Chapter 1141

Chapter 1118 I am the greatest villain of all time!

Locke said to the Macedonian witch, “I read an article of yours discussing how, with a constant total rainfall, fewer rainfall cycles but larger single rainfall amounts are beneficial to the magical plant ecosystem in semi-arid regions.”

The Macedonian witch knew what Locke wanted to say and nodded, “It seems you really read my article carefully. That one was published in a second-tier journal in the Rain Swamp region. Yes, I know what you’re going to say. Indeed, most areas with low rainfall can use a pattern of small amounts of rain but large single rainfalls. However, there’s a problem: this pattern only works for areas with long-term drought, and this is not the case for most areas of the Genesis Lotus World.”

“Only the central region has a chronically arid ecosystem, so I can use this model there,”

Locke said. “We are all breeding masters. We just need to actively conduct magical plant breeding for the Genesis Lotus World collectively, changing the current ecosystem to one dominated by magical plants such as [Stipa grandiflora], [Ice Grass], [Sheep Grass], [Haloxylon ammodendron], and [Calligonum mongolicum]. This is a last resort; if we don’t maintain the ecosystem, this world will be even more difficult to sustain. But currently, the Genesis Lotus World has too many magical plants that require water and other resources.” “

In addition, we can also plant some special magical plants on the ground. These Emerald Iris Lichen, Azure Lichen, Moonlight Lichen, Sunlight Lichen, Crimson Lichen, and Starlight Lichen are magical plants that I cultivated during my apprenticeship. These lichen magical plants can lock in water resources, cover the earth, protect the earth, and generate their own resources. Moreover, they don’t require many resources, so I think they can be planted.”

“Besides that, I also have a type of first-tier magical plant that doesn’t require many resources, called Diamond Succulent. Perhaps you could try planting it.”

The Macedonian witch’s expression softened as she heard Locke mention a feasible solution. “I also have three apprentice-level magical plants that meet your requirements: [Mixed Cabbage], [Three-Sheep Cabbage], and [Haloxylon Cabbage]. These three are cabbages that I cultivated using drought-resistant plants, and they can fix some trace elements in the air. They are also an important component of my ultimate magic, Rain Witch’s Head, used to collect air elements. You should understand that.”

Edgar hesitated, but he didn’t really have any magical plants suitable for planting in arid regions that required few resources. After all, he mainly studied various tree-type magical plants and had never thought about the lack of resources. The idea of all things returning to the tree was the most powerful magic for gathering resources.

The Macedonian witch pondered, “Your arrangement might delay the apocalypse a little, but I don’t think it will last long.”

Locke looked at Edgar. “Edgar, your previous strategy of using the Tree of All Things to eliminate high-level professionals was like drinking poison to quench thirst. The more high-level professionals die, the more desolate the world will become, and the faster the apocalypse will arrive.”

Edgar rubbed his nose; this was because he was only thinking about escaping with the Ark, so he hadn’t considered the surrounding environment when devising this strategy.

Edgar asked, “Then what should I do?”

Locke said, “First, stop hunting high-level professionals, but you don’t need to cancel life support for ordinary elves.”

Edgar was puzzled by this. “I’ve already stopped having my ancient trees hunt high-level professionals, but if I don’t hunt them, I won’t be able to distribute the remaining spiritual energy to the ordinary elves and the lands they inhabit.

Unless you mean I have to give up the spiritual energy from those ancient tree magical plants,”

Locke said. “The spiritual energy from those ancient tree magical plants can’t be given up either, otherwise it’s no different from you hunting those high-level professionals. These days, the only way to maintain the world is through deception. I’m going to deceive the world, deceive all living beings.”

Edgar and the Macedonian witch were dumbfounded. Ramses couldn’t understand, so he simply gave up trying to understand; he just needed to hitch a ride.

In short, he just had to do what Locke said. At the same time, he also tried to send the news from here to the contestants along the Tianjiang River to satisfy his desire to share. In his description, the contestants along the Tianjiang River had gradually raised their evaluation of Locke to an almost inhuman level, as if Locke was the great demon king who ruled the Tianjiang River, and everyone needed to join forces to deal with him.

