他的表情悲怆，愤怒，难以用言语描述，天岚双魔，那都是心狠手辣的人物，别说修仙者，就算是陨落在他们手中的普通凡人，那也是不计其数。說，.Com
His expression was a mix of sorrow and anger, indescribable in words. The Twin Demons of Tianlan were ruthless individuals; not only had they killed countless cultivators, but ordinary mortals who fell into their hands numbered in the thousands.
yòng shā rén yíng yě lái xíng róng ， yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。
用杀人盈野来形容，一点也不为过。
Describing them as having filled fields with corpses would be an understatement.
rán ér fū qī liǎ suī wú è bù zuò ， bǐ cǐ jiān de gǎn qíng ， què méi yǒu bàn diǎn xū jiǎ hán hú ， shù wàn nián lái xiāng rú yǐ mò 。
然而夫妻俩虽无恶不作，彼此间的感情，却没有半点虚假含糊，数万年来相濡以沫。
Although the couple was notorious for their wicked deeds, their affection for each other remained genuine and unwavering. They had been together through thick and thin since they began their cultivation journey.
cóng tà rù xiān dào kāi shǐ ， dào liǎng rén zài zhù jī qī jié shí ， jiù zài yě méi yǒu fēn kāi guò 。
从踏入仙道开始，到两人在筑基期结识，就再也没有分开过。
The path to immortality was fraught with peril, especially in the ancient demon realm. Innumerable years ago, neither of them were high-ranking cultivators; they had risen step by step, overcoming countless hardships.
xiū xiān lù shàng duō kǎn kě ， gǔ mó jiè nà jiù gèng bú yòng shuō ， zài shù wàn nián qián ， fū qī liǎ kě bú shì shén me fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， tóng yàng shì yī bù yī gè jiǎo yìn ， màn màn áo chū lái de 。
修仙路上多坎坷，古魔界那就更不用说，在数万年前，夫妻俩可不是什么分神期的大能修仙者，同样是一步一个脚印，慢慢熬出来的。
In these nearly ten thousand years, they had faced numerous trials and tribulations. Together, they had weathered storms and emerged as the fearsome Twin Demons that now shook the holy realm.
xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， wēi xiǎn kùn kǔ ， zài zhè jìn shí wàn nián de shí jiān lǐ ， tā men bù zhī dào jīng lì le yǒu xǔ duō 。
腥风血雨，危险困苦，在这近十万年的时间里，他们不知道经历了有许多。
But now, his beloved wife was gone.
yī lù fú chí ， fū qī liǎ zài fēng yǔ zhōng xié shǒu gòng zhù ， cái yǒu le jīn tiān wēi zhèn shèng jiè de tiān lán shuāng mó 。
一路扶持，夫妻俩在风雨中携手共助，才有了今天威震圣界的天岚双魔。
Just moments ago, he had watched helplessly as she fell, unable to do anything to save her. The sorrow and fury in his heart were indescribable.
rán ér xiàn zài ， qī zǐ què lí zì jǐ ér qù 。
然而现在，妻子却离自己而去。
"Accursed!"
jiù zài gāng gāng ， tā yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe ài qī yǔn luò ， què huí tiān fá shù ， xīn zhōng de bēi fèn ， nà shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
就在刚刚，他眼睁睁的看着爱妻陨落，却回天乏术，心中的悲愤，那是可想而知的。
The ancient demon with the green armor turned its head, its expression filled with venomous hatred. Its eyes seemed to be on fire.
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
Even now, he could not believe what had happened before him was real. However, their mental connection had vanished into nothingness.
nà qīng jiǎ gǔ mó huí guò tóu lú ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng nán yǐ yán shù ， chú le yuàn dú hái shì yuàn dú ， tóng kǒng fǎng fú dōu zài pēn huǒ 。
那青甲古魔回过头颅，脸上的表情难以言述，除了怨毒还是怨毒，瞳孔仿佛都在喷火。
He raised his head, and a mournful howl escaped from his throat, piercing the heavens as if the very earth trembled in response.
jí biàn xiàn zài ， tā dōu hái bù gǎn xiāng xìn fā shēng zài yǎn qián de yí mù shì zhēn de 。
即便现在，他都还不敢相信发生在眼前的一幕是真的。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he lifted his right hand to swing his long spear once more.
