Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1440: Chapter 766: Entering (Part 2)

Li Yuanba nodded, without having to consider the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings, he wasn’t too concerned about the Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life.

During the defense these past few days, he hadn’t shown his real strength.

Unlike other Sword Cultivators, he excelled at facing overwhelming odds with fewer resources.

"The squads have been divided, Yuan Ba, you’re free to maneuver and won’t join any team. Now, lead your squads towards the channel entrance and prepare to enter the Hell Cave Heaven!" Great Cultivator Lou finally waved and issued the order.

The seven core Sword Cultivators accepted the order and left, Li Yuanba followed by Great Cultivator Lou, flew towards the Hell Cave Heaven channel.

At this moment on Hell Island, the cultivator convicts had already been driven to the front of the channel, behind them were the cultivators of the gathering superpowers.

The channel’s Hell Creatures continued to emerge, but with the intervention of a few Great Cultivators, these Hell Creatures were completely ineffective and were killed halfway.

"Your redemption time has come. This time, you charge forward; the practitioners who survive the battle can leave Hell Island!" A Great Cultivator said to the convict cultivators at the forefront.

Some convict cultivators carried a look of despair in their eyes, while others showed a glimmer of hope. Among them, some were nearing the end of their exile, while others faced permanent exile.

However, regardless, this war offered them a chance to leave.

Besides, they had no ability to refuse; just a few Great Cultivators here could wipe them out.

"Survive, charge!" A convict cultivator shouted, leading the rush towards the channel.

The other convict cultivators loudly responded and joined the charge.

There were quite a few convict cultivators, nearly four hundred, all at Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation.

They launched their assault, frantically attacking the Hell Creatures within the channel, forcing the Hell Creatures to retreat momentarily.

Almost every cultivator possessed long-range attack abilities, and their burst of combat power nearly cleared the front Hell Creatures.

Of course, there were some unlucky ones among them, struck by the Hell Sheep Head Creatures’ remote evil energy balls, screaming as they fell.

Other cultivators stepped over the bodies of fallen comrades, continuing their charge.

As the convict cultivators drew closer to the other end of the Hell Cave Heaven channel, their losses increased.

More cultivators continually fell, replaced by those behind.

Those standing behind watched the convict cultivators’ charge, but few felt sympathy for them.

None here committed light crimes—otherwise, they wouldn’t be exiled to Hell Island.

Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners with similar crimes would be executed, but Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners would only be sent to Hell Island, with the length of exile increasing with crime severity.

Every Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator committing crimes from the entire cultivation world was sent to Hell Island, forming the nearly four hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage convicts.

Having convicts lead the charge served to eliminate the need for convicts on Hell Island after this major task.

Maintaining ordinary cultivator casualties was another reason.

Breaking through the Hell Cave Heaven entrance was the hardest part of the war, and establishing a foothold base inside after entering would allow continuous expansion of war efforts.

Li Yuanba watched peacefully, seeing that Supervisor Sun from Central State Commerce was also among the charging convict cultivators.

Supervisor Sun had once betrayed Li Shiming, who had been a Guest Elder at Central State Commerce, earning huge profits for them.

Supervisor Sun’s crime equated to betraying Central State Commerce; were it not for his Nascent Soul Middle Stage level, he would likely be executed.

His exile term was relatively short among the convicts, highlighting the severity of the other convicts’ misdeeds.

Li knew this from chatting with several Great Cultivators while helping with defense.

He felt no sympathy for these cultivators; only death could redeem their crimes.

He saw Supervisor Sun get pierced by a sharp horn, emitting a desperate scream with a final burst of spell light, blowing up the Hell Creature attacking him.

Supervisor Sun collapsed, then another Hell Creature lunged and bit his throat.

Nearing the end of the Hell Cave Heaven channel, the battle grew increasingly brutal.

Each inch of progress by convict cultivators brought heavy casualties.

At this moment, the convict cultivators went mad, knowing no retreat, only releasing their spiritual powers without regard.

Finally, at the loss of more than half the convict cultivators, they broke through the channel and entered Hell Cave Heaven.

"All Sword Cultivators, join me in entering Hell Cave Heaven!" Great Cultivator Lou ordered.

As Sword Cultivators, they couldn’t let other superpowers take the lead.

Li Yuanba rushed to the forefront, finding no obstruction as the channel had been cleared, mixing only the flesh and blood of both cultivators and Hell Creatures, arriving first into Hell Cave Heaven.

For the first time, he beheld the scene of Hell Cave Heaven, with a black sun hanging in the sky, oddly illuminating the ground brightly.

But the sky remained dim, as if pressed by rain clouds.

In the sky, Hell Creatures flew using their wings, while countless others surged from the ground.

From one glance, the number of Hell Creatures seemed endless.

Only the lack of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings assured him; among the endless Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life, he sensed no existence of Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings.

However, it’s possible the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings were well hidden, as before, concealing their presence and fighting like ordinary Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life, revealing their formidable powers only upon eruption.

Li Yuanba’s hesitation lasted but a moment; he noticed the remaining hundred-plus convict cultivators nearly collapsing.

Their initial vigor after breaking through into Hell Cave Heaven turned into fear upon witnessing the scene.

Facing a sea of Hell Creatures far surpassing their numbers, hopes eroded into despair.

Li Yuanba waved his hand, summoning five Mid-stage Golden Corpses onto the battlefield, while he tossed ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ above his head.

An invisible wave spread from the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ as a gravity force field enhanced by the ’Gravity Gold Brick’ emerged, affecting a kilometer radius centered around him.

Although he didn’t unleash the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s magical artifact powers, the gravity force field allowed short-term sufficient output.

Yet he sensed the force field rapidly consuming ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’s energy upon deployment.

He continually injected spiritual power into the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak,’ attempting to compensate for the rapid consumption, yet unable to match the depletion rate.

He had utilized gravity force fields before, but none with such consumption over a kilometer radius.

This differed from previous times; within this radius existed an immense count of Four-grade Mid-stage Hell Life, with unimaginable energy required to influence them.
