shà shí jiān ， zhěng gè tiān dì ， sì hū dōu hěn hěn huàng dòng le yī xià 。 mèng
霎时间，整个天地，似乎都狠狠晃动了一下。夢
In an instant, the entire world seemed to shake violently.
yī quān yī quān de bō wén mí sàn ér chū ， cǐ kè de tiān kōng ， jiù rú tóng bèi tóu xià le yī méi shí zǐ de xiǎo hú ， píng jìng bèi dǎ pò ， yú bō xiàng zhe sì zhōu dàng yàng ér chū 。
一圈一圈的波纹弥散而出，此刻的天空，就如同被投下了一枚石子的小湖，平静被打破，余波像着四周荡漾而出。
A series of ripples spread outwards, and at this moment, the sky appeared like a small lake that had been tossed by a stone; its calm was broken, and the ripples spread outward.
zhè yī cì zhuàng jī ， shēng shì nà jiào jīng rén yǐ jí ， ér yī jī bù zhōng ， liǎng rén lì kè yuǎn dùn ér zǒu 。
这一次撞击，声势那叫惊人以极，而一击不中，两人立刻远遁而走。
The impact of this collision was astonishingly powerful. After missing their first attack, both parties immediately retreated to a safe distance.
lín xuān jiān tóu yī dǒu ， shī zhǎn jiǔ tiān wēi bù ， yǐ chū xiàn zài shù shí zhàng zhī wài 。
林轩肩头一抖，施展九天微步，已出现在数十丈之外。
Lin Xuan's shoulder trembled as he used Nine Heavens Micro-step, appearing several dozen feet away. The ancient demon in black robes also performed the same move; regarding spatial techniques, his mastery surpassed Lin Xuan’s by a notch.
ér nà hēi páo gǔ mó ， yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò ， ruò lùn duì kōng jiān shén tōng de zhǎng wò ， zhè jiā huo ， hái shèng guò lín xuān yī chóu 。
而那黑袍古魔，也是同样的动作，若论对空间神通的掌握，这家伙，还胜过林轩一筹。
In mid-air, Lin Xuan emerged, his face turning an iron gray color.
bàn kōng zhōng ， lín xuān xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， liǎn shàng ， zé shì yī piàn tiě qīng zhī sè 。
半空中，林轩显现而出，脸上，则是一片铁青之色。
That punch seemed evenly matched, but he was slightly at a disadvantage. His chest still churned with blood and qi. He had never encountered such a situation before. Knowing that due to his unique circumstances, his abilities far surpassed those of other cultivators of the same rank, yet his body's resilience did not fall short either.
gāng gāng nà yī quán ， kàn shì píng fēn qiū sè ， rán ér zì jǐ què shāo là xià fēng ， xiōng kǒu de qì xuè hái zài bù tíng fān yǒng 。
刚刚那一拳，看似平分秋色，然而自己却稍落下风，胸口的气血还在不停翻涌。
Moreover, he had just unleashed the newly mastered Nine Heavens Divine Net, which transformed into armor with incredible defensive capabilities and added effects on magical force. Despite this, he was still slightly inferior.
zhè yàng de shì qíng ， tā kě yǐ shuō ， hái cóng lái méi yǒu yù jiàn guò ， yào zhī dào ， lín xuān yīn wèi jì yù tè shū ， yī shēn shén tōng ， yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn jiù shēn tǐ de jiān yìng chéng dù ， yě bù shū yú tóng jiē de tiān dì líng zú 。
这样的事情，他可以说，还从来没有遇见过，要知道，林轩因为际遇特殊，一身神通，远胜同阶修仙者，但就身体的坚硬程度，也不输于同阶的天地灵族。
It was truly unbelievable!
hé kuàng cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā hái jiāng xīn lǐng wù de jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng shī zhǎn ér chū ， suǒ huàn huà chū lái de zhè shēn kǎi jiǎ ， bù jǐn fáng yù lì jīng rén wú bǐ ， ér qiě duì yú fǎ shù lì qì ， yě dōu yǒu yí dìng de jiā chéng xiào guǒ ， jí biàn zhè yàng ， zì jǐ yī jiù xùn sè yī chóu 。
何况此时此刻，他还将新领悟的九天神罗相施展而出，所幻化出来的这身铠甲，不仅防御力惊人无比，而且对于法术力气，也都有一定的加成效果，即便这样，自己依旧逊色一筹。
He was indeed worthy of being the True Demon Ancestor’s vessel; it was a monster!
