lín xuān zhēng dòu jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， cóng lì guǐ de biǎo qíng ， zì rán bù nán cāi dào tā xiǎng yào zuò shén me ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò xiē xǔ nù yì 。 xiǎng yào jiāng qīng huǒ huǐ qù ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。
林轩争斗经验何等丰富，从厉鬼的表情，自然不难猜到他想要做什么，眼睛微眯，脸上闪过些许怒意。想要将青火毁去，哪有那么容易。
Lin Xuan's combat experience was vast, and from the expression on Li Hai’s face, it wasn't hard to guess what he intended. His eyes narrowed slightly as a hint of anger flashed across his face. Destroying the green flame wouldn’t be that easy.
lín xuān lěng hēng le yī shēng ， mǎn liǎn yīn chén ， zuǒ shǒu fān zhuǎn ， yī bǐng shì yàng gǔ piáo de duǎn jiàn fú xiàn chū wèi 。 zhǎng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn liè wén biàn bù ， cǐ bǎo jū rán bù - guò shì yī cán cì pǐn bà le 。
林轩冷哼了一声，满脸阴沉，左手翻转，一柄式样古朴的短剑浮现出未。长不过尺许，表面裂纹遍布，此宝居然不-过是一残次品罢了。
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his face darkening. He flicked his left hand, and an ancient-looking short sword appeared out of thin air. It was no more than a foot long, its surface covered with cracks. This treasure turned out to be nothing but a defective item.
rán ér yī gǔ páng bó de wēi yā què mí sàn ér chū ， jiāng zhěng gè guǎng chǎng quán dōu lóng zhù ， nà tóu dǐng de lì guǐ zàn qiě bù shuō ， jiǔ yīng de liǎn shàng zhōng yú lù chū le níng zhòng zhī sè 。
然而一股磅礴的威压却弥散而出，将整个广场全都笼住，那头顶的厉鬼暂且不说，九婴的脸上终于露出了凝重之色。
However, a powerful aura spread around him, enveloping the entire square. The ghostly figure above didn’t need mentioning; Jiuyin’s face finally showed a serious expression.
tōng tiān líng bǎo jí shǐ fàng dào shàng jiè yě shǔ xī yǒu ， jí biàn cán pò ， wēi lì yī jiù bù róng yǒu fēn háo xiǎo qiáo 。“ hē ！”
通天灵宝即使放到上界也属稀有，即便残破，威力依旧不容有分毫小瞧。“喝！”
Even if this divine treasure was rare in the Upper Heavens, its power remained formidable even when broken. "Humph!"
suí zhe lín xuān yī shēng qīng chì ， hún shēn qīng guāng liú lí bù zhǐ ， fǎ lì zhù rù ， yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de fú wén zài jiàn rèn shàng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随着林轩一声轻叱，浑身青光流离不止，法力注入，一个个拳头大小的符文在剑刃上浮现而出。
With Lin Xuan's low voice, a green glow surrounded his body as he poured mana into it. Numerous runes, each about the size of a fist, appeared on the blade’s surface.
shēn ào gǔ piáo ， yǔ rén jiè de fú wén dà bù xiāng tóng ， suí hòu nà xiē fú jiā xuán zhuǎn shǎn shuò ， xiàng yǒu shēng mìng yì bān de zuān rù le lín xuān de qū tǐ zhī zhōng 。 tā de shǒu zhǎng bèi yī céng yín máng bāo bì ， fǎ lì zài zhù rù duàn jiàn shí xiǎn de cóng róng le xǔ duō 。
深奥古朴，与人界的符文大不相同，随后那些符夹旋转闪烁，像有生命一般的钻入了林轩的躯体之中。他的手掌被一层银芒包襞，法力再注入断剑时显得从容了许多。
These runes were profound and ancient, vastly different from those in the human world. They spun and flickered, seemingly alive, drilling into Lin Xuan's body. A layer of silver light enveloped his hand, making the injection of mana smoother than before.
