Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 181: Shock of the Young Woman!
Chapter 181: Shock of the Young Woman!
The young woman’s expression turned serious.
Dark winds immediately gathered around her body. Black currents of wind swirled like shadows around her sword as she lifted it to meet the attack.
“Profound Shadow Sword Art – Night Gale Sever.”
Her blade slashed upward.
The dark winds condensed into a crescent of black energy that collided directly with Li Yun’s descending strike.
Boom!
The impact exploded with violent force. A storm of qi and wind erupted outward, ripping across the ground and sending fragments of stone flying through the air.
Li Yun did not retreat.
The instant the clash ended, his body twisted and his sword swept horizontally with unstoppable momentum.
“Overlord Sword Art – Monarch’s Dominion Sweep.”
A vast arc of sword qi spread outward like the ruling authority of an emperor dominating the battlefield. The pressure contained within the strike forced the air itself to bend.
The young woman narrowed her eyes.
Dark winds surged again as she responded with her own technique.
“Profound Shadow Sword Art – Shadow Wind Barrier.”
Her blade spun in a tight motion. A swirling wall of dark wind condensed around her sword, intercepting the sweeping arc of Li Yun’s attack.
Clang!
The two forces collided again, producing a violent shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them.
Li Yun’s eyes gleamed.
His movements did not slow in the slightest. Instead he stepped forward once more, his sword rising above his head.
“Overlord Sword Art – Overlord’s Final Judgment.”
The moment he unleashed the third strike, the aura around him changed completely. A powerful sword qi surged forward like a ruling monarch delivering judgment upon the world. The blade descended with crushing authority, carrying enough force to suppress everything before it.
The young woman’s expression finally changed.
She had not expected Li Yun to release three profound rank sword arts in such rapid succession. Each strike contained terrifying power, and the momentum of his attacks left her with almost no room to counter.
She retreated half a step as the Overlord’s Final Judgment descended upon her position.
Boom!
The ground exploded beneath the impact as her defensive sword art struggled to withstand the overwhelming pressure.
For a brief moment, Li Yun’s relentless offense nearly suppressed her entirely.
The dark winds around her body began to tremble.
A flash of cold light appeared in her eyes.
The next instant a sharp aura erupted from her body.
Sword Intent.
A faint yet terrifying presence spread across the battlefield as she released her Sword Intent. The dark winds surrounding her sword instantly became far more violent, carrying a cutting force that seemed capable of tearing through steel.
Her blade flashed forward.
Boom!
The power of Sword Intent shattered the suppressive force of Li Yun’s attack and forced both of them to step back.
“You are far stronger than I expected,” the young woman said slowly, her voice filled with disbelief.
Her eyes remained fixed on Li Yun as if she were trying to understand what she had just witnessed. Each of his attacks carried terrifying destructive power. The sword strikes he had unleashed moments ago were strong enough to instantly kill a ninth level Xiantian Realm martial artist, yet the person standing before her possessed only the cultivation of the third level of the Xiantian Realm.
The contrast between his cultivation and his combat strength was so extreme that it shook her understanding.
Such monstrous potential was rarely seen even among the top talents of the Southern Martial Domain.
Her expression gradually turned serious.
“Which of the four major sects do you belong to?” she asked.
She had already come to a conclusion in her mind. A genius with this level of strength could only be a core disciple secretly groomed by one of the four great sects of the Southern Martial Domain.
As the daughter of the Boundless Martial Palace’s sect master, she was extremely familiar with the talented disciples within her own sect. She had personally studied the information regarding nearly every promising genius in the Boundless Martial Palace, yet she had never once heard of a person named Li Yun.
That could only mean one thing.
He belonged to one of the other three great sects.
Li Yun simply laughed.
“Why should I tell you?” he replied casually.
The moment the words left his mouth, a powerful aura erupted from his body.
Boom!
Sword Intent burst forth.
The invisible pressure spread across the battlefield like a sudden storm. The moment Li Yun released his Sword Intent, it collided directly with the young woman’s own Sword Intent that was already filling the surroundings.
The air between them trembled violently.
Invisible shockwaves rippled through the space where their two intents met, causing the dust on the ground to scatter in all directions.
The young woman froze.
Her pupils shrank to the size of needles.
For a brief moment she felt as if her mind had gone completely blank.
“Sword Intent…” she whispered under her breath.
Shock flooded her face as she stared at Li Yun.
She had already been surprised by his combat strength, yet what she had just witnessed was far more terrifying. The aura spreading from his body was unmistakable. It was not some half formed understanding or imitation.
It was genuine Sword Intent.
“How is this possible?” she muttered in disbelief.
Her heart pounded violently.
Even within the Boundless Martial Palace, disciples who managed to comprehend Sword Intent at the Xiantian Realm could be counted on one hand. Those individuals were considered the most extraordinary geniuses of the entire sect.
Even she herself comprehended sword intent when she was at the 9th level of Xiantian Realm.
Yet the young man standing before her had achieved the same feat while possessing only the cultivation of the third level of the Xiantian Realm.
The shock struck her like lightning.
At that moment a frightening realization appeared in her mind.
This level of talent was no longer comparable to the geniuses of the Southern Martial Domain.
The potential carried by the young man before her was closer to those legendary monsters that appeared in the Eastern Martial Domain, a place filled with terrifying prodigies who dominated their generation.
Her gaze toward Li Yun slowly changed.
What had begun as contempt and annoyance was now replaced by deep shock and caution.
