I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1157 - 1156: Battle with the Dragon Maiden, Semi-Saint

"What is your relation to the Dragon Clan?" Xu Zimei inquired.

One must know that the Nine Domains are different from the Yuan Central Continent.

The dragons of the Yuan Central Continent have nearly all perished at the hands of the Heavenly Curtain War God, leaving probably only the Dragon Tree in Xu Zimei’s Divine Continent.

That Dragon Tree blooms and bears fruit, giving birth to countless members of the Dragon Clan.

Whereas in the Nine Domains, the Dragon Clan, being one of the Eight Demon Tribes, wield immense rule and common folk dare not offend them.

The dragons that appear now, some are Pseudo-Dragons, bearing the bloodline of True Dragons yet mottled and mixed.

Some are based on the habits of True Dragons, ultimately cultivated into similar Cultivation Techniques.

This kind of Cultivation Technique can conjure Illusion Dragons, just like the previous dragon guards, but they are not True Dragons after all.

It’s also true that real True Dragons would not appear in the Mortal Domain.

Among the Sixteen Monster Races, the presence of beings like the Old Demon of Laoshan, an Arrogant Beast, is already a rare event throughout the ages.

"That is none of your concern," the Dragon Maiden said indifferently.

"It seems that you harbor some resentment towards the Dragon Clan," Xu Zimei said with a smile. freewebnσvel.cøm

The Dragon Maiden did not speak; her Candle-Holding Dragon Staff slowly revolved in her hand, with the dragon’s roar of a True Dragon emanating from within.

The majestic dragon’s might spread out, accompanied by overwhelming waves sweeping upwards.

With the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff ranked twenty-ninth among the Multitude of Objects, its power is self-evident.

Such divine weapons are indeed rare in the Mortal Domain.

These artifacts are not only limited to offensive capabilities but also include defense, enhancing one’s attributes, and various other marvelous uses.

The Candle-Holding Dragon Staff shone brightly with golden light, transforming into a Torrent and rushing towards Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei, wielding Tyrant Shadow, was surrounded by the profound meanings of the water attribute as he slashed forward directly.

With a "boom," numerous turbulent currents shot out, the water realm exploded, and two dull sounds erupted respectively.

Xu Zimei took a few steps back, while the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff returned to the hands of the Dragon Maiden.

The Dragon Maiden let out a cold shout, her powerful aura rising like a long rainbow piercing the sun, uncontrollably soaring into the sky.

That aura was so strong that it seemed on the verge of surpassing the realm of the Great Emperor of the fifth level.

"Great Saint?" Xu Zimei slightly furrowed his brows, then immediately shook his head.

"No, that’s not right. The so-called Great Saint attains a Divine Passage with their Divine Soul, bestowing independent consciousness, with the Divine Soul capable of growth on its own.

Each body cultivates together, with the life and death souls able to move outside of the body.

Even if the Divine Soul is annihilated, the body itself can remain undying and indestructible."

Xu Zimei felt a bit confused.

The power that the Dragon Maiden revealed was that of the Power of Laws.

It is well-known that the Great Emperor cultivates profound meanings, the Great Saint forges Principle, and the Taoist Fruit shakes the rules.

The Power of Laws indeed belongs to the Great Saint.

The Principle of the Great Saint is different from that of someone in the Nirvana Void state.

In the Yuan Central Continent, once one takes the Five Steps to Immortality, they become a powerhouse of Nirvana Void and can cultivate the Principle.

But what he cultivates is the Principle of the Yuan Central Continent.

Whereas the so-called Great Saint cultivates the Principle of the Nine Domains, and the Nine Domains are the true great world.

Between the two, there is not only a difference in quantity but also a difference in quality.

The Principle used by the Dragon Maiden is indeed that of a Great Saint, but she herself has not reached the foundation of a Great Saint.

There can only be one situation.

She belongs to the Semi-Saints.

What is a Semi-Saint? It is someone who has grasped the Principle but has not undergone the baptism of the great calamities of heaven and earth.

Their Principle has not gained the recognition of heaven and earth.

Thus, they can only be considered a Semi-Saint.

"Interesting," Xu Zimei said with a smile.

"No wonder you have the confidence to bet with me; in this Mortal Domain, apart from the Brahman Demon Great Saint, it seems you, too, are close to becoming a saint," he said.

