Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1471 - 782: Oath

Teams in the central part of the formation naturally confronted an even greater horde of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings, given that the Sword Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had already clashed with such formidable foes.

Distinctive bolts of lightning from the Yuqing Sect transformed the region ahead into a raging tempest of electrical fury.

With a powerhouse like Master Wang He leading them, the Yuqing Sect effortlessly managed the savage onslaught from the Hell Creatures, despite their intense opposition.

Yet the White Emperor Sect found itself in a tougher spot. A brief lapse in vigilance allowed several cultivators to get ambushed, though the elite ones fared better by swiftly activating their ’Space Acceptance Talisman’ to escape their positions.

The rest of the regular cultivators could merely collapse in agony, their fates hanging in the balance.

Forced into action, the White Emperor Sect's cultivators deployed Mountain Peak Type Magical Treasures, disregarding the corrupting taint from the Hell Creatures on these artifacts, as massive summits slammed down to halt the invaders piercing their barriers.

The duo of Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect rushed to stabilize the chaos, but right then, a handful of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings appeared to seize the moment, surging forward while the Great Cultivators diverted their attention.

These select Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings barreled into the White Emperor Sect's lines, unleashing a brutal slaughter upon their cultivators.

Yet another Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect summoned his Mountain Peak Treasure, yet it failed to halt the rampage wrought by the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings.

By the point when the remaining two Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect arrived to reinforce, more than thirty of their cultivators had already perished.

The trio of Great Cultivators unleashed their full power in a desperate surge, scarcely curbing the killing spree of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings, though they knew such intense effort wouldn't hold for long.

They yearned for aid from allied superpower squads, but the other major forces were equally besieged by their own crises.

On this occasion, the sheer volume of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings within the Hell Creatures horde kept nearly every Great Cultivator occupied, blocking any mutual support.

Exclusively the squads close to Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion gained backup from the Pavilion's pair of Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators.

Among the Sword Cultivators, a single Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator remained, joined by Li Yuanba, whose prowess rivaled that of a Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator, guaranteeing they could tackle any emerging threats.

For the Yuqing Sect, Master Wang He drove back the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings targeting their squad, sparing just two of them in the fray.

He then turned to rescue the endangered White Emperor Sect, persisting in bolstering the other major factions.

After the turmoil subsided, every group except Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion endured losses of differing severity.

"We must gather our strengths together; fighting in this scattered setup is no longer viable!" urged a Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect.

His gaze fell upon his fallen comrades, his chest tightening with grief.

In mere moments, forty-three cultivators had been claimed, excluding the pair of core ones who escaped back to Hell Island via ’Space Acceptance Talisman’.

"You're right; enduring a few more such barrages from the Hell creatures would rack up devastating casualties!" agreed yet another Great Cultivator.

All the Great Cultivators turned their eyes to Master Wang He, the designated leader, seeking his guidance amid the crisis.

"Shift to the Four-direction Formation!" Master Wang He declared gravely, recognizing the unsustainable path they tread.

The Four-direction Formation shaped a sturdy square, assembling over five thousand Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners plus more than fifty Great Cultivators into a compact square, splitting the perimeter and interior forces into three shifts that cycled through the vanguard.

At the same time, the two inner shifts of cultivators could strike back securely and with maximum vigor.

Crucially, the over fifty Great Cultivators clustered centrally, merging their strengths to unleash amplified destructive force.

Master Wang He took point at the head of the Four-direction Formation, flanked by Great Cultivators on either side.

As this Four-direction Formation pressed onward, even hordes of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings would fall swiftly to the onslaught from dozens of Great Cultivators.

Admittedly, adopting the Four-direction Formation markedly reduced the pace of purging Hell Creatures, since fewer foes faced assault at once, yet it vastly enhanced their defensive solidity.

"Li Yuanba, take up that spot!" Master Wang He instructed via the Great Cultivators' communication channel following some time in combat.

He indicated a location at the left flank of the Four-direction Formation, which ranked among the most vulnerable points outside the core and right flank.

"Mr. Wang, that's breaking protocol. Yuan Ba is merely a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner; you lack the authority to command Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion directly!" Great Cultivator Lou protested at once.

"Mr. Lou, true, that's the established rule, but everyone recognizes Li Yuanba's extraordinary battle prowess. His Sword Intent proves devastatingly effective against the Hell creatures, often more so than many Great Cultivators present. I’m convinced he fits that role perfectly, and I suspect the rest of you agree!" As Master Wang He voiced this, his gaze passed over the assembled Great Cultivators.

Through months of relentless warfare, he had forged substantial respect among the Great Cultivators.

His proposal made perfect sense, and Li Yuanba truly excelled for the left flank assignment.

"Yes, placing Mr. Li there works well; we're all close by, ready to step in at any sign of trouble!" affirmed a Great Cultivator.
