Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

’I have to finish this quickly.’

Li Yun’s thoughts became sharp and focused. He did not want to draw the attention of the other 9th level Mortal Core Realm cultivators who were surrounding this area.

Because of that, Li Yun directly entered his strongest combat state.

”Heavenly Lightning Battle Armor.”

Blue lightning flickered around his body, and a layer of brilliant lightning armor quickly covered him. His figure flashed to the side like a streak of thunder, easily dodging the blood-colored spear that had been thrust toward his heart.

The black-robed young man’s expression changed.

”How did...”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yun had already appeared in front of him.

All the black-robed young man saw was a flash of blue lightning. In the next instant, Li Yun’s figure was right before his eyes.

”Vermilion Sun Descends!”

Li Yun directly used the killing move of the Vermilion Sun Incineration Art.

A rotating sphere of blazing flames appeared in his hand, burning with terrifying heat. Without giving the black-robed cultivator any chance to react, Li Yun slammed it fiercely into his chest.

Boom!

The black-robed young man was blasted away.

A scorching mark appeared across his chest, and the intense heat burned through his black martial robes in an instant.

”What a pity. That did not kill him directly.”

Seeing this, a hint of regret flashed through Li Yun’s eyes.

The black-robed young man had been wearing a low-grade Earth Rank protective armor under his clothes. When Li Yun’s Vermilion Sun Descends struck him, most of its power had first been spent destroying that armor. Only after the armor shattered did the remaining force land on his body, greatly reducing the damage of the attack.

Although the black-robed young man looked heavily injured and miserable, those injuries were still not enough to take his life.

With a soft sigh, Li Yun did not hesitate at all. He no longer looked at the black-robed young man and immediately activated his Lightning Wings, fleeing rapidly into the distance.

A long delay would only bring more trouble.

Although the black-robed young man had been badly wounded, he was still a cultivator at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm. No one knew whether he had any hidden trump cards. If Li Yun allowed himself to be entangled by him, the one who would end up in danger would be Li Yun himself.

At that moment, Li Yun could already sense several auras approaching him, and not one of them was weaker than the black-robed young man.

A few breaths later, Li Yun’s figure had already vanished from the black-robed young man’s sight.

”Damn it!”

The black-robed young man finally struggled to his feet, so furious that he was nearly driven mad. Blood leaked from his mouth as he looked down at the burned mark covering the front of his body.

Right now, his black martial robes were torn to pieces, and his body was covered in wounds. Compared to his confident appearance moments ago, he now looked incredibly wretched.

”A mere brat at the 8th level of the Essence Qi Realm actually made me suffer such a great loss. I will kill you. I must kill you.”

He roared toward the sky, and his killing intent expanded wildly.

His desire to kill Li Yun had already risen to an unbearable level.

As a cultivator at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm, suffering such a loss at the hands of Li Yun, who was only at the Essence Qi Realm, was an intolerable humiliation.

”Useless trash.”

At that moment, a cold and disdainful voice suddenly rang out.

”A dignified cultivator at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm was actually injured like this by someone at the 8th level of the Essence Qi Realm. What a waste.”

A young man with loose violet hair and a flamboyant aura strode forward with a powerful gait.

”Who is it?”

The black-robed young man was furious and was about to curse, but the moment he saw the violet-haired young man’s face, the words he wanted to say were forcibly swallowed back down his throat.

His expression changed, and he said somewhat awkwardly, ”Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang Yan.”

”Hmph.”

Hearing the black-robed young man’s respectful greeting, the violet-haired young man only gave a cold snort and did not even bother to properly acknowledge him.

A flash of shame and anger crossed the black-robed young man’s eyes, but he did not dare to say another word.

That was because the violet-haired young man standing before him was ranked fifty-seventh in the entire Outer Sect. His cultivation had already reached the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm, placing him far beyond what the black-robed young man could compare to.

More importantly, the violet-haired young man’s elder brother, Jiang Yuefeng, was ranked ninth in the Outer Sect and was a true giant among Outer Sect Disciples.

Facing someone with such a background, the black-robed young man did not dare to offend him at all.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen cultivators at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm arrived. Without exception, when they saw the violet-haired young man, wariness appeared in their eyes.

”Senior Brother Jiang Yan.”

The dozen or so 9th level Mortal Core Realm cultivators bowed toward Jiang Yan at the same time.

”Mhm.”

Jiang Yan merely nodded casually. Then, he looked at the black-robed young man and said indifferently, ”You there. Tell me everything about your battle with Li Yun just now. Remember, do not leave out even the smallest detail. If I discover even the slightest discrepancy, your life will be forfeit.”

The black-robed young man’s face became even uglier, but he did not dare to oppose Jiang Yan. He could only honestly recount everything that had happened.

”Oh?”

After listening to the black-robed young man’s explanation, Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him indifferently. ”You could not even withstand a single attack from him? You truly are trash.”

Ignoring the black-robed young man’s humiliated expression, Jiang Yan continued muttering to himself, ”To be able to injure a cultivator at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm when going all out, this Li Yun does have some ability. However, he is still only a turtle trapped in a jar. He will not be able to stir up any major waves.”

”All of you, listen.”

After pausing for a moment, Jiang Yan spoke arrogantly. ”From now on, everyone will follow my command. Surround Li Yun from all directions along his escape route. Once you discover his location, notify me immediately. Within one day, I will have his head.”

”This...”

The black-robed young man and the others looked at one another.

After a long silence, none of them dared to defy Jiang Yan’s will. In the end, they nodded one after another and replied, ”Yes.”

An inescapable net aimed at Li Yun silently spread out.

Meanwhile, Li Yun had already escaped several miles away.

After finding a relatively safe place, he briefly recovered from his injuries. Half an hour later, he had already healed completely and returned to his peak state.

However, there was no trace of relief on his face.

Instead, his expression became increasingly solemn.

At this moment, he was surrounded by so many cultivators at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm that even Li Yun had to admit his situation had become extremely dangerous.
