Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1541: Chapter 817: Great Battle

The top-grade fourth-grade Mountain Treasure of the Yan Gao Great Cultivator soared high into the sky, not only did it shock Yan Gao Great Cultivator, but even Master Wang He failed to react in time, equally astonished by the rare scene before them.

The Mountain Treasure is one of the most powerful treasures within the internal realm, employing unparalleled weight to suppress Cultivators.

There are various ways to break the Mountain Treasure’s encirclement, such as using swift movements to escape its range, interfering with the owner’s spell before it’s unleashed, or maintaining a maneuvering stance from the beginning to avoid getting easily locked onto by the Mountain Treasure.

However, this certainly does not include forcibly striking the Mountain Treasure with brute force; choosing power against power requires a force stronger than the Mountain Treasure’s attack to achieve.

"What kind of monster is this?" Yan Gao Great Cultivator quickly recovered, exclaiming in shock.

Although understanding it’s a late-stage Golden Corpse, whose family’s late-stage Golden Corpse is this fierce, capable of striking away the Mountain Treasure wielded by a Peak Earth Element Cultivator?

"Mr. Yan, you play with them, I will battle Master Wang!" Li Shiming laughed out loud and said.

Having confirmed the power of the five late-stage Golden Corpses after the initial encounter, he safely entrusted the Yan Gao Great Cultivator to handle the five late-stage Golden Corpses.

"Mr. Li, let’s see if your cultivation in the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ meets the mark!" Master Wang He said in a deep voice.

On the other side, Yan Gao Great Cultivator had no time to respond to Li Shiming, as he was swiftly approached by the five late-stage Golden Corpses, forcing him to retreat into the distance.

The speed of the late-stage Golden Corpses was beyond his anticipation, compelling him to continuously conjure earth walls ahead of them to block their advance while retreating.

But the effect was poor, as the earth walls erected by a Peak Earth Element Cultivator contained Earth Element Rule Power within them; even though this power was scarce, it was sufficient to leave regular Great Cultivators helpless.

With just a swing of the iron hammer treasure in hand, the late-stage Golden Corpses could easily shatter the earth walls; the Earth Element Rule Power within the walls was insufficient to withstand the simultaneous application of the ’Power Rule Imprint’ and ’Speed Rule Imprint’ on the late-stage Golden Corpses, resulting in terrifying destructive force.

A soft glow flickered over Yan Gao Great Cultivator’s body, activating the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skills, intent on manipulating the iron hammer treasure to slow the Golden Corpses’ speed.

The iron hammer treasure indeed felt the influence of ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skills, seeming as if bound by countless webs.

However, the late-stage Golden Corpses were not immobile, only their movement became sluggish; relying on their immense power, they forcefully moved forward against the restraining force within the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Power Field.

Yan Gao Great Cultivator’s life-bound treasure Mountain Treasure hovered in the air once more, this time not descending but forming a gravitational field to increase the burden on the five late-stage Golden Corpses.

His various methods merely slowed the speed of the five late-stage Golden Corpses to a level similar to his own, yet he remained pursued by them.

The only options were periodically deploying earth walls or rock puppets and other measures to hinder the late-stage Golden Corpses.

Injuring the late-stage Golden Corpses significantly wasn’t achievable in a short time; he needed to find an opportunity, believing that the late-stage Golden Corpses would eventually reveal a flaw.

Yan Gao Great Cultivator’s battle entered a stalemate, with neither side able to overwhelm the other in the short term.

The five late-stage Golden Corpses possessed extremely strong close-combat strength, with sufficient speed, but against Yan Gao Great Cultivator, their speed was reduced by his various methods, preventing effective close combat engagement.

Yan Gao Great Cultivator, due to the formidable defensive power of the late-stage Golden Corpses, was unable to unleash his strongest attack without time to charge.

Li Shiming was in opposition to Master Wang He; neither initiated an attack, merely continuing to accumulate Thunder Energy.

Li Shiming waited, choosing minimal cerebral effort, aiming to engage Master Wang He using a conventional approach in this battle.

This was a rare opportunity to witness the true combat prowess of another Peak Great Cultivator who practiced the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’.

He hoped to identify his shortcomings from Master Wang He’s combat.

Indeed, Master Wang He cultivated the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, having received True Inheritance, unlike Li Shiming who merely gained a Jade Scroll with recorded experiences and insights concerning the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’.

The inheritances they received were incomparable, if not for Li Shiming’s possession of Half-Life Cave Heaven and the realization of Thunder Rules’ formation process within it, his ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ would pale against a true Thunder Cultivator’s.

"Thunder!" Master Wang He shouted, finally taking proactive action.

He didn’t employ wide-range Thunder and Lightning Magic, but instead used the single-target ’Thunder Fall Skill’, strengthened by accumulated Thunder Energy, making it tremendously powerful.

With the speed of a single-target Thunder and Lightning Magic, avoiding it upon activation is exceedingly difficult for opponents.

Except by employing a similar Lightning Technique—Electric Evasion.

Li Shiming’s figure transformed into Electric Evasion, dodging to the side, then, with a wave of his hand, activated the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ to execute a ’Thunder Fall Skill’ at Master Wang He.

Master Wang He sensed the power of the approaching thunderbolt and promptly performed Electric Evasion, his figure turning into an electric light disappearing from his original position.
