Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1786 - 939: Test_2

Just as he had experienced with the 'Thunder Sound Bell' previously, without the remote assistance of his main body, Li Shiming, he would have been completely overwhelmed by the 'Thunder Sound Bell'.

"How could a Buddhist treasure possess such destructive power?" Li Yuanba couldn't help but question aloud.

The 'Thunder Sound Bell' possesses the terrifying ability to assault the souls of all living beings within a ten-thousand-meter radius. Its power to suppress and annihilate even peak Great Cultivators suggests that once activated, no life would likely remain within that vast area.

If such a formidable treasure were unleashed on a Cultivator battlefield, the annihilation of everyone present would be swift and absolute.

Its efficiency in dispatching lives surpasses even his own 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak,' making it second only to the 'Great Dragon's Fury' as a tool of mass destruction.

However, the hundred-year refinement time for a single 'Great Dragon's Fury' makes the 'Thunder Sound Bell' appear even more devastatingly potent in comparison.

Li Yuanba chuckled as he put away the 'Thunder Sound Bell,' a treasure that felt so perfectly suited to him, as if it were an extension of his own being.

Next, he produced the 'Infinite Fire Peak.' After establishing his mastery, the 'Infinite Fire Peak' settled comfortably in his palm.

He possessed a profound understanding of mountain peak-type magical treasures.

Yet, the 'Infinite Fire Peak' diverged from the norm. Upon closer examination, its fiery surface lacked any physical substance, existing entirely as solidified flames.

As the master of the 'Infinite Fire Peak,' he could perceive its internal workings. It housed a fifth-grade Fire Element Spirit Jade, intricately inscribed with corresponding rule imprints by a practitioner deeply versed in the Laws of Fire.

The creation of the 'Infinite Fire Peak' involved an exceptionally complex application of rules, far beyond his comprehension at his present Cultivation level.

Being a fifth-grade treasure, the 'Infinite Fire Peak' demanded a colossal amount of energy to operate. Even for Li Yuanba, activating it required one-fifth of his entire Spiritual Power Pattern, and that was merely to achieve a minimal function.

It became clear why the Infinite Sect's team required six Great Cultivators to operate the 'Infinite Fire Peak' collectively. For a single peak Great Cultivator attempting to wield it alone, their Spiritual Power Pattern would likely be completely depleted after only a few uses.

Li Yuanba only managed to push the 'Infinite Fire Peak' to its maximum state before shrinking it back to its smallest form, refraining from truly unleashing its power.

He gazed at the 'Infinite Fire Peak' in his hand with a slight frown. It was undeniably a treasure of immense offensive capability, yet it did not align with his innate attributes.

The expenditure of energy required for him to wield it was significantly greater than that of a peak Great Cultivator from the Infinite Sect, yielding substantially less impressive results.

The true terror of the 'Infinite Fire Peak' lay in its capacity to wield practitioner-level Laws and the powerful binding force it generated upon expansion, effectively immobilizing opposing Cultivators.

Imprisonment was merely the prelude. When the 'Infinite Fire Peak' descended, its practitioner-level flame Laws would intensify the inferno, reducing the trapped Cultivators to mere ash.

Li Yuanba himself had previously been subjected to the 'Infinite Fire Peak's' assault, finding himself ensnared by its binding power. Had it not been for the 'Beidou Formation Map' providing a means of resistance, he might have met his end, suppressed by the 'Infinite Fire Peak' that day.

"What a shame. I suppose my main body will have to utilize it once I return!" Li Yuanba declared with a hint of resignation.

Possessing the 'Infinite Fire Peak' at this moment felt like a waste; it was likely most suited for Li Shiming's use.

Li Shiming's Five Elements Affinity included fire, and he also commanded the 'Nanming Leaving Fire,' a potent Flame Divine Power. This would allow his five Nascent Souls to sustain the prolonged operation of the 'Infinite Fire Peak.'

Li Yuanba carefully stored the 'Infinite Fire Peak' and finally brought forth the 'Eye of the Storm.'

The 'Eye of the Storm' presented itself as a spherical eyeball. The specific creature to which this eyeball belonged remained unknown, but based on Li Yuanba's assessment, it was highly probable that it originated from an ancient, immensely powerful Divine Beast.

The eyeball served as a core component, adorned with intricate practitioner-level rule imprints both internally and externally.

The 'Eye of the Storm' did not necessitate a significant energy input. Li Yuanba only needed to infuse a small amount of his Spiritual Power Pattern to bring it to life.

Upon activation, the 'Eye of the Storm' naturally drew ambient energy from the void, replenishing itself while simultaneously emanating wind-elemental energy.

