I Am the Fated Villain
Chapter Summary
The immortal civilization could deploy two or even three of the same level simultaneously to engage against the Dao Chang Realm. Now, with the strength of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, as long as he could completely seize this side of the real world, his power would leap to a level comparable to the Dao realm. After this battle, neither the Dao Chang Realm nor the Immortal Civilization would be at their peak again.
1360: Gu Xian’er’s transformation, I will be invincible in this world“I can’t retreat.
If I do, who will protect the villagers of Peach Village?
Who will safeguard the masters and the village chief?
”Gu Xian’er replied, shaking her head.
Her breathing remained steady, and her tone was resolute.
As she spoke, she unleashed another wave of sword energy, sending it soaring across the vast distance, roaring past to intercept the advancing army.
“You girl, why are you being so foolish?
Even if you stay here, don’t you realize you can’t change anything?
”Da Hong exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice.
[Ed note: Da Hong is the name of the Red Big Bird] “It’s truly reckless.
With your talent, you could easily surpass these foes if you took the time to cultivate in a safer place for a few hundred years.
”Da Hong’s anxiety mounted; it seemed as though Gu Xian’er was lacking in judgment.
At this critical moment, she still refused to flee and insisted on fighting.
If the other Immortal Emperors redirected their attention toward her, how would she stand a chance?
He knew all too well that the life-saving items Gu Changge had given her were long depleted after her trials in the Heavenly Tomb.
Gu Xian’er had nothing left to protect herself now.
Previously, she had a group of masters and Tao Yao to shield her, but now, if she truly faced a life-threatening situation, she would find herself with no escape.
“I understand what you’re saying, but I can only do my best.
I can’t just stand by and watch these people die,” Gu Xian’er replied, her face calm as she made swift movements to fend off the attackers.
Besides, I was once the Daoist of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
This world has given me so much fortune to help me grow, and it has been kind to me.
She was aware of the risks involved.
However, choosing to escape now would feel like a betrayal of her Dao’s heart.
That was simply not in her nature or her choice.
At the moment Gu Xianer’s words fell, she sensed a mysterious power blessing her from somewhere.
Her primordial spirit began to shine, and the essence of the heavenly incarnation she had absorbed previously was being transformed into majestic mana.
“Your primordial spirit is evolving into the light of the quasi-immortal emperor.
Although it’s just a trace, this is a significant opportunity…” Da Hong remarked, unable to hide his astonishment.
It was evident that Gu Xian’er was destined to respond to a catastrophe, and amidst the chaos of battle, her primordial spirit had unexpectedly found a chance for transformation.
If all went well, she could break through and become an Immortal Emperor, leading to an earth-shattering change in her strength.
Chi!!!
At that moment, from the opposite direction, tens of thousands of icy sword lights surged forth, attempting to cleave through the vast universe.
The two opponents, their faces contorted with fury, were caught off guard by the young girl’s resistance; they found themselves unable to defeat her quickly.
Comparable to immortal kings, they were among the most powerful figures in the immortal civilization, ruling over many worlds with immense strength.
The young girl before them, though evidently not very old, possessed both remarkable fortune and formidable power, matching their own.
“We need to work together to take this girl down quickly.
If we allow her to complete her transformation, we won’t stand a chance against her,” one of them warned, his voice echoing through the universe as he observed Gu Xian’er’s transformation.
In response, Gu Xian’er raised her jade hand, allowing the fluctuations of Daoism to permeate the air.
This formed an ancient immortal shield that radiated brilliance to withstand their attack.
The intensity of the battle between the layers of the Absolute Immortal King was truly terrifying.
Boom!!!
A massive explosion erupted, resembling the detonation of countless stars.
The dazzling light was blinding, powerful enough to make all the Dao collapse.
Gu Xian’er’s figure trembled slightly as she was forced to retreat tens of thousands of miles into the universe to regain her balance.
Then, she swung her sword once more, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that spread across the sky in billions of strands, shaking the long river of time and washing away the ancient and the modern.
Once again, Gu Xian’er clashed with her opponents, sword energy and sword light raging throughout the shattered universe.
The Dao was obliterated, reduced to ashes in an instant.
’At that moment, even other immortal kings would find themselves in danger if they ventured into this place.
The inexhaustible aura of destruction spread relentlessly, annihilating everything in its path.
The void was already riddled with holes, filled with shattered rift valleys, and the howling winds pierced the very soul.
The two immortal king-level powerhouses from the immortal civilization were both overbearing and powerful.
One wielded a black heavenly sword capable of severing the light of the vast universe.
Its brilliance was endless, descending like an icy autumn wind that swept across the sky, carrying an air of destruction.
