zài quán héng yī fān lì bì zhī hòu ， tā hái shì jué dìng xiū liàn rán hún** chōng jī píng jǐng ， bì jìng yǔ wēi xiǎn xiāng bǐ ， jìn jí dào zhōng qī ， hǎo chù gèng shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
在权衡一番利弊之后，他还是决定修炼燃hún**冲击瓶颈，毕竟与危险相比，晋级到中期，好处更是难以言喻。
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he decided to attempt breaking through his cultivation bottleneck with the Flame Soulimpact technique. After all, compared to the risks involved, the benefits of advancing to a mid-stage cultivator were almost beyond description.
ér shàng tiān bù fù yǒu xīn rén ， zhěng gè guò chéng ， yuǎn bǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào shùn lì 。
而上天不负有心人，整个过程，远比想象的还要顺利。
Indeed, the entire process was far smoother than expected. He was just about to succeed when he encountered Zhaohang and was interrupted, thus failing at the last moment, leaving him with an eternal regret.
tā chà yì diǎn jiù chéng gōng jìn jí 。
他差一点就成功晋级。
It was clear how much the Elder Immortal Xuanbing hated this notorious monster of the demon realm. He would have gladly torn out its soul and spirit to satisfy his hatred.
zhī suǒ yǐ shuō chà yì diǎn ， shì yuán běn jiù yào chéng gōng le ， piān piān zài zuì guān jiàn de shí kè ， què yù jiàn le zhù háng ， bìng bèi tā dǎ duàn ， cóng ér gōng kuī yī kuì ， yí hèn qiān gǔ 。
之所以说差一点，是原本就要成功了，偏偏在最关键的时刻，却遇见了铸杭，并被他打断，从而功亏一篑，遗恨千古。
However, despite his resolve, breaking through his cultivation stage had left him severely weakened, unable even to defeat Zhaohang's mere avatar. With only a century or so left in his lifespan, it was no longer worth considering.
kě xiǎng ér zhī ， xuán bīng lǎo zǔ ， duì yǎn qián hè hè yǒu míng de mó jiè xiōng shòu ， zēng hèn dào shén me dì bù 。
可想而知，玄冰老祖，对眼前赫赫有名的魔界凶兽，憎恨到什么地步。
From the perspective of ordinary humans, this might be considered a long life, but for a cultivator at his current stage, it was merely an instant. He knew that he would not survive the next trial of essence energy, and there was no way he could escape it.
hèn bù dé jiāng tā chōu hún liàn pò ， cái néng yī jiě zì jǐ xīn tóu zhī hèn de 。
恨不得将他抽hún炼魄，才能一解自己心头之恨的。
In short, even if he managed to escape now, in a hundred years, he would turn into nothing more than bones. Why bother living another few decades? He might as well fight this monster to the death.
rán ér huà shì zhè me shuō ， yīn wèi jìn jí bèi qiáng xíng dǎ pò ， tā bù jǐn méi néng chéng wéi dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hái yuán qì dà sǔn le xǔ duō ， yǐ zhì yú lián zhè chūn háng de qū qū yī jiè fēn shēn dōu dǎ bù guò 。
然而话是这么说，因为晋级被强行打破，他不仅没能成为渡劫中期的修仙者，还元气大损了许多，以至于连这椿杭的区区一介分身都打不过。
With the saying "Even if it costs me my life, I will dare to pull down the emperor," he could at least avenge his humiliation!
rú jīn tā shòu yuán yǐ suǒ dào bù duō ， bù guò bǎi nián ér yǐ 。
如今他寿元已所到不多，不过百年而已。
Thus, when Zhaohang questioned him, he remained extremely calm. This was an opportunity hard-won; there was no way he would be afraid and give up.
jiù fán rén lái kàn ， yǐ bù suàn duǎn ， rán ér jiù tā zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， bù guò shì dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān ， ér xià yī cì de yuán qì zhī jié ， tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zì jǐ wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù néng dù guò 。
就凡人来看，已不算短，然而就他这个境界的修仙者，不过是弹指一挥间，而下一次的元气之劫，他心中有数，自己无论如何，也不能渡过。
His cultivation path had been shattered by this monster, so he couldn't let it go easily. Provoking him would only bring about a heavy price.
