I Might Be A Fake Cultivator
chapter-254

The power contained within the bolt of golden-tinged purple lightning was immense. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated through the Narwhal Dragon’s body. The destructive lightning wreaked havoc inside its body, ripping apart every inch of its scales.

“Howl…!” The Narwhal Dragon’s anguished wail echoed through the skies.

Its gigantic body crashed into the earth and rocked the floating boulder.

Blood seeped from the corner of its mouth, and there was a look of terror etched across its face as it looked toward the male slowly walking toward it. Even now, the Narwhal Dragon still couldn’t believe that it was defeated by a cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage.

It was already beyond belief that An Lin could identify the flaws of all its attacks. The fact that he could actually manipulate the supreme purple lightning was even more unfathomable. What kind of bloody freak was he?! The Narwhal Dragon was in disbelief and utter confusion…

“That’s right, you should be feeling shocked right now. That’s what the Demon King of Arrogance felt…” An Lin walked up to the Narwhal Dragon. Looking at its head which was dozens of times bigger than him, he asked, “Next up, I’m going to absorb your energy essence. Do you have any last words?”

Narwhal Dragon: “…”

“Why were you able to manipulate the divine lightning?”

Up till now, it still hadn’t figured out why it had lost. Now, it was finally able to speak out the question in its mind.

That was right! Even if it died, it had to know how it died!

An Lin had a calm and collected expression. “Because I’m the Lord of Lightning! I’m the ruler of all lightning!”

The Narwhal Dragon’s chest tightened, and it spat out another mouthful of blood.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” An Lin asked once again.

The Narwhal Dragon shook its head. “There’s nothing in this world that I’m fondly attached to. All I’ve been waiting for is someone who could defeat me. It’s just that I didn’t expect for this person to be such a stupid fool…”

An Lin: “…”

He didn’t say anymore and firmly placed his hand onto the Narwhal Dragon’s gigantic body.

As a white glow pulsed, the Narwhal Dragon’s energy essence started surging into his body.

He was absorbing this energy essence because of a water element technique that had appeared in the system.

Stage One Divine Liquid Creation Technique—Condition: Absorb all the energy essence from a Soul Formation Stage Narwhal Dragon.

One year after receiving this mission, he finally had the chance to complete it. He sighed emotionally.

Seeing An Lin absorb weird things again, Xu Xiaolan, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou couldn’t help but feel anxious. They were fearful that he would go crazy again like last time.

In no time, the Narwhal Dragon’s energy essence was all drained by An Lin. Its body flashed with a blue glow as it slowly vanished. All that remained was a bead which was surrounded by crackling lightning. This bead hovered in mid-air and emitted bursts of energy waves.

After receiving the Divine Liquid Creation Technique, An Lin’s aura completely changed. A rich life force flourished inside his body.

He tapped his finger at the void, and countless beads of water suddenly materialized in mid-air. These droplets of water gathered together and eventually condensed into the shape of a human.

As a brilliant blue light shone, another An Lin appeared.

Xu Xiaolan, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou all widened their eyes in surprise as they looked at the two An Lins before them.

These two An Lins were exactly the same—their appearance, manner, aura… Even though Xu Xiaolan and the others were standing right in front of them, they still couldn’t tell these two An Lins apart!

Seeing their stupefied expressions, one of the An Lins started howling with laughter. “This is my new technique, Water Clone Technique! How is it? Are you all in awe?”

Xu Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise and a glimmer appeared in her beautiful eyes. “Heavens! You’ve even mastered such a rare and exotic immortal spell? Normally, only supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage are able to learn this kind of cloning technique!”

An Lin wore a smug expression as he leaned against Da Bai’s body. “This is only stage one of the techniques, no less. If I’m able to master the higher stages of this technique in the future, then not only will the clone’s exterior appearance be identical to mine, it might even possess the same combat capability as me! Now, that would be freakin’ badass!”

As he said this, a look of yearning appeared on his face.

Da Bai, Xiao Chou, and Xu Xiaolan all looked at him in envy.

Then, he turned into a pile of water and drenched Da Bai’s body wet.

Da Bai: “…”

“Hahahahaha… Didn’t expect that, did you? This is the real me!” The An Lin who had remained silent this entire time suddenly burst into laughter. His mischievous expression was as if he had succeeded in a prank.

“If you keep doing this, you’ll lose this supreme mount, woof!”

Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes at the hysterically laughing An Lin. However, she also heaved a sigh of relief. This was because An Lin looked normal at this moment and didn’t suddenly go crazy like what he did after absorbing the fire essence energy.

An Lin turned his attention to the Black Lightning Dragon Ball which was hovering in mid-air. He grabbed this dragon ball and felt the energy which was coursing inside. This was an extremely pure lightning essence energy.

However, the system didn’t provide any information about this dragon ball.

He pondered for a moment, then glanced at Da Bai, Xiao Chou, and Xu Xiaolan. “Anyone interested in this dragon ball?” he asked.

This Black Lightning Dragon Ball was different from conventional weapons. It was a unique type of energy-carrying medium. An Lin didn’t know how to utilize its powers, thus he wanted to see if anyone else wanted this dragon ball.

Da Bai shook his head. “I’m naturally in discord with the power of lightning. After all, I don’t like to flex.”

Xiao Chou also wasn’t interested. “I’ve never practiced the way of lightning before. It’s useless even if you give it to me.”

Xu Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, walked toward An Lin. She appeared deep in thought as she gazed intently at the Black Lightning Dragon Ball.

“How about you give this dragon ball to me then,” she suddenly said after a moment of silence. “This dragon ball gives me a very familiar feeling…”

An Lin was slightly dazed. He couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you interested in playing with fire? Why are you suddenly getting a familiar feeling from lightning?”

Xu Xiaolan was also unsure about this. She shook her head and said, “I just feel like this dragon ball has some sort of connection with me. Moreover, the lightning essence contained within this dragon ball also gives me a familiar and intimate feeling.”

An Lin shrugged and handed the Black Lightning Dragon Ball to Xu Xiaolan.

He didn’t understand her mysterious and abstruse words. However, since Xu Xiaolan liked this dragon ball, he gave it to her.

They recovered for a while on the floating boulder, then continued on to the next palace.

In all honesty, they were feeling under quite a lot of pressure as they stood before the Palace of Earth.

“Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow” were the last four palaces in the Winter Dragon Tomb. At the same time, these four palaces were also the most difficult to defeat. At least, going by the difficulty that they faced in the Palace of Yellow and Palace of Black, this was the case.

The red-haired male in the Palace of Yellow was of the Soul Formation Final Stage. An Lin only won by a narrow margin after using all his trump cards and working together with his beast pets.

The Narwhal Dragon in the Palace of Black was also of the Soul Formation Final Stage. However, due to the powers of its dragon bloodline, its strength was even more terrifying than that of the red-haired male. This was especially so after it revealed its true dragon form. Its haughty might and powerful lightning attack all demonstrated its devastating power.

It could be said that if An Lin didn’t have his cheat technique—the Lightning Manipulation Technique—then he would have been blown to bits by that golden-tinged purple lightning.

The tomb keeper of the Palace of Black was more powerful than the tomb keeper of the Palace of Yellow. Based on this trend, it was very likely that the Palace of Earth’s tomb keeper was going to be even more powerful than the Palace of Black’s Narwhal Dragon.

Could they really defeat such a fearsome opponent?

An Lin moistened his dry throat. Then, he released the fully charged Gundam One and Gundam Two to scout ahead.

Creak…

The door opened.
