly lost his sense of direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, there was no sun, only an overly blue sky filled with drifting white clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for over an hour, Xu Zimo finally spotted a faintly visible village in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickened his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another ten minutes, he stood before the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not reveal himself right away but hid to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke rose lazily from chimneys, someone was cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the village entrance stood two figures chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had beast heads atop human bodies, grotesque in appearance, their forms indescribably strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aside from their heads, the rest of their bodies looked no different from humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo thought for a moment and took out the Codex of Life and Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, after killing three Blood Rune Beasts, he had stored their power within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he drew on that power and used disguise techniques to alter his own appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too now bore a beast head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same attribute of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very simple disguise technique, enough to fool ordinary Blood Rune Beasts, though those with stronger cultivation would see through it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting everything, Xu Zimo strode boldly into the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, the two Blood Rune Beasts chatting nearby noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A new face. Who are you?” one of them asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got lost,” Xu Zimo said quickly with a smile. “I happened to see this village, so I came to ask for directions. Where is this place?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-06T01:07:00.020Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce1369581f1a8a7e0d1fd6f42aa6dbcd68c51e5baf25c2b26d54092dff46f625","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-958","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-956",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
