Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 903: Chapter 498: Execution

The eleven Golden Core cultivators, filled with excitement and anticipation, approached the area of the Thunder Tribulation, all contemplating that once the tribulation was over, any spiritual objects within, having endured the lightning, would be at their weakest state.

At that time, they could seize the spiritual objects and achieve the most crucial opportunity of their lives.

They exchanged a glance, a hint of caution flashing in their eyes; the moment the Heavenly Thunder ended, would be the moment they competed against each other.

”Scram!” Li Shiming shouted in a deep voice.

His ’Telepathy’ had been active, allowing him to sense the greed of the eleven Golden Core cultivators outside.

For these weaklings, he did not intend to slaughter them all.

He activated ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’, combining it with the Sound Wave Technique to emit this shout.

Had it not been for the distance between the eleven Golden Core cultivators and him, the mental attack power of ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’ would have been enough to cause their instant demise.

Yet, even at such a distance, the attack, a combination of spiritual and sound wave energy, caused the eleven Golden Core cultivators to change their expressions dramatically, just from the residual shockwave beyond its attack range.

”Pfft,” more than half of the Golden Core cultivators immediately coughed up blood, while those who didn’t appeared deathly pale.

”Flee quickly!” the eleven Golden Core cultivators cried out in terror, frantically escaping towards the distance.

No longer was there greed, only fear and shock.

A single voice had inflicted injury upon all eleven Golden Core cultivators, far exceeding their imagination.

Li Shiming paid no attention to the fleeing Golden Core cultivators; at this point, a hundred and sixty bolts of Heavenly Thunder had already fallen. Soon, all the Flowing Light Star Meteor flying sword artifacts could survive the tribulation.

The Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent he manifested was shining like the sun. If one peered through the glaring electric light, they could see countless mysterious runes moving inside the sword shadow of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent.

These mysterious runes were incorporated one by one as each bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck, continuously enhancing the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent.

”Why are they still coming after me?” One part of Li Shiming’s mind kept track of the three Great Elders pursuing him. He thought distancing them far would at least allow him to complete the artifact tribulation for his one hundred and eighty-one Flowing Light Star Meteor flying sword artifacts.

Yet the three Great Elders were still heading towards him, their speed vastly superior to that of drone satellites.

Only upon arriving did he release another drone satellite; without a fully operational drone satellite system, it would have been impossible to detect the approaching Great Elders.

The ability of the three Great Elders to track him over such a distance suggested a particular reason.

Li Shiming inspected himself, convinced that if a cultivator had set a tracking mark on him, he would have noticed it, especially one set by a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

He had previously discovered positioning marks set by Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners on other cultivators. After that experience, his natal artifact, the IBMz15, enhanced monitoring for such marks.

”It’s the Identity Jade Disc!” He thought for a moment and identified the cause of the leak.

He had forgotten that the sect’s Identity Jade Disc could be used for tracking, having encountered such situations on the Beishu Continent before.

Cultivators who could use formations to trace the Identity Jade Disc would not have a low status in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

As he endured the Heavenly Thunder, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Originally, he had no intention of killing the three Great Elders; however, since they sought their own deaths, he would not hesitate.

After the one hundred and seventy-fifth bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended, his Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent reached a bottleneck; no matter how many more bolts fell, they no longer enhanced the Sword Intent.

With one hundred and ninety bolts of Heavenly Thunder falling, the last Flowing Light Star Meteor had also undergone tribulation, elevated to a flying sword artifact surpassing third rank might.

Recently, he crafted one hundred and eighty-one Flowing Light Star Meteors, combined with nine semi-finished Flowing Light Star Meteors from before, making a total of one hundred and ninety Flowing Light Star Meteors.

Beside him, these one hundred and ninety Flowing Light Star Meteor flying sword artifacts hovered, exuding a cold gleam into the void.

He could clearly feel each Flowing Light Star Meteor resonating with his mind. Without needing much refining, all of these one hundred and eighty-one Flowing Light Star Meteors, being personally crafted, were naturally in a one hundred percent refined state.

”What was with that Heavenly Thunder?” a Great Elder asked in confusion, observing the dissipating thunderclouds in the distance.

That direction was precisely where Master Li was located. Truthfully, if it weren’t for strict instructions from above, he wouldn’t wish to deal with an Alchemy Master.

Given Master Li’s current reputation in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, if matters were exposed as being against Master Li, even his superior could not protect him.

”That aura is from a Golden Core Level Tribulation; could it be that Master Li’s Spiritual Pet is undergoing tribulation?” another Great Elder frowned and asked.

He was well aware from the intelligence reported that Master Li’s Illusion Spirit Jiao Spiritual Pet was incredibly powerful, making it the biggest nuisance for their mission this time.

”Even if Master Li has another Spiritual Pet that has passed tribulation, what of it? It’s merely just promoted to a third-rank Spiritual Pet, it can’t be that formidable!” the last Great Elder said with a smile.
