“ xiǎng zǒu ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì ？”
“想走，哪有那么容易？”
"Want to leave? It's not that easy."
shén mì shào nián hēi hēi lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， suí hòu bù huāng bù máng de xiàng qián kuà chū yī bù ， qǐng kè jiān yě nuó yí le qiān zhàng de jù lí 。 shuō ，.Com
神秘少年嘿嘿冷笑的声音传入耳朵里，随后不慌不忙的向前跨出一步，顷刻间也挪移了千丈的距离。說，.Com
The mysterious youth sneered, his voice seeping into Lin Xuan's ears. Then he took a step forward without rushing, instantly moving thousands of feet.
bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu lín xuān yí gè rén huì shùn yí 。
并非只有林轩一个人会瞬移。
Not only could Lin Xuan use instant teleportation; as one of the Nine True Demons Ancestors, he had a deep understanding of spatial forces despite not fully grasping space laws. Even with his current weakened state and new body at the Void Profound Stage, his teleportation was still incredibly subtle...
zuò wèi jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， tā suī rán méi néng wán quán cān tòu kōng jiān fǎ zé ， dàn duì kōng jiān zhī lì de lǐ jiě ， yě yuǎn fēi lín xuān suǒ néng qǐ jí 。
做为九位真魔始祖之一，他虽然没能完全参透空间法则，但对空间之力的理解，也远非林轩所能企及。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened; he couldn't afford any carelessness. He enveloped himself in a burst of green light and charged towards the top of the mountain.
suī rán cǐ kè shí lì dà sǔn ， xīn de ròu shēn yě zhǐ yǒu dòng xuán qī ， dàn shī zhǎn chū shùn yí ， yī jiù xuán miào wú bǐ ……。
虽然此刻实力大损，新的肉身也只有洞玄期，但施展出瞬移，依旧玄妙无比……。
Boom!
lín xuān liǎn sè yī chén ， nǎ gǎn yǒu bàn fēn dà yì ， hún shēn qīng guāng pēn bó ， jiāng zì jǐ de zhěng gè shēn tǐ bāo guǒ ， hěn hěn de xiàng tóu dǐng zhuàng qù le 。
林轩脸色一沉，哪敢有半分大意，浑身青光喷薄，将自己的整个身体包裹，狠狠的像头顶撞去了。
A loud explosion echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears as rocks and sand splattered everywhere. A streak of green light emerged from the ground, soaring into the clouds.
hōng ！
轰！
However, just as quickly, another sharp sound pierced his ears—this ancient demon ancestor was following him like a shadow.
bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suì shí shā lì sì jiàn pēn bó ， yī dào qīng guāng pò tǔ ér chū ， zhí chōng rù yún xiāo zhī chù 。
爆裂声传入耳朵，碎石沙粒四溅喷薄，一道青光破土而出，直冲入云霄之处。
Unlike Lin Xuan's hasty retreat, this guy moved with great grace and ease.
rán ér xià yī kè ， yòu yī jiān ruì de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， jū rán rú yǐng suí xíng de zhuī shàng lái le 。
然而下一刻，又一尖锐的破空声传入耳朵，那古魔圣祖，居然如影随形的追上来了。
"Little fellow, where can you run? Surrender quietly. I could let your soul reincarnate if you wish... Otherwise..."
ér qiě yǔ lín xuān lüè xiǎn láng bèi de táo cuàn xiāng bǐ ， zhè jiā huo de dòng zuò shén tài dōu xiāo sǎ yǐ jí 。
而且与林轩略显狼狈的逃窜相比，这家伙的动作神态都潇洒以极。
The other’s threatening words reached his ears, but Lin Xuan ignored them. He flicked his sleeves, and dozens of magical runes appeared in the air, forming a protective barrier around him.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ néng táo dào nǎ lǐ ， guāi guāi de shù shǒu jiù fù ， běn shèng zǔ bú shì bù kě yǐ fàng nǐ de hún pò tóu tāi zhuǎn shì de ， fǒu zé ……。”
“小家伙，你能逃到哪里，乖乖的束手就缚，本圣祖不是不可以放你的魂魄投胎转世的，否则……。”
Lin Xuan had seen similar effects before from some rare treasures, but those items required extraordinary materials to achieve such feats. This guy was using spatial magic without any apparent aid—this was far more difficult than he imagined.
