Chapter 208: Chapter 150 Counterattack (Added for book friend 171021102948988)_2
Subsequently, patterns were drawn on Li Shiming’s body, but he resisted the impulse to act and told himself to wait a little longer.
“Carry the soul and embrace unity, can there be no separation? Concentrate energy to soften, can one be like an infant? Cleanse the obscure mirror, can there be no flaw?”… Yun Xingyi, seated cross-legged in front of Li Shiming, began to chant Taoist scriptures.
Even as a Golden Core cultivator, when facing a possession with a great chance of failure, he still needed to adjust his spirit in order to achieve perfection.
At that moment, Li Shiming recited the entirety of the ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill’ in his mind, trying to recall the feeling when he had comprehended its true essence that day.
He knew he had only one chance—if he failed, he would die.
Even though the success rate given by IBMz15 was increasing with Yun Xingyi’s actions, he still wanted to secure more guarantees.
This was a Golden Core cultivator, after all—it was only right to take it seriously.
And in this cave, he couldn’t even use his most reliable bomb. Of course, he would only use it when all other efforts had failed and he was about to perish alongside Yun Xingyi.
In the cave, Yun Xingyi’s expression became more and more indifferent. His spirit, affected by physical damage, had fully recovered, and he was now in his calmest state.
Li Shiming could not move, but his state also changed.
Li Shiming didn’t know what Yun Xingyi would do next, but both his senses and IBMz15’s analysis of the situation let him know that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
For this moment, he had endured a long time and prepared extensively.
In an instant, he did several things.
The Guiyi Sword and Yun Xingyi’s Golden Core, which were in contact with his body, were absorbed into his spatial chamber.
Since Yun Xingyi had placed both the Guiyi Sword and the Golden Core on his body, as long as an object was in contact with his body, he could transfer it into his spatial chamber through his consciousness.
The existence of the spatial chamber was extremely special. Even such a Lifebound Magic Artifact, as well as a Golden Core cultivator’s Golden Core, without the owner’s control, were taken into the spatial chamber effortlessly.
Without the Golden Core and the Guiyi Sword, Yun Xingyi only felt a tearing sensation in his spirit.
The spiritual connection he had with the Guiyi Sword, and the essence spirit within the Golden Core, were forcefully interrupted.
This was not supposed to happen, because the spiritual imprint within a Lifebound Magic Artifact and a Golden Core cannot be eradicated in an instant.
But the spatial chamber belonged to another world, separate from the external space, and even strong spiritual imprints could not cross the spatial barriers to make contact.
Li Shiming had guessed this before. When Baili Jin Yan’s body was taken into the spatial chamber, it successfully isolated that drop of Golden Core Essence Blood from its owner, preventing the Golden Core cultivator from sensing its existence.
Now, the same logic applied. The disappearance of the Guiyi Sword and the Golden Core delivered a severe blow to Yun Xingyi, who was in the process of preparing to leave his body.
You must understand that a Golden Core cultivator’s majority of spiritual power and spirit are concentrated inside the Golden Core, which is the source of power for a Golden Core cultivator.
A Sword Cultivator’s Lifebound Flying Sword is even more so the core and foundation of their power. With both the source and the foundation gone, Yun Xingyi’s severely injured body, already on the brink of death, could no longer contain his injuries.
However, even without the Golden Core and the Guiyi Sword, Yun Xingyi still managed to deliver a fatal strike to Li Shiming before his death. An injured Golden Core was still incomparable to a Qi Refining cultivator.
Free from the suppression of the Golden Core, Li Shiming’s body emitted light, and an image of an Angry-eyed Vajra appeared on him.
True essence took shape. He had been harboring anger for a long time—Junior Master Zhuge had been killed, he had been controlled and prepared for possession—all the anger erupted at this moment.
He opened his mouth wide, IBMz15 coordinated, and the ‘Devil Sound Lotus’ emitted a roar. It was Li Shiming’s own roar, and the roar of the Angry-eyed Vajra taking form, amplified by the Buddhist sound of the ‘Devil Sound Lotus’.
