Chapter 1906: Chapter 999: The Pursuit and Escape (Part 2)
No, it should not be called a Free Great Power, it should be called a Freedom Bodhisattva.
As for the Great Power Avatar, he still had the courage to face it, but he had no confidence in facing the true body of a Great Power.
So, upon discovering that it was a Freedom Bodhisattva, he immediately changed direction and fled in another direction.
Huiyue Bodhisattva also discovered Li Shiming, sensing the aura of over a hundred Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Insects on him, which made him understand how Huinan Bodhisattvaâs avatar had perished.
He thought that Huinan Bodhisattvaâs avatar had been besieged and killed by over a hundred Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Insects.
Upon realizing Li Shimingâs true strength, or at least what he thought was his true strength, he felt somewhat reassured yet disappointed.
If the other party truly had a special method of cultivating Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Insects, it would be good news for Da Leiyin Temple, but for him as a Freedom Bodhisattva, it was not considered an opportunity.
Even if he gained over a hundred Half-step Fifth Grade Spirit Insects, it wouldnât significantly impact his own strength.
When Huiyue Bodhisattva saw Li Shiming turning to flee, he immediately pursued him.
At the same time, he was releasing the aura belonging to a Great Power, attempting to suppress Li Shiming, preventing him from controlling his Spiritual Power Pattern and spirit.
But unfortunately, if it were any other Peak Great Cultivator or even Half-step Great Power, they would somewhat be suppressed by Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs realm.
But Li Shiming had a unique means, with one hundred ninety-one brains dispersing the realm suppression from Huiyue Bodhisattva, rendering him almost unaffected.
Li Shimingâs soul was at Half-step Great Power Level, with one hundred ninety-one Half-step Great Power Level souls combined, even if Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs realm suppression were strong, he couldnât suppress one hundred ninety-one Half-step Great Power souls simultaneously.
Li Shiming turned and fled, intending to lead Huiyue Bodhisattva to the ocean, unwilling to let Huiyue Bodhisattva wreak havoc on Dongqi Continent.
He also guessed Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs origin, as only Da Leiyin Temple would send a Freedom Bodhisattva to deal with him.
Since his soul, body, Spiritual Power Pattern, and spatial rules had reached the Half-step Great Power Level, he could execute Space Movement continuously at an extremely fast speed without using multiple brains.
Each of his space movements spanned ten thousand miles, with almost no release interval.
Huiyue Bodhisattva, pursuing from behind, was well-versed in Space Movement, but never expected Li Shimingâs mastery of spatial rules to be no weaker than his.
The distance between them remained unchanged since the pursuit began.
It didnât take long for both to reach above the ocean.
"Which Bodhisattva from Da Leiyin Temple is it?" Li Shiming, having spare energy, used a secret sound transmission method to ask.
Though far apart, the secret sound transmission method allowed them to communicate.
"Huiyue Bodhisattva of Da Leiyin Temple, I havenât returned in many years, didnât expect there to be a genius like you in the Cultivation World. Surrender and I promise you can join Da Leiyin Temple!" Huiyue Bodhisattva replied using the secret sound transmission method.
"Your tone is the same as Huinan Bodhisattvaâs avatar, which I ended up slaying!" Li Shiming responded with a laugh.
At this moment, seemingly to provoke, a âDaoist Golden Lotusâ appeared under Li Shimingâs feet, slightly increasing his Space Movement speed.
Upon seeing the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ, Huiyue Bodhisattva recognized it as the Inheritance Buddha Lotus.
No matter how the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ transformed, it was his sectâs supreme treasure, impossible to deceive his eyes.
Seeing the Inheritance Buddha Lotus transform into the âDaoist Golden Lotusâ, he couldnât help feeling an urge to vomit blood.
There had always been disagreements between Buddhism and Taoism, sometimes even opposing views. Li Shiming altering the Buddhist supreme treasure into a Taoist artifact infuriated Huiyue Bodhisattva.
