Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1543: Chapter 818: Life and Death

Although Li Shiming has only lived for over a hundred years, he has seen more than many cultivators who have lived for nearly a thousand years. He has witnessed death, caused death with his own hands, and has been on the brink of death several times.

He has seen powerful cultivators, particularly through his clone, he has seen the terror of the Great Power Elder.

But the power of the Sword Elder was never unleashed on him, so he could not feel real fear.

Today, at this moment, a single finger made him feel death, feel fear, feel the helplessness of a weak person facing a supreme power.

His innate treasure, IBMz15, alarmed frantically, continuously displaying various escape plans in front of him.

However, the finger that suddenly appeared from the void carried an indescribable binding force that prevented him from evading, unable to make any movements.

He could only watch as the finger pointed toward his body, the finger ignoring the protective barrier on his body, formed by the ’Heavenly Human Technique’ through ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’.

In front of the ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ shield, the finger seemed to exist in another space, passing through the ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ barrier without the slightest reaction.

Then, the finger continued forward, and when the finger touched Li Shiming’s robe, the top-level fourth-grade magical treasure immediately triggered a passive defensive spell.

Unfortunately, even though the passive defensive spell was activated, like the previous ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ shield, it could not affect the movement of the finger.

It was only when the finger made contact with the tangible robe that he felt the indescribable might of the finger.

The top-level fourth-grade robe exploded with a loud bang, this pinnacle robe of the cultivation world was directly destroyed into fragments by this finger, beyond repair.

It’s crucial to know that the top-level fourth-grade robe on Li Shiming was his war trophy.

Even if such a top-level fourth-grade robe was damaged, it could slowly recover through the input of spiritual power.

But this time, the destruction of the top-level fourth-grade robe was utterly complete, unable to be restored.

This indicates that the power of this finger directly destroyed all the rune arrays within the top-level fourth-grade robe.

Finally, the finger landed on Li Shiming’s physical body, and he felt his body enduring an unimaginable suppression.

His skin cracked, muscles exploded one by one, and his bones made creaking sounds. More terrifyingly, one of his Nascent Souls was directly sealed by this power, unable to utilize its strength.

Just when he thought he might be ending here this time, the finger retracted.

With the disappearance of the finger, Li Shiming’s body involuntarily flew backward.

However, having lost the threat of the finger, no matter how severe his injuries, he didn’t care.

Elsewhere, Yan Gao Great Cultivator and Wang He Great Cultivator were dealing with five late-stage Golden Corpses, they were assured of Li Shiming’s situation because they knew exactly what kind of power was employed this time.

This level of power should not have appeared outside the sect. Only due to Li Shiming’s strength and some special reasons was such power brought out.

The two Peak Great Cultivators attacked the late-stage Golden Corpses with all their might, yet a feeling of helplessness rose within them.

The late-stage Golden Corpses had been struck many times, with their attacks as Peak Great Cultivators, even a great cultivator with full magical treasures should have fallen by now.

But the five late-stage Golden Corpses merely had scars on their skin, far from being seriously wounded or collapsing.

The astonishing defense of the five late-stage Golden Corpses made them feel as if they were facing five top-level fourth-grade magical treasures, and each wielding a fourth-grade top iron hammer magical treasure, they had to be cautious not to let the five late-stage Golden Corpses get too close.

They noticed the plight of Li Shiming, and once Li Shiming was controlled, the five late-stage Golden Corpses would naturally lose their combat power.

Just as they were about to have one person control Li Shiming, a green light surged from Li Shiming’s body, filled with life force, it was the light of healing, the light of life, emanating from the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill.

"It’s the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, how is this possible?" Master Wang He recognized the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill, having been with Li Yuanba for almost a year.

Li Yuanba used the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill to gain favor with almost all cultivators in the Hell Cave Heaven, indebting all major powers to him, and he benefited greatly in return.

In the cultivation world, although there are some cultivators who inherit this divine skill, only Li Yuanba is known to exert it on great cultivators like Master Wang He has heard.

Li Yuanba was able to exert the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill on great cultivators because he received a wood-related treasure from Sword Elder, and since the treasure was bestowed by Sword Elder, even great cultivators aware of this wouldn’t covet it.

Of course, Li Yuanba is not an easy sword cultivator to deal with, possessing the power of a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, regarded by many great cultivators as being at the same level.

But when did Li Shiming also cultivate the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill? A great cultivator with the ’Innate Wood’ divine skill is an extremely troublesome entity.
