qì làng juǎn guò ， fù jìn suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， jiē huà wèi le xū wú 。
气浪卷过，附近所有的一切，皆化为了虚无。
The air surged, and everything within the vicinity was reduced to nothingness.
wéi yǒu yī piàn shù mǔ dà xiǎo de xuè hǎi ， chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng ， nóng kuàng chóu rú mò ， hái zài bù tíng de fān yǒng ， xuè kuàng xīng zhī qì fēng yōng ér chū ， zhōng rén yù ǒu 。
唯有一片数亩大小的血海，出现在视线中，浓卝稠如墨，还在不停的翻涌，血卝腥之气蜂拥而出，中人欲呕。
A vast blood sea of several acres appeared in their line of sight, thick as ink and continuously surging. The stench of blood permeated the air, making one feel nauseous.
wǔ rén miàn miàn xiāng qù ， biǎo qíng yán sù yǐ jí 。
五人面面相觑，表情严肃以极。
Five people exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
xiǎn rán ， zhè cì zhāo rě le yī bù dé le de dà dí 。
显然，这次招惹了一不得了的大敌。
Clearly, they had provoked a formidable enemy.
bù guò ， kāi gōng méi yǒu huí tóu jiàn ， shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， nǎ hái yǒu huí xuán de yú dì 。
不过，开弓没有回头箭，事已至此，哪还有回旋的余地。
However, once an arrow was shot, there was no turning back. With the situation as it stood, there was no room for hesitation.
zhòng rén méi yǒu mào rán gōng jī ， xiān kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài jué dìng xíng zhǐ 。
众人没有贸然攻击，先看看情况再决定行止。
The group did not rashly attack but first observed the scene before deciding on their course of action.
cóng nà xuè hǎi zhī zhōng ， tū rán chuán lái tòng chǔ de dà hǒu ， suí hòu yī dào jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ， xuè hǎi yǐ ròu kuàng yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù kāi shǐ shōu suō ， màn màn lù kuàng chū le yǐn cáng zài qí zhōng de guài wù 。
从那血海之中，突然传来痛楚的大吼，随后一道飓风凭空而起，血海以肉卝眼可见的速度开始收缩，慢慢露卝出了隐藏在其中的怪物。
Suddenly, from within the blood sea, came a painful roar of agony. A hurricane appeared out of nowhere, and the blood sea visibly shrank, revealing the monster hidden within.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
"What is this...?"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， jí biàn yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě zài wú fǎ wéi chí dàn dìng de biǎo qíng le ， zhì yú qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè èr gè ， yě wú bù lù kuàng chū jīng kǒng zhī sè 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，即便以他的城府，此时此刻，也再无法维持淡定的表情了，至于其他的修仙者，一个二个，也无不露卝出惊恐之色。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Even with his composure, he could no longer maintain a calm expression at that moment. The other cultivators also showed signs of fear on their faces.
yǎn qián de ， jiū jìng shì rén hái shì mó wù ？
眼前的，究竟是人还是魔物？
Was what they were facing human or a demon?
shēn gāo chāo guò le sān mǐ ， jū rán zhǎng yǒu wǔ gè tóu lú ， yī dà sì xiǎo ， shēn kuàng tǐ zuò xuè hóng zhī sè ， qīng jīn bào kuàng lù ， gěi rén de gǎn jué fǎng fú suí shí huì yǒu xiān xuè ， cóng shēn kuàng tǐ lǐ miàn shèn chū ……
身高超过了三米，居然长有五个头颅，一大四小，身卝体做血红之色，青筋暴卝露，给人的感觉仿佛随时会有鲜血，从身卝体里面渗出……
The creature stood over three meters tall and had five heads—four smaller ones and one larger one. Its body was blood-red, with prominent veins, giving the impression that it could bleed profusely at any moment...
nà jù dà de tóu lú ， jiù wǔ guān lái shuō ， yǔ guāng tóu dà hàn wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù ， nǎo mén shàng ， fú xiàn chū yī kuài kuài tóng qián dà xiǎo de shī bān 。
那巨大的头颅，就五官来说，与光头大汉惟妙惟肖到极处，脑门上，浮现出一块块铜钱大小的尸斑。
The large head bore an uncanny resemblance to a bald man's features, with coppery spots the size of coins appearing on its forehead.
liáo yá wài lù ， é tóu shàng ， hái yǒu guǐ jiǎo tàn chū ， zhì yú xiǎo xiē de tóu lú ， liǎng gè wèi yú tā de jiān bǎng chù ， hái yǒu liǎng gè ， zé zhǎng zài xiōng kǒu 。
獠牙外露，额头上，还有鬼角探出，至于小些的头颅，两个位于他的肩膀处，还有两个，则长在胸口。
Sharp fangs protruded from its forehead, and two smaller heads were located on his shoulders while another was on his chest.
