Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 111: Clash of Battle Bodies!

Chapter 111: Clash of Battle Bodies!

“Black Demon Battle Body. Black Demon Incarnation!”

A thunderous roar burst from Lu Changsan’s throat.

In an instant, vast waves of black Qi poured out of his body like a torrent released from a shattered dam, surging into the sky and blotting out the surroundings. With another few seconds, the boundless black Qi began to compress and condense, gradually taking shape high above.

A towering demonic silhouette emerged, standing seven or eight meters tall. Its features were savage and twisted, its eyes glowing blood red, while dense devilish Qi coiled endlessly around its form.

The demonic shadow hovered in the air, releasing shrill and eerie laughter. From its body radiated waves of oppressive aura, heavy and violent, saturated with chilling devilish energy that pressed down on everything below.

“So Lu Changsan truly does have some real methods.”

Li Yun felt a faint sense of danger from the demonic shadow, and his eyes narrowed as his expression grew serious.

Although his words had been mocking, he had never underestimated Lu Changsan. Anyone capable of standing among the top three on the New Disciples Ranking was bound to possess extraordinary trump cards.

“Merge!”

Under Li Yun’s watchful gaze, Lu Changsan roared again. A domineering force exploded outward, shredding his clothes and exposing his muscular upper body. The demonic shadow descended with its eerie laughter, plunging directly into Lu Changsan’s body.

In an instant, dark demonic markings spread across his exposed skin, intertwining into black patterns identical to the shadow’s form. Lu Changsan appeared to fuse completely with the demonic presence.

Cold and violent fluctuations of black devilish Qi surged continuously from his body. His eyes glowed with a sinister crimson light, and an overwhelming tyrannical presence radiated from him.

In that moment, Lu Changsan looked like a peerless Devil King who had torn through space itself and descended from the depths of an abyssal demon realm.

“Li Yun, to die beneath my Black Demon Battle Body with nothing more than half step Xiantian Realm cultivation is something you should be proud of,” Lu Changsan said coldly, his sinister gaze locked onto Li Yun as he spoke each word with chilling certainty.

“Heh, if your strength were even half as impressive as your talent for boasting, I suppose I would already be dead,” Li Yun replied with a crooked smile, his tone thick with ridicule.

“Hmph, keep acting arrogant. We will see how sharp your tongue remains once I shatter every bone in your body.”

Lu Changsan snorted coldly and stopped wasting words on Li Yun. He stepped forward, and a terrifying surge of devilish Qi erupted from his body, sweeping across the sky like a violent storm. Within dozens of meters, the air itself seemed unable to withstand the pressure and fractured under the rampaging energy.

In the instant the air collapsed, Lu Changsan’s figure vanished without warning. When he appeared again, he was already right in front of Li Yun. His right leg, wrapped in dense devilish Qi, resembled a demonic dragon as it tore through the air and slammed toward Li Yun’s head with ruthless force.

Lu Changsan had moved with clear killing intent. Once he decided to strike, every attack was merciless, precise, and aimed solely at ending Li Yun’s life.

Before the demonic leg could fully descend, an overwhelming pressure crashed down, making Li Yun’s breathing falter.

’This guy is strong but how strong?’ His eyes sharpened as he resolved to test Lu Changsan’s strength. He immediately activated the high grade mortal rank Blazing Dragon Fist, his fist erupting with blazing flames that took the shape of a crimson dragon as he met the attack head-on.

Boom.

A deafening explosion echoed through the air as their attacks collided. A violent shockwave burst outward from the point of impact, powerful enough to tear apart any Xiantian Realm third-level expert caught within its range.

“Break!”

Lu Changsan roared as a savage force surged from his demonic leg, crashing forward like a collapsing mountain and a raging sea combined.

“Hmph!”

The flaming dragon fist shattered under the overwhelming pressure. Li Yun let out a muffled grunt as his body was hurled backward, tumbling through the air in a disordered retreat.

“Li Yun, do you see now?” Lu Changsan sneered, his expression twisted with cruelty as he watched Li Yun fly back. “This is the gap between you and me. Let me tell you something even more unfortunate. That strike just now was only half the power of my Black Demon Battle Body. No matter how great the opportunity you obtained, in front of me you are nothing more than trash. Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken or a dog.”

After sending Li Yun flying with a single kick, Lu Changsan did not immediately give chase. A sinister smile lingered on his face.

To him, killing Li Yun outright would be far too simple. He wanted to slowly crush him, force him step by step into despair, and only then end his life. Only that kind of death would truly satisfy the malice boiling in his heart.

“Heh, the Black Demon Battle Body really is impressive, but it is still not enough to kill me.”

Li Yun was sent skidding backward for more than a hundred meters before he suddenly stomped his foot into the ground, forcefully halting his retreat. His posture steadied, and his expression remained calm, without the slightest trace of panic.

He was not surprised by being pushed back just now. From the beginning, he had only intended to test how powerful Lu Changsan’s battle body truly was. Moreover, he had not even circulated his cultivation art during that exchange.

