I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2379
Chapter 2379: Chapter 2378: Death of the Fire God, Emergence of the Meteorite
Only to see the heart chamber walls around them.
Beginnings had figures break through the walls and walk out.
These figures were somewhat humanoid, but flames were burning fiercely on their bodies.
These were none other than fire people.
Upon their appearance, the high temperature of flames within the mausoleum noticeably increased.
Xu Zimei had no doubts that if Old Ghost and the others entered, their bodies would melt into slurry like ice blocks in an instant.
The high temperature of flames was indeed terrifying.
This point alone revealed the danger level of this mausoleum.
Just the high temperature alone could stop ninety-nine percent of people from entering.
Watching as Xu Zimei was unaffected by the high temperature.
These fire people began to get angry and charged towards Xu Zimei.
These fire people were quite unique.
They weren’t of the same flame.
Rather, in the eons, the Fire God had gathered countless different fires.
Take the fire person before him, for instance, it was the Black Crow Demon Fire.
Beside it were the Earth Lotus Core Flame, Mirage Ancient Fire…
Every flame was constantly changing.
Each had a different attack method, making it difficult for one to cope.
Some flames were scorching hot and intense as the sun.
Yet they could freeze people, casting them into icy depths.
Facing so many flames all attacking him, Xu Zimei remained calm.
Because he once received the inheritance of the Ancient God Zhu Rong.
It could be said that in this domain of fire, he had traveled farther than the Fire God.
He could see the core of these flames at a glance.
Many fires but none refined, abundant but not cohesive.
It could be said only the quantity was pursued, not quality.
To truly control all flames, you must fuse them all together.
To make each flame feel your presence and truly submit.
Becoming a sea of fire, that is the true path of flames.
Walking on the path of fire, merging into the flame.
Of course, the Fire God walked the wrong path.
How many flames are there in heaven and earth?
How could they all be collected by humans?
So when all these flames rushed over, Zimei was enveloped by Zhu Rong’s Flame.
On this flame, other different fires couldn’t harm Xu Zimei.
Instead, these different fires started to merge into the flames on Xu Zimei’s body.
After a while, the number of fire people drastically decreased.
Suddenly, a regretful sigh echoed all around.
“Wrong, wrong, all wrong.”
As this voice fell, Xu Zimei’s gaze immediately turned towards the depths.
The fire elements around began to gather.
A human face emerged from the midst of them.
“Outsider, or should I call you tomb raider.”
“Don’t you think disturbing the grave of the deceased is a very bad thing?”
“Doesn’t matter, anyway, I’m not a moral person, dead is dead,” Xu Zimei said calmly.
“I need the Void Stone, if you give it to me, I’ll consider not damaging your grave.”
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll both go down together?” the Fire God said coldly.
“You’re already dead, how can you go down with me?” Xu Zimei replied.
“Besides, if you could really deal with me, how could this remaining consciousness voluntarily appear?”
“The fire you just used…” the Fire God sighed heavily again.
“I saw a brand new way of controlling fire, so I couldn’t help but appear to ask.”
“Does it matter?” Xu Zimei asked.
“You’re already dead, even if you’re shown a broader path, upon seeing a thoroughfare, what can you do?”
“This is my obsession, I just wish to rest in peace after death,” the Fire God replied.
“I want to see what the end of what I’ve pursued all my life looks like.”
“Five Organs Smelting Furnace, merge with fire,” Xu Zimei uttered nine great words.
Like enlightenment, the Fire God’s face drastically changed in an instant.
“Just this, just this?”
“I’ve pursued this all my life, only to find out such a simple truth.”
The Fire God’s emotions became incredibly unstable.
But Xu Zimei remained very calm.
Is it simple?
Indeed, it sounds simple.
Even many things, when spoken aloud, seem easily done.
It’s merely an issue of lips meeting lips.
But then, living by doing.
When you personally undertake it and truly realize it, it becomes as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Xu Zimei could very well understand the Fire God’s feelings.
He gave everything, pursued all his life, unafraid of hardships, only to look back and realize he walked the wrong path.
Ending up in a dead end, doing futile work.
Everything then seems meaningless.
At this moment, the state of the Fire God’s remnant consciousness was extremely unstable.
Even somewhat hideous, the entire mausoleum became turbulent.
Seeing the opponent gradually losing reason.
Xu Zimei couldn’t be bothered to wait anymore.
“Being but a remnant consciousness, dying along with your original form is your greatest destiny.”
Xu Zimei extended a hand, a powerful force roaring in his palm.
In the next moment, he threw a punch.
The roaring force surged forward, completely annihilating everything of the Fire God.
……
In the next moment, the entire mausoleum of the Fire God experienced upheaval.
This mausoleum was originally inside the mouth of a Fire Dragon.
Such great upheaval now caused the Fire Dragon to awaken.
Xu Zimei looked at the Void Stones before him, and directly swept them all into his pouch with his right hand.
Then, he raised his long knife and fiercely slashed at the wall of the dragon body chamber beside him.
……
Outside, accompanied by the Fire Dragon’s roar.
The sky-high flames illuminated the firmament.
Only to see the firmament dyed in a blood-red hue.
Fire Dragon roared, as its massive body slowly rose.
“Not good, quickly leave,” Old Ghost shouted towards Xu Sanduo.
“With the Fire Dragon awake, everything around will turn into a sea of fire, linger a moment longer and we’re doomed here.”
“What about the master?” Xu Sanduo urgently asked.
“The master’s affairs require no worry, what exactly he did inside, to cause such a commotion,” Old Ghost replied.
At this moment, a cry of anguish rang out.
The Fire Dragon’s previously imposing aura suddenly dropped.
Only to see the massive dragon body struggle at first.
Then directly collapse to the ground.
Amidst the sky-covering flames, a blade qi soared into the sky.
Tearing open the back of the dragon body.
Under the blood-red firmament, Xu Zimei emerged from the dragon body.
……
“Mas… master, are you all right?” Old Ghost saw the danger passed and quickly advanced.
“A dead being, what danger can it pose?” Xu Zimei countered.
“Master surely gained substantial harvests this time,” Old Ghost laughed.
Xu Zimei nodded slightly.
Managed to gather quite a bit of artifact refining materials, indeed a good harvest.
But he hadn’t forgotten the true purpose of coming to these Divine Ruins.
He then said, “You mentioned before that the meteorite fell in the Divine Emperor’s Mausoleum, which direction is it in?”
“Mas… master, what do you intend?” Old Ghost asked, somewhat shocked.
