这次为了将修罗神血取到手，罗家可是精锐尽出，没想到居然损失了一小半的人手。众人的脸色，自然难看到了极处，不过阿修罗王的宫殿，总算历历在望了。罗家修士还来不及松一口气，又与九天玄尊迎面相遇。居然有人捷足先登来到这里。罗家老祖一呆，随后可怕的-彖气从身体里面释放出来。他有些艘1惑的打量起眼前的少年。
This time, the Luo Family had sent their elite forces to retrieve the Deva Blood. They hadn't expected to lose nearly half of their men in the process. The expressions on everyone's faces were naturally grim. However, the palace of the King of Avici was finally within sight.
jū rán shì yǔ tái jǐ tóng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér yún zhōu lí hé xiū shì zhōng zěn me cóng wèi méi yǒu tīng shuō yǒu zhè yàng yī wèi rén wù 。 suī rán shén shí bèi fēng jiàn ， dàn duì fāng yǒu méi yǒu biàn huàn róng mào tā zì xìn hái shì fēn biàn dé chū 。 zhè kě yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
居然是与台己同级的修仙者，然而云州离合修士中怎么从未没有听说有这样一位人物。虽然神识被封键，但对方有没有变幻容貌他自信还是分辨得出。这可有些奇怪了。
The Luo Family cultivators didn’t have time to relax as they encountered the Nine Heavens Profound Lord head-on. Someone had beaten them here first.
yào zhī dào yún zhōu suī shì xiū liàn shèng dì ， dàn lí hé xiū shì yě bù guò nà me liáo liáo jǐ wèi ér yǐ ， nán dào shì kǔ xiū shì ， huò zhě gāng gāng jìn jí ？
要知道云州虽是修炼圣地，但离合修士也不过那么寥寥几位而已，难道是苦修士，或者刚刚晋级？
The head ancestor of the Luo Family was taken aback. A terrifying aura emanated from his body. He sized up the young man before him with some confusion.
zhū bān niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò ， bù guò tā yě méi yǒu xīn qíng fēn biàn shén me ， duì fāng lái dào cǐ chù ， bú yòng shuō yě shì wèi le zhēng duó ā xiū luó wáng zūn bǎo 。 jì rán huái yǒu tóng yàng de mù dì ， nà shuāng fāng jiù shì bù gòng dài tiān de sǐ dí 。
诸般念头在脑海中闪过，不过他也没有心情分辨什么，对方来到此处，不用说也是为了争夺阿修罗王遵宝。既然怀有同样的目的，那双方就是不共戴天的死敌。
It turned out to be a cultivator at the same level as himself, but there hadn’t been any mention of such a figure in the Cloud Province’s Separation and Union practitioners. Although his divine sense was sealed, he was confident that he could still recognize whether someone had changed their appearance or not. This was somewhat strange.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā háo bù yóu yù de yì diǎn zhǐ ， sōu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng bǐng shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fēi shè dào shēn pīn le 。 zhǎng gē biǎo miàn ， dài yǒu hēi sè de diàn hú ， háo bù yóu yù de xiàng duì fāng zhǎn luò 。“ dòng shǒu ， yì qǐ jiāng tā miè le ！” luó jiā lǎo zǔ qiān le qiān zuǐ jiǎo ， mǎn liǎn de yīn hěn zhī
想到这里，他毫不犹豫的一点指，嗖的声音传入耳朵，两柄式样古朴的长戈飞射到身拼了。长戈表面，带有黑色的电弧，毫不犹豫的像对方斩落。“动手，一起将他灭了！”罗家老祖牵了牵嘴角，满脸的阴狠之
After all, though the Cloud Province was a holy land for cultivation, only a few Separation and Union cultivators existed. Could it be an ascetic practitioner or one who had just advanced?
