Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1479 - 786: Retribution
Previously on Cultivation is just so scientific!...
The ’Heavenly Compass’ holds immense value for Li Yuanba, or rather his real identity, Li Shiming, since it refines the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ and has the ability to concentrate it through radiation absorption.
From the details shared by the Artifact Spirit, Li Yuanba learns that the ’Heavenly Compass’ possesses the capability to refine the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ even more thoroughly, going past mere creation.
The previous owner of the Hell Cave Heaven felt content with the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ and lacked any urge to refine it any further.
A sense of satisfaction washes over Li Yuanba; he realizes the ’Heavenly Compass’ solves the core issue of sourcing materials for triggering a nuclear blast.
Naturally, despite possessing the ’Heavenly Compass’, refining the ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ to the purity needed for weapons will demand a substantial amount of time.
Furthermore, while he managed to acquire a sizable quantity of ’Hell Disgust Crystal Essence’ on this occasion, the IBMz15’s computations indicate that once refined to weapon-grade, it would suffice for no more than two nuclear detonations.
With a simple motion, he calls forth the ’Heavenly Compass’, which promptly reduces in size and drifts right into his grasp.
The ’Heavenly Compass’ manages to disregard radiation thanks to unique rules embedded by its powerful creator during forging, plus its status as a Spirit Treasure grants it robust defenses against radiation, rendering it entirely immune.
Exercising utmost caution, Li Yuanba retrieves the ’Heavenly Compass’ while remaining vigilant for any shifts inside the Hell Cave Heaven.
He worries that extracting the Cave Heaven Core could cause the already precarious Hell Cave Heaven to crumble entirely.
Thankfully, no surprises arise, and the ’Heavenly Compass’ gets stored away without incident.
He smooths out the terrain and then soars off toward the spatial tear.
"I am Li Yuanba. Moments ago, three Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect launched an assault on me. Kindly witness the clash between the White Emperor Sect and me!" Li Yuanba declares through the Great Cultivator communication channel while nearing the spatial rift.
"White Emperor Sect, you’re asking for destruction!" Before fellow Great Cultivators can reply, Great Cultivator Lou roars in fury.
In that instant, the three hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, backed by three Great Sword Cultivators, unleash their Sword Intent, zeroing in on the White Emperor Sect’s group.
The three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect had barely made it back and hadn’t yet updated their Nascent Soul Middle Stage members.
Caught off guard by the Sword Intent from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s forces, the White Emperor Sect’s members descend into chaos—one faction ready to strike, the other totally unprepared.
"Attack!" As other Great Cultivators ponder ways to de-escalate, Great Cultivator Lou issues the order.
On this occasion, differing from the earlier fight against Hell beasts, each Sword Cultivator deploys their Lifebound Flying Sword, infused with varied Sword Intents brimming with overwhelming power, slicing toward the White Emperor Sect’s forces.
The Lifebound Flying Swords wielded by the three Great Sword Cultivators hone in on the White Emperor Sect’s three Great Cultivators, compelling them to defend themselves with Mountain Peak Treasures and leaving their comrades exposed.
A whirlwind of combat explodes without warning, highlighting the ruthless efficiency of the Sword Cultivators for everyone watching.
Master Wang He creases his brow yet remains silent, bound by a peace agreement with Li Yuanba that bars him from acting against Li Yuanba within the Hell Cave Heaven.
Regarding the White Emperor Sect’s well-being, that falls outside his responsibilities.
The White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect stand as rival superpowers across the West Yan Continent, locked in endless rivalry—especially now, after Yuqing Sect suffered the loss of two Great Cultivators, unless the White Emperor Sect takes heavy hits, the equilibrium of power will shatter.
Such a spiteful thought lingers in Master Wang He’s thoughts, and by staying out of it, this outcome seems all but inevitable.
Having failed to deploy any Great Cultivator skilled in ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ Divine Skills, and since the Hell Cave Heaven skirmish didn’t call for it, the White Emperor Sect finds itself without the prime defense against Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s onslaughts.
Long-standing animosities between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect fuel the Sword Cultivators’ zeal to hammer the White Emperor Sect’s members whenever the chance presents itself.
"Lou, what are you planning?" A Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect shouts in distress.
"Planning? If your faction can strike first, why can’t Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion retaliate in kind?" Great Cultivator Lou shoots back while ramping up the assault.
Noting Master Wang He’s refusal to step in and remembering Li Yuanba’s prior warning via the Great Cultivator communication channel, the major powers see no justification or inclination to get involved.
Right from the start, the White Emperor Sect endures heavy losses, with scores of Nascent Soul Middle Stage members suffering grave wounds.
The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s ranks, meanwhile, face counterstrikes from the White Emperor Sect that injure more than a dozen Sword Cultivators.
Yet the injuries differ vastly in impact—the afflicted Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the White Emperor Sect can no longer battle effectively, forever vulnerable to lethal blows from the fight’s ripples.
All members of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion benefit from Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill; when struck, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Power Energy inside them kicks in to heal the damage on its own.
As the showdown between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect stretches out, their fighting prowess shifts dramatically with each passing moment.
