I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363: Frightening sense of oppression, all beings are equal under one palm

The endless rain of bright light exploded like a brilliant sun, illuminating the previously dead and dark universe. The terrifying aftermath spread rapidly, causing the cosmos to collapse in an instant, riddled with holes and left incomplete. A vast section of the river of time evaporated into s.h.i.+mmering particles of energy.

At the moment when the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Civilization was completely annihilated, a deep sense of panic, inconceivability, and despair lingered in his eyes. He never expected that such a terrifying figure would suddenly emerge, capable of freezing and obliterating all his vitality with a mere gesture.

This kind of overwhelming power was likely far superior to that of Zhuoyou, Zhuohua, and other beings who were considered among the lowest tier in the Dao realm.

After all, he was a true Immortal Emperor. It took countless eras to give birth to such an invincible existence, one that looked upon the past and the present with unparalleled strength. Overseeing the vicissitudes of time, he was a powerful figure revered across countless civilizations.

Yet now, to fall in such a manner, without even a chance to contend, felt like an ant being crushed to death. Strong feelings of unwillingness and despair permeated the depths of the universe. All cultivators and creatures sensed this fluctuation, experiencing a mix of shock and fear.

The armies engaged in battle between the Dao Chang Realm and the Immortal Civilization fell into a profound silence at this sight. Countless horrified and disbelieving gazes were fixed upon the young man, trembling in awe.

“Good… It’s the lord…”

At that moment, someone in the Dao Chang Realm exclaimed in surprise, their voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement, fanaticism, and reverence. They could hardly contain their desire to wors.h.i.+p in the direction of this remarkable figure, irrespective of the opponent before them.

On the rest of the battlefield, many creatures from the Dao Chang Realm, engaged in combat with their opponents, shouted excitedly, “It’s the lord! It’s really him!” Overwhelmed with joy, some wept and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.

“Very good… The lord of the alliance has appeared! There will be no surprises in this battle; no one will be a match for him.”

“This will be our moment to counterattack and make these invading enemies pay a heavy price.”

Many Immortal Kings were equally thrilled, roaring with exhilaration. They viewed this moment as a ray of light piercing through the darkness, illuminating the despair that had surrounded them. For many, this invasion by foreign enemies felt like a trial left by Gu Changge, a test of their strength and resilience. They believed he was in control of the entire situation, ensuring it wouldn’t spiral out of hand.

With Gu Changge’s appearance, the tide had turned in their favor. The antic.i.p.ation of his arrival fueled their excitement, allowing them to channel all their previous hatred, anger, and frustration into a renewed fighting spirit. Across the battlefields of the Dao Chang Realm, a palpable energy surged as countless warriors, emboldened, prepared to charge into battle once more against the invading forces.

“Hahaha! The old man knew all along that our worries were unfounded! With the lord of the alliance here, how could Miss Xian’er be in danger?”

Hei Ming laughed heartily, his voice resonating throughout the universe. He shook off the weight of his earlier struggle, reversing the tide of his confrontation as he began to counterattack his opponent. In his mind, Gu Changge’s arrival signified that he had already taken note of the battle, ensuring that the overall situation was under control and that no further surprises would emerge.

The rest of the warriors shared his sentiment, their fears evaporating as they regained their composure. It was as if they had found a solid foundation to rally around, their spirits buoyed by the confidence that their lord was present to lead them. Excitement coursed through their veins, fueling their resolve to fight back against their foes.

In stark contrast to the exhilaration felt by those in the Dao Chang Realm, the powerhouses of the immortal civilization were gripped by a profound chill. The immortal emperors nearest to that part of the universe felt their scalps tingle with apprehension.

Although the young man, shrouded in mystery, had not yet made a move since his arrival, his mere presence was suffused with an overwhelming aura. His calm and indifferent gaze seemed to pierce through the very fabric of their beings, probing their primordial spirits and binding their true souls in an invisible grip of dread.

Just a single finger had the power to obliterate an immortal emperor. With such immense strength, the desire to kill them would merely be a matter of thought.

Who is this person?

The complexion of the most powerful figure of the immortal civilization, who was locked in battle with the ancient cultivator Yuan Chan, changed drastically. A cold s.h.i.+ver ran down his spine. He was an existence comparable to the Dao Realm, yet in the presence of this figure, he felt an overwhelming sense of fear and anxiety. It was both unbelievable and horrifying.

Why was such a being manifesting in this seemingly insignificant newborn realm?

Yuan Chan, the ancient cultivator, was equally astonished. Emotions flickered across his face as he processed the revelation. Before coming to the Dao Chang Realm, he had believed that the Demon Lord had only brushed against the threshold of the Dao Realm, at most, akin to his great disciple Fen Ruo.

Looking at the scene before him, Yuan Chan realized that this level of strength was far beyond anything he could have antic.i.p.ated.