tǐ jī yào xiǎo dé duō ， dàn yě zhēng níng dào jí chù ， yǎn ěr kǒu bí ， yǔ nà sì gè shī qù shēn kuàng tǐ de lǎo zhě ， fēn bié shì yī yī duì yìng de 。
体积要小得多，但也狰狞到极处，眼耳口鼻，与那四个失去身卝体的老者，分别是一一对应的。
Though much smaller, they were equally terrifying. The eyes, ears, mouth, and nose corresponded to the four older men who had lost their bodies.
“ zhè shì shén me fǎ shù ？”
“这是什么法术？”
"What kind of technique is this?"
“ méi yǒu jiàn guò ， dàn guǐ qì sēn sēn de ， nán dào zhè jǐ gè jiā huo ， shì xiū guǐ zhě ？”
“没有见过，但鬼气森森的，难道这几个家伙，是修鬼者？”
"I've never seen anything like it, but with such a sinister aura, could these guys be ghost cultivators?"
……
……
Despite the fear, having reached the Separation stage, they had encountered many strange things and were not easily intimidated.
jǐn guǎn xīn zhōng lǐn rán ， dàn néng gòu xiū kuàng liàn dào lí hé ， gè zhǒng xī qí gǔ guài de shì qíng jiàn duō le ， zì rán bú huì bèi xià zhù 。
尽管心中凛然，但能够修卝炼到离合，各种稀奇古怪的事情见多了，自然不会被吓住。
"Amitabha. They are not ghost cultivators. Our spirit realm likely doesn't have such an eerie technique. If I'm not mistaken, they might be from the Asura clan of the Netherworld," Master Jin Hong's voice echoed, filled with solemnity.
“ ē mí tuó fó ， tā men bú shì xiū guǐ zhě ， wǒ líng jiè kǒng pà méi yǒu rú cǐ guǐ yì de mì shù ， lǎo nà ruò méi yǒu liào cuò ， tā men kǒng pà shì lái zì yīn sī de ā xiū luó yī zú 。” jīn hóng dà shī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chōng mǎn le níng zhòng zhī sè 。
“阿弥陀佛，他们不是修鬼者，我灵界恐怕没有如此诡异的秘术，老衲若没有料错，他们恐怕是来自阴司的阿修罗一族。”金泓大师的声音传入耳朵，充满了凝重之色。
"What? Master, did you hear that right? The Asura clan. You mean they are spies from the Netherworld realm?" Jin Yi widened his eyes in disbelief.
“ shén me ， dà shī ， wǒ méi yǒu tīng cuò ba ， ā xiū luó zú ， nǐ de yì si shì tā men shì jiān xì ， lái zì yīn sī jiè de tàn zi ？” jīn yì dèng dà shuāng mù ， yǒu diǎn bù néng zhì xìn de shuō 。
“什么，大师，我没有听错吧，阿修罗族，你的意思是他们是奸细，来自阴司界的探子？”金义瞪大双目，有点不能置信的说。
"How could this be possible? According to legends, the Asura King died at the hands of a true cultivator millions of years ago, and with him, the Asura clan began its decline. They barely manage their own affairs; why would they come here to our spirit realm?" Fairy Ming Quan was equally surprised.
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ， bǎi wàn nián qián de nà chǎng dà zhàn ， ā xiū luó wáng bú shì sǐ zài le zhēn xiān de shǒu zhōng ， tīng shuō lián dài ā xiū luó zú ， yě yóu yīn sī jiè zuì qiáng dà de wáng zú kāi shǐ shuāi luò ， tā men zì gù shàng qiě bù xiá ， pǎo lái wǒ men líng jiè zuò shén me ？” míng quán xiān zi yě dà gǎn yì wài de fǎn bó 。
“这怎么可能，百万年前的那场大战，阿修罗王不是死在了真仙的手中，听说连带阿修罗族，也由阴司界最强大的王族开始衰落，他们自顾尚且不暇，跑来我们灵界做什么？”明泉仙子也大感意外的反驳。
"Master, I'm not sure, but during that great battle, many ghost creatures did indeed get lost in this world, hiding under new identities and even changing their forms with secret techniques, leaving behind descendants," the old monk sighed.
