Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

“The first round of the Top Ten Battle has concluded. Li Yun is victorious. He replaces Jin Yuanguang and rises to the position of third strongest on the Top Ten Ranking!”

The announcement echoed clearly across the arena as the Martial Ascension Gate deacon stepped forward to declare the result.

Afterward, the deacon turned his gaze toward Li Yun and asked in a steady voice, “Li Yun, do you wish to continue challenging? If you choose not to, your position as the third strongest will be confirmed.”

“Of course I will continue.”

Li Yun nodded with a faint smile, his tone calm yet resolute. His goal had never been the third position. From the very beginning, his eyes had been fixed on the very top.

Having already defeated Jin Yuanguang and secured the third rank, the next opponent before him was Mo Chuxue, the second strongest. If he could overcome her as well, he would earn the right to face Xiao Fanyun and compete for the first position on the entire ranking.

“Senior Sister Mo, please guide me.”

With that, Li Yun lifted his gaze toward the figure seated among the top ten. She appeared like an immortal draped in white, her presence cold and distant, like an Ice Fairy untouched by the mortal world.

Mo Chuxue slowly rose to her feet. A faint breath escaped her lips, soft as an orchid’s fragrance, yet carrying a chill that seeped into the air. As she stepped forward, points of frost appeared beneath her feet, freezing the empty space itself and forming a staircase of ice. With each graceful step, she descended, her movements elegant and composed.

The sight was breathtaking, as though a celestial maiden from the moon had descended into the mortal realm.

Even Li Yun felt a brief flicker of admiration in his eyes, but it vanished almost instantly. His expression steadied, and that fleeting appreciation was replaced by sharp focus and vigilance.

From that simple display alone, he had already sensed the depth of Mo Chuxue’s strength. She was undoubtedly far stronger than Jin Yuanguang, a truly formidable opponent who could not be underestimated.

“Very well. Mo Chuxue has accepted the challenge. The match may begin.”

Seeing her step onto the arena, the Martial Ascension Gate deacon withdrew to the side and formally announced the start of the battle.

“Junior Brother Li, I am about to attack, so be careful,” Mo Chuxue said in a calm and indifferent tone as a vast cold qi spread across the arena, causing the temperature to drop sharply while a thin layer of frost rapidly formed on the ground beneath her feet.

Her figure moved the moment she finished speaking, and with a light step that seemed almost weightless, she left behind a hazy white afterimage as she closed the distance in an instant.

“Frigid Palm.”

Her jade-like hand shot forward with terrifying speed, carrying a freezing aura so intense that it seemed capable of sealing everything in ice, and before the palm even reached him, Li Yun could already feel the bone chilling cold invading his body as frost began to spread across his skin and even the circulation of his qi slowed under the pressure.

Li Yun’s expression turned serious as he understood clearly that this attack was far more dangerous than anything he had faced before, and that if he allowed it to land directly, the outcome would be disastrous.

Without hesitation, he activated the Raging Wind Tiger Art, and his body shifted like a violent gust of wind as he adjusted his position while raising his sword.

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

His blade descended with overwhelming force, and a tyrannical aura erupted outward as his sword qi collided directly with the incoming palm strike, causing a violent explosion that shattered the frost spreading across his body and sent waves of cold qi dispersing in all directions.

Mo Chuxue’s figure drifted backward gracefully as if she were unaffected by the collision, yet a trace of seriousness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun did not give her any time to recover as his movements flowed seamlessly into the next attack, and with a single step forward, his sword swept across the air.

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

A vast arc of sword qi surged outward, carrying a dominating force that pressed down upon everything in its path, and at the same time Li Yun infused the strike with ten percent mastery of wind, flame, and lightning intent, causing the sword qi to carry the sharpness of raging wind, the explosive force of lightning, and the steady destructive heat of flames.

The combined power of the three elements caused the attack to grow far more terrifying as it advanced toward Mo Chuxue.

Mo Chuxue’s gaze sharpened as she raised her white treasured sword and responded instantly.

“Snowfall.”

With a single motion, countless snowflakes filled the air, each one carrying dense cold qi as they surged forward to form a defensive layer that intercepted Li Yun’s attack.

The moment the two forces collided, a violent explosion erupted as lightning crackled, flames burned, and frost spread outward at the same time, creating a chaotic scene where opposing forces clashed against each other relentlessly.

Although Li Yun’s attack was powerful, the endless snowflakes carried a terrifying freezing force that gradually suppressed the three elements, freezing the lightning, extinguishing the flames, and dispersing the remaining force.

Li Yun’s eyes lit up with excitement as he witnessed her control over such power, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward again with increasing momentum.

At that moment, Mo Chuxue’s aura suddenly changed as a strange and ancient fluctuation spread from her body, and the power within her surged dramatically.

“The bloodline of the Ancient Ice Clan,” Li Yun said as his pupils contracted slightly, recognizing the change instantly.

Mo Chuxue nodded calmly as she responded, “You have good insight, but this alone is not enough, so I will not hold back.”

Her hands moved gracefully as she formed a series of seals, and in the next moment a vast world of ice and snow spread across the battlefield, transforming the entire arena into a frozen domain as her Ice and Snow Intent erupted with ten percent mastery.

Within this domain, her presence became even more terrifying as she stood like a goddess of ice, cold and untouchable.

“Great Snowfall.”

A massive wave of white palm prints descended from the sky, each one carrying an overwhelming cold that seemed capable of freezing everything in its path as they surged toward Li Yun in an unstoppable torrent.

Li Yun looked up at the incoming attack with a calm expression as his aura surged once again, and without the slightest hesitation, he gathered the three intents of wind, flame, and lightning around his blade, each controlled at ten percent mastery as they fused seamlessly into his sword.

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

The first strike surged upward with explosive force, tearing through the descending palm prints as lightning roared, flames burned fiercely, and wind split apart the frozen air, causing countless palm prints to shatter in a violent explosion.

Without pausing for even a moment, Li Yun continued his assault as his sword moved once more.

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

His blade swept across the sky, releasing a vast wave of fused sword qi that surged forward like an unstoppable tide, destroying the remaining palm prints and forcing the frozen domain itself to tremble under its overwhelming dominance.

Mo Chuxue’s expression finally changed as she felt the pressure of his relentless attacks, and before she could fully stabilize herself, Li Yun unleashed his final move.
