Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1710: Chapter 901: Sect Annihilation (Part 2)

This place is not beyond the great formation; it is the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate. The consequence of casually deploying large-scale spells here is the death of numerous sect buildings and cultivators.

At the moment when that Great Cultivator shouted ’surrender,’ a Late-stage Golden Corpse appeared beside him and took his life.

Master Ba Run’s hair stood on end. He did not launch an attack; a life-saving talisman appeared in his hand.

Subsequently, his figure transformed into an escape light, fleeing towards the mountain gate’s exterior.

As soon as this escape light shot out, a Late-stage Golden Corpse, having lost its target, turned into a shadow and chased the escape light.

Something unimaginable happened; the escape technique, claimed to be the fastest movement method in the Cultivation World, was being caught up with by a Late-stage Golden Corpse utilizing its speed.

Although Master Ba Run did not have a Great Ability Life-saving Jade Talisman, the life-saving talisman in his hand was also a treasure inherited from the Sun Concealing Sect, made by a Peak Great Cultivator from a past generation of the sect.

Under normal circumstances, such a grade of life-saving talisman could definitely preserve life on the Dongqi Continent.

But when facing a Late-stage Golden Corpse grasping the ’Speed Rule Imprint,’ the escape technique generated by this life-saving talisman no longer held any advantage.

Master Ba Run felt the speed far surpassing his escape skill capabilities. Although fleeing the sect made him extremely distressed, unlike his fellow Great Cultivators who were slaughtered, he felt as if carrying a sacred mission, already considering how he must rebuild the Sun Concealing Sect after leaving.

During the extreme speed of the escape technique, as he felt an unprecedented speed, he seemed to have a premonition and glanced to the side.

He saw an unbelievable sight, with the armored figure of the Late-stage Golden Corpse nearly pacing him.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse raised a rather exaggerated heavy hammer. Master Ba Run wanted to dodge, but unfortunately, this escape technique was not activated by his strength, causing it to only move in a straight line, unable to turn on a whim.

With a ’boom,’ Master Ba Run lost consciousness.

"All cultivators stand still where you are; violators will die!" Another Late-stage Golden Corpse patrolled back and forth within the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate, emitting a harsh voice.

The terrifying aura of the Late-stage Golden Corpse caused all cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage to faint.

Only the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators could still endure. Two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, unwilling to let the sect be destroyed like this, flew into the air. Before they could take any action, the figure of the Late-stage Golden Corpse flashed past them.

The bodies of the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners were struck by the heavy hammer, turning into a mist of blood that rained down.

After that, no cultivators dared to make any more movements and obediently stayed where they were.

At this time, the Late-stage Golden Corpse chasing Master Ba Run returned, flying towards a building and forcibly breaking its defense to charge inside.

Inside the building glowed with a dim light. At the center of the floor was a scaled-down model of the entire Sun Concealing Sect, with several markers flashing continuously.

This was the core of the Sun Concealing Sect’s great formation; the movements of the Late-stage Golden Corpse were exceedingly gentle.

It extended a finger to lightly tap, allowing a spell to invade the core of the Sun Concealing Sect’s great formation. Multiple formation defenses were easily breached, and the authority over this formation core was seized.

The Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Sun Concealing Sect standing on the ground felt the great formation suddenly tremble, and then their Identity Jade Discs were forcibly stripped of all privileges by the formation.

The Sun Concealing Sect’s great formation developed a repulsive force against these Nascent Soul Cultivators, making them realize that the great formation had fallen to an enemy, and the Sun Concealing Sect had completely lost its defense.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse, now controlling the Sun Concealing Sect’s great formation, used the formation’s information to locate a critical location.

The figure of the Late-stage Golden Corpse flew out from the building towards a valley.

That valley, within the Sun Concealing Sect’s mountain gate, appeared inconspicuous and unremarkable, yet it was under the formation’s most stringent protection.

The formation of the valley parted automatically, revealing a passage leading inside.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse unexpectedly saw a spatial gate protected by the formation; this was the entrance and exit of the Grotto Heaven, the most precious foundation of the Sun Concealing Sect.

