Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 853: Chapter 473: Taking Stock

As Ancestor Han Xiao’s Nascent Soul emerged, Li Shiming mobilized his limited Spiritual Power Pattern and let out a sharp cry at the just-emerged Nascent Soul.

This was the ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’ attack, but it was several times stronger than the version Li Shiming had initially researched.

Because in the attack of ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’, he combined the spiritual attack Secret Technique from the ’Human Dao Reincarnation Technique’.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if he used ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’, let alone if Heavenly Demons were here crying out, it wouldn’t cause much harm to Ancestor Han Xiao’s Nascent Soul.

But this time was different, Ancestor Han Xiao’s Nascent Soul was in an injured state, he was focused on escaping, so during the emergence of the Nascent Soul, no defensive techniques were applied.

This was also a normal thing, the speed of a Nascent Soul is extremely fast, as long as it emerges, it can exert unimaginable speed.

In the case of Ancestor Han Xiao, he abandoned his body, and with the Nascent Soul, returned to the place where he had hidden a spare body, regaining his body for re-cultivation.

Although such a loss was great, it was the best means to seek survival in a desperate situation.

But he encountered Li Shiming, ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’ had an extremely intense impact on spiritual entities, and the Nascent Soul containing Ancestor Han Xiao’s soul was also considered partially spiritual.

Ancestor Han Xiao’s Nascent Soul had just suffered severe damage, the sound of ’Heavenly Demon Entering the Ear’ directly caused the Nascent Soul to stall for a moment.

And that moment was enough, the Fourth Grade Leaving Fire Sword in Venerable Huijing’s hand flashed a red light, slashing at the Nascent Soul body.

The Nascent Soul was instantly scattered, turning into sparkling starlight and disappearing.

Just as the Nascent Soul was killed, the vitality of Ancestor Han Xiao’s body also disappeared.

Li Shiming’s figure flickered, and ’Step by Step Lotus’ brought him to the side of Ancestor Han Xiao’s corpse.

He took off Ancestor Han Xiao’s Mustard Seed Ring, prepared to store Ancestor Han Xiao’s corpse into a spatial item, but then thought of something, scanned Ancestor Han Xiao’s corpse with ’Divine Thought’.

If Ancestor Han Xiao were still alive, the positioning mark set by Ancestor Luo Wei would be extremely hard to detect.

But after Ancestor Han Xiao’s death, the energy within the corpse was no longer active but had settled down, and the positioning mark, which simulates the energy of a cultivator to hide, now appeared very abrupt, discovered by Li Shiming using ’Divine Thought’.

”He did have a contingency plan!” Li Shiming thought to himself.

He stored Ancestor Han Xiao’s corpse into a Space Ring and then stored this Space Ring into the engine room space.

No matter how strong Ancestor Luo Wei’s cultivation is, he could not sense the positioning mark from the engine room space.

After doing all this, he looked regrettably at the fragments scattered around the battlefield, which were remnants of the Fourth Grade Tiangang Four Phase Array Plate.

The Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array that followed him for a long time was destroyed, but exchanging the Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array for the fall of a Nascent Soul Ancestor was a very worthwhile deal.

Li Shiming returned to the Meteor Ink Boat, released Li Yuanba, and let Venerable Huijing board the Flying Boat, and just like before, the Meteor Ink Boat continued flying forward.

He sat on the Flying Boat, using ’Divine Thought’ to observe the distance while contemplating the recent battle.

From the beginning, the battle unfolded in the direction designed by the life treasure IBMz15, which is why multiple possible follow-ups were designed by IBMz15, leading to Ancestor Han Xiao ultimately being unable to escape.

Li Shiming underestimated Ancestor Han Xiao’s strength. Initially, he thought that a full-strength strike from Venerable Huijing’s Nascent Soul Dharma Form with the Fourth Grade Leaving Fire Sword should have been able to slay Ancestor Han Xiao on the spot.

But in reality, the strike from Venerable Huijing’s Nascent Soul Dharma Form only severely injured Ancestor Han Xiao, who had not executed his Nascent Soul Dharma Form, and did not achieve a one-hit kill.

This showed the power gap between Venerable Huijing and Ancestor Han Xiao. If it were a normal battle, Ancestor Han Xiao might have easily killed Venerable Huijing.

Li Shiming shook his head with a helpless wry smile, he indeed underestimated the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Venerable Huijing is cultivating anew with ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’, though it is a very high-level technique, its prowess depends on comparison, and compared to Nascent Soul Ancestors on the Beishu Continent, it is indeed of very high level.

But compared to Ancestor Han Xiao, a Nascent Soul Ancestor from the Heavenly Inquiry Sect, it’s hard to say, as the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ was originally given by Ancestor Ren Xun.

Although Ancestor Ren Xun rated the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ very highly, in Li Shiming’s view, the techniques that Ancestor Ren Xun practiced might surpass the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’, and the same applied to Ancestor Han Xiao.

Moreover, Venerable Huijing has been cultivating the ’Liu Yan Erosion Sun Skill’ for only a short time, how could he possibly compare to Ancestor Han Xiao, who has cultivated the same or even higher-level techniques for hundreds of years.

”I can’t be so careless in the future, Huijing’s strength is still too weak!” Li Shiming reminded himself.

Although Venerable Huijing is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, even in his prime, he was merely a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner on the Beishu Continent.\n(o)v.e\l.com

Look at the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent, who often fight external Nascent Soul Cultivators in numbers against few, showing just how big the power gap is between the two sides.

He couldn’t regard Venerable Huijing as a powerful trump card; at most, he could contend with ordinary Nascent Soul Ancestors, but for an absolute kill on Nascent Soul Cultivators, he still had to rely on himself advancing to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Summarizing the combat experience, Li Shiming took out Ancestor Han Xiao’s Mustard Seed Ring.f r\ee.c(o)(m)

The restriction on the Mustard Seed Ring was quickly dissipating following Ancestor Han Xiao’s death, and soon after, his Divine Thought successfully entered the Mustard Seed Ring.
