I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2275 2274: The Supreme, Devourer of Life and Death

A shudder ran through the Lord of the Dead Spirits as he felt the immense power emanating from the giant. This colossal being was no ordinary entity; it was a manifestation born from the fusion of three Great Divine Methods and the might of three Demonic Ten Skills.

As the giant launched a fist towards the Lord of the Dead Spirits, the latter's various evolving divine techniques were shattered by the sheer force of the blow. Regardless of the transformations attempted, the giant retaliated with a singular, powerful punch, demonstrating that in the face of true might, all else was merely a facade.

Overwhelmed by the giant's pressure, the Lord of the Dead Spirits was compelled to retreat slightly, a frown creasing his brow. He had not anticipated that Xu Zimei's sudden ascendancy would present such a formidable challenge.

Watching the giant advance once more, the Lord of the Dead Spirits recognized that conventional divine techniques would likely be insufficient to withstand such an assault. At this critical juncture, the power of the Great Dao began to emanate from around him.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits' power was remarkably pure, a force of annihilation that was his own creation and his sole asset. It flowed from him like an unending river.

"No matter what you are, giant, I shall suppress you with the Power of the World and see how you fare," the Lord of the Dead Spirits declared.

With a wave of his hand, the dark energy that had been swirling around him detached and ascended, only to descend from the heavens, bearing down upon the giant.

This dark realm, while unable to destroy the giant, undeniably succeeded in impeding his movements.

"Dead Spirit, this is ultimately a false world," Xu Zimei stated, his voice carrying a hint of disdain. "You cannot possibly expect this world to contend with the heavens."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, the Lord of the Dead Spirits remained silent for a moment before finally responding. "Demon Lord, you must have intuited certain truths, but my path diverges from yours."

"How does it differ?" Xu Zimei inquired.

"Do we not both seek to depart this world?"

"I do wish to leave, but I have no intention of challenging the heavens," Xu Zimei replied.

"With my current strength, attempting to challenge the heavens might prove futile in my lifetime," the Lord of the Dead Spirits admitted honestly. From ancient times, few had dared to challenge the heavens, with perhaps only one in each era. Despite his power, the Lord of the Dead Spirits maintained a clear perspective, unswayed by his dominion over the Netherworld Realm. He understood that a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Dao was a battle he could not win.

"Then tell me, what is your method for challenging the heavens? I am rather curious," Xu Zimei said with a smile. After all, he and the True Martial Great Emperor had chosen to confront the heavens directly, armed with overwhelming power. Empress Hongtian, conversely, had opted for a path of substitution, transforming herself into the Heavenly Dao to gain control over the Nine Domains World.

Xu Zimei mused that regardless of the approach, any method that someone dared to implement was worthy of respect. The saying "all roads lead to Rome" came to mind, but he understood that a path only truly existed once someone had walked it, or perhaps, it was forged by the countless footsteps that followed.

In essence, the spirit of those who came before, regardless of their success or failure, deserved both praise and reverence. And at this very moment, the Lord of the Dead Spirits had embarked upon a distinct path.

While Xu Zimei engaged the Lord of the Dead Spirits in conversation and inquiry, his offensive did not wane; in fact, it intensified. He initiated the fifth Divine Method, merging the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation with the Supreme Pill Scripture.

Although the Supreme Pill Scripture primarily focused on alchemy and lacked the offensive prowess of other divine methods, its unique strength lay in its ability to summon Supreme Force with each act of alchemy. Supreme embodied the highest and most noble meaning – for mortals, it was the emperor; for cultivators, it was the Heavenly Dao. The capacity to harness the power of the Heavenly Dao made the Supreme Pill Scripture an act of defiance in itself.

The Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation was even more potent. Though it manifested as a single finger, it possessed the might of a celestial pillar, making it incredibly difficult to oppose. Within this finger resided the combined forces of creation and heaven-swallowing.

Now, with the fusion of these two Divine Methods, they resonated with the Demonic Ten Skills. The Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation corresponded with the Plague Demon Technique, where the afflicted suffered from karmic illness. This fusion meant the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation was no longer solely about devouring; it could now invisibly consume one's life force and destiny, even draining one's spirit from afar.

Furthermore, the Supreme Pill Scripture aligned with the Yin Demon Technique, associated with the Dream Confusion Deity.

Fused with Supreme Force, it integrated into the Yin God, allowing passage into the dark realm unnoticed and completely unaffected.

When these two distinct forces made their appearance.

You observe Xu Zimei making a beckoning gesture.

Abruptly, a colossal pillar manifests, stretching between heaven and earth.

Upon closer examination, one realizes this is not a pillar but a singular finger.

This imposing finger is completely enshrouded by the Creation Swallowing Heaven Force.

Augmented by the Supreme Force from above, death energy from below, and encircled by pervasive dark energy.

This particular maneuver caused the face of the Lord of the Dead Spirits to shift subtly.

He discovered that his powers of reincarnation had surprisingly little effect on this formidable move.

The encroaching black mist seemed to be inexplicably diminished in its potency.

Witnessing this unfolding scene, the Lord of the Dead Spirits could no longer remain seated, and he rose to his feet.

He withdrew a potent magical treasure from his grasp.

The artifact in question was a Ruyi lamp.

Adorning the surface of this lamp were painted depictions of both a shield and a spear.

The origins of this Ruyi lamp were far from ordinary.

Legend has it that upon his arrival in the Netherworld Realm, the Lord of the Dead Spirits unearthed two treasures capable of shaking the very foundations of the world.

One of these world-altering finds was this very Ruyi lamp.

Accounts suggest this remarkable lamp possessed the ability to transform into either a spear or a shield.

The spear was reputed to be the sharpest weapon in existence.

Conversely, the shield was lauded as the most impenetrable defensive artifact known.

The question of whether the spear could pierce the shield was rendered moot.

This was due to the Ruyi lamp's limitation: it could only manifest as one item at any given time.

When the spear took form, the shield ceased to exist, and vice versa.

Consequently, as the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation descended from the heavens, the Lord of the Dead Spirits promptly transformed the Ruyi lamp into a defensive shield.

Mysterious and potent forces began to circulate across the Ruyi lamp's surface.

The resulting shield, though not ancient, was infinitely marvelous in its construction.

It encapsulated the very essence of all evolution, and its surface shimmered with an unprecedented force.

Thus, when the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation made its descent.

It impacted the shield with the ferocity of a galaxy plunging from the highest heavens, striking with immense force.

On the shield's expansive surface, potent energies engaged in a continuous, violent collision.

It was almost impossible to fathom the sheer defensive prowess of this shield.

Remarkably, it managed to entirely nullify the devastating impact of the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation.

However, Xu Zimei was far from inactive during this exchange.

Because concurrent with the collision between the Finger of Heaven-Swallowing Creation and the shield, the Nirvana Immortal Melody surrounding Xu Zimei was also forcefully activated.

Recognized as one of the ten paramount divine methods.

The Nirvana Immortal Melody primarily centered its power on the manipulation of musical rhythm.

This specific Nirvana Immortal Melody was intrinsically linked to the Yang Demon Technique.

The Yang demon, a formidable opponent, acted as a true obstructer on the path.

The Yang Demon Technique itself was characterized by its vast, unyielding movements and its resplendent, heavenly might.

As Xu Zimei advanced through the air, charging directly towards the Lord of the Dead Spirits, the resonating rhythm of the Nirvana Immortal Melody proved more than sufficient to obstruct all incoming threats.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits' brow furrowed slightly in response.

This audacious move by Xu Zimei, seemingly born from the very essence of death, had successfully gathered an immeasurable amount of power.