Without any hesitation, the Late-stage Golden Corpse passed through the spatial gate.

Upon entering the Grotto Heaven, the Late-stage Golden Corpse, looking at the scene before him, could not help but be taken aback; it was entirely different from the Devil Cultivator Grotto Heaven he imagined.

This place entirely resembled a Spirit Plant cultivation base, devoid of the so-called Devil Cultivator’s eeriness and untouched by demonic energy erosion.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If the Grotto Heaven was really turned into the kind of environment filled with negative energy that Devil Cultivators like, it might be somewhat helpful to Devil Cultivators’ training, but it would be impossible for the majority of Spirit Plants to grow.

Devil Cultivators are also cultivators, requiring a vast amount of resources. The Grotto Heaven is the primary resource output of a sect, particularly high-end resources, most of which come from the Grotto Heaven.

Since all the Great Cultivators had left the Grotto Heaven, there were no cultivators within it.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse sensed for a moment and flew in a direction.

Li Shiming had a deep understanding of the Grotto Heaven, and this Grotto Heaven had few hidden techniques, allowing him to clearly sense the flow of Spiritual Energy.

Through the inconspicuous direction of Spiritual Energy flow, IBMz15 could analyze the core area of the Grotto Heaven’s Spiritual Energy.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse arrived before a thatched hut; this was the core of the entire Grotto Heaven.

Li Shiming controlled the Late-stage Golden Corpse and reached out to open the wooden door of the hut.

At the moment he opened the wooden door, a myriad of piercing spiritual wails emanated from within, and over a hundred Fourth Grade Ghost Souls rushed out, biting towards the Late-stage Golden Corpse.

"So this is the Sun Concealing Sect’s final method, truly ruthless!" Li Shiming could not help but praise.

For the Sun Concealing Sect’s capability, perhaps controlling over a hundred Fourth Grade Ghost Souls was unachievable, but gathering them in one place was possible given enough time for the Demon Sect.

A normal Great Cultivator, without any preparation, being attacked by over a hundred Fourth Grade Ghost Souls would have a very high chance of falling.

Fourth Grade Ghost Souls are an extremely special kind of being, unaffected by most attack methods besides soul attacks and a few attacks capable of influencing the soul; affecting Fourth Grade Ghost Souls is not easy.

Of course, this does not mean Fourth Grade Ghost Souls are truly formidable; as long as the cultivator is prepared, there are many methods to deal with Fourth Grade Ghost Souls.

But after entering the Grotto Heaven, the ordinary Spirit Plant resource cultivation base scene would let intruding enemies lower their guard to the minimum.

The thatched hut would further reduce enemy vigilance; in the instant the wooden door was opened, over a hundred Fourth Grade Ghost Souls pounced. Even if possessing means to counter them, facing so many Fourth Grade Ghost Souls was challenging.

The Fourth Grade Ghost Souls pounced on the Late-stage Golden Corpse. Upon encountering the Late-stage Golden Corpse’s armor, they were stopped.

Afterward, the surface of the armor shimmered, and the armor elevated from ordinary Fourth Grade Top Quality to Spiritual Treasure level.

The Yin Cold Energy within the Late-stage Golden Corpse surged out through the Spirit Treasure Armor, impacting the area around, affecting all the Fourth Grade Ghost Souls.

The Late-stage Golden Corpse opened its mouth, drawing the Fourth Grade Ghost Souls into its body.

It was not ingesting these Fourth Grade Ghost Souls but using its body as a container to temporarily seal them.

It entered the hut, where no further defense mechanisms were present; a glowing small black grass grew in the corner of the hut.

"The Wood Element Heavenly Treasure has actually been tainted by evil energy like this; quite special indeed!" Li Shiming through the Late-stage Golden Corpse looked at this small black grass, murmured slightly surprised.

He did not know if this Wood Element Heavenly Treasure was naturally like this or modified by the Devil Cultivator after, but no matter what, it was the first time he saw such a Wood Element Heavenly Treasure.

He controlled the Late-stage Golden Corpse, inputting a spell into the small black grass, then he felt that the Late-stage Golden Corpse had become the master of this Grotto Heaven.