rán ér yǔ qī zǐ jiān de shén shí lián xì ， què yǐ jīng huà wèi le xū wú 。
然而与妻子间的神识联系，却已经化为了虚无。
A bright blade of light appeared, its crescent-shaped edge still dazzling. Wherever it passed, space left behind a clear white trail.
tā yáng qǐ tóu lú ， bēi chuàng de xiào shēng cóng hóu lóng lǐ fā chū ， dòng rén xīn pò ， fǎng fú tiān dì yě wèi zhī biàn sè 。
他扬起头颅，悲怆的啸声从喉咙里发出，动人心魄，仿佛天地也为之变色。
Ignoring all else, Lin Xuan aimed to take advantage of the demon’s momentary distraction and strike him down. Otherwise, once he recovered from his grief, his next attack would be devastating.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， jiāng shǒu zhōng de zhǎng gē zài cì huī luò 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，右手抬起，将手中的长戈再次挥落。
The impact of the Awe-Sweeping Spear was immense; its speed was breathtaking. It had just appeared when it already sliced towards the green-armored ancient demon's neck, leaving no room for evasion.
xuě liàng de dāo guāng fú xiàn ér chū ， nà yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn yī jiù shì nà me yào yǎn cì mù 。
雪亮的刀光浮现而出，那月牙形的光刃依旧是那么耀眼刺目。
Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of great joy. If he could severely injure this demon again, the scene would be too perfect.
suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān yǒu míng xiǎn de bái hén fú xiàn ér chū 。
所过之处，空间有明显的白痕浮现而出。
The thought flashed through his mind as the green-armored ancient demon raised its hand. A sharp bone blade appeared from its elbow, glowing with grayish energy. It was a foot long and seemed to be wrapped in something akin to corpse gas—though Lin Xuan couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
lín xuān bù guǎn sān qī èr shí yī ， xiǎng chèn cǐ mó xīn shén bù wěn ， jiāng tā zhǎn luò 。
林轩不管三七二十一，想趁此魔心神不稳，将他斩落。
It didn't matter what it was; given that the opponent had acted so hastily, he would surely not be able to withstand this strike. Even if he didn’t fall, severe injuries were inevitable.
fǒu zé yí dàn děng tā cóng bēi fèn zhōng huī fù ， jiē xià lái de gōng jī ， yí dìng shì shí pò tiān jīng de 。
否则一旦等他从悲愤中恢复，接下来的攻击，一定是石破天惊的。
Lin Xuan prepared for a follow-up move when a massive explosion sounded in his ears. The grayish energy from the bone blade flashed and intercepted the light blade’s path.
dào hǎi gē de yī jī ， nà shì hé děng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， sù dù gèng shì lìng rén chēng mù ， zhè biān gāng gāng fú xiàn ér chū ， nà biān yǐ jīng pī dào le qīng jiǎ gǔ mó jǐng xiàng de sān chǐ zhī chù 。
倒海戈的一击，那是何等的非同小可，速度更是令人瞠目，这边刚刚浮现而出，那边已经劈到了青甲古魔颈项的三尺之处。
The two collided with a deafening boom.
duǒ wú kě duǒ ！
躲无可躲！
However, it was different from what Lin Xuan had expected. The green-armored ancient demon did not retreat even after being injured; instead, its aura continued to rise sharply, reaching the peak of late-stage Divination Realm. There seemed to be no intention of stopping, as it continued to grow stronger.
lín xuān liǎn shàng liú lù chū dà xǐ zhī sè 。
林轩脸上流露出大喜之色。
Could it...?
ruò néng zài zhòng chuāng cǐ mó ， nà yǎn qián de qíng jǐng jiù tài měi miào le 。
若能再重创此魔，那眼前的情景就太美妙了。
Lin Xuan’s expression turned grim. It was clear that the opponent had used some secret technique, but could he have actually ascended to the realm of high-ranking cultivators?
zhè ge niàn tou rú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān zhuǎn guò ， jiù kàn jiàn nà qīng jiǎ gǔ mó jǔ qǐ le shǒu 。
这个念头如电光火石般转过，就看见那青甲古魔举起了手。
Indeed, a high-ranking cultivator.
huī guāng yī shǎn ， yī jiān ruì de gǔ rèn cóng tā shǒu zhǒu shàng fú xiàn 。
灰光一闪，一尖锐的骨刃从他手肘上浮现。
In the human world, those who reached late-stage Essence Body were called high-ranking cultivators. This title was both prestigious and enviable.
