I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2250 2249: One Sword Sweeps Across One Hundred Thousand Miles, One Sword Chills Fourteen States

The Gate of Origin Initiation has been revealed, destined to remain open in perpetuity.

It shall exist in tandem with the cosmos beyond this realm.

Only when the True Martial Great Emperor either steps through this gate, perishes in combat, or achieves ultimate victory will its presence cease.

The emergence of the Gate of Origin Initiation serves as a definitive acknowledgment from the Heavenly Dao, accepting the challenge laid forth by the True Martial Great Emperor.

Furthermore, it stands as a testament to the immense power wielded by the True Martial Great Emperor.

"The Heavenly Dao is truly resolute this time," the True Martial Great Emperor remarked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Historically, those who dared to challenge the heavens were compelled to navigate the trials of the Holy Court before gaining access to the Gate of Origin Initiation.

However, on this occasion, the Heavenly Dao omitted the Holy Court's interference, directly confronting the True Martial Great Emperor.

By doing so, the Heavenly Dao aimed to broadcast its unparalleled might to all.

Emphasizing the inevitability of the outcome, regardless of the True Martial Great Emperor's efforts.

Whether his ambition lay in claiming the Yuan Central Continent as his dominion or seeking any other boon, the Heavenly Dao remained indifferent.

True understanding of the power disparity could only be achieved through direct confrontation.

Faced with this overt declaration of war from the Heavenly Dao, the True Martial Great Emperor's aura ignited, surging forth like a brilliant rainbow.

Especially with the backing of the Yuan Central Continent, he now possessed the formidable ability to contend with the Great Dao itself.

"You shall not have to wait much longer; I will personally confront you soon."

The True Martial Great Emperor declared.

With his true fate newly established, numerous pressing matters required his immediate attention.

Chief among these were the inhabitants residing within the Yuan Central Continent.

A choice was presented: to voluntarily depart the Yuan Central Continent, or to remain and face their demise alongside him.

The True Martial Great Emperor afforded everyone this stark decision.

In recent days, the cataclysmic events sweeping across the Yuan Central Continent had not only reverberated through the Nine Domain World but had also instilled profound terror in the hearts of the continent's own people.

Just as the entire continent began to find a semblance of stability, the presence of the True Martial Great Emperor once again loomed large.

This time, however, the True Martial Great Emperor did not manifest in his original form; instead, he directly transfigured into the Heavenly Dao.

He became the very sky of the Yuan Central Continent, asserting absolute dominion over all existence within this world.

Upon the appearance of the True Martial Great Emperor, now embodying the Heavenly Dao, every individual across the continent, no matter their location, needed only to gaze upwards to perceive him.

The voice of the True Martial Great Emperor resonated universally, reaching every person without exception.

"Esteemed inhabitants, the pathways to the Nine Domain World are now open for your passage.

Any among you who desire to venture into the Nine Domains are free to depart."

The instant the True Martial Great Emperor concluded his pronouncement,

a shimmering portal materialized from the void.

This portal served as the conduit connecting the Yuan Central Continent with the Nine Domain World.

"I am about to commence my journey to challenge the heavens; should you choose not to depart, you risk accompanying me into death itself. Consider your options wisely."

Following the True Martial Great Emperor's final words, he departed, leaving the assembled crowd in a state of bewildered contemplation.

This gateway would remain accessible for a period of three days.

Upon the expiration of this three-day window, the True Martial Great Emperor intended to reshape the Yuan Central Continent and initiate the ultimate confrontation with the heavens.

Witnessing the True Martial Great Emperor's departure, the entirety of the Yuan Central Continent seemed to ignite, transforming into a tumultuous cauldron of discussion.

Innumerable individuals engaged in fervent dialogues, their debates escalating into heated arguments.

"The Nine Domain World—could that be the legendary Heaven Beyond Heavens?"

"Is it the very realm where past emperors found ascension after their earthly tenure?"

"Let us hasten; we must investigate at once! Perhaps we can locate our forebears."

"Our ancestor, the Vast Emperor, ascended tens of thousands of years ago; he might now be a figure of considerable influence, capable of revitalizing our Vast Immortal Sect."

"Where is the Emperor of the Monster Race? We implore you, come forth and deliver the Monster Race from this peril!"

