I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 346
Chapter 346: Ruler of the Flames
“Be careful.” Xu Xiaolan relaxed slightly after seeing the true flame intent bursting from An Lin’s body, and she started flying toward the rest of her teammates.
“What’s Student An Lin planning to do?” Xuanyuan Cheng was a little anxious as he looked up toward An Lin.
It wasn’t only Xuanyuan Cheng who was worried; everyone was gazing up at An Lin.
At this moment, dozens of sinister devils were already lunging toward An Lin.
They became blurs of black shadows, and an air of chaos swirled about them as they extended their distorted black claws.
Gundam One and Gundam Two released their Ion Blocking Defensive Barrier as they landed within the flame barrier.
An Lin intertwined his index fingers and pressed his thumbs together. This was an ancient hand seal incantation.
The void suddenly warped. Immediately afterward, the sinister devils started shrieking in agony. Like evaporating steam, bursts of thick white smoke rose from their distorted black bodies.
“Heavenly Void Flame!”
Boom!
A transparent flame wave surged into the surroundings and incinerated the dozens of sinister devils!
“Great Holy Flame!”
A yellowish-white light disk appeared behind An Lin’s back. The thousands of feet surrounding him instantly became a torturous hell of light and heat. Even the air became warped and distorted!
The sinister devils on the ground squirmed in pain as they were scorched by the devastating heat of the flame. Many of them leaped at An Lin in desperation. However, they were all burnt to crisp by the invisible and formless Heavenly Void Flame!
“Demonic Star Flame!”
A purple flame appeared and turned the sky into a vast expanse of starry flames. Like dazzling stars in the night sky, specks of white flames sparkled brilliantly within this sea of flames. Each of them possessed a terrifying power.
“Setting Moon Flame!”
On the ground below, blue flames swept into the surroundings like torrents of raging waves. These blue flames engulfed several miles, and the icy chill they possessed froze countless sinister devils into ice statues. Then, as if they were manipulated by some uncanny power, these ice statues all started melting!
At this stage, regardless of whether it was sky, ground or void, the entire space had transformed into a flaming hell!
An Lin’s teammates stared at the scene before them dazedly. They were all shocked speechless.
At this moment, An Lin was Ruler of the Flames. He stood amid the skies proudly and commanded all the flames of heaven and earth!
“Sea of Divine Flames, activate!”
An Lin’s expression was calm, and the crimson symbol on his hand dazzled brilliantly. He was launching the killing blow!
Up in the sky, the purple flames wrapped themselves around the white, star-like specks. Then, they hurtled toward the ground like blazing meteorites.
The torrential Heavenly Void Flame surged toward the sinister devils like an unstoppable tsunami.
The ‘sun’ behind him spat out boundless golden flames which raged into the distance.
On the ground, dull blue flames welled up into towering waves and enveloped countless sinister devils.
In an instant, the four flames transformed heaven and earth into a deadly furnace. They annihilated all matter standing in their way!
Battle God Zi Yang shivered uncontrollably as he gazed at this earth-shattering attack. This is the power one can wield after achieving phenomenal success of the Flame Mantra? This flame intent realm; this coordination between flames… It’s absolute perfection!!!
Even Battle Goddess Bi Qiong had a glint in her eyes. For the first time, an expression of marvel appeared on her beautiful face.
Boom!
The four flames formed a devastating slaughter ground and incinerated all the sinister devils into oblivion.
After being battered by the Divine Flames, Gundam One and Gundam Two’s Ion Blocking Defensive Barriers were also teetering on the brink of failure.
This overwhelming flame attack almost scorched heaven and earth into oblivion. After the flames died out, the entire army of sinister devils had already perished. The earth was smoking and melted, and it glowed a dull red.
An Lin slowly descended from the skies. Spots of black flashed across his vision, and he collapsed toward the ground in exhaustion.
At this moment, a sweet fragrance blew over.
Then, his body was caught by a soft and delicate arm. Turning his head, he saw a beautiful female smiling down at him. There was a hint of curiosity in her bright eyes.