tài bù kě sī yì le ！
太不可思议了！
Lin Xuan muttered to himself but showed no signs of fear. He took a deep breath, calming his chest's tumultuous qi, and then shouted loudly. His sleeve flapped, producing a clear ringing sound as dozens of fiery red flying swords emerged from his sleeves, swirling and dancing in front of him.
bù kuì shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ wèi zì jǐ zhǔn bèi de qū qiào ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì guài wù ！
不愧是真魔始祖为自己准备的躯壳，简直就是怪物！
Lin Xuan once again revealed one of his prized possessions.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dí gū ， liǎn shàng què háo wú wèi jù zhī sè ， shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng xiōng kǒu fān yǒng de qì xuè píng fù xià qù ， suí hòu yī shēng dà hē ， xiù páo yī dǒu ， dùn shí yī zhèn qīng míng shēng céng chū bù qióng ， shù shí kǒu huǒ hóng sè fēi jiàn cóng qí xiù kǒu zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， huà wèi yī dào dào chǐ xǔ cháng jiàn guāng zài shēn qián pán xuán fēi wǔ 。
林轩心中嘀咕，脸上却毫无畏惧之色，深深呼吸，将胸口翻涌的气血平复下去，随后一声大喝，袖袍一抖，顿时一阵清鸣声层出不穷，数十口火红色飞剑从其袖口中鱼游而出，化为一道道尺许长剑光在身前盘旋飞舞。
A master’s first move reveals their true skill. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword truly caught everyone's attention.
lín xuān zài cì jì chū le zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù 。
林轩再次祭出了自己的本命宝物。
With a slight flick of his right hand, all the sword lights trembled as they emitted a dazzling light, instantly transforming into nine swords, forming hundreds of identical sword beams like waves on the sea.
háng jia yī chū shǒu jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu ， zhè jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yī chū ， dàng zhēn shì lìng rén wèi zhī cè mù 。
行家一出手就知有没有，这九宫须臾剑一出，当真是令人为之侧目。
The black-robed youth, who was over a hundred feet away, saw this scene and showed a hint of seriousness. He knew the power of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword but did not dare to underestimate it even slightly.
lín xuān yòu shǒu yī tái ， qīng qīng chōng zhe qián fāng yì diǎn shà shí jiān ， suǒ yǒu jiàn guāng yī chàn suí hòu líng máng dà zuò ， jìng shùn jiān yī huà wèi jiǔ ， biàn huàn chéng shù bǎi dào yì bān wú èr de jiàn guāng céng céng dié dié ， yóu rú hǎi miàn qǐ fú de bō làng 。
林轩右手一抬，轻轻冲着前方一点霎时间，所有剑光一颤随后灵芒大做，竟瞬间一化为九，变幻成数百道一般无二的剑光层层叠叠，犹如海面起伏的波浪。
However, despite his respect, he naturally wasn't afraid of this treasure.
bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn nà hēi páo shào nián jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī níng zhòng zhī sè 。
百余丈远那黑袍少年见了此幕，脸上闪过一丝凝重之色。
With a flick of his left hand, black light flashed, and in an instant, his entire arm vanished, replaced by a swirling mass of demonic fog. The fog churned into a vortex that seemed bottomless, with eerie winds and the faint howls of ghosts emanating from within.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn wēi lì rú hé tā suī bù néng zuò dào wán quán yǒu shù ， dàn xīn zhōng yě jué bù gǎn xiǎo kàn fēn háo de 。
九宫须臾剑威力如何他虽不能做到完全有数，但心中也绝不敢小看分毫的。
The sound was so chilling it sent shivers down one's spine. Suddenly, whistling sounds filled the air as magical runes appeared around the vortex. These runes flashed before rushing into the vortex. Soon after, a gray-white light column burst forth.
bù guò zhòng shì guī zhòng shì ， tā xīn zhōng zì rán yě bìng bù wèi jù cǐ bǎo 。
不过重视归重视，他心中自然也并不畏惧此宝。
This light column dispersed, revealing dozens of gray rays that entered his vision.
