Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

With everyone working together, the sixth round of demon beasts was soon completely killed.

A moment later, the seventh round of demon beasts appeared.

Under the gazes of Shi Tianming and the others, Li Yun still used only one sword strike to kill all the demon beasts attacking him.

The eighth and ninth rounds were the same.

By this point, no matter how unwilling Shi Tianming and the others were, they had no choice but to admit that Li Yun was not using some special method. He truly possessed that level of strength.

This made Shi Tianming’s expression turn extremely ugly.

Although he had the strength of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm, compared to Li Yun, he was only marginally stronger and did not possess a clear advantage.

Clearly, he had underestimated Li Yun.

Worse than that, he had created a formidable enemy for himself out of nothing.

”Next, it is time for a breakthrough.”

At the same time, Li Yun turned his palm over.

More than forty crystal-clear crystal cores floated before him, radiating brilliant luster.

During the previous four rounds of demon beast attacks, he had not made many moves. He had only taken about ten crystal cores each time. Therefore, after four rounds, he had around forty crystal cores in hand.

However, these crystal cores were already enough for him to break through to the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.

Wasting no more time, he began absorbing the power of the forty-plus crystal cores with his fully awakened Devouring Intent.

One crystal core after another withered and dissipated.

Meanwhile, the true qi within his body became as restless as boiling water.

Finally, after absorbing the energy of the thirty-seventh crystal core, his cultivation broke through to the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.

Before this breakthrough, Li Yun could only rival experts at the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm.

Now, he was confident that he had enough strength to kill an ordinary expert at the 1st level of Spirit Manifestation Realm. In fact, he even believed that he could fight an ordinary expert at the 2nd level of Spirit Manifestation Realm.

Afterward, Li Yun absorbed all the remaining crystal cores, thoroughly stabilizing his cultivation at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.

His chaos qi showed not the slightest sign of instability.

It was as pure as always.

Now, among all the cultivators present, there was no one he feared.

”Damn it.”

Sensing the formidable aura emanating from Li Yun, Shi Tianming’s expression changed drastically.

Before Li Yun’s breakthrough, he already possessed top-tier 9th level Heavenly Core Realm strength. Now that he had broken through, did that not mean his combat power was already equivalent to the peak of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm and on par with Shi Tianming himself?

”Senior Brother Shi, what do we do now?”

Standing beside Shi Tianming were two other cultivators at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm. Their faces were equally grim as they asked in low voices.

Before this, they had also mocked Li Yun without restraint and had stood in the same camp as Shi Tianming.

It could be said that they had already thoroughly offended Li Yun.

After witnessing Li Yun’s breakthrough, they finally felt fear.

After all, Li Yun was an elite disciple, and his status was far above theirs. If Li Yun truly wanted to make things difficult for them, he would definitely have countless methods at his disposal.

”What do we do?”

Shi Tianming’s expression changed several times before he suddenly grinned viciously. ”Since things have already reached this point, we might as well go all the way and kill this kid.”

”What?”

Although Shi Tianming’s voice was extremely low, the two cultivators were still startled.

They hastily glanced around. Only after confirming that no one was paying attention to them did they let out a sigh of relief.

It was not that they were cowardly.

It was simply that what Shi Tianming proposed was too shocking.

One had to know that in the entire outer sect of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect, across the Six Great Peaks, there were only one hundred and twenty elite disciples in total.

Each one was considered a treasure of the sect.

Murdering an elite disciple was a capital offense.

”Senior Brother Shi, I think we should forget it.”

One of the cultivators lowered his voice and whispered, ”The cost of doing this is too great. I am afraid we cannot afford it.”

”Who said we would do it ourselves?”

Shi Tianming sneered. ”Although Li Yun is an elite disciple, his cultivation is still too weak. During the challenge in the Endless Demon Cave, he was unfortunately killed by a demon beast. We did our utmost to save him, but our cultivation was insufficient, and we could not reach him in time. We were forced to watch helplessly as he perished. Is that not what happened?”

”This...”

The two cultivators were stunned for a moment before they immediately understood Shi Tianming’s intention.

Clearly, he planned to kill with a borrowed knife.

”But once the sect’s powerful experts use retrospective techniques, would this matter not still be exposed?”

”Then it will depend on luck.”

Shi Tianming said coldly, ”No matter what, we have already offended Li Yun. If we do not kill this kid here, then once we leave, we will be like fish on a chopping board, with no ability to resist at all.”

”Alright.”

Shi Tianming’s final words finally broke through the psychological defenses of the two men.

They exchanged a glance and said solemnly, ”Senior Brother Shi, how do you plan to do it?”

”It is simple.”

Shi Tianming said indifferently, ”After we pass the tenth round, the difficulty of the upcoming eleventh round will increase significantly. We will lure all the demon beasts toward Li Yun. I refuse to believe that he can withstand around forty demon beasts attacking him at once.”

”Good. Let us do it that way.”

The two cultivators nodded in unison, and ruthless lights flashed in their eyes.
