Chapter 1851: Chapter 972: Facing the Enemy

Li Shiming’s body flickered with light, and he disappeared from his original spot, reappearing ten meters away.

For a Peak Great Cultivator who had mastered the Divine Foot Skill, this distance of Space Movement was nothing.

Yet, considering the restrictive spatial formation arranged with black and white chess pieces around him, this ten-meter Space Movement took on a whole new significance.

By studying the Space Movement of the Duke of Thunder and the Holy Spirit, he deepened his Divine Foot Skill to another level, enabling him to perform Space Movement within the restricted spatial formation.

Within the five Nascent Souls, each had additional Space Rule Runes, replacing the original divine skills runes of the Divine Foot Skill.

This marked his transition from passively using to actively mastering the path of space.

He waved his hand to collect the black and white chess pieces, canceling the formation.

The progress in the path of space was not his only advancement these years.

In fact, after refining the fifth-grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, Li Shiming had improved comprehensively in all aspects.

The ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ became more refined, and its power even increased by fifty percent. His physical constitution also experienced significant enhancement, a result of the ’Chaotic Spiritual Power’ slowly nurturing his body.

Mentally, each of his one hundred and ninety-one brains had their spirit enhanced by fifty percent, making his already formidable spirit even stronger.

With such powerful spirit driving ’Telepathy’, he was confident in sensing the emotions of Peak Great Cultivators of the same level.

As for ordinary Great Cultivators, he could completely sense parts of their thoughts through ’Telepathy’; and when it came to Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, he could directly perceive their innermost thoughts.

This comprehensive enhancement gave Li Shiming an ethereal feeling throughout his entire being.

He seemed to transcend the entire world, indicating he had reached the pinnacle of the Peak Great Cultivator’s extremes, and even the world began to show signs of rejecting him.

Although the world had not yet truly rejected him, as he became stronger, this rejection would inevitably manifest one day, heralding the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Li Shiming was acutely aware of this, and he dared not use the fifth-grade ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ to enhance himself further.

If he continued to enhance himself, he feared he wouldn’t ascend to Half-step Great Power before the rejection of heaven and earth subjected him to a Heavenly Tribulation at the Half-step Great Power Level.

The most crucial step in ascending to Half-step Great Power was simulating the ascension process through the ’Divine Perception Stele’.

Li Shiming had always intended to use the IBMz15 to simulate a virtual ’Divine Perception Stele’, allowing him to gain experience for ascending to Half-step Great Power in advance.

However, despite acquiring much experience about ascending to Half-step Great Power and injecting this data into the IBMz15 database over these years, he had yet to succeed despite investing substantial effort and IBMz15’s computational power.

It was indeed that he underestimated the ’Divine Perception Stele’. The ’Divine Perception Stele’s creator, an ancient supreme entity, was far beyond his level.

Even with the IBMz15, he was like an ant at the mountain’s foot trying to envision the scene viewed by an eagle atop the peak, an experience unattainable through imagination.

Although Li Shiming hadn’t given up on researching the ’Divine Perception Stele’, he had released a portion of IBMz15’s computational resources to conduct other research.

Suddenly, the drone satellite system issued an alert. He connected to the drone satellite system through IBMz15 and located the source of the alert.

It was a massive blurry area moving rapidly from the ocean toward the inland of the Dongqi Continent.

"A Great Power Avatar, whose is it?" Li Shiming, discerning from the blurry area’s size, analyzed that the area’s power level was that of a Great Power Avatar.

The first that came to his mind was Great Power Luo Yuan of the Yuqing Sect; in the past, Great Power Luo Yuan had dispatched a Great Power Avatar to hunt him down.

As for other Great Powers, given the alchemical prowess he displayed over the years, even those superpowers with prior grievances had reconciled with him over time.

Without him needing to take initiative to resolve any conflicts, once he demonstrated his terrifying alchemical abilities, factions he had disagreements with proactively approached him to seek reconciliation through various means.

Thus, apart from Great Power Luo Yuan, he couldn’t think of any other Great Power who would send a Great Power Avatar to the Dongqi Continent.

Furthermore, the direction of the Great Power Avatar was precisely toward the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Li Shiming shook his head; previously, he would have fled immediately, but now he harbors the intent to confront the Great Power Avatar.

After all, Yin Shilan was in seclusion within the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, and his teleportation ring could be activated at any time.

This afforded him a safety guarantee, ensuring he had an escape route even if he couldn’t withstand the Great Power Avatar.

"Master, there’s a Great Power Avatar incoming, guard the sect well!" Li Shiming sent a message to his master, Grandmaster Hu, and without waiting for a response, utilized ’A Step to the Sky’ to head toward the Great Power Avatar’s direction.

Left behind, Grandmaster Hu was astonished and speechless. Although he knew Li Shiming’s prowess was extremely formidable, ranking high among Peak Great Cultivators, the approaching entity was a Great Power Avatar.

A Great Power was a legend unattainable by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, who needed just one Great Power to become a superpower.

Grandmaster Hu quickly issued orders; of course, they were not defensive orders, for no matter how the Ten Thousand Beast Sect defended, they couldn’t withstand the attack of a Great Power Avatar.

The orders he issued were for core cultivators of the sect to relocate, minimizing the impact even if the Great Power Avatar attacked the Ten Thousand Beast Sect’s mountain gate.