duì fāng wēi xié de huà yǔ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér lín xuān què shì ruò wú dǔ ， xiù páo yī fú ， zhǐ jiàn guāng huá yào mù ， shù shí zhāng fú lù wú fēng zì rán le 。
对方威胁的话语传入耳朵，然而林轩却视若无睹，袖袍一拂，只见光华耀目，数十张符箓无风自燃了。
The other's ability clearly involved manipulating space laws to shift his position slightly. From the outside, it appeared as if he hadn't moved at all, making this technique incredibly deceptive.
suí hòu bīng shǐ ， léi huǒ ， mó qì ， kū lóu ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de gōng jī fú xiàn ér chū ， yī shí piàn kè ， hěn nán yòng yán yǔ miáo shù 。
随后冰矢，雷火，魔气，骷髅，各种各样的攻击浮现而出，一时片刻，很难用言语描述。
Lin Xuan had seen similar techniques before but never from such a low-level existence. He knew that even at the Void Profound Stage, the opponent was still formidable and would not be easily defeated.
zhè xiē fú ， jiē shì lín xuān dé zì fù jiā de bǎo wù 。
这些符，皆是林轩得自付家的宝物。
Seeing his spells ineffective, Lin Xuan's expression turned grim. A silver glow appeared in his palm—a long spear with an ancient design.
měi yī zhāng de wēi lì ， dōu bù xùn yú dòng xuán qī cún zài de quán lì yī jī 。
每一张的威力，都不逊于洞玄期存在的全力一击。
He knew this had to come from the Snow Fox King. Using poison against poison, since the other excelled at spatial magic, a spatial treasure was the most effective countermeasure.
shù shí zhāng dié jiā zài yì qǐ ， biàn shì fēn shén qī gǔ mó ， yě jué bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī 。
数十张叠加在一起，便是分神期古魔，也绝不敢等闲视之。
With a loud shout, he infused all his magical energy into the spear.
“ āi ”， nà shén mì shào nián de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī chà yì ， jiǎ rú tā zài quán shèng zhī shí ， zhè yàng de gōng jī ， zì rán shì máo máo yǔ ， rán ér cǐ kè ， yě bù gǎn tài guò dà yì 。
“唉”，那神秘少年的脸上闪过一丝诧异，假如他在全盛之时，这样的攻击，自然是毛毛雨，然而此刻，也不敢太过大意。
The surface of the weapon glowed green as Lin Xuan swung it downward with force. A sharp sound echoed, and countless runes flickered on the spear's surface, forming a strange pattern similar to those on the other’s banner.
méi tou yí zhòu ， shào nián tíng zhǐ le nuó yí ， shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， kǒu zhōng tǔ chū shén mì de zhòu yǔ 。
眉头一皱，少年停止了挪移，双手掐诀，口中吐出神秘的咒语。
These were demonic runes!
wū ……。
呜……。
Suddenly, the runes formed a circle, revealing an intricate spatial array before his eyes.
guǐ xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì mó fēng zhòu qǐ ， ér shào nián de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， gèng yǒu wú shù mó wén fú xiàn chū lái suí hòu tā de shēn tǐ fǎng fú biàn dé tòu míng yì bān 。
鬼啸声传入耳朵，与之伴随的是魔风骤起，而少年的身体表面，更有无数魔纹浮现出来随后他的身体仿佛变得透明一般。
Then, a crescent-shaped light blade appeared! Unlike ordinary light blades, this one had tiny, complex arrays embedded within it.
“ hū hū ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì lín xuān suǒ jì chū de fú lù ， huàn huà chū lái de gōng jī ， cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn chuān kōng ér guò ， jū rán bàn diǎn xiào guǒ yě wú 。
“呼呼”的声音传入耳朵，却是林轩所祭出的符箓，幻化出来的攻击，从他身体表面穿空而过，居然半点效果也无。
A sharp sound echoed as the blade swung towards the other.
