Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1563: Chapter 828: Thunder Beast

Five days had passed since Li Shiming summoned the spirit beast using the Ancient Contract Paper, and on this day, the newly established warning formation of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect transmitted news that a powerful spirit beast was rapidly approaching the Dongqi Continent.

This warning formation is a type of scouting formation; it can detect the breath fluctuations produced by life forms other than human cultivators.

Of course, the warning formation is not very effective at detecting powerful beings who can hide their aura, and often fails to detect their presence.

The main function of the warning formation is to scout powerful spirit beasts approaching the near seas, allowing stationed Nascent Soul cultivators to go and slay them conveniently.

However, this time, the spirit beast detected was deemed to be a Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast, based on the alarm level of the warning formation, which ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t handle.

The few Great Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect were extremely busy, and upon receiving this news, Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding set out from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to intercept the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast.

With the positioning from the warning formation, they accurately determined the advance route of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast and awaited it on its inevitable path.

"What is that?" Master Ding hovered in the air using wind, able to unleash his maximum speed at any moment, as he pointed into the distance and exclaimed.

From afar, a bolt of lightning was rapidly closing in, its speed so fast that it made his hair stand on end.

Although speed and strength are not absolutely connected, a spirit beast with such speed at the Fourth Grade Late Stage is certainly a terrifying existence difficult to contend with.

Not to mention, from the lightning aura emanating from the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast, it was clear that this was a spirit beast that had mastered thunder and lightning.

Generally, spirit beasts’ mastery of energy is stronger than cultivators of the same level.

For Thunder Cultivators, they need to use Thunder Skills to unleash the power of thunder energy.

But a spirit beast that has mastered thunder can unleash great thunder power instinctively.

Grandmaster Hu’s body was surrounded by flames, a Fire Sword dancing around him.

"No matter what it is, it must be stopped, or it will bring great trouble to the Dongqi Continent!" he said in a deep voice.

Normally, such spirit beasts are intercepted over the sea and not allowed into the continent.

But this time, due to the extraordinary speed of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast, they couldn’t intercept it before entering the continent after setting off from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

If the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast can’t be intercepted on the continent either, the consequences would be extremely severe.

The destruction caused by such Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beasts imbued with lightning is not weaker than that caused by Yan Gao Great Cultivator back on the Dongqi Continent.

Moreover, Yan Gao Great Cultivator is still a cultivator, acting with reservations, but Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beasts have no such qualms, and a careless slip could result in the fall of countless cultivators.

The Ten Thousand Beast Sect has become the largest sect on the Dongqi Continent, carrying relative responsibilities alongside vast benefits.

If the Ten Thousand Beast Sect enjoyed the benefits but couldn’t protect the Dongqi Continent, its reputation on the continent would suffer greatly, and even with a powerful force suppressing, many cultivators would pay only lip service to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

"Let’s prepare for battle!" Master Ding summoned his Wind Sword and prepared to cooperate with Grandmaster Hu.

The speed of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast was very fast, its aura becoming increasingly perceivable as the distance closed in.

The earlier scanning results of the warning formation were not necessarily accurate and far less precise than the direct sensing by the Great Cultivators.

When Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding sensed the aura of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast, their expressions changed drastically.

"I will hold it off, you quickly go ask Li Shizhen for help!" Master Ding shouted anxiously.

"Are you reckless? We’ll fight it together, I’ll notify Shizhen using the Identity Jade Disc!" Grandmaster Hu yelled unwaveringly.

"You are a hundred times more important than me; with you in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Li Shizhen will feel a sense of belonging!" Master Ding cried out urgently.

Master Ding knew very well that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect couldn’t sustain someone like Li Shiming.

As long as Li Shiming is willing, any super force would welcome his joining.

The reason Li Shiming remained in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was because his mentor, Grandmaster Hu, was in the sect, which gave him a strong sense of belonging.

The current strength of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was all brought by Li Shiming, and if he were to leave, how could the sect continue to dominate most of the Dongqi Continent and suppress various forces?

"Quit the nonsense, I trust Shizhen; even if I fall, he will protect the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!" Grandmaster Hu, ready for battle, replied in a deep voice.

Master Ding said no more and stood beside Grandmaster Hu.

He had already made up his mind, even if it were to die, he would die before Grandmaster Hu.

The battle seemed imminent; the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast clearly discovered them, as terrifying thunder aura surged over like a mountain.

Grandmaster Hu and Master Ding could only resist the thunder aura with all their might, truly feeling the terror of a Peak of Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast.

Just when they expected the next moment to be a fierce battle, the lightning transformed by the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast flashed by in front of them, without attacking them.

Perhaps the Fourth Grade Late Stage Spirit Beast had an urgent matter, and couldn’t be bothered with these two not-so-strong cultivators.
