I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2524

Chapter 2524: Chapter 2523: The Crimson of the Peach Blossom World, the Hell of the Ninth Star System

For the words of the black shadow, the World-Weary Empress did not respond.

She had sacrificed much for this Cosmic Trial, but unfortunately, in the end, it was all for nothing.

And she had even wagered the fate of the entire Daughter Star.

She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

“For a trial like this, who knows who could possibly pass it?”

The once vast Daughter Star had been reduced to a tiny remnant.

Countless deaths, and the mountains and plains covered with corpses were unbearable to look at directly.

The Daughter Star’s return to its former glory seemed a distant hope.

At this moment, the black shadow rose into the air.

He seemed like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, truly finding freedom.

Constantly shouting, constantly laughing.

Finally, he seemed to spot Xu Zimei and the others.

With one step on the cosmic void, he flew towards Xu Zimei and the others.

“Fellow Daoists over there, from where do you come?”

The black shadow turned his gaze to Xu Zimei and loudly asked.

He could sense that Xu Zimei was the strongest presence among them.

This aura surely came from a grand world.

Currently, the black shadow did not know much about the Third Star System.

He was from the Ninth Star System.

Though he had visited many star systems before, it was his first time in the Third Star System.

“Coming from the Extreme East,” Xu Zimei replied.

He was also quite curious about this black shadow.

Because the power on the other’s body, including the cultivation system, seemed something he had never seen before.

This made Xu Zimei want to get to know the other.

“To where are you headed, fellow Daoists? Could I accompany you?”

The black shadow landed in front of Xu Zimei and the others, asking.

At this point, he began to transform his physical body.

His skin appeared black, and his features resembled an elder weathered by the frost of years.

His body transformed into farming clothes.

“To seek the light, would you like to join us?” Xu Zimei asked.

“It doesn’t matter what the task is. I have nothing else to do, and instead of wandering aimlessly in this vast universe, I’d rather follow you.”

The black shadow said nonchalantly.

He then began to introduce himself.

“My name is Chong Wu, and I’m from the Ninth Star System.”

At this point, Tiger Wing could no longer hold back and asked.

“You… Your Ninth Star System should be sealed, how did you just escape?”

“Can’t say, can’t say,” Chong Wu smiled and shook his head.

“How about my proposal? Let me accompany you. I bear no ill will.”

“If you need any help, I will gladly assist.”

Hearing this, the three turned their gaze to Xu Zimei.

After all, Xu Zimei was the one who made the final call here.

“Then follow along,” Xu Zimei said.

“But our journey is fraught with dangers, be sure of it.”

“No problem, no problem.”

Chong Wu hurriedly waved his hand.

Thus, the five formed a small team.

The first destination was the Peach Blossom World.

That was the place of my former agreement with a corner of the universe.

It’s also where Misty Mountain awaits.

Xu Zimei was in no hurry to inquire about Chong Wu’s cultivation.

After all, it’s not appropriate to ask so soon after meeting.

As Quan Shan and the Demon Noble brought out the cosmic battleships, the five each entered a ship.

Xu Zimei invited Chong Wu into his own battleship.

With the battleship activated, it turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the universe with brilliant force.

……

“This universe, for thousands of years, really hasn’t changed,” Chong Wu remarked as he looked outside through the battleship’s special glass.

Outside the universe, starry lights sometimes appeared brilliantly.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

“But it’s because it hasn’t changed that it’s precious,” Xu Zimei walked up, speaking calmly.

Chong Wu turned to look at Xu Zimei.

His body was initially all black, but over time, red hair slowly started to grow.

He chuckled, “Indeed, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a beautiful sight.”

“The more obsessed with power, the more one overlooks the beauty in front of them.”

“The Ninth Star System… what kind of world is that?” Xu Zimei casually asked.

“A hellish world, where everyone is lost to power,” Chong Wu said with disdain.

“If I were the Cosmic Will, I’d destroy that world. But sadly, the universe is fair.

It gives everything a sliver of hope.”

Chong Wu shook his head slightly.

Seemingly unwilling to say more about it.

As the cosmic battleship moved at high speed, they finally arrived in front of the Peach Blossom World.

Ordinarily, to enter a world directly, one must see if it is open to outsiders.

If open, you can enter directly.

If not open, then one must use the Will of the World Bridge to transfer from another world.

But the Peach Blossom World’s situation is somewhat special.

Ever since that event occurred.

The Peach Blossom World has become a completely abandoned planet.

Except for the natives, no one else is willing to come here.

Many even avoid mentioning it.

From the outside, the Peach Blossom World is very beautiful.

It’s like a peach blossom about to bloom.

But upon closer inspection, you’ll find that the petals, originally pink, have turned crimson.

In the midst of the beautiful peach blossoms lurks danger.

Xu Zimei and the others stored away their cosmic battleships, then directly rose into the air.

They broke through the defenses of the Peach Blossom World and entered inside.

The Peach Blossom World used to be a famous small world, but now it has completely declined.

When Xu Zimei and the others entered.

The vast planet appeared desolate, with no birds in the mountains and no people on the paths.

Apart from a few natives, there were hardly any people to be seen.

Misty Mountain had left Xu Zimei a map when departing earlier.

A map leading to the Mist Bridge.

Xu Zimei quickly assessed directions.

And then steadily proceeded according to the map.

At midday, they arrived at a wilderness area.

The wilderness had only three households, appearing very sparse.

At this moment, smoke curled up as if lunch was being made.

Xu Zimei prepared to ask for directions.

At the entrance, an old man and a child were setting up wood and roasting food like sweet potatoes.

When Xu Zimei and the others appeared.

The old man looked on with deep puzzlement and confusion.

The child was full of curiosity.

After all, they had never seen a stranger before.

“Old man, we’re lost, could you help us with directions?” Quan Shan stepped forward with a smile.

“Directions? I-I don’t know many places,” the old man replied quickly.

“Our family has lived here for generations. I haven’t traveled far.”

“Do you know the Mist Bridge?” Quan Shan asked.

As soon as the words were spoken, the confusion in the old man’s eyes turned to terror.

He waved his hands quickly.

“I don’t know, I don’t know.”

“You’d better leave. That place is ominous and those who approach it die.”

Seeing the old man’s incoherent expression, the group exchanged glances.
