Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1935: Chapter 1014: Test

Li Shiming looked at the Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar, and now he no longer felt the way he did before about the Great Power avatar.

Perhaps the energy within Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar could exert the power of one or two attacks from Great Power Mao Gang’s true body, but this energy no longer posed any threat to him.

This didn’t require a battle; at their level, as long as they were face-to-face at a close distance, the difference in strength could be clearly felt.

Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar was also quite helpless. He had originally thought to take advantage of Li Shiming’s recent promotion, believing Li Shiming might not have full control over his own strength, thus defeating him.

But he never expected that even before making a move against Li Shiming, he, an expert in formation techniques, was trapped by Li Shiming’s formation.

At least in the area of formation techniques, he was defeated by Li Shiming.

Now, he had to give his all, using a strong approach to break the large formation unleashed by the ’Beidou Formation Map’.

Li Shiming now wasn’t without weaknesses. Having just ascended to the Great Power Realm, Li Shiming’s ability to control his own energy was far inferior to Great Power Mao Gang.

Additionally, the quality of energy in Li Shiming’s Grotto Heaven was also far inferior to that of Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar, and this was Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar’s opportunity.

Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar did not bring many treasures this time.

In battles at the Half-step Great Power and Great Power levels, treasures below fifth-grade are utterly ineffective.

Because even half-step Great Power’s body is sturdier than a fourth-grade treasure, thus to carry treasures, at least a Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure is needed.

However, Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasures are not so easily obtained; even sect inheritance spirit treasures aren’t acquired so easily.

Without establishing a connection with an inheritance spirit treasure, even a Great Power cannot use the sect inheritance spirit treasure.

This time, Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar brought only the ’Nine Heavens Star Constellation Array Diagram’ as a supreme treasure. Normally, with the ’Nine Heavens Star Constellation Array Diagram’ combined with his mastery of formations, he could gain the upper hand in battle.

But this had a prerequisite: his formation abilities had to surpass the opponent’s.

Li Shiming’s formation abilities almost crushed those of Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar, making it impossible for Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar to suppress Li Shiming in terms of formations, but instead, he was suppressed by Li Shiming.

The ’Nine Heavens Star Constellation Array Diagram’ of Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar was also suppressed by Li Shiming’s ’Beidou Formation Map’, leaving him with no other combat methods besides releasing spells with his energy.

He mobilized most of the energy within his body, and a terrifying aura surged out.

The sea was affected by this aura, concaving downward, the seawater dispersing to the surroundings.

The large formation triggered by the ’Beidou Formation Map’ trembled under the impact of this aura.

Li Shiming gestured, taking over the control of the ’Beidou Formation Map’. The shadow of the ’Beidou Formation Map’ continuously changed, and the surrounding formation changed accordingly.

Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar swung a beam of energy towards Li Shiming, a thick energy column rushing towards him.

He intended to break the formation with force, which was the most direct way to unravel complex formations.

Great Powers are the most formidable beings in this world, and truthfully, not many formations can withstand their forceful unraveling.

Li Shiming still did not make a move; he kept manipulating the ’Beidou Formation Map’, transforming the triggered formation.

As for Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar’s attack, he didn’t even consider avoiding it.

In fact, the direction of Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar’s attack was incorrect; what he saw was merely an illusion of Li Shiming.

The real Li Shiming was hidden within the formation, and without breaking through it, Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar was unable to accurately find him.

Nonetheless, even if Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar’s attacks couldn’t reach Li Shiming, they could still cause extremely serious damage to the formation.

Li Shiming simply wanted to test the limits of the ’Beidou Formation Map’, and having a Great Power like Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar willing to cooperate wasn’t easy.

Under the attack of Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar, the nodes along the path of the formation triggered by the ’Beidou Formation Map’ were destroyed. Yet, even if the nodes were destroyed, new ones would quickly appear nearby.

The newly appeared nodes maintained the existence of the original formation.

Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar watched the front with a grim expression, his energy attack merely passing through Li Shiming’s illusion.

He was well aware that the figure was not Li Shiming’s true body, but rather an illusion created by the formation.

What frustrated him even more was that not only did the energy attack fail to affect Li Shiming, but it also didn’t even manage to destroy the formation.

Li Shiming’s formation abilities were too terrifying, with such intricate control that Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar couldn’t imagine any cultivator in the world being able to manipulate formations to such an extent.

"Li Shiming, as a Great Power, do you dare to fight me? Don’t hide behind your formation!" Great Power Mao Gang’s avatar gave up attacking the formation and called out in a deep voice.

The energy within the Great Power Avatar was limited; such attacks couldn’t be executed many times.

If most of the energy was wasted on breaking the formation, he feared he wouldn’t have enough energy left to battle Li Shiming later.

"I shall satisfy you!" Li Shiming had already tested the power of the ’Beidou Formation Map’, and he laughed heartily in response.

Under the control of a Great Power, the ’Beidou Formation Map’ was many times stronger than when at the half-step Great Power level.
