Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

However, facing the powerful counterattack of the three, a faint trace of mockery appeared on the Starveil Maiden’s beautiful and calm face.

”You overestimate yourselves.”

She softly uttered those words.

Then, her expression suddenly became solemn and cold, and her voice turned icy.

”Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex!”

Shua!

As her voice fell, she suddenly swung her sword.

Unlike her previous casual and indifferent manner, this sword strike was sharp and powerful to the extreme. An astonishing Sword Qi surged out with a boom, carrying an unstoppable aura that seemed capable of cleaving through everything in its path.

Boom!

The power and brilliance of this sword strike were so terrifying that it seemed as though it could split the sky itself.

”Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex! It is actually the Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex!”

”You actually mastered the ultimate technique of my Heavenly Sword Sect!”

”Impossible!”

At this moment, Elder Fuyao and the other two all changed color. Every one of them looked as though they had seen a ghost, and their faces turned pale with extreme terror.

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex was the strongest ultimate technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As high-level elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they naturally knew how terrifying this martial skill was.

A Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse who had also mastered an ultimate technique like the Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex could undoubtedly sweep them away with absolute ease.

Sure enough, in the next moment, that astonishing Sword Qi seemed to carry divine assistance as it struck the spiritual artifacts of Elder Fuyao and the other two with earth-shattering momentum.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

With just one collision, the Daoist-robed old man’s Green Bamboo Staff, the purple-robed elder’s Thunderlight Universe Mirror, and Elder Fuyao’s pitch-black longsword all shattered at the same time and were completely destroyed.

Bang!

Not only that, Elder Fuyao and the other two were all sent flying by the sword strike. Blood splattered across the sky, and their bodies were nearly cut in half. If not for the astonishing vitality of ninth heaven Heavenly Core Realm powerhouses, that single sword strike would have been enough to kill all three of them on the spot.

With one sword strike, three giants of the ninth heaven of the Heavenly Core Realm, including Elder Fuyao, were completely defeated. Their spiritual artifacts were destroyed, and they were all severely injured.

What an astonishing sword strike.

What a powerful sword strike.

Gazing at the incredible scene before them, everyone was completely stunned. Elder Yuechi and the others, in particular, felt their hearts surge with extremely complicated emotions.

As fellow Heavenly Core Realm powerhouses, they naturally knew how formidable Elder Fuyao and the other two were. Yet even after using low-grade Heaven Rank spiritual artifacts against the Starveil Maiden, who held only a top-grade Earth Rank spiritual artifact, they still suffered such a miserable defeat.

It could be said that this was not a battle between people on the same level at all.

Elder Fuyao and the other two were like infants overestimating themselves by challenging an adult.

The Spirit Manifestation Realm was, after all, the realm of true powerhouses. It was the level of supreme titans, and it was certainly not something a few ninth heaven Heavenly Core Realm cultivators could provoke.

This time, the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom was destined to suffer a bitter setback.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, the sound of air being torn suddenly rang out, and several figures appeared before everyone.

The person leading them was a middle-aged man in a green robe. His temperament was elegant, and his bearing was calm and dignified. He was none other than the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Mu Tianhe.

Upon seeing Mu Tianhe, Elder Yuechi and the others were moved. They bowed in unison and said respectfully, ”Greetings, Sect Master.”

”Mhm.”

Mu Tianhe nodded slightly.

Then, he immediately looked toward the Starveil Maiden, and a trace of wonder surfaced in his eyes as he praised her.

”Young friend, in just a few months, you have actually mastered the Heaven-Splitting Sword Codex. Such aptitude is truly incredible.”

”Sect Master!”

Hearing Mu Tianhe speak like this after appearing, the expressions of Elder Fuyao and the other two could not help changing.

Not only did Mu Tianhe not punish the Starveil Maiden, but he even showed appreciation and admiration toward her. This was completely beyond their expectations.

The purple-robed elder shouted in anger, ”Sect Master, this woman is frantic and overbearing. Within the territory of our Heavenly Sword Sect, she killed two of our elders and defeated the three of us. She completely disregards the dignity of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Does the Sect Master not intend to severely punish such a reckless person?”

”Impudent!”

Mu Tianhe’s expression changed as he coldly barked, ”This young friend is a distinguished guest of my Heavenly Sword Sect and also a guest of mine. You all dared to attack her without authorization. I have not even held you accountable yet, and you are already questioning me instead. How bold of you.”

”What?”

Hearing this, the faces of Elder Fuyao and the others changed at once.

The Starheaven Ancient Kingdom held great influence within the Heavenly Sword Sect. Normally, even though Mu Tianhe was the Sect Master, he still had to show them some courtesy. Yet now, in order to protect the Starveil Maiden, Mu Tianhe had actually rebuked them without hesitation. This immediately left them both shocked and furious.

Before they could speak again, Mu Tianhe gave a cold smile and said, ”Furthermore, this young friend is a powerhouse of the Spirit Manifestation Realm. Do you expect me to offend a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse for your sake?”

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, instantly chilling the hearts of Elder Fuyao and the other two.

There was nothing wrong with Mu Tianhe’s words.

Even if Elder Xingluo had been crippled and Prince Yu had been killed, such matters were still not enough for the vast Heavenly Sword Sect to offend a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse rashly.

Unless Elder Fuyao and the other two had all been killed by the Starveil Maiden, the Heavenly Sword Sect might not be enraged enough to act against her. However, since the three of them were only severely wounded and not in mortal danger, the sect would never recklessly offend a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse.

After all, the weight of a Spirit Manifestation Realm powerhouse was far too great.

Although the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom also had a Spirit Manifestation Realm ancestor, that ancestor had only recently stepped into the Spirit Manifestation Realm and was already approaching the end of his lifespan. Every time he acted, it would cost him several years of life.

Because of that, unless the kingdom truly reached a moment of life and death, that Spirit Manifestation Realm ancestor would absolutely not take action.

In other words, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter loss.

”In that case, I ask the Sect Master to issue a decree to execute the Outer Sect Disciple, Li Yun.”

The purple-robed elder’s expression shifted, and he suddenly snorted coldly. ”This boy acted recklessly and killed the crown prince of our Starheaven Ancient Kingdom inside the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm. Such a crime absolutely cannot be forgiven. As long as the Sect Master orders his execution, we can act as though today’s events never happened.”

As he spoke, the purple-robed elder looked at Li Yun with hatred. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

It could be said that the source of everything that had happened today was Li Yun. If he had not killed Crown Prince Xing Tian, none of these later events would have occurred. Prince Yu would not have died, and the three of them would not have lost so much face.

”No.”

However, just as the purple-robed elder finished speaking, the Starveil Maiden spoke indifferently.

She glanced at Li Yun and said calmly, ”You cannot kill this person.”

Then, she looked toward the purple-robed elder and continued in the same calm voice, ”Powerhouses of the same generation may attack him as they please, and I will not interfere. However, if the older generation tries to bully him with age or strength, then do not blame me for storming into the palace of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom and holding your emperor accountable.”
