táo wù jīng nù jiāo jí ， qiáng liè de fǎn chà gěi tā zào chéng de bù shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
梼杌惊怒交集，强烈的反差给它造成的不适难以言喻。
Talos was overwhelmed with shock and anger. The stark contrast caused by this situation was indescribable.
zěn me kě néng ！
怎么可能！
How could it be possible!
duì fāng zěn me kě néng yōng yǒu tài xū líng rǔ ， zhè dōng xī ， jiù suàn duì dù jié qī dà néng lái shuō ， yě shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù 。
对方怎么可能拥有太虚灵乳，这东西，就算对渡劫期大能来说，也是可遇而不可求之物。
How could the opponent possess Void Essence Milk, a substance that even great cultivators of the Transcendation Stage find hard to come by?
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shuō yǔ tā tīng ， tā dōu bú huì xiāng xìn 。
若不是亲眼目睹，不论谁说与他听，他都不会相信。
Unless he witnessed it himself, no one would believe him if they told him such a thing.
chú le yí huò hái shì yí huò ， ér lín xuān zài tā de xīn zhōng ， bù yóu de yòu duō tiān jiā shàng jǐ fēn shén mì le 。
除了疑惑还是疑惑，而林轩在他的心中，不由得又多添加上几分神秘了。
Doubt after doubt filled his mind as Lin Xuan's mystique deepened in his heart.
bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ！
不能用常理揣摩！
One could not fathom this with common sense!
yuán běn yǐ wéi mào zhe jù dà de wēi xiǎn ， zì jǐ zài jiàng lín yī jù huà shēn lái líng jiè duì fù lín xuān ， yǐ dù jié zhàn fēn shén ， hái bù shǒu dào qín lái ， nǎ xiǎo de ， jū rán shì zhè yàng de yī bō sān zhé de jú miàn 。
原本以为冒着巨大的危险，自己再降临一具化身来灵界对付林轩，以渡劫战分神，还不手到擒来，哪晓得，居然是这样的一波三折的局面。
He had originally thought that by risking so much, sending another avatar to the Spirit Realm to deal with Lin Xuan would be easy, but now it was a complicated situation.
zhè xiǎo zi shǒu duàn zhī duō ， bǎo wù zhī xuán miào fán fù ， zài dù jié qī dà néng zhōng yě shì shǎo jiàn de ， fǎ lì yě bǐ tóng jiē jīng chún hún hòu dé duō ， yào bú shì jìng jiè tài dī ， zì jǐ qū qū yī jù huà shēn kǒng pà zǎo jiù sǐ wú zàng shēn zhī dì 。
这小子手段之多，宝物之玄妙繁复，在渡劫期大能中也是少见的，法力也比同阶精纯浑厚得多，要不是境界太低，自己区区一具化身恐怕早就死无葬身之地。
This young man’s techniques and treasures were numerous and intricate, rare even among Transcendation Stage cultivators. His essence energy was purer and more substantial than his peers. If not for his low realm, this avatar of his might have already perished.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， táo wù de liǎn shàng liú lù chū jǐ fēn bào nù zhī sè 。
想到这里，梼杌的脸上流露出几分暴怒之色。
With that thought, a look of fierce anger appeared on Talos's face, mixed with a hint of fear.
yǐn yǐn hái dài zhe jǐ fēn huáng kǒng 。
隐隐还带着几分惶恐。
This fear came from deep within him.
nà kǒng jù lái zì yú nèi xīn shēn chù 。
那恐惧来自于内心深处。
No matter what, he could not let the young man live. Otherwise, if the young man one dayluckiness;侥幸 can also be translated as "侥幸心理" meaning "侥幸 psychology" or "relying on luck")advanced to the Transcendation Stage, even his own body arriving here would no longer be his match.
wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù néng ràng tā huó zhe ， fǒu zé zhè xiǎo zi ruò shì yǒu zhāo yī rì ， jiǎo xìng jìn jiē chéng le dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， dào nà shí hòu ， kǒng pà biàn shì zì jǐ de běn tǐ jià lín cǐ chù ， yě bù zài shì tā de duì shǒu le 。
无论如何，也不能让他活着，否则这小子若是有朝一日，侥幸进阶成了渡劫期的大能修仙者，到那时候，恐怕便是自己的本体驾临此处，也不再是他的对手了。
Such a situation was something he absolutely did not allow to happen.
