Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Leng Luo Great Power insists on quickly resolving the Yuqing Sect's troubles, despite Luo Yuan Great Power's warnings that his impulsive actions have made the sect enemies with the entire Cultivation World and jeopardized its future. Believing the opposing forces are merely clowns, Leng Luo Great Power resolves to attack the White Emperor Sect again to assert Yuqing Sect's dominance and prevent the loss of their vital information network. He breaks into White Emperor Sect's territory, confronting Great Power Xuan Yi's avatar.

Only, this time the Great Power Avatar he saw was much more transparent than the last time they met.

Even the aura of the Great Power Avatar had grown weak; Great Power Leng Luo felt that with just a wave of his hand, casually sending out a bolt of lightning, he could cut down this Great Power Avatar.

Even for a Great Power, creating an avatar required paying the price of soul-splitting.

"So you really are a coward!" Great Power Leng Luo said with a cold laugh.

He did not see Great Power Xuan Yi’s true body; most likely the other’s true body was still hiding inside the Inheritance Cave Heaven.

He had no intention of killing Great Power Xuan Yi’s true body—that was not realistic. The Inheritance Cave Heaven might have many shortcomings, but its self-preservation ability was extremely strong, especially under the control of an Inheritor Great Ability.

This time his mission target was the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate; as long as he destroyed the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate, the Inheritance Cave Heaven bound to the gate would be trapped to death beside the ruined mountain gate.

"Xuan Yi, looks like you’ve decided to abandon the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate. At a time like this your true body still doesn’t dare come out!" Great Power Leng Luo mocked.

He wanted to provoke Great Power Xuan Yi’s true body into appearing; if he could actually kill Great Power Xuan Yi’s true body, the blow dealt to the White Emperor Sect would be even greater.

"Leng Luo, is your injury healed yet?" Great Power Xuan Yi’s avatar flung out a line that enraged Great Power Leng Luo.

"Xuan Yi, you’re courting death!" Great Power Leng Luo said through gritted teeth.

He stopped speaking; he took out the fifth-grade "Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer" and smashed it toward Great Power Xuan Yi’s avatar.

No one knew what method the White Emperor Sect had used, but the Sect Formation’s energy was unusually abundant.

The attack Great Power Leng Luo launched was only a Thunder Skill attack, not Cave Heaven Power.

The lightning he struck out was blocked by the defensive shield of the Sect Formation. Using the Sect Formation’s defensive shield right from the start let him see that Great Power Xuan Yi’s avatar was truly heavily damaged, likely with very little strength left.

He had no plans to show mercy; last time he had already found a way to deal with Great Power Xuan Yi’s avatar.

Great Power Leng Luo’s figure flickered and appeared right in front of Great Power Xuan Yi’s avatar, a cruel smile on his face.

He was about to destroy the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate, just like the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate. If he could kill Great Power Xuan Yi’s true body, he would seize the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate and make this the mountain gate where the Yuqing Sect nurtured its Disciples.

As for the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate, because of the intense radiation pollution, it would be unusable for at least a very long time.

The instant Great Power Leng Luo’s figure appeared, a terrifying might rose from his body.

This time, in his attack he used Cave Heaven Power, consuming many years of accumulated Cave Heaven energy to unleash the most fatal strike.

A large mass of lightning condensed in his hand; lightning carrying Rule Power was about to be released.

At that moment, Great Power Leng Luo suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a sensation that made his whole body tremble rising from deep within.

This was danger perception; he had simply never expected to feel danger at the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate.

Without thinking, he prepared to retreat.

The reason he did not enter his own Grotto Heaven was because once he entered, the object bearing the Grotto Heaven anchor would remain in place.

Only in a relatively safe place could one enter one’s own Grotto Heaven.

As Great Power Leng Luo retreated, he threw out the Thunder Energy in his hand, blocking it in front of him.

At the same time, a dozen or so attacks fired out from within the White Emperor Sect, all chasing after him.

Even as a Free Great Power, when he sensed a dozen-plus attacks, he felt his soul nearly fleeing his body.

Because what he sensed was that more than ten Great Power Avatars had launched attacks at the same time, all targeting him.

He couldn’t even imagine the consequences of being struck by over ten Great Power Avatars.

Don’t be fooled by the fact they were all Great Power Avatars; each Great Power Avatar could at least stack a Great Power’s full-strength strike.

In other words, a Great Power Avatar could fully unleash the power of the Great Power’s full-force attack in an instant.

