Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Chapter 445: Threatening Princess Yuehan!

"Too strong. This Li Yun is simply too strong."

"How exactly did Li Yun cultivate to become such a monster? Compared to him, my little bit of talent is truly nothing."

"I used to think I was rather impressive, but only after seeing a true genius did I realize how laughable I was. Compared to Li Yun, I am far too lacking."

The surrounding cultivators looked at Li Yun with deep awe in their eyes.

In the world of cultivation, strength was the only thing that truly mattered. Since Li Yun possessed such terrifying strength, he naturally deserved their respect and fear.

Even Princess Yuehan could not stop a strange light from flashing through her beautiful eyes.

With her status, she had seen many geniuses and prodigies before. However, even she had to admit that among all the geniuses she had ever encountered, Li Yun could definitely rank among the top three.

"Little Brother Li is indeed formidable."

A faint brilliance flickered in Princess Yuehan’s eyes. She suddenly smiled sweetly at Li Yun and said, "Since Little Brother Li has defeated Crown Prince Xing Tian, why do we not divide this Nine-Lotus Fire Essence equally between us?"

"Fine."

Li Yun glanced at Princess Yuehan and said indifferently, "There are nine drops of Nine-Lotus Fire Essence. You can take four drops, and the remaining five will be mine."

"What?"

The expressions of several people standing behind Princess Yuehan changed at once. Some of them could not hold back their anger and immediately roared, "Presumptuous. Li Yun, Her Highness is willing to divide the Nine-Lotus Fire Essence with you, and that is already a great blessing. Yet you actually dare to make such an excessive demand. Are you looking for death?"

Princess Yuehan’s expression also became slightly awkward. She looked at Li Yun and said, "Li Yun, you are only one person, yet you want five drops of Nine-Lotus Fire Essence for yourself. Is that not a little too greedy? How about this? I can make the decision to give you three of the nine drops. What do you think?"

"Not much."

Li Yun sneered and spoke without the slightest politeness. "Princess Yuehan, there is no need to act like a good person in front of me. You killed Mo Xuanfeng and deliberately left Crown Prince Xing Tian for me to deal with. Do you really think I do not understand what kind of thoughts you were hiding?"

"If I could defeat or kill Crown Prince Xing Tian, you would directly remove a powerful enemy. Not only that, but you could also shift the hatred of the Starheaven Ancient Kingdom onto me. If I lost, I would still consume some of Crown Prince Xing Tian’s strength, and you could then take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits."

Li Yun’s eyes were cold as he looked at her. "Do you think I cannot see through such simple calculations?"

With every sentence Li Yun spoke, Princess Yuehan’s expression grew uglier. By the end, the face of this peerless beauty had already become extremely unsightly.

"Audacious."

The people behind Princess Yuehan stepped forward one after another, their faces filled with anger and cold ridicule.

"To be used by Her Highness is a blessing you must have accumulated over several lifetimes. A cultivator from a tiny place like the Southern Martial Domain should be feeling grateful instead of acting so presumptuously. I think you are truly courting death."

"Do you think that just because you defeated Crown Prince Xing Tian, you can act arrogantly in front of Her Highness?"

"Your Highness, in my opinion, there is no need to waste any more words with Li Yun. Just kill him directly. After fighting Crown Prince Xing Tian, his essence qi must be nearly exhausted. Killing him now will be as easy as turning over a hand."

The people who stepped forward all wore unfriendly expressions, and several of them had cold sneers on their faces. Two of them did not even bother hiding their killing intent.

"Is that so?"

At that moment, Li Yun laughed loudly. "Ignorant and foolish. Do you truly think defeating a mere Crown Prince Xing Tian was enough to exhaust me completely? You are thinking too much."

"Spirit Sword Sealing Array."

As soon as his voice fell, Li Yun’s mind stirred.

Ten Violet Shadow Swords flew up from around him at the same time. On the blade of each long sword, an eerie vertical eye slowly opened, releasing a chilling aura that made the hearts of those who saw it tremble.

An invisible sealing power spread out in an instant.

Princess Yuehan and the people behind her were immediately enveloped by that strange force.

"What is happening?"

"My essence qi. Why can I not use it anymore?"

The expressions of Princess Yuehan and her followers changed at the same time. The people who had shouted at Li Yun earlier turned especially pale, and terror quickly appeared in their eyes.

It could seal essence qi.

What kind of strange method was this?

To actually seal a cultivator’s essence qi was terrifying beyond measure. Without essence qi, a cultivator was like a tiger without claws or a swordsman who had lost his sword. They would be reduced to prey waiting to be slaughtered.

For any cultivator, this was an extremely frightening situation.

Princess Yuehan was slightly better off than the others. With her strength and foundation, even after being sealed, she could still use about thirty percent of her essence qi. However, with only that much power remaining, she had no confidence in fighting Li Yun.

"Princess Yuehan, I can overlook the fact that you calculated against me and used me, but you do not get to decide how the Nine-Lotus Fire Essence will be distributed."

Li Yun’s expression was cold.

After speaking, he suddenly reached toward the pillar of fire. Six flame petals trembled at once, and the Nine-Lotus Fire Essence hidden within them flew out before landing in Li Yun’s hand.

"I will take these six drops of Nine-Lotus Fire Essence. As for the rest, you can divide them however you like."

After putting away the six drops of Nine-Lotus Fire Essence, Li Yun did not even look at Princess Yuehan again. His figure shifted several times, and he soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Only after he left did the essence qi of Princess Yuehan and the others finally recover.

"Your Highness, are we really going to let that man leave like this?"

Beside Princess Yuehan, several people had ugly expressions as they spoke in gloomy voices. "A treasure like the Nine-Lotus Fire Essence is worth a fortune with every single drop. For Li Yun to take six drops for himself is simply too much."

"Exactly. Your Highness, although Li Yun has mastered that strange method of sealing essence qi, our Moonveil Ancient Kingdom is not something he can provoke as he pleases. If necessary, we can use that spiritual artifact to kill him the moment we see him again. Let us see what other tricks he can use then."

"That is right, Your Highness. We cannot swallow this loss."
