A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World - Chapter 336: An Inevitable Fate.

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: An Inevitable Fate.

Li Feng’s eyes flew open with a sharp gasp.

“What… kind of future was that?”

He clutched his chest, feeling a strange sense of disconnect and unease lingering in his heart.

Then he turned to the immortal responsible for showing him that bizarre glimpse.

As if she had been expecting his intense, questioning gaze, ’Wei Zhenxin’ smiled slightly.

“That is the future… the end of that senior sister of yours.”

Seeing the disbelief on Li Feng’s face, she continued calmly.

“Or… one of the many possible futures.”

She pointed at him.

“It may change depending on your actions from now on.”

Immortal Jiuming had already come to a conclusion.

Li Feng was undoubtedly an anomaly as the future around him was not fixed.

While waiting for him to wake from the vision, she had secretly tried divining the fates of more people connected to him.

And each attempt revealed a slightly different outcome.

In one future, he was an old man who died of old age without ever advancing his cultivation.

In another, he became a shining genius of the Azure Moon Sect and eventually rose to become its leader.

There was even a vision where he turned into a demonic cultivator so terrifying that even the entire demonic path feared him.

No matter who she divined or how many times she tried, the results were always different… chaotic and ever changing.

In all her long years, she had never encountered such a strange and unpredictable phenomenon.

’…There must be something external interfering with the order of karma surrounding this man…’

Li Feng frowned at her words, feeling a slight wave of relief.

“So it’s basically just possibilities? Damn, that really scared me.”

“No.”

’Wei Zhenxin’ cut him off, her gaze steady as she looked at him.

“For you, they are possibilities. But for that Yue Lan… it is her absolute future.”

Li Feng looked confused by her cryptic words.

’Wei Zhenxin’ continued calmly.

“What I divined was Yue Lan’s future… not yours.”

“…What do you mean?”

Li Feng felt like his brain was about to explode.

The more he listened, the more confused he became.

At this point, he had learned one clear thing about immortals… they were far too cryptic.

They spoke as if they knew everything and expected others to understand their words with the same clarity, while the listener was left completely lost.

But then Wei Zhenxin suddenly frowned, glancing down at her own hand.

“It seems my time has come…”

She looked back at Li Feng and smiled gently.

“I cannot possess this form any longer. While I still have a little time left, I must take my leave.”

At her words, Li Feng stared at her, dumbfounded, then shouted,

“Hey! Don’t go without explaining properly!”

But ’Wei Zhenxin’ just ignored his protest.

She slashed at the empty air, creating a strange, shimmering crack in space.

Slowly, she began walking toward it.

Just before stepping through, she turned back to Li Feng and murmured one last reminder.

“You should… properly go back to your senior sister.”

“Huh?”

With those words, Wei Zhenxin disappeared, vanishing into the rift and leaving Li Feng alone with even more questions than answers.

“What exactly is going on…?”

Li Feng stood frozen in place, his mind overwhelmed with questions.

First, there was the strange version of Yue Lan who seemed like a completely different person.

Then there was the future version of himself who seem to had fled and returned after two hundred years just to end her life.

From the conversation he had overheard between them, everything seemed to point back to this secret realm.

But what exactly?

He had already eliminated the obvious threats, and the secret realm was supposed to end soon.

It should have been impossible for anything to happen to Yue Lan while he was still here.

Was there something or someone he was still missing…?

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Li Feng’s eyes suddenly widened.

“…No. Maybe there was another threat hiding in the shadows all along.”

A chill ran down his spine at that thought.

It wasn’t just the existence of a patient mastermind that frightened him.

What truly unsettled him was the realization that this hidden enemy must have been powerful enough to defeat him… or at least the future version of himself from the vision.

Before he could think any further, a violent fluctuation of power suddenly erupted from Yue Lan’s direction.

Li Feng’s head snapped toward it.

For some reason, the memory of that vision suddenly resurfaced in his mind, sending a chill through his chest.

His heart tightened with unease, and his expression slowly darkened.

Without hesitation, he exploded forward, rushing back at full speed.

BOOM!

Like a comet tearing through the forest, his figure destroyed everything in its path and the closer he got, the heavier and more sinister the air became.

He even noticed that familiar black, viscous liquid everywhere as it had already begun seeping into the ground, spreading like dark veins beneath the surface.

’What the hell…?’

A terrible premonition gripped his heart at this sight.

Li Feng pushed his strength to the limit and shot forward.

BOOM!!!

He arrived at the battlefield like a falling star, his figure crashing into the ground with terrifying force, sending dust and debris exploding in all directions.

As the dust churned and billowed, he swept it aside with a flick of his hand and lifted his head…

….Only for his eyes to widen in shock at the scene before him.

The battlefield was littered with countless corpses… both clad in the uniforms of demonic and righteous cultivators alike.

A few were still barely alive, faint groans slipping past their lips as they writhed in agony, their bodies broken and drenched in blood.

