rán ér shì shí bǎi zài yǎn qián ， xiǎng yào fǒu rèn ， yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， nà shù yǐ yì jì de xuè huǒ yǐ ， yǐ pū tiān gài dì de chōng shàng lái le 。い suí ┆ mèng ┆ xiǎo ┆ shuō ,.com
然而事实摆在眼前，想要否认，也没有用处，那数以亿计的血火蚁，已铺天盖地的冲上来了。い随┆夢┆小┆說,.com
However, the facts were staring him in the face. There was no denying it; those countless Bloodfire Ants had already surged forward like a tide.
nà nǚ zǐ yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yuàn dú ， yòu shǒu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò ， tiān láng zhū tóng yàng hàn bù wèi sǐ de pū shàng qù le 。
那女子眼中闪过一丝怨毒，右手一道法诀打出，嗡鸣声大做，天狼蛛同样悍不畏死的扑上去了。
A look of hatred flashed across the woman's eyes as she cast a spell with her right hand. The sound of buzzing filled the air as the Skywolf Spider, just as fearless, charged forward.
liǎng duǒ chóng yún hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， zhè yī cì ， shuāng fāng jiē shì jié jìn le quán lì 。
两朵虫云狠狠的撞在一起，这一次，双方皆是竭尽了全力。
The two insect clouds collided fiercely, both parties exerting all their strength this time.
lín xuān zì rán méi yǒu zài xiù shǒu páng guān yī shuō ， fǒu zé xuè huǒ yǐ jí biàn zuì hòu qǔ dé shèng lì ， kěn dìng yě shì cǎn shèng ér yǐ 。
林轩自然没有再袖手旁观一说，否则血火蚁即便最后取得胜利，肯定也是惨胜而已。
Lin Xuan naturally couldn't remain idle any longer; otherwise, even if the Bloodfire Ants won in the end, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Such a result was something Lin Xuan didn't want to see.
nà yàng de jié guǒ ， lín xuān zì rán bù yuàn yì 。
那样的结果，林轩自然不愿意。
His expression turned grave as he reached into his waistband and pulled out a small bell. The bell was no more than a foot tall, with a purple surface adorned with various mysterious patterns and faintly visible talismans emanating from it.
tā de liǎn sè yán sù wú bǐ ， shēn shǒu xiàng yāo jiān mō qù ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yì qǐ ， yī kǒu xiǎo zhōng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ ， gāo bù guò chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn zuò zǐ sè ， gè zhǒng huā wén shén mì gǔ piáo ， hái yǒu fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó 。
他的脸色严肃无比，伸手像腰间摸去，只见灵光一起，一口小钟出现在了视线里，高不过尺许，表面做紫色，各种花纹神秘古朴，还有符文若隐若现的喷薄。
At this moment, the Hundred-Spirit Bell would naturally be able to unleash its full power.
zhè zhǒng shí kè ， bǎi líng zhōng zì rán néng gòu dà zhǎn shén wēi de 。
这种时刻，百灵钟自然能够大展神威的。
One needed to know that while this treasure had no effect on cultivators, it specifically targeted spirit insects.
yào xiǎo de ， cǐ bǎo duì xiū shì gǔ miào ， suī rán méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dàn què zhuān mén néng gòu kè zhì líng chóng 。
要晓得，此宝对修士古庙，虽然没有效果，但却专门能够克制灵虫。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and silently channeled the Treasure Conduit Technique. His index finger and thumb curled slightly as he lightly tapped the bell.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， mò yùn tōng bǎo jué ， shí zhǐ yǔ mǔ zhǐ wēi qū ， chōng zhe cǐ bǎo qīng kòu le shàng qù 。
林轩右手抬起，默运通宝诀，食指与拇指微曲，冲着此宝轻扣了上去。
"Wonk."
