xū ruò de gǎn jué yī zhèn zhèn chuán lái ， yī lián sān jì dà zhāo jī hū jiāng lín xuān shēn shàng de měi yī dī fǎ lì dōu zhà gàn ， ér shēn qián ， què shì yī fù shì jiè mò rì bān de jǐng xiàng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
虚弱的感觉一阵阵传来，一连三计大招几乎将林轩身上的每一滴法力都榨干，而身前，却是一副世界末日般的景象映入眼帘。
A wave of weakness washed over Lin Xuan. His body had been drained almost completely by three powerful techniques, yet before him lay a scene that resembled the end of the world.
jiǎo xià de shēn kēng rú tóng yí gè jù dà wú bǐ de xuán wō ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， zhí jìng zú yǒu bǎi zhàng yú ， zhōu wéi ， yī tiáo tiáo rú tóng dāo qiè fǔ xuē de fèng xì ， xiàng zhī zhū wǎng yì bān ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu màn yán 。
脚下的深坑如同一个巨大无比的漩涡，深不见底，直径足有百丈余，周围，一条条如同刀切斧削的缝隙，像蜘蛛网一般，向着四周蔓延。
The deep pit beneath his feet seemed like an enormous vortex, bottomless and vast, with a diameter of more than a hundred feet. Surrounding it were cracks as if cut by sharp blades, spreading out in spider-web patterns towards all directions.
tǔ dì hái zài mào yān ， zhì rè de gāo wēn ， jiāng ní tǔ yǔ yán shí dōu huà wèi le róng róng tài ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， rú tóng biàn bù yán jiāng de dì yù ， yīn sī jiè liú chuán shèn guǎng de huǒ hǎi yě bù wài rú cǐ 。
土地还在冒烟，炙热的高温，将泥土与岩石都化为了熔融态，放眼望去，如同遍布岩浆的地狱，阴司界流传甚广的火海也不外如此。
The ground was still smoking, the intense heat melting the soil and rocks into a molten state. It looked like a fiery hell, much like the inferno described in the Netherworld Tales of the Nine Provinces.
lín xuān de yǎn shén àn dàn yǐ jí ， zhè yī cì fǎ lì shí zài shì tòu zhī dé tài guò xiōng měng le xiē ， tā xī le kǒu qì ， lüè yǒu xiē jiān nán de jiāng yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí gè yù píng fú xiàn chū lái ， bá kāi píng sāi ， yī yǎng shǒu ， jiāng yī dī wàn nián líng rǔ nà rù le 。 zhōng 。
林轩的眼神黯淡以极，这一次法力实在是透支得太过凶猛了些，他吸了口气，略有些艰难的将右手抬起，在腰间一拍，一个玉瓶浮现出来，拔开瓶塞，一仰首，将一滴万年灵乳纳入了。中。
Lin Xuan's eyes were dimmed with exhaustion; he had overdrawn his energy too severely this time. He took a deep breath and lifted his right hand with great difficulty. A jade bottle appeared as he patted his waist, and after removing the stopper, he gulped down a drop of ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk.
qǐng kè jiān ， chōng pèi de fǎ lì zhì dān tián màn yán ， kuò zhǎn zhì qí jīng bā mài ， qīng guāng liú zhuǎn ， chōng pèi de fǎ lì yóu tou dào jiǎo de chóng xīn mí màn chū lái 。
顷刻间，充沛的法力至丹田蔓延，扩展至奇经八脉，青光流转，充沛的法力由头到脚的重新弥漫出来。
Instantly, abundant essence qi spread from his dantian to his meridians, filling him from head to toe. Only then did Lin Xuan raise his head, his expression grave as he gazed ahead. When the last wisps of smoke dissipated with the wind, the form of the old monster finally came into view.
