Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1636: Chapter 864: Divergence (Part 2)

”Jian Tianyi, Li Yuanba, come and fight a match!” Great Cultivator Lin and Great Cultivator Yu shouted simultaneously as they launched attacks towards Cultivator Jian Tianyi and Li Yuanba.

The surrounding Great Cultivators, as if they had agreed in advance, also joined and launched their attacks alongside the two Great Cultivators.

Various colored spiritual power beams gathered towards Cultivator Jian Tianyi and Li Yuanba, heralding the start of a grand battle.

Phoenix Palace Master saw the flames containing ’Nanming Leaving Fire’ surging towards her, but she showed no fear. With a gentle wave of her hand, a late-stage fourth-grade Red Gold Phoenix appeared in front of her.

The moment the Red Gold Phoenix appeared, its feathers transformed into fire, and the flames detached from the Phoenix’s body, attacking the ’Nanming Leaving Fire.’

The two fires in mid-air refused to back down, resulting in a stalemate.

In front of Great Cultivator Ren Mu appeared a fourth-grade top shield, enhanced with water spiritual power, blocking him.

’Nanming Leaving Fire’ was stopped by the shield, leading to red mist as fire and water collided.

Master Cui fought one against two, attacking with all his might not to defeat Phoenix Palace Master and Great Cultivator Ren Mu but to prevent the two peak Great Cultivators from supporting the other side’s battle.

’Nanming Leaving Fire’ excels in explosive attacks, ensuring that at least in the short term, Phoenix Palace Master and Great Cultivator Ren Mu cannot spare a hand.

”Leave these two to me, the others are yours!” Cultivator Jian Tianyi instructed Li Yuanba via divine sense during the assault.

His Lifebound Flying Sword faced the attacks from Great Cultivator Lin and Great Cultivator Yu, with the peak Great Cultivator level ’Void-Breaking Sword Intent’ almost instantly breaking through the attacks of the two peak Great Cultivators.

Upon hearing the instruction, Li Yuanba’s figure vanished, with ’World Inches Apart’ placing him among the outer Great Cultivators.

In the moment he emerged from the void, a Mountain Peak Treasure appeared overhead, instantly transforming into a massive mountain peak.

Once the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ returned to its true form, it activated the gravitational field.

Such a gravitational field, while not having a significant effect on these near peak Great Cultivators, merely slowed their actions for a brief moment.

Li Yuanba’s realm was too low, and the gravitational field of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ simultaneously affecting numerous top Great Cultivators caused its might to disperse.

Using this brief moment when all top Great Cultivators were slowed, the Xingyi Sword slashed out two strikes like flashes.

He did not seek powerful attacks, merely aiming to cause as much damage in the shortest possible time.

A Fourth-Grade Sword Foundation appeared in his hand, and he quickly stabbed towards the nearest top Great Cultivator.

Originally there were eight top Great Cultivators present. Three had wounds upon emerging from the gravitational field.

The three top Great Cultivators turned pale and quickly mobilized their spiritual power to dispel ’Chaos Sword Intent.’ Regarding the wounds, though the attack’s speed was prioritized, the power only broke through their defenses but did not inflict severe injuries.

But at least these three top Great Cultivators cannot join the battle for a short time, leaving only five top Great Cultivators able to fight from the original eight.

The five top Great Cultivators recalled their attacking magical treasures, cautiously guarding against the overhead ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ in case it suddenly crushed downwards.

In the Cultivation World, the impact power of mountain peak type magical treasures remains formidable. Though Li Yuanba just entered the Great Cultivator realm, the explosive power of the mountain peak type magical treasure still poses a threat to them.

But they were mistaken; the impact of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ is far weaker than its upcoming attack.

Over two thousand energy-converted flying swords flew from within the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ swarming towards the five top Great Cultivators like a bee swarm.

The five top Great Cultivators would not await their demise in silence. With time to prepare, they took out their respective defensive magical treasures, simultaneously aiming their attacking magical treasures at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba executed ’World Inches Apart’ again, his figure appearing on the other side of the battlefield.

Since advancing to the Great Cultivator realm, the ’World Inches Apart’ of the Divine Foot Skill has evidently improved in speed, allowing him to use it freely in battle with brief intervals, enabling consecutive usage.

He dared not confront the attacks of five top Great Cultivators, resorting to his most adept method to evade using ’World Inches Apart.’

He cannot leave the battlefield; thus his evasion resembled dancing on the knife-edge.

He remained within the attack range of five top Great Cultivators, who need only subtly move their divine senses to pursue him with their attacking magical treasures.

However, the attack time Li Yuanba allowed the five top Great Cultivators was extremely brief, not even granting them a second strike opportunity before they voluntarily recalled their attacking magical treasures.

The five top Great Cultivators did not anticipate that all over two thousand Fourth-Grade energy-converted flying swords attacking them contained ’Chaos Sword Intent.’

Their defensive magical treasures, after resisting several Fourth-Grade energy-converted flying swords, were forcibly dismantled.

Their hairs stood on end, reflexively activating their life-saving Jade Talismans, their figures transforming into light and escaping.

The Fourth-Grade energy-converted flying swords hit nothing but void, not slaying even one top Great Cultivator.

The three top Great Cultivators attempting to dispel ’Chaos Sword Intent,’ upon seeing this scene and noticing the Fourth-Grade energy-converted flying swords turning towards them, also activated their life-saving Jade Talismans.

Li Yuanba felt a bit helpless; he aimed to retain one or two top Great Cultivators, ideally all of them.

But evidently, he lacked the decisive power to ensure victory; when unable to quickly eliminate the enemy, top Great Cultivators with life-saving Jade Talismans could easily retreat from battle.

Previously, whether his true self, Li Shiming, or his clone Li Yuanba, the premise for slaying foes relied on a one-hit kill capability.

Lacking one-hit kill capability, it became difficult to effortlessly slay enemies.

Li Yuanba didn’t dwell on it; the battle between Cultivator Jian Tianyi and the two peak Great Cultivators continued on the other side.

He waved to collect the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ all Fourth-Grade energy-converted flying swords returned to it for renewal.

He turned his gaze to the other side of the battlefield, ready to join the ongoing battle over there.

On the battlefield currently, Cultivator Jian Tianyi was pressuring the two peak Great Cultivators, yet quick resolution proved impossible as their combat strength was not weak. One-on-one, Cultivator Jian Tianyi might quickly conclude the battle.

However, in a one-on-two scenario, the coordination of two peak Great Cultivators formed a stronger combat force.

Great Cultivator Lin raised ice walls, blocking Cultivator Jian Tianyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword.

Though each ice wall shattered upon contact with Cultivator Jian Tianyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword, Great Cultivator Lin’s ice wall manufacturing speed was remarkably swift.

Great Cultivator Yu first took out an array plate, swiftly forming a formation.

Thereafter, Great Cultivator Lin unleashed his full power, raising countless ice walls. The combination of ice walls and formation constituted an aerial Ice Crystal Fortress.

Cultivator Jian Tianyi’s Lifebound Flying Sword relentlessly struck the Ice Crystal Fortress; though the fortress was quickly damaged, Great Cultivator Lin internally repaired it without effort.

With this formation created by the Ice Crystal Fortress, the two peak Great Cultivators finally gained a reprieve, commencing their counterattack against Cultivator Jian Tianyi.

Though Cultivator Jian Tianyi still held some advantage, this advantage was gradually being offset.

Li Yuanba also sighed; peak Great Cultivators are difficult to deal with. The teamwork between two peak Great Cultivators, enhanced by the ice rules infused ice walls, achieved the utmost defensive power a peak Great Cultivator could accomplish.