“ wēng 。”
“嗡。”
The ancient sound of the bell entered his ears. As Lin Xuan tapped the bell, a thick light screen enveloped her, but it was ineffective. The screen seemed sturdy, yet Lin Xuan's newly refined treasure cut through it like cutting through tofu.
gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de dàn zǐ sè bō làng yǐ cǐ zhōng wèi zhōng xīn ， yī quān quān dàng yàng ér chū ， xiàng zhe qián fāng de chóng yún jī dá 【 shén 】 shè 。
古朴的钟声传入耳朵，随着林轩的动作，肉眼可见的淡紫色波浪以此钟为中心，一圈圈荡漾而出，像着前方的虫云激龘【榊】射。
Blood splattered as the woman's head was severed. Lin Xuan nodded with relief; his prediction had been correct. This demon was merely controlled and hadn't gained any strength or power.
bù guǎn shì tiān láng zhū ， hái shì xuè huǒ yǐ ， dōu méi yǒu xìng miǎn yī shuō ， bèi zǐ sè de bō làng bāo guǒ 。
不管是天狼蛛，还是血火蚁，都没有幸免一说，被紫色的波浪包裹。
Eliminating a Separation Period ancient demon seemed meaningless, but in reality, it wasn't. With this woman's demise, the Skywolf Spiders became even more disorganized. It made sense since they were previously led by someone, but now there was no one to command them.
rán ér liǎng zhě de mìng yùn ， què shì wán quán bù tóng 。
然而两者的命运，却是完全不同。
Despite that, it took Lin Xuan nearly half an hour to thoroughly defeat and consume the Bloodfire Ants. He didn't spare a single insect corpse on the ground; instead, he devoured everything like autumn winds sweeping leaves.
xuè huǒ yǐ suī rán zhì shēn yīn bō zhī zhōng ， què bìng wú bù tuǒ ， lín xuān zì jǐ de zhāo shù ， zěn me huì wù shāng jì chū qù de qí chóng ， yóu yú yǒu zì jǐ shén shí yìn jì de yuán gù ， tā men zhī jiān yuán běn gāi shòu dào de shāng hài ， yě huì yǒu huò miǎn de 。
血火蚁虽然置身音波之中，却并无不妥，林轩自己的招数，怎么会误伤祭出去的奇虫，由于有自己神识印记的缘故，他们之间原本该受到的伤害，也会有豁免的。
The massive insect cloud then retreated as if flowing backward into the Ten Thousand Souls Tower.
rán ér tiān láng zhū ， kě jiù méi yǒu zhè yàng de dài yù ， bèi zhèn dé qī líng bā luò ， shēng bō shì dà fàn wéi gōng jī ， yòng lái duì fù chóng yún ， shì zuì hé shì bù guò 。
然而天狼蛛，可就没有这样的待遇，被震得七零八落，声波是大范围攻击，用来对付虫云，是最合适不过。
Rumble!
suī rán yóu yú fēn sàn de yuán gù ， měi yī zhī tiān láng zhū suǒ shòu dào de shāng hài ， qí shí shì yǒu xiàn de 。
虽然由于分散的缘故，每一只天狼蛛所受到的伤害，其实是有限的。
Thunderous sounds echoed in his ears as dark energy surged to the left. Initially, this phenomenon was somewhat concealed, but since Lin Xuan discovered it, it had become brazen.
rán ér sú huà shuō ， chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， yuán běn liǎng duǒ chóng yún hái shì jūn lì dí ， cǐ kè tōng tiān líng bǎo bǎi líng zhōng de jiā rù ， què jiāng zhè zhǒng píng héng dǎ pò ， xuè huǒ yǐ kāi shǐ fā wēi le ， xī xī suǒ suǒ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān láng zhū rú yǔ diǎn bān zài tiān kōng zhōng zhuì luò ， hěn kuài ， dì shàng jiù bèi zhè zhǒng mó chóng de shī tǐ tián mǎn le 。
然而俗话说，差之毫厘谬以千里，原本两朵虫云还势均力敌，此刻通天灵宝百灵钟的加入，却将这种平衡打破，血火蚁开始发威了，悉悉索索的声音传入耳朵，天狼蛛如雨点般在天空中坠落，很快，地上就被这种魔虫的尸体填满了。
"What is this change..."
kě wù ！
可恶！
Lin Xuan muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing slightly. For some reason, he felt an ominous sensation deep within him, suggesting that staying here would be foolish. He should leave immediately.
nà mó nǚ yòu jīng yòu nù ， rán ér què yì diǎn bàn fǎ dōu méi yǒu 。
那魔女又惊又怒，然而却一点办法都没有。
Lin Xuan couldn't explain where this feeling came from but didn't dare underestimate it. After all, even though he couldn't predict the future at his level, omens were quite reliable.