Locke then took out a bronze cauldron and flicked it with his finger.

“Isn’t there a shortage of spiritual energy right now? Luckily, I still have some alchemy skills. I’ll use the method for making Name Potion to create a new formula, and then I can concoct a bunch of fake spiritual energy that can deceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Of course, my current potion-making skills aren’t enough to deceive heaven and earth alone, but I can mix these concocted Name Potion into your two ultimate spells, blending them with the normal spiritual energy.” “

In that case, wouldn’t the spiritual energy be restored to the level before the end of the magic era, without increasing the aura of the apocalypse?”

Edgar and the Macedonian witch were dumbfounded.

It could be done like that?

The wizarding audience in the Rainswamp was dumbfounded by Locke’s plan, until one of them suddenly shouted, “Isn’t that just selling fake medicine?”

The group of wizards immediately exchanged bewildered glances.

The Death Doctor secretly glanced at the Sea Queen’s Throne, and even the Red Dragon Throne turned to look at her. Both of them looked at the Sea Queen with curious eyes, seemingly trying to figure out if she had taught them these things.

The Sea Queen covered her face and sighed speechlessly. “Locke, I didn’t teach you to sell fake medicine.”

In the world of the Primordial Lotus, Locke did as he pleased. He raised the flames of potion-making and extracted spiritual knowledge, drawing a spiritual macro from the spiritual breath. Then, following this macro, he consumed his own potions to raise magical flames and concoct name potions. His magical pressure dropped rapidly, but fortunately, he could recover using the magical pressure of the Rain Witch’s Head, replicated by the Tree of Prosperity. He also had the help and tacit approval of the Macedonian witch, allowing him to access and replicate the magical pressure here on a larger scale than before.

Thanks to the Tree of Prosperity’s mirror replication magic ability, Locke was able to create these name potions in a world so lacking in resources.

Next, Locke poured a large cauldron of Name Potion into the Milky Way. The Milky Way flowed gurglingly, and the Macedonian witch and Edgar watched the rolling river with strange expressions. Amidst their expectant and tense gazes, the mixture of this “three-nothing” potion and normal spiritual energy actually did indeed activate the Rain Witch’s head.

Locke said, “It’s a success.”

The Macedonian witch’s expression was complex. “Success, yes. Well, I didn’t expect even this could be counterfeited. Now I understand why those dark wizards are still so infiltrated despite the White Wizard Association’s strict defenses. The thinking of you people is truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.” “

However, Locke, at most this is just deceiving the heavens and earth, making them mistakenly believe they have escaped the apocalypse. This is still the most ideal situation.”

“Besides, the actual quality of the river water mixed with your potion is constantly declining; it’s just that the surface remains the same as before.”

Locke said, “But it’s enough to buy time. The three of you, let’s begin transforming the Creation Lotus World according to our plan.”

Locke looked at the world beneath his feet. He saw that the world was either a barren desert or a flood-stricken area. Cities, where people gathered, had been completely abandoned. People had demolished the walls around their houses, simply because when people no longer trust each other, only by being seen by the crowd can they ensure that they are in the same room without worrying about being suddenly attacked.

But with benevolence gone, how long can trust based on mutual deterrence last?

It’s just a rather fragile system.

“People fight each other, just to devour each other,” trampling others underfoot to gain a superior position. But this is hardly driven by vanity; it’s more about a sense of security. When they only believe in their own strength, sometimes ensuring they are stronger than those around them is a false sense of security—a

sense of security that ensures their safety before others harm them.

At this moment, a bright moon rises over the world of the Creation Lotus. Everyone looks up at the sky, wondering why it’s dark. Locke, however, addresses his three collaborators, “The three of you, let’s begin.” “

First, we’ll sow the seeds.”

Locke waves his hand, and instantly, seeds of lichen, diamond succulents, and drought-resistant plants scatter across the earth under the moonlight.

The Macedonian witches, not to be outdone, mix their seeds with rainwater and scatter them across the land.

Then, the Macedonian witches begin to bring rain everywhere. Changing the ecosystem cannot be too radical; it requires on-site investigation and planning. Therefore, they need to proceed slowly, but with the power of the Moon Ring Wizards, they can accomplish it.

