Chapter 1891: Chapter 992: Covetous Ambitions
Heavenly Thunders fell within a few breaths, and it was this brief gap in time that saved the 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ from being annihilated.
Honestly, even though the âEarth Evil Formationâ set up by the 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ had the effect of enhancing defense, with a defensive power reaching Great Ability Level,
the increase of heavenly thunder to 108 strikes at the Half-step Great Power Peak Level was enough to induce a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.
Li Shiming stood aside, sensing the âEternal Water Bearsâ being struck, wounds appearing on their bodies, and yet, the damage was instantly transferred to other âEternal Water Bearsâ.
Truly, the number of heavenly thunders was overwhelming, attacking almost incessantly.
Fortunately, the breakthrough to fourth-grade âEternal Water Bearsâ significantly enhanced their defensive and recovery abilities, particularly having consumed large quantities of âEternal Water Bear Pillsâ, accumulating a massive amount of energy within.
Thus, even when the âEternal Water Bearsâ were harmed, they could instantly heal.
The rain of thunders continuously inflicted wounds on the âEternal Water Bearsâ, which were swiftly healed, a cycle of injury and recovery.
Li Shiming watched in alarm, but after the first round of 108 heavenly thunders ended and the 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ remained alive, he was relieved.
The power of the heavenly thunders couldnât increase further; a Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Tribulation couldnât elevate the power of thunders to the Great Ability Level.
Heavenly Dao speaks of the Grand Pathâs 49 transformations with one remaining, never presenting an insurmountable Heavenly Tribulation.
During the waiting time between the first and second rounds of heavenly thunders, all 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ returned to optimal condition.
Their vitality, through the massive energy conversion within, could recover from any non-fatal injury quickly.
Next came the second round of heavenly thunders, again 108 Heavenly Thunders at the Half-step Great Power Peak Level.
With round after round of heavenly thunders falling, though the area was blocked by Ten Thousand Beast Sect, the formidable aura couldnât be completely concealed.
Itâs expected that this Heavenly Tribulation happening here will soon catch the attention of some superpowers in the Cultivation World.
Though the Dongqi Continent is barren, the presence of someone like Li Shiming, a top-tier Alchemy Master, has led many superpowers to establish intelligence networks here.
After nine rounds of heavenly thunders, the 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ maintained the Earth Evil Formation.
It wasnât long before the energy reward from the heavens was generated within them, enhancing them continuously from flesh to soul.
Li Shiming felt the pressure from the contract; it was indeed 108 spiritual insects that truly reached Half-step Fifth Grade. Were it not for his 191 brains and his soulâs advancement to the Half-step Great Power Level, he might not have been able to command the 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ now.
After the âEternal Water Bearsâ completed receiving the heavenly rewards, Li Shiming issued commands to them.
All the âEternal Water Bearsâ flew onto his body, forming armor.
He felt secure; this armor could withstand attacks from Great Powers.
For any Great Power, unless they could kill all 108 âEternal Water Bearsâ in one simultaneous strike, with the vitality and restoration ability of the âEternal Water Bearsâ, breaking through the armor formed by them would be impossible.
And, itâs not so easy to kill the âEternal Water Bearsâ.
Li Shiming shook his head, with a slight thought, he gathered the âEternal Water Bearsâ into his Grotto Heaven.
Unfortunately, this Grotto Heaven wasnât his own, and only during the growth phase of the Grotto Heaven can it increase energy output by having Half-step Great Power Level beings reside long-term within.
His gaze fell upon the valley, now having undergone this Heavenly Tribulation, the thunder energy was almost tangible, containing some special power of heavenly thunder.
The sect was already developing this valley, preparing to cultivate some Thunder Cultivators.
Coincidentally, he also added some Yuqing Sectâs heritage to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, making this a thriving hub for Thunder Cultivators.
This counted as a benefit he left for the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, but the effects wouldnât be noticeable without decades, or even centuries.
Recently, the superpowers of the Cultivation World were first stunned by Li Yuanbaâs intervention.
Li Yuanba, being in the Grotto Heaven, launched a super-long-range flying sword attack, causing massive damage to the Da Leiyin Templeâs sect.
The surprise hadnât settled when another piece of intelligence arrived, saying that Li Shizhen of Dongqi Continent, after enduring three Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations, caused another shocking Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulation on Dongqi Continent.
Itâs said that half the sky was filled with Half-step Great Power Level Heavenly Thunders, as if over a hundred Half-step Great Powers were crossing tribulations at once.
If Li Shimingâs previous survival through three successive Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations was considered his fortune, then these hundreds of Half-step Great Power Heavenly Tribulations couldnât be easily explained.
The attention of the superpowers turned to the Dongqi Continent because they couldnât do anything against Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba was in seclusion within the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.
Even if the superpowers had intentions regarding Li Yuanba, they couldnât reach into the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs sect gate.
But Li Shiming was different; as a cultivator without a background, his sole assurance was his expertise in Alchemy.
