I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1380: The next target is Xiyuan Civilization, Ten Direction universe sealing barrier

These magnificent galaxies formed a continuous expanse, reflecting nebula-like colors and inhabited by numerous ethnic groups of the immortal civilization. The army that Zhuoyou brought to fight against the Dao Chang Realm this time originated from these galaxies’ ethnic groups. In terms of background alone, it was far inferior to forces like the Zhuo clan. However, compared to other new civilizations, the power of these ethnic groups should not be underestimated, as there were individuals within the clan comparable to immortal kings.

All kinds of crystal-bright rays of light, reflected from these galaxies, were vibrant and rich. Throughout the vast universe, strands of luck surged from all directions, turbulent and expansive, resembling undulating oceans. This was the base camp of the Zhuo Clan, which had accumulated the strong luck of this group for hundreds of millions of years.

In the past, the other great clans of the immortal civilization could not enter without permission.

The luck of just one major clan is almost comparable to the entire accumulation of the Spiritual civilization. The foundation of this immortal civilization is truly terrifying.

Ling Huang thought, feeling secretly shocked by the sights she encountered along the way.

They had not yet reached the core area of the Zhuo clan; this could only be considered a relatively peripheral region. If they ventured into the actual core, the power of luck would undoubtedly be even more astonishing. She could only lament that it truly deserved its high ranking among the ancient civilizations, showcasing an extraordinary background.

At best, the Spiritual civilization had only managed to touch the threshold of ancient civilizations and was not ranked among them at all. As the empress of the Spiritual royal family, she had long faced blame due to her ancestors’ orders, resulting in scorn from all clans. Yet, deep down, she fervently hoped for the growth and prosperity of the Spiritual royal family, aspiring for it to move toward a more glorious era.

Bone Ancestor, dressed like an old servant, remained silent, though the disdain in his eye sockets was unmistakable. After all, he was on the verge of achieving the ancestral realm and was not easily shocked by what lay before him. Among the civilizations he had once destroyed, many existed that were comparable to the Zhuo clan; why would he care about those in front of him?

Gu Changge, Bone Ancestor, and Ling Huang walked beneath the vast and empty starry sky. Though their pace seemed slow, they covered thousands of miles, leaving the entire universe behind them. In that moment, even those in the Zhuo clan who were comparable to the Dao Realm could not perceive their aura fluctuations, let alone detect their presence.

Within the territory governed by the Zhuo Clan, numerous large universes and ancient worlds existed. Essentially, in each large universe, there would be beings comparable to or even surpassing the immortal king.

One side of the world advanced like this; even with an invasion by foreign enemies, they would have to pay a substantial price to penetrate the depths of the clan. The closer one got to the core area of the Zhuo Clan, the stronger the beings residing in the large universe became, with many individuals comparable to the Dao Realm.

“The immortal civilization has four major clans: the Zhuo clan, the Hun clan, the Wu clan, and the Gou clan.”

“The strength and background of the other three tribes are not weaker than that of the Zhuo clan. Among them, the Wu tribe and the Gou clan are the oldest clans in the immortal civilization, and their strength may be slightly greater.”

Ling Huang spoke softly, sharing information she had obtained from Zhuoyou and others earlier.

The Zhuo clan and the Hun clan actually have a long history. It is said that their first-generation ancestors were conceived from the most primitive turbid air at the dawn of the immortal civilization. That wisp of turbid air evolved into two beings, who became the first-generation ancestors of the Hun clan and the Zhuo clan, respectively. After many epochs of development, the present-day Zhuo and Hun clans came into being.

The other two clans, the Wu clan and the Gou clan, had an even longer history, and even Zhuoyou and the others couldn’t explain it clearly. Yet, the entire immortal civilization had developed into a four-legged confrontation, with the four races coexisting and restraining one another.

“Given the current strength of the Spiritual civilization, it is indeed challenging to break through and occupy the immortal civilization from the outside, and there is almost no hope,” Gu Changge said, nodding slightly in agreement.

Naturally, he did not expect to rely on the power of the Spiritual civilization to fully and firmly control the immortal civilization. After all, the immortal civilization could be considered the most powerful among the ancient civilizations. The gap between the Spiritual civilization and the immortal civilization was akin to that of an ordinary immortal creature facing an immortal king.

Gu Changge had other plans for his visit to the immortal civilization this time.

In his opinion, Zhuozu represented a significant breakthrough. “The background of the immortal civilization is terrifying, and it is also tied to the Xi Yuan civilization. Every era, it pays tribute with numerous resources in exchange for protection.”

