Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Cult Leader [PART 1]

The man slowly turned his face toward Li Yao, shock written across his features. Li Yao simply smiled at him, offering a casual wave. "You were saying?"

From the Empress’s analysis, she knew he was merely an early-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Through their brief combat, she had finally grasped where she stood. Her combat power appeared to be somewhere in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

It was nice, she supposed, but still insufficient. Besides, this was merely physical combat power. She needed to find a way to deal with souls. While the Empress could attack souls that tried to enter her body, she couldn’t engage a soul outside her spiritual sea.

[I can’t interfere much outside the spiritual sea without being noticed,] the Empress spoke.

Actually, the empress was essentially an intruder. Each world had its own heavenly dao rules. If she randomly started killing high-level experts from this world, the world itself wouldn’t tolerate it. It might even affect Li Yao’s great fortune from the heavenly dao, which she wanted to avoid.

[Actually, you might not even need my help anymore,] the Empress continued.

Li Yao felt confused, but as usual, the Empress offered no explanation and went offline. She was already accustomed to this behavior, so she didn’t bother pursuing it. Instead, she addressed the Nascent Soul expert.

"Sorry, but I’m in a hurry, so I don’t have time to run around with you anymore," she said as she drew her sword. The man couldn’t provide any real challenge, so keeping him around would only waste time.

The man’s face was that of pure shock as Li Yao swung her sword toward him. He wanted to dodge but the sword was simply too fast—he couldn’t move at all. The blade descended from above, piercing directly through the top of his head, then continued downward, splitting him perfectly in two. Even as his body fell from the great height, Li Yao didn’t let down her guard. She remained ready, anticipating any other tricks.

At the Nascent Soul realm and above, if you didn’t kill the soul, they could always escape. Though she lacked a method to deal soul damage, she had to stop him somehow. Yet she continued waiting, and nothing happened. She touched her chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm... that’s weird. How come nothing is happening?" She wondered if not all Nascent Soul experts had souls, but that made no sense. The soul was the entire point of the Nascent Soul realm. It was literally in the name.

"Is this normal?" she asked the Empress.

[Who knows?] came the response.

Li Yao clicked her tongue in irritation. The Empress really liked being cryptic.

"Are you aura farming rn bro?" But before she could voice her frustration, she suddenly sensed an aura approaching from behind. She turned around as the presence arrived.

A man stood there. He wasn’t huge in the traditional sense, but he was definitely jacked. His gaze first fell to the dead Nascent Soul expert below, then rose to meet Li Yao’s eyes.

She felt that the man was definitely strange. He gave her a weird feeling.

[Don’t let your guard down,] the Empress warned.

The Empress’s serious tone reinforced her belief that this opponent shouldn’t be underestimated.

"So you are Li Yao," the man broke the silence.

Li Yao studied him carefully. "Who are you?"
