Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1519 - 806: Offense and Defense
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming patiently held back until the Taichu Sect's grand formation hit its maximum power, while the seven Great Cultivators inside expanded their figures hugely through their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms, giving the entire array the look of being wrapped in massive armor plating.
His goal was to overpower the foes right at their peak power, the only way to truly demolish their overconfidence.
"Zap!" Suddenly, the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator struck out, sending a compact Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure shooting from his grip.
By tapping into the Taichu Sect’s formation's surge, he boosted the velocity and might of this Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure tremendously, even pushing its striking distance to cover the whole formation's span.
He had anticipated this instant; that Flying Needle Magical Treasure served as his secret weapon, resolving countless issues for him before.
However, what appeared as an incredibly swift Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure to the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator was perfectly visible to Li Shiming.
Although Li Shiming looked at ease, his 'Divine Eye Skill' stayed active nonstop, and his natal magical treasure, IBMz15, kept aiding by scanning, evaluating, and assessing the battle conditions via his divine sense and 'Divine Eye Skill'.
Despite the abrupt launch of the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator’s Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure, Li Shiming spotted it immediately.
"Still too young, with too little battle experience to act so recklessly in fights like this!" The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator mused with smug satisfaction as he observed the Flying Needle Magical Treasure hurtling toward Li Shiming.
But the events that followed nearly caused his jaw to hit the floor in shock.
Li Shiming extended his hand and caught the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure between his fingers.
The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator felt near panic; he had never witnessed a Great Cultivator attempt to seize a magical treasure from an equal-ranked opponent using just bare hands.
After all, magical treasures hold Spiritual Power Patterns and governing rules; clashing them with another treasure might not hurt much, but they deal devastating harm to a Great Cultivator’s body directly.
Even those who practiced body refinement methods would typically only use their physique to deflect same-rank magical treasures, keeping contact time as brief as possible.
In combat, gathering vast internal energy to counter a magical treasure proves unfeasible, and even if doable, threats from the enemy's other strikes demand attention.
Li Shiming grinned, holding the Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure firmly between his digits.
Thanks to training in the 'Heavenly Human Technique', his bodily power had risen to match a Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Magical Treasure. Every practice boosted his form further, and the 'Heavenly Human Technique' for body refinement outshone nearly all elite Body Refining Techniques.
With the 'Divine Eye Skill' revealing the exact trajectory of the Flying Needle Magical Treasure, plus IBMz15 delivering precise timing for his action, all Li Shiming had to do was stretch out at the perfect moment to grasp the Flying Needle Magical Treasure—simple as that.
His fingers glowed subtly with tiny sand-like particles—this represented a reduced version of the 'Sanmei Divine Wind' divine skill, enveloping the tiny Flying Needle Magical Treasure.
The intent was to wipe away the owner's mark from the Flying Needle Magical Treasure, a technique that used very little energy amid the chaos of battle.
The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator's complexion drained of color, as a piercing ache stabbed his mind, the unmistakable rebound from the forced erasure of the owner imprint inside the Flying Needle Magical Treasure.
"Are you alright?" Master Qiao inquired with grave concern.
From that single display by Li Shiming, Master Qiao and every Taichu Sect Great Cultivator felt stunned; Li Shiming's prowess went beyond what they had guessed.
Snatching a magical treasure hurled by a peer-ranked cultivator with his bare hands—this feat prompted Master Qiao to scrutinize Li Shiming’s hand closely, wondering if Li Shiming had mastered Body Refining Techniques pushed to Great Cultivator standards.
Should that hold true, standard magical treasures striking Li Shiming would inflict only minor harm; solely the natal magical treasures from these Great Cultivators could deliver truly effective blows.
The Taichu Sect’s Great Cultivators usually possessed just one Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Magical Treasure, seldom having two—a clear gap when set against major powers.
Observe the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator, who tossed out a Top-Grade Fourth-Grade Flying Needle Magical Treasure so casually, revealing he owned at least two of them.
And this particular White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator ranked as merely average among his sect's Great Cultivators.
"He’s incredibly powerful, avoid launching attacks; stick to defending." The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator advised with resignation once he recovered his wits.
Li Shiming noticed the Taichu Sect’s Great Cultivators holding back from any offensive actions, signaling his turn to act.
"Behold as I shatter this grand formation!" His energy surged dramatically, with fearsome lightning crackling over his frame and surging into the emptiness.
The 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer' released ten beams of light in succession, allowing him to deploy ten 'Thunder Cloud Skills'.
A colossal thundercloud materialized abruptly over the Taichu Sect, rapidly casting the entire sect into gloom and flipping daylight to midnight.
The dread-inducing lightning presence filled every nook of the Taichu Sect, yet Nascent Soul Cultivators endured its pressure thanks to the formation's shield.
Still, those below the Nascent Soul Stage quaked even under the formation's guard from the lightning's aura; battling was out of the question, and restoring their mindset to stability post-fight would prove extremely tough.
"Activate the Thunder Summoning Array!" Master Qiao bellowed his order.