zhǎng chǐ xǔ ， biǎo miàn chán rào zhe huī sè de diàn de ……，… bù ， bú duì ， nà dōng xī bìng fēi diàn hú ， ér shì huī sè de xiàng shī qì yī yàng de gǔ guài zhī wù 。
长尺许，表面缠绕着灰色的电的……，…不，不对，那东西并非电弧，而是灰色的像尸气一样的古怪之物。
After all, in the human world, where both essence energy and resources were scarce, reaching late-stage Essence Body was almost at the pinnacle of cultivation. Late-stage Essence Body cultivators were like local overlords in the human world—just a shake of their foot could send shockwaves across the land.
lín xuān yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
林轩也说不清楚。
As for Separation and Union Realm cultivators, while they existed, they generally stayed out of the affairs of others. They were elusive, like dragons seen only from afar. Even other low-ranking cultivators rarely had the chance to see a Separation and Union Realm cultivator in person; that realm was already legendary in the human world.
bù zhī dào méi yǒu guān xì ， guǎn tā shì shén me ， duì fāng yìng fù rú cǐ cāng cù ， yǐ yǒu xīn suàn wú yì ， jué duì wú fǎ jiē xià zhè yī jī ， jiù suàn bù yǔn luò ， zhòng shāng yě shì nán miǎn de 。
不知道没有关系，管它是什么，对方应付如此仓促，以有心算无意，绝对无法接下这一击，就算不陨落，重伤也是难免的。
In contrast, the spirit realm and ancient demon realm were different. As upper-level realms, they boasted richer essence energy and resources compared to the human world. The disparity between them was immense.
lín xuān yǐ zài zhǔn bèi hòu zhe ， jiù tīng jiàn yī jù dà de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà gǔ rèn shàng de huī qì yī shǎn ， yǐ shuài xiān lán zài le guāng rèn de miàn qián 。
林轩已在准备后着，就听见一巨大的爆裂声传入耳朵，那骨刃上的灰气一闪，已率先拦在了光刃的面前。
The gap between their strengths could be measured in ten thousand miles. Even cultivators at late-stage Divination Realm weren’t weak; but when facing true powerhouses, it was like comparing apples to oranges.
liǎng zhě zhuàng jī ， bào liè shēng nà jiào yí gè jīng tiān dòng dì 。
两者撞击，爆裂声那叫一个惊天动地。
Despite the differences in strength, the cultivation systems were remarkably similar. Very few managed to reach the Divination Realm, and advancing from mid-stage to late-stage Divination Realm required immense effort.
rán ér ， yǔ xiǎng xiàng de bù tóng 。
然而，与想象的不同。
Thus, high-ranking cultivators—whether humans or ancient demons—were often referred to as such. Their status was akin to that of late-stage Essence Body cultivators in the human world.
qīng jiǎ gǔ mó bù jǐn méi yǒu yīn wèi shòu shāng ér hòu tuì bàn bù ， xiāng fǎn ， tā hún shēn de qì xī ， hái zài bù tíng de pān shēng zhe 。
青甲古魔不仅没有因为受伤而后退半步，相反，他浑身的气息，还在不停的攀升着。
High-ranking cultivators were nearly invincible in both the spirit realm and demon realm, capable of dominating all who stood before them.
shuō yī lù bào zhǎng yě bù wèi guò ， hěn kuài jiù kuáng biāo dào le fēn shén zhōng qī de diān fēng ， ér qiě sī háo méi yǒu tíng zhǐ de yì tú ， yī jiù zài bù tíng de zī zhǎng zhe 。
说一路暴涨也不为过，很快就狂飙到了分神中期的巅峰，而且丝毫没有停止的意图，依旧在不停的滋长着。
This wasn’t an exaggeration; after all,transcend the tribulation Realm powerhouses or Holy Ancestors were like Separation and Union Realm cultivators in the human world—rarely seen except in legends.
nán dào shuō ……，…
难道说……，…
The title "high-ranking cultivator" wasn't just because late-stage Divination Realm was the closest to the threshold oftranscend the tribulation Realm. It was due to the immense difficulty in advancing from mid-stage to late-stage Divination Realm, which could be compared to an impossible feat.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
林轩的脸色有些难看了。
Out of ten thousand mid-stage cultivators who labored diligently, only one might succeed in reaching the later stage.
