I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Lord Demon’s Escape，I’m Going to Explode

Lord Demon was initially planning for an escape. All this while, he had been living peacefully in the temple and passed his time by chanting. It was exactly the life he had always dreamed of. He was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with him, that he could actually live life peacefully. However, this sudden change made him question his life again, for it was obvious the Heavenly Palace people were about to be annihilated.

“Oh, come on! Not again!” He started sobbing internally when he found out they had to go to the battlefield again and had been plotting for a way to escape ever since. Alas, it was not meant to be. He was put under the spotlight as soon as the book fell into his hands without any warning at all. ‘Why?! What have I ever done to you, you baldie!’ Stunned, he wished he could say all these out loud to Jiechi.

Seeing his doubts, Jiechi said, “Demon Lord, I can tell from your many brushes with death that you won’t die so easily. Therefore, I can rest assured that the book will be safe with you.”

‘You and your bullsh*t! Is this your way of sentencing me to death?’ Lord Demon looked at the book in his trembling hands. He could feel the countless gazes focused on him as all their aura, including the Wisdom Elites’, locked on him.

He was only a lowly Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal and was a long way away from entering the Heavenly Realm. Even a sneeze from a Wisdom Elite could wipe him out, so how was it possible for him to come out of this alive?

“Dragon Point!” shouted a Wisdom Elite as he pointed at Lord Demon. In the next moment, the endless Wisdom converged with the laws of the universe and turned into a dragon apparition. Its mouth was wide open, wanting to swallow Lord Demon and the book in one mouthful!

“Demon Suppressing Heavenly Hand!” shouted another Wisdom Elite with a raise of his hand. The giant palm tore through the space and turned into a giant black hand which then came rushing toward Lord Demon.

On the battlefield, one cultivator after another rushed toward the shaking Lord Demon.

“With the Buddhist sutra as a guide, Apocalypse Sky Dragon!” yelled Jiechi. The muscles of the disciples became shiny as if they were gilded with gold and they began to move into their positions. They set up a special formation in the shape of a Buddha seal. As soon as it was activated, a dragon swam out of the book and orbited around Lord Demon.

The dragon’s scales were dazzling in gold and it was imbued with the Power of Wisdom and Origins. All of the incoming attacks fell away instantly. It seemed to be able to take on several Wisdom Elites at once with the help of the power of the sutras and all living beings.

However, just when everyone was guarding the formation, Lord Demon suddenly jumped on the dragon and rode away with the book clenched tightly in his hand.

“Apocalypse Sky Dragon, run!” Immediately, the mighty dragon turned around and fled. It moved so fast that only a flicker of his tail could be seen.

“Did he escape…just like that?”

“Where’s his sense of justice?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Quick! Chase after them!”

“That book’s an Origins Ultimate Treasure! We must get our hands on it no matter what!”

“We can’t let him get away!”

“Whoever gets the book will surely be blessed with great fortune!”

In the next instant, they all chased madly after Lord Demon with burning eyes. Excitement filled their hearts and they nearly broke out in applause for Lord Demon, for if he had not run away, the book would surely belong to the strongest person in their group. Now that he had run away, there was a possibility they would be able to get their hands on it.

Gu Debai’s eyes suddenly darkened and there was a panicked edge to his voice and he said, “We’ll be greatly rewarded if we offer that book to Ancestor Eldritch. Gu Zhe, I’ll leave it to you to get the book.”

“Yes, Brother Debai!” He left the battlefield without hesitation and rushed toward Lord Demon.

It would take some time to suppress Daji even if the two of them worked together. Compared to that, it was more important to get their hands on the book. Besides, there was no way Daji could stop Gu Zhe from going after Lord Demon.

Yun Qianshan’s heart tightened when he saw Gu Zhe going after Lord Demon. Even though they had joined forces with the Eldritchs, it did not mean that they would give up all the goodies without a fight.

“Zheng Shan, go get that book!” said Yun Qianshan.

“I don’t need you to tell me that!” He had already disappeared into the distance as soon as he said the last word.

The battle situation turned abruptly as a large group of people was lured away by Lord Demon. This gave the Heavenly Palace people a much-needed respite.

