zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， cái zhēn zhèng de kě yǐ chēng zhī wèi tiān dì líng wù 。
这种东西，才真正的可以称之为天地灵物。
This truly qualifies as a heavenly spirit object.
gǔ mó qǐ chū de shí hòu kàn jiàn rén shēn dà jīng shī sè ， rú jīn yí gè gè què dōu guāi guāi de bì zuǐ le 。
古魔起初的时候看见人参大惊失色，如今一个个却都乖乖的闭嘴了。
At first, the ancient demon was shocked to see ginseng. Now, they were all obediently keeping silent.
rú guǒ shì jǐ shí wàn nián cān líng de bǎo wù ， nà zì rán kě yǐ yòng zuò duó shě 。
如果是几十万年参龄的宝物，那自然可以用作夺舍。
If it were a precious object with hundreds of thousands of years of age, naturally, it could be used for soul swapping.
zhǐ shì zhè yàng de dōng xī ， xià wèi jiè miàn yīng gāi bú huì yǒu de ， nán dào bīng pò mó zǔ yī kāi shǐ ， jiù dǎ suàn fēn hún jiàng lín cǐ chù ， zhè tōng líng rén shēn shì cóng shèng jiè dài guò lái de ？
只是这样的东西，下位界面应该不会有的，难道冰魄魔祖一开始，就打算分魂降临此处，这通灵人参是从圣界带过来的？
However, such things wouldn't exist in lower planes; did Sovereign Demon Ice Soul originally plan to split his soul and descend here? Could this spirit ginseng have been brought from the Holy Realm?
dāng rán ， zhè ge wèn tí tā men méi yǒu tí ， rú jīn yí shì yǐ rán kāi qǐ 。
当然，这个问题他们没有提，如今仪式已然开启。
Of course, they didn't raise these questions. The ritual had already begun.
zhǐ jiàn bàn kōng zhōng ， nà míng jiào qiǎo yún de shào nǚ jì chū le yī jiàn bǎo wù ， shì yī kē qī hēi rú mò de bǎo zhū ， quán tou dà xiǎo ” tōng tǐ shēn chén de hēi sè ， yī gǔ shén mì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
只见半空中，那名叫巧芸的少女祭出了一件宝物，是一颗漆黑如墨的宝珠，拳头大小”通体深沉的黑色，一股神秘之气沛然而出。
Above mid-air, a maiden named Qiao Yun revealed a treasure. It was a black gemstone as dark as ink, about the size of a fist. Its body exuded an aura of mystery.
suí hòu shào nǚ dòng le ， fǎng fú zài tiào wǔ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， jiǎo huái shàng yǒu huán pèi dīng dōng de shēng yīn fēn fán ér chū ， shì nà jiǎo líng pèng zhuàng fā chū lái de 。
随后少女动了，仿佛在跳舞，随着她的动作，脚踝上有环佩叮咚的声音纷繁而出，是那脚铃碰撞发出来的。
The maiden then moved, seemingly dancing. As she did so, sounds of tinkling bells emerged from her ankles—clinking from the footbells.
nà shēng yīn qīng cuì yǐ jí ， rán ér yǔ yuè ěr què bù zhān biān jì ， fǎn ér ràng rén gǎn jué yī zhèn xīn jì 。
那声音清脆以极，然而与悦耳却不沾边际，反而让人感觉一阵心悸。
These sounds were extremely clear and pleasant to the ear, but they also caused a sense of unease. They felt like a soul-calling that was unbearable.
fǎng fú zhāo hún yì bān de nán shòu bù yǐ 。
仿佛招魂一般的难受不已。
Her incantations grew more urgent. She spat out three drops of blood in succession toward the front.
suí hòu shào nǚ kǒu zhōng de zhòu yǔ yuè fā jìn jí ， yī lián sān kǒu jīng xuè cháo zhe qián fāng pēn le chū qù 。
随后少女口中的咒语越发劲急，一连三口精血朝着前方喷了出去。
Puff...
pū ……
噗……
The black gemstone absorbed them completely.
zhèng zhōng mó zhū ， rán hòu jiù bèi nà kē qī hēi de zhū zi gěi yì diǎn bù shèng de xī le jìn qù 。
正中魔珠，然后就被那颗漆黑的珠子给一点不剩的吸了进去。
A gust of wind entered her ears as the gemstone's dark aura flickered, and the demonic energy inside seemed even deeper.