“ kōng jiān mì shù ！”
“空间秘术！”
"Ah, this attack..."
lín xuān jì chū fú lù yǐ hòu ， lì kè bàn diǎn dān gē yě wú ， quán lì xiàng qián fēi dùn ér chū ， rán ér yǐ tā shén shí de qiáng dà chéng dù ， fā shēng le shén me ， hái shì gǎn yìng dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
林轩祭出符箓以后，立刻半点耽搁也无，全力向前飞遁而出，然而以他神识的强大程度，发生了什么，还是感应得清清楚楚。
The youth who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor showed no fear even when facing dozens of runes. His expression remained calm, but now he looked surprised, recognizing Lin Xuan's weapon.
duì fāng néng gòu dǎng zhù gōng jī ， bù xī qí ， dàn néng gòu ràng suǒ yǒu de bīng shǐ léi huǒ ， cóng shēn tǐ biǎo miàn chuān guò ， què sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， nà jiù yǒu yī xiē bù kě sī yì le 。
对方能够挡住攻击，不稀奇，但能够让所有的冰矢雷火，从身体表面穿过，却丝毫影响也无，那就有一些不可思议了。
"The Heaven-Absolute Fairy’s Inverted Ocean Spear—how did it end up here and in your hands?"
néng yǒu zhè yàng de xiào guǒ ， xiǎn rán shì lì yòng kōng jiān fǎ zé ， ràng zì jǐ suǒ chù de wèi zhì ， zuò zi xiē xǔ nuó yí 。
能有这样的效果，显然是利用空间法则，让自己所处的位置，做子些许挪移。
Though his face showed concern for the first time, he knew that the Heaven-Absolute Fairy was a powerful figure in the Spirit Realm. Even the Cold Moon Immortal treated her with respect.
rán ér luò zài wài rén de yǎn lǐ ， tā què yī jiù hái zài yuán dì ， gēn běn bù zhī dào zhēn shēn jiū jìng dào le nǎ lǐ ， zhè jiù shì kōng jiān mì shù de shén qí 。
然而落在外人的眼里，他却依旧还在原地，根本不知道真身究竟到了哪里，这就是空间秘术的神奇。
The Inverted Ocean Spear wasn’t her primary treasure but one of her most formidable secret weapons. It was unimaginable to see it in the hands of a mere Void Profound existence.
lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yǐ qián dào yě jiàn guò ， yī xiē bǎo wù ， néng gòu dá dào lèi sì de xiào guǒ ， dàn nà xiē bǎo wù ， wú yī bú shì yòng kuàng shì nán xún de qí zhēn yì bǎo liàn zhì ér chéng de ， yīn cǐ cái néng jiè zhù xiē xǔ kōng jiān zhī lì ， ér yǎn qián zhè ge jiā huo ， què shì píng kōng shī zhǎn de ……。
林轩见识广博，以前倒也见过，一些宝物，能够达到类似的效果，但那些宝物，无一不是用旷世难寻的奇珍异宝炼制而成的，因此才能借助些许空间之力，而眼前这个家伙，却是凭空施展的……。
Though the spear’s power was only a fraction of its full potential, he couldn't afford any complacency. This spear was known for its spatial abilities; using his previous method would be futile.
qí zhōng de nán yì ， bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì ， yuán běn duì fāng zì chēng gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng hái yǒu yì diǎn yí huò ， cǐ kè ， què jiāng zhè zhǒng yóu yí ， pāo dào le jiǔ xiāo yún wài qù 。
其中的难易，不可以道里计，原本对方自称古魔圣祖，林轩心中还有一点疑惑，此刻，却将这种犹疑，抛到了九霄云外去。
The youth's expression turned serious as he stopped teleporting. However, no further action followed. Instead, his dark energy rapidly condensed, and just as the light blade approached his neck, a third eye on his forehead opened wide.
jiù suàn duì fāng shì dòng xuán qī ， néng gòu qū shǐ kōng jiān zhī lì ， bú yòng shuō ， nà yě shì nán chán yǐ jí 。
就算对方是洞玄期，能够驱使空间之力，不用说，那也是难缠以极。
A purple glow emanated from it, and spatial distortions appeared in front of him, forming a crystal-like object.
