yī jiàn cǐ mù ， lín xuān miàn sè yī biàn ， rán ér huà yīn wèi luò ， liǎng gǔ jīng rén yǐ jí de líng yā ， biàn chōng tiān ér qǐ ， bái guāng hēi qì ， hěn hěn de zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
一见此幕，林轩面sè一变，然而话音未落，两股惊人以极的灵压，便冲天而起，白光黑气，狠狠的撞在了一起。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's expression changed. However, before he could finish his sentence, two incredibly powerful spiritual pressures shot up into the sky, colliding with each other in a flash.
wú shēng wú xī ， kě jǐn jiē zhe ， jiù jiàn yī dào bái méngméng de jù fēng chōng tiān ér qǐ ， zhěng gè tiān kōng ， dōu kāi shǐ niǔ qū ， jǐn jǐn guò le jǐ xī ， biàn yǒu “ cī lā ” yī shēng ， fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ 。
无声无息，可紧接着，就见一道白méngméng的飓风冲天而起，整个天空，都开始扭曲，仅仅过了几息，便有“刺啦”一声，仿佛布锦被撕破的声音传入了耳朵里。
Silent and invisible, but soon a faint white hurricane rose from the collision, distorting the entire sky. In just a few breaths, a "sizzling" sound echoed through his ears as if a piece of cloth had been torn apart.
“ zhè qù ……”
“这去……”
"This way..."
yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， jīng lì dà chǎng miàn zhī duō ， kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， yě bù yóu de yǒu xiē fā chù ， kōng jiān bèi sī liè diào le 。
以林轩见识广博，经历大场面之多，看见这一幕，也不由得有些发怵，空间被撕裂掉了。
With Lin Xuan's extensive experience and exposure to grand scenes, he couldn't help but feel a bit frightened when he saw this; space was being torn open.
zhèng què de shuō ， shì bèi liǎng gǔ jù dà de lì liàng sī chě ， zhěng gè suì liè diào le 。
正确的说，是被两股巨大的力量撕扯，整个碎裂掉了。
More accurately, two immense forces were tearing it apart. For a cultivator like Lin Xuan at his level, slicing through the void wasn't impossible, but with his strength, he could only tear a few dozen feet of the space.
zhǎn pò xū kōng ， duì yú lín xuān zhè yàng děng jí de xiū xiān zhě ， qí shí bìng fēi bù kě sī yì ， dàn yǐ tā de shí lì ， chōng qí liàng yě jiù jiāng kōng jiān sī chě chū zhàng xǔ de liè fèng ér yǐ 。
斩破虚空，对于林轩这样等级的修仙者，其实并非不可思议，但以他的实力，充其量也就将空间撕扯出丈许的裂缝而已。
But in front of him...
kě yǎn qián ……
可眼前……
Despite the great distance between them, Lin Xuan could still see clearly through the Heavenly Wind Divine Eye. The sky was torn open by a gap that stretched for over a hundred miles. Even from such a distance, Lin Xuan faintly sensed thelaw and order power permeating it.
jǐn guǎn xiāng jù shèn yuǎn ， rán ér tōng guò tiān fēng shén mù ， lín xuān yī jiù kě yǐ kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， zhěng gè tiān kōng ， bèi sī chě chū de kòng xì ， zú yǐ bǎi lǐ ， lín xuān zài zhè me yuǎn de jù lí ， dōu yǐn yǐn gǎn jué dào lǐ miàn suǒ mí màn chū lái de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
尽管相距甚远，然而通过天风神目，林轩依旧可以看得清清楚楚，整个天空，被撕扯出的空隙，足以百里，林轩在这么远的距离，都隐隐感觉到里面所弥漫出来的法则之力。
That was an overwhelming destructive force that left one feeling utterly hopeless.
nà shì yī gǔ lìng rén jué wàng de huǐ miè zhī qì 。
那是一股令人绝望的毁灭之气。
Only great cultivators who had passed through tribulations could reach this realm of the laws of heaven and earth.
tiān dì fǎ zé ， yě zhǐ yǒu dù jié qī de dà néng cún zài ， cái néng chù jí dào de lǐng yù 。
天地法则，也只有渡劫期的大能存在，才能触及到的领域。
The sky continued to be torn apart by this violent force. After some time, a rumbling sound of thunder filled his ears as a bright light appeared on the distant horizon.
