转眼，又是小半天的时间过去，林轩这才离开租住的房屋，化为一道惊虹，飞向了灵源谷。小
A few hours passed before Lin Xuan finally left his rented house and transformed into a streak of shocking light, heading towards the Spirit Source Valley.
yī lù shàng ， guǒ rán qīng jìng le xǔ duō ， zhè zhǒng shí kè ， dà bù fèn rén dōu yǐ jīng rù gǔ ， bù guò lín xuān hái shì jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， bì jìng zhè dì fāng bù zhī dào yǒng rù le duō shǎo gāo wèi gǔ mó ， wàn wàn dà yì bù dé 。
一路上，果然清净了许多，这种时刻，大部分人都已经入谷，不过林轩还是将神识放出，毕竟这地方不知道涌入了多少高位古魔，万万大意不得。
The journey was indeed much quieter. At this time, most people had already entered the valley, but Lin Xuan still released his divine sense; after all, he didn’t know how many ancient demons of high rank had flooded in here, so he couldn’t be too careless.
zǒng zhī yī jù huà ， xiǎo xīn kěn dìng shì wú hài de 。
总之一句话，小心肯定是无害的。
In short, being cautious was always a good idea.
fēi le yuē yǒu yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， lín xuān yǐ jīng jiē jìn le líng yuán gǔ ， tū rán ， yī zhèn dǎ dòu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān shén sè què méi yǒu bàn fēn cuò è ， rú jīn zhè dì fāng huì jù le gè fāng shì lì ， shān gǔ nèi kěn dìng shì chōng mǎn le xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， jiù suàn hái méi yǒu rù gǔ ， wài miàn chóu rén xiá lù xiāng féng ， yě méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí zhī chù 。
飞了约有一炷香的功夫，林轩已经接近了灵源谷，突然，一阵打斗的声音传入耳朵，林轩神色却没有半分错愕，如今这地方汇聚了各方势力，山谷内肯定是充满了腥风血雨，就算还没有入谷，外面仇人狭路相逢，也没有分毫出奇之处。
After about an incense stick’s worth of time flying, Lin Xuan was close to the Spirit Source Valley. Suddenly, the sound of a fight reached his ears, but his expression didn't change at all. This place had gathered various forces; naturally, the valley was filled with blood and gore even before he entered it. Even outside, if enemies happened to meet on a narrow path, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.
lín xuān zì rán bù dǎ suàn duō guǎn xián shì shén me ， yě méi yǒu jì gē rào lù ， rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， cóng yī páng fēi guò qù jiù xíng le 。
林轩自然不打算多管闲事什么，也没有计戈绕路，人不犯我，我不犯人，从一旁飞过去就行了。
Lin Xuan wasn’t planning to get involved in other people’s affairs, nor did he take any detours. He simply flew past from the side.
yǐ lín xuān de dùn shù ， zì rán shì hěn kuài jiù dào le 。
以林轩的遁术，自然是很快就到了。
With his evasion techniques, Lin Xuan was much stronger than those at the same level and had mastered the Divine Eye of the Heavenly Phoenix, which could see through disguises and illusions. Thus, he could easily tell that this wasn’t the old master Tongyu; the demon energy in his body was incredibly pure, indicating that Tongyu had become a part of the demons.
zhǐ jiàn qián fāng guāng huá yào yǎn ， bào liè shēng gèng shì jiē lián bù duàn ， mí qì chōng xiāo ér qǐ ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， gèng shì bèi yí wèi le yī piàn píng dì 。
只见前方光华耀眼，爆裂声更是接连不断，靡气冲霄而起，方圆数里，更是被夷为了一片平地。
Lin Xuan sighed. He didn’t know what happened to Tongyu on his path to cultivation, but it was clear that he hadn't chosen to cross the heavenly tribulation and instead ascended to the demon realm. The demon energy permeated him, and he succeeded in transforming from an ordinary human cultivator into a demon.
zhè zhēng dòu hái dàng zhēn shì jī liè yǐ shù 。
这争斗还当真是激烈以术。
Lin Xuan felt like he was waking up from a dream. Everything seemed too unreal. A thunderous explosion echoed in his ears as Tongyu spat out a mouthful of blood, flying several dozen feet before crashing into the mountain wall with great force.