ér zhè yàng de qíng kuàng ， shì tā wú lùn rú hé ， yě jué bù yǔn xǔ chū xiàn de 。
而这样的情况，是他无论如何，也绝不允许出现的。
Danger had to be eliminated at its root; there was no time for him to hesitate any further.
wēi xiǎn yào è shā zài méng yá lǐ ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě jué bù néng zài ràng zhè xiǎo zi chéng zhǎng xià qù 。
危险要扼杀在萌芽里，无论如何，也绝不能再让这小子成长下去。
Talos's eyes glinted with ferocity. However, Lin Xuan acted first.
táo wù de yǎn zhōng xiōng máng sì shè ， lín xuān què qiǎng xiān yī bù dòng shǒu le 。
梼杌的眼中凶芒四射，林轩却抢先一步动手了。
With the same brief incantation, his hands drew strange trajectories in mid-air before pointing towards the precious object in front of him.
tóng yàng duǎn cù de zhòu yǔ ， shuāng shǒu zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò qí yì de guǐ jì ， suí hòu yī zhǐ xiàng zhe shēn qián de bǎo wù diǎn qù 。
同样短促的咒语，双手在虚空中划过奇异的轨迹，随后一指向着身前的宝物点去。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
As Lin Xuan moved, the light from the Spirit Decree Cauldron radiated out. A mysterious rune emerged from within, roughly the size of a head, light and ethereal as if it had no weight. It flickered slightly and floated towards Talos.
suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò ， nà líng jué dǐng guāng yùn pēn bó， suí hòu yī xuán miào de fú wén yóu lǐ miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， yuē yǒu tóu lú dà xiǎo ， qīng piāo piāo de ， fǎng fú háo wú zhuó lì zhī chù ， suí hòu lüè yī shǎn dòng ， xiàng táo wù piāo guò qù le 。
随着林轩的动作，那灵诀鼎光晕喷bó，随后一玄妙的符文由里面浮现而出，约有头颅大小，轻飘飘的，仿佛毫无着力之处，随后略一闪动，像梼杌飘过去了。
At first glance, its speed seemed slow, but just this flicker brought it to Talos’s eyes in an instant.
zǎ yī kàn ， tā de sù dù sì hū bù kuài ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī shǎn dòng ， jiù lái dào le táo wù de yǎn qián 。
咋一看，它的速度似乎不快，但仅仅是略一闪动，就来到了梼杌的眼前。
So strange that even the experienced Talos was taken aback. There was no time for him to think; a fierce expression flashed across his eyes as he opened his mouth wide, releasing a stench and a thick black aura like ink, which swept towards the peculiar rune.
rú cǐ guǐ yì ， lián jiàn duō shí guǎng de táo wù yě dà jīng shī sè ， rán ér méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā sī suǒ ， tā de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xiōng lì zhī sè ， dà kǒu yī zhāng ， xīng chòu sì yì ， yī dào nóng rú mò zhī de hēi qì ， xiàng nà gǔ guài guǐ yì de fú wén xí juǎn ér qù 。
如此诡异，连见多识广的梼杌也大惊失色，然而没有时间给它思索，它的眼中闪过一丝凶厉之色，大口一张，腥臭四溢，一道浓如墨汁的黑气，像那古怪诡异的符文席卷而去。
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan’s face showed no emotion except a faint glint in his eyes.
lín xuān jiàn le cǐ mù ， liǎn shàng fēn háo biǎo qíng yě wú ， wéi yǒu yǎn móu shēn chù ， yǐn yǐn yǒu yī dào jīng máng shǎn guò 。
林轩见了此幕，脸上分毫表情也无，唯有眼眸深处，隐隐有一道精芒闪过。
"Finally, you've fallen for it."
