Chunibyo in Cultivation World

Staring at Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, Su Qianhe was utterly dumbfounded. At this moment, “incredible” was no longer enough to describe what he felt.

This fellow, Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, was on a completely different level from Yun Danzhi. Yun Danzhi might have possessed some tricks in the Union Realm, but Ancestor of Heavenly Blood was far beyond that.

He had once broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm for a period of time. Although he later fell back down, among all cultivators of the Union Realm throughout the entire cultivation world, he could still be ranked within the top ten.

Moreover, the Blood Fiend Sect he had founded often opposed the Sacred Land of Lingxu. Yet, despite that, even the Sacred Land of Lingxu could do nothing about him. He possessed the ability of Rebirth through Essence Blood — even if killed, he could revive elsewhere. He was a true old monster who had survived nearly ten thousand years in the cultivation world.

More importantly, Su Qianhe had once fought him personally. Yun Danzhi had been his defeated subordinate, yet he himself was once the defeated subordinate of Ancestor of Heavenly Blood.

Had Ancestor of Heavenly Blood been on the righteous path, he would have been one of the leaders of a Sacred Land.

But now, the way Ancestor of Heavenly Blood appeared so hollow clearly showed he had been refined into a demonic soul.

At this point, Su Qianhe no longer bothered to figure out what exactly had happened.

With Ancestor of Heavenly Blood’s strength, aside from the few Tribulation Transcendence ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, no one else could possibly have subdued him.

And as far as Su Qianhe remembered, those Tribulation Transcendence ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were still in seclusion!

In that case, there was only one “non-answer” answer left.

That was — those cultivators led by Yun Danzhi who came to kill Li Tianwei, and even Ancestor of Heavenly Blood himself, had all been subdued and refined by Li Tianwei into the Evil Soul Banner.

At this moment, Su Qianhe recalled the Sacred Land of Lingxu’s previous intelligence on Li Tianwei — that after emerging from the Forbidden Land of Taixu, he had been ambushed by three Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators, and he directly refined two of them on the spot.

So, it wasn’t impossible for this to happen again.

Only this time, the refinement had advanced from Spirit Transformation to the peak of Out-of-Body and Union Realm.

Thinking to this point, everything made sense. He suddenly realized that he had been wrong — terribly wrong.

”Head Li… Lord First Seat, I was wrong! This unworthy grandson of mine, you can handle as you wish. Your words are law itself!”

At this moment, Su Qianhe turned toward Li Tianwei, calling out with a plea in his voice.

By now, all his former pride was gone. Just as he had said earlier — power represented everything. Only when such power rested in the hands of the weak would those so-called strong ones feel fear.

Just as a Golden Core cultivator holding the power to rival those of the Union or Tribulation Realm would cause panic — they would instantly gain the right to speak as equals! Like robbing the gunner at his own game…

Unfortunately, Li Tianwei didn’t respond. He merely glanced at Ancestor of Heavenly Blood.

Feeling Li Tianwei’s gaze, Ancestor of Heavenly Blood’s heart went cold. The moment he thought of everything he had experienced within the Evil Soul Banner, he couldn’t stop himself from trembling.

Only now did he truly understand what “terror” meant.

Since he still retained his consciousness inside the Evil Soul Banner, he had heard of Li Tianwei’s recent deeds.

Through the mortals and lesser cultivators newly drawn into the banner, he had come to realize — Li Tianwei was no ordinary person. Everything he did was for justice — righteous, utterly righteous, so righteous it was almost excessive.

In the past, when Ancestor of Heavenly Blood met those of the righteous path, he couldn’t help but call them hypocrites.

They spoke in noble tones, yet the deeds they did behind the scenes were no different from those of demonic or evil cultivators.

Their greatest difference was only that demonic cultivators laid the cruelty of the cultivation world bare, while the righteous hid their bone-sucking, marrow-draining nature — treating mortals and low-level cultivators as expendable resources for their own cultivation.

Now these “righteous” cultivators, through such contradictions, had brainwashed generations of disciples — and finally, the poison had come full circle.

Though he had to suffer within the Evil Soul Banner, Ancestor of Heavenly Blood believed that in time, more of his old friends would join him inside.

Su Qianhe would be the first. Thinking so, Ancestor of Heavenly Blood felt oddly comforted.

”Brothers within the banner.”

Ancestor of Heavenly Blood couldn’t help but sigh softly, his hands never ceasing their movement.

In an instant, blood clouds swept across the sky, endless crimson shrouding all.

”No—no! I’m an Ancestor of the Sacred Land of Lingxu! By seniority, I’m your grandmaster’s senior brother!”

”We’re from the same Sacred Land of Lingxu!”

Seeing Ancestor of Heavenly Blood erupt with power, Su Qianhe panicked completely.

Yet his words didn’t stir even a ripple of emotion in Li Tianwei. Ancestor of Heavenly Blood had already moved, suppressing him outright.

Boom— the sky turned scarlet, layer upon layer of blood waves. In that moment, Su Qianhe’s power paled completely in comparison to that of Ancestor of Heavenly Blood.

With Yun Danzhi assisting at the side, facing such an overwhelming formation, Su Qianhe was no Li Tianwei.

No matter how he thought about it, he could never have imagined that Li Tianwei had subdued both Yun Danzhi and Ancestor of Heavenly Blood — and did so even when the two had joined forces!

”Remember to preserve his divine soul. I want him refined into the banner.”

”Though he is steeped in sin, he’s still an Ancestor of the Sacred Land of Lingxu. He must properly accumulate Merit in the future to cleanse his sins.”

As Su Qianhe gradually fell into disadvantage, Li Tianwei finally spoke.

His words reached Su Qianhe’s ears. Understanding the meaning behind them, Su Qianhe thought perhaps Li Tianwei would grant him rebirth. For a brief moment, he looked at Li Tianwei with gratitude.

Meanwhile, Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and Yun Danzhi, hearing those words, both twitched at the corners of their eyes — and looked toward Su Qianhe with pity.

Cleansing sins? Accumulating Merit? Within the Evil Soul Banner, there was only one thing — endless torment.

”Looks like the people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu will receive the same treatment as us.”

Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and Yun Danzhi exchanged glances, suddenly feeling much calmer.

With Li Tianwei’s command, Su Qianhe’s resistance weakened considerably.

Not long after, Su Qianhe was completely subdued.

Meanwhile, Su Changde still hadn’t processed what had happened. In his view, his ancestor was about to suppress Li Tianwei — when suddenly, his expression changed dramatically.

That supreme, invincible ancestor in his eyes had been subdued just like that by a few little souls within the Evil Soul Banner.

”That’s impossible! What’s going on?! This must be an illusion!”

Su Changde rubbed his eyes in despair.

”It’s your turn now.”

After finishing Su Qianhe, Li Tianwei turned toward Su Changde.

His outcome, however, was not the same as Su Qianhe’s. Li Tianwei wanted him to eternally endure the torment of destruction.

Li Tianwei seized him in one grasp.

”Go in. Let those mortals you so despise give you a proper taste of enjoyment!”

Li Tianwei flung him straight into the banner.

On the other side, Su Qianhe had already been dragged into the Evil Soul Banner by Ancestor of Heavenly Blood and the others.
