I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 1381: The daughter of great luck of the immortal civilization, are they scared to death?

This divine furnace, crafted from an unknown material, radiated a deep crimson glow. Wisps of blazing, eye-catching flames cascaded down continuously, engulfing a screaming and writhing figure within.

Leave me a trace of true spirit! I swear I will never trouble you again, and I will never cultivate again. Can you let me live?

The figure appeared vacant, almost unable to maintain a human form. Its distorted and fuzzy face was etched with pain, screaming and pleading for survival. As one of the most powerful young talents of the Zhuo Clan in the contemporary era, she had a promising future ahead of her. Moreover, she had an ancestor who cherished her and served as a Heavenly Elder within the clan.

If there had been no accident, she would have undoubtedly grown to a point where she could rival the elders in the future. While she might not have become a Heavenly Elder, she would certainly have been a mainstay of the Zhuo Clan. But now, she was on the verge of falling, with the last trace of her true soul about to be consumed by the eternal true fire.

As strands of flame cascaded down, her body emitted a burning sound, transforming into puffs of black smoke. Sitting cross-legged on the gray crystal, she seemed oblivious to her surroundings, desperately attempting to heal her injuries. However, the hideous wounds were still alarming to behold, with blood constantly gushing forth, staining the area a bright red.

As expected of one of the most powerful geniuses of the Zhuo Clan in contemporary times. I paid a heavy price for killing you.

But I won’t show mercy. When you hunted me down and sought to rob me of my treasures, did you ever consider this day?

Moreover, the actions of the Zhuo Clan merit the consequences they face.

As one of the most powerful geniuses of the Zhuo Clan, she had various means to save her life. Just moments ago, she had managed to deceive the investigation and tracing efforts of the Zhuo Clan’s Heavenly Elder by leveraging the unique properties of the Eternal Divine Furnace. However, if she didn’t kill Zhuo Tianyin quickly, she would inevitably be found again, bringing about unnecessary complications.

The geniuses of the Zhuo Clan bore special imprints that could be tracked by others. Although the Eternal Divine Furnace was formidable, it was far from something she could fully control with her current strength. Every breath required a tremendous amount of mana.

Without hesitating, she waved her palm, disregarding her injuries, and activated the Eternal Divine Furnace. In an instant, she completely obliterated the last remnant of her true spirit, reducing it to fine ash.

Puff!

The figure in the Eternal Divine Furnace screamed as puffs of black smoke billowed out, quickly dissipating into the void. The Chosen One of the Zhuo Clan vanished completely, leaving no trace behind. Had there been even a particle of her spiritual light remaining, the elders of the Zhuo Clan could have intervened, using their extraordinary means to traverse thousands of reincarnations for her resurrection.

Unfortunately, the Eternal Divine Furnace was unique in its ability to directly burn and evaporate the true spirit of this Zhuo Clan genius, erasing all remnants from the fabric of time and space.

After completing this grim task, the figure raised her palm, and the Eternal Divine Furnace transformed into a stream of light, soaring back to the center of her brow. At this point, she let out a sigh of relief, but as she brushed against her injuries, her brows knitted tightly, and she instinctively inhaled sharply.

“This backlash is truly terrifying, but thankfully, the Eternal Divine Furnace is special; it helped me offset most of the repercussions. Otherwise, it would have been challenging to annihilate her completely.”

She shook her head, retrieving several healing herbs from her storage space and stuffing them into her mouth as she continued to tend to her wounds.

Looking around, the landscape resembled a solidified sandbar. From time to time, gusts of yellow wind swept across the sky, enveloping the entire world in a haze, obscuring anything beyond a few miles.

The figure in this desolate setting was a woman who appeared to be in her twenties. Her facial features were delicate and bright, and her tall, slim figure bore a striking resemblance to that of the human race. She wore a rather ordinary coarse cloth dress, but upon closer inspection, her dark golden eyes sparkled like legendary dragon pupils, radiating an eternal brilliance.

The woman’s name was Mu Yan, and she was not a member of the Zhuo Clan. As she recovered from her injuries, her brows furrowed in deep thought, contemplating her next move. Having ventured into the territory of the Zhuo Clan and taken the audacious risk of killing one of their most talented geniuses, she had invoked the wrath of the Heavenly Elder behind the clan. This bold action prompted the activation of the ten-direction universe barrier, sealing off the area and complicating her escape.

The next challenge Mu Yan faced was the full-scale search and pursuit of the Zhuo Clan.

