It becomes much easier for the Artifact Spirit to set up a formation. As long as the Artifact Spirit learns the formation that needs to be arranged beforehand and practices several times, it can be done without any mistakes.
The Artifact Spirit of a spiritual treasure possesses extremely high wisdom. Although the spiritual treasure āTen Thousand Sword Peakā has become a spiritual treasure too recently for the Artifact Spirit to develop, setting up a formation is still not a problem.
Consider those Artifact Spirits managing the Grotto Heaven; they have to control all the formations of the Grotto Heaven and manage important buildings like the Book Collection Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion when needed, which is many times more complex than merely setting up a formation.
The isolating formation formed by eight thousand energy-converted Flying Swords isolates two thousand truly powerful energy-converted Flying Swords.
The energy-converted Flying Swords containing the Sword Intent of a Great Cultivator aim to slay the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
And the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās greatest speed is severely affected by the gravity field, rendering it unable to dodge the attacks of the energy-converted Flying Swords.
The first energy-converted Flying Sword imbued with Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent cuts onto the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, leaving a shallow wound on its skin.
Li Yuanba breathes a sigh of relief; as long as the defense can be breached, thereās no need to worry about the rest.
Subsequent energy-converted Flying Swords imbued with Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent continue attacking the same spot, and the wound on the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās body keeps expanding and deepening.
However, the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature is extremely tough, and finally reacts after being targeted by over a hundred energy-converted Flying Swords containing Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent.
A surge of black evil energy gathers, forming a black shield positioned over its wound.
Meanwhile, it keeps increasing its struggle, trying to break free from the gravity fieldās suppression.
Li Yuanba indeed has quite a gap with the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās realm, and he hasnāt suppressed the āTen Thousand Sword Peakā quality to the top level of Fourth Grade, unable to unleash the full power of āTen Thousand Sword Peakā, causing the gravity field to become unstable under the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās struggle.
The gravity field is on the verge of being broken away from by the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature if this continues.
If the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās speed is unleashed, even using āTen Thousand Swords Strikeā, Li Yuanba cannot match the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās speed.
Glints flash in Li Yuanbaās eyes; he marshals a great amount of Spirit and waves his hand at āTen Thousand Sword Peakā.
"Cut!"
With this furious shout, the sole energy-converted Flying Sword transformed from Sword Cultivator Great Cultivatorās Lifebound Flying Sword, imbued with Master Ge Guangās āSoul-shocker Sword Intentā, pauses mid-air.
A hundred energy-converted Flying Swords containing Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent adhere to this Sword Cultivator Great Cultivatorās Lifebound Flying Sword, creating a gigantic energy-converted Flying Sword many times larger than the other energy-converted Flying Swords.
This gigantic energy-converted Flying Sword slashes toward the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, breaking through the evil energy used as a shield by the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
This evil energy shield is extremely sturdy, and advancing even a little consumes several energy-converted Flying Swordsā Great Cultivator Sword Intent.
However, a hundred energy-converted Flying Swords containing Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent suffice for this gigantic energy Flying Sword to penetrate the evil energy shield.
When the energy-converted Flying Sword strikes the deep wound on the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature, the swordās body shrinks considerably, leaving only a dozen energy-converted Flying Swords with the Sword Cultivator Great Cultivatorās Lifebound Flying Sword.
But thatās enough; the Lifebound Flying Sword obtained from the slain Master Ge Guang in āTen Thousand Sword Peakā is the strongest energy-converted Flying Sword there.
Even the five energy-converted Flying Swords imbued with the Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent personally empowered by Sword Elder pale in comparison to this Lifebound Flying Sword, not because Master Ge Guangās skill is superior, but because this Lifebound Flying Sword was nurtured by Master Ge Guang for a millennium.
The other energy Flying Swords containing Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent, however, were made in a short time, incomparable.
As for those two thousand energy-converted Flying Swords with Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent obtained from the Grotto Heaven, they are merely one of many portions of the Sword Intent left behind by Great Cultivators and cannot compare with the Lifebound Flying Sword of Master Ge Guang.
Master Ge Guangās Lifebound Flying Sword deeply pierces into the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās body, unleashing āSoul-shocker Sword Intentā inside.
The Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature emits a mournful scream. Despite being unable to feel pain, it cannot shield itself from the spiritual anguish.
A breach is opened by Master Ge Guangās Lifebound Flying Sword, followed by hundreds of energy-converted Flying Swords with Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent stabbing into the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creatureās body.
This time, the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature doesnāt scream, as such a vast quantity of energy-converted Flying Swords with Great Cultivatorās Sword Intent thoroughly extinguishes its vitality.
The corpse of the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature turns to ash, leaving behind a āHell Disgust Crystal Essenceā glowing faintly on the spot.
Li Yuanba retrieves a specially-made jade box and stores the āHell Disgust Crystal Essenceā.
Only by this time have Great Cultivator Lou and Grandmaster Wu not resolved their battle on the other side.
The Sword Cultivators, witnessing this scene, are all stunned; what did they see? Likewise fighting Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings, the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators began battling first.
Li Yuanba engaged in combat against Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Beings quite some time later, yet he concluded his battle ahead.
Momentarily, the Sword Cultivators find it hard to accept the scene before them.
Although through numerous rumors and Li Yuanbaās records, theyāve learned Li Yuanbaās capability to slay Great Cultivators, yet in their view, Li Yuanba must possess some sort of special means to slay Great Cultivators.
But in Li Yuanbaās combat against a Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature happening right before their eyes, every Sword Cultivator sees plainly that Li Yuanba hasnāt utilized any unconventional method.
The only thing used was āTen Thousand Sword Peakā, a treasure considerably familiar to many Sword Cultivators.
The reason it feels familiar is that many Sword Cultivators among them provided sword-intent Flying Swords for āTen Thousand Sword Peakā.
Although āTen Thousand Sword Peakā is exceedingly exceptional, in their view, it is like a Sword Gourd or Sword Box treasure, an artifact specialized for controlling numerous Flying Swords.
Yet unexpectedly, Li Yuanba used āTen Thousand Sword Peakā to effortlessly slay the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Horse Head Creature.
Elsewhere, Great Cultivator Lou erupted with terrifying cross-cutting Sword Intent, Grandmaster Wuās Lifebound Flying Sword also held nothing back, under their sudden assault, the original retreating Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Creature could not sustain long, hence was slain by the two Sword Cultivator Great Cultivators.
Neither Great Cultivator Lou nor Grandmaster Wu felt any joy; they exchanged glances and gave a helpless wry smile.
Itās their first time witnessing Li Yuanbaās prowess, and the methods Li Yuanba employed are unprecedented for them, not matching the āChaos Sword Intentā theyād imagined.
Li Yuanba didnāt even employ his own Lifebound Flying Sword, instead, just using āTen Thousand Sword Peakā to resolve the conflict.
From this, they could infer Li Yuanba possesses two methods threatening Great Cultivatorsāa āXingyi Swordā imbued with āChaos Sword Intentā, and the mysterious āTen Thousand Sword Peakā.
In their view, āTen Thousand Sword Peakā might pose an even greater threat.
Because even though the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Creatureās offensive means were singular, it had defensive capabilities surpassing typical Great Cultivators, making it difficult to kill the Fourth Grade Late Stage Hell Creatures.
Certainly, they are well aware that āTen Thousand Sword Peakās combat ability is not a capability for sustained engagements.
