Chapter 502: Chapter 297: Husk_2

Using his Fake Infant Body, he arrived at Li Shiming’s cave dwelling, knocked out Elder Zhao, and Li Shiming’s dwelling was destroyed. Anyone who saw the situation could easily deduce what had happened.

Additionally, considering that Cultivator Fang Lu from the Skywalk Trading Company had previously attacked Li Shiming unsuccessfully and was instead killed, Supervisor Feng Yi’s actions could be explained.

Supervisor Feng Yi’s decision not to act immediately actually provided a moment of relief to Master Tong Yun, who signaled to the Golden Core cultivators of the sect with his eyes.

All Golden Core cultivators from Fire Cloud Valley shifted their positions, and, in a moment, they merged with the Sect Formation. Perhaps they couldn’t defeat Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant, but with the help of the formation, they now had a strong ability to protect themselves and a certain capability to counterattack.

At the moment the explosion occurred, Li Shiming had already put away the one hundred and eight Third Grade Array Flags.

He activated the “Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique” and disappeared into the darkness.

Under normal circumstances, if he used the “Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique” to hide himself, he wouldn’t be able to escape the observation of Supervisor Feng Yi.

However, the problem was the disruption caused by the explosion, coupled with the chaotic energy stirred up by the simultaneous appearance of over forty Golden Core cultivators, which prevented Supervisor Feng Yi from detecting the faint spiritual power fluctuations in the distance.

Once invisible, Li Shiming immediately used the “Step by Step Lotus” and moved towards the outside of Fire Cloud Valley while still hidden.

Normally, leaving the valley was much easier than entering it, and with his understanding of formations, by the time he reached the defensive shield of the formation, he could see the spiritual power pathways.

With the data from the IBMz15, the formation at the entrance of Fire Cloud Valley had already been thoroughly researched and analyzed by the IBMz15. This was intentional, and even before this, he had gone through the formation multiple times in order to release drones.

His Divine Thought flicked through the spiritual power pathways, creating a crack in the formation.

Although the crack was too small for a cultivator to pass through, “Step by Step Lotus” was a divine skill that could traverse it as long as there was a spatial connection.

He appeared outside of Fire Cloud Valley, his feet appearing and simultaneously vanishing upon a white lotus.

His target was thirty miles away; after determining that the Fake Infant belonged to Supervisor Feng Yi, he immediately made his decision.

With his near Gold Core strength, not to mention fighting against Supervisor Feng Yi, even a mere wisp of aura leaked from Supervisor Feng Yi could suppress him to the point of immobility, and a flick of a finger could crush him to death.

He had witnessed the might of the False Infant; it was an invincible power that he couldn’t forget since the day the Sky Sea Sect had been breached.

Previously, he had hidden himself with the one hundred and eight Third Grade Array Flags to prevent being trapped in his own cave dwelling.

But when Supervisor Feng Yi actually arrived, he knew that hiding within the array formed by the one hundred and eight flags wouldn’t be enough to protect himself.

The array formed by Third Grade Array Flags could at best withstand an attack from a Golden Core cultivator, and he estimated it couldn’t even withstand a single strike from a False Infant.

He couldn’t guarantee that the False Infant wouldn’t detect the array formed by the Third Grade Array Flags, and if discovered, he would surely die.

Therefore, he chose the only chance for survival, which was the last location where Supervisor Feng Yi had appeared.

If Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant had appeared in Fire Cloud Valley, then it was highly likely that Supervisor Feng Yi’s body was left thirty miles away at that spot.

Supervisor Feng Yi probably never expected that his whereabouts would be discovered by Li Shiming.

This was something no one would have expected, that a False Infant cultivator could be monitored by Li Shiming at the Half-step Golden Core Realm—their cultivation levels were as different as heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, even if Li Shiming just glanced at Supervisor Feng Yi from afar, he would be detected by Supervisor Feng Yi.

But the cameras in the sky were different. Even if Supervisor Feng Yi sensed something, he wouldn’t think he was being watched, primarily because the surveillance was through drone-mounted cameras. The perception of being watched by Supervisor Feng Yi was extremely weak, resembling more the birds in the sky rather than the actions of a cultivator.

