kě pà yǐ jí ， suī rán yǐ bǎi huā xiān zi de shí lì ， bù zhì yú zhān zhī lì bì ， dàn yī shí de xuàn yūn má mù shì miǎn bù liǎo dì 。【 wú dàn chuāng 】
可怕以极，虽然以百花仙子的实力，不至于沾之立毙，但一时的眩晕麻木是免不了地。【无弹窗】
Terrifying indeed, although Fairy Hundred Flowers had the power to withstand it, she couldn't avoid a momentary dizziness and numbness. [No Pop-ups]
suí hòu nà chì jīn chán chú de shēn tǐ yī zhèn mó hú ， wú shù chù shǒu mó yàng de dōng xī yóu tā biǎo miàn de pí fū yán zhǎn ér chū ， jiāng bǎi huā xiān zi láo láo kǔn zhù 。
随后那赤金蟾蜍的身体一阵模糊，无数触手模样的东西由他表面的皮肤延展而出，将百花仙子牢牢捆住。
Subsequently, the body of the red-gold toad became blurry as countless tentacle-like things extended from his skin, tightly binding Fairy Hundred Flowers.
nà chù shǒu měi yī gēn bù guò xiǎo mǔ zhǐ cū ， rán ér què shì yóu běn yuán zhī tǐ fēn huà xíng chéng dì ， shèn zhì lián fǎ zé zhī lì ná tā yě wú kě nài hé 。
那触手每一根不过小拇指粗，然而却是由本源之体分化形成地，甚至连法则之力拿牠也无可奈何。
Each of these tentacles was no thicker than a thumb but were formed from the original substance, making them impervious even to法则 powers.
bǎi huā xiān zi shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， yī shí piàn kè yě wú fǎ zhèng tuō 。
百花仙子使尽浑身解数，一时片刻也无法挣脱。
Fairy Hundred Flowers used all her strength and ingenuity, but she couldn't break free in an instant.
cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng nà yún dàn fēng qīng de lěng mò xiāo shī bú jiàn le ， biàn dé yòu jīng yòu nù ：“ nǐ gǎn qī piàn wǒ ？”
此女脸上那云淡风轻的冷漠消失不见了，变得又惊又怒：“你敢欺骗我？”
The coldness on her face vanished as she became both shocked and angry: "You dare deceive me?"
“ piàn nǐ yòu rú hé ， chǔn nǚ rén ， jiāng běn zūn bī dào rú cǐ dì bù ， nǐ xiàn zài kě yǐ qù sǐ le 。”
“骗你又如何，蠢女人，将本尊逼到如此地步，妳现在可以去死了。”
"Deceive you? What of it, foolish woman? You've pushed the Sovereign to such a point; now you can die."
nà chì jīn sè de chán chú kǒu tǔ rén yán de shuō ， tóng shí ， nà běn yuán zhī tǐ biàn huà ér chéng de chán chú jū rán xiàng tā pū le guò qù ， liàng lì de jīn máng yào yǎn yǐ jí 。
那赤金色的蟾蜍口吐人言的说，同时，那本源之体变化而成的蟾蜍居然像她扑了过去，亮丽的金芒耀眼以极。
The red-gold toad spoke with human speech while the original substance transformed into a toad-like creature lunged at her, its radiant golden light blinding.
“ nǐ …… nǐ fēng le me ， jū rán xiǎng yào zì bào běn yuán zhī tǐ ， shī qù cǐ wù ， nǐ jìng jiè jiāng dà jiàng xǔ duō ， lián zhēn líng yě zuò bù chéng le 。”
“你……你疯了么，居然想要自爆本源之体，失去此物，你境界将大降许多，连真灵也做不成了。”
"You...you're mad! Wanting to self-destruct your original body. Losing this will greatly reduce your realm, and you won't even be able to become a true spirit."
