Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System

Chapter 576: Three Moves of Mu Cangyang!

’If I were not worried about others joining the battle, I would have liked to fight him properly.’

Li Yun shook his head and focused his mind again.

He was just about to take out the Profound Meteoric Iron when suddenly, every pore on his body seemed to tighten. An intense sense of danger surged into his heart.

"Who is it?"

His expression changed drastically as he looked forward.

A towering youth more than two meters tall appeared before him. His bronze-colored muscles were filled with explosive power, and his body gave off a fierce pressure that seemed almost tangible.

"Golden Saint Sect, Mu Cangyang."

The towering youth’s footsteps were steady and heavy. With every step he took, the ground trembled slightly, making it impossible not to wonder what kind of terrifying power was contained within his body.

Hearing the name Mu Cangyang, Li Yun’s expression changed once again.

Mu Cangyang was the second-ranked Inner Sect Disciple of the Golden Saint Sect and an expert ranked seventeenth on the Earth Ranking. His strength was even more formidable than the likes of Golden Roc Dharma King and Saber Fiend.

More importantly, the Golden Saint Sect was a sect that specialized in body cultivation. Its disciples did not focus mainly on essence qi cultivation. Instead, they placed their greatest effort on tempering the physical body. Because of this, the physical strength of the Golden Saint Sect’s disciples was considered the most formidable among all sects in the Azure Void Region.

In other words, even within the Lost Ancient City, Mu Cangyang’s strength would not be affected at all.

On the contrary, in a place where others were suppressed, his dominance would only become even more obvious.

"You are Li Yun?"

Mu Cangyang’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Li Yun. His voice boomed like a great bell. "To be able to snatch food from Golden Roc Dharma King’s mouth, you indeed have some skill. Since that is the case, I can give you a chance."

"What chance?"

Li Yun raised an eyebrow.

"Take three punches from me."

Mu Cangyang’s voice boomed like thunder across the ancient street. "Without using any other means, rely solely on the power of your physical body and take three punches from me. If you are still alive after three punches, I will let you go."

"Three punches?"

Li Yun frowned slightly, then simply nodded. "Fine."

As for Mu Cangyang’s words about letting him go, Li Yun merely sneered inwardly. At this moment, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone in the Earthly Core Realm within the Lost Ancient City. However, since Mu Cangyang wanted to test him in this manner, Li Yun did not mind entertaining him.

"Good! Li Yun, you are straightforward enough."

Seeing Li Yun agree without the slightest hesitation, Mu Cangyang immediately burst into loud laughter. His fighting spirit surged, and his muscles tightened like forged iron. "Since that is the case, take my first punch."

"Fist Suppressing a Thousand Armies!"

As soon as the words fell, Mu Cangyang threw a punch.

The fist seal erupted violently. A towering aura surged into the sky, and the moment his punch moved, it seemed as if thousands of troops and horses were charging forward together. The force of the punch rolled out like a raging torrent, and everywhere it passed, the air trembled beneath that incredibly violent Fist Intent.

’What a powerful punch.’

Li Yun’s expression remained calm, but a faint seriousness appeared in his eyes. Mu Cangyang was worthy of being ranked seventeenth on the Earth Ranking. More importantly, he was a pure body cultivator. In this Lost Ancient City, where many methods were suppressed, his strength might even surpass some of the top ten experts on the Earth Ranking.

However, Li Yun still did not use any martial skill.

He did not use the Seven Slaughter Fist.

He did not use Sword Intent.

He did not even circulate any special technique.

He simply raised his fist and met Mu Cangyang’s attack with the most basic punch.

Bang!

The two fists collided, and a dull explosion echoed across the street. The ground beneath their feet cracked instantly, and violent shockwaves spread outward in every direction. Dust and shattered stones flew everywhere, yet Li Yun’s body did not move at all.

He stood in place like an ancient divine mountain.

Not even half a step back.

Mu Cangyang’s eyes narrowed sharply.

He could clearly feel that his punch had landed, and he could also feel the terrifying force pouring into Li Yun’s body. Under normal circumstances, even an ordinary Earthly Core Realm expert would have been forced back by that strike, yet Li Yun had taken it head-on without using any martial skill.

More strangely, when his fist struck Li Yun, it felt as though he had punched something unimaginably heavy.

It was not merely toughness.

It was weight.

A terrifying weight that seemed impossible to shake.

Li Yun slowly lowered his fist and said calmly, "First punch."

Mu Cangyang stared at him for a moment before suddenly laughing. "Interesting. Very interesting. I did not expect a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect to possess such a powerful physical body. Although I used less than thirty percent of my strength just now, being able to take it so easily means you are indeed extraordinary."

As his laughter spread, his aura rose again.

"Take my second punch. Fist Suppressing Mountains and Rivers!"

Mu Cangyang roared and threw another punch.

This punch was even more powerful than the previous one. If the first punch contained the momentum of ten thousand soldiers charging across a battlefield, then this punch carried the weight of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers. As the fist seal swept forward, it seemed as though vast mountains and endless rivers were pressing down at the same time.

The pressure was incomparably heavy.

Even the stone slabs on the ground shattered before the punch fully arrived.

Li Yun remained where he stood.

His robe fluttered wildly beneath the incoming force, but his expression did not change. Inside his body, that terrifying weight equal to a million times his body mass made him feel as if he had taken root in the earth itself. His bones, muscles, flesh, and blood all carried an unimaginable heaviness, and unless the opponent’s strength surpassed that weight, forcing him back was no different from trying to move an entire mountain range with bare hands.

Li Yun raised his fist again.

It was still an ordinary punch.

There was no dazzling light, no martial skill, and no complicated movement. It was only a direct punch powered by his physical body.

Boom!

The second collision was far more violent than the first.

The ground within several meters collapsed, and deep cracks spread outward like a spiderweb. The air between the two of them exploded from the impact, and the surrounding ruined buildings trembled violently.

Yet Li Yun still did not retreat.

His feet remained fixed in place, and his figure was as steady as before.

On the other hand, Mu Cangyang’s arm trembled faintly.

His expression finally changed.

The first punch could be explained as him testing the waters. But this second punch had already contained a considerable portion of his true strength. Even so, Li Yun had blocked it with nothing more than a basic fist attack.

More importantly, Mu Cangyang felt that strange heaviness again.

When his fist collided with Li Yun’s, it felt as though all of his strength had been swallowed by a vast and immovable mass. Li Yun’s body was not simply strong. It was so heavy that it seemed to ignore ordinary impact.

"Second punch," Li Yun said calmly.