suí hòu lín xuān cái tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn sè níng zhòng de xiàng qián wàng guò qù le ， dāng zuì hòu yī sī yān chén yě bèi fēng chuī sàn ， lǎo guài wù de shēn xíng zhōng yú xiǎn xiàn chū lái 。
随后林轩才抬起头颅，脸色凝重的向前望过去了，当最后一丝烟尘也被风吹散，老怪物的身形终于显现出来。
His clothes were tattered and ragged, a sight of extreme disarray. No, this description was still too mild; his limbs were severely maimed, one arm and leg cut off at the elbow. Several large holes appeared on his chest and abdomen, blood oozing from them. Despite not being dead yet, the severity of his injuries was shocking—such wounds would have killed a commoner ten times over.
yī shān lán lǚ ， láng bèi yǐ jí 。
衣衫褴褛，狼狈以极。
His Daoist robe had long since disintegrated; the old man raised his head with a dazed expression, his face filled with venomous hatred as he laughed loudly: "Very well, very well. After years of hunting geese, I was pecked in the eye by one. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually forced me to such an extent that my physical body is destroyed. Not bad, not bad. You will regret coming into this world."
bù ， zhè yàng de xíng róng hái tài bù zhǔn què le xiē ， tā de sì zhī yǐ cán quē bù quán ， yī shǒu yī zú bèi qí zhǒu duàn qù ， xiōng kǒu 、 xiǎo fù dōu yǒu jǐ gè dà dòng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， xuè gǔ gǔ de liú zhe ， suī rán yī shí wèi sǐ ， dàn shāng shì zhī zhòng ， yě lìng rén chēng mù jié shé ， ruò bú shì xiū xiān zhě ， huàn chéng fán rén sǐ shí cì dōu chuò chuò yǒu yú le 。
不，这样的形容还太不准确了些，他的四肢已残缺不全，一手一足被齐肘断去，胸口、小腹都有几个大洞出现在视线里，血汩汩的流着，虽然一时未死，但伤势之重，也令人瞠目结舌，若不是修仙者，换成凡人死十次都绰绰有余了。
Before his words were fully spoken, a brilliant red light flashed across his flesh, followed by a deafening explosion. His physical body was reduced to nothingness, and a one-inch-long infant soul appeared in his vision, staring at him with malevolent eyes.
dào páo zǎo jiù làn le ， lǎo zhě yǎn shén huàn sàn de tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yuàn dú zhī sè ， jū rán hā hā hā de dà xiào qǐ lái le ， yóu yú shāng shì tài zhòng de yuán gù ， yī biān xiào ， yī biān hái yǒu xiān xuè cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū ：“ hǎo hǎo hǎo hǎo ， zhōng nián dǎ yàn què bèi yàn zhuó le yǎn jīng ， qū qū yī lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán néng jiāng běn zūn bī dào rú cǐ dì bù ， lián ròu shēn yě huǐ le ， bù cuò bù cuò ， wǒ “………… huì ràng nǐ hòu huǐ lái dào zhè ge shì shàng lái de 。”
道袍早就烂了，老者眼神涣散的抬起头颅，脸上满是怨毒之色，居然哈哈哈的大笑起来了，由于伤势太重的缘故，一边笑，一边还有鲜血从嘴巴里喷出：“好好好好，终年打雁却被雁啄了眼睛，区区一离合期修仙者，居然能将本尊逼到如此地步，连肉身也毁了，不错不错，我“…………会让你后悔来到这个世上来的。”
Unlike an Infant Soul cultivator, the old monster's infant soul was very stable; even without its physical form, it could still exert terrifying power.
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā de ròu shēn shàng tū rán yǒu cuǐ càn de hóng máng shǎn guò ， suí hòu “ hōng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， ròu shēn zài bào zhà zhōng huà wèi le xū wú ， yí gè cùn xǔ gāo de yuán yīng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
话音未落，他的肉身上突然有璀璨的红芒闪过，随后“轰”的一声巨响传入耳朵，肉身在爆炸中化为了虚无，一个寸许高的元婴出现在视线中。
Lin Xuan understood this clearly and would not foolishly remain in place waiting for a confrontation. At this point, there was no turning back—act first, suffer later.
