第两千八百六十二章 胆大包天

As for the pervasive demonic aura, it had already been cut to pieces by Lin Xuan's divine sword, like tofu being sliced.

However, the matter was far from over. Although Lin Xuan had taken off the ancient demon’s head, this creature, as a saint-level monster, might not fall immediately.

A look of determination flashed across Lin Xuan's face. He raised his right hand, and in his palm appeared a ball of five-colored crystal, with a flame about the size of an egg leaping up into view before everyone.

"..."

Instantly, there were gasps all around as the guests present were all cultivators who had gone through tribulation, naturally recognizing the value. Even with their strength, they felt some unease at the sight of this flame, wondering what secret technique it was.

"Ho!"

Lin Xuan shouted loudly and forcefully pushed the flame forward. With his action, the Illusory Heavenly Flame flashed, then surged upward with a loud boom.

Almost in an instant, the flame expanded to cover several acres, enveloping the corpse of the Saint of Primordial Energy. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword did not stop its movements; it continued to weave through the air, showing no intention of stopping until the opponent was completely dismembered.

Taking advantage of his enemy's weakness, Lin Xuan naturally had no qualms about sparing him. It was now a matter of life and death, deciding the outcome. He would not care about the cost of power at this moment; both the Illusory Heavenly Flame and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword’s attacks were incredibly fierce.

The Ice Spirit Treasure Snake's eyes glowed with anger, wishing to devour Lin Xuan alive, but with so many cultivators around, they could not act rashly.

After a few breaths, the cries of the Saint of Primordial Energy grew weaker and weaker. His physical body had already been destroyed; the demonic embryo had used its essence energy for a brief moment before ultimately meeting its end.

A single misstep led to total failure. This outcome was likely something even the Saint of Primordial Energy did not anticipate in his dreams.

He actually lost, defeated by a mere spirit fragment cultivator.

In truth, it didn't matter whether it was the Saint of Primordial Energy or Lin Xuan himself; such an easy victory had clearly caught them off guard. The power of tribulation-stage cultivators was something he already knew well from experiencing it through his own spirit fragments.

No matter how formidable the Saint of Primordial Energy might be, Lin Xuan estimated that a one-on-one battle would still have very slim chances of winning.

Lin Xuan had even prepared to release his true soul puppet as his final trump card. With this support, he dared to bet with the Ice Spirit Treasure Snake; no matter how powerful the Saint of Primordial Energy might be, it could not match him and his true soul puppet combined.

But fate was against them, making things much simpler than expected. Perhaps he had been lucky, or perhaps the Saint of Primordial Energy underestimated him, leading to a situation where he fell into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword's ultimate kill, losing in a hazy state without even having time to use his overwhelming abilities.

This was Lin Xuan’s first true victory over a tribulation-stage old monster. It wasn’t so much about his strength as it was good fortune.

But regardless of how he felt internally, on the surface, Lin Xuan displayed extreme joy. Indeed, defeating the Saint of Primordial Energy deserved celebration from any angle.

Turning to look at the guests, he spoke slowly towards the Ice Spirit Treasure Snake: "Two fairies, this battle is a lucky win for me. Please honor your promise."

"You..."

The Ice Spirit's face was as cold as ice, while the Ice Spirit Treasure Snake wished to devour Lin Xuan whole. Despite their anger, they could not break their word in front of so many tribulation-stage cultivators.

If looks could kill, Lin Xuan would have already perished.

After much hesitation, the two true primordial spirits finally did not let their rage cloud their judgment.

Even if they disregarded face and broke their promises, the present cultivators would not allow it. With the combined strength of Cold Immortal, Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, and Dragon Master, they had already suffered more defeats than victories.

Engaging in battle would only bring shame, and the outcome was certain to be a laughingstock among the three realms.

Such foolishness was something the Ice Spirit Treasure Snake and the Ice Spirit could not afford.

Withdrawing for now, letting this young man enjoy his victory for a while. One day, he would fall into their hands.

The Ice Spirit Treasure Snake took a deep breath, her anger gradually dissipating as she smiled. The victor is the one who laughs last; how long can this Lin youth continue to be smug?

"Alright, since you won this battle, I will keep my promise and not trouble you again."

With a smile, she turned around: "Sister, let's go..."

"Wait."

Lin Xuan called out.

"Why?"

The Ice Spirit stopped in her tracks, turning back with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Did the fairies forget something?"

"Forget something?"

"Yes, before this battle, we agreed that if I managed to win against Primordial Energy, you two would not trouble me and also give me an Essence Snake Pill of Nine Transformations as a reward. Is it possible for a noble person to forget such things..."

Lin Xuan's voice carried a hint of mockery. Regardless of what happened, the other party wouldn't dare to break their word.

"You..."

The Ice Spirit was both shocked and angry. Cultivators had excellent memory; how could she, as a true primordial spirit, possibly forget this agreement?

But it was so frustrating!

She originally thought everything would go smoothly, believing that no matter how powerful Lin Xuan might be, he couldn't defeat a tribulation-stage saint. However, fate intervened, and the Saint of Primordial Energy fell.

Her original plan had failed.

So she decided not to trouble Lin Xuan, but this young man was so bold; he actually dared to come asking for an Essence Snake Pill of Nine Transformations.
