Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

As soon as his voice fell, a terrifying saber aura erupted from his body.

”Three Slashes of Annihilation!”

Saber Demon shouted, and his figure seemed to merge with the blood-colored saber light around him. In the next instant, he directly unleashed a killing technique.

Three incredibly sharp saber auras tore through the air. Each slash carried an annihilating force that seemed capable of sweeping away ghosts, monsters, and all living beings. When the three saber auras merged into one, the power of the attack rose explosively, and the terrifying saber light descended toward Li Yun with the momentum of splitting him in half.

”You are the one who will die.”

Li Yun sneered as he fully released his One Hundred Percent Slaughter Sword Intent.

A crimson aura erupted from his body like a boundless sea of blood. His sword trembled in his hand, and the surrounding air instantly became cold, heavy, and filled with a suffocating killing will.

”Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.”

Li Yun swung his sword.

In an instant, hundreds of slaughter sword qi condensed into the shape of small crimson swords and shot forward together.

Bang!

The hundreds of slaughter sword qi swords collided against the three saber slashes one after another. Every impact released a violent explosion of qi, causing the ground beneath them to crack and the surrounding space to tremble. After several breaths, the three saber attacks were completely destroyed by Li Yun’s Slaughter Sword Qi.

The remaining crimson sword qi scattered into the air.

”Is that it?” Saber Demon asked with a cold smile. ”Your cultivation has increased by one level, but so what? It still does not change your outcome.”

Li Yun did not seem to hear him.

His eyes were calm.

Unbelievably calm.

At that moment, the pressure coming from Saber Demon did not make him retreat. Instead, it pressed down on his mind, body, and sword intent like a giant mountain. Saber Demon’s aura, his saber force, and the faint trace of Xiantian Stage Saber Intent hidden within his attacks all bore down on Li Yun at the same time.

If it had been an ordinary martial artist, their martial heart would have already collapsed under such pressure.

But Li Yun was different.

His Slaughter Sword Intent had already reached One Hundred Percent Source Mastery. It had long stood at the very peak of the acquired stage, only one step away from a higher realm. What he lacked was not accumulation, nor was it comprehension. What he lacked was the final pressure needed to force that transformation.

And now, Saber Demon had provided that pressure.

Li Yun’s mind suddenly became empty.

The battlefield before him faded.

Saber Demon’s figure faded.

Even the sound of the wind and the raging qi around him seemed to disappear.

In Li Yun’s perception, only slaughter remained.

He saw countless blades cutting through flesh and bone. He saw mountains of corpses rising beneath a blood-red sky. He saw broken weapons buried in the earth, rivers of blood flowing into the distance, and countless lives vanishing under the cold edge of a sword.

But this time, Li Yun did not simply see killing.

He saw the law behind slaughter.

Slaughter was not rage.

Slaughter was not madness.

Slaughter was not hatred.

True slaughter was absolute judgment through the sword. It was the cold will to cut down all obstacles. It was a path that did not tremble, did not hesitate, and did not need the approval of heaven and earth.

At that moment, something inside Li Yun’s Slaughter Sword Intent broke apart.

It was not a collapse.

It was a transformation.

The crimson aura around him suddenly withdrew into his body, and for a brief instant, the entire battlefield became strangely silent. Even Saber Demon’s expression changed slightly as he sensed something unusual.

Then, in the next breath, a far more terrifying aura erupted from Li Yun’s body.

Boom!

The moment this aura appeared, the sky above the battlefield seemed to darken. A boundless crimson pressure swept outward like a tide from the depths of hell. The killing intent that had once only belonged to Li Yun now seemed to resonate faintly with heaven and earth itself.

His Slaughter Sword Intent had broken through.

Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent.

The moment it appeared, every trace of killing will in the area was suppressed. The scattered saber aura in the air trembled violently, and even Saber Demon’s own Saber Intent seemed to stiffen under the terrifying pressure.

Saber Demon’s pupils shrank for the first time.

A chill rose uncontrollably in his heart.

This feeling was not simple danger. It was terror.

It was as though the person standing before him was no longer a young martial artist at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm, but an ancient executioner who had walked out from an endless battlefield of corpses and blood.

”How is this possible?” Saber Demon muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.

He had comprehended ten percent Saber Intent at the Xiantian Stage, so he understood very well how powerful Xiantian Stage Intent was. But the aura Li Yun had released at this moment was far beyond what he had imagined.

”My ten percent Xiantian Stage Saber Intent is not even close to being this terrifying.”

Saber Demon’s face finally changed completely.

He had always been proud of his Saber Intent. Even among many Heavenly Core Realm experts, very few could comprehend Xiantian Stage Intent, and he had relied on this advantage to kill countless powerful opponents. Yet now, before Li Yun’s Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent, his own Saber Intent seemed weak and insignificant.

Li Yun slowly raised his sword.

The crimson light around him no longer looked as violent as before. Instead, it had become deeper, colder, and far more frightening. It was no longer merely a powerful killing intent. It had become a natural force of slaughter, as if killing itself had taken form through his sword.

”Saber Demon,” Li Yun said calmly, ”you pressured me into taking this step, so I will let you be the first person to experience it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yun’s sword moved.

”Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.”

The Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent surged into the sword art without reservation. In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to turn crimson. Endless Slaughter Sword Qi gathered around Li Yun, and one sword after another condensed in the air.

One hundred.

Three hundred.

Five hundred.

One thousand.

In only a few breaths, thousands of crimson slaughter qi swords appeared around Li Yun. Each sword was sharper and more terrifying than the hundreds of sword qi swords he had unleashed earlier.

Every blade carried the pressure of Xiantian Stage Slaughter Sword Intent, and their killing power was enough to make the surrounding space distort faintly.