Before that, it’s better to keep a low profile and be more cautious. I refuse to believe that the ten-direction universe barrier will remain in place forever.

She muttered to herself.

I will settle this hatred with you slowly.

While she had no choice but to kill Zhuo Tianyin, she knew that worrying about it was futile now that the deed was done.

“Hey-hey…” she chuckled darkly, attempting to reassure herself. “Just need to keep breathing.”

However, at that moment, the void where Zhuo Tianyin’s figure had been completely erased suddenly erupted. A chilling, creepy sneer echoed through the air, sending a shiver down Mu Yan’s spine.

Faintly, the shadow of Zhuo Tianyin, which had just been wiped out, began to coalesce once more. A strange black line emerged from it, leading into the boundless emptiness. In the midst of this darkness stood a terrifying figure, seemingly sneering as it observed the scene from the endless void and distance.

It was the Heavenly Elder of the Zhuo Clan.

The abilities of such a Dao realm existence stretched across the heavens, traversing countless universes and dimensions—powers that were unimaginable to ordinary beings.

“Not good…”

Mu Yan’s face went pale, her heart racing and trembling in her chest.

In a panic, she hastily summoned an ancient rune, which shimmered with power. The moment it activated, it broke through the barriers surrounding her, propelling her figure across a distance of a million miles in an instant. Just as she vanished, the area around her collapsed silently, as if the very fabric of reality had been torn apart.

A terrifyingly large hand shot out from the nothingness, radiating an overwhelming power that obliterated the entire galaxy in an instant.

“It’s impressive how quickly you can escape. That ancient sacrificial talisman is quite rare; your origins must be extraordinary,” Zhuowu remarked, her voice dripping with disdain.

“However, the deity has locked onto your aura. You won’t be able to flee.”

She commanded, “The Zhuo Clan, heed my order: hunt this person down. If she can be captured alive, you will be rewarded handsomely.”

Far away, Zhuowu seethed with fury, her previous disbelief morphing into a chilling sneer. With the aura of her target confirmed, there was no longer any reason for concern. In her mind, this was merely a cat-and-mouse game—the more desperate the fleeing figure became, the more satisfying the eventual confrontation would be.

The anger she felt for the loss of her descendant fueled her determination. She inscribed a decree with the captured aura, amplifying it across the vast cosmos of the Zhuo Clan, ordering them to pursue and capture the intruder alive.

In an instant, the surrounding universes vibrated violently, setting in motion a relentless hunt.

Countless members of the Zhuo Clan were stirred into action. When a Heavenly Elder personally issued a decree offering a reward for the capture of the murderer, the air crackled with urgency. Many clansmen quickly detected the fluctuation of the targeted aura, transforming into streaks of divine light as they raced across the starry sky in pursuit.

The reward from a Heavenly Elder was not something to be taken lightly; it sent waves of excitement rippling through the Zhuo Clan.

“If you dare to kill my descendants, I will ensure you endure endless torture and despair in this world,” Zhuowu declared, her eyes cold and resolute, reflecting her unwavering determination to exact vengeance.

Boom!!!

Hundreds of millions of miles away, entire galaxies exploded and collapsed under the weight of overwhelming force. Mu Yan coughed up blood, her injuries grave. Though she had utilized the space sacrificial talisman to move rapidly and cover tens of thousands of miles in an instant, she found herself in a different universe, only to realize that the pursuit of a Dao Realm existence was a terrifying ordeal. The very fabric of time and space was ensnared, leaving her with no refuge.

The star field she had entered disintegrated in an instant, vanishing without a trace. An icy, murderous intent clung to her like a parasite, determined to block every possible escape route. It was a chilling presence that enveloped the entire universe, causing all living beings within it to tremble in fear, as if their very souls were freezing.

“It’s unbelievable. This is just a killing intent, not even a direct attack, and it’s already so terrifying,” Mu Yan thought, panic rising within her.

“The Heavenly Elder of the Zhuo Clan is truly the most formidable force in existence—far beyond my current capabilities. Just a single thought from her could annihilate an entire universe’s worth of creatures.”

Again, Mu Yan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Though she possessed many treasures, she hesitated to use them, knowing their value. This was her first encounter with the divine power of a Heavenly Elder, and the experience was nothing short of overwhelming.

If it had been anyone else in the same realm, they would have been annihilated in an instant; there was no way they could have escaped as far as she had. Sacrificing that incredibly precious space sacrificial talisman once more, the time and space before her blurred, opening a passage for her to quickly escape through.

