In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"To witness a battle like this, the trip was definitely worthwhile!"

"Hehehe, you shouldn't underestimate our young friend!" Li Zhengzhi, who hadn't spoken much for a while, suddenly interjected.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just you wait and see!" Li Zhengzhi continued to maintain his mystery.

With an inner spiritual power of over 400,000, and the ability to venture deep into a mysterious land and slay two powerful level 10 magical beasts, Lin Hai is really not like what he just showed!

"So you have a divine artifact, then I won't stand on ceremony anymore!" Long Xingyu, clad in divine armor, pointed the Doomsday and Slaughter God Sword at Lin Hai.

"I'll give you a little more time. Show me what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

"Oh? I'm afraid if I use any more, it won't be a battle anymore!"

Lin Hai raised the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his right hand, swung it horizontally in front of his eyes, then flicked it down, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Long Xingyu and said, "It's not 'crushing,' but 'utter domination'!!"

"Hmph!" You madman!

Long Xingyu flew directly towards Lin Hai. Because of the battle between Lin Hai and Long Tianyin, Long Xingyu had a basic understanding of Lin Hai's level, so he went straight for the real deal.

"Domain of Slaughter!" The domain of the God of Doomsday and the Throne of Slaughter instantly spread boundless killing intent across the entire area.

"The Killing Domain of the Starry Sky is getting stronger and stronger!"

"Indeed, so many years have passed, and Xingyu has grown as well!"

"Interesting! Is it similar to Killing Field?"

"But it doesn't work on me at all!"

"Thunder Zone!"

At the same time, a huge array pattern emerged from beneath Lin Hai's feet, instantly enveloping the entire arena.

"Thunder Web!"

The power of the thunder immediately spread out, then intertwined in the sky to form a huge and dense net of lightning.

"Old Long, it seems this kid didn't go all out when he fought you!" Qiu Yonghao said to Long Tianyin with a gloating tone.

"Get lost!" Long Tianyin said irritably.

"Hahahahaha!"

On the battlefield, when Long Xingyu saw a giant net of thunder descending, he did not hesitate at all and directly raised the Doomsday and Slaughter Sword to slash at the giant net of thunder.

"As expected of a divine artifact, it is the strongest Divine Throne besides the Eternal and Creation Divine Throne!" Lin Hai exclaimed in admiration when he saw Long Xingyu break through his first form magic attack with ease.

"Is this all you've got?!"

"How about this then!" Lin Hai said, maintaining his smile.

Then, a powerful mental wave that shocked everyone spread throughout the venue.

"How is this possible!" Long Xingyu suddenly felt that he could no longer move!

"So this kid's greatest strength isn't the intensity of his spiritual power, but rather his mental fortitude!"

"Such spiritual power, I don't even know how to measure it!" Indeed, in the more than six thousand years since the demons descended upon the Holy Demon Continent, apart from the sages of the past who were so powerful, there are no strong individuals in their time who have broken through to 500,000 in inner spiritual power.

Because generation after generation, after reaching the ninth rank, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the fight against the demon race. They all fell on the battlefield before they could truly become stronger.

"Ahhhhh!" Long Xingyu shouted, his spiritual energy surging out explosively. The shockwave even caused the space around him to tremble.

"This is how a battle should be!"

"You're very good, Long Xingyu."

"I don't need you to acknowledge my strength! I will prove my strength myself!" With all his might, Long Xingyu broke free from Lin Hai's powerful mental restraints.

Long Xingyu continued his actions. He nimbly dodged and moved in front of Lin Hai, engaging him in a full-blown duel.

Under the full force of his attack, Long Xingyu's energy was naturally depleted quickly, but Lin Hai's control over him was also becoming increasingly difficult. Of course, if Lin Hai were to fully utilize his strength, he could still manage to keep Long Xingyu under control for a period of time.

"It's the Nine Dragons Stepping!"

It includes nine footwork techniques, suitable for different battles. It can not only enhance oneself and weaken the opponent's attack, but also allow the user to control the rhythm in battle.

"This kid forced Xingyu to use such a resource-consuming skill so quickly. It seems Xingyu is under pressure too!"

