I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2398 - 2397: Heavenly Dao Above, Black Hole Prototype Achieved

The result of that battle was a devastating blow to the Holy Ancestor.

He had never imagined that the once revered dominator of the Nine Domains, whom he had worshipped for countless years,

would prove so vulnerable and frail before the Heavenly Dao.

A failure of epic proportions.

This left a shadow in the heart of the Holy Ancestor.

Later, he gradually transformed from a steadfast Heaven Challenger to a mere lapdog of the Heavenly Dao.

He feared the Heavenly Dao, believing it was undefeatable.

Thus, he embraced the mentality of "if you can't beat them, join them."

At that time, he submitted to the Heavenly Dao, chosen as a spokesperson, traversing the world and gaining unimaginable power.

After the era of the Primordial God-King, the Holy Ancestor began to cultivate assiduously, developing silently.

He hoped to become more useful.

He feared being worthless himself and feared being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.

And so, it persisted until the era of the Demon's Advent.

A man named Demon King reigned over the world.

The Demon Lord ruled the entire world, and darkness descended upon the realm.

That man sought to challenge the heavens.

At that time, the Holy Ancestor felt his cultivation had achieved success and wanted to do something for the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, he challenged that man.

This matter became a long-standing unresolved grievance in the Holy Ancestor's heart.

That man simply looked at him calmly.

His eyes, shrouded in black qi, seemed to carry countless emotions, such as disdain, contempt, or even others.

Or perhaps these were merely the imaginations of the Holy Ancestor.

Those eyes actually harbored no emotions at all.

Because at that time, he was not worth the man's notice.

But it was precisely that single glance.

The Holy Ancestor found himself prostrating on the ground, not daring to move.

That man did not kill him, merely passed by and patted his shoulder.

His entire body trembled, feeling an extreme sense of humiliation.

No matter when, the Holy Ancestor dared not forget that scene.

But later, that man also failed in his Heaven Challenge.

This made the Holy Ancestor immensely happy.

There were just too many incredibly talented people in the world.

Whether it was the invincible Primordial Overlord who attained the Dao, or the Demon Lord reigning over the world, or even the Empress who illuminated the ages later on.

Each one was stronger than himself.

Yet, he was the one who managed to thrive better than all of them.

That was because they chose the wrong path, while he was the only one who walked the right, correct path.

It was from then on that the Holy Ancestor decided to follow his path to the very end.

Loyal and profoundly trusting the Heavenly Dao.

In this world, only the Heavenly Dao is eternal.

...…

The scene returns to inside the Eternal Chime Hall.

Surrounding the Holy Ancestor was a terrifying qi sea nurturing infinite power.

He slightly raised his head, looking towards the position of the Firmament.

His gaze seemed to collide with an unknown existence high above in the Firmament.

"With the Heavenly Dao above, I am willing to stake everything, solely for this battle."

...…

Within the Kun Ruins Domain.

At this moment, Xu Zimei's aura was also growing stronger and stronger.

This kind of strength was unparalleled.

Because he was evolving a Black Hole.

During the evolution process, everything around would be completely devoured.

For a Black Hole has no boundaries.

It can devour everything.

The surrounding time, space, including all things.

It would all be absorbed into the Black Hole.

This Black Hole was the embryonic form of Xu Zimei's Divine Continent evolution.

This embryonic form had a robust growth potential and future.

Generally, founders wouldn't choose something as immensely difficult to evolve.

It required vast and massive resources.

Xu Zimei had not seen other worlds.

The strongest he had seen was the Nine Domains World.

The Nine Domains Immortal Venerable took the nine-layered pagoda as the focus, evolving the Nine Domains World.

If it developed well enough, the Nine Domains World could split into nine, with a bright and expansive future.

Unfortunately, the Nine Domains Immortal Venerable departed early.

The development of the Nine Domains World grew increasingly stagnant.

Until now, it has already started to decline.

The Heavenly Dao was a good executor, but not suitable as a ruler.

When the Black Hole formed at that moment.

It signified Xu Zimei had completely absorbed the success of devouring the core of the Heavenly Dao.

Though the Divine Continent had not yet grown from a medium-sized world to a large world.

Undoubtedly, on the path to becoming a large world, it had taken another crucial step forward.

On the path for the Divine Land to advance, Xu Zimei had taken three steps.

The first step was integrating technology cultivation, advancing side by side with immortality cultivation, running on two legs together.

Second, utilizing the rules of causality to prevent the emergence of figures like the Divine Emperor in Divine Land, taking all beings as sacrificial dogs.

And also introducing returning the Dao to heaven.

Allowing cultivators not just to take from nature, but to give back to it after death.

Thirdly, was the devouring of the Heavenly Dao core.

Consolidating the world's embryonic form.

At that moment, the Divine Continent discovered earth-shattering changes.

Seeing the entire world's borders starting to expand outward, spontaneously stretching a billion miles of land, vast mountains and rivers, boundless and infinite.

This is the development of the world, with increasingly dense Spiritual Energy in the air.

It was indeed the best era for cultivators.

Previously absorbing nature's spiritual energy required three days to break through, but it was shortened to two days.

This was due to the enhanced quality of Spiritual Energy.

Of course, this was just a snapshot of the entire world's development.

The larger picture depicted a more expansive Great Dao.

This equally fed back to Xu Zimei.

Allowing him to understand the Hundred Million Daos more thoroughly.

After a long while, Xu Zimei opened his eyes.

Sighing deeply.

"All things are prepared, only the eastern wind is lacking."

As of now, he only needed to pierce the membrane of the Hundred Million Daos to completely possess the capital to challenge heaven.

Yet, this membrane Xu Zimei had contemplated for a long time.

He found it difficult to break through.

But just moments ago, he suddenly received a divine blessing, gained insight.

The opportunity for a breakthrough should be within the Ancient Demon Cave.

The Ancient Demon Cave was a place Xu Zimei hadn't mentioned or interacted with for a long time.

The former Demon Lord failed in his Heaven Challenge.

The entire Demon Lord underwent a comprehensive reckoning.

Before dying, the Demon Lord forcefully opened the Heaven's Threshold, sending the Ancient Demon Cave completely outside the domain.

This gave the Demon Race a chance to make a comeback.

Allowing them to preserve more of their living forces.

However, the enemy wasn't foolish.

Especially the Holy Court, they wouldn't go outside the domain to slay the Demon Race.

But they completely sealed off the passage to the outside domain.

The people from the Nine Domains couldn't go outside the domain.

And those outside the domain couldn't return.

It was truly a permanent separation, never to meet again.

Xu Zimei previously collected the Ancient God's heritage, firstly to enhance his power through the heritage.

Secondly, and most importantly.

The power of the Ancient God could break the sealing outside the domain.

It's known that the Holy Court's power for sealing outside the domain was specifically devised against the Demon Race's Divine Pattern.

These Divine Patterns were studied from the Ancient God's Great Dao.

To destroy the Divine Pattern, Demonic Qi wouldn't suffice.

Forceful assault would only backfire, making the Divine Pattern more troublesome, and the Holy Court wouldn't sit idly.

Only with the power of the Ancient God could the Divine Pattern be directly eliminated.

This presented the smallest cost and the highest chance of success.

Through Xu Zimei's efforts, he had already collected eight of the Nine Ancient Gods.
