Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 511: Chapter 302: Silver Corpse

Only by witnessing the strength of the Third Grade Demon Vajra Giant Turtle in person could one understand the terrifying might of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure.

The moment the mountain peak appeared, the space around the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle was locked down, and then the entire mountain descended with an unmatched force.

Let alone He Wei and Liu Gang, who were two Golden Core Early Stage cultivators, even if there were Gold Core Middle and Late Stage Cultivators present, they would be astonished by the might of Ten Thousand Sword Peak.

Of course, Li Yuanba, who stood in the sky, was not having an easy time either. A third of the Spiritual Power in his Golden Core was depleted; the strike from the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure had drawn a third of his spiritual power.

The sensation of such a massive one-time extraction of spiritual power made him extremely uncomfortable.

This was still under the circumstance that he controlled his spiritual power from flowing entirely into the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, not releasing its full might. He guessed that even all the spiritual power in his Golden Core would not suffice to unleash the full power of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure.

With a third of the spiritual power within his Golden Core depleted, his combat strength was reduced by nearly half.

He couldn’t help but shake his head; the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure was indeed great, but using it required extreme caution.

It was best to keep it as a trump card, for the consumption it caused was simply too great, significantly reducing his self-defensive capabilities.

Li Yuanba reached out with his Divine Thought through the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure to sense the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle crushed beneath the mountain; the turtle’s life had vanished, yet its shell remained intact.

The death of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle was not due to being crushed by the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, but rather due to the gravity imposed inside and out by the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, coupled with the Sword Intent from the swords gathered by the treasure infiltrating and destroying the turtle’s innards.

The gravity exerted by the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure acted not only on the outside of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle but also applied gravity to every part of the turtle’s body.

Perhaps the turtle’s shell was hard enough, but the inside of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle’s shell could not possibly possess such astonishing defensive power, not to mention that the turtle’s Earth Attribute defenses were broken the moment the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure descended.

What was more fatal was the Sword Intent. The Sword Intent formed by tens of thousands of flying swords pierced into the belly of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle, forcibly tearing through and damaging its innards.

Of course, only Li Yuanba was aware of these details. Because the area beneath the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure was influenced by the Gravity Field, the Divine Thought of the two cultivators nearby could not probe it. Hence, they only saw the might of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure and were unaware of the specifics.

“This is the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure!” He Wei murmured in amazement.

“Has the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle been killed?” Unable to use Divine Thought to sense the situation, Liu Gang asked aloud.

He was just seeking confirmation, well aware that given the might of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle must surely be dead.

Li Yuanba laughed and, without revealing the weakness inside him from using the Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure, beckoned and retrieved the treasure.

The Ten Thousand Sword Peak Treasure suddenly disappeared from the sea and transformed into a small mountain in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, his Divine Thought lifted the corpse of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle. Although the massive body had lost its life force, a faint earthy yellow light still flickered slightly over it.

“Congratulations, Junior Li, the shell of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle is a high-grade material for crafting defensive magical artifacts!” He Wei said, looking at the corpse of the turtle with undeniable envy.

Even though he had also participated in the battle, he had no intention whatsoever of claiming a share of the spoils.

It was not only the Demon Sect; even in the Righteous Path sects, strength was revered above all. It was all the more reason, given that he had sought help from Li Yuanba, that the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle was entirely Li Yuanba’s kill.

Therefore, while He Wei envied in his heart, he harbored no covetous thoughts. The combat power of Li Yuanba prevented him from harboring other notions.

“Junior Li, may I ask if you have any use for the Demon Core of the Vajra Giant Armored Turtle?” Liu Gang couldn’t hold back and inquired.

“Senior Brother Liu desires the Demon Core?” Li Yuanba glanced indifferently at Liu Gang and asked.

Liu Gang had merely stood by during the recent battle, not lifting a finger. How could he, after witnessing his combat strength, make such an unreasonable request?

It should be noted that the Demon Core of a Third Grade Demon was the main ingredient in crafting Third-grade Spirit Pills, capable of substituting for Third-grade Spiritual Medicine.

However, due to the extreme rarity of Third Grade Demon Cores and the few Golden Core cultivators that could slay Third Grade Demons to obtain them,

Generally, a Third Grade Demon was considered on the same level as Golden Core Stage Cultivators, but Third Grade Demons usually possessed some kind of special Talent Ability. Coupled with the fact that Third Grade Demons had constitutions far exceeding that of Golden Core cultivators, this meant that in terms of combat power, Third Grade Demons were normally stronger than cultivators of the same stage.

Even for the powerful beings among Golden Core cultivators who possessed the strength to conquer Third Grade Demons, slaying one was an exceedingly difficult task.

Thus, on the Beishu Continent, Third Grade Demon Cores were not treated as the primary resource for crafting Third-grade Spirit Pills; instead, the more abundant Third-grade Spiritual Medicine was used.

Of course, Third Grade Demon Cores were not only used for crafting Third-grade Spirit Pills; many Secret Techniques required the use of Third Grade Demon Pills as well.

“Junior Li, the Earth Attribute of the Vajra Giant Turtle aligns perfectly with a Secret Technique I practice, and I wish to trade spiritual objects for this Demon Core!” Liu Gang hastily explained.

His relationship with Li Yuanba was not at the point where such precious spiritual objects could simply be gifted, and his desire for the Demon Core was considered in terms of a trade.

Li Yuanba didn’t really care about the Third Grade Demon’s Demon Core. If he had the Third Grade Demon Core, he would have just made an extra batch of Spirit Pills, and moreover, with the state of his true form, Li Shiming, on the other side, he would not be able to use the Third Grade Demon Core to craft Spirit Pills in the short term.
