I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

The darkness dissipated.

The light of the stars and the moon spilled down upon the earth again.

The Celestial Thearch stood proudly in the sky with his imperial robe in tatters. However, one of his sleeves was empty, and his sword-wielding right arm, as well as a small portion of his body, had been engulfed into nothingness.

The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army warriors’ hearts throbbed with pain upon seeing the Celestial Thearch in such a sorry state. The Celestial Thearch was the most powerful being on the battlefield. If something was to happen to him, then the tide of the entire battle could be turned.

As such, things were not looking good!

Everyone then turned their attention to Heavenly God Dong Long, to find that he appeared to be completely unscathed.

Could it be... that the Celestial Thearch lost?!

That wasn’t entirely impossible. After all, the former heavenly disciple candidate, the Dark Thunder Emperor, had been insta-killed by a Heavenly God with all nine divine halos activated. Thus, it would be quite normal if the Celestial Thearch was to fall to that sword strike...

With that in mind, everyone was struck by a sense of sorrow.

If the Celestial Thearch fell, who would be able to stop those Heavenly Gods?

However, before everyone had a chance to wallow in their grief, a crisp cracking sound suddenly reverberated throughout the entire battlefield.

Crack crack crack...

The divine halos around Heavenly God Dong Long’s body began to shatter one after the other before dissipating into specks of light.

Countless tiny cracks also surfaced all over his entire body, making him appear as if he were a porcelain statue that had been smashed before being glued back together.

“I... I lost?” Heavenly God Dong Long’s eyes widened in astonishment and disbelief as he stared at the disheveled man standing before him.

The Celestial Thearch slowly swallowed a regenerative divine pill before changing into a brand new imperial robe. Only after doing all that did he reply in a calm and confident voice, “You are very fortunate to have been able to die by my hands.”

Heavenly God Dong Long: “...”

He was furious and was just about to say something when the Celestial Thearch swept a sleeve through the air as if he were swatting away an annoying fly.

Heavenly God Dong Long’s body was already riddled with cracks when it suddenly dissipated into dust, as if it had received a heavy blow.

Everyone fell silent.

Almost all of the living beings were staring up at the almighty figure in the sky.

The state of the battle was transforming far too quickly, and they felt like they were sitting on an emotional rollercoaster. Just a second ago, they had thought that the Celestial Thearch was about to fall, but in the blink of an eye, Heavenly God Dong Long had been reduced to dust by a swat of his sleeve.

A Heavenly God had fallen just like that!

“Heavenly God Dong Long!” the Heavenly Space God roared with thunderous fury.

The worst situation had eventuated. One of the Heavenly Gods among their ranks had fallen, right when they thought that they had the clear upper hand.

The Heavenly Space God glowered at the Celestial Thearch. The divine pill’s powerful regenerative properties were already taking effect, and his severed arm had completely recovered within the span of a few seconds.

The Celestial Thearch turned his attention to the Heavenly Space God, upon which the latter’s heart shuddered involuntarily.

He thought back to the sword strike the Celestial Thearch had just unleashed, and an irrational sense of panic welled up in his heart.

Was that man a monster? How could he be so powerful when he was only at the Dao Integration Stage?!

The Celestial Thearch took a step toward the Heavenly Space God, and the Heavenly Space God felt as if that stride had trodden upon his heart. A faint smile appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s face. “Now then, it looks like no one can stop me from killing you.”

The Heavenly Space God wanted to run away.

No, it was only a tactical retreat.

However, right at that moment, a spinning turtle shell suddenly hurtled toward the Celestial Thearch, tearing through space like a bolt of golden lightning!

The Celestial Thearch raised his sword to block the attack, but a golden chain suddenly shot forth from a hole in the turtle shell. That chain bound itself around the blade of the sword, thereby preventing him from formulating a defense.

Bam!

An earth-shattering boom erupted alongside the sound of cracking bones.

The golden turtle shell rammed heavily into the Celestial Thearch’s chest, causing it to cave in as he doubled over.

“Pfff...” The Celestial Thearch’s eyes widened as blood gushed from his mouth, and he shot back like a cannonball.

Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan poked her head out of her shell, and a sharp light flashed through her dead fish eyes. “Illusionary Turtle Strike, Spin-Spin Attack!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The turtle shell began to rotate at an extremely fast rate again before hurtling toward the Celestial Thearch.

“Insolence!” the Celestial Thearch roared as he sliced through the golden chain with his sword. He then lashed out at the turtle shell and sent it flying, inflicting a crack upon its surface in the process. However, he was also forced to stumble back in retreat from the recoil force.

The numbness in his hand hadn’t even receded when the golden turtle shell doubled back and hurtled toward him from a different direction.

At the same time, that golden chain also shot forth like lightning.

“Again?!” The Celestial Thearch was furious. How dare she use the same attack against him twice? Was she looking down on him? He was mentally prepared and managed to sever the golden chain before it could reach him.

However, by that time, the turtle shell was already upon him...

The Celestial Thearch couldn’t use his sword, so he had to use his fist.

Bam!

Devastating shockwaves erupted forth.

The Celestial Thearch’s fist collided with the turtle shell, and he felt as if he had struck an indestructible fortress as he was sent flying once again.

The turtle shell refused to let him off the hook and continued to give chase.

Boom boom boom...

One earth-shattering clash after another took place overhead.

The Celestial Thearch was being forced back over and over again by the turtle shell, clearly indicating that he was being dominated by his opponent.

The Heavenly Space God was astonished. Since when did Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan become so powerful?

Wait!

The Heavenly Space God discovered that something was amiss.

Heavenly Goddess Wu Lan didn’t get stronger; the Celestial Thearch had grown weaker!

The power of the heavens and free-flowing energy under his control were nowhere near as plentiful as before!

That made sense, seeing as the Celestial Thearch had already unleashed that terrifying attack twice. How could anyone still maintain peak condition after letting loose such a fearsome assault? He was most likely only threatening to cut him down in order to scare him away!

Furthermore, his scheme had almost worked as the Heavenly Space God really did decide to flee! With that in mind, the Heavenly Space God’s heart was filled with shame...

“Celestial Thearch, I’m going to kill you!” the Heavenly Space God roared as he flashed through the air and joined in on the battle.

He arrived in front of the Celestial Thearch in a split second before gripping onto space and making a pulling motion. A spatial saber that resembled a bolt of jagged black lightning was pulled out of the spatial crack. The blade of the saber cut through all impediments before descending toward the Celestial Thearch’s chest.

“Dark Lightning Shadow Space!”

Whoosh!

The spatial saber tore open the Celestial Thearch’s robe, inflicting a ghastly wound upon him from which blood splattered forth.

“Do you really want to die?” The Celestial Thearch’s aura elevated explosively as he brought his sword down upon the Heavenly Space God.

The Heavenly Space God glared at the Celestial Thearch. “Freeze!”

Crack!

The space around the Celestial Thearch instantly congealed to resemble walls of iron and steel, thereby completely immobilizing him.

The black lightning spatial saber in the Heavenly Space God’s hand continued to fall, transforming into countless dark shadows in the process.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

One saber wound after another appeared on the Celestial Thearch’s body.

“Hehe, Celestial Thearch, you’re still trying to scare me away?”

“You’re going to die here today and nothing will change that!”

The Heavenly Space God was basking in the pleasure of vengeance as his saber fell mercilessly again and again.

The Celestial Thearch’s body was quite powerful, and the Heavenly Space God wasn’t able to slice him in half even if he attacked with all his might. However, slicing into an enemy countless times with a blunt blade was far crueler than giving him a quick death. As such, the Heavenly Space God didn’t mind dishing out some torture.

Boom!

The Celestial Thearch struggled free from the spatial seal, and he lashed out with his sword in a thunderous rage.

At that moment, the spinning golden turtle shell began to approach again. It shimmered with the light of annihilation and rammed violently into the Celestial Thearch’s waist, causing his entire body to fold in on itself.

Boom!

Another resounding boom erupted.

The Celestial Thearch threw up a large mouthful of blood as he crashed to the ground.

“Celestial Thearch, this is the end of the road for you.”

The two formidable Heavenly Gods looked down upon the severely wounded man below.

“Accept the judgment of the heavens.”
