Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1473 - 783: Rift

The menace of the Yuqing Sect had eased off, particularly across the Hell Cave Heaven territory, leaving Li Yuanba free from concerns over strikes by the Yuqing Sect.

Because of this, he eased his vigilance, spreading a deep sense of relief through every part of his frame.

He drew on the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skills to mend the wounded cultivators and refreshed the 'Innate Wood' divine blessing for those core cultivators and Great Cultivators whose supply had depleted.

On this round, they paused for three full days, drawing back even the cultivators who had hurried off to Hell Island in haste.

Three days later, the cultivators reformed their ranks and surged ahead once again.

No Great Cultivator now dared to gauge their strength against Li Yuanba; the bitter experiences from before had drilled home the grim repercussions of such folly.

Li Yuanba simply unleashed the 'Chaos Sword Intent', holding a Fourth Grade Top Quality Xingyi Sword aloft over his head, where it endlessly shifted inside to unleash threads of sword light blasting at the oncoming Hell Creatures.

The 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' stayed hidden; it was his ultimate safeguard for survival, known only to the Sword Cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion for its devastating might.

Truthfully, in clashes of this magnitude, full effort from him wasn't required; his battle prowess remained sharply curtailed here.

He gazed toward the group's heart, where Great Cultivator Master Wang He wielded the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture' at heights beyond his grasp.

Viewing Master Wang He's fight from this near vantage brought scant advantage to his clone, yet it offered tremendous value to his main body, Li Shiming.

Witnessing the Thunder Cultivation Peak Master's combat like this was a spectacle rarely seen in normal times.

By examining Master Wang He's deployment of the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture', Li Shiming's true form could harvest deeper understandings amid his own training in the 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture'.

Li Shiming commanded numerous brains, bolstered by IBMz15's support, enabling him to pull back into isolated cultivation even as he probed revelations from 'Chaos Sword Intent' and 'Yuqing Thunder Scripture'.

Applying wisdom from prior errors, more than fifty Great Cultivators now cycled through the fighting, while the five thousand Mid-stage Nascent Soul Practitioners stepped up to fulfill their part.

Great Cultivators struck only against emerging Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings; at all other moments, Mid-stage Nascent Soul Practitioners fired off barrages of zone-wide spell strikes.

Though this fighting style dragged their pace a touch, it ramped up their lasting stamina.

By Li Yuanba's flank, he and Great Cultivator Lou alternated breaks, guarded by five Mid-stage Golden Corpses, freeing both from any dread of Hell Creatures closing in.

Even with the shifts in duty, the relentless march bred exhaustion in the cultivators as the conflict stretched longer.

"Take the Spirit Pill!" In a surprising turn, Master Wang He skipped granting rest to the cultivators and barked the command.

Replenishing vitality through the Spirit Pill posed no real challenge, though it couldn't hold up over extended periods.

Spirit Pills might revive energy several times, yet prolonged use demanded actual downtime—above all for the inner spiritual power, where pill-based restoration lagged far behind the gains from meditative recovery.

"I've picked up potent spatial ripples; some vital spot lies ahead!" Great Cultivator Lou uttered from his turn at respite, a trace of puzzlement in his far-off words.

Li Yuanba perceived it with even greater intensity, owing to his mastery of the 'Divine Foot Skill', which sharpened his response to spatial disturbances immensely.

These spatial ripples prickled his scalp, while the Divine Footwork Rune in his core even shivered ever so lightly.

Whereas the earlier Hell Cave Heaven space breakdown's ripples mimicked a grenade's burst, the ones looming forward rivaled a nuclear blast in force.

"This unease grips me—the spatial fluctuations pack too much punch!" Li Yuanba messaged in transmission.

"Keep sharp when it counts, and steer clear of getting too close!" Great Cultivator Lou mulled it over briefly before responding.

Coming to a halt wasn't viable now; pushing onward remained their only path.

Li Yuanba invoked the 'Divine Foot Skill' to scan the path ahead, but the rampant radiation energy warped the 'Divine Foot Skill's' views, leaving them hazy and indistinct.

Still, the spatial forces captured by the 'Divine Foot Skill' coalesced into snaking patterns across the emptiness, implying the region's space teetered on instability.

He shifted his gaze to Master Wang He, relying on the master's sharper instincts, for he stood nearest to the stature of a mighty overlord.

Master Wang He's features hardened into utmost gravity, brows clenched in a deep furrow, betraying the immense strain upon him.

No rival powers had dispatched their premier Great Cultivators; the Yuqing Sect alone had committed him, as their supreme asset in Hell Cave Heaven, thrusting heavier burdens his way.

At present, he directed the full assembly of cultivators, tasked with shielding their lives.

The spatial ripples in front stirred an profoundly otherworldly vibe within him; his seasoned judgment pinpointed the causes sparking such upheavals ahead.

However, such events shouldn't unfold inside a Cave Heaven; they might erupt in outer domains, but manifesting within a Cave Heaven struck as profoundly odd.

"All of you, a spatial rift could lurk ahead; remain on solid ground—no flying, no triggering 'Space Acceptance Talisman'—engage the fight rooted to the earth!" Master Wang He broadcasted via the Great Cultivator discussion channel.

"That's absurd—this is deep inside Hell Cave Heaven. No Cave Heaven has ever split with a spatial rift. Should one have formed to the outer realms, especially in this spot, swarms of Hell monsters would've fled ages ago, alerting us all!" A Great Cultivator fired back instantly at his declaration.
