Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1908: Chapter 1000: Collapse (Part 2)

The shadow of the Golden Winged Dapeng flashed, carrying Li Shiming from outside the Da Leiyin Temple’s mountain gate, a thousand miles away, through the Cave Heaven Space barrier, arriving above the temple’s mountain gate.

Then Li Shiming extended his hand and threw out the pitch-black jade sphere. Without any pause, the Golden Winged Dapeng once more performed a space movement, disappearing above the mountain gate.

Within a breath’s time, Huiyue Bodhisattva and Huinan Bodhisattva simultaneously appeared above the mountain gate, and through their perception, they could sense the presence of Li Shiming and the Golden Winged Dapeng fleeing at an indescribable speed.

“What is that?” Huinan Bodhisattva looked at the unremarkable pitch-black jade sphere with some confusion and asked.

Huiyue Bodhisattva, however, felt his hairs stand on end, as a kind of indescribable fear rose within his heart.

“Be careful!” He did not immediately flee but instead issued a warning while channeling three hundred years of energy within the Cave Heaven, activating a Buddhist seal towards the pitch-black jade sphere.

As the aura of the Buddhist seal emerged, the entire space involuntarily trembled.

The three hundred years of energy generated in Huiyue Bodhisattva’s Cave Heaven was his strongest attack method.

He had always been out adventuring, and the energy he stored was not comparable to that of an Inheritor Great Ability, who remained in a state of no consumption, while he was constantly fighting.

The three hundred years of energy in the Buddhist seal was his source of confidence.

But for some reason, even though he unleashed his strongest attack, the fear persisted and could not be dispelled.

Before the Buddhist seal could strike the pitch-black jade sphere, the sphere spontaneously shattered.

‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ exploded in the Death Cave Heaven. Originally, if it were a normal Cave Heaven, the explosion’s terrifying power wouldn’t cause excessively strong effects.

But the Death Cave Heaven was in a state of collapse; the explosion of ‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ triggered a destructive force that accelerated the collapse process, which typically would take hundreds of years, to immediate completion.

The collapse of a Free Great Power’s Cave Heaven, especially in an instant, unleashes unimaginable power.

Perhaps the explosion of ‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ would destroy everything at the Da Leiyin Temple mountain gate, as there was precedence at the Yuqing Sect mountain gate.

However, the instant collapse induced by ‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ in the Death Cave Heaven has effects far stronger than the impacts caused by ‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ alone.

‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ only affects the external space, while the instant collapse of the Death Cave Heaven is a spatial-level explosion.

If placed in the situation of a normal Cave Heaven collapse, it would slowly release the space inside the Cave Heaven.

These released spaces would gradually and imperceptibly merge into the real world, causing little destruction to it.

But when this hundreds-of-years-long process is converted into an instant, the space released by the Death Cave Heaven becomes the most terrifying weapon.

The instant collapse of Death Cave Heaven released a massive Cave Heaven Space into the real world, centered around the pitch-black jade sphere.

To say how large a Great Power’s Cave Heaven is—the size of a Free Cave Heaven exceeds the sphere of influence occupied by the Da Leiyin Temple in the real world.

Released into the real world, it undergoes compression by reality, causing the space released to be significantly smaller, but still of considerable size.

Huinan Bodhisattva first noticed that his Inheritance Cave Heaven was invaded by the instant-collapse of Death Cave Heaven, breaking the space barrier between the Inheritance Cave Heaven and the real world.

This caused the originally collapsed Death Cave Heaven, under these circumstances, to transform into having its internal space along with the Inheritance Cave Heaven released into the real world.

Huinan Bodhisattva spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his skin cracked open, and then his body continued to explode internally, turning into a blood mist scattering outward.

Due to the nature of the Inheritance Cave Heaven, he couldn’t dodge and was directly affected by the collapse of Death Cave Heaven.

The Inheritance Cave Heaven was part of his body, also his energy source; its destruction is comparable to the destruction of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Nascent Soul.

He didn’t even have the energy to speak, his body quickly faded into oblivion.