The other was no less formidable; with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a barrage of terrifying techniques that flew across the sky, annihilating time and space as they directly targeted Gu Xian’er, revealing his murderous intent.
The overwhelming laws of the Immortal King suddenly descended upon the battlefield.
In an instant, the battlefield was flooded with energy, causing the endless void to erupt suddenly.
Then came another slash, peculiar in nature; the aura seemed to emerge from the long river of time, releasing the immortal will and killing intent of the Immortal King, shaking the entire world!
The two Immortal Kings had known each other for many years, often discussing strategies to cooperate and combat their enemies.
Together, they could even contend against three Immortal Kings of the same level.
Gu Xian’er frowned as she found herself in a perilous situation.
She quickly retreated toward the vast universe behind her, covering hundreds of millions of miles in an instant.
However, the lethal attacks from the two Immortal Kings pursued her relentlessly, causing the star fields along her path to explode and collapse in a devastating manner.
The entire universe was on the brink of explosion, unable to withstand such catastrophic aftermath.
“I warned you not to be brave!
If something happens to you, Gu Changge will undoubtedly obliterate my true soul!
”Da Hong exclaimed, fear evident in its humanized eyes.
Gu Xian’er had no time to heed its words; she unleashed a series of Dao runes, each as large as a star, in an attempt to counter the ultimate moves of the two Immortal Kings.
However, these opponents were significantly stronger than any she had faced before, giving her the unsettling impression that they were approaching the quasi-Immortal Emperor level.
Under the full force of their assault, other Immortal Kings were reduced to blood mist, exploding in an instant.
If it weren’t for Gu Xian’er’s extraordinary strength, far surpassing that of ordinary Immortal Kings, she would have sustained injuries long ago.
From the heavenly tomb, many of the divine weapons she had acquired were summoned at this moment, but most shattered upon contact.
Pagodas and ancient tripods transformed into brilliant divine lights, launching a counterattack against the two powerful foes.
Boom!!!
The universe trembled as the black sword light sliced through the air, causing the divine weapons to explode one after another, turning into powder and dissipating.
“Where do you think you’re escaping to?
”The Immortal King who had struck bore a cold expression, with what appeared to be massive stars spinning in his eyes, capable of obliterating everything in their path.
It was imperative for them to prevent Gu Xian’er from completing her transformation, so they exerted their full strength at that moment, even sacrificing their own Immortal King divine weapons, unleashing terrifying fluctuations of power.
“Puff…”Gu Xian’er coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her blood-stained skirt appeared even more vividly red.
She continued to retreat toward the vast universe behind her, navigating the blurred boundaries of time and space to evade another Immortal King’s ultimate attack.
Many onlookers across the battlefield noticed this scene and expressed their concern.
However, at that moment, they lacked the energy to assist Gu Xian’er; they were like bodhisattvas crossing a river, unable to protect themselves.
The struggle on Gu Xian’er’s side was merely a microcosm of the larger battlefield.
The background of the Dao Chang Realm was far inferior to that of the immortal civilization, and the disparity in the number of powerful beings was glaring, marked by a distinct divide.
The immortal civilization could deploy two or even three of the same level simultaneously to engage against the Dao Chang Realm.
At this moment, even someone with exceptional talent, capable of battling multiple opponents simultaneously, would eventually exhaust themselves.
Meanwhile, the great battle raged on, astonishing in its intensity; the clashes between the Dao Realm existences were beyond the comprehension of cultivators at the Immortal Dao level.
Countless time and space were shattered, and only vague, massive hands could be seen slapping across the sky.
Even the long river of time had evaporated, with fragments of Dao swirling and rushing toward the broken universe.
“Miss Xian’er…”Hei Ming, engaged in combat with his opponent, frowned as he noticed the situation on Gu Xian’er’s side.
“While you fight me, you still have the presence of mind to worry about others?
Focus on your own life and death first,” his opponent sneered, a figure resembling a foreign race who kept their true form hidden behind a flat expression.
They stood in a realm outside the world, a lawless space where the aftermath of their battle could give rise to the powers of both creation and destruction.
As they fought, one could witness the evolution of vast worlds and the collapse of entire universes.
The light of their conflict washed over the entire long river of time, reflecting from ancient times to the present.
This clash transcended Daoism and divine powers; it became utterly unpredictable.
It had the potential to create worlds, as well as to annihilate them.
The world before them appeared intact, but in the eyes of the Dao Realm, it had been reincarnated countless times.
Hei Ming sighed; although Gu Xian’er was in a precarious situation, he had no time to look after her.
Held back by his opponent, he could not offer any assistance.
