I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Laden finally understood that Bryce wasn’t lying, and the spell formation had indeed been severed. As a result, the residual power of Emperor Tian Huang was unleashed, and it began to wreak havoc in his body!

“You…” Laden was just about to flare up in anger when a white longsword suddenly appeared before piercing through his chest. An overwhelming sealing power instantly spread through his entire body, sealing away his vast life force.

Laden realized in that instant that this was an extremely well-planned assassination with him as the target! The blood star appeared behind him as the entire heavens was stained crimson by the power of his divine dao, plunging the world into a crimson sea of despair.

He immediately made the snap decision to unleash his most powerful ability, even if it was at the cost of further damage to his dao foundation.

The power of the blood star exploded outward, pulverizing the ground within a radius of over a kilometer. Bryce was knocked flying into the air, and he threw up a mouthful of blood as his tree-bark skin shattered around his body.

A lithe and graceful figure suddenly flew back, leaving the Cursed Star Blood Sword protruding from Laden’s chest.

Laden was just about to pull out the longsword when a pitch-black bead suddenly appeared in the air above him while unleashing boundless spiritual power that engulfed him like a waterfall.

An overwhelming sealing power crashed down onto his body, and it felt as if the entire heaven and earth had fallen on his shoulder. Even his conscience was gradually being negatively affected by this power.

At that moment, the anguished wails of billions of dead souls permeated throughout Laden’s mind, forcing his body to involuntarily slow down.

This was the power of Merlin’s Deceased Spirit Bead! It was able to unleash extremely fearsome sealing power!

Laden finally managed to grab onto the hilt of the white longsword, only to find that it had fused with his flesh and could not be extricated in a short time.

He immediately gripped the air to materialize a peerlessly sharp Blood Star Sword to stab through the boundless darkness around him. He knew that he had to get out of this trapping formation as soon as possible!

The crimson sword pierced through the darkness, upon which an extremely high-pitched screeching erupted. The Blood Star Sword shattered from the force of the powerful impact, and cracks appeared in the darkness to allow faint rays of light to filter through.

Laden’s expression became quite grim upon seeing this. Not even his full-force strike was able to break through this trapping formation.

Just who was the person that was trying to kill him? A hint of fear welled up in his heart. His assailants were definitely not some ragtag team of assassins. Aside from the traitor, Bryce, he had no clue who else was playing a part in this assassination attempt.

Ring…

A crisp ringing erupted in the darkness as Laden unleashed another Blood Star Sword to strike at the cracks that had appeared in the darkness around him. However, right at this moment, an extremely monstrous power suddenly descended from the sky!

A gargantuan crimson fist broke through the darkness before crashing down with unparalleled force.

The devastating power of divine dao swept through the air.

This fist seemed to be imbued with boundless might, giving it the power to bring annihilation to heaven and earth.

More importantly, Laden could feel a powerful sense of bloodline oppression from the Blood Patriarch. In that moment, he felt as if he were facing the Blood Patriarch who had once reigned over the heavens.

This is the power of the Blood Patriarch…

Laden was dumbstruck. He finally knew who his assailants were!

Aside from the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures of the Blood Tribe, the Holy Disciples were able to wield the power of the Blood Patriarch.

The white longsword, the spiritual seal, the fist…

“Cassidy, Merlin, Tobias… I’ll kill you all!” The veins on Laden’s forehead began to pop with unadulterated rage.

The Blood Star Sword switched direction, and he poured forth all of his blood star divine dao power in the sword, which was flying toward the gargantuan fist!

He had no choice. He could only try and directly vanquish the attack through an attack of his own.

The flying sword and the fist collided, but there was no earth-shattering collision.

The Blood Star Sword only screeched for a split second before it was completely vanquished. The gargantuan fist continued in its descent, seemingly as if it had not even been blunted by Laden’s flying sword.

A terrifying sense of impending doom gripped Laden’s body, and he knew that he would die if he was to be struck by this fist!

He bit through the tip of his tongue and forced himself to activate a mystic technique in order to manifest his divine dao as a blood star, which appeared behind him.

