Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

As the attack closed in, Li Yun tightened his fist and drew in all three of his intents. Flame, wind, and lightning surged together, merging into a single overwhelming force within his arm. Without hesitation, he unleashed his technique.

“Heavenstorm Blazing Fist!”

Boom!

The moment the two attacks collided, a violent explosion erupted. A visible wave of energy burst outward from the point of impact like a raging tide. The air trembled as though it could no longer bear the pressure, and the ground beneath them shook violently.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures were thrown back from the center of the explosion. They slid across dozens of meters before pushing off the air itself and charging toward each other again without pause.

One figure was wrapped in a chaotic stream of energy, while the other was cloaked in blazing golden light. Their movements carved brilliant trails across the sky, like two meteors descending from the heavens as they clashed once more in a dazzling collision.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their exchange was so fast that only a handful of the strongest disciples could follow it clearly. Within just a few breaths, they had already traded dozens of blows. Every impact created rippling rings of energy that spread outward through the air.

“This battle is truly extraordinary.”

“No wonder Li Yun dared to challenge Jin Yuanguang. His strength clearly goes far beyond his cultivation level.”

“It is like a clash between two unstoppable forces.”

Most of the disciples could not fully grasp what was happening, yet their excitement only grew stronger. Their eyes were wide, their attention completely fixed on the battlefield, hoping to catch even a glimpse of the exchange. Even a small insight gained from such a fight could bring immense benefit to them.

Rumble!

Under countless gazes, Li Yun and Jin Yuanguang collided once again before being forced apart. Both figures were sent flying backward, their feet stepping across the air as they retreated, leaving long trails of rippling energy behind them as though they were walking across waves.

“What kind of monster is this Li Yun?”

Jin Yuanguang steadied himself, and the disdain that once lingered on his face had completely vanished. In its place, a rare seriousness appeared. “He is only at the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm, yet he can fight me to a standstill. Even though I have only used sixty percent of my strength, this is still unbelievable.”

Through their exchange, he had already realized that Li Yun could not be judged by cultivation alone. His opponent’s strength far exceeded what his realm suggested.

Even so, Jin Yuanguang did not feel threatened. He knew he had not yet revealed his full power. As long as he fought seriously, he believed victory was certain.

Taking a deep breath, a cold smile slowly formed on his lips. “Li Yun, your strength is indeed impressive. If you stood at the same realm as me, perhaps I would be the one to lose. But the world does not deal in possibilities. No matter how strong you are, you remain a Xiantian Realm cultivator, while I have already stepped into the Qi Sea Realm. Now, I will show you the true terror of that difference.”

As someone who had already reached the Qi Sea Realm, Jin Yuanguang’s pride would not allow this battle to continue any longer on equal footing. Being forced into such a situation by a lower realm opponent was already a stain on his dignity. He had no intention of prolonging the fight.

Whoosh!

As his words fell, an immense surge of golden Qi erupted from his body. It spread outward in all directions, filling the sky within a radius of a hundred meters. The golden energy churned like a vast ocean, radiating a terrifying and oppressive aura.

“Is he finally using his full strength?”

“He was already so powerful with only sixty percent of his strength. If he goes all out, how terrifying will that be?”

“It seems Li Yun is about to lose. Still, forcing Jin Yuanguang to this point in his first Four Peaks Tournament is already an extraordinary achievement.”

The crowd could not help but exclaim as they felt the overwhelming pressure of the golden energy.

“Golden Light Heaven-Breaking Sword!”

With a low shout, Jin Yuanguang unleashed his full power. His Sword Intent and Gold Intent, both at ten percent mastery, surged together and fused into a single devastating force. The aura that emerged carried a destructive sharpness that seemed capable of tearing apart the heavens themselves.

The vast golden energy surrounding him began to compress rapidly. Within a single breath, it condensed into a magnificent golden sword, radiating a brilliant halo that illuminated the entire arena.

Jin Yuanguang raised his hand and gripped the invisible hilt. With a single motion, he swung the enormous sword forward, leaving behind a dazzling arc of golden light.

Rip!

Before the blade even descended, the sword qi alone tore open the ground beneath it, leaving behind a deep and jagged scar that stretched across the arena.

The golden giant sword tore through the air with overwhelming force, its brilliance dazzling as it descended with a pressure so immense that even a First Level Qi Sea Realm expert would struggle to withstand it.

“This is good. This is very good,” Li Yun said, his voice calm and steady as a faint smile appeared on his lips.

There was not even the slightest trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at the incoming attack, and instead there was a quiet confidence that made the surrounding disciples feel a chill in their hearts.

“He has not even used his full strength yet?”

“How is that even possible when he is only at the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm?”

The shock in the crowd continued to grow as they tried to comprehend the scene before them.

At that moment, Li Yun finally moved, and his figure blurred forward with astonishing speed as his aura surged sharply upward. This was Li Yun’s first time using Raging Wind Tiger Art with 10% Wind Intent and the result was impressive. His movement speed increased by many times.

Without any hesitation, he raised his sword and struck.

“Overlord Sword Art – Tyrant’s Crushing Slash.”

The moment his blade descended, a terrifying force erupted outward, and the sword qi carried a crushing authority that felt as if a tyrant had descended upon the battlefield to suppress everything in his path.

The air trembled violently as his strike collided head on with the incoming golden giant sword, and the two forces clashed in a violent explosion that shook the sky.

The golden sword began to crack under the immense pressure, and fractures spread rapidly across its surface before it shattered completely into countless fragments of golden light.

Jin Yuanguang’s expression changed the instant he saw his attack destroyed so forcefully.

Before he could even stabilize himself, Li Yun had already moved again, and his movements flowed seamlessly without giving his opponent even the slightest chance to recover.

“Overlord Sword Art – Monarch’s Dominion Sweep.”

His sword swept across the air in a wide arc, and a vast wave of sword qi surged forward like the will of a ruler dominating everything beneath him.

The pressure contained within the strike caused the surrounding air to bend as it advanced toward Jin Yuanguang with unstoppable force.
