I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Huang Fuwen’s brain felt like mush, and he was absolutely stupefied.

Who am I? Where am I? What the hell just happened?

His body felt like it had fallen apart. Moreover, his head was booming with pain, and it seemed like his brain was being ripped into pieces.

An Lin walked toward Huang Fuwen slowly. “Dark Essence Crystal… So, you were the one who massacred the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Second Divine Mirror Enforcement Team?”

“Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Second Divine Mirror Enforcement Team?” Huang Fuwen crawled up from the floor. Then, a look of fear spread across his face. “Who on earth are you?”

“Heh, so it was you. I’m An Lin.” An Lin removed the disguise from his face as he continued to close in on Huang Fuwen.

Huang Fuwen’s expression changed drastically upon seeing the face that was often plastered across newspaper covers. “Elder Ming!” he roared. “Lend me your strength!”

He was barely able to wrap his mind around this. The cultivator who he had been looking down upon was actually the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect! This was the most dazzling prodigy among the younger generation in the Kingdom of the Nine States!

The black pearl suddenly shone brilliantly.

A white-haired elder leaped out from the pearl and entered Huang Fuwen’s body.

Huang Fuwen’s aura surged rapidly, and it eventually reached the level of a Return to Void Stage cultivator. The pitch-black power of darkness caused all vegetation within a five-kilometer radius to wilt and shrivel, and the life forces of all animals within this range was also stripped. It was as if the God of Death had descended into the world.

Elder Ming’s voice sounded at this instant, “Huang Fuwen, we’re still no match for An Lin right now. Escaping is the first priority. Don’t hang around for any longer than you need to!”

Huang Fuwen also knew that he was no match for An Lin right now. Even with Elder Ming’s power, he still couldn’t defeat An Lin. However, his talents were extraordinary, and he was confident that he would surpass An Lin one day. At that time, he would trample An Lin below his feet!

Defeating An Lin could wait until later!

Huang Fuwen’s aura became immense, and he roared at the nearing An Lin. “An Lin, be arrogant all you want now! The wheel of fortune is constantly turning. You may pummel me now, but I might be the one smashing you in the future! Don’t pick on—”

Before he could even finish speaking, however, An Lin had already charged before him again. A golden fist hurtled down once more.

Thanks to Elder Ming’s power, Huang Fuwen was finally able to react. A pitch-black power of darkness swept toward An Lin violently.

A boundless destructive power annihilated everything in its path.

However, An Lin’s golden fist ripped through the power of darkness and hammered into Huang Fuwen’s chest, causing it to cave in significantly.

“Ahhh!” Huang Fuwen felt like his internal organs had all been pulverized by this punch. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and tumbled to the ground once more.

An Lin walked toward Huang Fuwen and sneered, “Don’t pick on the poor young lad? Do you really think that you’re Xiao Huohuo[1]? I’m straight up going to pick on you. What are you going to do about it?”

Huang Fuwen trembled in fury. He glowered at An Lin resentfully and spat, “Don’t let me escape. Otherwise, I, Huang Fuwen, will definitely return this favor tens of hundreds of times over!”

Boom!

Huang Fuwen’s aura surged once again. Crimson veins filled his eyes, and his arms fractured open, causing blood to gush everywhere.

It was clear that he had activated a mystic technique that had severe after-effects.

A pair of pitch-black, heaven blotting claws tore through the clouds and descended from the sky.

Unexpectedly, these gigantic claws actually contained the divine dao of the Dark Conquering Swallow!

“Mysterious Dark Claws!”

Huang Fuwen roared loudly as he unleashed his full power.

The power of this technique was equivalent to the full-power strike of a Return to Void Final Stage cultivator!

An Lin smiled calmly and shrouded his body in flames. His skin became a crimson-gold color.

He stepped forward and voluntarily crashed into the descending Mysterious Dark Claw like a fiery meteor. Then, the Mysterious Dark Claw was obliterated under Huang Fuwen’s stupefied gaze.

An Lin charged once again. His target was Huang Fuwen.