wǔ guān yǔ dào zhuāng lǎo zhě sī háo qū bié yě wú ， zhèng ｎ liǎn è dú de jiāng tā jǐn jǐn dīng zhe 。
五官与道装老者丝毫区别也无，正ｎ脸恶毒的将他紧紧盯着。
With a wave of his sleeve, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring flew out, spinning and dancing. A white hurricane appeared before him, sweeping towards the opponent.
yǔ yuán yīng qī xiū shì bù tóng ， dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù de yuán yīng yǐ jīng hěn wěn gù jí shǐ méi yǒu le **， yī jiù kě yǐ fā huī chū jí wéi kě pà de shí lì 。
与元婴期修士不同，洞玄期老怪物的元婴已经很稳固即使没有了**，依旧可以发挥出极为可怕的实力。
"Ha!"
zhè ge dào lǐ lín xuān xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， dāng rán bú huì shǎ shǎ de dài zài yuán dì děng bié rén yǔ zì jǐ suàn zhàng ， shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， yǐ méi yǒu rèn hé huí xuán de yú dì le ， xiān xià shǒu wéi qiáng ， hòu xià shǒu zāo yāng 。
这个道理林轩心中清楚，当然不会傻傻的待在原地等别人与自己算账，事情到了这一步，已没有任何回旋的余地了，先下手为强，后下手遭殃。
The roar echoed as the infant soul clutched its hands together, emitting a foot-high pillar of spiritual light. Miraculously, another Daoist elder appeared from that light.
xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán fēi lüè ér chū dī liū liū pán xuán fēi wǔ ， yī dào bái méng méng de jù fēng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng ， lián tiān jiē dì ， xiàng zhe duì fāng xí juǎn ér qù 。
袖袍一拂，九天明月环飞掠而出滴溜溜盘旋飞舞，一道白蒙蒙的飓风出现在视线中，连天接地，向着对方席卷而去。
"What? He can actually reshape his body?"
“ hē ！”
“喝！”
Lin Xuan was speechless, his composure shattered by this revelation. However, he quickly realized it was just an illusory figure—a human-shaped green shadow with no distinct features. The illusionary form allowed the infant soul to move more freely and cast spells more easily.
bào hē shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yuán yīng shuāng shǒu yī wò ， zhàng xǔ gāo de líng guāng cóng shēn shàng fú xiàn ér chū ， suí hòu chū xiàn le bù kě sī yì de yí mù 。
暴喝声传入耳朵，那元婴双手一握，丈许高的灵光从身上浮现而出，随后出现了不可思议的一幕。
Understanding the situation, Lin Xuan wasn't intimidated. He poured more essence qi into his treasure, making the white hurricane even more formidable.
nà xiē líng guāng yī zhèn shǎn shuò yòu yí gè dào zhuāng lǎo zhě chū xiàn le 。
那些灵光一阵闪烁又一个道装老者出现了。
Lin Xuan stretched out his left hand, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared, swinging down with a crescent-shaped light wave. The space around it seemed to deform, producing sharp whistles as it passed through.
“ shén me ， tā jū rán kě yǐ zhòng sù shēn tǐ ？”
“什么，他居然可以重塑身体？”
This treasure from the Snow Fox King, aside from spatial techniques, had its own powerful abilities. Lin Xuan wasn't satisfied; he opened his mouth and spat out three sharp orbs of different colors.
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， yě bèi xià dé mù dèng kǒu dāi le ， dàn hěn kuài kàn qīng chǔ nà bù guò shì yī dào rén xíng qīng yǐng bà le ， suī rán jiù tǐ tài lái shuō ， yǔ dào zhuāng lǎo zhě sī háo qū bié yě wú dàn shēn tǐ quán shì guāng mù ， miàn róng yě yī piàn mó hú zhǐ bù guò shì yí gè xū yǐng bà le 。
林轩瞠目结舌，以他的城府，也被吓得目瞪口呆了，但很快看清楚那不过是一道人形青影罢了，虽然就体态来说，与道装老者丝毫区别也无但身体全是光幕，面容也一片模糊只不过是一个虚影罢了。
Instantly, a beautiful phoenix materialized from the light, only a foot long but emitting an aura far beyond its size. With a spread of its wings, it vanished, transforming into a streak of light rushing towards the enemy.