háo wú yí wèn ， duì fāng shì shǐ yòng le shén me mì shù ， kě nán dào tā jū rán néng gòu jiāng xiū wèi tí shēng dào fēn shén hòu qī dà xiū shì de jìng jiè me ？
毫无疑问，对方是使用了什么秘术，可难道他居然能够将修为提升到分神后期大修士的境界么？
In comparison, the strength difference between a late-stage and mid-stage high-ranking cultivator was incomparable. Lin Xuan knew all these details about different cultivation realms’ characteristics and difficulties. Thus, his expression became increasingly incredulous at this moment.
bù cuò ， jiù shì dà xiū shì 。
不错，就是大修士。
The green-armored ancient demon was indeed at mid-stage Divination Realm, but its essence energy purity seemed to be just entering that stage. If he hadn’t underestimated it, the demon had been stuck in that bottleneck for a long time.
zài rén jiè ， yuán yīng hòu qī cún zài ， dé dào le dà xiū shì de chēng hū 。
在人界，元婴后期存在，得到了大修士的称呼。
Even if it used some secret technique to temporarily boost its power, there was no reason it could leap over a realm and enter late-stage Divination Realm.
zhè ge tóu xián zūn guì ér lìng rén xiàn mù 。
这个头衔尊贵而令人羡慕。
This was utterly illogical!
yào zhī dào ， rén jiè bù lùn líng qì hái shì zī yuán ， dōu hěn xī bó ， néng gòu xiū liàn dào yuán yīng hòu qī jī hū yǐ shì dào le dǐng le 。 yuán yīng hòu qī de cún zài ， zài rén jiè ， zhǐ shì yī fāng bà zhǔ ， duò duò jiǎo sì fāng luàn chàn de rén wù 。
要知道，人界不论灵气还是资源，都很稀薄，能够修炼到元婴后期几乎已是到了顶了。元婴后期的存在，在人界，只是一方霸主，跺跺脚四方乱颤的人物。
However, as the ancient demon’s essence energy continued to rise, Lin Xuan's expression turned extremely grim. He raised his right hand, sending a sharp black ray from his fingertip.
zhì yú lí hé ， suī rán yě yǒu ， dàn yì bān yǐ shì bù wèn shì shì de ， shén lóng jiàn shǒu bù jiàn wěi ， bié shuō qí tā de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn yuán yīng qī cún zài yě hěn shǎo yǒu jī huì yī dǔ lí hé qī xiū shì de zhēn miàn mù ， nà ge jìng jiè ， zài rén jiè ， yǐ shǔ yú chuán shuō ……
至于离合，虽然也有，但一般已是不问世事的，神龙见首不见尾，别说其他的小修仙者，就算元婴期存在也很少有机会一睹离合期修士的真面目，那个境界，在人界，已属于传说……
The ray was pure black, about the thickness of a thumb, and its speed and power were astonishing—far beyond ordinary five-element spells.
líng jiè yǔ gǔ mó jiè dāng rán yòu bù xiāng tóng ， zuò wéi shàng wèi jiè miàn ， líng qì nóng dù yǔ zī yuán fēng fù ， yǔ rén jiè xiāng bǐ ， nà shì wán quán bù néng tóng rì ér yǔ de 。
灵界与古魔界当然又不相同，作为上位界面，灵气浓度与资源丰富，与人界相比，那是完全不能同日而语的。
A loud "bang" echoed as it struck the green-armored ancient demon's forehead.
shuō shuāng fāng de chā jù ， yǒu shí wàn bā qiān lǐ ， nà yě shì yì diǎn dōu bù wèi guò 。
说双方的差距，有十万八千里，那也是一点都不为过。
Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of great joy. Although Mysterious Black Drill wasn’t his top-tier technique, it was still quite powerful, far surpassing similar rank treasures. The opponent had been hit directly; even if he didn't fall, ...
yuán yīng yě hǎo ， lí hé yě bà ， zài líng jiè suī bù néng shuō ruò ， dàn yǔ qiáng zhě ， yě shì fēng mǎ niú bù zhān biān de 。
元婴也好，离合也罢，在灵界虽不能说弱，但与强者，也是风马牛不沾边的。
But before this thought could fully form, Lin Xuan's expression froze in place.
His expression was a mix of sorrow and anger, indescribable in words. The Twin Demons of Tianlan were ruthless individuals; not only had they killed countless cultivators, but ordinary mortals who fell into their hands numbered in the thousands.
Describing them as having filled fields with corpses would be an understatement.

But now, his beloved wife was gone.
