jiǔ tiān zhī shàng ， gāng fēng gē miàn rú dāo ， lín xuān chēng mù dà hē 。
九天之上，罡风割面如刀，林轩瞠目大喝。
High above, the gale-force winds sliced through Lin Xuan's face like a sharp blade. He stared wide-eyed and shouted.
ér bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， táo wù dèng zhe tóng líng dà de shuāng mù ， chǒu lòu zhēng níng de miàn róng shàng yǐn yǐn lù chū yī sī hài rán 。
而百余丈远处，梼杌瞪着铜铃大的双目，丑陋狰狞的面容上隐隐露出一丝骇然。
A hundred yards away, Tiaomu's copper-bell eyes bulged as his ugly, snarling face showed a hint of shock.
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， jū rán méi yǒu bèi fǎ lì fǎn shì me ？
这小家伙，居然没有被法力反噬么？
This little guy... didn't he suffer any backlash from the spell?
tā zěn me zuò dào de ， bié shuō qū qū fēn shén zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì hòu qī cún zài ， yě jué bù kě néng cāo zòng zhè zhǒng guī mó de jù jiàn shù ！
他怎么做到的，别说区区分神中期的修仙者，就算是后期存在，也绝不可能操纵这种规模的巨剑术！
How did he do it? Forget about a late-stage cultivator, even an intermediate stage cultivator wouldn't be able to control such a massive sword technique!
yǎn qián zhè yí mù ， ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shuō yǔ tā tīng ， tā dōu jué bú huì xiāng xìn 。
眼前这一幕，若非亲眼目睹，不论谁说与他听，他都绝不会相信。
If anyone had told him this, he would have refused to believe it. But now, the truth was right in front of his eyes—denying it wouldn’t change anything. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of giant swords were slashing towards him.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shì shí bǎi zài yǎn qián ， fǒu rèn yě bú huì yǒu rèn hé gǎi biàn ， yī zhǎ yǎn ， nà shù yǐ bǎi jì de jù jiàn ， jiù fēn fēn pī cì dào le zì jǐ de shēn qián 。
然而此时此刻，事实摆在眼前，否认也不会有任何改变，一眨眼，那数以百计的巨剑，就纷纷劈刺到了自己的身前。
Such an attack would make even a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage think twice and retreat for safety. But Tiaomu was exactly opposite.
zhè yàng de gōng jī ， ruò shì huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ pà tóng yàng shì dù jié qī jí bié de ， kǒng pà dū huì xuǎn zé zàn bì fēng máng yī tú 。
这样的攻击，若是换一名修仙者，哪怕同样是渡劫期级别的，恐怕都会选择暂避锋芒一图。
His temperament was known for its ferocity, and he hated Lin Xuan to the core. How could he choose to avoid it?
rán ér táo wù què qià qià xiāng fǎn 。
然而梼杌却恰恰相反。
Even if it was unexpected, what of it? After all, he was only a spirit at the Intermediate stage!
tā de pí qì běn lái jiù shì yǐ xiōng cán bào nüè zhù chēng dì ， ér qiě hèn lín xuān rù gǔ ， zěn me huì xuǎn zé táo bì ne ？
他的脾气本来就是以凶残暴虐著称地，而且恨林轩入骨，怎么会选择逃避呢？
Roar!
jiù suàn yǒu xiē chū rén yì liào yòu rú hé ？
就算有些出人意料又如何？
Tiaomu raised his head, opened his blood-red maw, and let out a terrifying roar that shook the air. The visible sound waves rippled through the space like ripples in a small lake...
guī gēn jié dǐ ， tā yě bù guò shì yī fēn shén qī bà le ！
归根结底，他也不过是一分神期罢了！
Havoc Wave Divine Technique!
hǒu ！
吼！
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Just this roar alone was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Intermediate stage cultivator.
táo wù yáng qǐ tóu ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， zuǐ bā zhōng fā chū dòng rén xīn pò de lì hǒu ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de shēng bō ， ràng yǎn qián de kōng qì ， fǎng fú biàn chéng le yī tán bèi wēi fēng chuī zhòu de xiǎo hú ， yī quān yī quān de bō wén dàng yàng ér chū ……
梼杌扬起头，张开血盆大口，嘴巴中发出动人心魄的厉吼，肉眼可见的声波，让眼前的空气，仿佛变成了一潭被微风吹皱的小湖，一圈一圈的波纹荡漾而出……
But this was just the prelude. Next, a ball of fire shot out from his mouth.
