I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 754: On the Pursuit of the Eldritchs

“Oh my god, the Eldritchs are actually losing!”

“Where exactly did these people come from? They’re so incredibly powerful!”

“Every battle’s a great victory for them! Heck, the Eldritch army was actually decimated by a song and a painting!”

“The group single-handedly took out the Eldritchs!”

“I can die without regrets after witnessing such an eye-opening battle!”

“Never in a million years could I have guessed that the Eldritchs would be suppressed by anyone! The seventh dimension has brought on a miracle!”

Everyone was deeply shocked by the power of Qin Manyun and others. So much so that they broke out in a layer of goosebumps.

“Fall back! The enemy’s too powerful for us! Fall back!” screamed Gu Haoyun desperately. His skull was crawling with horror and his eyes were burning red with anger. The cruelty of the seventh dimension shattered all his superiority and made him feel a bone-deep fear for the first time in his life.

‘Us Eldritchs have battled enemies for countless years and we’ve never come across such a strong opponent! How could they be so strong? It’s illogical no matter how I think of it. The seventh dimension seemed to have undergone a mutation!’

“Return to the first dimension. Only Ancestor Eldritch can suppress them!”

“Wahhh, I want Ancestor Eldritch…”

“Dammit, we wouldn’t have ended up like if Ancestor Eldritch was here! Let’s go back first!”

The Eldritchs expended all of their efforts in their bid to escape. Gu Chen’s body had been stabbed several times by the manure fork which had traces of manure on it, giving off a pungent smell. He finally got rid of the manure bucket on his head and wasted no time in running for his life.

“Just you wait, people of the seventh dimension! Ancestor Eldritch will avenge us! I dare you to come to the first dimension. Hahaha!” said Gu Chen cockily.

“Save me! Someone, please save me!” shouted Gu Teng, the most miserable of them all. The pants were wedged tighter on his head than the manure bucket on Gu Chen’s head ever was. He could not break free like Gu Chen, and could only call for help as he weaved through the void like a headless fly.

His whole body had doubled in size, from all the beating he received from Blackie. Even till now, Blackie’s punches still fell on him like a violent storm, making him cry. He finally let go of his dignity and begged for mercy. “Lord Dog, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…”

“If that’s the case, I’ll grant you a quick death!” Blackie nodded in satisfaction. He then raised his paw, condensing a monstrous claw in the void, and held Gu Teng in the palm of his hand, wiping out his Origins of Life as easily as crushing a mosquito.

Gu Haoyun ‘s eyes widened in horror as he increased his speed of escape. “Gu Teng, please, don’t hate me for not saving you when I can’t even save myself.”

He pulled out every trick from his hat for fear that he would follow in Gu Teng’s footsteps.

“Where do you think you’re going?” There was no way Dragin would let him go just like that. She held the ladle in her small hand and her mana flowed out of the ladle like tidal waves. Immediately, the space where Gu Haoyun was located seemed to melt away. It felt like water, yet, it was not water. It was a strange space to be indeed.

Gu Haoyun felt that the surrounding space had jellified and his speed was greatly reduced. Even his actions were restricted.

Nanan then rushed over and smashed her shovel on him. “Hahaha, let’s see how you escape now!”

“Out of the way! Those who block me shall die!” Gu Haoyun’s face was hideous with anxiety. The race against the grim reaper was driving him crazy.

“As if!” Nanan did not back down. Her eyes showed determination as she continued to block Gu Haoyun’s retreat.

“Hahaha, you’ve got some pluck, little girl! I’ll drag you down to the depths of hell with me!” Gu Haoyun’s eyes were red. He was like a trapped beast and was prepared to go down with Nanan.

Grinning maniacally, he began to perform one strange hand seal after another, and violent power burst forth from his body. This storm turned into a sphere, sealing off the area. From the outside, it looked like both Nanan and Dragin were shrouded in a pitch-black sphere.

“Swallow the sky!” shouted Gu Haoyun maniacally.

The Eldritchs plundered the seven dimensions with their devouring ultimate spell. The ultimate spell he was using now was their strongest, and it was created by Ancestor Eldritch specially for their clan. It could be said that this ultimate spell was tailor-made for their innate talent. He could not wait to see how Dragin and Nanan would suffer under this power!

