The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

118: You failed because you should not cling to the past.”Your mouth is so foul, I cannot let you live!”

Wang Qing’s expression was as cold as ten thousand years of ice. When he gestured with a tilt of his head, the air seemed to congeal into blades.

Yao Ji moved in response, her figure like a phantom tearing through the Void Realm. The surrounding space twisted and fractured due to her aura.

She instantly appeared before Qiu Yuehan, stating indifferently, ”You can’t escape. Commit suicide!”

”I’m in a hurry!”

Her contemptuous tone pierced the eardrums like a poisonous thorn.

Qiu Yuehan trembled violently, her eyes blazing with blood-red fury as she shrieked, ”You’re nothing but a lowly woman yourself! An existence at the peak of Transcension, yet you wholeheartedly help Wang Qing. Shameless!”

”If you want to fight, then fight! Do you think this Empress is afraid of you?!”

With that, she raised the longsword in her hand and pointed it at Yao Ji. Before the sword’s edge even moved, the sky and earth darkened, and distant mountains collapsed like scraps of paper.

”Futile struggle is just a waste of time.”

Yao Ji spoke calmly, raising her hand and casually waving it. A longsword, formed from twisted space, also appeared.

The moment the sword materialized, the Earth’s core let out a mournful cry, and lava erupted like the mouth of a giant beast.

”Underestimating this Empress? Go to Hell!”

”Whoosh...”

A cold light flashed.

The sword light unleashed by Qiu Yuehan carried the Origin of destruction. Wherever it passed, space shattered like glass, and time storms were crushed into nothingness.

In an instant, the heavens inverted, stars fell, and countless observing creatures were torn apart, their cries of agony forming a symphony of Hell.

Yao Ji’s figure flickered intermittently, evading the sword light like an illusion.

She backhanded a sword, lifting a mountain to suppress it. The immense pressure cracked the firmament, and a tsunami of lava engulfed ten thousand li of mountains and rivers.

”Ah!”

The sword light unleashed by Qiu Yuehan annihilated the creatures of this world observing from hundreds of thousands of li away, their severed limbs raining down.

She didn’t have time to think further, her gaze shifting as she shot a venomous look at Wang Qing, allowing the massive mountain to fall.

”Boom!”

The ground exploded into an abyss, lava spewed like bloody tears, and everything in the path of the spreading sea of fire turned to charcoal.

Wang Qing leaped up, suspended in mid-air, quietly watching Shi Yi and his future self.

Yao Ji saw Qiu Yuehan use the force against itself. Before the mountain fell, she tore open space and plunged into the River of Time.

”Where are you running to~” Just as she was about to give chase, Wang Qing stopped her. ”No need to pursue.”

”Her Revered Master hasn’t appeared. She must have fled back to the Ancient Realm where the Transcendents Alliance is located.”

With a prompt, Wang Qing had already landed where Shi Yi and his future self were. He casually waved the long halberd in his hand.

”Pfft...”

Blood gushed like a fountain. As Shi Yi’s head rolled, his pupils still held the frozen terror of disbelief.

Shi Yi’s future self was also slowly disappearing, his expression no longer struggling, but filled with endless bitterness.

”Why, why!”

”I’ve returned from the future tens of thousands of times, and each time, it’s this same outcome.”

”If I had such a terrifying background as you, it would be you who died today!”

Tears of blood streamed from the corners of Shi Yi’s future self’s eyes. His gaze held relief, a hint of unwillingness, and finally, resignation.

”Hehe, that’s because you’re foolish, unable to let go of the past!”

”Transcendent beings escape Reincarnation; they can clearly sever the past and future.”

”But you coveted the beauty of the world, and on top of that, you killed two of my followers. This is the root cause of your defeat.”

Wang Qing’s eyes were full of mockery. With a flick of his sleeve, the Primordial Karma Fire incinerated Shi Yi’s future self into ashes, without even a chance to cry out.

He finally understood.

Shi Yi’s future self would always return to this point in time to save someone, which was an unwise choice.

The best way was to sever the past.

Wang Qing also had no leisure to chase him across countless timelines; this way, Shi Yi’s future self could escape having traces of his existence erased.

”Sizzle sizzle!”

