huà yīn wèi luò , lín xuān háo bù dān gē , shǒu qǐ bǎo luò , yòu shǒu suǒ chí zhǎng gē , yǐ hěn hěn cháo zhe duì fāng huī luò 。
话音未落,林轩毫不耽搁,手起宝落,右手所持长戈,已狠狠朝着对方挥落。
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan wasted no time. With a swift motion of his hand, the long spear in his right hand descended with great force towards the opponent.
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò , liú lí de líng guāng zhōng , yòu shì yī dào liàng lì de yuè yá fú xiàn ér chū , kōng jiān bèi jī pò , yǐ lìng rén chēng mù jié shé de sù dù xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi shè ér qù le 。
仿佛布锦被撕破,琉璃的灵光中,又是一道亮丽的月牙浮现而出,空间被击破,已令人瞠目结舌的速度向着前方飞射而去了。
It was as if a silk cloth had been torn apart. Amidst the luminous light of the spirit, another crescent moon blade appeared, shattering space and flying forward at an astonishing speed.
lín xuān zhè yī cì , zhǐ shì suí shǒu yī jī , lǐ miàn yùn hán de fǎ lì , yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ , rán ér wù yīn wèi jìng jiè diào luò , yě bù zài shì nán chán de dù jié qī cún zài le , cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng xià , lín xuān shì zhàn jù jué duì yōu shì de 。
林轩这一次,只是随手一击,里面蕴含的法力,远没有办法与刚刚相比,然而杌因为境界掉落,也不再是难缠的渡劫期存在了,此消彼长下,林轩是占据绝对优势的。
This time, Lin Xuan merely made a casual strike, containing far less power than before. However, due to his lower realm, Wù was no longer a formidable opponent in the Tribulation Transcending stage. With this disparity, Lin Xuan held a clear advantage.
xuè yǐng dùn suī rán bù sú , rán ér miàn duì yùn hán yǒu gāo jiē kōng jiān fǎ zé de bǎo wù , zé bèi kè zhì dé sǐ sǐ de 。
血影遁虽然不俗,然而面对蕴含有高阶空间法则的宝物,则被克制得死死的。
Although Blood Shadow Evasion was not weak, it was suppressed by the treasure that contained higher-level spatial laws.
xuè yǐng zhōng , wù xiāo shī dé zōng jì quán wú , dàn jǐn jǐn guò le shùn xī de gōng fu , jiù zài shù shí zhàng wài , diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de xiǎn xíng chū lái , ér nà yuè yá xíng de guāng rèn lüè yī niǔ qū , jū rán tóng yàng xiāo shī bú jiàn , xià yī kè , chū xiàn zài le wù de shēn qián 。
血影中,杌消失得踪迹全无,但仅仅过了瞬息的功夫,就在数十丈外,跌跌撞撞的显形出来,而那月牙形的光刃略一扭曲,居然同样消失不见,下一刻,出现在了杌的身前。
Wù vanished completely from the blood shadow, but after an instant, he reappeared several dozen feet away, stumbling and staggering. The crescent-shaped light blade twisted slightly before vanishing again, only to appear in front of Wù once more.
jīng tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ , wù de liǎn shàng chōng mǎn le bù gān zhī sè 。
惊天动地的咆哮传入耳朵,杌的脸上充满了不甘之色。
A deafening roar echoed as Wù's face showed a look of不甘 (reluctance).
yī tuán hēi qì cóng qí méi xīn mí sàn ér chū , lǐ miàn yǒu yī cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de mí nǐ wù 。
一团黑气从其眉心弥散而出,里面有一寸许大小的迷你杌。
A black aura spread from his brow, revealing a miniature version of Wù about an inch long. Although it was just a clone, it still possessed a complete fragment soul.
