I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2264
Chapter 2264: Chapter 2263: Journey to the Netherworld Realm, Establishing Overwhelming Prestige
Seeing Xu Zimei retract his sword, many hurriedly withdrew their gaze.
On guard, like obedient students listening to a lecture.
Xu Zimei did not concern himself with others.
This single strike was enough to shock everyone present.
In the future, anyone who thinks the True Martial Holy Sect has become a pushover due to the departure of the True Martial Great Emperor, and believes they can easily bully it, needs to reconsider.
Xu Zimei lifted his head, gazing toward the firmament above.
The battle between the Great Emperor of the Three Blades and Old Man Taishan, though not yet over, was nearing its end.
Burdened with Mount Tai, Old Man Taishan initially had a heavy aura with an impressive momentum.
But as the two fiercely clashed in high-intensity combat.
Clearly, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades had the upper hand.
His blade intent in hand was not only incredibly sharp but also continuous and unending, like a boundless stream.
No matter how many clashes, he seemed tireless, maintaining peak condition.
Old Man Taishan’s expression had drastically changed.
Realizing that continuing like this would inevitably lead to defeat, he feared the disgrace of years past would reemerge.
Furthermore, this time it might not just leave a scar but could cost his life.
Thinking of this, Old Man Taishan could no longer concern himself with the dignity of a strong warrior or the vows of revenge.
He directly shouted: “Fellow Daoists, lend me a hand.”
In his imagination, for Ten Kings and Two Ancestors to kill a nameless novice was as stable and easily attainable as Mount Tai.
But when he turned his head, his face was filled with horror.
In the void, there were no Ten Kings or Two Ancestors, only faint blood mist lingering from the recent explosion.
Sensing that the life signs of over a dozen people had vanished as well.
Looking down, he saw Xu Zimei smiling calmly and looking at him.
He suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
The next moment, the three flying blades of the Great Emperor of the Three Blades exploded forth with world-ending might.
He rushed to block them but was already too late.
With a “boom,” the three blades pierced through his body.
One blade severed the flesh, one blade sliced the divine soul, and one blade extinguished the true fate.
Thus, with just three blades, Old Man Taishan was directly annihilated.
“In the end, you still turned out to be the ant you once were.”
Drawing his blade and standing firm, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades looked in Xu Zimei’s direction.
Laughing he said: “Looks like you’re much faster than me.”
“It was just a timely epiphany, merely an experiment,” Xu Zimei replied.
The Great Emperor of the Three Blades surveyed the crowd around him.
His tone rose, and he loudly said: “Everyone, these are just small incidents. If there’s been any disturbance, I hope you’ll forgive us.”
“I know among those present today, some have come with sincere congratulations for our True Martial Holy Sect.”
“And some, like the Jade Void and Opening Mountain factions, are opportunists with ulterior motives.”
“I don’t wish to pursue them further; the annihilation of the Jade Void Sect and Opening Mountain Sect is evidence enough.”
“I hope from now on, the Heaven Extreme Realm will be led by our True Martial Holy Sect. What do you all think?”
Hearing the words of the Great Emperor of the Three Blades, most people showed their wisdom, quickly responding.
Shouting: “Three Blades senior is right, we should follow the True Martial Holy Sect to lead our Heaven Extreme Realm to glory.”
“Our Witch Cloud Sect acknowledges only the leadership of the True Martial Holy Sect.”
“Our Rhinoceros Bird Sect feels the same…”
The crowd quickly expressed their allegiance, one after the other, as if fearing they’d end up like the strong warriors who were just killed.
Seeing everyone was so sensible, the Great Emperor of the Three Blades gently waved his hand.
Giving a nod to the Nine Secrets Taoist beside him.
With the matter settled, the remaining diplomatic tasks were left to the Nine Secrets Taoist.
Both he and Xu Zimei departed.
“When do you plan to leave?” the Great Emperor of the Three Blades asked with a smile.
“In a few days, the matters of the True Martial Holy Sect have been resolved, and next I should set out on my journey,” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
“I’ve stayed in the Heaven Extreme Realm long enough.”
“Safe travels,” the Great Emperor of the Three Blades sincerely said.
“You as well,” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
“I hope your path of the blade advances further in the future.”
Before leaving the True Martial Holy Sect, Xu Zimei found Lin Ruhu.
Lin Ruhu’s progress was rapid; he had already achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and was condensing the Three Corpses.
Once the Three Corpses were completed, he would enter the Enlightenment Realm.
Before the Three Corpses, Xu Zimei could help Lin Ruhu.
But after entering the Enlightenment Realm, it would no longer be related to Xu Zimei.
Because the significance of enlightenment differed for everyone.
Everyone’s path was distinct.
Xu Zimei could not interfere with Lin Ruhu’s path.
He wrote down his insights on entering the Three Corpses Realm and gave them to Lin Ruhu.
The Three Corpses Realm, in a nutshell, represents past, present, and future.
Once you grasp the essence of time and fate.
You can attain this eternal power.
“Brother Zimo, when will I be qualified to follow your side?”
Lin Ruhu asked.
“With the Three Corpses or perhaps Enlightenment?”
“Rest assured, when it comes to the final battle with the Holy Court, I’ll surely bring you along,” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.
“For now, your main task is to quickly breakthrough to the Enlightenment Realm.”
“Find your own path to have the qualification to challenge the heavens.”
“If the path ahead is unclear, challenging the heavens would be meaningless.”
“I understand,” Lin Ruhu said firmly, clenching his fists.
“The next time we meet, I will definitely reach the Enlightenment Realm.”
“After I leave, you’ll follow Three Blades Taoist Friend for cultivation,” Xu Zimei said.
“Although you do not walk the path of the blade, the Great Dao is connected, and his enlightenment experience is enough for you to learn from.”
“I understand,” Lin Ruhu nodded.
He said: “Actually, during this time with the True Martial Holy Sect, I’ve consulted with various elders.
The path of the Three Corpses has become clear to me, just needing accumulation.”
Xu Zimei nods slightly.
After staying at the True Martial Holy Sect for several more days.
He prepared to set out for the Netherworld Realm.
However, he did not tell anyone, only the Great Emperor of the Three Blades came to see him off.
Since the passage between the Nine Domains were connected, interaction between the domains had increased.
On his way to the Netherworld Realm, Xu Zimei encountered many people.
This caused him to furrow his brow slightly.
It should be known that the Netherworld Realm is unlike the others.
Since the Nine Domains became linked, it was understandable for many people to travel to other realms, as the others were unrestricted.
But the Netherworld Realm itself doesn’t permit the living to enter.
Only the dead can come here.
The dominator of the Netherworld Realm, the Lord of the Dead Spirits, is setting up a great scheme.
Last time when Xu Zimei visited the Netherworld Realm, he actually sensed some of it.
But he did not reveal it.
Firstly, it was unrelated to him.
Secondly, his strength was limited at that time, so there was no need to provoke the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Yet now, revisiting the realm, many matters should be clarified with transparency.
To return to the topic.
Seeing so many head to the Netherworld Realm piqued Xu Zimei’s interest.
He casually picked out a youth.
