Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System - Chapter 298: Huang Chen taking action!

Chapter 298: Huang Chen taking action!

At the center of the shattered arena, Li Yun remained standing with sword in hand, yet many present now believed his fate had worsened drastically.

Before Huang Chen’s arrival, Li Yun still had backing from major forces. Now the strongest spear of Boundless Martial Palace had entered the scene personally. The pressure upon Li Yun multiplied at once.

Whispers spread in every direction.

“It is over for Li Yun now.”

“No matter how monstrous he is, how can he compare to Huang Chen?”

“Huang Chen can suppress Xian Li with one finger. I fear the same will be true for Li Yun.”

“Even major forces give face to someone like him.”

Li Yun looked upward at the man in black robes suspended in the sky.

His eyes remained calm as he studied Huang Chen’s posture, the stillness around him, and the terrifying control hidden beneath that quiet exterior.

Then he smiled faintly.

That smile caused Yan Luo’s eyes to narrow once more.

Even now, after the arrival of Huang Chen, he still showed no fear.

“Senior Brother Huang Chen, this is Li Yun.”

Yan Luo raised one hand and pointed directly at Li Yun, her slender finger as steady as a drawn blade. Hatred burned openly within her eyes, no longer concealed in the slightest.

“He killed several disciples of our Boundless Martial Palace inside the tomb and even attempted to kill me. It was only because I carried a treasure bestowed by my father that I managed to escape with my life.”

Her voice grew colder and sharper with every word, carrying fury that had clearly been suppressed for a long time.

“And now, here at the Tea Ceremony, he has repeatedly insulted our sect, trampled our dignity, and humiliated our disciples before the gathered geniuses of the Southern Martial Domain.”

She stepped forward on the deck of the flying boat, violet robes stirring in the wind, then lifted her gaze toward Huang Chen standing high above all three vessels.

“Senior Brother Huang Chen…”

The killing intent in her eyes became completely undisguised.

“Kill him.”

Those two words fell heavily upon Heaven Dew Peak.

The entire summit went silent once again.

This was no longer a threat from ordinary elders, nor was it the anger of ordinary disciples. This was a direct request made to the third-ranked genius of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.

If Huang Chen truly chose to move, then no one present believed Li Yun could remain safe.

On the flying boat of Martial Ascension Gate, the expressions of the three peak elders changed immediately.

Peak Lord Shen Ming narrowed his eyes sharply, and the coldness within them deepened.

The other two peak lords of Profound Mystery Peak and Human Origin Peak also circulated their qi preparing to take action at anytime.

Though none of them spoke, their intent was obvious.

If Huang Chen attacked Li Yun, they were prepared to intervene by force if necessary. Li Yun was still a disciple of Martial Ascension Gate, and allowing him to be killed publicly before all gathered sects would be humiliation they could never accept.

At the side of Ice God Valley, Elder Mu also grew solemn. Several elders behind her quietly began circulating qi, readying themselves for any sudden turn.

Mu Lan’s heart tightened as her gaze fixed firmly on Li Yun.

Everyone understood one thing clearly.

If Huang Chen moved recklessly, Heaven Dew Peak might truly erupt into war.

High above them all, Huang Chen finally lowered his gaze.

His eyes landed upon Li Yun.

At the center of the ruined arena, Li Yun stood amidst shattered stone and broken pavilions. His sword rested loosely in one hand, while the Heavenly Lightning Battle Armor around him flickered faintly with blue arcs of unstable power. Dust drifted around his feet, yet his posture remained relaxed.

And on Li Yun’s face there was still that same faint smile.

It was calm. It was playful. It was almost amused.

It was as though the arrival of the third-ranked genius of the Hidden Dragon Rankings meant nothing at all.

The moment Huang Chen saw that smile, something within him shifted.

The indifference was unsettling. The composure was unnatural. The complete absence of fear was even more offensive.

It felt less like courage and more like contempt.

A cold light appeared in Huang Chen’s eyes.

Then everything changed.

A vast pressure descended from the sky.

It did not gather slowly, nor did it spread outward in stages. It crashed down instantly like a collapsing heaven.

The entire Heaven Dew Peak trembled violently. Cracks widened across broken stone, damaged pavilions collapsed further, and loose debris rolled down the mountain slopes.

Many younger disciples cried out and dropped to their knees on the spot, unable to remain standing beneath that monstrous oppression. Others staggered backward several steps with pale faces and sweat pouring from their brows.

Even the gathered elders changed expressions.

Several fifth and sixth level Essence Qi Realm elders actually trembled beneath that pressure. Their robes fluttered violently, and the qi within their bodies was forced into disorder.

“This…”

“What terrifying cultivation!”

“He only circulated qi, yet the elders are shaking?”

Han Li’s face turned white as he struggled to steady his breathing.

Han Xue nearly lost her balance before catching herself.

Even Qin Ling and Shi Xing gritted their teeth beneath the immense weight pressing from above.

At the center of the sky, Huang Chen remained motionless, black robes swaying lightly in the wind.

The source of that monstrous oppression was not some hidden treasure, nor was it an external aid. It came purely from his cultivation art.

A mid-grade Profound Rank cultivation art cultivated to the complete fifteenth layer.

Perfected to its utmost state.

The surrounding spiritual energy was forcibly drawn toward him in spiraling currents, then compressed and transformed into suffocating pressure that blanketed the entire peak.

This was not merely stronger qi.

This was the difference between ordinary geniuses and true monsters who stood near the summit of the younger generation.

The cracked arena beneath Li Yun began sinking even further. Stone around his feet shattered into powder. Dust rose in expanding rings.

Most of that terrifying pressure was focused directly upon him.

Many believed Li Yun would be forced to kneel before everyone present. Many believed his bones would crack beneath the weight. Many believed the smile on his face would vanish instantly.

Yan Luo watched with cold satisfaction, her lips curving ever so slightly.

“Yes,” she thought. “Now break.”