“ zhè lǎo nà bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò dāng nián nà chǎng dà zhàn ， yīn sī guǐ wù ， què shí yǒu bù shǎo yí luò zài wǒ men rén jiè de ， yǐn xìng mái míng ， shèn zhì yǐ mì shù ， gǎi xíng huàn mào ， hái liú xià bù shǎo hòu yì lái de 。” lǎo hé shàng tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō 。
“这老衲不清楚，不过当年那场大战，阴司鬼物，确实有不少遗落在我们人界的，隐姓埋名，甚至以秘术，改型换貌，还留下不少后裔来的。”老和尚叹了一口气的说。
"Do you mean to say that this family is a mix of our human race and Netherworld ghosts?"
“ dà shī shì shuō ， yǎn qián zhè ge jiā zú ， shì yīn sī guǐ wù ， yǔ wǒ men rén zú hùn xuè liú xià lái de ？”
“大师是说，眼前这个家族，是阴司鬼物，与我们人族混血留下来的？”
"I'm not sure about the specifics. Maybe they are descendants of the Netherworld or Asura clan spies sent here. Regardless, we must distinguish between them. Elder An Hui's order to hunt them down is well-known," Master Jin Hong said.
“ jù tǐ qíng xíng ， lǎo nà nǎ lǐ qīng chǔ ， yě xǔ tā men shì yīn sī hòu yì ， yě xǔ tā men shì ā xiū luó zú ， pài dào wǒ men líng jiè de tàn zi ， dàn bù guǎn shì nǎ zhǒng qíng kuàng ， dōu fēn hǎo qū bié yě wú ， shèng chéng zhǎng lǎo ān huì suǒ xià dá de zhuī shā lìng ， wǒ xiǎng dà jiā dōu qīng chǔ 。”
“具体情形，老衲哪里清楚，也许他们是阴司后裔，也许他们是阿修罗族，派到我们灵界的探子，但不管是哪种情况，都分好区别也无，圣城长老安会所下达的追杀令，我想大家都清楚。”
"Perfect! This solves my dilemma. Originally, I hesitated to attack this cultivation family without reason, but now that they are related to Netherworld ghosts, they become our enemies. Eliminating them will be a boon with no harm," Jin Yi grinned, his face filled with excitement.
“ hēi hēi ， zhè zài hǎo bù guò ， yuán běn wú duān duì zhè xiū xiān jiā zú chū shǒu ， jīn mǒu xīn zhōng ， duō shǎo hái yǒu yì diǎn nèi jiù ， rú jīn tā men jì rán yǔ yīn sī guǐ wù yǒu guān xì ， nà jiù shì wǒ líng jiè de gōng dí ， jiāng qí miè le ， yǒu gōng wú guò ， shèn zhì hái kě yǐ xiàng shèng chéng zhǎng lǎo ān lǐng shǎng lái de 。” jīn yì tiǎn kuàng le tiǎn shé kuàng tóu ， mǎn liǎn jīng xǐ de kāi kǒu 。
“嘿嘿，这再好不过，原本无端对这修仙家族出手，金某心中，多少还有一点内疚，如今他们既然与阴司鬼物有关系，那就是我灵界的公敌，将其灭了，有功无过，甚至还可以像圣城长老安领赏来的。”金义舔卝了舔舌卝头，满脸惊喜的开口。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan remained silent, his thoughts in turmoil.
ér lín xuān zé mò rán bù yǔ ， xīn zhōng de zī wèi ér ， fù zá yǐ jí 。
而林轩则默然不语，心中的滋味儿，复杂以极。
The Asura clan?
ā xiū luó zú ？
阿修罗族？
Could it be Moon's people?
nǎ qǐ bù shì yuè ér de zú rén me ？
哪岂不是月儿的族人么？
He hadn't expected the spirit realm cultivators to hate Netherworld spirits so much. Little girl was now somewhere, and her identity must not be discovered.
méi xiǎng dào líng jiè xiū shì duì yīn hún chóu kuàng hèn dào zhè ge dì bù ， xiǎo yā tou rú jīn bù zhī dào shēn zài hé chù ， shēn fèn kě qiān wàn bú yào bèi fā xiàn le 。
没想到灵界修士对阴魂仇卝恨到这个地步，小丫头如今不知道身在何处，身份可千万不要被发现了。
...
