Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Grand Profound Five Elements Sword.”

Li Yun advanced instead of retreating and swung his sword.

A Sword Qi containing five-colored divine light erupted, extending dozens of feet. The Sword Qi pulsed with terrifying force, cutting through everything before crashing violently into the dark blade glow and slicing it apart.

But before the small black figure disappeared, it left behind a few words.

”Li Yun, it seems you are truly special. Fine, I will let you live a bit longer until the Holy Son personally comes to take your life. Hahahaha!”

Watching the dark little figure dissipate, Li Yun’s expression remained calm and indifferent.

”Wait. Holy Son? Could he be referring to the Ironblood Holy Son?”

Suddenly, Li Yun frowned.

He recalled the words the dark little figure had left before dissipating, and his expression instantly became grave.

The one who had attacked just now was undoubtedly one of the Ironblood Holy Son’s Seven Holy Envoys. Although Li Yun was somewhat wary of these seven envoys, he was not overly concerned.

After all, among these Seven Holy Envoys, the strongest was only at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm. With his current strength, they were not a major problem.

But if the Ironblood Holy Son himself came, things would become troublesome.

It had to be known that Yan Wuhen, the Ironblood Holy Son, had once slain a Spirit Manifestation Realm existence. Although that person had only been at the weakest level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, it was still the Spirit Manifestation Realm.

An existence capable of killing a Spirit Manifestation Realm expert was definitely not something the current Li Yun could handle easily. If Yan Wuhen truly came, it would likely become a nightmare for Li Yun and the others.

”Regardless, when soldiers come, we block them. When water comes, we dam it. The top priority now is to quickly improve my own strength.”

Shaking his head, Li Yun cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Whoosh!

His figure flashed as he continued to venture through the Annihilation Battlefield, heading straight toward its depths.

Only by placing oneself in dangerous situations could one fully stimulate one’s potential and allow one’s strength to improve.

Creak!

Half a month later, while Li Yun was walking along the road, a strange sound suddenly came from ahead.

Then, a corpse actually stood up on its own, even though there was no wind.

The corpse was covered in green fur, and its eyes glowed with a sinister green light. A green ray suddenly shot out from its eyes, speeding toward Li Yun.

”Hm?”

Li Yun raised an eyebrow and immediately swung his sword, directly deflecting the green ray to the side.

Sizzle!

The green ray landed on the ground and instantly corroded a large pit. The pit was nearly half a meter deep and a full meter in diameter, showing just how terrifyingly corrosive the green light was.

”Evil Corpse.”

Li Yun’s expression turned grave.

Cultivators with sufficiently powerful cultivation could keep their corpses from decaying after death. Over time, corpse qi would be born. When that corpse qi became strong enough, it would begin to affect the corpse itself.

If the deceased had been a kind and righteous person, it would not be a big problem. But if the deceased had been a cultivator who practiced evil demonic techniques, then a mutation would occur, giving birth to an Evil Corpse.

Although these creatures lacked intelligence, they possessed immense strength and extremely powerful defenses. Often, they were more troublesome and harder to deal with than when they had been alive.

”Slow Sword.”

Li Yun immediately swung his sword.

However, the sharp Sword Qi landed on the Evil Corpse and only made it sway a few times without causing any real damage.

”Its defense is truly terrifying.”

Li Yun frowned.

Although the Evil Corpse only emitted the aura of the 6th level of Heavenly Core Realm, its defense surpassed that of an ordinary 8th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator.

Crack!

At that moment, the Evil Corpse suddenly leaped up, jumping more than ten meters high. Its seemingly clumsy body was actually quite agile. In an instant, it appeared before Li Yun.

Its claw, covered in green fur, viciously swiped down at him.

”Grand Profound Five Elements Sword.”

Li Yun snorted coldly and used Aurora Step to shift sideways.

Then, he swung his sword.

Snap!

Instantly, the Evil Corpse was cut in half at the waist, its body directly severed into two sections.

But even so, the Evil Corpse still had not lost its vitality. Its upper body suddenly leaped again, lunging toward Li Yun once more.

”Sword Control Art.”

Li Yun uncorked the Sword-Nurturing Gourd.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine precious swords shot out at the same time, instantly piercing through the Evil Corpse’s body and completely destroying it.

”Hm?”

Just as he killed the Evil Corpse, a sudden flash of insight rose in Li Yun’s heart.

He knew that after half a month of trials, his cultivation had finally reached the brink of a breakthrough.

He immediately sat down cross-legged.

His chaos qi boiled like water reaching its boiling point, then finally overflowed. At this moment, his cultivation officially reached the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm.

With this breakthrough, his strength was now sufficient to contend against almost any Heavenly Core Realm expert.

”To survive in the Annihilation Battlefield for more than a month at the Earthly Core Realm, and not only remain alive but also advance further to the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm... Li Yun, I must say, you have surprised me.”

Just then, an eerie voice suddenly rang out.

This voice contained a strange and bewitching power that made one involuntarily become intoxicated by it.

Then, a pale and sinister young man slowly walked forward, accompanied by three Holy Envoys in amber, ochre, and emerald robes.

Standing beside him, those three Holy Envoys seemed to shrink in stature.

The young man wore a faint smile on his face. It was a very sinister smile, yet it carried a peculiar confidence, as if everything between heaven and earth was under his control, and his words were the absolute truth of this world.

His gaze was sinister and profound, like a bottomless vortex. Cultivators whose minds were not firm enough would likely lose themselves and forget their own existence the moment they met his eyes.

The Ironblood Holy Son, Yan Wuhen.