The Macedonian witch and Edgar went to the earth to regulate the ecosystem, while Ramses helped Locke concoct the Name Potion.

The four moon ring wizards began to work together.

The mortals on this land only felt that the rain seemed to have lessened, but the amount of rain at one time had increased, the nights seemed to have become longer, and the days seemed to be getting shorter.

These elven mortals had forgotten the past prosperity and legends; they began to accept the present as the norm.

And when they accepted their former situation and forgot their past history, they fell into a kind of ignorant happiness. So their lives became simpler and simpler. They would open their eyes in the morning, take their weapons, and go into the forest to hunt wild beasts or elves, either way, they could eat them.

People began to forget about farming, because if they did, the crops would be stolen.

Similarly, building houses and inventing new things were things that people refused to do, because even if they made achievements, these things would be stolen. Others tilled the land, they robbed it, so the farmers would certainly not live as well as the robbers, and the robbers would naturally survive in the end.

They even thought that anyone still taking small steps in this era was the biggest fool in the world, someone who couldn’t keep up with the times and was destined to be eliminated.

Three years later, Locke, Edgar, the Macedonian witch, and Ramses met again at the core of the Celestial Realm.

The Macedonian witch said, “The ecology of the Creation Lotus World has basically changed, becoming entirely drought-resistant regions. A few areas that required meteorological science failed to be transformed and became dead lands. But such areas are very few; the ecology of most areas has changed very well. In this way, I can maintain the ecology of a larger landmass with less water.”

Edgar also said, “I used the fake medicine Locke concocted, disguised as spiritual energy, to infuse my Tree of All Things. Now, many of my ancient trees that had withered and died are now covered with new forests. In this way, my Tree of All Things has actually recovered to the level before the end of the Dharma era.”

Edgar’s expression was strange. “If self-deception has levels, then what we’re doing is the highest level of self-deception,”

Locke chuckled. “Isn’t this great? At this moment, the total magical pressure of the Genesis Lotus world has returned to its peak. As a price, I’ve also consumed a great deal, and it’s even difficult for me to recover. But there’s nothing I can do; this is the end times, and everything comes at a price.”

At this moment, the magical pressure of the entire Genesis Lotus world has returned to its peak, while the aura of doomsday hasn’t increased at all. This has led to normal spiritual energy completely overwhelming the aura of doomsday, causing the world to seem to believe it’s back to normal and attempt to restore the cycle of life and death in the planes, only to fail repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the swarms of insects that had been dormant in the lotus leaves sensed the world’s renewed strength and hesitated. These insects in the lotus leaves chirped and argued about whether to continue invading the Genesis Lotus world according to their original plan. But the world before them was so powerful and complete; compared to it, the insects had suffered multiple losses, only not all of them had perished.

Faced with a world that had become complete again, the insects were filled with doubt and fear.

The swarm hadn’t anticipated that this supposedly vibrant world, brimming with spiritual energy and imbued with magical pressure, was a complete deception—a grand hoax orchestrated by Locke. This deception, however, had momentarily terrified the swarm, causing them to once again enter hibernation, awaiting the next end of the world. They mistakenly believed that the Primordial Lotus World had been suppressed by wizards using unknown methods, thus preventing the apocalypse.

Therefore, the swarm had no choice but to adopt a hibernation strategy, waiting for the most opportune moment.

As Locke and the other three wizards stood in the heavens, looking down at the earth, they witnessed elves in a forest slaughtering each other for territory. Locke channeled his magical pressure into a new spell model of the Tree of Prosperity, which he had created, and placed the Tree of Prosperity within it.

Locke looked at Macedon and Edgar. “You two, it’s your turn.”

Macedon and Edgar each poured their immense magic into the spell model, creating a unique spell model.

At that moment, in an unnamed forest on the Azure Lotus Land of Creation, an elven swordsman, his face contorted with rage, was about to strike down his cousin—the other level 5 knight fighting him for territory—when he suddenly heard a thunderous roar.

