Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1453 - 773: Reinforcements

"Yuan Ba, your strength truly amazes me!" Great Cultivator Lou stepped closer to Li Yuanba and burst out in admiration.

Shaking his head, Li Yuanba replied, "I used the power stored in Ten Thousand Sword Peak for a long time!"

His booming voice carried clearly to the Sword Cultivators standing nearby.

The two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators nodded in agreement with his words, still stunned that such immense power could endure for so long.

In reality, Li Yuanba had stretched the truth. While he had drawn heavily on the energy from the Great Cultivator’s Sword Intent Energy-converted Flying Sword, a large portion remained untapped.

He possessed enough reserves to take down two or three additional Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings similar to the previous one.

By deliberately revealing to the other Sword Cultivators that ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ had its limits, he aimed to downplay its fearsome reputation and throw off any lurking foes.

That explosive display from Li Yuanba boosted the morale of the Sword Cultivators in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, sparking exceptional fighting prowess in the fights that followed.

Several more days slipped by, and during a moment of rest for Li Yuanba, he sensed through his link with Great Venerable Hongfa that backup forces from superpowers on distant continents had finally shown up.

These new arrivals turned the compact Hell Island into an even busier hub.

Yet that bustle was short-lived, lasting just half a day until the reinforcements plunged into the Hell Cave Heaven.

On this occasion, eleven superpowers sent their forces, with each group commanded by a pair of Great Cultivators and backed by a hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners per superpower.

Once this wave of support dove into the Hell Cave Heaven, the cultivators gained the ability to launch broader sweeps against the threats.

Following brief talks, a squad drawn from the Central State Continent’s superpowers came together, as did a counterpart from the other continents’ superpowers, with the pairs pushing onward in separate paths toward the Hell Cave Heaven’s core.

The superpowers of the Central State Continent took the lead in suggesting this split, a plan that the others eagerly accepted.

For those from the foreign continents’ superpowers, their larger group felt robust and fresh, untouched by the Hell Cave Heaven’s draining toll so far.

Over on the Central State front, the cultivators showed signs of fatigue after close to twenty days of relentless combat.

The outsiders from other continents’ superpowers remained unaware of the clever motive behind the Central State superpowers’ idea.

Every cultivator from the Central State superpowers carried a ’Space Acceptance Talisman’, enabling an instant retreat to Hell Island if peril struck.

This safeguard boosted their protection immensely, and ever since obtaining the ’Space Acceptance Talisman’, the majority had evaded disaster in tight spots, barring a handful of truly unfortunate souls.

Those ill-fated few got ambushed by Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings and perished in a flash, too swiftly to trigger their ’Space Acceptance Talisman’.

To keep the ’Space Acceptance Array’ secret from the other continents’ cultivators, the Central State superpowers opted for this team division.

Regarding the defenders left at the base, both sides assigned portions of their forces to hold the position.

By now, the entry point had grown far more secure thanks to almost twenty days of purging by the Central State superpowers’ cultivators, thinning out the Hell Creatures near the base, while clashes elsewhere pulled many away.

As a result, worries about the entry base’s defense were minimal. In the worst case, a call to the Central State cultivators would bring swift aid via the ’Space Acceptance Array’ to reinforce it.

"Yuan Ba, have your five Golden Corpses take the lead!" Great Cultivator Lou instructed Li Yuanba.

Great Cultivator Lou had little option; as the groups prepared to move, all the Great Cultivators insisted that Li Yuanba’s five Mid-stage Golden Corpses spearhead the advance.

They recognized that the Heavenly Sword Intent Tower’s steady progress lately owed much to these five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, beyond the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills and the ’Space Acceptance Array’.

These five Mid-stage Golden Corpses soaked up the bulk of the hazards, and even against a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being, they avoided instant destruction.

With their incredibly tough defenses, the Mid-stage Golden Corpses could withstand a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being’s assault long enough for Li Yuanba to apply the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills and restore them.

Hence, sending in the Mid-stage Golden Corpses to scout ahead proved smarter than endangering live cultivators, especially since these undead warriors thrived in such brutal settings.

Were it not for the knowledge that Li Yuanba’s Mid-stage Golden Corpses were exceptional, every superpower might have rushed to breed their own flocks of them.

Li Yuanba unleashed his five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, sending them out front to blaze the trail.

The rival team departed too; boasting more members than Li Yuanba’s bunch, along with extra Great Cultivators, they brimmed with assurance.

The veteran Great Cultivators, worn from nearly twenty days inside the Hell Cave Heaven, warned the fresh arrivals about its perils.

Still, the newcomers relied on their instincts. Regardless of the Hell Cave Heaven’s terrors, seeing how the Central State superpowers’ cultivators had secured a haven, built a outpost, and swept a vast zone around it suggested the risks were conquerable.
