Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1149: Chapter 621: Thunderclap

Li Shiming arrived at a secluded place, where he completed the final step of the bow-shaped magical tool he named the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ in his workshop space.

When he moved the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ out of the workshop space into the main world, he sensed the clouds gathering in the sky.

In the entire Cultivation World, probably no Artifact Refiner could understand the Artifact Tribulation better than him, nor had any Artifact Refining Master experienced hundreds of Artifact Tribulations.

He looked at the thunderclouds in the sky and couldn’t help shaking his head, realizing that the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ might be too single-functioned, as the Artifact Tribulation was not very strong this time.

Of course, even a not so strong Artifact Tribulation wasn’t something the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ could handle.

The ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ didn’t have any sturdy runes inscribed on it; its defensive power relied entirely on the strength of the Fourth Grade Top Material.

The reason the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ didn’t trigger stronger Heavenly Thunder was that it only converted power into attack effect, not spiritual power.

This caused the power of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’, without great strength support, to be even less than that of a Fourth Grade Lower Stage Magical Treasure.

Three streaks of Heavenly Thunder were easily blocked by Li Shiming. The ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ gained five Taoist Rhythms, which, among the Fourth Grade Artifact Tribulation Treasures he crafted, was truly just ordinary.

If other cultivators saw the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’, they would only curse him for wasting Fourth Grade Top Material.

Having passed the Artifact Tribulation, the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ felt heavy in his hand.

As the forger, Li Shiming did not need to recognize the master to use it directly.

He tried to pull the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’, and even though he cultivated body refining techniques and his body refinement had reached Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak, he still felt extremely strained.

He could only pull the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ one-third of the way before had to stop reluctantly, knowing that too many ’power runes’ had been inscribed, making the full draw of the bow require a terrifying amount of strength.

With nearly three billion power runes inscribed, the number of runes on the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ exceeded that of all previous magical tools he had forged.

Li Shiming pulled one-third of the bowstring, knowing he couldn’t let go like that. If he released the tension like this, all the stored power would discharge onto the bow itself, causing damage to the bow.

He activated the exclusive rune array of the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’, condensing an energy arrow.

This was the special technique of the ’Sun Shooting Technique’, using the exclusive rune array of the bow-shaped magical tool, leveraging the stored energy to form an energy arrow according to a certain ratio.

The stronger the stored energy, the higher the quality of the energy arrow.

He released his hand, allowing the bowstring to apply all the stored power to the energy arrow, which then turned into a stream of light and shot out.

With the ’Divine Vision’, he could clearly see the flight path of the arrow, enabling him to discern the arrow’s speed.

The speed of the arrow was related to the stored power; even with only a third of the bowstring drawn, it matched the speed of his divided self Li Yuanba using the ’Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique’ secret technique to unleash his Lifebound Flying Sword.

The effective attack range of the arrow reached fifty thousand meters. This doesn’t mean it loses lethality beyond that, but within fifty thousand meters, it maintained its maximum speed, with speed beginning to decline beyond that.

In the speed decline phase, the probability of the arrow hitting the target was too low, so it wasn’t counted in the effective attack range.

Of course, the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ wasn’t prepared for Li Shiming himself. He almost wasted Fourth Grade Top-Grade Refining Materials; if he didn’t have ulterior motives, why would he do such a thing?

The ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ was prepared for the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng. Upon obtaining the ’Sun Shooting Technique’, Li Shiming realized that the method of refining bow-shaped magical tools by storing power was born for the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng.

The Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng was a Grand Cultivator, only lacking a Nascent Soul, replaced by a Heavenly Ghost controlling his body.

Although lacking a Nascent Soul, the body of a Grand Cultivator was still that of a Grand Cultivator, with strength far surpassing that of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner, reaching an extraordinary level.

The body of a Grand Cultivator didn’t need any body refining techniques; its defensive power and strength were such that without special attack capabilities, even standing still, it couldn’t be harmed by a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

His strength was enough to shatter the body of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner with a single punch. In terms of physical body alone, the grand cultivator’s body was not on the same level as that of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner.

Li Shiming summoned the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, controlled by the Heavenly Ghost. Although the grand cultivator aura on Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng was faint due to lacking a Nascent Soul, it could still influence Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators within a certain range.

Fortunately, this Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng was controlled by a Heavenly Ghost, which was his contracted entity, minimizing such influence to the utmost.

He tossed the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ to the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, who caught it.

At Li Shiming’s command, the Heavenly Ghost controlled the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng to pull the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’.

Li Shiming stepped back a hundred meters, keeping his distance from the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, mainly because the stored energy gathered on the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow’ felt too terrifying, giving him a sense that its release would destroy everything.