huàn jù huà shuō ， jiù suàn xiàn zài chéng gōng táo chū le shēng tiān ， bǎi nián zhī hòu ， hái shì huì huà wèi yī duī kū gǔ ， duō huó zhè diǎn suì yuè ， yòu yǒu shén me yì yì ne ， bù rú yǔ yǎn qián de chūn jī pīn le 。
换句话说，就算现在成功逃出了生天，百年之后，还是会化为一堆枯骨，多活这点岁月，又有什么意义呢，不如与眼前的椿机拼了。
Elder Immortal Xuanbing's resolve was firm, ignoring Zhaohang's pleas. At that moment, the threats and inducements were useless; revenge was his sole obsession.
shě de yī shēn guǎ ， gǎn bǎ huáng dì lā xià mǎ ， zhì shǎo néng bào zhè yī jiàn zhī chóu a ！
舍得一身剐，敢把皇帝拉下马，至少能报这一箭之仇啊！
The sound of the incantation grew more urgent. The demonic aura around his body became so intense it seemed to be about to explode.
suǒ yǐ ， miàn duì dǎo jī de zhì wèn ， tā xiǎn de píng jìng yǐ jí ， zhè shì zì jǐ hǎo bù róng yì ， cái chǒu zhǔn de shí jī ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zěn me kě néng dǎn qiè fàng qì 。
所以，面对祷机的质问，他显得平静以极，这是自己好不容易，才瞅准的时机，于情于理，怎么可能胆怯放弃。
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Zhaohang finally panicked. Fear flashed in his eyes as he struggled wildly.
zì jǐ de xiū xiān zhī lù shēng shēng huǐ zài yǎn qián de xiōng shòu shǒu lǐ ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù néng ràng tā hǎo guò ， zhāo rě zì jǐ ， shì huì fù chū dài jià de 。
自己的修仙之路生生毁在眼前的凶兽手里，无论如何，也不能让他好过，招惹自己，是会付出代价的。
Roar!
xuán bīng lǎo zǔ zhī yì yǐ jué ， gēn běn bù lǐ dǎo háng de quàn shuō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， wēi bī lì yòu duì tā fēn háo yòng chǔ yě wú ， bào chóu yǐ shì cǐ lǎo guài wù xīn zhōng wéi yī de zhí niàn le 。
玄冰老祖之意已绝，根本不理祷杭的劝说，此时此刻，威逼利yòu对他分毫用处也无，报仇已是此老怪物心中唯一的执念了。
The deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. Claw after claw rained down on the ice wolf, each one tearing through space. Despite Xuanbing's formidable body, the attacks left him bleeding profusely.
tā kǒu zhōng de zhòu yǔ shēng yīn yuè fā de jìn jí bù zhī hé shí ， mí màn zài shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de yāo qì ， kuáng bào dào nán yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì 。
他口中的咒语声音越发的劲急不知何时，弥漫在身体周围的妖气，狂暴到难以附加的境地。
Zhaohang was far from satisfied. Black light flickered as his neck stretched like a snake, opening its blood-filled maw to bite the ice wolf's throat. It then struggled desperately to tear it apart.
yǎn jiàn quàn shuō sī háo yòng tú yě wú ， dǎo jī zhōng yú huāng le ， tā de yǎn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn lù chū jǐ fēn kǒng jù ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi de zhēng zhá bù yǐ 。
眼见劝说丝毫用途也无，祷机终于慌了，他的眼中，隐隐lù出几分恐惧，摇头摆尾的挣扎不已。
"Release me, you fool. Come with this old demon to the Netherworld."
hǒu ！
吼！
Such terrifying attacks could shatter heaven and earth effortlessly. Although Xuanbing was a powerful demon of late-stage cultivation, he was barely hanging on. His eyes glowed with intense malice as he laughed.
