I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: This guy is simply not human, he even dared to calculate the Heavenly Lord

Gu Changge found herself intrigued.

Even after breaking up with Chi Ling, Ye Ling still possessed over 5,000 luck points. To be frank, Gu Changge was somewhat taken aback. When he had previously eliminated Long Teng, he had utilised the Luck Plundering Card once, and it had proven quite effective. Hence, he contemplated using it again. While Gu Changge had various methods to confront Ye Ling and diminish his luck points, it seemed unnecessary now. It was too convoluted.

Killing Ye Ling will grant you 3,000 luck points and 15,000 destiny points. Additional rewards will be assessed separately.

Gu Changge observed the system tasks. Apart from inheriting the title of Reincarnated Heaven Lord, he stood to gain a significant number of luck points. He was already calculating the benefits he would reap after eliminating Ye Ling. Gu Changge didn’t believe Ye Ling stood a chance of escape.

“Gu Changge, you’re so deceitful!” Ye Ling exclaimed.

I’ll confront you!

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s response, Ye Ling was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated such a statement from Gu Changge and responded angrily. Would Gu Changge continue to hold him accountable even after his demise?

A shiver ran down Ye Ling’s spine, followed by an overwhelming surge of anger and resentment. Gu Changge was truly ruthless. Curse it, this enmity would not be easily resolved, even if he were to slash Gu Changge a thousand times and reduce him to pieces. Would Gu Changge not release him even in death?

At that moment, Ye Ling’s body emanated a black divine light as he ascended into the air, transforming into a living black dragon. The dragon exuded a powerful aura, adorned with sturdy iron scales inscribed with divine symbols, displaying agile movements.

Simultaneously, intertwining white divine light formed a white phoenix on the verge of taking flight. The phoenix emitted a piercing cry.

Roar!

The black dragon reared up, emitting a deafening roar that reverberated across the four corners of the world. This signified the culmination of the power of reincarnation, symbolising the duality of black and white, the cycle of life and death, imbued with formidable strength. Even beings in the Heavenly God Realm had to exercise caution and refrain from approaching it recklessly.

Why do you all like using that line? What’s the implication that I deceive too much?

Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged as he lightly smiled.

Could it be that you expect me not to deceive you once you’ve exclaimed it?

With a flick of his sleeve, he ascended into the air. A low buzz accompanied the movement as he raised his palm and pressed downward.

A colossal hand enveloped the sky, surrounded by swirling runes, its weight seemingly astronomical, akin to a Heavenly palm causing the very fabric of reality to distort, on the verge of shattering.

The overwhelming pressure caused Ye Ling’s heart to race, his complexion turning ashen. This extraordinary feat was accomplished through an intricate array of runes, showcasing the caster’s profound understanding of various techniques. Among these were the terrible powers of the heavens and earth, descending in an instant. Most importantly, it invoked the power of the rules!

Puff!

Despite the terrible might of the power of reincarnation, it crumbled instantly against the power of the rules. The phoenix and black dragon emitted a wretched scream as they were swiftly obliterated by Gu Changge’s palm.

I bear no grudge against you, so why do you act against me?

Ye Ling’s face drained of colour as he attempted to flee the palm’s reach, only to find the void constricting around him like quicksand, leaving him trapped, his spine tingling with dread.

Boom!

At the critical juncture, Ye Ling activated a talisman, unleashing the pressure of the sacred realm. The rules intertwined, culminating in an explosion sweeping toward Gu Changge.

“How tedious,” Gu Changge remarked, his smile fading as his gaze turned indifferent.

Buzz!

Accompanied by a surge of terrifying demonic energy, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd materialised in Gu Changge’s hand, resembling a ferocious demon breaking free from the depths of hell. It exuded an aura of exhilaration and anticipation as Gu Changge coolly observed Ye Ling, his halberd poised to strike.

As the demonic aura intensified, the halberd emanated a dreadful light, interwoven with wisps of black rules, as if challenging the very foundations of the ancient heavens, cleaving through chaos and the universe itself.

This is…

The old turtle within the pendant trembled in fear as it recognized this peerless weapon of destruction, never expecting it to fall into Gu Changge’s possession.

Puff!

In an instant, the void before Ye Ling ruptured, eliciting a pained cry as the talisman he employed was annihilated. His skeletal structure crumbled under the onslaught of this terrifying aura, a cloud of blood mist erupting forth.

“This power transcends the typical sacred realm…” The old turtle’s voice quivered in dread.

“Ye Ling, don’t hesitate, use it! Otherwise, you’ll perish here today!”

Its tone carried an unprecedented sense of urgency.