tiān kōng bèi zhè gǔ kuáng bào de lì liàng bù tíng sī chě ， yòu guò piàn kè ， gǔn gǔn de léi míng shēng hū xiào zhe chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn nà yuǎn fāng tiān jì ， yī dào míng liàng yǐ jí de guāng xiàn liàng qǐ 。
天空被这股狂暴的力量不停撕扯，又过片刻，滚滚的雷鸣声呼啸着传入耳朵，只见那远方天际，一道明亮以极的光线亮起。
At first, it seemed like just a faint streak, but in an instant, it thickened into a pillar of light. Simultaneously, a wave of air surged out with the heart-stirring light spreading everywhere.
kāi shǐ ， sì hū zhǐ yǒu yī sī ， dàn zhuǎn shùn jiān ， jiù yóu xì biàn cū ， tóng shí ， yī gǔ qì làng suí zhī ér qǐ ， bàn suí zhè nà lìng rén xīn jì de guāng xiàn ， mí màn xiàng sì zhōu gè chù 。
开始，似乎只有一丝，但转瞬间，就由细变粗，同时，一股气浪随之而起，伴随这那令人心悸的光线，弥漫像四周各处。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
The loud noise continued non-stop, and the speed was so fast that it left him speechless. Wherever he passed, mountains and trees crumbled under his might as if they were made of paper, turning into dust effortlessly.
jù xiǎng shēng lián mián bù jué ， sù dù zhī kuài ， gèng shì lìng rén chēng mù ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， bù guǎn shì shān shí hái shì cǎo mù ， zài tā de wēi shì xià dōu yǒu ruò zhǐ hú ， bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de huà wèi jī fěn le 。
巨响声连绵不绝，速度之快，更是令人瞠目，所过之处，不管是山石还是草木，在他的威势下都有若纸糊，被轻而易举的化为齑粉了。
"Bad... things are getting bad."
“ bù …… bù hǎo le 。”
“不……不好了。”
Originally, Lin Xuan thought that being several thousand miles apart would ensure he wouldn't be caught in this. However, at this moment, a look of fear appeared on his face.
yuán běn yǐ wéi xiāng gé shù qiān lǐ ， wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě bú huì bèi bō jí juǎn rù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què lù chū jǐ fēn jīng kǒng zhī sè。
原本以为相隔数千里，无论如何，自己也不会被bō及卷入，然而此时此刻，林轩脸上却lù出几分惊恐之sè。
Tribulation period cultivators couldn't be judged by ordinary standards; he had underestimated the destruction caused by their battle. Almost instantly, the light wave was about to reach him, and there was no way for Lin Xuan to dodge it except to endure it head-on.
dù jié qī cún qǐ néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ， zì jǐ hái shì tài xiǎo kàn tā men dòu fǎ suǒ zào chéng de pò huài ， jī hū shì zhǎ yǎn zhī jiān ， nà guāng bō jiù yǐ jīng kuài yào shā dào yǎn qián ， lín xuān jī hū duǒ wú kě duǒ ， yìng káng shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
渡劫期存岂能用常理揣摩，自己还是太小看他们斗法所造成的破坏，几乎是眨眼之间，那光bō就已经快要杀到眼前，林轩几乎躲无可躲，硬扛是唯一的选择。
Fortunately, Lin Xuan's reaction was swift as well.
hǎo zài lín xuān de fǎn yìng yě shì shí fēn xùn sù 。
好在林轩的反应也是十分迅速。
Although he made a slight mistake at first, his subsequent actions didn't waste any time.
bàn duàn suī rán chū xiàn le yì diǎn shī wù ， dàn jiē xià lái de dòng zuò ， què shì yì diǎn shí jiān yě méi yǒu dān gē 。
半断虽然出现了一点失误，但接下来的动作，却是一点时间也没有耽搁。
He waved his sleeves, and a cluster of five-colored flames emerged from his sleeves. Only the size of an egg, but in an instant, they burst into a fierce blaze. The color changed from a lustrous blue to a deep sea-blue.