“Hahaha, die you miserable wenches!” Gu Haoyun’s mouth curled up into a crazy smile.

However, the next moment, the smile on his face froze because he found that no matter how much devouring power he unleashed, Nanan remained motionless. It seemed as if the devouring power could not get near her at all.

“How is this possible?!” Gu Haoyun’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets with disbelief. How could the strongest devouring spell fail to work? It should have devoured all mana and vitality. Why, it took him mere seconds to devour a small world before this. Gu Haoyun was filled with doubts. He changed his posture calmly, but even that did not work.

“Haha, don’t try to teach your Grandma how to suck eggs!” Nanan smiled disdainfully as she slowly raised her hand. At this moment, there seemed to be no light around her. Only a dark shadow could be seen because all the light around her had been absorbed by her.

Every hair on Gu Haoyun involuntarily stood up. “This… This is…”

“I’ll show you what real devouring power is! Demon Devouring!” Nanan’s voice sounded as if it came from the depths of hell. In the next moment, a terrifying devouring force burst out of her body, completely dwarfing Gu Haoyun’s as his power was suppressed by Nanan. As if that was not enough, Gu Haoyun’s mana began to flow backward toward Nanan.

“No! My power!” Gu Haoyun roared miserably. “How could this be? I’m actually losing to a little girl! What kind of spell is this?” He did everything he could but he still could not stop Nanan. He could not believe that his devouring ultimate spell had turned on him.

“Why…what…how?!” His aura became weaker and weaker as his vitality gradually dissipated. At the last moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, ‘Can Ancestor Eldritch really win against the seventh dimension?’

The Eldritchs had completely lost this round.

Everyone looked at the escaping Eldritchs and thoughts abounded.

“Even till now I’m shocked at how fast they leveled up just by being by the expert’s side!” said Cultivator Junjun with a tone tinged with jealousy.

Yang Jing’s face mirrored his jealousy. He nodded and said, “Yeah… How I wish I could be by the expert’s side all the time, too.”

To be fair, their rate of leveling up was already faster than the average person, but compared to Blackie and the others, they were left in the dust. Every time they saw them, Blackie and the others would inevitably bring them new surprises. Originally, they were smug about their own increase in power but now, they felt emotionally tired to the extent that they wanted to lock themselves in the room.

Nothing in the world could compensate for staying by the expert’s side 24/7.

“They’re falling back! The Eldritchs are falling back!” shouted the others.

They looked at Nanan and the others standing in the void with eyes full of awe and admiration. With just a few of them, they managed to defeat the Eldritchs and gave them immeasurable losses. Their power was simply atrocious!

However, Nanan and the others did not leave. Instead, they peered into the portal to the first dimension. Behind Nanan, a green willow branch was emitting a bright green light, and a wave of divine consciousness fluctuated slowly from it. “It’s the aura of the Fifth Brother. He’s really in the first dimension!”

“Don’t worry, Sister Willow. Rest assured, I’ll get him out of there in no time!” promised Nanan solemnly.

At this time, the people of the Heavenly Palace flew over and saluted them respectfully.

“What?! You want to go to the first dimension?” Everyone gasped in disbelief when they heard what Nanan and the others planned to do. They must be mad! Even the thought of going there was enough to send chills up their spines.

Yang Jing pursed his mouth and asked, “Aren’t you all acting a little…rashly?”

“Think twice! The first dimension has been completely occupied by the Eldritchs and the Origins have been absorbed by them. This kind of power’s absolutely terrifying,” said Goddess Nuwa.

Dragin smiled and said, “Don’t worry. There’s someone we need to rescue over there. Besides, Sister Willow will be coming with us.”

Xiao Chengfeng noticed the glowing willow branch and his pupils shrank suddenly. He said in surprise, “Is this the willow tree from the expert’s backyard?”

“What? Are you for real?!” exclaimed Lord Angel. He clearly remembered that in the fifth dimension, they would have died a thousand times if it were not for the willow branch saving them. Just that fact alone was proof enough of how powerful it was.

