The Stone Qilin naturally couldn't take even a single hit from Lin Fan and just like the first Stone Qilin, its eyes had rolled back in its head and it had fallen unconscious as well.
The strange thing still was that even though Lin Fan's strike had been much stronger this time, it still hadn't been able to make a single dent in the wall. This was power that had already cracked the Soul Realm barrier and had reached the Fragmented Soul Realm, yet it still couldn't do a single thing to this wall.
Still, just like before, he couldn't do anything to this wall, so there was nothing for him to do here.
Just like before, he finished off the Stone Qilin and gathered its parts before heading down the passage that had opened once again.
It didn't take him long to reach the end of this passage just like before, but this time was clearly different.
This was a test where each opponent became stronger and this was the final opponent, so it would definitely be much stronger than him.
When the platform finally reached the ground and the cage disappeared, revealing the beast inside.
It was another Stone Qilin, but this time the aura it released was clearly much different.
It wasn't just a Stone Qilin in the Platinum Realm, this one was already in the Soul Realm. Moreover, it wasn't in the beginning Soul Realm, it was deep into the Fragmented Soul Realm, reaching the high Fragmented Soul Realm.
But it didn't stop there, since this wasn't just a normal beast. This was also a Stone Qilin that had a single mutation, which meant that if it was fighting at full power, it would come close to the peak Fragmented Soul Realm or possibly even reaching the Embryo Soul Realm.
Still, Lin Fan wasn't worried about this at all since he also had something that he wanted to test out.
Not only had Lin Fan's weapon become stronger, he himself had been growing during the past two months. If he were to face Lord Jin in his condition now, it would be much easier for him.
However, Lin Fan knew that he couldn't face the Stone Qilin head on this time since after all, it was indeed much stronger than him. He would definitely be destroyed in a head on clash, which meant that he would have to fight intelligently instead of using brute force.
There was a flash of light that appeared in Lin Fan's hand, but this time it wasn't the same golden energy that Lin Fan always used. Rather it was a white energy, but it wasn't dazzling white like his lightning law. Instead it was a soft white colour that was similar to the white life energy that Lord Jin had before.
With a flash of that white light, Lin Fan suddenly disappeared from in front of the Stone Qilin.
As the Stone Qilin turned around for Lin Fan, Lin Fan had appeared in the air behind it with his fist raised, but this time it wasn't the white life energy around it. It was the concentration of three laws around Lin Fan's fist that fell right down on the Stone Qilin's head.
However, this Stone Qilin was quite strong after all, so it didn't fall with a single hit like with the other ones.
The Stone Qilin's head fell down after being hit, but it nudged it off quite quickly and turned to attack Lin Fan, but Lin Fan had already disappeared.
When Lin Fan appeared again, he was underneath the Stone Qilin and he had sent a punch right into the underbelly of the Stone Qilin. However, the Stone Qilin had very thick skin underneath and could take this blow.
Of course, it wouldn't just keep taking these blows silently. After taking the hit from below, the Stone Qilin immediately crashed down with its body in an attempt to crush Lin Fan, but Lin Fan was once again gone.
Just like this, again and again, Lin Fan kept disappearing and reappearing around the Stone Qilin, pelting it again and again with blows.
The law that Lin Fan was currently using was spatial laws, the same laws that Lord Jin had used.
After he brought Jin back, during the month that he had been making his preparations, he had also been using his time to drain some of Jin's laws every day. Since Jin was a King Beast and a single mutated beast, it meant that his laws were quite strong, which allowed Lin Fan to form his totem quite quickly. There was now a fourth complete totem that had formed in Lin Fan's dantian in just over a month of draining Jin's spatial laws, giving him complete access to spatial laws.
But Lin Fan had just formed this totem, so he was still getting used to these spatial laws.
At this time, there was the perfect grinding stone that had appeared in front of him. If he wasn't going to take this chance and use it, it would be a waste.
Lin Fan kept teleporting around the Stone Qilin, hitting it with attacks one after another.
The only upside for this was that the Stone Qilin had strong defenses with its earth laws, which meant that it was only taking minimal damage. However, being poked again and again like this, like it was being bothered by a fly really touched its nerves.
Eventually the Stone Qilin completely lost its temper and released a wave of life energy, creating a set of rock armour around itself.
Lin Fan could tell that his poking wasn't able to break through the defenses of the Stone Qilin and at the same time, he was also done testing this ability. It was time for him to test out something else.
Normally, it would take quite a bit of life energy to use spatial laws to continuously teleport around like this, even if it was short distance teleports. However, Lin Fan was probably the only person who could use spatial laws like this because of his special physique.
Because of the cultivation technique that he practiced, which allowed him to form suns in his dantian, they generated large amounts of life energy for him. This meant that Lin Fan had twice or maybe even three times the amount of life energy a normal expert in the same cultivation realm had.
At the same time, Lin Fan also had his suction force which he had been consistently using to drain the Stone Qilin's life energy, supplementing his own. As well as draining the life energy around him, helping him recover faster.
With all these factors, his recovery speed had almost matched his speed of consumption, so Lin Fan had only spent no more than 10% of his total life energy teleporting around like this.
But since the Stone Qilin had raised its defenses, Lin Fan knew that this no longer worked.
During that process, Lin Fan had been constantly swapping between his spatial laws and his other three laws, so he never had time to fully gather his energy into a single attack. This made his quick attacks much weaker than normal, which made it very hard to penetrate the defenses of the Stone Qilin in the first place.
But now that the Stone Qilin had raised its defenses, it meant that Lin Fan could test something else.
Lin Fan put his hands together and gathered his life energy between them, creating a ball of soft white energy. The energy kept spinning in his hands and becoming stronger before it finally was on the verge of collapsing.
Since the Stone Qilin had summoned the rock armour, it was now moving much slower compared to before, which gave Lin Fan plenty of time.
Once the ball of energy was about to collapse, Lin Fan suddenly pushed it forward, but nothing seemed to happen. However, after a second, there seemed to be something that had cut right through the rock armour that was around the Stone Qilin, cutting pieces of it off.
Lin Fan had gathered his spatial laws together and condensed it to form blades of pure spatial energy that had even cut through space itself. it had cut through the defenses of the Stone Qilin, but it hadn't been able to cut through the Stone Qilin itself. Nevertheless, the damage had been done and the Stone Qilin had been pushed back.
Just like this, Lin Fan continued to use his various new attacks on the Stone Qilin while it was unable to fight back at all.
This was only possible because it was a Stone Qilin that relied on using earth laws, which meant that it didn't have any laws that would help it catch up to Lin Fan's speed.
The Stone Qilin could only watch as Lin Fan pelted it with attacks after attacks, unable to catch up and hit Lin Fan with its own attacks.
Lin Fan combined his new spatial laws with all his various laws, creating different attacks and learning what the limits of the spatial laws were. The Stone Qilin was completely made of stones, but it was being used as a grinding stone right now.
The Stone Qilin felt rage at first, but that rage disappeared and it was soon filled with despair before just wanting to die overall.
It was continuously being tortured by Lin Fan like this, but Lin Fan wouldn't let it die or leave it alone, so after a while, it just crawled on the ground and covered its head as two rows of tears dripped out of its eyes.
