I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2258
Chapter 2258: Chapter 2257: Heaven Challenge Begins, Reactions from All Sides
Not only did it encompass the Yuan Central Continent, but even Empress Hongtian was included.
It seems the True Martial Great Emperor has made thorough preparations for this Heavenly Conquest.
To put it bluntly, compared to past Heaven Challengers, the True Martial Great Emperor’s preparations are evidently more thorough and formidable.
He has made the best preparations he could possibly make.
“The Dao of Body Integration, this path is indeed interesting; probably no one ever imagined it before.”
Xu Zimei said.
“I hope you can truly succeed this time.”
“Then I shall take your kind words,” the True Martial Great Emperor replied with a smile.
“I plan to set off in a week. Since Tiandao has declared a challenge, we cannot shy from battle.”
“I am ready, anytime,” Empress Hongtian replied firmly.
Afterward, Xu Zimei did not disturb Empress Hongtian further.
Empress Hongtian possesses a resolute and indestructible Daoist Heart.
She endures solitude and withstands loneliness.
After all, for Xu Zimei, staying in one place motionlessly for tens of millions of years is not his path.
Even he would probably find it tasteless.
After leaving the Original Point of the World.
Xu Zimei and the True Martial Great Emperor parted ways.
The True Martial Great Emperor would certainly be very busy next.
To prepare for Heavenly Conquest, the subsequent work would be hectic.
Xu Zimei, in contrast, became the most idle among them.
After leaving the Heaven Extreme Realm, he planned to head to the Netherworld Realm above.
That is the world of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Xu Zimei actually has a bit of relationship with the Lord of the Dead Spirits, and they are somewhat familiar.
Crossing over the Hundred Million Daos is not easy.
But in climbing step by step toward the Holy Court, Xu Zimei uses these challenges as momentum.
Every battle is a way to accumulate momentum.
Until finally, with an invincible aura, he engages in a full-scale war against the Holy Court.
…
In the coming days.
The atmosphere of the True Martial Holy Sect noticeably changed.
The chosen participants for the Heavenly Conquest were almost decided.
The True Martial Great Emperor and Empress Hongtian were naturally a given, and definitely would go.
The Divine Travel Great Emperor would also go to perfect his Dao.
After all, the Divine Travel Great Emperor’s Dao is to imprint the entire world, to travel every corner of the world.
Now, the only world he has not been to is where the Great Dao resides.
So even if it means death, the Divine Travel Great Emperor will still go.
Perhaps this is what a true idealist is.
Not for Heavenly Conquest, but for his Dao.
The Great Emperor of the Three Blades wanted to go as well, but considering the aftermath work of the True Martial Holy Sect.
After all, if suddenly all the strong ones left, this vast cake of the True Martial Holy Sect would become a coveted existence for many.
So someone must stay and guard it.
And the Great Emperor of the Three Blades was the best candidate.
Xu Zimei, because he was leaving the Heaven Extreme Realm, could not stay here.
The Great Emperor of the Three Blades’ path was nearing its end.
He was not suited for Heavenly Conquest; he was more suitable to find a place to retire.
To slowly ponder over his blade path.
To see if, in his lifetime, he can take another step forward.
At least now the Great Emperor of the Three Blades has reached a point where there’s not much future left.
Apart from these few strong ones, there were also some scattered strong individuals from the True Martial Holy Sect going.
And secretly, the True Martial Great Emperor cultivated a Heavenly Conquest army.
This is a group of Azure Dragon Army wearing Azure Dragon Battle Armor, with an imposing aura.
They were nurtured by the True Martial Great Emperor, and they would open the path in this Heavenly Conquest.
The Azure Dragon Army had a strong presence.
They practiced a cultivation technique of body unity, presumably a unique creation by the True Martial Great Emperor.
The Azure Dragon Army numbered ten thousand, but everyone’s moves, demeanor, breathing, and gaze were nearly identical.
At a certain moment, these ten thousand gave an illusion as if they were all the same.
Their magnificent aura, upon appearing, suppressed a vast expanse of void.
Their appearance brought a shiver of immense power felt by countless people below.
……
A week later.
The True Martial Great Emperor gathered all the people.
With powerful forces surging from his hands.
Amidst the roaring power, the Conquest weapon of the True Martial Great Emperor, the True Martial Sword, slashed toward the sky above, the Gate of Heavenly Start.
The challenge laid by Tiandao, the True Martial Great Emperor naturally accepted.
“Today marks the beginning of my True Martial’s Heavenly Conquest; every realm across the Nine Domains shall remember this day.”
At that moment, the voice of the True Martial Great Emperor spread throughout the Nine Domains World.
Countless powerhouses fixed their gaze here.
Within the Holy Court, divine might surged, and powerhouses were like clouds, exerting overwhelming pressure.
The Holy Ancestor sat inside the grand hall, his gaze permeating through the Nine Domains, seemingly upon the True Martial Great Emperor.
“Holy Ancestor, should we not prevent it?” a powerhouse inquired.
“Follow the guidance of Tiandao, refrain from acting rashly, refrain from arrogance,” the Holy Ancestor replied calmly.
He was a puppet fostered by Tiandao.
He knew this, yet he was content to be this puppet.
After all, aside from Tiandao, he was a supreme existence second to none.
Surely countless would willingly assume his position.
“For millions of years, the equilibrium is now disrupted by these variables again.”
The Holy Ancestor murmured to himself.
Initially, he believed the last Demon Lord was the greatest foe.
After the Demon Lord’s death, Tiandao left instructions, specifying a new Demon Lord would arise.
He thought the newborn Demon King was the greatest adversary.
Unexpectedly, the aberration, the True Martial Great Emperor, emerged.
Surpassing Xu Zimei, he unexpectedly opened the Gate of Heavenly Conquest.
This surprised many, including the Holy Court unprepared.
They had no preparations for this moment.
Because their target was the Demon Lord.
“The legacy of the Ancient God is well hidden; if the Demon Lord seeks the Ancient Demon Cave, he will certainly come,” the Holy Ancestor instructed.
“Rest assured, unless we all perish, he will never obtain it,” someone replied nearby.
Apart from the Holy Court, numerous powerhouses in other realms also focused on the Heaven Extreme Realm.
The Lord of the Dead Spirits of the Netherworld Realm,
The Candle Dragon of the Blazing Flame Realm.
The Thousand Calamities Doomsday of the Ghost God Realm.
And even the Sixteen Monster Race of the Cangxuan Realm.
Among these domains, each represents the pinnacle of combat power.
They want to observe this new Heaven Challenger.
In truth, they also entertain thoughts of challenging the heavens, as they are already at the summit.
Yet, none dared truly take this step.
This requires immense courage.
If your strength doesn’t reach that level, attempting a Heavenly Conquest might mean Tiandao entirely ignoring you.
The Holy Court would directly resolve you.
But the True Martial Great Emperor is different; his power was acknowledged by Tiandao.
The Gate of Heavenly Start opened for him.
At this moment in the True Martial Holy Sect, the True Martial Great Emperor in a white robe, wielding the True Martial Sword, stepped towards the firmament.
Every step he took resonated with formidable momentum.
Every step was the roaring of a force enough to shatter heaven and earth.
Before this power, no one could obstruct it.