"This kid is a real freak, I wonder where he came from."

"Don't look at us, we don't know either. It was Li Zhengzhi who introduced us." Chen Hongyu quickly threw the question to Li Zhengzhi.

All eyes turned to Li Zhengzhi, who remained calm and composed.

"Hehehe, don't look at me either, I don't know where it comes from either."

"It was my young friend who approached me; I just happened to run into him!"

"He's quite generous; he traded a long-vanished anaconda for forbidden magic with me!"

"Hmm, a level 10 magical beast, a succubus!"

"My God! A level ten magical beast, and it's even a anaconda, a magical beast that has practically disappeared!"

"According to existing ancient records, the anaconda is a powerful magical beast second only to the dragon, with astonishing defensive capabilities."

"And what's more, our young friend also hunted down a Sawfish, the King of Sawfish, a level ten magical beast!"

"A sawfish! It's a sawfish! Weren't sawfish extinct a long time ago?"

What is a sawfish?

"I saw this in an ancient book; it's a terrifying magical beast. Individually, they are incredibly powerful, equivalent to an eighth-level magical beast, and they also fight in groups. Their destructive power is terrifying."

"This magical beast is amphibious. Its biggest weakness is that it cannot fly. However, its attacks are very stealthy. Even flying magical beasts and humans are likely to be strangled before they can even take flight when they encounter them."

"In ancient times, this kind of magical beast once reigned supreme. Later, it met its demise when it encountered its natural enemy, the dragon."

"So it turns out we underestimated this kid! We thought we'd figured him out!"

"Hehehe, this young friend is not as simple as he seems!" Ling Xiao laughed loudly.

As Lin Hai and Long Xingyu's battle intensified, Lin Hai admitted that he had underestimated the power of the divine artifact.

The reason he was able to completely overwhelm Long Tianyin during their fight was partly due to Long Tianyin's age; as he got older, his fighting power was naturally no longer at its peak.

Secondly, Lin Hai's inner spiritual power is over 400,000, while Long Tianyin's is over 200,000, resulting in a significant difference in their strength.

Finally, the Throne of Order and Law cannot compare with the Throne of Doomsday and Slaughter in terms of attack power.

After arriving in this world, Lin Hai never fought against any truly strong individuals; he only ever crushed the weak.

When he had 200,000 inner spiritual power, he fought against a level 10 magical beast; when he had 400,000 inner spiritual power, he bullied the Demon Prince; and he was A Bao, the first in line to inherit the throne of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan…

Lin Hai's arrogance just now was because after he revealed his spiritual power, Long Xingyu failed to reach the state he expected, so he used an arrogant and haughty tone to provoke Long Xingyu.

Of course, the result was quite satisfactory.

His battle with Long Xingyu was equally impressive.

Without a stable standard of evaluation, Lin Hai naturally couldn't accurately assess Long Xingyu's strength.

But in reality, he had a one-on-one battle with Ananda, the seventh demon god of the demon race, before this battle!

Although Ananda ranks seventh among all the demon gods, this does not mean that he is the seventh among all the demon gods. The ranking of the 72 pillar demon gods is based on the size of the total spiritual power of their races. In other words, the ranking of the 72 pillar demon gods not only takes into account the spiritual power of the pillar demon gods themselves, but also adds the spiritual power of the races under their command into the total spiritual power of the demon god.

The seventh demon god, Ananda, is the most peculiar among all the demon gods. As a war-crazed demon god, his only pursuit in life is power. Therefore, he chose to be a solitary demon god, without cultivating his own race under his command.

This means that Ananda's ninth-tier, fifth-level strength is his true strength. With this power, even the fourth demon god, the necromancer demon god Samigina, is helpless against Ananda. After all, Ananda's strength is comparable to that of the top five demon gods.

Although Ananda could not reach the level of the Star Demon God, his strength was in no way inferior to that of Samigina and Malbashi.

Ananda's strength ranks among the top five for another very important reason: once Ananda enters a battle, he will fight to the death with his enemy, whether the opponent is human or demon god. Ananda will fight to the death and will not stop until a winner is decided.