Jiechi put his hands together and said, “Amitabha, Lord Demon’s a man with great wisdom. He’s sacrificing himself by luring the firepower away from us.”

“Hold on, Brother Lord Demon!”

“If I don’t go to hell, who will? Brother Lord Demon’s really a role model for my generation.”

“Brother Lord Demon can always miraculously turn any dangerous situation around so he must be fine this time as well…right?”

On the other side, the pale-faced Lord Demon was running away desperately.

“Sh*t! They’re fast!” He felt the terrifying energy fluctuations behind him and this made him cry out bitterly again and again. “This has got to be the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in!”

He kept his head low and charged toward a particular direction which just happened to be where the four-part architecture was. “The only person who can save me from all these terrifying people is him!”

He had already come up with a plan in his mind. “I’m not a real monk anyways! It’s not like I have so many taboos like those in Heavenly Palace. I don’t care if I offend the expert. I’ll be dead no matter what so I might as well fight for this chance!”

It was he who led the monks to the four-part architecture when they encountered a crisis the last time. Why should he act any differently this time?

“Where do you think an ant like you can escape to? Hand over that book and I’ll grant you a quick death!” said Gu Lie who was hot on his heels. His voice transformed into a mighty soundwave and rushed oppressively toward Lord Demon from all directions.

The Apocalypse Sky Dragon screamed and the golden light on his body dimmed.

“You gotta hold on, Apo! My life depends on you now!” Lord Demon was filled with horror. He would have died 10,000 times if it was not for the golden dragon’s protection.

The Apocalypse Sky Dragon sped up and soon entered the Area of the Gods.

“Huh? This isn’t a bad place. Is this where the Gods of the seventh dimension reside?” Gu Lie, Zheng Shan, and the others had also arrived and their eyes were filled with greed when they sensed the aura there.

“I’ll come back to suck this place dry once I get my hands on that book!” said Gu Lie with a smirk.

Zheng Shan, however, was frowning, and there was a cautious look in his eyes. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you but there’s something very weird going on in the seventh dimension. We should proceed carefully.”

The old pavilion master of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion had told him that there was a guardian who had entered the state of the ultimate existence in the seventh dimension. There was no way to predict what would happen there. If not for this, they would have come here a long time ago. This information was classified and he was unwilling to divulge more to the Eldritchs.

“What a sloppy lie! It’s obvious you’re trying to scare me away so that you can call dibs on the book!” The expression on Gu Zhe’s face was as if he had seen everything under the sun and with a flash, he once again pursued Lord Demon.

After a while, Lord Demon arrived at the four-part architecture, out of breath. Without hesitation, he shot down from the sky and knelt on the ground in front of the door. Then, ensued a vigorous kowtowing.

“I have no intention of offending you but I’ve been forced to do so. I hope My Lord will find it in his heart to forgive me, but should you choose to kill me, I’ll gladly accept my fate without complaint.” He did not enter the four-part architecture after saying that but instead, hid someplace nearby.

Immediately afterward, Gu Zhe, Zheng Shan, and the others arrived there, too. Their hearts clenched when they saw the four-part architecture, for they could sense an extraordinary and strange aura flowing within it. However, they could not find anything unusual about it after taking a closer look.

“Quick! Find that guy!” said Zheng Shan in a low voice.

“Huh? Why do I smell something familiar?” asked someone suddenly with a frown.

“Me, too! It smells like something divine!”

“It smells similar…to the Origins we had!”

Everybody was taken aback by that and their eyes began to flash brilliantly.

“Yes, it’s indeed the smell of Origins! Could this be where they got it from?”

“Hahaha, let’s quickly look for it! We’ve definitely hit the jackpot!”

“This is a happy surprise! I never expected to run into something this good just by chasing after that guy!”

They were filled with excitement and quickly followed their noses to look for the source of the smell.

Soon, they arrived at the back of the four-part architecture and they would never forget the scene they saw before them. There, a large number of demons gathered before a large pit. They were naked from the waist down and were lining up to go to the toilet. As for the source of the smell… Well, it was coming from the pit.