hàn bō mó gōng ！
撼波魔功！
Black as ink.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， guāng shì zhè yī hǒu zhī wēi jiù zú yǐ shùn shā pǔ tōng de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，光是这一吼之威就足以瞬杀普通的分神期修仙者。
The moment it appeared, the temperature around rose sharply. The nearby space seemed to fear this flame and melted away at a visible rate.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bù guò shì gōng jī de qián zòu 。
然而此时此刻，不过是攻击的前奏。
Wild Ferocious Flame!
jǐn jiē zhe ， cóng tā de kǒu zhōng ， yòu pēn chū le yī tuán huǒ 。
紧接着，从他的口中，又喷出了一团火。
Tiaomu, being one of the True Spirits with fiery attributes, could not match Phoenix Fire in power, but an ordinary Intermediate stage cultivator couldn't withstand his true fire either.
qī hēi rú mò 。
漆黑如墨。
And he wasn't done. He raised both front paws, and his nails suddenly became sharp and glossy, striking forward with a loud tearing sound.
gāng yī chū xiàn ， zhōu wéi de wēn dù ， jiù zhòu rán shēng gāo le xǔ duō ， fù jìn de kōng jiān ， fǎng fú dōu wèi jù zhè tuán huǒ yàn ， yǐ ròu yǎn kě jiàn de sù dù róng huà diào le 。
刚一出现，周围的温度，就骤然升高了许多，附近的空间，仿佛都畏惧这团火焰，以肉眼可见的速度融化掉了。
Sizzle...
huāng mán xiōng yàn ！
荒蛮凶焰！
This scene was eerily familiar—hundreds of years ago, the severely injured Tiaomu had used it too. But now, this full-strength avatar wielded it with even greater power.
táo wù yě shì huǒ shǔ xìng de zhēn líng zhī yī ， suǒ pēn chū lái de běn mìng zhēn huǒ suī rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ fèng huáng xiāng pì měi ， dàn yě bú shì qū qū yī fēn shén qī cún zài kě yǐ dǐ dǎng de 。
梼杌也是火属性的真灵之一，所喷出来的本命真火虽然没有办法与凤凰相媲美，但也不是区区一分神期存在可以抵挡的。
The nearby void was shattered into pieces. It looked like a piece of cloth torn by a cat, with one injury after another. The cracks were of various sizes and lengths, all chilling to the core.
ér tā hái bù mǎn zú ， liǎng zhǐ qián zhǎo tái qǐ ， zhǐ jiǎ zhòu rán biàn dé jiān lì ， shǎn shuò zhe yǒu hēi de guāng zé ， xiàng zhe qián fāng hěn hěn pāi qù 。
而他还不满足，两只前爪抬起，指甲骤然变得尖利，闪烁着黝黑的光泽，向着前方狠狠拍去。
It seemed as if a group of demons had opened their mouths, ready to swallow anything that dared approach this area without mercy.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Lin Xuan frowned, his heart filled with surprise, but he didn't pause in his attack. He spat out an egg-sized fireball.
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò ， zhè yí mù shì rú cǐ de yǎn shú ， bǎi nián qián ， nà zhòng shāng de táo wù yě yòng guò ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yóu zhè quán shèng shí qī de huà shēn shī zhǎn chū lái ， wēi lì kěn dìng shì yào gèng shèng shàng cì xǔ duō 。
仿佛布锦被撕破，这一幕是如此的眼熟，百年前，那重伤的梼杌也用过，然而此时此刻，由这全盛时期的化身施展出来，威力肯定是要更胜上次许多。
The five-colored crystal ball swirled and grew ten times its size, like a brilliant meteor streaking towards the savage ferocious flame.
zhè fù jìn de xū kōng suàn shì dào le dà méi ， qǐng kè jiān biàn dé zhī lí pò suì 。
这附近的虚空算是倒了大霉，顷刻间变得支离破碎。
Next, he clenched both hands and cast a spell at the True Spirit of Azure Dragon.
jiù fǎng fú yī kuài bèi māo sī chě wán shuǎ guò de pò bù ， shàng miàn de shāng hén nà shì yī dào jiē yī dào de 。
就仿佛一块被猫撕扯玩耍过的破布，上面的伤痕那是一道接一道的。
The inkstone glowed briefly before spinning rapidly. In moments, it expanded to several feet in diameter, concealing Lin Xuan's figure. More black mist emerged from its surface, spreading outwards. A scent of ink permeated the air.
dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de kǒu zi ， cháng duǎn gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn dōu shì lìng rén xīn jì de kōng jiān liè fèng 。
大大小小的口子，长短各不相同，但都是令人心悸的空间裂缝。
The mist swirled and formed countless symbols that turned into sharp swords, appearing before him.
jiù fǎng fú yī qún è mó zhāng kāi le tā men de zuǐ bā ， fán shì gǎn lái dào zhè fù jìn de rèn hé dōng xī ， dū huì bèi tā men wú qíng de tūn shì 。
就仿佛一群恶魔张开了他们的嘴巴，凡是敢来到这附近的任何东西，都会被他们无情的吞噬。
Attack is the best defense!
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， xīn zhōng àn zì chī jīng ， dàn gōng shì sī háo wèi tíng ， yī zhāng kǒu ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú tuō kǒu pēn chū 。
林轩眉头一皱，心中暗自吃惊，但攻势丝毫未停，一张口，一团鸡蛋大小的火球脱口喷出。
A shield made of swordlight was both offensive and defensive, with no doubt about its power.
wǔ sè liú lí ， zài qí zhōng xīn hái yǒu yī tuán hēi qì ， lí kǒu yǐ hòu lüè yī fān zhuǎn ， tǐ jī dùn shí biàn dà le shí bèi yǒu yú ， rú yī lǚ cuǐ càn de liú xīng ， háo wú wèi jù de xiàng nà mán huāng xiōng yàn jī 「 qǐ háng shuǐ yìn 」 shè ér qù 。
五色琉璃，在其中心还有一团黑气，离口以后略一翻转，体积顿时变大了十倍有余，如一缕璀璨的流星，毫无畏惧的像那蛮荒凶焰激「启航水印」射而去。
Soon, the Havoc Wave Divine Technique collided with it. Though sound waves were intangible, they couldn't penetrate the layers of swordlight. Lin Xuan exhaled in relief.
jiē zhe shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào fǎ jué xiàng zhe shēn qián de xuán wǔ zhēn líng yàn dǎ chū 。
接着双手一握，一道法诀向着身前的玄武真灵砚打出。
On the other side, the Illusory Heavenly Fire clashed against the Wild Ferocious Flame.
cǐ yàn tāi líng guāng yī shǎn ， suí hòu jí sù zhuǎn dòng qǐ lái 。
此砚台灵光一闪，随后急速转动起来。
The two different attributes of fire consumed each other, waxing and waning. But soon, Lin Xuan's Illusory Heavenly Fire gained the upper hand. This spirit flame, refined through countless trials, wouldn't be outshone even by a Tribulation Transcending true fire.
qǐng kè jiān zhí jìng jiù biàn dà dào le zhàng xǔ fāng yuán ， jiāng lín xuān de shēn xíng zhē yǎn ， ér zhè hái méi yǒu wán ， hēi méng méng de wù qì cóng shàng miàn pēn bó ， yǐ cǐ bǎo wèi zhōng xīn màn yán kāi ， jiē zhe yī gǔ bǐ mò zhī xiāng chōng chì chū lái 。
顷刻间直径就变大到了丈许方圆，将林轩的身形遮掩，而这还没有完，黑蒙蒙的雾气从上面喷勃，以此宝为中心蔓延开，接着一股笔墨之香充斥出来。
A smile played on Lin Xuan's lips, but it quickly vanished.
nà wù qì lüè yī fān yǒng ， suí hòu jiù lián chéng le yī piàn ， biǎo miàn hái yǒu wú shù quán tou dà xiǎo de fú wén fú xiàn ， suí hòu nà xiē fú wén yíng fēng yī shǎn ， jū rán huà wèi le lì jiàn ， mì mì má má de fú xiàn yú shēn qián 。
那雾气略一翻涌，随后就连成了一片，表面还有无数拳头大小的符文浮现，随后那些符文迎风一闪，居然化为了利剑，密密麻麻的浮现于身前。
His giant sword technique was the main attack, yet the shattered space triggered the laws of the universe. The powerful swords within were effortlessly obliterated into nothingness.
gōng jī shì zuì hǎo de fáng yù ！
攻击是最好的防御！
Is this the power of the laws?
