I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

An Lin’s sea of vital energy surged as a flash of golden lightning shattered the void.

His expression changed drastically, and a nauseous feeling overcame him.

“Brother, is something wrong?” The Golden Void Lightning Spirit—or the Heavenly Lightning God—became extremely anxious upon seeing An Lin’s pained expression.

“C-come over here for a moment. Check to see if there’s anything in my mouth…” An Lin scrunched his face in agony and gestured for the Heavenly Lightning God to come over.

The Heavenly Lightning God widened its eyes in curiosity as it hurriedly walked over. A golden symbol flashed in one of its hands, and it seemed as though he wanted to see through An Lin’s body.

“Strange… I sealed your powers away, yet they appear to be recovering…” The Heavenly Lightning God’s face was full of curiosity as it poked its head toward An Lin’s mouth.

An Lin nodded emphatically. “That’s right. It’s so strange… Barf!”

A ball of golden light suddenly shot out from An Lin’s mouth. Its speed was insanely quick, and the Heavenly Lightning God—who was very near An Lin’s mouth—had no time to dodge. The ball of golden light struck its face front on.

Upon closer inspection, that ball of golden light was actually a golden baby who was dressed in a red t-shirt and red shorts. He opened his mouth wider than his body and swallowed the Heavenly Lightning God just like that!

“Roar! Release me at once!”

As if the heavens were roaring in fury, arcs of deafening lightning boomed through the skies.

A pained expression appeared on the golden baby’s face as his belly expanded continuously.

“An Kirin!” An Lin immediately mustered all his powers and directed it toward the golden baby. In fact, even the vermilion bird in his sea of vital energy spat out bursts of holy flames. These bursts of holy flames penetrated through his sea of vital energy and landed on An Kirin’s body, helping him refine the Heavenly Lightning God, which had been swallowed into his stomach!

An Lin was immensely surprised by An Kirin’s actions. A while ago, An Kirin—who resided within his sea of vital energy—continually transmitted his desire to eat the Golden Void Lightning. In fact, it was also An Kirin’s strong desire to eat that had forcibly freed An Lin’s suppressed powers.

To his surprise, An Kirin could even shatter the Heavenly Lightning God’s sealing powers. With this in mind, An Lin decided to take a gamble and trick the Heavenly Lightning God into nearing him. He wanted to let An Kirin swallow him!

And now, An Kirin had truly swallowed the Heavenly Lightning God in one gigantic gulp!

An Lin was ecstatic about this, but at the same time, he was also extremely worried. An Kirin, you can do it! he cheered in his mind. You definitely can’t lose to the Heavenly Lightning God!

“Brother Lightning, what’s wrong? An Kirin, hurry up and release Brother Lightning!” An Lin wore a furious expression as he scolded the golden baby. Although he said this, his eyes were full of encouragement.

Although he badly wanted the Heavenly Lightning God to die, he still had to plan a path of retreat in case their attempt failed.

In the unfortunate case that An Kirin failed, he would still be able to get along with the Heavenly Lightning God as a brother.

“Release me!” the Heavenly Lightning God roared. “Who on earth are you? Why are you able to suppress my powers?” It struggled furiously inside An Kirin’s body.

An Kirin was unmoved by the Heavenly Lightning God’s struggles. He sat cross-legged on the ground while Golden Void Lightning bloomed under him like a blossoming lotus. His body was as dazzling as the sun, and he tried his best to digest the Heavenly Lightning God in his body.

It wasn’t only the Heavenly Lightning God that was unable to understand An Kirin. Even An Lin was unable to comprehend what was going on with An Kirin.

What on earth is An Kirin? Why is he able to suppress the Heavenly Lightning God’s powers?

One had to realize, the Heavenly Lightning God represented the Heavenly Dao Power! That was the paramount heavenly lightning power! Why was An Kirin able to restrain it?

Could it be that there’s something that transcends above the heavens in this world?

While An Lin was mulling over this, the golden light beaming from An Kirin’s body was already verging on shattering the entire space and ascending through the void!