suī rán zhǐ shì yī jù fēn shēn , dàn yī jiù yōng yǒu wán zhěng de fēn hún 。
虽然只是一具分身,但依旧拥有完整的分魂。
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let this go. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light emerged from his sleeve and transformed into a giant hand, reaching out fiercely towards the opponent.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì jiāng qí fàng guò , xiù páo yī fú , yī piàn guāng xiá cóng tā de yī xiù zhōng mí sàn ér chū , lüè yī shǎn shuò , huà wèi yī zhàng xǔ dà xiǎo de jù shǒu , xiàng zhe qián fāng hěn hěn zhuā luò 。
林轩自然不会将其放过,袖袍一拂,一片光霞从他的衣袖中弥散而出,略一闪烁,化为一丈许大小的巨手,向着前方狠狠抓落。
The demon soul tried to dodge but found that some broken spatial laws lingered in the area. He couldn’t use teleportation techniques here, and his escape speed was no match for Lin Xuan's light hand.
nà mó hún hái xiǎng yào duǒ , kě cǐ dì hái cún liú zhe yī xiē pò suì de kōng jiān fǎ zé , tā gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ shǐ yòng shùn yí zhī shù , zhì yú táo dùn de sù dù , yòu nǎ lǐ néng yǔ guāng shǒu xiàng tí bìng lùn ne ?
那魔魂还想要躲,可此地还存留着一些破碎的空间法则,他根本没有办法使用瞬移之术,至于逃遁的速度,又哪里能与光手相提并论呢?
In an instant, he was caught.
jié guǒ bèi yī bǎ lāo zài le shǒu lǐ 。
结果被一把捞在了手里。
Lin Xuan’s face showed a satisfied smile: "So, you wanted to draw my soul out? What do you have to say now?"
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū zhì dé yì mǎn zhī sè :“ rú hé , gé xià bú shì xiǎng yào jiāng lín mǒu chōu hún liàn pò , xiàn zài yòu zěn me shuō ?”
林轩脸上露出志得意满之色:“如何,阁下不是想要将林某抽魂炼魄,现在又怎么说?”
"Humph! There's nothing to be proud of."
“ hēng , yǒu shén me hǎo dé yì de 。”
“哼,有什么好得意的。”
Despite being captured, the demon soul didn’t show any fear. "I am severely injured, and you just got lucky."
jǐn guǎn yǐ jīng luò rù le duì fāng de shǒu lǐ , nà mó hún yī jiù méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū fēn háo wèi jù :“ běn zūn shēn shòu zhòng shāng , nǐ xiǎo zi bù guò shì jiǎn le gè pián yi 。”
尽管已经落入了对方的手里,那魔魂依旧没有表现出分毫畏惧:“本尊身受重伤,你小子不过是捡了个便宜。”
"Then what?"
“ nà yòu rú hé ?”
“那又如何?”
Lin Xuan was taken aback; he hadn't expected such a firm stance from his opponent at this critical moment.
lín xuān yī è , méi xiǎng dào shì dào lín tóu , duì fāng huán zuǐ yìng dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
林轩一愕,没想到事到临头,对方还嘴硬到如此地步。
"How can I? It’s merely luck. When my true form descends to the Spirit Realm next time, I will repay your hatred tenfold."
“ rú hé , nà bù guò shì yùn qì , xià yī cì běn zūn běn tǐ jiàng lín líng jiè , yí dìng huì jiāng jīn rì de chóu hèn , bǎi bèi fèng huán gěi nǐ 。”
“如何,那不过是运气,下一次本尊本体降临灵界,一定会将今日的仇恨,百倍奉还给你。”
The demon soul spoke with great intensity before exploding in a burst of magical light.
mó hún shēng sè jù lì , suí hòu hún shēn mó guāng dà qǐ , pēng de yī shēng bào liè diào le 。
魔魂声色俱厉,随后浑身魔光大起,嘭的一声爆裂掉了。
It was just a soul fragment, and the explosion wasn’t particularly powerful. Lin Xuan suffered no injuries but his expression turned grim.
bù guò shì yī hún pò , bào zhà de wēi lì bù suàn shén me , lín xuān fēn háo shāng shì yě wú , rán ér liǎn shàng què mǎn shì yīn mái zhī sè 。
不过是一魂魄,爆炸的威力不算什么,林轩分毫伤势也无,然而脸上却满是阴霾之色。
Could Wù’s true form descend to the Spirit Realm?
wù de běn tǐ jiàng lín líng jiè ?