hū de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu jiù jiàn nà zhū zi hēi máng shǎn shuò ， lǐ miàn de mó qì fǎng fú gèng jiā de yōu shēn le 。
呼的一声传入耳朵，随后就见那珠子黑芒闪烁，里面的魔气仿佛更加的幽深了。
Sizzle...
cī lā ……
刺啦……
After a few breaths, there was actually a crack on the surface of the artifact. It started shallowly but soon spread like spider webs across its entire surface.
yòu guò le jǐ xī ， nà fǎ qì de biǎo miàn jū rán yǒu yì diǎn liè wén chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
又过了几息，那法器的表面居然有一点裂纹出现在了视线里。
The demonic energy inside the gemstone turned crimson, then exploded into countless red light points.
kāi shǐ hái zhǐ yǒu qiǎn qiǎn de yì diǎn ， suí hòu xiàng zhī zhū wǎng yì bān de pá mǎn le zhěng gè biǎo miàn 。
开始还只有浅浅的一点，随后像蜘蛛网一般的爬满了整个表面。
The maiden stretched out her hand and cast several more spells. The light points rotated and flickered, forming a vortex the size of a fist.
suí hòu nà zhū zi lǐ miàn de mó qì ， jū rán biàn dé yīn chuán hóng rú xuè qǐ lái ， suí hòu bào kāi ” huà wèi le wú shù xiān hóng de guāng diǎn 。
随后那珠子里面的魔气，居然变得殷圌红如血起来，随后爆开”化为了无数鲜红的光点。
However, this was just the beginning; all demonic energies within a hundred miles gathered here and were sucked into the vortex.
shào nǚ shēn chū shǒu lái ， yòu shì jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà guāng diǎn xuán zhuǎn shǎn shuò ， huà wèi le yí gè quán tou dà xiǎo de xuán wō 。
少女伸出手来，又是几道法诀打出，那光点旋转闪烁，化为了一个拳头大小的漩涡。
"Go!"
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ， rán hòu fāng yuán bǎi lǐ suǒ yǒu de mó qì jiē cháo zhe zhè lǐ jù jí ， bèi xī rù dào le xuán wō lǐ 。
然而这仅仅是开始，然后方圆百里所有的魔气皆朝着这里聚集，被吸入到了漩涡里。
With a wave of her jade hand, the vortex flew toward the altar and merged with it. The entire array suddenly emitted an extremely violent aura.
shào nǚ yù shǒu yī fú ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò nà xuán wō xiàng jì tán fēi le guò qù ， yǔ qí róng wèi le yī tǐ ， zhěng gè zhèn fǎ ， dùn shí sàn fà chū yī gǔ yì cháng kuáng bào de qì xī 。
少女玉手一拂，随着她的动作那漩涡像祭坛飞了过去，与其融为了一体，整个阵法，顿时散发出一股异常狂暴的气息。
Everyone widened their eyes. They had never experienced such a scene before. What kind of wonders would Sovereign Demon Ice Soul's soul-splitting bring?
“ zhè ……”，
“这……”，
"You all stand around the altar; I need your help."
suǒ yǒu rén dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， zhè yàng de jīng lì tā men yě bù céng yǒu guò ， mó zǔ fēn hún jiàng lín hái huì yǒu zěn yàng de qí jǐng ne ？
所有人瞪大了眼珠，这样的经历他们也不曾有过，魔祖分魂降临还会有怎样的奇景呢？
The maiden spoke, and this request left the ancient demons in shock.
“ nǐ men jǐ gè quán bù zhàn dào jì tán de zhōu cè ， wǒ xū yào nǐ men ， zhù wǒ yī bì zhī lì de 。”
“你们几个全部站到祭坛的周侧，我需要你们，助我一臂之力的。”
"Is it because everything I'm doing is to ensure Miss's successful descent here? Don't you want to serve our lady?" She frowned, her voice turning cold.
shào nǚ tū rán kāi kǒu le ， suǒ shuō de yāo qiú ， gèng shì ràng zhòng mó yī dāi biǎo qíng yǒu xiē chí yí le qǐ lái 。
少女突然开口了，所说的要求，更是让众魔一呆表情有些迟疑了起来。
"Mistress Qiao Yun misunderstands us. We just didn't know about such a requirement beforehand," said one of the ancient demons with a green face and fangs, as he stepped onto the altar.
