第两千三百四十六章 牛刀小试

The immense benefits laid out before him, why fear the risks involved?

Firstly. @Follow@Dream@Novel.com

Secondly, this young man had set up so many arrays with a Corpse Demon guarding them, choosing such a place rich in spiritual energy. What was he doing? It was obvious.

He was trying to break through his bottleneck and advance further in cultivation.

It is well known that under these circumstances, both cultivators and ancient demons are extremely vulnerable.

In other words, they could take advantage of their weakness and strike them down.

Although this approach might seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, it wasn't entirely honorable. However, for a cultivator, the goal was paramount. Why wait until he successfully broke through before acting? Only a fool would do that.

Since the opponent was now weakened, the couple had nothing to fear. He was just a sick tiger, and they planned to take him down first.

They thought Lin Xuan was an easy target, but in the end, they still couldn't take advantage of his weakness successfully. The Silver-Winged Corpse King had already fallen, yet at the last moment, he managed to break through his bottleneck.

Instead, it was they who suffered greatly, struck by the gathered primordial energy from heaven and earth. Although they were unharmed, their mana reserves were significantly depleted.

How infuriating! When have they ever experienced such suffering? Despite the opponent's success in advancing, with Senior Sage’s instructions, they couldn’t stop here.

Originally, Twin Demons of Heavenly Mist had been somewhat uneasy; if their judgment was wrong and the opponent turned out to be a late-stage ancient demon, breaking through would make him an advanced existence.

Even two of them working together wouldn't stand a chance against such power.

This was the greatest concern for the Twin Demons.

But this worry was entirely unnecessary. The opponent's strength far exceeded their expectations; he had only just entered the Spirit Cultivation stage.

Wasn’t that a mistake?

The Corpse Demons were all at the Spirit Cultivation stage, yet this young man had just stepped into it. In other words, before his advancement, he was merely an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.

Core Formation cultivators could not possibly command a Spirit Cultivation couple. Despite their extensive experience, they were genuinely stunned by this revelation.

Lin Xuan observed the changes in their expressions with a calm demeanor. He had faced many trials and tribulations since entering the cultivation world, but this time, the danger was unprecedented—perhaps ranking among the top three.

On the brink of disaster!

When the Corpse Demon was sent flying, Lin Xuan’s heart almost leaped out of his throat due to the urgency. Almost losing control, he said, "Prosperity and misfortune are interdependent." Because of the tension, the mana in his body surged by more than twenty percent at that moment.

This would have been impossible under normal circumstances, but in a crisis, it unleashed his potential. Consequently, the stagnant spiritual energy finally broke through with a loud bang. In other words, if not for these two old demons relentlessly pursuing him, he might not have broken through this bottleneck.

Surviving a great peril brings good fortune. However, Lin Xuan showed no gratitude toward the Twin Demons of Heavenly Mist.

He had managed to break through due to their interference but ultimately it was luck. If not… He shuddered at the thought of the consequences.

Turning his head, he saw that all his arrays were broken. The Silver-Winged Corpse King lay on one side, barely hanging on by a thread.

Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm and composed, yet an aura of fear seemed to emanate from him.

If you don't provoke me, I won’t provoke you!

But if you provoke me…

Lin Xuan would never back down. He had heard of the Twin Demons of Heavenly Mist before; since they were reckless enough to challenge him, he might as well test his newly acquired powers on them.

Despite their two opponents and one of them being a mid-Spirit Cultivation ancient demon, Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator.

He had taken the Five Elements Enveloping Spirit Array’s flag and defeated the Silver-Winged Corpse King to such an extent that it seemed like he had a grudge against him. Revenge is sweet.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan raised his right hand. Despite his disheveled appearance and ragged clothes, his skin was surprisingly smooth—a result of the Essence Cleansing Pill’s effects.

He formed his fingers into a sword and lightly drew it in front of him. His movements were graceful and elegant, without any hint of anger.

However, there was a faint sound like a steel wire snapping, barely audible to the human ear.

"Bad luck!"

The Twin Demons’ pupils constricted as they pushed each other with their hands, using the recoil force to blur their forms and fly off in opposite directions.

Just as they left, a silver light flashed, resembling a needle, about an arm's length long. If one had to describe it, it looked like a sword thread.

Transforming a sword into a thread wasn’t some extraordinary secret technique; even Core Formation cultivators could easily perform such a maneuver if they had any skill in swordsmanship.

However, the power and momentum of this move far surpassed Lin Xuan’s single slash. A sword thread would be as continuous as silk from a silkworm cocoon, unending.

The key wasn’t how impressive the technique looked; practicality was crucial!

The more simple and straightforward a technique, the greater its power. Simplicity is the essence of power.

The Twin Demons had gained a formidable reputation, so their eyesight was sharp, and they reacted quickly. As soon as they left, that fine thread sliced through the air.

It missed but plunged into the distant void…

After about a breath’s worth of time,

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed in their ears. If an ordinary person were there, they wouldn’t understand what had happened.

But for the Twin Demons, who were at the Spirit Cultivation stage, their divine senses were extraordinary. They raised their heads and saw that the light thread had already traveled over a hundred miles.

A towering mountain blocked its path but was split in half by it. The power and speed were terrifying!

Lin Xuan’s initial test of his abilities left them speechless.

After all, moving mountains and overturning seas might be trivial for beings at their level, but such effortless feats still seemed incredible.

"Brother."

The female demon's face showed a serious expression.

And the green-armored ancient demon echoed: "Fang Sister, we may have encountered a tricky opponent. This young man cannot be judged by his peers."

"This... I understand, but what of it? We've seen many storms in our time. Can he, just an ordinary Core Formation cultivator who has just broken through?"

A proud look appeared on the female demon's face. At this moment, Lin Xuan had no reason to hide his identity—trying to do so would be futile.

Although Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid of the Twin Demons, facing them required all his strength, thus revealing his true self. To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to follow and support it onStart Reading Novel Website.