杌的本体降临灵界?
Impossible!
zěn me kě néng ?
怎么可能?
He was a True Spirit existence; his true form appearing here would surely cause great disputes. Could there be some hidden secret?
tā kě shì zhēn líng jí bié de cún zài , běn tǐ lái dào líng jiè zhī zhōng , fēi yǐn qǐ jí dà de jiū fēn bù kě , nán dào zhè zhōng jiān yǒu shén me yǐn mì me ?
他可是真灵级别的存在,本体来到灵界之中,非引起极大的纠纷不可,难道这中间有什么隐秘么?
Lin Xuan didn't believe he was just bluffing, but the demon soul had already self-destructed. If he had searched its mind, perhaps he could have found some clues.
lín xuān kě bù rèn wéi tā shì suí kǒu wēi xié zì jǐ , kě xī mó hún yǐ jīng zì bào diào le , fǒu zé , tōng guò sōu hún zhī shù , huò xǔ néng huò dé yì diǎn xiàn suǒ 。
林轩可不认为他是随口威胁自己,可惜魔魂已经自爆掉了,否则,通过搜魂之术,或许能获得一点线索。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan raised his head and scanned ahead.
lín xuān wǎn xī de xiǎng zhe , suí hòu tái qǐ tóu lú , mù guāng xiàng qián miàn sǎo guò 。
林轩惋惜的想着,随后抬起头颅,目光像前面扫过。
Wù’s body lay suspended in mid-air, still intact.
wù yǐ jīng yǔn luò , rán ér tā de shī tǐ yī jiù xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng 。
杌已经陨落,然而他的尸体依旧悬浮在半空之中。
Lin Xuan's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
lín xuān de yǎn shén dùn shí huǒ rè 。
林轩的眼神顿时火热。
Although this wasn’t Wù’s true form, the value was beyond measure. Despite his lower realm now, it was due to severe injuries. The value of its skin and bones remained that of a Tribulation Transcending stage.
suī rán zhè bìng fēi wù de běn tǐ , dàn jià zhí zhī dà yě shì nán yǐ yán yù , bié kàn tā zuì hòu jìng jiè diào luò , dàn nà shì yīn wèi shāng shì tài zhòng de yuán gù , pí máo gǔ gé de jià zhí , yī jiù shì dù jié qī de 。
虽然这并非杌的本体,但价值之大也是难以言喻,别看他最后境界掉落,但那是因为伤势太重的缘故,皮毛骨骼的价值,依旧是渡劫期的。
Moreover, although Wù came from the Demon Realm, he was indeed a True Spirit. From this clone, Lin Xuan could likely extract extremely pure True Spirit blood.
ér qiě wù suī shì mó jiè zhī wù , dàn què shì huò zhēn jià shí de zhēn líng bù jiǎ , cóng zhè jù fēn shēn zhī shàng , yīng gāi néng gòu tí chún chū jí wéi jīng chún de zhēn líng zhī xuè 。
而且杌虽是魔界之物,但却是货真价实的真灵不假,从这具分身之上,应该能够提纯出极为精纯的真灵之血。
This would be immensely beneficial for him.
