Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Although these demonic beasts only possess a trace of the bloodline legacy of ancient great demons, their strength and intelligence far surpass those of ordinary demonic beasts.”

The phantom of the middle-aged man in green robes continued speaking indifferently.

”When the trial begins, each of you will enter a separate area. Within every area, there will be one top-tier Rank Seven demonic beast, three high-level Rank Seven demonic beasts, and six intermediate Rank Seven demonic beasts. A top-tier Rank Seven demonic beast is worth ten points, a high-level Rank Seven demonic beast is worth five points, and an intermediate Rank Seven demonic beast is worth one point.”

”All of you will have three days. If you kill all the demonic beasts in your area, you may enter the areas of other cultivators and plunder their points.”

”After one month, the top twenty in points will pass through the Mountain-Sea Pass. The bottom twenty will lose their qualifications to continue challenging the trial, while the rest will remain and wait for the next batch before taking the test again.”

As the phantom of the middle-aged man in green robes finished speaking, the expressions of all the cultivators present became grave.

In ancient times, the Martial Dragon Continent had not been dominated by humans. Instead, it had been ruled by ancient great demons. Those ancient great demons each possessed innate divine abilities, and their strength was extremely terrifying. If not for their weak reproductive ability, they might never have been overthrown and replaced by the human race.

Although those ancient great demons had long ago been exterminated by the great masters of the human race, some demonic beasts had still inherited a trace of their bloodline legacy. Even a single trace of that legacy was enough to make their strength far surpass that of ordinary demonic beasts.

Dealing with these demonic beasts alone was already extremely troublesome. If one also had to guard against other cultivators entering to plunder points, then the danger would only become greater.

”Alright. Open the pass.”

The phantom of the middle-aged man in green robes paid no attention to everyone’s expressions. With a wave of his hand, the gates of the Mountain-Sea Pass rumbled open, revealing the embryonic form of a small world.

That small world contained towering mountain ranges and ancient trees that reached toward the sky. It exuded an ancient and powerful aura. Although it did not look especially large from the outside, that was only because of the concealment effect of a formation. Its true internal space was probably not much smaller than the Lost Great Desert.

”Go.”

Seeing the gates open, many cultivators exchanged glances and stepped into the small world one after another.

Just as Li Yun was about to follow them, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall upon him.

”Hm?”

His mind stirred, and he looked toward the direction of that gaze. When he saw the person staring at him, his expression changed slightly.

The owner of that sharp gaze was none other than Saber Fiend.

Back when Li Yun helped Prefect Mu Yun fight against Cloudrift Prefecture, he had once encountered Saber Fiend. Even someone as strong as Yue Cangshan had been defeated by Saber Fiend with a single slash and had nearly been killed on the spot.

If Saber Fiend’s age had not exceeded the limit of the Earth Ranking, then with his strength, he could have ranked at least within the top twenty.

”Li Yun, I never thought I would run into you here.”

Saber Fiend’s expression was cold. He flipped his palm, and a green jade token appeared in his hand. Then, with a squeeze, he crushed the token directly.

A green light immediately flew out and landed on Li Yun.

The moment he was enveloped by that green light, Li Yun instantly felt as if some kind of restriction had been added to his body. It gave him an indescribably strange and uncomfortable feeling.

”This green jade token is a Spirit-Tracking Token given to me by Prefect Zhang Wuxu. Once it is placed on a cultivator, I can sense that person’s presence no matter how far away they are.”

Saber Fiend spoke coldly. ”I owe Prefect Zhang Wuxu a favor. He once instructed me that if I encountered you, I should kill you directly. To repay this favor, Li Yun, I will kill you inside this small world.”

After speaking, Saber Fiend carried the chilling long saber on his back and stepped into the small world without hesitation.

Li Yun’s expression instantly turned cold.

Prefect Mu Yun had indeed warned him before that Prefect Zhang Wuxu was narrow-minded and extremely vengeful, but Li Yun had never expected that a dignified Heavenly Core Realm powerhouse and prefect would actually be so vindictive.

Li Yun had merely helped Prefect Mu Yun win one battle, yet Prefect Zhang Wuxu had already held such a grudge that he even instructed Saber Fiend to kill him. To be narrow-minded to this extent was truly difficult to describe.

If the person threatening Li Yun had been someone else, it might have been manageable. Unfortunately, it just had to be Saber Fiend.

For others, dealing with the demonic beasts inside this small world was already troublesome enough, let alone entering other areas to plunder points. However, Saber Fiend definitely possessed that kind of capability.

Li Yun had no doubt that Saber Fiend could sweep through all the demonic beasts in his own area and then enter Li Yun’s area to hunt him down.

’So what if he is Saber Fiend? If he dares to come, I will make sure he never returns.’

After his expression shifted for a moment, Li Yun’s face returned to calm. He took a step forward and also entered the small world.

In the next moment, his surroundings changed drastically.

He appeared beside a primeval forest. Ancient trees grew thickly around him, and every tree seemed to reach into the sky. Each one was several thousand meters tall, with roots coiled tightly like dragons. Their vast crowns spread out like giant umbrellas, completely blocking the sunlight. The entire forest was humid, gloomy, and eerie.

Rustle!

Suddenly, an ancient tree several hundred meters away from Li Yun began trembling violently.

Countless thick vines twisted wildly around it, emitting a faint green glow. That glow seemed to contain a strange power, causing Li Yun’s mind to blur for a brief moment. The scene before his eyes layered and overlapped, never quite aligning properly.

”Hmph.”

Li Yun snorted coldly.

Although he had been caught off guard, his soul was incredibly strong. Naturally, a single tree could not truly shake his mind. In an instant, his thoughts regained clarity.

He looked toward the ancient tree, and his expression became grave.

This ancient tree was only a high-level Rank Seven demonic beast, equivalent to a cultivator at the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm. However, because it possessed a trace of the bloodline legacy of an ancient great demon, it absolutely could not be underestimated.

The consequence of underestimating it would be death.

Rustle!

Suddenly, the vines on the ancient tree merged together, producing a loud cracking sound. In an instant, all the surrounding ancient trees seemed to sense a summons and began trembling wildly.

Countless ancient trees moved at the same time. Their sturdy dragon-like branches twisted frantically, while thick branches and vines lashed out from every direction, striking fiercely toward Li Yun.

Not only the ancient trees, but even the flowers, weeds, and various strange plants nearby began growing rapidly. They expanded at a visible speed, then coiled toward Li Yun like living creatures.

At this moment, it was as if a green tidal wave had surged forth like a tsunami. In only an instant, Li Yun was completely submerged.

This was the innate secret art that the ancient tree had inherited from its bloodline.

Control of All Surrounding Plants.