shēn wài huà shēn me ？
身外化身么？
The infant soul hid in the illusory body, still with a grim expression. He had suffered greatly and wanted to devour Lin Xuan alive; now he wouldn't underestimate him again.
bú duì ， zhǐ bù guò shì yī zhǒng mì shù ， yuán yīng bì jìng tài xiǎo le ， zhàn dòu qǐ lái yǒu pǒ duō chè zhǒu zhī chù ， duǒ zài zhè xū yǐng zhōng ， jiù yào fāng biàn dé duō ， jiè cǐ gèng róng yì shī zhǎn fǎ shù 。
不对，只不过是一种秘术，元婴毕竟太小了，战斗起来有颇多掣肘之处，躲在这虚影中，就要方便得多，借此更容易施展法术。
Though his physical form was destroyed, his storage bag remained in his hands. With a tap, an oval-shaped treasure appeared—a jadeas desired.
nòng qīng chǔ le duì fāng de xū shí ， lín xuān zì rán bù dǎ chù ， jiāng gèng duō de fǎ lì zhù rù shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù ， nà dào bái méng méng de jù fēng biàn dé yuè fā de shēng shì hào dà le 。
弄清楚了对方的虚实，林轩自然不打怵，将更多的法力注入手中的宝物，那道白蒙蒙的飓风变得越发的声势浩大了。
Holding it, the light surged like waves, forming head-sized orbs that suddenly grew larger, trailing long flames as they shot towards Lin Xuan.
suí hòu lín xuān zuǒ shǒu shēn zhǎn ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fú xiàn chū lái ， hěn hěn huī luò ， yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de yuè yá xíng guāng bō chū xiàn le ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， shèn zhì lián fù jìn de kōng jiān dōu yǒu xiē biàn xíng ， bìng dài lái cì ěr de jiān míng 。
随后林轩左手伸展，一式样古朴的长戈浮现出来，狠狠挥落，一巴掌大小的月牙形光波出现了，所过之处，甚至连附近的空间都有些变形，并带来刺耳的尖鸣。
Boom!
zhè dé zì xuě hú wáng de bǎo wù ， chú le kōng jiān shén tōng yǐ wài ， běn shēn de shén tōng yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ér lín xuān hái bù mǎn zú ， liǎng zhǐ shǒu dōu bù dé xián zhe ， zhǐ jiàn tā zhāng kāi kǒu ， cóng zuǐ zhōng pēn chū sān tuán jiān qiú 。
这得自雪狐王的宝物，除了空间神通以外，本身的神通也非同小可，而林轩还不满足，两只手都不得闲着，只见他张开口，从嘴中喷出三团尖球。
The hurricane and crescent-shaped light wave collided. The hurricane seemed to dissipate instantly, while both forces combined just managed to block the attack.
sān sè liú zhuǎn ， huàn líng tiān huǒ shùn jiān huàn huà le yī zhī měi lì de fèng huáng chū lái 。
三色流转，幻灵天火瞬间幻化了一只美丽的凤凰出来。
Lin Xuan's face turned pale with shock; a Foundation Establishment cultivator was this difficult to deal with. He had lost his physical body, fighting only an infant soul now.
zhǎng jǐn yǒu chǐ xǔ ， sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā què yǔ tǐ tài shì jué bù xiāng chèn dì ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le zōng jì ， huà wèi yī dào guāng cǎi xiàng zhe dí rén pū le guò qù 。
长仅有尺许，散发出来的威压却与体态是绝不相称地，双翅一展，就从原地消失了踪迹，化为一道光彩向着敌人扑了过去。
Sweat trickled down his back as he silently thanked his luck. There was no time for further thought—Lin Xuan flicked his brows and immediately used Nine Heavens Microsteps.