zhè yàng de dí rén ， yòu méi yǒu shēn chóu dà hèn ， lín xuān kěn dìng shì jìng ér yuǎn zhī ， néng bù zhāo rě ， jiù jué bù zhāo rě dì 。
这样的敌人，又没有深仇大恨，林轩肯定是敬而远之，能不招惹，就绝不招惹地。
The light blade seemed to vanish without a trace, absorbed by this strange object. It was an incredibly mysterious technique.
yǎn jiàn fú lù jìng méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī nán kàn zhī sè ， dàn yín máng shǎn guò ， yòu yī jiàn fǎ bǎo fú xiàn zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng le 。
眼见符箓竟没有效果，林轩脸上露出一丝难看之色，但银芒闪过，又一件法宝浮现在他的掌心中了。
Lin Xuan’s heart raced, but his attack had some effect. Using the brief moment gained, he retreated several dozen miles away.
shì yī bǐng zào xíng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē 。
是一柄造型古朴的长戈。
If he tried to leave now, the other would surely not stop him because Lin Xuan had a random teleportation scroll. However, he didn’t intend to use it just yet; the situation wasn't dire enough for such drastic measures.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì dé zì xuě hú wáng de bǎo wù ， sú huà shuō ， yǐ dú gōng dú ， duì fāng jì rán shàn cháng kōng jiān zhī shù ， nà zuì wěn tuǒ de fāng fǎ ， jiù shì yòng kōng jiān fǎ bǎo duì fù 。
不用说，自然是得自雪狐王的宝物，俗话说，以毒攻毒，对方既然擅长空间之术，那最稳妥的方法，就是用空间法宝对付。
He still had other secret techniques. Using an illusionary escape might work, though it was more cumbersome. He knew that as his power grew, his illusionary technique became far more powerful—capable of moving thousands of miles in a single step with the aid of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit essence.
zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān xiǎng dé hěn qīng chǔ 。
这一点，林轩想得很清楚。
Deciding quickly, Lin Xuan raised both hands and chanted ancient and mysterious runes.
yī shēng dà hē ， jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì ， zhù rù shǒu zhōng de zhǎng gē 。
一声大喝，将浑身的法力，注入手中的长戈。
The sounds were strange, unlike any language he knew. They seemed to come from an ancient era.
cǐ bǎo biǎo miàn fú wén bān bó ， qīng guāng yào mù ， lín xuān yòu shǒu yǐ hěn hěn de cháo zhe xià fāng huī luò 。
此宝表面符文斑驳，青光耀目，林轩右手已狠狠的朝着下方挥落。
Lin Xuan’s body was bathed in green light, then turned red as five colors of light rotated around him, appearing ancient and mystical.
cī lā zhī shēng dà zuò ， yī gǔ xiōng lì qì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì wú shù fú wén cóng zhǎng gē biǎo miàn ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de tūn tǔ 。
刺啦之声大做，一股凶戾气之气沛然而出，与之伴随的是无数符文从长戈表面若隐若现的吞吐。
Suddenly, the magical energy surged, covering a large area and concealing Lin Xuan's form.
zhè xiē wén zì yě shì xī qí gǔ piáo ， yǔ duì fāng fān qí shàng lòu kè de pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
这些文字也是稀奇古朴，与对方幡旗上镂刻的颇有几分相似。
Then, something strange happened—a dull explosion echoed, and before his eyes, dozens of Lin Xuans appeared. Each one moved differently but looked identical in every detail—almost indistinguishable from each other.
yāo zú de wén zì ！
妖族的文字！
"Phantom Escape!" A harsh voice confirmed what he suspected: "This kid is indeed practicing the Moon-Murky Heaven Witch Technique?"
jǐn jiē zhe nà xiē wén zì yī shǎn ， wéi chéng le yí gè yuán quān ， yī guǐ yì jīng qiǎo de fǎ zhèn chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
紧接着那些文字一闪，围成了一个圆圈，一诡异精巧的法阵出现在了面前。
The delay caused nearby space to distort and collapse as these dozens of Lin Xuans vanished.