“Xian’er, it’s best not to be reckless.
When it comes down to it, saving your life is the most important thing,” Da Hong urged, fluttering its wings.
As the spirit of Gu Xian’er’s weapon, it currently lacked the strength to aid her.
Watching the two Immortal Kings attack with renewed vigor made Da Hong increasingly anxious and worried.
Gu Xian’er, however, ignored the warnings, focusing instead on condensing the light of the quasi-Immortal Emperor while deftly evading her opponent’s strikes.
The great universe trembled and began to collapse, quickly torn apart under the impact of the Immortal King.
“I see, you girl, are you willing to risk your own life to draw Gu Changge out?
” Da Hong suddenly realized something and shouted loudly.
Gu Xian’er was on the verge of unleashing her Dao sword when the figure delivering the ultimate blow nearly staggered.
Frustrated by the incessant chatter of the large red bird, she clenched her delicate white fists, wanting to toss it aside.
“Shut up.
I am more than capable of dealing with these two enemies without needing that guy to save me.
But you do remind me of something…” Gu Xian’er lightly scolded Da Hong before muttering under her breath.
Even in the face of such a crisis, she still felt no genuine concern about retreating.
“Wandering without a shadow…”In the next moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes steady, and a drop of bright blood flew from between her eyebrows, landing on the Dao sword she held.
Terrifying rays of light shot up into the sky, as if attempting to tear the world apart.
Without hesitation, Gu Xian’er wielded the Dao sword again, its clang resonating as if it were about to shake the very sky and earth.
At that moment, endless sword shadows emerged from her side—not illusions, but manifestations condensed by the ultimate rules of swordsmanship.
In an instant, countless flying swords crisscrossed through the great universe; some were as red as blood, some as yellow as the morning glow, and others as blue as the sea.
They were as fierce as the sun and as bright as the moon.
Countless sword shadows fell like a rainbow piercing through the universe, densely packed and endless, creating a universe of swords.
“Why did she suddenly become so much stronger?
”The expressions of the two Immortal Kings pursuing her changed, surprised by the girl’s unexpected power.
This great battle in the Dao Chang Realm had expanded from the vast battlefield to encompass all universes and worlds, sparing almost no ethnic group, as they all engaged in the fight.
At that time, at the headquarters of the Heaven Slaying Alliance, on an island bathed in a glowing light and a surge of immortality, “Wang Wushang” sat cross-legged.
The bright light of a quasi-Immortal Emperor emerged from his sea of consciousness, and astonishing changes seemed to unfold throughout his body.
The tragic battle outside appeared to have no effect on him.
“In this conflict, the more people die, the better.
When I come to clean up the mess, I can harness the power of these fallen remnants to restore the vitality of my Underworld Clan…”“It’s time to initiate the grand scheme of seizing the Dao Chang Realm.
”“Wang Wushang” was actually Ni Chen.
He gazed at the scene outside, his expression neutral, neither happy nor sad, as he chose not to engage in the battle.
On this island, many auras comparable to Immortal Kings lay dormant.
In addition, several quasi-Immortal Emperor-level existences sat within the fortress, allowing them to resist any attacks from the army of the Immortal Civilization without fear.
As a Daoist of the Heaven Slaying Alliance, Ni Chen had attracted many ethnic groups over the years, including some super masters who surpassed the Immortal King level.
However, it was unfortunate that there were no existences comparable to the Dao realm nearby at present.
Nonetheless, Ni Chen recognized the optimal opportunity presented by the ongoing battle, where the Immortal Civilization descended to capture the Dao Chang Realm.
With the sky in chaos and all the powerful beings occupied with their opponents, even Gu Wuwang and others had no time to pay him any attention, making it easier for him to execute his plans unnoticed.
Now, with the strength of a quasi-Immortal Emperor, as long as he could completely seize this side of the real world, his power would leap to a level comparable to the Dao realm.
At that time, he would become the new true spirit of the Dao Chang Realm, and the strength he could wield in this realm would be even greater.
After this battle, neither the Dao Chang Realm nor the Immortal Civilization would be at their peak again.
Leveraging the unique talents of the Underworld Clan, Ni Chen could seize the opportunity to capture and refine other existences within the Dao Realm.
As long as he successfully won over even one person, his advantage would soon grow stronger, like a snowball gathering momentum.
“At that time, I will be invincible in this world,” Ni Chen declared, ambition shining in his eyes.
In that moment, his primordial spirit unfurled like a thick fog, enveloping millions of miles in an instant as it began to extend in all directions, taking advantage of the chaos.
The arrangements he had made over the years began to bear fruit.
