Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1686: Chapter 889: Long-Range Assault (Part 2)

Five Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners flew over here, wanting to see what had happened.

Because of the previous events, they were extremely cautious and alert.

It’s truly pitiful to think that the Yuzhu Islands can’t even send out a Great Cultivator now.

Before the five Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners could get close to the scene, the ’Traceless Illusion Sword’ appeared from the void and instantly killed all five of them.

The movement of the five Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners drew the attention of those on the Yuzhu Islands. Upon discovering their deaths, the grand formation of the Yuzhu Islands sounded an alarm.

The half-step Great Power, once again disturbed, sent out a wisp of consciousness to check the outside situation.

He once again noticed Li Shiming, hidden ten miles away. He hesitated, unsure whether he should attack Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s Divine Foot Skill was truly troublesome. Even if he attacked, it was highly likely to miss.

Unless Li Shiming approached within a certain range, where he could use the Cave Heaven to suppress Li Shiming, preventing him from using the Divine Foot Skill, only then could Li Shiming be truly killed.

But judging from Li Shiming’s actions, he was very cunning, never getting close to the Yuzhu Islands.

Furthermore, the speed at which Li Shiming performed the Divine Foot Skill was incredibly fast. Even during his previous attack, a speed that even a peak Great Cultivator could not escape from, Li Shiming easily evaded.

The cultivators of the Yuzhu Islands noticed that their ancestor did not attack the enemy this time, allowing the three Great Cultivators and five Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners to perish outside the island.

This left them very puzzled. Though the place where the Great Cultivators and Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners fell was some distance from the Yuzhu Islands, this distance was very far for Great Cultivators, but still within the attack range of a half-step Great Power.

They began to panic, and with another round of attacks, the cultivators who had intended to stay decided to leave.

Cultivators who ran businesses packed their goods onto a Flying Boat and headed off the island.

These cultivators were not planning to commit suicide. They displayed various faction emblems to indicate their identities.

Li Shiming didn’t recognize these faction emblems, but he also wouldn’t attack these cultivators.

What he needed to do was simply kill any cultivators with hostile intentions.

From these fleeing cultivators, he didn’t sense any hostility.

After these first cultivators successfully left without being attacked, more and more cultivators began to leave the Yuzhu Islands.

There were many cultivators who did not have the ability to travel far, but staying on the Yuzhu Islands was more dangerous, so they also chose to leave.

As for the dangers they might face at sea, they would deal with them when the time came.

Seeing more and more cultivators leave the Yuzhu Islands, Li Shiming thought for a moment and took out a ’Sun Shooting Bow’. This was a bow and arrow magic weapon he had refined for late-stage Golden Corpses, based on the Sun-Shooting Sect’s ’Sun Shooting Technique’.

The ’Sun Shooting Bow’ was of spiritual treasure quality, but since it was made for late-stage Golden Corpses, it did not require acknowledgment of ownership to use.

He drew the ’Sun Shooting Bow’, and the immense strength cultivated through the ’Heavenly Human Technique’, with unparalleled power, was transformed into arrow propulsion through the ’Sun Shooting Bow’.

The arrows were energy-converged arrows from the ’Sun Shooting Bow’, which were also an artifact refining secret technique recorded in the ’Sun Shooting Technique’.

Over a distance of ten miles, the attack of an ordinary Great Cultivator would definitely not suffice, but a Great Cultivator practicing archery is definitely an exception.

This kind of ultra-long-range attack method is extremely rare in the Cultivation World, usually used for ambushes, and if the enemy is prepared, the likelihood of hitting from a long-range attack is very low.

Li Shiming released the arrow, and it shot out from the ’Sun Shooting Bow’.

The arrow instantly flew across a distance of ten miles. Theoretically, the arrow would be blocked by the protective shield of the Yuzhu Islands’ grand formation.

But Li Shiming had studied the Yuzhu Islands’ grand formation deeply, and the arrow he shot out mysteriously passed through the protective shield without hindrance when it touched the shield.

A Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner on the main island, commanding other cultivators to clear the ruins, suddenly exploded, leaving his Nascent Soul to fly out.

The Nascent Soul looked at his own body in extreme terror, not understanding what had happened until he was struck.

Cries of alarm came from the main island and then from various islands, with many cultivators in panic and disarray.

Li Shiming waited for ten breaths, then once again drew the ’Sun Shooting Bow’, choosing a new target, another Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

The arrow shot out, and once again, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner’s body exploded.

Finally, the half-step Great Power hidden in the Cave Heaven could no longer endure Li Shiming’s actions. A powerful aura emanated from the main island, followed by a beam of energy shooting towards Li Shiming.

The speed of this attack was not slower than the speed at which Li Shiming’s arrow shot from the ’Sun Shooting Bow’.

Unfortunately, Li Shiming always kept several brains in a ready-to-activate ’Leap Forward’ state. Combined with his extremely fast reaction speed, when he sensed the strong energy from the main island, he activated ’Leap Forward’.

The terrifying energy beam passed through where he had just vanished. No matter how powerful the energy beam was, if it couldn’t hit the target, it was useless.

After the half-step Great Power’s attack ended, Li Shiming returned to the ten-mile location and drew the ’Sun Shooting Bow’ again.

The cultivators of the Yuzhu Islands, seeing their ancestor’s attack, began to cheer.

But the cheers abruptly stopped when the ancestor’s attack missed again.

Then, another Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner was pierced by an arrow, his body turning into a mist of blood, leaving only his Nascent Soul to emit a sharp wail.

Even though the Yuzhu Islands had a large number of cultivators, including over a hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners, the situation where they couldn’t fight back and couldn’t even defend against the attacks made them unable to persist any longer.

They dared not expose themselves in the open any longer, and all hid inside buildings.

From afar, across the thirty-six islands of the Yuzhu Islands, no cultivators could be seen.

Li Shiming was in no hurry. His next arrow targeted a building.

The terrifying arrow instantly destroyed the building, and at the moment of contact, he used a secret method of the ’Sun Shooting Technique’ to let the power of the arrow spread out, causing the entire building to collapse under the immense force.

One by one, buildings were destroyed by him, and the cultivators inside fled in panic, hiding in other buildings.

During this time, the half-step Great Power launched two more attacks, especially the last one, where the power of the energy beam was noticeably weakened.

After two attacks, no matter how Li Shiming attacked the buildings and shot the cultivators, the half-step Great Power did not attack again.

In the Cave Heaven, unseen, the half-step Great Power’s face was pale. In the void of the Cave Heaven, colors constantly changed, with thunderous sounds occasionally echoing.

The space of this Cave Heaven was extremely large, and its rules relatively complete. As Li Shiming guessed, this was an Inheritance Cave Heaven.

The half-step Great Power unexpectedly discovered a hidden space gate on an uninhabited island during one of his journeys, which allowed access to the Cave Heaven bound to the uninhabited island.

Through researching the Cave Heaven, he learned its origins. The Cave Heaven originally belonged to a super sect, but due to losing the inheritance of a great power, coupled with an invasion by a powerful enemy,

Ultimately, the sect chose to self-destruct its mountain gate, with only a core part of the binding Cave Heaven remaining and drifting outside, unknown to all that an Inheritance Cave Heaven existed within.

This half-step Great Power used the Inheritance Cave Heaven to hide its secret, establishing the Yuzhu Islands with his formidable strength, and expanded the small island with the Inheritance Cave Heaven into the current main island.

If not for Li Shiming’s appearance, with the half-step Great Power’s fortune, perhaps in a few years, the Yuzhu Islands would have become the Jade Pearl Sect, and the Jade Pearl Sect, due to the presence of a great power, would have rapidly become a super force.

The half-step Great Power sought to harmonize the Cave Heaven Energy, but this time the chaos of the Cave Heaven Energy was too severe, and he suffered considerable backlash.