tīng le lǎo zǔ zōng de fēn fù ， qí yú de luó jiā xiū shì nǎ lǐ hái huì yóu yù ， fēn fēn gè zhǎn shén tōng ， jì chū zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù 。 zhǐ jiàn guāng máng shǎn shuò ， fēi jiàn ， jīn shū ， dà dāo ， kuò fǔ ， gè zhǒng xī qí gǔ guài de bīng rèn
听了老祖宗的吩咐，其余的罗家修士哪里还会犹豫，纷纷各展神通，祭出自己的本命宝物。只见光芒闪烁，飞剑，金书，大刀，阔斧，各种稀奇古怪的兵刃
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn’t have the time to discern them. Since both sides were here, they would inevitably clash. Originally, he wanted to use the禁制to eliminate these outsiders one by one, but fate was against him as the array was disrupted by the Nine-headed Naga.
bù guò shí yú rén zhī duō ， rán ér zhè lián shǒu de shēng shì què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bì jìng zuì ruò de yě shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě 。 chú le luó jiā lǎo zǔ ， xuè luó tóng zi yǔ luó zi cōng de chū shǒu ， yóu yǒu bù fán zhī chù 。
不过十余人之多，然而这联手的声势却非同小可，毕竟最弱的也是元婴期修仙者。除了罗家老祖，血罗童子与罗子聪的出手，尤有不凡之处。
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s frustration was evident. Reluctantly, he had to settle for a secondary plan: take over another body, recover his strength, and then cleverly set up a trap so that these outsiders would turn on each other, allowing him to reap the benefits.
yào zhī dào yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， fàng dào wài miàn ， kě shì yī fāng bà zhǔ ， àn zhào lǎo zǔ zōng suǒ shuō ， zhǐ yào zì jǐ lì xià de gōng láo zú gòu ， jiù kě yǐ jiāng xiē xǔ xiū luó shén xuè róng rù shēn tǐ zhī zhōng ， nà jìn jiē lí hé yě bù zài shì mèng 。
要知道元婴后期的大修仙者，放到外面，可是一方霸主，按照老祖宗所说，只要自己立下的功劳足够，就可以将些许修罗神血融入身体之中，那进阶离合也不再是梦。
Utilizing his familiarity with the environment, he designed some minor禁制. He originally had a 70% chance of succeeding, but after all his efforts, it ended in a half-baked outcome due to his overconfidence and failure to properly use his treasure.
zhǐ jiàn xuè luó tóng zi shēn chū bái jí bān de gē bó ， shí fēn chún zhēn de xiào zhe ， rán ér tā de shēn qián ， què chū xiàn le jǐ gè jù dà de kū lóu tóu ， měi yí gè zhí jìng dōu yǒu zhàng xǔ zuǒ yòu ， bù zhǐ shì yǎn tóng ， zhěng gè kū lóu ， dōu zuò xuè hóng zhī sè ， fǎng fú cháng nián zài shī shān xuè hǎi zhōng pào zhe 。
只见血罗童子伸出白藉般的胳膊，十分纯真的笑着，然而他的身前，却出现了几个巨大的骷髅头，每一个直径都有丈许左右，不止是眼瞳，整个骷髅，都做血红之色，仿佛常年在尸山血海中泡着。
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s anger was palpable as he didn’t have any choice but to use the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield. If Lin Xuan were here, he would recognize this technique immediately; it was one of his favorites. However, since the Nine Heavens Profound Lord had advanced to the Separation and Union realm, he knew this technique even better than Lin Xuan.
hǒu ！
吼！
The Nine Heavens Spirit Shield appeared thin but smooth like a layer of oil. Regardless of the attacks from the other元婴cultivators, the Nine Heavens Profound Lord simply summoned a staff and transformed it into a fire dragon to meet Luo Family’s head ancestor's long spear. Boom!
nà xiē kū lóu chū qī lì de cǎn jiào ， zuǐ bā lǐ gèng shì gē bēng gē bēng de bù tíng luàn jué ， lì qì chōng tiān de pū xiàng le duì shǒu 。
那些骷髅出凄厉的惨叫，嘴巴里更是咯嘣咯嘣的不停乱嚼，戾气冲天的扑向了对手。
The clash echoed in their ears as the three treasures chased each other mid-air. In terms of strength, the Nine Heavens Profound Lord was clearly superior. After all, he had been an emperor in ancient times, and his own creation gave him a significant advantage over Luo Family’s head ancestor. However, with one against many, and his treasures not cooperating, this first round ended in a stalemate.