Boom!

In that instant, the earth tremored and crumbled.

The seal of inky darkness around Laden was also instantly pulverized by the monstrous power imbued within the fist!

Devastating destructive power exploded outward for several dozen kilometers, pulverizing everything in its wake. The entire heaven and earth was stained crimson as the might of the Blood Patriarch descended.

At that moment, it was as if Armageddon had arrived.

After the crimson light dissipated, a massive hole with a radius of fifteen kilometers appeared before everyone’s eyes. All the mountains, rivers, forests, and everything else had disappeared within that range.

Tobias panted heavily as he stood in mid-air.

His clothes were in tatters, and blood flowed from his entire body. All this was clearly a result of the backlash from unleashing an excessively powerful spell technique.

“He should be dead after all that, right?” Merlin retracted his Deceased Spirit Bead, and his features were excessively pale.

A crimson streak flew through the air before settling by Cassidy’s side, and a slight smile appeared on her face. “Laden’s life force had been severed by the Cursed Star Blood Sword, and the power imbued within Tobias’ attack rivaled a strike from a Dao Integration Stage True God, so he has most likely been blasted into oblivion.”

“Let me scout the situation.” Bryce flew toward the center of the massive crater as countless roots sprouted from his feet before extending into the inky depths of the crater.

“Hmm… No aura detected, no energy detected, as for signs of life, signs of life…”

Bryce’s expression suddenly shifted as he flew back in retreat.

However, an extremely fearsome energy converged upon him in the blink of an eye. Over a hundred red specks of light carved lethal trajectories through the air before instantly reducing Bryce’s body to a piece of swiss cheese!

“Little Bu!” An Lin yelled with shock and horror.

Right at this moment, a crimson streak of light flew into the air from the bottom of the pit as it tried to flee into the distance.

Tina reacted very quickly, and her small and nimble hands flashed through the air as a massive white cube materialized in the air.

The crimson streak of light crashed into the walls of the white cube, triggering a series of resounding booms, but was unable to break through.

Everyone was dumbstruck as they caught sight of what the red streak of light truly looked like.

A soft, fair-skinned body, a tiny little penis, a set of tender features, and golden hair…

This was a nude little boy who appeared to be about four or five years of age!

“Gasp… who’s that?” An Lin gasped with incredulity. “How dare he commit such a blatant crime of indecent exposure like this?!”

Xu Xiaolan rolled his eyes. “Stop kidding around, An Lin. The boy may be small, but he’s a tree murderer!”

“The tree is not dead. Classmate Xuanyuan Cheng has already gone to save him, so the little boy is only an attempted tree murderer,” Su Qianyun said with a mellow voice and a slight smile on her face, which suggested that she was quite pleased with herself.

Sword Immortal Ling Xiao’s lips twitched. “I think all of you should stop kidding around and take things more seriously…”

Meanwhile, Xiao Ze, Merlin, Cassidy, and Tobias had already surrounded the little boy.

“Is that Laden?” Xiao Ze was astonished.

“This aura… and those features. There’s no doubt about it; this definitely is Laden!” Cassidy’s expression was a little grave.

“Why did Laden become like this?” Merlin was puzzled.

Tobias offered an explanation by saying, “Within our tribe’s secret tomes, there is a divine ability called the Return to Youth Technique. Users can sacrifice their divine dao to gain protection more powerful than the divine dao for a short period of time while also instantaneously healing all of the user’s injuries. However, an extremely heavy price must be paid to activate this divine ability, which involves a sharp decline in cultivation base as well as a reversion to infancy…”

“It looks like the symptoms he exhibits is quite similar to what you just described. No wonder he was able to survive that fist you unleashed.” Merlin heaved a sigh of relief.

“So that means Laden’s current strength at the pinnacle of Return to Void Initial Stage isn’t a facade?” Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up with a rare expression of excitement.

As his voice fell, everyone began to chuckle with a sinister expression.

Laden’s body trembled, and he pressed himself against the wall of the white cube in fear.
