第一千八百八十章阴魂之祸
Chapter 1880 - The Plague of Phantom Souls
huáng hé zhī shuǐ tiān shàng lái , bēn téng dào hǎi bù fù huí 。
黄河之水天上来,奔腾到海不复回。
The Yellow River's waters come from the heavens, rushing to the sea and never returning.
cǐ qíng cǐ jǐng , yòng zhè jù shī xíng róng shì zài hé shì bù guò , dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě chū shǒu , guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě , chéng qiān shàng wàn de yīn hún guǐ wù , bèi juǎn rù le hé shuǐ zhī zhōng , lián pào dōu méi yǒu mào yí gè , jiù huà wèi le xū wú , yuán běn tā men bèi bāo wéi dé mì mì má má de , cǐ shí cǐ kè , yìng shì chōng shuā chū yī tiáo tōng lù 。
此情此景,用这句诗形容是再合适不过,洞玄期修仙者出手,果然非同小可,成千上万的阴魂鬼物,被卷入了河水之中,连泡都没有冒一个,就化为了虚无,原本他们被包围得密密麻麻的,此时此刻,硬是冲刷出一条通路。
This scene was perfectly described by that verse. A daoist practitioner at the Cave Profound stage indeed proved formidable; thousands upon thousands of phantom souls were swept into the river, vanishing without a trace. Originally tightly surrounded, they now managed to carve out a path through the torrent.
hǎi zú xiū shì jiàn le , wú bù dà xǐ , lián máng pīn mìng cháo zhe zhè ge fāng xiàng jù jí 。
海族修士见了,无不大喜,连忙拼命朝着这个方向聚集。
The Sea Clan practitioners rejoiced greatly and quickly gathered in this direction. Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with sharp light as he too flew over.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn guò , hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ , tóng yàng fēi le guò qù 。
林轩眼中精芒闪过,浑身青芒一起,同样飞了过去。
However, while the Heavenly River's power was immense, its duration was too short. In just a few breaths, the surrounding phantom souls reassembled, resolutely gathering once more.
rán ér zhè tiān hé zhī shuǐ suī wēi lì wú pǐ , chí xù de shí jiān què tài duǎn le xiē , bù guò duǎn duǎn de jǐ xī , zhōu wéi de yīn hún guǐ wù , jiù yòu chóng xīn hàn bù wèi sǐ de jù lǒng zài yì qǐ 。
然而这天河之水虽威力无匹,持续的时间却太短了些,不过短短的几息,周围的阴魂鬼物,就又重新悍不畏死的聚拢在一起。
The practitioners' faces fell dramatically. But at this moment, a loud roar echoed, followed by the sound of cracking bones. The practitioner surnamed Li's eyes glinted with ferocity as he doubled in size. In just a few breaths, his body grew to nearly ten zhang (about 30 feet), muscles rippling like steel.
zhòng xiū de liǎn sè bù yóu de nán kàn yǐ jí , rán ér jiù zài zhè shí , zhǐ tīng yī shēng bào hē , gē bēng gē bēng gǔ gé bào liè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà lì xìng xiū shì yǎn zhōng xiōng máng shǎn guò , shuāng shǒu yī wò , shēn xíng jū rán bào zhǎng qǐ lái le , bù guò duǎn duǎn de jǐ xī , jiù bào zhǎng le shù shí bèi yǒu yú , huà wèi yī shēn gāo jiē jìn shí zhàng de jù rén , jī ròu qiú jié , yǒu rú gāng tiě 。
众修的脸色不由得难看以极,然而就在这时,只听一声暴喝,咯嘣咯嘣骨骼爆裂的声音传入耳朵,那厉姓修士眼中凶芒闪过,双手一握,身形居然暴涨起来了,不过短短的几息,就暴涨了数十倍有余,化为一身高接近十丈的巨人,肌肉虬结,有如钢铁。
Simultaneously, an aura of primordial savagery emanated from him, though it was unclear if this was due to the cultivation technique. The seemingly robust trident he held in one hand now looked like a child's toy.
tóng shí , tā hún shēn shàng xià , sàn fà chū yī gǔ mán huāng de qì xī , yě bù zhī dào , shì bú shì yǔ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ yǒu guān xì , nà kàn shì cū zhuàng de sān chā jǐ , cǐ shí bèi tā dān shǒu ná zài zhǎng lǐ , jiù fǎng fú yī xiǎo hái zi de wán jù 。
同时,他浑身上下,散发出一股蛮荒的气息,也不知道,是不是与修炼的功法有关系,那看似粗壮的三叉戟,此时被他单手拿在掌里,就仿佛一小孩子的玩具。
Without further ado, Li surnamed practitioner exhaled a cloud of green mist that entered Lin Xuan’s ears with a pop. The trident absorbed it, and its surface glowed with a vibrant green light.