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， yī tuán wǔ sè de huǒ yàn jiù cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， bù guò jī dàn dà xiǎo de yì diǎn ， dàn zhuǎn shí jiān ， jiù xióng xióng bào rán 。
只见他袖袍一拂，一团五sè的火焰就从衣袖中鱼游而出，不过鸡蛋大小的一点，但转时间，就熊熊爆燃。
A terrifying coldness spread outwards, lowering the temperature by several degrees within a few miles. Then Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed forward: "Quickly!"
yán sè yě yóu wǔ sè liú lí ， biàn wèi le dà hǎi yì bān de zhàn lán 。
颜sè也由五sè琉璃，变为了大海一般的湛蓝。
As he moved, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire split into several streams, flying in different directions.
kě pà de hán qì ， mí sàn ér chū ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， wēn dù zhòu rán jiàng dào le chù mù jīng xīn de dì bù ， suí hòu lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ：“ jí ！”
可怕的寒气，弥散而出，方圆数里，温度骤然降到了触目惊心的地步，随后林轩右手抬起，一指向前点去：“疾！”
Each flame merged with the surrounding primordial energy, forming blue ice walls that appeared before his eyes.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， huàn líng tiān huǒ zhòu rán fēn chéng le shù gǔ ， yǐ bù tóng de jiǎo dù ， xiàng qián fēi lüè ér qù le 。
随着他的动作，幻灵天火骤然分成了数股，以不同的角度，像前飞掠而去了。
There were more than a dozen of them, each wall several dozen feet thick. The defensive power was significant.
suí hòu měi yī dào huǒ yàn yǔ zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì hé èr wéi yī ， yī dào dào zhàn lán sè de bīng qiáng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后每一道火焰与周围的天地元气合二为一，一道道湛蓝sè的冰墙出现在视线里。
However, Lin Xuan's expression remained anxious. In such circumstances, using protective treasures would be best, but time was short, so he could only settle for the next best option.
gòng shí yú dào zhī duō ， ér qiě měi yī dǔ bīng qiáng ， dōu hòu shù zhàng yǒu yú ， zhè fáng yù lì ， zì rán shì bù dī 。
共十余道之多，而且每一堵冰墙，都厚数丈有余，这防御力，自然是不低。
Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire was excellent for attacking, but its defensive capabilities were slightly less effective. However, Lin Xuan believed it wouldn't disappoint him.
rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yī jiù tǎn tè ， qí shí ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， jì chū fáng yù bǎo wù shì zuì hǎo de ， rán ér shí jiān shàng lái bù jí ， lín xuān yě jiù zhǐ néng tuì ér qiú qí cì 。
然而林轩脸上的表情，依旧忐忑，其实，这种情况下，祭出防御宝物是最好的，然而时间上来不及，林轩也就只能退而求其次。
Before his thoughts could fully form, the heart-stirring light wave crashed into the ice wall in front of him. The obstacles—rocks and trees alike—were already flattened by the time it reached him. Lin Xuan's expression was grim as he saw the light wave collide with the first ice wall.
huàn líng tiān huǒ gōng dí ， zì shì yì liú ， yòng yú fáng yù ， zuò yòng yào shāo wēi cì shàng nà me yī xiē ， bù guò lín xuān xiāng xìn ， yīng gāi bú huì ràng zì jǐ shī wàng dì 。
幻灵天火攻敌，自是一流，用于防御，作用要稍微次上那么一些，不过林轩相信，应该不会让自己失望地。
It was like throwing an ice cube into a fire; the light wave barely slowed down, and the ice wall melted at an incredible rate before his eyes.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà lìng rén xīn jì de guāng bō， yǐ hōng rán shā dào le ， dǎng zài tā qián miàn de zhàng ài wù ， bù lùn shān shí hái shì shù mù ， jūn yǐ bèi yí wéi píng dì ， lín xuān de liǎn sè níng zhòng wú bǐ ， suí hòu biàn jiàn nà guāng bō， yǔ dǎng zài zuì qián miàn de bīng qiáng zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
脑海中念头尚未转过，那令人心悸的光bō，已轰然杀到了，挡在他前面的障碍物，不论山石还是树木，均已被夷为平地，林轩的脸sè凝重无比，随后便见那光bō，与挡在最前面的冰墙撞在了一起。
The first ice wall, several dozen feet thick, only lasted less than two breaths before it vanished completely.