nà shēng yīn zhèn tiān dòng dì ， yǔ diǎn bān de zhǎo máng ， xiàng zhe bīng láng pāi qù ， měi yī zhǎo de wēi lì dōu néng jiāng kōng jiān sī pò ， xuán bīng lǎo zǔ de yāo tǐ suī qiáng hèng yǐ jí ， dàn miàn duì zhè yàng de gōng jī ， xiān xuè yě shì kuáng yǒng bù yǐ 。
那声音震天动地，雨点般的爪芒，向着冰狼拍去，每一爪的威力都能将空间撕破，玄冰老祖的妖体虽强横以极，但面对这样的攻击，鲜血也是狂涌不已。
The raging demonic aura finally transformed into a storm. This secret technique burned his life force and soul, surpassing even a simple self-explosion in power. Zhaohang's avatar was trapped by countless tentacles, leaving no room to dodge. This should be enough to ensure his death.
ér chūn jī hái bù mǎn zú ， zhǐ jiàn hēi máng shǎn shuò ， tā de bó zi yǒu rú mǎng shé ， tū rán yī xià zi lā cháng le xǔ duō ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， jiāng bīng láng de bó zi jǐn jǐn yǎo zhù ， rán hòu pīn le mìng de sī chě 。
而椿机还不满足，只见黑芒闪烁，他的脖子有如蟒蛇，突然一下子拉长了许多，张开血盆大口，将冰狼的脖子紧紧咬住，然后拼了命的撕扯。
Xuanbing had already fallen the moment he released the secret technique. His injuries were too severe; it was only his willpower that kept him alive until then. So when the secret technique was unleashed, he smiled and died, waiting for Zhaohang in the underworld.
“ jiāng nǐ fàng guò hēng bié zuò bái rì měi mèng le yǔ běn lǎo zǔ yì qǐ qù jiǔ yōu dì fǔ 。”
“将你放过哼别做白日美梦了与本老祖一起去九幽地府。”
Roar!
zhè yàng kě pà de gōng jī ， néng gòu qīng sōng zhèn suì tiān dì ， xuán bīng lǎo zǔ suī shì dù jié qī de dà néng yāo zú ， cǐ kè yě shì qì ruò yóu sī le ， rán ér tā yǎn zhōng yuàn dú de guāng máng què gèng jiā zhì rè ， bàn suí zhe níng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ zhōu wéi nà kuáng bào de yāo qì zhōng yú huà wèi le fēng bào 。
这样可怕的攻击，能够轻松震碎天地，玄冰老祖虽是渡劫期的大能妖族，此刻也是气若游丝了，然而他眼中怨毒的光芒却更加炙热，伴随着狞笑的声音传入耳朵周围那狂暴的妖气终于化为了风暴。
The deafening roar echoed through the air as Zhaohang's eyes glowed with madness. Dark demonic runes burst from his body, indicating he was about to use some powerful spell.
zhè shì tā rán shāo xìng mìng yǔ hún pò shì fàng de mì shù ， jiù wēi lì lái shuō shèn zhì bǐ dān chún de zì bào hái yào lüè shèng yī chóu ， ér chūn háng bèi wàn qiān chù shǒu chán zhù ， gēn běn duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zhè yī xià ， yīng gāi néng ràng tā gěi zì jǐ péi zàng de 。
这是他燃烧xìng命与hún魄释放的秘术，就威力来说甚至比单纯的自爆还要略胜一筹，而椿杭被万千触手缠住，根本躲无可躲，这一下，应该能让他给自己陪葬的。
But before he could do so, he was swallowed by the storm of demonic aura.
xuán bīng lǎo zǔ jī hū zài mì shù shì fàng de yī kè ， jiù yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， tā de shāng shí zài tài zhòng le ， néng gòu huó dào cǐ kè ， kě yǐ shuō ， quán kào yī gǔ yì zhì zhī chēng zhe 。
玄冰老祖几乎在秘术释放的一刻，就已经陨落，他的伤实在太重了，能够活到此刻，可以说，全靠一股意志支撑着。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was several thousand miles away. He fully utilized his concealment technique while extending his divine awareness as far as possible.
