Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 503: Chapter 298: Annihilation of the Infant (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

The distance of thirty miles, with the speed of the False Infant, would take no more than a dozen breaths to reach.

However, halfway there, the False Infant suddenly came to a halt.

Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant was unable to sense the existence of its original body; when the Nascent Soul Emerges, it attaches the soul to the Nascent Soul, leaving the original body an empty shell.

He relied on the special connection between the False Infant and the body, which enabled him to lock onto the position of his body.

Not being able to sense the body could mean only one thing: the body was destroyed.

Supervisor Feng Yi’s one-inch tall False Infant let out an angry roar towards the sky, his resentment having reached an uncontrollable level.

He wasn’t a true Nascent Soul Ancestor; the False Infant had many disadvantages, including not being able to attain the lifespan that should be afforded to a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and the inability for the False Infant to seize another body again.

Because he took a shortcut at the time of Nascent Soul formation, forcibly creating a False Infant, the False Infant was an imperfect Nascent Soul and naturally lost many functions of a true Nascent Soul.

Having stopped to let out his roar took Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant two breaths, but he soon calmed down; his priority was to find out who had tampered with his body.

He would grind to dust the cultivator who destroyed his body, yet that would hardly quench the hatred searing his heart.

With over four hundred years of cultivation, though his prospects dimmed after walking the path of the False Infant, he could use the connections of the Skywalk Trading Company, leveraging vast wealth to exchange for the fourth-grade ‘Red Infant Ginseng Fruit’, showing how much he treasured life.

The terror of life and death is great, and the cultivator who destroyed his body cut short his life prematurely.

Although he still possessed the False Infant, even if protected by the vestment robe and magical treasures, it could not exist long in the daylight.

It was not a matter of simply finding shade to avoid sunlight for preservation; during the day, the intensity of the Gang wind increased significantly. A real Nascent Soul could withstand it, but a False Infant would continually deplete its very essence in such conditions.

It could be said that Supervisor Feng Yi was now at his wits’ end, focusing solely on seeking revenge, to kill the cultivator who had destroyed his body.

After a few breaths, the False Infant arrived at the original location of the body, where the fourth-grade Array Plate had also disappeared along with his body.

The False Infant unleashed its extremely sensitive perception and quickly sensed an obscure aura.

Without the slightest hesitation, it pursued that faint trace.

Li Shiming’s ‘Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique’ was indeed remarkable, but it still wasn’t enough before the False Infant, whose trail was easily discovered.

Supervisor Feng Yi believed that unless the cultivator was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, they could not escape his pursuit.

Because the speed of the False Infant was only slightly slower than that of a Nascent Soul. Unless a Nascent Soul Ancestor refrained from Nascent Soul Emergence, they could not match the speed of the emerging False Infant.

It goes without saying that the speed of an emergent False Infant is unparalleled beneath the Nascent Soul, and a Nascent Soul Ancestor in a normal state would find it challenging to compete.

But Supervisor Feng Yi could not have anticipated that Li Shiming was using ‘Step by Step Lotus’, which belonged to ‘Divine Foot Skill’—it was not considered a flying secret technique but was instead a more profound Divine Skill, the fastest method of movement in the world.

Although Li Shiming only had a rudimentary grasp of the ‘Divine Foot Skill’s’ ‘Step by Step Lotus’, he was still slightly faster than the False Infant.

However, Li Shiming would not be able to shake off Supervisor Feng Yi’s pursuit in a moment, as the False Infant followed the trace, lagging by merely ten miles behind Li Shiming.

Because Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant harbored not the slightest concealed killing intent, Li Shiming ahead sensed the danger.

Li Shiming exerted his full strength using ‘Step by Step Lotus’, initiating a prolonged airborne chase between the two, with one escaping and the other pursuing.

At this moment, he regretted not keeping the ‘Constriction Ring’ for himself and giving it to his incarnation, Li Yuanba, instead. He had assumed his original body would be safer, while Li Yuanba faced great danger.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanba advanced to the Golden Core Stage while he himself had drawn the deadly enmity of the False Infant.

If he had the ‘Constriction Ring’, he could double the distance covered with each use of ‘Step by Step Lotus’, and he was confident he could quickly escape Supervisor Feng Yi’s pursuit.

Li Shiming dared not get too close to Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant, unaware of its precise attack range. He judged by his sense of danger that drawing any closer could make him vulnerable to an attack from the False Infant behind.

The two were in entirely different leagues in terms of strength, and Li Shiming’s sole reliance was on ‘Step by Step Lotus’.

With Li Shiming’s capabilities, should the False Infant draw near, not to mention an attack, even a mere glance from the False Infant would be enough to end his life.

In their chase, Li Shiming’s deployment of the ‘Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique’ allowed him to become invisible in darkness, enabling him to move effortlessly in the night environment.

Meanwhile, the pursuing False Infant, only an inch in size and with flight speed so swift, was especially hard to spot as an energy body.

Even if it flew past Foundation Establishment Cultivators nearby, none would take notice.

Li Shiming chose not to seek help, not for lack of desire, but because the False Infant behind left him no opportunity.

Any slight delay could affect the speed of the ‘Step by Step Lotus’, with most of his mental focus dedicated to its execution, allowing no room for negligence.

Besides, even if he sought assistance from the Shushan Sect, the likelihood of them dispatching a Nascent Soul Ancestor in a short time was exceedingly slim.

Having spent several years within the Shushan Sect, he had encountered its upper echelons and was privy to many of its secrets.
