I Might Be A Fake Cultivator
chapter-1623

The cave was very big and very deep. An Lin and the others traveled all the way down, where the surrounding environment became dimmer and darker.

“There are so many lavish palaces out there, why would it choose to live in this dark and dank cave?” An Lin grumbled.

Xu Xiaolan replied with a smile, “The Divine Bat Emperor is a bat, so it must be used to hanging itself upside down in caves. It probably prefers a home like this rather than one of the lavish palaces outside.”

Her voice had only just fallen when countless red specks of light suddenly flashed past. They were like red candlelights burning in the darkness.

“Careful now. Those are Lantern Bats, and they have very special senses. They don’t use their five senses or their divine sense. Instead, they detect things based on the traces of karma left by all things in this world…” Xu Xiaolan cautioned in a quiet voice.

An Lin nodded. He knew what she meant.

For example, if the three of them accidentally dispersed the air particles in the cave as they moved, the Lantern Bats wouldn’t be able to see them, but they would be able to detect the changes in the trajectory of the air particles, thereby alerting them to the fact that something was wrong.

The Heaven Crushing Sect’s Void Body Mantra was bad*ss, but it couldn’t wipe away karma traces!

At this moment, Tina’s divine techniques really shone. She was able to take the projections of the original karma trajectories and throw those at the Lantern Bats, thereby preventing them from detecting the three of them.

All of the Lantern Bats stood on guard with rapt attention, but the trio swaggered past them without drawing any reaction.

An Lin and the others continued further down into the cave. The environment that should have been very dark was becoming increasingly brighter due to the strange glowing organisms on the rock faces.

Soon, they had reached the floor of the cave, and it was like a small plaza here. There were five caves around them, all of which most likely led to different places.

At this moment, a few seductive female bats strutted out from one of the caves, chatting amicably with one another.

“The Emperor hasn’t visited the Spring Fragrance Cave for a long time…”

“What, are you feeling lonely, Sister?”

All of the other female bats burst into laughter.

“I’m just afraid. The Emperor has been pent up for so long, I’m afraid that our bodies won’t be able to handle it when it finally comes to visit us…”

“I’m getting a little scared as well, now that you mention it…”

“Its soundwave oral techniques are the epitome of pain and pleasure.”

“And that bat rod strike! Oh, it’s so stimulating! Only Big Sister Gang Ying can handle that…”

The female bats talked dirty with one another.

Xu Xiaolan and An Lin were retching, but they had no choice but to listen.

After all, they had to gather all of the information they could about their enemy.

“Should we go and visit the emperor in the Heaven and Earth Cave?” one of the female bats suggested.

“No way! The emperor is meeting an important guest in the Heaven and Earth Cave; we can’t go disrupt it now!” the largest female bat among them said with a stern expression.

This female bat appeared to be the most authoritative of the bunch as none of the other female bats dared to say anything aside from nodding in agreement.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Tina had received a vital piece of information.

The Divine Bat Emperor was at the Heaven and Earth Cave!

It just so happened that there were characters inscribed above the caves, and An Lin and the others immediately entered the one that had Heaven and Earth Cave inscribed above it.

After that, they faced all sorts of booby traps and formations.

An Lin and the others managed to take care of all of them easily before quickly arriving at the end of the cave.

There was a tightly shut crimson gate here, preventing anyone from being able to see what was happening inside.

“What do we do now? This gate restricts all sound as well,” Xu Xiaolan asked.

A white light flashed past An Lin’s eyes as he unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique before flicking a finger through the air, upon which an opening appeared in the spell formation before them. “No problem. After bypassing this spell formation, I’ve got an Earth Manipulation Technique that can get us inside!”

The Earth Manipulation Technique was the spell technique he attained after reaching the sixth stage on his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill. It was an extremely versatile spell technique that also resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so it would leave no traces behind!

An Lin led Xu Xiaolan and Tina into the ground, upon which they traveled underground, passing the crimson gate, before poking their heads out from the ground after entering a secretive space.

This was an extremely well-lit space.

The Divine Bat Emperor had transformed into a miniature bat only about ten feet tall.

It was currently standing together with a humanoid creature whose body was as pristine white as jade.

This creature was completely nude, and there were all manners of mythological beast diagrams carved all over its body, as well as a pair of sharp, crimson bone wings growing on its back.

They turned toward a massive, metal cage, within which a hundred nude humans were being held captive alongside a bat that was about the size of a human with sharp fangs, inky-black fur, and crimson eyes.

The bat hissed before rushing toward one of the humans and plunging its fangs into the human’s neck, upon which a peculiar power was injected into the human’s body.

The human wailed with anguish, and their eyes turned crimson as their body grew black fur. Not only that, but their bones also began to crackle and pop as a pair of bat wings began to spout.

In less than a minute, the human had completely transformed into a black bat.

“Hiss…”

It turned and pounced toward another human with a cruel expression on its face!

All of the humans within the cage began to scream.

The two bats pounced on two humans, turning both of them into black bats as well. Four became eight, eight became sixteen, sixteen became thirty-two…

Before long, all of the humans in the cage had been transformed into black bats with crimson eyes.

The Divine Bat Emperor was clearly very elated. “The final experiment has been completed! This is the most perfect batch yet!”

The humanoid figure beside it nodded. “The speed of conversion is very fast, and the rate of conversion is a hundred percent. Their powers are equivalent to a cultivator at second-stage Dao Body, which is enough… Once they’re released into the Kingdom of the Nine States, a massive epidemic will take place, and these Blood Ghost Bats will become the ultimate invasive species!”

“Hahaha… The entire human race in the Kingdom of the Nine States might fall because of this. After we convert all of the mortals, who will continue to fight for them? There will be no future for the human race, and they will be wiped out!” The Divine Bat Emperor was very excited as it said, “Perhaps the Heavenly Gods will even reward us with new powers…”

The white humanoid creature also smiled. “Let’s not think about that for now. We should focus on bringing about the fall of the human race and convince the two paramount Heavenly Gods to change their minds and spare the other living beings on the continent. Let’s go release these Blood Ghost Bats into the Kingdom of the Nine States!”

The Divine Bat Emperor bowed respectfully. “As you wish, Heavenly Venerate Yu Qiong.”