“ zhōng yú shàng gōu le 。”
“终于上钩了。”
His hands suddenly moved rapidly, casting one after another of the Spirit Decree techniques at the strange rune. As he acted, the bizarre rune suddenly collapsed and disintegrated. The original runes vanished, replaced by four new but simpler ones.
tā de shuāng shǒu tū rán jí sù fēi wǔ ， yī dào yòu yī dào de fǎ jué xiàng nà líng jué dǐng dǎ chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà gǔ guài de fú wén tū rán bēng kuì wǎ jiě diào le ， yuán běn de fú wén xiāo shī ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì sì gè quán xīn dàn shāo jiǎn dān yī xiē de fú wén yìng rù yǎn lián 。
他的双手突然急速飞舞，一道又一道的法诀像那灵诀鼎打出，随着他的动作，那古怪的符文突然崩溃瓦解掉了，原本的符文消失，取而代之的是四个全新但稍简单一些的符文映入眼帘。
Absolutely freezing!
jué duì bīng fēng ！
绝对冰封！
Lin Xuan’s mouth emitted sounds that were incomprehensible to modern language. Even Talos could only partially understand it.
lín xuān de kǒu zhōng yǒu gǔ guài de yīn jié tǔ chū ， yǔ xiàn zài de yǔ yán wán quán bù tóng ， biàn shì táo wù ， yě tīng dé sì dǒng fēi dǒng 。
林轩的口中有古怪的音节吐出，与现在的语言完全不同，便是梼杌，也听得似懂非懂。
But this was no longer important. The four runes began to spin rapidly as terrifying coldness spread out.
dàn zhè yī qiè dōu bú zhòng yào le ， nà sì gè fú wén jí sù xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， kě pà de hán qì suí zhī mí sàn kāi 。
但这一切都不重要了，那四个符文急速旋转起来，与此同时，可怕的寒气随之弥散开。
Not only did the black mist Talos spat out freeze, but even the entire space froze!
bié shuō táo wù pēn chū de nà dào qī hēi de mó wù ， lián zhěng gè kōng jiān dōu zài yī shùn jiān bèi dòng jié diào le ！
别说梼杌喷出的那道漆黑的魔雾，连整个空间都在一瞬间被冻结掉了！
Talos’s eyes showed shock, but he had no time to escape.
táo wù de yǎn zhōng lù chū jīng è zhī sè ， dàn xiǎng táo yǐ jīng lái bù jí le 。
梼杌的眼中露出惊愕之色，但想逃已经来不及了。
Sizzle...
cī lā ……
刺啦……
A layer of ice armor appeared on his body.
tā de shēn shàng ， yě duō chū le yī céng bīng jiǎ 。
他的身上，也多出了一层冰甲。
Talos struggled desperately, but it was futile. His movements slowed down until he was frozen in a huge block of ice along with the vast space.
táo wù pīn mìng zhēng zhá ， rán ér yòng tú bù dà ， dòng zuò yuè lái yuè huǎn ， zuì hòu yǔ nà jù dà de kōng jiān yì qǐ ， bèi bīng fēng zài le jù dà de bīng kuài lǐ miàn 。
梼杌拼命挣扎，然而用途不大，动作越来越缓，最后与那巨大的空间一起，被冰封在了巨大的冰块里面。
Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy, but there was no time for him to hesitate now.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī xǐ ， dàn xiàn zài yě méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā dān gē yóu yù 。
林轩表情一喜，但现在也没有时间给他耽搁犹豫。
Absolutely freezing had considerable power and could barely contain Talos, but only for a short while. This was enough...