lì xìng xiū shì yě bù duō shuō , kǒu zhōng zhí jiē pēn chū yī tuán qīng qì , bō de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà sān chā jǐ xī shōu yǐ hòu , biǎo miàn dùn shí qīng máng shǎn shuò , fǎng fú yǒu shén me gǔ lǎo de dōng xī sū xǐng 。
厉姓修士也不多说,口中直接喷出一团青气,啵的一声传入耳朵,那三叉戟吸收以后,表面顿时青芒闪烁,仿佛有什么古老的东西苏醒。
"Wow..."
líng guāng dà zuò , tǐ xíng yě suí zhī bào zhǎng qǐ lái le 。
灵光大做,体型也随之暴涨起来了。
Several Sea Clan practitioners nearby were shocked, even two daoists at the Cave Profound stage turned to look back.
“ hē !”
“喝!”
This boy was actually playing the fool to catch the big fish?
rán hòu tā shuāng shǒu chí jǐ , rú pō shuǐ bān de xiàng zhe qián fāng héng sǎo ér qù 。
然后他双手持戟,如泼水般的向着前方横扫而去。
Regret flashed in their eyes, but they had no time for such thoughts. The black light column fully expanded, revealing several daoists at the Cave Profound stage—seven or eight of them.
nà shēng shì lìng rén chēng mù jié shé , fǎng fú shàng gǔ jù rén zhòu rán chū xiàn zài yǎn qián 。
那声势令人瞠目结舌,仿佛上古巨人骤然出现在眼前。
Although just at the early stages of the Cave Profound realm, this number left the Sea Clan speechless with awe.
guāng huá yào yǎn , fù jìn de kōng jiān , dōu chū xiàn le niǔ qū , zú kě jiàn tā zhè yī jī de wēi lì , shù shí dào yuè yá xíng de guāng bō , zài wēng míng shēng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū , xiàng zhe sì zhōu sǎn shè 。
光华耀眼,附近的空间,都出现了扭曲,足可见他这一击的威力,数十道月牙形的光波,在嗡鸣声中浮现而出,向着四周散射。
The appearances of these creatures varied greatly. One on the far left was over eight chi tall and looked much more imposing than an ordinary person, a green-faced, fanged phantom soul.
nà wēi lì , kě bú shì shén me pǔ tōng de fēng rèn néng gòu bǐ nǐ de , suǒ guò zhī chù , shén dǎng shā shén , fú dǎng shā fú , gāng gāng jù lǒng qǐ lái de yīn hún , lì kè yòu bèi héng sǎo le gè qī líng bā luò 。
那威力,可不是什么普通的风刃能够比拟的,所过之处,神挡杀神,佛挡杀佛,刚刚聚拢起来的阴魂,立刻又被横扫了个七零八落。
Beside him stood someone much smaller, resembling a child, but with three heads on his shoulders...
“ zǒu !”
“走!”
Another wore imperial attire, clearly a very strange woman. If not for her horned forehead, she could have passed as a human daoist.
jù rén yī shēng bào hē , shǒu chí zhàn jǐ , dāng xiān zài qián miàn kāi lù , qí tā de hǎi zú xiū shì , yě lì kè jí yǒu zhì xù de gēn shàng lái le 。
巨人一声暴喝,手持战戟,当先在前面开路,其他的海族修士,也立刻极有秩序的跟上来了。
The most eye-catching was the one in the middle. His lower half resembled a tortoise-like creature, carrying a hard shell on its back, but his upper body was identical to that of a human.
rén rén yǎn zhōng jiē shǎn guò xīng fèn zhī sè , tā men sì hū kàn dào tuō kùn ér chū de shǔ guāng 。
人人眼中皆闪过兴奋之色,他们似乎看到脱困而出的曙光。
This creature towered at nearly ten zhang and looked like a counterpart to the bald-headed Sea Clan giant. They complemented each other well.
shì qì dà zhèn zhī xià , gōng shì yě yuè fā líng lì , yī shí jiān , ruì bù kě dāng , hái zhēn bèi tā men xiàng qián tū jìn le shù bǎi zhàng 。
士气大振之下,攻势也越发凌厉,一时间,锐不可当,还真被他们向前突进了数百丈。
"Haha, this is the Spirit Realm, right?" The phantom soul resembling a child said with excitement on its face.
kě xī hǎo jǐng bù cháng , piān piān jiù zài zhè shí , yì biàn tū qǐ , cóng nà kě pà de kōng jiān liè fèng lǐ , mào chū gèng wéi nóng zhòng de yīn qì 。
可惜好景不长,偏偏就在这时,异变突起,从那可怕的空间裂缝里,冒出更为浓重的阴气。
"No, it's more likely a connection channel. But from here, we should definitely be in some small interface of the Spirit Realm," the woman in imperial attire spoke slowly.
hōng !
