I Really Am A Villain
Ch. 329 - Heavenly Tribulation God-Eyes

In fact, the blood was just the petal’s own way of hiding itself.

Xu Zimo slowly waved his right hand, and as the spiritforce surged in his palm, the blood on the surface of the petal began to be gradually absorbed.

Once the blood was fully absorbed, the petal underwent a dramatic change.

Its surface became transparent, appearing extremely clear.

This clarity and purity was the most pristine thing Xu Zimo had ever seen.

It was crystal-clear, as if completely free from any speck of dirt.

Far more sacred than even the lotus that emerges unstained from mud.

“Still recognize this?” Xu Zimo asked with a smile.

The moment the Baleful Miasma saw the transparent petal, it began retreating desperately.

It tried to escape with all its might, but Xu Zimo blocked it.

“Not even saying hello when meeting an old friend? That’s really disappointing,” Xu Zimo said with a laugh. “Pure Aeonic Energy, what a beautiful name!”

“What do you want to do?” the Baleful Miasma shouted in terror.

“Use you to forge something,” Xu Zimo replied flatly.

Then he slowly took out the petal.

With the continuous infusion of spiritforce, the petal completely dispersed.

A wisp of Pure Aeonic Energy flew out from within the petal.

Under Xu Zimo’s control, the Pure Aeonic Energy slowly merged with the Baleful Miasma.

No matter how hard the Baleful Miasma resisted, it was of no use.

The moment the Pure Aeonic Energy touched the Baleful Miasma, a loud rumble came from within.

Crackling explosions echoed as the two began to merge and condense.

One clear, one turbid!

As the two masses of energy rose into the air, the skies above changed dramatically.

It was as if time had returned to the beginning of the era, to the moment of creation.

The Pure Aeonic Energy rose to become the sky, and the Baleful Miasma sank to form the earth.

Heaven and earth governed all, and within the vast Grand Dao, the existence of heavenly tribulation emerged.

The two masses of energy before Xu Zimo were the first wisp of Pure Aeonic Energy and the first wisp of Baleful Miasma from the dawn of the era.

…

The Pure Aeonic Energy in the purple box wasn’t something Xu Zimo had found himself.

The purple box was the one he had asked for from Chi Qianxue at the Chi Imperial Clan.

The Pure Aeonic Energy inside was sealed there by Grand Emperor Bing Xue long ago.

The origin of the matter dates back to the era of Grand Emperor San Dao.

Few knew that in his youth, Grand Emperor San Dao was once the Dao Companion of the Grand Emperor Bing Xue.

Later, during his destined time in the Silent Extinction Ridge, he discovered the Baleful Miasma.

The reason the Silent Extinction Ridge changed from a danger zone to a forbidden ground wasn’t solely because of his many killings, it was also because of the Baleful Miasma.

Knowing he couldn’t fully destroy the Baleful Miasma, Grand Emperor San Dao sealed it.

He hoped that over endless time, this evil energy would slowly dissipate.

At the same time, he began searching for the Pure Aeonic Energy.

Unfortunately, even up to the moment before his ascension, he still hadn’t found it.

Later, he used supreme techniques to help his Dao Companion, Grand Emperor Bing Xue, to reincarnate and rebuild her cultivation.

After his ascension, the next-generation Grand Emperor Bing Xue took on the Heaven’s Will of that era.

She eventually found the Pure Aeonic Energy.

But unfortunately, by then the Baleful Miasma had grown too strong.

Even while sealed, it couldn’t be easily destroyed.

It could absorb the Baleful Miasma of the era itself to fight back, making it impossible for the Grand Emperor Bing Xue to use the Pure Aeonic Energy to purify it.

In the end, she had no choice but to seal the Pure Aeonic Energy within the purple box.

Hoping that in the hands of future generations, after the Baleful Miasma had weakened over centuries of erosion, the Pure Aeonic Energy could finally purify it in one stroke.

…

But of course, unexpected things happened.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, not only did the Baleful Miasma fail to weaken, it grew even stronger.

Eventually, it broke free of its seal.

Xu Zimo had no choice but to place it within his True Fate World.

This severed its connection to the Primordial Heartlands, preventing it from absorbing more era Baleful Miasma to recover.

This was a last resort, under normal circumstances, Xu Zimo would never allow an unknown lifeform to enter his True Fate World.

The risk of exposure would be far too great.

At this moment, high above, the clear and Baleful Miasma had fully merged.

One clear, one turbid.

Within the merged energues, strange phenomena began to appear, countless scenes swirling within.

Sometimes violent storms, where demonic forms created by Baleful Miasma rampaged through hellish landscapes.

Other times, clear skies, where the rising Pure Aeonic Energy brightened the entire world, making everything seem hopeful.

These images kept shifting.

Xu Zimo sat cross-legged.

He had gone through all this trouble not out of goodwill to eliminate the Baleful Miasma.

In a previous life, he had once come across a combat technique from the Legendary Era,

“Heavenly Tribulation God-Eyes!”

A battle technique involving the eyes.

Once mastered, the eyes could become instruments of divine punishment.

In battle, they could unleash divine wrath unexpectedly and with immense power.

However, cultivating this technique required the fusion of Aeonic Energy and Baleful Miasma.

And the more powerful the energy, the stronger the God-Eyes.

In his past life, he never had the chance, and the technique was left to gather dust.

In this life, ever since he and Little Gui saw Silent Extinction Ridge in the Grand Myriad Mountains, Xu Zimo had been planning for this.

And now, he was using the very first wisp of clear and Baleful Miasma from the beginning of the era.

…

Now sitting cross-legged, with the two merged energies above him, Xu Zimo prepared for the final step.

The eyes are among the most fragile parts of the human body.

But also among the most important.

There was no room for error.

He first used the Power of Creation to slowly open the meridians around his eyes.

Each meridian caused excruciating pain as it was opened.

Even blood began to trickle out.

Once all the necessary meridians were cleared, Xu Zimo waved his hands.

The merged Aeonic Energy and Baleful Miasma instantly flew toward him.

Fusing the energies was just one crucial step in cultivating the God-Eyes.

As the energies entered his eyes, Xu Zimo felt a cooling sensation spread through his brain.

Like spring water during the sweltering heat, all the pain vanished.

Then, from his storage ring, Xu Zimo took out the other required materials,

Nine Heavens Thunder Stone, Thunder Dragon Fruit, Thousand Illusion Lightning Flower, Blood Spirit Grass...

A long list of countless materials was taken out.

As he slowly absorbed the power from these materials, he channeled all that power into his eyes, refining them little by little.

The process was long and incredibly painful.

Even the slightest mistake could result in blindness.

…

Meanwhile, outside, the apocalyptic scene began to fade.

Although the Silent Extinction Ridge was partially torn apart, the Baleful Miasma in the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Many people looked up at the sky...