jué duì bīng fēng wēi lì bù sú ， dàn yě jǐn néng miǎn qiǎng jiāng táo wù jìn gù ， ér qiě shí jiān fēi cháng duǎn cù ， bù guò zhè yě gòu le ……
绝对冰封威力不俗，但也仅能勉强将梼杌禁锢，而且时间非常短促，不过这也够了……
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan dripped another drop of Ten Thousand Year Essence Milk into his mouth.
lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， yòu wǎng zuǐ bā lǐ dī shàng le yī dī wàn nián líng rǔ 。
林轩二话不说，又往嘴巴里滴上了一滴万年灵乳。
The consumption of spirit energy from this technique quickly replenished.
yīn wèi shī zhǎn cǐ fǎ shù xiāo hào de líng lì xùn sù huī fù 。
因为施展此法术消耗的灵力迅速恢复。
Lin Xuan’s actions continued as he cast several more Spirit Decree techniques at the Spirit Decree Cauldron.
suí hòu lín xuān dòng zuò bù tíng ， yī liǎn jǐ dào fǎ jué xiàng líng jué dǐng dǎ chū 。
随后林轩动作不停，一脸几道法诀像灵诀鼎打出。
Thunderous sounds echoed as meteor showers appeared again.
hōng lōng lóng shēng dà zuò ， liú xīng huǒ yǔ zài yí cì chū xiàn le 。
轰隆隆声大做，流星火雨再一次出现了。
These were powerful secret techniques, and although they had been blocked before, now that Talos was trapped in ice, there was no place to hide.
zhè cái shì shā shāng lì biāo hàn de mì shù ， dì yī cì bèi duì fāng dǎng zhù ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， tā bèi fēng zài bīng kuài lǐ ， lián duǒ dōu méi yǒu dì fāng duǒ 。
这才是杀伤力彪悍的秘术，第一次被对方挡住，然而这一次，他被封在冰块里，连躲都没有地方躲。
Even if the meteor showers couldn’t destroy him, they would severely injure him.
jiù suàn liú xīng huǒ yǔ de wēi néng bù néng ràng qí yǔn luò ， yě fēi jiāng qí zhòng chuāng bù kě 。
就算流星火雨的威能不能让其陨落，也非将其重创不可。
Lin Xuan’s actions seemed simple but required the Ten Thousand Year Essence Milk after purification. Without it, even he could not have completed them.
lín xuān zhè yī lián chuàn de dòng zuò kàn shì jiǎn dān ， dàn rú guǒ méi yǒu tí chún hòu de wàn nián líng rǔ ， biàn shì tā ， yě bù kě néng wán chéng de 。
林轩这一连串的动作看似简单，但如果没有提纯后的万年灵乳，便是他，也不可能完成的。
So wealth was extremely important for cultivators; not only did it aid in daily cultivation, but it could also decide the outcome of a battle.
suǒ yǐ shēn jiā duì xiū xiān zhě lái shuō zhòng yào yǐ jí ， bù jǐn jǐn shì píng shí xiū liàn de yuán gù ， jiù suàn shì dòu fǎ ， ruò yī míng xiū shì shēn jiā fēng hòu ， yě yǒu kě néng jué dìng shèng fù zǒu xiàng de 。
所以身家对修仙者来说重要以极，不仅仅是平时修炼的缘故，就算是斗法，若一名修士身家丰厚，也有可能决定胜负走向的。
Inside the ice block.
bīng kuài zhōng 。
冰块中。
Talos’s eyes widened to the point of bulging. Struggling with all his might, the absolute freezing technique, which could freeze space, now seemed strained as creaking sounds filled his ears. Numerous cracks appeared on the surface of the ice.
