I Truly Am The Villian

“`

After this power merged with Chu Yang, a gleam flashed across his eyes, and cracks began to appear in the space around him.

Then, with a loud “bang,” the space around him actually shattered. Boundless might burst forth from Chu Yang’s body, and above him, the sky filled with billowing clouds and radiant mists while violent winds enveloped the entire mountaintop.

Strands of Reincarnation power permeated his surroundings, with Principles in utter disarray and space constantly breaking and healing in an endless cycle.@@novelbin@@

He was like a supreme overlord, with the fate of everything in the world in his grasp.

All beings are mere ants; only I am worthy to be emperor.

Chu Yang slowly stood in the air; with a gentle clench of his fist, he saw the space before him shatter substantially.

“Move it, don’t dawdle,” the Reincarnation Elder shouted a reminder from inside the ring.

Chu Yang quickly snapped out of his bewilderment with the power, finding the spatial constriction around him as flimsy as an illusion, meaningless.

He then stepped forward and arrived in front of the two beads.

The silhouette within the black hole changed color drastically, sensing the might emanating from Chu Yang, and a huge hand enveloped in black mist reached out, covering the heavens and descending toward him.

Around Chu Yang’s fist, the power of Reincarnation swirled, colliding with the giant hand.

Instantly a “boom” resounded, energy pouring out in an explosion, and a massive mushroom cloud soared into the sky.

“Run,” Du Tianyin bellowed at the Blood Wolf Guard nearby, then stepped into the void, fleeing into the distance.

The Blood Wolf Guard present all reacted, each frantically running down the mountain.

At the moment the explosion sounded, another giant hand emerged from the black hole, reaching towards the two beads.

Chu Yang was not to be outdone; his hand filled with Reincarnation power as they both reached for the beads.

Then, they saw the rotating beads forcibly separated, the hand from the black hole snatching the Dark Demon Body, while Chu Yang obtained the Azure Cloud Battle Body.

“Move, time is running out,” the Reincarnation Elder inside the ring urged anxiously.

“Damn it,” the person within the black hole seemed to rage, conjuring another colossal Heavenly Demon Palm to smite Chu Yang.

Chu Yang did not dare to linger in battle, his Reincarnation power surged, and he opened a Space Gate. With one step, he entered the Space Gate.

The colossal palm followed, space shattered, the gate crumbled, but Chu Yang had vanished.

The black hole hovered silently in midair, the entire mountain peak reduced to a level plane.

“It’s been tens of thousands of years since someone dared to snatch something from the hands of Ancient Nether,” a calm voice spoke, carrying unimaginable fury, like the deceptive calm before a sudden storm.

……

Chu Yang weakly opened his eyes, feeling completely powerless, his body experiencing an extreme sense of weakness.

In his blur, it seemed someone was feeding him, but he lacked even the strength to open his eyes, desiring nothing more than to fall back into a deep sleep that could plunge day into night.

Night deepened, and the clear chirping of cricket-like insects resounded through the woods, the moon rising above the willow tips, placidly hanging in the sky like a giant disc.

The caravan made its way along a forest path, the leading elder looking at the deepening twilight and announced loudly, “Let’s camp here for the rest and continue tomorrow, we should reach Beacon Fire City by then.”

With about twenty people and three horse-drawn carriages, the guards around the carriages all wore matching green shirts with a large “Ning” embroidered on the back.

At that moment, a loud shout came from the rear of a carriage.

“Miss, the young man you saved yesterday has woken up.”

“`

…

Chu Yang weakly opened his eyes, feeling much less fatigued than before, but the spiritual energy within his body felt completely drained.

He didn’t rush to resume his cultivation, instead, he took in the scenery around him.

It seemed he was inside the compartment of a carriage, the air filled with a light fragrance, reminiscent of a perfume used by women.

Before Chu Yang could take a closer look, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a woman in a green long dress appeared before him.

“You’re awake,” the woman said with a smiling face, her voice sounding very gentle.

“Yes, may I ask where I am?” Chu Yang nodded with a puzzled expression, asking curiously.

“We are from the Ning Family of Beacon Fire City. We had just finished trading supplies in another city and found you fainted by the roadside on our way back. I saved you,” the woman said with a smile: “My name is Ning Yuyan.”

“Thank you, my name is Chu Yang,” Chu Yang quickly said with gratitude: “For this life-saving grace, I owe you a great debt. If there’s anything you need in the future, please feel free to command me.”

Ning Yuyan smiled and shook her head, “I didn’t save you looking for repayment. You’re still very weak. Rest well.”

Watching Ning Yuyan leave, Chu Yang began to communicate with Ink Elder.

“Teacher, are you there?”

The voice from inside the ring sounded somewhat weakened, Ink Elder spoke slowly: “Yang, I’m alright, just that my divine soul’s power has been used too frequently; I might need to sleep for a while.

Take good care of yourself for now, and if you encounter any medicine that can restore a divine soul, remember to keep an eye out for me.”

“I understand, Teacher,” Chu Yang said with concern: “I will find the medicine to restore the divine soul as soon as possible.”

Afterward, Chu Yang began to sit cross-legged, circulating the Step Battle Immortal Jue, slowly absorbing spiritual energy to recover himself.

Tremendous spiritual energy flowed into his body, healing his organs, flesh, and bones bit by bit, and the feeling of weakness on Chu Yang’s body also gradually dissipated.

He discovered that after merging Ink Elder’s power into his body, although the side effects were significant, he had unwittingly reached the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, just one step away from unlocking Xuan Gu and advancing to the Condensing Vein Realm.

This was an unexpected gain.

The night sky, sprinkled with stars, looked extraordinarily beautiful.

The evening breeze was gentle, rustling the green leaves on the branches, softly caressing the earth.

The caravan had already set up camp, the guards started to set up pots for boiling water, gathering around the campfire, preparing a well-deserved dinner after a long day.

The maid, Cui, accompanied Ning Yuyan to one side, bringing up the freshly cooked meat soup.

“Cui, you eat too, don’t mind me,” Ning Yuyan said with a smile.

Then, the elder leading the caravan approached with a worried expression, “Miss, is that man awake? Did you not ask about his identity?”

“Uncle Ning, it’s fine, I’m quite good at judging people, and he doesn’t seem like a profoundly wicked person,” Ning Yuyan said, shaking her head.

“The Miss is kind-hearted. Since you insist on keeping him with the caravan, I will not force the issue,” Uncle Ning pondered for a moment, then said: “But I still hope you would keep your distance from him. After all, appearances can be deceiving. Let him leave once we reach Beacon Fire City.”

“I understand, thank you, Uncle Ning,” Ning Yuyan said, nodding her head with a smile.

…

A silent night passed, the night watch guard yawned as the first light of dawn began to appear at the edge of the sky, and daylight gradually broke.
