I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2249 2248: Cosmic Beyond, Gate of Genesis

This radiance is akin to the break of dawn piercing the enveloping darkness.

The light fractures the boundaries of heaven and earth, piercing the formerly pitch-black firmament.

It is understood that following the emergence of the Yuan Central Continent, the heavens of the Nine Domains World appeared to fall under an eclipse.

Dubbed the 'Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun,' the entire world became engulfed in an impenetrable gloom.

And this beam of light is precisely like the sun.

Bestowing illumination upon the world.

Upon the firmament, one could witness the True Martial Great Emperor's very own True Fate gradually fading away.

In its place, the image of the Yuan Central Continent planet began to materialize.

Unseen by many, it could be stated that the True Martial Great Emperor had now completely merged with the Yuan Central Continent.

While a connection might have existed previously, now the Yuan Central Continent itself had entirely become his True Fate.

This signifies a profound shift in concept.

The True Martial Great Emperor let out a resounding roar.

As if the clouds were parting to allow the light to stream through.

The Yuan Central Continent commenced its movement, and the long-absent light within the void was finally unleashed.

At this precise moment, all eyes converged upon the Yuan Central Continent.

In the northeastern sector, a middle-aged man garbed in black, emanating a formidable aura, uttered in disbelief.

"To achieve a path transcending the world, he has truly succeeded."

"A rarity in this world, indeed!"

Certain ancient entities, teetering on the brink of demise, seemed to spring back to life as if experiencing a final burst of vitality.

"Should his challenge against Heaven prove successful, he may forge a unique system entirely unto himself."

All attention, from numerous quarters, now focused intently on this event.

Most notably, the Heaven Extreme Realm.

Elders, influential Taoists, members of the Monster Race, and a multitude of other powerful beings were present.

Initially, the True Martial Great Emperor remained unbothered by their scrutiny.

After all, transforming his True Fate into a world was his intended testament to them all.

However, upon observing that the True Fate World had completed its fusion and their gazes persisted in their invasive probing, a degree of displeasure stirred within the True Martial Great Emperor.

Just as he contemplated making a move, a thunderous sound reverberated through the firmament.

A continuous, deafening 'rumble, rumble' echoed without end.

As the thunderclap subsided, a solemn aura permeated the entirety of heaven and earth.

As everyone looked upwards, the firmament above was seen to be awash with the Power of the Great Dao.

Yet, this Power of the Great Dao differed remarkably from its conventional manifestation.

It is common knowledge that once a cultivator attains the Enlightenment Realm, they can confront the heavens directly to apprehend the Great Dao.

During this process, the Great Dao typically presents itself with gentleness.

It neither favors nor obstructs cultivators, allowing all cultivation to proceed according to established principles.

Thus, in the perception of all, the Power of the Great Dao had always been perceived as benign.

However, the Power of the Great Dao now overhead was imbued with a savage, destructive essence.

Resembling the force unleashed when a world is in the process of being torn asunder.

"The Path of Obliteration."

The True Martial Great Emperor whispered to himself.

The so-called Path of Obliteration is the formidable power wielded by the Heavenly Dao during its trials against Heaven.

The sheer potency of this power speaks for itself.

Furthermore, the manifestation of such power adheres to specific conditions.

It is said to emerge only when a world stands on the precipice of utter annihilation.

The Path of Obliteration seeks to eradicate all life, shatter the Great Dao, and thus bring about the complete destruction of all existence.

Ultimately culminating in the end of a world.

The appearance of the Path of Obliteration serves as the Great Dao's direct response to the True Martial Great Emperor.

Regardless of the world you possess as a shield, the Path of Obliteration possesses the capability to annihilate the Yuan Central Continent.

It is not yet too late.

Following the emergence of the Path of Obliteration, a small void-like black hole materialized.

This anomaly appeared to breach the very fabric of the world, establishing a direct conduit to the cosmos beyond.

Xu Zimei had prior experience with such a phenomenon.

During the time he forcefully breached the world's barrier, returning from the Nine Domains World to the Yuan Central Continent, he had narrowly escaped being lost within the inter-world void—the cosmos.