wēi jī hái bù jǐn yú cǐ ， lín xuān yǐ tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhù yì dào tā le 。
危机还不仅于此，林轩已抬起头颅，注意到她了。
However, leaving now seemed too unsatisfactory.
xiù páo yī fú ， shù bǐng xiān jiàn cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， suí hòu yī shǎn ， mì mì má má de jiàn guāng cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái ， lián chéng yī dào pǐ liàn ， rú zhǎng jīng qǔ shuǐ yì bān ， dāng tóu xiàng tā zhǎn là xià lái 。
袖袍一拂，数柄仙剑从衣袖中鱼游而出，随后一闪，密密麻麻的剑光从里面喷薄出来，连成一道匹练，如长鲸取水一般，当头像她斩落下来。
"Alright, I'll just be more cautious and retreat if anything goes wrong."
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before making this decision. He then emitted a faint green glow as he flew toward the direction of the dark energy.
nà nǚ zǐ yòu shǒu shēn chū ， zài yāo jiān yī mǒ ， yī hēi hū hū dùn pái fēi lüè ér chū ， xùn sù huà wèi yī dào níng hòu guāng mù ， jiāng tā quán shēn hù zhù ， kě méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， nà guāng mù kàn shì jiān gù ， rán ér lín xuān xīn liàn de bǎo wù hé děng liǎo de ， rú qiè dòu fǔ ， jiù jiāng tā qiè kāi le 。
那女子右手伸出，在腰间一抹，一黑乎乎盾牌飞掠而出，迅速化为一道凝厚光幕，将她全身护住，可没有效果，那光幕看似坚固，然而林轩新炼的宝物何等了得，如切豆腐，就将它切开了。
After not long, Lin Xuan arrived at his destination—a small mountain peak to the west side of the space, no taller than a hundred feet.
xuè huā bèng jiàn ， cǐ nǚ yǐ bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú ， lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī kuān wèi zhī sè ， zì jǐ suǒ liào guǒ rán méi cuò ， cǐ mó bù guò shì bèi kòng zhì le ， xiū wèi fǎ lì ， bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ zēng jiā bàn diǎn de 。
血花迸溅，此女已被取下了头颅，林轩点了点头，脸上闪过一丝宽慰之色，自己所料果然没错，此魔不过是被控制了，修为法力，并没有因此增加半点的。
However, what caught his attention was in front of the mountain.
miè shā yī lí hé qī gǔ mó ， kàn shì méi yǒu duō dà de yì yì ， rán ér zhēn 【 shén 】 shí de qíng kuàng què bìng fēi rú cǐ ， suí zhe cǐ nǚ yǔn luò ， tiān láng zhū yuè fā de kuì bù chéng jūn ， zhè yě shì nán guài de ， gāng gāng hái yǒu rén zhǐ huī cāo kòng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què shì qún lóng wú shǒu 。
灭杀一离合期古魔，看似没有多大的意义，然而真【榊】实的情况却并非如此，随着此女陨落，天狼蛛越发的溃不成军，这也是难怪的，刚刚还有人指挥操控，此时此刻，却是群龙无首。
There, a huge ancient demon hovered. It stood over ten feet tall with two heads and four arms, its appearance terrifyingly fierce. This creature was attracting all the dark energy from around it. More bizarrely, as these energies approached this entity, they began to coalesce into liquid form.
bù guò ráo shì rú cǐ ， xuè huǒ yǐ hái shì huā fèi le xiǎo bàn gè shí chén de gōng fu ， cái jiāng qí chè dǐ jī kuì ， huò zhě zhèng què de shuō ， shì wán quán tūn shì diào le ， suí hòu lián dì shàng de chóng shī yě bù fàng guò ， rú tóng qiū fēng sǎo luò yè yī yàng ， jiāng qí tūn shì dé yī gān èr jìng le 。
不过饶是如此，血火蚁还是花费了小半个时辰的功夫，才将其彻底击溃，或者正确的说，是完全吞噬掉了，随后连地上的虫尸也不放过，如同秋风扫落叶一样，将其吞噬得一干二净了。
Drops of dark liquid gathered together, forming a huge water ball that enveloped the ancient demon.
suí hòu ruò dà de chóng yún rú jiāng hé dào liú yì bān ， huí dào le wàn hún tǎ lǐ miàn 。
随后若大的虫云如江河倒流一般，回到了万魂塔里面。
Rumble!
