Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

"With acting that poor, you still wanted to deceive me?"

Li Yun looked coldly at the corpse of the white-robed young man, and his gaze did not waver in the slightest.

The white-robed young man had thought his disguise was flawless, but in Li Yun’s eyes, it had been filled with flaws from the very beginning. Wanting to hide such crude killing intent from him was simply impossible.

After shaking his head, Li Yun glanced at the squirrels, green vines, and crimson trumpet flowers behind him, silently memorizing the location of this area.

With those strange creatures gathered here, this place could be considered a true death trap. Even an expert at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm would likely perish if they were careless enough to fall into this region. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Yun would do his best never to return.

After taking the storage rings from the white-robed young man and the others, Li Yun stripped them of their spirit stones and valuable treasures before quickly leaving the valley.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

During these ten days, Li Yun encountered wave after wave of assassination attempts.

Some people attacked him directly without saying a word. Some pretended to approach him with goodwill like the white-robed young man before suddenly launching a sneak attack. Others hid in the shadows and waited for a chance to strike. All kinds of assassination methods appeared one after another, truly broadening his experience.

Fortunately, most of these people were not especially strong. They were basically at the 7th or 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm, and after their assassination attempts failed, they were instead killed by Li Yun.

Of course, there were also several times when Li Yun fell into bitter battles. Once, he was even severely wounded by a sudden sneak attack that used a secret art, and the strike had nearly hit one of his vital points. In the end, however, Li Yun still proved slightly superior and killed the opponent, who had been at the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm.

Aside from those assassins, the dangers brought by Chaos Wind Island itself were no fewer than the dangers from his pursuers.

There were sunflowers that could spit flames, weeds that could freeze the soul, and tiny rabbits with strength comparable to 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts. The more harmless and insignificant something appeared, the more terrifying the danger hidden within it often was.

In this place, Li Yun could not afford even a moment of carelessness. A single mistake could very likely cause him to die miserably on the spot, turning him into yet another nameless corpse on the island.

However, under these dangerous circumstances, the pressure also stimulated Li Yun’s strength greatly. In only ten short days, he advanced from the 7th level of the Essence Qi Realm to the 8th level of the Essence Qi Realm.

"Nine Tribulations Divine Eye."

At a certain moment, Li Yun sat cross-legged on the ground and immediately activated the full power of the divine eye. His left eye gradually turned purple, and a mysterious light flickered within it.

As this happened, it was as though Li Yun had received a kind of divine blessing. Everything within a ten-mile radius became clearly visible to him, including the subtle movements of every blade of grass and every tree.

It was precisely because of this ability that Li Yun had been able to seek fortune and avoid disaster during this period, evading opponents at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm before they could surround him.

With the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye activated, Li Yun quickly saw that cultivators were approaching him from all directions. They were gradually forming an encirclement and blocking every possible escape route.

"The situation is becoming more and more severe."

Li Yun’s expression became grave.

During the previous ten days, although many people had been hunting him, most of them had been at the 7th or 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm. There had not been many true 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts among them.

However, as time passed, the number of 9th level Mortal Core Realm experts joining the hunt was clearly increasing.

Just like now, no matter which direction he chose to break through from, he would definitely encounter a 9th level Mortal Core Realm expert.

"The 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm..."

Li Yun’s expression became even more serious.

Although he could fight such opponents and even kill them under the right circumstances, fighting several of them in succession would still place him in a dangerous situation.

He was not particularly afraid of a single opponent at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm. The real problem was that once he was held back, other cultivators would quickly rush over. If he fell into a complete encirclement, even he would surely face death.

"Delay will only bring more trouble. I must find a place to break through. I am already close to the 9th level of the Essence Qi Realm. Once I reach that level, I will no longer need to fear these people."

Li Yun’s expression was heavy.

After pondering for a long time, he finally chose to break through toward the southeast.

When choosing a target, one naturally had to pick the softest persimmon first. Although there was also a 9th level Mortal Core Realm expert in the southeast, that person was the weakest among the enemies in the same realm and had likely only just stepped into the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm.

"Go."

Once his decision was made, Li Yun no longer hesitated.

His figure flashed, and he immediately rushed toward the southeast.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A moment later, Li Yun suddenly came to a halt.

In front of him stood an expressionless young man dressed in black martial robes. He held a blood-colored spear in his hand, and a faint smell of blood lingered around him.

"Li Yun?"

Seeing Li Yun, the black-robed young man was momentarily stunned. Immediately afterward, wild joy appeared on his face.

"It is actually you? Hahaha, I have worn out iron shoes searching for you, only to find you so easily. Li Yun, I will be taking your head."

As he spoke, the black-robed young man’s essence qi surged outward.

He gripped the blood-colored spear tightly, and a thick scent of blood rose into the sky. Boundless killing intent erupted from him, followed by Blood Intent at seventy percent mastery.

In the next instant, the blood-colored spear in his hand burst with a ring of crimson light and stabbed directly toward Li Yun’s heart.
