Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1480 - 786: Revenge (Part 2)

Though Sword Cultivators possess formidable battle strength, the White Emperor Sect remains a dominant force. Their Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners hold considerable power, far from being effortlessly overcome.

As the clash continues, White Emperor Sect cultivators steadily dwindle in count, yet Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's forces show no signs of reduction. The White Emperor Sect grows frailer with each exchange, while Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion surges in might during the fight. The scales of victory lean ever more decisively toward Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Fallen White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners litter the ground in rising numbers. It becomes evident to all that the White Emperor Sect endures a heavy setback this round.

Skilled in fortification as the White Emperor Sect is, they soon detected the unfavorable shift and opted for a protective stance, holding out for aid from their Great Cultivator.

Mountain Peak Treasures emerged one after another, erecting barrier peaks that repelled the incoming flying swords from the Sword Cultivators. Temporarily, they withstood the relentless assaults of the Sword Cultivators.

Yet such shielding demands immense resources, and the endurance of a Mountain Peak Treasure carries boundaries—once surpassed, the barrier shatters.

White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners clung to hopes of rescue from their Great Cultivator, but those mighty figures found themselves too occupied to intervene. Three Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect faced suppression by three Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, already falling behind.

Great Cultivator Lou poured more intensity into his Lifebound Flying Sword, striving to pierce the rival Great Cultivator's guard.

Still, defense stands as the White Emperor Sect's forte, with a Great Cultivator's protective might proving even more formidable.

Leveraging the Mountain Peak Treasure's potency, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator raised a barrier before himself, halting every strike from Great Cultivator Lou's flying sword.

From time to time, he unleashed a Falling Stone Technique toward Great Cultivator Lou. Though it missed its mark, it compelled Great Cultivator Lou to evade, granting the defender a brief respite.

Anger twisted Great Cultivator Lou's features, though a subtle grin tugged at his lips.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!" he bellowed, channeling his utmost strength in this assault.

Infused with Flame Sword Intent, the Lifebound Flying Sword hurtled savagely at the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. Sensing the strike's ferocity, the defender concentrated the bulk of his safeguards ahead.

In that instant, a distant sword gleam closed in—it stemmed from a Sword Escape maneuver.

Its velocity, launching from the spectator lines, brought it nearly instantaneously into striking distance of the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

Outpacing even that silhouette came a Lifebound Flying Sword brimming with dread-inducing Sword Intent that stirred unease in onlookers' hearts.

The White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator perceived the peril, yet the assailant arrived with blinding speed. When he sought to bolster his defenses, the moment had already slipped away.

Much of his focus went toward countering Great Cultivator Lou's maximum onslaught, rendering his back unguarded and opening a vulnerability to the incoming intruder.

The arrival was Li Yuanba. Nearing the spatial rift, he found the forces of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and White Emperor Sect locked in fierce combat.

Some cultivators spotted him, but none moved to intercept. Not even the present Great Cultivators alerted the White Emperor Sect to Li Yuanba's approach.

Assaulting Li Yuanba earlier had ignited his fury, disrupting schemes and promising future complications.

Li Yuanba earned widespread acclaim as a prodigy destined for Great Cultivator status, his current prowess matching typical Great Cultivators.

Without dire need, no Great Cultivator wished to antagonize such a talented figure.

Besides, every Great Cultivator there harbored a debt to Li Yuanba. Absent his 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill's aid, numerous among them would have sustained wounds in the extended strife against Hell Creatures.

Li Yuanba signaled Great Cultivator Lou, who synced his efforts to enable the ambush on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

A blade laced with 'Chaos Sword Intent,' this blow carried vast destructive force built up over extended preparation. In peak defensive form, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator might have repelled it.

But with defenses mostly diverted to withstand Great Cultivator Lou's barrage, scant protection lingered to fend off the Xingyi Sword's 'Chaos Sword Intent.'

The Xingyi Sword pierced the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator's rear, and amid ripping noises, his safeguards crumbled.

Following the initial hit, the Xingyi Sword delivered a second to the Great Cultivator's back, locking his form rigid. The intricate ruinous traits of 'Chaos Sword Intent' ravaged his physique and Nascent Soul alike.

He strained to summon his spiritual power, fighting to counter the devastation, yet the task proved daunting.

'Chaos Sword Intent' rampaged with unstoppable fury, shredding the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator's body and Nascent Soul. His mouth gaped in a desperate bid to summon aid from allies, but no sound emerged.

Great Cultivator Lou's Lifebound Flying Sword, meeting no opposition, refrained from further pursuit against the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. He deemed it pointless.

Great Cultivator Lou grasped the horror of Li Yuanba's Sword Intent and its ruinous potential, so he held back, certain of the inevitable end.

Among the watching cultivators, scarce Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners witnessed the 'Chaos Sword Intent's' dominance, but every Great Cultivator acknowledged its overwhelming might.

They beheld Li Yuanba's terrifying capability plainly. Even a defensively proficient White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, once his barriers fell, stood helpless, his Nascent Soul unable to flee.

To them, it was obvious that should their own artifacts breach a White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator's protections, they might not yield Li Yuanba's decisive impact.

A Great Cultivator could potentially overpower the enemy, but landing a lethal wound remained unlikely without a flawless kill shot that barred any recourse to survival tools.

Activating those tools often requires just a single breath, and a Great Cultivator, drawing on bodily resilience, can typically last that instant upon detecting mortal peril.

However, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator clearly lacked even that sliver to trigger his life-saving artifact, as Li Yuanba's Sword Intent immobilized both flesh and Nascent Soul entirely.

Master Wang He's gaze wavered; a touch of remorse stirred within him.

Li Yuanba represented a serious menace. At present, with Li Yuanba at Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Master Wang He could confidently overpower him using his Great Cultivator Peak level.

Should Li Yuanba ascend to Great Cultivator, however, containment would turn far more arduous.

The Sword Intent from Li Yuanba alone instilled a sense of hazard in Master Wang He.

Upon returning to the Yuqing Sect, he intended to devise countermeasures targeting Li Yuanba.

In the Hell Cave Heaven, he refrained from breaching their agreement by moving against Li Yuanba. An additional factor deterred him from challenging Li Yuanba or Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion within the Hell Cave Heaven.

With this in mind, Master Wang He observed the ebbing vitality of the vanquished White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, mockery gleaming in his eyes.

"Truly courting death!" he mused inwardly.

Even without Li Yuanba's fatal strike on this White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, given the offender's actions, the conclusion would probably mirror this upon that person's arrival.

He knew that figure's disposition offered no leniency, particularly in disputes.

Having felled one White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, Li Yuanba geared up to target the other two, only for them to abruptly invoke their 'Space Acceptance Talismans.'

To Li Yuanba's stunned gaze, the pair of White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators disappeared, leaving him wide-eyed in astonishment.

A silent frustration gripped Li Yuanba; these two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators had fled using his very own 'Space Acceptance Talisman.'

Thankfully, the 'Innate Wood' Divine Skill on the fallen White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator had been amplified by him. Post the Xingyi Sword's impact, its restorative essence failed to mend the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator; else, ending him could have proven difficult.