zuǒ shǒu yī tái zhǐ jiàn yǒu hēi de guāng máng yī shǎn ， shà shí jiān ， zhěng tiáo shǒu bì xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī tuán mó wù fú xiàn zài miàn qián 。
左手一抬只见黝黑的光芒一闪，霎时间，整条手臂消失不见，取而代之的是一团魔雾浮现在面前。
The shape of these rays was peculiar, as if they contained something inside.
suí hòu nà mó wù yī zhèn fān yǒng ， jū rán huà chéng le yí gè xuán wō ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， lǐ miàn yīn fēng zhèn zhèn ， yǒu lì guǐ de páo xiāo shēng cóng lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn chuán le chū lái 。
随后那魔雾一阵翻涌，居然化成了一个漩涡，深不见底，里面阴风阵阵，有厉鬼的咆哮声从里面隐隐传了出来。
As the rays dissipated, long and short bone spears appeared in front of him.
nà shēng yīn qī lì yǐ jí ， ràng rén cóng xīn dǐ ， shēng qǐ yī gǔ hán yì ， suí hòu sōu sōu de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， què shì nà xuán wō de zhōu wéi ， bù zhī hé shí ， fú xiàn chū xǔ duō qí miào de mó wén le ， shǎo qǐng mó wén yī shǎn ， fēng yōng jìn xuán wō lǐ miàn ， jǐn jiē zhe ， yī dào huī bái sè de guāng zhù ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái 。
那声音凄厉以极，让人从心底，升起一股寒意，随后嗖嗖的破空声传入耳朵里，却是那漩涡的周围，不知何时，浮现出许多奇妙的魔纹了，少顷魔纹一闪，蜂拥进漩涡里面，紧接着，一道灰白色的光柱，从里面喷薄出来。
Each ray contained several bone spears. Thus, their number matched those produced by the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
suí hòu nà guāng zhù sàn kāi ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì shù shí dào huī máng yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随后那光柱散开，取而代之的是数十道灰芒映入了眼帘。
Lin Xuan frowned.
huī máng de xíng zhuàng shèn shì qí tè ， fǎng fú lǐ miàn bāo guǒ zhe xiē xǔ dōng xī shì de 。
灰芒的形状甚是奇特，仿佛里面包裹着些许东西似的。
Was the opponent imitating or trying to match his attack head-on?
suí hòu ， huī máng sàn kāi ， guǒ rán ， cháng duǎn bù yī de gǔ máo chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
随后，灰芒散开，果然，长短不一的骨矛出现在了面前。
Regardless of the purpose, he believed that sheer quantity could block his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword's barrage.
měi yī dào huī máng suǒ bāo hán de gǔ máo dōu yǒu shù bǐng zhī duō ， rú cǐ yī lái ， qí shù liàng jū rán yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suǒ biàn huàn chū lái de jiàn guāng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
每一道灰芒所包含的骨矛都有数柄之多，如此一来，其数量居然与九宫须臾剑所变幻出来的剑光相差仿佛。
That was too naive.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。
林轩眉头一皱。
"Break!"
duì fāng shì zài mó fǎng ， hái shì xiǎng yào yǔ zì jǐ zhēn jiān duì mài máng ？
对方是在模仿，还是想要与自己针尖对麦芒？
With a raised right hand, Lin Xuan forcefully pointed forward. As he did so, hundreds of slanted rays trembled and turned into a fiery red light halo, flying towards Shihe…
bù guǎn mù dì shì shén me ， yǐ wéi shù liàng zú gòu jiù kě yǐ dǎng zhù zì jǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de cuán shè 。
不管目的是什么，以为数量足够就可以挡住自己九宫须臾剑的攒射。
The black-robed youth didn't respond; instead, he quickly formed hand seals. The bone spears quivered, producing ghostly wails as countless souls roared, not backing down, directly confronting the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
tài tiān zhēn le 。
太天真了。
Their attacks were still ongoing.
