Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

"You talk as if I should know what that is. You'll have to be more clear about that book. What's it capable of? And how dangerous is it for me?"

"It's not particularly dangerous for you. It's a growth type book, unlike the other books. All it does is help the person become stronger, faster than others by indulging in Depravity," Xin answered.

"By indulging in Depravity, you mean...? No wonder he keeps a woman with her." Xu Shan understood quite a lot of things from Xin's description. However, he still had a lot of questions. "Why would his fate be so much higher than the others in that case? It can't be just because of the book like I thought before."

"It's most probably because of the woman who's with him," Xin thought of a possibility. "I'm not sure what her identity is, but she's most probably the reason behind his fate. Either that, or he has another treasure that's even more important than the book."

"How Peculiar..." Xu Shan disappeared, appearing back on the roof from where he could keep an eye on the entire town. "Looks like I'll have to wait and see him put all his cards on the line. Good thing we have some nice toys coming."

Xu Shan lazily rested on the roof, looking at the clouded sky. There were so many things about Yan Xu that he was curious about. He wanted to see every secret that the young man was hiding, but he didn't want to risk anything without knowing everything about him.

He didn't want to lose the treasure in case it was connected to Yan Xu's life, all because of his haste.

For the next few days, Xu Shan simply watched the Martial Alliance prepare for the incoming battle. The equation on the battlefield had changed after all.

The competition between the four clans was stopped since one of the heirs had been hurt. Instead, the people in command were furious about it and had commanded their people to stop playing around and annihilate everything.

All four invading Clans had joined their forces. Instead of coming from all four directions and allowing the Martial Alliance the advantage, they started working together.

The invading fleet that was about to attack the Town had become even stronger as other three clans joined.

The Martial Alliance also came to know of this information from their allies. The news frightened the Martial Alliance. With this, most of their tactics had become useless. None of them thought that the four clans would put aside all their differences and work together.

The Martial Alliance understood that they couldn't hold back anymore. Staying back was no different than weakening their own forces.

The Pressure on the Alchemy Sect Ancestor was also increasing since his plan had failed. He couldn't wait for Xu Shan's promised time.

Instead of retreating and letting other cities be ruined, the Martial Alliance came to a decision. They were going to fight with all their force.

The battle place decided for the last stand was none other than the town which was being targeted by the Invaders.

In the last few days, many Higher Ups from the Martial and Alchemy alliance arrived in the town. Multiple flying ships could be seen in the sky, the entire town being covered.

Tens of thousands of Warriors of this world had arrived, prepared to die for the cause.

"Looks like these people do know how to show off. Unfortunately, it's not even close to enough for the kind of enemy they will be facing." Xu Shan looked at the covered sky, many Warriors landing on the ground.

"Aren't you happy about that? The weaker they are, the more secrets that young man will have to reveal." Xin sat next to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan simply smiled but didn't answer. More than the boy, he wanted to see what Lin Mei was capable of. "I hope they won't bore me.'

Throughout the last few days, they had just been waiting. However, now things had started catching pace.

Amongst the people who landed, he even noticed the Alchemy Sect Head who was now the Martial Alliance Leader. He had come with the girl that Xu Shan had saved from the divine realm.

"That old man..." Xin looked at the Martial Clan head, rolling her eyes. "He made you save her, only to bring that girl to her inevitable death. What a waste."

"If they were to lose, I suppose the outcome wouldn't have changed even if she had stayed behind. Moreover, in any case, she's quite strong thanks to how much the Upper realm invested in her."

Xu Shan closed his eyes, feeling the nice weather. He told Xin to wake him up if there was anything of interest, before falling asleep.

The Martial Alliance Leaders met up with Yan Xu, treating him as best as possible. However, during the meeting, Yan Xu's eyes repeatedly went to the girl next to the Martial Alliance Leader.

The book in his inner pocket kept trembling, as if trying to tell him something.

Seeing the girl, Yan Xu revealed a smile. "What a great find. Go think that there would be a physique that even the Book of Depravity will be excited about."

"You're truly lucky. That girl has a perfect physique for you to become stronger. She also has a good cultivation. It's like someone had specially cultivated her for this. But now it'll benefit you."

Although Lin Mei was slightly jealous that Yan Xu was looking at the girl with greed, she wasn't selfish and knew that it was only for Yan Xu's benefits.

No matter what a good physique the girl had, once Yan Xu slept with her, it would become useless. Unlike her, Lin Mei was different and fated to be when Yan Xu. She also had a bigger background that was about to shock everyone here if disclosed.

"I would give it my all," Yan Xu told the Martial Alliance Leader, multiple meanings hidden underneath those words that the old man couldn't understand.