The Earth’s core of this world completely exploded. Lava, like a flood, devoured the remaining continents. Countless living beings turned to bones in the sea of fire.

”Why didn’t you let me pursue her?” Yao Ji appeared from the shattered Void Realm in the distance, quite puzzled.

Wang Qing’s Divine Thought swept across this world. It was not far from breaking apart.

He wrapped his arm around Yao Ji’s slender waist and said with a mischievous smile, ”I’ll tell you in bed!”

”Whoosh...”

Before Yao Ji had time to react, Wang Qing took her into the internal world of the primordial ring.

No sooner had the two left than You Mingchan and King Qin the Slaughterer descended upon the Profound Abyss Ancient Realm.

But it was too late. This realm was already like a broken eggshell; where lava surged, only scorched earth and the wails of vengeful spirits remained.

Several Immortal Emperors hastily fled into the River of Time.

Other creatures had either been torn apart by the two transcendent auras or severely wounded by the battle’s aftershocks and fallen deep into the Earth’s core.

Originally, anyone who reached the Immortal realm could have escaped, but they were all severely wounded by the transcendent auras and couldn’t escape the fate of being swallowed by the lava.

”Wang Qing, I will never rest until one of us is dead!”

You Mingchan’s eyes were splitting with rage, watching the scarred earth, his heart bleeding.

This was an ancient world he had managed for countless epochs, and in less than ten days, it had been ravaged by Wang Qing.

He wished he could return Above the Nine Heavens right now, kill his way to Hongmeng Island, and destroy the Taboo Wang Family.

However, he could only dream of it, because it was simply impossible.

If he really ran to Hongmeng Island, he would probably be slapped to death by the Hongmeng Empress.

”Don’t be angry.”

”The Nine Heavens Divine Domain was originally at war with the Great Dao God Clan!”

”The Taboo Wang Family and Piaomiao Forbidden Zone assisted the Great Dao God Clan, while Cave Master Shan Qiong assisted the Nine Heavens Divine Domain.”

”The front lines were raging, and the war affected the Multiverse.”

”However, the Grandmist Dao Discussion was imminent, and the Hongmeng Empress issued a decree ordering everyone to stop fighting, and everything would be discussed after the Dao Discussion ended.”

”The Taboo Wang Family, Piaomiao Forbidden Zone, and Great Dao God Clan jointly established the Primal Divine Court, and Wang Qing was honored as the Primordial Divine Lord.”

”Mu Bingxuan, Xuan Yuan Shuangyin, Forbidden Lord Shuixi, Ye Xuanling, and Shen Shiyao were known as the five Primordial Divine Consorts.”

”Now, the Primal Divine Court, Nine Heavens Divine Domain, and Shanqiong Cave have temporarily reached a truce, and the war will resume after the Dao Discussion.”

”Currently, the two of us are no match for Wang Qing. It’s best to choose to pledge allegiance to the Nine Heavens Divine Domain or Shanqiong Cave.”

King Qin the Slaughterer spoke at length, finally letting out a sigh.

Wang Qing’s wings were too strong now; he alone conquered the Great Dao God Clan and the Piaomiao Forbidden Zone.

Excluding the hidden forbidden forces, the Hongmeng Sea had now evolved into four hegemons: Hongmeng Divine Kingdom, Other Shore Divine Court, Nine Heavens Divine Domain, and Shanqiong Cave.

There were no longer the Great Dao God Clan, Piaomiao Forbidden Zone, or Taboo Wang Family in the world.

You Mingchan regained some sanity, turning his head to ask, ”What do we do now?”

”Pledge allegiance to Shanqiong Cave!”

King Qin the Slaughterer spoke concisely, with no intention of staying in this realm. He turned and tore through the sky, disappearing.

”Alas,” You Mingchan sighed, no longer lingering on the past prosperity. He resolutely went to pledge allegiance to Shanqiong Cave.

Three days later... In the internal world of the primordial ring, in an ancient pavilion, a creaking sound occasionally emanated from one of the rooms.

”Wang Qing, you’re truly a scoundrel!”

”I helped you out of good will, and you turn around and harm me!”

”Ugh... gentler, you jerk!”

Yao Ji complained softly, her voice melodious and pleasant to hear. Though it seemed like a reprimand, it sounded more like flirting.
