Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1729 - 911: Dragon’s Wrath

Twenty years had elapsed since Li Shiming’s return to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. During this extensive period, he had navigated through life without encountering any significant adversities.

Currently, his standing within the Cultivation World is exceptionally elevated. As a renowned Alchemy Master, adept at consistently refining high-level Spirit Pills for Great Cultivators, this expertise commands profound respect from every Great Cultivator and every established faction.

However, these formidable cultivators and influential factions remain oblivious to the fact that it was only after two decades that the gnawing anxieties within him finally began to recede.

The Spatial Energy within the teleportation ring gracing his finger had recuperated, rendering the spatial coordinates leading to the underwater mansion nestled within the Cloud Island Sea fully operational for immediate activation.

This newfound capability instilled in him the confidence to survive encounters with powerful adversaries. Naturally, being situated within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect on the Dongqi Continent, surrounded by numerous individuals he held dear, he refrained from reckless actions, unlike his endeavors in the Cloud Island Sea, despite possessing the means for self-preservation.

Perhaps as a consequence of his inner burdens lifting, a sense of rejuvenation washed over him, leading to an even greater enhancement of his state of mind.

A few days prior, Yin Shilan had journeyed to Luanyang Palace. Her cultivation realm in the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique' necessitated stabilization, requiring further advanced guidance at Luanyang Palace.

A phantom clone, escorted by two Late-stage Golden Corpses and a formidable Thunder Beast, provided protection during her travels.

Due to personal circumstances, Li Shiming found himself unable to accompany her to the Central State Continent.

This inability to travel was unrelated to the restored Spatial Energy within his teleportation ring. In truth, the formidable adversary who posed a threat to him would find it virtually impossible to harm Yin Shilan. However, should he personally escort her to the Central State Continent, the circumstances would undoubtedly change drastically.

This was particularly true concerning the Great Power Luo Yuan from the Yuqing Sect. Even after several decades, the Yuqing Sect had not managed to recuperate its former strength. Furthermore, with numerous resource points falling under enemy control, the Yuqing Sect’s influence continued to dwindle.

All these detrimental developments were a direct result of Li Shiming's actions, compounded by the incident involving the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl.' Although Great Power Luo Yuan had been cautioned by several other Great Powers against engaging Li Shiming on the Dongqi Continent, if Li Shiming were to voluntarily depart the Dongqi Continent, Great Power Luo Yuan would face considerably fewer constraints.

These critical pieces of intelligence were relayed to him by Jian Wuwei, as part of the ongoing intelligence-sharing cooperation between allied parties.

Despite Li Shiming's current reputation being at its absolute peak, his enemies, who were even more formidable than himself, ensured that even the slightest misstep could plunge him into an irretrievable predicament. He was, after all, a supremely powerful Peak Great Cultivator and a premier Alchemy Master.

Great Power Luo Yuan loomed like a Sword of Damocles, perpetually threatening his existence.

It was precisely this ever-present threat from Great Power Luo Yuan that prevented Li Shiming from allowing himself much respite, even after ascending to the status of a Peak Great Cultivator.

Although he spent his days closely with Yin Shilan, at his advanced cultivation level, these interactions primarily served to deepen his insights, which were then processed by other faculties of his mind.

“Hmm!” Li Shiming suddenly sensed something amiss as his life-bound artifact, IBMz15, issued a notification.

His form vanished instantaneously from his location, and he materialized within the confines of the 'Half-Life Cave Heaven.'

The Half-Life Cave Heaven operation was under the direct supervision of the Artifact Spirit of the 'Heavenly Compass.' Beyond its environmental management duties, the Artifact Spirit was tasked with the critical production of military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' utilizing the 'Heavenly Compass.'

As a potent spiritual treasure, the 'Heavenly Compass' possessed the inherent capability to continuously purify 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.'

After numerous years of sustained effort, the 'Heavenly Compass' had finally accumulated a sufficient quantity of military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence.'

According to calculations performed by IBMz15, with the current concentration, a minimum of fifteen kilograms of military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' would be required to initiate a nuclear explosion.

Following years of relentless production, the total accumulated amount was finally adequate for the construction of the super bomb Li Shiming had been conceptualizing since his initial entry into the Cultivation World.

The theoretical underpinnings for constructing this super bomb were astonishingly straightforward. Employing a gun-like mechanism, the detonation of a small explosive would propel a small quantity of military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' into the larger reserve, thereby catalyzing nuclear fission and unleashing a devastating explosion.

Li Shiming had long since finalized preparations for all other necessary components. Once the military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' reached the required quantity, its integration would signify the completion of the manufacturing process.

He moved with extreme caution within the hazardous environment of the Half-Life Cave Heaven.

Even with his formidable strength as a Peak Great Cultivator, without donning multiple layers of radiation-proof attire, resisting the pervasive radiation emanating from the military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' would prove exceedingly difficult.

Given that the military-grade 'Hell Disgust Crystal Essence' is only fourth grade, he couldn't possibly comprehend the repercussions of a nuclear fission explosion.

Despite IBMz15 performing numerous simulated calculations, the results proved unreliable due to disparities in uranium properties between the two worlds.

In his former existence, uranium possessed potent radiation. Conversely, within the Cultivation World, uranium, known as 'Hell Disgust Crystal,' becomes a fourth-grade material when influenced by Spiritual Energy.

Shortly thereafter, within the Half-Life Cave Heaven, a metallic sphere materialized—a foreign object to this realm, measuring one meter in radius.

A dedicated space within the Half-Life Cave Heaven was designated for the safekeeping of this metallic sphere.

He christened the metallic sphere 'Great Dragon's Fury.' Though his soul had transitioned to the Cultivation World, he still identified as a descendant of dragons. Thus, the ultimate weapon forged with his prior life's technology bore the fitting name 'Great Dragon's Fury.'

The intense radiation emanating from 'Great Dragon's Fury' inflicted an erosive effect upon any spatial item. Should this radiation penetrate and annihilate the rune of a spatial item, that item would inevitably crumble.