"If it’s a fight you want, then a fight you shall have. Why bother with so much talk?" the Dragon Maiden said.

With the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff in hand, she looked like a war goddess clad in armor.

She charged directly towards Xu Zimei.

Above the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff, apart from the rolling descent of dragon’s might, there was also a mysterious force.

This force seemed specifically lethal to Demonic Qi.

Upon encountering it, the Demonic Qi melted away rapidly like snow in the sunshine of early spring.

"The Earth Demon Technique," the Dragon Maiden declared, holding the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff, her aura formidable.

It was almost as if she was crushing Xu Zimei underfoot as they fought.

Even with Xu Zimei activating the War God’s power, briefly elevating his strength to the level of a Heaven Venerable of the Great Emperor’s fifth realm, he was still no match for her.

The Heaven-reaching Trilife Gate opened, with boundless power flowing around him.

The two figures streaked past in the depths of the North Sea, stirring unrest in its waters.

The Blade Technique of the Way of Inquiry in its nineteenth form kept evolving.

Even so, Xu Zimei still felt an immense pressure.

The clash between Profound Meaning and the Power of Laws inevitably revealed a qualitative difference between the two.

"Surrender, you have no chance of winning," the Dragon Maiden said calmly.

"Not yet a Great Saint, and you dare to boast so boldly?" Xu Zimei chuckled.

The Curved Blade collided with the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff, sending out bursts of Jing Qi.

"One of the ten great Divine Methods, the Swastika."

With the Curved Blade in his right hand and forming a seal with his left, Xu Zimei summoned a massive Swastika, hurling it towards the Dragon Maiden.

The Dragon Maiden, not to be outdone, struck down with her left palm.

"Hiding the Dragon in the Palm."

A Golden Dragon moved with agility, colliding with the Swastika.

"Boom!"

Gigantic waves surged tumultuously.

The figures of both retreated from each other.

"Azure Dragon Spirit Attachment," the Dragon Maiden waved her right hand, and a long azure dragon flew out from her hand, instantly covering the Candle-Holding Dragon Staff.

The dragon’s roar resounded, its might illuminating the world.

"Fight," with the valor of a female hero, the Dragon Maiden once again swung her staff towards him.

This time, her movements enveloped by azure dragons, every gesture contained the spirit of dragons within.

Xu Zimei’s gaze sharpened as the Heaven-shaking Cyclone inside him whirled wildly.

The Azure Dragon came fiercely, with a majestic presence, faintly exuding a force of Suppression.

As the staff struck down, it whipped up countless waves, overturning the entire sea area.

Xu Zimei’s figure rose from the North Sea, stepping upon the surface of the water.

But the Dragon Maiden was in hot pursuit.

In this vast ocean, she was like a fish back in water.

"Demonic Ten Skills, second phrase: Earth Demon Technique.

All disasters be controlled."

Xu Zimei raised his hands, commandeering every disaster.

In this sea, the greatest disaster was naturally a tsunami.

He waved his hand, and a boundless storm with water surged throughout the North Sea.

The waves threatened to overturn the entire ocean.

In the sky, thunderclouds gathered densely with streaks of purple thunderbolts shuttling deep within the clouds.

Then plunged, exploding upon the great sea.

The forces of nature, unbendable by human will.

A roaring tsunami came, dragging the entire North Sea along, suffocating the Dragon Maiden beneath it.

The Dragon Maiden looked undisturbed, with a sweep of her right hand, a gigantic dragon forged of seawater coiled around her.

"Sea Dragon Guard Stance."

"Flame Dragon Descent."

Among the infinite thunderbolts of the firmament, a fiery red Flame Dragon emerged, breathing fire, and charged crazily towards Xu Zimei.

Simultaneously, the tsunami engulfed the Dragon Maiden.

While the Flame Dragon headed straight for Xu Zimei.

The entire sea surface was drastically torn apart.

The tremors of the North Sea spread tens of thousands of kilometers.

The creatures within this sea, unknown of how many times they would perish.

When the explosion that echoed between heaven and earth subsided, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

There were no traces of Xu Zimei or the Dragon Maiden to be seen.

Yet tens of thousands of kilometers away, the two had already crossed the Nine Skies and plunged into the sea at an unknown time.