轰!
"Shouldn't we really attack here? If so, this might ignite war between the two realms." Another voice echoed, spoken by a daoist with a horse's face and human body.
jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , suí hòu , chōng tiān ér qǐ yī dào hēi sè de guāng zhù , zhí jìng chāo guò bǎi zhàng yú , hǎi zú xiū shì bù yóu zì zhǔ de zhuǎn guò tóu qù , rén rén liǎn sè nán kàn dé yào sǐ 。
巨响声传入耳朵,随后,冲天而起一道黑色的光柱,直径超过百丈余,海族修士不由自主的转过头去,人人脸色难看得要死。
"Horse Face, are you scared?" The man with the turtle shell on his back frowned as malevolent energy surged from him.
páng dà de wēi yā cóng nà guāng zhù zhōng sàn fà ér chū , lǐ miàn bù zhī dào yǐn cáng zhe duō shǎo yīn hún guǐ wù , guān jiàn shì , zhè xiē bù zài shì pào huī bān de cún zài le 。
庞大的威压从那光柱中散发而出,里面不知道隐藏着多少阴魂鬼物,关键是,这些不再是炮灰般的存在了。
"No, just that King Asura isn't here. Our power in the Nether Realm is insufficient to contend with the Spirit Realm. If we do this, I fear it might bring trouble upon us. If all six interfaces of our realm are destroyed..."
zhù jī qī , níng dān qī , yuán yīng , lí hé ……
筑基期,凝丹期,元婴,离合……
"Hmph, doing so would be better. You forget, our clan was originally traitors of the Nether Realm, not tolerated by the Six Kings or the Asura Clan. Our people have been nearly wiped out by the Five Kings of the Nether Realm and the Elder Grandmaster of the Asura Clan. We are just lucky to have escaped. With such a small number, how can we restore our clan? So, let's fight to the death. The King staked his life and treasures to determine this connection channel’s location, sending us here."
zuì hòu , shèn zhì gǎn jué dào le dòng xuán jí bié de líng lì 。
最后,甚至感觉到了洞玄级别的灵力。
"Horse Face, everyone swore before the King that we would avenge those who died. We couldn't handle the Nether Realm's six clans, but the Spirit Realm is different. Our goal is to ignite conflict between the two realms and use their enmity to settle our grievances..."
lín xuān yǐ xīn shēng tuì yì , zhè zhǒng shí kè , jì xù dài zài cǐ chù , jiù bú shì fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú , ér shì yǔ zì jǐ guò bù qù 。
林轩已心生退意,这种时刻,继续待在此处,就不是富贵险中求,而是与自己过不去。
These phantom souls spoke without using sound transmission techniques. Lin Xuan heard every word clearly, his face showing a strange expression.
lín xuān yòu bú shì shǎ zi , jiù suàn zhè bèi hòu zhēn yǒu tiān dà de hǎo chù , yě yào yǒu mìng cái néng gòu xiǎng yòng de 。
林轩又不是傻子,就算这背后真有天大的好处,也要有命才能够享用的。
From these snippets, he couldn't deduce the entire story of the Spirit Realm, but making some simple inferences was straightforward enough.
cǐ shí cǐ kè , xié dǐ mǒ yóu , shì zuì wèi cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
此时此刻,鞋底抹油,是最为聪明的选择。
These seemed to be traitors of the Nether Realm or those not tolerated by the Six Kings and Asura Clan. The specifics were unclear to Lin Xuan.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān bù zài chí yí , shuāng shǒu tái qǐ , zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào dào de guǐ jì , shuāng yīng yī dān tóng shí fā lì 。
脑海中念头转过,林轩不再迟疑,双手抬起,在虚空中划过一道道的轨迹,双婴一丹同时发力。
Perhaps they had offended the most powerful figures in the Nether Realm, or perhaps they wanted to replace the six clans. Many possibilities existed, just as there were conflicts among Spirit Realm sects over territory.
duì fāng suǒ zhòng xià de nà zhāng jìn zhì fú , rú cuī kū lā xiǔ yì bān , shùn jiān bèi chōng pò , yuǎn bǐ pǔ tōng lí hé hòu qī gèng wéi chōng shí de líng lì mí sàn ér chū 。
对方所种下的那张禁制符,如摧枯拉朽一般,瞬间被冲破,远比普通离合后期更为充实的灵力弥散而出。
The Eastern Sea daoist world was currently in chaos, with humans, sea creatures, and monsters all involved. It was hard to say who was right or wrong; the daoist world always followed survival of the fittest.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Unfortunately, they failed. As victors, the six clans naturally wouldn't be lenient, massacring them until only a few lucky survivors remained.