“Who would’ve thought that you’re more masterful with flames than I am!” the female praised.
An Lin shook his head. “No need to praise me so effusively. This is the only technique I know.”
An Lin felt that it was better to be more modest toward Xu Xiaolan.
He hadn’t expected for his new technique to be so formidable. It was able to burn thousands of sinister devils to crisp! Realizing that he had a devastating area-of-effect technique at his disposal now, an elated feeling washed over him.
At this moment, his other teammates also gathered around him with curious expressions.
His three retarded superfans—Yao Mingxi, Hu Guan, and White Spirit Snake—were so worked up that they almost rushed up to embrace him. They spewed a torrent of nonsense, proclaiming that “Big Brother An is invincible”, “Big Brother An is going to dominate the world”… They heaped on all the praises that they could think of.
White Spirit Snake even suggested changing his Dao title from Poison Lord to Flame Lord.
An Lin was completely mystified. Since when had Poison Lord become his Dao title?
Poison Lord was a stupid label that others had conjured and slapped on him. In reality, he still didn’t have a Dao title yet.
Even if he did choose a Dao title, he wouldn’t choose something as lame sounding as Flame Lord!
Only titles such as “Lotus Scholar” or “Sword Immortal Heavenly An” suited his style.
A voice suddenly boomed across the skies.
“Congratulations! Realm-Guardian Trial, Sinister Devil Stage completed!”
A sheet of light descended from the skies, and a string of Chinese characters materialized upon it:
An Lin: 11,200 points. Xu Xiaolan: 2,030 points. Xuanyuan Cheng: 1,800 points. Su Qianyun: 1,650 points.
Yao Mingxi: 920 points. Hu Guan: 750 points. Liu Qianhuan: 570 points. Tian Lingling: 110 points. White Spirit Snake: 30 points. Tang Ximen: 0 points.
The Battle God and Battle Goddess also sat on zero points.
Apart from this list of scores, there was no inheritance or any other reward.
A sudden realization dawned upon them as they looked at this list of scores. These were their total points, right? Perhaps they could use these points to swap for inheritances or other treasures once they completed all the trials.
An Lin had the most points, as he had released an area-of-effect attack that had instantly obliterated thousands of sinister devils. Even though Liu Qianhuan was strong, she didn’t have many points. This was because she bludged the entire time.
As for Tian Lingling and White Spirit Snake, they continuously cast immortal spells from within the flame barrier and managed to kill a few sinister devils. Thus, they also earned some points. Tang Ximen was the most pitiable. The large zero next to his name was a bit glaring to look at…
Tang Ximen was speechless as he gazed at the list of scores displayed on the sheet of light in the sky. He felt even more vexed when he saw the others glancing over in sympathy.
Why are you guys looking at me? Why?! I, Tang Ximen, have an indomitable spirit! I don’t need your sympathy!!!
However, another thought suddenly occurred to him. In this tomb searching adventure, he would perhaps end up with just that solitary inheritance. This yield was even lesser than that of Tian Lingling and White Spirit Snake, both of whom had rewards presented to them on a platter.
Out of the ten members of their team, his yield was the smallest. Thinking of this, a feeling of sadness welled up in him…
A white spatial tunnel started to materialize before them. An Lin swallowed a Blood Spirit Pill and sat down to rest. After everyone recovered, they continued moving forward.
…
Within some dark space, Black Spirit Snake gazed at the traveling figures. Her hands were clasped together, and she lightly drummed her pale and delicate thumbs.
“An Lin, Liu Qianhuan, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, and Su Qianyun… The strength of these cultivators is near the level of Battle Gods. Moreover, they have Battle God Zi Yang and Little Qing with them. I’m afraid that even the hell mode difficulty isn’t challenging enough for them…
“If the trials aren’t life-threatening, then they’re not proper trials.”
As she said this, Black Spirit Snake turned her gaze toward the bald male. Her pitch-black pupils invited one into oblivion.
“Seal away eighty percent of your strength. In the last trial, ambush them as the final boss.”
The bald male shuddered upon hearing this. He lowered his head and replied, “As per your command, Master Black!”
