I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2283
Chapter 2283: Chapter 2282: Ninth Refinement True Monarch Dies, Rules Disappear
Seeing the current state of Ninth Refinement True Monarch, it seems he’s prepared for mutual destruction.
But Xu Zimei was unmoved.
He merely said calmly, “What of becoming a god?”
“Even gods are nothing but my captives, dead souls beneath my blade.”
To Xu Zimei’s words, Ninth Refinement True Monarch roared in fury.
He charged directly at Xu Zimei.
Around him, nine distinct forces surged like nine great rivers.
This momentary elevation of power was clearly Ninth Refinement True Monarch’s trump card.
Yet to Xu Zimei, it was still akin to an ant.
At most, it could be considered a slightly stronger ant.
But ants remain ants, no matter how they change or struggle, it’s all futile.
Xu Zimei shouted lightly.
With a grasp, a vast force coalesced into a Heaven-covering Great Palm.
This Heaven-covering Great Palm bore an astonishing momentum, falling upon the Ninth Refinement True Monarch amidst the rumbling.
“Boom!” it resounded.
In an instant, all nine rivers were shattered, and Ninth Refinement True Monarch’s figure was slammed into the black mist.
Xu Zimei left no opportunity for the opponent to catch his breath.
The Heaven-covering Great Palm grasped again in the black mist, clutching Ninth Refinement True Monarch like an ant in the palm of his hand.
Ninth Refinement True Monarch struggled frantically.
But unfortunately, all efforts were in vain.
“Who is behind you?” Xu Zimei asked.
He knew it might be tough to get an answer, but he asked nonetheless.
Ninth Refinement True Monarch laughed loudly, “Don’t delude yourself, I won’t tell you anything.”
“It’s just a pity that I have lurked for so long, yet ultimately failed to achieve my goal.”
“Even if you kill me, you should tell me your name.”
To Ninth Refinement True Monarch’s words, Xu Zimei sneered coldly.
Even if the other didn’t say, he could guess.
Apart from the Holy Court, who else dare offend the Netherworld Realm like this?
He said calmly, “I thought your Holy Court people would be familiar with me, you are indeed an anomaly.”
“Demon Lord, have you heard of this name.”
Upon hearing these words, Ninth Refinement True Monarch broke into a cold sweat immediately, ceasing his struggle.
Of course, he knew Demon Lord; who in the entire Holy Court hasn’t heard of Demon Lord’s name?
The so-called great threat to the Holy Ancestor’s heart.
It’s likely the Holy Ancestor dreams of eliminating Demon Lord.
However, Ninth Refinement True Monarch was not responsible for Xu Zimei’s affairs, so his knowledge was limited.
Yet thinking now about the person before him being the one who once ruled the whole world.
He suddenly felt justified in dying.
“Demon Lord, you can only hide and dodge, one day you’ll be caught by our Holy Court,” Ninth Refinement True Monarch said coldly.
“That day won’t be long, but it won’t be me being caught by the Holy Court; rather, I’ll go to the Holy Court voluntarily.
Then destroy it.”
Xu Zimei said calmly.
“But these things you won’t get to see.”
“You could only say you were unlucky to meet me here; otherwise, you might have really discovered the secrets here.”
“What secret exactly is here?” Ninth Refinement True Monarch still asked defiantly.
“You can wallow in regret in Hell,” Xu Zimei said calmly.
“Perhaps if you return here after death, you might discover it.”
With his words finished, Xu Zimei showed no mercy.
Directly crushed Ninth Refinement True Monarch in the void.
Erased both the body and the Divine Soul entirely.
Leaving no chance for resurrection.
After all, the Holy Court and he were mortal enemies, destined for a non-peaceful resolution.
Showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.
……
Meanwhile, within the scroll of the rules of heaven and earth.
The scholarly man in white seemed to sense something.
His expression suddenly changed drastically.
“What’s wrong?” the Lord of the Dead Spirits asked calmly beside him.
“You miscalculated!”
“What is it in the depths of that black mist?” the scholarly man in white asked while staring intently at the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Just now, the life essence of Ninth Refinement True Monarch had disappeared.
It is known that a strong figure like those of the Holy Court always leaves a trace of soul on the Life Lamp.
If death occurs, the Life Lamp will extinguish immediately too.
Person dies, lamp extinguishes, it is so.
Just now, the scholarly man in white knew the Life Lamp had gone out.
Because that was his body’s transmitted information, and it couldn’t be wrong.
Yet with Ninth Refinement True Monarch’s power, few exist that could kill him.
Even if he couldn’t win, he could escape.
But Ninth Refinement True Monarch died so decisively, without even a chance to flee.
This shows Ninth Refinement True Monarch must have encountered something extremely terrifying, making it impossible for him to escape.
Or rather, Ninth Refinement True Monarch was simply crushed.
He wanted to escape but couldn’t.
He looked at the Lord of the Dead Spirits, feeling the irritation of miscalculation.
Especially as the Holy Court lost a great leader again.
The affairs of the Netherworld Realm had been planned for a long time.
For the scholarly man’s anger, the Lord of the Dead Spirits burst into laughter.
He believed in Xu Zimei.
He understood Xu Zimei’s strength better than anyone.
Unless the Holy Ancestor personally came, others were akin to ants.
However, among the Nine Domains, each Domain Master had an alliance agreement.
If the Holy Ancestor dared to come personally, the other domains would all come too.
This was an alliance formed by several domains for self-preservation.
After all, the principle of ‘lips close, teeth cold’ is well understood; the Holy Court is too strong, only by uniting with several other domains can there be a chance to counter.
Otherwise, if they get defeated one by one, it’s not beneficial for anyone.
That’s why, even though the Holy Court was suspicious, without concrete evidence, they dared not act recklessly.
Only through such means could they probe the Netherworld Realm.
To the words of the scholarly man in white, the Lord of the Dead Spirits certainly wouldn’t reveal information about Xu Zimei.
He merely said, “You think you can control everything, yet the world is full of uncertainties.”
“Can you truly discern who is the pawn or the player?”
He looked up at the rules above.
Time is running out, and the rules are about to break.
After all, those deceived into coming here have forged the rules with their lives.
But lives inevitably end, and rules will eventually disperse.
One can only say these people are pitiful.
For their loved ones, they were not wrong.
But they were too foolish.
How can the dead come back to life?
If it were that easy, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
How many cultivators have sought immortality? So many have tried and failed, none have succeeded.
Too foolish, their obsessions too strong.
At this moment, as the rules shatter, the figure of the scholarly man in white also gradually fades.
He himself was not a real person.
Just a false body.
Now that the time has come, even if the Lord of the Dead Spirits does nothing, he could not remain any longer.
“We will meet again, by then, everything will be destroyed.”
The scholarly man in white threatened.
“You’re wrong, you’re not invincible, there is something in this world that you cannot destroy.”
The Lord of the Dead Spirits dismissed disdainfully.
“Those words should be spoken by the Heavenly Dao, you puppets lack the qualification.”