yǔ guò qù shǐ yòng cǐ bǎo shí bù tóng ， jìn jiē dà xiū shì yǐ hòu lín xuān yǐ jiāng tōng bǎo jué de dì èr céng cān tòu ， yín guāng yī liǎn ， lín xuān de shǒu shàng jū rán chū xiàn liǎo wú shù tóng qián dà xiǎo de jīng piàn ， yǔ tōng tiān líng bǎo róng hé le yì bān 。 nà lín piàn shàng yǒu wú shù xì mì de huā wén ， rú tóng jiǎ zhòu ， yì zhí yán shēn dào tā de shǒu zhǒu 。
与过去使用此宝时不同，进阶大修士以后林轩已将通宝诀的第二层参透，银光一敛，林轩的手上居然出现了无数铜钱大小的鲸片，与通天灵宝融合了一般。那鳞片上有无数细密的花纹，如同甲胄，一直延伸到他的手肘。
Unlike when he used this treasure previously, after advancing to a Great Immortal, Lin Xuan had unlocked the second level of the Through Treasure Art. Not only did its power increase significantly, but it consumed less mana compared to before.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī è ， zhè yàng de biàn gù què shì tā zì jǐ yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào de ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ yǒu shí jiān duō zuò sī suǒ ， hé kuàng suī rán lüè wēi guài yì le yī xiē ， dàn lín xuān què bìng wèi gǎn dào yǒu hé bù tuǒ ， fǎn ér yǔ duàn jiàn de lián xì biàn dé gèng jiā jǐn mì 。 xuè mài xiāng lián ， rú tóng wò zhe zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù yì bān 。
林轩表情一愕，这样的变故却是他自己也没有想到的，然而此时此刻，哪有时间多做思索，何况虽然略微怪异了一些，但林轩却并未感到有何不妥，反而与断剑的联系变得更加紧密。血脉相连，如同握着自己的本命宝物一般。
In short, since his palm was now wrapped in silver scales, it seemed capable of absorbing surrounding primordial energy from the world. Such a divine ability should be within the realm of Separation and Union Realm cultivators, but with the aid of the Through Heaven Divine Treasure, he felt a taste of it early on.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， xī le kǒu qì ， yī jiàn hěn hěn de xiàng tóu dǐng huī là xià qù 。
林轩眼中闪过一缕异色，吸了口气，一剑狠狠的像头顶挥落下去。
Though still vague about specific details, such an early understanding of the next realm was highly beneficial for future breakthroughs. This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
wú shēng wú xī ， rán ér bàn kōng zhī zhōng què guǐ yì de fú xiàn chū yī dào yín sè de jiàn qì ， rú liú xīng suì yǔ ， cháo zhe nà dú jiǎo zhǎng bí de lì guǐ hū xiào ér qù 。
无声无息，然而半空之中却诡异的浮现出一道银色的剑气，如流星穗羽，朝着那独角长鼻的厉鬼呼啸而去。
With one successful strike, Lin Xuan didn’t linger in place but instead moved swiftly, deploying the Nine Heavens Step, appearing several dozen feet away.
hōng ！
轰！
Jiuyin was far more formidable than that ghostly figure. As he left, the area where he stood was immediately invaded by grayish-white demonic flames. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, his face showing no signs of surprise or alarm as he turned and struck again.
zhěng gè shān fēng ， fǎng fú dōu jīng lì le yī cì qīng wēi de zhèn dòng ， zài tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， yī tuán yín sè de guāng yùn měng rán bào kāi ， chì mù yào yǎn ， lǐ miàn hái yǒu yí gè dòu dà de fú wén yǒng xiàn ， nà wēi shì fǎng fú kě yǐ kāi tiān ， suí hòu yī fù guǐ yì de huà juàn zhǎn shì zài le miàn qián ……
整个山峰，仿佛都经历了一次轻微的震动，在头顶上空，一团银色的光韵猛然爆开，赤目耀眼，里面还有一个斗大的符文涌现，那威势仿佛可以开天，随后一副诡异的画卷展示在了面前……
This time, he poured in even more mana. The silver sword aura wasn’t silent anymore; it seemed like a long rainbow piercing the sky. Blue lightning enveloped the sword’s edge, along with countless runes. More terrifyingly, a giant Taiji pattern could be vaguely seen behind it… Before the sword reached its target, it already exuded an overwhelming destructive force. The surrounding primordial energy of the world seemed to have been cut by each strike.