lín xuān fù jìn de jǐ gè hǎi zú , dà jīng shī sè , biàn shì liǎng míng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , yě bù yóu de huí guò le tóu lú 。
林轩附近的几个海族,大惊失色,便是两名洞玄期修仙者,也不由得回过了头颅。
After escaping, knowing their strength wasn’t enough for revenge, they devised a strategy to use others as pawns. Their goal was to ignite conflict between the Spirit and Nether Realms, allowing them to settle their grievances by proxy.
zhè xiǎo zi jū rán zài bàn zhū chī hǔ ?
这小子居然在扮猪吃虎?
Thus, they came to the Spirit Realm, planning to conquer a small interface. If successful, major daoists in the Spirit Realm wouldn’t ignore it, reigniting the war between the two realms.
tā men yǎn zhōng yě shǎn guò yī sī hòu huǐ zhī sè , rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , què méi yǒu shí jiān guān zhù zhè biān le , nà guāng zhù yǐ wán quán sàn kāi , guǒ rán yǒu dòng xuán qī cún zài , hái bú shì yí gè liǎng gè , ér shì zú yǒu qī 、 bā rén zhī duō 。
他们眼中也闪过一丝后悔之色,然而此时此刻,却没有时间关注这边了,那光柱已完全散开,果然有洞玄期存在,还不是一个两个,而是足有七、八人之多。
Despite this, they would inevitably die. But at this point, survival was pointless, so they were willing to risk everything for a chance of revenge.
suī rán dōu zhǐ shì dòng xuán chū qī de yīn hún guǐ wù , dàn zhè ge shù liàng , yǐ jīng ràng hǎi zú zhèn hàn dé shuō bù chū huà lái le 。
虽然都只是洞玄初期的阴魂鬼物,但这个数量,已经让海族震撼得说不出话来了。
With their backs against the wall, Lin Xuan was the only one remaining calm. He cast a mysterious incantation in the air, and the Illusory Shadow Secret Technique activated. There was no time for hesitation; he needed to leave immediately or be trapped by these phantom souls.
nà xiē jiā huo de xíng mào yě gè bù xiāng tóng , zuì zuǒ biān de yí gè , shēn gāo bā chǐ yǒu yú , yuǎn bǐ yì bān rén kuí wú , nǎi shì yī qīng miàn liáo yá de guǐ wù 。
那些家伙的形貌也各不相同,最左边的一个,身高八尺有余,远比一般人魁梧,乃是一青面獠牙的鬼物。
The situation had become extremely urgent. The Sea Clan paid no attention to what Lin Xuan was doing. These phantom souls were their common enemy. Any rational human daoist should realize that joining forces with them was the only option.
ér tā páng biān de jiā huo , què yào shòu xiǎo dé duō , fǎng fú yí gè tóng zi , rán ér jiān bǎng shàng què zhǎng zhe sān gè tóu lú ……
而他旁边的家伙,却要瘦小得多,仿佛一个童子,然而肩膀上却长着三个头颅……
But they were disappointed as Lin Xuan vanished without a trace, using his Illusory Shadow Secret Technique, a spatial ability allowing him to travel thousands of miles in an instant. The surrounding layers of encirclement proved futile.
hái yǒu yí gè , shēn chuān gōng zhuāng , jū rán shì yī jí wéi yāo yì de nǚ zǐ , rú guǒ bú shì é tóu shàng zhǎng le yí gè jiǎo , jiǎn zhí yǔ rén lèi xiū shì bié wú èr zhì 。
还有一个,身穿宫装,居然是一极为妖异的女子,如果不是额头上长了一个角,简直与人类修士别无二致。
Lin Xuan continued his flight, repeatedly casting the Illusory Shadow Secret Technique over ten times until he felt his body could no longer bear it and his mana was nearly depleted. He flicked his sleeve, sending a jade bottle flying out—containing immortal milk. After drinking a drop, green light enveloped him as he flew off in another direction.
rán ér zuì yǐn rén zhǔ mù de , què shì zhōng jiān yí gè , tā de xià bàn shēn , xiàng shì yī xuán guī xíng zhuàng de yāo wù , bèi shàng bèi zhe yìng ké , rán ér shàng bàn shēn què yǔ rén lèi shì yī yàng de 。
然而最引人瞩目的,却是中间一个,他的下半身,像是一玄龟形状的妖物,背上背着硬壳,然而上半身却与人类是一样的。