The elven swordsman ignored it, continuing his quest to kill his cousin so he could reclaim the territory, which his ancestors had fought for for three generations; he couldn’t possibly let it slip away.

The next moment, lightning struck his head.

Locke’s voice rang in the ears of all the elves.

“Gentlemen, today, in my spare time, I suddenly had the leisure to forge a special treasure called [Tribulation Lightning]. From today onwards, every elf in the world who reaches level 5 in their profession will have to undergo my Tribulation Lightning in a random event. Only those who survive can become level 6. You ask me why I would do such a harmful and self-defeating thing? Hahaha—it’s simply because I can do it.”

“Gentlemen, you are all my playthings.”

“I am the greatest villain in history, and you should call me the Great Villain—Lord of the Eye Demon.”

Before the elven swordsman could react, a bolt of lightning struck his head. In an instant, all his magic as a swordsman was shattered, his clothes were charred, and his throat was steaming. Thunderclouds filled the sky, and the next moment, another tribulation lightning struck.

At the same time, the elven knight was about to get up from the ground to kill his cousin, but when he looked up, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in horror. A dark cloud gathered above his head, poised to strike him with lightning.

Both men, under this tribulation, offered little resistance and died instantly.

In that instant, one-tenth of all level 5 professionals on the entire continent perished, and the remaining level 5 elves were terrified and filled with dread.

In a flash, many high-level elves on the continent, such as those at levels 10 and 15, began cursing Locke Augustine, calling him the greatest villain in history, bestowing upon him the title of the greatest evil.

In the heavens, Edgar scratched his head and asked Locke, “How did you manage to get them to call you a great villain?”

Locke chuckled, “While it’s true that you should have faith in all the spirits of the world, there’s a problem: the hearts of people in this world have indeed become corrupt. From a practical standpoint, you can’t tell petty people that you’re weak, or use similar words of humility and courtesy, because they’ll take it seriously. And you can’t use empty talk about benevolence and righteousness with those who lack conviction; they’ll think you’re weak.”

“In this world, one can only intimidate people with infamy and power. Besides, the title of ‘great villain’ is something that those who pursue appearances generally don’t actively seek. But if I call myself a great villain, it won’t be like the previous Tree of Prosperity, which attracted those who crave a good reputation to imitate me, allowing those who pursue appearances to corrupt my magic and distort my meaning. I am a great villain, so naturally, those who pursue appearances will label me and think I am nothing.”

The Macedonian witch looked at Locke and asked, “Then why use lightning magic to kill those professionals?”

Locke spread out his right hand, and there, with the Tree of Prosperity as the core, the Rain Witch’s leader and the Tree of All Things Returning to Its Source converged according to their own magical model, combining the magic of the three to form a tribulation lightning. Without a word, Macedon and Edgar understood what this was.

The Tree of Prosperity can perform the ultimate magic of reducing to emptiness, and also the ultimate magic of reducing to emptiness for all beings. The Tree of All Things Returns to the Earth can collect the spiritual energy of the world and redistribute it. The Rain Witch’s Head can make the spiritual energy of heaven, earth, and humanity flow. In other words, the three ultimate magics are reducing to emptiness, redistributing spiritual energy, and flowing spiritual energy, respectively. At this moment, Locke uses the Tree of All Things Returns to the Earth to lock down all the spirits in this place, and then uses the Rain Witch’s Head to manipulate creation, turning vitality into spiritual lightning . Then, the Rain Witch’s Head sends the lightning to specific spirits, but this lightning contains the lightning of the Rain Witch’s Head and the heart lightning of the Tree of Prosperity.

In this way, the tribulation lightning is not just a kind of spiritual heart lightning, nor is it a single lightning magic, but a lightning that combines two powers.

Locke’s tribulation lightning can automatically strike an elf, drawing upon their own life force and channeling it into lightning to strike them, inflicting double damage on their body and spirit. If they can survive, the lightning automatically channels back into life force, healing their injuries, and the mental lightning is reduced to nothing, achieving a function that the Tree of Prosperity could never provide to ordinary people.

