I Truly Am The Villian

Flesh hung in tatters across the face, a sight both horrific and repulsive.

"The Cosmos Ze Era, it has ended in destruction after all.

Destroyed!

Destroyed!"

What lay before him could no longer be considered human, it was a complete monster.

The monster, with a stern smile directed at Xu Zimei, muttered incessantly to itself.

Muttering about things like the Cosmos Ze Era.

Xu Zimei furrowed his brow slightly; the era he currently resided in was called the Light Year Era.

As for the so-called Cosmos Ze Era, that was already a matter of the previous epoch.

Before the last epoch was obliterated, all its information vanished along with it.

Nowadays, matters concerning the previous epoch had grown vague and were impossible to trace.

He didn’t understand what connection the person before him had with the Cosmos Ze Era.

But now there was no time to think through it.

The monster charged straight at Xu Zimei.

A thick aura of death exuded from its entire body.

However, when it made its move, Xu Zimei didn’t sense the slightest hint of evil.

Instead, it carried a powerful surge of righteousness.

What is righteousness?

It was said that only those with open hearts, a sense of justice, and a clear conscience could comprehend this force of Haoran Righteousness during battle, a natural law between heaven and earth.

Grasping such righteousness could be as difficult as it was simple.

If your heart reached that state, you would naturally comprehend it.

Otherwise, no matter how hard you tried, it would be in vain.

Xu Zimei didn’t understand how the monster before him could comprehend Haoran Righteousness if it wasn’t a thoroughly malicious villain.

Why it had become this way now.

He threw a punch at it.

With a "bang,"

both figures staggered several steps backward, and Xu Zimei felt a numbing sensation in his fist.

The monster, evidently, must have held no low station in life before.

With a roar, the monster killed its way towards Xu Zimei again.

The boundless Haoran Righteousness around it surged mightily towards the heavens.

Righteous energy enveloped thousands of miles of clear sky, with an auspicious aura coming from the east, as if a surging wave lifted endless sea tides crashing towards him.

Xu Zimei’s gaze sharpened, and he released waves of Creation Force that permeated around him.

In that moment, he activated his Prison Suppressor Demon Body.

Xu Zimei wanted to verify something.

An overwhelming Demonic Qi mixed with Creation Force spread out around him.

His skin was enveloped in a rolling demonic aura.

Purple stripes covered everything from his neck upwards,

appearing like some sort of curse.

His eyes were cold, devoid of any hint of emotion.

This sensation of supreme power enhancement enthralled Xu Zimei.

He clenched his fist ever so slightly, and the space around him shattered completely.

Upon seeing Xu Zimei activate the Prison Suppressor Demon Body, the monster on the other side suddenly became extremely agitated.

Its surrounding Haoran Righteousness grew even more tumultuous.

Shaking the space fiercely, it killed its way toward Xu Zimei with ferocity.

Xu Zimei, unfazed, launched a powerful punch directly.

With a "bang,"

the monster was sent flying.

Only then did Xu Zimei notice a cavern formed of piled-up stones in the hollow behind the monster.

The person just now must have intended to explore the cave and was killed by the monster that suddenly burst out from inside.

As he stepped towards the cave, the monster seemed to go mad, charging at him again.

It still whispered furtively,

"The Cosmos Ze Era has been destroyed!

The disaster of the Demon’s Advent will rise again,

and no creature will be able to escape it."

Listenting to the monster’s words, Xu Zimei grew a bit annoyed.

He grabbed the collar of the monster’s torn clothes and slammed it to the ground.

Then came punch after punch, thundering down on the monster’s face.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Xu Zimei’s punches were incredibly powerful, and the Demonic Qi echoed tumultuously above.

The earth around him cracked open completely.

After dozens of successive punches, he finally stopped.

At that moment, an enormous deep pit appeared before him.

The head of the monster had burst open like a watermelon, completely shattered.

Clearly, it was dead beyond any doubt.

Xu Zimei took a deep breath, in fact, this monster had been dead for a very long time.

It seemed as though there was a tenacious obsession keeping it tethered.

The events of today felt very strange to him.

The Demon Lord seemed even more mysterious than he had imagined.

After killing the monster, he slowly walked into the cave at the back of the small basin.

The cave was very dry, with excellent ventilation and air circulation.

Xu Zimei was always on alert for any danger.

However, as he made his way to the deepest part, he encountered no further perils.

Above the cave, there were two holes piercing through like skylights.

Sunlight shone down from above.

Inside was a chest covered in dust from ages past.

And a stone bed.

It seemed someone had lived here a long time ago, but now the place was full of dust.

How long the cave had been sealed up with the island was anyone’s guess.

There were words carved into the wall of the cave with a sword.

Xu Zimei looked up.

"I am Breeze Taoist,

during the Demon’s Advent.

I know my power is insignificant, but I wish to set an example for the teeming masses.

Someone has to stand tall and hold up the sky.

After years of cultivation, it’s time to do something for this world.

I am leaving, and today I leave behind my legacy.

May those who come after me know that on the day of the Demon’s Advent, within the Demon Slaying Alliance, there was a forerunner known as Breeze Taoist."

Reading the words on the wall, Xu Zimei sneered with scorn.

In the end, most people cannot escape the lure of fame and fortune.

He opened the chest on the ground.

Inside were many books.

There were cultivation system books from the Cosmos Ze Era, along with many other books detailing various places from that era.

Xu Zimei didn’t think much of it and directly placed the chest inside his True Fate World.

When he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly fell on the stone bed to the side.

With a concentration of Spiritual Energy in his right hand, Xu Zimei smashed the stone bed with his fist.

"Crack," went the sound.

As the stone bed shattered into pieces, a crystal box was revealed inside.

Xu Zimei was surprised to find that the crystal box was transparent.

Inside, there was a suit of armor.

The glossy black armor was adorned with gold, with black and purple stripes running parallel.

The high-collared armor was embroidered with several Demon Seals.

Several ferocious faces were depicted on it.

Each face was distinctive and lifelike.

The interior of the armor was blood red, and on the back was a deep red throne.

Upon seeing the armor, Xu Zimei’s heart raced even more fiercely.

He tried to suppress the unexplained excitement within him as he attempted to open the crystal box.

But he found the box was sealed.

No matter how hard he tried, even summoning Bai Meng to use his most powerful attacks, he could not break the seal.

"Has the Demon Lord found his armor?" Bai Meng asked with some excitement.

"You recognize this clothing?" Xu Zimei inquired.

"I will always remember that scene," Bai Meng hurriedly nodded.

His tone carried sincerity and respect.
