I Truly Am The Villian

```

As the Creation Force began to permeate Xu Zimei’s body.

He slowly took out the Mother Leaf.

A thick life energy emanated from the Mother Leaf.

It is said that every drop of liquid exuding from the Tree of Life’s body possesses a power comparable to that of Universe Tier Mysterious Medicine.

When the Mother Leaf revealed a stream of Abstruse energy, Xu Zimei followed the method Yao Shengnan had taught him.

He began to make use of the Mother Leaf bit by bit.

The dense life energy almost enveloped the entire courtyard.

On the mountainside where Goose Southern Peak was located, all kinds of plants were growing wildly.

Xu Zimei’s soul seemed to separate from his body.

His consciousness entered a darkness as if traversing endless space.

He could see nothing around him, holding a glass bottle in his hand.

Standing in the darkness, he opened the mouth of the bottle and slowly poured out a drop of blood inside.

This blood was given to Xu Zimei by Yao Shengnan, the Innate Essence Blood of their Heaven Clan.

As the blood fell, the darkness at his feet began to fluctuate suddenly.

Ripples spread out in layers.

With the ripples growing larger and larger.

The surroundings were silent, and Xu Zimei could hear nothing.

All of a sudden, he heard the sound of water dripping all around him.

Xu Zimei’s vision flashed black, and when he opened his eyes again.

He was surrounded by a vast expanse of green.

It was a forest.

The Sky-reaching Ancient Tree grew so tall that it blocked out the sun, with its trunk stretching endlessly, beyond sight.

The tree’s branches were lush and thick, obscuring the entire Firmament.

Looking up, no sun could be seen, only slivers of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.

The forest was tranquil.

These ancient trees, with their immensely thick life energy, seemed ageless.

Xu Zimei looked around and then walked straight towards a footpath in the forest ahead of him.

The path was specially cleared, flanked by green vines on both sides.

The air within the forest was incredibly fresh.

Walking along the path, after turning a corner.

The view in front of Xu Zimei suddenly opened up and the scene completely shocked him.

It was a great tree.

An unheard-of Sky-reaching Ancient Tree.

The ancient tree was vast and majestic.

Its trunk soared into the sky as if supporting the Heavens themselves.

The treetop was shaped like an umbrella, enveloping half the Firmament.

The height of the tree was immeasurable.

Its multitude of branches extended in all directions, each one so thick it measured tens of meters across, and from each branch, countless more branched off.

Interlocked and competing for glory, the tree was lush and verdant.

The trunk bore many tiny items like fruit, tightly packed across its surface.

These items, shaped like six-pointed stars, were only about the size of a thumb.

Rough estimates put the number of six-pointed star fruits on the tree at over a million, perhaps even more.

The pure green leaves were somewhat akin to maple leaves, radiating a thick life energy.

The ancient tree’s entire body was a deep brown, with numerous branches rooted deep underground.

Others wound up into the sky.

The tree’s trunk alone was a hundred meters in diameter, making it nearly impossible to imagine the depth and length of its branches and roots.

At this moment, the ancient tree existed quietly in the depths of the forest.

As if it resided in another space.

Isolated by time and in a space detached from our own.

Only when Xu Zimei arrived under the tree could he truly feel the grandeur of the ancient tree.

He felt himself to be as insignificant as a speck of dust.

At that moment, at the position of the deep brown trunk.

```

Two eyes slowly emerged, and supreme majesty radiated from them.

"Human, you are not of the Heaven Clan, what is your business here?"

"I have heard of the renown of the Tree of Life and wanted to witness it for myself," Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

"Then you shall stay here forever,"

As the aged voice fell, a "boom" resounded.

The thick branches around him rose from the ground, flailing wildly in the air like a horde of demons and monsters.

They immediately attacked Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes and quickly drew Tyrant Shadow from his back.

Flames enveloped the sword, and the power of thunderbolts exploded around it.

When he slashed down, all the branches of the Tree of Life were severed.

The flames spread along the branches.

However, the vitality of these branches was too exuberant.

The ones that were cut grew back instantly.

And the situation worsened, more and more branches appearing.

Xu Zimei took a deep breath, and the aura of the peak of the Emperor Pulse Realm burst forth from within him.

All six Vein Gates around him opened, and the force of Creation swirled through the world around him.

He stepped into the void, and the Cang Dragon Six Transformations activated behind him.

The vast phantom of a Cang Dragon circled behind him.

A storm of Spiritual Energy surged like a raging tempest, shattering the space around it.

"Way of Inquiry Twelve Forms, Annihilation Void,"

As Xu Zimei slowly brought Tyrant Shadow down in his hand.

An ultimate storm brewed within the Blade Qi.

The boundless force of Creation eroded the void.

Thunderous explosions resounded ubiquitously.

With Xu Zimei’s strike, all the space around disintegrated.

This form, Annihilation Void, could instantly destroy all the small worlds around.

The degree of destruction was absolutely extreme.

When the Blade Qi spread, all the branches around the Tree of Life were cut down.

"Human, how dare you!"

A roar rose from the center of the Tree of Life.

At that moment, countless devouring black holes appeared in midair due to Xu Zimei’s strike.

Once all the branches were slashed, Xu Zimei’s eyes shone brightly.

Taking advantage of the Tree of Life’s failure to recover, he stepped into the void and brought his sword down from the center of the tree.

An endless storm of Spiritual Energy spread.

"Pfft!"

His sword struck into the trunk of the Tree of Life; Xu Zimei pulled with both arms forcefully.

Both sides of his muscles bulged as he drove the blade downward.

The entire tree split in two, breaking apart down the middle.

"Rip," there was a sound.

As the vast and immense ancient tree utterly collapsed, another "boom" echoed.

Dust rose into the sky with the wind.

In the center of this severed ancient tree, a new tree was growing.

This was the true Tree of Life.

The entire tree seemed somewhat ethereal, very unreal to the touch.

It was essentially a miniature version of the outer ancient tree, exuding a bright green glow.

A bit like fireflies, or perhaps the elves from fairy tales.

"Human, you are courting death."

Angry shouts came from the tree.

"What, not hiding anymore?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.

The consciousness of the Tree of Life was somewhat angered; its own branches began to sway slightly.

Once again, thunderous explosions resounded.

Supreme power emanated from all around it.

Clearly, it had now become serious.

Xu Zimei did not dare to be careless; his existence in the Emperor Pulse Realm truly paled in the face of the Tree of Life.