nà xíng mào zhēng níng de lì guǐ ， fǎng fú yáng guāng xià de bīng xuě yì bān ， xiān shì tóu lú ， suí hòu shì tàn chū xuán wō de bàn jié qū tǐ ， zuì hòu nà zhǐ fǎng fú jiān bù kě cuī de guǐ zhǎo mó bì ， zài yín sè de yóu yūn lǐ ， céng céng xiāo róng ， zuì hòu suí fēng xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。 lín xuān yī zhāo shǒu ， qīng huǒ jiàn huà wèi yī lǚ xì xiǎo de lǜ máng ， fēi rù le tā de yī xiù 。
那形貌狰狞的厉鬼，仿佛阳光下的冰雪一般，先是头颅，随后是探出漩涡的半截躯体，最后那只仿佛坚不可摧的鬼爪魔臂，在银色的尤晕里，层层消融，最后随风消失得无影无踪。林轩一招手，青火剑化为一缕细小的绿芒，飞入了他的衣袖。
Although this Jiuyin was just a fragment of its essence from millions of years ago, its strength still rivaled that of Separation and Union Realm cultivators.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， cān wù tōng bǎo jué dì èr céng hòu jiù shì bù tóng ， bù jǐn wēi lì bǐ yǐ qián zēng jiā hěn duō ， ér qiě duì fǎ lì de xiāo hào hǎo xiàng fǎn ér bù rú cóng qián le 。
林轩脸上露出满意之色，参悟通宝诀第二层后就是不同，不仅威力比以前增加很多，而且对法力的消耗好像反而不如从前了。
Lin Xuan had few encounters with such old monsters, and only Huìtōng had truly fought against one. However, Jiuyin’s fragmentary soul was much more troublesome.
zěn me shuō ne ， zì jǐ de shǒu zhǎng bèi yín sè lín piàn bāo guǒ yǐ hòu ， fǎng fú kě yǐ xī nà zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì ， àn lǐ ， zhè yàng de shén tōng ， zhǐ yǒu lí hé qī xiū shì cái néng chù chǒu =， dàn jiè zhù tōng tiān líng bǎo de wēi lì ， zì jǐ sì hū tí qián tǐ huì dào yī xiē 。
怎么说呢，自己的手掌被银色鳞片包裹以后，仿佛可以吸纳周围的天地元气，按理，这样的神通，只有离合期修士才能触丑=，但借助通天灵宝的威力，自己似乎提前体会到一些。
Though he hadn’t yet unleashed all his divine abilities, after a series of exchanges, Lin Xuan could clearly gauge the other party's strength. The chances of winning were slim; the only hope lay in the Through Heaven Divine Treasure!
suī jiè měng dǒng dǒng ， yú jù tǐ qíng xíng ， bìng bù qīng chǔ ， dàn zhè zhǒng tí qián duì xià yí gè jìng jiè yǒu suǒ lǐng wù ， duì rì hòu chōng jī píng xū kě shì dà yǒu yòng tú ， zhè yě suàn yì wài zhī xǐ le 。
虽借懵懂懂，于具体情形，并不清楚，但这种提前对下一个境界有所领悟，对日后冲击瓶须可是大有用途，这也算意外之喜了。
Thus, this strike left no room for holding back. The dazzling sword aura seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth.
yī jī chéng gōng ， lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu zài yuán dì duō zuò tíng liú ， ér shì shēn xíng piāo hū ， shī zhǎn chū jiǔ tiān jiǎo bù ， yī shǎn zhī hòu ， jiù chū xiàn zài shù shí zhàng kāi wài le 。
一击成功，林轩却并没有在原地多做停留，而是身形飘忽，施展出九天徼步，一闪之后，就出现在数十丈开外了。
Such an overwhelming final attack couldn’t be ignored by Jiuyin. It raised its nine heads high. Roar! Different sounds emerged from each of the blood-red mouths—some like infant cries, others like the collective wails of spirits, some like tiger roars or dragon’s breath, even the sound of fierce winds…
jiǔ yīng kě yuǎn bǐ nà lì guǐ nán yǐ duì fù ， lín xuān zài lí kāi de yī shùn jiān ， tā gāng gāng suǒ zhàn lì zhī chù ， jiù bèi huī bái sè de mó huǒ qīn shí ， lín xuān tóng kǒng zuò suō ， liǎn shàng què wú jīng wú xǐ ， sà rán zhuǎn guò shēn tǐ ， yòu shì yī jiàn huī là xià qù 。
九婴可远比那厉鬼难以对付，林轩在离开的一瞬间，他刚刚所站立之处，就被灰白色的魔火侵蚀，林轩瞳孔做缩，脸上却无惊无喜，飒然转过身体，又是一剑挥落下去。
Legend had it that in the Netherworld, Jiuyin was Arūroh’s favorite divine pet. Each head possessed unique divine abilities.