“No!!!” Huang Fuwen roared in terror as he poured all of his power into defending.

An Lin’s body was like a battle chariot as he ripped through the power of darkness with ease. He grabbed Huang Fuwen’s neck with a single hand and smashed his body into the ground!

Boom!

The ground fractured and caved in.

A crater measuring one thousand meters in radius appeared in the ground.

Huang Fuwen continually coughed blood as he lay in the center of the crater. His neck was still tightly gripped by An Lin’s hand.

“A life for a life. It’s time to exact revenge for the fifty-five members of the Divine Mirror Enforcement Team,” An Lin whispered softly.

Huang Fuwen was seething with rage as he glowered at An Lin. “I did nothing wrong! Why are you trying to kill me! They were the ones who robbed my Dark Essence Mine! They were clearly in the wrong! They all deserved death!”

An Lin: “…”

Did this lad selectively forget something?

“I, Huang Fuwen, am the Child of Destiny,” Huang Fuwen continued. “I was born with the Dark Root, and I also have the help of Elder Ming. I’m destined to reach the pinnacle of the divine dao! You can’t kill me! If you’ve got balls, then give me ten years! After ten years, I’ll definitely—”

Crack!

A crisp snap suddenly echoed throughout the crater.

Huang Fuwen’s neck was crushed…

Up until the last second of his life, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he was going to die just like that. It was far too sudden, so much so that he didn’t even have time to finish off his lines.

“So much f*cking nonsense.” An Lin casually flung Huang Fuwen into the crater. “If you reincarnate, remember not to provoke the Four Nine Immortal Sect in your next life.”

An Lin snapped his fingers, and a divine flame burst out and incinerated Huang Fuwen’s corpse.

Under the blaze of the divine flame, Huang Fuwen’s expression of pain, disbelief, hate, terror… and so on finally disappeared once and for all.

“The world is finally rid of another retard…”

An Lin sighed with emotion as he picked up Huang Fuwen’s storage ring. Then, he suddenly discovered that there was still a black pearl lying on the ground quietly.

“Huh? What’s this? It looks like…”

An Lin recalled the shadow that had burst out before. It was because of this shadow that Huang Fuwen’s power was able to increase rapidly. That was probably a soul, right?

He picked up the pearl and studied it carefully. He discovered that it was just an ordinary pearl.

M-hm, it was ordinary on the surface. However, this didn’t mean that it was genuinely an ordinary pearl.

A white glow flashed across An Lin’s eyes.

Divine Inspection Technique!

[Soul Holding Pearl: One can deposit their divine sense into this pearl. It is equivalent to having a physical body. However, one must continually inject energy into it to maintain proper functionality.]

Provide energy?

Is that how it is?

An Lin injected some vital energy into the black pearl.

The pearl shone brilliantly, and an old man suddenly burst out and pounced toward An Lin.

“I’m going to take revenge for my disciple! Die!”

The projection of the white-haired elder released a powerful divine sense as he leaped toward An Lin.

Although his divine sense was already extremely feeble, the crushing might that he released was still particularly terrifying. One could imagine just how powerful the elder was when he still possessed a body.

Perhaps ordinary cultivators of the Return to Void Stage would still be afraid of the current him.

However, he had come across An Lin, a prodigy who possessed an extraordinarily powerful divine sense…

Splat!

The white-haired elder was slapped onto the ground by the power of An Lin’s divine sense.

“If it weren’t for the fact that my body was destroyed, how would you be able to act so haughtily in front of me…”

There was a look of fury and humiliation on the white-haired elder’s face.

“Are you done speaking? Goodbye then!”

An Lin stamped his foot down!

“No!!! If you spare me, I’ll—”

Bam!

The earth tremored violently.

Before the white-haired elder could even finish speaking, his divine sense had already been obliterated by An Lin’s foot.

“You’ve killed so many members of my Four Nine Immortal Sect,” An Lin said emotionlessly. “How can I spare you?”

An Lin was completely uninterested in what the old man had to offer. Because… that old man had to die!
