Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1799 - 946: Fierce Battle

As Li Yuanba was pondering this in his mind, he felt a transformation in space, and he was forcibly pulled by a spatial force into another space.

Once the space stabilized, he found himself inside a Grotto Heaven.

The temperature within the Grotto Heaven was extremely high, and a low-level cultivator would likely be burned to death immediately upon entry.

What met his eyes was countless flames; this place was truly a sea of fire.

This Grotto Heaven wasn’t particularly large, roughly a radius of two hundred meters. From his experience, this was a Grotto Heaven belonging to someone who had just entered the Half-step Great Power level.

However, regardless of how weak the Cave Heaven Master’s power might be, it was still beyond his comparison.

Li Yuanba saw the master of the Grotto Heaven, a cultivator completely shrouded in flames, whose features could not be discerned.

In his perception, this Half-step Great Power was like a part of this sea of fire.

Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao was also evaluating Li Yuanba. As someone who had just entered the Half-step Great Power level, he was the only one from the Infinite Sect who could act as a Half-step Great Power.

Currently, his realm was relatively low, not yet reaching the point where merely moving could destabilize the Grotto Heaven.

Of course, even when capable of acting, there was significant risk involved.

It’s best not to act at the Half-step Great Power level. If the energy within the Grotto Heaven becomes imbalanced, the consequences could be severe, causing irreparable harm to the Half-step Great Power.

But Li Yuanba’s existence posed too great a threat to the Infinite Sect, and with the enticing rewards and benefits offered by multiple other powerful factions, the Infinite Sect had decided to send Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao.

According to the plan, Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao would only target Li Yuanba, without interfering in other matters.

But because Great Cultivator Wei Lang was inexplicably killed in body form, if nothing were done, even his Nascent Soul might not be preserved.

The Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier of Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao was on Great Cultivator Wei Lang. While Wei Lang’s death wasn’t of concern, if there was no cultivator to carry the Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier, it would be left behind here.

Only by waiting for another cultivator from the Infinite Sect to come could the Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier be taken away.

During this time, the Grotto Heaven would be highly unsafe, which was not what Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao wanted, so he had no choice but to act.

Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao had two ways to act: one was to exert energy outside the Grotto Heaven to forcibly kill Li Yuanba.

The other was to bring Li Yuanba into the Grotto Heaven, to kill him within.

The latter method was the least laborious, and it was the choice of Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao.

Using the Cave Heaven Anchor Point Carrier, he pulled Li Yuanba into the Grotto Heaven, where he was the master, needing only the least amount of energy to kill Li Yuanba.

Of course, Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao did not know that he had brought Li Yuanba into the Grotto Heaven. If he had known, he would not have hesitated at all, but instead would have immediately used his strongest means to destroy Li Yuanba.

Now, Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao was still curious about what means Li Yuanba had used to slay Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s body with one strike.

Even though Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao had not been constantly focused on Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s situation, when two Peak Great Cultivators were preparing to drive away the other Great Cultivators, he did spare a bit of attention.

Little did he expect Li Yuanba’s attack to be so swift that even Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao could not react in time, and Great Cultivator Wei Lang’s body was obliterated.

As Li Yuanba’s mind stirred, the ’Eye of Storm’ appeared above his head, and a whirlwind composed of wind element energy enveloped him in protection.

This was his strongest defense, though he was unsure if it would withstand an attack from a Half-step Great Power.

"Eh, that’s the ’Eye of Storm’ of the Feiyu Sect; how did it end up in your hands?" Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao recognized the ’Eye of Storm’ above Li Yuanba’s head and asked in bewilderment.

Li Yuanba had no time to respond to him, instead summoning the Duke of Thunder.

As soon as the Duke of Thunder appeared, it vanished from its original spot.

After being brought into the Grotto Heaven, Li Yuanba discovered that the Divine Foot Skill couldn’t be used here.

But seeing the Duke of Thunder easily utilizing spatial abilities, it seemed that the restrictions here had little effect on it.

The Duke of Thunder’s figure appeared beside Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao, its ten sharp claws reaching for him.

"Imprison, space lock!" Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao exclaimed in surprise, disappearing from his original position, while shouting aloud.

By doing this, he was mobilizing the Grotto Heaven’s capabilities to fend off the Duke of Thunder’s attack.

This was his Grotto Heaven; although he did not possess space movement abilities in the outside world, within his own Grotto Heaven, he was the sovereign of this space, able to deploy space movement at will.

Space around the Duke of Thunder almost solidified.

But it didn’t hinder the Duke of Thunder; it vanished from its spot again, using space movement to reappear beside Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao.

Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao couldn’t comprehend what the Duke of Thunder was; at one point two meters tall, it had a pair of wings, yet the power it exhibited was at the same Half-step Great Power level.

It couldn’t be said that the Duke of Thunder was stronger than Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao, but they excelled in different aspects.

If it were a frontal fight, Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao would never allow the Duke of Thunder into his Grotto Heaven, as continuously mobilizing the Grotto Heaven’s power could leave the Duke of Thunder with no power to fight back.

The Duke of Thunder’s Half-step Great Power was reflective of its bodily constitution and attack power, reaching the level enough to harm a Half-step Great Power.

Unprepared, Half-step Great Power Zhao Zhao was targeted by the Duke of Thunder, whose space mastery was an innate talent, as natural as fish swimming or birds flying.