zhè yī cì tā zhù rù le gèng duō de fǎ lì ， nà yín sè de jiàn qì ， bù zài xiàng gāng gāng yī yàng wú shēng wú xī ， ér shì yǒu ruò cháng hóng guàn rì ， zhǐ jiàn tiān kōng zhī zhōng yín guāng yào yǎn ， nà dào jiàn qì zhī shàng bù zhǐ yíng rào zhe wèi lán sè de shǎn diàn ， hái yǒu wú shù dòu dà de xíng wén liú lián ， gèng jiā kě pà de shì ， hòu miàn yǒu yī jù dà de tài jí tú àn ruò yǐn ruò xiàn …… jiàn wèi zhì ， yǐ mí màn chū yī zhǒng huǐ miè yī qiè de qì shì 。 sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì ， fǎng fú měi dōu bèi dí jìn le yī jiàn zhī wēi lǐ 。
这一次他注入了更多的法力，那银色的剑气，不再像刚刚一样无声无息，而是有若长虹贯日，只见天空之中银光耀眼，那道剑气之上不止萦绕着蔚蓝色的闪电，还有无数斗大的行文流连，更加可怕的是，后面有一巨大的太极图案若隐若现……剑未至，已弥漫出一种毁灭一切的气势。四周的天地元气，仿佛每都被敌进了一剑之威里。
It could swallow water and spew fire; others emitted ghostly mists that corroded bones, invisible sound waves that carved marks in space… All nine abilities converged to meet the cold sword aura.
yǎn qián suī rán bú shì zhēn zhèng de jiǔ yīng ， jǐn jǐn shì gǔ bǎi wàn nián qián liú zài zhè lǐ de yī lǚ cán hún ， dàn jiù shí lì lái shuō ， yī jiù kān bǐ lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě 。
眼前虽然不是真正的九婴，仅仅是牯百万年前留在这里的一缕残魂，但就实力来说，依旧堪比离合期修仙者。
A deafening explosion echoed, with multicolored light flaring between Lin Xuan and Jiuyin. As an advanced late-stage Immortal Core cultivator, Lin Xuan was formidable even in the human world, but the sheer force of their clash left him almost gasping for breath.
zhè zhǒng děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， lín xuān dǎ guò jiāo dào de bù duō ， zhēn zhèng jiào guò shǒu de ， gèng zhǐ yǒu huì tōng yí gè ， dàn jiǔ yīng fēn hún míng xiǎn yào nán chán dé duō 。
这种等级的老怪物，林轩打过交道的不多，真正教过手的，更只有慧通一个，但九婴分魂明显要难缠得多。
There were no means to escape; the area was under a ban on flying. The sound of cracking echoed as Lin Xuan’s feet sank into the hard stone, nearly reaching his knees. There was no retreat!
suī rán dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， zì jǐ shàng méi yǒu shén tōng jǐn chū ， dàn jīng guò yī fān nǐ lái wǒ wǎng de zhēng dòu yǐ hòu ， duì fāng shí lì rú hé ， lín xuān yǐ diān liáng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。 zhēn yào dǎ ， zì jǐ shèng suàn de jī lǜ shí zài bù dà ， wéi yī de xī wàng zhǐ yǒu nà tōng tiān líng bǎo a ！
虽然到目前为止，自己尚没有神通尽出，但经过一番你来我往的争斗以后，对方实力如何，林轩已掂量得清清楚楚。真要打，自己胜算的几率实在不大，唯一的希望只有那通天灵宝啊！
The sword aura and Jiuyin's divine abilities still clashed in mid-air. Lin Xuan’s right arm glowed with runes as he poured all his mana into the divine treasure.
suǒ yǐ zhè yī jiàn xià qù ， lín xuān méi yǒu rèn hé liú lì ， nà cuǐ càn de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú kě yǐ kāi tiān pī dì 。
所以这一剑下去，林轩没有任何留力，那璀璨的剑气，仿佛可以开天劈地。
Primordial energy from around them surged, visible as countless light points that entered his right arm. The Through Heaven Divine Treasure could absorb primordial energy, but compared to Jiuyin's fragmentary soul, it was like a small witch seeing a great one. Lin Xuan was only at an Immortal Core stage; he hadn’t yet reached the realm of Separation and Union.
