I Really Am A Villain

Ch. 1519 - Fall of Four Domains

Xu Zimo ordered calmly, “I want to see how fast these people can move, how long it will take for the other four domains to be destroyed.”hem. They were like key and lock, counterparts to one another. The cauldron was the perfect counter to the Lock; without it, that monstrous Fire Venom Beast could never have entered so easily.

Staring at the cauldron, Xu Zimo poured his Zhurong Flame into it.

In an instant, the cauldron came alive, radiating an overwhelming power. Its flames seemed capable of melting anything under heaven, no fire could compare.

Iron Gate let out a low laugh. “Funny, isn’t it?”

“What’s funny?” Xu Zimo asked.

“That a human like you wields the strongest fire in existence, while we, the Fire God Race, fall short even in our own element,” Iron Gate replied. “I’m curious, how did you obtain this flame?”

“Nothing mysterious about it,” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile. “It came from… an ancient god.”

“You mean, the legendary Fire God, Zhurong?” Iron Gate asked in shock.

“Seems you know quite a bit,” Xu Zimo replied.

“I’ve heard stories of Zhurong, or rather, every Fire God Race member has,” Iron Gate said with a nod. “But these days, few in the Fire God Race still care about that legend. Some even doubt whether Zhurong ever existed. But I know that there was a god named Zhurong in this world.”

“How are you so sure?” Xu Zimo asked.

“I once followed the Four Symbols Fire Progenitor to an ancient site left by the gods. Inside were statues of the Nine Ancient Gods. Among them was the Fire God,” Iron Gate explained. “The truth is, Zhurong’s identity has always been a mystery. Some say he was of the Fire God Race, others say he was human. There are all kinds of claims.”

Xu Zimo nodded slightly. When he’d rescued Red-Blade Bull Demon, he too hadn’t known much about the Fire God Zhurong. The being had always been shrouded in mystery.

He turned his gaze toward Realm Lord Bai, who was still cultivating.

Her entire body glowed fiery red, a coiling dragon of flame spiraling around her. Her expression shifted between calm and strain, her aura fluctuating wildly between strength and weakness.

Then, suddenly, something went wrong, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Failed?” Xu Zimo asked.

Realm Lord Bai nodded slightly, frowning. “I followed the scroll’s instructions exactly. Why did it fail? It doesn’t make sense.”

“The divine art of the Four Symbols Fire Progenitor was created for the Fire God Race,” Xu Zimo said with a smile. “Our human bodies are structured differently. It’s natural for it not to work perfectly. You don’t need to follow the method so rigidly, just cultivate in whatever way feels most natural to you.”

“I’ll try again,” Realm Lord Bai said, suddenly enlightened.

After all, practicing a Fire God Race technique in a human body was bound to bring difficulties. Xu Zimo’s words finally helped her understand.