This is why even the demons considered him a madman and refused to spar with him. Ananda's immense strength also fostered his arrogant personality. In the entire demon realm, apart from Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, he viewed almost all other demon gods as sparring partners. Ananda found it difficult to truly acknowledge anyone.

However, everything changed when Long Xingyu, the genius knight of the Knights' Temple, appeared before him. Long Xingyu's powerful strength quickly aroused Anan's interest, and in order to have a fair fight, the two even made a special challenge.

However, compared to Ananda, Long Xingyu, who only possesses the strength of the ninth rank, level three, is slightly inferior in every aspect. It would be quite difficult for him to defeat Ananda with his own strength. Fortunately, Long Xingyu has the throne of the God of Doomsday and Slaughter, which can greatly increase Long Xingyu's combat power. Even when facing a ninth rank, level five expert, he can easily deal with him.

However, Ananda also possessed the power of the Demon God Pillar, a divine artifact. Although its power boost wasn't as dramatic as the Divine Throne, it was still considerable. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, Long Xingyu's strength was still slightly inferior to Ananda's. Logically, Long Xingyu should have had a difficult time defeating Ananda, but in the end, he miraculously severely injured him.

Only they themselves know what exactly happened.

Therefore, based on this conclusion, Lin Hai's current overall strength should exceed that of a ninth-tier fifth-level cultivator.

……

"Bang!" Long Xingyu found an opening and cleaved Lin Hai down with his sword. Fortunately, Lin Hai reacted quickly and raised the Sun and Moon Divine Snail Shield in his left hand to block the attack.

However, Long Xingyu's powerful strike was by no means weak.

Lin Hai was thrown directly onto the stage.

"He's actually injured!" As the dust settled, Lin Hai's upright figure was revealed. Lin Hai reached up and touched the corner of his mouth, where there was a trace of blood.

Lin Hai glanced at the bloodstains on his hands, then looked up at Long Xingyu in the air.

"I admit I underestimated you, but I'm very satisfied with the result!"

"I haven't been injured in a long time since I came here!"

"Hahahaha!" Lin Hai laughed in a low voice.

"I'm very satisfied!"

"Long Xingyu, I acknowledge your strength, but... this is a chaotic era, and the strong are the ones who truly speak for themselves!"

"I respond to your fighting spirit! If you have no other options, prepare for yet another defeat in your life!"

Long Xingyu didn't rush in to finish off the enemy because it was just a friendly spar, not about killing anyone, but about both sides fighting to the best of their ability.

"Aren't you curious why I call myself a battle mage?"

Long Xingyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then his expression changed slightly.

Because he can't move again!

"He actually had a backup plan!!!!"

"~ ...

"Thor's divine punishment!!"

Whoosh! As Lin Hai finished chanting the last line, the lightning element energy in the air remained at its peak.

In the void, a phantom figure made entirely of lightning appeared, wielding a lightning spear, looking extremely imposing.

"It's forbidden magic, and the casting speed is so fast!" someone from the Magic Temple exclaimed in surprise. The giant lightning spear also shot out with lightning speed, aiming straight for Long Xingyu.

"Ugh!" Although Long Xingyu couldn't move, he could still activate his inner spiritual power to construct a protective shield.

After casting his first forbidden spell, Lin Hai did not stop what he was doing.

"Binding of Nature!" A green magic circle appeared around Long Xingyu, and then four huge vines spread out and wrapped around Long Xingyu's wrists and ankles.

"Blazing Sun of Light!" The third forbidden spell followed immediately.

Warm and intense light-attribute energy gathered in front of Long Xingyu.

"Wow, this kid's ruthless!"

"First, we used mental power to temporarily restrain Long Xingyu's actions, then we used forbidden spells to block Long Xingyu's next move, restrained him again, and then launched a final attack, while constantly depleting Long Xingyu's strength."

The scorching power of the holy light pressed down, engulfing Long Xingyu.

"Judgment!" Long Xingyu, enveloped in holy light, suddenly roared.

The scorching holy light was shaken off, revealing Long Xingyu's figure.

He was not the same as before. Everything else was fine, except that he looked a little pale, which must have been due to the exertion.