Their brains nearly exploded and the pain made their minds go blank.

‘No…No! It can’t be. This can’t be real!’

The next moment, they heard the conversation going on between the demons.

“Poop harder, people! We have no idea when those pesky bugs will come again. We should take this opportunity to poop more!”

“We’re so lucky the bugs didn’t come today!”

‘Bugs…?’ They nearly fainted as their legs turned into jelly.

“That’s what we’ve been fighting for?”

“I can’t believe I ate it!”

“Ugh, I can’t hold it in anymore. Blergh…..”

“Gah! Tell me this isn’t real! Someone, please, kill me!”

“No, I’m going to explode!”

In an instant, everyone’s Dao Heart was hit hard. Some of them could not bear the humiliation and exploded while the others were still in denial, so they rushed over to the pit.

“They look exactly like the lumps we stole from the bugs!”

“The smell is exactly the same, too!”

“How is this possible? How could those lumps be filled with the aura of Origins?”

“We’ve been played!”

Suddenly, everyone’s eyes turned red. Their faces contorted savagely and their mana surged erratically around them, making them all seem insane.

“I actually put this thing into my mouth…?” said Zheng Shan hoarsely. He was trembling all over.

Gu Zhe, too, was trembling all over. He felt his skull crawling. “Not only did I eat this but I actually sent a huge lump to the Ancestor Eldritch and he…praised me for that?”

“D*mn you all! Why do you have to poop here! Die!”

“Yes, kill them all! Spare no one!”

“Die! All of you! Die!”

They took their anger out on the demons and their terrifying force transformed into weapons of slaughter, harvesting lives. Suddenly, the screams of many demons echoed through the air as their bodies were ridden with holes, blood gushing out everywhere. What a miserable way to die indeed.

Somewhere close by the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan had brought along Qin Manyun, Shi Tuqin, and Little Fox for a sketch. Daji and the others were out on a mission, so Li Nianfan decided to come out for a breath of fresh air.

At this time, Qin Manyun was playing her Guqin and Little Fox was jumping around in the woods like an innocent child. She would have been naked if it was not for Li Nianfan’s insistence that she kept her clothes on. As for Shi Tuqin, she was trying to paint the scenery in front of her with Li Nianfan guiding her.

Suddenly, the commotion from the back of the four-part architecture reached their ears.

“What noise is that? What happened over there?”

“It’s the sound of demons roaring. They sound really pitiful.”

“Someone very powerful has come!”

The three girl’s expressions changed. The overflowing energy they sensed made their hearts thump wildly.

“Let’s all go check it out!” said Li Nianfan decisively and the four of them rushed over to the area with Qin Manyun and the other two keeping a close guard over him.

Soon, they returned to the four-part architecture and Li Nianfan’s eyes became red when he saw the scene in front of him. All the wild game animals had all fallen into a pool of their own blood. The way they died was extremely miserable. Some of them were minced beyond recognition while the others were missing a limb or two.

Although they were wild game animals, Li Nianfan had nonetheless become attached to them, for, after all, he had single-handedly raised them to how they were. Besides, he could not bear the thought that someone had sullied his game meat! ‘What’s wrong with these people? Why would they slaughter these cute and innocent game animals?’

The three girls’ hearts sank to the pits when they saw Zheng Shan and the others. They started trembling while wondering where all these Wisdom Elites come from. There were even two Wisdom Elites with unfathomable power that could suppress them with only their pinkies. There was no way the three of them could win in a fight against them all.

“What’s wrong? Are these people very strong?” asked Li Nianfan worriedly when he sensed their fear.

“Yes,” said Qin Manyun anxiously.

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll be fine.” He was feeling a little weak in the knees as well but knew that he had to remain calm for their sake. He was secretly holding a stone in his hand. The stone was none other than the lethal Doubly Flying Stone which he had not used in a long time.

He gave himself a pep talk. ‘Indeed, I don’t have any magical powers but both of my wives are super powerful! I’m sure they’re nothing when compared to my wives. The Double Flying Stone in my hand contains their ultimate spells which are definitely strong enough to annihilate them all!’
