Chapter 1891: Chapter 992: Covetous Ambitions

108 Heavenly Thunders fell within a few breaths, and it was this brief gap in time that saved the 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ from being annihilated.

Honestly, even though the ‘Earth Evil Formation’ set up by the 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ had the effect of enhancing defense, with a defensive power reaching Great Ability Level,

the increase of heavenly thunder to 108 strikes at the Half-step Great Power Peak Level was enough to induce a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.

Li Shiming stood aside, sensing the ‘Eternal Water Bears’ being struck, wounds appearing on their bodies, and yet, the damage was instantly transferred to other ‘Eternal Water Bears’.

Truly, the number of heavenly thunders was overwhelming, attacking almost incessantly.

Fortunately, the breakthrough to fourth-grade ‘Eternal Water Bears’ significantly enhanced their defensive and recovery abilities, particularly having consumed large quantities of ‘Eternal Water Bear Pills’, accumulating a massive amount of energy within.

Thus, even when the ‘Eternal Water Bears’ were harmed, they could instantly heal.

The rain of thunders continuously inflicted wounds on the ‘Eternal Water Bears’, which were swiftly healed, a cycle of injury and recovery.

Li Shiming watched in alarm, but after the first round of 108 heavenly thunders ended and the 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ remained alive, he was relieved.

The power of the heavenly thunders couldn’t increase further; a Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t elevate the power of thunders to the Great Ability Level.

Heavenly Dao speaks of the Grand Path’s 49 transformations with one remaining, never presenting an insurmountable Heavenly Tribulation.

During the waiting time between the first and second rounds of heavenly thunders, all 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ returned to optimal condition.

Their vitality, through the massive energy conversion within, could recover from any non-fatal injury quickly.

Next came the second round of heavenly thunders, again 108 Heavenly Thunders at the Half-step Great Power Peak Level.

With round after round of heavenly thunders falling, though the area was blocked by Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the formidable aura couldn’t be completely concealed.

It’s expected that this Heavenly Tribulation happening here will soon catch the attention of some superpowers in the Cultivation World.

Though the Dongqi Continent is barren, the presence of someone like Li Shiming, a top-tier Alchemy Master, has led many superpowers to establish intelligence networks here.

After nine rounds of heavenly thunders, the 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ maintained the Earth Evil Formation.

It wasn’t long before the energy reward from the heavens was generated within them, enhancing them continuously from flesh to soul.

Li Shiming felt the pressure from the contract; it was indeed 108 spiritual insects that truly reached Half-step Fifth Grade. Were it not for his 191 brains and his soul’s advancement to the Half-step Great Power Level, he might not have been able to command the 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ now.

After the ‘Eternal Water Bears’ completed receiving the heavenly rewards, Li Shiming issued commands to them.

All the ‘Eternal Water Bears’ flew onto his body, forming armor.

He felt secure; this armor could withstand attacks from Great Powers.

For any Great Power, unless they could kill all 108 ‘Eternal Water Bears’ in one simultaneous strike, with the vitality and restoration ability of the ‘Eternal Water Bears’, breaking through the armor formed by them would be impossible.

And, it’s not so easy to kill the ‘Eternal Water Bears’.

Li Shiming shook his head, with a slight thought, he gathered the ‘Eternal Water Bears’ into his Grotto Heaven.

Unfortunately, this Grotto Heaven wasn’t his own, and only during the growth phase of the Grotto Heaven can it increase energy output by having Half-step Great Power Level beings reside long-term within.

His gaze fell upon the valley, now having undergone this Heavenly Tribulation, the thunder energy was almost tangible, containing some special power of heavenly thunder.

The sect was already developing this valley, preparing to cultivate some Thunder Cultivators.

Coincidentally, he also added some Yuqing Sect’s heritage to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, making this a thriving hub for Thunder Cultivators.

This counted as a benefit he left for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, but the effects wouldn’t be noticeable without decades, or even centuries.

Recently, the superpowers of the Cultivation World were first stunned by Li Yuanba’s intervention.

Li Yuanba, being in the Grotto Heaven, launched a super-long-range flying sword attack, causing massive damage to the Da Leiyin Temple’s sect.

The surprise hadn’t settled when another piece of intelligence arrived, saying that Li Shizhen of Dongqi Continent, after enduring three Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations, caused another shocking Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulation on Dongqi Continent.

It’s said that half the sky was filled with Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Thunders, as if over a hundred Half-step Great Powers were crossing tribulations at once.

If Li Shiming’s previous survival through three successive Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations was considered his fortune, then these hundreds of Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations couldn’t be easily explained.

The attention of the superpowers turned to the Dongqi Continent because they couldn’t do anything against Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba was in seclusion within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Even if the superpowers had intentions regarding Li Yuanba, they couldn’t reach into the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s sect gate.

But Li Shiming was different; as a cultivator without a background, his sole assurance was his expertise in Alchemy.
