The âHeavenly Compassâ is extremely important to Li Yuanba, or to his true self, Li Shiming, as it purifies the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ and can even condense it by absorbing radiation.
According to the information provided by the Artifact Spirit, Li Yuanba knows that the âHeavenly Compassâ can purify the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ further, beyond just producing it.
The former master of the Hell Cave Heaven was satisfied with the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ and didnât have the desire to purify it further.
Li Yuanba feels pleased; he discovers that the âHeavenly Compassâ addresses the basic material problem for creating a nuclear explosion.
Of course, even with the âHeavenly Compassâ, it will take a long time to purify the âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ to weapon-grade levels.
Moreover, although he obtained a considerable amount of âHell Disgust Crystal Essenceâ this time, according to calculations from the IBMz15, after purification to weapon-grade material, it would provide enough for at most two nuclear explosions.
With a gesture, he summons the âHeavenly Compassâ, which automatically shrinks and flies into his hand.
The reason the âHeavenly Compassâ can ignore radiation is due to special rules added by the great power during its manufacturing, and because the âHeavenly Compassâ is a Spirit Treasure, which has strong resistance to radiation, even to the point of being unaffected by it.
Li Yuanba is very careful as he collects the âHeavenly Compassâ, staying aware of any changes within the Hell Cave Heaven.
He fears that by removing the Cave Heaven Core, the already unstable Hell Cave Heaven might collapse.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected occurs, and the âHeavenly Compassâ is safely collected.
He restores the ground and turns to fly towards the spatial rift.
"I am Li Yuanba. Just now, three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect attacked me. Please observe the conflict between the White Emperor Sect and myself!" Li Yuanba says over the Great Cultivator communication channel as he approaches the spatial rift.
"White Emperor Sect, youâre courting death!" Before any other Great Cultivator can respond, Great Cultivator Lou bellows.
Immediately, the three hundred Nascent Soul Middle Stage Sword Cultivators of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, along with three Great Sword Cultivators, activate their Sword Intent, targeting the White Emperor Sectâs team.
The three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect had just returned and had not informed their Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners.
Suddenly locked onto by the Sword Intent of the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs cultivators, the White Emperor Sectâs practitioners are panicked â one side is prepared, the other caught off guard.
"Strike!" While other Great Cultivators contemplate mediation, Great Cultivator Lou gives the command.
This time, unlike the previous battle against Hell creatures, every Sword Cultivator unleashes their Lifebound Flying Sword, each carrying different Sword Intents with indescribable might, slashing towards the White Emperor Sectâs practitioners.
The Lifebound Flying Swords of the three Great Sword Cultivators target the three Great Cultivators of the White Emperor Sect, leaving them unable to protect their fellow practitioners and forcing them to summon Mountain Peak Treasures for defense.
The chaotic battle erupts in an instant, showcasing the decisiveness of the Sword Cultivators to all present.
Master Wang He frowns but says nothing, as he has a peace contract with Li Yuanba, prohibiting him from making a move against Li Yuanba in the Hell Cave Heaven.
As for the White Emperor Sectâs safety, itâs no concern of his.
The White Emperor Sect and Yuqing Sect are both superpowers of the West Yan Continent, in constant competition â now, with Yuqing Sect having lost two Great Cultivators, if the White Emperor Sect doesnât lose a few, the power balance will be upset.
This is a malicious intent in Master Wang Heâs mind, and as long as he doesnât intervene, this result is very likely.
Since the White Emperor Sect hadnât sent any Great Cultivator with âInvisible Primordial Magnetismâ Divine Skills, and because the battle in Hell Cave Heaven didnât necessitate it, the White Emperor Sect lacks the strongest counter against Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs attacks.
Old grudges between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and the White Emperor Sect mean the Sword Cultivators seize any opportunity to attack the White Emperor Sectâs practitioners eagerly.
"Lou, what do you intend to do?" a Great Cultivator from the White Emperor Sect cries out in alarm.
"What do I intend? If itâs permissible for your side to act, why shouldnât Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion do the same?" retorts Great Cultivator Lou as he intensifies the attack.
Seeing Master Wang Heâs lack of intervention and recalling Li Yuanbaâs earlier alert over the Great Cultivator communication channel, these superpowers find no reason nor desire to interfere.
From the onset, the White Emperor Sect suffers casualties, with dozens of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners severely injured.
On the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilionâs side, the White Emperor Sectâs counterattacks similarly result in injuries to over ten Sword Cultivators.
However, the nature of the injuries is completely different â wounded Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners from the White Emperor Sect are unable to continue fighting, always at risk of being fatally struck by battle aftershocks.
Every practitioner from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion is fortified with Li Yuanbaâs âInnate Woodâ Divine Skill; upon being attacked, the âInnate Woodâ Divine Power Energy within them automatically repairs their injuries.
As the battle between Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion and White Emperor Sect drags on, their combat strength changes significantly over time.
