Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1407 - 750: Beheading

A growing sense of unease washed over Master Ge Guang as he continued his pursuit of Li Yuanba.

The boundary of the 'Infinite Great Isolation Decree' was relatively small, and the oppressive aura radiating from a Great Cultivator like himself should have been sufficient to blanket the entire region.

Even in the fringes where his pressure was at its weakest, it remained potent enough to severely cripple the fighting capabilities of any Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner.

In spite of this, Li Yuanba showed no indications of being hindered as he fled before him.

Master Ge Guang noted with particular concern that even when Li Yuanba was less than a kilometer away—well within the most intense zone of his Great Cultivator pressure—the younger man remained composed, utilizing 'Space Movement' to dodge with ease.

Realizing this, Master Ge Guang halted his pursuit, deciding to end the playful cat-and-mouse game.

A top-tier fourth-grade flying sword manifested with a flick of his wrist, hovering in mid-air as his Divine Sense began to zero in on Li Yuanba's position.

Seeing that Master Ge Guang was finally taking the fight seriously, Li Yuanba ceased his experiments with 'Chaos Sword Intent,' which he had been using to gauge the Great Cultivator's pressure.

Just as Master Ge Guang's Divine Sense was about to lock onto him, he executed another 'Space Movement' to slip away.

He was well aware that his mastery of 'Space Movement' lacked the fluid, seamless perfection that the original Li Shiming possessed.

He had only a single window to break the Divine Sense lock; the moment he emerged from the spatial shift, Master Ge Guang would inevitably track him down again.

However, Li Yuanba moved with superior speed, triggering the full power of the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' simultaneously with his 'Space Movement.'

The 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak,' a true Spiritual treasure, radiated a formidable aura as its twin force fields—'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' and gravity—expanded to cover a half-meter radius.

When he reappeared, he was standing exactly five hundred meters away from Master Ge Guang.

Master Ge Guang's expression shifted to one of pure shock as he felt his Lifebound Flying Sword suddenly turn sluggish.

"You have actually mastered the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Skill!" he exclaimed in a low voice, his shock momentarily stalling his offensive.

He found it hard to believe; how could a Sword Cultivator with a Gold Talent like Li Yuanba possibly command the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Skill?

"No, it is that Spiritual treasure. The 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' is being projected by that treasure!" He corrected his judgment almost instantly.

Greed flared in his eyes as he stared at the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' floating above Li Yuanba. This was a genuine Spiritual treasure, an item so rare that even the strongest experts of the Infinite Sect usually possessed only one.

Furthermore, a Spiritual treasure capable of wielding the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Skill was a natural counter to any cultivator relying on gold-attribute magical treasures.

Since the majority of magical treasures in the Cultivation World incorporated gold-based materials, most would be vulnerable to the effects of 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism.'

"Hahaha!" Master Ge Guang let out a booming laugh.

He was unconcerned that his Lifebound Flying Sword was being hindered by the Divine Power Field. Had Li Yuanba been a Great Cultivator, such a field might have posed a serious threat to his sword.

But since Li Yuanba was merely at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the potency of the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' field produced by the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' remained limited.

By channeling more Spiritual Power and Sword Intent, Master Ge Guang felt he could easily overcome the sluggishness of his Lifebound Flying Sword.

"Is this your final trump card? You are far too weak. Even with a Spiritual treasure in hand, you remain a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner. To believe you can defy a Great Cultivator with a single treasure is nothing short of naive!" Master Ge Guang remarked, his mood lifting as he envisioned the Spiritual treasure soon becoming his own.

"Suppress!" Li Yuanba shouted with a faint smirk, pointing directly at Master Ge Guang.

Deep within the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak,' the power of the 'Gravity Gold Brick' surged into the treasure's formations, instantly amplifying the energy of the gravity field several times over.

Master Ge Guang's laughter was cut short as a massive weight suddenly slammed into his body. Despite his status as a Great Cultivator, the lack of preparation nearly caused him to be crushed under the pressure.

While he managed to stay upright, the intense gravity severely hampered his speed and movements.

He moved quickly to circulate the energy in his Nascent Soul to resist the crushing gravity, realizing that he no longer had the focus required to strike at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba seized the opening immediately. With a wave of his hand toward the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' above him, he launched his counterattack.

More than two thousand flying swords, formed from pure energy, erupted from the peak and swarmed toward Master Ge Guang.

Master Ge Guang sensed the approaching cloud of swords but remained largely unimpressed due to their sheer quantity.

As a seasoned Sword Cultivator, he was intimately familiar with techniques that utilized massive numbers of blades.

Many Sword Cultivator traditions taught methods like 'Ten Thousand Swords as One,' which used flying swords to create flashes of sword light. In reality, such attacks were often just thousands of faint strands of energy.

Techniques like these were rarely effective against opponents of the same rank and were typically reserved for slaughtering large groups of weaker cultivators.

He focused his efforts on escaping the gravity field, knowing that remaining trapped would leave him open to constant harassment.

However, when the first of the two thousand energy swords struck him, his entire frame shuddered.

"This is Great Cultivator Sword Intent!" He was struck with horror upon discovering that the energy-based sword contained the intent of a Great Cultivator.

Because the attack lacked the direct guidance of a Great Cultivator, the power of the intent was only at the threshold of such a rank, meaning it was not yet a fatal threat to him.