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
The sound came from inside the demon's body.
mèn léi shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr biān 。
闷雷声不停的传入耳边。
Such an anomaly surprised Lin Xuan, and his eyes glowed silver as he used his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to its fullest extent. However, what he saw was blurry; he only knew that this entity was being continuously reinforced by pure dark energy...
sì zhōu de mó qì ， xiàng zhe zuǒ cè fēng yōng ér qù ， yuán běn zhè yī yì xiàng ， hái yǒu xiē zhē zhē yǎn yǎn ， rán ér zì cóng lín xuān fā xiàn yǐ hòu ， jiù biàn dé sì wú jì dàn 。
四周的魔气，向着左侧蜂拥而去，原本这一异象，还有些遮遮掩掩，然而自从林轩发现以后，就变得肆无忌惮。
"Could it be..."
“ zhè biàn huà ， jiū jìng shì shén me ……”
“这变化，究竟是什么……”
Lin Xuan wasn't foolish. After thinking about the events, he vaguely guessed that a powerful demon or monster was sealed here, and all these actions were for possession—finding a suitable body.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn jīng yě wēi wēi mī qǐ lái le ， bù zhī wèi hé ， tā nèi xīn shēn chù ， jìng yǐn yǐn yǒu zhǒng bù miào de gǎn jué ， sì hū jì xù dòu liú zài cǐ dì ， shì fēi cháng yú chǔn de ， gǎn kuài lí kāi cái shì zhèng què xuǎn zé 。
林轩喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，眼睛也微微眯起来了，不知为何，他内心深处，竟隐隐有种不妙的感觉，似乎继续逗留在此地，是非常愚蠢的，赶快离开才是正确选择。
Even the woman earlier had been controlled by him.
lín xuān yě shuō bù qīng chǔ zhè gǎn jué shì cóng hé ér lái ， dàn yě bù gǎn tài guò qīng shì ， bì jìng shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， suī bù néng wèi bǔ xiān zhī ， dàn yī xiē xīn tóu líng zhào ， nà yě shì fēi cháng líng yàn dì 。
林轩也说不清楚这感觉是从何而来，但也不敢太过轻视，毕竟实力到了他这个等级，虽不能未卜先知，但一些心头灵兆，那也是非常灵验地。
Knowing the entire story, Lin Xuan wouldn't just stand there idly.
bù guò jiù cǐ lí qù ， yòu zhe shí xīn yǒu bù gān 。
不过就此离去，又着实心有不甘。
He waved his sleeves and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword reappeared. It flashed through the air as it closed in on the demon's body, transforming into a giant sword over ten feet long, which he swung down at the demon.
“ yě bà ， dà bù liǎo xiǎo xīn yī xiē ， ruò yǒu bù tuǒ ， lì kè chōu shēn chè lí 。”
“也罢，大不了小心一些，若有不妥，立刻抽身撤离。”
The creature wanted a suitable body? He would destroy it first—this was a strategy to cut off the root.
lín xuān lüè yī chóu chú ， suí hòu jiù zuò xià zhè yàng de jué dìng le 。
林轩略一踌躇，随后就做下这样的决定了。
Lin Xuan's plan was sound, but actually doing so wasn't as easy as imagined.
rán hòu tā hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng zhe nà mó qì jù jí de fāng xiàng fēi qù 。
然后他浑身青芒一起，向着那魔气聚集的方向飞去。
A flash of light revealed an energy column shooting out from behind the mountain peak. A light screen appeared and blocked his giant sword.
mò guò duō jiǔ ， lín xuān jiù lái dào le mù dì dì ， zhè lǐ wèi yú zhěng gè xiǎo kōng jiān de xī cè ， yǒu yī zuò xiǎo shān fēng ， gāo bù guò bǎi zhàng yú 。
没过多久，林轩就来到了目的地，这里位于整个小空间的西侧，有一座小山峰，高不过百丈余。
"Damn!"
rán ér lín xuān zhù yì de ， què shì cǐ shān de qián miàn 。
然而林轩注意的，却是此山的前面。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes but didn't retreat; instead, he poured more magical power into the sword.
zhǐ jiàn nà lǐ ， xuán fú zhe yī jù dà de gǔ mó 。
只见那里，悬浮着一巨大的古魔。
However, this time it was ineffective. The light screen blocked his attack.
