Five days had passed since Li Shiming used the ancient contract paper to summon the spirit beast. On this day, news came from the warning formation newly established by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect that a powerful spirit beast was rapidly approaching the Dongqi Continent.
This warning formation is a reconnaissance formation that can scan the breath fluctuations produced by life forms other than human cultivators.
Of course, the warning formation is not very effective against powerful beings that hide their aura, and their presence is often undetectable.
The main function of the warning formation is to detect powerful spiritual beasts near the sea, making it convenient for the Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in various places to go over and kill them.
However, the powerful spirit beast detected this time, judging from the alarm level of the warning formation, is a late-stage fourth-grade spirit beast, which is not something an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator can deal with.
The several great monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were extremely busy. After receiving the news, Great Monk Hu and Great Monk Ding set out from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, intending to intercept the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast.
With the positioning of the warning formation, they accurately determined the advance route of the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast, and waited on the route that the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast must pass.
"What is that?" Master Ding controlled the wind to float in the air, and was able to maintain the fastest speed at any time. He pointed into the distance and exclaimed.
In the distance, a bolt of lightning was approaching at such a speed that the hairs on his body stood up.
Although speed and strength are not absolutely matched, a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast with such speed is definitely a terrifying existence that is extremely difficult to deal with.
Not to mention that from the aura of thunder and lightning on the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast, one could tell that this was a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast that controlled thunder and lightning.
Generally speaking, spiritual beasts have stronger control over energy than cultivators of the same level.
For thunder cultivators, if they want to unleash the power of thunder and lightning energy, they need to release thunder magic to unleash its power.
However, a spiritual beast that has mastered thunder and lightning can release powerful thunder and lightning power simply by relying on instinct.
Flames rose from Monk Hu's body, and a flaming sword danced around him.
"No matter what it is, we must stop it, otherwise it will bring huge trouble to Dongqi Continent!" he said in a deep voice.
Under normal circumstances, this type of spiritual beast would be intercepted in the ocean and would not be allowed to enter the mainland.
But this time, because the speed of the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast was too fast, they set out to intercept it from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, but were unable to intercept it before the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast entered the continent.
If we still cannot intercept the late fourth-grade spirit beast on the mainland, the consequences will be extremely serious.
The destructive power caused by this type of fourth-grade late-stage spiritual beast that possesses thunder and lightning is no weaker than the destructive power caused by the great monk Yan Gao in the Dongqi Continent.
After all, Master Yan Gao is still a cultivator, and he will be cautious in his actions, but a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast has no scruples, and if it is not careful, countless cultivators will die.
The Wanshou Sect has become the largest sect in the Dongqi Continent. Along with huge benefits, it also has corresponding responsibilities.
If the Wan Beast Sect enjoys the benefits but fails to protect the Dongqi Continent, the reputation of the Wan Beast Sect in the Dongqi Continent will be greatly affected. Even with the suppression of powerful combat power, many cultivators will pretend to obey the Wan Beast Sect but secretly disobey it.
"Then prepare for battle!" Great Monk Ding also summoned his wind sword and prepared to cooperate with Great Monk Hu.
The speed of the late fourth-grade spirit beast was very fast, and its aura could be sensed more and more as the distance got closer.
The previous ones were scan results of the warning formation, which were not necessarily accurate and were far less accurate than the great monk’s personal perception.
When Monk Hu and Monk Ding both sensed the aura of a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast, their expressions suddenly changed.
"I'll stop it, you go and invite Li Shizhen quickly!" Monk Ding shouted with a grim expression.
"You don't want to live anymore. Let's resist together. I will use my identity jade disc to notify Shizhen right away!" Monk Hu shouted without any retreat.
"You are a hundred times more important than me. Only with you will Li Shizhen feel a sense of belonging to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!" Master Ding shouted anxiously.
Master Ding knew very well that with the size of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it could not afford to support someone like Li Shiming.
As long as Li Shiming is willing, any superpower will be willing to have him join.
The reason why Li Shiming still stays in the Wanshou Sect is because his master, Master Hu, is in the Wanshou Sect, so he has a strong sense of belonging to the Wanshou Sect.
The current strength of the Wanshou Sect was all brought about by Li Shiming. If Li Shiming left the Wanshou Sect, how could the Wanshou Sect occupy most of the Dongqi Continent and suppress the forces everywhere?