rú cǐ dà wēi lì de jué shā ， jiǔ yīng zì rán bù kě néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， gǔ gāo gāo de yǎng qǐ le jiǔ kē tóu lú 。 hǒu ！ cóng jiǔ zhāng xuè pén dà kǒu zhōng ， fēn bié yǒu bù tóng de shēng yīn chū 。 yǒu de rú tóng yīng ér tí kū ， yǒu de rú tóng yuān hún qí hǒu ， hái yǒu hǔ xiào lóng yín ， shèn zhì shì kuáng fēng sì nüè de shēng yīn ……
如此大威力的绝杀，九婴自然不可能视若无睹，牯高高的仰起了九颗头颅。吼！从九张血盆大口中，分别有不同的声音出。有的如同婴儿啼哭，有的如同冤魂齐吼，还有虎啸龙吟，甚至是狂风肆虐的声音……
Jiuyin absorbed much faster than him, making this stalemate highly disadvantageous for Lin Xuan. He didn’t expect Jiuyin to even block his divine treasure’s power, which meant certain defeat in the end.
chuán shuō zài yōu míng dì fǔ zhī zhōng ， jiǔ yīng nǎi ā xiū luó wáng zuì xǐ huān de líng chǒng ， gǔ de měi yī kē tóu lú ， dōu yǒu zhe bù tóng de shén tōng 。
传说在幽冥地府之中，九婴乃阿修罗王最喜欢的灵宠，牯的每一颗头颅，都有着不同的神通。
Lin Xuan was anxious but had no plan. This damned ban on flying… If not for the strange items at Arūroh’s residence, he could have escaped by now.
tūn shuǐ tǔ huǒ ， hái yǒu de pēn chū kě yǐ ** shí gǔ de guǐ wù ， wú xíng de yīn bō ， néng gòu zài kōng jiān huà chū bái hén de fēng rèn ， bù yī ér zú …… jiǔ zhǒng shén tōng huì jí zài yì qǐ ， xiàng zhe nà lěng càn de jiàn qì yíng qù 。
吞水吐火，还有的喷出可以**蚀骨的鬼雾，无形的音波，能够在空间划出白痕的风刃，不一而足……九种神通汇集在一起，向着那冷璨的剑气迎去。
Lin Xuan's face turned extremely grim as this outcome far exceeded his expectations. There was no room for trickery; it was like a martial artist comparing inner strength—see who can last longer against the other. A clear winner and loser must be determined.
hōng de jù xiǎng chuán lái ， wǔ yán liù sè de guāng yùn zài yī rén yī shòu zhī jiān bào kāi ， lín xuān rú jīn jìn jià yuán yīng hòu qī ， zài rén jiè suī bù gǎn shuō zòng héng wú dí ， dàn jué duì yǐ shì dǐng ér jiān ér de xiū shì ， kě duì hōng suǒ chǎn shēng de páng dà líng yā ràng tā jī hū chuǎn bù guò qì 。
轰的巨响传来，五颜六色的光晕在一人一兽之间爆开，林轩如今进价元婴后期，在人界虽不敢说纵横无敌，但绝对已是顶儿尖儿的修士，可对轰所产生的庞大灵压让他几乎喘不过气。
In between them stood an eerie light ball, half silver and half black as night. Runes flashed on its surface, though those in the silver part were profound and majestic, clearly from a genuine Taoist supreme secret technique.
zhè lǐ yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì ， duǒ wú kě duǒ ， gē bēng gē bēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān jū rán jiāng jiǎo xià nà jiān yìng de yù shí tà pò ， shuāng jiǎo dōu yǐ xiàn le xià qù ， zhí méi zhì xī 。 kě méi yǒu tuì lù ！
这里有禁空禁制，躲无可躲，咯嘣咯嘣的声音传入耳朵，林轩居然将脚下那坚硬的玉石踏破，双脚都已陷了下去，直没至膝。可没有退路！
The black part’s runes seemed written with blood, each stroke dripping with it, filled with resentment.
jiàn qì yǔ jiǔ yīng de dà shén tōng hái zài bàn kōng zhōng jiāng chí ， lín xuān de yòu bì mèi ， máng shǎn shuò ， tā jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì háo bù lìn sè de zhù rù líng bǎo zhī zhōng 。
剑气与九婴的大神通还在半空中僵持，林轩的右臂媚，芒闪烁，他将浑身的法力毫不吝啬的注入灵宝之中。
Lin Xuan poured his mana into the divine treasure while thinking furiously about how to escape. Despite their different realms, Jiuyin could absorb primordial energy much faster. Even if he had plenty of spirit medicines and a storage talisman, they would eventually be exhausted.
sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì zǎo bèi yǐn dòng ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn nà xiē líng qì biàn wèi le yí gè gè dà xiǎo bù yī de guāng diǎn ， rú xuě huā yì bān mò rù lín xuān de yòu bì lǐ miàn 。
四周的天地元气早被引动，肉眼可见那些灵气变为了一个个大小不一的光点，如雪花一般没入林轩的右臂里面。
"Master, why don’t I help?"
tōng tiān líng bǎo kě yǐ xī nà tiān dì yuán qì ， kě yǔ lí hé qī de jiǔ yīng fēn hún xiāng bǐ ， bù guò shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū ér yǐ ， lín xuān bì jìng zhǐ shì yuán yīng qī ， rú jīn jiè zhù de shì líng bǎo zhī lì ， zhè yàng de jìng jiè tā hái méi yǒu chù jí 。
通天灵宝可以吸纳天地元气，可与离合期的九婴分魂相比，不过是小巫见大巫而已，林轩毕竟只是元婴期，如今借助的是灵宝之力，这样的境界他还没有触及。
Moon’s voice entered Lin Xuan's ears, but he shook his head. He needed external assistance, but the situation was too dangerous for Moon, who was only at the Condensation Core stage. Even if she touched any of Jiuyin’s divine abilities, it would be a fatal outcome.
jiǔ yīng xī shōu de dù míng xiǎn bǐ tā kuài dé duō ， zhè yàng de xiāng chí duì lín xuān lái shuō zì rán shì shí fēn bù lì 。 méi xiǎng dào duì fāng lián líng bǎo zhī wēi yě néng dǎng zhù ， tuō dào hòu miàn zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ luò bài yī tú 。
九婴吸收的度明显比他快得多，这样的相持对林轩来说自然是十分不利。没想到对方连灵宝之威也能挡住，拖到后面只有自己落败一途。
"Master, this can’t go on…" Moon was equally anxious. Xiao Tao had said that her palace had been destroyed by spirit realm cultivators, so why were there still so many restrictions and monsters lingering?
lín xuān xīn zhōng zháo jí ， kě piān piān yòu wú jì kě shī ， zhè kě hèn de jìn kōng jìn zhì ， ruò bú shì ā xiū luó bié fǔ yǒu nà me duō gǔ guài de dōng xī ， dǎ bù guò táo zǒng méi yǒu wèn tí 。
林轩心中着急，可偏偏又无计可施，这可恨的禁空禁制，若不是阿修罗别府有那么多古怪的东西，打不过逃总没有问题。
Lin Xuan didn't know what was going through Moon's mind. At this moment, he needed external help. While all his mana was used for the Through Heaven Divine Treasure, he could still summon the Corpse Spirit Bag.
lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn yǐ jí ， yǎn biàn chéng xiàn zài zhè zhǒng jié guǒ kě shì dà chū tā yuán xiān yù liào ， rú jīn yǐ wú fǎ qǔ qiǎo ， jiù yǒu diǎn xiàng shì sú wǔ zhě bǐ pīn nèi lì de qíng kuàng ， kàn shuí hào dé guò duì fāng ， bì xū fēn yí gè qiáng ruò cún wáng 。
林轩的脸色难看以极，演变成现在这种结果可是大出他原先预料，如今已无法取巧，就有点像世俗武者比拼内力的情况，看谁耗得过对方，必须分一个强弱存亡。
He hadn’t released the armadillo or the corpse spirit because they were too weak against Jiuyin. But now, with him involved, they could be used to deal a final blow. Perhaps this would be the straw that broke the camel’s back, giving him a chance to turn defeat into victory. With these thoughts, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and flicked his left hand, summoning two pouches.
cǐ shí zài liǎng rén de zhōng jiān ， shì yì zhí jìng zú yǒu shí yú zhàng dà de guǐ yì guāng qiú ， yí bàn yín sè ， yí bàn què qī hēi rú mò ， guāng qiú biǎo miàn ， gè yǒu wú shù shén mì yì cháng de fú wén shǎn xiàn 。
此时在两人的中间，是一直径足有十余丈大的诡异光球，一半银色，一半却漆黑如墨，光球表面，各有无数神秘异常的符文闪现。
The Corpse Spirit Aura and demonic wind exuded an Immortal Core Realm presence, but here they were just a small boat in the vast sea. The entire square was enveloped by their clash’s primordial energy.
