I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2377 - 2376: Underworld Soldiers Patrolling, The Power of a Single Blade

The Divine Ruins inside are simply... it's simply like a small world.

However, the Yin energy in this world is extremely dense.

Tomb after tomb rises from the ground, nourishing various underworld creatures, making them incredibly powerful.

After entering here, everyone began to scatter.

After all, everyone has different goals.

Moreover, in tomb raiding, if the target is the same tomb, there will inevitably be many disputes.

So basically everyone has different targets.

Old Ghost is already quite familiar with this place.

The outer tombs are not appealing to Xu Zimei, so this time he goes directly to the Fire God's tomb.

Zhu Yunlong also parted ways halfway.

Xu Zimei didn't force him.

After all, the Fire God's tomb is fraught with danger, even a lapse in attention by Old Ghost could be life-threatening.

So it's quite normal for Zhu Yunlong not to go.

By bringing Xu Zimei into the Divine Ruins, he had already accomplished his mission.

On the way inside, Xu Zimei saw many graves were almost entirely excavated.

Weak Divine Spirits were simply dug open violently.

While strong Divine Spirits would dig small holes from all directions to find the weakest point of the tomb.

One could say that in the tomb raiding industry, after so many years, there is no lack of skilled individuals.

Old Ghost is quite familiar with this outer area.

With him leading the way, Xu Zimei seldom encountered situations where he needed to take action.

Occasionally, a few skeletal creatures would block the path, but Old Ghost quickly resolved them himself.

"You saw the meteorite that fell into these Divine Ruins earlier, right?" Xu Zimei asked.

Old Ghost searched for a moment.

He thought Xu Zimei's goal was to find the Void Stone, and was puzzled why he suddenly asked about the meteorite.

He replied, "I've seen it. When the meteorite fell, I was tomb raiding within the Divine Ruins."

"Where did the meteorite land?" Xu Zimei couldn't help but ask.

"In the east, the very core of the Divine Ruins, possibly a Divine Emperor's Mausoleum," Old Ghost replied.

"Soon after the meteorite fell, the Divine Race sent people to investigate, but I don't know the specifics."

"You should understand, with our strength it's impossible to get near a Divine Emperor's Mausoleum."

"Do you want to excavate a Divine Emperor's Mausoleum?" Xu Zimei asked with interest.

Upon hearing this, Old Ghost's expression changed.

He said, "You truly jest. Even a Divine Monarch's Tomb almost cost me my life. A Divine Emperor's Mausoleum is out of the question for me."

"Following me, you might have a chance," Xu Zimei said.

Old Ghost didn't know how to respond for a while.

He thought Xu Zimei was fearless, saying such things, not knowing what was on his mind.

He could only continue leading the way.

Regardless, his life was saved by Xu Zimei, and he'd repay it one way or another.

After about the Hours of walking.

Old Ghost's footsteps suddenly halted.

He said to Xu Zimei, "Beyond here, we will enter the central area."

"Inside you'll find various Divine General, Divine King, and Divine Monarch tombs."

"This area is fraught with dangers. Even I must be extremely careful, lacking full confidence."

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He said, "Just lead the way, leave the rest to me."

Saying this, Xu Zimei glanced at Xu Sanduo beside him.

He said, "Take care of yourself. If things go wrong, just run."

Entering the central area, the number of tombs suddenly decreased.

Although there weren't many tombs left, each one became more magnificent.

White Bone monuments stood grounded, inscribed with the tomb owners' life deeds.

"Ragefire Lion God-King, the seventeenth generation Divine King, a king born of Monster Race and Divine Race bloodlines, renowned for countless battles, notably killing three Three Flowers experts at Tiandang Mountain."

"Wuxu Divine Monarch, the seventh generation Divine Monarch, devoted his life to legal reform within the Divine Court, exerting an indelible influence on the development of the Divine Court.

To this day, several of the reforms he advocated still exist."

Xu Zimei read each White Bone monument, using the inscriptions to learn about many tomb owners' lives.

Suddenly, the ground began to crack.

As if a quake, heavy yet deafening footsteps echoed.

Old Ghost's face changed upon hearing such commotion.

He exclaimed, "Not good, it's Underworld Soldiers Patrolling, let's quickly hide."

"What are Underworld Soldiers Patrolling?" Xu Zimei didn't hurry to hide but asked with interest.

"Ghosts wandering in the Divine Ruins, eventually forming Underworld Soldiers over time.

Each occurrence of Underworld Soldiers Patrolling brings tens of thousands of ghosts together.

Impossible to kill them all," Old Ghost explained.

If they were solitary ghosts, they wouldn't matter.

However, when their numbers reach the extreme, they transform.

These ghosts are incredibly troublesome, tomb raiders generally avoid confronting them directly.

Yet, Xu Zimei slowly drew the Tyrant Shadow from behind.

Calmly said, "Regardless of their numbers, they'll be annihilated under my blade."

Old Ghost simply thought Xu Zimei was mad.

He dared not linger; he took Xu Sanduo and hid in a nearby tomb.

And Xu Zimei stood alone on the Great Dao, looking toward its end.

"Rumble, rumble."

The footsteps drew closer, like a thousand troops crossing a narrow bridge.

Finally, at the road's end, the ghost army appeared.

These ghosts wore armor, resembling ethereal souls.

Without consciousness, yet any creature standing in their way would be instantly shredded.

The ghost army seemed to sense Xu Zimei's presence.

Marching originally, they now roared like demons, madly rushing toward Xu Zimei.

"Clang" the sound of the blade echoed through the heavens and the earth.

Xu Zimei raised the long blade in his hand, slowly descending.

On this strike, the vast Power of the Great Dao was like an endless ocean.

Surging waves, engulfing everything.

The next moment, it seemed the heavens and earth were cleaved in two.

Old Ghost, hiding, could only stare, dumbfounded.

They saw the blade explode within the ghost army.

The entire Divine Ruins seemed to tremble.

Countless ghosts were obliterated by the Blade Qi.

The once-august ghost army now lay completely annihilated.

Ghosts leave no corpse in death.

But the fissure on the ground seemed to proclaim just how powerful that strike had been.

"Let's keep moving forward," Xu Zimei said.

"Master is invincible," Old Ghost exclaimed upon regaining composure.

"With such strength, we could traverse the central area without a care."

"How far is the Fire God's tomb from here?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Over the mountain ahead, the Fire God is quite special; he occupies a unique Feng Shui treasure land alone," Old Ghost explained.
