I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 372
Chapter 372: The Correct Usage of the Realm-Piercing Nail
Within a sea of crimson flames, An Lin clothes had been torn to shreds, revealing a thin layer of blue light underneath which protected his body from the scorching flames.
The Heavenly Ice Silk Garment had been activated, and it shielded its wearer from the force of this explosion.
However, An Lin knew that there was only a limited amount of energy stored within the immortal tool, and it could only activate this defensive barrier a handful more times, so he had to finish this battle before the energy ran out!
The cry of a falcon sounded, and the Hundred-Beast Demon spread its bony wings wide and swooped down upon An Lin like a monstrous falcon.
An Lin turned his gaze upon those strange bony wings and unleashed his Wind Sword Technique again.
The Evil-Slaying Sword slashed a white crescent of wind through the air, which closed in on the wings of the Hundred-Beast Demon at an alarming speed.
Boom!
He could see that the blade of his sword didn’t even have a chance to come into contact with the demon’s bony wings before it was deflected by a spatial barrier. The overwhelming force behind the collision almost tore the sword out of An Lin’s hand.
No… This wasn’t the weakness he was looking for…
Could it be that the only course of action available to him was to break open the Hundred-Beast Demon’s spatial barrier by force?
But what if he was unable to break through the spatial barrier even if he used his Origin Energy of the Netherworld? Once time ran out and the after-effect of using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld struck him, he would be rendered completely defenseless.
“Dark Dragon Lightning!”
The Hundred-Beast Demon splayed its hands out in front of itself and black lightning began to gather in his palms. The power imbued within the lightning became more and more frightening as the space around it began to shimmer, as if the very air itself was trembling with fear.
Boom!
A bolt of black lightning as thick as a water tank tore through the air like a dragon and descended upon An Lin.
An Lin pointed a finger at the bolt of lightning crashing down upon him— Lightning Manipulation Technique!
The bolt of lightning instantly froze in mid-air.
The Hundred-Beast Demon’s vicious expression also faltered slightly at the sight of the stationary bolt of lightning.
Lightning Amplification Technique!
Crack…
Invisible ripples began to appear all over the bolt of lightning, making it accumulate even more power.
An Lin pointed his finger in another direction, and the bolt of black lightning twisted around and instantly punctured the Hundred-Beast Demon’s chest!
Boom!
The bolt of black lightning pierced through the Hundred-Beast Demon’s chest with unstoppable force, leaving a massive, charred hole and a fountain of gushing crimson blood in its wake.
“Howl!” the Hundred-Beast Demon wailed in shock and pain.
An Lin immediately came to a realization upon seeing this and devised the first possible method for flipping the tables.
The spatial barrier was unable to keep out the Hundred-Beast Demon’s own power!
This was something that could probably be derived after some deep thought. The Hundred-Beast Demon needed to absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth into its body and then transform the energy before ejecting it in order to cast its spells. If the spatial barrier inhibited the passage of even its own energy, then the spells it cast would explode after striking the spatial barrier, thus resulting in self-detonation!
A glimmer of hope finally began to rise up in An Lin’s heart after making this observation.
However, he was only able to use injure the Hundred-Beast Demon through the use of the Lightning Manipulation Technique and the Lightning Amplification Technique. But how was he going to control the rest of the Hundred-Beast Demon’s spell techniques?
Just as the Hundred-Beast Demon was stumbling back in retreat, a series of blue saber projections were already upon it.
The Hundred-Beast Demon was still slightly stunned from its injuries and didn’t have a chance to dodge.
Hence, the saber projections slashed through the air and struck the Hundred-Beast Demon. An explosion of energy burst forth, but the saber projections were unable to break through the Hundred-Beast Demon’s spatial barrier.
Blood was still gushing forth from the gaping hole at the Hundred-Beast Demon’s chest, but the wound soon began to heal over, and the process of instantaneous regeneration commenced as the Hundred-Beast Demon’s flesh squirmed and crawled.
An Lin looked at the Hundred-Beast Demon with a grave expression. Such fearsome regenerative abilities presented another troubling predicament to him.
