I Truly Am The Villian

The Divine Soul's growth wasn't supported by any spell, but it became truly powerful.

Prior to this, Xu Zimei also had a second Battle Body, which was the Nine Regions Grand Body in the aspect of the Divine Soul.

Now that the Divine Soul had grown stronger, this Nine Regions Grand Body had completely fused with it.

The number Nine Regions represents the ultimate.

The structure of Grand Body is the pinnacle of defense.

In terms of the power of the Divine Soul alone, Xu Zimei felt that within the Great Emperor realm, be it Heaven Venerable or Realm of Life and Death, none had a Divine Soul as strong as his.

To be invincible in the Divine Soul within the five realms of Great Emperor would not be an exaggeration.

He took a deep breath. Having entered the Divine Passage Realm, Xu Zimei felt a deeper connection with the Tenth Vein Gate.

When he had just stepped into the Great Emperor realm, the Tenth Vein Gate had been utterly out of reach.

But as his realm burst forth, more and more meridians and Dark Points within his body were being unlocked.

The more power he accumulated, the stronger it became.

He knew that in the end, it would be like a Torrent of power that would completely unlock the Tenth Vein Gate.

By doing so, he would step into the Great Saint realm.

But there was still a significant gap from where he stood now.

The Divine Soul was self-contained, with a growing power boiling within him.

Xu Zimei's figure stepped down into the void, and Bai Meng and a few others also came forward to greet him.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

"I'm still far off," Xu Zimei waved his hand, showing no rush or impatience.

Because he knew the road ahead was long and twisted and far away, such matters couldn't be rushed.

In the practice, things will unfold naturally, and what is important is enlightenment.

"Let's first have a look at this so-called Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable," said Xu Zimei.

The group approached Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable.

Because the power of the infinite Great Dao formed a Suppression on Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable, he had no strength to resist.

In the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei could arbitrarily utilize the powers of various Great Daos.

"Now we can get to know each other properly," Xu Zimei said with a faint smile.

"You... you are the Demon King," from just now until present, Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable's cold sweat on his forehead had never stopped.

He knew what the man before him signified.

Once, he started an era, initiated a war across the skies, and even spread darkness throughout the entire Continent.

Even now, after ages and the change of times, the sun and moon go round in circles, but the reappearance of this man awoke that fear once again.

He couldn't forget, and many from the Holy Court couldn't forget either.

Because those past events bore the deepest mark that could not be erased, branded into their bones – things and memories.

"Does it matter to you whether I am or not?" Xu Zimei replied.

"Whatever the case, it doesn't change your status as a prisoner at my feet."

"If you are the Demon Lord, dying at your hands, I, Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable, wouldn't consider it unjust. I live up to the two words in my name," said Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable.

"I have no intention of letting you die," Xu Zimei said.

"Let's talk about the Holy Court."

"No need to waste your breath, I will not speak a word about the Holy Court," Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable said.

"What if I let you go?" Xu Zimei asked.

"On the condition of freedom and life."

"I don't make deals with the Demon Race," said Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable, unmoved, indifferently.

Xu Zimei stood up, knowing that words were useless with such a person.

Not afraid of death, with no vulnerabilities to threaten, and with a deep hatred for the Demon Race.

He looked at Bai Meng and asked, "Is there any method to forcibly probe his memory?"

"For others it's possible, but not for people from the Holy Court," Bai Meng shook his head.

"Every person in the Holy Court is connected to their Life Lamp.

Once their memories are forcibly searched, the Life Lamp will extinguish instantly, and with the lamp's extinguishment comes death.

"The Holy Court is not as easy to deal with as imagined."

"Then keep him imprisoned in there for now, and you guys try to extract some information," Xu Zimei said.

Even though the Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable did not find out anything, he was not discouraged; he did not hold much hope to begin with.

After advancing to the Divine Passage Realm, he looked at the Xuan Yuan Sword in his hands.

To be precise, the Xuan Yuan Sword was already useless.

However, as the third-ranked existence in the grand myriad of things, it was somewhat stronger than his own Tyrant Shadow.

Especially since it was a Sword of Faith.

The amount of Power of Faith it received also determined its strength.

Xu Zimei planned to integrate the Xuan Yuan Sword into his Tyrant Shadow.

Giving up the Tyrant Shadow to switch to using the Xuan Yuan Sword was impossible.

Tyrant Shadow had accompanied him all the way; in a sense, it was no longer just a cold weapon.

It's more akin to a partner.

With the integration of the Xuan Yuan Sword, he had no idea how strong Tyrant Shadow would eventually become.

But one could imagine that it would definitely not be weaker than other weapons.

To merge with the Xuan Yuan Sword, Xu Zimei prepared to do it in the Divine Continent.

Because if it was done in the Nine Domains, once the Tyrant Shadow took shape, the ensuing Heavenly Tribulation would likely be more than he could handle at the moment.

Whereas the Divine Continent is an entity unto itself, unaffected by the influence of the Nine Domains and it also shields against the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Domains.

The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Domains can't control his Divine Continent.

Everything will be much simpler by then.

The only problem he faces at the moment is how to forge it.

When he initially forged Tyrant Shadow and the True Divine Sword, it was the Stone Race who helped to integrate the forging for him.

Now, to integrate the Xuan Yuan Sword, the difficulty might increase by hundreds or thousands of times.

Xu Zimei had never dabbled in artifact refinement, and although with his realm, ordinary artifact refinement wouldn't pose much challenge to him.

Just like his previous pill refinement, it was a matter of his own realm's level and the merits of the Great Mysterious Pill Scripture.

But as for artifact refinement, this time's refinement was like concocting an Emperor Pill, or even stronger.

Without powerful artifact refinement techniques to help, Xu Zimei did not dare to proceed rashly.

If he failed, damage to both weapons would be too great a loss.

After thinking it over, he decided to seek someone else for the task of refinement.

Within the Nine Domains, there must be many Great Grandmasters of artifact refinement, many enthralled by the craft for tens of millions of years, and there should be better options available.

Xu Zimei decided to take one step at a time.

......…

"My lord," the Seven-faced Demon General and the others came over.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Zimei moved the Demon-Breaking Heaven Venerable to the Myriad Demons Tribe, to avoid obstruction here.

"Now, let's talk about the Ancient Demon Cave," Xu Zimei said.

"Currently, the Ancient Demon Cave has been exiled, and if we wish to go there, we can only force our way through the Spatial Wall to enter the Exile Lands," the Seven-faced Demon General said.

Seven-faced Demon General continued, "However, the Spatial Wall of the Nine Domains is not something we can penetrate.

Even the Great Saints would be of no help."

Xu Zimei nodded slightly. He had been to the Eternal Ancient Continent before, a minor world, and was still able to forcefully break through the Spatial Wall to return.

But the Spatial Wall of the Nine Domains could not be compared to those of other worlds.

"Do you have any methods?" Xu Zimei asked.

Bai Meng and the others all shook their heads.

"There are definitely methods, it's just that we do not know of them," Bai Meng said.

"We don't know much about the Nine Domains."

"I know of a person who may be worth consulting," Xu Zimei said.