xī luó zi cōng de bǎo wù méi yǒu nà me zhú mù ， jǐn jǐn shì yī qīng juǎn dān shū ， guāng máng shǎn shuò ， shū juàn biǎo miàn bèi wú shù fú wén bāo guǒ ， shì huǎn shí jí ， cóng tóu dǐng xiàng dí rén yā le xià qù 。
西罗子聪的宝物没有那么烛目，仅仅是一青卷丹书，光芒闪烁，书卷表面被无数符文包裹，似缓实急，从头顶像敌人压了下去。
The Luo Family cultivators' treasures began to glow brightly as they struck the opponent.
zhè tū rán de zāo yù ， ràng jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yù mèn wú bǐ ， tā wéi zài zhè lǐ ， yǐ yǒu bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， zǎo jiāng ā xiū luó gōng de yī cǎo yī mù ， quán dōu shì zuò le zì jǐ de náng zhōng zhī wù 。 yǎn jiàn jìn zhì jiù yào jiě chú ， xiū luó shén xuè qǐ róng bié rén qī zhǐ de 。
这突然的遭遇，让九天玄尊郁闷无比，他围在这里，已有百万年之久，早将阿修罗宫的一草一木，全都视作了自己的囊中之物。眼见禁制就要解除，修罗神血岂容别人柒指的。
Surprisingly, the opponent didn’t dodge; instead, the Luo Family cultivators were taken aback by their shock.
rán ér nà xiē wài lái de xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì zhe shí bù ruò ， lǐ miàn jū rán yǒu liǎng míng lí hé jí bié de gāo shǒu ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn suī zì shì bù ruò ， què yě bù yuàn shǎ shǎ de yǔ tā men dāng miàn chōng tū 。 nà duì zì jǐ méi yǒu hǎo chù ！
然而那些外来的修仙者，实力着实不弱，里面居然有两名离合级别的高手，九天玄尊虽自视不弱，却也不愿傻傻的与他们当面冲突。那对自己没有好处！
However, quickly turning to joy, they had seen clearly that the opponent hadn't used any defensive treasure. He had merely hastily activated his protective barrier.
yuán běn xiǎng jiè jìn zhì zhī lì ， jiāng zhè xiē wài lái zhě zhú yī jiǎn chú ， nǎ zhī dào rén suàn bù rú tiān suàn ， cāo kòng de zhèn fǎ bèi jiǔ yīng gěi shuāng diào le 。
原本想借禁制之力，将这些外来者逐一剪除，哪知道人算不如天算，操控的阵法被九婴给双掉了。
Although the Spirit Shield was a practical technique and one of the most basic in the Five Elements School, even a灵动初期cultivator could learn it. Its advantage lay in its quick activation but lacked significant defense.
jiǔ tiān xuán zūn de yù mèn kě xiǎng ér zhī ， wú nài zhī xià ， tā zhǐ hǎo tuì ér qiú qí cì ， xiān duó shě yī rén de shēn tǐ ， jǐn liàng huī fù shí lì ， rán hòu zài qiǎo miào bù jú ， ràng zhè xiē wài lái zhě zì xiāng cán shā ， zì jǐ zuò shōu yú rén zhī lì 。
九天玄尊的郁闷可想而知，无奈之下，他只好退而求其次，先夺舍一人的身体，尽量恢复实力，然后再巧妙布局，让这些外来者自相残杀，自己坐收渔人之利。
The Luo Family cultivators’ confusion was understandable; the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and the Spirit Shield were entirely different, yet their surfaces appeared almost identical, making them easy to confuse.
lì yòng duì huán jìng de shú xī ， zài shè jì yī xiē xiǎo jìn zhì ， yuán běn tā yǒu qī chéng de bǎ wò zuò chéng zhè jiàn shì ， nǎ zhī dào yī fān xīn kǔ ， zuì hòu què chéng le hǔ tóu shé wěi de jié jú 。 dōu fēng zì jǐ tài dé yì wàng xíng le xiē ， yīn wèi duó shě shùn lì ， ér fàn xià zhè yàng de guò shī 。
利用对环境的熟悉，再设计一些小禁制，原本他有七成的把握做成这件事，哪知道一番辛苦，最后却成了虎头蛇尾的结局。都锋自己太得意忘形了些，因为夺舍顺利，而犯下这样的过失。
Despite being at the Separation and Union realm, the opponent only used such a weak defensive technique. How could he possibly defend against so many attacks? Even if he couldn’t kill him, he could severely injure him...
