Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2054: Chapter 1073: Battle

The Fire Dragon’s attack is capable of destroying space, and the Late Stage Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ are well aware of this point.

As they retreated, over a hundred Half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ were like over a hundred rag dolls, obliterated in an instant by the Fire Dragon’s bites and claws.

After the Fire Dragon killed over a hundred Half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, it chased after the retreating Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

At this moment, the Late Stage Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ was prepared; he borrowed energy from ten Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, transforming ’Holy Spirit’ energy into a thick earth-attribute wall.

He had calculated that the Fire Dragon’s attack on this earth-attribute wall would require at least two breaths of time.

Two breaths would be enough for him to make other responses; now he only needed to buy time, as more reinforcements would soon arrive.

This was the Divine Domain, their home ground.

But the Late Stage Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ never expected Great Power Lu Wei to act differently than he anticipated.

Before the Fire Dragon reached the earth-attribute wall, it self-destructed instead of attacking.

Inside the Fire Dragon was a portion of energy drawn by Great Power Lu Wei from the Grotto Heaven, combined with the energy from nearly seventy Great Powers.

Some of this energy had been consumed previously, but not much, and at this moment it exploded instantly, facilitated by the Fire Dragon’s self-detonation.

The Fire Dragon was comprised of various Fifth Grade Spirit Fires, and self-detonation created conflict among the various Fifth Grade Spirit Fires.

At this time, Li Yuanba accurately identified four types of Fifth Grade Spirit Fires within the Fire Dragon, each unique, powerful, and previously unseen by him.

The uncontrolled detonation of the four types of Fifth Grade Spirit Fires, carrying the remaining energy within the Fire Dragon, unleashed an unimaginably powerful force.

The earth-attribute wall that could’ve withstood the Fire Dragon’s attack for two breaths failed to hold even for a moment, shattered by the exploding Fifth Grade Spirit Fire.

The Fifth Grade Spirit Fire surged towards the Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’; four of them, positioned at the forefront, were struck by the Fifth Grade Spirit Fire.

The Fifth Grade Spirit Fire penetrated their defenses, fell upon them, and instantly reduced their bodies to ashes.

The Late Stage Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ had no choice but to use ’Holy Spirit’ energy to grab the remaining Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ and forcefully perform space movement to leave the area.

With the Fire Dragon self-destructed, timely execution of space movement remained safe.

He had to leave first; what was once a formidable team now had only six Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ and himself left. He had no confidence to face the next wave of attack from the human cultivators.

This battle occurred extremely quickly, ending in less than thirty minutes.

Yet the outcome of this battle can be described as glorious.

Of course, compared to Li Yuanba’s previous results, it was somewhat lacking.

But there’s no real comparison; Li Yuanba’s last battle was essentially taking advantage.

At that time, all ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ had their own opponents, while he wielded ten thousand Energy-converted Flying Swords to divide and conquer.

This time was different; Great Power Lu Wei’s Fire Dragon forcibly broke through the battle formation of nearly two hundred ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, annihilating most of them.

Only one Late Stage Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ and six Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ escaped, and this was a result achieved through solid direct combat.

”Wonderful!”

”Great!”

The human Great Powers shouted excitedly.

Each of them had their energy within the Fire Dragon, and the results achieved by the Fire Dragon made them proud.

Great Power Lu Wei said nothing; triggering the Fire Dragon’s self-detonation caused him some backlash, requiring him to quickly adjust before the next battle commenced.

”Several healing Great Powers, please assist Mr. Lu!” Great Power Peng Run said solemnly.

Following orders, three healing Great Powers intervened, casting wood and water attribute healing lights onto Great Power Lu Wei.

Unfortunately, only one of the three healing Great Powers was at the Middle Stage Great Power realm; the other two Early Stage Great Powers’ healing effects were quite weak.

”Mr. Li, could you also lend your aid?” Great Power Peng Run turned to Li Yuanba, seeing the poor healing effects.

Li Yuanba joined this action not as a healing Great Power but with his combat power ranking among the forefront of the Great Powers present.

Thus, when Great Power Peng Run asked Li Yuanba for healing assistance, he requested rather than ordered.

Li Yuanba nodded slightly, unleashing his ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills.

His ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, bolstered by the ’Innate Jianmu Tree Heart’, surpassed those performed by Li Shiming through his Wood Element Talent.

To some extent, Li Yuanba’s ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills’ healing effects are unquestionably top-tier among peers.

He continuously cast multiple ’Innate Wood’ Divine Skills, with each light falling upon Great Power Lu Wei.

Great Power Lu Wei’s aura stabilized quickly, and the backlash was gradually restored under the healing.

”Thank you all!” He exhaled deeply, smiling and nodding in gratitude to the healing Great Powers, especially to Li Yuanba.

Among the healing Great Powers, Li Yuanba’s healing was the most effective.

Though he suffered slight backlash, the price was minor compared to repelling the first batch of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ with immense results. There’s nothing to be dissatisfied with.

If the first batch of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ had engaged human cultivators in a prolonged battle, even if he fought desperately, achieving such results would’ve been impossible as more ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ arrived.

The first batch of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ was repelled, and tranquility resumed for now.

Everyone knows that the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ must be regrouping, and the next arrival of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ will surely be larger and stronger.

Three Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’ naturally landed at the altar, and two guarding Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ discovered them and rushed to welcome.

”The gathering point is not here; did you arrive at the wrong place?” an Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ asked aloud.

”We came from afar, here just to rest for a moment!” Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’ responded in Divine Language.

The Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ had no doubts; throughout history, no traitors have appeared among the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, leading to an absence of vigilance.

The three Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’ approached the two Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ closely, with only three meters between them.

Only an absence of defense would allow such proximity; for Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’, this distance was within arm’s reach of the two Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

The three Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’ employing this method to stealthily ambush lower realm ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ was shamelessly bold.

They cared not for appearances; achieving their goals permitted any action.

The two Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ offered no resistance and were promptly annihilated.

Mid Fifth Grade ’Holy Spirits’ did not match ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ in ’Holy Spirit’ energy applications, yet they held their own advantages.

During their revival, they were transformed by six trillion ’Refining Corpse Runes’, enhancing their power greatly.

Their strengths, speed, and defense had increased beyond their same-level ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

After eliminating the two Early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, the altar was devoid of outsiders.

Li Shiming hadn’t anticipated occupying an altar would be so easy.

Indeed, he chose a perfect moment, with most of the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ being lured by the human Great Powers at the Immortal Residence.

Even nearby ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ headed that way, leaving the altar defenseless.
