I Truly Am The Villian

As the figure was sent flying into mid-air, there came a brief pause in the form of the One Leaf Ancient God, as the purple leaf above cradled him to a stop.

"The peak of Divine Vein Realm," the One Leaf Ancient God said with a grave expression.

He instantly felt troubled—if the opponent had just stepped into the Divine Vein Realm, he himself was already at the pinnacle of Divine Vein, plus with five additional Pseudo Divine Veins, the odds of winning were quite good.

But now, he felt somewhat in over his head.

Above him, the purple leaf transformed into endless purple radiance, and within this splendid light, a great tree began to grow.

The purple tree grew taller and taller, the glow upon it becoming ever more powerful, with the sound of "boom boom boom" explosions resonating all around as the very space within a small range was completely shattered.

As the purple tree grew to a certain height, countless branches manifested, all twisting towards the Chaos to kill it.

"The Great Void Ancient Tree," Xu Zimei said with a light chuckle, "You’re quite lucky, using a leaf of the Great Void Ancient Tree as your True Fate."

Watching thousands of branches striking towards him, these branches were sometimes illusory, hidden within the void, and sometimes solidified together, wielding endless Jing Qi as they drew cracks throughout the surrounding space.

The Chaos roared and with a swipe of its giant paw, extinguished all the branches beneath its claws.

"If you had merged with the Great Void Ancient Tree, you might have stood a chance in a fight with me," the Chaos spoke loudly, "But just a leaf, you’re not qualified."

Immediately afterward, the Chaos stood up straight, its two pairs of wings behind it gradually coming together.

On its round and slightly potbellied stomach, a vortex emerged.

This vortex shimmered with red and purple light, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling on it, as if the end of days had arrived.

This was the Chaos’ innate divine ability, "Return to Origin."

Everything returns to the starting point; this divine ability could not only devour everything but also trace back to the origin of all things.

In the whirlpool, a radiance of red and purple burst forth, with boundless Spiritual Energy converging within it.

This beam of light shone fiercely upon the ancient tree and caused it to tremble. The tree itself made "crackling and popping" noises as it reversed back into a purple leaf.

However, the purple leaf no longer bore the dazzling radiance it once did, showing signs of withering.

The One Leaf Ancient God could not help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning pale.

Meanwhile, the attacks of the Five Ancestors of Stone Stele also landed on the Chaos.

Five extreme beams of light shrouded the five of them, and when they struck the Chaos with boundless might, all that could be heard was a muffled grunt from the Chaos.

"A bunch of ants," it roared to the heavens, its claws smashing down from the sky, the layers of space becoming imprisoned as boundless Spiritual Energy surged.

The Five Ancestors of Stone Stele couldn’t even react in time and were sent flying by the force of the claws.

......

"Be careful, it’s at the peak of Divine Vein Realm," warned the One Leaf Ancient God.

Vein Beasts were already more powerful than humans, and with the Chaos having reached the pinnacle of the Divine Vein Realm, just one step away from Stepping into Immortality, naturally, it was difficult for them to resist it.

In the battle that had just unfolded, nearly half of Mixed Yuan Ancient City had been engulfed.

Countless buildings collapsed, and people fled aimlessly as if they were headless ants.

The ground cracked with numerous fissures, with screams and cries of agony echoing everywhere.

At a street corner bun stall, a middle-aged man watched the scene within the city and shook his head, muttering to himself, "I truly feel sorry for you, never again will you be able to taste my buns."

The middle-aged man then tidied up his small stall and slowly pushed his cart away, leaving Mixed Yuan Ancient City behind.

The buildings on both sides of the street collapsed, seemingly avoiding him deliberately, all falling around him.

As the middle-aged man’s figure gradually moved away, the entire street was filled with the enticing aroma of steamed buns.

...

One Leaf Ancient God looked gravely at Chaos, his aura as the pinnacle of Divine Vein Realm surging like an ocean, bowing his head in contemplation.

He had just injured his True Fate Purple Leaf and would need a long time to nurture it back to health; he dared not use the power of True Fate lightly anymore.

"What do we do now?" Watching Chaos’s vast body move step by step towards Ye Family’s direction, Ye Shilong asked anxiously.

The battle earlier was too fierce, and he didn’t dare to participate, only able to watch from a distance.

"Find a way to hold it off for a while, the five of us still have a special move left. If that doesn’t work, we’ll each flee for our lives," White Stele Ancestor said.

"What do you mean?" Ye Shilong’s face changed slightly as he replied, "You were the ones who persuaded me to join the battle, and now you want to run, leaving our Ye Family to bear everything alone?"

"Patriarch Ye, please don’t be agitated," White Stele Ancestor hurriedly spoke, "We didn’t expect it to be at the peak of Divine Vein Realm either; we thought it was just a normal Divine Vein Realm being."

"I advise everyone to stay and discuss strategies," One Leaf Ancient God said indifferently, "The Formation laid out by you all only works within Mixed Yuan Ancient City.

Once you leave the city walls without the boost from the Formation, you will fall back to Saint Vein Realm.

With me here, do you think you can leave?

If our Ye Family falls, then we will all be buried together."

Upon hearing the words of One Leaf Ancient God, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

The Five Ancestors of Stone Stele looked embarrassed, eventually compromising and saying, "Then let’s try together."

...

By this time, Mixed Yuan Ancient City had already plunged into chaos, with many people having escaped outside the city, corpses strewn all across the streets.

Ye Shilong stood in mid-air, his voice infused with Spiritual Energy, spreading throughout the entire city as he spoke loudly, "Everyone, our Mixed Yuan Ancient City is now at a critical juncture of life and death.

Hiding is futile; we must unite to slay this Monster Beast so that our Ancient City can restore peace."

"This Monster Beast was brought by your Ye Family, why should it involve us?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Arguing about this now is pointless," Ye Shilong said loudly, "I hereby promise everyone that as long as we eliminate this Monster Beast,

our Ye Family is willing to give a thousand Spirit Crystals and a Star Tier Vein Skill to everyone who participates in the battle.

Furthermore, we will open our Secret Realm for three days, allowing all participating Martial Artists to enter."

Upon hearing Ye Shilong’s words, the crowd below was in turmoil, especially the Loose Cultivators, who were fervently excited.

"It looks like the Ye Family is really going to bleed heavily this time," discussed another family in hushed voices.

"Should we join the battle?"

"The Spirit Crystals and Vein Skills are trivial, but I’ve been coveting their Secret Realm for a long time. Let’s send some Elders."

At this moment, not only the Loose Cultivators but many families’ members also began gathering towards Ye Shilong’s location.

Xu Zimei floated in the void, watching the scene unfold with a laugh, "Seems like they want to drag the whole city down with them."

Chaos’s colossal body took one stride, an endless surge of Spiritual Energy flowing, and it had already reached the Ye Family’s location.