“The Xi Yuan civilization is a renowned and powerful entity in the boundless world, with an unimaginable foundation. It has endured many purges and calamities, remaining immortal.”

“For the Xi Yuan civilization, the immortal civilization is merely a servant. If an accident were to occur here, it would alert the Xi Yuan civilization and lead to even greater trouble.”

At this moment, Ling Huang was also analyzing the situation they might face seriously. Although Gu Changge’s strength was unfathomable, he was just one person after all. Behind the immortal civilization stood the Xi Yuan civilization, a powerful force comparable to the Xu Dan realm. Just sending a being from the ancestral Dao Realm could quell many disasters.

The real world where the Spiritual civilization originated was actually within the jurisdiction of the Xu Dan Realm. However, the heritage of the Spiritual civilization was insufficient to capture the attention of the Xu Dan Realm, rendering it unqualified for any affiliation.

In the boundless world, besides the Nine Heavens, the Xudan Realm, Xi Yuan Civilization, and other supreme powers were among the most renowned. Of course, this was only from the perspective of the Spiritual civilization. The boundless world was vast, and in other regions, there were undoubtedly other supreme civilizations that were not weaker than the Xudan Realm and Xi Yuan Civilization.

Xi Yuan civilization.

Gu Changge muttered these three words softly, yet he did not launch a direct attack on the immortal civilization. In reality, it was because the currently available power was insufficient, which would lead to numerous complications. If he were in control of a supreme civilization, he wouldn’t have to contend with such worries.

The Xi Yuan civilization, to which the immortal civilization was attached, was his next target. However, as Gu Changge pondered these matters, he remained cautious.

Boom!!!

In the core area of the Zhuo clan ahead, a misty divine light suddenly shot up into the sky. This ethereal light pierced through all the great universes at once, as if it were opening a series of time and space passages. Many dark and deep universes were illuminated by this misty divine light, transforming them into crystal clear and blazing realms.

From the perspective of Gu Changge and the others, a barrier resembling a light curtain suddenly emerged from the deep region of the Zhuo Clan, instantly covering a vast area of the clan’s land and territory. The light of this enchantment was extremely dazzling, radiating a strong aura of law around it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, the barrier was impressively thick, extending hundreds of feet, completely sealing off the void. Heavy and majestic chaotic fluctuations permeated and interwove near the barrier, cascading down like a vast galaxy pouring from the heavens. Without the strength of the Immortal King level, it was absolutely impossible to tear through this barrier and escape.

At this moment, the Zhuo people in the area seemed to be alarmed. Streams of light flew out from many universes, transforming into figures filled with shock and surprise.

“What happened? Why did some elders suddenly activate the ten-direction universe barrier to block this area?”

“Could it be that something major has occurred? Only the heavenly elders are qualified to activate the ten-direction universe barrier.”

“Once the ten-direction universe barrier is activated, no one from the Zhuo Clan is allowed to leave without authorization, and without the strength of the Immortal King, no one can break through the formation…”

The clansmen of the Zhuo clan, filled with shock, appeared in various starry skies. The resplendent formation turned into a divine light that soared into the sky, covering a vast area of the surrounding universe. Turbulent laws and fluctuations permeated the air, blocking everything.

The ten-direction universe barrier was a decree of the Zhuo clan. It would only be activated in the event of a major incident, preventing clansmen from going out, or when someone was to be apprehended. It had been tens of millions of years since the last activation of the ten-direction universe barrier, and many members of the Zhuo clan had almost forgotten this decree.

At this moment, I sensed once again the terrifying aura that sealed the world and imprisoned time and space.

The expressions of many people shifted to shock and surprise.

On the territory of the Zhuo clan, who would dare to be so presumptuous as to compel a heavenly elder to activate the ten-direction universe barrier and seal off the entire world, along with time and space?

“What’s going on? Could it be that the Zhuo clan has noticed our arrival and wants to block these universes to prevent us from escaping?”

“However, the Zhuo clan seems to have underestimated our strength. How could such a large formation possibly trap us?”

Ling Huang was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events, but as she processed it, her astonishment grew.

Gu Changge’s expression remained largely unchanged. He shook his head slightly, gazed into the distance, and said with a hint of curiosity, “This great formation that seals the sky and the earth is not meant to trap us.”

Boom!!!

The moment his voice fell, in a dark place hundreds of millions of miles away, a brilliant rain of light suddenly erupted, far more shocking and dazzling than the great formation just now. This radiant light illuminated the area translucently, revealing a white-haired figure with a human face.