yú shì dāng mì shù fàng chū ， tā yě jiù hán xiào yǔn luò ， huáng quán lù shàng ， tā huì děng zhe gāi sǐ de táo jī 。
于是当秘术放出，他也就含笑陨落，黄泉路上，他会等着该死的梼机。
Suddenly, his expression changed, revealing extreme shock. Without hesitation, he slowed down and redirected his path towards the ground.
hǒu ！
吼！
A flash of light, and Lin Xuan fell like a comet, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. He then took a deep breath, and the greenish aura around him turned earthy yellow.
zhèn tiān de lì háo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chūn jī de yǎn zhōng yě lù chū fēng kuáng zhī sè， yí gè gè mó wén cóng tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn bó ， xiǎn rán cǐ mó zhǔn bèi shǐ yòng shén me xuán miào de fǎ shù 。
震天的厉嚎传入耳朵，椿机的眼中也lù出疯狂之sè，一个个魔纹从他身体表面喷薄，显然此魔准备使用什么玄妙的法术。
Although Lin Xuan's spirit root wasn't one of the five elements, due to various coincidences, his essence energy possessed all five elemental qualities, allowing him to switch between them at will.
dàn xià yī kè ， tā jiù bèi nà yāo qì huà wèi de fēng bào tūn mò 。
但下一刻，他就被那妖气化为的风暴吞没。
At this moment, he was as vulnerable as an earth cultivator. With a flick of his wrist, pale yellow light erupted from his hands, and he burrowed into the ground like a mole.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lín xuān yǐ zài shù qiān lǐ zhī wài 。
与此同时，林轩已在数千里之外。
This was a high-level earth concealment technique.
tā yī biān quán lì shī zhǎn dùn guāng zhī shù ， yī biān jiāng shén shí jǐn liàng yán zhǎn ér chū 。
他一边全力施展遁光之术，一边将神识尽量延展而出。
Lin Xuan performed it because he sensed the immense danger far away. He ignored Xuanbing's gaze but saw everything clearly.
tū rán tā shén sè yī dòng ， liǎn shàng lù chū hài rán yǐ jí de shén sè， èr huà bù shuō ， dùn guāng yī huǎn ， suí hòu fāng xiàng gǎi biàn ， jū rán pū xiàng le dì miàn 。
突然他神sè一动，脸上lù出骇然以极的神sè，二话不说，遁光一缓，随后方向改变，居然扑向了地面。
The scene inside was filled with determination to die rather than surrender.
yí gè guāng máng shǎn dòng ， lín xuān yǐ rú huì xīng yǔn luò ， hěn hěn de zá dào dì miàn shàng le ， suí hòu xī le kǒu qì ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de líng guāng ， biàn chéng le tǔ huáng sè。
一个光芒闪动，林轩已如彗星陨落，狠狠的砸到地面上了，随后吸了口气，身体表面的灵光，变成了土黄sè。
Thus, this attack was no trivial matter; Xuanbing either intended to self-destruct or use a life-burning secret technique.
lín xuān tí liàn chū lái de líng gēn ， suī rán bìng fēi wǔ shǔ xìng de ， rán ér zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què ràng tā de líng lì ， tóng shí jù yǒu wǔ xíng de xìng zhì ， kě yǐ suí xīn suǒ yù， zài jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ zhōng zhuǎn huàn liú lí 。
林轩提炼出来的灵根，虽然并非五属xìng的，然而种种机缘巧合，却让他的灵力，同时具有五行的xìng质，可以随心所yù，在金木水火土中转换琉璃。
In any case, it would be incredibly powerful, and Lin Xuan was determined not to face such a threat.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yī shēn líng qì ， yǔ tǔ shǔ xìng líng gēn de xiū shì wú yí ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， zhǐ jiàn dàn huáng sè de líng guāng pēn bó ， suí hòu tā rú tóng tǔ bō shǔ ， yī xià zi mò rù ní tǔ bú jiàn le 。
此时此刻，林轩一身灵气，与土属xìng灵根的修士无疑，双手一握，只见淡黄sè的灵光喷薄，随后他如同土拨鼠，一下子没入泥土不见了。
During their battle in the air, he had used his earth concealment technique. The devastating power of this attack would spread outwards in all directions.
