第三千八百三十八章 牛刀小试

Unaware of one's own mortality!

The other party was so domineering that Lin Xuan found himself at a loss, laughing and crying. Did they really think he was a soft target to be toyed with?

If it were any other cultivator, they would have been fuming with rage, but given Lin Xuan’s personality, he wouldn’t get worked up over such trivial matters.

Regardless of their attitude, these two Demonic Beasts from beyond the heavens indeed possessed formidable strength.

Since he had mastered his domain and engaged in numerous battles, he had merely dispatched some juniors. How strong was his current power? Honestly, only Lin Xuan himself could estimate it with a rough guess due to the lack of concrete data.

So this opportunity before him seemed highly valuable. It served as a test of his strength.

Indeed, it was like having a piece of gold to test the purity of another metal.

Lin Xuan’s joy was evident; he truly had good luck. It was akin to someone offering you a pillow when you were about to sleep.

With a sneer on his lips, he said, "Enough with the empty talk! Want to know my background? Just defeat me. You traveled all this way, did you come here just for idle chat?"

"Y-You..."

The woman's eyebrows knitted together in anger as she glared at him. "What a sharp-tongued brat. I originally wanted you to live longer, but since you're so reckless, don't blame me when your demise comes."

"Enough chatter!"

Unlike previous battles, Lin Xuan was testing his own strength this time and didn’t rush for the upper hand. A cold voice echoed in the other party's ears.

"Y-You..."

The Demonic Beast’s face couldn’t bear the repeated humiliation; it roared as its right hand extended, sending a torrent of demonic energy. A black thread snaked towards Lin Xuan with deadly intent.

It was incredibly fast, but to Lin Xuan, it was easily traceable. It was a demonic dagger, no more than a few inches long, imbued with an devouring法则. It was a noticeable attack.

Of course, this threat was only relative to others; for himself...

Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm as he flicked his index finger towards the front.

No precious treasures were summoned; just a beam of light suddenly appeared and crossed time and space, colliding with the Demonic Beast's dagger.

A soft "pop" echoed in their ears as an unbelievable scene unfolded before them—the dagger was easily devoured by Lin Xuan’s emitted light.

Indeed, devouring. The phrase sounded absurd, but this dagger originally had a devouring法则. It was now swallowed by his casual attack.

It was like a slap in the face; the woman's expression darkened as if it would rain.

She turned to vent her anger at her companion. "You fool! What are you still standing there for? Hurry and attack before I lose more face!"

Unreasonable!

Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel speechless. The male Demonic Beast beside him also wore a bitter smile, but didn't dare argue; instead, he roared in anger, demonic energy swirling around him.

His figure suddenly grew taller, and an extra head sprouted from his shoulder while his arms multiplied to four. At first glance, it resembled the ancient demon's transformation into a multi-headed form.

However, his aura was much stronger, though not quite on par with his former treasure snake but close to the late-stage realm of cultivation.

Such formidable enemies were undoubtedly intimidating, yet Lin Xuan felt elated. He even hoped these two possessed domains.

Lin Xuan wasn’t delusional; he had grown immensely in strength and needed a worthy opponent to test himself. This also showed that his confidence was unwavering.

The male Demonic Beast transformed into a creature with two heads and four arms, while the woman beside him didn't idle either. She stretched her hands, and bone-cracking sounds filled the air as she grew taller, transforming into a creature with a goat's head and human body.

Her entire body was covered in purple-red scales.

The demonic energy emanating from her wasn’t weaker than that of the male; both had reached the late-stage realm of cultivation.

"Gargh! You worthless scoundrel, you can die now!"

The female Demonic Beast roared, swinging her tail like a venomous snake towards Lin Xuan. The two-headed four-armed demon waved its arms wildly, sending dozens of black fist shadows rushing at him with sharp whistling sounds.

The void was torn apart; the space around them almost collapsed.

However, Lin Xuan’s expression remained indifferent.

He raised his right hand and casually pointed it forward.

"Pop!"

A flame appeared on his fingertip, a multi-colored crystal. It transformed into a giant firebird that exhaled cold air.

Firebirds expelling cold air was absurd, but to one who had mastered domains, the elements were at his command. The cold air spread out, forming a deep blue cloud that enveloped the enemy's attacks.

Neither the snake-like thrust nor the sharp fist winds had any effect.

The two Demonic Beasts could only stare in shock.

Clearly, Lin Xuan’s performance was far beyond expectations, making them realize this unassuming cultivator wasn’t as easily toyed with as they had imagined.

Lin Xuan defused their attacks but didn't immediately counterattack.

He said to the two Demonic Beasts, "I say, you are strong Demonic Beasts from beyond the heavens; don’t tell me your strength is limited to this. Such trivial tests only make a fool of yourselves. If you want to avoid quick demise, I advise you to take this seriously and show some real skills."

Lin Xuan’s tone was dripping with mockery, causing the two Demonic Beasts to nearly faint from rage.

"Fine, fine."

The female with a goat's head said with a grimace. "I've had enough fun; let me see if your big talk is just empty words or if you have some unique abilities."

Before she could finish speaking, she transformed into three entities in a triangular formation.

From their mouths, each of the three exhaled a ball of demonic energy that instantly expanded to cover the area.

PS: Tomorrow, Huan Yu will be on a business trip and won't return until the day after tomorrow. There might be fewer updates, but rest assured, I won’t stop writing. Please bear with me!