“Dare to kill my descendants! From now on, you will roam heaven and earth without a chance of survival, and no one will save you.”

Standing there, her figure seemed to fill the entire starry sky, her face radiating coldness and killing intent, while her voice echoed with anger throughout the universe. The eyebrows of this white-haired woman glowed, then split apart like vertical pupils.

With a mere glance, endless light and rain poured forth, spreading across hundreds of millions of miles and distorting time and space.

Countless particles of energy and light continuously flew around her, drawn in by her outstretched hand as she began to reorganize them, attempting to re-evolve a specific scene.

It’s Elder Zhuowu.

I heard what Elder Zhuowu said. Could it be that someone has killed her descendants? Who would dare to harm even the descendants of a Heavenly Elder?

This is simply suicide!

The members of the Zhuo clan in the great universe were utterly shocked by this figure. Many knelt down in fear and reverence, not daring to show any disrespect. Some Zhuo clan members were even more concerned about being implicated, their bodies trembling with terror.

The wrath of a heavenly elder was not something to be easily appeased, especially the blood-soaked hatred stemming from the murder of her descendants.

In the future, the clan land of the Zhuo clan would likely not be peaceful. If the murderer could not be found, it would be impossible to lift the ten-direction universe barrier, and people would undoubtedly come to inspect it every day.

“To make Elder Zhuowu so angry, I fear that someone has killed her most important descendant. It may even be that her soul light was completely extinguished, leaving nothing but emptiness. Resurrection, reincarnation, and reconstruction would all be nothing more than extravagant hopes.”

The most important descendant of Elder Zhuowu? Could it be Zhuo Tianyin, one of the ten most powerful contemporary evildoers of our Zhuo clan?

This is a serious matter. I truly wonder who could be so ruthless!

Within the clan land of the Zhuo clan, many clansmen who were somewhat familiar with Elder Zhuowu were equally horrified and incredulous. This was one of the ten most powerful contemporary evildoers of the Zhuo clan, right in the heart of their territory.

Moreover, he was also a descendant of a heavenly elder. This alone was enough to make people tremble with fear; it was likely to pierce the heavens.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, the heavenly elder named Zhuowu wore a frosty expression. She employed supreme means to continuously gather large amounts of energy and light particles, extracting them from various times and spaces. The long river of time boiled in front of her, and the light and rain grew increasingly brilliant, aiming to reproduce the scene of her descendant’s death and identify the location of that demise.

That descendant was a vessel she had painstakingly cultivated, meant to house her spirit after her physical body decayed. But now, her descendant had been killed, and even the last flicker of soul light had been extinguished, leaving no trace behind.

How could this not make her furious? She longed for her real body to descend from the ancestral realm of the Zhuo clan, to personally capture the murderer, pull out his muscles and bones, and tear him to pieces so that he could never be reborn.

However, this was still the clan land of the Zhuo clan.

As a Heavenly Elder, she couldn’t act recklessly, as it would provoke the dissatisfaction and anger of the other elders. Many clansmen present were also descendants of those elders, and she could not act on her own accord.

It’s hateful; it’s impossible to reshape the scene from that time. However, there is a fragment of my spirit within that descendant of mine. If you kill him, it means you have become entangled with my karma. With the backlash of this karma, you cannot escape—I will find you.

Zhuowu’s expression darkened, but then she sneered once more. She attempted to reshape the scene from that time, tracing back through space and time to determine the circumstances of her junior’s death. However, it seemed the other party had been prepared, completely obliterating and burning all traces of the scene that once was.

It’s a pity that the other party underestimated her abilities. Although the traces of the past had been obliterated, the cause and effect of the future were difficult to sever. Could the other party truly accept the cause and effect of the Dao realm?

Ahem!

Indeed, a descendant of a Heavenly Elder is not so easy to kill. I have already suffered a terrible backlash before I even managed to kill him.

If he is truly dead, even with the protection of the Eternal God Furnace, he will sustain great injuries.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of miles away from Zhuowu, in a galaxy belonging to the Zhuo Clan, a figure spoke weakly to himself. This galaxy was shrouded in gray; from a distance, it resembled a boundless desert, but in reality, it was composed of gray crystals.

The figure sat cross-legged on a piece of crystal, his body cracking in multiple places, blood gushing forth—a clear indication of his severe injuries. In front of him, a sacred furnace surrounded by brilliant flames bobbed up and down, burning a screaming figure within it. Despite the weakness in her breath, her eyes shone brightly.