The Hundred-Beast Demon was also staring intently at An Lin. A hint of fear flashed through its eyes, and a hesitant expression surfaced on his face.
Bang…
An arc of lightning flashed toward An Lin.
An Lin hesitated as he looked at the oncoming bolt of lightning. Should he use the Lightning Manipulation Technique?
The bolt of lightning isn’t very powerful… Is this an experimental attack?
He made a split-second decision to remain standing on the spot without putting up any defense.
The arc of lightning crashed into An Lin with a resounding boom, causing plumes of black smokes to rise from his body and curling his hair into waves on his head.
“Noob! Didn’t you eat dinner? Why is your lightning so damn weak!?” An Lin taunted it with a sneer.
“Roar!” The Hundred-Beast Demon had clearly fallen for An Lin’s trap and bared its teeth in an earth-shaking roar.
“Void Dragon Lightning!” The Hundred-Beast Demon once again unleashed a powerful lightning spell technique.
The golden divine lightning it unleashed this time was even more powerful than the Dark Dragon Lightning it had unleashed earlier.
The golden lightning crashed down toward An Lin, who awaited it with a gleeful expression.
Was the retard thinking the Lightning Manipulation Technique wouldn’t work if it used a different lightning spell technique? It looked like the main factor he could use to his advantage was to turn the tables around by relying on the Hundred-Beast Demon’s lack of intelligence!
An Lin was going to make really good use of this powerful bolt of lightning!
Lightning Manipulation Technique, Lightning Amplification Technique!
The bolt of golden lightning halted in the air under the incredulous gaze of the Hundred-Beast Demon before glowing with a blinding light and accumulating even more power. The bolt of lightning then twisted back and crashed down on its head with unstoppable force and incredible speed.
Boom!
A huge hole was instantly blown into the Hundred-Beast Demon’s head.
The head was a vital organ for most living organisms. Hence, An Lin aimed the bolt of lightning at the Hundred-Beast Demon’s head in the hope of being able to kill it with one fell swoop.
The Hundred-Beast Demon’s eyes glossed over in front of An Lin’s eyes. Some mysterious liquid dripped out from the charred hole in its head, but most of the blood had been instantly evaporated by the lightning blast.
Is it dead?
An Lin’s breathing was a little bit heavy.
A few seconds later, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold.
It was the sound of flesh crawling and knitting together. A dull, crimson light emanated from the Hundred-Beast Demon’s body as it began to regenerate itself once again.
An Lin’s heart trembled as a sense of despair came over him. Its life force was simply far too fearsome.
What could he do… Even though the Hundred-Beast Demon was a retard that wasn’t immune to its own attacks, it was still next to impossible to defeat it…
“You won’t win like this, use the Realm-Piercing Nail,” a cold voice sounded in An Lin’s head.
An Lin’s body shivered as he came to the realization that his Evil-Slaying Sword was talking to him. “Little Xie, will the Realm-Piercing Nail work? Isn’t it used for breaking open spell formations? It has a bit more penetrative power than most weapons and it possesses some intelligence, but it won’t be able to pierce through the spatial barrier!”
Evil-Slaying Sword: “Shut the hell up! If someone gives you a gun, would you be able to make the most of its power by using it as a hammer?!”
An Lin: “…”
“I’m going to impart with you a manipulation mantra, commit this to memory!” The impatient voice of the Evil-Slaying Sword continued in An Lin’s mind, “Use your mind to communicate with your soul, merge your soul and body as one, condense your vital energy to the nine meridians…”
Perhaps the head injury was quite a severe one as the Hundred-Beast Demon was extremely slow in its recovery and was still standing rooted to the spot.
An Lin’s eyes became extremely bright as a black mist began to pour forth from his body. His aura became explosively stronger as a fearsome power began to burst forth from his body.
Origin Energy of the Netherworld!
A red light flashed and a crimson nail appeared in the air.
He looked toward the Hundred-Beast Demon, who was still rooted to the spot, and the corners of his lips lifted in a confident smile.
“Let me give you a taste of the true power of the Realm-Piercing Nail!”
