“You, a mere First Layer Mahayana realm cultivator, think you can harm me? Utterly delusional, haha!” The celestial beast spoke in human tongue, mocking Lin Yun with disdain.
It wasn’t that the First Layer Mahayana realm was weak; clearly, the beast’s level far surpassed it.
“To deal with you, the First Layer Mahayana realm is enough,” Lin Yun replied with a faint smile, refusing to lose in momentum.
“Still talking tough on the brink of death! I’ve been imprisoned here for so many years; today, I’ll vent my rage on you and crush you!”
With those words, the beast charged at Lin Yun again, its speed astonishing, reaching him in an instant.
“Then come on! If one of us must die today, I’m certain it’ll be you!”
Lin Yun swung his sword, the blade flashing like a phantom, striking out in an instant.
The immense physical strength of his Chaos Body erupted fiercely.
Shadow Sword Art, Eleventh Form!
Boom!
The sharp sword light clashed against the beast’s twin horns.
A terrifying force surged through the sword, overwhelming Lin Yun!
“Thud, thud, thud!”
Lin Yun was forced back repeatedly, each step heavy and resounding.
“Not only is its defence terrifying, but its strength is ferocious too!” Lin Yun thought, sensing trouble.
Just one clash, and he already felt how formidable this opponent was!
This celestial beast was strong!
Lin Yun felt immense pressure in facing it!
Fortunately, Lin Yun’s robust defence was his trump card; an ordinary First Layer Mahayana realm cultivator would have been killed by that attack!
“Roar!”
“Damn human, die!”
The beast charged at Lin Yun again in an instant.
“Sky-Shaking Hand!”
Lin Yun’s palm darkened rapidly, a terrifying force surging from it.
Wielding his sword, Lin Yun struck again with fierce momentum!
Boom!
After another clash, the beast opened its gaping maw, launching a sudden assault.
“Back off!”
With his rich combat experience, Lin Yun swiftly adjusted his sword, sweeping it in a counterstrike.
Boom, boom, boom!
Fierce exchanges erupted across the arena.
Now at the First Layer Mahayana realm, Lin Yun’s combat power was far greater than before.
His divine consciousness, now stronger, continuously enhanced his attacks.
If Lin Yun were still at the Third Layer Eternal realm, facing this beast, he’d likely be in mortal danger.
Even now, his situation was far from optimistic. Despite his strong defence, the beast couldn’t easily overpower him, but Lin Yun was struggling.
He estimated the beast’s combat strength was on par with Xin Yu from the Heavenly God Palace.
That was just its attack power; its defence was even stronger.
In a regular arena challenge, such an opponent wouldn’t be too difficult for Lin Yun now.
But this was a life-or-death battle, making it far more challenging!
Moreover, when Lin Yun arrived, the figure in midair had said the enemy was matched to his realm and age.
If Lin Yun’s realm were higher, an even stronger opponent would be assigned.
This trial’s difficulty was indeed immense.
In the battlefield.
Heaven-Slaying Seal!
Three blood-red seals formed on his chest, and Lin Yun’s aura surged dramatically.
“Come on!”
With his aura boosted, Lin Yun’s sword unleashed tremendous power, its light tearing through the void, striking the oncoming beast.
Boom!
A massive energy shockwave spread out, and this time, the beast was finally forced back.
Having reached the First Layer Mahayana realm, Lin Yun was no longer the same.
Yet, this attack only pushed the beast back; its defence was truly formidable.
Lin Yun reckoned the beast was likely a Sixth Layer celestial beast, but its combat power surpassed the Sixth Layer beast that once tried to assassinate him. Even within the same realm, strength varied greatly, and beasts were no exception.
When the demon clan sent a Sixth Layer beast to kill Lin Yun, he was overwhelmed, barely able to fight back, beaten from sky to ground, surviving only by his strong defence until help arrived.
This beast was even stronger than that assassin.
Yet now, Lin Yun could push this beast back, thanks to reaching the Mahayana realm and his enhanced divine consciousness.
This was already impressive.
If he faced that previous assassin beast now, Lin Yun was confident he could gain the upper hand, though killing it would still be difficult due to its strong defence.
The beast before him was clearly even tougher!
“You… how?”
The retreating beast looked at Lin Yun in shock, unable to believe the power a First Layer Mahayana realm cultivator could unleash.
Though Lin Yun was at the First Layer, his formidable physical strength gave him the ability to fight above his level, not to mention his other techniques.
“You mocked my First Layer realm, boasting you’d crush me? Seems you don’t have the strength for it,” Lin Yun said with a smirk.
Since this was a life-or-death battle, he didn’t mind provoking the beast.
“Damn human, you think this is all I’ve got?”
The beast’s green fur bristled, and it opened its maw, a green glow forming within.
Boom!
A terrifying green beam shot out, surging towards Lin Yun with overwhelming force.
Unfazed, Lin Yun swung his sword, slashing directly at the beam!
Bang!
The torrential green beam exploded, and a terrifying shockwave spread instantly.
Under the impact, Lin Yun was forced back.
The beast leapt into the air, diving at Lin Yun, its massive claws striking with even greater force.
It had fully unleashed its power!
“Not good!”
Lin Yun’s expression changed. While retreating, he swiftly raised his sword to block.
Boom, boom, boom!
Fierce close-quarters combat erupted again. This time, the beast’s full power made its attacks far fiercer.
“This isn’t good for me!”
In the midst of battle, Lin Yun felt the situation turning dire.
He was fighting at full strength, but the battle remained fiercely deadlock.
