I’m Really a Villain - Chapter 1231: The Great Emperor Possesses the Great Saint Principle, Fallen Sky Record

“Then why did they release the Evil Demon King again now?” Xu Zimei asked.

“That, I don’t know,” Sage Lv replied with a smile.

“Every matter in the world has its roots. The appearance of the Evil Demon King must have its reasons.”

“I’m afraid it’s coming for me,” Xu Zimei murmured softly to himself.

“What did you say?” Sage Lv asked.

“Nothing,” Xu Zimei waved his hand slightly.

“Remember your promise to me—go to the Lv Clan in the Half-Ghost Domain and fulfill my final regret,” Sage Lv said.

“Right now, I will pass all my Principles to you. As much as you can receive is up to you.”

Xu Zimei nodded and sat cross-legged face to face with Sage Lv.

As Sage Lv raised his hand, the entire world seemed to ripple along with his movements, and the Lone City began to rotate and stir.

“Open your heart and mind, hold fast to your Divine Soul, let the flesh become nothing, and cleanse the Soul Body.”

Sage Lv’s Principle was the Formless Principle, an all-encompassing one.

The Formless Principle was shapeless and intangible, like time slipping through fingers, surging into Xu Zimei’s body through Sage Lv’s hands.

This power coursed through the twelve Vein Gates: Lun Quan, Xuan Gu, Zhao Yingfeng.

Kun Hai, Illusion Blood, Muhuansong.

Lin Que, Cheng An, Xin Poxu.

It continued flooding into Xu Zimei’s body, where his original power was the Profound Meaning.

Now that the Principles poured in, the Profound Meaning began to transform, and the two forces clashed.

While the Formless Principle could integrate all, they were ultimately two completely different powers.

Before the Principles, the Profound Meaning retreated step by step.

Soon, all nine Vein Gates that Xu Zimei had opened were fully occupied, with the Principles coursing through his body.

Every new trace of Profound Meaning that emerged was instantly annihilated by the Principles.

Within Xu Zimei’s body, it became as chaotic as a violent storm, erratic and out of control.

His skin flushed red, blood vessels ruptured, and his entire being seemed on the verge of exploding.

This was the result of the conflict between the Principles and the Profound Meaning.

Xu Zimei’s eyes sharpened as he saw the azure blue planet formed by the Divine Continent spinning continuously within his body.

All the Principles and Profound Meanings were suppressed there and then.

Once everything calmed, the Chaos Pearl flew out from the azure blue planet, hovering above Xu Zimei’s body.

Endless refining radiance dispersed from the Chaos Pearl.

Under this unique power, the Profound Meaning and the Principles softened, beginning to merge and coalesce.

“How strange, how strange,” Sage Lv murmured outside.

“It should’ve reached its limit—how did it suddenly become so harmonious?”

He glanced at Xu Zimei, knowing that everyone had their secrets. Since Xu Zimei dared to attempt this fusion, he must have a method.

Being someone on the brink of death, Sage Lv wasn’t so curious as to insist on finding out.

With a wave of his hand, all the Principles of the Lone City poured into Xu Zimei’s body.

Meanwhile, the Lone City outside started to fade inch by inch along with the departing Principles, starting from the city gates and extending to its so-called inhabitants.

In an instant, half the city disappeared without a trace.

Within Xu Zimei’s body, the Profound Meaning was undergoing transformation, evolving into Principles with the infusion of the Formless Principle.

Nearby, the massive form of the Crimson Blade Bull Demon sat guarding them both, preventing any being from approaching.

As time went on, the city completely vanished, and all the Principles had been infused into Xu Zimei’s body.

Even Sage Lv’s body appeared much weaker at this moment, almost ethereal, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

“Since you have such aptitude, I shall assist you once more,” Sage Lv declared solemnly.

“I will pass you a blade technique; watch closely.

This is from the Fallen Sky Record and is called the Eight-direction Heaven-splitting.”

As Sage Lv’s voice fell, his body shimmered with radiant light, transforming into a brilliant and Heaven-slicing Blade Intent.

“This Blade Intent is formed from the prototype and leaves no second opportunity for another to learn.”

Sage Lv continued, “Now that I’ve transformed into the prototype, I am sacrificing myself for righteousness.”

With these final words, his entire being vanished completely.

Only a Heaven-splitting blade gleam remained in the void, its light retracting until it formed a small blade shape.

The small blade embedded itself into Xu Zimei’s body.

Suddenly, Xu Zimei’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, emanating both Blade Intent and an endless stream of Principles.

What he had initially comprehended were all Profound Meanings, but now, after the transformation, they had evolved into countless Principles.

Principles belonged exclusively to the Great Saints, yet Xu Zimei, in the Emperor Realm, held such power—a true anomaly.

There had never been any record of a second person achieving this.

The Emperor Realm had five stages, and Xu Zimei was only in the third stage, the Divine Passage.

Beyond it were Life and Death, followed by Heaven Venerable.

To have mastered Principles while still in Divine Passage—Xu Zimei had neither seen nor heard of such a feat.

Looking inwardly into his body, he saw that the Eight-direction Heaven-splitting had transformed into an awe-inspiring small blade.

Its blade was jet black, with numerous cracks etched upon it.

Counting carefully, there were eight cracks.

But upon closer inspection, one would realize these weren’t actual cracks—just crack-like patterns.

The Blade Intent it radiated was both terrifying and overwhelming.

“The Fallen Sky Record,” Xu Zimei murmured, committing the name to memory.

Though there was no longer a chance to ask Sage Lv what it truly meant.

The Principles surged around him, continuously erupting.

Within his body, the Eight-direction Heaven-splitting also continued to spin.

Xu Zimei looked up and saw that the entire Lone City had disappeared, leaving him standing on a barren plain.

“Let’s head back,” Xu Zimei said, opening a void to the Divine Continent and allowing the Crimson Blade Bull Demon to leave first.

Only then did he start walking to the side.

Ji Jiuning, who had been waiting quietly as instructed, didn’t move an inch.

“You…,” Ji Jiuning stammered, wanting to ask something but unsure where to start.

“If I don’t say it, don’t ask,” Xu Zimei replied.

“Oh,” Ji Jiuning nodded and added, “What should we do next?”

“Leave this place,” Xu Zimei answered.

He gazed far into the horizon, toward the direction of the Hell Sea, where oppressive dark clouds swirled, a tempest of sinister energy gathering.

All of it was converging upon one location.

Judging by the immense momentum, it was clear how powerful the being about to emerge truly was.

The crimson Hell Sea seemed to boil, its glow illuminating the entire void.

“Why… why should we leave?” Ji Jiuning asked, startled.

Their cooperation was for survival, yes, but also to find the murderer of her Clan Leader.

Leaving like this—what meaning would it hold?

“If we don’t leave now, should we wait for the Evil Demon King to resurrect?” Xu Zimei retorted.

“Do you think you’re a match for him?”

“But how will I find the murderer of my Clan Leader?” Ji Jiuning asked.

“Your enemy—you’ve never even seen them. How will you find them?” Xu Zimei replied.

“Our Northern Hill Clan’s secret technique has its ways,” Ji Jiuning insisted.
