Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1780 - 936: Control (Part 2)

Li Shiming controlled Li Yuanba but did not attack Great Venerable Ming Hai first, because Great Venerable Ming Hai was in a state where he couldn’t counterattack, perfectly allowing for the slaying of other Great Venerables.

Five Great Venerables fell in just two breaths.

Great Venerable Ming Hai could no longer attend to his internal injuries, he roared in anger, his body emitted a golden glow, preparing to unleash a life-risking secret technique.

But at this moment, a dazzling sword light shot out from within Li Yuanba, causing Great Venerable Ming Hai’s vision to whiten, immediately followed by the Xingyi Sword piercing through his body.

The secret technique being activated lost its foundation and was halted due to the invasion of ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Great Venerable Ming Hai stopped activating the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ due to his injuries, a choice that subjected him to a real attack from Li Yuanba.

Without the soul attack influence of the ’Thunder Sound Bell’, the Xingyi Sword, controlled by Li Yuanba’s spirit, launched an attack on Great Venerable Ming Hai.

There was merely less than ten meters between Li Yuanba and Great Venerable Ming Hai; at the speed of the Xingyi Sword, Great Venerable Ming Hai had no time to react before his body was pierced.

Great Venerable Ming Hai felt his vitality rapidly drain away, helplessly abandoning all actions, folding his hands in meditation pose, and upon completing this motion, his vitality was utterly extinguished.

”I’ll leave it to you!” Li Shiming said to Li Yuanba as he retracted his control over the brain.

Li Yuanba took control of his body, he cast an ownership mark on the floating ’Thunder Sound Bell’, but discovered another exceedingly powerful spiritual mark within the ’Thunder Sound Bell’.

No need to ponder, this is the spiritual mark left by a Bodhisattva from Da Leiyin Temple.

Li Yuanba sneered coldly, taking out three sealing talismans and sticking them onto the ’Thunder Sound Bell’, then placing the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ into a jade box designed to isolate external spiritual objects.

He wasn’t sure if this would work, but it would at least cause some trouble for that Bodhisattva trying to reclaim the ’Thunder Sound Bell’.

With a ”boom”, Li Yuanba felt the entire Beidou Array tremble, and if he hadn’t adjusted the ’Beidou Formation Map’ in time, perhaps this move would have broken the Beidou Array.

Through the ’Beidou Formation Map’, he saw that six Great Cultivators from the Infinite Sect caused this tremor.

Led by Master Cui Cheng, the six Great Cultivators of the Infinite Sect were collectively channeling spiritual power into a Flame Mountain Peak.

That tremor was precisely caused by the Flame Mountain Peak attacking the Beidou Array.

Li Yuanba was slightly surprised; only after mastering the ’Beidou Formation Map’ did he truly understand its power.

The fifth-grade ’Beidou Formation Map’, although controlled by him as a Peak Great Cultivator, couldn’t unleash more than sixty percent of its power, but even that couldn’t be easily shaken by several Great Cultivators working together.

He then noticed Feiyu Sect; among the five Great Cultivators, only Great Cultivator Le remained, with a peculiar eye on top of his head forming a storm centered on the eye.

And it was this storm from the peculiar eye that blocked the arrows shot by the late-stage Golden Corpse.

The other four Great Cultivators of Feiyu Sect were picked off one by one by the late-stage Golden Corpse’s arrows during Li Yuanba’s battle on this side.

Poor these Great Cultivators; due to the Beidou Array, they didn’t even know who their enemy was, nor the origin of the arrows. An arrow suddenly appearing from the void took each Great Cultivator’s life.

The Great Cultivators’ physical bodies fell, their nascent souls emerged, but inside the Beidou Array, even their nascent souls couldn’t escape.

The four nascent souls now reside within Great Cultivator Le, and if he can escape, he can take all four nascent souls with him.

Great Cultivator Le was deeply regretful at this time; had he known Li Yuanba was so difficult, he wouldn’t have participated in this matter.

Look at Feiyu Sect: losing five Great Cultivators at once, even if he successfully escapes, the four Great Cultivators need to reincarnate and cultivate anew, greatly diminishing Feiyu Sect’s power for a long time to come.