zhǐ bù guò yín sè zhè biān ， fú wén suī shēn ào gǔ piáo ， dàn yě xiǎn de dà qì páng bó ， yī kàn jiù shì xuán mén zhèng zōng de wú shàng mì shù 。
只不过银色这边，符文虽深奥古朴，但也显得大气磅礴，一看就是玄门正宗的无上秘术。
Facing this monster, both the corpse spirit and armadillo showed fear on their faces, though one was a puppet and the other a fool. Their instincts sensed Jiuyin's power.
yǔ zhī xiāng fǎn ， hēi sè bù fèn de guāng qiú ， biǎo miàn suǒ fú xiàn chū lái de fú wén jiù xiàng shì yòng xiān xuè xiě chéng de yì bān ， fǎng fú měi yī bǐ yī huà dōu yào dī chū xiě lái ， yuàn qì chōng tiān 。
与之相反，黑色部分的光球，表面所浮现出来的符文就像是用鲜血写成的一般，仿佛每一笔一划都要滴出血来，怨气冲天。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s face darkened further as he issued commands through his spiritual sense. The armadillo and corpse spirit had been sealed with blood oaths. Under repeated urging from their master’s spells, their eyes turned red, exuding an aura of savagery. Roar!

林轩一边将法力注入灵宝，一边脑海中不停的转动着念头，苦思脱身之策，毕竟境界不同，对方从四周吸纳天地元气的度要快得多「就算自己随身带了大量灵药，以及可以迅补充法力的储灵带古宝，终究也耗不过对方。
The corpse spirit roared loudly, the sound echoing in Lin Xuan's ears as its fangs protruded, skin becoming increasingly dry and pale. A white sword appeared in the grayish-white mist before his eyes. To be continued...
Lin Xuan's combat experience was vast, and from the expression on Li Hai’s face, it wasn't hard to guess what he intended. His eyes narrowed slightly as a hint of anger flashed across his face. Destroying the green flame wouldn’t be that easy.
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, his face darkening. He flicked his left hand, and an ancient-looking short sword appeared out of thin air. It was no more than a foot long, its surface covered with cracks. This treasure turned out to be nothing but a defective item.
However, a powerful aura spread around him, enveloping the entire square. The ghostly figure above didn’t need mentioning; Jiuyin’s face finally showed a serious expression.
Even if this divine treasure was rare in the Upper Heavens, its power remained formidable even when broken. "Humph!"
With Lin Xuan's low voice, a green glow surrounded his body as he poured mana into it. Numerous runes, each about the size of a fist, appeared on the blade’s surface.
These runes were profound and ancient, vastly different from those in the human world. They spun and flickered, seemingly alive, drilling into Lin Xuan's body. A layer of silver light enveloped his hand, making the injection of mana smoother than before.
Unlike when he used this treasure previously, after advancing to a Great Immortal, Lin Xuan had unlocked the second level of the Through Treasure Art. Not only did its power increase significantly, but it consumed less mana compared to before.
In short, since his palm was now wrapped in silver scales, it seemed capable of absorbing surrounding primordial energy from the world. Such a divine ability should be within the realm of Separation and Union Realm cultivators, but with the aid of the Through Heaven Divine Treasure, he felt a taste of it early on.
Though still vague about specific details, such an early understanding of the next realm was highly beneficial for future breakthroughs. This could be considered a pleasant surprise.
With one successful strike, Lin Xuan didn’t linger in place but instead moved swiftly, deploying the Nine Heavens Step, appearing several dozen feet away.
Jiuyin was far more formidable than that ghostly figure. As he left, the area where he stood was immediately invaded by grayish-white demonic flames. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, his face showing no signs of surprise or alarm as he turned and struck again.
This time, he poured in even more mana. The silver sword aura wasn’t silent anymore; it seemed like a long rainbow piercing the sky. Blue lightning enveloped the sword’s edge, along with countless runes. More terrifyingly, a giant Taiji pattern could be vaguely seen behind it… Before the sword reached its target, it already exuded an overwhelming destructive force. The surrounding primordial energy of the world seemed to have been cut by each strike.
Although this Jiuyin was just a fragment of its essence from millions of years ago, its strength still rivaled that of Separation and Union Realm cultivators.
