I Am the Fated Villain
chapter-834

“That’s… that’s something we can’t even look straight at…” Their Dao Hearts were quaking. Dao Hearts of Immortal Kings, no less! Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Terror-stricken, their voices trembled.

They had merely glanced at the Eight Barren Demon Halberd in Gu Changge’s hand a moment ago, but their eyes were already stinging as if tears of blood were soon to follow. They hastily averted their gaze.

Their Knowledge Seas were racked with pain. They felt as if a streak of its aura had descended upon them through the galaxy in an attempt to destroy their bodies and Souls.

As Immortal Kings, they had considerable knowledge of some of the most terrifying secrets of this world. There were certain things that seemed completely normal to ordinary mortals or cultivators who could not discern the difference. Thus, they would not be affected by such things. However, those very things were objects of great terror to those of higher cultivation realms. Such unspeakable things could very well prove fatal to them.

Such items could drive cultivators into madness, a fate that was even more frightening than the collapse of their Dao Heart.

If beings with higher cultivation than the three Immortal Kings saw Gu Changge’s halberd, their reaction would have been even more severe. It would not be as simple as them bleeding out from their eyes. Their Souls could be thrown into disarray and they could very well lose their lives.

At this moment, Profound Earth, Azure Heaven, and the other Immortal King were trembling with fear. They never thought that they would one day come into contact with a legendary treasure that could not be gazed upon.

Normally, such objects that could not be looked at or described would only be found in the Source Realm.

That was the case with Corrupted Hou. Coming into contact with the Supreme Yin Energy from the Source Realm led to the transformation of his body that made him mighty and invincible.

The Supreme Yin Energy came from the Source Realm. It was yet another indescribable thing in this world.

In ancient texts, it only described Immortal Kings encountering some kind of indescribable fog. Even if they had not made contact, just simply seeing it from a great distance away had made them lose control over their mind. Eventually, for some reason, they would move towards it. In the end, such experts got surrounded by the fog and became walking corpses.

Even a mere glance from afar led to such calamity for Immortal Kings. Even their path to reincarnation had been cut off after this calamity.

This was something that sent shivers down their spines. It was difficult to ascertain the history and origin of such strange things.

“How did he come to possess something that cannot be gazed upon…”

“Could it be that… we had been mistaken from the very beginning?”

With this thought in mind, they began to look at Gu Changge with entirely different expressions. They thought about a possibility that they were too afraid to even consider prior to this.

However, at this moment, unlike the shock and fear that the Profound Earth, the Azure Heaven, and the other Immortal King were feeling…

“That… that is…” King Ming was thunderstruck. His scalp went numb. His entire body was trembling. He could not even speak as he stared at Gu Changge, who was on the other side of the black ocean. The hand with which he held his giant halberd was also shaking a little.

King Ming had dominated the Other Domain for many epochs now. He was feared by the many Immortal Kings and was known by all as a fearsome Immortal King. Nevertheless, he still felt shocked and deeply terrified right now.

He simply could not believe his eyes.

“That’s the real… Could it be that you are…?” Naturally, King Ming recognised the Eight Barren Demon Halberd, even though he could only catch a streak of its aura during the Forbidden Epoch.

He saw the way Heaven had collapsed. He saw the massive halberd coming down from the sky and destroying everything.

He could not have created a replica many years later if he had not seen the original.

That being said, King Ming never expected that he would one day see the original, and be this close to it as well.

Nevertheless, what truly terrified King Ming was the fact that the owner of it was standing before him now, and just moments ago, they were going to hunt him down.

Prior to this, King Ming did not even consider the possibility of this happening. It was too incredulous to even imagine.

That Forbidden Existence, the culprit behind the Forbidden Epoch, the one who caused the destruction of the Immortal Palace as well as the separation of the Source World and Immortal Domain… He was standing before him now, alive and well.

Who could have thought of this? Who would dare to think of it?

He was the Forbidden Existence who destroyed three thousand worlds with a wave of his hand. Even the Nine Heavens and all of existence were deeply afraid of him.

Even the Immortal Palace, which once ruled over all of existence, greatly paled in comparison to him. Because of him, the Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace died and the Immortal Palace fell apart. One could say that he was the reason behind the flaws of this world now.

Even the Everlasting Ancestors of Emperor Families spoke of him with reverence, fear, and dread.

At this very moment, King Ming felt chills running through his entire body. His limbs were cold. After realising the truth, he did not even have the courage to speak anymore.

His expression was one of extreme fear and unease. There was no longer any trace of his earlier arrogance and confidence.

“It seems like you’ve just recognised me. Since you know who I am, you should understand that I wasn’t joking with you earlier.” Gu Changge was still smiling faintly as the Eight Barren Demon Halberd swept across the sky once more.

The overwhelming malevolent aura seemed to tear apart the universe before him.

The divine senses that were spying on the situation immediately turned into dust. Many gasps and groans of horror and fear rang out before silence befell the corners of the universe again.

“Could it really be him…” The voices of Azure Heaven, Profound Earth, and the other Immortal King trembled.

Upon seeing the change in King Ming’s expression, they knew that things were just as they had speculated.

As fear crept over them, they could feel their Souls trembling too. This was something they never felt ever since they became Immortal Kings.

Fear, anxiety, unease…

The Forbidden Existence had emerged once more and was now standing before them.

King Ming’s Soul trembled with unease at the horror of an ancient legend resurfacing. The Ancestor of any Emperor Family would be reacting in this same fashion too if he were here.

At this moment, the only one who was not surprised by this turn of events was the big red bird, who had been on the side this whole time. It knew full well who Gu Changge was and understood what his reappearance in the Immortal Domain meant to those currently alive.

Once this news got out, the entire Immortal Domain, even the Other Domain would sink into a state of constant terror.

Before the Forbidden Epoch, when the Demon Lord and the Immortal Palace had not fallen out with each other yet, the Demon Lord had once ventured into the Other Domain and massacred a whole entire Emperor Family. Even the Ancestor of the Emperor Family had been beheaded.

Emperor Families were the most powerful Force in the Other Domain. They could be traced back to its beginning. Yet, an entire Emperor Family was still wiped out just like that. Naturally, this was also the only Emperor Family of the Other Domain in history that had been wiped out.

An Ancestor of the Emperor Family was Immortal and Eternal, an Emperor among Immortals at that. They were the most powerful beings that could be born in a True World. They stood at the very top and were the pinnacle.

Even the Grand Palace Master, at the Immortal Palace’s peak, could at most only defeat an Ancestor of an Emperor Family. Never could the Grand Palace Master take on the whole Family alone.

Therefore, one could imagine the effect that event had on the Other Domain.

This event was partly the reason why the Other Domain dared not enter the Immortal Domain later on when the Immortal Palace brought all the lands under one rule. Because the Demon Lord might be there.
