Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”I did not expect the final floor’s test of the Six Paths Pagoda to be so abnormal.”

Li Yun gave a bitter smile.

There were only two ways to defeat an opponent with a Domain.

The first was to raise his cultivation to at least the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm. Then, he might be able to break the opponent’s Domain with brute force.

The second was to raise both his sword intents to such a high level that he could create a Domain of his own. A Domain formed from two powerful Sword Intents would be enough to defeat the white-robed man’s Domain.

But that was easier said than done.

It was almost impossible.

Even so, Li Yun had at most half a month. In such a short time, breaking through to the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm was also impossible.

Furthermore, he was not the only one inside the Six Paths Pagoda. Although the chance of others clearing all six floors was not high, it was not necessarily impossible. If someone else beat him to it, that would truly become an eternal regret.

The current situation seemed like a dead knot, completely unsolvable.

”No.”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Yun’s mind like lightning.

”Since the Six Paths Pagoda set up these tests and gave rewards after every stage, it means its purpose is definitely not to wipe out all challengers, but to select a sufficiently powerful genius. In other words, none of these tests can be absolutely unsolvable.”

”Every test here, though difficult, must have a way to be cracked. This final test should be the same.”

Thinking of this, the light in Li Yun’s eyes grew stronger.

His figure flickered, and he appeared beside the lake once again.

Just like last time, he was defeated by the white-robed man in only one move.

It was as if two cultivators of completely different levels were fighting.

There was no resistance at all.

But when he reappeared in the dim space, his eyes grew even brighter.

Sure enough, just as he had guessed, this white-robed man was not an unsolvable existence.

”As I suspected, the white-robed man’s Domain is not a complete Domain. It is only a Pseudo-Domain.”

A faint smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.

A true Domain should be singular, integrated, and whole. Its aura should be perfectly connected, without the slightest gap or flaw. Every inch of it should move according to its master’s will, like an independent world formed from that person’s power.

However, the white-robed man’s Domain was different.

On the surface, it looked flawless. The lake, mist, sky, and surrounding spiritual energy all seemed to have fused into one complete world. Yet whenever ripples appeared on the lake, a faint instability would flash through the Domain.

That was its weakness.

The white-robed man had hidden this flaw through an outward display of overwhelming power. If a cultivator did not possess a deep understanding of Domains or enough patience to observe carefully, they would never notice it.

Li Yun had noticed it.

However, noticing the flaw and breaking the Domain were two different matters.

To shatter this Pseudo-Domain, he needed to unleash power beyond the limit it could withstand. In other words, he needed an attack that could temporarily reach the level of Half-Step Spirit Manifestation Realm.

Li Yun lowered his gaze and silently felt the power within his body.

His two Sword Intents were already extremely powerful.

His Slaughter Sword Intent had reached fifty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.

His Immortal Sword Intent had reached forty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage.

If used separately, either one was enough to shock countless geniuses. If used together, their overlapping effect could raise the power of his sword attacks even further. However, Li Yun understood very clearly that this alone might still not be enough to break the white-robed man’s Pseudo-Domain.

He needed more.

He needed the full power of his body as well.

The seventh stage of the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture.

Indestructible Body.

And the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline.

Li Yun slowly clenched his fist.

”Since ordinary sword power is not enough, then I will use everything together.”

In the next moment, his body erupted with a terrifying physical aura.

His flesh, bones, meridians, and blood trembled at the same time. The power of Indestructible Body spread through every inch of him, causing his entire body to feel like divine iron that had been refined countless times. His vitality roared like an endless sea, and his physical strength rose sharply.

Then, golden light burst out from within him.

The Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline awakened.

An ancient and noble dragon pressure swept out from Li Yun’s body. It was overbearing, majestic, and filled with a natural dominance that seemed capable of suppressing all living beings. The calm surface of the lake immediately trembled, and ripples spread outward in every direction.

The white-robed man’s eyes moved slightly.

For the first time, a trace of change appeared in his expression.

But Li Yun was not finished.

”Dragon Blood Transformation.”

The moment these words fell, the golden light around Li Yun erupted completely.

Layer after layer of golden dragon scales appeared across his body. They spread over his arms, shoulders, chest, back, and legs, covering him like natural armor formed from an ancient dragon’s bloodline. Every scale shone with dazzling golden radiance, and every one contained terrifying defensive and strengthening power.

Li Yun’s aura rose wildly.

At this moment, he no longer looked like an ordinary swordsman. He looked like a half-dragon war god standing above the lake, holding a sword in his hand while golden light and crimson Sword Intent surrounded his body.

His raw physical strength surged to a terrifying degree.

His one-million-times body weight also fully awakened under the support of Indestructible Body and Dragon Blood Transformation. That horrifying weight no longer felt like a hidden burden. Instead, it became an invisible foundation supporting every movement he made.

When he stepped forward, the lake beneath him sank.

When his breathing deepened, the surrounding mist scattered.

When he raised his sword, the entire Pseudo-Domain trembled.

The white-robed man finally spoke.

”Even so, you still cannot defeat me. Before my Domain, all power will be suppressed.”

”Is that so?”

Li Yun smiled faintly. ”Then try taking this sword.”

He slowly raised his sword.

The crimson Slaughter Sword Intent erupted first.

It spread across the lake like a tide of blood, cold and merciless. The killing will contained within it was so pure that even the mist inside the Pseudo-Domain seemed to freeze.

Then, the pale Immortal Sword Intent appeared.

It carried an undying edge, ancient and eternal, as though it could survive through endless ages without fading. The moment it merged with Li Yun’s sword, his sword began to hum violently.

The two Sword Intents overlapped.

Slaughter gave the sword absolute killing power.

Immortality gave the sword an undying sharpness.