Though the halberd failed to claim Ye Ling’s life, Gu Changge remained unfazed. There were undoubtedly numerous life-saving treasures at Ye Ling’s disposal. However, none would prevent Gu Changge from ending Ye Ling’s life today.

Puff!

I’ll see how many more times you can withstand this.

Gu Changge’s form radiated with demonic energy, his eyes gleaming with dark intent. His aura surged, evoking the image of a terrifying king capable of causing the heavens and stars to tremble. With another slash, the void before him tore apart effortlessly like paper.

How… How is this possible?

Ye Ling, drenched in blood, felt terror and despair grip him. The halberd’s light struck his body, causing the seven-coloured divine armour he wore to shatter instantly.

It’s worth noting that this divine armour was capable of withstanding attacks from entities in the Sacred Realm. In essence, Gu Changge’s recent assault had reached the level of the Great Sacred Realm. Contemplating this, Ye Ling nearly lost all resolve and succumbed to despair.

Despite being a junior of the younger generation, Gu Changge possessed such terrifying power. Was this the dreadfulness of forbidden demonic arts? The concept seemed surreal and unnerving, sending chills down Ye Ling’s spine as he struggled to come to terms with it.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t disregard the old turtle’s advice. Ye Ling didn’t desire death.

“Master, save me!” he pleaded, mustering every ounce of strength to activate a golden ancient talisman, even at the expense of burning his life essence.

In the sky, a radiant and translucent divine soul materialised— the most potent life-saving method bestowed upon him by the Reincarnated Heaven Lord. Yet, Ye Ling couldn’t afford to dwell on it now. Failure to utilise it meant certain death at the hands of Gu Changge.

Buzz!

The golden talisman, fueled by Ye Ling’s fervour, emitted a terrifying light, akin to the resurgence of some formidable entity.

At that moment, even the nearby cave and palace trembled, emitting eerie sounds. As the golden talisman surged with energy, the void distorted, and a menacing black divine light radiated outward, resembling the rise of a black sun within the space.

A towering, indistinct figure materialised, seemingly traversing through the annals of time. His gaze was unnerving, akin to the black sun and the white moon, evoking the presence of an ancient deity descending upon them.

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord materialised, his gaze profound despite being a spectral entity that had traversed countless ages. Yet, his aura continued to swell, causing the void to warp as if on the brink of collapse. A terrible pressure descended upon them.

Gu Changge surmised that thisReincarnated Heaven Lord was likely an ancient being who had transcended into another realm—the Immortal Land! Despite being only a shadow of his former self, his tyranny could still overshadow even entities of the Great Sacred Realm.

“Master, save me!”

Ye Ling couldn’t contain his joy and shouted in excitement upon seeing the towering figure, feeling a renewed sense of hope amidst the dire circumstances.

“Master!”

The old turtle within the pendant also expressed fervent excitement, calling out to the figure.

Reincarnated Heaven Lord.

Yin Mei’s expression shifted slightly, casting a worried glance at Gu Changge. After all, this entity hailed from the immortal ancient era, shrouded in ancient fame. Rumoured to control the cycle of reincarnation, he was regarded as an immortal. However, Gu Changge’s unwavering expression reassured her, eliciting a sigh of relief.

“Fool,” the Reincarnated Heaven Lord retorted coldly. Upon manifesting, his disappointment was palpable, directed squarely at Ye Ling. Although he was but a spectral remnant separated by aeons, he swiftly grasped the situation. As the heir to the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, resorting to this final measure due to a mere youngling of his generation was deeply disheartening. He hadn’t anticipated such incompetence from his descendant.

“Little Turtle, you disappoint me,” he addressed the old turtle within the pendant dismissively, disregarding Gu Changge entirely. As a member of the Heavenly Beings’ generation, even in his spectral form, he exuded an air of superiority that belied his ethereal existence.

Wiping out a junior proved to be a trivial task for him.

“Master…” the old turtle lamented, understanding the implications behind the Heavenly Lord’s reproach.

However, the complexities of the situation remained unspoken, and they had yet to discern Gu Changge’s true power. More importantly, they remained oblivious to Gu Changge’s true identity.

Master!

Ye Ling’s embarrassment was palpable, yet he also harboured newfound confidence. Regardless of Gu Changge’s might, could he truly contend against the mythical figures of ancient times?

Unbeknownst to him, the Reincarnated Heaven Lord had left his spectral form within that golden talisman. Had Ye Ling been aware, he might not have succumbed to despair so readily. The tide of events seemed poised to shift.

Now, it was Gu Changge’s turn to face desperation. However, to Ye Ling’s disbelief, Gu Changge’s countenance remained unchanged. Was he not concerned? Did he possess unwavering confidence in his abilities, or was his calm demeanour merely a facade?