The Macedonian witch looked at the spell model and pondered, “So that’s how it is. By combining the power of the three of us, we can capture the existence of every elf and bestow tribulation upon them according to their conditions. The reason my Rain Witch Chief couldn’t do it before was because I didn’t have Edgar’s Tree of All Things, so I couldn’t directly lock onto everyone with lightning magic. Edgar’s magic system actually has such power. Of course, to empty an individual elf, we still rely on the Great Magic Tree of Prosperity.”

Edgar looked at the Macedonian witch, “My Tree of All Things, combined with the Tree of Prosperity and the Rain Witch Chief, actually has such power.”

Edgar showed a thoughtful expression. “If I had joined forces with the Macedonian Witch sooner, wouldn’t this world not have fallen to this state? Was what I did before really right? I was only focused on seizing resources, trying to squeeze the Macedonian Witch and the other contestants out of this world. But I forgot that what I wanted was to be the first to solve the creation puzzle, not just an empty title.”

The Macedonian Witch and Edgar exchanged a glance, then their dislike for each other returned.

Some things are simply incompatible.

To Macedonia, Edgar was too unique and unconventional, while to Edgar, the Macedonian Witch was far too controlling.

But one should learn to appreciate the good in others, not just focus on their flaws and indulge in the fantasy of being better than others. Therefore, both Macedonia and Edgar were deliberately tolerating each other.

The Macedonian witch attempted to construct some spell models, then said, “Your tribulation lightning can be considered a lunar ring spell model. As an offensive spell model, it becomes incredibly powerful. Those targeted by the tribulation lightning have no way to avoid it; their spiritual energy is drawn in. This spiritual energy maneuvers, reversing cause and effect, transforms into lightning that attacks themselves. Powerful, truly powerful. Locke, you are indeed superior to me now. The day you dared to provoke all the Star Ring Wizards of my Wizarding Land, it seems, was not without reason.”

The Macedonian witch looked at Locke and said, enunciating each word clearly, “After today, regardless of whether we can solve the creation mystery, you are no longer an unknown figure. You have officially entered the halls of the wizarding world.”

“Speaking of which, it seems that the intensity of your tribulation lightning can be set by yourself, but no matter how you set it, there is an upper limit. This is because the principle relies on my Rain Witch Chief to manipulate his own spiritual energy into lightning, so there is a theoretical upper limit value for the intensity. In other words, no matter how much you increase the intensity of the tribulation lightning, a genius of extraordinary talent can definitely cope with it at his level.”

Locke laughed, “This isn’t a flaw in the spell. It’s something I designed intentionally. The maximum intensity of both Heart Lightning and Life Lightning is the maximum intensity of a person’s spiritual energy. This way, I can use this method to test everyone in this world. It’s like a test I give them.” “

I’ll use their own spiritual energy to transform into tribulation lightning to see if they can withstand it. If they can’t even do that, it means these people are either wasting resources or lacking in skill.”

“However, I have already lowered the difficulty by about half. That is to say, I only used half of their spiritual energy to transform into tribulation lightning. Yet—those level 5 professionals on the Genesis Lotus Land couldn’t even pass this tribulation.”

The Macedonian witch looked at Edgar and said, “Some people’s power systems are too lenient, accepting all sorts of people. This is the consequence of indiscriminate teaching.”

Edgar immediately retorted, “Before the end of the Dharma era, it hadn’t gotten this out of control. If we have to say, Locke’s out-of-control replica of the Tree of Prosperity also created too many low-quality elven professionals.”

The Macedonian witch said, “This method is indeed good. Now, those people in the Genesis Lotus World are only concerned with short-term gains, ignoring long-term interests. Every breakthrough they make is superficial, seemingly meeting the standard, but in reality, they are all flawed. They are only concerned with immediate gains or trampling others underfoot. If they can only defeat others, then they certainly cannot pass the tribulation lightning.”

“Your tribulation lightning can force them to steadily progress in every realm, to think, to strive for ‘invincibility among their peers,’ or simply to pass the ‘tribulation lightning,’ but ultimately they all need to work hard. Surpassing others is useless; in a world where your tribulation lightning exists, anyone who cannot surpass themselves will die under its shadow.” “

And once they start thinking about how to overcome the tribulation,”

the Macedonian witch said, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with admiration for Locke’s spell model, which perfectly suited her aesthetic,

“then they will be forced to truly improve their limits. This might break their vicious cycle.”

