Cultivating with Bragging System

RUMBLE!

The lineup for this Great Demonic Sacrifice was clearly the most lavish in the past thousand years. The souls of Emergence Stage experts were naturally far more potent than those of ordinary beings, and the resulting anomaly was equally earth-shattering.

The sky for thousands of miles was enveloped by thick black clouds, plunging heaven and earth into darkness. It was so pitch-black you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. In the next moment, an elusive yet vast and ancient will suddenly descended upon the world. Above the firmament, it condensed into an ancient Shadow Fiend. A single glance was enough to feel one’s mind tearing apart, as if endless Demonic Thoughts were burgeoning from the depths of one’s heart, compelling them to kneel, submit, and swear their faith. That figure... was it the very source of all demons?

The Shadow Fiend flickered, its desolate and frigid voice echoing through heaven and earth. "Lower Realm mortals, present your offering!"

With the upper half of his body pressed to the ground, the Burial Fiend King wore an expression of reverent fanaticism. "O supreme Soul Seizer Demon Lord, I am your most loyal believer! I wish to offer you the most precious of gifts! Please, grant your believer the power to hate infinitely, and to be infinitely hated in return!"

As he spoke, the soul energy that had been tearing through the sky rapidly condensed, coalescing into a sphere of incredibly pure Life Soul Essence Qi that flew toward the phantom of the Soul Seizer Demon Lord. Sensing the concentration of life-force within the essence, the Soul Seizer Demon Lord stated expressionlessly, "As you wish."

With that, it opened its great maw, preparing to devour the sphere of essence. The Burial Fiend King’s heart swelled with ecstasy. As long as the Soul Seizer Demon Lord absorbed this soul energy, it would bestow its blessing, and his power would surge. Then, old grudges and new... he would settle them all!

But just then, the unexpected happened.

The void tore open. Luo Binglan, piloting her Puppet, suddenly appeared and snatched the sphere of Life Soul Essence Qi, preventing the Soul Seizer Demon Lord from enjoying its sacrifice. The Demon Lord paused, then flew into a towering rage. "Lower Realm ant, you dare?"

The prize had been snatched from right under its nose. How could it not be furious? The Shadow Fiend twisted as endless Demonic Qi emanated from the void, transforming into a colossal hand that pressed down toward Luo Binglan.

BOOM!

The descending palm seemed to herald the end of the world. Space shattered, birthing a chaotic storm that swept across the land, threatening to destroy everything.

Luo Binglan, however, calmly stored away the Life Soul Essence Qi. She twirled the twin axes in her hands, one engraved with ’Virtue’ and the other with ’Reason’, and looked up at the giant demonic hand. Without a word, she soared defiantly upward to meet it.

SHIIING!

The axe blades sliced through the void. In the blink of an eye, several beams of axe light, each stretching for a thousand miles, crisscrossed and overlapped like a celestial river, tearing the very sky apart. A terrifying sharpness was born from the void, only to be annihilated within it, in a continuous, unceasing cycle. The enormous demonic hand was brutally ripped to shreds, dissolving into countless wisps of Demonic Qi that dissipated into the world.

The Soul Seizer Demon Lord was both shocked and enraged! It never imagined that this ant from the Lower Realm could withstand its attack. Even if this projection possessed less than a ten-thousandth of its true body’s power, it should have been impossible for a mere Saint Manifestation cultivator to resist! This was a huge embarrassment for demonkind!

"Ant, you have successfully enraged me!" the Soul Seizer Demon Lord’s voice turned icy as endless Demonic Qi converged. "I will show you what true cruelty is!"

Luo Binglan scoffed, "What a load of nonsense."

Before the words had even faded, her body shifted and transformed. Her already towering thirty-foot-tall figure suddenly grew again, stretching to an immense size. She stood like a mountain range, resembling the primordial giants of legend who were said to have created the heavens and the earth. She brought her twin axes together, merging them into a colossal double-handed battle-axe. One face was carved with Virtue, the other with Reason.

Virtue and Reason, united as one! Invincible under the heavens!

She dragged the giant battle-axe behind her as she tore through the air, an aura of absolute dominance radiating from her. In a flash, she was before the phantom of the Soul Seizer Demon Lord. Leaping high into the air, she swung her arms in a great arc, bringing the massive battle-axe crashing down.

The Soul Seizer Demon Lord’s pupils contracted violently as it roared in fury and disbelief. "Ant, you dare?!"

BOOM!

The only response was the clean, decisive glint of an axe. In an instant, the brilliant blade light split heaven from earth, passing straight through the Soul Seizer Demon Lord’s demonic form. In that moment, the heavens shook and the earth quaked. Vast swathes of the void were obliterated by the strike, only to regenerate and be obliterated again, over and over, as if they could never fully recover. The sight was terrifying, as though the sky itself had been rent asunder.

The Burial Fiend King was completely dumbfounded. High in the firmament, the once-solid, enormous, sky-piercing, and seemingly omnipotent Soul Seizer Demon Lord had just been... annihilated by Luo Binglan in a single blow!

That was a Heavenly Demon! Even if it was just a phantom, a mere sliver of its will, it was still a true Heavenly Demon! Who the hell is this ruthless woman? How can she be so damn fierce?

As the terrifying Demonic Qi continued to dissipate, the Soul Seizer Demon Lord’s furious, humiliated voice still echoed between heaven and earth. "Ant, state your name! This Lord will remember you!"

"I am who I am," a cool voice replied. "A follower of the Six Desires Heaven Demon Lord, Si Miaomiao!"

With that, Luo Binglan gave her axe a stylish twirl, extinguishing the last wisp of the Shadow Fiend.

Below, the Burial Fiend King heard her words and his expression turned strange. "Si Miaomiao... you—!"

BANG!

Before he could finish, Luo Binglan swung her axe, cleanly decapitating him. The light from the blade flowed over his corpse, and before his Divine Soul even had a chance to escape, it was utterly shredded.

"Master!" Wang Xiu cried out, rushing over and hugging Luo Binglan’s leg with genuine emotion. "Master, I missed you so much!"

Luo Binglan shrank the Puppet down to a normal human size and looked Wang Xiu over, a hint of surprise in her voice. "Your Cultivation Level... it has improved quite rapidly! It seems I have a talent for teaching disciples after all!"

When she had fallen into her slumber, Wang Xiu had only just begun his cultivation, at the first or second level of Qi Refinement. In what felt like a short nap for her, he had already reached Core Formation.

Wang Xiu looked aggrieved. "...Master, don’t you feel the least bit guilty saying that?" Every bit of his cultivation had been earned by himself, one step at a time, one grueling lesson after another! It was hard work!

Although Luo Binglan had been asleep, she had woken up periodically and had a general idea of how Wang Xiu had spent the past few years. Hearing his complaint, she turned her head away, a little guilt-ridden. "We are master and disciple, don’t be so formal! Anyway, did you see your master just now... Was I badass or what?"

Wang Xiu’s mouth twitched in resignation, but he nodded. "Badass! You were totally badass, absolutely awesome!"

Others might not know, but he knew that his master was always cold and aloof with strangers and people she didn’t know well, the type to attack at the slightest disagreement. Only after getting to know her would one slowly realize that, deep down, she wasn’t so unfeeling. In fact, she had the potential to be quite a character.

Wang Xiu then asked, "By the way, Master, since when did you have the name Si Miaomiao?"

Luo Binglan huffed. "That’s grown-up business. Little kids shouldn’t ask! Now come on, let’s go check out our loot!" Discover more novels at novel※fire.net