He unconsciously enhanced his energy, increasing his speed to catch up with Li Shimingâs pace.
He was amazed at Li Shimingâs speed but was confident he could catch up to him.
Because Li Shiming had been locked onto by his aura, no matter how he escaped, as long as he couldnât thoroughly shake off Huiyue Bodhisattva, heâd be continually pursued.
With Li Shimingâs realm, the energy within him was incomparable to Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs.
Huiyue Bodhisattva possessed a complete Grotto Heaven, the energy within it being his backing.
As for Li Shiming, how much energy could his Nascent Soul hold within him?
In this kind of consumption, when speed couldnât determine victory, the amount of energy becomes the key to victory.
"You canât escape, do you think you can compare to my avatar?" Huiyue Bodhisattva said in a deep voice.
He continually enhanced his aura, trying to suppress Li Shiming, but no matter how much he increased it, it couldnât affect Li Shiming.
At this time, he confirmed that Li Shiming was not affected by realm suppression, a situation heâd seen before, likely using some kind of soul-related supreme treasure.
In fact, Li Shiming did possess a soul-related defensive supreme treasure, namely the âSoul Beadâ, but he wasnât aware of its effect against realm suppression and had given it to his phantom avatar.
In some respect, Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs guess was correct, just not pinpointed accurately.
"Huiyue Bodhisattva, why donât you speed up and catch me!" Li Shiming taunted while performing Space Movement.
Both of them performed Space Movement continuously over the ocean, their bizarre movements causing them to flicker in and out of sight.
Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs idea wasnât wrong; such high-level Space Movement consumed a great deal.
Short periods were fine, but over time, even with five Nascent Souls, Li Shimingâs energy couldnât withstand the drain.
Huiyue Bodhisattva was also calculating Li Shimingâs consumption but found that even after consuming the maximum energy a Nascent Soul could hold, Li Shiming showed no signs of excessive energy depletion and continued performing Space Movement.
After some time, Huiyue Bodhisattva stopped calculating Li Shimingâs consumption, finding it meaningless.
"No more playing with you!" Li Shiming transmitted as he felt the energy within him consuming the fourth Nascent Soul.
Just as Huiyue Bodhisattva wondered what Li Shiming intended to do, Li Shiming summoned the Golden Winged Dapeng.
Once the Golden Winged Dapeng appeared, Li Shiming mounted its back, and knowing the urgency, it began flying with full Space Movement.
Whether Li Shiming or the more advanced and powerful Huiyue Bodhisattva, perhaps they surpassed the Golden Winged Dapeng in other aspects, but in terms of spatial rules, the Golden Winged Dapeng was far superior to them both.
For Li Shiming and Huiyue Bodhisattva, Space Movement was a moving secret technique, but for the Golden Winged Dapeng, Space Movement was one of its innate flying abilities.
The Golden Winged Dapeng was born with the ability to perform Space Movement.
After being trapped in the Divine Palace, its Spatial Movement ability greatly improved through mutation, so much so that even the formation of the Divine Palace couldnât stop its Space Movement.
After advancing to Half-step Fifth Grade, the Golden Winged Dapengâs Spatial Movement ability received yet another significant boost.
Under Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs awestruck gaze, the Golden Winged Dapengâs figure flickered through the void at an unimaginable speed, becoming more and more distant until disappearing from Huiyue Bodhisattvaâs perception.
Huiyue Bodhisattva halted, feeling envious of Li Shimingâs spiritual pet, the Golden Winged Dapeng.
If he had such a spiritual pet, his life would be greatly safeguarded during adventures.
Standing in the void, he considered momentarily and decided not to pursue Li Shiming anymore, instead, returning toward Da Leiyin Temple.
He did not attack the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, as being a Great Power, pursuing a Peak Great Cultivator had already cost him face, and if he truly attacked a major sect like the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, he would be recorded in the disgrace book by other superpower Great Powers.
