Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1408 - 750: Slaying (Part 2)

"It’s impossible for over two thousand flying swords to all carry the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator!" His greatest fear was that every subsequent strike would possess the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator, yet he refused to believe such a thing was possible.

Such a feat was fundamentally inconceivable; even within the most powerful organizations like the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion of the Sword Cultivator sects, the number of Great Cultivators was strictly limited.

To produce over two thousand flying swords imbued with the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator would take many years of refinement, even if every Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator in the entire Cultivation World collaborated on the task.

However, Master Ge Guang soon realized the gravity of his mistake. Before him stood a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator who had actually deployed more than two thousand flying swords, each containing the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator.

Initially, a single strike from an energy flying sword carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator caused negligible damage to Master Ge Guang.

Yet, as the strikes began to accumulate, their destructive power compounded at an exponential rate.

By the time one hundred energy-converted flying swords carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator slammed into Master Ge Guang, his defensive barriers began to fracture.

When the count reached two hundred flying swords carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator, his defensive artifact was completely shattered.

Trapped within the Gravity Field, his movements were rendered agonizingly slow. Escaping through speed was no longer an option; he was forced to stand his ground and endure an apparently endless barrage of energy-converted flying swords.

As three hundred energy-converted flying swords carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator tore into Master Ge Guang’s physical form, his final defensive spell collapsed, leaving his body severely mangled.

At that moment, his Nascent Soul manifested in a desperate bid to flee. However, within the boundaries of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree,’ the air was suddenly choked with gold element sand.

Positioned at the heart of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree,’ Li Yuanba triggered his ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ divine skill.

Having already revealed the Spirit Treasure grade of the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ he had no intention of allowing Master Ge Guang to survive; not even the man's Nascent Soul would be permitted to escape.

The moment Master Ge Guang’s Nascent Soul appeared, it was subjected to three distinct layers of suppression.

The first layer was the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Power Field. As a Gold Element Great Cultivator, his Nascent Soul’s energy consisted of pure gold element spiritual power, making it highly susceptible to the 'Invisible Primordial Magnetism' Divine Power Field.

The second layer was the Gravity Field. Although a Nascent Soul possesses almost no mass and usually ignores gravity, the field generated by the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ was unique. Enhanced by the ’Gravity Gold Brick,’ this Gravity Field successfully hindered the Nascent Soul’s movement.

The third and most lethal layer of the assault was the ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ divine skill.

Under normal circumstances, Master Ge Guang could have easily neutralized Li Yuanba’s ’Sanmei Divine Wind’ given the difference in their levels.

However, Li Yuanba was not targeting Master Ge Guang in his prime; he was hunting a vulnerable Nascent Soul.

Immediately upon emerging, Master Ge Guang’s Nascent Soul was swarmed by countless particles of ’Sanmei Divine Sand.’

Every grain of ’Sanmei Divine Sand’ bore the capacity to wither the soul and spirit, relentlessly eroding Master Ge Guang’s Nascent Soul.

Though the Nascent Soul tried to bolt, its external Divine Sense was consumed by the ’Sanmei Divine Wind,’ stripping away its ability to sense the surroundings or find a path to safety.

He was the one who had established the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ here, yet without locating the control core or the original setup position, even he was trapped within the boundaries of the isolated space.

Li Yuanba denied him any chance to strike at the spatial barriers of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree.’ Without the strength to force a breach, the only way out was to find the core.

"No!" Master Ge Guang screamed in pure desperation.

Having spent over a millennium in Cultivation, falling at the hands of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner who was barely a century old filled him with an unspeakable bitterness.

Standing within the isolated zone of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree,’ Li Yuanba sensed the destruction of the Nascent Soul through his ’Sanmei Divine Wind.’ Nevertheless, he maintained the skill for a while longer, wary of any hidden trump cards Master Ge Guang might possess.

Only after confirming Master Ge Guang’s absolute demise did he finally deactivate the ’Sanmei Divine Wind.’

Master Ge Guang’s lifeless body remained upright on the ground, refusing to fall even in death.

Li Yuanba extended his Divine Sense to sweep over the corpse and stored it away.

Simultaneously, his Divine Sense located a soul crystal ring and a top-tier fourth-grade flying sword at the spot where the Nascent Soul had vanished.

He let out a long breath. A direct confrontation with Master Ge Guang hadn't been his original intent, but the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ had forced a fight to the finish.

Ironically, the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ had also cut off Master Ge Guang’s own path of retreat.

Master Ge Guang likely assumed the decree would only serve him by preventing Li Yuanba’s escape, never imagining it would become the cage that trapped his own Nascent Soul.

Using his Divine Sense and ’Divine Eye Technique,’ Li Yuanba conducted a thorough search until he finally uncovered the hidden physical form of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree.’

The core of the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ was a compass, upon which he sensed the distinct aura of Rule Power.

With its previous master dead, the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ was now an ownerless object.

Li Yuanba performed a Master Recognition Technique, successfully claiming the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ for himself.

He commanded the device, causing the isolated space to dissolve, and he once again felt the natural flow of external Spiritual Energy.

Surveying the battlefield, he noted that Master Ge Guang had failed to land a single blow. Consequently, the kilometer-wide area only showed marks from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage attacks he had initiated.

However, because over three hundred of the two thousand swords carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator had actually hit the target, the scene was littered with the residual auras of over three hundred different Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators.

He shook his head, knowing that leaving such evidence could lead to complications if investigators arrived.

He suppressed the Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword’s aura to that of a standard fourth-grade top-tier flying sword. Then, he used the Xingyi Sword to slash through the battlefield repeatedly. His ’Chaos Sword Intent’ shifted into ’Void-breaking Sword Intent,’ tearing through the air and creating spatial cracks.

Soon, all other auras were erased, leaving behind only the characteristic ’Void-breaking Sword Intent’ associated with the Jian Family of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

With the cleanup finished, he headed toward the cave dwelling of his original target.

By now, the cave's defensive Formation was in ruins, unable to endure the collateral pressure from the two thousand swords carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator.

Li Yuanba realized he had underestimated the true potency of a Great Cultivator’s Sword Intent, particularly in live combat.

Before this fight, he thought each energy-converted sword carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator simply added its power to the total.

In reality, every strike carrying the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator amplified the effect of the previous ones.

As the first strike weakened the enemy’s defenses, the second became naturally more effective. Furthermore, the Sword Intent would linger on the victim, with each subsequent hit fusing together to create a destructive force far greater than the sum of its parts.

While reflecting on these combat insights, Li Yuanba entered the cave and found the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator he had been sent to kill.

His target’s eyes were wide with terror, but the body was devoid of life.

He initially suspected the Nascent Soul had fled, but given the ’Infinite Great Isolation Decree’ had covered the area, there was nowhere to go.

Upon inspecting the corpse, he realized the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator had literally died of fright, his Nascent Soul having collapsed and scattered within his own body.