Huiyue Bodhisattva reacted even quicker, intending to escape towards the mountain gate upon sensing the imminent explosion of the pitch-black jade sphere.

If he had fled at the first moment of sensing extreme danger, perhaps there would have been a chance of escape.

Now, however, it’s too late to escape; the internal spaces of the two Cave Heaven were instantly released into the real world, even if he tried to utilize space movement to leave, his mastery over space rules could not exceed the spatial influence caused by the collapse of the two Cave Heavens.

His attempt at space movement moved him only to the side of the mountain gate, unable to escape the Da Leiyin Temple mountain gate, let alone leave the realm within the collapse of the Death Cave Heaven’s released internal space.

His Free Cave Heaven hidden in the void was invaded by the suddenly collapsed Cave Heaven Space.

The outer wall of his Free Cave Heaven was damaged, connecting his Free Cave Heaven with the real space.

No matter how much he tried to control it, he couldn’t prevent the space within the Free Cave Heaven from merging with the real space, and the speed of this merging was too quick, virtually indistinguishable from Cave Heaven collapse.

Huiyue Bodhisattva never imagined that he merely returned to this section of the Cultivation World, deemed to be extremely safe.

Yet it was here he met his doom, with countless years of cultivation efforts all gone in a single day.

As his flesh shattered and his body faded to void, he vaguely seemed to see a face smiling coldly at him.

“Li Shizhen!” He wished to call out this name, but the collapse of his physical body rendered him voiceless.

The collapse of the three Cave Heaven Spaces equally exposed Li Shiming to horrific danger alarms, and even the Golden Winged Dapeng seemed frightened, flying at full force to keep the threat behind them from catching up.

Li Shiming did not instruct the Golden Winged Dapeng to stop until the space stabilized.

When he looked back, he found the world behind him had changed dramatically.

Originally surrounding the Da Leiyin Temple mountain gate, there were a multitude of temples, also where Buddhism thrived most, the main sphere of influence for the Da Leiyin Temple.

But now, everything there has vanished, replaced by some spirit fields and spirit mountains.

Farther away, other resources can be seen; should any cultivator who has entered the Da Leiyin Temple’s Inheritance Cave Heaven or Free Cave Heaven, they would recognize these spirit fields and spirit mountains as objects from within those Cave Heavens.

Due to the collapse of the Inheritance Cave Heaven and Free Cave Heaven, parts of the space’s resources were preserved.

Li Shiming viewed a region still tens of thousands of miles away from the Da Leiyin Temple mountain gate area, and he drove the Golden Winged Dapeng towards the original direction of the mountain gate.

Not sensing any presence of danger was the reason behind his desire to return and survey.

Earlier, he initiated ‘Great Dragon’s Fury,’ causing the premature collapse of the Death Cave Heaven; the destruction made him believe it could at least critically injure a Great Power.

When he discovers the objects emerging from the original Cave Heaven, he realizes the Cave Heavens of the two Bodhisattvas must have collapsed together.

Without the Cave Heaven, what happens to a Great Power, he does not understand, but imagines it won’t be pleasant.

As he gradually approaches the position of the Da Leiyin Temple mountain gate, he perceives radiation pollution.

The space at the mountain gate of the Da Leiyin Temple originates from the space of the Death Cave Heaven, due to ‘Great Dragon’s Fury’ exploding within, the induced radiation pollution lingered in this space.

As for the original mountain gate of the Da Leiyin Temple, it has completely vanished, along with the two Bodhisattvas.

Li Shiming has IBMz15 collecting data while his eyes flash with a look of shock.

He never imagined that his one experiment would result in a destructive power far stronger than IBMz15’s calculations.

If it weren’t for the presence of the Golden Winged Dapeng, he might not have escaped this terrible collapse scope after initiating the explosion of the pitch-black jade sphere.

Now he knows the circumstances of Huiyue Bodhisattva and Huinan Bodhisattva; both Bodhisattvas have already fallen, and he can feel it.