The Macedonian witch pondered, “It certainly has a chance to resolve the current predicament, but whether it will succeed is still uncertain. At this moment, the three of us—no, the four of us—we can be said to have set a precedent in history. Therefore, what fate holds for us is difficult to predict.”

Edgar nodded earnestly. “This kind of ‘first’ is the first I’m pursuing.” “

Locke said, “Historically, no one who pioneers anything can ever know for sure they will succeed. Everything is like the blind men and the elephant; we must at least try.”

“This should be very beneficial for the three of us in forging great magic,”

the Macedonian witch said. “There’s a question. Since your lightning tribulation design is so ingenious, why not design one for each of the 20 levels? Why only 5 levels? Is it to give those high-level professionals some privileges?”

Locke shook his head. “I’m not trying to give those high-level professionals any privileges. But we are, after all, pragmatists, and sometimes we have to adapt to circumstances. Right now, the Creation Lotus World still needs those few high-level professionals to maintain its superficial prosperity. If I use lightning tribulations to kill them, then these people cannot be replenished in a short time. Therefore, I can only keep them safe for now and gradually increase the level of professionals involved in the lightning tribulations.”

“For now, it’s better to keep them out of the way.”

“The reason I didn’t set up tribulations at every level, like not at level 1 or 2, is actually the same. There are other reasons as well. My previous pseudo-forging, Little Leather, went down the wrong path, leading me to pursue form over substance. I no longer believe that people can intrinsically improve themselves. Therefore, I deliberately set up tribulations only at level 5.”

“The point is to intimidate those lower-level professionals, making them gradually realize that to pass this tribulation, they need to master every level before level 5. Then, I’ll force them to research and delve deeper, gradually teaching these impatient people to think long-term, stopping them from exchanging substance for form.” “

Besides that, there’s a very practical reason: I can’t possibly kill everyone here. Because there’s no longer a normal reincarnation function in this world.”

The Macedonian witch nodded, accepting Locke’s explanation. “Locke, I don’t believe in all living beings, I only believe in you.”

“Alright, your plan is quite interesting. I can do my best to help you. Let’s see if we can solve this problem that has remained unsolved for thousands of years.”

Edgar, however, fell into deep thought. He recalled what he had seen and heard in the Blackwater World; the people there had made him lose faith in humanity.

Edgar looked at Locke and said, “Locke, then let’s gamble together. Otherwise, we can only sit together and wait for the end of the world to come before leaving this world.”

On the land of the Creation Lotus, cries of despair filled the air. Initially, these elves thought it was just a chance act by the great villain, the Lord of the Eye Demons. So, although they were afraid, a month later, these elves quickly thought that life had returned to normal, and they needed to start fighting for territory again. If they didn’t fight for this territory, it would fall into the hands of others.

Now was a time of great strife; how could they not take the initiative and plunder the wealth of others?

But the next moment, a bolt of lightning struck, shattering their hopes. A bolt of lightning, reaching from the heavens to the earth, pierced through the elf. The level 5 elf, raising his sword to kill the old, weak, women, and children who had contested his territory, collapsed dead.

The lower-level elf warriors behind him were terrified.

“Our boss was struck dead by lightning—”

“What happened? Our boss was so powerful, how could he be killed by a bolt of lightning?”

“If our boss dies, who among us will be our leader?”

The elf warriors glared fiercely at each other.

Panic gripped the entire continent. They feared that all level 5 warriors would be killed by this unprecedented villain who disliked them. Some dared not advance to level 5, even when the replicas of the Tree of Prosperity tempted and coaxed them. Others rushed to level up from 5 to 6.

Over time, some high-level elves, to prevent their level 5 subordinates from being struck by lightning, began to actively train their underlings, passing on various tricks to enhance their strength. Finally, a level 15 magic swordsman successfully trained a level 5 magic swordsman, using a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts to temper his body and enhance his physical strength, allowing him to withstand the tribulation lightning.