The four Great Cultivators who lost their bodies were the essence among the Great Cultivators of Feiyu Sect.

Great Cultivator Le constantly pondered how to escape, abandoning thoughts of dealing with Li Yuanba.

His ’Storm Eye’, when not used for defense, could unleash potent attacks, with continuous assault possibly breaking the Beidou Array.

But the problem is, canceling the defense of the ’Storm Eye’ makes him vulnerable to being pierced by the unforeseen arrows like his five fellow Great Cultivators.

He tried, even a top-grade fourth-grade defense treasure couldn’t withstand two arrow hits; his defense treasure was already damaged, able to rely only on the ’Storm Eye’ for protection.

He was caught in a dilemma, pondering attack versus defense, survival versus escape, unable to decide.

Li Yuanba merely glanced at Great Cultivator Le through the ’Beidou Formation Map’, seeing no threat from him, thus ignoring him afterwards.

Li Yuanba then shifted his attention to Guiyuan Sect; they brought the most Great Cultivators, and seeing other super forces using their powerful means, he imagined Guiyuan Sect had similar tactics.

Yet upon observing Guiyuan Sect, he found the seven Great Cultivators merely using their treasures to attack the Formation, without utilizing treasures surpassing their own cultivation.

With such attacks, even given a whole day, they couldn’t break the defense of the Beidou Array.

Li Yuanba was puzzled why Guiyuan Sect’s Great Cultivators hadn’t brought out their treasures; every other super force had brought treasures, Guiyuan Sect couldn’t have come empty-handed.

Since Guiyuan Sect’s Great Cultivators posed no threat, his gaze returned to the Infinite Sect.

Currently, the six Great Cultivators of the Infinite Sect posed the greatest threat.

His figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot, reappearing at two hundred meters from Master Cui Cheng.

He initially intended to adopt standard combat tactics, utilizing his close-combat sword cultivator prowess to fight Master Cui Cheng closely.

Yet upon exerting ’Divine Foot Skill’, he found it impossible to teleport beside Master Cui Cheng and the other five Great Cultivators, restricted to a maximum distance of two hundred meters due to the Flame Mountain Peak.

He sensed that the power of the Flame Mountain Peak repelled space, preventing him from teleporting into close proximity.

As soon as Li Yuanba appeared, Master Cui Cheng noticed him.

”Suppress!” Master Cui Cheng commanded the ’Infinite Fire Peak’, directing it towards Li Yuanba.

The ’Infinite Fire Peak’ was initially meant to attack the Beidou Array, but upon seeing Li Yuanba, Master Cui Cheng immediately abandoned this plan, targeting Li Yuanba as the primary objective.

The emergence of the ’Infinite Fire Peak’ made Li Yuanba feel tension enveloping his body, with space around him solidifying.

He couldn’t utilize the Divine Foot Skill, nor the Sword Escape; it felt like he was immobilized.

The ’Infinite Fire Peak’ pressed towards him with such momentum that, should it land on him, he wouldn’t survive.

”Bind it for me!” Li Yuanba shouted.

Above his head, the ’Beidou Formation Map’ expanded, blocking the path of the ’Infinite Fire Peak’.

The matchless momentum of the ’Infinite Fire Peak’, augmented by flame rules at the great power level, posed a lethal threat to any Great Cultivator.

But the ’Beidou Formation Map’, a Fifth Grade Treasure, used for defense, could leverage the defensive powers of the Beidou Array.

The ’Infinite Fire Peak’ struck the ’Beidou Formation Map’ with an enormous ”boom”, causing the ’Beidou Formation Map’ to tremble, yet it withstood this assault from the ’Infinite Fire Peak’.

As the ’Beidou Formation Map’ was attacked, the entire Beidou Array trembled simultaneously.

Li Yuanba realized he couldn’t allow another attack from the ’Infinite Fire Peak’; another strike might break the Beidou Array.

Without the Beidou Array, he wouldn’t be able to detain all the Great Cultivators.