xīn zhōng jīng nù ， bù guò hòu huǐ yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， tā suī rán duó shě chéng gōng ， dàn yě méi yǒu hé shǒu de bǎo wù ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán zǎo zài bǎi wàn nián qián jiù yǐ suì liè diào le 。
心中惊怒，不过后悔也没有用途，他虽然夺舍成功，但也没有合手的宝物，九天明月环早在百万年前就已碎裂掉了。
However, before this thought was fully formed, the Luo Family cultivators noticed something amiss. Except for two powerful treasures, all other long spears and swords slid off the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s surface.
zhè yě shì tā xiǎng yào duó shě lín xuān de yuán yīn zhī yī ， yīn wèi gōng fǎ yī mài xiāng chéng de yuán gù ， lín xuān de běn mìng fǎ bǎo tā yòng qǐ lái huì gèng jiā de dé xīn yìng shǒu 。
这也是他想要夺舍林轩的原因之一，因为功法一脉相承的缘故，林轩的本命法宝他用起来会更加的得心应手。
The barrier seemed to be coated with butter; the power of any attack on it was only a fraction of its usual strength. Such a technique wasn’t something Lin Xuan could use either; he had only gradually discovered this after advancing to the Separation and Union realm.
kōng míng shēn wèi yuán yīng qī dǐng fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， chǔ wù dài zhōng de fǎ bǎo zì rán yě yǒu shù jiàn zhī duō ， kě bú shì mù yú jiù shì chán zhàng ， zhè yàng de fó mén zhī bǎo tā cóng wèi jiē xiè ， yòng qǐ lái gǎn jué wú bǐ biè niǔ 。
空明身为元婴期顶峰的修仙者，储物袋中的法宝自然也有数件之多，可不是木鱼就是禅杖，这样的佛门之宝他从未接绁，用起来感觉无比别扭。
After being reinforced, the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s defensive capabilities were formidable, far surpassing ordinary top-tier treasures.
dàn xiàn zài méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yī shēng dà hē ， zhǐ jiàn qīng guāng yī shǎn ， yī céng guāng mù yǐ chū xiàn zài le tā de miàn qián 。
但现在没有选择，九天玄尊一声大喝，只见青光一闪，一层光幕已出现在了他的面前。
Of course, not all attacks could be immune in such a clever way. The Deva Child's skull rushed forward, first spraying pink fog from its loud cry.
rú guǒ lín xuān zài cǐ ， huì jué de wú bǐ shú xī ， zhè jiǔ tiān líng dùn ， zhèng shì tā zuì xǐ huān de zhāo shù zhī yī ， bù guò jiǔ tiān xuán zūn yǐ jìn jiē lí hé ， zuò wèi zhè tào gōng fǎ de chuàng zào zhě ， gèng bǐ lín xuān yào shú xī dé duō ， jī hū yǐ dào le hún rán tiān chéng de dì bù 。
如果林轩在此，会觉得无比熟悉，这九天灵盾，正是他最喜欢的招数之一，不过九天玄尊已进阶离合，做为这套功法的创造者，更比林轩要熟悉得多，几乎已到了浑然天成的地步。
These were highly toxic!
jiǔ tiān líng dùn kàn qǐ lái hěn báo ， biǎo miàn gèng guāng huá dé xiàng tú le yī céng yóu shì de ， duì yú zhòng yuán yīng qī xiū shì de zhāo shù ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn bù guǎn bù gù ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng yī bǐng chán zhàng jì chū ， gé kōng huà wèi yī dào huǒ lóng ， yíng xiàng le luó jiā lǎo zǔ de zhǎng gē 。 pēng ！
九天灵盾看起来很薄，表面更光滑得像涂了一层油似的，对于众元婴期修士的招数，九天玄尊不管不顾，仅仅是将一柄禅杖祭出，隔空化为一道火龙，迎向了罗家老祖的长戈。嘭！
However, it was ineffective; the toxins couldn’t penetrate the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s barrier. The Deva Child raised his eyebrows and revealed a fierce expression on his innocent face. With both hands, he cast an odd诀into the center of one of the skulls. Red light flashed as it entered the skull's forehead.
