Cultivation is just so scientific!
Chapter 1802 - 947: Fist Kill (Part 2)
The main problem was that Li Yuanba’s level was too low and couldn’t harm the half-step great power Zhao Zhao at all.
Half-step great power Zhao Zhao felt his condition, with his injuries worsening during this rapid battle. If he waited any longer, Duke of Thunder would catch up.
When that time came, he still wouldn’t escape the Duke of Thunder’s attack, so he needed to take care of this big trouble.
A hint of madness flashed in his eyes; it wasn’t that he had no way to deal with the Duke of Thunder.
This was his Grotto Heaven, and he had always been careful to maintain the energy stability within it, only mobilizing the energy in limited amounts each time.
Knowing there was a possibility of falling, he decided to risk his strongest attack and eliminate the Duke of Thunder first.
After the Duke of Thunder fell, even if he was severely injured, dealing with Li Yuanba wouldn’t be a problem.
Thinking of this, his body suddenly stopped, and he fully mobilized the energy of the Grotto Heaven.
The Duke of Thunder appeared beside him, throwing a punch, and he did not dodge. What he needed to do was exchange injury for injury.
A small white fireball appeared in the void, flying towards the Duke of Thunder.
The Duke of Thunder’s punch would perhaps land on the half-step great power Zhao Zhao first, but the white fireball would hit the Duke of Thunder in the next moment.
The Duke of Thunder instinctively felt the might of the white fireball, and Li Yuanba also sensed the attacking flames beside him, which suddenly extinguished as if they had lost energy support.
This was because the half-step great power Zhao Zhao had drawn a large portion of the Grotto Heaven’s flame energy to form the white fireball.
The power of this white fireball was equivalent to an attack that combined the entire Grotto Heaven’s flame rules and the cultivation accumulated by the half-step great power Zhao Zhao. This was the full-strength strike of the half-step great power Zhao Zhao.
The Duke of Thunder reacted quickly, immediately retracting his fist, with his wings protecting his entire body.
When the white fireball attacked the Duke of Thunder’s wings, a spatial rift appeared, and the white fireball entered the rift.
Then the white fireball emerged from behind the half-step great power Zhao Zhao and hit his back.
Although the white fireball contained some energy from the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, it still held a large portion of the flame energy from the Grotto Heaven, which he could not fully control.
If he could truly control it, he would no longer be just newly entering the half-step great power realm.
Of course, the flame energy within the white fireball couldn’t harm the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, but part of the energy might still affect him.
When the white fireball hit the half-step great power Zhao Zhao’s back, it felt as if he had been pushed from behind, causing his body to involuntarily crash towards the Duke of Thunder.
Having just mobilized most of the flame energy from the Grotto Heaven, he caused some instability within it, requiring more time for him to perform space movement freely.
This prevented him from timely executing space movement as his body lunged towards the Duke of Thunder.
The Duke of Thunder transferred the white fireball to the back of the half-step great power Zhao Zhao with a plan.
In this kind of battle, how could the real Li Shiming just stand by and watch? He was already involved in analyzing and commanding the battle.
This battle plan was formulated in collaboration between Li Shiming and IBMz15, and the effect was as analyzed.
The Duke of Thunder punched the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, sending him flying.
This punch, combined with his previous injuries, caused significant damage to the half-step great power Zhao Zhao.
In a seriously injured state, his resistance to the Thunder Sound was reduced, and his soul became sluggish under its influence.
The Duke of Thunder’s figure vanished from his original position, then reappeared behind the half-step great power Zhao Zhao’s flying body, punching him again.
The half-step great power Zhao Zhao flew in the opposite direction, and the Duke of Thunder once again vanished, appearing in the direction Zhao Zhao was flying to, delivering another punch.
The half-step great power Zhao Zhao’s body flew back and forth under the punches, initially struggling to raise his hands defensively, reducing the attack’s power.