Nanan nodded and said, “Yes.”

Cultivator Junjun gritted his teeth and said, “Then, let me go with you if you insist on going to the first dimension.”

“Me, too!” Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes gleamed and he said excitedly, “How can I miss out on all the action? Besides, think of all the bragging rights I could earn from this!”

However, Blackie shook his head. “Have you all forgotten what I said about being a burden? You’ll be helping the enemies if you go with us.”

His reply made the Heavenly Palace people’s heads droop down in shame. ‘Did he have to be so brutally honest?’

“Please, protect the seventh dimension while we’re gone. We’ll be on our way now,” said Qin Manyun.

Then, Blackie and the others looked at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped into the portal together. From a distance, the other onlookers were shocked at what they were seeing.

“Did you see that? The seventh dimension people just entered the portal. Are they seriously going to the first dimension?”

“They’ve gone crazy! Don’t they know that Ancestor Eldritch is there?”

“All their victories must’ve made their heads swell! There’s no doubt they won’t make it out of there alive”

“They should’ve at least come up with a battle plan beforehand! I wonder where they even got such confidence!”

“Sh*t! What should we do if they fail? The Eldritchs will surely come back for us!”

“I gotta say that I’m impressed by their fearlessness and selflessness! I hope they win!”

The crowd’s opinions differed but their worry bound them together.

“Don’t worry, you guys. Their Origins are so great that you can’t even imagine just how powerful they are. With their unparalleled fortune, they’ll surely be able to destroy the Eldritchs and lead the seven dimensions into peace!” said Cultivator Junjun to the crowd.

His words had the intended effect for relief visibly washed over their faces.

“The Origins of the seven dimensions are the root of life. We, the Heavenly Palace, won’t forgive anyone who joins Heaven and all its conspiracies behind it!” warned Yang Jing solemnly.

Hearing this, the crowd began to swear after one another that they would not have anything to do with Heaven.

Meanwhile, in the first dimension, there were only a few skilled fighters stationed at their stronghold since most of the troops had been deployed. With Guhui poisoned, the Eldritchs needed to conquer their enemies as fast as possible.

Guhui was sitting in the grand hall, waiting quietly for news from the battlefield. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked in the direction of the portal in surprise. “Why are they back so soon?”

“Ancestor Eldritch, something bad has happened!” Gu Chen came back like a bereaved dog with the few remaining Eldritchs. They looked miserable with injuries on their bodies. Some Eldritchs had not even recovered from Qin Manyun’s Guqin—they were looking at everything in a dazed manner as if their Dao Hearts had collapsed.

“The seventh dimension’s too evil. We lost against them!” Gu Chen roared miserably, his voice reverberating in the first dimension. Hearing this, all the color drained out of everyone’s faces.

“What happened?” asked Guhui calmly as he appeared where they were. He found it hard to believe they were sent back with their tails between their legs when it was only moments ago they entered the portal.

“The seventh dimension’s really weird. Several unparalleled forces appeared and they beat our army senselessly!” sobbed Gu Chen.

“It’s the damn seventh dimension again!” A myriad of expressions flashed across Guhui’s face. All his failures were related to the seventh dimension one way or the other. He was so sick of hearing about them! It was as if they were born to be his archnemesis. Suddenly, his eyes widened. He stared at the wound on Gu Chen’s body in surprise because he could feel an extremely familiar aura from it.

“How did you get the injuries on your body?” he asked.

“They were made by a weird manure fork which contained powerful Origins. It has a weird power that’s preventing my wounds from healing. Also, my head was covered by a manure bucket. That’s why my hair’s a little wet right now,” said Gu Chen abjectly.

Guhui’s eyes widened in horror. He said nothing but his breathing became quicker and quicker. Gu Chen’s wounds were stained with some yellow and white residue, and his head was also covered with a layer of liquid that was giving off a foul smell.

Guhui found the color and the smell familiar. His breath was caught in his throat, suffocating him as his mind went blank. He was steeling himself for the inevitable blow. ‘Manure bucket? Manure fork? What have I been eating all this time?’
