Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 228: Li Yun - Winner of the Four Peaks Tournament

Chapter 228: Li Yun – Winner of the Four Peaks Tournament

The blazing arrow tore through the sky like a streak of judgment, its red flames roaring while lightning coiled around it violently and sharp currents of wind cut through the air ahead of its path, and in the next instant it collided directly with the condensed mass of flames created by Xiao Fanyun’s Flame Destroyer Canon.

The moment the two attacks met, the entire sky seemed to explode.

A terrifying shockwave erupted outward as fire, lightning, and wind clashed against the compressed destructive flames, and the collision created a violent storm of energy that spread in all directions, causing the air to distort and the space itself to tremble under the overwhelming pressure.

The arena below shook violently as cracks spread across the ground, and countless disciples staggered backward as they felt the impact of the collision, their expressions filled with shock as they struggled to remain standing under the force of the shockwaves.

At the center of the clash, the two attacks continued to struggle against each other.

Xiao Fanyun’s Flame Destroyer Canon burned fiercely as the condensed flames attempted to engulf and destroy the incoming arrow, while Li Yun’s attack pushed forward relentlessly, its power fueled by the fusion of flame, lightning, and wind intent.

For a brief moment, the two forces remained locked in a stalemate.

Then the balance broke.

A sharp crack echoed through the sky as the condensed flames began to split apart, and the blazing arrow suddenly surged forward with unstoppable force, piercing through the core of the Flame Destroyer Canon as if it were tearing apart everything in its path.

The flames shattered.

The compressed energy collapsed.

Li Yun’s arrow broke through.

Xiao Fanyun’s pupils shrank violently as he witnessed the destruction of his ultimate technique, and for a brief moment his mind went completely blank as disbelief filled his eyes.

His Flame Destroyer Canon had been broken.

It had been completely destroyed.

“How… is this possible…” he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible as the shock overwhelmed him.

He had no time to react.

The blazing arrow had already appeared before him.

His defenses were not raised.

His body remained frozen in place as the realization of his defeat struck him, and the overwhelming shock left him completely defenseless against the incoming attack.

The arrow closed in.

Just as it was about to pierce through him, a powerful figure suddenly appeared between them.

A vast surge of energy erupted as the deacon intervened, raising his hand and forming a barrier that intercepted the arrow at the final moment, and the impact of the collision created another burst of energy that spread outward before finally dissipating.

The arena fell into silence.

All eyes turned toward the center.

The deacon stood calmly with his hand lowered, having completely neutralized the terrifying attack, while Xiao Fanyun remained frozen in place, his expression still filled with shock as he stared at where the arrow had vanished.

After a brief pause, the deacon’s voice echoed across the entire arena.

“The battle is decided.”

He looked toward Li Yun, who remained in the air with his lightning wings slowly fading, and then continued in a clear and authoritative tone.

“Li Yun is the winner of the Four Peaks Tournament.”

The moment those words were spoken, the entire arena erupted.

“Xiao Fanyun Lost?” A disciple muttered in shock.

Another disciple beside him nodded slowly, his gaze still frozen on the battlefield. “Yes… that was him. I saw everything clearly, but it still does not feel real.”

A third disciple frowned deeply as he clenched his fists unconsciously. “He used the Flame Destroyer Canon, and it still got destroyed like that?”

“That is the ultimate technique of the Earth Pillar Peak,” someone else added, his voice filled with disbelief. “How could it be broken so completely?”

A slightly older disciple let out a long breath as he shook his head. “I thought the clash would at least end in a stalemate, but this… this was completely one sided.”

Another disciple’s voice lowered as if he was still shaken by the scene. “Did you see Xiao Fanyun’s expression just now? He did not even move when the arrow came at him.”

“He looked like he had lost his soul,” someone replied immediately. “It was as if he could not accept what had just happened.”

“If the deacon had not stepped in, that arrow would have pierced straight through him,” another said, his tone turning serious as he glanced toward Li Yun in the sky.

High above the arena, the viewing platform reserved for the Peak Lords remained silent for a few moments after the battle concluded, as the dust slowly settled and the result became undeniable.

The Earth Pillar Peak Lord’s gaze remained fixed on the arena below, his expression calm on the surface, yet there was a faint tightness in his jaw that betrayed his inner thoughts.

“The Flame Destroyer Canon was used well,” he said slowly, his tone measured and controlled. “But it was still broken in the end.”

His words sounded neutral, yet there was an underlying weight to them.

The Heaven Mandate Peak Lord let out a faint chuckle as he leaned back slightly in his seat, his eyes still on Li Yun who hovered calmly in the air.

“Used well?” he repeated with a light smile. “I would say it was used to its limit, yet it still could not withstand a single decisive strike.”

The Earth Pillar Peak Lord’s eyes narrowed slightly at those words.

“The Flame Destroyer Canon is not inferior to your Heavenly Lightning Codex,” he replied, his voice steady. “The difference lies in the one who wields it.”

“Exactly,” the Heaven Mandate Peak Lord said immediately, his smile deepening as he turned his gaze toward him. “And that is precisely why this outcome is so interesting.”

A faint sneer appeared on his lips.

“One disciple pushed your Earth Pillar Peak’s ultimate technique to its peak, while the other broke through it without hesitation,” he continued calmly. “The result speaks for itself.”

The surrounding elders felt the subtle tension between the two Peak Lords and remained silent.