ér zhè duì zì jǐ lái shuō , jiāng shì yī dà zhù yì 。
而这对自己来说,将是一大助益。
Misfortune can turn into fortune; facing Wù posed extreme danger but also great rewards.
huò xī fú suǒ yǐ , zhè yī cì miàn duì wù , suī rán wēi xiǎn yǐ jí , dàn shōu huò , yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě dì 。
祸兮福所倚,这一次面对杌,虽然危险以极,但收获,也是非同小可地。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his sleeve, a streak of green light flew out and enveloped the corpse, which was then stored in his storage bag.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe , zì rán bú huì kè qì , xiù páo yī fú , yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū , jiāng wù de shī shēn juǎn guò , quán bù shōu rù chǔ wù dài lǐ le 。
林轩如此这般的想着,自然不会客气,袖袍一拂,一道青霞飞掠而出,将杌的尸身卷过,全部收入储物袋里了。
However, he didn't leave immediately. Closing his eyes, he released his immensely powerful divine sense. Although he had just survived a life-and-death battle, Lin Xuan wouldn’t forget why he came here.
suí hòu lín xuān què méi yǒu lì kè lí kāi cǐ chù , ér shì bì shàng shuāng móu , jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū , suī rán jīng lì le yī cì shēng sǐ zhī dòu , dàn lín xuān kě bù huì yīn cǐ , jiù wàng jì zì jǐ lái zhè lǐ de mù dì shì shén me 。
随后林轩却没有立刻离开此处,而是闭上双眸,将强大以极的神识放出,虽然经历了一次生死之斗,但林轩可不会因此,就忘记自己来这里的目的是什么。
Wù’s body had fallen, but where was the storage bag of the True Ice Ancestor?
wù yǐ jīng yǔn luò , xuán bīng lǎo zǔ yě hún fēi pò sàn diào le , rán hòu hòu zhě de chǔ wù dài zài hé chù 。
杌已经陨落,玄冰老祖也魂飞魄散掉了,然后后者的储物袋在何处。
Although the explosion's power was immense and unprecedented for Lin Xuan, the storage bags of Tribulation Transcending stage experts were undoubtedly valuable. It was unlikely that they would be destroyed.
suī rán gāng cái bào zhà de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě , shèn zhì dá dào le lín xuān cóng suǒ wèi yù de dì bù , bù guò dù jié qī lǎo guài yōng yǒu de chǔ wù dài kěn dìng bù sú , àn lǐ shuō , yīng gāi bú huì jiù cǐ huǐ qù de 。
虽然刚才爆炸的威力非同小可,甚至达到了林轩从所未遇的地步,不过渡劫期老怪拥有的储物袋肯定不俗,按理说,应该不会就此毁去的。
Lin Xuan thought thus, fully releasing his divine sense to search inch by inch, not missing any minor clues. With several thousand miles still unsealed, the search wasn’t swift. However, a storage bag worth countless treasures was within reach; Lin Xuan wouldn't give up.
lín xuān xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , jiāng shén shí quán lì fàng chū , zài fù jìn yī cùn yī cùn de sōu suǒ , rèn hé xì wēi de xiàn suǒ dōu bù fàng guò , yīn wèi fāng yuán shù qiān lǐ , hái yǒu bù shǎo kōng jiān liè fèng méi yǒu mí hé , gù ér sōu suǒ qǐ lái , bìng bù xùn sù , bù guò dù jié qī cún zài de chǔ wù dài , yòng jià zhí lián chéng lái xíng róng yě bù wèi guò , wú lùn rú hé , lín xuān dōu shì bú huì fàng qì de 。
林轩心中如此想着,将神识全力放出,在附近一寸一寸的搜索,任何细微的线索都不放过,因为方圆数千里,还有不少空间裂缝没有弥合,故而搜索起来,并不迅速,不过渡劫期存在的储物袋,用价值连城来形容也不为过,无论如何,林轩都是不会放弃的。
Half an hour passed without success.
bàn gè shí chén yī huǎng ér guò 。
半个时辰一晃而过。
Lin Xuan sighed. Had he miscalculated? Was the storage bag destroyed in that massive explosion?
lín xuān yī wú suǒ huò 。
林轩一无所获。
These thoughts brought a gloomy expression to his face. But giving up now wasn’t an option. Taking a deep breath, he infused all his energy into his eyes.
tā tàn le qì kǒu , nán dào zì jǐ yù liào cuò wù , nà chǔ wù dài zài gāng cái de dà bào zhà zhōng yǐ jīng huǐ miè le ?
