Li Shiming felt his injuries heal quickly, and he focused his attention on the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' in his hand.
The 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer', which has been strengthened by the fourth-grade top-level refining material 'Thousand Thunders and Ten Thousand Refined Gold', is now undergoing the transformation of the energy of heaven and earth. This is the reward given by heaven and earth to the magic weapon that has survived the calamity of the weapon.
A strange mark appeared on the surface of the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer'. With the experience of his clone Li Yuanba, the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' was one of his natal magic weapons. He sensed the situation of the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' through the Mu Lei Yuanying and explored the effect of the strange mark.
This strange mark is the 'Thunder and Lightning Rule Mark', which is a rule mark generated by 40 million thunder attack formations and as many as 480 million thunder runes under the influence of the rewards from heaven and earth.
However, the original 40 million lightning attack formations and as many as 480 million lightning runes were hidden and could not be found from the surface of the "Sky Thunder Hammer".
He sensed the existence of a spirit inside the 'Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer'.
He transmitted the 'Jade Clear Thunder Code' through the inexplicable connection with the spirit of the weapon, and also transmitted the detailed explanation of the 'Jade Clear Thunder Code'.
During this period, Li Shiming has also been studying the flying sword Xing Yijian, the natal flying sword of his clone Li Yuanba. He discovered some details about the spirit of the spiritual treasure, and combined with the "secret method of controlling the spirit and conceiving the treasure" given by Master Jian, his research on the spirit of the spiritual treasure is no longer the same as before.
Weapon spirits all have their own talents, which are related to spiritual treasures and the imprints of rules.
Just like the sword spirit of Li Yuanba's natal flying sword Xingyijian, it possesses talents in both sword skills and speed.
His talent for sword cultivation is due to the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' that Li Yuanba cultivated, and the fact that Xingyijian was Li Yuanba's natal flying sword. His talent for speed is due to the 'Speed Rule Mark', which was a reward from heaven and earth given to Xingyijian after he survived the spiritual treasure calamity.
However, Li Shiming's 'Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer' only has one talent, which is the talent for thunder and lightning.
Whether it was the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code' that he practiced, or the 'Thunder and Lightning Rule Mark' on the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer', they all pointed to the same aspect of thunder.
It is impossible to say whether the more talents a weapon spirit controls, the better, or the fewer the better, because the fighting styles of both sides are completely different and there is no comparability at all.
Xing Yijian's fighting style is long-range attack with flying sword, while Tianji Leichui is mainly used to perform thunder magic. He never uses Tianji Leichui to hit people. In addition, the speed of lightning after performing thunder magic itself is very fast. The real comparison still depends on which cultivator who uses the two spiritual treasures has a higher cultivation level.
Li Shiming was just about to take the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' into his body, but his keen perception revealed something wrong. Without any hesitation, he used 'A World Away'. His figure disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already 12,000 meters away.
And where he was, a flash of lightning was erupting and spreading around at an incredibly fast speed. If he was a step slower, he would be covered by the lightning.
Although he did not feel any danger, he still mobilized twenty brains, and used "So Close Yet So Far Away" to the extreme. He used "So Close Yet So Far Away" continuously without any interruption.
His danger perception did not detect any danger, but judging from the power of the lightning that appeared at the location where he was originally located through his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, the power of that lightning was at the level of a great monk.
And it is precisely the failure to sense danger that indicates that one is in big trouble.
A great monk who approaches in secret is more terrifying than a great monk who approaches openly and honestly.
He didn't even think about checking who the other person was, he just wanted to get away as quickly as possible.
"How is it possible? How could a junior in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul escape my sneak attack!" A figure emerged from the sea, his whole body flashing with lightning. He was performing Thunder Escape in the sea.
Since sea water has a great influence on the cultivator's consciousness and perception, this cultivator deliberately used a secret method of concealment. In addition, his realm was higher than Li Shiming's, so Li Shiming did not even notice the approach of the other party.
If Li Shiming's reaction had not been connected to his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, and his brain had not been ready to use "A World Away", perhaps he would not have been able to dodge the hidden thunder attack just now.
When the electric light on the figure dissipated a little, his face was revealed, and it was none other than the great monk Duan Zhang from the Yuqing Sect.