yǐ jiàn máng níng jié ér chéng de dùn pái gèng shì gōng fáng yī tǐ ， wēi lì bù róng zhì yí 。
以剑芒凝结而成的盾牌更是攻防一体，威力不容置疑。
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of shock as blood surged in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
hěn kuài ， nà hàn bō mó gōng zhuàng le shàng qù ， yīn bō suī shì yǒu zhì wú xíng de dōng xī ， yī jiù bù néng tū pò zhè céng céng jiàn máng suǒ bù xià de fáng yù ， lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
很快，那撼波魔功撞了上去，音波虽是有质无形的东西，依旧不能突破这层层剑芒所布下的防御，林轩松了口气。
"Little guy, how does it taste? Do you think I'm still that injured avatar from last time?"
lìng yī biān ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yǔ huāng mán xiōng yàn yě zhèng miàn duì zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。
另一边，幻灵天火与荒蛮凶焰也正面对撞在了一起。
Tiaomu's laughter echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. His tone was filled with brutality, but there was also some doubt. This young man indeed had extraordinary abilities. If any other cultivator were here, the spatial laws would have torn not only the swordlight but their own true treasure.
liǎng zhǒng bù tóng shǔ xìng de huǒ yàn ， hù xiāng tūn shì ， cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng ， dàn hěn kuài ， lín xuān de huàn líng tiān huǒ jiù zhàn jù le shàng fēng ， cǐ líng yàn jīng guò qiān chuí bǎi liàn ， jiù suàn shì miàn duì dù jié jí bié de běn mìng líng huǒ ， yě bú huì yǒu fēn háo xùn sè 。
两种不同属性的火焰，互相吞噬，此消彼长，但很快，林轩的幻灵天火就占据了上风，此灵焰经过千锤百炼，就算是面对渡劫级别的本命灵火，也不会有分毫逊色。
But his mysterious divine sword merely lost some of its spirit. What kind of treasure could be so resilient as to withstand the laws of heaven and earth?
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， dàn hěn kuài ， zhè fèn qīng sōng jiù xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng 。
林轩的嘴角边，露出一丝笑容，但很快，这份轻松就消失得无影无踪。
Tiaomu didn't show it on the surface, but he was secretly shocked.
tā de jù jiàn shù cái shì zhǔ gōng ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， pò suì de kōng jiān ， què qiān dòng le tiān dì fǎ zé ， wēi lì jīng rén de jù jiàn shēn chù qí zhōng ， jìng rán bèi qīng sōng de mǐn miè wèi le xū wú 。
他的巨剑术才是主攻，然而此时此刻，破碎的空间，却牵动了天地法则，威力惊人的巨剑深处其中，竟然被轻松的泯灭为了虚无。
After the laughter, Tiaomu raised his head and opened his blood-red maw. The air seemed to be sucked in like a whale drinking water.
zhè jiù shì fǎ zé de lì liàng me ？
这就是法则的力量么？
"Bad move!"
lín xuān yǎn zhōng lù chū jǐ fēn hài rán zhī sè ， xiōng kǒu xuè qì fān yǒng ， yī kǒu xiān xuè yóu zuǐ zhōng pēn bó 。
林轩眼中露出几分骇然之色，胸口血气翻涌，一口鲜血由嘴中喷薄。
Lin Xuan's hair stood on end as he instinctively felt immense danger.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， zī wèi ér rú hé ， nǐ yǐ wéi běn zūn ， hái shì shàng cì nà ge shēn shòu zhòng shāng de huà shēn me ？”
“小家伙，滋味儿如何，你以为本尊，还是上次那个身受重伤的化身么？”
Before Lin Xuan could react, a black light wave shot out from Tiaomu's mouth. Its speed was indescribable; it arrived before he could dodge. Lin Xuan poured all his power into the True Spirit of Azure Dragon inkstone.
táo wù kuáng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ qì chōng mǎn le yī gǔ bào nüè zhī yì ， rán ér xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn dí gū ， zhè lín xiǎo zi guǒ rán yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， rú guǒ huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， gāng cái bèi kōng jiān fǎ zé sī chě chéng suì piàn de jiù bù jǐn jǐn shì jiàn máng ， ér shì duì fāng běn mìng fǎ bǎo de běn tǐ 。
梼杌狂笑的声音传入耳朵，语气充满了一股暴虐之意，然而心中也有点嘀咕，这林小子果然有不凡之处，如果换一名修仙者，刚才被空间法则撕扯成碎片的就不仅仅是剑芒，而是对方本命法宝的本体。
Boom!
