Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1541 - 817: Great Battle

The Mountain Treasure, a top-grade fourth-grade artifact owned by Yan Gao Great Cultivator, rocketed upward into the heavens, leaving Yan Gao Great Cultivator stunned and even catching Master Wang He off guard, both overwhelmed by the astonishing spectacle unfolding before their eyes.

Within the inner domain, the Mountain Treasure ranks among the mightiest artifacts, harnessing its unmatched mass to crush and subdue Cultivators.

Breaking free from the Mountain Treasure's lockdown can be done through several methods, like darting away with rapid speed to slip out of its reach, disrupting the caster's incantation prior to its release, or adopting a evasive posture right from the start to evade easy targeting by the Mountain Treasure.

Yet, clashing head-on with the Mountain Treasure through raw might is definitely not one of them; pitting strength against strength demands a blow surpassing the Mountain Treasure's own force to succeed.

"What sort of monster is that?" Yan Gao Great Cultivator soon regained his composure, blurting out in disbelief.

Even knowing it was a late-stage Golden Corpse, whose lineage produced such a ferocious late-stage Golden Corpse, one strong enough to smash aside the Mountain Treasure controlled by a Peak Earth Element Cultivator?

"Mr. Yan, you deal with them, while I take on Master Wang!" Li Shiming burst into laughter and declared.

After the first clash confirmed the formidable might of the five late-stage Golden Corpses, he confidently left Yan Gao Great Cultivator to face off against the five late-stage Golden Corpses.

"Mr. Li, let's see if your grasp of the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture' holds up!" Master Wang He uttered gravely.

Meanwhile, Yan Gao Great Cultivator couldn't spare a moment to reply to Li Shiming, as the five late-stage Golden Corpses closed in rapidly, driving him back far away.

The pace of the late-stage Golden Corpses exceeded what he expected, forcing him to summon earth barriers in their path nonstop while pulling back.

Still, these barriers proved ineffective, since the walls raised by a Peak Earth Element Cultivator infused them with traces of Earth Element Rule Power; though minimal, this essence could trap ordinary Great Cultivators without escape.

A mere swing from the iron hammer artifact they gripped demolished the earth walls effortlessly; the scant Earth Element Rule Power inside failed to resist the combined might of the 'Power Rule Imprint' and 'Speed Rule Imprint' applied to the late-stage Golden Corpses, unleashing devastating destruction.

A faint shimmer danced across Yan Gao Great Cultivator's form, triggering the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Skills to twist the iron hammer artifact's path and hinder the Golden Corpses' momentum.

The iron hammer artifact truly suffered under the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Skills' pull, as though ensnared in a tangle of invisible threads.

That said, the late-stage Golden Corpses didn't halt completely, merely slowing their advance; drawing on their vast strength, they pressed onward, defying the binding force of the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Power Field.

Yan Gao Great Cultivator's life-bound artifact, the Mountain Treasure, floated back into the sky, this round not crashing down but generating a gravity zone to weigh heavier on the five late-stage Golden Corpses.

All his techniques only dragged the five late-stage Golden Corpses' velocity down to match his own, but they kept chasing him relentlessly.

His sole recourse lay in occasionally throwing up earth walls or rock puppets and similar tactics to obstruct the late-stage Golden Corpses.

Dealing serious damage to the late-stage Golden Corpses demanded more time than he had; he had to bide his moment, convinced that the late-stage Golden Corpses would soon expose a weakness.

The fight between Yan Gao Great Cultivator and his foes settled into a deadlock, where neither could dominate the other anytime soon.

The five late-stage Golden Corpses boasted incredible melee prowess and ample quickness, yet Yan Gao Great Cultivator's countermeasures dulled their speed, blocking any solid melee assault.

For his part, Yan Gao Great Cultivator found his mightiest strikes hampered by the late-stage Golden Corpses' ironclad defenses, lacking the buildup time to pierce through.

Opposite him, Li Shiming faced Master Wang He; neither struck first, instead steadily gathering Thunder Energy.

Li Shiming held back, opting for a straightforward strategy with little mental strain, planning to confront Master Wang He in standard fashion during this showdown.

This presented a precious chance to observe the authentic fighting style of a fellow Peak Great Cultivator versed in the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture'.

He aimed to spot his own weaknesses by studying Master Wang He's moves.

After all, Master Wang He had truly inherited the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture', while Li Shiming only held a Jade Scroll outlining experiences and understandings related to the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture'.

The legacies they obtained differed vastly; without Li Shiming's access to Half-Life Cave Heaven and his insights into Thunder Rules' creation there, his version of the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture' would fall short of a genuine Thunder Cultivator's.

"Thunder!" Master Wang He bellowed, at last launching his assault.

Rather than unleashing broad-area Thunder and Lightning Magic, he opted for the focused 'Thunder Fall Skill', bolstered by the built-up Thunder Energy to deliver overwhelming force.

Given the blistering pace of single-target Thunder and Lightning Magic, foes found it nearly impossible to sidestep once it fired.

Unless countered with a matching Lightning Technique like Electric Evasion.

Li Shiming's body shifted into Electric Evasion, veering aside to evade, then flicked his hand to summon the 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer' and unleash a 'Thunder Fall Skill' toward Master Wang He.

Master Wang He detected the incoming thunderbolt's intensity and instantly executed Electric Evasion, his form dissolving into a streak of electric light as he vanished from his spot.