táo wù dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， tā xiàn zài de biǎo qíng ， kě yòng mù chì zì liè lái xíng róng ， quán lì zhēng zhá ， zài qí guài lì xià ， néng gòu dòng jié kōng jiān de jué duì bīng fēng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě xiǎn de chī lì dào jí chù ， gē zhī gē zhī de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bīng kuài biǎo miàn ， yǒu wú shù liè wén fú xiàn ér chū 。
梼杌瞪大了眼珠，他现在的表情，可用目赤眦裂来形容，全力挣扎，在其怪力下，能够冻结空间的绝对冰封，此时此刻，也显得吃力到极处，咯吱咯吱的声音传入耳朵，冰块表面，有无数裂纹浮现而出。
Clearly, he was about to break free.
xiǎn rán tā mǎ shàng jiù yào zhèng tuō shù fù 。
显然他马上就要挣脱束缚。
Unfortunately, it was too late. This secret technique had already given Lin Xuan enough time.
kě xī wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， zhè mì shù yǐ wèi lín xuān zhēng qǔ dào le zú gòu de shí jiān 。
可惜为时已晚，这秘术已为林轩争取到了足够的时间。
Meteors streaked across the sky, appearing more brilliant against the dark night. Initially small points of light, they soon grew larger.
liú xīng huà pò cāng qióng ， zài qī hēi de tiān mù xià xiǎn de yuè fā de yào yǎn ， qǐ chū ， shì jǐ gè xiǎo xiǎo de guāng diǎn ， hěn kuài ， jiù biàn dé jù dà le qǐ lái 。
流星划破苍穹，在漆黑的天幕下显得越发的耀眼，起初，是几个小小的光点，很快，就变得巨大了起来。
Aaah!
áo ！
嗷！
Talos finally broke free from his bonds as ice fragments scattered everywhere. Just at this critical moment, the first meteor fell, a huge fireball over a hundred feet in diameter.
táo wù zhōng yú zhēng kāi le shù fù ， bīng kuài sì shè ， dàn qià qià zài zhè zuì guān jiàn shí kè ， dì yī kē liú xīng ， yǐ hōng rán zá zhì le ， jìn jù lí kàn ， nà shì yì zhí jìng chāo guò bǎi zhàng de jù dà huǒ qiú 。
梼杌终于挣开了束缚，冰块四射，但恰恰在这最关键时刻，第一颗流星，已轰然砸至了，近距离看，那是一直径超过百丈的巨大火球。
Talos’s eyes widened as he flipped his body upside down with his legs up. Opening his mouth again, he spat out another thick black mist.
táo wù dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， jìng rán jiāng shēn tǐ fān le guò lái ， sì jiǎo cháo tiān ， suí hòu zhāng kāi kǒu ， zài cì pēn chū yī dào hēi wù 。
梼杌瞪大了眼珠，身形一转，竟然将身体翻了过来，四脚朝天，随后张开口，再次喷出一道黑雾。
This black mist was denser than the one just frozen and contained some of his true essence energy.
rán ér zhè hēi wù què bǐ nà gāng gāng bèi dòng jié de yào níng hòu dé duō ， lǐ miàn shèn zhì yǒu tā de běn mìng zhēn yuán zài lǐ tou 。
然而这黑雾却比那刚刚被冻结的要凝厚得多，里面甚至有他的本命真元在里头。
After spitting it out, Talos's aura weakened significantly, his face showing signs of fatigue. But now, there was no time to rest.
táo wù pēn chū yǐ hòu ， hún shēn de qì xī yě shuāi ruò xǔ duō ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì pí juàn zhī sè ， dàn zhè shí hòu ， dāng rán bù kě néng xiè dài le 。
梼杌喷出以后，浑身的气息也衰弱许多，脸上满是疲倦之色，但这时候，当然不可能懈怠了。
The black mist flickered into a dark light screen, lifting the meteor.
zhǐ jiàn nà hēi wù yī shǎn ， xíng chéng le yī yǒu hēi de guāng mù ， jìng rán jiāng liú xīng tuō jǔ zhù 。
只见那黑雾一闪，形成了一黝黑的光幕，竟然将流星托举住。
He used some technique; the meteor didn’t explode. However, this was just the first one.