Even Master Daoist Eternal Monarch’s dharma body doesn’t exude such a terrifying sense of oppression.

Various thoughts raced through his mind as he struggled to comprehend the magnitude of the threat.

On the other side, Zhuoyou, engaged in battle with Gu Wuw.a.n.g, felt a wave of panic wash over her. Her eyes widened, betraying her anxiety as she shouted an urgent order for her army to retreat. The moment Gu Changge appeared, she sensed a profound s.h.i.+ft in the atmosphere.

A great terror descended from an unseen source, enveloping her entirely, causing the light in her heart to tremble incessantly. In that moment, she finally understood that the source of her unease had originated before she even arrived in the Dao Chang Realm.

The figure before Zhuoyou was not a real body but a dharma body, exuding an aura of invincibility and terror. The thought of what might happen if the real body were to manifest sent chills down her spine.

“Haha! Do you finally understand the gravity of your situation? It’s too late for regrets now,” Gu Wuw.a.n.g mocked, his previous calmness replaced with a loud, triumphant laugh that echoed throughout the cosmos.

“I warned you long ago that you would pay for your actions. You’ve brought endless calamities upon the civilization that stands behind you. You are the true sinner of your people.”

His voice rang out like a celestial bell, reaching every corner of the universe and igniting a surge of excitement among the army of the Dao Chang Realm. They cheered, bolstered by the a.s.surance that their adversaries would soon face dire consequences for their hubris.

Boom!

With all his strength unleashed, Gu Wuw.a.n.g’s attack reverberated through the fabric of eternal time and s.p.a.ce. The essence of countless Daos coalesced into a powerful force, surging forward like a tidal wave. Hundreds of millions of Dao principles formed a vast cage, ensnaring Zhuoyou and her companions, cutting off their escape routes.

Zhuohua, nearly as formidable as Zhuoyou, felt a wave of fear and anxiety wash over him. He realized the enigmatic young man’s gaze was fixed upon their battlefield, scrutinizing both Zhuoyou and himself, amplifying their sense of dread.

In the previously silent battlegrounds, chaos erupted anew. Brilliant rays of light shot into the sky as the Dao Chang Realm s.h.i.+fted its strategy, moving from defense to a counteroffensive against the retreating forces of the immortal civilization. The armies surged forward like a mighty ocean, determined to reclaim their ground.

“Eh… Gu Changge…”

On the other side, Gu Xian’er stood in stunned silence, her mind racing to comprehend the unfolding scene. She had never expected that Gu Changge had always been by her side, ready to intervene when the stakes were highest.

No, it was the means to protect her, the one who had always stood by her side. Just moments ago, Gu Xian’er had feared that Gu Changge might have truly left the Dao Chang Realm for good. But in the blink of an eye, when her life hung in the balance, he reappeared as if summoned by fate.

Her nose tinged with emotion, a bittersweet mixture of jealousy and warmth swelling within her heart. After hundreds of years, she had finally laid eyes on him again, and it was just as it had always been.

Gu Xian’er couldn’t recall how many times this had happened. Each time she found herself in peril, he would emerge like a savior, standing before her and s.h.i.+elding her from harm. This had been true during their encounters in the Immortal Ancient Continent and in front of Heavenly Lu City within the Eight Desolation and Ten Regions. Now, on this vast battlefield, it remained unchanged; he would always go to great lengths to ensure her safety.

Beside her, Xiao Ruoyin watched the scene unfold with an unspoken envy glimmering in her eyes.

If she found herself in danger again, would he descend with such overwhelming power as he had today, pointing at the immortal emperor and shaking the very foundations of the world? Yet, Xiao Ruoyin’s voice broke the silence, “It seems we are safe now. My earlier move might have been a bit unnecessary.”

Gu Xian’er glanced at her, hesitant to respond. She didn’t know what to say; Xiao Ruoyin’s willingness to step in and save her was deeply moving. However, the complex entanglements between Xiao Ruoyin and Gu Changge stirred a sense of irritation within her that she couldn’t quite shake off.

Meanwhile, Da Hong let out a relieved sigh, as if this outcome was entirely expected. Fluttering its wings excitedly in the air, it exclaimed, “Xian’er, let me tell you—Gu Changge won’t let anything happen to you. Even if this is just a Dharma body he left behind, it’s more than enough to s.h.i.+eld you from harm.”

Its tone was laced with glee, no trace of the earlier worry or fear lingering; it seemed entirely rea.s.sured. The Da Hong firmly believed that Gu Xian’er had put herself in danger intentionally, provoking Gu Changge to come to her aid.

It had to be said that while this method was risky, it was undeniably effective; Gu Changge had indeed made his appearance. Even though it was just a Dharma body, who was he? In the previous battle against the heavens, he had confronted the great reckoning in the real land, quelling the calamity through sheer force of will.