gāo zú yǒu shí zhàng yú ， shuāng tóu sì bì ， xíng mào zhēng níng wú bǐ ， zhèng shì tā ， zài xī yǐn zhe sì miàn bā fāng de mó qì ， gèng jiā guǐ yì de shì ， nà xiē mó qì ， dào dá cǐ mó wù de fù jìn yǐ hòu ， lì kè kāi shǐ níng jù ， zuì hòu jìng rán yóu qì tǐ biàn chéng le yè tǐ 。
高足有十丈余，双头四臂，形貌狰狞无比，正是它，在吸引着四面八方的魔气，更加诡异的是，那些魔气，到达此魔物的附近以后，立刻开始凝聚，最后竟然由气体变成了液体。
"Why is that?"
yī dī yī dī de mó yè yòu jù jí zài yì qǐ ， suí hòu biàn chéng yī jù dà de shuǐ qiú ， jiāng nà gǔ mó bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn 。
一滴一滴的魔液又聚集在一起，随后变成一巨大的水球，将那古魔包裹在里面。
Lin Xuan roared with anger and didn't stop there. His divine swords flew about, attacking fiercely from all directions. However, each strike was blocked by the suddenly appearing light screen. Although the screen seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Lin Xuan's attacks always found no way through.
mèn léi bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jū rán shì cóng zhè mó qū de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn sàn fà chū lái de 。
闷雷般的声音传入耳朵，居然是从这魔躯的身体里面散发出来的。
Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim as he considered using his Soul-Sucking Sword. After all, in terms of offensive power, his newly refined innate treasure couldn't compare with the Heavenly Treasure.
zhè yàng de yì jǐng ， zì rán ràng lín xuān dà wèi chī jīng ， yǎn zhōng yín máng dà qǐ ， jiāng tiān fèng shén mù shī zhǎn dào jí zhì ， rán ér ， suǒ kàn dào de ， yě hěn mó hú ， zhǐ zhī dào zhè qū tǐ ， zhèng yóu jīng chún de mó 【 shén 】 lì ， bù tíng de qiáng huà zhe ……。
这样的异景，自然让林轩大为吃惊，眼中银芒大起，将天凤神目施展到极致，然而，所看到的，也很模糊，只知道这躯体，正由精纯的魔【榊】力，不停的强化着……。
However, just then, a loud roar echoed, much louder than before. The liquid dark energy was sucked into the demon's body. A purple figure appeared and laughed loudly. This purple figure transformed into a streak of light that merged with the demon's body.
“ nán dào shuō ”，…”
“难道说”，…”
Possession!
lín xuān bù shǎ ， xiǎng xiǎng suǒ fā shēng de yí mù ， yǐn yǐn yǐ cāi dào le ， zhè lǐ fēng yìn zhe hěn lì hài de yāo mó ， suǒ zuò de yī qiè ， dōu shì wèi le duó shě ， wèi zì jǐ zhǎo yī hé shì de qū tǐ bà le 。
林轩不傻，想想所发生的一幕，隐隐已猜到了，这里封印着很厉害的妖魔，所做的一切，都是为了夺舍，为自己找一合适的躯体罢了。
No, this wasn't accurate; the original owner's soul had long been erased. At this moment, it was merely an invasion.
shèn zhì gāng cái nà mó nǚ ， yě shì yóu tā cāo kòng 。
甚至刚才那魔女，也是由他操控。
Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim as he stopped attacking with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and instead flew back to hover around his body in a defensive formation.
jì rán míng bái liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zài zhè lǐ fā dāi zhàn zhe 。
既然明白了事情的始末，林轩当然不会在这里发呆站着。
After all, he hadn't managed to destroy the demon's body before; attacking again now would be futile.
xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zài cì fēi lüè ér chū ， yíng fēng yī shǎn ， wàng zhōng jiān yī hé ， biàn chéng yī bǐng shí yú zhàng zhǎng de jù jiàn ， xiàng zhe nà mó qū zhǎn luò 。
袖袍一拂，九宫须臾剑再次飞掠而出，迎风一闪，望中间一合，变成一柄十余丈长的巨剑，向着那魔躯斩落。
Not wanting to take unnecessary risks, Lin Xuan didn't act. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
duì fāng bú shì xiǎng yào hé shì de qū tǐ me ， zì jǐ jiù jiāng tā gěi xiān huǐ le ， cǐ nǎi fǔ dǐ chōu xīn zhī cè 。
对方不是想要合适的躯体么，自己就将他给先毁了，此乃釜底抽薪之策。
Roar!
