Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Half a month of secluded cultivation allowed Li Yun’s cultivation to reach the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm. He had already been at the very peak of the 4th level of Earthly Core Realm, and the resources he had obtained from the underground palace allowed him to rapidly climb three small levels in one stretch.

With his current strength, he could already swing the Grand Profound Five Elements Sword twice in succession. His Soul Sword Control Art had also improved to the point where he could simultaneously control nine hundred precious swords.

However, after reaching nine hundred precious swords, Soul Sword Control Art also reached a difficult threshold. From this point onward, even controlling one more precious sword would cause the difficulty to increase exponentially.

In the process of moving from the third level to the fourth level of Soul Sword Control Art, nine hundred precious swords was one threshold, while nine hundred and ninety-nine precious swords was another. Breaking through either of these two barriers would be extremely difficult.

’I will have to think of a way to break through this later.’

After that, Li Yun opened his status.

[Name: Li Yun]

– Cultivation: [7th level of Earthly Core Realm]

– Physique: [Primal Chaos Body]

– Bloodline: [Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline]

– Eye: [(1)Nine Tribulations Divine Eye (Left)]

– Spirit Soul: [Violet]

– Comprehension: [7th Tier]

– Experience: [410,000]

’I have enough experience points to level up the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye and my bloodline.’

Thinking this, Li Yun immediately used fifty thousand experience points to raise his Nine Tribulations Divine Eye to the second tribulation. Then, he used another two hundred thousand experience points to unlock a new bloodline ability of his Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline.

The new bloodline ability was called Dragon Blood Transformation.

If the previous ability, Golden Dragon Armor, covered his body with golden scales and focused mainly on defense, then Dragon Blood Transformation transformed his body from both the inside and outside using the power of his bloodline.

Golden Dragon Armor leaned toward defense.

Dragon Blood Transformation was purely offensive.

After successfully unlocking another bloodline ability of his Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, Li Yun entered a secluded area and went through the lightning tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye.

Since he had just raised the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye to the second tribulation, he had to undergo the second lightning tribulation of this divine eye.

Soon, the lightning tribulation arrived.

However, Li Yun was now an Earthly Core Realm cultivator with combat power rivaling the peak of Heavenly Core Realm. Because of that, he easily survived the lightning tribulation and fully awakened the second level of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye.

”Next, it is time to set off for the Annihilation Battlefield.”

Li Yun stood up, and a sudden burst of sharp light erupted from his eyes.

The Annihilation Battlefield could be described as the most famous and most dangerous tempering ground in the Azure Void Region. Compared with Darkwood Forest, this Annihilation Battlefield was countless times larger.

Darkwood Forest only spanned dozens of prefectures, but the Annihilation Battlefield stretched across several domains and connected multiple regions.

There, a 1st level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator was only at the lowest level of existence. Such people could even be called cannon fodder, ant-like existences that might perish at any moment. Even 3rd and 4th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivators could only barely gain a foothold there. If one was careless or unlucky, death could come at any time.

Even experts at the 6th level of Heavenly Core Realm could not guarantee absolute safety. If they were careless, they might fall there and never be able to come out.

Of course, corresponding to danger was great opportunity.

In that place, precious treasures could be found everywhere. There were spiritual artifacts and legacies left behind by experts, as well as various spirit treasures rarely seen in the outside world. These things only emerged in special areas. As long as one had enough strength and luck, one could advance by leaps and bounds and rise rapidly.

Even without the changes involving the Ironblood Sect, Li Yun had planned to venture there after possessing Heavenly Core Realm combat power. Now, it was even more necessary for him to make the trip.

”Master, are you leaving?”

Ye Qingxue’s eyes were filled with reluctance.

She had only followed Li Yun in cultivation for a short time, but she had already deeply felt that Li Yun’s understanding of the Sword Dao was profound and vast like the stars.

She truly hoped to stay by Li Yun’s side and follow him for a longer period of cultivation.

”Yes.”

Li Yun nodded and said, ”My journey to the Annihilation Battlefield this time will be extremely dangerous. Even for me, a slight oversight could lead to death. During this time, you should stay in the secret realm and cultivate well. Before breaking through to the Heavenly Core Realm, do not go out casually.”

”Alright.”

Ye Qingxue bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

Li Yun could naturally see Ye Qingxue’s reluctance, but while the master led one through the door, cultivation still depended on the individual. He had already laid the foundation of the Sword Dao for Ye Qingxue, and her later cultivation would have to rely on herself.

Soon, Li Yun bid farewell to Peak Lord Shen Yuan, his family, and the others one by one. Finally, without disturbing anyone else, he quietly left Ascending Martial Gate.

From the Southern Martial Domain to the Annihilation Battlefield was an extremely long distance. Even with Li Yun’s current strength, traveling at full speed would take at least a month. If delays occurred on the road, spending two or three months would also be normal.

Li Yun naturally would not waste time on the road.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month passed, and Li Yun finally arrived at the Severed Blade Mountain Range.

The Severed Blade Mountain Range was the last obstacle before the Annihilation Battlefield. As long as one crossed this mountain range, one could enter the Annihilation Battlefield.