他叹了气口,难道自己预料错误,那储物袋在刚才的大爆炸中已经毁灭了?
With no effect from his divine sense, he could only hope for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to reveal something.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yīn mái zhī sè , dàn jiù zhè yàng fàng qì , tā què bìng bù yuàn yì , lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī , jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì wǎng shuāng mù zhù rù jìn qù 。
想到这里,林轩脸上闪过一丝阴霾之色,但就这样放弃,他却并不愿意,林轩深深呼吸,将浑身的法力往双目注入进去。
...
shén shí méi yǒu xiào guǒ rú jīn yě jiù zhǐ yǒu jì xī wàng yú tiān fēng shén mù , kàn néng fǒu yǒu shén me fā xiàn le 。
神识没有效果如今也就只有寄希望于天风神目,看能否有什么发现了。
A moment later, another quarter hour passed.
……
……
Lin Xuan suddenly moved.
hěn kuài , yòu guò le yī kè zhōng 。
很快,又过了一刻钟。
His shoulders trembled as he transformed into a streak of light and flew forward. However, after flying several thousand feet, Lin Xuan stopped.
lín xuān tū rán shén sè yī dòng 。
林轩突然神色一动。
A spatial rift appeared in his line of sight.
suí hòu jiān tóu wēi dǒu , huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng , xiàng qián fāng fēi qù le 。
随后肩头微抖,化为一道惊虹,像前方飞去了。
About a foot wide.
rán ér jǐn jǐn fēi chū shù qiān zhàng yuǎn , lín xuān jiù tíng le xià lái 。
然而仅仅飞出数千丈远,林轩就停了下来。
It was just a small crack, indistinguishable from ordinary ones at first glance. But through the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye, Lin Xuan seemed to detect something.
yī dào kōng jiān liè fèng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
一道空间裂缝出现在视线中。
Raising his right hand, Phantom Heaven Fire flickered into existence and enveloped his palm. Lin Xuan reached out towards the rift.
zhǎng dà yuē chǐ xǔ zuǒ yòu 。
长大约尺许左右。
Sizzle...
bù guò shì yī dào hěn wēi xiǎo de liè fèng , chū yī kàn , yǔ pǔ tōng de kōng jiān liè fèng , sì hū méi yǒu shén me bù tóng , rán ér tòu guò tiān fèng shén mù , lín xuān què sì hū fā xiàn le yì diǎn duān ní shén me 。
不过是一道很微小的裂缝,初一看,与普通的空间裂缝,似乎没有什么不同,然而透过天凤神目,林轩却似乎发现了一点端倪什么。
Electricity jumped out, but with his robust body and the protection of Phantom Heaven Fire, it had little effect on him.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ , huàn líng tiān huǒ zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn ér chū , suí hòu jiāng zhěng gè shǒu zhǎng bāo guǒ , lín xuān jū rán jiāng shǒu shēn xiàng le liè fèng 。
右手抬起,幻灵天火在掌心中浮现而出,随后将整个手掌包裹,林轩居然将手伸向了裂缝。
Lin Xuan curled his fingers slightly, pulling at the crack as if tearing a piece of cloth from the sky. With great effort, he tore open the spatial rift.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
As a Spirit Stage cultivator, Lin Xuan possessed this ability.
yī dào dào shǎn diàn dàn tiào ér chū , dàn yǐ lín xuān de ròu shēn qiáng hàn chéng dù , zài jiā shàng huàn líng tiān huǒ de fáng hù , duì tā de yǐng xiǎng , sì hū bìng bù dà 。
一道道闪电弹跳而出,但以林轩的肉身强悍程度,再加上幻灵天火的防护,对他的影响,似乎并不大。
He then extended his head forward, his eyes glowing more intensely.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān wǔ zhǐ wēi qū , lā zhù liè fèng , yī sī yī chě , jū rán yìng shēng shēng jiāng tiān kōng dàng zuò yī kuài bù yì bān , yìng shēng shēng sī chě kāi le 。
只见林轩五指微曲,拉住裂缝,一撕一扯,居然硬生生将天空当做一块布一般,硬生生撕扯开了。
"Sure enough, it’s inside."
