Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1444 - 768: Annihilation (Part 2)

Members of various super forces watched the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion team with visible envy. Protected by the "Space Acceptance Array" and bolstered by "Innate Wood" divine skills, their odds of surviving these perils were significantly higher than others.

Meanwhile, Grandmaster Wu and Great Cultivator Lou had already clashed with the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirit. The intensity of their combat reached a level where ordinary sword cultivators were unable to interfere.

Positioning Lou Wu behind him for protection, Li Yuanba summoned the "Ten Thousand Sword Peak" into the air once more to manifest its gravitational field.

He restricted the range of the gravitational field to a radius of eighty meters this time. This was a calculated move to shield his fellow sword cultivators while keeping the hell creatures at bay without overextending his reach.

This limitation was necessary; he lacked the capacity to unleash the full potential of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s spiritual treasure quality. At the Fourth Grade Top Quality rank, maintaining a massive gravitational field against a horde of four-grade mid-stage hell entities would have severely drained his reserves.

On a battlefield this treacherous, allowing one’s energy to be depleted excessively was a gamble he could not afford to take.

The two Great Cultivators shifted their duel away from the group, as the sheer force of their combat aftermath posed a threat to their own allies.

The rest of the sword cultivators were not resting either. The arrival of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirit had whipped the other hell creatures into a frenzy, causing them to launch a relentless assault.

Li Yuanba kept a watchful eye on the high-level battle while remaining confident in his own position; the sword cultivators around him were successfully repelling the waves of hell creatures.

While the combined might of Grandmaster Wu and Great Cultivator Lou was formidable, their foe, the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirit, possessed the most resilient defense among all late-stage hell beings.

It was a classic confrontation between an unstoppable spear and an unbreakable shield, with the battle reaching a fever pitch immediately.

The Hell Bull Head Spirit let out a series of furious roars as thick black mist surged from its pores, hardening into a layer of defense that resembled heavy plate armor.

Great Cultivator Lou’s Flame Sword Intent set the creature ablaze, turning the shroud of black mist into a swirling vortex of fiery red.

However, the thick mist acted as an insulator, dampening the impact and causing less damage than one might expect.

In contrast, the Breaking Evil Sword Intent wielded by Grandmaster Wu proved to be far more effective than the Flame Sword Intent in this specific scenario.

This didn't imply that Grandmaster Wu possessed superior Sword Intent; rather, his Breaking Evil Sword Intent was the natural nemesis of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirit.

Grandmaster Wu’s blade sliced through the defensive mist, cutting deep into the creature's hide and drawing blood.

The wound twitched and pulsed as it attempted to knit itself back together, a testament to the terrifying self-healing capabilities that granted hell creatures such incredible endurance.

Yet, the injury remained open. Wounds inflicted by skilled sword cultivators are notoriously difficult to mend; unless the residual sword intent is purged, it will continue to eat away at the creature's vitality.

Suddenly, the Hell Bull Head Spirit’s frame expanded several times over, growing into a ten-meter-tall behemoth as its humanoid shape shifted into that of a gargantuan bull.

Li Yuanba detected a massive surge of radiation energy emanating from the beast, causing the very light around it to warp and distort.

He looked toward the two Great Cultivators with concern. Since they relied on their lifebound flying swords, any severe contamination of their weapons would result in a drastic suppression of their combat effectiveness.

For a sword cultivator, the lifebound flying sword is the core of their power; if the sword is compromised, disaster follows.

The two Great Cultivators were well aware of this danger. Sharing a brief look, they wordlessly agreed to end the confrontation as quickly as possible.

The disadvantage would only grow the longer the stalemate continued.

Grandmaster Wu recalled his lifebound flying sword to his side. Breaking Evil Sword Intent swirled around him, causing the glow of the blade to intensify to a blinding degree.

By re-empowering the weapon with his intent, he brought the lifebound flying sword to its absolute peak state.

The sword shot forward like a bolt of lightning, striking the exact spot where the bull-form Spirit had been wounded and carving deeper into the muscle.

Despite the creature's superior strength and armor, its agility was lacking. It could not keep up with the speed of the two cultivators, leaving it to thrash about in a futile, passive struggle.

Even the transformation into a giant bull failed to turn the tide. If anything, the increased size simply made it a larger, easier target.

Had its defenses remained intact, the giant bull form would have been a nightmare to deal with. However, with its hide already breached, Grandmaster Wu had a clear opening to exploit.

Sword after sword rained down. Though each strike only shaved away layers of flesh, the Breaking Evil Sword Intent ensured these wounds could not be closed.

Once the lacerations reached a critical depth, Great Cultivator Lou—who had been silently gathering his strength—finally unleashed his strike.

His lifebound flying sword had turned from a fiery red to a brilliant, searing white after being saturated with Flame Sword Intent and charged to its limit.

The white blade plunged into the existing wound. None of the previous injuries had provoked such a violent reaction from the beast.

The Hell Bull Head Spirit let out an agonizing shriek, its massive body collapsing and writhing on the ground in a desperate attempt to escape the pain.

However, there was no escaping the devastation caused by Lou’s full-power strike.

Following Grandmaster Wu’s relentless preparation of the wound, Great Cultivator Lou’s final blow had injected a massive surge of Flame Sword Intent directly into the creature's core.

While its outer hide was tough, its internal organs were defenseless against the ravaging heat of the Flame Sword Intent.

The creature's vulnerable insides were torn apart by the intense energy.

As it rolled in agony, the Spirit lost the strength to maintain its bull form and shrank back into its humanoid shape.

A faint red light pulsed beneath its skin, a sign that the Flame Sword Intent was still incinerating it from within.

Seizing the moment, the two Great Cultivators showed no mercy, their swords falling like rain upon the crippled Spirit.

After more than a hundred consecutive strikes, the life force of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Bull Head Spirit finally flickered out and vanished.

Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu let out long sighs of relief. Battling such a high-level Hell Being in an open environment was an exhausting and difficult feat.

They were fortunate that the encounter had concluded without any unforeseen complications.

"Yuanba, come and take care of this!" Great Cultivator Lou called out.

By now, the corpse had crumbled into ash, leaving behind nothing but a "Hell Disgust Crystal Essence."

The experts on Hell Island were well aware that Li Yuanba possessed a unique method for handling these essences.

The super forces had conducted extensive research on "Hell Disgust Crystal Essence" and found that its corrosive effect on spiritual items made it useless for formations or artifact refining.

Furthermore, because they couldn't effectively contain its radiation, storing the essence was a major headache for most.

Since Li Yuanba could handle the "Hell Disgust Crystal Essence" safely, the task of collecting it naturally fell to him.
