Chunibyo in Cultivation World

”Why does it feel like there’s something there!”

At this moment, the accumulated stray thoughts that had gathered all their strength to completely corrupt Li Tianwei’s Spirit Platform finally made it tremble slightly under their desperate assault.

And with that tremor, the Dao Foundation that Li Tianwei had forged beneath it began to swirl as well.

The mark of the three-petaled circular fan emitted a red light—strange, violent, and compressed—as if boundless energy erupted forth, instinctively resisting the corruption.

Crack—

With just one counterattack, the mass of spiritual energy tainted by stray thoughts shattered instantly.

Even in that moment, it hadn’t understood what had just happened.

Finally, Li Tianwei felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind.

”As expected of the Land of Near Dao—cultivating here even my Dao Heart has become much clearer.”

”Come on, let’s evolve the Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend. By then, with one hand imprisoning the heavens and the other ending them, I’ll crush those minor devils with ease.”

”As expected, I crossed over just to suppress all enemies—with Prison Heaven and Heaven-Ending, I’ll make them gasp for air beneath my might.”

As Li Tianwei continued his evolution, the commotion grew louder and louder.

On the outskirts of the mountain forest, two demonic cultivators were rushing over.

In their eyes, the disturbance erupting from that mountaintop could only mean one thing—the birth of a Demonic Treasure, or the descent of a spiritual artifact of heaven and earth.

As for whether someone might be cultivating—being demonic cultivators themselves, how could they not know what the signs of cultivation looked like? Could there really be someone who understood the spiritual energy of demonic lands better than they did?

To cause such a massive upheaval of spiritual energy and generate endless grievance force—and you tell me someone is simply cultivating?

Even if there were such a person, no cultivator in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm would recklessly cultivate so openly without precautions.

After all, demonic cultivators had no such things as righteousness or virtue.

If you didn’t hide yourself, you became a target.

Who knew—perhaps a more powerful cultivator passing by needed your head to forge a magical artifact? If you acted so arrogantly, wouldn’t that just be an invitation?

Lin Yexiao stared excitedly at the phenomenon of spiritual energy surging toward the distant peak.

His heart burned with exhilaration—he had always aspired since childhood to become a great figure of the demonic path.

Now, though he had reached the Golden Core Realm, it had consumed all of his foundations.

The omen of a demonic treasure’s birth rekindled his hope.

Without hesitation, he flew toward the mountaintop.

He then glanced at the figure beside him and felt a pang of regret.

To make completing his mission easier, he had partnered with another cultivator.

Otherwise, now that the demonic treasure was about to appear, he would have been the only one to discover it.

Still, it didn’t matter—Lin Yexiao planned to deal with that soon enough.

That demonic treasure would belong to him alone.

Thus, the two of them arrived at the scene where spiritual energy was surging violently, the entire area twisting with bizarre shadows and distorted demonic auras.

However, when they arrived, the treasure they had imagined did not appear.

Instead, what they found was Li Tianwei, just awakening from his cultivation.

Li Tianwei had only just finished evolving the Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend.

Although it hadn’t yet reached the level of a Divine Ability, its power had doubled, and it now possessed a trace of spirituality, slightly enhancing the Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend’s potency.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes, two demonic cultivators appeared before him.

Compared to Li Tianwei, Lin Yexiao and Zang Xiuyuan, upon seeing that the one who had caused such a massive surge of spiritual energy was merely Li Tianwei, exchanged glances.

As Golden Core cultivators, they instantly discerned Li Tianwei’s realm—Foundation Establishment.

They could tell because Li Tianwei himself wasn’t concealing his strength.

Although he had learned the Divine Concealment and Breath-Stilling Technique, at his current level, there was little need to hide.

In the cultivation world, Foundation Establishment cultivators were as common as clouds.

That technique mainly concealed the aura of his Dao Intent.

In the entire area, only Li Tianwei was present.

In Lin Yexiao’s eyes, this could only mean that the demonic treasure had been taken by him.

The only choice before them now was clear—kill and seize the treasure.

”Brat, hand over the thing immediately, or else...”

Without hesitation, Lin Yexiao and Zang Xiuyuan erupted with the full might of their Golden Core Realm power.

Liquid spiritual energy swirled around them, imbued with the fierce pressure of their cores—it was utterly savage.

Their eyes gleamed with greed and desire, emotions amplified severalfold by the demonic nature of this place.

What they didn’t realize was that as they examined Li Tianwei, he was examining them as well.

From Zang Xiuyuan’s body, Li Tianwei sensed the aura of an Evil Demon.

Because of the nature of Dao Intents and the Resentment Channeling Curse, others couldn’t detect it—but Li Tianwei could, completely.

”Evil Demon—you dare appear before me? Courting death!”

Li Tianwei didn’t even bother to respond further.

In his heart, there was only one burning conviction—to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.

Li Tianwei’s sudden roar left Lin Yexiao slightly confused—he didn’t understand what this “Evil Demon” talk was about.

Zang Xiuyuan, beside him, also appeared momentarily puzzled, but a faint glint flashed in his eyes, and his demeanor subtly changed.

”Senior Brother Lin, let’s capture him first and question him later!”

Suppressing his inner agitation, Zang Xiuyuan quickly addressed Lin Yexiao.

Immediately, the two formed hand seals, sneering at Li Tianwei, mocking his audacity—merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Yet just as they prepared to strike, an inexplicable chill seized their hearts.

The next moment, a horrifying scene unfolded before their eyes, freezing them in place.

A surge of dense black qi burst forth—utterly yin, utterly evil, filled with pure malice and condensed Yin Fiend energy.

It erupted in an instant, engulfing the entire heaven and earth.

The previously clear sky darkened immediately.

Without hesitation, Li Tianwei unleashed the evolved Heaven-Ending Yin Fiend.

Billowing resentment surged to the heavens, and waves of Yin Fiend energy rolled like dark clouds—demonic flames soaring skyward.

Such venomous and strange energy made both men’s hearts tremble.

”This demonic aura… this evil intent… this grievance… how powerful! The Demonic Dao itself can be no greater than this!”

As he felt the aura radiating from Li Tianwei, Lin Yexiao’s heart quivered—not with fear, but with excitement.

At that moment, it was as though he beheld the ultimate Demonic Path he had always longed for.

What Nascent Soul elders or Spirit Transformation experts had he met that possessed such overwhelming demonic might?

At this moment, Lin Yexiao had but one thought—this was the true Demonic Path!

”Senior’s bearing truly makes me…”

With a thud, Lin Yexiao dropped to his knees, trembling with excitement, his eyes filled with fervent supplication as he looked up at Li Tianwei.

”Senior, senior! Please accept me—I am willing to cultivate this Demonic Path alongside you! I have long aspired to become a great figure of the demonic way, and what you display… it truly makes me…”

Lin Yexiao prostrated himself, trembling with fervor, his voice and expression so earnest that not a trace of falsehood could be discerned.

As for Zang Xiuyuan—the Evil Demon—seeing Lin Yexiao’s actions, then glancing again at the demonic flames raging behind Li Tianwei, he began to think Lin Yexiao’s words might actually make sense.

Such reverence and flattery—perhaps it could indeed save his life.

But why… did that face of his suddenly look so dark?