yě bù zhī dào tā shǐ yòng le shén me fǎ shù ， liú xīng jū rán méi yǒu bào zhà ， dàn zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī kē 。
也不知道他使用了什么法术，流星居然没有爆炸，但这仅仅是第一颗。
Next, thunderous sounds echoed as more meteors fell, each one landing precisely on Talos.
jǐn jiē zhe ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiē èr lián sān de yòu yǒu liú xīng zhuì luò ， ér qiě měi yī kē ， dōu fǎng fú zhǎng le yǎn jīng shì de ， bù piān bù yǐ de zá xiàng táo wù 。
紧接着，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，接二连三的又有流星坠落，而且每一颗，都仿佛长了眼睛似的，不偏不倚的砸向梼杌。
Lin Xuan counted and found there were eight in total.
lín xuān shù le yī shù ， qián hòu yī gòng shì bā kē 。
林轩数了一数，前后一共是八颗。
But this guy was truly formidable. The black mist he spat out was so dense that it blocked all eight meteors.
rán ér zhè jiā huo dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， pēn chū de nà céng mó wù níng hòu dào jí chù ， jiāng bā kē liú xīng quán bù dǎng zhù 。
然而这家伙当真是非同小可，喷出的那层魔雾凝厚到极处，将八颗流星全部挡住。
However, his face showed no signs of relief.
rán ér tā de liǎn shàng háo wú qīng sōng zhī sè 。
然而他的脸上毫无轻松之色。
Only one remained, the most terrifying one.
hái shèng zuì hòu yī kē ， tóng shí yě shì zuì kě pà de 。
还剩最后一颗，同时也是最可怕的。
The nine meteors summoned by the meteor showers had a special name: Nine Stars Conjoined.
liú xīng huǒ yǔ zhào huàn chū lái de liú xīng yī gòng yǒu jiǔ kē ， suǒ yǐ huán yǒu yí gè bié míng jiào jiǔ xīng lián zhū 。
流星火雨召唤出来的流星一共有九颗，所以还有一个别名叫九星连珠。
Its power was immense, especially the last one, which almost had apocalyptic effects. He didn’t have full confidence in catching it but now had no choice.
wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yóu qí shì zuì hòu yī kē ， jī hū yǒu huǐ tiān miè dì de xiào guǒ ， tā yě méi yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò néng jiē zhù ， dàn xiàn zài méi yǒu xuǎn zé 。
威力非同小可，尤其是最后一颗，几乎有毁天灭地的效果，他也没有绝对的把握能接住，但现在没有选择。
Roar!
hǒu ！
吼！
Talos’s voice shook the heart as an immense magical pressure expanded out. The intangible pressure alone seemed to crush space.
táo wù de jiào shēng dòng rén xīn pò ， yī gǔ jù dà de mó yā kuò zhǎn ér chū ， guāng shì nà wú xíng de yā lì ， jiù fǎng fú yào jiāng kōng jiān niǎn suì le 。
梼杌的叫声动人心魄，一股巨大的魔压扩展而出，光是那无形的压力，就仿佛要将空间碾碎了。
At the same time, the final meteor fell with apocalyptic power and crashed towards Talos.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， zuì hòu yī kē liú xīng zhuì luò ， dài zhe huǐ tiān miè dì de wēi néng ， hěn hěn de zá xiàng táo wù 。
与此同时，最后一颗流星坠落，带着毁天灭地的威能，狠狠的砸向梼杌。
Boom!
pēng ！
嘭！
A loud explosion echoed as smoke and dust scattered everywhere. Then, like a bird with broken wings, Talos fell into the territory of the Snow Fox Clan.
Talos was overwhelmed with shock and anger. The stark contrast caused by this situation was indescribable.
How could it be possible!
How could the opponent possess Void Essence Milk, a substance that even great cultivators of the Transcendation Stage find hard to come by?
Unless he witnessed it himself, no one would believe him if they told him such a thing.
Doubt after doubt filled his mind as Lin Xuan's mystique deepened in his heart.