In that moment, the stars above dazzled, and the very fabric of heaven and earth turned upside down. However, just as she stepped into the passage, the terrifying killing intent caught up with her. It swept across the entire universe, instantly causing the space-time passageway to explode.

Mu Yan’s figure shook violently, her already horrific injuries worsening as the force of the explosion hit her. Blood covered her body, and her face was obscured, making it nearly impossible to recognize her.

Moreover, her figure hadn’t had time to escape to the other end of the space-time passage and fell halfway. The territory of the Zhuo Clan was vast; after fleeing for so long, Mu Yan found herself still within the scope of these sealed universes, making escape impossible.

As she fell from the passage of time and space, she didn’t dare linger for long. Suppressing her injuries, she realized it was too late to eliminate any traces of her presence. Urgently, she continued to move, escaping from one starry sky to another thousands of miles away.

Though this new location was far from where she had killed Zhuo Tianyin and distanced from many universes, she remained locked onto by Zhuowu’s killing intent, unable to break free. A thick shadow loomed over her heart, marking this as one of the most dangerous experiences she had ever faced in her life.

Boom!!!  

The time and space behind Mu Yan surged with a terrifying momentum, as if a boundless torrent were about to crash down, causing the galaxy to begin collapsing. Zhuowu’s killing intent swept over her again, vast and powerful.

Gritting her teeth, Mu Yan summoned her resolve once more, transforming into a stream of light as she fled forward. She had no intention of standing still and awaiting her doom.

As she sped away, she caught sight of three figures under the starry sky ahead, who noticed the chaos unfolding and were looking in her direction. They stood on an extremely barren crystal planet not far from her location.

In her desperate bid for survival, Mu Yan didn’t take the time to examine the three figures closely but could vaguely make out their outlines. Wanting to protect them from being dragged into her peril, she called out, urging them to flee before they could get any closer.

“If you don’t want to die, quickly run away!”

Mu Yan shouted, fully aware that Elder Zhuowu would show no concern for the lives of others. Even within the clan land of the Zhuo Clan, she had been known to obliterate entire galaxies without a second thought.

Gu Changge observed the blood-soaked woman with a mix of intrigue and concern. Upon realizing they were nearby, she had quickly changed direction, fleeing with all her might in an effort to spare them from her fate. However, she had clearly underestimated the strength of her pursuer.

The entire starry sky seemed to tremble under the weight of that terrifying killing intent. Spider web-like cracks rapidly spread behind her, fracturing time and space itself. A colossal hand, blocking out the sun, emerged from the void, poised to crush everything in its path. It was evident that Elder Zhuowu intended to eliminate her without regard for any living beings in the vicinity.

“Every civilization seems to have its share of individuals blessed with great luck, but who among them can truly reach the Dao realm or ascend to even higher levels without traversing this path?” Gu Changge mused, his gaze sharpening as he scrutinized the situation. “Yet, there’s something off about this woman’s aura.”

“My lord…” Ling Huang inquired, her voice laced with urgency.

“Are we going to intervene?”

She had been astonished to witness the Heavenly Elder of the Zhuo Clan unleashing the universe barrier and sealing the skies, only to now find herself face-to-face with the very culprit behind it all. However, the woman was clearly teetering on the brink of a life-and-death crisis.

With her current strength, it seemed nearly impossible for her to withstand the overwhelming killing intent of a being comparable to the third Heavenly Decline of the Dao realm. Even with her myriad of adventures and fortunes, it would be of little use against such absolute power.

Gu Changge remained silent, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.

For Gu Changge, rescuing this woman was merely a matter of convenience, but his thoughts were already racing ahead.

Mu Yan, on the other hand, had done everything she could to steer clear of the trio, hoping not to involve them in her dire situation. Yet, they remained indifferent, showing no intention of fleeing.

“Could it be that they can’t sense the terrifying aura trailing behind me?” she wondered. “Or are they just too scared to act?”

With a sigh in her heart, Mu Yan acknowledged the futility of her concerns; even if they decided to run now, it would be too late. The murderous intent emanating from the elder of the Zhuo clan swept through the starry sky, encompassing all living beings—no one would be spared.

As she drew closer, she finally caught a clear glimpse of the scene ahead. On a distant hill, three figures stood together. The leader appeared to be a young man dressed in white, bathed in a faint moonlight, with sunlight glimmering behind him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