"What nonsense! I believe in Shi Zhen. Even if I die, he will still protect the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!" Great Monk Hu prepared for battle and replied in a deep voice.
Master Ding said nothing more and stood beside Master Hu.
He had already made up his mind that even if he died, he would die before Master Hu.
The battle was about to begin, and the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast had obviously discovered them, and the terrifying aura of thunder and lightning surged over like a mountain.
Monks Hu and Ding could only resist the lightning with all their strength. They truly felt the terror of a peak late fourth-grade spiritual beast.
Just when they thought a battle was about to begin, the lightning transformed from a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast flashed past them and did not attack them.
Or maybe the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast had some urgent business and was too lazy to pay attention to the two not-so-powerful cultivators.
A feeling of being ignored arose in the hearts of the two great monks, but fortunately this feeling was not bad, at least they would not be torn into pieces by a late fourth-grade spirit beast.
They looked at each other, then looked in the direction of the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast, gritted their teeth and chased after it.
Li Shiming received a message from Master Hu, saying that he was in the process of cultivation and it would take some time for him to come out of the cultivation state.
He was not in a hurry, because he roughly knew the identity of the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast. At this point in time, a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast with thunder attribute suddenly broke into the Dongqi Continent. Needless to say, it was the contracted spirit beast on the ancient contract paper.
This time he didn't have to panic. He just controlled an empty brain and sent an order to the ancient contract paper prohibiting attacks on the monks of Dongqi Continent.
It was this order of his that saved Great Monk Hu and Great Monk Ding. Otherwise, with the powerful spirit beast that was noticed by a half-step great power and chose to stay with them after being promoted to a great power, the two great monks would probably not be able to withstand even a single blow from it.
Li Shiming came out of his cultivation state and left the cave. He monitored the location of the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast through the drone satellite system. He didn't need to go to greet it, as the fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast was about to arrive.
He smiled and looked in one direction. Through his Divine Eyes, he saw a flash of lightning, in which there was faintly the silhouette of a strange beast.
"Thunder beast, how could it be a thunder beast?" Li Shiming imported the image of the strange beast into IBMz15 for search, and soon IBMz15 gave an answer.
But he was a little puzzled by this answer, because the thunder beast was not an ordinary spirit beast, but a legendary divine beast.
Of course, both the phoenix and the dragon are considered mythical beasts, but the phoenix and the dragon have left descendants in the world of immortal cultivation. The Red-Gold Phoenix is a clan with the richest bloodline among the descendants of the phoenix.
But the thunder beast is purely a legendary beast. At least he is in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and has never heard of the appearance of a thunder beast.
Although the Wanshou Sect is not strong in terms of strength, it is definitely the best in the world of immortal cultivation in terms of cultivating and researching spiritual beasts.
Others like Zhongzhou Trading Company, Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and the sect whose library was seized by Li Shiming, also have records of thunder beasts in their books, but they are all rumors from ancient times.
In Li Shiming's opinion, creatures like the Thunder Beast should theoretically have become extinct tens of thousands of years ago.
When a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast arrived nearby and emerged from its thunder escape state to reveal its true form, Li Shiming could be 100% sure that it was a thunder beast.
The fourth-grade late-stage thunder beast came to Li Shiming's side, with wisdom in its eyes. It looked at Li Shiming with surprise and question, as if it didn't understand how its master had become the cultivator in front of him.
From Li Shiming, the fourth-grade late-stage thunder beast can sense the soul connection brought by the ancient contract, which cannot be wrong.
The fourth-grade late-stage thunder beast bowed and saluted Li Shiming, acknowledging Li Shiming's identity and expressing its own attitude.
Li Shiming recalled the records of the thunder beast in his mind. He looked at the thunder beast and condensed a ball of lightning in his hand.
The lightning energy in this lightning group was transformed through the 'Heavenly Art' and was blessed by the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in the computer room space, which made this lightning group contain terrifying lightning power.
He threw the ball of lightning to the thunder beast, which happily took it and after feeling it, swallowed it in one gulp.
Seeing the thunder beast squinting its eyes in happiness and enjoying itself, Li Shiming knew that what he did was right.
Taking this opportunity, he took a closer look at this legendary beast.
The body of the Thunder Beast is very special, and its entire body is covered with lightning. Even if he has activated the 'Divine Eyes', he cannot observe the actual body of the Thunder Beast, as if the entire body is made up of lightning.
