I Truly Am The Villian

Chu Yang fell silent for a moment, then slowly took the ring and said resolutely, "Master, if there ever comes a day when I achieve something great, I will make sure the name of the Heavenly Sword is known throughout the entire Extreme West Region."

Yue Buli laughed heartily, glanced up at the imposing Ren Pingsheng in the sky, slapped Chu Yang’s shoulder, and said contentedly, "Go quickly, or it will be too late."

"Master, aren’t you leaving?" Chu Yang asked.

"I will live or die with the Sect Gate," Yue Buli shook his head, "The trouble was caused by me, and it will surely subside with my sacrifice.

The cost is just too great."

Yue Buli sighed, looking at the battered Sect Gate, "Damn it, this was built with the effort of several generations."

...

Watching Chu Yang’s retreating figure, he looked back longingly at the world one last time, then soared into the air and charged towards Ren Pingsheng.

After the power of the Emperor Pattern and Destiny had been bestowed upon him, Ren Pingsheng seemed like a demonic titan descended from the heavens, standing tall between earth and sky, his Sun Devouring Axe enveloped by a vast expanse of black air.

With one swing of the axe, mountains shattered, space fractured, and all things vanished into oblivion.

The space at the edge of the sky was violently torn open, and the rended space continued for several minutes without healing.

The Endless Demonic Qi, carrying the spatial turbulence within the torn space, turned the whole world topsy-turvy.

The Longsword wielded by the Heavenly Sword Elder clashed with the Sun Devouring Axe and immediately sparked.

In just a moment, the Longsword shattered into pieces.

The ethereal aura that had once surrounded White Cloud Sword Master was gone, as he wrapped his horsetail whisk around the Sun Devouring Axe, attempting to pull it towards him.

But the Endless Demonic Qi immediately engulfed his horsetail whisk, causing White Cloud Sword Master’s expression to turn to one of shock; he quickly retreated to one side with the Heavenly Sword Elder.

With just a simple move, the weapons of the two had been destroyed.

Ren Pingsheng raised the Sun Devouring Axe high above his head, and in the span of a single breath, the axe head grew several times larger.

Clouds of Demonic Qi rolled across the sky, all the black fog converging together, following the trajectory of the giant axe as if guided by it.

Like meteors falling from the sky, they all plummeted towards the grounds of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Countless "boom boom boom" sounds exploded on the ground, accompanied by violent collisions of Demonic Qi.

The glory of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which had shone for hundreds of years, was completely destroyed in an instant.

Dust filled the air, and all came to a close; the Heavenly Sword Elder, with eyes red and filled with tears, looked at the utterly destroyed Sect Gate.

Watching the Heavenly Sword Elder, White Cloud Sword Master, and Yue Buli all charge at him recklessly, Ren Pingsheng’s expression remained indifferent. Amidst the aftermath of the destruction, a reflection of his own Ren Family being annihilated in the past seemed to dance before his eyes.

He slowly swung the enormous Sun Devouring Axe in his hand, and then everything returned to silence.

A gentle breeze blew in from afar, the black fog in the sky already dissipated, and a few white clouds stood out against the azure sky.

The world was very still, so still that it seemed even the heartbeat could be heard, as if the cataclysmic battle that had just occurred had never happened.

If it wasn’t for the smoky ruin on the ground, now a wasteland of a Sect Gate, people might never be able to imagine the intensity of the battle.

Ren Pingsheng stood on the edge of the sky, gazing at the setting sun that was gradually fading away.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, "Vengeance has been exacted, but why do I not feel the slightest bit of joy, and instead feel such oppression in my heart!"

He descended from the sky, standing amidst the ruins at the very center, gazing at the handiwork of his own creation.

With severe injuries still on him, he took some Pills to stabilize his condition for the moment before he left the Heavenly Sword Sect to find a place to heal.

...

After leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect, Chu Yang continued westward, the black fog behind him falling like meteors.

He ran desperately westward, but the black fog moved at an incredible speed, and the explosive range was very wide.

After dodging several clusters of black fog, he was eventually hit by one.

At the moment when the black fog struck him, Chu Yang activated the Azure Cloud Battle Body.

A red-blue hue spread over his entire body, and above his forehead appeared a vortex symbol, with the Light of Life flowing between his hair.

Even his ears became elf-like, becoming elongated and sharp.

Then he was hit by the black fog and became completely unconscious.

...

Unsure how much time had passed, Chu Yang gradually awoke from his coma.

His entire body felt a bit sore and weak, but fortunately, there was no injury.

Chu Yang knew that it was thanks to the Azure Cloud Battle Body, which not only increased his overall strength but also came with a built-in Battle Body skill.

"Light of Life."

It could quickly heal his own wounds.

He surveyed his current surroundings and seemed to be at the bottom of a cliff.

Chu Yang remembered there indeed was a cliff near the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Black water streamed past him, with the surrounding trees lush and verdant.

Chu Yang suddenly realized that life sometimes truly holds fateful encounters, for the river in front of him was the Black Water River.

The Black Water River spanned the entire Extreme West Region, said to have one end in the center of the Eastern Continent.

He had previously fought for the Azure Cloud Battle Body on Black Water Peak, and now, he found himself seeing the Black Water River once again.

...…

"Yang, are you alright?" the Reincarnation Elder asked with concern from within the ring.

"I’m fine, thanks to the Azure Cloud Battle Body, but I fear for the others from the Sect Gate," Chu Yang fell silent for a moment, deeply sighing.

"Don’t think too much, let’s get out of here first," said the Reincarnation Elder.

Chu Yang nodded, glancing at the Sect Leader’s ring on his right hand. He knew it represented a heavy responsibility.

After briefly scanning the surroundings, Chu Yang was about to follow the river flow of the Black Water River.

But he noticed a very concealed cave entrance on the cliff face in front of him.

The entrance was covered by vines, and due to the lack of living creatures for many years, wild grass had overgrown the area.

If not for his good luck, he might not have discovered the cave entrance.

Chu Yang pondered for a moment, then picked up a stone from the bank and threw it into the cave to check for dangers.

After confirming there was no movement inside, he drew out the Wandering Dragon Sword, and with the Longsword’s spiritual energy surging, he quickly cut through the vines.

Chu Yang walked into the cave entrance, where the light was somewhat dim, and the space was not very large, looking like it was man-made.

Inside the cave was empty, with only a stone table in the center, upon which sat a very ancient book.

It was covered in dust, which Chu Yang blew off before gently picking up the book.

The yellowed cover bore only one large character, "Forget."

"What’s this? It doesn’t look like a Cultivation Technique or Vein Skills," murmured Chu Yang. However, this single character, "Forget," seemed to carry some special significance.

He slowly turned to the first page of the book and after looking at it for a long time, he realized it was an autobiography.