duì hàn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， sān bǎo zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng zhuī bī ， jiù shí lì lái shuō ， jiǔ tiān xuán zūn míng xiǎn yào shèng shàng yī chóu ， bì jìng zài shàng gǔ shí hòu ， tā jiù shì yí dài xiāo xióng ， ér qiě shì zì chuàng gōng fǎ de nà zhǒng ， dān dǎ dú dòu ， luó jiā lǎo zǔ jué bú shì duì shǒu ， kě xī xiàn zài yǐ yī dí zhòng ， bǎo wù yòu bù shùn shǒu ， zhè dì yī huí hé jiāo shǒu ， shuāng fāng dào pīn le gè bàn jīn bā liǎng le 。
对撼声传入耳朵，三宝在半空中互相追逼，就实力来说，九天玄尊明显要胜上一筹，毕竟在上古时候，他就是一代枭雄，而且是自创功法的那种，单打独斗，罗家老祖绝不是对手，可惜现在以一敌众，宝物又不顺手，这第一回合交手，双方倒拼了个半斤八两了。
The monster seemed to be stimulated, letting out a roar before its grayish-white glow suddenly increased in size. Its mouth opened wide and bit down, swallowing the smaller skull on its left side.
ér xià yī kè ， luó jiā zhòng xiū shì de bǎo wù guāng máng dà zuò ， yǐ hōng zài duì shǒu shēn shàng le 。
而下一刻，罗家众修士的宝物光芒大做，已轰在对手身上了。
This unexpected change stunned even Luo Family’s cultivators.
duì fāng jū rán méi duǒ ， luó jiā zhòng xiū yī dāi ， kàng bù lù chū è rán wàn fēn de biǎo qíng lái 。
对方居然没躲，罗家众修一呆，亢不露出愕然万分的表情来。
Although the cultivation world had many bizarre techniques, this was too exaggerated.
bù guò hěn kuài ， yòu zhuǎn biàn wèi kuáng xǐ ， gāng cái tā men kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， duì fāng gēn běn jiù méi yǒu jì chū fáng yù de bǎo wù ， bù guò shì huāng huāng zhāng zhāng de dǎ kāi hù zhào bà le 。
不过很快，又转变为狂喜，刚才他们看得清清楚楚，对方根本就没有祭出防御的宝物，不过是慌慌张张的打开护罩罢了。
Speaking of the Deva Child, he was also a special existence within the Luo Family, with a completely different set of cultivation techniques. His cruelty and wickedness made him an unpopular figure among the Luo Family’s cultivators. The giantized skull wasn’t satisfied; it turned its body and swallowed the other skull on its right side as well. Then, it began to gnaw at them.
ér líng lì hù dùn suī rán shì hěn shí yòng de zhāo shù ， dàn yě shì wǔ xíng fǎ shù zhōng zuì wèi jī chǔ de yī zhǒng ， shèn zhì lián líng dòng chū qī de xiū shì jiù kě xué xí ， tè diǎn shì kāi qǐ xùn ， rán ér fáng yù lì què bù zhí yī tí 。
而灵力护盾虽然是很实用的招数，但也是五行法术中最为基础的一种，甚至连灵动初期的修士就可学习，特点是开启迅，然而防御力却不值一提。
"Hahaha..."
yě nán guài luó jiā zhòng xiū nòng cuò ， jiǔ tiān líng dùn yǔ líng lì hù dùn wán quán bù tóng ， rán ér cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， què hěn nán zhǎo chū gǔ men chā yì zhī chù ， jī hū shì yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù huì nòng hùn le 。
也难怪罗家众修弄错，九天灵盾与灵力护盾完全不同，然而从表面上看，却很难找出牯们差异之处，几乎是一不小心就会弄混了。
The Deva Child opened his mouth and shot out a sharp beam of light that circled around his left hand, cutting off two thumbs. The beam exploded into blood mist, which seemed alive as it flew toward the skull.
