I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2248

“What… what exactly is that?”

Someone pointed at the firmament, dumbfounded.

The outline of the Yuan Central Continent had already appeared, leaving aside other continents for the moment.

People from the Heaven Extreme Realm only had to look up to see clearly.

It was like a planet descending upon them.

The overwhelming sense of oppression and shock was unparalleled.

It was as if you were standing beneath, facing an entire planet head-on.

That’s a kind of shock that words cannot describe.

To mortals, it was more about panic.

Even the low-level cultivators could not access more secret information.

“Is this the end of the world, or is there another reason?”

“The grain prices in the city have surged, and you say this colossal thing will descend, and everyone might just perish.

What use is glory and wealth then?”

“I heard that East City is already in chaos, with rumors saying that the heaven phenomenon is in disarray, and the world is doomed.

There’s no need to worry about order and law; it’s the last celebration.”

“Madness, all of them are mad.”

This was the reaction of common people; some were anxious, while others took advantage of the chaos to achieve their own goals.

As for some of the powerful beings,

They actually had speculations before.

Alternatively, the True Martial Great Emperor had never intended to hide his intention to challenge Heaven.

Therefore, many of the powerful ones knew.

Everyone paid particular attention to this matter.

After all, for several eras, no one had dared to challenge Heaven.

Even though some had an inner longing, they dared not take this step.

Especially those who had reached the Three Corpses Realm or even attained Enlightenment.

They could feel the confusion of the path ahead.

It felt like they had reached the end of the road.

An invisible membrane seemed to block their progress overhead.

But they couldn’t pierce it.

Because that would mean initiating a battle against Heaven, and no one had the courage to face the Heavenly Dao directly.

This was one of the main reasons,

And also because of the sheer size of the Nine Domains World.

Enlightenment was the ultimate limit.

To break through this limit, one had to leave the Nine Domains World.

In millions of years, no one had managed this.

So many turned their eyes to the True Martial Great Emperor to see how far he could go.

Many, although fearing to challenge Heaven themselves, actually hoped that the True Martial Great Emperor would succeed.

At least it would show everyone hope.

If he could slay the Heavenly Dao and open the gates of the Nine Domains World, that would be ideal.

…

At this moment, when the Yuan Central Continent had completely stabilized,

The True Martial Great Emperor took a deep breath, appearing very excited.

Even though he had rehearsed many times before and prepared countless contingencies,

When it was truly executed successfully, the feeling was different.

Beside him, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades and the Divine Travel Great Emperor were also very excited.

“Ancestor, shall we open the Yuan Central Continent now?” the Great Emperor of the Three Blades asked.

The True Martial Great Emperor nodded.

He looked up at the firmament, only to see that it remained absolutely calm.

The Heavenly Dao seemed indifferent, allowing things to unfold.

But the True Martial Great Emperor understood that the Heavenly Dao would not let it go easily.

“Once the Yuan Central Continent is opened, countless natives will enter the Nine Domains World.”

“I fear that in the coming time, the Nine Domains World will become lively, especially our Heaven Extreme Realm.”

The Divine Travel Great Emperor chuckled by his side.

The True Martial Great Emperor didn’t say much, just quickly forming seals with his hands.

A mighty aura erupted around him.

This was no ordinary aura; it spread like the vast, boundless power of the Great Dao.

Within this power of the Great Dao, a figure seemed to appear indistinctly.

It was a giant.

A giant with its head reaching the firmament and feet stepping into the Netherworld.

Though blurry, the aura emanating from this giant was astonishing to all.

Moreover, the power of the Great Dao charged straight into the sky, stirring the entire chill of the heavens, as if it could annihilate everything.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that the giant bore several resemblances to the True Martial Great Emperor.

“True Martial True Fate.”

This was the True Fate of the True Martial Great Emperor.

A person’s True Fate constitutes one of his greatest sources of power.

Generally speaking, it would take the form of what one is most familiar with.

Some engrave blades and swords, some the sun and moon, and others storms and lightning.

The True Martial Great Emperor, however, engraved himself into his True Fate.

“I am my True Fate!”

This approach has its pros and cons.

The advantage is unparalleled control and familiarity with one’s True Fate.

Furthermore, the True Fate grows alongside oneself.

However, the downside is equally apparent.

When facing a formidable adversary and needing to draw upon the force of True Fate, there may be no force to borrow.

For instance, in this Heaven-challenging battle,

The True Martial Great Emperor needed to transform his True Fate to the Yuan Central Continent.

Only then could he differentiate from the Nine Domains World in terms of power.

Rather than being forever confined within the Nine Domains World.

When the True Martial Great Emperor’s True Fate appeared, it transformed into a stream of light, directly extending to the Yuan Central Continent.

Subsequently, the True Martial True Fate seemed to establish some special connection with the Yuan Central Continent.

The True Martial Great Emperor sat cross-legged.

The transformation of the True Fate began, forging a bridge between heaven and earth.

This was the Bridge of True Fate.

This period marked the True Martial Great Emperor’s most vulnerable time.

If the Heavenly Dao wished to attack, it would undoubtedly choose this moment.

The Great Emperor of the Three Blades and other patriarchs stood vigilantly.

They guarded the perimeter to prevent any disturbance to the True Martial Great Emperor.

Yet, the firmament remained eerily silent.

As if the Heavenly Dao tacitly approved this act in the shadows.

Nonetheless, the unfathomable will of Heaven made no one dare to wager on it.

Xu Zimei emerged from the Divine Continent, stepping into the air, arriving before the True Martial Great Emperor.

“Your presence eases our burden significantly,” the Divine Travel Great Emperor laughed.

“Whether I was here or not, I believe True Martial Taoist Friend would have already arranged everything,” Xu Zimei said.

“When the Yuan Central Continent is opened, should any issues with order arise, we will need your assistance, Eternal Ancient Taoist Friend.”

“Certainly,” Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He said, “I was hoping the Heavenly Dao might take action at this moment, but it seems they’re very cautious.”

“The Heavenly Dao perceives all, and I fear it has already arranged everything,” the Great Emperor of the Three Blades said.

Though the Heavenly Dao doesn’t belong to the realm of life,

It has witnessed countless developments and changes over the eons.

Its wisdom has long surpassed the domain of humans.

Thus, no one dared to underestimate the intelligence of the Heavenly Dao.

Every step it takes is backed by endless calculations.

The True Martial Great Emperor began to alter his Destiny, and this process lasted for three full days.

During these three days, many powerful beings learned of this event.

Countless individuals also flocked from all directions, just to gradually witness this once-in-a-millennium event.

Finally, on the evening of the third day,

Suddenly, a bright light surged up from the firmament.