“ zěn me ， wǒ xiàn zài suǒ zuò de yī qiè ， dōu shì wèi le ràng xiǎo jiě chéng gōng jiàng lín cǐ chù ， nán dào nǐ men ， bù yuàn yì wèi wǒ jiā xiǎo jiě xiào lì me ？” shào nǚ xiù méi yī pī ， shēng yīn yě biàn dé lěng liè qǐ lái le 。
“怎么，我现在所做的一切，都是为了让小姐成功降临此处，难道你们，不愿意为我家小姐效力么？”少女秀眉一批，声音也变得冷冽起来了。
The other ancient demons, though still hesitant, dared not disobey. After all, to Sovereign Demon Ice Soul, they were mere ants; defying orders would surely lead to dire consequences.
“ qiǎo yún xiǎo jiě wù huì le ” zhǐ shì zhè yàng de yāo qiú ， nín shì xiān yě bù céng shuō ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men cái gǎn jué yǒu diǎn qí guài de 。”
“巧芸小姐误会了”只是这样的要求，您事先也不曾说，所以我们才感觉有点奇怪的。”
Moreover, they respected this maiden Qiao Yun, so she wouldn't wrongfully harm them.
nà qīng miàn liáo yá de gǔ mó liǎn shàng shǎn guò shī hǎo zhī sè shēn xíng yī shǎn yǐ lái dào le jì tán de shàng miàn 。
那青面獠牙的古魔脸上闪过诗好之色身形一闪已来到了祭坛的上面。
Only the succubus cast a strange look in her eyes and reluctantly joined the others on the altar.
qí tā gǔ mó jiàn le ， xīn zhōng jí biàn hái yǒu diǎn dí gū ， què yě bù gǎn bù cóng ， bì jìng duì bīng pò mó zǔ lái shuō zì jǐ bù guò shì lóu yǐ ， gǎn wéi lìng ， xià chǎng yí dìng hǎo bù dào nǎ ér qù 。
其他古魔见了，心中即便还有点嘀咕，却也不敢不从，毕竟对冰魄魔祖来说自己不过是蝼蚁，敢违令，下场一定好不到哪儿去。
"Good. You all input demonic energy into the array. This array still requires some more power to fully activate," the maiden instructed.
hé kuàng tā men duì zhè jiào qiǎo yún de shào nǚ yí xiàng gōng jìng ” xiǎng lái duì fāng yě bú huì wú duān de xiàn hài zì jǐ 。
何况他们对这叫巧芸的少女一向恭敬”想来对方也不会无端的陷害自己。
"Oh!"
wéi yǒu mèi mó yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī qí guài zhī sè ， cái bù qíng bù yuàn de zuì hòu yí gè lái dào jì tán shàng le 。
唯有魅魔眼中闪过一丝奇怪之色，才不情不愿的最后一个来到祭坛上了。
The ancient demons obeyed, feeling relieved that it was just a lack of power. Miss Qiao Yun hadn't anticipated this.
“ hǎo nǐ men wǎng zhèn fǎ zhōng shū rù mó qì ， cǐ zhèn xiǎng yào wán quán kāi qǐ ， suǒ xū yào de mó lì ， hái lüè yǒu bù zú 。” shào nǚ rú cǐ zhè bān de fēn fù 。
“好你们往阵法中输入魔气，此阵想要完全开启，所需要的魔力，还略有不足。”少女如此这般的吩咐。
After about fifteen minutes, the entire array glowed with demonic light. The demonic energies converged in the center, revealing an ominous figure.
“ ó ！”
“哦！”
It had six legs and four wings, its skin as red as cinnabar fire, broad mouth with fangs, but no face.
zhòng mó tīng le ， dōu zūn lìng zhào zuò ” xīn zhōng yě shì yī sōng ， yuán lái shì zì jǐ duō xīn ， mó lì bù zú ， zhè wèi qiǎo yún xiǎo jiě shì xiān kǒng pà yě bù céng liào dào de 。
众魔听了，都尊令照做”心中也是一松，原来是自己多心，魔力不足，这位巧芸小姐事先恐怕也不曾料到的。
Chaos!
guò le yuē yī kè zhōng de gōng fu ， zhěng gè zhèn fǎ mó guāng dà zuò ， suí hòu mó qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī kě pà de xū yǐng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
过了约一刻钟的功夫，整个阵法魔光大做，随后魔气往中间一聚，一可怕的虚影出现在视线里。
The ancient demons were greatly alarmed; they recognized the Four Evils of Chaos.