But after enduring several punches, he completely turned into a sandbag, repeatedly pounded by the Duke of Thunder.
The Duke of Thunder maintained the frequency of his attacks, with no intention of stopping.
Despite consuming a lot of energy by performing space rift transfer of the half-step great power Zhao Zhao’s attack, such close combat punches consumed little energy, allowing him to persist for a long time.
Li Yuanba knew that the battle was decided, and with the protection of the ’Eye of the Storm’ Vortex Shield, he could move freely within the Grotto Heaven.
He released his divine sense, scanning the Grotto Heaven.
Soon he located the Grotto Heaven’s Heavenly Mechanism Treasure, which looked like an ordinary red flame.
In a Grotto Heaven filled with flames, discovering what was special about such an ordinary red flame wasn’t easy.
When Li Yuanba’s divine sense scanned the red flame, the ’Six Yang Spirit Fire’ within him trembled continuously, showing fear towards the red flame.
Just as he was planning to examine it closely, the Grotto Heaven suddenly lost its color, with even the flames turning black and white.
He experienced this before, knowing that it signified the owner’s fall, causing this sight to appear.
He looked towards the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, whose body was floating in the air without any sign of life.
The surface of Zhao Zhao’s body showed no injuries; the Duke of Thunder used fists to attack, and his body was incredibly resilient. The Duke of Thunder’s fists killed him by force.
Li Yuanba hesitated not at all. With a wave of his hand, he released several Prohibition Talismans on the red flame.
The red flame, having lost its owner, was sealed by the restrictions transformed from the Prohibition Talismans, and he stored it in a jade box.
He then collected the body of the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, glancing at the Grotto Heaven with a tinge of regret in his eyes.
After the fall of the half-step great power Zhao Zhao, this Grotto Heaven would gradually collapse.
He wished to preserve it, but unfortunately, the real Li Shiming was not here; otherwise, using the Heavenly Ghost to try to devour the half-step great power Zhao Zhao’s soul might have preserved the Grotto Heaven.
After examining the Grotto Heaven once more, he found no other Spiritual Objects.
Just as he was about to leave, the fire within the Grotto Heaven was disappearing, all transforming into dead energy, collapsing with the Grotto Heaven.
He shook his head, summoned back the Duke of Thunder, and with a flash of his figure, exited the Grotto Heaven.
Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s Nascent Soul floated in the air; he did not move, ponderously thinking.
This mission was a huge loss for him, with his physical body being slain, his life-long cultivation turned to naught.
Although he could start cultivating again, the cost of rebuilding was too high, especially once he reached his previous level and wanted to progress further, it would be much harder than before.
Therefore, even if a cultivator found the best substitute body, they wouldn’t choose to rebuild their Nascent Soul.
The reason he hadn’t left was because he was waiting—waiting for orders from the half-step great power Zhao Zhao.
In his state, seeking better compensation upon returning to the Infinite Sect required the half-step great power Zhao Zhao to speak on his behalf.
While waiting and idly pondering, a figure appeared in the void.
Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s Nascent Soul reacted a beat slow; in fact, even if he reacted quickly, there was nothing he could do against Li Yuanba with only his Nascent Soul left.
Li Yuanba reached out and grasped the Nascent Soul of Great Cultivator Wei Lang, releasing Sword Intent from his fingers to imprison the Nascent Soul.
Opportunities to encounter a great cultivator’s Nascent Soul were not many. They were the Heavenly Ghost’s favorite food.
He had no sympathy for enemies who wanted him dead; since Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s Nascent Soul hadn’t left, it awaited complete annihilation.
After doing this, he looked around.
By now, there were no cultivators around; those who had retreated dared not stay nearby after the appearance of a half-step great power.
He looked towards the White Emperor Sect’s great cultivator resource point, where the Formation was open.
He flew into the great cultivator resource point, and the cultivators there had already fled.
The cultivators couldn’t be blamed; a half-step great power could suppress them with his aura alone.
