Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1481 - 787: Resolution

Li Yuanba's fury burned without an outlet, so he directed his stare toward the cultivators of the White Emperor Sect who stood close by.

Maybe the three Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, given their exalted position, felt too superior to strike down the already beaten Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect, yet Li Yuanba lacked any such reservations.

Grasping the Xingyi Sword firmly, he launched strikes against the White Emperor Sect cultivators.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the White Emperor Sect fell into total chaos; their hoped-for salvation crumbled when one Great Cultivator got killed, while the other two bolted away.

"What should we do?" That desperate question raced through the minds of every Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner in the White Emperor Sect.

Naturally, a handful stood apart from that panic, specifically the core cultivators.

They all triggered their 'Space Acceptance Talismans' at once, vanishing from the Hell Cave Heaven in an instant.

Right as they blinked out of sight, the Xingyi Sword's assault crashed down.

What defined a truly catastrophic blow? Li Yuanba's Xingyi Sword delivered exactly that—a blow of utter destruction.

To every cultivator watching, Li Yuanba operated far beyond the level of typical Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners or even core cultivators, despite sharing the same Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm.

His history included multiple kills of Great Cultivators and Late Stage Fourth Grade entities, earning him a reputation matching the might of a Great Cultivator.

These days, few cultivators bothered discussing the supposed pinnacle of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, since he defied the very notion of fitting into that realm.

The Xingyi Sword, empowered by 'Chaos Sword Intent', ripped through the protective barrier formed by the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect, then plunged inside.

Shrieks rang out endlessly the instant the Xingyi Sword broke past the defense array of the White Emperor Sect's Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, sparking a brutal slaughter.

These Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners lacked 'Space Acceptance Talismans', which got reserved solely for core cultivators and Great Cultivators.

On top of that, three hundred sword cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion hemmed them in, leaving no path for flight even if they tried.

Li Yuanba's Xingyi Sword acted like the reaper's blade, harvesting the lives of White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners; once the 'Chaos Sword Intent' invaded, it wiped out their bodies and nascent souls in a flash.

"Run!" After cutting down dozens of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, the survivors among the White Emperor Sect's Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners broke down, letting out piercing wails.

Amid those cries, these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners resorted to their sole remaining way out—Nascent Soul Emergence.

One after another, the nascent souls burst free from their flesh, scattering in every direction.

Even Li Yuanba felt taken aback by the swift choice these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners made; perhaps it stemmed not from boldness, but from sheer horror in the midst of the carnage that drove them to ditch their bodies via nascent soul emergence.

The nascent soul's velocity proved incredibly swift, and with full escape arts unleashed, it outpaced the norm by several folds.

Thus, during Li Yuanba's brief pause, numerous nascent souls slipped away from the fight.

A few nascent souls fell to the flying swords of pursuing sword cultivators on the way out, but scarce were the blades able to rival a nascent soul's aerial speed, so plenty managed to break free.

Li Yuanba's wrath still simmered; though many nascent souls had gotten away, certain Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect faltered for a single breath while emerging their nascent souls.

In that instant, those nascent souls had just materialized and failed to flee yet.

A torrent of flying sand erupted across the battlefield, enveloping a zone centered on Li Yuanba with a thousand-meter span.

All the nascent souls that hadn't escaped got trapped within the flying sand.

"So ruthless!" The Great Cultivators who watched could not hold back their gasps.

They identified the source of the flying sand; it hailed from a supreme technique of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the 'Sanmei Divine Wind'.

The 'Sanmei Divine Wind' ranked among the rare supreme techniques capable of hunting nascent souls. Inside its domain, nascent souls found no way to flee, merely eroding bit by bit under its assault.

The clash ended, and the sword cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion swiftly handled the aftermath; mustard seed rings piled up collectively, while intact corpses got gathered.

Given that Li Yuanba handled most of the work, the team set aside his share of the gains after sorting everything.

"Junior Master Lou, this goes to you—I'll claim the body!" Li Yuanba approached the fallen Great Cultivator of the White Emperor Sect, pulled the soul crystal ring from it, and flung it over to Great Cultivator Lou without a glance, declaring.

"What you took down belongs to you; I have no need for such items!" To his surprise, Great Cultivator Lou flung it right back with ease, replying.

Li Yuanba gave a shake of his head, holding his tongue; truly, neither he nor Great Cultivator Lou placed much value on a soul crystal ring from a White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

He intended to inspect the spiritual treasures within the soul crystal ring and make amends to Great Cultivator Lou afterward.

Regarding the shares from the slain Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator, he took them without protest. The customs for dividing war gains formed an unspoken code; unless with a truly intimate fellow cultivator, one ought not to upend it.

His bond with Great Cultivator Lou, forged through years of dealings and tied by Lou Wu, ran deep indeed, allowing them to treat battle spoils with informality.

Something crossed Li Yuanba's mind, prompting him to link mentally with Great Venerable Hongfa.

From Great Venerable Hongfa, he discovered that the two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators, upon exiting the 'Space Acceptance Array', had promptly departed Hell Island and vanished completely.

He had worried initially that those two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators might assault Great Venerable Hongfa or wreck the 'Space Acceptance Array'.
