Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1481 - 787: Resolution

Li Yuanba's fury found no outlet, so he shifted his attention toward the cultivators from the White Emperor Sect who were close by.

Maybe because of their high standing, the three Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion looked down on assaulting the beaten Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect, yet Li Yuanba felt no such hesitation.

Grasping the Xingyi Sword firmly, he launched strikes against the White Emperor Sect cultivators.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect fell into total chaos; their expected help got blocked after one Great Cultivator fell and the other two ran away.

"What should we do?" This question raced through the minds of every Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner from the White Emperor Sect.

Naturally, a handful stood apart, specifically the core cultivators.

In unison, they triggered the 'Space Acceptance Talismans', vanishing from the Hell Cave Heaven.

Right as they disappeared, the blow from the Xingyi Sword struck.

What made an attack truly destructive? Li Yuanba's swing with the Xingyi Sword served as a prime example—a blow of utter devastation.

To every cultivator watching, Li Yuanba stood far above regular Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners or even core ones, despite sharing the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm.

His history of killing Great Cultivators and multiple Late Stage Fourth Grade entities had earned him a reputation matching a Great Cultivator's might.

These days, hardly anyone bothered talking about the supposed peak of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, since he didn't belong in that realm at all.

Infused with 'Chaos Sword Intent', the Xingyi Sword ripped through the protective barrier formed by the White Emperor Sect's Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, breaking inside.

Shrieks rang out nonstop the instant the Xingyi Sword breached the defensive array of the White Emperor Sect's Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, sparking a brutal slaughter.

This happened because those Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners lacked 'Space Acceptance Talismans', items reserved solely for core cultivators and Great Cultivators.

On top of that, three hundred sword cultivators from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion hemmed them in, leaving no path for flight even if they tried.

Like the reaper's deadly blade, Li Yuanba's Xingyi Sword harvested the lives of White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners; the 'Chaos Sword Intent' obliterated their bodies and nascent souls the moment it invaded.

"Run!" Once he cut down dozens of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners, the survivors from the White Emperor Sect broke down, letting out piercing wails.

Amid their cries, these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners resorted to their sole option for fleeing—Nascent Soul Emergence.

Nascent souls burst free from bodies one after another, scattering in every direction.

Li Yuanba felt taken aback by the swift choice these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners made; maybe it wasn't boldness, but sheer panic in the midst of the killing that drove them to ditch their physical forms via nascent soul emergence.

The nascent soul moved at incredible speeds, and with full escape arts engaged, it outpaced the norm by several folds.

Thus, during Li Yuanba's brief pause, numerous nascent souls slipped away from the fight.

A few nascent souls got struck down by the sword cultivators' flying swords while fleeing, but scarce were the blades quick enough to keep up with a nascent soul's pace, so plenty managed to get away.

Li Yuanba's wrath lingered; even though many nascent souls had bolted, certain White Emperor Sect Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners faltered for a single breath amid their nascent soul emergence.

Right then, those nascent souls had only just appeared and failed to flee yet.

Flying sand suddenly swirled across the battlefield, enveloping a zone centered on Li Yuanba with a thousand-meter span.

All the nascent souls that hadn't escaped got trapped within the flying sand.

"So ruthless!" The Great Cultivators observing couldn't hold back their gasps.

They knew the source of the flying sand; it came from a signature divine skill of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, the 'Sanmei Divine Wind'.

The 'Sanmei Divine Wind' ranked among the rare divine skills capable of hunting nascent souls. Inside its domain, nascent souls had no chance to break free, slowly eroding under its force.

The fight concluded, and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion sword cultivators efficiently cleared the field; mustard seed rings piled up, while intact bodies got gathered.

As Li Yuanba handled most of the work, the group sorted things out by setting aside the rewards meant for him.

"Junior Master Lou, here's yours, I'll claim the body!" Li Yuanba approached the fallen White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator's corpse, pulled the soul crystal ring from it, and flung it over to Great Cultivator Lou without a glance, declaring.

"Your kill means it's your prize, I have no need for such items!" Surprisingly, Great Cultivator Lou flung it right back with ease, replying.

Li Yuanba gave a shake of his head, holding his tongue; truly, neither he nor Great Cultivator Lou placed much value on a White Emperor Sect Great Cultivator's soul crystal ring.

He intended to inspect the spiritual treasures within the soul crystal ring and make up for Great Cultivator Lou afterward.

Regarding the shares from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivator's spoils, he took them without protest. Rules for dividing battle gains formed an unspoken custom; unless with a truly intimate fellow cultivator, better to stick to them.

His bond with Great Cultivator Lou, built from years of dealings and tied through Lou Wu, ran deep, so they treated the loot with informality.

Something crossed Li Yuanba's mind, and he sent a mental link to Great Venerable Hongfa.

Great Venerable Hongfa informed him that the two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators, upon exiting the 'Space Acceptance Array', had promptly departed Hell Island and vanished completely.

He had worried earlier that those two White Emperor Sect Great Cultivators might strike at Great Venerable Hongfa or wreck the 'Space Acceptance Array'.
