Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1429 - 761: Joining the Battle
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
Li Yuanba was well aware of the capabilities possessed by these five mid-stage Golden Corpses; their velocity, raw power, and resilience far exceeded those of standard Golden Corpses by several times.
As the conflict ignited, observers could see a mid-stage Golden Corpse strike out, launching a Hell Creature backward through the air.
A terrifying aura of death accompanied the blow, surging into the Hell Creature’s frame, yet the result was not what Li Yuanba had anticipated.
The impact of such brute force merely fractured the Hell Creature’s skeletal structure at best.
These denizens of Hell possessed such extreme physical tenacity that even with shattered bones, they continued to move. They appeared oblivious to pain, maintaining their assault unless they were annihilated instantly.
The performance of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses was spectacular to behold as they repeatedly sent Hell Creatures flying, yet the overall effectiveness remained less than perfect.
"These Hell monsters possess a profound resistance to dark energy, which significantly nullifies the impact of the Corpses’ strikes!" To Li Yuanba's astonishment, it was Hongguang Venerable who stepped forward to provide this insight.
Li Yuanba also observed that the Hell Creatures were inherently malevolent beings. Their internal energy carried a wicked aura coupled with a dreadfully potent radiation.
Fortunately, the martial prowess of the five mid-stage Golden Corpses was immense. Even though their offensive efficiency was hampered, they successfully obstructed the progress of the swarming Hell Creatures.
Within a passage ten meters wide, the five mid-stage Golden Corpses formed a wall, repelling any Hell Creature that dared to draw near.
As these monsters were knocked back, their airborne bodies collided with and hindered the many others following behind them.
The reason Hongguang Venerable took the initiative to speak with Li Yuanba was the significant impact the youth's arrival had made on the battlefield.
Despite the immense power held by himself and Master Wu Ge, they lacked an efficient method to handle these nearly infinite waves of Hell Creatures.
It was impossible for them to maintain high-intensity attacks forever; they needed to be at peak condition for when the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings eventually emerged from the Hell Cave Heaven.
Their specific duty was to intercept those Fourth Grade Late Stage threats.
The capacity for ruin possessed by a single Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being far surpassed that of a hundred mid-stage variants.
"All Cultivators, unleash area-of-effect spells! Do everything in your power to wound these abominations!" Master Wu Ge ordered with a resonant voice.
The criminal Cultivators, stationed behind individual defensive arrays on the front lines, immediately halted their planned strikes and shifted to range-based spells upon hearing the command.
They had desired to use such spells previously but lacked the chance.
Range spells necessitated a longer incantation period, and given the Hell Creatures' agility, such spells rarely dealt significant damage in open combat.
The situation had shifted, however; with the five mid-stage Golden Corpses holding the line, the Hell Creatures were trapped within the corridor.
As more monsters poured out from the Hell Cave Heaven, the ten-meter-wide space before the Golden Corpses became increasingly congested.
This congestion placed heavy pressure on the five mid-stage Golden Corpses, forcing them to accelerate their strikes to keep the encroaching horde at bay.
With the direct threat neutralized by the frontline, the criminal Cultivators had plenty of time to concentrate on their incantations, launching one range spell after another.
While the damage from a single spell was modest, the combined might of nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners was overwhelming. This barrage of magic nearly liquidated every creature standing before the five mid-stage Golden Corpses.
This outcome was far superior to anything achieved in their previous two-hour skirmishes, granting the criminal Cultivators a sense of relief.
Their survival was guaranteed so long as this defensive line remained unbroken.
Li Yuanba paid little mind to the overall victory; instead, he focused on monitoring the state of his mid-stage Golden Corpses.
Even though the corpses moved with great speed, the sheer density of the horde meant that while melee attackers rarely landed a hit, the Hell Sheep Head Creatures in the rear managed to strike them several times with orbs of black energy.
Upon inspecting their condition, he let out a sigh of relief.
Just as the death aura of the Golden Corpses failed to harm the Hell Creatures, the evil energy utilized by the monsters was similarly ineffective against the corpses.
Furthermore, because the defense of these mid-stage Golden Corpses was vastly superior to that of ordinary ones—and Golden Corpses were already famed for their durability—the strikes they took caused no real damage.
The only lingering issue was the radiation within that evil energy, which began to contaminate the mid-stage Golden Corpses.
He did not pull them back despite the radiation; he was representing Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, and every kill contributed to the Sect's prestige.
Even if these five mid-stage Golden Corpses were destroyed, he wouldn't mind. Provided he had enough Cultivation resources for corpse refining, he could always produce more.
Li Yuanba then joined the fray, aiming his attacks at the Hell Sheep Head Creatures lurking behind the front lines.
The velocity of his restrained Xingyi Sword remained breathtakingly fast.
