Li Yuanba's "so close yet so far away" this time was actually not 100% certain.
He gave the core location of the formation based on IBMz15's analysis of the formation and the formation manual of Yuqing Sect in the IBMz15 database.
The accuracy of the core position of the formation estimated in this way is only 70%.
Obviously, his luck was pretty good, as the place where 'A World Away' brought him was exactly the core of the formation.
"Who is it?" His appearance was discovered by a cultivator guarding the core of the formation, who asked with slight surprise.
This cultivator is the formation master who manages the large formation. Due to his concern about the current situation, he was arranged by the sect to stand guard at the core of the formation.
He did not think that it was an enemy that broke in, but just thought that it was a fellow disciple who came over.
Li Yuanba didn't even pay attention to the formation master. He killed him with a flash of his sword. Then he came to the core of the formation and cast a spell at the core of the formation.
Just before the formation was about to sound the alarm, he gained control of the core of the formation.
It was seen how he easily infiltrated the Yuqing branch's formation and gained control of it. However, the only two people in the entire cultivation world who could do this who truly relied on their formation abilities were probably Li Shiming and Li Yuanba.
Having been an enemy of the Yuqing Sect for a long time, Li Yuanba obtained many jade slips from the monks of the Yuqing Sect, including relevant books on the Yuqing Sect's formations.
There are traces of the formations of any force, especially with the help of formation books. Although the formations may be different, some habits will be passed down from generation to generation.
It is easy to crack the formation, and it is also easy to control the core of the formation in an instant. The difficulty lies in entering the formation and finding the core of the formation before the formation reacts.
Li Yuanba connected his spiritual consciousness to the core of the formation. He mobilized the energy of the formation and began to make some changes.
This kind of large formation would send out a scan from time to time to investigate everything inside the formation.
This allowed him to grasp the locations of all the cultivators within the Yuqing branch without disturbing any other cultivators.
The formation sent out a scan, and the feedback was received by Li Yuanba.
Although the strength of Yuqing Sect was damaged, the strength of Yuqing Branch Sect still surprised him.
There were more than a hundred cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul. As for the great cultivators, it was also beyond his expectations that there were six great thunder cultivators in this branch sect.
One of them is a great monk named Lei Xiu, whose strength is close to that of a peak great monk.
"It is a super power after all. Its foundation is really terrifying!" Li Yuanba thought that many great monks of Yuqing Sect had been killed by him, and thought that the number of great monks would not be large, but he did not expect that there were six great thunder monks in this branch sect alone.
Although the number of great thunder cultivators in the Yuqing branch was beyond his expectations, his plan did not change.
The area of this branch sect is not large, and the main spiritual vein is located on a mountain. The six great thunder cultivators all live on this mountain, each in a cave residence somewhere in the mountain.
Li Yuanba smiled coldly, his figure flashed, and "A World Away" was activated, and he appeared on top of the mountain.
He released the 'Wanjian Peak' from his body, and the 'Wanjian Peak' instantly turned into a huge mountain, covering the mountains below.
At the same time, he released a late-stage golden corpse, which was a late-stage golden corpse wearing a full set of equipment. The order he gave to the late-stage golden corpse was to kill all life!
The sudden and terrifying gravity, along with the active cooperation of the Yuqing branch's formation, the gravity caused by the 'Gravity Bricks' of 'Wanjian Peak' all pressed down on the defense formation of the cave where the six great thunder cultivators were located.
The cave defense formation is usually used more as a warning method. Only when it is coordinated with a large formation can it intercept the attacks of cultivators of the same level for a short period of time.
At this time, not only did the large formation fail to cooperate with these cave formations, but it also interrupted the energy supply of the cave formations.
The spiritual power inside the cave can still be provided to the cave defense formation, but without the follow-up energy support, under the suppression of the terrifying gravity field, the six cave defense formations were broken within two breaths.
The six great thunder cultivators had not yet understood what was happening. The sudden attack left them confused for a moment, and they only relied on their instinctive reaction to leave the cave before the cave's defense formation lost its effect.
As soon as they came out of the cave, the six great thunder cultivators felt the heavy gravity, which slowed down their movements.
"It's a gravity field, activate the thunder escape!" The strongest thunder cultivator shouted in a deep voice.
In the Thunder Escape state, the body turns into lightning, which can minimize the impact of the gravity field.