“Heavenly Lord, it’s regrettable that it’s merely a phantom…” Gu Changge remarked, sizing up the spectral figure before him with a hint of disappointment.

“Huh? Junior, dare you belittle me?” The Reincarnated Heaven Lord’s gaze turned frigid in an instant, exuding a majestic and chilling pressure capable of crushing all life. In the external world, such power could easily bring about cataclysmic destruction. Within this realm, he reigned as the absolute master.

Yet Gu Changge maintained his nonchalant demeanour, smiling as he replied, “Belittle? No, Heavenly Lord, you overestimate yourself.” Before taking action, he had considered every possibility. In fact, he had anticipated the Reincarnated Heaven Lord ‘s contingency plan for Ye Ling. Thus, Gu Changge remained unruffled and devoid of anxiety.

Everything remained firmly within Gu Changge’s grasp.

“Junior…”

The Lord’s face darkened slightly, unaccustomed to such blatant disrespect. Despite his former stature, he now existed merely as a spectral entity, albeit one imbued with emotions. He contemplated obliterating Gu Changge, but when he beheld the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd in Gu Changge’s possession, his pupils constricted.

The more formidable an individual, the more acquainted they were with the ominous artefact. Its origins were shockingly vast. Though he hadn’t initially noticed, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Buzz!

In that moment, the void before him blurred, suffused with the power of the rules. The Reincarnated Heaven Lord found himself ensnared, if only for a fleeting moment, leaving him profoundly shaken.

“The Heavenly Lord’s optimism is misplaced,” Gu Changge remarked with a light smile before vanishing from sight. In the next instant, he materialised before Ye Ling, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd cleaving through the air with an unstoppable force, engulfing the surroundings in surging demonic energy.

“What…” Ye Ling’s initial relief dissipated, replaced by stark terror as his eyes widened in horror. His soul quivered with dread as he cried out desperately, “Master, save me! I don’t want to die! I have so much left to accomplish…”

Yet Gu Changge afforded him no opportunity to react. With a swift motion, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd ruptured the void, reducing Ye Ling—whose expression teemed with despair and reluctance—to a mere blood mist, annihilating both body and spirit in an instant.

“Your successor was rather feeble,” Gu Changge remarked, casting a faint smile at the incensed Heavenly Lord.

“Junior, you dare defy me! You court death!”

The Reincarnated Heaven Lord seethed with fury, his anger reaching its zenith.

Killing his successor right before him showcased unparalleled audacity. This junior was practically inviting death!

Even as the wielder of the ominous weapon, such defiance was unthinkable. The turbulent, overwhelming aura resembled a descending sky, intent on eradicating Gu Changge.

“Heavenly Lord, fret not. I’ll soon send you to accompany your successor,” Gu Changge maintained his faint smile.

From within his sleeve, a palm-sized jet-black treasure bottle materialised.

Buzz!

Simultaneously, with a mere thought, jet-black runes flashed in the void, imprinting themselves firmly and sealing the space where the Reincarnated Heaven Lord stood. These black runes exuded a peculiar power akin to chains, permeating every corner of the void. A black mist billowed forth incessantly.

“This is… the Devouring Immortal Demon Art…” the Heavenly Lord exclaimed, his expression contorting in disbelief as he realised he had been deceived.

When he beheld the jet-black bottle Gu Changge sacrificed, his disbelief only deepened. He dared not underestimate Gu Changge any longer. Gu Changge, as it turned out, was the successor of the Devouring Immortal Demon Art!

“Is this individual even human? To scheme against the Heavenly Lord… It’s utterly terrifying…” The old turtle within the pendant, though not entirely subdued, trembled intensely at the sight before it.

Buzz!

Shortly after, dense black runes materialised in the void ahead. The black mist billowed forth, thickening into an impenetrable darkness that engulfed all directions.

Gu Changge clutched the treasure bottle and stepped into it.

Within, a voice resonated—angry, unwilling, and disbelieving—sending shivers down the old turtle’s spine. It was the voice of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, once an invincible master. Even his spectral form wielded immense power, capable of obliterating galaxies with a mere thought.

The fact that such a formidable figure, virtually unseen in today’s world, could be overtaken by a young man of the younger generation, elicited an unwilling scream of protest. The old turtle was utterly shaken by the revelation. If news of this event were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation of monstrous proportions.

Soon, the fluctuations subsided, and the encompassing black mist dissipated. The runes vanished, and Gu Changge emerged calmly. With a flick of his sleeve, the treasure bottle vanished without a trace, leaving no hint of abnormality behind.

Simultaneously, the spectral form of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord also vanished, fading into the void.
