I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 536: Battle for the Golden Realm Essence Crystals

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The cylindrical mountain began to crumble as a golden pillar of light shot forth into the sky.

The golden light was imbued with immense power and the cylindrical mountain was reduced to powder from the fearsome blast.

The five hundred-feet tall statues basked in the golden light and not only were they not destroyed, but they also appeared to become more powerful. Extremely dazzling light burst forth from their eyes and their joints began to tremor as if they were doing some sort of robotic warm-up exercise.

The pillar of golden light slowly vanished and Realm Essence Crystals began to appear amid the debris that was once the cylindrical mountain!

An Lin’s eyes widened as he drew a sharp intake of breath before speaking in a trembling voice, “Twenty-one… there are twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals!”

There was only a cluster of twenty-one Realm Essence Crystals bunched together amid the debris, but all of them were golden! They were the highest-grade Realm Essence Crystals!

An Lin wasn’t the only one shocked upon seeing this, even Cassidy and Merlin were seemingly entranced by the brilliant golden light.

“My God… we’re going to be rich…” Merlin muttered to himself.

“Twenty-one drops of holy blood…” Cassidy licked her supple red lips with a scorching light in her eyes.

An Lin was already itching for action. “Go get it!”

Merlin brought out his banner before providing a voice of reason. “Don’t be rash. Risk and reward often come hand in hand. With such a valuable treasure there for the taking, those five jade statues are definitely not going to be easy to deal with. Let me test out their strength first…”

He unleashed a hundred thousand soul warriors from his banner as he spoke, all of which converged on the Realm Essence Crystals!

“Hehehe… All twenty-one milliliters of holy blood are going to be mine!”

“Merlin! You shameless bastard!” Cassidy was immediately enraged upon seeing the soul warriors that were targeting the Realm Essence Crystals as opposed to the jade statues.

However, right at this moment, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.

Boom!

One of the jade statues crashed to the ground, sending a golden shockwave, which instantly exploded forth in a radius of a kilometer, pulverizing the ground below and simultaneously knocking back all hundred thousand soul warriors at once.

“So powerful!” An Lin could detect that the boundless aura emanating from the jade statue’s body was comparable to that of a Return to Void Stage cultivator!

“Hmph! The problem is, Little Mai is too weak!” Cassidy was still resentful toward Merlin for trying to take all the golden Realm Essence Crystals for himself, and she sneered coldly at the sight of all his soul warriors being knocked back before charging toward the jade statue herself.

“Only Master An Lin can refer to me by that name!” Merlin immediately flared up in rage.

He began to inject his vital energy into his banner, which in turn glowed with a black light as the hundred thousand soul warriors established a formation to conjure up a projection of a blood demon over ten thousand feet in height.

However, the projection of the blood demon had only just been materialized when another two humanoid Jade Beasts transformed into streaks of golden light, which crashed down upon the massive blood demon with monstrous force.

Boom boom…

The devastating force of the collision immediately had the blood demon toppling over before falling to the ground.

After progressing to Return to Void Intermediate Stage, Cassidy was able to have a much easier time against her opponent. The humanoid Jade Beast engaged in battle with her had been forced firmly onto the back foot as it stumbled back in retreat against Cassidy’s fearsome crimson sword. Just as she was getting close to the golden Realm Essence Crystals, the remaining two Jade Beasts suddenly pounced toward her, and the tables were instantly flipped.

Cassidy was barely holding on against the three Jade Beasts, and Merlin was being ground into the dust by the remaining two Jade Beasts. There appeared to be no chance for victory.

But don’t forget, there was still An Lin!

An Lin spread open his Wings of Wind, and streams of wind began to revolve around his Evil-Slaying Sword. He abruptly threw himself toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals in the distance, creating a sonic boom and a streak of white in his wake.

“Hold them back for me!”

An Lin transmitted his voice to Cassidy and Merlin.

Cassidy let loose a delicate war cry as countless crimson sword projections created a net-like trapping formation that enveloped herself as well as the three humanoid Jade Beasts she was engaged in a battle with.

The giant blood demon under Merlin’s control also let loose an ear-splitting roar as its massive hands exploded to form two circular crimson nets that ensnared the remaining two humanoid Jade Beasts. The two nets wouldn’t be able to permanently trap the two Jade Beasts, but they would suffice as temporary traps.

An Lin drew closer and closer to the golden Realm Essence Crystals, and just when he thought they were his for the taking, an extreme sense of danger suddenly enveloped his entire body.

He immediately unleashed his Origin Energy of the Netherworld, and his aura increased explosively as he lashed out with his sword!

Boom!

A gargantuan ball of water exuding the power of annihilation collided with An Lin’s sword, causing heaven and earth to fall silent for an instant.

Black and blue energy then burst forth to create a shockwave that exploded outward for several kilometers in all directions.

“Puah…” An Lin was swept away by the overwhelming force of the shockwave, and his body flew through the air like a cannonball while blood spewed forth from his mouth.

“Oh? A mere Soul Formation Stage cultivator is able to take one of my attacks?” A shark monster approached from the distance atop a giant wave as it looked at An Lin with a hint of surprise on its face.

The shark monster was none other than Gu Luo!

“However, it still doesn’t change the fact that you’re just a Soul Formation Stage cultivator. All these Realm Essence Crystals are mine!” The shark monster chortled with glee as it flew toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals.

Right at this moment, an extremely thick bolt of white lightning fell from the sky before striking the shark monster on the head, instantly congealing the smile on its face!

“Howl!” A white dragon suddenly appeared from the clouds above.

The dragon was none other than Ao Mingyu in his winged dragon form, and his target was, of course, also the twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals.

The shark monster instantly flared up in rage while the black mist revolving around its left claw transformed into a ferocious shark that pounced toward the white dragon. “Ao Mingyu! You’re no match for me, so piss off! I might consider giving you five of these Realm Essence Crystals after I grab hold of them!”

The white dragon was completely undeterred, and white lightning exploded forth around his body as he swooped down toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals.

Boom!

The white dragon collided with the black mist shark, and the shark was instantly pulverized by the white lightning.

However, Gu Luo took advantage of this split second to appear right before Ao Mingyu, and two of them began to engage in an earth-shattering battle…

Even to Return to Void Stage mighty figures, the twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals presented a lethal temptation.

An Lin stood up from a massive crater in the ground before coughing up another mouthful of blood.

An attack from a cultivator at the pinnacle of Return to Void Initial Stage was far too devastating. Even with his embryonic body of the War God in conjunction with the Origin Energy of the Netherworld, he was still severely wounded by that one strike.

However, he wasn’t going to give up.

Those twenty-one golden Realm Essence Crystals had to be his!

Cassidy and Merlin had also abandoned their efforts in trapping the humanoid Jade Beasts. With Ao Mingyu and Gu Luo entering the fray, there were more pressing matters at hand to attend to.

The humanoid Jade Beasts detected the perilous situation the golden Realm Essence Crystals were in, and they immediately switched targets to pounce toward the white dragon and the shark monster.

A chaotic, earth-shattering battle erupted and the sound of the resulting clashes of energy shook heaven and earth. If a normal person were to even approach the battle from a kilometer away, their body would instantly be torn to shreds by the monstrous shockwaves.

An Lin swallowed a pill as he got up from the ground. This was the Scorching Sun Pill, a fifth-grade immortal pill, the consumption of which would allow him to tap into all his latent potential for a short period of time!

Boom!

His aura was already comparable to a cultivator who was at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage after activating the Origin Energy of the Netherworld. With further enhancement from the Scorching Sun Pill, his aura began to climb toward an even higher level!