The might of the cosmos is not to be trifled with by any being.

Within the cosmic black hole, initially, there was only a vast expanse of blackness, but prolonged observation suggested its capacity to engulf all things.

However, shortly thereafter, transformations began to occur within the cosmos.

A nascent, miniature battlefield seemed to be taking shape within it.

A blood-red sky and earth, a world bearing the scars of devastation, oceans churning with a sickly white hue as if regurgitated, and land parched and cracked as if subjected to volcanic heat, all evoked a profound sense of desolate, muddy desolation.

A profound sense of despair permeated the atmosphere.

Upon closer scrutiny, one could discern countless mounds of bodies, forming towering mountains connected to one another, paved with bleached bones that resembled stone slab roads.

A vast sea, brimming with blood, was formed drop by agonizing drop.

Beneath the crimson surface, the blood churned with frothy white foam, appearing incredibly putrid and decayed by the relentless march of time.

Several Blood Rivers, winding and connected, flowed around this grim Sea of Blood.

Each Blood River served as a conduit, leading away towards yet more mountains composed of fallen bodies.

Floating within the Sea of Blood were entrails and various other organs, a gruesome testament to the carnage.

The scene unfolding before them was unlike anything ever witnessed by mortal eyes.

Even the most ferocious conflicts, the bloodiest of battlefields, seemed utterly insignificant when contrasted with this horrifying panorama.

"The Heavenly Dao Battlefield!"

Though the True Martial Great Emperor had come to understand much, the materialized battlefield before him still sent a chilling tremor through his being.

What exactly was the Heavenly Dao Battlefield? It was crucial to comprehend that each challenge levied against the heavens was akin to a conflict of epic, century-defining proportions.

If a battle of such magnitude were to transpire within the Nine Domains World.

It was presumed that the entire world would face utter devastation, and an immeasurable number of living beings would perish simply from the residual shockwaves.

Consequently, the battles against Heaven did not occur within the confines of the Nine Domains World.

Instead, they took place in the outer cosmos.

Of course, this term 'outer cosmos' was a designation given by subsequent generations.

That expanse of sky and earth was, in reality, a distinct realm deliberately opened by the Heavenly Dao itself.

It was situated in close proximity to the cosmos, rendering it impervious to any form of material harm.

For no matter how potent an attack, it would be rendered powerless before the unyielding expanse of the cosmos.

Thus, that region became known as the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, a sacred yet terrifying place where Heaven Challengers across all eras would converge.

Should one emerge victorious, they could traverse the outer cosmos directly and attain true, unfettered freedom.

However, if one were to lose.

Then they would simply become another component of the mountainous corpses and the endless Sea of Blood.

Regardless of how peerless one was, how they might have astounded both ancient and modern times, or how their authority seemed eternal and as towering as Qingcheng itself...

In the end, they would merely be another corpse lying here.

Following the manifestation of the outer cosmos, a sudden 'hum' resonated through the air.

It sounded as if an ancient bronze bell had been struck.

The reverberation of that ancient bell possessed a distinct and unique rhythm.

For a time, the heavens and earth were consumed by furious winds, pouring rain, and violent flashes of lightning and thunder.

It was as if a seal had been broken after ages untold, bringing forth an eternal intention as the profound sound of a gate opening echoed.

At an indeterminate moment, a portal materialized between the heavens and the earth.

This was the "Gate of Origin Initiation."

This gate was not bestowed a name by mortals; rather, it arose naturally from the very fabric of the heavens and the earth.

The profound meaning encapsulated within the characters "Origin Initiation" was extraordinary.

The cyclical alternation of epochs was eternal and immutable.

The rise and eventual decay of the world's heart were preordained.

An individual's life was intricately etched upon the River of Fate.

And the lifespan of a world, we refer to it as an epoch.

The Nine Domains Epoch commenced one billion three hundred million years in the past, continuing until the present moment.

Enter this gate; should you falter, you shall perish, but if you succeed, you will herald the dawn of a new epoch.

The Gate of Origin Initiation swung open wide.

This represented the Heavenly Dao's solemn declaration of war.

Venture forth into the outer cosmos and engage in this ultimate battle!