kě duì fāng nà xuán miào de xiān jiàn ， jǐn jǐn shì sǔn shī le yī xiē líng xìng ér yǐ ， zhè jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ， jū rán jiān yìng dào kě yǐ duì kàng tiān dì fǎ zé ？
可对方那玄妙的仙剑，仅仅是损失了一些灵性而已，这究竟是什么宝物，居然坚硬到可以对抗天地法则？
The first layer of swordlight was easily torn apart. The surrounding mist dissipated, and the terrifying light wave struck the inkstone itself.
táo wù biǎo miàn shàng méi yǒu biǎo xiàn chū lái shén me ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， yě shì yǒu yī xiē hài rán de 。
梼杌表面上没有表现出来什么，然而内心深处，也是有一些骇然的。
A dull thud echoed in Lin Xuan's ears as this treasure from Snowflake Saint failed to block such a powerful attack. Soon, his defenses were breached, and he was engulfed by the light wave.
kuáng xiào zhī hòu ， táo wù yáng qǐ le tóu ， zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， màn tiān de yuán qì ， fǎng fú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， bèi tā tūn rù le dǔ zi lǐ miàn 。
狂笑之后，梼杌扬起了头，张开血盆大口，漫天的元气，仿佛长鲸吸水一般，被他吞入了肚子里面。
Tiaomu's eyes glowed with excitement.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
This hateful creature... will it finally scatter its soul?
lín xuān hán máo dào shù ， běn néng ràng tā gǎn jué dào le jí dà de wēi xiǎn 。
林轩寒毛倒竖，本能让他感觉到了极大的危险。
The entire process lasted only a dozen breaths. After the sky cleared, Lin Xuan's original position was empty.
rán ér hái bù děng lín xuān yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， cóng táo wù de zuǐ bā zhōng ， jiù pēn chū le yī dào hēi sè de guāng bō 。
然而还不等林轩有所动作，从梼杌的嘴巴中，就喷出了一道黑色的光波。
But sniffing the air, his expression changed as an unpleasant voice rang out: "Not bad, not bad. You're indeed my archenemy. This strike didn't kill you, but Lin boy, don't hide anymore. Do you think you have a chance to ambush me?"
nà sù dù wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù ， jī hū shì yī shùn jiān ， jiù lái dào le miàn qián ， lín xuān gēn běn lái bù jí duǒ ， zhǐ néng jiāng hún shēn de fǎ lì quán bù zhù rù xuán wǔ zhēn líng yàn zhōng 。
那速度无法用言语描述，几乎是一瞬间，就来到了面前，林轩根本来不及躲，只能将浑身的法力全部注入玄武真灵砚中。
Before Tiaomu's words were finished, sighs filled the air. A flash of light revealed Lin Xuan's figure a hundred yards away.
"Break!"
High above, the gale-force winds sliced through Lin Xuan's face like a sharp blade. He stared wide-eyed and shouted.
A hundred yards away, Tiaomu's copper-bell eyes bulged as his ugly, snarling face showed a hint of shock.

Tiaomu raised his head, opened his blood-red maw, and let out a terrifying roar that shook the air. The visible sound waves rippled through the space like ripples in a small lake...
Havoc Wave Divine Technique!
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Just this roar alone was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Intermediate stage cultivator.
But this was just the prelude. Next, a ball of fire shot out from his mouth.
Black as ink.
The moment it appeared, the temperature around rose sharply. The nearby space seemed to fear this flame and melted away at a visible rate.
Wild Ferocious Flame!
Tiaomu, being one of the True Spirits with fiery attributes, could not match Phoenix Fire in power, but an ordinary Intermediate stage cultivator couldn't withstand his true fire either.
And he wasn't done. He raised both front paws, and his nails suddenly became sharp and glossy, striking forward with a loud tearing sound.

His giant sword technique was the main attack, yet the shattered space triggered the laws of the universe. The powerful swords within were effortlessly obliterated into nothingness.
Is this the power of the laws?
Lin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of shock as blood surged in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Little guy, how does it taste? Do you think I'm still that injured avatar from last time?"
Tiaomu's laughter echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. His tone was filled with brutality, but there was also some doubt. This young man indeed had extraordinary abilities. If any other cultivator were here, the spatial laws would have torn not only the swordlight but their own true treasure.
