I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Ling Xiangle wielded a Seven Star Sword and slashed down toward An Lin.

The sword was imbued with the power of seven stars and shone with a brilliant light. It streaked through the air like a purple flash and slashed down with the power to destroy everything in its wake.

In the face of this mighty sword projection, An Lin raised his sword in front of him with a calm expression.

Boom!

The sword projection exploded in a purple streak of a hundred feet in length, slicing off half the tower as it went.

An Lin was knocked back several steps as his blood churned within his body, and he silently estimated the power behind that strike.

Ling Xiangle’s slash was comparable to the full-power strike of a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator.

It looked like he had slightly underestimated the power of Battle Sages.

Whoosh!

Su Qianyun also sprang into action. Her light blue Moonlight Disc swept through the air and instantly appeared in front of the Grand Elder.

Ye Chongshan retreated a half step, and the string of red crimson beads around his neck suddenly dispersed.

Ninety-nine beads hung in mid-air and constructed a defensive formation, enveloping Ye Chongshan’s body while exuding a mystical power.

The Moonlight Disc collided with the spell formation and an ear-splitting screech rang out, but it was unable to break through. Su Qianyun’s expression darkened as she increased the power behind her Moonlight Disc.

The Moonlight Disc began to turn a deeper shade of blue and cracks began to appear on the crimson defensive formation.

Ye Chongshan’s expression shifted drastically as he clapped his hands together and roared, “Divine beads, return!”

The crimson beads quickly revolved backward and began to emit flames before forming a flaming phoenix which pounced toward Su Qianyun.

Boom!

Flames exploded outwards and incinerated everything around them to dust.

The majestic main tower was instantly reduced to rubble by the flaming phoenix.

An Lin looked with a concerned gaze into the sea of flames nearby to find that Su Qianyun had been protected by her Moonlight Disc and leaped into the air above the sea of flames. Her hair fluttered in the wind in a slightly disheveled display, but she didn’t appear to have sustained any substantial injuries.

An Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

“Do you have the time to worry about others?!”

Ling Xiangle suddenly said.

An extremely powerful sword projection instantly descended upon An Lin.

Just the residual power from the slash was enough to cause the mountain below them to crumble.

The Zhai Xing Sect disciples looked up at the earth-shattering battle taking place above them and some of them ran for their lives while others stared in amazement.

Ling Xiangle’s sword intent was imbued with boundless power.

An Lin was putting up a resistance, but he was firmly on the back foot.

Ling Xiangle’s expression had become extremely grave at this point of the battle. “What the hell? You’re not using Battle Qi! Just who are you people?!”

“Dead people shouldn’t talk so much.” An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white as streams of white wind began to revolve around his Evil-Slaying Sword. He moved as fast as the wind and a silent white slash appeared in the air.

“First technique, Wind Sword!”

He already had a rough gauge on a Battle Sage’s power level so he didn’t hold back any longer.

Ling Xiangle instantly felt a terrifying sense of imminent death.

He immediately chewed down on the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.

“Blood Star Slash!”

The Seven Star Sword was enhanced by the power of his blood essence, and the purple light around it expanded drastically before colliding with An Lin’s Wind Sword technique.

Boom!

Two extremely powerful auras collided and the sword intent reduced the ground in a hundred feet radius around them to dust. Ling Xiangle and An Lin were both knocked back by the ferocious explosion.

Ling Xiangle looked at An Lin with fear lingering in his heart. If he didn’t use his most powerful technique, he probably would’ve really died just then. His eyelids then began to twitch as he saw streams of white wind began to revolve around An Lin’s sword again.

“First technique, Wind Sword!”

Ling Xiangle swore to himself internally and bit down on the tip of his tongue again to produce another mouthful of blood essence. “Blood Star Slash!”

The purple aura around the Seven Star Sword expanded drastically again before colliding with the Wind Sword technique.

Boom!

Both of them were knocked back once again and Ling Xiangle almost fainted from blood essence deprivation.

White streams of wind began to revolve around An Lin’s sword again.

“First technique, Wind Sword!”

Darkness flashed before Ling Xiangle’s eyes as he bit down on his tongue again and spat forth another mouthful of blood. “Blood Star Slash!”

However…

He suddenly discovered he had no blood essence left in his tongue and was thus unable to enhance his Seven Star Sword!

An expression of shock appeared on his face as endless remorse and fear welled up in his heart. “No!”

