Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1677 - 885: The End
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
A late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ shattered the array shield, leading a horde of ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ straight into the formation’s core.
As the closest Great Cultivator, Li Shiming restrained his impulse to unleash everything, unsure if his ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword’ could resist the erosion from a late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast.’
He refused to think Yuzhu Islands lacked a backup plan, ready to activate ’One Leap Away’ for escape if things spiraled out of control.
Who would gamble their life for mere hired pay!
Still, he split hundreds of sword lights from the ’Glazed Flying Cloud Sword,’ hacking at the ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ flooding through the array breach, while steering clear of the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast.’
Even though the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ had invaded the array’s depths, every island retained its own protective barrier as a backup defense.
Li Shiming intended to pull back the moment those secondary shields fell, certain Yuzhu Islands couldn’t fault him after that.
While he was cutting down masses of ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts,’ a fearsome aura erupted from the central island.
A radiant beam then lanced from the main island toward the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast.’ Though the beast detected the incoming strike, it remained frozen in place, helpless as the light hurtled closer.
That light drilled right through the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast,’ snuffing out the vital force of this spirit beast rivaling a human Great Cultivator.
The beam kept going, morphing into a streak vanishing into the horizon.
Through his ’Heavenly Eye,’ Li Shiming saw the wrist-thick ray only fade after traveling ten thousand meters.
Over its ten-thousand-meter path, the light obliterated anything in its way.
No ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ or seawater could endure contact with the light; all it touched simply ceased to exist.
From the main island’s direction, Grandmaster Wu Ding used some technique to claim the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’s’ body, leaving Li Shiming slightly disappointed since he’d wanted to examine it.
This was Yuzhu Islands’ domain, and with a Half-step Great Power’s recent display, Li Shiming had no desire to provoke them over a spirit beast carcass.
The demise of the late-stage fourth-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ struck fear into the remaining ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ pack.
Countless ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ halted their charge; some fled backward, others scattered sideways.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, believing the beast tide had finally ended.
He reflected on the Half-step Great Power’s strike, infused with countless rules, its might dwarfing even a Peak Great Cultivator’s. Not even his strongest ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ fused with the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’s’ Thunder Skill could rival one-tenth of that blast.
His Life Magic Treasure, IBMz15, captured the Half-step Great Power’s attack, presenting Li Shiming with a flood of data all focused on that light beam.
"Prepare, it’s not over yet!" Grandmaster Wu Ding’s voice rang out.
Li Shiming jolted alert at once, watching the withdrawing ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’ horde regroup and surge forward again.
He eyed the array’s damaged section. An Array Master had mended it, but hastily, leaving that barrier far weaker than the rest and prone to cracking soon.
What made ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ so dreadful was their corrosive mist. Absent that, any Nascent Soul Cultivator could wipe out these third-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ with ease.
But the corrosive mist deterred direct artifact use by cultivators, and even energy assaults fizzled quickly inside it.
Cultivators’ wide-range strikes lost much of their punch, forcing repeated hits to take down ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts.’
The overwhelming quantity of ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ had overwhelmed Yuzhu Islands’ array defenses.
Naturally, Li Shiming saw that among the thirty-six Great Cultivators there, only the Yuzhu Islands locals had gone all out; the rest held back their true abilities.
Li Shiming himself acted likewise; unleashing fully, he could hold off a whole wave of ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ alone.
Li Shiming sent out three hundred more sword lights, stationing them beyond the array shield, especially around the earlier breach.
Waves towering a hundred meters high rolled in like solid walls, blackened by the dense masses of ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ packed inside, altering the water’s hue.
Great Cultivators kept firing diverse long-distance energy barrages, pounding the ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ riding those waves.
Every strike birthed vast clouds of corrosive fog.
Still, the assaults hardly impeded the waves’ relentless push.
Right as the waves loomed to smash the array shield, something shocking happened.
All the ’Xuan You Wujin Beasts’ in the wave detonated at the same instant. A single third-grade ’Xuan You Wujin Beast’s’ explosion held little force, but from endless numbers combined, the result was devastatingly huge.