tǔ dùn zhī shù ， ér qiě hái shì shí fēn gāo jí de nà zhǒng 。
土遁之术，而且还是十分高级的那种。
While the deeper underground faced some danger, it was relatively safer. Lin Xuan's extensive experience with magical battles made him realize that most cultivators might not have chosen such a decisive action.
lín xuān zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò ， zì rán shì yīn wèi gǎn shòu dào le yuǎn chù jué dà de wēi xiǎn 。
林轩之所以这么做，自然是因为感受到了远处绝大的危险。
Lin Xuan's earth concealment technique was incredibly subtle; even thick soil or hard rock could not impede him. In just a few breaths, he had reached the depths of ten thousand feet underground. However, his face showed no sign of relief.
xuán bīng lǎo zǔ de yǎn shén dǎo háng hū lüè diào le ， dàn lín xuān kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
玄冰老祖的眼神祷杭忽略掉了，但林轩看得清清楚楚。
As they say, seeing is believing. Only by witnessing it firsthand can one truly understand how terrifying late-stage cultivators are—capable of shattering heaven and earth with a single strike, let alone such an attack that sacrifices life for power.
nà lǐ miàn chōng mǎn le jué sǐ zhī sè。
那里面充满了决死之sè。
Any carelessness could lead to eternal destruction. Therefore, despite being several thousand miles away from the explosion's center, Lin Xuan still hesitated not to deploy his strongest defensive treasure.
suǒ yǐ ， yǎn qián zhè yī bō gōng jī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xuán bīng lǎo zǔ bú shì zì bào ， jiù shì shǐ yòng le shén me rán shāo shēng mìng de mì shù 。
所以，眼前这一bō攻击非同小可，玄冰老祖不是自爆，就是使用了什么燃烧生命的秘术。
With a flick of his sleeve, a faint greenish light shone as a small, flat object emerged from his sleeve—a writing brush-shaped treasure.
bù guǎn shì nǎ yī zhǒng ， wēi lì dōu jiāng dà dé lí pǔ ， zǒng zhī wú lùn rú hé ， lín xuān dōu shì jué bù yuàn yì miàn duì de 。
不管是哪一种，威力都将大得离谱，总之无论如何，林轩都是绝不愿意面对的。
At first glance, it seemed unremarkable. However, upon closer inspection, its ancient design and intricate floral patterns revealed its extraordinary nature.
ér gāng cái tā yǔ táo jī jiāo zhàn ， shì zài wàn zhàng gāo kōng ， zhè wēi lì hài rén de jué shā yī chū ， yú bō kěn dìng shì xiàng sì miàn yán zhǎn 。
而刚才他与梼机交战，是在万丈高空，这威力骇人的绝杀一出，余bō肯定是像四面延展。
A fresh ink scent wafted through the air.
dì dǐ shēn chù ， suī rán yě huì shòu bō jí ， dàn xiāng duì lái shuō ， miàn lín de wēi xiǎn yào xiǎo yī xiē 。
地底深处，虽然也会受bō及，但相对来说，面临的危险要小一些。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, activating the Treasure Core Technique within him. With a seemingly slow but actually rapid movement, he pointed his finger forward.
yě shì lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn fēng fù wú bǐ ， fǒu zé ， huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， duō bàn nán yǐ zuò chū zhè yàng guǒ jué de xuǎn zé 。
也是林轩斗法经验丰富无比，否则，换一名修仙者，多半难以做出这样果决的选择。
As he moved, the surface of the writing brush glowed with essence energy before spinning rapidly!
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, he decided to attempt breaking through his cultivation bottleneck with the Flame Soulimpact technique. After all, compared to the risks involved, the benefits of advancing to a mid-stage cultivator were almost beyond description.
Indeed, the entire process was far smoother than expected. He was just about to succeed when he encountered Zhaohang and was interrupted, thus failing at the last moment, leaving him with an eternal regret.
It was clear how much the Elder Immortal Xuanbing hated this notorious monster of the demon realm. He would have gladly torn out its soul and spirit to satisfy his hatred.