Ling Xiangle tried to raise his sword to combat An Lin, but he found that his speed and power was no match for An Lin’s technique.

Splat!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Ling Xiangle fell dead to the ground with an expression of shock and horror still on his face.

The powerful Battle Sage and Sect Leader of the Zhai Xing Sect, Ling Xiangle thus died from blood essence deprivation in the tongue.

Ye Chongshan had also been forced into dire straits by Su Qianyun.

Her Moonlight Disc allowed her to attack and defend simultaneously, and Ye Chongshan could only continuously stumble back in retreat. A determined expression appeared on his face after witnessing Ling Xiangle’s death.

“Demonic Star Flame!”

Ye Chongshan roared and stamped down heavily into the ground. A burst of powerful Battle Qi traveled through the mountain and into the core of the mountain below.

He had no other choice but to use the Demonic Star Flame. Even if he was to receive massive backlash, there were no other alternatives open to him.

Rumble…

The mountain began to tremble and quake.

Soon, a burst of purple flames broke through the mountain and erupted into the sky.

Boundless flames exploded forth, transforming the sky into a scorching sea of purple.

There were spots of white true flames within the sea of purple, giving it the appearance of stars in a purple sky.

An Lin looked up at the purple flames in the air with a grave expression. He could feel the extreme sense of danger emanating from those flames.

“Hahaha… The Demonic Star Flame is one of the four Divine Flames on the continent. It’s the biggest secret guarded by the Zhai Xing Sect, unbeknownst to even the Battle Gods. For people as powerful as you, it’s a fitting end to die to these flames!” Ye Chongshan laughed maniacally as his skin began to glow red as if he had been possessed.

“Ding Dong!”

Right at this moment, the system suddenly flashed in An Lin’s mind.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the system.

“Detected that host is in close proximity to Divine Flames, so assigning the following special mission.

“Absorb the four Divine Flames on the Zhan Qi Continent, the host may use the Wings of True Fire cultivation method to do so.

“Mission success: Receive stage two of the Wings of True Fire cultivation method.

“Mission failure: Endure scorching flames for three days.

“Note: Time limit for completion is one month, this mission cannot be rejected.”

An Lin’s expression faltered as he cursed the system internally.

F*ck, were the Divine Flames that cheap?!

Xiao Yan had already become the Flame God after obtaining all the Divine Flames, but I can only progress to the second stage on a cultivation method? ¹

What a load of bullsh*t!

Xiao Yan had a beautiful Medusa wife to cheer him on even if he failed in his attempt to obtain the Divine Flames. [2. Another reference to the book Xiao Yan was in, he had a beautiful Medusa wife in that book]

But he had to be scorched by flames for three days if he failed?

Just as An Lin was cursing the system, Ye Chongshan had already sprung into action.

“Burn to ashes under the power of my Demonic Star Flame!” Ye Chongshan waved his arms and the purple flames in the air began to surge. “Demonic Star Flames, engulf them!”

Boom!

The purple flames in the air began to transform into a flaming dragon with twin horns.

The air around the purple flaming dragon immediately began to shimmer and warp from the extremely high temperatures and all the plant life on the mountains were instantly reduced to ashes.

Su Qianyun looked up at the purple dragon in the air and gritted her teeth in preparation to spring into the air but a pair of hand locked firmly onto her shoulders.

“Allow me.” An Lin smiled lightly.

The purple flaming dragon opened its cavernous mouth and descended on the two of them with unstoppable force.

An Lin stamped down onto the ground and exploded upward like a bullet straight toward the purple flaming dragon.

“Hahaha… He really is a nutjob. Demonic Star Flame, burn him to a crisp!” Ye Chongshan chortled excitedly as An Lin flew upward to meet the purple flaming dragon.

A sense of joy from imminent vengeance spread throughout his body.

The power imbued within the Divine Flames were a threat even to Battle Gods. The man who was charging straight toward the flaming dragon would definitely be reduced to ashes!!

However, Ye Chongshan’s smile froze on his face in the next instant as he opened his eyes wide in shock.

“What…. what the f*ck is going on?” He stared up at the purple flaming dragon, and his body trembled as if he had seen a ghost.

Up in the air, the purple flaming dragon pounced on An Lin with its cavernous mouth wide open and was just about to engulf him when An Lin opened his mouth as well and engulfed the dragon instead…
