I Really Am A Villain

“The longevity plant is eating people. Everyone be careful.”

“A Grand Emperor was swallowed in a single bite without even a chance to resist.”

“This time the longevity plant seems to be a man-eating flower. It’s extremely vicious.”

“Indeed. Every longevity plant is incredibly powerful. We should first destroy its consciousness, then fight over it.”

When they arrived at Longevity Valley, the crowd was buzzing with discussion.

At this moment, Longevity Valley was completely surrounded by dense masses of people.

It was said that many had already entered the valley and were fighting the longevity plant.

Others stood at the edges, watching.

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed through the area.

The longevity plant seemed to be charging up a major attack. A devastating aurora shot straight into the sky.

At that instant, it felt as though the entire Longevity Valley was about to be destroyed.

Under such extreme power, there were only screams and scattered, mutilated corpses.

“Run, run! It’s gone berserk!” someone shouted.

Within the territory of Longevity Valley, everyone fled desperately toward the distance, wishing they had four legs.

Xu Zimo frowned slightly.

He was not interested in the longevity plant. He only wanted to see whether Lin Ruhu was there.

He said to Ji Zhan, “Stay here. I’ll go in and take a look.”

“Be careful,” Ji Zhan nodded.

Xu Zimo stepped into the air and moved against the flow of people, heading toward Longevity Valley.

Only then did he clearly see the scene inside.

Longevity Valley was almost leveled.

A towering man-eating flower stood there, reaching the heavens.

It was nearly as tall as the entire valley, jet black all over. Though it was a longevity medicine, it radiated thick deathly aura.

In this world, when anything reaches an extreme, it often transforms into its opposite.

The extreme of death becomes life.

The extreme of life becomes death.

This man-eating flower was like a slaughtering god, charging through Longevity Valley without resistance. No one was a match for it.

Its mouth and body were covered in dense, fine teeth. Anything could be swallowed, chewed, and crushed.

Xu Zimo ignored the man-eating flower.

Instead, he focused on Longevity Valley itself.

Within the valley were countless caves, packed densely together.

Inside each cave was a man-eating flower.

Compared to the giant one, these smaller flowers were still growing and being nurtured.

Xu Zimo released his divine sense fully, searching for traces of Lin Ruhu.

If the Infinite Dao cultivator had once come here, it was very likely for the sake of longevity treasures.

If so, Lin Ruhu, seeking that cultivator, would probably have come to Longevity Valley as well.

At this moment, Xu Zimo’s calm demeanor caught the attention of the giant man-eating flower.

It assumed Xu Zimo was coveting the smaller flowers.

With an angry roar, it lunged at him.

The flower’s strength was formidable, at least Sage Monarch.

Once heavenly treasures gain sentience, their power increases dramatically.

And as for how this man-eating flower grew, no one knew.

Xu Zimo, however, showed no fear.

He shouted coldly, “Get lost.”

With a single kick to the flower’s petal, a loud bang rang out, and the massive man-eating flower was sent flying.

Xu Zimo drew Shadow Tyrant from its sheath.

“Overestimating yourself.”

Ten million strands of blade intent condensed into a single point, followed by earth-shaking blade light that annihilated everything.

Amid the flower’s roar, the blade intent completely obliterated Longevity Valley.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed through heaven and earth as all the valley walls collapsed, forming a bottomless crater.

Within the crater, the giant man-eating flower lay there, struggling.

“Do you really think no one can deal with you?” Xu Zimo said calmly.

He walked up to the flower, Shadow Tyrant in hand, without the slightest hesitation.

The blade fell, severing its soul.

As the flower shattered, drops of green liquid flowed out from within.

This was the essence of the longevity treasure.

Xu Zimo casually took out a small bottle and collected the liquid.

At that moment, many people who had fled returned.

“Look, the longevity treasure was taken by that guy.”

Some recognized Xu Zimo.

“Isn’t he the one wanted by Young Master Chen?”

“This guy really knows how to stir trouble. Kill him, and you get the bounty. Plus, you take the longevity treasure.”

“That’s getting rich beyond belief.”

“Honestly, even I’m tempted.”

The crowd murmured.

Xu Zimo did not care in the slightest.

He scanned the area, his divine sense sweeping through cave after cave.

In the end, he was disappointed.

There was no trace of Lin Ruhu here.

Then he suddenly sensed something.

Inside one of the caves, he detected dozens of coffins.

They floated in midair, arranged solemnly like offerings.

Xu Zimo stepped forward, tearing through space and appearing inside the cave.

The cave was heavy with deathly silence.

Upon arrival, Xu Zimo slashed open a coffin with one strike.

A corpse fell out.

The body was completely wrapped in white cloth, like a mummy.

Xu Zimo tore the cloth apart and saw that the corpse was covered in dense cracks, as if it had been torn apart by countless blades.

“Experiments?” Xu Zimo murmured.

He could sense that this body, and all the bodies here, had been experimented on thoroughly.

From internal organs to flesh and skin, everything had been torn apart and then healed repeatedly.

It was impossible to imagine the torment they had endured in life.

After smashing all the coffins, Xu Zimo discovered that one corpse still carried a faint trace of life.

He slowly infused it with life energy.

The injuries were far too severe.

Even rich life energy only restored a small bit of consciousness.

“S-save me,” the person struggled to say.

Xu Zimo frowned slightly and asked, “Who are you?”

“Experiments… the Three Corpse experiments… be careful…”

Before finishing, the person could no longer hold on and died.

“The Three Corpse experiments?” Xu Zimo frowned.

He took out the map and looked around.

Aside from the longevity treasures, the Three Corpse Burial Ground also contained many ancient palaces left behind from prehistoric times.

These palaces were as old as the Burial Ground itself, preserved from the most distant era.

“Perhaps it’s time to trace the origins of the Three Corpse Burial Ground,” Xu Zimo murmured.

Closest to the Three Corpse Cave was a structure called Grand Sun Chamber.

On the map, Grand Sun Chamber appeared grand and imposing, clearly no ordinary place.

Xu Zimo made his decision.

If he still found no clues at Grand Sun Chamber, then he would have no choice but to enter the Three Corpse Cave.

He put away the map and prepared to leave with Ji Zhan.
