I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2276 2275: Unrivaled Slash, Five Great Demon Kings

A sense of the power surrounding Xu Zimei was apparent.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits knitted his brows slightly.

The Ruyi lamp in his grasp shifted once more.

Before, the Ruyi lamp had served as a shield, capable of deflecting any worldly attack.

Now, however, it reformed into the shape of a spear.

Though the name 'spear' might not sound particularly imposing,

this particular spear represented the sharpest one in existence.

With the spear now under his control, the Lord of the Dead Spirits fiercely thrust it towards Xu Zimei.

Their clash wasn't one of life and death, yet.

Nevertheless, both combatants were extremely serious.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits' seriousness stemmed from a need to uphold his status as a ruler, refusing to tolerate Xu Zimei's provocation.

He also utilized his Great Dao to probe Xu Zimei, seeking out his own imperfections to rectify.

Xu Zimei's own seriousness was dedicated purely to his personal Great Dao.

Billions of Great Dao existed, untouchable by most.

However, each engagement with a formidable opponent propelled him a step further.

As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

And a nine-tiered tower is built from accumulated soil.

Any change is beneficial.

No matter how daunting the objective, as long as one advances steadily and unswervingly,

Xu Zimei would eventually achieve his vision of mastering the billions of Great Dao.

Stagnation is akin to stagnant water.

All things in the universe are interconnected through change.

At this critical moment, as the world's sharpest spear descended,

its tip concentrated the most potent force of annihilation.

It was as if all ultimate power was poured into that single point.

Then, emanating from this point, it erupted.

The sharpness of the spear tip was utterly unstoppable.

An ordinary person catching a glimpse of it would have their eyes blinded.

But Xu Zimei was equally extraordinary.

Around him, the Nirvana Immortal Melody resonated.

This melody intertwined with the Yang Demon Technique, which fundamentally embodied the most intense yang demon.

As the Nirvana Immortal Melody echoed, reincarnation collapsed, and order shattered.

The void was plunged into complete ruin, and all existence between heaven and earth perished.

At this instant, the Nirvana Immortal Melody visibly began to reverberate layer by layer.

These reverberations expanded outwards in a circular fashion.

And as the spear lunged forward, the entire melody of the Nirvana Immortal Melody began to crumble.

"Rumble, rumble."

Although the musical notes of the Immortal Melody continuously reformed and emerged,

their pace of emergence lagged far behind the speed of the spear's penetration.

"Demon Lord, I must concede, your might surpasses that of our last encounter."

"However, this is no longer your era."

"You are no longer the Demon King from the Heaven Challenge battle; having restarted your life, how could I possibly lose to you again?"

It was undeniable how dominant the Demon Race once was.

They differed greatly from the True Martial Great Emperor.

The True Martial Great Emperor had merely led the True Martial Holy Sect, ruling the current Heaven Extreme Realm.

As for dominating the entire Nine Domains World, frankly, the True Martial Great Emperor showed minimal interest.

For the True Martial Great Emperor,

if he couldn't conquer the Heavenly Dao and depart the Nine Domains World to explore his Great Dao further,

then what purpose did world domination serve?

Thus, his Great Dao philosophy was unique.

Once his cultivation reached its zenith, the True Martial Great Emperor initiated the Heaven Challenge battle.

Consequently, regardless of the ferocity of battles beyond the heavens, within the Nine Domains World, relative tranquility prevailed.

But the Demonic Race's past was distinct.

That specific period was known as the Demon's Advent.

This was because the Demon Lord truly held dominion over the entire world.

In the Blazing Flame Realm, where Candle Dragon resided, the Fire Tribe bowed in submission.

Even in the Netherworld Realm, the domain of the deceased, submission to the Demon Lord was required.

Even the Kun Ruins Domain, where deities had to lower their heads.

At that time, even the Holy Court dared not oppose them.

The Holy Ancestor, even with the backing of the Heavenly Dao, had to act with deference.

Having personally experienced the era of the Demon's Advent, the Lord of the Dead Spirits recalled it more vividly than anyone.

No one, not even Xu Zimei currently, could empathize with his experience more profoundly.

In addition to the Ultimate Demon King, there were five other Demon Kings.

The Azure Heaven Demon King commanded the northern territories,

The Crimson Heaven Demon King commanded the eastern territories.

The Day Demon King commanded the southern territories.

The Yellow Heavenly Demon King commanded the western territories.

The Black Heavenly Demon King commanded the central territories.

These five Heavenly Demon Kings, under the Demon Lord's command, were fearsome figures who dominated an entire era.

Had the Demon King not departed to challenge the heavens in the end,

how could such a formidable Demonic Race possibly have fallen?

As the new Demon Lord, Xu Zimei, the Lord of the Dead Spirits was naturally unwilling to suffer defeat again.

All his extensive preparations, made over such a long period, were aimed at realizing his ultimate ambition.

With the Heavenly Dao not yet responding to his challenge, there was no way he would concede to Xu Zimei!

Gazing at the infinitely sharp spear tip before him, it seemed nothing could possibly withstand its might.

The power of the Nirvana Immortal Melody was steadily fading.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits resolved to unleash a final, decisive blow upon Xu Zimei, intending to end this confrontation permanently.

"Rumble, rumble..."

The underworld realm surrounding the Lord of the Dead Spirits transformed into a swirling black mist, which then merged directly into the formidable spear.

In the following instant, the spear blazed with an awe-inspiring, radiant black light.

This shadowy luminescence seemed to encapsulate the entirety of the Netherworld Realm.

It was as if the very essence of the Netherworld Realm's power had been concentrated within it.

......

"Boom..."

Absolutely no resistance was possible; the defensive power embodied by the Nirvana Immortal Melody was effortlessly impaled by the spear.

The spear continued its relentless trajectory, unhindered.

It plunged directly through Xu Zimei's physical form.

This was no ordinary spear; as it penetrated Xu Zimei, a tempestuous storm erupted within his internal body.

However, the Lord of the Dead Spirits displayed no sign of triumph; instead, his expression grew increasingly grim.

While the spear had indeed pierced Xu Zimei's body, his aura showed no signs of diminishing. On the contrary, an even more potent momentum surged from within him.

First, manifesting behind Xu Zimei.

Three gates sequentially materialized.

This represented the culmination of the ten Divine Methods: the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate.

This gate system comprised the Human Gate, the Earth Gate, and the Heaven-reaching Door.

The ultimate state for the Heaven-reaching Door is achieved when all three gates are open, granting the ability to momentarily withstand an otherwise fatal assault.

Xu Zimei leveraged the brief period of invincibility granted by the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate to endure the Lord of the Dead Spirits' spear thrust.

Intertwined with the Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate was one of the Demonic Ten Skills, specifically the Earth Demon Technique.

This Earth Demon Technique was widely regarded as the precursor to all forms of calamity.

Witnessing the Trilife Gate successfully nullify the deadly attack, and with the Earth Demon Technique unleashing countless destructive forces, the situation intensified.

At this critical juncture, the Tyrant Shadow held within Xu Zimei's grasp was elevated.

The Lord of the Dead Spirits' demeanor shifted drastically.

He could acutely sense that this was the genuine killing intent emanating from Xu Zimei.

This particular strike had harmonized the essence of the ten Divine Methods, incorporating the Demonic Ten Skills.

Furthermore, it encapsulated Xu Zimei's most profound comprehension of the Way of the Blade.

This was undeniably his ultimate offensive maneuver.

With the deployment of this single strike alone...

Words struggled to capture the magnitude of its impact.

It was an unparalleled blade strike, capable of shaking the very heavens and bringing specters and deities alike to tears; a truly invincible blade.