bù guò yǔ zì jǐ méi guān xì ， lín xuān zhèng dǎ suàn cóng páng biān yī lüè ér guò ， rán ér rén bì jìng dōu shì yǒu hào qí xīn de ， lín xuān cháo zhe zuǒ biān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， mù guāng què zài yě nuó bù kāi le 。
不过与自己没关系，林轩正打算从旁边一掠而过，然而人毕竟都是有好奇心的，林轩朝着左边转过头颅，目光却再也挪不开了。
The stone fragments fell down, and the part of the rock that Tongyu hit turned to dust, showing how powerful this attack was. Despite the toughness of cultivator bodies and their protective membranes, Tongyu still bled from his mouth after such a heavy blow.
chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è ， zhěng gè rén fán hū liù quán lèng zài nà lǐ le 。
除了惊愕还是惊愕，整个人凡乎六全愣在那里了。
The two-headed four-armed ancient demon didn’t let up either. His body exuded an aura of anger as he waved his hands, causing the sword, ring, and token to disappear and be replaced by four hammer-like treasures in his palms.
zhǐ jiàn zài jù lí zì jǐ shù bǎi zhàng yuǎn chù ， liǎng míng mó zú xiū shì zhèng jī liè yǐ jí de dòu fǎ zhe 。
只见在距离自己数百丈远处，两名魔族修士正激烈以极的斗法着。
"Old guy, you can go die."
zuǒ biān yí gè ， shuāng tóu sì bì ， shēn cái gāo dà yǐ jí liǎng gè tóu lú ， miàn kǒng jiē zhēng níng chǒu è ， sì tiáo cū zhuàng de shǒu bì ， ná zhe bù tóng de bǎo wù ， fēn bié shì dāo 、 jiàn 、 huán ， hái yǒu yī lìng pái mú yàng de dōng xī 。
左边一个，双头四臂，身材高大以极两个头颅，面孔皆狰狞丑恶，四条粗壮的手臂，拿着不同的宝物，分别是刀、剑、环，还有一令牌模样的东西。
The ancient demon roared, raining down hammer strikes like raindrops. The sound of thundering impacts continued non-stop. In just a breath’s worth of time, a mountain was flattened into a vast pit.
zhè shì yī lí hé zhōng qī de “ mí ， jǔ shǒu tóu zú zào chéng de pò huài lì ， nà dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì lìng rén cè mù ， mí fēng gǔn gǔn ， mù guāng suǒ jí ， chuāng yí biàn dì yuán běn hòu zhòng de ní tǔ ， yǐ bèi lí chū le yī dào dào de gōu hè ， dà xiǎo bù yī de shēn kēng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn 。
这是一离合中期的“靡，举手投足造成的破坏力，那当真是非同小可，甚至可以说是令人侧目，靡风滚滚，目光所及，疮痍遍地原本hòu重的泥土，已被犁出了一道道的沟壑，大小不一的深坑出现在视线。
A sharp whistling sound reached Lin Xuan's ears as Tongyu appeared with a pale face after enduring this round of attacks. Although he hadn’t fallen, his situation wasn’t good at all.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， cóng tā de zuǐ lǐ ， hái bù shí pēn chū hēi hóng sè de mó huǒ ， bèi hòu de nà tiáo wěi ba ， gèng shì yǒu rú dú shé ， zhǎo zhǔn kòng xì ， jiù yào jiāng dí rén zhì yú sǐ dì 。
不仅如此，从他的嘴里，还不时喷出黑红色的魔火，背后的那条尾巴，更是有如毒蛇，找准空隙，就要将敌人置于死地。
"Still not willing to surrender? Persisting will only make you suffer more. It’s time for you to choose wisely..."
ér yǔ zhè míng gǔ mí fàng duì de zé shì yī shēn chuān dào páo de lǎo zhě tóng yán hè fà ， xiān fēng dào gǔ ， rú guǒ bú shì tā hún shēn de jīng mài lǐ dōu liú dòng zhe jīng chún yǐ jí de mí qì ， wú lùn rú hé ， lín xuān yě bú huì jiāng tā yǔ mó zú lián xì dào yī kuài de 。
而与这名古靡放对的则是一身穿道袍的老者童颜鹤发，仙风道骨，如果不是他浑身的经脉里都流动着精纯以极的靡气，无论如何，林轩也不会将他与魔族联系到一块的。
Tongyu’s arrogant voice echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. His strength was indeed much greater than those at the same level; otherwise, Tongyu wouldn't have been beaten so badly.
bìng fēi yǐ mào qǔ rén de yuán gù ér shì cǐ rén de shēn cái wǔ guān ， zì jǐ dōu tài shú xī le 。
并非以貌取人的缘故而是此人的身材五官，自己都太熟悉了。
"Enough talk."
nà yòu zěn me kě néng wàng jì 。
那又怎么可能忘记。
Even though he knew he couldn’t win, a cultivator like Lin Xuan had no reason to surrender. He would rather die and make this guy bleed profusely. With a roar, Tongyu struck his head and chest, expelling a bead the size of a dragon’s eye from his body.