lín xuān dǎ suàn bù cuò ， rán ér zhēn yào zhè me zuò ， què bìng fēi xiǎng xiàng de nà yàng róng yì 。
林轩打算不错，然而真要这么做，却并非想象的那样容易。
A beast-like roar echoed as the monster opened its eyes, revealing a grayish-white color. When Lin Xuan met its gaze, he inexplicably shuddered.
guāng huá yī shǎn ， yī dào guāng zhù cóng bèi hòu de shān fēng pēn bó chū lái suí hòu yī dào guāng mù xiǎn xiàn ， píng kōng dǎng zài lín xuān de jù jiàn miàn qián 。
光华一闪，一道光柱从背后的山峰喷薄出来随后一道光幕显现，凭空挡在林轩的巨剑面前。
However, this wasn't over; cracking sounds filled the air as the creature's body was enveloped by black energy and began to change. However, what exactly it was changing into, Lin Xuan didn't know. Whether with his divine sense or Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, any contact with that black energy around him would be repelled.
pēng ！
嘭！
However, its aura was rapidly rising.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， bìng méi yǒu tuì bì ， fǎn ér wǎng jù jiàn lǐ zhù rù gèng duō de fǎ lì 。
林轩眼睛微眯，并没有退避，反而往巨剑里注入更多的法力。
Originally at Separation Period, the Transcendence barrier for this entity was just a cloud; he quickly broke through and continued to rise.
kě zhè yī cì méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， nà guāng mù jū rán jiāng zì jǐ de gōng jī dǎng zhù 。
可这一次没有效果，那光幕居然将自己的攻击挡住。
In less than ten breaths, it reached Transcendence Middle Stage. After some time, it even reached late-stage Transcendence. In terms of realm, it was on par with Lin Xuan.
“ zěn me huì ne ？”
“怎么会呢？”
Such a development was unheard of, and Lin Xuan finally realized that the demon sealed here must be an outstanding figure. This explained why he had felt those omens earlier.
lín xuān dà nù ， zì rán méi yǒu jiù cǐ bà shǒu yī shuō ， xiān jiàn zòng héng fēi wǔ ， héng kǎn shù pī ， gōng jī kuáng měng wú bǐ ， rán ér měi yī xià ， dōu bèi tū rán chū xiàn de guāng mù dǎng zhù ， nà guāng mù kàn shàng qù ， míng míng yǐ jīng yáo yáo yù zhuì le ， rán ér piān piān měi yī cì ， lín xuān de gōng jī ， dōu ná tā mò nài hé 。
林轩大怒，自然没有就此罢手一说，仙剑纵横飞舞，横砍竖劈，攻击狂猛无比，然而每一下，都被突然出现的光幕挡住，那光幕看上去，明明已经摇摇欲坠了，然而偏偏每一次，林轩的攻击，都拿他没奈何。
With this situation, staying any longer would clearly be disadvantageous for him. Lin Xuan prepared to leave but noticed that the demon's aura stopped rising.
lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn dào jí chù ， zhèng xiǎng yào jiāng shì líng jiàn jì chū ， bì jìng jiù gōng jī lì lái shuō ， zì jǐ xīn liàn de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， hái shì yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ tōng tiān líng bǎo xiāng tí bìng lùn de 。
林轩的脸色难看到极处，正想要将噬灵剑祭出，毕竟就攻击力来说，自己新炼的本命法宝，还是远远没有办法与通天灵宝相提并论的。
"Hmph, still too weak at the core; even after strengthening, it can only bear late-stage Transcendence. To restore my former glory, I need to find some celestial treasures and re-energize this body several times."
