Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Finally, a towering emerald tree phantom manifested behind him.

Its roots seemed capable of supporting the heavens, while its branches stretched endlessly into the sky. Every leaf radiated overwhelming vitality, and the moment the tree fully took shape, Li Yun’s comprehension of the Wood Tree Manifestation Art reached the completion stage.

The phantom tree immediately merged into his body.

A powerful life force erupted throughout his flesh, blood, bones, and organs. His vitality increased dramatically, and his recovery speed became several times greater than before.

Minor injuries would heal almost instantly.

Even severe wounds would recover at astonishing speed.

As long as he was not killed in a single blow, his regenerative ability would far surpass that of ordinary cultivators.

After completely absorbing the Azure Origin Immortal Wood, Li Yun’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the 6th level of the Essence Qi Realm.

Yet he did not stop.

His gaze shifted toward the second treasure.

The Profound Yin True Water.

Without hesitation, he activated the Endless Ocean Divine Art.

The moment the cultivation art began circulating, the Profound Yin True Water dissolved into endless streams of deep blue energy and flowed into his body.

Boom!

A vast oceanic aura spread throughout the chamber.

The temperature dropped sharply. The surrounding spiritual energy began moving like endless tides, and Li Yun felt as though he had entered an ancient ocean that contained limitless depth and power.

The profound truths of water continuously unfolded before him.

Water could be gentle enough to nourish all life.

Water could also be powerful enough to drown worlds.

Water could absorb impact, endure pressure, adapt to any environment, and remain unbroken no matter how violently it was struck.

Countless insights entered Li Yun’s mind.

His mastery of the Endless Ocean Divine Art advanced rapidly.

Novice stage.

Proficient stage.

Advanced stage.

The vast energy contained within the Profound Yin True Water continuously poured into his meridians and dantian. At the same time, his Chaos Qi greedily devoured every strand of energy, causing his cultivation foundation to become increasingly powerful.

The bottleneck between the 6th and 7th levels of the Essence Qi Realm began to crack.

Meanwhile, his comprehension of the Endless Ocean Divine Art continued climbing.

Finally, a boundless ocean phantom appeared behind him.

Massive waves surged into the sky, and the pressure released by the ocean was so immense that it felt capable of crushing mountains. The endless ocean seemed eternal, vast, and indestructible.

At that moment, the Endless Ocean Divine Art reached the completion stage.

The ocean phantom merged into Li Yun’s body.

Immediately, his defensive ability underwent a tremendous transformation.

The greatest strength of the Endless Ocean Divine Art was its astonishing defense and endurance. Once activated, layers of water energy could continuously absorb, disperse, and weaken incoming attacks.

Just as an endless ocean could swallow the force of countless waves without collapsing, Li Yun’s body gained a similar characteristic. Attacks would be weakened layer by layer before they truly reached him, and his endurance in prolonged battles would increase dramatically.

Combined with the regenerative ability granted by the Wood Tree Manifestation Art, his survivability reached an entirely new level.

One technique greatly strengthened his healing and recovery.

The other granted him powerful defense and endurance.

Together, they formed an almost perfect combination.

At that moment, the final surge of energy within the Profound Yin True Water erupted inside his dantian.

Boom!

A powerful wave of Chaos Qi swept through his entire body.

The already weakened bottleneck shattered completely.

His aura exploded upward.

7th level of the Essence Qi Realm.

The spiritual energy within the chamber instantly became chaotic as a powerful pressure spread outward.

Li Yun’s cultivation had finally broken through.

When he slowly opened his eyes, an emerald glow flickered within one eye, while a deep ocean-blue radiance flashed within the other.

The Azure Origin Immortal Wood and the Profound Yin True Water had not only allowed Li Yun to cultivate both the Wood Tree Manifestation Art and the Endless Ocean Divine Art to the completion stage, but the immense energy contained within the two treasures had also pushed his cultivation from the 6th level of the Essence Qi Realm all the way to the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm.

Feeling the power flowing through his body, Li Yun slowly stood up.

His healing ability had increased severalfold, his defenses had become far stronger than before, and his cultivation had officially entered the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm.

However, he was still not finished.

”It is time for me to cultivate the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer,” Li Yun muttered.

At present, Li Yun’s cultivation of the ninth-tier secret art, the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique, had already reached the fourth layer long ago, and several months had passed since then.

Previously, Li Yun had not dared to raise the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer because he was worried that his control over Chaos Qi might not be strong enough. After all, once the fifth layer was reached, his body would carry a weight one hundred thousand times greater than normal. If he could not control that terrifying burden properly, even ordinary movement would become extremely difficult.

Now, after breaking through to the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm, Li Yun felt that his control over Chaos Qi and his understanding of the Essence Qi Realm had both improved enough for him to take that step.

”Still, before I raise the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer, I should first cultivate the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture to the fifth stage, the Vital Core Body.”

Li Yun fell into deep thought and muttered, ”Only by doing that will my body become strong enough to withstand the fifth layer of the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique.”

After deciding on his plan, Li Yun entered secluded cultivation once again.

This seclusion lasted for half a month.

Time flowed like water, and half a month passed in what felt like an instant. At a certain moment, Li Yun finally opened his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

”In half a month, I finally raised the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer.”

Li Yun smiled faintly as he spoke.

In truth, it had only taken him two days to raise the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer.

The first day had been spent cultivating the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture to the fifth stage, the Vital Core Body. At this stage, a vital core would form within the cultivator’s body. This vital core was different from a mortal core because it did not store essence qi. Instead, it contained the raw physical strength of the body.

Before this, Li Yun’s physical strength had been spread throughout his flesh, blood, bones, and organs. After reaching the Vital Core Body stage, all of that raw strength gathered together and condensed into a Vital Core inside him.

With the formation of this Vital Core, Li Yun’s physical strength increased many times over, and his control over that physical strength also became far more precise.

On the second day, he successfully raised the World-Bearing Devil-Suppressing Physique to the fifth layer, causing the weight of his body to increase by one hundred thousand times.

As for the remaining days, Li Yun spent them controlling his Chaos Qi so that he could move freely despite bearing such an immense weight. At first, it was extremely difficult. Every movement felt as though he was dragging an entire mountain range behind him.

However, with his seventh-tier comprehension and the assistance of the Enlightenment Dragon Hall, he eventually managed to control it successfully.
