Villain Cultivator Chapter 400

Upon hearing his name, the red-faced man with a long black beard and green robes entered the stage with an immortal-grade Guandao halberd. He glanced at the wine cup that he hadn't finished drinking the content, "Elder brother, I don't know why we're fighting for Yuan Shaoqing, but I'll bring Mao Miaomiao's head back for you before my wine is cold."

Liu Xuande giggled, "Instead of taking his head, I want you to be careful. Don't die on me before I become the emperor of this planet, okay?"

"Hmm."

Guan Yunchang stood at the center of the platform, facing Mao Miaomiao. He slammed the bottom of his glaive to the ground and bellowed.

"I'm Guan Yunchang! Mao Miaomiao, I've heard of your evil deeds! Come and face me!"

Miaomiao widened his eyes, surprised by his new opponent. Then, he glared at Fang Yanxu, scolding him with his eyes for rigging the fourth round.

Fang Yanxu sneered at Miaomiao, "As usual, the victor of this duel may request something from the loser. You can either ask for the entire Siren City or Chicken Ann City after you defeat your opponent. Or, you may ask for his life!"

People from Siren City began booing while Yuan Shaoqing's men cheered and laughed at Miaomiao. Everyone believed that a half-step fifth-stage cultivator wouldn't be a match for the 8th-stage veteran expert from the Holy Land Continent.

Instead of being angry, frustrated, irritated, or dissatisfied with the current development, Miaomiao's mouth curved down while he sighed.

"I guess this is what I have to face as a protagonist of my own story. Being a protagonist sucks balls! Can't I just be a mob and live my life in peace as a mob? I guess I have to go all out, then."

While complaining, Miaomiao's eyes turned sinister. The white parts became black while the pupils glowed in red light.

He retransformed into a complete dragonewt. His dark scales lustered under the sunlight while flame enveloped his body.

Suddenly, Miaomiao's brain worked like a supercomputer. He processed countless images of information and 300 years' worth of Lu Fengxian's experience in his past lives.

The Dragon Fire Element Qi and Gold Element Qi gathered on top of Miaomiao's head and created a new headwear. It was similar to Sun Wukong's Golden Fillet in Chinese Mythology, which Lu Bu in modernized version always wore.

The dragon-like face of Miaomiao changed shape, reverting back to his humanoid head. However, it became an oval helmet with a dark visor that covered his entire head like a futuristic space helmet.

Despite being covered by the smooth black-amethyst visor, Miaomiao could see everything.

The Dragon Bracers, the hidden heaven-grade artifacts that Miaomiao had been wearing, responded to the transformation. It released Miaomiao and released several armor parts out of nowhere.

Dark scaled armor covered Miaomiao's torso, arms, legs, hands, and feet in order. Combining with his headwear and the black helmet, he became an odd black knight.

Killer Queen in Miaomiao's hands burst into laughter as she devoured Miaomiao's dragon metal Qi. Her hilt suddenly lengthened and become as long as a halberd pole. The katana blade shape-shifted into crescent moon blades.

From a black-blade katana, Killer Queen transformed into Lu Bu's signature weapon, the Crescent Mood Halberd!

The tower shield behind Miaomiao's back moved by itself. It hovered by Miaomiao's left shoulder, standing by for the next battle.

Behind Miaomiao, the pseudo dao avatar in the appearance of Lu Fengxian's shadow silhouette appeared for a moment. Then, it entered with Miaomiao's body.

Two red lights flashed under the visor. A crimson wisp emerged and orbited around Miaomiao, whispering incomprehensible words that only Miaomiao could understand.

The whisper was a fragment of Lu Fengxian's thoughts and memory when he was alive. However, the voice of the whisper belonged to someone else that Miaomiao didn't know.

'Humans can't possibly cultivate by relying solely on the Morning Star Scripture. After all, Lucifer invented it to suit his constitution and combat style. Even if you cultivate it, you will not be able to display the full potential of War God Physique.'

The voice was hoarse. However, Miaomiao felt that Lu Fengxian might have respected this speaker a lot.

