Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Shiming's unusual entry into the Divine Palace and possession of the Heavenly Mechanism Treasure made him a target for multiple factions. While traversing the mortal world, he gained new insights before being confronted by Great Power Wuda of the Wind Demon Sect. Wuda, unable to discern his cultivation or origin, questioned him about his methods of entering the Divine Palace. Li Shiming refused to answer, leading to Wuda's dissatisfaction and a challenge to a duel.

Li Shiming carefully retreated to a distance of one kilometer from Great Power Wuda, a strategic position for a clash between Great Cultivators.

He recognized, however, that this proximity was still perilously close for a Great Power Avatar. Yet, he hesitated to distance himself further, fearing that Great Power Wuda might interpret it as an attempt to flee and launch an assault prematurely.

The prospect of confronting a Great Power Avatar ignited a thrill within him.

The last encounter with such a formidable entity had been during a desperate flight for survival, with his combat prowess woefully inadequate to even consider a fight.

This time, the circumstances were different. He had reached the Peak Great Cultivator Realm, and Great Power Wuda had agreed to a direct confrontation.

Most critically, he possessed a teleportation ring, offering a discreet escape route should the need arise.

"Senior, I shall commence my attack now!" Li Shiming stood resolute, offering a respectful address to Great Power Wuda.

Great Power Wuda observed him with keen interest, anticipating a demonstration of extraordinary skill.

As a distinguished figure of the Wind Demon Sect, her cultivation had been confined to the Grotto Heaven since attaining Great Power status.

Her inherent nature was that of a spirited, vivacious Witch, and having found unexpected amusement, she was intent on witnessing the unfolding spectacle.

The notion of Li Shiming posing any genuine threat to her was entirely inconceivable.

Even as a Great Power Avatar, the intrinsic energy within her far surpassed anything a Peak Great Cultivator could hope to contend with.

Great Power Wuda offered a slight nod, granting Li Shiming permission to unleash his full might.

Li Shiming, never one to shy away from a challenge, saw this as a precious opportunity to gauge the true chasm between his own strength and that of a Great Power.

He marshaled his mental focus to its maximum, activating one hundred 'Thunder Fall Skills' simultaneously, each executed with unparalleled precision.

Augmented by the potent spiritual treasure, the 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer,' and bolstered by the spatial support of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' from his chamber, every 'Thunder Fall Skill' represented his ultimate offensive capability.

He withheld nothing, aware that a spiritual treasure like the 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer' would offer little concealment from Great Power Wuda's penetrating gaze.

Nevertheless, he had strategically chosen extreme long-distance teleportation; even Great Power Wuda would find it impossible to pursue him into the distant Dongqi Continent, a realm whose exact distance remained elusive.

"A spiritual treasure!" Great Power Wuda's delicate eyebrows arched subtly, and she commented with a light chuckle.

In her estimation, the spiritual treasure 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer' was already destined to be hers.

She considered it fortunate that Li Shiming had chosen to traverse near the Wind Demon Sect's domain; had another Great Power intercepted him, such a prize would have undoubtedly fallen into different hands.

As these thoughts occupied her, a sudden disturbance rippled through the void.

She swiftly discerned an anomaly; this was not the power a Peak Master of Thunder Cultivation could typically command.

Li Shiming had opted for the 'Thunder Fall Skill' over the 'Thunder Cloud Skill' due to the latter's excessively long preparation time. While a barrage of a hundred 'Thunder Cloud Skills' would possess far greater destructive force than a similar number of 'Thunder Fall Skills,' the extended casting period might have afforded Great Power Wuda ample opportunity to react.

The 'Thunder Fall Skill' manifested as a singular bolt of lightning, whereas the 'Thunder Cloud Skill' unleashed a continuous torrent of lightning, relentlessly bombarding targets within a designated area.

Great Power Wuda sensed the deviation from the norm, but the volley of a hundred 'Thunder Fall Skills' was already in motion.

An innumerable cascade of lightning bolts hurtled towards her. Bolstered by the might of the Thunder Cultivation Peak Master's realm, and further amplified by the synergistic effects of the spiritual treasures 'Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer' and 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl,' the potency of each 'Thunder Fall Skill' bordered on the half-step Great Power level.

"Boom!" With a resounding explosion, the spatial coordinates of Great Power Wuda's Avatar were simultaneously engulfed by a hundred lightning strikes, unleashing a blinding luminescence that dwarfed the radiance of both sea and sky.

Li Shiming could feel the very fabric of the void shudder, sensing that a mere increase in power might have directly fractured the space before him.

He himself experienced a residual tingling sensation from the sheer force of the hundred 'Thunder Fall Skills'; given his own defensive capabilities, even a solitary 'Thunder Fall Skill' would have inflicted severe injury.

He gazed intently at the point where Great Power Wuda's Avatar had been struck, eager to comprehend the true magnitude of a Great Power's might.

As the dazzling light subsided, Great Power Wuda's Avatar emerged unharmed.

The combined assault of a hundred empowered 'Thunder Fall Skills' from a Peak Great Cultivator had failed to leave any discernible mark on Great Power Wuda's Avatar.

To Li Shiming, nothing appeared to have changed at all.

"It's my turn now!" Great Power Wuda endeavored to keep her emotions in check; as a Great Power, she would not allow herself to be embarrassed.

She struggled to quell her murderous intent, as capturing Li Shiming was paramount; his hidden knowledge was her true objective.

Mobilizing the Qi within her being, she unleashed an ineffable power that manifested as unseen winds lashing out at Li Shiming.

Li Shiming observed that Great Power Wuda's Avatar remained unscathed, and he distinctly perceived Wuda's suppressed rage.

He understood that his previous assault had provoked Great Power Wuda, and he also acknowledged the significant difference in power between them.

The subsequent assaults from Great Power Wuda were beyond his capacity to endure, prompting him to immediately activate the Dongqi Continent coordinates within his teleportation ring via his pre-arranged mental command.
