Chapter 1474 - 783: Rift (2)
Chapter 1474: Chapter 783: Rift (2)
In theory, spatial rifts should only appear in the main world and not exist within a Grotto Heaven.
Spatial rifts don’t occur within a Grotto Heaven; if space is unstable, it directly collapses like the entrance to the Hell Cave Heaven.
So far, no spatial rifts have appeared in any explored Grotto Heaven.
Present were Great Cultivators from superpower factions, who had the right to view some confidential information. All superpowers had research on spatial rifts, and even the mighty had left studies on the topic.
Even the mighty had confirmed that spatial rifts only exist in the main world.
Master Wang He’s words contradicted the conclusions of the mighty’s research, which was intolerable for the Great Cultivators who idolized the mighty.
"Slay through these Hell creatures, and you’ll see!" Master Wang He said in a deep voice, without any arguments.
At this point, the Great Cultivators no longer held back, and magical treasures were quickly deployed to clear the late-stage Fourth Grade Hell Beings, eager to see what lay ahead.
After such a prolonged battle, cultivators had long understood the weaknesses of the Hell creatures.
Hell creatures, even the late-stage Fourth Grade ones, have overly simplistic attack methods, which is the main reason they cannot rival human cultivators.
Previously, Hell creatures could rely on sheer numbers for combat, but with more than five thousand Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners and over fifty Great Cultivators, the numerical advantage vanished.
The battle turned into a massacre, especially with the presence of Master Wang He, whose every strike devastated swathes of Hell creatures.
At the forefront of the Four-direction Formation, whether ordinary Hell creatures or late-stage Fourth Grade ones, the only outcome under the lightning attacks was being terrifyingly struck down.
"See it!"
"That’s a spatial rift!"
"It truly is a spatial rift!"
Amidst exclamations, the Great Cultivators saw a black rift standing upright on the ground.
What shocked them the most was the continuous emergence of Hell creatures from the black rift.
It turns out Hell creatures were not birthed by the Hell Cave Heaven but emerged from this black rift.
"Clear out these surrounding Hell monsters with all we have; we must set up an array to block this spatial rift, or we cannot eradicate the Hell monsters!" Master Wang He commanded.
The cultivators’ Four-direction Formation began revolving around the spatial rift, continually slaying the Hell creatures surrounding it.
As one side was slain, a large number of array bases were laid down.
At this moment, Master Wang He left the Four-direction Formation to face the spatial rift alone, wielding the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hammer’ to unleash lightning repeatedly against the spatial rift.
Li Yuanba was stunned to see Master Wang He sealing the spatial rift by himself.
Of course, Master Wang He’s outburst couldn’t last long, but it was already incredibly powerful, beyond Li Yuanba’s imagination.
While battling, Li Yuanba observed the array bases being set up.
He realized this was a formation to stabilize space; once successfully deployed, it could suppress the spatial energy of the rift, thus reducing its gap.
This was also a temporary spatial formation; truly sealing the spatial rift wasn’t so simple.
From his perspective, this formation, built with a large amount of valuable Fourth-grade Array Materials, could sustain a maximum of six days.
He suspected the reason for bringing this space-stabilizing formation wasn’t aware of the spatial rift, but to stabilize the space of the Hell Cave Heaven to slow down its collapse.
Compared to Master Wang He’s battle, the Four-direction Formation’s fight seemed easy; with all Great Cultivators no longer holding back, the Hell creatures around the spatial rift rapidly diminished.
Finally, after seven hours of battle, they managed to clear the Hell creatures surrounding the spatial rift.
Some distant approaching Hell creatures no longer posed a threat.
Master Wang He, over there, was flashing with electric light all over, his body transformed into a Nascent Soul Dharma Form over ten meters tall, symbolizing the full unleashing of his combat strength.
Li Yuanba had been closely watching Master Wang He’s battle; he might become his enemy.
But after understanding Master Wang He’s battle, Li Yuanba had only one thought: until he reaches the Great Cultivator Level himself, it’s best to stay away from Master Wang He.
It’s not cowardice but recognizing one’s own strength.
Under Master Wang He’s full outburst, Li Yuanba saw four late-stage Fourth Grade Hell creatures wanting to rush over from the other side of the spatial rift, but during their attempt through the rift, just as a head emerged, it was struck down by Master Wang He’s lightning.
Li Yuanba could sense within Master Wang He’s lightning lay Thunder Rules; without the shared understanding from his true self, Li Shiming, he couldn’t perceive these Thunder Rules at his stage.
His ’Divine Vision’ was activated, connecting with the IBMz15 to record Master Wang He’s combat process, as it was extremely vital data for his true self Li Shiming’s cultivation in the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture.’
"Help with the battle; Array Masters, hurry and set up the formation!" Master Wang He noticed the cultivators watching his battle and called out.
Each of his lightning strokes was a full exertion consuming his Thunder Rules, burdened beyond endurance by such outbursts.
His internal Thunder Rules were his foundation for advancing to the Mahayana Realm; though normal consumption could recover, consuming beyond a limit would impair his foundation.
Upon hearing from him, the Great Cultivators joined the battle.
Master Wang He withdrew his Nascent Soul Dharma Form and took several Spirit Pills.
He didn’t dare rest but stood aside, ready to intervene should trouble arise.
On the other side, the formation was underway, but due to the periodically erupting spatial fluctuations and battle aftermath at the spatial rift site, several Array Masters’ setup work advanced slowly.
"What’s going on? Hurry up and set up the formation; the Great Cultivators are consuming tremendously!" Master Wang He complained somewhat to several Array Masters.
"Senior Wang, the spatial fluctuations and battle aftermath keep altering the energy here; we need extensive calculations for each array base, and it’s impossible to rush!" An Array Master explained with a raised head.
"How long will it take to complete the formation?" Master Wang He suppressed his anger, knowing urgency wasn’t feasible, and asked in a deep voice.
"Can’t say, but if things go smoothly, it might take two days!" The Array Master thought and answered.
"Two days; look at the spatial rift; where can it wait for two days!" Master Wang He finally couldn’t hold back his fury and shouted loudly.
Although the spatial rift seemed sealed for now, it appeared on the other side noticed this blockage, with increasing numbers of late-stage Fourth Grade Hell Beings appearing.
If not for over fifty Great Cultivators concentrating attacks on the spatial rift, Master Wang He felt unable to solo seal the rift anymore.
Waiting for two days, who knows what outcome would unfold.
Given such human and material resources and the death and injuries of so many cultivators, having finally found the source of the Hell Cave Heaven, they couldn’t let the final formation setup fail.
"We can only do our best; arranging a formation in such an environment isn’t a simple task!" The Array Master, shouted at, replied helplessly.
They weren’t trying to delay; in the Array Masters’ Array Formation Starlight Sea, there were computational results to refer to. In general environments, no matter how complex the formation, if studied by the Array Master, it could be quickly set up.
But this place’s energies were extremely chaotic, requiring recalculations to eliminate interference and incorporate spatial energy; such computational demand is why the few Array Masters, top in the Cultivation World, could guarantee the formation’s success.
