Chapter 569: Slaying the Nascent Soul
Hundred Refinement Sect, Li Yuanba learned from his main form, Li Shiming, that this is a medium-sized artifact refining sect on the Dongqi Continent.
Don't underestimate a medium-sized sect; in the Dongqi Continent, their strength often surpasses that of major sects on the Beishu Continent.
Li Yuanba saw that further explanation was useless; the 'Six Yang Spirit Fire' must be the extremely Yang-oriented Spirit Fire that he recently recognized as his own.
Even if he returned the 'Six Yang Spirit Fire' now, they most likely wouldn't spare him.
Especially since he upgraded the 'Six Yang Spirit Fire' to the peak of Third Grade, and it perfectly matches the 'Xuanyin Ghost Fire' as Yin and Yang, proving extremely important to him.
Li Yuanba took out the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'; he needed to swiftly deal with the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators before facing the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner, Ancestor Song.
With the formation of the cave mansion, although the formation is not very formidable, it can temporarily withstand the pressure of a Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner, allowing him to first eliminate the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators inside the mansion, preventing them from affecting him during the battle with the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner.
Without leaving the cave, he must slay the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators instantly, otherwise, the Nascent Soul Early Stage practitioner will become alerted and fend off his attack.
He lightly tapped a finger on the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'; the ten thousand flying swords inside it, recently nurtured, began to vibrate.
"Release all swords, annihilate!" he whispered softly, then waved his hand forcefully, directing the swords towards the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators outside the mansion.
The ten thousand flying swords from the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak', drawn by his aura, shot out from the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'.
Actually, these ten thousand flying swords are not physical swords but energy-converted flying swords because many Fourth-grade Flying Swords were disassembled to enhance the quality of these energy-converted swords.
The Sword Intent inside them, due to the short nurturing period, barely reached the level close to Fourth-grade Sword Intent.
However, five of the flying swords, transformed by 'Flowing Light Star Meteor', contained genuine Fourth-grade Sword Intent, and were imbued with powerful 'Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent'.
This is the reason why Li Yuanba didn't refine 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' into his own flying sword but included it in the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak'; doing so allows him to still utilize them and continually enhance the Sword Intent within other flying swords.
The ten thousand flying swords, led by the five 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords, shot forth.
Due to their energy-converted nature, the ten thousand flying swords penetrated through the stone walls of the cave mansion without damaging them.
Outside, the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators were calculating how to break open the cave mansion.
They couldn't possibly let Ancestor Song deal with Zhang Tieshan when they held absolute advantage.
Ancestor Song, considering his status, was here to prevent Zhang Tieshan from escaping with some backup plan; he was a precautionary measure and wouldn't engage in the battle with Golden Core cultivators.
Just as the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators were exchanging ideas, they suddenly sensed something and involuntarily looked towards the cave mansion.
"Watch out, retreat quickly!" Ancestor Song was the first to recognize the danger, shouting a warning while attempting to approach.
But it all happened too quickly; countless flying swords shot out from the cave mansion aimed at the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
The four late-stage Golden Core cultivators were prepared for combat and promptly summoned their defensive magical treasures.
Yet, these defensive treasures were instantly pierced by 'Flowing Light Star Meteor', losing their spirituality, and subsequently being pierced repeatedly by the following flying swords.
The four defensive treasures didn't withstand even a brief moment before being shattered into fragments.
The four late-stage Golden Core cultivators didn't even manage to cry out before their bodies, like their defensive treasures, were reduced to fragments.
Honestly, Li Yuanba using the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak's' full barrage against four late-stage Golden Core cultivators felt like employing a cannon to swat mosquitoes.
Even without the full barrage, just invoking a few 'Flowing Light Star Meteor' swords would have sufficed to slay the four late-stage Golden Core cultivators.
He utilized the 'Ten Thousand Sword Peak' to gain actual combat experience.
"How dare you!" Ancestor Song roared furiously.
He had thoroughly lost face; under his leadership, all four late-stage Golden Core cultivators were slain, making it difficult for him to report back.
The sect wouldn't send anyone to trouble him, but facing the sect's cultivators would be unbearable.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator leading four late-stage Golden Core cultivators against a single Golden Core practitioner, causing four cultivators to perish was inexplicable.
Naturally, Ancestor Song's wrath was terrifying.
Even without using his Nascent Soul Dharma Form, a casual strike broke apart the cave mansion's formation instantly, destroying not just the formation but several walls, revealing the mansion's interior.
Before the attack commenced, Li Yuanba left the cave using 'Step by Step Ascending Lotus' while the formation was intact.
He left the Golden Corpse Black Shield inside the mansion, simultaneously imprinting a Sword Intent onto the Golden Corpse Black Shield.
The formation was intact upon his departure, and these actions were concealed by the formation.
Thus, when Ancestor Song breached the mansion, he perceived the Golden Corpse Black Shield along with the Sword Intent on it, which was highly deceiving, initially leading him to believe the Golden Corpse Black Shield was the practitioner who launched the attack with countless flying swords.
Of course, with Ancestor Song's strength, he'd discern the true identity of the Golden Corpse Black Shield using his Divine Sense in just a moment.