The level 15 magic swordsman saw that the level 5 elf magic swordsman before him was charred black, his lower limbs seemingly shattered, and it looked like he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but he was still very happy.

“Hahaha—after my careful training and the magic I specially designed to temper your body, you finally survived this so-called tribulation lightning.”

“Oh?”

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to conjure life, the lightning transforming into life force, becoming wood energy, and descending upon him as a life magic. The level 5 elven swordsman blinked, and his withered lower limbs were rejuvenated; rotten flesh transformed into intact muscle. His bodily functions not only fully recovered but even became stronger. He felt much lighter, and his past ailments seemed to have completely disappeared. Although he was still a level 5 professional, he felt an inexplicable confidence that he would soon become a level 6 professional.

The level 15 elven swordsman was instantly overjoyed.

“Haha, I laugh at that arrogant demon. With a mere flick of my wrist, I shattered his so-called tribulation lightning. I see he’s nothing special. If I can teach one level 5 to overcome tribulation lightning, I can certainly teach many more. Right now, all my level 5 subordinates have learned my dual cultivation of magic and martial arts to temper their bodies. From now on, you will no longer fear that tribulation lightning. That great villain feared by the whole world, I fear not.”

The next moment, three bolts of tribulation lightning gathered in the sky and fell. Under the lightning, three level 5 magic swordsmen from his army were all reduced to charred remains, dying instantly.

The thousands of elves present were initially shocked, then filled with terror.

They discovered that the tribulation lightning seemed to have become even stronger.

The level 15 magic swordsman’s eyes widened as he looked at his three subordinates, only to see that they were completely dead.

“You wicked villain! How could such a heinous criminal exist in this world? I have committed countless atrocities, burning, killing, and robbing, but I have only harmed those I see before me. You, wicked villain, treat the world as your plaything, killing as you please. You wicked villain, come down here! Do you dare to show yourself and fight me?”

The swordsman’s blade gleamed with ice and fire magic; he possessed the magical pressure level of a crystallized wizard.

But the next moment, lightning struck again in the sky, and thunderclouds filled the sky. The swordsman was terrified and at a loss for what to do. The lightning bolts were striking his army’s level 6 professionals. Those who had been watching the show, thinking they were lucky to have eaten, killed, and robbed so much that they had secured their positions early and were now level 6, were now in a hurry.

They had initially thought that one should learn to secure a position beforehand, regardless of the consequences, and then stay put. Now that they were level 6, they wouldn’t suffer the same lightning tribulation as the weaker level 5 elves. But to their surprise, the lightning continued its attack. The

elves immediately turned to flee. Some summoned wooden shields, some summoned apprentice-level treants, and others conjured ice or wind shields—each employing their own methods. But the next moment, lightning flashed across the sky, and they were all struck dead.

The level 15 elven swordsman stared blankly at the scene before him, as did the other high-level elves in the army.

Thunderclouds filled the sky, seemingly shrouding the entire world. A tall figure appeared in the heavens. “Haha—it seems a level 5 professional can finally withstand my tribulation. Well then, the level 5 tribulation will remain at its current intensity for now. As long as any elf in the world can reach this level, I’ll let you live for the time being. However, I’ve recently taken a liking to this; I’m going to unleash a tribulation on level 6 professionals as well. You ask why I’m doing this? Simply because I’m powerful. The common people are my playthings. If anyone in the world dislikes me, feel free to come and kill me.” “

This is my right as a strongman. Hahahaha—”

The level 15 elven swordsman was dumbfounded. He was usually fierce and menacing; people would tremble at the sight of him. With a single roar, millions of elves could only kneel. But he never expected that there was such a great villain in the world. He had only intimidated a thousand people to kneel, but this great villain actually wanted everyone in the entire world to kneel.

“A truly wicked man! A truly wicked man! The greatest villain of all time, unprecedented in history! This villain deserves to be killed by everyone!”

Within the Creation Lotus World, many Level 6 Elf professionals who had been killed during this period were trembling with rage, pointing to the sky and cursing.

“A wicked man! You are a wicked man!”

“How could such a person exist in this world?!”

For a time, the entire world was cursing Locke Augustine, calling him the greatest villain in the world
