Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Unfortunately for the Flame Giant, the opponent it encountered was Li Yun.

The martial techniques Li Yun cultivated were simply far too terrifying. Their destructive power was so overwhelming that they could annihilate the Flame Giant completely before it even had the opportunity to recover and grow stronger.

The Flame King himself probably never imagined that the trial he had painstakingly designed would one day be broken so directly and forcefully by someone like Li Yun.

Although the world-destroying black dragon had blasted the Flame Giant entirely into pieces, not everything had been destroyed completely.

At the place where the Flame Giant collapsed, a silver crystal shaped like a beating heart slowly floated in the air.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

The crystal pulsed rhythmically as though it were truly alive while streams of fierce silver light continuously flowed across its surface.

Li Yun’s eyes immediately narrowed.

“So this is the true Flame King Legacy?”

Without hesitation, Li Yun slowly walked forward and reached out his hand toward the silver crystal.

Boom!

However, at the exact moment Li Yun approached, the heart-like crystal suddenly seemed to sense his presence.

Then instantly—

It exploded violently like a detonating star.

An endless flood of fierce flaming light erupted outward from within the crystal. Alongside the violent energy came a strange and mysterious fluctuation that spread rapidly through the surrounding space.

The moment those strange fluctuations touched Li Yun’s body, his expression changed drastically.

His pores actually opened involuntarily.

Immediately afterward, the violent flaming light surged directly into his body through every pore like countless berserk flood dragons crashing into his meridians.

The terrifying energy rampaged crazily within him as though it wanted to tear his body apart from the inside.

“AHHH!”

Even with Li Yun’s powerful willpower and astonishing mental fortitude, he still could not suppress a painful scream in the face of such overwhelming agony.

The flaming energy was simply too violent.

It felt as though every inch of flesh, every meridian, and every bone within his body was being burned apart by scorching flames.

However, after the initial burst of unbearable pain, Li Yun quickly forced himself to calm down.

“Hold on!”

Li Yun gritted his teeth tightly while a low roar escaped from between them.

Immediately afterward, he circulated all three of his High Grade Profound Rank cultivation arts simultaneously.

Boom!

Vast quantities of qi erupted from within his body as Li Yun desperately used his cultivation to suppress the berserk flaming energy.

At the same time, he even infused all of his comprehended Intents into the suppression process in order to strengthen his control further.

The violent flaming energy continuously struggled and rampaged within his body, making the entire refinement process incomparably dangerous.

Li Yun had to exhaust nearly all of his strength just to barely suppress the terrifying power hidden within the silver crystal.

Only after several minutes did the violent energy finally begin stabilizing.

Although the process left both of Li Yun’s arms scorched and badly burned, the gains he obtained from refining the crystal were equally astonishing.

Whoooosh!

A powerful fluctuation suddenly erupted from Li Yun’s body.

His Flame Intent had directly broken through once again.

From sixty percent mastery, it forcefully advanced into the realm of seventy percent Source Mastery.

Its level had now completely caught up to his Sword Intent.

The moment he sensed the terrifying improvement in his Flame Intent, excitement immediately appeared in Li Yun’s eyes.

However, just as he was immersed in the joy of his breakthrough—

A deep and ancient voice suddenly echoed throughout the world.

“Kid, congratulations on successfully passing all of my tests.”

Li Yun was immediately startled awake.

He hurriedly raised his head and looked forward.

At some unknown point, the chaotic silver world had already disappeared completely. The heavens and earth had once again become clear and peaceful.

Far away, atop the highest mountain within this space, stood a majestic middle-aged man with his hands clasped behind his back.

The man’s expression carried a faint smile while an invisible aura of dominance naturally radiated from his body.

It was the Flame King himself.

The moment Li Yun saw him, his heart immediately trembled.

“Greetings, Senior Flame King!”

Li Yun did not dare show even the slightest negligence as he immediately bowed respectfully.

Although his strength had increased tremendously after passing the trial and refining the inheritance crystal, Li Yun remained extremely clear-headed.

The person before him was a true Heavenly Core Realm expert.

Not only that, he was one of the strongest existences among Heavenly Core Realm cultivators beneath the Dragon Emperor.

Before such a terrifying figure, Li Yun’s current strength was still insignificant.

No matter how monstrous his talent was, before a peak expert like the Flame King, he was still little more than an ant.

“We are both Martial Artists, so there is no need to behave with such excessive formality. Simply act according to your nature.”

The Flame King waved his hand indifferently as though such etiquette meant little to him.

Then his gaze landed upon Li Yun once more as he spoke in a deep and steady voice.

“Kid, since you successfully passed all the trials I left behind, my Legacy now belongs to you.”

A faint trace of expectation appeared within the Flame King’s eyes.

“I only hope that after inheriting my Legacy, you will continue carrying it forward in the future and never disgrace the reputation I once possessed.”

Within this Legacy Space, the Flame King had left behind a total of two separate trials.

The first trial was to defeat the Flame Giant that possessed a nearly immortal body.

The second trial was even more demanding.

The person inheriting the Legacy not only had to withstand the violent flame energy sealed within the silver crystal, but also successfully suppress and refine it completely.

Only after utilizing that violent flame energy to achieve a breakthrough in Flame Intent would the berserk power hidden within the crystal willingly calm down and retreat.

After all, the Flame King had earned his title through his unparalleled achievements upon the path of flames.

Naturally, he would never allow his inheritance to fall into the hands of someone who knew absolutely nothing about Flame Dao.

To inherit the Flame King’s Legacy, reaching the Profound Truth level in the path of flames was an absolute requirement.
