I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2245 - 2244: Deception of Heaven's Path, Fake Divine Soul of Death

A dragon serpent remains a dragon serpent. Perhaps future opportunities will allow it to evolve into a True Dragon.

There's no sense in dwelling on this matter now.

The aura emanating from Supreme Nine Suns feels quite formidable, even to him.

"Friend Nine Suns, this old Shen is reluctant to continue this fight.

I am willing to compensate for any losses you may have incurred this time."

Serpent Musk Granny believed offering a way out would suffice.

However, the response from Supreme Nine Suns was entirely unexpected.

"Serpent Musk, since the battle has been joined, why speak of leaving?"

"I shall face all three of you alone today, without retreat. Are you afraid?"

The words uttered by Supreme Nine Suns stirred some anger within Serpent Musk Granny.

She then heard the other party declare, "Nine Suns, though your power has undeniably grown, the three of us joining forces would certainly not leave us weaker than you."

"If this confrontation persists, this entire forest will be annihilated. Is that your desired outcome?"

Though Serpent Musk Granny's words were measured, a subtle threat was detectable.

Supreme Nine Suns let out a cold laugh. "Serpent Musk, you are as audacious as this Nether King.

Do you truly believe I am still on the same level as you are now?"

"Dispatching you would be akin to slaughtering mere dogs."

"Excellent, most excellent!" Serpent Musk Granny's imposing aura began to surge.

It was evident that Supreme Nine Suns' declaration had deeply offended her.

Regardless of how base the methods, Serpent Musk had long been recognized as a formidable powerhouse. To endure such an insult without striking back would render her a laughingstock.

At this precise moment, her physical form underwent another transformation.

Having originally been a colossal serpent, under the influence of successive waves of power.

The serpent scales gradually shifted, taking on a lustrous golden hue.

Within this golden sheen, a majestic dragon's aura began to manifest, possessing the power to obliterate all existence.

The dragon serpent, already awe-inspiring, was now clad in gold, becoming even more terrifying.

Meanwhile, on the opposing side, the Undying Emperor made the first move.

A verdant venom began to swirl around him.

Unlike Serpent Musk Granny's initial hesitation to engage, the Undying Emperor had never contemplated retreat.

Even after Supreme Nine Suns had demonstrably increased his strength, the Undying Emperor seemed eager for the challenge.

He advanced a single step into the air, positioning himself before Supreme Nine Suns.

With a gentle smile and an expectant glint in his eyes, he proclaimed, "Nine Suns, come forth and strike me down!"

Upon witnessing such a blatant invitation, Supreme Nine Suns saw no reason to hold back.

With a soft exclamation.

Supreme Nine Suns extended his hand towards the heavens.

High above, the ancient sun appeared to direct its incandescent rays straight into Supreme Nine Suns' grasp.

The very essence of solar power was now held within his hand.

Then, with a grand sweep of his arm.

The original sun in the sky abruptly divided into two.

The newly formed sun, resembling a blazing meteor, plummeted from the firmament, hurtling directly towards the Undying Emperor.

With a resounding "boom."

A surge of fiery red energy descended from the celestial expanse.

The Undying Emperor made no attempt to evade the incoming attack.

He spread his arms wide, the venom coating his body boiling furiously, accompanied by a fierce roar.

Ultimately, the entirety of the sun enveloped him.

To ensure the surrounding forest remained unharmed, the celestial body, after consuming the Undying Emperor, did not continue its descent but instead detonated in the void.

Sensing a faint trace of life force amidst the lingering remnants of the explosion, Supreme Nine Suns maintained his intense focus.

As the void was scorched, transforming into an empty expanse, a momentary vacuum formed across the entire sky.

Only a scorched, flame-engulfed figure remained suspended in the heavens.

"Still alive?" Supreme Nine Suns muttered to himself.

Initially, the charred silhouette was indistinct, but gradually, as the life-sustaining poison coursed through the figure.

The silhouette slowly managed to rise.

Although its features were distorted, with no part of its body intact.

The Undying Emperor, however, had not perished.

Even subjected to such overwhelming power, he had endured.

This was the result of the unique life poison he had developed.

It should be noted that the Undying Emperor had also bestowed a name upon this potent concoction.

At present, his research into this poison had reached a critical juncture, prompting the Undying Emperor to seek inspiration urgently.

Through continuous cycles of near-death experiences, he aimed to grasp the essence of true immortality by navigating the intricate process between life and death.

One must concede that this Undying Emperor possessed a remarkable genius.

While the path he pursued might not be righteous, and perhaps was demonstrably flawed.

After all, in this world, longevity might be attainable, but genuine immortality remains elusive.

Even Xu Zimei had encountered whispers and legends concerning immortality.

Even if one were to succeed in the Heaven Challenge, Xu Zimei harbored no certainty that such an achievement would signify true immortality.

...

"Once more, I believe I have attained some valuable insights."

A flicker of profound madness touched the Undying Emperor's expression.

Resembling a fanatical scholar lost in his research, he seemed to have entered an irretrievable state.

"Your so-called life poison, to put it plainly, is merely an amplification of the Divine Soul's capabilities, is it not?"

Supreme Nine Suns interjected suddenly.

The Undying Emperor slightly knitted his brows, quietly awaiting Supreme Nine Suns' subsequent pronouncement.

"Enhance the Divine Soul, while discarding the physical vessel.

Consequently, it becomes impossible for others to destroy your physical form, regardless of their efforts."

The Supreme Nine Suns continued.

"Furthermore, you didn't just fortify your Divine Soul, you even prepared a counterfeit soul, am I correct?"

The pronouncements from the Supreme Nine Suns caused a drastic shift in the Undying Emperor's countenance.

He presented an image of a fanatic, courting destruction, yet these were all mere pretenses.

He possessed an intimate understanding of the arduous journey toward immortality.

He was not so foolish.

The bolstering of his Divine Soul, and even the life-inflicting poison, were nothing more than a carefully crafted facade.

What the Undying Emperor had not anticipated was the Supreme Nine Suns' ability to perceive his true nature with a single glance.

An immediate sense of unease washed over him.

Regardless of other factors, being seen through and having no secrets left was the most unnerving of fates.

"Deception of Heaven, is that it?"

The Supreme Nine Suns declared: "Your chosen path is the Path of Deception of Heaven."

"Truly astounding. I had assumed that only the Nether King and I were forging our own Grand Dao Systems."

"I hadn't expected you to tread a similar route, concealing yourself even more profoundly than we have."

To be entirely candid, if not for the present occasion where the Supreme Nine Suns received the blessings of Heaven and Earth Power.

Neither his prescience nor his perceptive capabilities would have been amplified to such a degree.

He would never have been able to uncover the secrets held by the Undying Emperor.

The so-called deception, in essence, entails misleading the Heavenly Dao.

It involves fabricating an illusion designed to convince the heavens that one is deceased, thereby evading detection within the River of Fate.

Consequently, the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death would not befall you.

After all, who would seek to kill someone who is already dead?

Thus, deceiving mortals is simple; deceiving the heavens is exceedingly difficult, even bordering on the utterly unattainable.

However, it is sometimes only through the act of striving that one can ascertain the feasibility of a particular endeavor.

This very quality represents the most tenacious aspect of humanity's history.

Deception of Heaven, the feigning of death.

The Undying Emperor regained his composure. Initially, the exposure had left him somewhat flustered.

But now, being forewarned meant being prepared.

He fixed his gaze upon the Supreme Nine Suns and stated with a placid tone, "Even if you reveal my secrets, what can you possibly do?"
