Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1023: Chapter 558: Backlash

Great Cultivator Zhao released two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, having remembered the direction of the recent attack, the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ chased in that direction.

This was a dual preparation, if the Nascent Soul Cultivator hidden in the shadows came to investigate, he could handle it himself.

If that Nascent Soul Cultivator was still watching, once the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ found the target, they could deal with it too.

Just after he released the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, the second strike from the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet’s electromagnetic cannon arrived.

To be honest, even now, Great Cultivator Zhao didn’t know the attack method of the Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure, its attack was too sudden, and he didn’t expect it to have a follow-up attack.

He extended his Divine Sense, but couldn’t find the attacking enemy, which generally meant two possibilities.

One, the enemy had some kind of invisibility technique, deceiving his Divine Sense.

In his prime, this would have been impossible, but his current strength has deteriorated dramatically, and his perception is not as keen as before, perhaps some hidden Secret Techniques are beyond his detection.

The second is that the attack was launched from outside his perception range, which was why he released the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’.

’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ can independently seek out enemies, even if the enemy is outside his perception range, they can find and annihilate them.

However, he never expected the attack range of the Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure to be three hundred miles, and that it launched a second attack after a few breaths.

Since the Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure fired by the electromagnetic cannon was incredibly fast, and Great Cultivator Zhao was severely injured, even his Nascent Soul was sealed by Secret Techniques, making it impossible for him to evade the attack, even sensing it.

The Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure struck heavily against his body, his incredibly robust physique, as a Great Cultivator, the Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure couldn’t even break through his skin.

But having been sent flying by the first strike, and now leaning against the wall, the Fourth Grade Conical Magical Treasure hit him without any buffer, his body couldn’t retreat further to mitigate the impact.

No matter how strong his body, the immense impact was fully absorbed by him, triggering his internal injuries once more.

He spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his Nascent Soul and physical injuries were agitated, he was losing control over his injuries.

The previous Secret Technique showed signs of instability, once invalid, the conflict of spiritual power within the Nascent Soul would resume, becoming even more severe.

Greatly unsettled, Great Cultivator Zhao poured his all into driving the Secret Technique, unable to focus on anything else.

The two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ flying out stopped in mid-air.

A furious aura surged from the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, their eyes turning crimson.

The difficulty in controlling the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ lies in that each one requires the cultivator to use soul power for control.

In a normal state, Great Cultivator Zhao could control twelve ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, that was his limit.

But severely injured, he could only control two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ before.

And now, further injured, he couldn’t even control those two.

The ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ is an extremely ferocious spiritual insect, wherever they exist, all life is exterminated.

Even if a cultivator has a contract with the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’, without enough soul power to control, the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ could still become uncontrollable and rampage, attacking all life around.

Even its master could be attacked by the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insect’ in a loss of control.

The two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ were released with the order to search for a cultivator in a certain direction.

But Li Shiming and the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet were three hundred miles away from Great Cultivator Zhao, it’s likely even he didn’t expect that a cultivator would forge a treasure capable of ultra-long-range attack from three hundred miles away and still maintain such terrifying power.

There are treasures capable of ultra-long-range attack, but with greater distances, the power usually diminishes significantly.

At a distance of three hundred miles, even a Sword Cultivator giving their all, using Secret Techniques to concentrate their Sword Intent, could not achieve such powerful force at such a range.

Only by setting up a large array in advance, which would need to cover a range of three hundred miles, could such ultra-long-range attack be achieved.

Therefore, the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, receiving the command, didn’t find the enemy upon flying out, and at this time, Great Cultivator Zhao had troubles, losing control of the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’.

The two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ reverted to their nature, searching for and destroying all life around.

But in this area, the only worthy target for the ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ to choose as their attack priority was Great Cultivator Zhao himself.

Li Shiming and the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet were too far away, three hundred miles meant the two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ couldn’t detect them.

The two ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’ didn’t care about who the master was, this was the most terrifying backlash from cultivating spiritual insects.

Great Cultivator Zhao mobilized all his energy, continuously using various Secret Techniques, trying to once again suppress his internal injuries.
