I Really Am A Villain Chapter 197 - One Leaf Ancient God

📢 New Novel Launch!

“Patriarch Ye, there’s no need to doubt us,” White Tablet Ancestor said with a smile. “The five of us once obtained a formation. Within that formation, our peak Empyrean Meridian Realm strength can temporarily be boosted to the God Meridian Realm for half an hour. After years of effort, we’ve finally gathered all the core materials needed to activate it.”

“What’s the price?” Ye Shilong narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.

He didn’t believe for a second that the five would help out of pure goodwill, after all, no one hands out favors for free.

“Once we subdue that meridian beast, it belongs to us,” said White Tablet Ancestor.

“No problem,” Ye Shilong nodded.

“And we might need your Ye Clan’s ancestor to emerge. With six God Meridian Realm powerhouses, our chances are better,” White Tablet Ancestor added. “After all, we’re only pseudo-God Meridian.”

“That’s impossible,” Ye Shilong refused without hesitation.

Their clan’s ancestor was currently sealed within the Dustblood Stone, each time he emerged would cost him a significant portion of his lifespan.

To put it bluntly, the ancestor was the foundation of the Ye Clan.

To risk him just to save Ye Feiling? Even if Ye Shilong agreed, the clan elders never would.

……

“If you allow your ancestor to emerge, once we subdue the meridian beast, we’ll let your Ye Clan keep it,” the Five Ancestors of the Stone Tablet conferred briefly before White Tablet Ancestor offered the proposal. “But we have one condition.”

Everyone inside the Ye Clan’s main hall looked visibly excited.

If they could gain a God Meridian Realm beast just like that, the Ye Clan’s power would skyrocket.

“What condition?” Ye Shilong asked, suppressing his excitement.

“We want half of the beast’s essence blood,” White Tablet replied. “But rest assured, even though the beast will be weakened for a while, with enough spirit medicine, it will recover in time.”

Ye Shilong narrowed his eyes in thought, studying the five.

He already had his answer.

Clearly, the reason they were helping was to get the beast’s blood.

Or more likely, their cultivation, being based on beast race techniques, depended on it to advance into the true God Meridian Realm.

Each side would get what they wanted, they’d save Ye Feiling and gain a God Meridian beast.

While the Five Ancestors would get the precious blood they needed.

“Deal,” Ye Shilong slammed the table. His Empyrean Meridian Realm aura burst out as he stared into the distance.

“The Ye Clan… is not so easily bullied.”

……

“Time’s almost up,” Xu Zimo murmured as he opened his eyes, gazing toward the Ye Clan’s pound.

Chaos let out a deafening roar and slammed its massive claw against the city wall. Boundless spiritforce echoed through the air.

BOOM! The towering ancient wall trembled as rubble and bricks began falling from above.

“Let’s not be hasty,” Ye Shilong appeared, stepping through the air, his body surrounded by surging energy. He smiled lightly.

“Looks like you’re going back on your word,” Xu Zimo smiled coldly.

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit too tyrannical?” Ye Shilong said calmly. “You want to execute my son without evidence. Where does that leave the Ye Clan’s dignity? I can’t agree to this. But if you walk away now, I’ll pretend none of this happened.”

Xu Zimo let out a light laugh and shook his head.

“Just don’t regret it.”

……

In that moment, all five of Xu Zimo’s meridian gates opened, and at the same time, Chaos’s eight meridian gates lit up as well.

A powerful resonance surged between the two of them as spiritforce flooded the void. Xu Zimo’s figure slowly began to disappear into thin air.

In that instant, Chaos leapt, soaring directly into Primordial Ancient City.

Its claws slashed through layers of space, slicing with razor-sharp momentum directly toward Ye Shilong.

Ye Shilong’s expression shifted. He shouted to the surroundings: “Are you ready?!”

“Almost,” came the reply from the four corners of the city, where the Four Tablet Ancestors stood at the key points of a formation.

White Tablet Ancestor stood in the very center of Primordial Ancient City.

Five beams of light shot into the sky, painting the heavens in five radiant colors.

Ye Shilong quickly retreated, this battle was too dangerous. He had not involved any other members of the Ye Clan.

In the face of such overwhelming power, anyone else would be cannon fodder.

……

Chaos let out a cold snort. As Ye Shilong darted through the air trying to escape, Chaos’s vast beastly aura burst forth, freezing space in place.

Its massive claw swept forward, imbued with unstoppable force, aimed directly at Ye Shilong.

At that moment, the five beams of light in the sky grew stronger. A crushing pressure descended from above, enveloping the Five Tablet Ancestors.

Just as Chaos’s claw was about to land, a blinding ray of light shot from the distance and slammed into it, causing a slight delay in the strike.

It was just enough for Ye Shilong to narrowly escape with his life.

Chaos turned its head slightly and saw an elderly man walking through the air from the far horizon.

All eight meridian gates around him glowed. Above his head, his True Fate manifested. His green robe stirred with the winds.

His True Fate was a leaf, deep purple in color, etched with countless runes.

As the leaf descended from the void, it emitted endless violet light.

At the same time, the five beams of light surrounding the city reached their climax, twisting the sky into a vortex of clouds and storms.

The bined pressure of five God Meridian auras surged from the Tablet Ancestors.

People hiding within the city peeked out at the scene, eyes wide in awe.

“Six God Meridian Realm cultivators… and a God Meridian Realm meridian beast.”

“Are they trying to tear a hole in the sky?!”

“Since when did Primordial Ancient City have this kind of power? I’ve never heard of this before.”

“See that old man? That’s the Ye Clan’s ancestor, One Leaf Ancient God!”

“One Leaf Ancient God? Isn’t he one of the original founders who rebuilt Primordial Ancient City?” someone said, stunned.

……

“Things are getting lively,” Xu Zimo said with a smile, gazing at the scene. “Then let’s have a good fight.”

Behind Chaos, its two pairs of blood-red wings spread wide, blocking out the sun. It let out a furious roar and charged straight toward the old man.

The blood-red wings sliced through the silent void, and a mighty claw slammed down upon the purple leaf of the True Fate.

BOOM!

A shockwave exploded outward like a mushroom cloud in the sky.

One Leaf Ancient God was sent flying backwards.
