Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

The sudden turn of events left everyone utterly shocked.

No one had expected Luo Chen to still have another hidden card. He had actually concealed a technique like the Taiji Magic Array.

The Taiji Magic Array was a renowned formation of the Profound Heaven Sect. Once activated, any cultivator trapped within its range would become completely unable to utilize their essence qi.

Of course, this formation was not invincible. If the strength of the trapped cultivator far surpassed the person who had set up the formation, they could forcibly break free through raw power.

However, in everyone’s eyes, Li Yun clearly did not possess such strength. With his essence qi sealed, it seemed highly likely that he might actually be killed by Luo Chen.

This further showed just how difficult it was to advance to the sixth floor of the Floating Island.

After all, those who could reach the fifth floor were not weaklings. It was almost impossible to guarantee that none of them possessed hidden techniques or secret cards. Maintaining an uninterrupted winning streak against such opponents was naturally an incredibly difficult task.

”Taiji Magic Array?”

Within the range of the formation, Li Yun’s gaze turned icy, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, this formation had sealed his chaos qi and prevented him from using its power. Moreover, he could feel that his chaos qi was resisting the seal every passing seconds and it was only a matter of a few more seconds before his chaos qi broke out from the seal.

However, Li Yun was not someone who relied only on chaos qi techniques.

”Soul Suppressing Nine Strikes, Third Strike!”

He roared, and his body erupted with dazzling white light as he fully activated his body’s strength. Then, he threw a fierce punch toward a weak point of the Taiji Magic Array.

Boom!

Enhanced by Soul Suppressing Nine Strikes, the power of this punch reached nine times Li Yun’s normal strength. It was a terrifying force capable of pulverizing even a massive mountain into dust.

Rumble!

With a deafening explosion, the Taiji Magic Array was shattered by Li Yun’s single punch.

”What?”

Luo Chen’s half-extended palm froze in mid-air. He stood there stunned, almost unable to believe his own eyes.

Li Yun had shattered the Taiji Magic Array with one punch.

Was he a monster?

”Slow Sword!”

Before Luo Chen could fully process what had happened, a strand of Sword Qi burst forth. It shimmered with four colors and was infused with the power of the Four Elements. In an instant, it shot forward and cleanly severed Luo Chen’s head.

Luo Chen died on the spot.

Gazing at Luo Chen’s headless corpse, Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent. There was no trace of sympathy in his eyes.

Unlike earlier opponents such as Mo Qingyao and Ye Qingmu, who had only been adversaries and had not harbored killing intent, Luo Chen had crossed the line. Li Yun had spared those two and had even unintentionally guided Mo Qingyao, but Luo Chen was different.

Since Luo Chen had revealed killing intent and used the Taiji Magic Array in an attempt to kill him, Li Yun naturally had no reason to show mercy.

”Luo Chen is dead?”

”He shattered the Taiji Magic Array with one punch? My heavens, is Li Yun some kind of humanoid beast?”

”Can someone tell me what is going on? Is Li Yun not a sword cultivator? Why does he also have such terrifying physical strength?”

Watching Li Yun’s cold and indifferent expression, which was like that of a god of slaughter, the surrounding crowd could not help gasping. A chill ran down their spines, leaving their entire bodies cold.

If even the Taiji Magic Array could not stop Li Yun, then what possibly could?

Could it be that Li Yun would truly trample over countless experts, ascend to the sixth floor of the Floating Island, and reach the peak of the Earthly Core Realm?

Whoosh!

Without giving the crowd much time to think, the seventh battle began.

This opponent was a loose cultivator, but his strength was not much weaker than Luo Chen’s. Even so, he was still decisively defeated by Li Yun.

In the eighth battle, Li Yun’s opponent was Fang Canglan.

Fang Canglan was also a loose cultivator, but his strength was genuinely impressive. He was nearly on the same level as Jian Wuhen and Feng Qingxiao. Even Li Yun had to exert considerable effort before finally defeating him.

Finally, the ninth battle arrived.

Li Yun versus Jian Wuhen.

Both of them came from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and both of them were geniuses of the Sword Dao. Now, these two fellow disciples were about to clash.

”Li Yun!”

Jian Wuhen took a step forward, and his aura skyrocketed wildly. A sharp and unparalleled Sword Intent surged from him, making him shine like a precious sword that had been polished for years, radiating immense brilliance.

”I never imagined that our Heavenly Sword Sect would produce a genius like you. At the 1st level of Earthly Core Realm, you already possess such strength. Given enough time, you might even top the Heaven Ranking.”

Sword Intent soared from Jian Wuhen’s entire body as he roared, ”But that is something for the future. Today, you will fall by my hand. Within this Floating Island, I alone am the strongest sword cultivator.”

The Sword Dao was a path of slaughter. When two sword cultivators clashed, sparks were bound to fly.

”It is finally starting. In this internal battle of the Heavenly Sword Sect between Li Yun and Jian Wuhen, who will emerge victorious?”

”Regardless of who wins, the Heavenly Sword Sect benefits greatly. Having one genius of this caliber is already an incredible fortune, let alone two at once.”

”The worry is that when two tigers fight, one will inevitably be injured. This battle might not end easily.”

As the battle between Li Yun and Jian Wuhen approached, the surrounding cultivators became excited. This fight might determine who would become the top swordsman of the Azure Void Region in ten or twenty years.

Not only the ordinary cultivators, but also Feng Qingxiao, Fang Canglan, Ye Qingmu, Mo Qingyao, and many other experts who had previously been defeated by Li Yun watched with solemn expressions.

If Li Yun could maintain his momentum and defeat Jian Wuhen, he might truly have a chance to reach the sixth floor.

But if he failed to defeat Jian Wuhen, or if he exhausted too much essence qi in this battle, getting past Feng Qingxiao afterward would likely be far from simple.

”Make your move.”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Yun remained calm and uttered only those three words.

”Very well!”

Jian Wuhen let out a fierce roar. ”Li Yun, since I began cultivating the sword, I have never yearned for a battle as much as I do now. Today, I shall temper my Sword Dao with your blood.”

”Wind-Fire Annihilation Sword!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, fierce winds spread and blazing flames erupted.

Black winds howled, carrying terrifying power capable of annihilating everything. Alongside those winds, scalding golden flames burned fiercely, causing the temperature of the entire area to rise sharply.

The wind fueled the flames, and the flames strengthened the wind.
