Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1479 - 786: Retribution

The Heavenly Compass carries tremendous significance for Li Yuanba, or more precisely for his real identity as Li Shiming, since it refines the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ and possesses the ability to concentrate it via radiation absorption.

From the details shared by the Artifact Spirit, Li Yuanba realizes that the ’Heavenly Compass’ holds the power to refine the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ to an even greater degree, surpassing simple generation.

The previous owner of the Hell Cave Heaven felt content with the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ and lacked any urge to refine it any more.

A sense of satisfaction washes over Li Yuanba; he realizes the ’Heavenly Compass’ resolves the core issue of sourcing materials for a nuclear detonation.

Naturally, despite possessing the ’Heavenly Compass’, refining the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ to the purity needed for weaponry will demand a substantial duration.

Furthermore, while he secured a notable quantity of ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ on this occasion, the IBMz15’s computations indicate that once refined to weapon-grade, it would suffice for no more than two nuclear blasts.

With a simple motion, he calls forth the ’Heavenly Compass’, which promptly reduces in size and soars into his grasp.

The ’Heavenly Compass’ manages to disregard radiation thanks to unique principles embedded by its mighty creator during forging, plus its status as a Spirit Treasure that offers robust defense against radiation, rendering it entirely immune.

Li Yuanba proceeds with utmost caution while storing away the ’Heavenly Compass’, remaining vigilant for any shifts inside the Hell Cave Heaven.

He worries that extracting the Cave Heaven Core could trigger the downfall of the already precarious Hell Cave Heaven.

Thankfully, no surprises arise, and the ’Heavenly Compass’ gets secured without incident.

He mends the terrain and pivots to soar toward the spatial tear.

"I am Li Yuanba. Moments ago, three Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect assaulted me. Kindly witness the clash between the White Emperor Sect and me!" Li Yuanba declares through the Great Cultivator communication link as he nears the spatial rift.

"White Emperor Sect, you’re courting death!" Before another Great Cultivator utters a word, Great Cultivator Lou roars in fury.

In that instant, the three hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, backed by three Great Sword Cultivators, unleash their Sword Intent, zeroing in on the White Emperor Sect’s group.

The three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect had barely made it back and failed to alert their Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.

Caught off guard by the Sword Intent from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s forces, the White Emperor Sect’s members descend into chaos—one faction fully ready, the other utterly unprepared.

"Strike!" As fellow Great Cultivators ponder ways to broker peace, Great Cultivator Lou issues the order.

On this occasion, distinct from the prior clash with Hell beasts, each Sword Cultivator deploys their Lifebound Flying Sword, infused with varied Sword Intents brimming with unfathomable power, all slicing toward the White Emperor Sect’s forces.

The Lifebound Flying Swords wielded by the three Great Sword Cultivators lock onto the three Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect, hindering their ability to shield allies and compelling them to invoke Mountain Peak Treasures for protection.

A frenzied skirmish ignites without delay, revealing to everyone the ruthless efficiency of the Sword Cultivators.

Master Wang He creases his brow yet remains silent, bound by a peace pact with Li Yuanba that bars him from acting against Li Yuanba inside the Hell Cave Heaven.

Regarding the White Emperor Sect’s peril, it stirs no worry in him.

The White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect stand as rival titans on the West Yan Continent, locked in endless rivalry—now, after Yuqing Sect’s loss of two Great Cultivators, the White Emperor Sect must suffer similar setbacks to preserve equilibrium.

Such a spiteful notion lingers in Master Wang He’s thoughts, and by staying out of it, this outcome seems all but assured.

Since the White Emperor Sect deployed no Great Cultivator skilled in ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skills, and the Hell Cave Heaven fray didn’t call for them, the White Emperor Sect finds itself without the prime defense versus Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s onslaughts.

Long-standing animosities between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect fuel the Sword Cultivators’ zeal to hammer the White Emperor Sect’s members at every chance.

"Lou, what are you planning?" A Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect shouts in distress.

"Planning? If your faction can strike first, why can’t Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion retaliate in kind?" Great Cultivator Lou fires back while ramping up the assault.

Noting Master Wang He’s inaction and heeding Li Yuanba’s prior warning via the Great Cultivator channel, the other mighty factions see no cause or will to step in.

Right from the start, the White Emperor Sect endures heavy losses, with scores of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators left gravely wounded.

On the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s front, the White Emperor Sect’s ripostes likewise wound more than a dozen Sword Cultivators.

Yet the wounds differ vastly in impact—the injured Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators from the White Emperor Sect can no longer battle, forever vulnerable to lethal stray blows from the fray.

Each fighter in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion benefits from Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill; when struck, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Power Energy inside them instinctively mends the damage.

As the showdown between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and White Emperor Sect stretches out, their fighting prowess shifts dramatically with the passing moments.