The thunder beast is three meters long, somewhat like a silver cheetah, with a slender and streamlined body, and is a beautiful creature.
He walked up to the thunder beast, stretched out one hand and gently placed it on it.
The thunder beast was afraid of hurting him, so as his hand fell, the lightning was digested and transformed into solid silver-white fur at the place where it fell.
Li Shiming now understood that the thunder beast could actually switch between lightning energy and entity at will.
This ability is too terrifying. It is somewhat similar to the state of the Sky Ghost, but the Sky Ghost's body is made of spiritual energy, while the Thunder Beast's body is made of lightning energy.
Even Li Shiming had to think carefully about how to attack a ball of lightning energy.
Given the lightning energy state of the Thunder Beast, there is probably little power in this world that can harm it.
Li Shiming also understood a little why Yang Xing, a half-step great man, would use the ancient contract paper to sign a contract with the thunder beast instead of signing a contract in the normal way.
The life state of the Thunder Beast, whose energy is completely transformed into lightning, is a question of how long the spiritual imprint injected into the Thunder Beast's body can last in the lightning state.
"What, you still want the Thunder and Lightning Team?" Li Shiming heard the Thunder Beast call out to him softly. With the connection of souls, he immediately understood what the Thunder Beast meant.
He smiled and condensed another ball of lightning and handed it to the thunder beast.
The thunder beast once again happily opened its mouth and swallowed the ball of lightning. He shared the thunder beast's happiness through the connection with its soul.
In the thunder beast's happy perception, he saw a sea of thunder and lightning. Countless golden lightnings fell from the sky, and the sea formed by thunder and lightning was everywhere around the thunder beast.
The thunder beast jumped happily in it, occasionally swallowing a mouthful of lightning that looked more powerful.
This is the memory of the thunder beast. The sea of thunder and lightning is where it was born. Just look at the golden lightning in the sky. Each one has the power of a great monk's thunder tribulation. He feels that this sea of thunder and lightning should not be in Zhongzhou Continent, or any other continent.
If there really was such a sea of thunder and lightning, there was no way he had not heard of it.
There are indeed several seas of thunder and lightning in the world of immortal cultivation, but their power is vastly different from the seas of thunder and lightning in the memory of the thunder beast.
The ball of lightning condensed by Li Shiming reminded the Thunder Beast of the sea of lightning where it was born.
The lightning energy of the lightning group is also beneficial to the thunder beast. This lightning is much more powerful than the lightning unleashed by the peak thunder cultivator.
Although there is still a gap between him and the half-step great power, the power of lightning is still slightly higher than that of the thunder beast.
It must be said that the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' is indeed a top-notch thunder treasure, which can enhance the power of thunder and lightning of a thunder cultivator to a great level. If it weren't for the other requirements of the great power realm, perhaps his thunder and lightning can really have the power of a thunder cultivator.
Li Shiming looked at the thunder beast with fondness in his eyes.
Although he has Xiaofeng and Huanlinglong, Xiaofeng's back is not comfortable to sit on, and Huanlinglong's back is only suitable for standing.
Looking at the thunder beast in front of him, it seemed to be extremely convenient to ride.
Thinking of this, he expressed his desire to sit on the Thunder Beast's back.
When seeing another ball of lightning condensed in Li Shiming's hand, the thunder beast gave up its pride and considerately used the lightning energy to create a convenient seat for its master that fits the structure of the human body, allowing Li Shiming to sit more comfortably.
Li Shiming sat on the thunder beast, and except for the place where he was sitting, the rest of the body remained in a state of thunder and lightning.
This made him look like he was wrapped in lightning, and from a distance he looked like a god who controlled lightning.
Coincidentally, Great Monk Hu and Great Monk Ding were tracking the direction of the thunder beast. When they found that the thunder beast was heading towards the Taichu branch, they felt both nervous and relieved.
I was nervous because I was worried about Li Shiming, but I was relieved because Li Shiming was in that direction.
This feeling is extremely contradictory. In the Wanshou Sect or in the entire Dongqi Continent, the strongest person is Li Shiming. If Li Shiming cannot resist a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast, then no cultivator in the Dongqi Continent can defeat a fourth-grade late-stage spirit beast.
Even if all the cultivators were combined, they would not be a match for the fourth-grade late-stage peak spirit beast that controlled thunder and lightning.