One could not fathom this with common sense!
He had originally thought that by risking so much, sending another avatar to the Spirit Realm to deal with Lin Xuan would be easy, but now it was a complicated situation.
This young man’s techniques and treasures were numerous and intricate, rare even among Transcendation Stage cultivators. His essence energy was purer and more substantial than his peers. If not for his low realm, this avatar of his might have already perished.
With that thought, a look of fierce anger appeared on Talos's face, mixed with a hint of fear.
This fear came from deep within him.
No matter what, he could not let the young man live. Otherwise, if the young man one dayluckiness;侥幸 can also be translated as "侥幸心理" meaning "侥幸 psychology" or "relying on luck")advanced to the Transcendation Stage, even his own body arriving here would no longer be his match.

Talos's eyes glinted with ferocity. However, Lin Xuan acted first.
With the same brief incantation, his hands drew strange trajectories in mid-air before pointing towards the precious object in front of him.
"Quickly!"
As Lin Xuan moved, the light from the Spirit Decree Cauldron radiated out. A mysterious rune emerged from within, roughly the size of a head, light and ethereal as if it had no weight. It flickered slightly and floated towards Talos.
At first glance, its speed seemed slow, but just this flicker brought it to Talos’s eyes in an instant.
So strange that even the experienced Talos was taken aback. There was no time for him to think; a fierce expression flashed across his eyes as he opened his mouth wide, releasing a stench and a thick black aura like ink, which swept towards the peculiar rune.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan’s face showed no emotion except a faint glint in his eyes.
"Finally, you've fallen for it."
His hands suddenly moved rapidly, casting one after another of the Spirit Decree techniques at the strange rune. As he acted, the bizarre rune suddenly collapsed and disintegrated. The original runes vanished, replaced by four new but simpler ones.
Absolutely freezing!
Lin Xuan’s mouth emitted sounds that were incomprehensible to modern language. Even Talos could only partially understand it.
But this was no longer important. The four runes began to spin rapidly as terrifying coldness spread out.
Not only did the black mist Talos spat out freeze, but even the entire space froze!
Talos’s eyes showed shock, but he had no time to escape.
Sizzle...
A layer of ice armor appeared on his body.
Talos struggled desperately, but it was futile. His movements slowed down until he was frozen in a huge block of ice along with the vast space.
Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy, but there was no time for him to hesitate now.
Absolutely freezing had considerable power and could barely contain Talos, but only for a short while. This was enough...
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan dripped another drop of Ten Thousand Year Essence Milk into his mouth.
The consumption of spirit energy from this technique quickly replenished.
Lin Xuan’s actions continued as he cast several more Spirit Decree techniques at the Spirit Decree Cauldron.
Thunderous sounds echoed as meteor showers appeared again.
These were powerful secret techniques, and although they had been blocked before, now that Talos was trapped in ice, there was no place to hide.

After spitting it out, Talos's aura weakened significantly, his face showing signs of fatigue. But now, there was no time to rest.
The black mist flickered into a dark light screen, lifting the meteor.
He used some technique; the meteor didn’t explode. However, this was just the first one.
Next, thunderous sounds echoed as more meteors fell, each one landing precisely on Talos.
Lin Xuan counted and found there were eight in total.
But this guy was truly formidable. The black mist he spat out was so dense that it blocked all eight meteors.
However, his face showed no signs of relief.
Only one remained, the most terrifying one.
The nine meteors summoned by the meteor showers had a special name: Nine Stars Conjoined.
Its power was immense, especially the last one, which almost had apocalyptic effects. He didn’t have full confidence in catching it but now had no choice.
Roar!
Talos’s voice shook the heart as an immense magical pressure expanded out. The intangible pressure alone seemed to crush space.
At the same time, the final meteor fell with apocalyptic power and crashed towards Talos.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as smoke and dust scattered everywhere. Then, like a bird with broken wings, Talos fell into the territory of the Snow Fox Clan.
