Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

“What is this lunatic planning now?”

A violent sense of danger suddenly rose within Huang Chen’s heart without warning.

His instincts screamed at him.

Danger.

Extreme danger.

Meanwhile, standing among the spectators, Li Yun narrowed his eyes sharply.

“Huang Chen is about to lose.”

The expressions of the people around him changed instantly.

“What did you say?”

However, Li Yun did not explain further. His gaze remained fixed upon Li Hao, and a strange brilliance flickered deep within his eyes.

At that moment, Li Hao had already forced his way through the destructive radiance and arrived directly before Huang Chen.

The distance between them was less than ten meters.

Huang Chen’s pupils contracted violently.

Without hesitation, he immediately controlled the emperor phantom behind him to attack once more.

But Li Hao suddenly sneered.

“Too late.”

The moment those cold words fell—

Li Hao abruptly opened his mouth.

“Primordial Qi Slash!”

He slashed his saber and a gray qi released from it.

The gray stream of Qi was incredibly thin and condensed, yet the terrifying sharpness hidden within it caused even the surrounding space to split apart wherever it passed.

Clang!

In an instant, the gray Qi transformed into a long gray blade.

The blade struck the rune-covered golden bell surrounding Huang Chen with terrifying precision.

A crisp sound echoed across the battlefield.

The seemingly indestructible golden bell was instantly split apart.

The expressions of countless spectators froze.

Huang Chen’s eyes widened.

He had never expected Li Hao’s true killing move to be hidden until this very moment.

Everything before this had merely been preparation.

The Reincarnation Slash.

The direct collision.

Even enduring severe injuries while charging through the destructive storm.

All of it had been done to create this single opportunity.

Swish!

The gray blade flashed through the air. A cold sensation suddenly spread across Huang Chen’s neck.

For a brief moment, the entire world seemed to become silent.

Then—

Blood erupted into the sky.

Huang Chen’s head flew upward while shock and disbelief still remained frozen within his eyes.

The massive emperor phantom behind him trembled violently before gradually collapsing into countless particles of golden light.

Silence.

Absolute silence filled the battlefield.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them as though their minds had completely stopped functioning.

One of the five great prodigies…

Huang Chen…

Had actually been killed.

A moment later, the entire arena exploded into chaos.

“My god!”

“Huang Chen lost?!”

“No… this cannot be real!”

“Li Hao actually killed one of the five great prodigies during the Prodigy Supreme Battle!”

Countless cries of shock erupted throughout the Supreme Platform.

“Huang Chen!”

At that moment, a furious roar filled with grief and indignation suddenly exploded across the heavens and earth.

The voice belonged to Elder Fenyan.

His eyes were bloodshot with rage as terrifying killing intent surged uncontrollably from his body. Huang Chen was one of the most important geniuses of the Boundless Martial Palace, one of the four supreme Sects of the Southern Martial Domain.

The Sect had poured an unimaginable amount of resources into nurturing him, treating him entirely as the future successor of the Boundless Martial Palace.

Yet now, before the eyes of countless spectators, Huang Chen had actually been beheaded during the Prodigy Supreme Battle.

For the Boundless Martial Palace, this was an enormous humiliation.

“You damned little beast! How dare you kill Huang Chen! I will tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces!”

Elder Fenyan roared furiously while staring at Li Hao like a crazed beast. Every word that came from his mouth carried icy killing intent so dense that even the surrounding temperature seemed to plummet.

The terrifying pressure of a Mortal Core Realm expert immediately spread outward.

However, before Elder Binglie could make a move, a icy blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his path.

It was Elder Binglie of the Ice God Valley.

“Fenyan, calm yourself,” Elder Binglie said coldly. “Battles between geniuses are inherently dangerous. Injuries and deaths are unavoidable. Do not act recklessly here.”

Li Hao was one of the greatest geniuses of the Blazing Flame Valley. Naturally, Elder Binglie could not possibly allow anyone to harm him.

Even though, Li Hao wasn’t a genius of the Ice God Valley, as an elder of the Ice God Valley, she still felt the need to intervene before motr elders from the Boundless Martial Palace intervened and made this matter even more worse.

“Get out of my way!”

Elder Fenyan had completely lost control of himself. His aura surged violently as though he truly intended to kill Li Hao on the spot regardless of the consequences.

Just as the atmosphere between the two elders reached its breaking point—

“Elder Fenyan, there is no need to worry. I am fine.”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Elder Binglie’s body froze instantly.

The expressions of countless spectators also changed sharply as they hurriedly looked toward the source of the voice.

Then they saw Huang Chen sitting atop the Supreme Dragon Throne completely unharmed.

Not a single wound could be seen on his body.

The entire arena instantly fell silent.

Elder Fenyan stared blankly for a moment before a look of overwhelming relief appeared on his face.

“Huang Chen, are you truly alright?” he asked hurriedly.

Huang Chen slowly nodded.

“I am fine,” he replied in a deep voice. “The Supreme Platform contains extremely profound Laws. Even if someone is killed here, they will not truly die. The moment Li Hao’s attack severed my head, the mysterious rules within the platform activated and pulled me back from the brink of death.”

As Huang Chen spoke, traces of lingering shock could still be seen within his eyes.

Originally, he had truly believed that he was dead.

The moment the gray blade sliced through his neck, he had clearly felt death descend upon him. However, at the critical moment, an incomparably mysterious power surged out from the Supreme Platform beneath his feet and forcibly restored his shattered life force.

After finishing his explanation, Huang Chen slowly raised his head and looked toward Li Hao once more.

His handsome face immediately darkened with anger and unwillingness.

“Li Hao, I admit defeat in this battle,” Huang Chen said coldly. “However, do not become arrogant because of this victory. The reason you managed to defeat me today was only because I underestimated you and acted carelessly. If I had used my true trump card from the beginning, you would never have been able to defeat me!”

Li Hao merely looked at him calmly.

His expression remained indifferent from beginning to end.

“Perhaps,” he replied flatly.

At that exact moment, the ancient voice once again echoed throughout the entire platform.

“The first round of the Prodigy Supreme Battle has concluded!”

“Li Hao is victorious. He gains one point. Current score: one point!”

“Huang Chen is defeated. He loses one point. Current score: negative one point!”

“Next begins the second round of the Prodigy Supreme Battle!”

“Li Yun versus Teng Jian!”

As the ancient voice faded away, Li Hao slowly turned around and returned toward his Supreme Dragon Throne.

At the same time, two streams of light suddenly shot across the sky and descended onto the Supreme Platform.

The figures standing within those streams of light were none other than Li Yun and Teng Jian.
