Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1971: Chapter 1032: Trial

Li Shiming realized that this form of the ‘Flying Night Demon’ is the complete battle form of the ‘Flying Night Demon’.

The ninth Heavenly Thunder descended, and its power made Li Shiming feel a tingling sensation.

The ‘Flying Night Demon’ flashed, using Space Movement to appear in the sky and proactively position itself before the Heavenly Thunder, pulling out ten cutting marks with its hands.

These were caused by the talons on its ten fingers, which sliced open the void—a demonstration of space ability.

Part of the power of the Heavenly Thunder was swallowed by the sliced-open void, although the void only existed for a moment before being shattered into fragments by the Heavenly Thunder.

The ‘Flying Night Demon’ retreated constantly, and with every retreat, it formed ten marks that sliced through the space ahead.

As the Heavenly Thunder continued to descend, it was repeatedly consumed, yet it also expended energy to destroy the sliced-open void.

The ‘Flying Night Demon’ possessed the ‘Speed Rule Rune’, which, combined with the ‘Space Rule Rune’, allowed it to achieve this effect.

The striking speed of the Heavenly Thunder is the fastest among all energy attacks, and without the cooperation of ‘Space Rule’ and ‘Speed Rule’, it would be impossible to perform such simultaneous retreat and defense.

Yet, the ‘Flying Night Demon’ couldn’t completely consume the power of the Heavenly Thunder; it had too limited space and time for maneuver.

Eventually, the Heavenly Thunder still struck the ‘Flying Night Demon’s body, while the ‘Flying Night Demon’ shielded itself with its wings, and a space barrier appeared on the outermost layer.

The Heavenly Thunder easily blasted through the space barrier before striking the black wings.

Under the attack of the Heavenly Thunder, the huge black wings continuously emitted black energy. Since the black wings were actually composed of energy, they didn’t shatter under attack but continued to shrink.

When the black wings shrunk to the point where they could no longer cover the body, the Heavenly Thunder struck the ‘Flying Night Demon’ itself.

The tightened muscles and the skin on the exterior became the strongest defense of the ‘Flying Night Demon’, though the skin still ruptured and the muscles charred under the attack of the Heavenly Thunder.

The ‘Flying Night Demon’s body fell heavily from the sky, and at this time, the ninth Heavenly Thunder also ended.

Li Shiming didn’t rush; he could sense that the ‘Flying Night Demon’ had not perished.

The damage sustained by the ‘Flying Night Demon’ was severe, but it had ultimately overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

Sure enough, after a moment, the ‘Flying Night Demon’ flew up from the ground, ascending into the sky.

It had already recovered from its battle state, appearing incredibly tragic.

Only the roots of its wings remained, and its body was crisscrossed with visible cracks revealing the internal bones.

These wounds covered the majority of its body, and at this time, all wounds were writhing, striving to recover.

However, the rule power remaining from the Heavenly Thunder within the wounds made the recovery process challenging.

After three breaths, the Thunder Energy and Yin Cold Energy within the ‘Flying Night Demon’ erupted simultaneously, expelling all remaining Heavenly Thunder from its body.

Another ten breaths passed, and the wounds on the ‘Flying Night Demon’ had nearly healed.

Li Shiming originally thought that the ‘Flying Night Demon’s injuries would still need treatment from the Heaven and Earth Reward Energy, but the ‘Flying Night Demon’s recovery ability was surprisingly impressive.

Of course, if any great power witnessed the ‘Flying Night Demon’s performance, they would likely be even more amazed.

Even for the ‘Flying Night Demon’, such recovery ability should not exist.

Just at this moment, Heaven and Earth Reward Energy mysteriously appeared within the ‘Flying Night Demon’, strengthening its body, soul fire, and internal energy comprehensively.

Li Shiming smiled; with the ‘Flying Night Demon’, it was even better suited for combat than Li Taibai.

Certainly, he gained some insights into refining fifth-grade corpses, though this success still contained much luck.

If he hadn’t chosen the flesh of great power Leng Luo as the material for refining the corpse, allowing the refined corpse to possess thunder attributes, perhaps the ‘Flying Night Demon’ would not have been able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation so easily.

The Heaven and Earth Reward Energy, present within the ‘Flying Night Demon’, vanished, and the ‘Flying Night Demon’ instantly appeared beside Li Shiming.

Li Shiming nodded to the ‘Flying Night Demon’, and the wings behind the ‘Flying Night Demon’ disappeared, making it almost indistinguishable from an ordinary cultivator.

But he’s aware of how terrifying the ‘Flying Night Demon’ truly is; it is a fifth-grade corpse refining possessing normal corpse refining’s strength, defense, and speed, as well as thunder and space abilities.

This allows the ‘Flying Night Demon’ to engage in ranged attacks, close combat, and also defense, with its space ability ignoring distance.

Most crucially, the ‘Flying Night Demon’s mastery over space rules is the strongest among those he has, including his own.

This relates to the special nature of corpse refining; great power Leng Luo originally had control over space rules, although not very strong, yet Li Shiming used a trillion ‘Refining Corpse Runes’ to convert space rules forcibly, which increased the space rules, ultimately elevating the ‘Flying Night Demon’s space ability to unimaginable heights.

Li Shiming, accompanied by the ‘Flying Night Demon’, returned, but the events at the ‘Thunder Prison’ had already spread.

He refined a ‘Flying Night Demon’; the Heavenly Tribulation of fifth-grade corpse refining still had traces; particularly, the number of Heavenly Tribulations on his side was somewhat excessive, with intelligence personnel sent by various super forces having studied the relevant knowledge.

This news made the great powers more frightened, completely extinguishing the thought of opposing him.