liù zú sì yì ， hún shēn shàng xià de pí fū ， chì rú dān huǒ ， kuò kǒu liáo yá ， què méi yǒu miàn mù 。
六足四翼，浑身上下的皮肤，赤如丹火，阔口獠牙，却没有面目。
Four Spirits and Four Evils are natural enemies. Lin Xuan had many grudges against one of the Four Evils—Diao Hang—but back then his cultivation was too shallow to realize that the Four Evils were from the lower planes, not the spirit realm.
hùn dùn ！
混沌！
In reality, this was a misinterpretation. The Four Evils were true spiritual beasts in the demon realm, with Chaos at the top.
zài chǎng de gǔ mó ， wú bù dà jīng shī sè ， sì xiōng zhī hùn dùn ， tā men rú hé huì rèn bù chū 。
在场的古魔，无不大惊失色，四凶之混沌，他们如何会认不出。
How did Chaos appear here?
sì líng sì xiōng ， nǎi shì sǐ duì tou ， lín xuān jiù yǔ sì xiōng zhōng de dǎo háng ， yǒu guò bù shǎo ēn yuàn de ， zhǐ bù guò nà shí hòu tā xiū wèi shàng qiǎn ， yǐ wéi sì xiōng yě shì líng jiè zhī wù 。
四灵四凶，乃是死对头，林轩就与四凶中的祷杭，有过不少恩怨的，只不过那时候他修为尚浅，以为四凶也是灵界之物。
The ancient demons were shocked. Then, something even more unexpected happened: the figure of Chaos opened its blood-stained mouth and several dozen shadowy figures flew out.
qí shí bù rán ， zhè shì xià wèi jiè miàn de wù chuán 。
其实不然，这是下位界面的误传。
Tongue!
sì xiōng qí shí nǎi shì mó jiè de zhēn líng shén chuán shòu 。
四凶其实乃是魔界的真灵神圌兽。
Legends said that Chaos had hundreds of tongues; this was indeed not a misinterpretation.
ér sì xiōng zé yǐ hùn dùn jū shǒu 。
而四凶则以混沌居首。
They moved too fast for the ancient demons to dodge, being tightly bound by them.
zhè lǐ zěn me huì chū xiàn hùn dùn de xū yǐng ？
这里怎么会出现混沌的虚影？
"Great Lady Qiao Yun, why are you doing this?"
zhòng mó dà jīng shī sè ， rán ér jiē xià lái “ gèng lìng tā men xiǎng bú dào de yí mù fā shēng le ， zhǐ jiàn nà hùn dùn zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， shù shí tiáo xū yǐng cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
众魔大惊失色，然而接下来“更令他们想不到的一幕发生了，只见那混沌张开血盆大口，数十条虚影从里面飞掠而出。
The ancient demons were both shocked and angry. They used their talismans and secret techniques to break free while turning around to loudly question her.
shé tou ！
舌头！
"We have been loyal to Sovereign Demon Ice Soul; why would she secretly attack us?"
chuán shuō hùn dùn de shé tou yǒu shù bǎi tiáo zhī duō ， zhè guǒ rán bú shì wù chuán de 。
传说混沌的舌头有数百条之多，这果然不是误传的。
"It's true, won't you fear retribution from the sovereign if you do this?"
sù dù tài kuài le ， nà xiē gǔ mó gēn běn lái bù jí duǒ ， jiù bèi láo láo chán zhù 。
速度太快了，那些古魔根本来不及躲，就被牢牢缠住。
"Hmph, foolish. I don't need to secretly attack you. As one of the Nine True Demonic Sovereigns, even with a soul-splitting descent here, overcoming the laws of heaven and earth isn't easy; sacrifices are needed..."
“ qiǎo yún dà rén ， nǐ zhè shì wèi hé ？”
“巧芸大人，你这是为何？”
"What?"
zhòng mó yòu jīng yòu nù ， yī biān fǎ bǎo mì shù qí chū ， xiǎng yào zhèng tuō shù fù ， yī biān huí guò tóu ， dà shēng zhì wèn zhe 。
众魔又惊又怒，一边法宝秘术齐出，想要挣脱束缚，一边回过头，大声质问着。
The dozen or so ancient demons showed signs of rage. It was understandable—loyalty to Sovereign Demon Ice Soul meant hard work, but now they were treated as sacrificial offerings. This would anger anyone.
“ wǒ děng duì bīng pò mó zǔ zhōng xīn gěng gěng ， biāo wèi hé yào àn suàn wǒ men ？”，
“我等对冰魄魔祖忠心耿耿，标为何要暗算我们？”，
Demonic energies surged, even manifesting some demonic forms. However, their efforts were in vain; the deep rumbling voice of Chaos dragged them into its wide mouth.
