Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Although the black hole behind Li Yun appeared calm and silent on the surface, the power hidden within it was incomparably violent.

The instant the one hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones entered the black hole, the hard crystals immediately became as fragile as tofu. An invisible devouring force crushed them apart almost instantly, causing the spirit stones to shatter into countless fragments.

The majestic qi contained within the stones burst out violently like a flood breaking through a dam.

However, before that massive amount of energy could spread outward, it was completely swallowed by the rotating black hole.

In merely five or six breaths of time, all of the energy contained within one hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones had been devoured completely.

Such a devouring speed was simply terrifying.

In the past, if Li Yun wished to absorb the energy from one hundred thousand mid grade spirit stones through normal cultivation methods, then even with his monstrous talent and cultivation speed of his three cultivation arts, it would still require at least half an incense stick of time.

Yet now, he only needed a few breaths.

And this was while Li Yun was not even fully activating the power of Devouring Intent. He had merely used a small portion of its strength.

More importantly, the Devouring Intent he currently possessed had only reached 20% source mastery.

An Intent at such a low realm already displayed such horrifying power.

Li Yun could hardly imagine what level this ability would eventually reach once his understanding of Devouring Intent continued deepening in the future.

At that time, perhaps even devouring the heavens themselves would not be impossible.

“Congratulations. You have successfully grasped a new Martial Dao Intent.”

At this moment, the voice of the small golden dragon slowly echoed throughout the Enlightenment Dragon Hall.

Li Yun withdrew the black hole behind him before smiling modestly.

“This is all thanks to the Enlightenment Dragon Hall,” he replied sincerely. “Without this place, it would have been almost impossible for me to comprehend Devouring Intent successfully.”

The golden dragon merely smiled calmly without saying much more.

Soon after, it spoke once again.

“You have already used your opportunity within the Enlightenment Dragon Hall. Do you wish to leave now?”

Li Yun immediately cupped his hands politely.

“I will have to trouble Your Excellency to send me out.”

Although the golden dragon was merely an artifact spirit, its intelligence was incredibly high and no different from that of a true intelligent lifeform. Because of this, Li Yun treated it with considerable respect.

After speaking, Li Yun could not help letting out a quiet sigh.

A trace of disappointment surfaced within his eyes as he muttered softly to himself.

“I spent nearly three months comprehending Devouring Intent inside the Enlightenment Dragon Hall. Although three months is neither too long nor too short, it should have been enough time for the martial artists within the Hidden Dragon Battlefield to completely sweep through the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm.”

Thinking about this, Li Yun felt somewhat regretful.

After all, entering the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm only to leave without obtaining any treasures naturally felt disappointing.

However, after taking a deep breath, Li Yun quickly shook his head and calmed himself down.

“One should not be too greedy,” he said inwardly. “Being able to comprehend Devouring Intent alone in three months is already an enormous fortune. I should be satisfied with this.”

Although Li Yun’s voice was extremely soft, the golden dragon still heard every word clearly.

The moment it heard him mention three months, the small golden dragon suddenly laughed.

“Kid,” it said amusedly, “you only stayed inside the Enlightenment Dragon Hall for three days, not three months.”

“Only three days? How is that even possible?”

The moment Li Yun heard those words, shock immediately appeared across his face.

He had clearly spent three entire months within the endless star river comprehending Devouring Intent. Every moment during that process had felt incomparably real, making it impossible for him to believe that only three days had actually passed in the outside world.

The small golden dragon laughed softly before explaining, “The functions of the Enlightenment Dragon Hall are not limited to comprehension and enlightenment alone. It also possesses the ability to alter the flow of time. One month spent inside the Enlightenment Dragon Hall is only equal to a single day in the outside world.”

Li Yun’s eyes widened instantly.

“To think such a miraculous place actually exists…”

The shock on his face deepened even further as countless thoughts surged through his mind.

“This already involves the legendary Time Intent. No… even the power of Time Intent should not be capable of stretching one day into an entire month so effortlessly. This must be a power that surpasses even Time Intent itself.”

Li Yun possessed a certain level of understanding regarding Martial Dao Intents.

He knew that the Intent Realm was divided into two major categories.

The first was Houtian Intent.

The second was Xiantian Intent.

Currently, all of Li Yun’s Martial Dao Intents remained within the Houtian stage. Only after completely mastering an Intent and reaching one hundred percent source mastery could one break through into the legendary Xiantian Intent Realm.

As for what existed beyond Xiantian Intent, Li Yun had absolutely no knowledge at all.

Thinking about this, Li Yun could not help sighing repeatedly in admiration.

The Dragon Emperor truly deserved his title.

To actually create a supreme treasure capable of manipulating the flow of time itself was simply heaven defying beyond imagination.

At the same time, Li Yun also felt pleasantly surprised.

Since only three days had passed in the outside world, it meant that the martial artists within the Hidden Dragon Battlefield could not possibly have fully explored the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm yet.

In other words, he still had enough time to compete for opportunities and treasures.

Just as Li Yun was thinking this, the golden dragon spoke once more.

“Kid, since you obtained one of the five prodigy spots, you naturally possess privileges that ordinary people inside the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm do not.”

Li Yun’s expression changed slightly as he listened carefully.

The golden dragon continued calmly, “For example, you were granted the qualification to enter the Enlightenment Dragon Hall and meditate once. In addition, after completing your enlightenment session, you may also request for me to teleport you to any location within the Dragon Emperor Secret Realm.”

“Teleport me to any location?”

Li Yun’s heart immediately stirred upon hearing those words.

Then, without hesitation, he quickly asked, “Can you teleport me directly to the place containing the Dragon Emperor’s Legacy?”

The golden dragon shook its head slowly.

“The Enlightenment Dragon Hall serves as the central hub of the entire Dragon Emperor Secret Realm. Theoretically speaking, it is indeed capable of teleporting you anywhere within this realm, including the location where Lord Dragon Emperor left behind his Legacy.”

As it spoke, the dragon paused briefly before continuing.

“However, Lord Dragon Emperor personally established extremely powerful restrictions around the Legacy site. That location can only be entered through a special method, so even I cannot directly send you there.”

Hearing this, Li Yun felt somewhat disappointed.

However, before he could say anything, the golden dragon spoke once again.

“Although I cannot teleport you directly to Lord Dragon Emperor’s Legacy, I can still send you to the inheritance grounds left behind by the many Heavenly Core Realm experts who once served under Lord Dragon Emperor.”