The speeds of activating Thunder Escape by several Thunder Masters were different. Among them, the strongest Thunder Master had the fastest speed, one breath faster than the others.
Under normal circumstances, a great Thunder Master could activate Thunder Escape with just a slight movement of his mind, but under the influence of the gravity field, their movements were much slower.
Two screams were heard, and two great thunder cultivators who were activating Thunder Escape were attacked at the same time.
A great Thunder Cultivator was hit by Xing Yijian, which carried the 'Chaos Sword Intent'. With Xing Yijian's speed, it was difficult for the Thunder Cultivator to defend against this sword even if he was prepared.
Not to mention that this great thunder cultivator had to cancel his defensive spells because he needed to enter the thunder escape state.
The sword pierced into the body of the great monk Lei Xiu with almost no resistance, destroying his physical body and Nascent Soul.
Another great Thunder Monk was killed by a heavy hammer from the late stage golden corpse. This Thunder Monk was even more miserable than the previous one. The hammer was made of the Baidi Sect's fourth-grade late stage mountain magic weapon. Combined with the enormous power of the late stage golden corpse and the cold energy in its body, under this blow, the Thunder Monk only let out a scream, and no trace of his body was left.
"Escape separately!" The strongest thunder cultivator judged the enemy's strength and issued a warning.
He transformed himself into a lightning being and was about to escape into the distance.
But just when he had used Thunder Escape to travel dozens of meters, he found that lines of formation energy were blocking him. Even though his Thunder Escape could forcibly break through one line of formation energy, it could not easily pass through multiple lines of formation energy.
The most critical thing is that passing through the energy of the formation will greatly reduce his speed.
"What's going on? Has the authority of the formation been taken away?" His mind was in a mess and he couldn't understand this situation.
In the world of immortal cultivation, every cultivator has the utmost trust in formations.
The formation protects the monks, who can practice peacefully in the formation, keep their belongings and hide their secrets.
Especially the large formation, which has gone through countless years of tests to prove its reliability.
Although the Yuqing branch sect does not have the protection of the cave barrier, theoretically there is a large formation, and it will not be attacked inside the formation without any preparation.
Just as his mind was turning, he sensed countless terrifying sword intentions.
His eyes and spiritual sense both detected the appearance of a large number of flying swords. Each of these flying swords was of fourth-grade quality, and contained a sword intent that made him feel instinctive fear.
He was sure that the power of any one of these flying swords was even greater than the full-strength sword power of an ordinary sword cultivator.
And in his perception, more than two thousand flying swords surrounded him and the three living great thunder monks.
"The enemy has not let any of us go!" He thought of this in his mind, and with his last hope, he took out a life-saving jade talisman.
This is a life-saving jade talisman made by a great monk at the peak level, which allows him to activate the thunder escape at the level of a great monk at the peak level.
By using this life-saving jade talisman, he can possess the thunder escape ability of a peak thunder cultivator for a short period of time.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to use a better life-saving jade talisman, but that he doesn’t have one.
It's pitiful. Although he is currently ranked among the top in strength among the great cultivators in Yuqing Sect, he is unable to obtain the life-saving jade talisman from the great Luo Yuan because he has not reached the peak realm of a great cultivator.
The moment he activated the life-saving jade talisman, his thunder escape state was filled with a strong aura of thunder and lightning rules, which greatly increased his speed and penetration.
His figure passed through multiple array energy walls in succession. With his current speed, it is entirely possible for him to find a glimmer of hope in the blockade set up by more than 2,100 energy flying swords.
But just as he was about to break through the blockade set up by the energy flying sword, Li Yuanba's figure blocked his way.
Li Yuanba swept out a fourth-grade sword in his hand. This was a secret method of close combat sword cultivation from the 'Nameless Sword Canon'. Close contact with a great monk of thunder cultivation who had no close combat experience instantly decided life or death.
The other three great thunder cultivators were killed by energy-transformed flying swords, and none of them could escape successfully.
The battle here had long been discovered by other cultivators, but the battlefield of the great cultivators here was not something that those cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul could participate in.
Moreover, because the battle started and ended too quickly, by the time the early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators discovered something was wrong, the late stage golden corpses had already begun slaughtering the early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators.
The formation formed a cage that trapped beasts, and the early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators inside had no way to escape.