That was one of his his greatest source of strength. If he had activated his top grade mortal rank Sun Refining Scripture at the ninth layer while using the Burning Dragon Fist, Li Yun was confident that the clash would have ended instantly, making the test meaningless.

From his own perception, Lu Changsan had only cultivated his top grade mortal rank cultivation art to the fifth layer. Once Li Yun fully unleashed his cultivation art at the ninth layer, the gap between them would be undeniable.

“Whether it is enough or not is not for trash like you to decide!”

Lu Changsan roared coldly as he pushed his Black Demon Battle Body to its absolute limit. Boundless black qi surged around him, and his figure now resembled a ferocious devil dragon that had crawled out of the Demon Realm itself. Rolling devilish Qi followed in his wake as he lunged toward Li Yun once more with overwhelming force.

“Perfect timing!”

Seeing Lu Changsan charge again, Li Yun roared in response, his fighting spirit igniting rather than retreating. “Today, I want to see whether your Black Demon Battle Body is stronger, or whether my Golden Battle Body reigns supreme!”

“Golden Battle Body, activate!”

As his shout echoed through the air, Li Yun’s body trembled violently. In the next instant, his entire form turned a brilliant gold as surging physical power flooded through his limbs. Thanks to the trial he had passed earlier, his Golden Battle Body had already advanced beyond the fourth stage, reaching an entirely new level of strength.

Whoosh!

A terrifyingly violent aura erupted from Li Yun’s body and swept outward like a raging hurricane. Bathed in golden radiance, he looked every bit like a war god clad in divine armor, exuding overwhelming dominance.

“Haha, come on!”

Li Yun laughed loudly as his figure shot into the air. Without the slightest hesitation, he charged straight toward Lu Changsan, eager for a head-on clash.

Swish. Swish.

Two figures wrapped in ferocious auras tore through the air at extreme speed, the piercing sound of ruptured air echoing sharply with every movement.

One left behind a long trail of black light, while the other carved a blazing path of dazzling golden radiance through the sky.

The sight was like two massive stars falling from the heavens, rushing straight toward each other. The sheer pressure they radiated made the scalps of everyone watching prickle with unease.

Boom!

Under countless stunned gazes, the two meteor-like figures collided head-on. A thunderous explosion rang out in the sky, followed by torrents of black and golden light surging upward like a raging tide, instantly engulfing an area several hundred meters wide.

The sky vanished from sight. All that remained was a violent sea of black and golden radiance, churning wildly as terrifying destructive fluctuations rippled outward.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

Within that storm of intertwined light, two figures clashed relentlessly, seemingly indifferent to the destructive forces around them. Fists, palms, and legs collided in rapid succession, each impact sounding like rolling thunder and shaking the surrounding air until it twisted and warped.

“Hiss.”

“Where did this monster Li Yun come from? He is actually matching Lu Changsan head-on in physical strength. This is unbelievable.”

The brutal exchange left the gathered young talents gasping in unison before erupting into shocked murmurs. Their eyes, fixed on Li Yun, were filled with disbelief.

Everyone knew that, setting everything else aside, Lu Changsan’s physical body alone was considered the strongest among all those in the Eternal Sky Secret Realm. Even Ye Beichen, who ranked first on the New Disciples Ranking, had once been forced to concede when facing Lu Changsan’s terrifying physical might.

Yet now, Li Yun, a youth of unknown origin, was able to contend with Lu Changsan in pure bodily strength without showing the slightest sign of inferiority.

The shock this scene delivered was beyond words.

Boom.

As the crowd was still in turmoil, the two figures had already exchanged dozens of blows. They collided once more, striking at the same instant. Fists and palms crashed together, and violent waves of fist and palm Qi swept outward like a hurricane, making the sky shudder. Immediately afterward, both figures were forced to retreat rapidly, separating once again.

“Damn it. How can this brat’s physical body be this terrifying? Going head-on against my Black Demon Battle Body, he can actually hold his ground without losing an inch and he even seems to be gaining the upper hand. How is this even possible?”

Lu Changsan was forced to retreat more than a hundred steps before he finally rolled his shoulders, dispersing the lingering palm force Li Yun had driven into his body and stabilizing his stance. The clash had only caused a slight turbulence in his qi and blood, leaving him uninjured, yet his expression had darkened to an extreme, as if a storm were brewing on his face.

In those crimson eyes of his, unmistakable shock flickered.

“Is this the fifth stage of the Golden Battle Body? Even though the Golden Battle Body Art does not officially have a fifth stage, my Golden Battle Body had clearly advanced to that stage.”

In stark contrast to Lu Changsan’s grim demeanor, Li Yun’s face was lit with undisguised delight.

“Li Yun, even I have to admit that your physical strength is truly astonishing,” Lu Changsan said, taking a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

He lifted his head, his crimson gaze locking firmly onto Li Yun, and spoke in a voice filled with cold killing intent. “But it ends here. In the face of an absolute gap in strength, all techniques are meaningless. Today, no matter how formidable your body is, you will still be reduced to dust by my hand.”

“Devil Dragon Roaring Heaven Seal! Take this!”
