I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2312 - 2311: Ghost Gods Attack, Great Emperor Tianqi
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
This notebook is filled with strange and peculiar symbols.
There are some annotations as well.
It seems as though a giant is opening the Heavenly Gate, and behind it lies a world shrouded in Chaos, unclear to see.
Xu Zimei leafs through the notes.
He eventually extracts some information from them.
[Great Emperor Tianqi]
This Great Emperor Tianqi was once a very famous emperor in the Nine Domains World.
He was called a Great Emperor not merely because of his power but as a respectful form of address.
Great Emperor Tianqi's path was the Way of Opening the Heavens.
Many believed that Great Emperor Tianqi would become the next candidate to challenge the heavens, as his path was too conflicting with the world.
But for many years, Great Emperor Tianqi remained devoted to cultivation, with no intention to challenge the heavens.
Until ten thousand years ago, Great Emperor Tianqi suddenly vanished.
Since then, neither his family nor outsiders have seen Great Emperor Tianqi's figure.
For such a powerful being, even if killed, it would be impossible for him to disappear silently.
Yet, he did disappear just like that.
For a time, countless speculations arose, from conspiracy theories to claims that Great Emperor Tianqi had gone into hiding.
It is said that at that time, a colorful rainbow once appeared over Great Emperor Tianqi's family.
This was the only unusual occurrence.
But now, many years have passed, and there is still no news of Great Emperor Tianqi.
Xu Zimei is not familiar with Great Emperor Tianqi.
When he arrived in the Nine Domains World, Great Emperor Tianqi was already gone.
However, the notes are entirely related to Great Emperor Tianqi.
Which proves that the Thousand Calamities Doomsday has been discovered, and that the talisman seal in the inner chambers is related to Great Emperor Tianqi.
Xu Zimei stowed the notebook away.
Before leaving, those Myriad Clans were still howling, but Xu Zimei ignored them, closed the crystal gate, leaving them to fend for themselves.
...…
Afterward, Xu Zimei sought out the Nine Mountain Ghosts specifically to inquire about Great Emperor Tianqi.
He learned that the family of Great Emperor Tianqi has now fallen into decline.
The family is not within the Ghost God Realm but in the Cangxuan Realm.
Xu Zimei knew it was not convenient to go to the Cangxuan Realm now; at least he had to resolve the current matters first, so he nodded slightly.
He asked, "What's up with those Ghost Gods?"
"They can hardly contain themselves; they've sent many to the academy to probe, presumably searching for the guardian formations," the Mountain Ghosts replied.
"The formation will not hold for long; they're well prepared, and when the time comes, it will be a fight to the death."
Xu Zimei then returned to the Historiography Hall.
He began inscribing those inner chamber talisman seals, preparing to take them along later.
After all, once he went to the Cangxuan Realm, he could not return again.
Previously, he might not have been able to inscribe them, but as he gained enlightenment about these seals, he could easily inscribe them.
A week passed by.
This day, a loud noise nearly startled the students across Ghost God Academy.
It was like a thunderclap; the heavens and earth seemed poised to explode.
The guardian formation, under this strike, developed cracks.
Everyone raised their heads to look.
The Firmament was split in two.
One half represents the divine in white, the other the ghost in black.
Two forces interweave, enveloping the entire universe.
Sixteen imposing figures emanating different airs soared into the sky.
Their true faces unclear, their gaze imposing, surveying the entirety of the Ghost God Academy.
Countless people felt this oppressive force.
"Thousand Calamities Doomsday, dare you come forth to face battle?"
An old voice said.
The voice echoed in the void, inciting a massive change in the winds and clouds.
[You've oppressed my Spirit Clan for years; now we unite to overturn your rule. Why not come out and meet your demise!]
Upon hearing the Ghost God's words, the academy was thrown into chaos.
Many students hadn't sensed any anomaly prior.
"The Ghost God Clan has rebelled; it's over. We won't die here, will we?"
"What are you afraid of? With Thousand Calamities present, can Ghost Gods defeat Thousand Calamities?"
Everyone was talking amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, on Ghost God Academy's side, the Nine Mountain Ghosts also ascended, surrounded by various illusions.
There's a python snake swallowing a dragon, a third eye opening, and a breeze like a blade.
The Jiao Dragon Mountain Ghost among them snorted coldly.
He said calmly, "Dirty World Divine Spirits, you know Thousand Calamities is injured. Why bother with this sham challenge?"
"Should Thousand Calamities awaken, you'd all run with tails between your legs."
On the Ghost God's side, everyone burst into laughter.
The laughter roared like thunder, echoing through the void.
"Today your Ghost God Academy shall perish; from now on, this Ghost God Realm remains the domain of our Spirit Clan Dominator."
"We'll see if you've got the skills," the Nine Mountain Ghosts snorted coldly.
Both sides ceased their idle talk.
Powerful forces like falling comets clashed together.
"Boom, boom."
Explosions sounded repeatedly on the Firmament, deafening and nerve-racking.
The clashes between the strong, a regular person couldn't even watch, let alone participate.
At this time, Ghost God Academy's teachers also mobilized, organizing students to resist the Ghost Gods.
Just now, only the strong of the two factions were battling.
Besides Ghosts and Gods, other clanspeople are also present in the Spirit Clan.
Outside Ghost God Academy, a large number of Spirit Clan forces, initially hidden in the city, now revealed themselves.
They all rushed toward Ghost God Academy.
And some of the Academy's strong began to unite to resist the Ghost Gods.
"Everyone, don't scatter. Gather according to your divisions and defend the academy together."
Though countless panicked, some remained calm, prepared for battle.
In essence, a myriad of beings reflected.
Within the Historiography Hall, due to fewer people, it was much quieter.
Lu Xiong carried a giant axe, said to Shangguan Ya, "Don't be afraid, Shangguan. If they want to invade the Hall, they'll have to step over my corpse first."
Shangguan Ya was much calmer.
Though her personal power was weak, she wasn't as fearful of life and death.
She laughed, "Thanks, Brother Lu, but there's nothing to be afraid of."
"In a lifetime, one must die eventually, but before that, I hope to help the academy in battle."
As the two spoke, elsewhere Gongsun Hong and Xu Xian exchanged a glance.
Both felt the timing was right.
"I just sent a signal to my grandfather; he'll come to save us soon," Gongsun Hong said.
"In the chaos here, no one's focusing on us anymore."
"Let's sneak away; I always feel something's off with this teacher."
Xu Xian nodded in agreement with Gongsun Hong.
The trio stepped outside, intending to slip away along the side path.
But at this moment, Liu Jin stood at the end, waiting for the three of them.
