Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1521 - 807: Sect Annihilation

The renowned Master Qiao from the White Emperor Sect, together with fellow Great Cultivators, gazed in stunned silence at the 'Thundercloud Technique' forming overhead in the heavens.

A wave of despair surged through the hearts of these Great Cultivators. They never imagined that the heavy toll they'd endured earlier to survive the initial twenty strikes from the 'Thundercloud Technique' would prove utterly futile.

The protective great formation of the Primeval Sect, combined with their exhausted condition, simply couldn't endure yet another barrage of twenty 'Thundercloud Technique' assaults.

To their horror, however, Li Shiming wasn't summoning just twenty 'Thundercloud Techniques'—he was conjuring a staggering forty in one go.

Each of these 'Thundercloud Techniques' held enough destructive force to wipe out any Great Cultivator there on the spot, a power far beyond what should exist on the Dongqi Continent. Even across the vast Central State Continent, only the mightiest spells from Peak Great Cultivators could match such devastating intensity.

The White Emperor Sect's Great Cultivator's gaze shifted uneasily, and in secret, he pulled out a Life-Saving Talisman before igniting its power.

His form morphed into a streak of golden-yellow light, hurtling straight toward the boundaries beyond the Primeval Sect's mountain gate.

He had no desire to linger any longer. Whatever doom awaited the Primeval Sect held no concern for him now.

Aware that he stood no chance against Li Shiming's onslaught, remaining behind would only seal his fate alongside the Primeval Sect's collapse.

Crafted by the formidable White Emperor Sect, this Life-Saving Talisman was an Earth Escape Talisman, infused with potent earth rules that enabled burrowing into the soil, making pursuit nearly impossible.

Yet inside the Primeval Sect's mountain gate, the ground was fortified by defensive formations, blocking Earth Escape's use and forcing him to flee through the sect's entrance first.

His abrupt flight enraged the Primeval Sect's Great Cultivators, who viewed such betrayal with utter contempt.

Still, they were powerless to stop it; they couldn't force the White Emperor Sect's Great Cultivator to share their deadly peril.

Moreover, they lacked the luxury to dwell on the fleeing White Emperor Sect Cultivator, as the 'Thundercloud Technique' barrage descended, heralding an even deadlier threat.

Thanks to the Primeval Sect's prior authorization within their great formation for the White Emperor Sect Cultivator, his departure faced no barriers from the array.

Right as the yellow Earth Escape radiance crossed the Primeval Sect's gate and began sinking into the earth, a sharp sword light flashed nearby, unleashing 'Chaos Sword Intent' as the 'Traceless Illusion Sword' cleaved into the escaping glow.

Li Shiming had foreseen that Great Cultivators inside the Primeval Sect might try to bolt and had positioned the 'Traceless Illusion Sword' in advance to intercept them.

The moment the White Emperor Sect Cultivator drew his Life-Saving Talisman, Li Shiming's 'Divine Eye' caught the action, letting him lie in wait beyond the great formation for the White Emperor Sect Cultivator's emergence.

Fate dealt the White Emperor Sect Cultivator a cruel hand, for those who had ever laid eyes on the 'Traceless Illusion Sword' were usually already dead; scarce few recognized it as his cherished Lifebound Flying Sword.

This held even truer since he openly presented himself as a Thunder Cultivator, leading all Great Cultivators to dismiss any notion of him also being a Sword Cultivator.

Commanding rules in dual paths was a feat beyond the grasp of nearly all Great Cultivators.

In the cultivation realm, Thunder Cultivation and Sword Cultivation rank as the most ferocious assault disciplines, and excelling in even one demands immense effort—mastering both seems outright impossible.

The 'Traceless Illusion Sword' collided with the Earth Escape glow. Despite the partial shielding from earth rules granted by the talisman, a single sweep of 'Chaos Sword Intent' severed the White Emperor Sect Cultivator from his Earth Escape form.

Although disrupting the Earth Escape drained a portion of the 'Chaos Sword Intent,' the leftover force pierced into the White Emperor Sect Cultivator's body, rampaging through his internals.

Li Shiming refrained from launching a follow-up strike; the 'Traceless Illusion Sword' dissolved after delivering that lone blow.

The White Emperor Sect Cultivator's plight didn't call for another attack. Though he hadn't perished yet, both his fleshly form and Nascent Soul suffered relentless corrosion from the 'Chaos Sword Intent,' rendering death inevitable soon enough.

The storied Primeval Sect, among the four premier powers of the Dongqi Continent with a legacy of ten millennia, now teetered on the brink of total annihilation.

Inside the Primeval Sect, the forty 'Thundercloud Technique' strikes shattered the great formation right from the outset.

Truth be told, Li Shiming's prior second wave had already inflicted severe harm on the Primeval Sect's defenses, and this third onslaught of 'Thundercloud Techniques' proved overwhelmingly fierce, rendering the formation incapable of holding.

"Escape, whoever can, escape!" Master Qiao bellowed, his eyes blazing with fury.

He refused to surrender without a fight, striving to carve out even the faintest chance of survival for his fellow Great Cultivators.

Yet it was painfully obvious that his efforts offered little hope; Li Shiming harbored no mercy for any Great Cultivator.

By now, fleeing had become a hopeless endeavor for the Great Cultivators; beneath the onslaught of forty 'Thundercloud Techniques,' evasion was out of the question.

Maybe earlier, had they joined the White Emperor Sect Cultivator in flight, Li Shiming couldn't have blocked them all, but that window had slammed shut.

As the 'Thundercloud Techniques' erupted in full fury, every cultivator—Great Cultivators in particular—became the lightning's favored prey within this zone.

Master Qiao witnessed a nearby Great Cultivator get blasted by a bolt. In a flash, the vital essence of his body vanished, and the Nascent Soul housed inside was utterly incinerated by the thunder.
