I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2378
Chapter 2378: Chapter 2377: The Life of the Fire God, Lord of Ten Thousand Flames
Old Ghost continues to lead the way ahead.
He has realized that Xu Zimei’s strength is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
His own worries are nothing but unnecessary self-pity.
Everyone continues to move forward, encountering many white bone creatures along the way.
These white bone creatures would be absolutely lethal to others.
But in Xu Zimei’s hands, they are crushed like toys.
Just like the White Bone Kylin we encountered on the road, the Kylin charged forward, stepping on void.
Clearly it’s a terrifying existence, Old Ghost even felt like the other could crush him with a single step.
Yet, Xu Zimei merely needed one palm strike.
To shatter the White Bone Kylin into pieces.
No matter how dangerous the existence encountered along the way, they seem unable to withstand the might of Xu Zimei’s palm.
This made Old Ghost’s heart race fearfully.
He feels the greatest terror is right beside him.
His attitude thus becomes even more respectful.
Before climbing the mountain, Xu Zimei saw the Tomb of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Monarch at the foot of the mountain.
However, this tomb had already been looted by Old Ghost once before, leaving nothing valuable.
And the mountain ahead is like a Flame Mountain.
The entire mountain is fiery red, like a burning sea of fire.
Stepping on it, one can even feel a scorching heat.
Moreover, the higher one climbs, the more intense this heat becomes.
Xu Sanduo was even unable to bear it, sweating profusely as if it were raining.
Only after being protected by the Power of the Great Dao from Xu Zimei did things get much better.
“Thank you, sir,” Xu Sanduo said apologetically.
“Once this matter is over, cultivate well. I hope one day you will be renowned in the world,” Xu Zimei said calmly.
Xu Sanduo’s gaze was firm as he nodded heavily.
Following Xu Zimei all this way, he has encountered many powerful beings and experienced so much, only then accurately perceiving his own weakness.
So the desire to cultivate in his heart grew even stronger.
…
Finally, they safely reached the Flame Mountain.
Contrary to most mountain peaks which are convex, the Flame Mountain is concave.
Like the bottom of a round basin.
The Fire God’s tomb lies in this basin.
Surrounded by lush trees, each one is fiery red.
Inside the forest, a creature that resembles a Flame Dragon lies there, eyes closed as if asleep.
The Fire Dragon’s mouth is open, and the mouth happens to be the entrance to the Fire God’s tomb.
“Sir, I can only lead you here,” Old Ghost said.
He still remembers the dangers he encountered in the Fire God’s tomb; it even became a lifelong shadow.
Tormented by heat every night.
This feeling is, frankly speaking, more unbearable than death.
So, after bringing Xu Zimei to the destination, Old Ghost does not wish to enter again.
Xu Zimei understands and does not insist.
He also looks at Xu Sanduo and says, “You and Old Ghost, both wait outside while I go in and take a look.”
“Yes, sir, be careful,” Xu Sanduo and Old Ghost replied.
…
The closer one gets to the entrance of the tomb, the greater the sense of oppression.
Like a Divine Dragon is truly watching you, wanting to devour you whole.
Although the Divine Dragon sleeps, its dragon aura remains.
It’s hard to imagine someone burying their tomb in the belly of the Divine Dragon.
But Xu Zimei does not care.
He strides forward, directly walking into the belly of the Divine Dragon.
Upon entering, it feels like the world is turned upside down, entering into a void space.
If a person without strong power enters the void space, they would be misplaced in time and space, exiled endlessly without escaping.
Even Old Ghost was injured by fire at this step previously and had to escape with his life.
When the inversion of space appears.
Xu Zimei finds himself surrounded by countless fire dragons.
Fiery pillars spew from the mouths of fire dragons.
These flames are explosively fierce; even a touch can annihilate everything instantly.
Seeing these flames and the inverted void.
Xu Zimei immediately understands.
These are heartfires.
Not real flames, but flames formed from inner fears of the unknown.
These flames attack the mind, thereby harming the body.
Watching the fiery pillars fall, seemingly melting the Firmament.
Yet Xu Zimei does not evade.
He strides forward, allowing flames to fall upon him.
The so-called heartfire only affects those who fear; if one is fearlessness, they naturally aren’t endangered by these flames.
Once Xu Zimei walks a few steps in, the fire dragons realize it’s useless and roar in dissatisfaction.
Gradually, the scene before him fades.
When Xu Zimei’s vision clears, he finds himself at the dragon’s throat.
Here are winding paths.
Simply put, it’s the throat.
Xu Zimei continues walking forward; he senses the location of the Void Stones.
His Divine Sense extends, controlling the scenes within the Fire God’s tomb.
Shortly after, a fire sea surges from the depths of the tomb.
Xu Zimei knows these are true flames.
Flames that can incinerate and vaporize a person.
But Xu Zimei remains unconcerned.
He walks forward, letting these flames continuously burn his body.
Yet Xu Zimei’s body has long been powerful to the point of being nearly impervious to harm.
Even if he does nothing and stands there, anyone below Enlightenment could hardly harm him.
…
Crossing the fire sea, Xu Zimei reaches the Fire Dragon’s heart.
Here stands a tombstone.
The tombstone of the Fire God, detailing the Fire God’s life story.
The Fire God is indeed a mighty existence among Divine Monarchs.
Xu Zimei looks toward the end of the heart.
There he sees countless Void Stones at the end.
Embedded in the void, densely packed, numbering at least a thousand.
Xu Zimei learns through the Fire God’s life story on the tombstone that these Void Stones belonged to the Fire God.
They were gathered throughout his life, searching high and low to amass so many.
Because the Fire God’s cultivation was different.
He focused primarily on innate flames, supplemented by Void Stones.
One could say, each Void Stone contained different exotic flames.
His dream was to become the true Fire God, conquer all flames, and ultimately be master of a myriad of fires.
Unfortunately, before realizing this great ambition, the Fire God sensed his life’s end approaching.
Yet he didn’t want to leave these Void Stones for the Divine Race.
Even upon death, they stayed in his tomb.
This was the Fire God’s integrity.
Seeing so many Void Stones, Xu Zimei knows these materials are sufficient for crafting.
“Boom, boom.” Suddenly, strange sounds come from the side.
