I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2368 - 2367: A Hefty Sword Without an Edge, Ancient Tower

From Zhu Yunlong's words, it could be seen clearly.

The Divine Race's rule over this world had already become deeply entrenched.

Xu Zimei, however, didn't really care.

He said calmly, "To destroy the gods is equivalent to destroying the world. Since that's the case, what's wrong with truly destroying the world once?"

"No destruction, no construction."

His tone was very calm, but his words were extremely serious.

So serious that it felt as if Xu Zimei really did harbor the idea of wiping out all living beings.

This made Zhu Yunlong feel a chill run down his spine.

He had never dared look directly at Xu Zimei, afraid of offending him.

But now he still couldn't help but glance at Xu Zimei's face.

He wanted to know whether the other party was joking or not.

How many people were there in the entire Kun Ruins Domain?

At least over a billion, surely!

And the believers of the Divine Race numbered in the tens of billions.

The amount was simply too enormous.

Even if that many people just stood there and let you kill them, it would still exhaust you to death.

This wasn't a joke.

So from beginning to end, Xu Zimei was only one man, yet he treated the lives of billions without a second thought.

For a moment, Zhu Yunlong didn't know whether Xu Zimei truly had that ability, or had simply lost his mind.

However, the reason he had come this time was to curry favor with Xu Zimei, so that his own status as Divine Son could advance further.

So there were some things that, since they hadn't actually happened, he couldn't be bothered to think about.

He took the initiative to change the topic.

He said, "My lord, is there anything you'd like to buy, or any place you want to go?"

Xu Zimei pondered slightly.

He had come to this Underground World to see whether there were any Artifact Refining Materials.

Tyrant Shadow needed to advance into a Heaven Challenging Heavy Weapon.

This Heaven Challenging Heavy Weapon could be said to be the most powerful weapon in the entire world.

He had previously chatted with the True Martial Great Emperor.

That True Martial Sword was precisely the Heaven Challenging weapon forged by the True Martial Great Emperor.

If the Heaven Challenge could succeed, then not only could Xu Zimei undergo a complete rebirth, from then on transcending heaven and earth, roaming the vast seas as a fish leaping in open waters.

As the weapon of a Heaven Challenger, the Heaven Challenging Weapon could also take another step forward and become an Epochal Heavy Weapon.

Of course, that step was still a bit distant for Xu Zimei.

What he needed to consider right now was still forging a Heaven Challenging Weapon.

And what kind of Heaven Challenging Weapon he himself needed.

He hadn't seen many Heaven Challengers, mainly because most people no longer had the courage to challenge the heavens.

Those who failed before—how astonishingly brilliant they had been, and yet they still did not succeed. What counted as he, compared to them?

Xu Zimei had seen the True Martial Sword of the True Martial Great Emperor.

That sword was incredibly sharp, one could even say it was a sword solely meant to pierce the Heavenly Dao.

What the True Martial Great Emperor needed was the ultimate edge.

But Xu Zimei's demands for Tyrant Shadow were different.

The Blade Technique he cultivated had always been about overwhelming others with sheer dominance.

The momentum of the blade was like an unending ocean and towering mountain ranges.

What Xu Zimei needed was weight.

A weapon of extreme heaviness.

One could also call it a Heavy Weapon.

A heavy sword has no edge; great skill appears clumsy.

He had taken a liking to that Myriad Peoples' Relic earlier because it bore the will of countless beings; its weight was beyond question.

So Xu Zimei had gone to great lengths to snatch it over.

Now that the direction of "weight" had been confirmed, he said, "I want to find some heavy objects. Anything that can be used as a heavy Artifact Refining Material will do."

"Heavy objects?" Zhu Yunlong was a little surprised.

He had originally thought Xu Zimei would be more interested in treasures and the like.

He hadn't expected the other party to need Artifact Refining Materials even more.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Good Artifact Refining Materials can't be bought from those small stalls outside. I'll take you to the Ancient Tower."

"Generally speaking, whenever there are good items, some people will consign them to our Earth Divine Auction House for auction."

"You saw the auction that day as well. Anything we put up for auction will fetch an inflated price, which satisfies many people."

"But aside from auctions, there are also those who prefer to trade goods for goods; they don't want Contribution Value."

"After all, as you know, some things are priceless—no amount of money can buy them.

Only by trading items for items, in exchange for what they themselves need, does it carry meaning."

"Under such circumstances, the Ancient Tower came into being."

"Any ancient item brought out from the Divine Ruins can be traded in the Ancient Tower."

"Within the Ancient Tower, there are countless treasures brought out from the Divine Ruins."

"Of course, standing behind the Ancient Tower is the Myriad Immortals Alliance. It's said that from the very day the Myriad Immortals Alliance was founded, the Ancient Tower already existed."

"My lord, you can easily imagine how many treasures the Ancient Tower has accumulated over the endless years."

Zhu Yunlong explained as he led the way in front.

"The only thing you need to pay attention to, my lord, is whether, if you take a fancy to something, you have anything suitable to trade for it."

"Let's take a look first. We'll talk if something catches my eye," Xu Zimei said.

After all, his requirements were very high.

Things that met his standards for Artifact Refining Materials were extremely few and far between.

Zhu Yunlong merely gave a detailed introduction; as for the right to choose, that rested entirely in Xu Zimei's hands.

...…

Passing through the bustling main street, the vastness of this Underground World became even more striking.

But the Ancient Tower, at first glance, didn't seem as grand as one might imagine.

From the outside, it was merely a small, three-story building.

Put a building like this outside, and it would be utterly ordinary, not attracting any attention.

As if sensing Xu Zimei's confusion.

Zhu Yunlong smiled beside him and said, "My lord, you'll know once you go in. There is a world of its own hidden inside."

When they arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Tower, Xu Zimei found that although it could be considered lively, it wasn't as bustling as other places.

It wasn't that people were unwilling to come here, but rather that not everyone was qualified to enter the Ancient Tower.

Generally speaking, the treasures stolen from graves in the Divine Ruins could be damaged or intact.

There were items of high Grade, and naturally, there were also poor ones.

After all, different identities of the tomb owners meant that the burial goods accompanying them were naturally not the same.

And the items the Ancient Tower accepted for trade were all of high Grade; ordinary ancient items simply didn't catch their eye.

Thus, those who could enter the Ancient Tower were all people who possessed precious ancient items.

This, in turn, resulted in the place not being as prosperous as the outside world.

As the Divine Son of the Earth Divine Auction House, Zhu Yunlong still had some clout.

When the three of them entered the Ancient Tower, they were not stopped in any way.

As soon as he stepped inside, Xu Zimei immediately sensed something different.

A world of Space?

From the outside, the Ancient Tower looked very ordinary, but once inside, Xu Zimei discovered that it was actually a folded Space.

It was at least a dozen stories high, and the entire Space was connected as one; the aura of Teleportation Arrays lingered all around.

Zhu Yunlong explained from the side, "You know, stealing from a Divine Tomb is a capital crime."

"All of us are gamblers who lick blood from the edge of the blade."

"There's no need to construct anything too magnificent, because once the Divine Race arrives, everything will be destroyed."

"That's why the world inside is the true core."

"Once the Divine Race comes, we can immediately teleport away, leaving only an empty building for them."