After returning from Dongqi Continent, Yuqing Sect has been dealing with the affairs of Beiyan Continent, wanting to resolve the sect's troubles as soon as possible in order to accumulate strength to counterattack Dongqi Continent.
Great monk Duan Zhang came out on a mission this time. The three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators, Gan Tuo, Li Gang and Kang Miao, all came out together. This mission is very big. Not only these three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators, but also dozens of other Nascent Soul Middle Stage Thunder Cultivators are participating.
Gan Tuo, Li Gang and Kang Miao, three middle-stage Nascent Soul thunder cultivators, sent out distress signals when they encountered danger.
Li Shiming did not think of this at the time. It was not because he was careless, but because he was in a relatively deep part of the ocean, where there were not many communication formations covering it.
Besides, even if the three mid-Nascent Soul stage thunder cultivators sent out a distress signal and there was a communication formation to help transmit it, by the time Yuqing Sect’s support arrived, the battle would have been over, and he would have left long ago.
But he never expected that the Yuqing Sect's thunder cultivators were not just Gan Tuo, Li Gang, and Kang Miao, but there were many nearby, even the great cultivator Duan Zhang.
After receiving the distress signal, Master Duan Zhang used his thunder escape technique to move towards this side. At that time, Li Shiming was dealing with the third heavenly thunder and did not sense the situation in the distance in time.
Even his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 was affected by the weapon disaster and did not notice the approaching danger in the distance.
The most crucial thing is that when Master Duan Zhang approached to a certain distance, he sensed a trace of the breath of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
Under normal circumstances, if Li Shiming placed the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in the computer room, the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' would not leak out.
But at that time, Li Shiming was dealing with the thunder from the sky. In particular, the residual power of the last thunder from the sky was too strong. He used the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' to collect the lightning energy from the residual power of the thunder from the sky.
At that moment, a trace of the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' leaked out.
Coincidentally, Great Monk Duan Zhang sensed the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'. Originally, Great Monk Duan Zhang was planning to rush over to check it out, but after discovering the aura of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', he changed his mind.
He had investigated the disappearance of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'. He knew very well that the cultivator who tried to steal the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' was very cunning. Not only did he kill all the cultivators at that time, he also did not leave any clues.
So he chose to launch a sneak attack. As a thunder cultivator, and a great thunder cultivator at that, he would not normally do this as it would damage his Tao heart. However, for the sake of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', he could not care less.
He had some judgment about Li Shiming's strength. From his ability to kill Wang Yuan who had the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', as well as several Yuanying early stage cultivators from the Baidi Sect, it showed that Li Shiming was very powerful.
Although Wang Yuan was only an early Nascent Soul cultivator, he was carrying a large number of life-saving treasures and the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl", and even a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to stop him.
Therefore, Master Duan Zhang judged that Li Shiming's strength was close to the level of a master. In order to prevent Li Shiming from discovering his approach, he cast the dark thunder spell at a relatively long distance.
The Dark Thunder Spell is an extremely strange thunder spell that gathers the thunder spiritual power in the body into a ball of thunder. This ball of thunder has the effect of concealing itself and moves silently at a slow speed.
Great monk Duan Zhang cast a dark thunder spell at a relatively long distance, released a dark thunder ball, and pushed it towards where Li Shiming was.
When the dark thunder ball reached Li Shiming's location, it exploded and instantly engulfed that area.
However, Master Duan Zhang never expected that Li Shiming would be so alert. He was clearly still paying attention to the magic weapon in his hand, but he was still able to notice the explosion of the dark thunder ball in the first place.
The most exaggerated thing was that when the dark thunder ball exploded, Li Shiming performed "A World Away" faster than the speed of the dark thunder ball exploding.
In fact, Master Duan Zhang was too cautious. If he had gotten closer and put Li Shiming within his attack range, it would have been difficult for Li Shiming to take on him with his powerful thunder magic and the suppressing effect of his realm.
Of course, things have not developed to that point, so it is difficult to draw the most correct conclusion about the outcome.
When Master Duan Zhang saw Li Shiming running away, he knew that the precious treasure, the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', was in Li Shiming's possession, so he decided not to let Li Shiming go.
His figure turned into lightning and chased after Li Shiming.
