Chapter 1778: Chapter 935: Fierce Battle (Part 2)

Li Yuanba arrived here and discovered the presence of several great cultivators, but instead of launching an attack on them, he swiftly flew in one direction.

Thirty great cultivators were stunned by the sudden appearance of nearly eight thousand sword lights, and they hurriedly launched attacks at the sword lights.

However, upon attacking the sword lights, they realized something was amiss.

"Quick, find Li Yuanba’s true form; this is a deceptive trick!" Great Cultivator Yu Chao solemnly reminded.

Since he controlled the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ he naturally became the commander. Even if the other peak great cultivators had ideas, they couldn’t achieve complete control over the situation like him.

Yet he didn’t know that this statement made Li Yuanba one hundred percent certain of his position.

Earlier, when he spoke the first sentence, IBMz15 could only speculate about his possible location, a general area.

But Li Yuanba was now in the hidden space area of the Beidou Array, allowing him to hear Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s voice more clearly, providing IBMz15 with more data for a more accurate judgment.

Li Yuanba’s speed was too fast; with the ’Speed Rule Imprint’ of the Spirit Treasure ’Xingyi Sword,’ his Sword Escape truly reached an instantaneous level on this battlefield.

Great Cultivator Yu Chao was sitting cross-legged one meter above the ground, with an opened scroll above his head.

His Divine Sense penetrated into the scroll, anxiously searching for Li Yuanba’s position.

Although his research on formations was profound, he had only recently acquired the ’Beidou Formation Map.’

This was an item held by a mighty one, and he was able to use it, thanks to Li Yuanba.

Due to this unfamiliarity and Li Yuanba’s technique of launching tens of thousands of swords, he couldn’t instantly locate Li Yuanba’s true form.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s body stiffened as he finally found Li Yuanba’s true form.

At the same time, he sensed a terrifying sword intent coming from behind, and he never expected Li Yuanba would penetrate the core area of the formation.

He wanted to take action and retrieve the life-saving item granted by a mighty one.

Unfortunately, he was still one step slower, mainly because Li Yuanba’s Xingyi Sword was too fast.

When Li Yuanba saw Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s figure, he exited the Sword Escape state, and the Xingyi Sword struck out.

The sadder part was that due to Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s confidence in the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ he hadn’t activated any defensive treasures on himself, only a defensive spell shield.

But in front of the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword and ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ a peak great cultivator’s defensive spell shield was only slightly better than having no defense.

The defensive spell shield couldn’t even slow down the Xingyi Sword as it penetrated into Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s body.

’Chaos Sword Intent’ simultaneously attacked his physical body and Nascent Soul. When Li Yuanba first entered the Great Cultivator Realm, he could annihilate the physical body and Nascent Soul of a peak great cultivator.

Now, the ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ within a breath’s time of entering Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s body, extinguished all life.

Li Yuanba’s figure flickered beside Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s corpse, and he looked at the still-floating ’Beidou Formation Map.’

"A fifth-grade treasure, they truly have high regard for me!" His divine sense swept over the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ grinning as he spoke to himself.

Without any hesitation, he inserted the Master Recognition Technique into the ’Beidou Formation Map.’

Contrary to his expectations, the ’Beidou Formation Map’ didn’t have a mighty one’s recognition imprint; otherwise, he would have troubled Sword Elder.

’Beidou Formation Map’ is different from other treasures; it requires full recognition to be used freely.

After recognition, he immediately established a connection with the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ and through it, he sensed the situation of the other great cultivators.

He couldn’t help but take a cold breath; he hadn’t anticipated so many great cultivators coming to block him.

He recognized some of the great cultivators and learned which super forces were participating in the encirclement this time.

Among the five super forces of Central State Continent, apart from Central State Commerce and Luanyang Palace, the other super forces participated in this encirclement.

Central State Commerce dares not offend the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion; if they provoke it, sending a batch of sword cultivators could sever Central State Commerce’s trade route.

As for Luanyang Palace, it rarely involves itself in matters of the cultivation world unless its interests are provoked.

Li Yuanba coldly smiled, realizing that these great cultivators were all within the Beidou Array arranged by the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ and even if they wanted to escape, they couldn’t.

The cage they created for Li Yuanba also became their own prison.

"Yu Chao has fallen, ’Beidou Formation Map’ has changed hands, quickly break the formation, or we’re finished!" A great cultivator from Beidou Sect shouted a piercing warning upon discovering Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s demise.

No cultivator understands the terror of the ’Beidou Formation Map’ better than a Beidou Sect cultivator; in the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ leaving is almost impossible.

Even though the other great cultivators from Beidou Sect have profound studies of formations, in the face of the Beidou Array arranged by the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ their contributions are extremely limited.

They couldn’t be blamed, as even Li Yuanba only discovered the strength of ’Beidou Formation Map’ after mastering it.

It could be said that the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ in Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s hands, couldn’t exhibit even thirty percent of its full power.

The use of the ’Beidou Formation Map’s’ power is based on the cultivator’s own mastery of formations.

The ’Beidou Formation Map’ contains almost infinite formation variations, and the cultivator controlling it needs to utilize these variations to maximize its power.

Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s formation level was decent, but due to having the ’Beidou Formation Map’ for too short a time, he could only exhibit thirty percent of its power.

"Amitabha!" Great Venerable Ming Hai was the first to react, inwardly cursing Great Cultivator Yu Chao’s incompetence, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out a small, lightning-flashed bell-shaped treasure.

This was Da Leiyin Temple’s treasure ’Thunder Sound Bell,’ crafted by the temple’s bodhisattvas based on its ’Thunder Sound Divine Ability.’

The power of ’Thunder Sound Bell’ can shake the enemy’s soul, and with this soul-piercing fifth-grade treasure, its potency needs no further explanation.

As the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ ascended, it emitted continuous thunder sounds.

Initially, the thunder sound seemed small, but it quickly formed a continuous rumble in the ears, growing louder and louder.

The thunder sound emitted by the ’Thunder Sound Bell’ is a Supreme Yang soundwave, which can attack the soul of only specified enemies according to the owner’s will.

Even if Great Venerable Ming Hai wasn’t clear about Li Yuanba’s exact position, as long as he knew Li Yuanba was in this area, his manipulated ’Thunder Sound Bell’ could automatically lock onto Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba could only feel the thunder sound coming, then the thunder sound in his ears continuously grew, and he even felt his soul shaking, with a sense of extreme dizziness.

He understood that if he truly got dizzy at this time, it would be over; despite controlling the ’Beidou Formation Map,’ there were too many enemies, and he hadn’t yet launched attacks. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

With so many enemies trying to break the formation, it was hard for him to hold them off. If they broke the formation, he would be exposed to his enemies.

Far away on the Dongqi Continent, Li Shiming slightly furrowed his brow, and he released a brain to remotely control Li Yuanba’s body.

Regarding Li Yuanba’s soul, he had already retrieved the Xingyi Sword into his body to block the attack from the ’Thunder Sound Bell.’

The thunder sound attack from ’Thunder Sound Bell’ transmitted into Li Shiming’s brain, also shaking his soul. However, with one hundred and ninety-one brains, the thunder sound attack’s power was divided into one hundred and ninety-one portions, allowing each brain to easily resist.