duì fāng suī shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， dàn jǐn jǐn shǐ yòng líng lì hù dùn zhè yàng de lā jī fáng yù zhāo shù ， zěn me kě néng tóng shí dǎng zhù zhè me duō rén lián shǒu 。 jiù suàn shā bù liǎo duì fāng ， yě néng jiāng qí zhòng chuāng ……
对方虽是离合期修仙者，但仅仅使用灵力护盾这样的垃圾防御招数，怎么可能同时挡住这么多人联手。就算杀不了对方，也能将其重创……
The skull was delighted and swallowed it without hesitation. A grayish-white glow enveloped its body, and continuous cracking sounds echoed inside.
rán ér zhè ge niàn $！ shàng wèi zhuǎn wán ， luó jiā zhòng xiū jiù chá jué chū bú duì le ， chú le liǎng míng dà xiū shì de bǎo wù ， qí yú de fēi jiàn zhǎng gē ， gāng gāng jiē chù dào jiǔ tiān líng dùn biǎo miàn ， jiù wú yī lì wài de huá luò kāi 。
然而这个念$！尚未转完，罗家众修就察觉出不对了，除了两名大修士的宝物，其余的飞剑长戈，刚刚接触到九天灵盾表面，就无一例外的滑落开。
This process, though complex when described, took only a moment to complete. As the grayish-white glow dissipated, the skull before them had changed significantly. It no longer just had one head but now possessed a complete skeleton.
gēn běn shǐ bù shàng lì ， nà hù zhào biǎo miàn ， jiù xiàng mǒ le yī céng niú yóu ， bǎo wù kǎn dào shàng miàn de wēi lì ， bù zú píng shí de shí fēn zhī yī 。 zhè yàng de shén tōng ， lín xuān yě bú huì ， nǎi shì jiǔ tiān xuán zūn jìn jiē lí hé yǐ hòu ， cái màn màn tǐ huì chū lái 。
根本使不上力，那护罩表面，就像抹了一层牛油，宝物砍到上面的威力，不足平时的十分之一。这样的神通，林轩也不会，乃是九天玄尊进阶离合以后，才慢慢体会出来。
Unlike the earlier blood-red and violent appearance, using such an eerie technique, the skeleton was completely free of any violence, its surface as white as jade, looking neither terrifying nor frightening, almost like an artwork.
jīng guò jiā qiáng hòu de jiǔ tiān líng dùn ， fáng yù lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǐ yuǎn zài yì bān de dǐng jiē fǎ bǎo zhī shàng le 。
经过加强后的九天灵盾，防御力非同小可，已远在一般的顶阶法宝之上了。
The skull then extended its hands, reached into its waist, and pulled out two ribs. With a flash of light, it transformed them into two short swords about a foot long. Unremarkable, but with both hands clasped together, it fiercely slashed down.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì suǒ yǒu de gōng jī dōu néng yòng zhè yàng qǔ qiǎo de fāng fǎ miǎn yì ， xuè luó tóng zi de kū lóu tóu shā dào jìn qián ， xiān shì cóng dà hē zhōng pēn chū fěn hóng sè de mí wù 。
当然，也不是所有的攻击都能用这样取巧的方法免疫，血罗童子的骷髅头杀到近前，先是从大喝中喷出粉红色的迷雾。
This didn’t seem like a powerful technique, yet the astonishingly defensive Nine Heavens Spirit Shield produced a series of cracking sounds.
zhè xiē dōu shì jù dú ！
这些都是剧毒！
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s expression changed; this move seemed familiar.
rán ér méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dú sù yě chuān bù guò jiǔ tiān líng dùn suǒ huà guāng mù ， xuè luó tóng zi méi shāo yī tiāo ， chún zhēn de qiào liǎn shàng lù chū le hěn lì zhī sè 。 shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào gǔ guài de gū jué dǎ chū 。 hóng guāng shǎn shuò ， zhí jiē mò rù le zhōng jiān kū lóu de méi xīn zhī zhōng 。 hǒu ！
然而没有效果，毒素也穿不过九天灵盾所化光幕，血罗童子眉梢一挑，纯真的俏脸上露出了狠厉之色。双手一握，一道古怪的沽诀打出。红光闪烁，直接没入了中间骷髅的眉心之中。吼！
However, he had no time to ponder further. If they were fighting alone, an ordinary late-stage元婴cultivator couldn’t break through his defense. But now, most of his energy was focused on clashing with Luo Family’s head ancestor, giving the young man a chance.