rú tóng jiāng bīng kuài tóu rù liè huǒ ， guāng bō jǐn jǐn shì bèi zǔ le yī zǔ ， nà bīng qiáng jiù yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù ， xùn sù xiāo róng 。
如同将冰块投入烈火，光bō仅仅是被阻了一阻，那冰墙就以肉眼可见的速度，迅速消融。
"This..."
hòu dá shù zhàng de dì yī dǔ bīng qiáng ， jū rán zhǐ dǐ dǎng le bú dào liǎng xī de gōng fu ， jiù huà wèi le xū wú 。
厚达数丈的第一堵冰墙，居然只抵挡了不到两息的功夫，就化为了虚无。
Lin Xuan's expression turned grim.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Before he could think further, the light wave crashed into the next ice wall with equal force. The result was similar; it melted away instantly.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǒu xiē nán kàn le 。
林轩的脸sè有些难看了。
Of course, the light wave wasn't unscathed either; its power had significantly weakened.
rán ér hái bù děng tā duō zuò sī suǒ ， guāng bō yǐ yǔ hòu miàn de bīng qiáng hěn hěn jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ le ， zhì yú xiào guǒ ， tóng yàng yǔ gāng gāng xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shùn jiān jiù bèi róng huà diào le 。
然而还不等他多做思索，光bō已与后面的冰墙狠狠jī撞在一起了，至于效果，同样与刚刚相差仿佛，瞬间就被融化掉了。
While defensive measures weren't Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire's forte, they were far from useless.
dāng rán ， guāng bō yě bú shì wán hǎo wú sǔn ， wēi lì míng xiǎn xuē ruò le xǔ duō 。
当然，光bō也不是完好无损，威力明显削弱了许多。
Seeing only one ice wall left, Lin Xuan's expression turned serious but not fearful. He raised both hands and quickly cast several hand seals while whispering: "Quickly!"
fáng yù suī rán bú shì zǐ líng tiān huǒ suǒ shàn cháng de ， dàn yě míng xiǎn bú huì shì bǎi shè 。
防御虽然不是籽灵天火所擅长的，但也明显不会是摆设。
Before he could finish speaking, the ice wall rapidly grew in size, transforming into a massive ice mountain that significantly increased its defensive power.
yǎn kàn bīng qiáng zhǐ shèng xià le zuì hòu yī dǔ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè， dàn bìng bù wèi jù shén me ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， jǐ dào fǎ jué kuài rú shǎn diàn de dǎ le shàng qù ， tóng shí qīng chì yī shēng ：“ jí ！”
眼看冰墙只剩下了最后一堵，林轩脸上满是凝重之sè，但并不畏惧什么，双手抬起，几道法诀快如闪电的打了上去，同时轻叱一声：“疾！”
The light wave crashed into it with great force.
huà yīn wèi luò ， biàn jiàn nà bīng qiáng yǐ bù kě sī yì de sù dù fēng zhǎng qǐ lái le 。
话音未落，便见那冰墙以不可思议的速度疯涨起来了。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he wondered if this time, they would hold.
nǎ lǐ hái shì yī dǔ qiáng ， gēn běn jiù biàn dé rú tóng jù dà de bīng shān yī yàng ， fáng yù lì tóng yàng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bào zēng le shí bèi hái duō 。
哪里还是一堵墙，根本就变得如同巨大的冰山一样，防御力同样是非同小可，暴增了十倍还多。
The result was uncertain. But almost immediately, the answer revealed itself.
xià yī kè ， guāng bō hěn hěn de zhuàng jī shàng lái le 。
下一刻，光bō狠狠的撞击上来了。
Although the light wave wasn't specifically aimed at Lin Xuan, it was a leftover from the battle between two tribulation period cultivators. Its power was still shocking; the ice mountain rapidly shrank.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè yī cì ， néng bù néng dǎng zhù ？
林轩瞳孔微缩，这一次，能不能挡住？
Damn!
jié guǒ shì wèi zhī shù 。
结果是未知数。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and swiftly pointed forward as the melting ice mountain began to recover.