“ bù cuò ， nǐ zhè yàng zuò ， jiù bù pà mó zǔ zhuī jiū me ？”，
“不错，你这样做，就不怕魔祖追究么？”，
The face of the demon maiden showed satisfaction: "Why struggle? You should feel honored to serve our lady."
“ hēng ， yú chǔn ， běn gōng méi yǒu bì yào àn suàn biāo men ， zhǐ shì xiǎo jiě shēn wèi jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， jí shǐ shì fēn hún jiàng lín cǐ chù ， xiǎng yào kè fú tiān dì fǎ zé yě bú shì nà me róng yì de ， xū yào jì pǐn ……”，
“哼，愚蠢，本宫没有必要暗算标们，只是小姐身为九位真魔始祖之一，即使是分魂降临此处，想要克服天地法则也不是那么容易的，需要祭品……”，
But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed something and waved her hand. A demonic blade flew out and slashed at the left side of the void.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
A fiery figure staggered out, looking terrified.
nà shí jǐ gè gǔ mó tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū dà nù yù kuáng zhī sè ， xiǎng xiǎng yě nán guài de ， tā men xiào zhōng bīng pò mó zǔ ， wèi tā bēn bō bàn shì ， jí shǐ méi yǒu gōng láo ， yě shì yǒu kǔ láo de ， kě xiàn zài ， què bèi dàng zuò xuè jì zhī wù ， zhè shì ér fàng dào shuí shēn shàng yě huì nǎo nù yù kuáng le 。
那十几个古魔听了，脸上露出大怒欲狂之色，想想也难怪的，他们效忠冰魄魔祖，为她奔波办事，即使没有功劳，也是有苦劳的，可现在，却被当作血祭之物，这事儿放到谁身上也会恼怒欲狂了。
"Hmph, as expected of a succubus; you are indeed cunning and sly. If you cooperate, Chaos will devour you, sparing you from suffering. Otherwise..."
yī shí zhī jiān ， mó qì dà zuò ， shèn zhì hái yǒu fǎ xiàng fú xiàn ér chū ， kě xī shì tú láo de ， nà hùn dùn chén mèn de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā men quán bù bèi tuō rù le liáo yá kuò kǒu 。
一时之间，魔气大做，甚至还有法相浮现而出，可惜是徒劳的，那混沌沉闷的叫声传入耳朵，他们全部被拖入了獠牙阔口。
Regardless of what she said, the succubus wouldn't surrender. She flashed away, attempting to use some mysterious escape technique. Her race wasn't skilled in combat but had some experience with deception.
nà mó zú shào nǚ de liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ hé bì zhēng zhá ne ， néng wèi wǒ men xiǎo jiě xiào lì nǐ men yīng gāi gǎn dào róng xìng cái duì de 。”，
那魔族少女的脸上露出满意之色：“何必挣扎呢，能为我们小姐效力你们应该感到荣幸才对的。”，
No wonder stone demons were sent out to lead armies; that guy couldn't be used as a sacrifice.
rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ， tā tū rán xiàng shì fā xiàn le shén me ， yù shǒu yī fú ， yī bǐng mó rèn fēi lüè ér chū ， zhǎn xiàng zuǒ cè de xū kōng chù 。
然而话音未落，她突然像是发现了什么，玉手一拂，一柄魔刃飞掠而出，斩像左侧的虚空处。
The succubus thought hatefully and ran faster.
guāng yùn yī shǎn ， yī shēn cái rě huǒ de mó nǚ liàng qiàng zhe diē luò chū lái ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng huáng zhī sè 。
光晕一闪，一身材惹火的魔女踉跄着跌落出来，脸上满是惊惶之色。
However, spatial fluctuations appeared, and the Chaos figure strangely appeared before her. It opened its mouth, swallowing her like she was committing suicide. This demonstrated the formidable strength of this Chaos shadow.
This truly qualifies as a heavenly spirit object.
At first, the ancient demon was shocked to see ginseng. Now, they were all obediently keeping silent.
If it were a precious object with hundreds of thousands of years of age, naturally, it could be used for soul swapping.
However, such things wouldn't exist in lower planes; did Sovereign Demon Ice Soul originally plan to split his soul and descend here? Could this spirit ginseng have been brought from the Holy Realm?
