However, the problem was that such consumption was simply too great, even for Li Shiming, who was wealthy, to sustain.
The volu of the cannonball’s warhead was not small; a single attack would consu so much third-grade material.
This direction was not viable; his research aid to use the lowest grade materials to unleash attack power beyond the grade of the materials.
His Divine Thought connected to the self-propelled cannon, with his Lifebound Treasure IBMz15 inputting the combat paraters into the self-propelled cannon.
Perhaps it was because of that four-clawed dragon, there were very few Great Demons in the area, and there were no Great Demons in the area he had chosen, so the self-propelled cannon did not have to worry about being discovered and destroyed by other Great Demons.
After setting everything up, he set the firing ti for the self-propelled cannon and then commanded the Illusion Spirit Jiao to approach the direction of the four-clawed dragon once again.
This ti, when it got within three hundred ters of the four-clawed dragon, the Illusion Spirit Jiao stopped advancing by itself; its instinct told it that this position would not be detected by the four-clawed dragon, and any closer would lead to discovery.
After a mont, a loud explosion ca from a distance, and a cannonball made of second-grade materials flew towards the four-clawed dragon from the sky.
The four-clawed dragon had probably never expected to encounter such an attack here, or perhaps the sense of combat it was given by the master of this land did not include a way to deal with such an attack.
When the second-grade cannonball hit the four-clawed dragon accurately, the dragon finally reacted.
The four-clawed dragon let out a dragon’s roar; its eyes turned crimson, and it flew towards the direction from which the cannonball had co.
Li Shiming, through the eyes of the Illusion Spirit Jiao, observed the flight of the four-clawed dragon while his Lifebound Treasure IBMz15 calculated the dragon’s flying speed.
"Move quickly!" Li Shiming instructed the Illusion Spirit Jiao, as he estimated that the four-clawed dragon was about to reach the self-propelled cannon.
The Illusion Spirit Jiao had been impatiently waiting; its speed reached the extre, and it flashed next to the blood-red stone.
A Divine Thought from Li Shiming enveloped the blood-red stone, and when his Divine Thought touched the stone, he felt an imnse heat, as if his Divine Thought were about to be ignited.
Luckily, the reward from the previous level greatly enhanced his spirit.
Moreover, since covering the blood-red stone with his Divine Thought was only a montary affair, and the impact on the Divine Thought was distributed among a hundred and ninety-one brains, he prevented any damage to his own spirit, and he managed to store the blood-red stone in the Mustard Seed Ring.
He had finally understood why the blood-red stone was so attractive to the Illusion Spirit Jiao; in addition to the intense heat, his Divine Thought also sensed an awful aura of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline.
"Let’s get out of here!" he commanded imdiately after securing the stone.
In fact, there was no need for him to say more; the Illusion Spirit Jiao inherently understood the danger and imdiately fled into the distance.
The four-clawed dragon was acting on instinct; it found the self-propelled cannon and sprayed it with flas, reducing it to molten iron.
It suddenly turned its head to look back in the direction it had co from; its senses told it that the treasure linked by blood to it had been moved and then the connection was lost.
It sensed the blood-red stone being taken away by Li Shiming into the Mustard Seed Ring, and as for the connection being lost, that was because Li Shiming had stored the Mustard Seed Ring inside the machine room space.
Anything that entered the machine room space beca unrelated to this space, let alone to this Grotto Heaven and the outside world.
The four-clawed dragon let out an infuriated dragon roar, frantically flying back, but by the ti it returned to its lair, it was already too late.
Li Shiming heard the dragon’s roar and a look of triumph appeared on his face.
A fourth-grade four-clawed dragon was indeed extrely powerful, but the Illusion Spirit Jiao, an ancient spirit beast, was equally extraordinary. As long as it remained outside the dragon’s sensory range, there was no worry about being tracked by it.
He was even thinking that once the Illusion Spirit Jiao advanced to the fourth grade, likely, no life form on the Beishu Continent would be able to detect its invisibility.
He soothed the Illusion Spirit Jiao; with the object in hand, he would reward the Jiao after they got out, which made it stop demanding the blood-red stone from him.