Most importantly, Supervisor Feng Yi simply didn’t believe he could be under surveillance by another cultivator. With his speed, having rushed over thousands of miles without informing anyone, how could he possibly be monitored?

Li Shiming’s figure appeared thirty miles away at the target location, his divine thought detecting the presence of the formation.

In the span of three breaths, he found a way to break the formation.

It wasn’t that his formation skills were exceptional enough to easily crack a fourth-grade array, but rather that the formation had been set up using a fourth-grade Array Plate.

No matter how formidable the formation was, with the formidable computing power of the IBM z15, the spirit-less formation laid out by the fourth-grade Array Plate could easily be computed by him, the spiritual power patterns calculated within three breaths to find a solution.

Li Shiming took another two breaths to appear inside the formation.

He saw Supervisor Feng Yi seated cross-legged with closed eyes. Upon glimpsing Feng Yi, his body wobbled twice, nearly collapsing to the ground.

This was due to the oppressive aura emanating from Supervisor Feng Yi’s body. Because of the formation’s protection, along with the False Infant’s exit from the body, Feng Yi’s usual concealed aura could no longer be hidden, spreading out the terrifying presence of the False Infant unreservedly.

Li Shiming was at the Foundation Establishment stage, facing the False Infant Supervisor Feng Yi. Even with no False Infant within Feng Yi’s body, the mere physique almost overpowered Li Shiming.

Li Shiming’s formidable physical resilience, coupled with his powerful spirit, managed to withstand the aura emanating from Supervisor Feng Yi’s body.

His face showing distress, just the aura alone was hard for him to bear, he had underestimated the body of Supervisor Feng Yi without his False Infant.

He immediately took out his strongest offensive measure. The “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun,” capable of killing Golden Core cultivators, was drawn, and he aimed the muzzle at Supervisor Feng Yi’s body.

The bomb transformed from the Third Grade Sword Base, propelled by the electromagnetic force within the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun,” accelerated and shot out.

The Third Grade Sword Base Bomb struck Supervisor Feng Yi at the center of his forehead. Worrying that Supervisor Feng Yi’s body might have some defensive magic artifact, Li Shiming had aimed at the unprotected forehead.

Upon collision with Supervisor Feng Yi’s forehead, the Third Grade Sword Base Bomb disintegrated into countless fragments.

These fragments transformed into energy in the air, flying back into Li Shiming’s body.

Li Shiming stared dumbfounded at Supervisor Feng Yi’s forehead. His pride, the “Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun,” enhanced by the Half-step Golden Core enhancement of the Third Grade Sword Base, only left a white mark on Supervisor Feng Yi’s forehead.

Yes, even Li Shiming’s utmost attack failed to break Supervisor Feng Yi’s skin.

A sense of futility rose from within him, and this was only a False Infant, far inferior to a real Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Supervisor Feng Yi’s False Infant had even departed, leaving behind only an empty shell, which Li Shiming found utterly unassailable.

He knew all too well that he only had one chance to strike. If the shell of Supervisor Feng Yi couldn’t be dealt with in one hit, the False Infant would sense its shell being disturbed and immediately rush back.

“The last resort!” Li Shiming gritted his teeth, resisting the influence of Supervisor Feng Yi’s aura on his divine thought, and wrapped up Supervisor Feng Yi’s body.

Supervisor Feng Yi’s body vanished, appearing inside the server room space.

This was a risky move, but it was the last method he could think of to sever the connection between Supervisor Feng Yi and the False Infant.

If he couldn’t kill Supervisor Feng Yi’s body, he would have to rely on the spatial separation of the server room to prevent the False Infant from returning to its shell.

Li Shiming’s divine thought swept over the fourth-grade Array Plate, making it disappear. He maintained the “Charming Soul Concealing Secret Technique” for invisibility and used the “Step by Step Lotus” to escape into the distance.

In Fire Cloud Valley, the indecisive False Infant Supervisor Feng Yi, who was deliberating whether to fight or explain, suddenly sensed something amiss with his shell.

Though the False Infant had many concerns before, there were no difficulties when it decided to leave; Golden Core cultivators couldn’t even discern its trajectory and lost sight of the False Infant’s figure in an instant.

The movement of the False Infant was swift, only delayed for a moment at the defensive shield of the grand formation because it needed to reactivate the Array Breaking Talisman and pass through the small hole left by it.