“ tōng yǔ zhēn rén ， tā zěn me huì zài zhè lǐ ……”
“通羽真人，他怎么会在这里……”
"Hmph, it seems you’re refusing my offer of wine and want to drink the punishment instead."
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， nà jiào yí gè bù kě ēn yì 。
林轩喃喃自语，脸上的表情，那叫一个不可恩议。
The ancient demon with two heads and four arms sneered as he clapped his hands in front of his chest. The hammer-like treasure was thrown up into the air, enveloped by demon light, floating beside him. Spell after spell was cast.
tōng yǔ zhēn rén líng yào shān zhǎng mén ， xī rì zì jǐ ， shèn zhì céng bài zài tā mén xià xué yì 。
通羽真人灵药山掌门，昔日自己，甚至曾拜在他门下学艺。
"Enjoy!"
lín xuān zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， huì zài mó jiè yǔ cǐ lǎo xiāng yù 。
林轩做梦也没有想到，会在魔界与此老相遇。
Tongyu pointed a finger forward, and the bead emitted a thick black beam from its surface. After a flash, it turned into a blue glow. Following this, the blue glow flickered, revealing countless thin blades like butterfly wings.
shàng cì jī yuán qiǎo hé cóng dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè chuán sòng huí tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， lín xuān jiù dǎ tīng guò líng yào shān yǔ tōng yǔ de xiāo xī 。
上次机缘巧合从东海修仙界传送回天云十二州，林轩就打听过灵药山与通羽的消息。
These demon blades were peculiar in shape, resembling crescent moon knives, and quickly transformed into hundreds of them. The scene was truly impressive.
líng yào shān yǐ bèi gǔ mí huǐ qù tōng yǔ zhēn rén zé zǎo zài cǐ zhī qián ， jiù yǐ liǎo wú zōng jì ， méi yǒu rén zhī dào tā zài nǎ lǐ 。
灵药山已被古靡毁去通羽真人则早在此之前，就已了无踪迹，没有人知道他在哪里。
However, the ancient demon with two heads and four arms showed no fear: "Is that your last resort? Not bad, but let’s see how my divine power compares."
lín xuān yě pǒ wèi àn rán ， yǐ wéi tōng yǔ zhēn rén yǐ jīng zuò huà huò zhě bīng jiě ， bì jìng tā de nián líng bǐ zì jǐ hái yào dà shàng xǔ duō ， ruò bù néng tū pò lí hé ， shòu yuán zǎo jiù dào le 。
林轩也颇为黯然，以为通羽真人已经坐化或者兵解，毕竟他的年龄比自己还要大上许多，若不能突破离合，寿元早就到了。
Before he could finish speaking, a strange laughter echoed in Lin Xuan's ears as the demon image before him vanished and reappeared. It was a massive black shadow towering over ten zhang (about 30 feet), its body enveloped by demon light, with a fierce and terrifying appearance.
ér tōng yǔ zhēn rén de zī zhì suī rán yě suàn bù cuò ， dàn zài lín xuān kàn lái xiǎng yào mài rù lí hé hái shì xū yào hěn dà jī yuán de ， bì jìng rén jiè gè fāng miàn de zī yuán dōu tài guò dān bó ， fàng yǎn tiān yún shí èr zhōu lí hé qī cún zài cái fán gè ？
而通羽真人的资质虽然也算不错，但在林轩看来想要迈入离合还是需要很大机缘的，毕竟人界各方面的资源都太过单薄，放眼天云十二州离合期存在才凡个？
"Divine form divine power!"
suī rán lín xuān xī wàng tōng yǔ zhēn rén de xiān dào zhī lù ， néng gòu zǒu dé gèng yuǎn yì diǎn ， dàn kè guān lái shuō ， zhè zhǒng fán lǜ ， shì bìng bù dà de 。
虽然林轩希望通羽真人的仙道之路，能够走得更远一点，但客观来说，这种凡率，是并不大的。
Tongyu exclaimed in shock, his face pale to the extreme. He had an ominous feeling but couldn’t change tactics now; he could only roar as the crescent moon-shaped blades shot forward.