In the Hunger Ghost Path space, ten Nascent Soul Ancestors were still battling fiercely.
They were greatly troubled by the Silver Corpses’ entanglent; the pale golden Silver Corpse would occasionally burrow up from the ground. Instead of attacking directly, it would emit a piercing shriek, summoning the nearby Silver Corpses to launch an assault on them.
"We cannot go on like this. We must find a way to kill that Silver Corpse!" Ancestor Lu launched an attack and spoke in a solemn voice.
They didn’t know how many Silver Corpses they had killed since the appearance of the pale golden Silver Corpse. Every ti they advanced several hundred ters, it would erge to marshal the Silver Corpses’ attack.
Although they would rest for a while in the cleared area after each battle,
the Spiritual Objects needed for recovery by the Nascent Soul Ancestors were in short supply on their person, and if they continued to deplete them in this manner, they feared they wouldn’t even make it out of there before running out.
"Jian, I will provide you with spiritual power, so you can try to kill that Silver Corpse!" Elder Jin Kai looked to Elder Sword and said.
The pale golden Silver Corpse was extrely clever; its ergence point was unpredictable, and its movents were incredibly swift. It would retract back into the ground within the span of a single breath every ti.
Elder Jin Kai had attempted twice, but the spatial restraints here were severe, preventing him from successfully slaying the pale golden Silver Corpse.
In his eyes, the only one who might stand a chance to kill the pale golden Silver Corpse was Elder Sword.
Even Ancestor Ren Xun lacked such ans. Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators would beco formidable once they matured.
Although Elder Sword’s gaze was indeed at the Nascent Soul Stage, his foundation was too shallow to unleash the full combat power of a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator.
"I will give it a try!" Elder Sword nodded in agreent.
His eyes were filled with eagerness. The "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" held formidable thods; unfortunately, his spiritual power wasn’t sufficient to activate them.
Upon receiving Elder Sword’s consent, Elder Jin Kai waved his hand, sending a stream of light onto Elder Sword.
This was the sa thod used to share spiritual power with the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet, except now it was shared with Elder Sword.
Elder Sword felt a continuous flow of unending spiritual power through the line of energy.
Being only at the initial entry stage of the Nascent Soul Early Stage, the spiritual power from Elder Jin Kai, who was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, was like the ocean flowing into a small river for him.
"Sword Light Scatter, Sword Net!" Feeling the seemingly boundless supply of spiritual power, Elder Sword excitedly shouted.
His Lifebound Flying Sword split into two, and two into four, rapidly forming a web of sword light in the sky that then descended and weaved through the ground, creating an illusory net made of sword light.
The sword light grew faster, quickly connecting into straight lines.
Elder Jin Kai, witnessing Elder Sword lavish such spiritual power, was unconcerned, knowing Elder Sword’s realm limited his consumption of spiritual power.
He was, however, very interested in Elder Sword’s thods; sadly, their cultivation paths were entirely different, and he could only observe the swordsmanship as learning it would require him to start anew with sword cultivation.
As they moved forward again, Silver Corpses still burrowed up from the ground to attack the Fourth Grade Xuanjia Puppet, but the Sword Net had no reaction, as though it were rely ornantal.
Finally, after about three hundred ters, the pale golden Silver Corpse appeared again.
It burrowed out from the ground, about to let out its sharp shriek, when the previously decorative Sword Net suddenly materialized and rapidly contracted.
The pale golden Silver Corpse’s shriek turned into a scream of agony.
The Sword Net was exceedingly sharp, and with Elder Sword’s Sword Intent infused within, the pale golden Silver Corpse attempted to escape underground but was sliced by the constricting Sword Net.
Its body instantly turned into countless small pieces, a testant to the Sword Net’s sharpness.
Of course, for this group of Nascent Soul Ancestors, killing the pale golden Silver Corpse was actually a simple task; it was their inability to capture the body of the pale golden Silver Corpse that had allowed it to cause them so much trouble.
Having found a way to counter the pale golden Silver Corpse, the remaining journey beca much less difficult.
