Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1480 - 786: Revenge (Part 2)

While Sword Cultivators boast immense battle prowess, the White Emperor Sect stands as a mighty force too. Their Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts possess solid strength, far from being toppled with ease.

As the clash rages on, the ranks of White Emperor Sect cultivators keep thinning out, whereas those from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion show no signs of loss. The White Emperor Sect weakens progressively, and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion gains momentum in the fray. The scales of victory tip ever more in favor of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

Fallen Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the White Emperor Sect pile up steadily on the battlefield. It’s plain to all that the White Emperor Sect has taken a heavy blow this round.

Renowned for their defensive expertise, the White Emperor Sect soon sensed the dire shift and opted for a protective stance, holding out for aid from their Great Cultivator.

Mountain Peak Treasures emerged one after another, erecting sturdy barriers that halted the onslaught of flying swords from the Sword Cultivators. For the moment, they withstood the relentless assault by the Sword Cultivators.

Yet such shielding drains resources heavily, and the endurance of the Mountain Peak Treasure has its bounds—once surpassed, the barrier shatters.

The White Emperor Sect’s Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners clung to hope for rescue from their Great Cultivator, but those mighty figures were too occupied to intervene. Three Great Cultivators from the White Emperor Sect found themselves pinned down by three Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators, already falling behind.

Great Cultivator Lou ramped up the might of his Lifebound Flying Sword, striving to pierce the rival Great Cultivator’s safeguards.

Still, the White Emperor Sect excels in fortification, and a Great Cultivator’s defenses prove even more formidable.

Leveraging the power of the Mountain Peak Treasure, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator raised a massive barrier before himself, repelling every strike from Great Cultivator Lou’s flying sword.

From time to time, he unleashed a Falling Stone Technique toward Great Cultivator Lou. Though it missed its mark, it compelled Great Cultivator Lou to evade, granting the defender a brief respite.

Fury twisted Great Cultivator Lou’s features, yet a subtle grin lingered at the edge of his lips.

"Slash! Slash! Slash!" he bellowed, pouring all his strength into the assault this time.

Infused with Flame Sword Intent, the Lifebound Flying Sword hurtled toward the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator with ferocious intensity. Sensing the strike’s potency, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator concentrated the bulk of his protections forward.

In that instant, a distant sword gleam flashed— the glow of a Sword Escape technique.

Owing to its blinding velocity and origin from the spectator lines, it closed in on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator’s zone in a heartbeat.

Outpacing even this swift form was a Lifebound Flying Sword brimming with a chilling Sword Intent that sent shivers through onlookers’ souls.

The White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator detected the peril, but the assailant struck too swiftly. When he tried to bolster his guard, the moment had already slipped away.

With most of his focus countering Great Cultivator Lou’s maximum onslaught, his backline defenses grew frail, opening a gap for the incoming intruder.

The arrival was Li Yuanba. As he neared the spatial rift, the forces of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and White Emperor Sect had already plunged into combat.

Some cultivators spotted him en route, but none moved to intercept. Not even the Great Cultivators on site raised alarms about Li Yuanba’s comeback to the White Emperor Sect.

When Li Yuanba faced assault earlier, rage surged within him, throwing his schemes into disarray and brewing potential future chaos.

Li Yuanba earned widespread acclaim as a prodigy destined for Great Cultivator status, and even at present, his fighting ability rivals that of typical Great Cultivators.

Barring dire necessity, no Great Cultivator wished to antagonize a talent like him.

Furthermore, each Great Cultivator there was indebted to Li Yuanba. Absent his ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill’s aid, numerous Great Cultivators would have sustained wounds during the drawn-out struggle against the Hell Creatures.

Li Yuanba signaled Great Cultivator Lou, who synced his moves to enable Li Yuanba’s ambush on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator.

Empowered by ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ this blow carried vast destructive force, built up over extended preparation. Had the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator maintained total vigilance, he might have fended it off.

But with the majority of his barriers diverted to withstand Great Cultivator Lou’s charge, scant protection lingered to counter the Xingyi Sword’s ’Chaos Sword Intent.’

The Xingyi Sword slammed into the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator’s rear, and with a ripping sound, his protections crumbled.

Following the initial hit, the Xingyi Sword delivered a second to the Great Cultivator’s back, locking his form in rigidity. The intricate ruinous traits of ’Chaos Sword Intent’ ravaged both his physical form and Nascent Soul at once.

He strained to summon his spiritual power, fighting back against the devastation, yet the task proved immensely arduous.

’Chaos Sword Intent’ rampaged with unstoppable fury, shredding the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator’s flesh and Nascent Soul. His mouth gaped in a desperate bid to summon aid from allies, but no sound escaped.

Great Cultivator Lou’s Lifebound Flying Sword, facing no opposition, refrained from further assault on the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator. He deemed it pointless.

Great Cultivator Lou knew the dread potency of Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent; aware of its ruinous nature, he held back, certain the battle’s end was sealed.

Among the watching cultivators, only a handful of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners grasped the ’Chaos Sword Intent’s’ ferocity, but every Great Cultivator acknowledged its overwhelming might.

They witnessed Li Yuanba’s terrifying skill in stark clarity. A defense-specialized Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect, once his barriers fell, stood helpless, his Nascent Soul trapped without flight.

It became evident that even if their own artifacts breached the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator’s wards, they’d likely fall short of Li Yuanba’s devastating impact.

A Great Cultivator could potentially overcome the enemy, but landing a lethal wound remained unlikely without a decisive finisher that strips away any shot at using escape treasures.

Activating those treasures demands just a single breath, and a Great Cultivator, drawing on bodily resilience, can often hold out that long when danger looms.

However, the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator clearly never got that chance, as Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent immobilized his body and Nascent Soul, robbing him of even that split-second window.

Master Wang He’s gaze wavered; a twinge of remorse stirred within him.

Li Yuanba represented a serious hazard. At his current Nascent Soul Middle Stage level, Wang He, at Great Cultivator Peak, could firmly hold him in check.

But should Li Yuanba ascend to Great Cultivator, containing him would turn far more difficult.

Even Li Yuanba’s Sword Intent stirred unease in Master Wang He.

He resolved to devise countermeasures against Li Yuanba upon his return to the Yuqing Sect.

In the Hell Cave Heaven, he wouldn’t dare breach their agreement by targeting Li Yuanba. Another factor also deterred him from striking at Li Yuanba or Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion here.

Pondering this, Master Wang He eyed the ebbing vitality of the fallen White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, a sneer playing in his stare.

"Truly courting death!" he mused inwardly.

Even without Li Yuanba’s fatal strike on this White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, given the man’s actions, the end would probably mirror this once that certain figure showed up.

He understood that person’s irascible nature all too well, particularly in clashes.

Having felled one White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator, Li Yuanba geared up to strike the other two, only for them to abruptly trigger their ’Space Acceptance Talismans.’

To Li Yuanba’s stunned gaze, the pair of White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators blinked out of sight, leaving him wide-eyed in astonishment.

A silent frustration gripped Li Yuanba; these two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators had fled straight away using his very own ’Space Acceptance Talisman.’

Thankfully, the ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skill on the defeated White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator had been amplified by him. After the Xingyi Sword’s impact, its restorative energy failed to mend the White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator; without that, finishing him off could have proven far trickier.