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yī shēng jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bǐ gāng gāng nà mèn léi bān de shēng yīn dà dé duō ， suí hòu ， nà xiē yè tài huà de mó qì ， quán bù bèi cǐ mó xī jìn le shēn tǐ ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， yī dào zǐ sè de shēn yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， hā hā dà xiào zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， nà zǐ yǐng huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， róng rù le mó qū zhī zhōng 。
然而就在此刻，一声巨响声传入耳朵，比刚刚那闷雷般的声音大得多，随后，那些液态化的魔气，全部被此魔吸进了身体，不仅如此，一道紫色的身影浮现而出，哈哈大笑之声不绝于耳朵，那紫影化为一道惊虹，融入了魔躯之中。
A clear voice echoed in his ears. Perhaps due to not speaking for a long time, it sounded somewhat raw. However, Lin Xuan was stunned.
duó shě ！
夺舍！
What did that guy just say—Sage Ancestor?
bù ， zhè yàng de shuō fǎ ， qí shí bìng bù zhǔn què ， nà shà qū yuán zhǔ rén de hún pò ， zǎo jiù bèi mǒ qù le ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bù guò shì qīn zhàn ér yǐ 。
不，这样的说法，其实并不准确，那厦躯原主人的魂魄，早就被抹去了，此时此刻，不过是侵占而已。
He was actually an ancient demon Sage Ancestor?
lín xuān de liǎn sè nán kàn yǐ jí ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn méi yǒu jì xù gōng jī ， ér shì dào fēi huí lái ， zài tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi pán xuán fēi wǔ ， chéng xiàn chū fáng yù xíng tài 。
林轩的脸色难看以极，九宫须臾剑没有继续攻击，而是倒飞回来，在他身体周围盘旋飞舞，呈现出防御形态。
Lin Xuan knew what this meant; ancient demons could only gain such titles after reaching the Tribulation Period. Lin Xuan never imagined that a figure of such importance would be sealed here.
bì jìng ， gāng cái dōu méi néng jiāng mó qū huǐ ， cǐ kè zài gōng jī ， nà gèng shì bái fèi lì qì 。
毕竟，刚才都没能将魔躯毁，此刻再攻击，那更是白费力气。
Despite temporarily regaining late-stage Transcendence strength due to the body's limitations, Lin Xuan didn't underestimate him. Such an existence had far more experience and divine powers than he could ever hope to match.
However, the facts were staring him in the face. There was no denying it; those countless Bloodfire Ants had already surged forward like a tide.
"Damn!"
A look of hatred flashed across the woman's eyes as she cast a spell with her right hand. The sound of buzzing filled the air as the Skywolf Spider, just as fearless, charged forward.
The two insect clouds collided fiercely, both parties exerting all their strength this time.
Lin Xuan naturally couldn't remain idle any longer; otherwise, even if the Bloodfire Ants won in the end, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Such a result was something Lin Xuan didn't want to see.
His expression turned grave as he reached into his waistband and pulled out a small bell. The bell was no more than a foot tall, with a purple surface adorned with various mysterious patterns and faintly visible talismans emanating from it.
At this moment, the Hundred-Spirit Bell would naturally be able to unleash its full power.
One needed to know that while this treasure had no effect on cultivators, it specifically targeted spirit insects.
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and silently channeled the Treasure Conduit Technique. His index finger and thumb curled slightly as he lightly tapped the bell.
"Wonk."
The ancient sound of the bell entered his ears. As Lin Xuan tapped the bell, a thick light screen enveloped her, but it was ineffective. The screen seemed sturdy, yet Lin Xuan's newly refined treasure cut through it like cutting through tofu.
Blood splattered as the woman's head was severed. Lin Xuan nodded with relief; his prediction had been correct. This demon was merely controlled and hadn't gained any strength or power.
Eliminating a Separation Period ancient demon seemed meaningless, but in reality, it wasn't. With this woman's demise, the Skywolf Spiders became even more disorganized. It made sense since they were previously led by someone, but now there was no one to command them.
Despite that, it took Lin Xuan nearly half an hour to thoroughly defeat and consume the Bloodfire Ants. He didn't spare a single insect corpse on the ground; instead, he devoured everything like autumn winds sweeping leaves.
The massive insect cloud then retreated as if flowing backward into the Ten Thousand Souls Tower.
Rumble!
Thunderous sounds echoed in his ears as dark energy surged to the left. Initially, this phenomenon was somewhat concealed, but since Lin Xuan discovered it, it had become brazen.
"What is this change..."
Lin Xuan muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing slightly. For some reason, he felt an ominous sensation deep within him, suggesting that staying here would be foolish. He should leave immediately.
Lin Xuan couldn't explain where this feeling came from but didn't dare underestimate it. After all, even though he couldn't predict the future at his level, omens were quite reliable.
However, leaving now seemed too unsatisfactory.
"Alright, I'll just be more cautious and retreat if anything goes wrong."