……
……
On one side, the other cultivators began their attacks.
tā zhè biān chóu cháng bǎi zhuǎn ， lìng yī biān ， zhòng xiū shì yǐ fēn fēn dòng qì shǒu lái 。
他这边愁肠百转，另一边，众修士已纷纷动气手来。
Fiber Curtain Iblan flicked her fan, summoning countless bolts of lightning and fire.
xiān mù yī lán zhé shàn yī shǎn ， mì mì má má de léi huǒ sà rán fú xiàn 。
纤幕伊蓝折扇一闪，密密麻麻的雷火飒然浮现。
Fairy Ming Quan, on the other hand, conjured ice columns with her fingertips, each sharp as a needle, formed from water essence energy.
míng quán xiān zi zé shì yù shǒu lián diǎn ， yī gēn yī gēn de bīng zhù chū xiàn zài miàn qián ， biǎo miàn jiān ruì yǐ jí ， nǎi shì yòng shuǐ yuán qì suǒ jù 。
明泉仙子则是玉手连点，一根一根的冰柱出现在面前，表面尖锐以极，乃是用水元气所聚。
Her moves were reminiscent of Fairy Ruyan's, but the power was significantly greater.
dào yǔ rú yān jiě jiě dòng shǒu pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， dàn wēi lì míng xiǎn qiáng shàng yī dà jié de yàng zi 。
倒与如嫣姐姐动手颇有几分相似，但威力明显强上一大截的样子。
Rumbling echoed in their ears as they encircled the enemy instantly.
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shùn jiān ， jiù jiāng dí rén lǒng zhào zài lǐ miàn le 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，瞬间，就将敌人笼罩在里面了。
Jin Yi was overjoyed and rushed forward, emitting waves of battle. He clapped his hands together, and nearby elemental energies surged into his body. Cracking sounds filled the air as Jin Yi's figure suddenly grew larger, especially his right hand, stretching to a length of several feet, with muscles resembling steel.
jīn yì dà xǐ ， hún shēn jīn máng yī shǎn de chōng le guò qù ， cóng tā de shēn kuàng tǐ lǐ ， shì fàng chū tāo tiān de zhàn yì ， shēn chū liǎng shǒu ， quán tou zài xiōng qián duì pèng 。
金义大喜，浑身金芒一闪的冲了过去，从他的身卝体里，释放出滔天的战役，伸出两手，拳头在胸前对碰。
He avoided the ice columns and lightning bolts, maintainingsmooth coordination with Fiber Curtain Iblan.
fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ， fēng kuáng de yǒng kuàng rù tā de shēn kuàng tǐ ， suí hòu gǔ gé bào liè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jīn yì de shēn xíng ， zhòu rán zēng dà ， yóu qí shì yòu shǒu ， zhǎng dá dào le zhàng yú ， jī ròu kàn shàng qù jiù yǔ gāng tiě xiāng sì 。
附近的天地元气，疯狂的涌卝入他的身卝体，随后骨骼爆裂的声音传入耳朵，金义的身形，骤然增大，尤其是右手，长达到了丈余，肌肉看上去就与钢铁相似。
As he approached the monster by several meters, their attacks simultaneously ceased.
tā rào kāi le bīng zhù yǔ léi huǒ ， xiān mù yī lán yǔ míng quán xiān zi tóng tā bǎo chí zhe mò qì de pèi hé 。
他绕开了冰柱与雷火，纤幕伊蓝与明泉仙子同他保持着默契的配合。
Smoke dispersed, revealing the creature with a grotesque smile. A layer of blood-red protective barrier appeared around it.
zài tā jù lí guài wù shù zhàng de shí hòu ， liǎng rén de gōng jī tóng shí yī shōu 。
在他距离怪物数丈的时候，两人的攻击同时一收。
All attacks from the ice columns and lightning failed to have any effect.
yān chén sàn kāi ， nà guài wù xiǎn xiàn chū lái ， liǎn shàng dài zhe zhēng níng de xiào róng ， yī céng xuè hóng sè de hù zhào fú xiàn zài tā de shēn zhōu 。
烟尘散开，那怪物显现出来，脸上带着狰狞的笑容，一层血红色的护罩浮现在他的身周。
Seeing Jin Yi closing in, the creature grinned, his sharp fangs gleaming...
bù guǎn bīng zhù hái shì léi huǒ ， suǒ yǒu de gōng jī jū rán méi yǒu qǐ dào bàn diǎn zuò yòng 。
不管冰柱还是雷火，所有的攻击居然没有起到半点作用。
"Bad luck!"
yǎn kàn jīn yì chōng dào shēn qián ， tā liě zuǐ yī xiào ， liǎng kē jiān ruì de liáo yá shǎn shuò zhe hán máng ……
眼看金义冲到身前，他咧嘴一笑，两颗尖锐的獠牙闪烁着寒芒……
Jin Yi's expression changed dramatically as he emitted a burst of spiritual light, trying to stop his descent. However, it was too late. The monster clenched its fists and struck a powerful right hook, turning slightly.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Though several meters apart, the air crackled with tension. A black vortex appeared, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, hurtling towards Jin Yi.