nà guài wù fǎng fú shòu dào le cì jī ， yǎng tiān cháng xiào ， suí hòu zài huī bái sè de guāng yùn zhōng ， gǔ tǐ xíng jū rán bào zhǎng le bù shǎo ， dà dí zhāng kāi ， yī pū yī yǎo ， jiāng zuǒ cè nà shāo xiǎo xiē de kū lóu tóu gěi tūn le jìn qù 。
那怪物仿佛受到了刺激，仰天长啸，随后在灰白色的光晕中，牯体型居然暴涨了不少，大嘀张开，一扑一咬，将左侧那稍小些的骷髅头给吞了进去。
With so many opponents, brute force wasn’t a wise choice. A fierce look flashed in the Nine Heavens Profound Lord's eyes as he sidestepped to the left. He wanted to use the Nine Steps of the Phoenix.
zhè yàng de biàn gù ， biàn shì luó jiā de xiū xiān zhě ， yě wú bù lù chū hài rán zhī sè 。
这样的变故，便是罗家的修仙者，也无不露出骇然之色。
To be honest, this technique was inferior to instantaneous teleportation. Lin Xuan’s Nine Steps of the Phoenix had been enhanced by the Dance of the Phoenix Nine Skies Technique, but the Nine Heavens Profound Lord wasn’t as well-versed in cultivation techniques as Lin Xuan. However, being a Separation and Union cultivator, this secret technique was far more refined than Lin Xuan’s.
suī rán xiū xiān jiè guǐ yì de mì shù hěn duō ， dàn zhè yě tài kuā zhāng le 。
虽然修仙界诡异的秘术很多，但这也太夸张了。

This time, the Luo Family had sent their elite forces to retrieve the Deva Blood. They hadn't expected to lose nearly half of their men in the process. The expressions on everyone's faces were naturally grim. However, the palace of the King of Avici was finally within sight.
The Luo Family cultivators didn’t have time to relax as they encountered the Nine Heavens Profound Lord head-on. Someone had beaten them here first.
The head ancestor of the Luo Family was taken aback. A terrifying aura emanated from his body. He sized up the young man before him with some confusion.
It turned out to be a cultivator at the same level as himself, but there hadn’t been any mention of such a figure in the Cloud Province’s Separation and Union practitioners. Although his divine sense was sealed, he was confident that he could still recognize whether someone had changed their appearance or not. This was somewhat strange.
After all, though the Cloud Province was a holy land for cultivation, only a few Separation and Union cultivators existed. Could it be an ascetic practitioner or one who had just advanced?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn’t have the time to discern them. Since both sides were here, they would inevitably clash. Originally, he wanted to use the禁制to eliminate these outsiders one by one, but fate was against him as the array was disrupted by the Nine-headed Naga.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s frustration was evident. Reluctantly, he had to settle for a secondary plan: take over another body, recover his strength, and then cleverly set up a trap so that these outsiders would turn on each other, allowing him to reap the benefits.
Utilizing his familiarity with the environment, he designed some minor禁制. He originally had a 70% chance of succeeding, but after all his efforts, it ended in a half-baked outcome due to his overconfidence and failure to properly use his treasure.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s anger was palpable as he didn’t have any choice but to use the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield. If Lin Xuan were here, he would recognize this technique immediately; it was one of his favorites. However, since the Nine Heavens Profound Lord had advanced to the Separation and Union realm, he knew this technique even better than Lin Xuan.
The Nine Heavens Spirit Shield appeared thin but smooth like a layer of oil. Regardless of the attacks from the other元婴cultivators, the Nine Heavens Profound Lord simply summoned a staff and transformed it into a fire dragon to meet Luo Family’s head ancestor's long spear. Boom!
The clash echoed in their ears as the three treasures chased each other mid-air. In terms of strength, the Nine Heavens Profound Lord was clearly superior. After all, he had been an emperor in ancient times, and his own creation gave him a significant advantage over Luo Family’s head ancestor. However, with one against many, and his treasures not cooperating, this first round ended in a stalemate.