yuán yīng duǒ zài xū yǐng de shēn tǐ lǐ ， yī jiù shì yǎo yá qiè chǐ de biǎo qíng ， gāng gāng tā chī le dà kǔ tóu ， hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān shēng tūn huó lù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì rán bú huì zài qīng dí le 。
元婴躲在虚影的身体里，依旧是咬牙切齿的表情，刚刚他吃了大苦头，恨不得将林轩生吞活录，此时此刻，自然不会再轻敌了。
A flash of purple light, and Lin Xuan vanished from his spot, reappearing several dozen feet away.
ròu shēn suī rán yǐ jīng huǐ qù ， dàn chǔ wù dài hái zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， qīng qīng yī pāi ， yī yù rú yì xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù jiù bèi yǐ tā qǔ le chū lái 。
肉身虽然已经毁去，但储物袋还在他的手里，轻轻一拍，一玉如意形状的宝物就被以他取了出来。
At the same moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and a fist-sized fireball appeared out of nowhere.
qīng yǐng wò zài shǒu lǐ ， cǐ bǎo líng guāng pēn bó ， rú bō wén bān ， yí gè gè tóu lú dà xiǎo de guāng qiú fú xiàn ， suí hòu yī shǎn ， nà xiē guāng qiú měng rán bào zhǎng le qǐ lái ， dài zhe cháng cháng de wěi yàn ， cháo zhe zhè biān 〖 jī 〗 shè guò lái 。
清影握在手里，此宝灵光喷薄，如波玟般，一个个头颅大小的光球浮现，随后一闪，那些光球猛然暴涨了起来，带着长长的尾焰，朝着这边〖激〗射过来。
The space it passed through was baked into a glowing white, revealing the power of this flame. It was astonishingly formidable.
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan barely had time to react before another sword energy appeared, also without warning, as if teleporting.
xià yī kè ， jiù yǔ jù fēng jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， nà dào kàn shàng qù shēng shì bù xiǎo de jù fēng jī hū shì yī chù jí sàn ， jǐn jiē zhe ， yuè yá xíng guāng bō yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ yě chōng le guò lái ， liǎng zhě hé lì ， cái zǒng suàn dǎng zhù le duì fāng de gōng jī 。
下一刻，就与飓风激撞在一起，那道看上去声势不小的飓风几乎是一触即散，紧接着，月牙形光波与幻灵天火也冲了过来，两者合力，才总算挡住了对方的攻击。
This time, Nine Heavens Microsteps were not enough for evasion; fortunately, Lin Xuan had already summoned his Black Iron Dragon Shield. By pouring essence qi into it, a brilliant light shield protected him.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， biàn dé tiě qīng yǐ jí ， dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán nán chán dào zhè ge chéng dù ， yào zhī dào ， tā de ròu shēn yǐ bèi huǐ qù ， cǐ kè yǔ zì jǐ zuò zhàn de ， bù guò shì yī yuán yīng zhī tǐ 。
林轩的表情，变得铁青以极，洞玄期修仙者，居然难缠到这个程度，要知道，他的肉身已被毁去，此刻与自己作战的，不过是一元婴之体。
A sharp sound filled the air, like scratching nails on porcelain, causing goosebumps to rise and teeth to fall out.
bèi hòu lěng hàn lín lí ， lín xuān àn hū jiǎo xìng bù yǐ ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān duō zuò sī liáng shén me ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng de shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù 。
背后冷汗淋漓，林轩暗呼侥幸不已，但此时此刻，已没有时间多做思量什么，林轩眉头一挑，想也不想的施展九天微步。
Then, spiritual light surged as Lin Xuan's face showed shock—his Black Iron Dragon Shield was easily torn apart, crumbling like tofu in front of the sword energy. The sword continued its descent, severing his head…!~!
A wave of weakness washed over Lin Xuan. His body had been drained almost completely by three powerful techniques, yet before him lay a scene that resembled the end of the world.
The deep pit beneath his feet seemed like an enormous vortex, bottomless and vast, with a diameter of more than a hundred feet. Surrounding it were cracks as if cut by sharp blades, spreading out in spider-web patterns towards all directions.
The ground was still smoking, the intense heat melting the soil and rocks into a molten state. It looked like a fiery hell, much like the inferno described in the Netherworld Tales of the Nine Provinces.