'It's too evil for a kind human like you, Fengxian. How about this? I'll teach you the Formula of Immortality that I learned 200,000 years ago. You can apply it to any physique type to harmonize the berserking blood and the uncontrollable soul essence in your soul dantian.'

Miaomiao had processed this piece of information over and over again.

War God Physique of Lu Fengxian was designed for a specific primordial pure-blood demon. It strengthened the soul skeleton structure of the practitioner, allowing it to store any types of dao laws, the higher power beyond the soul essence energy. Whenever a practitioner with the physique attacked, the residual dao laws would burst out automatically, adding various attributes and distorted reality to the strike.

Miaomiao couldn't understand the principle behind the Dao Laws since he hadn't mastered various energy forms, such as Elemental Essence, Soul Qi, or Soul Essence. For now, he had to leave this mysterious portion of memory alone.

Still, the harmonize technique in the memory was similar to Nero's cultivation method. Miaomiao had another inspiration by listening to the advice of a mysterious immortal.

The wisp faded and entered the back of Miaomiao's head as if the soul fragment of Lu Fengxian had done reminding the former about the downside of his power.

Miaomiao grinned and slightly shook his head. It seemed the will of Lu Fengxian was overly paranoid about his future.

"Just rest, Lu Bu. Let me take your role and beat the shit out of the three peach garden brothers! You, in my world, beat Guan Yu black and blue before he cried for help. I'll reenact the event for you."

RUMBLE

The soul fragment of Lu Fengxian went dormant as if he was satisfied. Yet, Miaomiao's Qi and Essence soared.

Ding

[Warning, the soul fragment of Lu Fengxian is releasing Soul Qi and Soul Essence to your dantian!]

[The Heavenly Fate Crystal is reacting to your friendship with its previous owner!]

[Your dantian capacity has expanded by 20 Trillion Liters!]

[Your dantian…]

BOOM

As Guan Yunchang was about to get into a battle stance, he felt the surge of Miaomiao's aura. The latter's presence seemed bigger.

Something inside him had changed.

The thing that didn't exist suddenly formed.

The harmless elemental Qi strands suddenly weaved together and were condensed into a drop of liquid.

An elemental continent had emerged inside Miaomiao's dantian!

Miaomiao suddenly broke through and became a full-fledged 5th-stage cultivator!

Guan Yunchang widened his eyes. He injected his soul Qi into his immortal-grade Guandao and activated the soul domain. As long as Miaomiao was within a radius of 100 kilometers around himself, Guan Yunchang's attacks would not miss!

While Guan Yunchang was eager to fight, Miaomiao let out a long sigh. A spark of flame and black smoke came out of his mouth and the smell of charcoal and burning gas hit everyone's nose.

"Sorry for the delay. I'm done using my MC plot armor… I mean, preparation."

As Miaomiao had finished his preparation, he weaved Killer Queen around to get used to its new form. Every time he swung the halberd, a red light appeared in a distance as if Miaomiao had cut through dimension or space. A trail of flame followed as his Dragon Fire Element Essence left behind a trace of its power.

"… I understand why you're the leader of Siren City's fighters despite being young. Now, I know why some of our cultivators called you a demon!"

Guan Yunchang glanced at Fang Yanxu, waiting for his signal to start the match.

Fang Yanxu was also shocked by Miaomiao's sudden breakthrough before the match. Moreover, the Elemental Essence was a type of rare energy that only the talented, the geniuses, or those who had been raised in an immortal realm could possess.

To acquire the elemental essence, one must construct a firm elemental continent in their dantian by allocating a trillion liter of yin or yang essence to support it. For the advanced element continent, the minimum requirement was 100 trillion liters!

Because of such a requirement, most cultivators only obtained elemental essence when they reached immortalhood.

Yet, Miaomiao had it when his cultivation base was still at the 5th-stage.

It showed the monstrous innate talent of Miaomiao, aka his dantian size.

Fang Yanxu eyed Miaomiao in envy. He had the urge to extract Miaomiao's essence core and his soul to refine them into a pill so that he could use it to enhance his dantian size, stealing Miaomiao's foundation.

'I don't care how many dao gods I will offend. As long as I can have that brat's foundation, I can become a dao god, too! With that monstrous foundation, I might even be stronger than Samsara, Joshua, or the Devil!'