“ pò ！”
“破！”
Lin Xuan's hand trembled again, and the Mountain Golden Sun Diagram appeared in his palm, gently unfurling to reveal an ancient yet beautiful scroll.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， zài cì níng zhòng yì cháng de xiàng qián miàn diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de xié guāng yī chàn ， wēng míng zhī xià ， huà wèi yī piàn huǒ hóng sè de guāng xiá ， fēi yě shì de cháo zhe zhè biān xí hé …
林轩右手抬起，再次凝重异常的像前面点去，随着他的动作，数以百计的斜光一颤，嗡鸣之下，化为一片火红色的光霞，飞也似的朝着这边席和…
A spell was cast, and Lin Xuan activated this treasure, emitting a burst of light as nine massive mountains entered his vision.
nà hēi páo shào nián jiàn le ， gèng bù dá huà ， shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， gǔ máo qīng chàn zhī xià ， dài qǐ yī piàn guǐ kū láng háo ， tóng shí wàn hún páo xiāo ， háo bù shì ruò ， zhí jiē xiàng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yíng shàng qù le 。
那黑袍少年见了，更不答话，双手一掐，骨矛轻颤之下，带起一片鬼哭狼嚎，同时万魂咆哮，毫不示弱，直接像九宫须臾剑迎上去了。
The heights varied; even the smallest one towered over a hundred feet. Each mountain's shape was unique, and their imposing presence rose into the sky.
ér liǎng rén de gōng jī dōu hái méi yǒu jié shù 。
而两人的攻击都还没有结束。
"Fall!"
lín xuān shǒu yī dǒu ， shān yuè jīn wū tú yòu zài zhǐ zhǎng jiān fú xiàn ér chū ， qīng qīng zhǎn kāi ， yìng rù yǎn lián de shì nà gǔ piáo ér měi lì de huà juàn 。
林轩手一抖，山岳金乌图又在指掌间浮现而出，轻轻展开，映入眼帘的是那古朴而美丽的画卷。
Lin Xuan pointed forward with a finger. The nine mountains flashed and disappeared from their original positions. When they reappeared, they were above the black-robed youth.
suí hòu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， lín xuān jì qǐ le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zhǐ jiàn guāng yùn pēn bó ， jiǔ zuò jù dà de shān fēng yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
随后一道法诀打出，林轩祭起了这件宝物，只见光韵喷薄，九座巨大的山峰映入了眼帘中。
They fell like rain, crashing down on him.
gāo ǎi bù yī ， dàn zuì xiǎo de yī zuò gāo yě yǒu bǎi zhàng yú ， měi yī zuò de xíng zhuàng ， dōu shì gè bù xiāng tóng ， chōng tiān de qì shì suí zhī ér qǐ 。
高矮不一，但最小的一座高也有百丈余，每一座的形状，都是各不相同，冲天的气势随之而起。
Moreover, during their descent, these nine mountains rapidly expanded. Originally no more than several hundred feet high, when they finally landed, they had grown tenfold or more.
“ luò ！”
“落！”
Such massive objects could easily be described as overshadowing the sky and blocking out the sun. The weight of each mountain was beyond measure; even cultivators with the power to move mountains would find it difficult to intercept such a large object.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， nà jiǔ zuò shān fēng yī shǎn ， jū rán cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn ， dāng zài cì yìng rù yǎn lián ， yǐ chū xiàn zài le nà hēi páo shào nián de tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
林轩一指向前点出，那九座山峰一闪，居然从原地消失不见，当再次映入眼帘，已出现在了那黑袍少年的头顶上面。
The ancient demon in black robes couldn't help but turn pale. Meanwhile, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword clashed with his bone spears, making it hard to determine who had the upper hand in the short term. However, intercepting these mountain impacts was no easy task.
suí hòu fēn luò rú yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì fāng zá le xià qù 。
随后分落如雨，向着对方砸了下去。
The wisest choice would be to use teleportation techniques. But that Lin boy was cunning and deceitful; he likely anticipated this move and might even have set a trap for him.
bù jǐn rú cǐ ， zài xià luò guò chéng zhōng ， nà jiǔ zuò shān fēng ， dōu hái zài jí sù péng zhàng zhe ， yuán běn gāo bù guò shù bǎi zhàng ， rán ér dàng zhēn zhèng là xià de yī kè ， yǐ bào zēng le shí bèi bù zhǐ 。
不仅如此，在下落过程中，那九座山峰，都还在急速膨胀着，原本高不过数百丈，然而当真正落下的一刻，已暴增了十倍不止。
If he did that, wouldn't he fall into his own trap?