lín xuān bì jìng yě shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě , zhè diǎn shén tōng hái shì yǒu de 。
林轩毕竟也是分神期修仙者,这点神通还是有的。
Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy.
suí hòu tā nǎo dài wēi wēi xiàng qián tàn chū , yǎn zhōng yín máng yuè fā de duó mù 。
随后他脑袋微微向前探出,眼中银芒越发的夺目。
It was either luck or fate that the True Ice Ancestor’s storage bag had flown into a spatial rift. This explained why his divine sense failed to detect anything earlier. If not for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye piercing through space and time, he might have missed this treasure.
“ guǒ rán zài lǐ miàn 。”
“果然在里面。”
Lin Xuan felt relieved.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū xīn xǐ de xiào róng 。
林轩脸上露出欣喜的笑容。
Removing the storage bag from the rift would be challenging for an early Spirit Stage cultivator but was trivial for Lin Xuan. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Inverted Sea Spear.
yě bù zhī dào shì qiǎo hé hái shì bié yǒu yuán gù , xuán bīng lǎo zǔ de chǔ wù dài jū rán fēi jìn yī kōng jiān liè fèng , lǐ le , nán guài gāng cái shén shí tàn cè dōu méi yǒu jié guǒ , rú guǒ bú shì tiān fèng shén mù lián kōng jiān zǔ gé dōu néng kàn pò , zì jǐ kǒng pà hái zhēn huì yǔ zhè bǎo wù cā jiān ér guò 。
也不知道是巧合还是别有缘故,玄冰老祖的储物袋居然飞进一空间裂缝,里了,难怪刚才神识探测都没有结果,如果不是天凤神目连空间阻隔都能看破,自己恐怕还真会与这宝物擦肩而过。
After several breaths, something appeared in his hand. However, it wasn’t a storage bag.
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Xuan wasted no time. With a swift motion of his hand, the long spear in his right hand descended with great force towards the opponent.
Sizzle...
It was as if a silk cloth had been torn apart. Amidst the luminous light of the spirit, another crescent moon blade appeared, shattering space and flying forward at an astonishing speed.
This time, Lin Xuan merely made a casual strike, containing far less power than before. However, due to his lower realm, Wù was no longer a formidable opponent in the Tribulation Transcending stage. With this disparity, Lin Xuan held a clear advantage.
Although Blood Shadow Evasion was not weak, it was suppressed by the treasure that contained higher-level spatial laws.
Wù vanished completely from the blood shadow, but after an instant, he reappeared several dozen feet away, stumbling and staggering. The crescent-shaped light blade twisted slightly before vanishing again, only to appear in front of Wù once more.
"Aaaah!"
A deafening roar echoed as Wù's face showed a look of不甘 (reluctance).
A black aura spread from his brow, revealing a miniature version of Wù about an inch long. Although it was just a clone, it still possessed a complete fragment soul.
Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't let this go. With a wave of his sleeve, a beam of light emerged from his sleeve and transformed into a giant hand, reaching out fiercely towards the opponent.

Lin Xuan’s face showed a satisfied smile: "So, you wanted to draw my soul out? What do you have to say now?"
"Humph! There's nothing to be proud of."
Despite being captured, the demon soul didn’t show any fear. "I am severely injured, and you just got lucky."
"Then what?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback; he hadn't expected such a firm stance from his opponent at this critical moment.
"How can I? It’s merely luck. When my true form descends to the Spirit Realm next time, I will repay your hatred tenfold."
The demon soul spoke with great intensity before exploding in a burst of magical light.
It was just a soul fragment, and the explosion wasn’t particularly powerful. Lin Xuan suffered no injuries but his expression turned grim.
Could Wù’s true form descend to the Spirit Realm?
Impossible!