Fang Yanxu's voice cracked as he started the fourth round, "Next match, Mao Miaomiao versus Guan Yunchang, begin!"

As soon as Fang Yanxu started the match, Guan Yunchang's presence suddenly got more oppressive. The girls and the beastmen nearby trembled in fear. Some of them could no longer fly and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Miaomiao also exuded a similar presence. Many cultivators from Yuan Shaoqing's side vomited blood and fell to the ground while the rest of the nascent soul cultivators had goosebumps.

As their oppressive aura clashed, Guan Yunchang and Miaomiao activated their power.

Guan Yunchang's soul Qi enhanced his immortal-grade Guandao while Miaomiao injected Dragon Fire Element Essence into Killer Queen.

They sent their first attack at the same time while they were 100 meters apart!

The soul domain of Guan Yunchang was similar to Jia Shan's sword domain. The strike from a distance would instantly hit his opponent as if the target was right in front of him. However, he couldn't strike from any angle like Jia Shan.

CLANK

The soul Qi slash hit the black metallic tower shield, which had been hovering by Miaomiao's left side.

The black amethyst tower shield was from Nero's stash. It was once an earth-grade item, but Nero's dragon metal essence refined it, transforming it into a heaven-grade artifact. It also contained the soul of the previous user, who had been eaten by Dian Wei.

Because of the long period of hibernation and the elemental essence, the soul's personality degraded to a mindless vengeful spirit. It screeched in anger, wanting to tear Guan Yunchang apart.

SWUA

As soon as Guan Yunchang's strike hit the shield, Miaomiao's moon crescent halberd cut through the space, creating a crimson line across Guan Yunchang's torso and left a trail of fire essence behind.

The ranged attack caused a bloodless wound. It streaked from Guan Yunchang's left shoulder to the latter's right waist, and the wound was two inches deep.

Silver smoke came out of Guan Yunchang's wound as his soul Qi leaked out of the soul physique. However, a second later, the wound disappeared.

Just like dragons and cockroach-like Xie Tian, Guan Yunchang could instantly self-heal!

"Interesting move, demon."

"I see that you have a plot armor as well."

Both fighters narrowed their eyes. They had tested each other's strengths, and they got enough information for their next strategy.

Guan Yunchang roared and his robes transformed into a green dragon scale armor. A green dragon helmet replaced his headwear while his immortal-grade Guandao let out a dragon roar.

The soul inside the immortal-grade Guandao manifested.

Miaomiao widened his eyes as he had seen the soul before. It looked similar to the will of the Azure Dragon!

"Azure Dragon Mirror!"

Guan Yunchang merged with the soul. Then, a copy of himself with the same armor and weapon appeared. Moreover, it emitted the same amount of energy, and Miaomiao couldn't differentiate if one of them was a clone or both of them were real.

Both Guan Yunchang kicked the ground. They disappeared from Miaomiao's vision and reappeared by Miaomiao's flanks, one on the left, and one on the right.

Despite being flanked, Miaomiao only glanced at them, activated a secret skill, and leaped forward to distract them.

SWUA

SWUA

The two Guans used the same domain power, swinging their Guandaos at the same time. One of the strikes severed Miaomiao's waist from the upper torso while another one beheaded him.

However, Miaomiao's body turned into smoke. The weapons and armors disappeared as well.

It was a clone!

Both Guan Yunchang flinched and turned around at the same time. They looked at the far edge of the platform, at the west where Siren City's representatives were the closest.

The real body of Miaomiao smiled at them. He slowly became transparent while his left fingers folded as if he had been holding a switch.

"Killer Queen, make sure not to detonate Wu Guotai and the succubi that I planted the fire Qi."

'Meh, I already recalled the Qi. They won't be harmed if you start a denotation spree.'

"Good to know."

Miaomiao's left thumb pressed the switch.

CLICK

The previous cut on Guan Yunchang's body reappeared as a red line, both the real body and the clone.

The 8th-stage cultivator sensed something inside his soul. Several drops of Dragon Fire Element Essence had been latching on his body!

Miaomiao had secretly implanted them to Guan Yunchang's soul physique during the first strike!