An Lin was astonished. He could feel a supreme power emanating from An Kirin’s body, and it felt as though he was the ruler of heaven and earth. It was as if all matter had to bow down before him!

The Heavenly Lightning God’s resistance became weaker and weaker, and it was already too weak to scream. It was like a god who was sliding down into the abyss; one who was destined to vanish within a boundless stretch of darkness.

An Lin could tell that An Kirin’s golden body had already taken on a fully material form. A supreme aura emanated from his body, and a crackling lightning halo appeared above his head.

That was a divine halo that represented the Heavenly Lightning God’s power!

There was a majestic expression on An Kirin’s face as he opened his profound eyes. He opened his mouth and started speaking with a heavenly might. “Ooh-ooh ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh…”

An Lin shuddered upon hearing this. It was as if the voice of the heavens was booming next to his ears.

Although he couldn’t understand it, he felt that it sounded extremely impressive!

Fifteen minutes later.

The struggle within An Kirin’s body vanished completely.

“Heh, heaven and earth are indifferent, and they view all creatures as useless fodder. Heavenly Lightning God, perhaps the lives of ten thousand humans are worthless in your eyes.

“However, if one slaughters humans indiscriminately, I’ll destroy them even if they represent the heavens! This fate of yours is to atone for the sins that you committed!”

An Lin spoke in a firm voice as he stared at where the Heavenly Lightning God had vanished.

At this moment, a chime suddenly sounded from the system in his mind.

“Detected that host has already swallowed the heavenly lightning power. Now acquiring cultivation techniques for stage-four Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, stage-five Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, stage-six Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, stage-seven Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, stage-eight Thunder Essence Cultivation Method, stage-nine Thunder Essence Cultivation Method…”

An Lin was dumbfounded upon seeing this lengthy notification.

Holy f*ck! What just happened?!

Is the system about to explode? I’m receiving that many cultivation techniques at once?

Before he could even react, a boundless stream of lightning element true intent started flooding into his mind like a raging torrent. It felt like his mind was being torn apart.

“Ahhh! I’m going to die! I’m going to die! I’m going to die…”

An Lin gripped his head and started howling in agony. It wasn’t his system that was about to explode; it was his own head that was about to explode!

An Kirin remained seated on the Golden Void Lightning lotus, and he cocked his head in confusion as he gazed at the suffering An Lin. He appeared especially pure and innocent.

…

Tai Chu Continent.

The United University of Cultivation.

The tribulation clouds in the sky stretched for as far as the eye could see. They blotted out heaven and earth, and the muffled rumbles of thunder and lightning reverberated through the sky.

There was already no one left on Pan Long Mountain. However, the tribulation clouds in the sky still didn’t vanish. The clouds swarmed about like dark whirlpools, and the scene was much like that of an apocalypse.

The spectating teachers and students were all extremely anxious.

“Senior An Lin has entered that place for such a long time. Is he really going to be fine?”

“Didn’t you hear Senior Xiaolan? The tribulation clouds haven’t disappeared yet, so it means that he’s still undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. He’s definitely undergoing the tribulation in some realm that we can’t see!”

“God An is invincible! He’ll definitely be safe and sound!”

Compared to the students’ optimism, the immortals of the Heavenly Court appeared much more pessimistic.

“The tribulation clouds in the sky appear to be getting weaker and weaker.”

“That Golden Void Lightning that contains the supreme might of the heavens also appears to be decreasing in number.”

“Is the Heavenly Tribulation vanishing? The tribulation has ended, yet An Lin still hasn’t reappeared. Could it be that An Lin’s… already dead?”

“Sigh… The more supremely talented one is, the more the heavens envy them, thus leading to their death…”

The immortals sighed in pity as they gazed at the vanishing tribulation clouds. The atmosphere was permeated with disappointment, sorrow, grief… If An Lin had truly died, then this would definitely be a huge loss for the Heavenly Court.

Xu Xiaolan pursed her lips as she stood atop some mountain. There was a look of stubbornness on her face as she gazed at the core region of the lightning tribulation. “That’s not true. No matter what difficulties he comes across, An Lin can deal with them all. He’s not even afraid of the heavens… How can he lose to a mere lightning tribulation?”
