Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1689: Chapter 891: Battle in the Cave-Heaven

Cultivator Dai Biao, along with several other great cultivators, entered the Grotto Heaven. As he gazed upon the hellish scenery of the Grotto Heaven, his mind cleared.

For a modest great cultivator like him to dare challenge a half-step great power, this thought made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

Only now did he realize that, if not for some bewitchment secret technique in Jiao Xian’s words earlier, he would never have believed them.

However, now that they were here, the only thing he and the other great cultivators could do was to kill the half-step great power.

Entering the Grotto Heaven of a half-step great power is to forge a deadly enmity, a piece of information circulated amongst many superpowers.

A half-step great power in their Grotto Heaven needs to constantly amend the rules of the Grotto Heaven, adjusting the Cave Heaven Energy, a process immensely dangerous, akin to controlling an elephant with the strength of an ant.

Any slight mishap could inflict irreparable harm on the half-step great power.

Therefore, a half-step great power’s Grotto Heaven would never allow any cultivator to enter, no matter how intimate the cultivator is.

Cultivator Dai Biao saw the half-step great power, his pallid complexion and obviously unstable aura indicated his exceedingly poor condition.

Upon witnessing the half-step great power’s frail state, the great cultivators exchanged glances, their eyes aglow with excitement.

They remembered the reward promised by Jiao Xian; whoever was first to slay the half-step great power would receive Jiao Xian’s reward, a prize significant enough to alter their fate.

Don’t be misled; they’re just a step away from becoming peak great cultivators, but this step is no easy leap, as the resources to ascend to peak great cultivator are exceedingly precious, requiring them to wait many more years.

In the Purple Cloud Sect, there are many great cultivators queuing for resources, yet the resources needed to ascend to peak great cultivator are limited.

This was their chance, as long as they managed to slay the weakened half-step great power, it would reduce their wait by centuries.

"Slay!" One great cultivator was the first to make a move, flashing towards the half-step great power. Once within a certain distance, within the range of his flying sword’s attack, he let out a loud cry and slashed his sword down.

This flying sword, enveloped in flames, descended upon the half-step great power. The half-step great power seemed to be gravely injured, unable even to move his body.

The great cultivator’s face lit up with excitement, this powerful slash utilized most of his spiritual power pattern, ignited through secret technique, his mightiest strike.

He believed this strike’s power was enough to inflict powerful harm on any being.

Yet, when he saw the flying sword bounce off the half-step great power’s body, he was taken aback, momentarily unable to accept the result.

Though the combat prowess close to a peak great cultivator and a true peak great cultivator differs significantly, he believed that this full-force strike, powered by secret technique, was not inferior to a peak great cultivator’s attack.

Yet never did he imagine that his strike would not even break through the half-step great power’s defense.

He clearly saw there was no protective shield on the half-step great power’s body; it was entirely with his flesh that he took the strike.

The other great cultivators were equally astonished, and without further ado, each unleashed their flying swords, slashing towards the half-step great power.

Swords struck again and again on the half-step great power’s body, yet the flying swords were all bounced away.

The half-step great power frowned slightly, as he was at a crucial moment in stabilizing the Grotto Heaven Energy. Being disturbed at this moment made him exceedingly angry.

"Courting death!" At last, he could no longer endure and spoke.

With those words, the mighty force of the Grotto Heaven bore down on the great cultivators. They wanted to dodge, but found themselves restricted by the Grotto Heaven, unable to move.

They thought of a possibility, that a half-step great power in his Grotto Heaven has the ability to control everything, much like the lord of a realm, any cultivator in the Grotto Heaven would be subjected to its constraints.

At that moment, they truly felt the terror of a half-step great power in his Grotto Heaven, it was the sensation of world power amassed in one person’s hands; the half-step great power was like a god of this world.

They watched as the mighty force weighed down on them, their bodies shattered with a boom, even their nascent souls unable to escape.

Among the great cultivators who entered together, only Cultivator Dai Biao survived, as he had lagged behind and did not attack with the others.

Perhaps the half-step great power did not wish to waste energy on Cultivator Dai Biao.

Cultivator Dai Biao’s whole body continually trembled; the feeling of opposing the entire world made him rejected by the rules of the Grotto Heaven, allowing him to wield only the energy within his body.

Yet confronting the entire Grotto Heaven with the energy in his body, that sense of helplessness nearly caused him to faint.

At this moment, he sensed a familiar aura behind him, it was Jiao Xian arriving, which calmed his mind.

"Why haven’t you attacked?" Jiao Xian asked Cultivator Dai Biao in a voice akin to that of a demon.

Jiao Xian had no intention of letting Cultivator Dai Biao survive; if the previous great cultivators had not fallen, it wouldn’t matter if Cultivator Dai Biao lived.

But as the previous great cultivators were essentially driven by him to their deaths, allowing Cultivator Dai Biao to return to the sect alive, even if they gained the Inheritance Cave Heaven, would lead to questions from the sect.

The simplest solution to this problem was to let Cultivator Dai Biao fall as well, and then claim they were attacked by a half-step great power from the Yuzhu Islands. After all, if he alone survived, whatever he said would be the truth.