Jian Ruyi, Shui Ruo, and Tie Shan lay collapsed among them, seriously injured.

Their figures soaked crimson as their breaths shallow and uneven.

None of them move as their eyes were all fixed in one direction, while filled with undisguised horror.

“Ah… you’re back?”

A familiar yet twisted voice echoed through the blood-soaked air.

“Tch… I wasn’t done preparing our reunion gift.”

Li Feng’s eyes widened the moment he saw Yan Moxuan… the man who was supposed to be dead.

But he had changed… drastically as his body was no longer human.

Crimson lines ran across his muscular frame like pulsing veins, writhing as they converged toward his eyes.

And a pair of sharp, blood red horns jutted from his head, while his long black hair have now turn completely blood red.

From behind him unfurled a pair of massive, tattered wings that seem to be formed from coagulated blood as a suffocating, malevolent aura clung to him like a calamity.

Beside him floated that strange light, the same one that had fallen from the sky.

But what truly shock Li Feng… was the sight of Yan Moxuan’s hand clamped tightly around Yue Lan’s throat.

“Let her go, you bastard!!”

Li Feng roared with fury and activated [Star Ignition] without the slightest hesitation.

BOOM!!

A brilliant silvery light erupted across his body as the hundred stars within him doubled in an instant, surging to a terrifying two hundred.

CRACK!

CRACK!

The surrounding ground groaned under the immense pressure.

And even the air itself compressed, trembling violently as his aura spiraled out of control.

Then—

BOOM!!

His figure blurred as he shot forward with tyrannical force, tearing through the battlefield like a streak of silver lightning.

But without warning—

Black liquid beneath the earth suddenly erupted in violent waves, surging upward to form a thick, towering wave that blocked his path.

“!?”

SPLASH!!

Li Feng’s silvery figure slammed heavily into the black tide, the impact sending ripples across its viscous surface as it swallowed his momentum whole.

Yan Moxuan sneered at the sight.

“It seems this woman is quite important to you, huh? That won’t do, Li Feng.”

He lifted Yue Lan higher.

She struggled desperately, her fingers clawing at the iron-like grip around her throat but it didn’t budge.

Blood slowly trickled from the corner of her lips, her breaths growing weaker with each passing second.

Yan Moxuan looked at her with cold contempt, as if staring at something insignificant and disgusting.

“We geniuses… the truly strong… shouldn’t be swayed by such weakness.”

His grip tightened.

“The strong don’t need these kinds of feelings, Li Feng…so let me help you get rid of this burden…”

“You dare, bastard!!”

Li Feng roared, his voice tearing through the battlefield as he hurled himself against the black liquid with everything he had.

BOOM!

BOOM!!

Each impact sent violent ripples through the viscous wave but it held firm.

Worse, the more he struggled, the more the black substance coiled around him, clinging like a living swamp, dragging at his limbs, swallowing his momentum, refusing to let him break through.

’What the hell with this thing!?’

Li Feng also realized something was wrong.

The black liquid… it was different from the one he had seen inside that temple.

For a split second, a cold sneer flashed across his face as he prepared to unleash his Falling Star Fist and strike the ground.

But then, he froze.

His gaze swept across the battlefield.

Scattered everywhere were heavily injured disciples… some of them barely clinging to life, too close to withstand the shockwaves of his attack.

His jaw tightened at this.

Everything seemed to be working against him at this moment.

But there was no time to hesitate and no time to think.

He gritted his teeth and relied purely on raw strength instead.

“Get out of my way!!”

He clawed forward frantically, silver light erupting from his body as he forced his way through the viscous wave.

Each movement was violent, unrestrained like a beast forcing itself through a collapsing world.

The viscous black wave groaned under the pressure.

And it worked as bit by bit, the wave of black liquid began to crack under his overwhelming force.

He was close.

Just one more second and he would break free…

But in the world of the strong…

…A single moment was often as long as eternity.

Yan Moxuan completely ignored Li Feng’s roar.

He slowly turned his attention back to Yue Lan, his expression calm, almost bored.

“I wonder why everyone is so obsessed with you…” he muttered, almost to himself.

“But I don’t need to know.”

Yue Lan struggled weakly in his grip, her strength fading.

Her eyes trembled but they were still clear.

Then—

“…Your death will benefit many.”

With a swift, merciless strike, he pierced straight through Yue Lan’s heart with his hand… just as Li Feng had once pierced his.

SPURT!!

Time seemed to freeze as Li Feng’s eyes widened to their limit as the scene unfolded before him.

And yet…

Even in that final moment, she looked at him.

She was… smiling.

Through the pain…through the fading light in her eyes, she smiled gently… like she was trying to tell him something important.

Her lips moved but no sound reached him.

…Only silence.

And then—

A crimson system notification exploded in front of his vision.

[Ding!]

[Warning!]

[Host’s Favor Target: Yue Lan… has died!]