The power of over ten Great Powers attacking at full strength was something he could not withstand, even as a Free Great Power.

As Great Power Leng Luo retreated, he discovered that at some unknown point the White Emperor Sect’s Sect Formation had expanded the Formation to his position, placing him within the Sect Formation’s sphere of control.

As he retreated, he was bound by the Sect Formation; the binding force of the Sect Formation did not count for much to him.

But at this critical moment, the Sect Formation’s restraints affected his speed. The impact on his speed was not great, but the consequences were extremely serious.

The dozen-plus attacks were a joint strike; Great Power Leng Luo could only hope that the Thunder Energy he had launched, enhanced with Cave Heaven Power, could hold off these terrifying attacks for a brief moment, giving him enough time to escape.

Yet the fastest of those dozen-plus attacks was a sword light, a sword light unleashed by the Sword Elder’s avatar.

A sword light infused with a terrifying Sword Intent tore straight through the Thunder Energy enhanced with Cave Heaven Power.

Thunder Energy was not good at defense to begin with; encountering Sword Intent sword light, which excelled at offense, the outcome went without saying.

Of course, the Thunder Energy enhanced with Cave Heaven Power that Great Power Leng Luo had released still had some effect; after the sword light from the Sword Elder’s avatar shredded the Thunder Energy, the energy remaining within the sword light was already not much.

The energy remaining in the sword light could no longer pose any real threat to him.

But it wasn’t only the Sword Intent sword light unleashed by the Sword Elder’s avatar attacking him; another dozen-plus attacks followed closely behind.

Great Power Leng Luo’s body was struck by several attacks; at that moment he activated his life-preserving item, a chance opportunity he had obtained on an adventure and also his greatest trump card.

A jade token containing spatial power, once activated, could teleport him over a great distance. He could not choose the specific destination, but he could choose the direction of teleportation.

In his haste he chose a direction; the jade token shattered, and a surge of spatial power wrapped around him.

This life-preserving item had been crafted by an ancient Great Power; its spatial power was of extremely high grade. Even with the White Emperor Sect’s Sect Formation restricting space, it still allowed Great Power Leng Luo to successfully use spatial power to teleport away.

Just as Great Power Leng Luo’s figure vanished, several attacks landed on the spot where his figure had disappeared.

"He actually managed to escape!" the Sword Elder’s voice rang out, clearly filled with unwillingness.

"Even if he escaped, after taking our six attacks, even if he doesn’t die, his cultivation will be greatly affected!" another Great Power Avatar said with full confidence.

"Let’s hope so; otherwise none of us will be able to withstand Leng Luo’s retaliation!" a Great Power Avatar said helplessly.

No one had expected that within the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate there would actually be a full fourteen Great Power Avatars. Together with the White Emperor Sect’s Great Power Xuan Yi, fifteen Great Powers had gathered here.

As for why they had gathered here, it was precisely for Great Power Leng Luo.

Great Power Leng Luo had broken the rules, especially his actions in attacking the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate, which made all the superpowers feel threatened.

Unlike the previous attack on the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate—back then, when the Yuqing Sect’s mountain gate was attacked, they had never been able to confirm who the culprit was, so the various superpowers could only remain vigilant and were unable to take substantive action.

This time was different; Great Power Leng Luo wanted to use the combat strength of a Free Great Power to attack the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate.

If he could attack the White Emperor Sect’s mountain gate today, would he attack other superpowers’ mountain gates in the future?

More importantly, Great Power Leng Luo had set an extremely bad precedent: as a Great Power, he directly intervened in sect conflicts with brute force.

When it came to someone breaking the rules of the Cultivation World, the many Great Powers naturally would not agree.

Great Power Leng Luo had also wiped out several large sects in succession, further inflaming the dissatisfaction of the Great Powers.

Under Great Power Xuan Yi’s vigorous mediation, the Great Powers joined forces comprehensively for the first time.

As Inheritor Great Ability, they naturally could not send their true bodies, so all who came were Great Power Avatars.

The concentrated strike of fourteen Great Power Avatars was intended to give no chance for a second attack.

Unfortunately, because the coordination among the fourteen Great Power Avatars was far from ideal and the battle strength they displayed was uneven, Great Power Leng Luo was given the chance to activate his life-preserving item.

Thus Great Power Leng Luo survived a situation that should have been certain death, though he definitely did not get away lightly.
