Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

As he said those words, Shen Feng became serious. From their first exchange, it became clear to him that he had hit a wall this time.

But whether it was an unbreakable wall or a weak wall pretending to be unbroken would depend on his strength.

“Ninefold Golden Demon Skill!”

Shen Feng roared, and boundless golden radiance erupted from his body as if a volcano had exploded. The light surged upward and condensed into nine radiant golden halos that slowly revolved behind his head.

The golden glow rippled through the air, carrying an overwhelming sense of majesty. Bathed in that blazing light, Shen Feng looked like a divine war god forged from gold itself.

Powerful waves of aura rolled out from his body like a raging tempest, shaking the surrounding space and making the ground beneath tremble.

“The last time I saw Shen Feng, his Ninefold Golden Demon Skill had only reached the eighth level, yet even then he could defeat opponents of the same realm within ten moves. Now that he has cultivated it to the ninth and final level, its power must be far more terrifying!”

“With this level of mastery, Shen Feng already has the strength to challenge for a place within the top five of the New Disciples Ranking!”

The Ninefold Golden Demon Skill possessed nine distinct realms, each represented by a golden halo. One halo signified one realm, and the presence of nine halos behind Shen Feng’s head clearly showed that he had perfected this body refining art.

The young geniuses watching could not help but gasp, shock written plainly across their faces.

“It really is a formidable body refining cultivation technique,” Li Yun murmured to himself. He paid no attention to Shen Feng’s taunts and calmly put away the sword in his hand.

“You put away your weapon?” Shen Feng sneered when he saw this. “So you intend to surrender and admit defeat? I thought you were arrogant, but it turns out you are nothing more than a coward who backs down the moment he sees true strength.”

“Surrender?” Li Yun laughed lightly. “You are overthinking it.”

He stretched his body, his bones cracking softly as he loosened his limbs. Then he looked up at Shen Feng with a broad grin. “I also cultivate a body refining art. Seeing how powerful your Ninefold Golden Demon Skill is has stirred my interest. I want to see whether your technique is stronger, or if mine is the one that truly dominates.”

“Golden Battle Body, fourth stage!”

As his words rang out, Li Yun’s body shuddered violently. Brilliant golden light burst from him and shot into the sky. In an instant, his figure turned completely golden, mirroring Shen Feng yet radiating an even fiercer presence.

He stomped heavily on the ground, and his body soared upward like a dragon taking flight. Wrapped in overwhelming aura, he charged straight toward Shen Feng.

“Competing with me in body refining?” Shen Feng scoffed, his voice filled with disdain as he looked down at the charging Li Yun. “You really are an overconfident fool.”

He snorted coldly and continued, “I cannot speak for other paths, but when it comes to body refining cultivation techniques, I dare say that within the Eternal Sky Secret Realm, aside from Lu Changsan, who cultivates the Black Demon Battle Body, no one is a match for me. An unknown nobody like you actually dares to challenge me in body refining. It is truly laughable.”

As his words fell, Shen Feng drew back his arm and hurled a punch toward Li Yun. Blazing golden light erupted from his fist like a surging tide, ferocious and terrifying, causing the hearts of those watching to tremble. That punch carried enough power to directly kill a Xiantian Realm third-level expert.

“Perfect timing!”

Li Yun roared without the slightest fear. He answered with a punch of his own, and brilliant golden fist light burst forth.

Boom.

Before the horrified eyes of the crowd, the two fists collided like falling meteors, unleashing an indescribably violent impact.

In that instant, blinding light and terrifying aura exploded outward from the point of collision.

The sky shook, the ground quaked, and the mountain beneath them split apart as hideous cracks spread under the overwhelming shockwaves. It felt as though the entire mountain might collapse at any moment.

“So terrifying!”

Several unlucky young geniuses were brushed by the aftershocks of the clash and immediately spat blood, suffering serious injuries.

Everyone retreated in panic.

They no longer had the courage to watch such a battle up close, let alone interfere.

“Ah!”

Just as the crowd pulled back to a safer distance, a scream rang out from within the blazing light.

All eyes immediately turned toward the source, desperate to see the outcome of the clash.

A moment later, a bloodied figure burst out from the dazzling radiance, staggering backward while coughing up blood.

“This is…”

“Shen Feng!”

When they recognized the figure, cries of disbelief erupted. It was none other than Shen Feng, one of the top ten on the New Disciples Ranking.

“How is this possible?”

The spectators could not accept what they were seeing, and Shen Feng himself was even more unable to believe it.

The arrogance on his face had vanished completely, replaced by deep, uncontrollable horror.

He simply could not comprehend how he, a top ten genius on the New Disciples Ranking, had been defeated head-on by an unknown nobody, and in the very area he took the greatest pride in, his physical body.

Even the bones in the arm he had used to clash with Li Yun were fractured and badly injured.

“Even Lu Changsan could not suppress me in a direct clash of physical bodies, let alone injure me. That was absolutely impossible.”

Yet this youth had done exactly that.

A terrifying thought surfaced in Shen Feng’s mind, one he stubbornly refused to accept.

“Could his physical body actually be stronger than Lu Changsan’s, who cultivates the formidable Black Demon Battle Body? How could such a thing be possible?”

The idea itself felt absurd to him.

“This Shen Feng has cultivated the Ninefold Golden Demon Skill to the peak ninth realm, yet he still collapsed at the first exchange against my Golden Battle Body Art. It seems the techniques father left behind in his storage ring truly cannot be underestimated.”

Li Yun was also taken aback by the terrifying power contained within his Golden Battle Body. He glanced at Shen Feng and shook his head with clear disappointment.

“It seems that within this Eternal Sky Secret Realm, only Lu Changsan, who cultivates the Black Demon Battle Body, is qualified to contend with me in terms of physical strength.”

He had originally planned to use Shen Feng to test the true limits of his Golden Battle Body, but instead, this seemingly fierce opponent had crumbled after a single head-on clash. The result left Li Yun genuinely dissatisfied.

“Don’t look down on me!”

Li Yun’s disappointed tone struck Shen Feng like a blade. The humiliation ignited his fury completely.

He roared toward the heavens, and an even more dazzling golden light than before erupted from his body, surging outward like an erupting volcano.

Despite his rage, Shen Feng had not lost his clarity of mind.

From their previous exchange, he already understood how terrifying Li Yun was. This time, he intended to strike with everything he had, crushing Li Yun in a single blow, reversing the situation, and erasing his shame.

“Hmph!”

Shen Feng let out another thunderous roar as his hands formed a fist seal and punched into the air.

Violent qi exploded outward, obliterating all the air within dozens of meters in front of him. Endless golden radiance poured from his fist like a raging river, weaving and surging through the sky before finally converging.

It was as though a golden sun had appeared overhead, its brilliance spreading freely across the heavens.

An unseen force seemed to seize that golden radiance and compress it again and again, until it took the shape of a huge golden mountain.

“This is Shen Feng’s strongest ultimate move, the Golden Overlord Seal! It’s a 4th tier secret art!”

“I once saw him use this technique to suppress a Xiantian Realm fourth-level expert head-on. Its power was absolutely terrifying!”

“I wonder if that kid can withstand it. He probably cannot, but forcing Shen Feng to this extent is already something to be proud of.”

The young geniuses present all drew sharp breaths as they recognized the technique Shen Feng had unleashed. Under the crushing pressure of the golden seal, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

“This martial skill is quite interesting.”

As this thought crossed Li Yun’s mind, several missions suddenly appeared before him one after another.
