Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 623 - 358 Siege

Li Shiming made his decision and didn’t hesitate any longer.

As Senior Brother Zhao’s mountain peak type magical treasure was about to envelop him, a white lotus flower appeared beneath Li Shiming’s feet.

The mountain peak type magical treasure couldn’t restrain divine skills since divine skills surpass the higher levels of ordinary cultivation techniques, touching the edges of the rules.

Li Shiming vanished from beneath the mountain peak type magical treasure and reappeared beside Senior Brother Zhao.

In that instant, he not only placed himself within the tortoiseshell formation composed of nine Golden Core cultivators but also accomplished several other tasks.

This was thanks to his lifebound magical treasure IBMz15, whose multi-threaded operations allowed him to perform actions that would normally require undivided attention of the brain, all while casting "Step by Step Lotus".

The Galaxy Peak treasure he had just obtained, now containing almost two-thirds of Earth Evil Power, acted upon the heads of Senior Brother Zhao and the other eight Golden Core cultivators once it liberated from the confinement of Senior Brother Zhao’s mountain peak type magical treasure.

Similarly, Li Shiming himself fell within the attack range of Galaxy Peak. However, as the master of Galaxy Peak, he faced significantly reduced effects and was still capable of using body refinement strength to launch attacks within its attack range.

Releasing Galaxy Peak was just one of the actions taken; he also released all thirteen Silver Corpses, six of which he had upgraded while on the Sword Holding Peak of Shushan Sect.

Six consecutive bouts of Heavenly Thunder, thankfully, hadn’t caused too much disturbance since he had notified the sect in advance.

But rumors about Li Shiming cultivating multiple Silver Corpses had started in Shushan Sect, and if he hadn’t decided to silence them, he wouldn’t have wanted to reveal so many Silver Corpses all at once.

Among the Golden Core cultivators of the Beishu Continent, a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator owning multiple Silver Corpses would make it easy for others to link them to Li Shiming, the Alchemy Master.

Once Li Shiming decided to utilize "Step by Step Lotus", he no longer considered other possibilities and resolved that he must silence all Golden Core cultivators present.

If the news of him mastering "Step by Step Lotus" leaked, it would cause tremendous trouble, especially since he had recently and easily learned "Divine Eye Skill" in front of the Venerable from Qianye Temple, which could lead to many past events being suspected of his involvement.

Li Shiming didn’t wish for his true self to attract too much trouble, as it would be detrimental to his cultivation.

The thirteen Silver Corpses didn’t join the assault; instead, each of their hands held a Third Grade Array Flag, surrounding the tortoiseshell formation of the Earth Evil Sect’s Golden Core cultivators.

Among these Silver Corpses, eleven were six-armed Silver Corpses, each capable of holding six array flags.

The formation they created served not only to seal off the area, but also to prevent communication from within.

Bear in mind that all the Golden Core cultivators here had Identity Jade Discs, and some might have communication tokens, all capable of transmitting the events here back to their sect or friends.

The primary function of the thirteen Silver Corpses was to prevent such communication from occurring.

As Galaxy Peak descended, it was clear that a single mountain peak treasure had a tough time fully restraining nine cultivators who were at least at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

As these Golden Core cultivators struggled, the descent of Galaxy Peak slowed, and the suppressive force upon them weakened slightly.

However, this provided little benefit to most of them. Taking advantage of the opportunity with Galaxy Peak suppressing the cultivators, Li Shiming launched his attack.

The first one he aimed to kill, of course, was the strongest—Senior Brother Zhao.

But when his Third Grade Sword Base swept over Senior Brother Zhao’s body, it was blocked by Earth Evil Power as solid as rock.

Clearly, Senior Brother Zhao’s mastery of Earth Evil Power far exceeded that of the other Golden Core cultivators. As one of Great Elder Level, he had touched upon a hint of the Nascent Soul Secret, making his Earth Evil Power vastly more formidable.

When Li Shiming realized his strike couldn’t kill Senior Brother Zhao, he immediately changed direction.

His Third Grade Sword Base swept over the other eight Golden Core cultivators. At such close range, he hardly needed to move to slash his Third Grade Sword Base across the bodies of the eight cultivators.

Eight swords, each stroke taking away the life of a Mid-stage Cultivator. It is likely that such a battle, where the weak overpowered the strong, had never been seen before in the Cultivation World.

Galaxy Peak didn’t continue to fall. The process of restraining the nine Golden Core cultivators had depleted the Earth Evil Power inside it.

Galaxy Peak shrank back to a small peak, no longer able to exert any sealing power.

At this point on the battlefield, only Li Shiming and Senior Brother Zhao remained.

Senior Brother Zhao looked at Li Shiming, then at the thirteen Silver Corpses, with an even greater sense of shock in his eyes than before.

"Who exactly are you?" he asked in a deep voice.

Li Shiming was preparing to answer him, but suddenly swung out his Third Grade Sword Foundation Magical Treasure, launching a full-force attack on him.

Because through the unmanned satellite system, Li Shiming saw that the Nascent Soul Ancestor was approaching the checkpoint.

Since the unmanned satellite system didn’t cover the entire territory of the Earth Evil Sect, by the time he noticed the Nascent Soul Ancestor, he was already at a relatively dangerous distance.

Luckily, the Nascent Soul Ancestor did not know the situation of the battle here, thinking his disciple had the upper hand in the fight. He was merely coming to see which sect’s cultivator dared to provoke the Earth Evil Sect.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor would very likely pin the blame on one of the five big sects, demanding an explanation.