He is the top among the great monks, and he can display the lightning escape technique, which is said to be second only to the space magic power in speed, and its speed is terrifying.
That is to say, when Li Shiming performed "A World Away", he used twenty brains to stimulate it continuously without any time interval, otherwise he would be caught up in the first place.
You should know that there is a huge gap between the realm of a great monk and that of the middle Nascent Soul stage, which can be seen from the identity and status of the great monk.
In any sect, even in a super power, the great monk is the top existence in the sect.
However, the status of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, who is only one realm lower, drops far behind.
In terms of strength, a great monk is far superior to a mid-Nascent Soul monk. Otherwise, why would a late-Nascent Soul monk be called a great monk instead of late-Nascent Soul monk?
A great monk is a powerful being who has mastered certain rules. This is what makes him different from monks of lower levels.
Don't underestimate this rule. Even if you have mastered the basics of the rule, it will bring about a drastic change in your strength.
Li Shiming has always been very confident that his supernatural power, with the help of his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15, makes his speed absolutely unparalleled in the world.
But this time he realized that he was looking at the world from a narrow perspective. His "close yet far away" was indeed very fast. His figure suddenly appeared at a distance of every 12,000 meters, and disappeared again before his figure even solidified.
However, the lightning transformed from the figure of the great monk Duan Zhang behind him drew a bright light in the void. At least in the short term, his speed was not much slower than Li Shiming.
Great monk Duan Zhang was also very ruthless. The speed at which he displayed his power now stimulated his limited power of thunder and lightning rules.
The power of thunder and lightning rules was the foundation for his advancement to the Mahayana stage, but at this time he could no longer care about so much. Catching Li Shiming was the most important thing.
The entire Yuqing Sect almost exhausted all its strength for the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl" and even launched a war with the Dongqi Continent for it. There were dozens of Nascent Soul Thunder Cultivators who died.
What’s the use of Yuqing Sect obtaining Dongqi Continent?
The resources in Dongqi Continent are relatively scarce and cannot provide a breeding ground for superpowers. That is why there are no superpowers in Dongqi Continent.
The goal of Yuqing Sect is to control the Dongqi Continent, investigate the whereabouts of the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', and find the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl'.
The unfinished task that the entire sect had put in, could be accomplished as long as he caught Lei Xiu in front of him. How could he give up?
Under normal circumstances, no matter how big the problem is, Master Duan Zhang would never consume the power of thunder and lightning rules.
It is precisely the power of thunder and lightning rules that allows him to perform thunder escape at such a terrifying speed.
Li Shiming was secretly anxious. He didn't know how long the rapid burst of lightning escape by Master Duan Zhang could last. He thought that in such an extreme speed pursuit, as long as there was any obstacle ahead, he would be caught up by Master Duan Zhang behind him.
Therefore, he needed to consider slowing down the great monk Duan Zhang behind him and stop letting him chase him.
He began to analyze his own strength in his mind, and he did not have many means to threaten the great monk.
The three 'Silver-winged Spirit Gu Insects' in his 'Gufeng Bag' have the power to threaten a great monk.
When Master Zhao Qingfeng released the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm', the other masters tried their best to push the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' away from themselves and did not dare to let the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Guworm' get close to them.
From this we can judge that the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug' is extremely threatening to great monks, but the attack method of the 'Silver-winged Spiritual Gu Bug' requires close combat to launch an attack.
At the current speed, releasing the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Worm' is equivalent to nothing, so the 'Silver Wing Spirit Gu Worm' can be abandoned.
Li Shiming thought of the living dead Zhao Qingfeng and the 'Thunderous Black Bow', which were also means that could threaten the great monk.
No matter what, although the living dead Zhao Qingfeng had lost his Nascent Soul, he still had the physical body of a great monk. The power provided by the great monk's physical body was converted into arrow attacks through the "Thunder Mysterious Bow". At least the great monk could not ignore this attack.
However, feeling the aura of the great monk behind him, Li Shiming also made a comparison in his mind. The aura of the great monk Duan Zhang behind him was stronger than all the great monks he had met.
He had no confidence that the arrows fired by the 'Thunder Bow' by the living dead Zhao Qingfeng could affect the great monk Duan Zhang. Even if Zhao Qingfeng was still alive, it would be difficult for him to do so.
