I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2535 - 2534: Light Lifeform, the Light That Assimilates All

"If your information is correct, then Light only exists on that Dead Star deep inside."

"But that used to be the Eternal Star Venerable's residence, so we haven't dared to go in."

Hearing the old man's words, Xu Zimei knew he hadn't come to the wrong place.

He casually rewarded the old man.

The other man was practically overjoyed.

At this moment, Xu Zimei glanced at Demon Noble and the others.

He decided to take Chong Wu in with him, while Demon Noble and Quan Shan would remain outside.

After all, the two of them were weaker; once they went in, they might encounter some danger and need his protection.

There was no point.

As for Chong Wu, Xu Zimei could see that his strength was formidable.

Although the man hadn't done anything astonishing along the way, nor deliberately shown off.

Xu Zimei could still sense it.

Whether on Daughter Star, or facing the Eternal Star Venerable, he hadn't shown even a trace of nervousness.

That alone proved he didn't fear those beings.

...…

After that, Xu Zimei and Chong Wu stepped into the air together, heading toward the interior of the Star Burst domain.

When they were still on the outer rim, they actually didn't feel much.

It only seemed that time and space were a bit distorted.

But the farther they went inward, the more they realized it was far more than just spacetime twisting.

Even the very rules were warping.

Xu Zimei could see ring after ring of ripples, like waves, spreading out in all directions.

It was as if a Stone had been thrown into water, stirring up those undulating ripples.

Once touched by those ripples, an ordinary Cultivator would likely be twisted to Death in an instant.

That was why those Cultivators only searched for treasure on the outskirts, not daring to enter deeper.

After the Big Dipper Seven Stars collided and all exploded back then, the treasures of those worlds scattered throughout the Star Burst domain.

So seeking treasure here was perfectly normal.

Ordinary Cultivators feared these ripples, but Xu Zimei didn't care at all.

The Power of the Great Dao circled his body; he wasn't afraid of the ripples' distortion in the slightest.

To put it simply, if the ripples were Qingfeng, then he was the Sky-reaching Great Tree standing on the cliff's edge.

Qingfeng could only stir the leaves, but found it hard to shake the tree itself.

So Xu Zimei fixed his gaze on the twisting void and continued forward.

Along the way, he discovered there were many treasures inside.

Because few people came in, many treasures had been preserved.

But Xu Zimei couldn't even be bothered to look at these.

Honestly, at his current level, unless it was something on the level of an Epochal Heavy Weapon.

It was hard for anything to catch his interest.

As the two went deeper and deeper, Xu Zimei finally saw that Dead Star.

It was a planet covered in cracks.

Its surface was densely packed with shattered fissures, as if it could break apart at any moment.

The surface was streaked with bands of brown.

Deathly qi coiled across it; truly a place where not a single blade of grass could survive.

Some called this the Light World, while others called it the Dead Star.

For one thing, this was indeed where the Light shone most intensely.

But it was also utterly unfit for any living being to dwell.

Xu Zimei strode forward through the air, pushing away all the distortions of the void.

Then he stepped directly into the Light World.

At the very instant he entered, Xu Zimei could barely open his eyes.

That boundless radiance and endless rays made one feel as if faced with a barrage of suns.

Even if Xu Zimei tried to adapt, it wouldn't be possible in a short time.

All he could do was spread his senses outward.

But within his perception, there was nothing but Light everywhere.

Xu Zimei didn't move recklessly; instead, he sat down cross-legged.

Before his eyes adjusted, he wasn't in a hurry to explore.

Chong Wu followed in right after him.

As soon as he entered, he exclaimed in surprise, "Such blinding Light—this must be where all the Light of the Big Dipper Seven Stars converged."

Chong Wu, however, showed no sign of discomfort in his eyes; instead, he looked around with interest.

"You can see?" Xu Zimei asked in surprise.

His impression of Chong Wu's senses was becoming ever more unfathomable.

Chong Wu merely smiled.

He replied, "I'm not the same as you."

But he didn't care to say more about the specifics.

Xu Zimei knew Chong Wu carried many secrets, but since the man wasn't willing to speak, he couldn't force him.

He simply asked Chong Wu to describe the surroundings.

"Haven't you noticed any changes in your body?" Chong Wu suddenly asked.

At first, Xu Zimei hadn't paid attention, but when he carefully sensed himself.

He discovered that this Light was actually trying to assimilate him.

Trying to make him part of the Light.

From a certain point of view, Light was harmless and non-toxic.

But when the Light grew too intense, the closer you got to it, the greater its influence.

Things like this were only fit to be admired from afar, not approached for exploration.

The Light had almost permeated Xu Zimei's entire body, every inch of skin, every drop of blood.

It even sought to infiltrate his Divine Soul and his True Fate.

Moreover, this Light wasn't forcibly trying to assimilate Xu Zimei.

It was simply its nature.

If Xu Zimei chose to leave this place, he would naturally be safe.

But if he stayed too long, he would sooner or later be assimilated and become part of the Light.

Seeing this, Chong Wu suggested, "Do you want to step back out first, and we can reconsider?"

"No need for all that trouble," Xu Zimei shook his head.

In the short term, he wouldn't be assimilated.

The stronger the power of Light, the more delighted he felt.

After all, once he mastered this power, not only could he use it to perfect the completeness of his True Fate World, he could also wield it in battle.

He asked Chong Wu to describe the interior of this planet for him.

Chong Wu wasn't in a rush.

He first stepped into the air, traversing the Light for a while.

Then he returned to Xu Zimei's side and said, "I just took a look. Within this Dead Star, all the Light has its source in seven suns."

"Rather than suns, you could say they're light-emitting cores similar to suns."

"If you want to master this Light, you'll have to first seize those seven solar sources."

As he said this, Chong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stared into the depths of the Light.

And frowned, saying, "The world is truly vast; there's nothing it doesn't contain."

"These rays of Light have actually birthed life."

"Life?" Xu Zimei was also somewhat astonished.

"No, not pure life."

Chong Wu corrected himself.

"They're only about the size of a palm, and look like some sort of intelligent entities—hardly qualified to be called life."

After all, aside from a world's self-gestation and the Creator's forging of humans.

There was no other way yet known to bring forth true life.

"These intelligent entities don't seem to have any offensive power," Chong Wu added casually.

Xu Zimei nodded.

At this moment, though his vision hadn't fully recovered, his Divine Soul's senses could roughly distinguish things.

Within his perception, there were indeed seven places where the Light was extremely intense.

They appeared to be exactly the seven sun-like objects Chong Wu had mentioned.

He rose to his feet and took the initiative to walk toward the center of the Light.

"You're not afraid of being assimilated?" Chong Wu asked, puzzled.

"I intend to be assimilated by it," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
