Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 565: Chapter 329 Battle

The Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators from Skywalk Trading Company, although each one was only subjected to the attacks of eight bolts of Divine Thunder.

But it must be considered that this was a Third Grade Technique of the Thunder Skill, a single-target spell. In terms of power, such a Third Grade Technique was even more terrifying than the full-force strike of a magical treasure.

When a cultivator uses a magical treasure, it unleashes a certain might solidified within the treasure by rapidly activating it with the cultivator’s spiritual power. Using magical treasures for combat allows cultivators to fight for extended periods.

However, in reality, the strongest aspect of a cultivator lies in their spells. The might of a magical treasure originates from the treasure itself, while the might of a spell comes from the cultivator drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. The higher the grade of the spell, the greater its power.

In some respects, a Third Grade Technique is already the strongest force a Golden Core cultivator can unleash.

Although Li Shiming was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, due to the “Five Elements Qi Absorption Array” inside his body, the spiritual power in his five Golden Cores had all reached the Golden Core Early Stage Peak. Moreover, the “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunder” was known as the strongest Third Grade Technique of Thunder Skill in magic cultivation.

Therefore, the threat of the “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunder” to Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators was still extremely strong. Without a powerful defensive magical treasure, a single “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunder” could shatter the defenses of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

And eight “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunders” targeting a single Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator posed an unimaginable threat.

The battle had just begun, or rather, hadn’t even truly started, when in Li Shiming’s first round of attack, the defensive magical treasures of the Golden Core Early Stage cultivators shattered first, and their bodies, struck by the “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunder,” turned to char and fell downwards.

The Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivators didn’t last much longer, only enduring a tenth of a moment longer than the early-stage cultivators. The main reason was that the eight “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunders” fell simultaneously. Once the Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators failed to block, their defenses were breached almost at the same time.

The battlefield, initially twelve against one, changed to two against one amidst the flashes of lightning.

The two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators blocked ten “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunders,” but they both paid a certain price. One could tell it was no small price by looking at the state of their defensive treasures in front of them.

Although their defensive magical treasures held up against ten “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunders,” they sustained significant loss of spirit. If Li Shiming were to attack again, they wouldn’t be able to use their defensive treasures to block his assault.

The two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators had lost the excitement they felt when they thought they had successfully trapped Li Shiming. Their expressions were now filled with extreme panic.

They couldn’t fathom what kind of talent was required to wield the Thunder Skill like this. If they hadn’t sensed that there was only Li Shiming inside the Meteor Ink Boat, they would have thought that there were a hundred cultivators who practiced the Thunder Skill inside it.

They reluctantly made the same choice, to flee, to escape from the terrifying Li Shiming.

Who says Li Shiming is just an Alchemy Master? With such a talent in Thunder Skill and relying on his own strength, he killed ten Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators and even subdued two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.

Their fighting spirit evaporated amidst the thunder and lightning, leaving behind only shock and fear.

But as the two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators tried to flee, something even more horrifying happened: the Four Phase Array they had set up blocked their escape.

Normally, they should have exited through the life gate of the Four Phase Array, but when they entered the life gate, they found themselves still in the same place.

Li Shiming consumed a Third-grade Spirit Pill to replenish his nearly emptied spiritual power.

He used a hundred minds to simultaneously cast a hundred “Supreme Mysterious Divine Thunders,” a calculation precisely determined by his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15.

About two-thirds of the spiritual power in each Golden Core was consumed, leaving one-third, which although insufficient for fighting recklessly as before, was still enough to deal with the two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.

However, he underestimated the discomfort caused by suddenly losing two-thirds of his spiritual power, which is why he took a Third-grade Spirit Pill to quickly restore his power.

Feeling the rapid recovery of spiritual power within his body, he was very satisfied with the effect of the Third-grade Spirit Pill.

Only he would use such a precious Third-grade Spirit Pill. When compared to the Third-grade Spirit Pills used for assistance in cultivation, its value was about three to four times higher. For average Golden Core cultivators, this kind of precious Spirit Pill was a life-saving treasure, not meant to be used in everyday combat.

Li Shiming invoked two Divine Thoughts, and two beams of sword light flew out from his Space Ring.

The Heart Sword and White Feather Sword flew towards the two Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators. Thunder Sword Intent wrapped around the flying swords, revealing a brutish aura.

Although he had cultivated three flying sword magical treasures, he could only use these two at the moment. The other, the Silver Light Sword, due to being stored for too long, had lost much of its spirit and couldn’t be used in battle yet.

His only defensive magical treasure, the Mo Yu Spirit Umbrella, faced the same issue. Fortunately, he had the Meteor Ink Boat; otherwise, he would have encountered a very awkward situation, possessing many magical treasures but having no defensive treasures available.

Mainly, his requirements for magical treasures were too high; he wouldn’t even consider anything less than a High Grade Magical Treasure.

Of course, with his identity and wealth, he had the right to be choosy. Besides, he hadn’t expected to face a battle at the Golden Core Stage so soon.

In his view, after a few more years, the Mo Yu Spirit Umbrella, an ancient magical treasure obtained from the ruins of the Five Qi Sect, would be able to demonstrate its power in his hands, protecting him from enemy attacks.