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before making this decision. He then emitted a faint green glow as he flew toward the direction of the dark energy.
After not long, Lin Xuan arrived at his destination—a small mountain peak to the west side of the space, no taller than a hundred feet.
However, what caught his attention was in front of the mountain.
There, a huge ancient demon hovered. It stood over ten feet tall with two heads and four arms, its appearance terrifyingly fierce. This creature was attracting all the dark energy from around it. More bizarrely, as these energies approached this entity, they began to coalesce into liquid form.
Drops of dark liquid gathered together, forming a huge water ball that enveloped the ancient demon.
Rumble!
The sound came from inside the demon's body.
Such an anomaly surprised Lin Xuan, and his eyes glowed silver as he used his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to its fullest extent. However, what he saw was blurry; he only knew that this entity was being continuously reinforced by pure dark energy...
"Could it be..."
Lin Xuan wasn't foolish. After thinking about the events, he vaguely guessed that a powerful demon or monster was sealed here, and all these actions were for possession—finding a suitable body.
Even the woman earlier had been controlled by him.
Knowing the entire story, Lin Xuan wouldn't just stand there idly.
He waved his sleeves and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword reappeared. It flashed through the air as it closed in on the demon's body, transforming into a giant sword over ten feet long, which he swung down at the demon.
The creature wanted a suitable body? He would destroy it first—this was a strategy to cut off the root.
Lin Xuan's plan was sound, but actually doing so wasn't as easy as imagined.
A flash of light revealed an energy column shooting out from behind the mountain peak. A light screen appeared and blocked his giant sword.
"Damn!"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes but didn't retreat; instead, he poured more magical power into the sword.
However, this time it was ineffective. The light screen blocked his attack.
"Why is that?"
Lin Xuan roared with anger and didn't stop there. His divine swords flew about, attacking fiercely from all directions. However, each strike was blocked by the suddenly appearing light screen. Although the screen seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Lin Xuan's attacks always found no way through.
Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim as he considered using his Soul-Sucking Sword. After all, in terms of offensive power, his newly refined innate treasure couldn't compare with the Heavenly Treasure.
However, just then, a loud roar echoed, much louder than before. The liquid dark energy was sucked into the demon's body. A purple figure appeared and laughed loudly. This purple figure transformed into a streak of light that merged with the demon's body.
Possession!
No, this wasn't accurate; the original owner's soul had long been erased. At this moment, it was merely an invasion.
Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim as he stopped attacking with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword and instead flew back to hover around his body in a defensive formation.
After all, he hadn't managed to destroy the demon's body before; attacking again now would be futile.
Not wanting to take unnecessary risks, Lin Xuan didn't act. The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Roar!
A beast-like roar echoed as the monster opened its eyes, revealing a grayish-white color. When Lin Xuan met its gaze, he inexplicably shuddered.
However, this wasn't over; cracking sounds filled the air as the creature's body was enveloped by black energy and began to change. However, what exactly it was changing into, Lin Xuan didn't know. Whether with his divine sense or Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, any contact with that black energy around him would be repelled.
However, its aura was rapidly rising.
Originally at Separation Period, the Transcendence barrier for this entity was just a cloud; he quickly broke through and continued to rise.
In less than ten breaths, it reached Transcendence Middle Stage. After some time, it even reached late-stage Transcendence. In terms of realm, it was on par with Lin Xuan.
Such a development was unheard of, and Lin Xuan finally realized that the demon sealed here must be an outstanding figure. This explained why he had felt those omens earlier.
With this situation, staying any longer would clearly be disadvantageous for him. Lin Xuan prepared to leave but noticed that the demon's aura stopped rising.
"Hmph, still too weak at the core; even after strengthening, it can only bear late-stage Transcendence. To restore my former glory, I need to find some celestial treasures and re-energize this body several times."
A clear voice echoed in his ears. Perhaps due to not speaking for a long time, it sounded somewhat raw. However, Lin Xuan was stunned.
What did that guy just say—Sage Ancestor?
He was actually an ancient demon Sage Ancestor?
Lin Xuan knew what this meant; ancient demons could only gain such titles after reaching the Tribulation Period. Lin Xuan never imagined that a figure of such importance would be sealed here.
Despite temporarily regaining late-stage Transcendence strength due to the body's limitations, Lin Xuan didn't underestimate him. Such an existence had far more experience and divine powers than he could ever hope to match.
