Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

”Good.”

Li Yun muttered softly, and the Profound Origin Sword appeared in his hand. ”Let me see just how far my current strength can go.”

The sword immortal puppet continued to suppress the three life-bound puppets in the distance, while Li Yun stepped forward alone to face the spider puppet.

He was not retreating.

He was testing himself.

”Slow Sword.”

Li Yun’s sword moved.

It was slow, calm, and strangely mysterious. The instant the spider puppet’s eight scythe-like limbs descended, Li Yun’s blade swept across them with a rhythm that seemed to ignore common sense. His sword was not fast, yet it still found the weakest points in the puppet’s assault.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A series of metallic explosions rang out.

Li Yun was sent sliding backward more than ten meters, but he remained standing, and his eyes grew brighter instead.

So this was the power of a peak 9th level Heavenly Core Realm puppet.

Its strength was indeed terrifying.

Yet the pressure it gave him was not something he feared.

Instead, it only made his blood stir more fiercely.

The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy sneered. ”Kid, did you really think you could fight a peak 9th level Heavenly Core Realm puppet with only your own strength? How laughable.”

Li Yun ignored him completely.

He only stared at the spider puppet.

Then, he raised his sword again.

This time, two Sword Intents erupted from his body at the same time.

One was crimson, cold, and filled with boundless killing intent. It was his Slaughter Sword Intent, already at thirty percent mastery in the Xiantian Stage.

The other was pale, ancient, and filled with an undying sharpness that seemed eternal. It was his Immortal Sword Intent, already at twenty percent mastery in the Xiantian Stage.

The moment these two Sword Intents appeared together, the surrounding air trembled.

Their powers did not clash.

Instead, they overlapped.

The crimson Slaughter Sword Intent wrapped around his sword like a sea of blood, while Immortal Sword Intent formed a pale undying edge over the blade. The overlap of the two instantly caused Li Yun’s sword aura to rise again.

The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy’s smile faded slightly.

Li Yun’s aura had changed completely.

”This is more like it.”

Li Yun softly exhaled.

Now, he was truly beginning to test his limits.

”Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.”

His sword swept outward.

In an instant, hundreds of crimson slaughter qi swords appeared around him and shot toward the spider puppet like a blood-red storm. Each small sword contained terrifying killing power, and every one of them was enhanced by his Slaughter Sword Intent.

At the same time, pale immortal light flowed across their edges.

”Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge.”

The immortal edge sank into the slaughter swords, making them even sharper and harder to destroy.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The hundreds of slaughter swords rained down onto the spider puppet, striking its body again and again. This time, unlike before, the puppet’s body no longer remained completely unharmed. Fine cracks began to appear where the slaughter swords landed, and faint sparks burst out continuously.

Li Yun’s eyes flashed.

His attack could harm it.

That alone was enough.

But the spider puppet was still extremely tough. With a violent surge of evil qi, it charged straight through the rain of slaughter swords. Its eight scythe limbs slashed wildly, tearing apart dozens of the small swords and descending on Li Yun once more.

Li Yun took one step forward instead of retreating.

He wanted to test more.

He wanted to see how far his own combat power could go against a peak 9th level Heavenly Core Realm existence.

The Indestructible Body within him erupted.

His blood energy surged like an ocean. His flesh, bones, and meridians all released astonishing physical power, making his body feel like a divine mountain forged from heaven and earth.

At the same time, his cultivation at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm erupted fully.

His chaos qi roared through his body like a torrent.

”Grand Profound Five Elements Sword.”

Li Yun slashed out.

This strike was no longer only infused with Slaughter Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent. He also poured his Five Elements Intent into it.

Five-colored brilliance exploded from the blade. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth fused together into a perfect cycle. With the addition of the overlapping Slaughter and Immortal Sword Intents, the Sword Light became terrifyingly powerful.

Boom!

The five-colored Sword Qi collided with the spider puppet head-on.

This time, the result was completely different from before.

One of the puppet’s emerald scythe limbs was directly chopped off.

The severed limb flew through the air, and the spider puppet let out a strange shriek as it staggered backward for the first time.

The Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy’s expression changed completely.

His earlier contempt had disappeared.

Li Yun had actually cut off one of the spider puppet’s forelimbs while still only being at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm.

This was no longer simply monstrous.

It was terrifying.

But Li Yun did not stop.

His eyes burned with battle intent.

He had already realized something clearly. Against an ordinary 9th level Heavenly Core Realm expert, his strength at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm was already enough to gravely threaten them. But a peak 9th level Heavenly Core Realm combatant, especially one with this kind of overwhelming physical strength and defense, was still far from easy to kill.

Still, this was exactly the result he wanted.

The higher one climbed in the Heavenly Core Realm, the more frightening the gap became.

And right now, he was measuring that gap with his own sword.

”Again.”

Li Yun’s figure flashed.

He used Slow Sword again, weaving through the spider puppet’s attacks with impossible precision. At the same time, the remnants of Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art continued to harass the puppet from every direction, while his main body launched one powerful strike after another.

Grand Profound Five Elements Sword.

Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.

Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge.

Slow Sword.

Indestructible Body.

Slaughter Sword Intent.

Immortal Sword Intent.

He was using everything he currently possessed.

This was not recklessness.

This was testing.

He was using the Ochre-Robed Holy Envoy’s strongest puppet to test the true limits of his own combat power.

The battle instantly grew fierce.
