Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1454: Chapter 773: Reinforcements (Part 2)

Leaving behind some of the cultivators, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners in Li Yuanba’s team still numbered nearly seven hundred, along with fourteen great cultivators.

Such a team’s combat power is extremely terrifying, especially since each superpower is also mindful of cooperation, allowing the combat power to be further amplified.

The sword cultivators of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion are positioned in the middle of the team, which is also the forefront of the team; the entire team advances in an arrow formation, with the sword cultivators serving as the vanguard.

They are the first to encounter hell creatures and are also in the most danger.

Although the pressure on the other superpowers is slightly less than that of Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, it is by no means easy.

Of course, this formation is not set in stone, and after some time, there will be a rotation; the superpowers’ cultivators at the forefront return to the center of the formation, enveloped for respite and without the need to fight.

With sufficient combat strength to back them, this team can advance rapidly without needing to worry about energy expenditure.

This time, Li Yuanba stood at the front of the team, and ahead were five Mid-stage Golden Corpses. He continuously emitted sword light imbued with ‘Chaos Sword Intent,’ standing out among the sword cultivators.

The cultivators of the Central State Continent truly witnessed the terror of Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba’s battle was without any falsification; he did not utilize powerful artifacts or secret techniques to temporarily boost combat strength, merely using the true attack methods of sword cultivators — sword intent.

The terrifying unknown sword intent, each time after emitting sword light, would kill off four or five hell creatures before dissipating.

If these cultivators had not themselves battled against hell creatures, they would believe these Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life to be extremely weak.

Each Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life had defensive capabilities surpassing ordinary cultivators, and it was only due to the limited attack methods of hell creatures that their obliteration by cultivators was possible.

It’s important to note that the cultivators here were Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioners from superpowers, any of whom placed into the cultivation world would be among the powerful of same-level cultivators.

This resulted in the easy obliteration of hell creatures, but if other sword cultivators wished to obliterate hell creatures, they either needed to attack continuously many times or join forces with others, otherwise it would be difficult to eliminate a hell creature quickly.

However, observing Li Yuanba’s battle was akin to seeing a Nascent Soul Middle Stage practitioner bullying a Golden Core cultivator.

Of course, the premise is that the defensive power of those five Mid-stage Golden Corpses was exceedingly strong, not merely defensive. They could harness power and speed to evade most attacks, reducing the number of enemies faced by knocking them away.

And those five Mid-stage Golden Corpses also belonged to Li Yuanba.

At that moment, the cultivators from the Central State Continent superpowers, be they ordinary or core cultivators or even great cultivators, all recognized Li Yuanba’s combat capability.

Li Yuanba’s ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ was felt as a threat even among the great cultivators present.

Previously, there were rumors that Li Yuanba had slain great cultivators, which others viewed with skepticism. Now, all the great cultivators present believed that rumor.

The techniques Li Yuanba was now displaying were conventional methods he could use for extended periods, and they posed a threat to great cultivators; they did not believe that Li Yuanba had no hidden methods.

Especially hearing that a few days ago, Li Yuanba had single-handedly slain a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Being; while the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion sword cultivators had not given detailed accounts, this alone placed him above most great cultivators present.

Li Yuanba was expressively displaying his sword intent, and these same-level hell creatures allowed him to hone his sword intent.

Over these many days, the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ continued to improve; most importantly, the foundation of the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ was also expanding, with more sword intent attributes covered by ‘chaos.’

These achievements were due to the daily wielding of the ‘Chaos Sword Intent’ in combat, coupled with the analysis and research comparing the ‘Sword Intent Stele’ on Li Shiming’s side.

Even with continued use of the ‘Chaos Sword Intent,’ its advancement persists.

He was in a good mood, initially thinking that reinforcements from superpowers would cause him some trouble, but he hadn’t expected them to be divided into two teams. The superpowers that held grudges against him ended up in the other team, allowing him to perform freely without worry.

“Over there, they were too careless and lost twenty-four cultivators!” A great cultivator’s voice sounded in Li Yuanba’s ear.

He and the great cultivators of superpowers in the Central State Continent were on a specific public transmission channel, enabling all cultivators within it to communicate with each other.

The speaker was a great cultivator from the Beidou Sect, and by “over there,” he naturally referred to the teams of other continent superpowers.

In such a short time, it’s estimated they had just begun engaging hell creatures, yet had already suffered such losses.

Li Yuanba felt a chill; he could not imagine how a team of over a thousand superpower Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators and twenty great cultivators could incur such losses.

“They underestimated the hell creatures, thinking our minimal losses in twenty days meant these hell creatures were very easy to deal with!” Another great cultivator spoke up.

“We still have to thank Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and Mr. Li!” Hongguang Venerable said at that moment.

All great cultivators understood that the reduced losses were due to the ‘Space Acceptance Array’ and Li Yuanba’s ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill.

With Li Yuanba’s ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill, as long as the cultivators did not fall on the spot, they could be saved back and quickly restored.

Even if great cultivators were injured, the same applied. It was due to the support of the ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill that enabled such minimal losses over twenty days.

Imagine, without Li Yuanba’s ‘Innate Wood’ divine skill, at least five to six of the great cultivators here would be unable to fight due to injuries.

With five to six fewer great cultivators, the cultivators would incur more losses, and the remaining great cultivators would face even more pressure.

Thus, injuries among the great cultivators would increase, and it might even lead to the suspension of the mission, which was not an impossibility.

All the great cultivators here understood this clearly, so they treated Li Yuanba with complete equality, even involving him in the interactions among great cultivators.

“If they are not careful over there, their losses will only increase!” Great Cultivator Lou said solemnly.

He shifted the topic because Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion had already made enough of an impression this time, indebting the superpowers, so there was no need to say more.

“Indeed, let’s hope they exercise caution!” Grandmaster Wu responded with concern.

With only two teams in total, heavy losses on the other side would weaken the cultivator’s combat power here, making the mission more challenging.

This mission is of considerable scale, with a long time span, and no one can state precisely how long it will take to complete.

At present, it seems unlikely that under a year or two the matter of Hell Cave Heaven could be resolved.

But given the rate of loss of cultivators on the other side, maintaining sustained combat for so long is not feasible.

Even if reinforcements arrive later, significant losses will cause some superpowers to delay sending more cultivators, weighing profit and loss more carefully.

The threat of Hell Cave Heaven is indeed substantial, but even if its space collapses entirely, the Central State Continent would be the first affected.

If hell creatures were truly to cross the ocean and threaten other continents, disregarding probability, it would still be many years before that threat became imminent.

“We should remind them once more, never underestimate those hell creatures!” Great Cultivator Lou said helplessly.

The great cultivators here all had varying degrees of contact with those on the other side; collective reminders would ultimately garner attention.
