Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

“So this is the pride of Azure Ridge Prefecture?”

Su Fengyan’s cold mocking voice rang out at the perfect moment. “You kept calling us trash, but you cannot even defeat the trash you look down on. If that is the case, then what are you supposed to be? Something even worse?”

“Do not get arrogant too early.”

Shen Ziyue glared at Su Fengyan through gritted teeth, and his voice was filled with resentment. “I admit that you have some ability, but that does not change the fact that the Southern Martial Domain is still a weak and bottom-tier place. Just look at your group. You actually brought someone at the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm here. That alone proves how pathetic your foundation is.”

“Hm?”

When they heard this, Su Fengyan, Huang Chen, Li Hao, and the others all revealed strange expressions. The way they looked at Shen Ziyue became almost the same as the way one would look at a fool.

Li Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Shen Ziyue, and said in a calm voice, “You know that you are no match for Su Fengyan, so you want to shift your attention toward me in order to recover some face. It is not a bad idea, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong person.”

After speaking, Li Yun looked at the five geniuses from Azure Ridge Prefecture and continued indifferently, “How about this? All five of you can attack me together. If the five of you join forces and defeat me, then I will admit that everyone from the Southern Martial Domain is trash.”

“What did you say?”

Shen Ziyue froze for a moment, almost unable to believe what he had just heard.

Had he heard correctly?

A mere cultivator at the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm actually dared to challenge him. Even more absurdly, Li Yun wanted to face all five of them at the same time. In Shen Ziyue’s eyes, this was no longer arrogance. This was sheer madness.

“I think you have truly lost your mind.”

Shen Ziyue sneered coldly. “A piece of trash at the 1st level of the Essence Qi Realm like you wants all five of us to attack together? I understand now. You are afraid of losing too miserably, so you deliberately said this to make it look like we are bullying you. I did not expect you to be so scheming.”

“If that is what you think, then you can come one by one.”

Li Yun’s expression remained calm and indifferent, as if he were speaking about something completely insignificant. “Whether you attack together or take turns, I do not care.”

“Brat, you are too arrogant.”

On the side of Azure Ridge Prefecture, a young man in a golden-yellow robe finally could not endure it any longer. With a furious roar, his figure blurred, and he stepped directly onto the Crimson Hawk-Lion where Li Yun stood.

“Ignorant fool, die.”

Boom!

The golden-robed youth threw out a punch with all his strength. As a 1st level Mortal Core Realm cultivator, the force contained in his strike was far beyond what an ordinary Essence Qi Realm cultivator could withstand. His surging Essence Qi erupted violently, and the power of his fist seemed intent on crushing Li Yun in a single blow.

Facing this punch, Li Yun did not move at all.

His expression remained unchanged as he stood quietly in place, as though he had not even noticed the incoming attack.

“This brat must be scared stiff.”

“Hmph. He spoke so arrogantly just now, but the moment the fight began, he froze like a coward. He actually wanted all five of us to attack him together?”

“Trash will always be trash. Even if an unusual person appeared among them, the Southern Martial Domain is still nothing more than a place filled with weaklings.”

Seeing Li Yun stand motionless, Yao Lingshu and the others immediately began sneering again. Yao Lingshu, in particular, spoke the loudest, and every word she said carried sharp sarcasm.

“Die, ignorant brat.”

Even the golden-robed youth himself thought that Li Yun had been frightened until he could no longer move. A cruel sneer appeared on his face, and killing intent flashed through his eyes as he prepared to smash Li Yun apart with his fist.

However, in that instant, Li Yun finally moved.

Shoo!

A streak of sword light suddenly flashed through the air like a bolt of lightning.

The sword strike was incredibly fast. It surpassed the speed of sound, tore past the limits of the naked eye, and appeared before the golden-robed youth almost the moment it was released.

With only one sword strike, the violent force of the golden-robed youth’s punch was torn apart completely.

“Pfft!”

The golden-robed youth spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backward like a kite with its string cut. The speed at which he was sent flying was several times faster than the speed at which he had charged forward.

“This…”

The sudden reversal instantly stunned Yao Lingshu and the others.

What had just happened?

A moment ago, Li Yun had seemed frozen in fear, as though he were about to be killed by the golden-robed youth. Yet in the blink of an eye, the person who had been sent flying was not Li Yun, but the golden-robed youth himself.

The mocking expressions on their faces had not even faded, but shock had already replaced their arrogance, making them look especially ridiculous.

At that moment, Li Yun’s gaze slowly fell on them.

His voice remained calm as he said, “Next, it is your turn.”

He paused slightly, then added, “Since you refuse to make a move, I will.”

Shua!

In the next instant, Li Yun directly activated the Heavenly Lightning Codex. Brilliant lightning surged around his body, and a pair of Lightning Wings unfolded behind him with a sharp crackling sound. The moment those wings appeared, his speed rose to a terrifying level, and in only a single breath, he crossed the distance between them and appeared in front of Yao Lingshu.

His sword moved without the slightest hesitation.

Bang!

Yao Lingshu’s body was instantly sent flying backward.

Before anyone could react, Li Yun’s figure flickered again. His movement was so fast that it looked as if streaks of lightning were flashing across the back of the Crimson Hawk-Lion. With each flicker, his sword descended once, and with each sword strike, another 1st level Mortal Core Realm genius from Azure Ridge Prefecture was blasted away.