"I refuse to leave; the Yuan Central Continent is our foundational soil. Where our roots lie, there shall I remain. This action by the True Martial Great Emperor is nothing short of blatant plunder."

"Precisely! We must stand united and prevent the utter annihilation of the Yuan Central Continent."

At this juncture, a multitude of thoughts swirled within countless minds.

Some were imbued with an eager curiosity and a profound yearning for the mysterious Nine Domain World.

Conversely, others stood firm in their refusal to depart, embracing an unyielding spirit of defiance.

Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority opted for departure.

After all, the True Martial Great Emperor had articulated the consequences with stark clarity: remaining signified a solitary path towards oblivion.

Conversely, should the True Martial Great Emperor emerge victorious in his celestial challenge, the fate of those who stayed might be dramatically altered.

This decision presented both a perilous gamble and a potential opportunity.

From the Yuan Central Continent's gateway, a ceaseless stream of people began to emerge, forming a dense throng.

Xu Zimei turned his gaze towards the True Martial Great Emperor.

He inquired, "Will you require some assistance?"

"With so many individuals arriving at once, I fear the Heaven Extreme Realm may struggle to accommodate such a substantial population.

We must distribute them across the other domains."

The Great Emperor of the Three Blades also offered his thoughts from the side.

The True Martial Great Emperor inclined his head slightly.

With a grand gesture of his hand,

the immense power of the Great Dao surged around him.

Since the True Martial Great Emperor's true fate had transformed into a celestial body, his destiny had been elevated immeasurably.

Now, he could stand resolute, confronting the Heavenly Dao's celestial war directly.

Consequently, even the Heavenly Dao hesitated to provoke him rashly.

They were wary that any conflict might inflict widespread chaos upon the Nine Domains.

Only in the vast cosmic expanse beyond could the Heavenly Dao engage in full-scale battle.

This indeed highlighted the True Martial Great Emperor's formidable strength; he was not someone to be easily challenged by the Heavenly Dao.

However, Xu Zimei harbored a subtle, divergent premonition.

He suspected that the Holy Court's current absence was a strategic maneuver, a preparation for confronting him.

In previous eras, there had been no such challengers of the heavens.

But now, he and the True Martial Great Emperor stood united.

Should the Holy Court be dispatched to attack the True Martial Great Emperor,

and should they fail, it might lead to the complete eradication of the Holy Court.

At such a juncture, Xu Zimei would be free from future anxieties.

Without the Holy Court as an obstacle, facilitating the resurrection of the Demon Race or recalling the ancient Demon's Cavern would become significantly easier.

Thus, it was probable that the Heavenly Dao had meticulously deliberated its options for an extended period.

Concluding that his threat was paramount.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao opted to reserve the Holy Court for him to handle.

Allowing the True Martial Great Emperor to directly undertake the Heaven Challenge.

Despite the increased challenges ahead, Xu Zimei felt a sense of satisfaction.

This was the path he had chosen, one that involved growth through sustained conflict and cultivation via battle.

If the True Martial Great Emperor were to resolve the entire Holy Court situation, how would he himself have opportunities to grow through combat?

In essence, karma was intricately linked.

...

Within the majestic aura of the Great Dao enveloping the True Martial Great Emperor, his Heaven Challenge weapon—the True Martial Sword—was unsheathed.

The True Martial Sword emitted a resonant chant.

It unleashed an imposing momentum, reminiscent of dragons and tigers in fierce combat.

Gripping his sword, the True Martial Great Emperor cleaved through the void with a downward strike.

The sword intent that radiated horizontally carried the might of the roaring Great Dao, like the celestial river cascading from the highest heavens.

Initially, a cacophony of voices filled the air.

But as this single sword stroke descended, all existence between heaven and earth seemed to be subsumed.

It felt as though the only reality was this sword's presence.

With a resounding "boom,"

the reverberations mingled with the sharp clarity of the sword's song.

A beam of sword light pierced down from the Heaven Extreme Realm.

At that precise moment, the entirety of the Nine Domains was illuminated by the sword's magnificent radiance.

Truly, it was as the saying goes: one sword spans ten thousand miles; one sword strikes fourteen states with awe.

A true hero of this world displays such unparalleled might.

Beneath the sword's triumphant cry, this singular blade carved open a conduit among the previously separated Nine Domains.

It created a pathway for unhindered passage.

An astonishing feat, indeed.
