I Really Am A Villain - Ch. 1728 - Traps Within The Inheritance, Sea Guardian Fairy

In truth, many people had already grown impatient.

They wanted to start killing as soon as possible so they could finally break the formation.

They just didn’t have the courage to be the first to act.

Now that Chen Feng from the Divine Court had made the first move, no one could hold back anymore.

The entire sky instantly descended into chaos.

But if one looked carefully, the battles were actually quite telling.

The fighting among most people was extremely brutal.

Yet neither Immortal Maiden Palace nor the Stork-Sparrow Race joined the fray at all. Instead, they stood by coldly and watched.

As for the scattered cultivators and smaller forces, none of them dared provoke these two colossal powers.

“Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race are really crafty. They’re just sitting back and reaping the benefits,” Ji Zhan said unwillingly.

“That’s because they’re strong. No one dares touch them,” Ouyang Xiu replied.

As a rogue cultivator, he had seen far too much.

He understood the cultivation world very clearly.

Take Chen Feng, for example. He was killing people nonstop.

Yet no one dared attack him directly. They even deliberately avoided him.

Why? Because they feared the Divine Court behind him.

At this moment, someone noticed Xu Zimo and the others.

Earlier, when Xu Zimo had crossed the Poison Sea alone, many people had not dared provoke him.

But now, with the killing frenzy in full swing, people had lost their reason.

Several hundred people summoned their courage and charged toward Xu Zimo.

“Courting death,” Xu Zimo said coldly.

A blade aura burst out from his hand.

In an instant, several hundred people were reduced to minced flesh. Blood rained down from the sky.

Around Xu Zimo, blade intent was like a prison and an ocean.

Anyone who dared come within a hundred meters was doomed to die.

“Since you’re killing so slowly, I’ll help you,” Xu Zimo said calmly.

He swept his hand outward.

Boundless blade light shattered the void and enveloped the entire region.

Whether it was the scattered cultivators fighting below, or Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race, all were covered by it.

When the blade light descended, Immortal Maiden Palace’s warship immediately activated layer after layer of defensive barriers, completely blocking the attack.

But on the Stork-Sparrow Race’s side, things were very different.

Their numbers were too great, and their strength uneven.

In a single moment, several thousand birds were slain.

“Brat, how dare you!” furious roars erupted from the Stork-Sparrow Race.

“Since you came to compete for the inheritance, don’t just watch from the sidelines. I’ll let you be the protagonists too,” Xu Zimo said indifferently.

He was determined to obtain the Poison God’s inheritance.

Anyone who dared compete with him for it was his enemy.

Naturally, he would show no mercy.

Very quickly, ten thousand people were slaughtered.

Many glared at Xu Zimo in fury.

He had truly provoked public outrage.

But at this moment, within the Poison God’s mausoleum, the formation finally began to reveal itself.

Ten thousand lives had been sacrificed, breaking the formation.

For the ever-growing crowd gathered here, numbering at least several hundred billion and still increasing, ten thousand deaths were nothing.

The formation began to dissipate layer by layer. Someone swallowed hard.

Beyond the formation lay the Poison God’s inheritance.

“When the formation opens, we charge in first,” a sect leader commanded.

Many people’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Finally, when a gap appeared in the formation and vanished completely, a shout of “Charge!” rang out.

The crowd surged forward like a flood.

Thunderous rumbles echoed through the sky.

“Should we go too?” Ouyang Xiu asked.

He now followed Xu Zimo’s lead completely.

“What’s the rush? You think an inheritance is that easy to obtain?” Xu Zimo waved his hand.

“And the Poison God wasn’t exactly a good person. Do you really think he’d kindly leave an inheritance behind?”

Ouyang Xiu was startled by this remark.

The Poison God’s character was bad?

It seemed Xu Zimo truly understood the Poison God.

After all, to people of this era, the ancient gods were still extremely unfamiliar.

Aside from Xu Zimo and his group, Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race, who had yet to act, also did not rush in.

The Stork-Sparrow Race, however, glared fiercely at Xu Zimo.

If not for the inheritance being right in front of them, they would have already sought revenge.

At that moment, a deafening rumble echoed.

The formation in the sky completely dissipated.

Only a statue remained suspended in the void.

Beside the statue flowed a long river formed entirely of poison.

A poison beast lay by the riverbank, dozing.

“Where’s the inheritance?” someone asked.

“The statue! Grab the statue!” someone shouted.

The crowd instantly went mad, rushing toward the statue.

Suddenly, with a thunderous boom, the poison beast that had been resting stood up.

Its eyes, eerily human-like, swept across the crowd.

It let out a furious roar.

In an instant, the poisonous river beside it began to transform.

This poison river was different from the earlier Poison Sea.

The Poison Sea had been formed by countless poisonous liquids acting independently.

But this river was a single, unified whole.

It transformed into just one giant creature.

A gigantic elephant.

The elephant walked on two legs, while its other two legs had evolved into arms.

Its posture was almost indistinguishable from a human’s.

With a sweep of its trunk, countless people were instantly killed.

“What is that thing?” someone cried out in horror.

“Run! This monster can’t be fought!”

The crowd immediately panicked again.

But when everyone tried to flee, they discovered something terrifying.

At some unknown point, the Poison God’s inheritance site had been sealed by another formation.

The entire area was locked down. No one could escape.

Simply put, this place had become a massive cage.

“Boss, what do we do?!” Ouyang Xiu panicked as well.

With the area sealed, there was nowhere to run.

“What’s there to panic about? You came for the inheritance, and now you’re afraid of death?” Xu Zimo replied.

“Of course I’m afraid of death. I just came to try my luck,” Ouyang Xiu said.

“No rush. The tall ones haven’t panicked yet,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

By “the tall ones,” he naturally meant Immortal Maiden Palace and the Stork-Sparrow Race.

As the poison elephant rampaged, no one could withstand even a single exchange with it.

Immortal Maiden Palace finally seemed unable to hold back.

A woman holding a golden chain stepped out of the immortal warship and into the sky.

She wore white robes and carried a faint immortal aura.

The chain was clearly a powerful treasure, capable of binding any creature.

“If you don’t want to die, help me restrain this giant elephant,” the woman said.

“Don’t think about escaping. This formation was set by an ancient god. We can’t break it at all. If we don’t work together, death is the only outcome.”

Hearing this, many people finally calmed down.

“It’s Sea Guardian Fairy from Immortal Maiden Palace,” someone recognized her at once.

“She’s quite strong even within Immortal Maiden Palace. We should listen to her,” some more rational voices said.

At that moment, Sea Guardian Fairy raised her hand.

Powerful spirit energy gathered in the sky.

One enormous palm after another descended from above, slamming heavily into the giant elephant.

The elephant was knocked straight to the ground.