This wind-elemental energy, under the command of the 'Eye of the Storm's' master, possessed the remarkable ability to shapeshift freely.

When the wind-elemental energy coalesced into a vortex, a defensive shield composed of wind elements would materialize around the wielder.

The "Eye of the Storm," a vortex shield, was utilized by Great Cultivator Le to deflect the onslaught of arrows from the 'Sun Shooting Bow,' fired by a late-stage Golden Corpse. It's remarkable considering these arrows surpass the mightiest blow of a peak Great Cultivator.

Yet, this formidable assault was effortlessly parried by the 'Eye of the Storm.'

While Great Cultivator Le had not yet revealed the offensive capabilities of the 'Eye of the Storm,' a surge of emotion from Li Yuanba instantly transmuted the emitted wind-elemental Qi from the artifact into razor-sharp Wind Blades that radiated outwards.

Each Wind Blade, imbued with practitioner-level wind-elemental laws, possessed the power to cleave through the defenses of even a peak Great Cultivator with ease.

Furthermore, an astonishing array of over a hundred such Wind Blades was unleashed; the user could conjure even more if so inclined.

"Fortunate it is that such treasures are uncommon; otherwise, what purpose would dedicated cultivation serve!" Li Yuanba mused aloud.

Indeed, the 'Eye of the Storm' would empower an average Great Cultivator to withstand assaults from a peak Great Cultivator, and a direct hit could prove fatal to the latter.

The widespread availability of treasures capable of overcoming cultivation level differences could undoubtedly sow immense chaos.

Unbeknownst to Li Yuanba, the extraordinary items he had acquired were by no means easily produced.

Each artifact represented a colossal expenditure of effort by its creators, particularly in the procurement of materials which, though not entirely unique, were exceedingly scarce across the known realms.

Even post-forging, these items necessitate millennia of nurturing within a Grotto Heaven to attain their current level of potency.

If ordinary practitioners could simply imbue any refining material with a practitioner rule, treasures forged by cultivators would not be such a rarity.

The collection of treasures in Li Yuanba's possession constituted the accumulated heritage of five formidable powers; even the loss of these items would inflict profound anguish upon their original owners.

The 'Crossing Void Shuttle' ascended from the sea's surface, its journey now directed over the land, as Li Yuanba carefully stored away the 'Eye of the Storm.'

Abruptly, a flicker of lightning materialized before him, coalescing into a distinct form.

"Greetings, esteemed fellow!" The apparition, a phantom avatar, was mounted upon a magnificent Thunder Beast.

"Greetings to you as well, fellow cultivator!" Li Yuanba responded with a genial smile.

This phantom manifestation had journeyed from the Dongqi Continent, exactly as pre-arranged.

He presented a jade box containing the Nascent Soul of the Great Cultivator Le, which was dutifully accepted by the phantom avatar. Mounting the Thunder Beast once more, the avatar dissolved into the brilliant coruscation of lightning.

Li Shiming harbored a strong desire for the phantom avatar to possess the Nascent Soul of Great Cultivator Le.

Presently, the phantom avatar existed as an incorporeal energy form, its physical vessel, sustained by the Nascent Soul, unable to endure without a continuous influx of energy from its source.

During the preceding conflict, Li Yuanba had deliberately ensured the preservation of Great Cultivator Le’s Nascent Soul.

Acquiring the Nascent Soul of a peak Great Cultivator proved a challenge for him, unlike for the main body, Li Shiming; his typical offensive techniques tended to obliterate both the physical form and the Nascent Soul in unison.

Only attacks from a late-stage Golden Corpse lacked the complete destructive force to annihilate a peak Great Cultivator entirely, thus affording them an opportunity for Nascent Soul Emergence.

With the Nascent Soul of Great Cultivator Le secured, the phantom avatar was anticipated to soon manifest a physical form once more.

Li Yuanba refrained from entrusting the treasures to the phantom avatar, not out of possessiveness, but because, as an extension of the main body Li Shiming, he prioritized allocating the most valuable resources to him.

Nevertheless, these particular treasures originated from five distinct great powers.

Their current possession by him presented an uncertain future; therefore, he deemed it prudent to retain the five treasures readily available for unforeseen contingencies.

Even the 'Infinite Fire Peak,' offering minimal utility to him personally, was to be kept safe until the prevailing situation stabilized before considering its transfer to Li Shiming.

The 'Crossing Void Shuttle' piloted by Li Yuanba traversed the skies for half a day at a consistent velocity, eventually reaching its intended destination: a vital resource site for Great Cultivators.
