Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1528: Chapter 810: Battle, Part 2

As the raindrops fell, they transformed into ice needles, targeting the entire area indiscriminately.

”Impressive technique!” Li Shiming couldn’t help but marvel. Such large-scale and powerful spells don’t fit within the standard spell system; they are the results of a Great Cultivator at the peak level developing rules to a certain extent and deeply developing spells.

Due to his own understanding of rules being still too shallow, he couldn’t deploy large-scale spells of great power like Master Ren Mu.

However, he had his own method of dealing with it, activating ten brains at the same time and triggering ’Thunder Cloud Skill.’

’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ gleamed, and the thunderclouds in the sky became dark as ink, with lightning energy endlessly flickering within the thunderclouds.

The ten ’Thunder Cloud Skills’ were brewing an outbreak, while the flickering lightning energy was also damaging the origin clouds of the spell ’Cloud Dispersal.’

”You have great skills too!” Master Ren Mu likewise exclaimed.

He knew about Li Shiming’s level, even though Li Shiming might have had some fortunate encounters that greatly enhanced his attack power, but the most fundamental rules of a Great Cultivator could not be improved in a short time.

Without mastering the rules to a certain extent, it is impossible to possess the powerful spells unique to a Great Cultivator.

Yet Li Shiming used a different approach: one spell might be inferior, but ten spells could exceed.

His water element flying sword swung again, and countless mists rose from the sea.

He had to thank Li Shiming for choosing a good battlefield, allowing him as a water element Great Cultivator to deploy such water-based magic with significantly reduced difficulty.

At this time, the clouds produced by ’Cloud Dispersal’ had been dispersed by the thunderclouds of the ten ’Thunder Cloud Skills,’ leaving only the thunderclouds in the sky.

The thunderclouds had also brewed enough thunder energy, and bolts of lightning fell towards the ground.

The majority of the lightning headed for Master Ren Mu, who felt the power of the lightning and instantly transformed into a stream of water, casting Water Escape.

Due to the entire area being covered in mist, his Water Escape allowed him to move freely within the mist, making it difficult to find his true body.

The lightning wouldn’t wait for anyone. Without finding the precise target, it indiscriminately struck the mist-covered area.

Upon hitting the mist, the lightning immediately transformed into countless electric sparks within, causing the mist-covered area to flash with scorching white light.

Every bolt of lightning that struck the mist caused an area of dazzling white light to appear, making the entire mist-covered area a luminous body when the lightning was most concentrated.

Li Shiming could actually see Master Ren Mu, using ’Divine Foot Skill,’ a mere mist couldn’t hinder his sight.

He had already seen how Master Ren Mu responded to the lightning attacks, moving continually through the mist, evading the massive lightning from the ’Thunder Cloud Skill,’ and at the most intense moments of lightning, he connected with the sea through the mist.

His ’Thunder Cloud Skill,’ no matter how strong, couldn’t inflict much damage on Master Ren Mu once he was in the sea.

Certainly, if he truly went all out, he still had methods to handle Master Ren Mu.

But this time, he wanted to engage in direct combat with Master Ren Mu using Thunder Cultivator techniques, without intending to use other methods; it was a test of his combat power.

Moreover, he had a favorable impression of Master Ren Mu, without any intention of killing him, which was most important of all.

Standing in the void, ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ kept flashing, and he continuously cast ’Thunder Fall Skill,’ this time activating multiple brains to alternately cast ’Thunder Fall Skill.’

Each ’Thunder Fall Skill’ was performed with the enhancement of Shenxiao Thunder Pearl from the machine room space.

’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ continuously shot out lightning, and this single-target attack lightning was more powerful and easier to control compared to the lightning from ’Thunder Cloud Skill.’

Master Ren Mu felt the power of ’Thunder Cloud Skill’ diminish, sensing that ’Thunder Cloud Skill’ was about to end.

He cast Water Escape, returning to the air above the sea, but immediately met with a bolt of lightning.

Fortunately, there was mist all around, that needed no condensation, and a shield transformed from seawater appeared in front of him.

Still not assured, he added two more water-made shields.

With a ’boom,’ the shield enhanced with water rules was easily destroyed, not just one, but all three shields were broken.

Still maintaining Water Escape, sensing trouble, he quickly evaded within the mist.

While weaving through the mist, more lightning attacks came, forcing him to evade once more.

After evading the attacks from ’Thunder Fall Skill’ three times, he felt the struggle.

Without options, he cast Water Escape once again, returning to the sea, where lightning continued to fall above the sea, its power penetrating the water, attacking his Water Escape figure.

Fortunately, seawater has a significant impact on lightning, causing the lightning to disperse within the sea, unable to attack too deeply.

Li Shiming stopped the attack, looking at Master Ren Mu in the sea, realizing the battle could no longer continue.

Master Ren Mu was too evasive, would Li Shiming really need to use Divine Foot Skill to reach him at speeds far surpassing Water Escape, and then cast ’Chaos Sword Intent’ upon him?

”Let’s not fight anymore; I concede!” Master Ren Mu straightforwardly voiced, acknowledging the dishonor of his tactic, using Spiritual Power Pattern to transmit his concession.

”Then, let’s stop fighting!” Li Shiming agreed, putting away the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer.’

At a distance, watching the battle, Master Liu Ziyun was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.

Though the battle between the two Great Cultivators wasn’t long, both displayed immense combat power; he feared he couldn’t withstand any single strike.

Especially Li Shiming’s strength, far exceeding his expectations.

He had always thought Li Shiming was strong, but somewhat inferior to Peak Great Cultivator Ren Mu.

Yet today, discovering the battle between Li Shiming and Master Ren Mu ended with Ren Mu conceding.

If this news spread, it would likely shock the entire cultivation world.

Additionally, with Li Shiming in Ten Thousand Beast Sect, there will be no trouble in controlling the largest shares of resources on Dongqi Continent.

With the combat power of a Peak Great Cultivator, Ten Thousand Beast Sect qualifies to enjoy the largest share of resources on Dongqi Continent.

”Looks like I need to quickly send over the traded resources; it’s important to foster a good relationship with Mr. Li, he might possess greater future prospects!” Master Liu Ziyun thought.

Li Shiming’s age was indeed young, even among Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

Yet Li Shiming was already a Great Cultivator, with combat power equal to a Peak Great Cultivator.

From this point, it can be judged that Li Shiming has a higher potential for breaking through to the Mahayana Realm than other Peak Great Cultivators.

The merchant’s nature, naturally invests in the cultivator with the most potential; Li Shiming is the best investment target.

”Mr. Li, your Thunder Skill can truly make Yuqing Sect ashamed!” Master Ren Mu laughed, casually remarking, indifferent to his win or loss.

Throughout his life, Master Ren Mu had experienced too much, and being in a power like Central State Commerce, his tactfulness in dealing with everything was paramount among Peak Great Cultivators.

His thoughts on victory and defeat weren’t strong, valuing forming ties with Li Shiming more.

He too recognized Li Shiming’s potential, as Li Shiming was still only at the early stage of Great Cultivator, yet had this level of combat power; reaching Peak Great Cultivator, perhaps throughout the cultivation world, he could challenge anyone below the Mahayana, including those at Half-step Mahayana.

”Mr. Ren, your control of water elements truly opened my eyes!” Li Shiming also laughed in response.

This battle deeply impacted him, as he truly witnessed the strength of a Peak Great Cultivator.

Previously, he had seen Peak Great Cultivators; because they lacked evenly matched opponents, only simple means were used to handle situations, without exhibiting their strongest abilities.