They let out shrill cries of despair, and the courageous monks launched a counterattack against the late-stage golden corpses.
But the courage of these monks was rapidly fading as the effects of the attack became apparent.
A late-stage golden corpse wearing a full set of equipment, let alone these cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul, even the full-strength attack of a peak great cultivator could not break through the defense of the late-stage golden corpse.
The speed of the late golden corpse is extremely fast. It has mastered the 'speed rule mark'. Its figure flashes back and forth among the early and middle Nascent Soul cultivators. Although it is not space movement, when it moves a short distance, it makes people feel the effect of space movement.
Li Yuanba ignored the massacre by the late golden corpse. Given the late golden corpse's sensitivity to life, no life could escape the detection of the late golden corpse.
He began to clean up the battlefield. He collected the spoils of the six great thunder monks and searched all over the mountain where the great thunder monks were. When the golden corpse ended the battle in the later period, he also found a small treasure house and emptied everything in it.
While cleaning up the battlefield, he also contacted IBMz15 and cleared all traces of sword cultivation that were scanned.
He did not want to expose himself too early, so as to avoid letting the Yuqing Sect know that it was him who killed the cultivators of the Yuqing branch sect.
Hiding his identity would allow him to eliminate more Yuqing Sect monks and inflict the greatest possible damage to Yuqing Sect.
After clearing all traces of the sword cultivator, he put away the late golden corpse, and his figure disappeared in the Yuqing branch sect in a flash. Using the "Instant Arrival" technique, he returned to the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion in a very short time.
Li Yuanba showed up in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion intentionally. When no one knew that he had mastered the skill of 'reaching the target in one fell swoop', even if there were cultivators who really suspected him, they would not be able to match the time.
In fact, the destruction of the Yuqing branch had an impact far beyond Li Yuanba's expectations.
The tragic situation of the Yuqing branch sect was discovered by a thunder cultivator from the Yuqing sect when he returned to the branch sect.
This Lei Xiu was very lucky. He had gone out for something that day and did not stay in the branch sect.
When he came back and entered the formation, he saw corpses all over the ground. All the brothers he knew had turned into corpses.
Although he did not see the bodies of the great monks Lei Xiu, the fact that the entire branch sect was dead silent and without a trace of life was very telling.
Fortunately, the communication formation was still usable, and he used it to send a message back to Yuqing Sect.
What happened in the Yuqing branch was not concealed for long before it was known by all the super powers.
All superpowers, including the Yuqing Sect, placed their suspicion on Li Shiming.
Luo Yuan, the great master of Yuqing Sect, did not go into seclusion. He had been paying close attention to the situation in Yuqing Sect. The intelligence department of Yuqing Sect had almost mobilized all its energy to investigate Li Shiming's situation.
A great and powerful man actually failed in his attempt to deal with a great monk, which made him lose face in front of other powerful men and became a laughing stock among them.
He even received messages from several powerful people, asking directly if it was true.
He was determined to capture Li Shiming, even if it cost him hundreds of years of accumulation.
Early that morning, he received the latest intelligence, which came from Yuqing Sect itself.
"Immediately recall all the peak cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage and increase the supply of resources to these cultivators!" After seeing the information, he issued the order in a deep voice.
It’s funny to say that the number of great thunder cultivators in Yuqing Sect has dropped to five.
Among them, there are two great Lei Xiu monks who are nearing the end of their lifespan and are currently living out their retirement in the sect awaiting death.
In other words, there are only three great thunder cultivators left from the super power Yuqing Sect. After the death of six great thunder cultivators trained by Yuqing Sect, the strength of the sect has dropped to an unprecedented level of weakness.
The six great thunder cultivators are in the Zhongzhou continent, not only to communicate with the various super powers, but also to plan to lure out Li Shiming's phantom clone.
But unexpectedly, before the plan was executed, all six great thunder cultivators died.
The great master Luo Yuan could only forcibly promote a group of great monks from among the peak cultivators of the middle Nascent Soul stage to deal with the emergency.
Doing this is not a good thing. The middle stage of the Nascent Soul is a period for laying a solid foundation. Those who can be promoted to great monks on their own can be promoted naturally. Those who cannot be promoted have insufficient talent. Great monks who are promoted by force have no potential and are most likely to remain in the early stage of great monks.
