Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Eat, eat, eat!”

The densely packed Hungry Ghosts actually ignored Li Yun and began devouring each other.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the Hungry Ghosts were eaten by their own kind. Their numbers instantly dropped from more than a hundred thousand to only tens of thousands.

”Eat, eat, eat, eat!”

After devouring their companions, the remaining Hungry Ghosts seemed to grow even more excited. They let out wails like ghosts and howls like wolves as they accelerated their horrifying feast.

In only two or three breaths, the number of Hungry Ghosts dwindled to only a few thousand.

This kind of mutual devouring was truly terrifying.

The remaining thousands of Hungry Ghosts had all grown to three meters tall. The aura emitted by each one had reached the Earthly Core Realm, while the strongest among them even rivaled experts at the peak of Earthly Core Realm.

’Oh no. These Hungry Ghosts are devouring each other to increase their power.’

Li Yun immediately realized what was happening.

Since the difficulty of the first level, the Hell Path, was already so high, the Hungry Ghost Path naturally would not be simpler than the Hell Path.

If he left them alone and allowed these Hungry Ghosts to devour each other until the end, an incredibly terrifying monster would likely be born.

While this thought flashed through his mind, the number of Hungry Ghosts dropped again, leaving only a few hundred. These remaining Hungry Ghosts all possessed the strength of the Heavenly Core Realm.

’I cannot delay any longer.’

”Kill.”

Li Yun gave a cold snort and struck directly with his sword.

His speed reached its limit, and a streak of light like a lightning bolt instantly cleaved several Hungry Ghosts to death.

Crunch! Crunch!

But immediately, the nearby Hungry Ghosts grabbed those corpses without hesitation and devoured them in large mouthfuls, producing hair-raising sounds.

This scene caused Li Yun’s expression to change slightly.

Clearly, simply killing the Hungry Ghosts was useless. He had to completely pulverize them to stop them from continuing to devour each other and increase their power.

”Sword Control Art.”

He let out a sharp cry, and nine hundred and ninety-nine precious swords whistled out at the same time, completely pulverizing the Hungry Ghost nearest to him.

However, in the next moment, another Hungry Ghost beside it suddenly opened its mouth and inhaled, devouring all the bits of flesh and scattered fragments.

”Even this cannot stop it?”

Li Yun’s face darkened.

It seemed that the mutual devouring of these Hungry Ghosts was something that simply could not be stopped. He could only wait until the devouring reached its conclusion and then defeat the final Hungry Ghost that was born from it.

”Eat, eat, eat!”

Amid the excited howls of the Hungry Ghosts, the hundreds of ghosts were reduced to only two in the blink of an eye.

Finally, one of the Hungry Ghosts viciously tore its opponent apart and swallowed it whole.

Whoosh!

After devouring the last Hungry Ghost, that ghost’s body rapidly expanded until it became three hundred meters tall. A pair of fleshy lumps grew from its head, quickly turning into a pair of demonic horns that emitted an incomparably evil aura.

This Hungry Ghost had clearly evolved into a Hungry Ghost King.

The aura it emitted was comparable to the 6th level of Heavenly Core Realm.

”Eat. I still want to eat.”

The Hungry Ghost King howled, and its gaze finally landed on Li Yun. Its eyes lit up as it let out an excited roar and suddenly opened its mouth, causing a massive suction force to explode outward.

”Not good.”

Li Yun’s expression changed, and he immediately used Aurora Step to shift his body away.

”Slow Sword.”

He suddenly swung his sword, but the sharp Sword Qi landed on the Hungry Ghost King’s body without causing any damage.

This Hungry Ghost King’s defensive power was incredibly fearsome.

”Roar!”

The Hungry Ghost King roared toward the sky, and its pair of demonic horns radiated a strange light that suddenly shot down toward Li Yun, instantly binding his entire body.

’This is bad.’

Entangled by this strange light, Li Yun’s face changed.

This strange light actually contained some kind of binding force that prevented him from using his chaos qi, making it almost impossible for him to move.

”Eat! I want to eat!”

The Hungry Ghost King roared and brought its palm crashing down toward Li Yun.

If this palm strike landed solidly, it would undoubtedly crush Li Yun into meat paste.

”Seven Slaughter Fist.”

At the critical moment, Li Yun’s physical strength erupted.

His entire body released a brilliant white light, directly snapping the shackles of that strange light. Then, his figure flickered as he dodged the palm strike.

”Dreamlike Bubble.”

He swung his sword.

This strike was like a dream, beautiful and exquisite, making one unable to resist being drawn into it.

Looking at this sword strike, the Hungry Ghost King’s body suddenly froze, showing a look of confusion. It actually stayed in place for a full three breaths before finally waking up.

”Hm?”

Li Yun could not help feeling surprised.

He had not expected this sword strike to have much effect. He had only swung it casually to buy some time, but he had not expected it to work so well.

’That is it.’

In the next moment, he understood.

’Although their physical bodies were easy to digest as these Hungry Ghosts devoured each other, their souls were not so easily assimilated. This caused its soul aura to become messy and chaotic. With only a little influence, it can easily collapse.’

’In that case...’

A sharp cold light burst from his eyes as he shouted.

”Thunder Rain Soul-Seizing Sword.”

Boom!

Thunder exploded.

In the Hungry Ghost King’s pupils, a torrential rain poured down. The endless rain fell like sharp Sword Qi, emitting a piercing aura as it stabbed toward its soul.

”Roar!”

The Hungry Ghost King let out a shrill and miserable scream.

Its massive body swayed, and after barely supporting itself for a few breaths, it finally exploded completely with a loud bang.
