Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1779 - 936: Control

Li Shiming didn’t expect that the Great Cultivators encircling Li Yuanba this time would force him to use remote control.

If truly left to face alone, Li Yuanba might indeed fall into the hands of these Great Cultivators.

Li Yuanba isn’t incapable of enduring under the attack of the ’Thunder Sound Bell’, but the issue is that the enemy here isn’t just Great Venerable Ming Hai. Under the influence of the ’Thunder Sound Bell’, Li Yuanba has no extra strength to handle other Great Cultivators.

After Li Shiming took over, with a wave of his hand, a late-stage Golden Corpse appeared wearing armor.

This late-stage Golden Corpse’s armor has been completely enhanced to a spiritual treasure level, connecting all components to achieve optimal defensive effect.

The late-stage Golden Corpse held a ’Sun Shooting Bow’, and as soon as it appeared, it drew the bow to condense a long arrow.

There’s also no hiding the quality of the spiritual treasure-level ’Sun Shooting Bow’; this time, Li Shiming is truly ready to start a massacre.

With control of the ’Beidou Formation Map’, as long as these Great Cultivators haven’t broken the formation, if he doesn’t consent, they cannot leave the Beidou Array.

Since becoming the master of the ’Beidou Formation Map’, its spatial restrictions on him have vanished.

This allows him to once again utilize the Divine Foot Skill, making his battles much more flexible.

Activating the ’Inch Distance, Sky’s Edge’, his figure vanished and reappeared fifty meters from Great Venerable Ming Hai.

The reason he didn’t fully close in isn’t that he couldn’t, but because there were five other Great Venerables around Ming Hai forming a defensive battle formation.

If he charged in recklessly, he would face the combined attack from the six Great Venerables.

”How can you possibly withstand the ’Thunder Sound Bell’?” Great Venerable Ming Hai exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing Li Yuanba appear.

As soon as Li Yuanba appeared, he poured more energy into the ’Thunder Sound Bell’, enhancing its power.

However, no matter how much he increased the ’Thunder Sound Bell’s power, it couldn’t shake Li Yuanba in the slightest.

What he didn’t know was that it wasn’t Li Yuanba in front of him, but Li Shiming remotely controlling the body.

Li Yuanba’s soul was resisting the ’Thunder Sound Bell’s attacks, protected by the Xingyi Sword.

Truth be told, the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ is the hardest treasure to defend against because such attacks are extremely rare, leaving few Cultivators knowing how to counteract them.

Generally, once the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ is unleashed, the enemy suffers soul attacks.

Li Shiming didn’t answer Great Venerable Ming Hai’s question. A Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation appeared in his hand, reaching top-level fourth-grade quality.

On the Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation in his hand, ’Chaos Sword Intent’ was condensed, and as he deliberately strengthened it, it transformed into a massive sword of sword intent.

He raised this enormous sword of sword intent, heavily slashing towards the six Great Venerables.

Feeling the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ slashed by Li Yuanba, Great Venerable Ming Hai and the other five Great Venerables chose to defend together; none dared to face it alone, releasing one defensive treasure each to jointly resist the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

At the same time, the late-stage Golden Corpse released by Li Shiming loosened the ’Sun Shooting Bow’.

An arrow shot through the void. Ming Hai’s attention was captured by Li Yuanba’s attack, and he had deployed most of his defenses to block Li Yuanba’s ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

This immensely lowered Great Venerable Ming Hai’s defenses in other directions.

The arrow seemed to appear from nowhere, piercing Great Venerable Ming Hai’s flank, his defense unable to withstand the arrow’s penetration.

The arrow contained the unique Yin Cold Energy of the late-stage Golden Corpse, instantly flooding into Great Venerable Ming Hai’s body.

Great Venerable Ming Hai cultivated the Da Leiyin Temple’s Inheritance Techniques, Supreme Yang and Supreme Firmness, akin to a natural nemesis of all Yin cold energies.

However, the late-stage Golden Corpse’s Yin Cold Energy was by no means weaker than Great Venerable Ming Hai’s Supreme Yang energy. Being directly inside his body gave this energy an advantage, forcing Great Venerable Ming Hai to minimize internal injury.

Great Venerable Ming Hai being attacked created a slight gap in the previously perfect defensive battle formation.

Li Shiming couldn’t possibly let this opportunity slip, or rather, he deliberately created it.

With a flicker, he appeared inside the defensive battle formation, in close quarters with one Great Venerable.

The consequences of close combat with a Peak Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, especially one skilled in melee, are obvious.

This Great Venerable’s strength was only approaching the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, with a considerable gap between peak and non-peak. Additionally, with close combat losing his defensive advantage, Li Yuanba broke through his defenses with one sword strike.

Without looking at the outcome of that sword strike, Li Yuanba’s figure vanished.

Several attacks missed where he disappeared.

He reappeared by another Great Venerable, using the same move which was still unsolvable.

With mastery of ancient melee Sword Cultivator combat style, in the Cultivation World, his close combat ability is undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid.

Great Venerable Ming Hai was preoccupied with resisting the internal Yin Cold Energy. The arrow’s damage wasn’t light; without immediate attention, his life would be at risk.