dàn jǐn jiē zhe ，〖 dá 〗 àn jiù jiē xiǎo le 。
但紧接着，〖答〗案就揭晓了。
The ice melted while the mountain recovered, reaching a balance over time.
nà guāng bō suī rán bìng fēi zhēn duì lín xuān zhī wù ， shuō chuān le ， jǐn jǐn shì liǎng wèi dù jié qī dà néng huǒ bìng de yú bō， dàn wēi lì yī jiù lìng rén zé shé ， nà bīng shān xùn sù de suō xiǎo le 。
那光bō虽然并非针对林轩之物，说穿了，仅仅是两位渡劫期大能火并的余bō，但威力依旧令人咋舌，那冰山迅速的缩小了。
"Phew!"
kě wù ！
可恶！
Relieved, Lin Xuan realized that his safety was secure. The entire process seemed complex but only took a few breaths. The light wave came quickly and left just as swiftly when it dissipated.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， xùn jié yì cháng de xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， xiāo róng diào de bīng shān chóng xīn huī fù qǐ lái le 。
林轩右手抬起，迅捷异常的向前点去，随着他的动作，消融掉的冰山重新恢复起来了。
Afterward, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and the ice mountain vanished without a trace, replaced by Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire, which he retracted into his sleeve.
yī biān bù tíng de róng huà ， yī biān bù tíng de huī fù ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， zhú jiàn dá dào yí gè píng héng le 。
一边不停的融化，一边不停的恢复，随着时间的推移，逐渐达到一个平衡了。
This slight delay changed the situation; both sides seemed to have determined the outcome, but no one had fallen. The figure suspected of being the Elder Ice had weakened significantly compared to before and suddenly disappeared...
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted again as he realized that the other party wasn't annihilated; perhaps they used some quick teleportation technique to save their lives. Before this thought could fully form, a faint disturbance in space appeared several hundred feet ahead.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zì jǐ de ān quán ， zì rán shì wú yú 。
林轩松了口气，如此一来，自己的安全，自然是无虞。
A bald old man in green robes stumbled into view. His face was pale with bloodstains on his lips, clearly severely injured, but thedemonic aura still surged around him.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō qǐ lái fán fù ， qí shí jǐn jǐn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， nà guāng bō lái de xùn sù ， qù dé ， yì diǎn yě bù hán hù 。
整个过程说起来繁复，其实仅仅几息的功夫，那光bō来得迅速，去得，一点也不含糊。
Elder Ice!
dāng qí sàn qù yǐ hòu ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， bīng shān xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì huàn líng tiān huǒ ， lín xuān zì rán jiāng tā shōu huí yī xiù 。
当其散去以后，林轩袖袍一拂，冰山消失得无影无踪，取而代之的是幻灵天火，林轩自然将它收回衣袖。
If Lin Xuan had any doubts before, he could now be almost certain of the other party's identity. Although their appearances were different, the aura and manifestation shared some similarities to the ice demon elder.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， xíng shì yòu zì bù tóng ， shuāng fāng sì hū fēn chū le shèng fù ， rán ér què bìng méi yǒu rén yǔn luò ， bù guò nà yí sì xuán bīng lǎo zǔ de jiā huo ， qì xī yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， gèng shì ruò le bù zhī fán jǐ ， tū rán ， yòu xiāo shī bú jiàn ……” diǎn ……”
而这稍一耽搁，形势又自不同，双方似乎分出了胜负，然而却并没有人陨落，不过那疑似玄冰老祖的家伙，气息与刚刚相比，更是弱了不知凡几，突然，又消失不见……”典……”
A bitter smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he realized that they would meet under such circumstances!
"Bad!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's expression changed. However, before he could finish his sentence, two incredibly powerful spiritual pressures shot up into the sky, colliding with each other in a flash.
Silent and invisible, but soon a faint white hurricane rose from the collision, distorting the entire sky. In just a few breaths, a "sizzling" sound echoed through his ears as if a piece of cloth had been torn apart.

The loud noise continued non-stop, and the speed was so fast that it left him speechless. Wherever he passed, mountains and trees crumbled under his might as if they were made of paper, turning into dust effortlessly.
"Bad... things are getting bad."