jīn yì biǎo qíng dà biàn ， shēn shàng líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， lián máng ràng xià zhuì de shēn xíng tíng le xià lái ， kě wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， nà guài wù shí zhǐ jǐn kuàng wò ， tóng yàng niē chéng le quán tou ， rán hòu shēn kuàng tǐ wēi wēi cè zhuǎn ， dǎ chū le yī jì piào liàng de yòu gōu quán 。
金义表情大变，身上灵光狂闪，连忙让下坠的身形停了下来，可为时已晚，那怪物十指紧卝握，同样捏成了拳头，然后身卝体微微侧转，打出了一记漂亮的右勾拳。
"Forceful Air Spiral."
liǎng rén jiān de jù lí ， hái yǒu shù zhàng ， kě kōng qì zhōng ， yǐ fā chū lìng rén xīn jì de bào xiǎng ， yí gè hēi sè de xuán wō ， fǎng fú kě yǐ jiāng wàn wù tūn mò ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe jīn yì fēi lüè guò qù le 。
两人间的距离，还有数丈，可空气中，已发出令人心悸的爆响，一个黑色的漩涡，仿佛可以将万物吞没，狠狠的向着金义飞掠过去了。
Jin Yi's expression changed as he had only heard about this realm but had not yet reached it himself. When and how did this creature become so powerful? But there was no time to think now. He activated a set of golden armor.
“ lì zhī qì xuán 。”
“力之气旋。”
The armor wasn't flashy, but it was incredibly heavy, clearly focused on defense.
jīn yì biǎo qíng dà biàn ， zhè yàng de jìng jiè tā zhǐ shì tīng shuō ， hái yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu dá dào de 。
金义表情大变，这样的境界他只是听说，还远远没有达到的。
Its weight was terrifying; ordinary cultivators would be crushed by it.
zhè guài wù ， shén me shí hòu biàn dé rú cǐ lì hài le ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě méi yǒu shí jiān qù luàn xiǎng ， shén niàn yī dòng ， yī tào jīn sè de kǎi jiǎ ， chū xiàn zài le tā de shēn shàng 。
这怪物，什么时候变得如此厉害了，不过此时此刻，也没有时间去乱想，神念一动，一套金色的铠甲，出现在了他的身上。
Jin Yi's tactics didn't end here. Although he acted rashly, he wasn't without brains. As he put on the armor, his left hand tapped his waist, summoning a shield.
cǐ kǎi jiǎ bìng bù xuàn lì ， dàn què hòu zhòng yǐ jí ， míng xiǎn cè zhòng yú fáng yù 。
此铠甲并不绚丽，但却厚重以极，明显侧重于防御。
The same golden color and heavy appearance suggested it belonged to heavily armored soldiers in the secular army.
dāng rán ， zhòng liàng yě jí wéi kě pà ， rú guǒ bú shì tā zhè yàng gāo míng de liàn tǐ zhě ， pǔ tōng xiū shì chuān shàng dū huì bèi yā pā xià 。
当然，重量也极为可怕，如果不是他这样高明的炼体者，普通修士穿上都会被压趴下。
Standing over several feet tall, it concealed his entire figure.
ér jīn yì de shǒu duàn hái bù zhǐ yú cǐ ， tā suī rán lǔ mǎng le xiē ， dàn bìng bù dài biǎo méi yǒu nǎo zi 。
而金义的手段还不止于此，他虽然鲁莽了些，但并不代表没有脑子。
Instantly, the Forceful Air Spiral struck with thunderous force. Though appearing as a small vortex, its power was astonishing. Colliding with the massive shield, it produced a loud "clang" and then penetrated the shield, leaving only a piece of ordinary iron falling from the sky.
zài chuān shàng kǎi jiǎ de tóng shí ， tā yòng zuǒ shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí miàn dùn pái fú xiàn chū lái 。
在穿上铠甲的同时，他用左手在腰间一拍，一面盾牌浮现出来。

tóng yàng chéng xiàn chū jīn sè ， ér qiě shì hěn hòu zhòng de nà zhǒng 。
同样呈现出金色，而且是很厚重的那种。
I have some good news for everyone—The Hundred Refinements to Immortality is being developed into a web game. Although it's just a web-based version, I'm very excited because it will give readers another place to play. Currently in development, the team has set up a group where they can interact with readers and gather feedback on what you'd like the game to be like!~!
The air surged, and everything within the vicinity was reduced to nothingness.
A vast blood sea of several acres appeared in their line of sight, thick as ink and continuously surging. The stench of blood permeated the air, making one feel nauseous.
Five people exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
Clearly, they had provoked a formidable enemy.
However, once an arrow was shot, there was no turning back. With the situation as it stood, there was no room for hesitation.