The Luo Family cultivators' treasures began to glow brightly as they struck the opponent.
Surprisingly, the opponent didn’t dodge; instead, the Luo Family cultivators were taken aback by their shock.
However, quickly turning to joy, they had seen clearly that the opponent hadn't used any defensive treasure. He had merely hastily activated his protective barrier.
Although the Spirit Shield was a practical technique and one of the most basic in the Five Elements School, even a灵动初期cultivator could learn it. Its advantage lay in its quick activation but lacked significant defense.
The Luo Family cultivators’ confusion was understandable; the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield and the Spirit Shield were entirely different, yet their surfaces appeared almost identical, making them easy to confuse.
Despite being at the Separation and Union realm, the opponent only used such a weak defensive technique. How could he possibly defend against so many attacks? Even if he couldn’t kill him, he could severely injure him...
However, before this thought was fully formed, the Luo Family cultivators noticed something amiss. Except for two powerful treasures, all other long spears and swords slid off the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s surface.
The barrier seemed to be coated with butter; the power of any attack on it was only a fraction of its usual strength. Such a technique wasn’t something Lin Xuan could use either; he had only gradually discovered this after advancing to the Separation and Union realm.
After being reinforced, the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s defensive capabilities were formidable, far surpassing ordinary top-tier treasures.
Of course, not all attacks could be immune in such a clever way. The Deva Child's skull rushed forward, first spraying pink fog from its loud cry.
These were highly toxic!
However, it was ineffective; the toxins couldn’t penetrate the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield’s barrier. The Deva Child raised his eyebrows and revealed a fierce expression on his innocent face. With both hands, he cast an odd诀into the center of one of the skulls. Red light flashed as it entered the skull's forehead.
The monster seemed to be stimulated, letting out a roar before its grayish-white glow suddenly increased in size. Its mouth opened wide and bit down, swallowing the smaller skull on its left side.
This unexpected change stunned even Luo Family’s cultivators.
Although the cultivation world had many bizarre techniques, this was too exaggerated.
Speaking of the Deva Child, he was also a special existence within the Luo Family, with a completely different set of cultivation techniques. His cruelty and wickedness made him an unpopular figure among the Luo Family’s cultivators. The giantized skull wasn’t satisfied; it turned its body and swallowed the other skull on its right side as well. Then, it began to gnaw at them.
"Hahaha..."
The Deva Child opened his mouth and shot out a sharp beam of light that circled around his left hand, cutting off two thumbs. The beam exploded into blood mist, which seemed alive as it flew toward the skull.
The skull was delighted and swallowed it without hesitation. A grayish-white glow enveloped its body, and continuous cracking sounds echoed inside.
This process, though complex when described, took only a moment to complete. As the grayish-white glow dissipated, the skull before them had changed significantly. It no longer just had one head but now possessed a complete skeleton.
Unlike the earlier blood-red and violent appearance, using such an eerie technique, the skeleton was completely free of any violence, its surface as white as jade, looking neither terrifying nor frightening, almost like an artwork.
The skull then extended its hands, reached into its waist, and pulled out two ribs. With a flash of light, it transformed them into two short swords about a foot long. Unremarkable, but with both hands clasped together, it fiercely slashed down.
This didn’t seem like a powerful technique, yet the astonishingly defensive Nine Heavens Spirit Shield produced a series of cracking sounds.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lord’s expression changed; this move seemed familiar.
However, he had no time to ponder further. If they were fighting alone, an ordinary late-stage元婴cultivator couldn’t break through his defense. But now, most of his energy was focused on clashing with Luo Family’s head ancestor, giving the young man a chance.
With so many opponents, brute force wasn’t a wise choice. A fierce look flashed in the Nine Heavens Profound Lord's eyes as he sidestepped to the left. He wanted to use the Nine Steps of the Phoenix.
To be honest, this technique was inferior to instantaneous teleportation. Lin Xuan’s Nine Steps of the Phoenix had been enhanced by the Dance of the Phoenix Nine Skies Technique, but the Nine Heavens Profound Lord wasn’t as well-versed in cultivation techniques as Lin Xuan. However, being a Separation and Union cultivator, this secret technique was far more refined than Lin Xuan’s.