Now, this Dharma body, situated in the Dao Chang Realm, was powerful enough to deter the entire world; no one dared to challenge it. Despite the mult.i.tude of powerful beings from the immortal civilizations, they were utterly outmatched in the face of such overwhelming strength.

Unlike the Da Hong, who was filled with excitement, Gu Xian’er felt a twinge of guilt. She knew Gu Changge well enough to understand that he must be a bit angry with her. In the past, he would have never waited until the last moment to save her. This was clearly his way of making her endure a little suffering first.

At that moment, it seemed as though Gu Changge had sensed Gu Xian’er’s thoughts. He turned his calm gaze toward her, his expression serene yet filled with an unspoken weight.

“I’m just worried about the clansmen and villagers behind me. If I don’t act now, I fear I won’t have another chance…”

Gu Xian’er explained, her voice tinged with guilt.

Besides, this is also a rare training opportunity for me. It’s not that I didn’t listen to you and took unnecessary risks.

Gu Changge merely glanced at her, then looked away without a word. He stepped forward and, in an instant, vanished from the universe.

It was important to remember that this was only his Dharma body, not his true form. His real body remained with the Spiritual Royal Family. In the past, Gu Changge’s Dharma body had sat in the vast emptiness of the Dao Chang Realm, primarily to safeguard those around him. But this time, he had noticed the battle from afar and recognized Gu Xian’er’s peril, prompting him to descend in the form of his Dharma body.

“Greetings, my lord…”

As Gu Changge emerged from the depths of the universe, many powerhouses on the battlefield erupted in excited cheers, bowing their heads in reverence. He paused for a moment, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but chose not to speak further.

“Do I give you permission to withdraw?” he inquired, his gaze settling on the vast army of the immortal civilization. His voice was calm, yet it resonated with an undeniable authority.

With a simple motion, he brought his hand down, as if unleas.h.i.+ng an infinite power upon the world. It felt like a world-destroying millstone had been set in motion. Many universes disintegrated and collapsed under the force of his will, only to be reformed almost instantly. The endless legions of the immortal civilization seemed to be caught in a storm of annihilation, blown away by the sheer might of his presence.

As the great universe crumbled, it dissipated into countless life sources, which were then infused into the reorganized universe. It was an unspeakably horrific scene—under this one palm, all living beings were rendered equal, facing the inexorable might of his power.

Whether it was the armies clas.h.i.+ng on the front lines or the formidable beings of the Immortal Dao, they all collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, transformed into a cascade of light rain, leaving nothing behind.

Run away…!

There’s no time to stay in this world. This person’s strength is far beyond what we can imagine. The only chance we have to survive is to escape into time and s.p.a.ce separately!

Some immortal emperors, who had once exuded immense power, were now consumed by fear. They burned their origins and longevity, desperately seeking to flee. Yet, their efforts were in vain; their figures exploded soundlessly in the universe, collapsing into a radiant shower that filled the sky.

Gu Changge’s palm moved slowly, descending from above, yet it seemed to envelop endless time, s.p.a.ce, and the entire universe. The powerhouses of the immortal civilization were gripped by despair, fully aware that this was Gu Changge replicating the scene of annihilation that the immortal emperor had enacted just moments ago.

A group of powerful beings entangled with Hei Ming and the others were equally terrified, desperately seeking a way to retreat. In the face of such an invincible force, resistance felt utterly futile.

Zhuoyou immediately sensed the impending doom and resorted to her strongest means, breaking free from Gu Wuw.a.n.g’s grasp as she fled back to the ancient wars.h.i.+p.

“Impossible! How could such an existence arise from such a place? It’s completely unreasonable!”

Zhuohua shouted angrily from the depths of time and s.p.a.ce, unable to comprehend the situation. Lacking Zhuoyou’s escape route, he found himself ensnared by Gu Wuw.a.n.g, struggling to break free.

As an existence comparable to the Dao Realm, he fought with all his might to withstand the crus.h.i.+ng weight of Gu Changge’s palm. Yet, in an instant, his entire being began to collapse, the light within him trembling as if it were on the brink of being extinguished entirely.

In the end, Zhuohua roared in anger, realizing the futility of his resistance. Desperation surged within him as he attempted to deploy all means to escape.

However, Gu Changge’s gaze fixed upon him with unwavering resolve. With a swift, decisive motion, his palm descended. The sound of a deafening pop echoed as Zhuohua’s essence exploded, the light in his heart evaporating into nothingness.

On this battlefield, an existence once comparable to the Dao Realm had finally met his end.

Following this catastrophe, the Dao Chang Realm would experience a significant rise in overall strength and fortune, paving the way for a brighter future. Great wars not only forged stronger hearts but also birthed new existences in response to disasters. Heroes born in troubled times emerged as the era demanded, capable of stirring the winds and shaping fortunes.

All of this unfolded precisely as Gu Changge had predicted and controlled, a testament to his profound foresight and power.