Lin Xuan had few encounters with such old monsters, and only Huìtōng had truly fought against one. However, Jiuyin’s fragmentary soul was much more troublesome.
Though he hadn’t yet unleashed all his divine abilities, after a series of exchanges, Lin Xuan could clearly gauge the other party's strength. The chances of winning were slim; the only hope lay in the Through Heaven Divine Treasure!
Thus, this strike left no room for holding back. The dazzling sword aura seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth.
Such an overwhelming final attack couldn’t be ignored by Jiuyin. It raised its nine heads high. Roar! Different sounds emerged from each of the blood-red mouths—some like infant cries, others like the collective wails of spirits, some like tiger roars or dragon’s breath, even the sound of fierce winds…
Legend had it that in the Netherworld, Jiuyin was Arūroh’s favorite divine pet. Each head possessed unique divine abilities.
It could swallow water and spew fire; others emitted ghostly mists that corroded bones, invisible sound waves that carved marks in space… All nine abilities converged to meet the cold sword aura.
A deafening explosion echoed, with multicolored light flaring between Lin Xuan and Jiuyin. As an advanced late-stage Immortal Core cultivator, Lin Xuan was formidable even in the human world, but the sheer force of their clash left him almost gasping for breath.
There were no means to escape; the area was under a ban on flying. The sound of cracking echoed as Lin Xuan’s feet sank into the hard stone, nearly reaching his knees. There was no retreat!
The sword aura and Jiuyin's divine abilities still clashed in mid-air. Lin Xuan’s right arm glowed with runes as he poured all his mana into the divine treasure.
Primordial energy from around them surged, visible as countless light points that entered his right arm. The Through Heaven Divine Treasure could absorb primordial energy, but compared to Jiuyin's fragmentary soul, it was like a small witch seeing a great one. Lin Xuan was only at an Immortal Core stage; he hadn’t yet reached the realm of Separation and Union.
Jiuyin absorbed much faster than him, making this stalemate highly disadvantageous for Lin Xuan. He didn’t expect Jiuyin to even block his divine treasure’s power, which meant certain defeat in the end.
Lin Xuan was anxious but had no plan. This damned ban on flying… If not for the strange items at Arūroh’s residence, he could have escaped by now.
Lin Xuan's face turned extremely grim as this outcome far exceeded his expectations. There was no room for trickery; it was like a martial artist comparing inner strength—see who can last longer against the other. A clear winner and loser must be determined.
In between them stood an eerie light ball, half silver and half black as night. Runes flashed on its surface, though those in the silver part were profound and majestic, clearly from a genuine Taoist supreme secret technique.
The black part’s runes seemed written with blood, each stroke dripping with it, filled with resentment.
Lin Xuan poured his mana into the divine treasure while thinking furiously about how to escape. Despite their different realms, Jiuyin could absorb primordial energy much faster. Even if he had plenty of spirit medicines and a storage talisman, they would eventually be exhausted.
"Master, why don’t I help?"
Moon’s voice entered Lin Xuan's ears, but he shook his head. He needed external assistance, but the situation was too dangerous for Moon, who was only at the Condensation Core stage. Even if she touched any of Jiuyin’s divine abilities, it would be a fatal outcome.
"Master, this can’t go on…" Moon was equally anxious. Xiao Tao had said that her palace had been destroyed by spirit realm cultivators, so why were there still so many restrictions and monsters lingering?
Lin Xuan didn't know what was going through Moon's mind. At this moment, he needed external help. While all his mana was used for the Through Heaven Divine Treasure, he could still summon the Corpse Spirit Bag.
He hadn’t released the armadillo or the corpse spirit because they were too weak against Jiuyin. But now, with him involved, they could be used to deal a final blow. Perhaps this would be the straw that broke the camel’s back, giving him a chance to turn defeat into victory. With these thoughts, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and flicked his left hand, summoning two pouches.
The Corpse Spirit Aura and demonic wind exuded an Immortal Core Realm presence, but here they were just a small boat in the vast sea. The entire square was enveloped by their clash’s primordial energy.
Facing this monster, both the corpse spirit and armadillo showed fear on their faces, though one was a puppet and the other a fool. Their instincts sensed Jiuyin's power.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan’s face darkened further as he issued commands through his spiritual sense. The armadillo and corpse spirit had been sealed with blood oaths. Under repeated urging from their master’s spells, their eyes turned red, exuding an aura of savagery. Roar!
