I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird was plunged into a nightmare again!

She had initially thought that the probability of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence being sliced apart two times was infinitely close to zero. Now, however, it had occurred three times!

What on earth has the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence done wrong?

Why do you two keep slicing it apart?!

An Lin twisted his sword and attempted to slash at the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence again.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird—who had finally come to her senses—made a grabbing motion toward the void. After being summoned, the two halves of the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence immediately flew back to the female. The female opened her dainty mouth and quickly swallowed the shattered bead back into her body.

“Eurgh!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird started to vomit huge mouthfuls of blood.

After being shattered for the third time, the devastating backlash unleashed by the Vermilion Bird Heart Essence almost pushed the Great Empress Vermilion Bird past the brink of death.

An Lin definitely wouldn’t let such a rare opportunity slip by. He immediately raised his Evil-Slaying Sword and activated the full powers of his Five Elemental Body and heavenly god powers. Then, he lunged toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird and started to furiously hack his sword at her.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird was almost about to go crazy. She appeared extremely disheveled, and she continued to vomit large mouthfuls of blood as she defended against An Lin’s relentless attacks. Meanwhile, there was still a look of disbelief plastered on her face.

“How? How were you able to break free? What did you do to my Reincarnation Sun?” In a short instant, dozens of gashes had already appeared on the female’s soft and pale skin. However, she still continued to question An Lin in disbelief. The scenes before her had already far exceeded what she could comprehend.

“What did I do to the Reincarnation Sun? I ate it!” An Lin replied calmly.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s pupils contracted. “I-Impossible!”

An Lin’s sword intent swept through the surroundings as his Five Elements Power relentlessly hammered into the female before him. “Apart from saying ‘impossible’, what else can you say?”

“Eurgh!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird vomited another mouthful of blood toward An Lin.

An Lin swung his sword and slashed her blood apart. However, a dazzling crimson glow suddenly erupted from the splattered blood.

Boom!

The blood exploded, and a supreme Vermilion Bird origin power incinerated everything in the surroundings.

Each drop of the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s blood possessed a devastating energy that even super mighty beings of the Dao Integration Stage couldn’t defend against. Thus, one could imagine just how devastating the explosion caused by this mouthful of blood was.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird didn’t want to use these kinds of “vomiting blood” techniques to attack An Lin. After all, this was a technique that wounded her almost as much as it wounded her enemies. However, her blood was churning in rage right now, and she had also suffered a savage backlash from the shattered Vermilion Bird Heart Essence. Thus, it was inevitable that she vomited huge mouthfuls of blood. That being the case, she decided to get at least some value out of her otherwise wasted blood.

Rip!

A black sword projection tore through the Vermilion Bird origin power.

An Lin’s body was a little charred as he emerged from the cloud of exploding blood. However, he still continued to slash his sword toward the Great Empress Vermilion Bird.

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s face twitched, and a rare thought of retreat flashed through her mind.

She had been wounded time and time again, and her confidence in winning this battle had already slowly withered away.

Xu Xiaolan had integrated two dao, and she had also become a guardian deity of the Azure Dragon Tribe. This alone was already beyond her comprehension.

Now, An Lin had even managed to get rid of the Reincarnation Sun! This was even more so beyond her realm of comprehension.

She had always thought that their accomplishments would be impossible to replicate. Yet time and time again, her Vermilion Bird Heart Essence was attacked and shattered. This infuriated her to the point of vomiting blood. Analyzing these events carefully, she realized that only supremely powerful individuals would be able to bring her so many unwanted surprises.

In other words, she had severely underestimated An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s abilities!

Right now, she was already in an extremely poor state. In fact, she couldn’t even utilize the power of her Vermilion Bird Heart Essence anymore. As proud as she was, she didn’t dare guarantee that no other mishaps would occur before she managed to thoroughly kill the two humans before her…

Should I retreat temporarily?

This thought finally appeared in the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s mind.

When it came to fleeing, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was definitely the fastest in the entire Realm of Stars. Indeed, she was even faster than the other three Holy Beasts. If she wanted to flee, then no one could stop her—apart from Pangu.

Am I truly going to flee?

The Great Empress Vermilion Bird felt extremely conflicted.

If she fled, then that would be equivalent to admitting defeat. Even if she came up with thousands of different reasons to explain herself, her action would still be viewed as a sign of fear and humiliation.

Her pride didn’t allow her to commit such an action!

“Universe Shattering Spears!” the Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly roared in fury.

The six towering holy flame spears flew out from the Immortal Vermilion Star.

Under the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s will, they rapidly shrunk and condensed, eventually becoming a million times smaller than their initial size of ten million feet. With both their energy and might extremely compressed, each of the six spears now possessed an incredibly condensed power. In fact, even the surrounding void had transformed into a collapsed vortex of destruction that looked like it wanted to destroy the entire world.

“Go!” The Great Empress Vermilion Bird quickly retreated as she waved a hand. Then, bringing with them a might that was capable of shredding apart the universe, the six holy flame spears viciously pierced toward the nearby An Lin.

An Lin furiously slashed at one of the nearing spears.

Boom!

An Lin felt a might so tremendous that even his heart started to palpitate in apprehension.

What he struck wasn’t a spear. Rather, it was a super-divine tool item that could easily tear through the world.

An Lin’s hands were split open, and he almost lost the grip of his sword. At the same time, he was sent stumbling back by the gigantic force of the collision. Moreover, the origin holy flame that was contained within the spear climbed up his Evil-Slaying Sword and eventually spread over his entire body. Then, it started to rapidly burn at his body.

“Ahhh!” The searing pain caused An Lin to howl in agony.

He had to admit, the spears before him were extremely terrifying. They possessed the ability to easily penetrate through and wound him.

At this moment, the remaining five spears were already streaking toward his body!

As An Lin observed the piercing might of the spears and experienced the blistering pain caused by their flames, an indescribable sense of fury welled up in his heart.

Was Xu Xiaolan run through and tortured by these six fearsome spears?

When he had first arrived here, he had seen the Azure Dragon being penetrated by these six holy flame spears. He had seen Xu Xiaolan howl in anguish as she was nailed into the Immortal Vermilion Star. He had also seen her being burned and tormented by the six holy flames.

Now that he was experiencing the might of the spear himself, his fury became even greater.

At this moment, he saw the Great Empress Vermilion Bird suddenly flap her wings. Then, to his surprise, she transformed into a streak of red light and fled toward the distance at an extremely quick speed! An Lin’s expression changed drastically.

The Vermilion Bird is actually trying to flee?

As of today, they had already become great enemies. If the Great Empress Vermilion Bird successfully escaped, then she would definitely become a massive threat to them once she healed and recovered her powers.

I can’t let her escape!

No matter the cost, I definitely can’t let her flee!

Right now, these were the only thoughts running through An Lin’s mind.

Meanwhile, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird was indeed fleeing. Her intense desire to live had eventually overcome her pride as a Holy Beast. Thus, she had chosen to perform a tactical retreat.

However, she had already made a promise to herself. When she came across these two humans again, she would definitely do everything within her abilities to exact revenge on them. She would use any means necessary, even underhanded means!

In fact, she was even willing to pay a huge price and ask the remaining three Holy Beasts for help! She would capture those two humans, then subject them to an infinite amount of torture. Only by doing so would she be able to cleanse herself of the humiliation that she had suffered today!

As she was thinking this, the Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s feathers suddenly stood on end. A tremendous sense of danger had enveloped her entire body.

She was being observed by something extremely terrifying!
