Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

At some unknown time, the passage entrance to the third floor of the Lost Treasury had actually been sealed off.

The entrance was covered by a thick layer of black qi. More accurately, it was not ordinary black qi, but a barrier formed from pure devilish qi. Clearly, breaking this barrier would not be something that could be done in a short time.

”Hehehe.”

One of the black-robed masked men spoke. He let out a cold laugh, and his voice sounded sinister and terrifying as he spoke slowly. ”Everyone, do not waste your effort. Today, all of you will die here. All of you are destined to become sacrifices for the resurgence of my Ironblood Sect.”

”Ironblood Sect?”

As soon as those words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Any cultivator from the Azure Void Region, as long as they had even a little common sense, knew just how heavy the name Ironblood Sect was.

Each of the Seven Great Powers of the Azure Void Region was a hegemon-level existence. Yet when facing the Ironblood Sect, the Seven Great Powers had no choice but to set aside their hatred and join forces. This alone showed how terrifying the Ironblood Sect had once been.

”How is that possible? The Ironblood Sect was wiped out long ago. How could you possibly be from the Ironblood Sect?”

”I do not believe it!”

Many people still refused to believe this fact, shaking their heads repeatedly.

”A bunch of fools.”

The black-robed masked man sneered. ”How could my esteemed Ironblood Sect be wiped out by a mere Seven Great Powers? It will not be long before those so-called Seven Great Powers are all annihilated. Unfortunately, none of you will live to see that day.”

”Take action. Kill them all.”

As the black-robed masked man finished speaking, he and the other two who had killed Bloodmoon Spear King actually took the initiative to attack, charging toward Li Yun and the others at the same time.

”Hate Devil Formation!”

As they charged, overwhelming devilish qi emanated from their bodies. Their positions were clearly deliberate, forming a formation that linked the devilish qi of all three together and made their auras even more terrifying.

”Great Devil Hand Seal!”

Suddenly, all three of them struck at the same time.

Three pitch-black hands appeared. One slammed toward Wine Monk, one struck toward Mu Cangyang, and the remaining hand enveloped all the other cultivators, including Li Yun.

”Arrogant!”

”Fight them with everything we have!”

The arrogant attitude of the black-robed masked men finally enraged everyone. No matter how powerful this man in black was, he was still only one person in their eyes. To think he could take on dozens of cultivators by himself was simply too arrogant.

For a moment, all the powerhouses erupted. Surging essence qi poured out, and the attacks of dozens of people merged together, flooding toward the black-robed masked man like a tidal wave.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

That pitch-black hand pressed down fiercely.

With a loud bang, aside from Li Yun and a few others, nearly ninety percent of the dozens of cultivators were forced to retreat explosively.

Among them, thirty percent were sent flying backward like kites with cut strings.

”How can they be this strong?”

For a moment, everyone was horrified. They stared at the man in black with disbelief.

With so many people joining forces, even a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm powerhouse would likely have to avoid their combined might. Yet this man in black had actually suppressed so many of them by himself.

’This Hate Devil Formation is no ordinary formation.’

Li Yun immediately saw through the trick.

To be honest, although this man in black was strong, he was not unbeatable. At most, he was on the same level as Bloodmoon Spear King, or perhaps even slightly weaker.

However, the Hate Devil Formation allowed him to connect his cultivation with the other two men in black. Under the influence of this formation, any one of the three could unleash the combined power of all three.

On the other side, Mu Cangyang and Wine Monk also suffered setbacks.

Wine Monk fared slightly better. He merely swayed for a moment before steadying himself. Mu Cangyang, however, let out a muffled groan and was forced back more than a dozen steps.

Fortunately, Mu Cangyang was a body cultivator who specialized in physical training. Otherwise, if it had been any other cultivator ranked around twentieth on the Earth Ranking, they would likely have died on the spot from that palm strike.

The strength of the three men in black chilled everyone’s hearts. What made things worse was that there were still three more men in black who had yet to take action.

Thinking of the other three men in black, Li Yun’s mind stirred, and he looked toward them.

At this sight, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

At this moment, those three had already reached the ancient coffins. All three coffins had been opened by them, revealing the bodies of three powerhouses within.

Although the three powerhouses had been dead for a very long time, their bodies showed no signs of decay. Instead, they still faintly exuded a powerful pressure.

Once a cultivator reached the Spirit Manifestation Realm, their body would not decay easily even after death. The stronger the cultivator had been in life, the longer their body could remain intact after death.

Among the three powerhouses, one wore a kasaya, one wore Daoist robes, and the last was dressed like a Confucian scholar. However, at this moment, the peaceful faces of all three were shrouded beneath a thick layer of black qi.

Each of the three black-robed masked men held a black staff and chanted incantations in a low voice. As they continued chanting, wisps of black qi drifted out from the staffs and flowed into the bodies of the three powerhouses.

Gradually, the black qi covering the three bodies became thicker and thicker. Their faces and arms were completely covered, and strange, sinister black patterns slowly began appearing on their skin.