rán ér zài yí cì chóng féng ， tōng yǔ zhēn rén zhēn mài rù le lí hé qī ， ér qiě hái shì zhōng qī ， kě xī shì zài mó jiè zhè lǐ 。
然而再一次重逢，通羽真人真迈入了离合期，而且还是中期，可惜是在魔界这里。
Seeing this, the ancient demon with two heads and four arms brought his front hands together, mimicking the same action of the demon image. Accompanying it was a terrifying spiritual pressure that descended upon them. The demon image’s body was covered in heavy armor.
lín xuān xīn zhōng nà jiào yí gè bǎi gǎn jiāo jí 。
林轩心中那叫一个百感交集。
Clanging sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears as hundreds of demon blades struck with great force. However, most were blocked by the heavy armor. Even those few that broke through the defense and pierced the demon image only caused minor damage. Soon, the demon energy surged, quickly restoring the image to its original state.
yǐ tā de shí lì ， shén shí shèng guò tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō ， yòu jīng shàn néng gòu kàn pò wěi zhuāng huàn shù de tiān fèng shén mù ， zì rán néng gòu fēn biàn ， cǐ shí de tōng yǔ zhēn rén ， yǔ zì jǐ bù tóng ， tā tǐ nèi de mí qì ， nà jiào yí gè jīng chún yǐ jí ， rú jīn de tōng yǔ ， yǐ shì mó zú de yī yuán 。
以他的实力，神识胜过同阶存在许多，又精擅能够看破伪装幻术的天凤神目，自然能够分辨，此时的通羽真人，与自己不同，他体内的靡气，那叫一个精纯以极，如今的通羽，已是魔族的一员。
In short, Tongyu’s last resort had completely failed.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， tā bù zhī dào tōng yǔ zài xiū xiān zhī lù shàng yù jiàn le shén me ， dàn xiǎn rán ， tā zuì hòu méi yǒu xuǎn zé dù tiān jié ， ér shì fēi shēng qù le mó jiè 。
林轩叹了口气，他不知道通羽在修仙之路上遇见了什么，但显然，他最后没有选择渡天劫，而是飞升去了魔界。
A powerful cultivator might not consider this ancient demon with two heads and four arms significant in front of high-level existences, but compared to those at the same level, it was too formidable.
mó qì guàn xiū ， ér qiě chéng gōng le ， yóu rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， zhuǎn huàn wèi gǔ mó 。
魔气灌休，而且成功了，由人类修仙者，转换为古魔。
Despair flashed across Tongyu's face as he suddenly raised his hand, recognizing several talismans. He transformed into a streak of shocking light, trying to escape.
yī shí jiān ， lín xuān huǎng rán rú mèng ， zhè yī qiè ， gěi tā de gǎn jué ， dōu tài bù zhēn shí le ， zhí dào yī jīng léi bān de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu diàn guāng shǎn shuò ， tōng yǔ zhēn rén yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū ， rú tóng yī kuài pò bù ， bèi duì fāng de mó fēng pāo fēi le shù shí zhàng yuǎn ， hěn hěn de zhuàng zài shān bì shàng miàn 。
一时间，林轩恍然如梦，这一切，给他的感觉，都太不真实了，直到一惊雷般的爆裂声传入耳朵，随后电光闪烁，通羽真人一口鲜血喷出，如同一块破布，被对方的魔风抛飞了数十丈远，狠狠的撞在山壁上面。
The plan was good, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. The demon image struck out with a palm strike, creating a powerful demon wind that shattered the talisman’s attack. It continued its assault, grabbing at Tongyu directly.
suì shí fēn fēn wǎng xià luò ， bèi tōng yǔ zhēn rén zhèng miàn zhuàng shàng de nà kuài shí bì ， dōu yǐ jīng huà wèi jī fěn le ， kě jiàn zhè yī jī de wēi néng ， shì hé děng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
碎石纷纷往下落，被通羽真人正面撞上的那块石壁，都已经化为齑粉了，可见这一击的威能，是何等的非同小可。
This outcome wasn't what Lin Xuan had anticipated, and he couldn’t dodge in time. He was about to be grabbed by the demon image.
jǐn guǎn xiū shì de shēn tǐ ， bǐ fán rén yào qiáng dà dé duō ， ér qiě yǒu bǎo hù mó ， dàn zhè yī xià zhòng jī ， tōng yǔ zhēn rén yě bù hǎo guò ， fǒu zé ， bú huì yǒu yī kǒu kǒu de xiān xuè ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn bó 。
尽管修士的身体，比凡人要强大得多，而且有保护膜，但这一下重击，通羽真人也不好过，否则，不会有一口口的鲜血，从嘴巴里喷薄。
Damn it!