suí hòu yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn jǐn jiē zhe fú xiàn ！
随后月牙形的光刃紧接着浮现！
The youth's face turned dark, and his divine sense expanded.
yǔ pǔ tōng de guāng rèn bù tóng ， jìng rán yǒu xuán miào de wēi xíng fǎ zhèn fù zhuó zài qí zhōng 。
与普通的光刃不同，竟然有玄妙的微型法阵附着在其中。
While illusions couldn’t deceive him, this technique’s range was troublesome. As long as it wasn't too far, he still had a way out.
cī lā shēng dà zuò ， hěn hěn de xiàng duì fāng zhǎn guò lái le 。
刺啦声大做，狠狠的像对方斩过来了。
"Four thousand miles? Hmph, to be able to use the Phantom Escape so well... This kid must have a deeper background than most of his peers."
“ yí ， zhè gōng jī ……”。
“咦，这攻击……”。
The youth's voice echoed: "This is strange; while the Moon-Murky Heaven Witch Technique is indeed extraordinary, he’s only at the Void Profound Stage. It shouldn’t be this effective. Could he have other secret techniques like a second元婴 or even a demon core? No... Even with a second元婴, it wouldn't be so extreme unless he has extensive knowledge and even cultivated a demon core..."
gāng gāng miàn duì shù shí zhāng fú lù ， nà zì chēng shèng zǔ de shào nián yě bù céng yǒu fēn háo wèi jù ， biǎo qíng píng dàn yǐ jí ， rán ér cǐ kè ， liǎn shàng què mǎn shì jīng yà zhī sè ， fǎng fú rèn chū le lín xuān shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù 。
刚刚面对数十张符箓，那自称圣祖的少年也不曾有分毫畏惧，表情平淡以极，然而此刻，脸上却满是惊讶之色，仿佛认出了林轩手中的宝物。
Lin Xuan had already retreated far enough; if he heard these words, his eyes would pop out. The other had deduced not only his main cultivation technique but also the existence of a second元婴 and a demon core based on just one use of the Phantom Escape.
“ tiān jué xiān zi de dào hǎi gē ， zěn me huì liú luò zài cǐ dì ， hái luò rù yī nǐ zhè yàng de dī jiē cún zài shǒu lǐ ？”
“天绝仙子的倒海戈，怎么会流落在此地，还落入一你这样的低阶存在手里？”
The experience required was immense—far beyond Lin Xuan's own extensive knowledge. Compared to this mysterious ancestor, he felt like a small fry in comparison.
rán ér dí gū guī dí gū ， tā de liǎn shàng ， què shǒu cì xiàn chū le níng zhòng zhī sè ， tiān jué xiān zi ， yě shì líng jiè yǒu míng de dà néng zhī yī ， biàn shì guǎng hán zhēn rén ， yě jiāng qí fèng wéi zuò shàng bīn 。
然而嘀咕归嘀咕，他的脸上，却首次现出了凝重之色，天绝仙子，也是灵界有名的大能之一，便是广寒真人，也将其奉为坐上宾。
From the old Immortal Nai Long to this ancient demon ancestor, each was an immensely experienced figure who had lived for millions of years. Truly, age brought wisdom.
ér zhè dào hǎi gē ， suī bú shì tā de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn què shì tiān jué xiān zi wēi zhèn sān jiè de mì bǎo zhī yī ， zěn me yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào huì liú luò dào yī qū qū dòng xuán cún zài de shǒu lǐ 。
而这倒海戈，虽不是她的本命宝物，但却是天绝仙子威震三界的秘宝之一，怎么也没有想到会流落到一区区洞玄存在的手里。
The old monster didn't chase him; while he knew many spatial secrets, he wasn’t proficient enough. Plus, his body was only at the Void Profound Stage, making a four-thousand-mile teleportation impossible.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy."
The mysterious youth sneered, his voice seeping into Lin Xuan's ears. Then he took a step forward without rushing, instantly moving thousands of feet.
Not only could Lin Xuan use instant teleportation; as one of the Nine True Demons Ancestors, he had a deep understanding of spatial forces despite not fully grasping space laws.
