Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2083: Chapter 1088: Late Stage

Li Shiming didn’t stay inside the Grotto Heaven; he stood in the void, at the boundary of the Immortal Domain.

After more than a hundred years, the Divine Domain seemed to have recovered its vitality, and occasionally ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ would enter the Immortal Domain to provoke.

Normally speaking, ascending in such a place is not a good choice.

But if ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ really come, they might not even know how they died.

All around him, all the Spiritual Pets were released, including Yin Shilan’s Red Gold Phoenix.

Little Feng, Little Phoenix, Illusion Spirit Dragon, Golden Winged Dapeng, Thunder Beast, eleven ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects’, a hundred and eight ’Eternal Water Bears’, and the Heavenly Ghost - the existence of such an army, even if a hundred fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ come, they would still be undefeatable.

Li Shiming’s mind was focused on the core inside the cave heaven, where the ’Five Elements Rule Runes’, ’Thunder Rule Rune’, ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’, and ’Space Rule Rune’ were constantly absorbing the energy from within the cave heaven.

All the rule runes were shining, and the energy accumulated over the years inside the cave heaven was continuously pouring into the cave heaven core.

After a massive influx of energy, the rule runes at the cave heaven core initially dimmed, and then turned into a radiant gold.

Li Shiming could sense that the ’Five Elements Rules Runes’, ’Thunder Rule Rune’, ’Sword Intent Rule Rune’, and ’Space Rule Rune’ had all evolved to another level, specifically to the level of Late Stage Great Power.

At this moment, the cave heaven core was not only absorbing energy but also emitting energy into the cave heaven.

It’s just that it absorbed Middle Stage Great Power level energy, but emitted energy at the Late Stage Great Power level.

He realized why the Late Stage Great Power and Middle Stage Great Power were entirely different realms.

Because the Late Stage Great Power level energy emitted by the cave heaven core was more than ten times more powerful than the Middle Stage Great Power level energy.

What does this mean? Even the most ordinary spell cast by a Late Stage Great Power could unleash power that could instantly kill a Middle Stage Great Power.

Just at the moment the rule runes at the cave heaven core evolved, Li Shiming felt his soul and flesh break through a shackles, enhancing his soul and making his body more formidable.

His body no longer needed defense and could directly withstand the ordinary attacks of Middle Stage Great Powers.

No wonder that day when he used the thunder attack against Great Power Lu Wei’s body, the damage was extremely limited; fortunately, the paralysis effect of the thunder attack left Great Power Lu Wei in a rigid state, giving him the chance to eliminate Lu Wei thoroughly.

The flesh of the Late Stage Great Power was incredibly strong, and this was right after ascending; as the Late Stage Great Power level energy continued to nourish, the body still had room for improvement.

As for the soul, it also had significant progress; perhaps the soul’s advancement wasn’t direct, but through the elevated spirit, the advancement of the soul could be known.

His spirit had increased fivefold, a fivefold increase, and the spiritual pressure emitted by his spirit could make Middle Stage Great Powers unable to move a single finger in his presence.

This was just a mental attack from one brain; if he used ten brains to launch spiritual attacks, he could directly obliterate Middle Stage Great Powers.

”Ants!” Li Shiming realized why Great Power Lu Wei had looked down on him; originally, Late Stage Great Powers regarded Middle Stage Great Powers just like ants.

Li Shiming’s ascension process was as if water flowed through the channel.

In fact, the reason his ascension was so smooth was because his accumulation was too strong.

Although his cultivation time was very short compared to other Great Powers, his opportunities were far beyond what other Great Powers could compare.

He possessed five Grotto Heavens; the production of cave heaven energy was more than two hundred times that of ordinary same-level Great Powers. He had also received the legacy from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s ancestor, received the Immortal Domain’s Angel inheritance, and gained deep insights into his own rules from the broken godhead of the Golden Saint.

He also had a large number of spiritual pets, each with its specialties, allowing him to perceive the differences of the rules from them.

Of course, the foundation of everything was his natal treasure IBMz15, with IBMz15’s computing power, he could simultaneously comprehend so many rules.

Look at other Great Powers; an ordinary Great Power would only delve deeply into one rule, and other rules would just be lightly studied.

Even so, those Great Powers may never comprehend a rule to the level that Li Shiming has.

Yet he mastered multiple rules simultaneously; a ’Five Elements Rule Rune’ is composed of the five rules runes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—all rules capable of consuming a Great Power’s lifetime to study.

He still possesses the Thunder Rules, Sword Intent Rule, and Space Rule; one could say the cultivation difficulty he set for himself is absolutely nightmare level.

The difference between him and other Great Powers is IBMz15, this natal treasure that seemingly doesn’t contribute any combat power, but can assist him in researching many aspects.

Li Shiming felt the changes after ascending and shook his head with a helpless smile.

This ascension caused ninety percent of the energy in his five Grotto Heavens to be expended, but even though the cave heaven energy was low, its power increased instead of decreased.

Fortunately, with his current strength, the need to use cave heaven energy was becoming increasingly rare.

He looked towards the Divine Domain, just now a team of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ approached; although ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ were fearless, they were still intimidated by the formation here, causing that team of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ to retreat back to the Divine Domain.