ér nà shuāng tóu sì bì de gǔ mó ， yě shì dé lǐ bù ráo de jiā huo ， hún shēn lì qì dà zuò ， shuāng shǒu wēi zhēng yī huǎng ， nà dāo jiàn huán hái yǒu lìng pái sì jiàn mó bǎo ， tū rán xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì sì bǐng tóng chuí mú yàng de bǎo wù ， chū xiàn zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
而那双头四壁的古魔，也是得理不饶的家伙，浑身戾气大做，双手微徵一晃，那刀剑环还有令牌四件魔宝，突然消失不见，取而代之的是四柄铜锤模样的宝物，出现在他的掌心之中。
Tongyu gritted his teeth; at this point, he seemed to have no other choice but to abandon his physical body. If his essence could escape after the soul left, there might still be a chance of survival. Of course, this was only a last resort, as who would willingly sacrifice their physical body?
“ lǎo jiā huǒ ， nǐ kě yǐ qù sǐ le 。”
“老家伙，你可以去死了。”
However, just then, a green light appeared without any warning and struck the demon image with great force. The shadow that had been unaffected by hundreds of demon blades before now seemed like paper mache, rapidly dissolving into nothingness.
shuāng tóu sì bì de gǔ mó yī shēng dà hē ， shuāng shǒu shàng xià fēi wǔ ， chuí yǐng rú yǔ diǎn bān hěn hěn zá luò ， hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， qián hòu bù guò fán xī de gōng fu ， yī zuò dà shān jiù bèi yí wèi le píng dì ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yí gè dà kēng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
双头四臂的古魔一声大喝，双手上下飞舞，锤影如雨点般狠狠砸落，轰隆隆的巨响不绝于耳朵，前后不过凡息的功夫，一座大山就被夷为了平地，取而代之的是一个大坑出现在视线里。
This sudden change left both fighters stunned.
“ sōu ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tōng yǔ zhēn rén mǎn liǎn cǎn bái zhī sè de chū xiàn le ， jīng lì le zhè yī lún dǎ jī ， tā suī rán bìng wèi yǔn luò ， dàn qíng kuàng yě bù miào dào jí chù 。
“嗖”的一声传入耳朵，通羽真人满脸惨白之色的出现了，经历了这一轮打击，他虽然并未陨落，但情况也不妙到极处。
Tongyu was overjoyed as he saw this; after all, it was a miraculous turn of events. However, the ancient demon with two heads and four arms was both shocked and angry but dared not react. The Spirit Source Valley was full of hidden talents; could this be done by a Core Formation Period old monster?
“ zěn me ， hái bù yuàn yì shù shǒu jiù fù ， jiān chí xià qù zhǐ huì ràng nǐ duō shòu kǔ chǔ ， shí xiàng de ， nǐ yīng gāi zǒu yí gè míng zhì de xuǎn zé ……”
“怎么，还不愿意束手就缚，坚持下去只会让你多受苦楚，识相的，你应该走一个明智的选择……”
His expression became more serious as he released his divine sense, but to no avail. A mere Separation from Union level existence couldn’t penetrate Lin Xuan's concealment techniques.
nà gǔ mó ào rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lùn shí lì ， shí xīn què shí bǐ tóng jiē cún zài qiáng dé duō ， fǒu zé tōng yǔ zhēn rén yòu bú shì ruǎn shì zi ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì jiù bèi dǎ dé láng bèi bù kān le 。
那古魔傲然的声音传入耳朵，论实力，十心确实比同阶存在强得多，否则通羽真人又不是软柿子，哪有那么容易就被打得狼狈不堪了。

"Enjoy!"
Tongyu pointed a finger forward, and the bead emitted a thick black beam from its surface. After a flash, it turned into a blue glow. Following this, the blue glow flickered, revealing countless thin blades like butterfly wings.