zhè yàng de páng rán dà wù ， yòng zhē tiān bì rì lái xíng róng yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò ， měi yī zuò de shān de zhòng liàng ， hé zhǐ wàn jūn ， jiù suàn xiū xiān zhě yǒu yí shān dǎo hǎi de dà shén tōng ， rán ér jiāng yuán dì bù dòng de shān fēng yí chú ， yǔ jiē zhù zhè yàng zá guò lái de páng rán jù wù ， gēn běn jiù shì liǎng mǎ shì de 。
这样的庞然大物，用遮天蔽rì来形容一点也不为过，每一座的山的重量，何止万钧，就算修仙者有移山倒海的大神通，然而将原地不动的山峰移除，与接住这样砸过来的庞然巨物，根本就是两码事的。
His mind raced, but it didn’t affect his actions. He calmly raised his hand, and black light surged forth, forming a layer of dark-black light barrier above his head.
nà hēi páo gǔ mó ， yě bù yóu de bó rán biàn sè ， lìng yī biān ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǔ tā biàn huàn chū lái de gǔ máo zhèng chán dòu zhuī zhú ， duǎn shí jiān nèi nán yǐ fēn chū qiáng ruò shèng fù ， ér duì fāng zhè shān fēng de zhòng jī xiǎng yào jiē xià kě shì hěn bù róng yì 。
那黑袍古魔，也不由得勃然变色，另一边，九宫须臾剑与他变幻出来的骨矛正缠斗追逐，短时间内难以分出强弱胜负，而对方这山峰的重击想要接下可是很不容易。
Boom!
zuì cōng míng xuǎn zé wú yí shì shǐ yòng shùn yí zhī shù ， bù guò nà lín xiǎo zi ， jiān zhà jiǎo huá ， shí yǒu ** zǎo jiù zài fáng zhe zhè yī shǒu ， hái yǒu kě néng shì gù yì qǐng jūn rù wèng 。
最聪明选择无疑是使用瞬移之术，不过那林小子，奸诈狡猾，十有**早就在防着这一手，还有可能是故意请君入瓮。
The nine mountains crashed down in the next moment, their explosive impacts continuously shaking the light barrier. When the fifth mountain landed, the barrier finally couldn't withstand it, cracking loudly before shattering.
zì jǐ ruò nà me zuò ， qǐ bù shì luò rù quān tào lǐ le ？
自己若那么做，岂不是落入圈套里了？
However, this brief gap gave the ancient demon in black robes a chance to catch his breath. A hair's breadth made all the difference.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， què sī háo bù yǐng xiǎng tā chū shǒu ， zhǐ jiàn tā bù huāng bù máng de dān shǒu yī yáng ， shà shí jiān ， hēi máng zhòu qǐ ， yī céng yǒu hēi sè guāng mù zài qí tóu dǐng fú xiàn ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，却丝毫不影响他出手，只见他不慌不忙的单手一扬，霎时间，黑芒骤起，一层黝黑色光幕在其头顶浮现而出。
He muttered something and then raised his head as he opened his mouth, emitting several thin strands of dark-black silk that transformed into nine monstrous creatures with dragon heads and elephant bodies. They roared like beasts and charged towards the mountains above their heads.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
These monsters were enormous but still insignificant compared to the mountains. Each faced a mountain, nine in total.
xià yī kè ， nà jiǔ zuò jù fēng hōng rán zá zhì le ， pēng pēng pēng de bào liè shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， měi yī zuò jù fēng là xià ， dū huì dài qǐ guāng mù de jù liè chàn dǒu ， dāng dì wǔ zuò shān fēng zá luò ， nà guāng mù zhōng yú dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， cī lā yī shēng suì liè diào le 。
下一刻，那九座巨峰轰然砸至了，嘭嘭嘭的爆裂声不停传入耳朵，每一座巨峰落下，都会带起光幕的剧烈颤抖，当第五座山峰砸落，那光幕终于抵挡不住，刺啦一声碎裂掉了。
"Boom! Boom!"
rán ér zhè duǎn zàn de jiàn xì ， què wèi hēi páo gǔ mó zhēng qǔ dào le chuǎn qì zhī xī ， chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
然而这短暂的间隙，却为黑袍古魔争取到了喘气之息，差之毫厘谬以千里，就是这个道理。
The loud noises continued as an incredible scene unfolded: they actually managed to hold up the mountains.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to shake violently.
A series of ripples spread outwards, and at this moment, the sky appeared like a small lake that had been tossed by a stone; its calm was broken, and the ripples spread outward.
The impact of this collision was astonishingly powerful. After missing their first attack, both parties immediately retreated to a safe distance.