Even Yun Xingyi, this Golden Core Sword Cultivator, was intimidated by this roar of the Angry-eyed Vajra taking form for a moment.
Li Shiming knew very well that his original body couldn’t withstand even a single strike from Yun Xingyi, for the consequences would inevitably be death.
Every action he made had been calculated by the IBM z15, producing the most rational and appropriate measures.
Yun Xingyi could hardly imagine that after capturing Li Shiming, a massive server from another world had employed all its resources—190 CPUs and 40T of memory—to analyze this Golden Core Sword Cultivator.
A part of Li Shiming’s consciousness had long entered the server room space, where his avatar remained in a state of combat.
This avatar was summoned directly from the server room space and appeared in front of Yun Xingyi.
Connected to the avatar was a Third Grade Sword Base, which it held in both hands, thrusting the hilt toward Yun Xingyi’s chest.
As Yun Xingyi had been preparing for body seizing, he had removed his magic robe and was completely defenseless.
The avatar’s full-force thrust with the Third Grade Sword Base pierced Yun Xingyi’s skin and penetrated about an inch before it could go no further.
Although the Third Grade Sword Base was claimed to be used in making attack-type magic artifacts, it still fell short of a Golden Core-grade artifact.
Under this absolute advantage where Yun Xingyi virtually lacked any defensive power, a hit that had been premeditated by the avatar trained in “Sword Demon Secret Manual” Body Refinement from the Qi Refinement Peak, caused only slight damage.
However, both Li Shiming and the IBM z15 calculations had anticipated this. By the time the avatar realized it could not pierce Yun Xingyi’s chest, it was already too late to retreat.
The avatar’s body instantly transformed into a copper corpse.
Reacting quickly, Yun Xingyi swung his hand powerfully, sending the avatar flying. The sound of breaking bones could still be heard while it flew through the air.
It was hard to imagine the immense power of that strike, especially considering that the avatar, transformed into a Refining Corpse, had its defensive power several times stronger than that in its human state.
Yet, such defense was heavily damaged by a casual blow from Yun Xingyi, who had been gravely injured and deprived of his Golden Core.
And inside Yun Xingyi, there was a surge of inexplicable horror. The cultivator who had suddenly appeared had a better constitution than Li Shiming.
Gold Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, body refined with Third Grade Metal, and at the peak of Qi Refinement Realm.
If he could seize that body, it would take him just a few days to recover to the Foundation Establishment Stage strength.
It wasn’t Yun Xingyi’s fault that he was distracted at such a time; his life was nearing its end, and his only chance was to seize the body immediately.
Unfortunately for him, Li Shiming didn’t give him another opportunity. In Li Shiming’s hands, a strange top-grade magic tool had appeared out of nowhere.
This top-grade magic tool theoretically should be used by Body Refining Cultivators over two meters tall, as it resembled a hammer that was four meters long.
Li Shiming cradled the hammer part in his arms, aiming the other end directly at the exposed area of Yun Xingyi’s chest.
This hammer was none other than the new weapon he had named the Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun, which he had taken from the server room space just as the avatar lunged.
At the rear of the Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun, six thick cables connected to space, where the other end linked to the “Shock Thunder Array” in the server room space.
After several days of charging, the “Shock Thunder Array” had accumulated a substantial amount of electricity.
These six thick cables connected the Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun to the energy source, with fine arrays densely covering them and confining the devastating electricity within the cables.
Now, the Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun had completed loading the power, all preparations were done, and Li Shiming’s Third Grade Sword Base had been loaded into the electromagnetic gun, transformed into a bullet.
Upon seeing the Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun, Yun Xingyi was somewhat puzzled; could Li Shiming really expect to breach his defenses with this device?
The Top-grade Magic Device Electromagnetic Gun fired, the indescribable speed propelling the Third Grade Sword Base bullet, which shot out from the barrel.
