Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1429 - 761: Joining the Battle

Li Yuanba was well aware of the capabilities possessed by these five mid-stage Golden Corpses; their velocity, raw power, and physical resilience far exceeded that of standard Golden Corpses by several times.

Consequently, as the engagement commenced, a mid-stage Golden Corpse could be seen launching a Hell Creature backward with a single strike.

A terrifying aura of death accompanied the blow, surging into the Hell Creature’s frame, yet the impact did not yield the results he had envisioned.

Utilizing nothing but pure physical force, the most the attack accomplished was fracturing the Hell Creature’s skeletal structure.

However, these entities from Hell possessed such immense physical durability that they could continue to maneuver even with shattered bones; seemingly immune to pain, they would persist in the fray unless executed instantly.

The performance of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses was undeniably spectacular as they constantly hurled Hell Creatures through the air, yet the actual damage dealt remained less than perfect.

"These Hell monsters possess an incredible resistance to dark energy, which significantly nullifies the potency of the Corpses’ strikes!" To Li Yuanba’s astonishment, it was Venerable Hongguang who spoke up to provide this insight.

Li Yuanba also observed that the Hell Creatures were inherently malevolent beings; their internal energy pulsed with an evil aura, further compounded by a dread-inducing radiation.

Fortunately, the martial prowess of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses was formidable. Despite their offensive efficiency being heavily suppressed, they remained capable of successfully halting the advance of the swarming Hell Creatures.

Stationed within a ten-meter-wide corridor, the five mid-stage Golden Corpses obstructed every Hell Creature; any beast that dared to draw near was promptly swatted away.

As they were flung back, the airborne Hell Creatures would collide with several of their kin trailing behind them.

The reason Venerable Hongguang had bothered to explain the situation to Li Yuanba was that the latter’s arrival had become a pivotal factor in the defense.

Even though he and Master Wu Ge were exceptionally powerful, they lacked an efficient method to handle these nearly limitless waves of Hell Creatures.

Maintaining such high-intensity attacks indefinitely was impossible, and they needed to remain in peak condition for the moment Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings emerged from the Hell Cave Heaven.

Their specific duty was to intercept those Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings.

The destructive potential of a single Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being was far greater than that of a hundred mid-stage counterparts.

"All cultivators, initiate area-of-effect spells! Do everything in your power to wound these abominations!" Master Wu Ge barked the order in a somber tone.

The criminal cultivators, who were positioned behind individual defensive formations at the front lines, abandoned their previous combat plans upon hearing the command and transitioned to range spells.

They had desired to use area-of-effect spells earlier but lacked the window to do so.

Such spells required extensive preparation, and the Hell Creatures moved with significant speed. Even if a range spell were successfully unleashed, it usually failed to inflict meaningful harm on the agile monsters.

The circumstances had shifted now, however, with the five mid-stage Golden Corpses anchoring the front and bottling the Hell Creatures inside the narrow passage.

As a greater number of Hell Creatures poured out from the Hell Cave Heaven, the ten-meter-wide path before the five mid-stage Golden Corpses grew increasingly congested.

This congestion placed heavy pressure on the five mid-stage Golden Corpses, forcing them to strike even faster to keep the encroaching monsters at bay.

With no immediate threat to their safety, the criminal cultivators were granted the luxury of time to concentrate on their incantations, launching one range spell after another.

While the damage from a single spell was modest, the collective power of nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners was devastating. The overlapping damage from these spells nearly liquidated the entire area directly in front of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses.

This outcome far surpassed anything achieved during their previous two-hour skirmishes, offering a sense of relief to the criminal cultivators.

Their survival was guaranteed as long as the defensive line held firm.

Li Yuanba paid little attention to the overall victory, focusing instead on monitoring the health of his mid-stage Golden Corpses.

Though the Golden Corpses moved with great speed, the sheer density of the enemy meant that while melee attackers rarely connected, the Hell Sheep Head Creatures in the rear managed to land several black energy orbs on the five corpses.

After inspecting their condition, he let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Just as the death aura of his corpses was ineffective against the monsters, the evil energy utilized by the Hell Creatures proved equally useless against the mid-stage Golden Corpses.

Given that these five possessed defensive capabilities far beyond those of regular Golden Corpses—who were already legendary for their toughness—the few hits they sustained left them virtually unscathed.

The sole complication was the radiation embedded in the evil energy, which began to contaminate the mid-stage Golden Corpses.

He did not pull them back despite the radiation; he was present as the representative of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and every kill contributed to the Sect's prestige.

Even if these five mid-stage Golden Corpses were eventually destroyed, it would not bother him much; provided he had enough materials for Cultivation and corpse refining, he could produce more of them.

Li Yuanba joined the fray then, aiming his strikes at the Hell Sheep Head Creatures lurking behind the front-line monsters.

The velocity of his restrained Xingyi Sword remained unimaginably swift.
