Master Qiao, detected by the Sanmei Divine Sand, attempted to retreat upon spotting the trap of the Sanmei Divine Wind but found himself trapped within the kilometer-radius isolation space of the Infinite Great Isolation Decree. Confronting Li Yuanba, who sought a fair duel free from surveillance, Master Qiao launched a sudden lightning assault, leveraging his Thunder Cultivator speed to overwhelm his foe. Li Yuanba, well-versed in the Yuqing Thunder Scripture, evaded behind an indestructible tower and countered with the gravitational pull of the Ten Thousand Sword Peak, unleashing over two thousand energy-converted flying swords infused with Great Cultivator Sword Intent. As Master Qiao prepared to self-destruct his Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer in desperation, Li Yuanba struck with the Chaos Sword Intent of his Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword, piercing defenses and inflicting devastating wounds on body and Nascent Soul.

Li Yuanba realized that employing his personal Lifebound Flying Sword Spirit Treasure, the Xingyi Sword, to eliminate a Great Cultivator greatly boosts the development of his ‘Chaos Sword Intent’.

Feedback from the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ embedded in his Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword reached him, gradually dissolving the Nascent Soul inside Master Qiao.

The furious rampage of ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ inside Master Qiao became vividly clear to him, deepening his grasp of its unique traits and guiding him toward future ways to strengthen it.

Gradually, he pulled back the Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword, and with a simple motion, the Spirit Treasure ‘Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ gathered up the energy-transformed flying swords that were still en route to Master Qiao.

Even though those over two thousand energy-transformed flying swords, infused with the Sword Intent of Great Cultivators, never struck Master Qiao, their looming danger crushed his fighting spirit, making it effortless for Li Yuanba’s Lifebound Flying Sword Xingyi Sword to finish him off.

A brief hesitation gripped Li Yuanba, and he chose not to gather Master Qiao’s remains.

Killing Master Qiao aligned with the cultivation world’s customs, as he had broken pacts honored by every superpower by assaulting fellow cultivators amid a shared operation in Hell Cave Heaven.

If Master Qiao had pulled off his hidden strike successfully, it would have merely sparked doubts from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, with no proof to back it up later.

But since Master Qiao had hunted down Li Yuanba only to fall at his hands, not even the Yuqing Sect could challenge Li Yuanba on this front.

Still, the deep grudge between Li Yuanba and the Yuqing Sect ensured no chance for reconciliation, regardless of Master Qiao’s failed ambush.

After a short reflection, Li Yuanba retracted the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

As he did, the Great Cultivators hovering far off came into view.

Almost every Great Cultivator from the second base had gathered, watching the unfolding drama.

Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu held their Lifebound Flying Swords poised for launch, as if set to shatter the sealed realm of the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

“Hiss!” The sight of the body sprawled on the ground made every Great Cultivator suck in a sharp breath.

These Great Cultivators knew of Li Yuanba’s feats, convinced he wielded power matching Great Cultivators, and that he had taken down Master Ge Guang from Infinite Sect.

Without Sword Elder’s talks with Infinite Sect’s leaders, the superpowers of Central State Continent could have plunged into a massive conflict.

Additionally, tales circulated of Li Yuanba solo-killing a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being within Hell Cave Heaven.

However, such stories paled against the raw spectacle unfolding right before them.

Before them lay Master Qiao of Yuqing Sect, a Thunder Cultivator on par with Sword Cultivators in might, one of the elite professions, and a full-fledged Great Cultivator at that.

A top-tier Thunder Cultivator Great Cultivator from a mighty superpower, defeated in direct combat by Li Yuanba.

Thanks to the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’, the Great Cultivators hadn’t seen the fight itself, yet its presence underscored the battle’s pure equity and uprightness.

The pair from Infinite Sect felt it most keenly, staring powerless at the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ that Li Yuanba had just reclaimed—a creation of their own sect’s masters.

Yet on issues involving Li Yuanba, Sword Elder had conferred with Infinite Sect’s authorities; outwardly at least, Infinite Sect’s members wouldn’t show animosity toward him.

Beyond that, Li Yuanba’s shown prowess intimidated those two Great Cultivators deeply.

Out of all the gathered Great Cultivators, Master Qiao from Yuqing Sect stood as one of the strongest.

One Great Cultivator from Infinite Sect noticed Li Yuanba’s aura cut off and detected the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’’s energy, promptly alerting everyone through transmission.

Despite some friction between Li Yuanba and Infinite Sect, it wouldn’t erupt here in Hell Cave Heaven, nor interfere with Infinite Sect members on their duties.

They relied on Li Yuanba’s aid to endure the extended tasks ahead.

Observing how Yuqing Sect and White Emperor Sect suffered without Li Yuanba’s support, the fallout from his absence was obvious—and unwelcome.

So, when that Infinite Sect Great Cultivator spread the word to all via channels, the group rushed over to check things out.

Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu itched to smash through the ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’.

Most concerned that Li Yuanba might have met trouble, the pair got talked down by fellow Great Cultivators.

Certain Great Cultivators identified the barrier as the work of ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’, aware that ties between Infinite Sect and Li Yuanba were common knowledge.

Indeed, Li Yuanba had set up this ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ himself, so when Yuqing Sect’s Master Qiao approached, he was ready and deliberately left an opening to lure him in.

Should they blindly assault the barrier woven by ‘Infinite Great Isolation Decree’, it could harm Li Yuanba.

During clashes of this magnitude, the tiniest error might swing the result entirely.

Therefore, despite their burning worry, Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu merely kept their Lifebound Flying Swords primed, set to swoop in and save Li Yuanba at a second’s notice.