yǎn qián de jǐng xiàng luò zài bǎi huā xiān zi yǎn lǐ ， cǐ nǚ biàn dé huáng kǒng yǐ jí ， yuán běn róu měi de shēng yīn yě xiǎn de yǒu jǐ fēn jiān lì 。
眼前的景象落在百花仙子眼里，此女变得惶恐以极，原本柔美的声音也显得有几分尖利。
The scene before Fairy Hundred Flowers was terrifying as she became more panicked, her originally gentle voice now tinged with sharpness.
zhè yě shì nán guài dì ， shuí zài xìng mìng yōu guān de yī kè ， yě bù kě néng zuò dào dàn rán xián shū 。
这也是难怪地，谁在性命攸关的一刻，也不可能做到淡然贤淑。
It was understandable; who could remain calm in such a critical moment?
kě wù ， dōu shì zì jǐ tài guò dà yì ， cái huì luò dào rú jīn zhè bān bèi dòng de jìng dì 。
可恶，都是自己太过大意，才会落到如今这般被动的境地。
Wretched, it was all due to her own carelessness that she found herself in this passive situation.
cǐ nǚ liǎn sè cāng bái yǐ jí ， rán ér jí qiè zhī jiān ， gēn běn jiù zhèng tuō bù liǎo shù fù ， duì fāng lián běn yuán zhī tǐ dōu shě de jì chū ， biàn shì lǐng yù yě nán yǐ qǐ dào nì zhuǎn qián kūn de xiào guǒ 。
此女脸色苍白以极，然而急切之间，根本就挣脱不了束缚，对方连本源之体都舍得祭出，便是领域也难以起到逆转乾坤的效果。
Her face pale, but desperate, she couldn't break free from the bindings. Even with the original body, the opponent's domain had little effect.
nán dào zhēn yào zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò ？
难道真要在这里陨落？
Must I really perish here?
bǎi huā xiān zi kuài jí fēng le ， hòu miàn nà yī rén gāo de chán chú què zài fēi kuài de tuì zǒu 。
百花仙子快急疯了，后面那一人高的蟾蜍却在飞快的退走。
Fairy Hundred Flowers was nearly driven mad as the one-meter-high toad rapidly retreated.
“ shī qù běn yuán zhī lì de xià chǎng shì shén me ， běn zūn hěn qīng chǔ ， zuò bù chéng zhēn líng yòu rú hé ， zǒng hǎo guò zuò nǐ de nú pú ， rèn nǐ qū cè ， hé kuàng jiù suàn shī qù cǐ wù ， běn zūn de shí lì ， yī jiù kān bǐ pǔ tōng de dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， kǔ xiū gè yī liǎng bǎi wàn nián ， tóng yàng yǒu jī huì chóng xīn chéng wéi zhēn líng de ， ér nǐ ， jiāng jiù cǐ yǔn luò ， lián duò rù lún huí de jī huì yě wú ， yú chǔn de jiā huo ， shuí ràng nǐ yào duì běn zūn kǔ kǔ xiàng bī ne ？”
“失去本源之力的下场是什么，本尊很清楚，做不成真灵又如何，总好过做你的奴仆，任你驱策，何况就算失去此物，本尊的实力，依旧堪比普通的渡劫初期的修仙者，苦修个一两百万年，同样有机会重新成为真灵的，而妳，将就此陨落，连堕入轮回的机会也无，愚蠢的家伙，谁让妳要对本尊苦苦相逼呢？”
"What is the fate of losing your original power? The Sovereign knows very well; failing to become a true spirit isn't so bad. It’s better than being your slave, at your mercy. Besides, even without this, my strength still rivals that of an ordinary cultivator at the early Transcendence stage. With a million or two years of hard cultivation, I might regain the chance to be a true spirit. But you will perish, with no chance for reincarnation. A foolish creature; who made you so persistently push me?"
jīn yuè zhēn chán de shēng yīn chōng mǎn liǎo de yì ， dàn yǐn yǐn yòu kě jiàn yī xiē yuàn dú ， bì jìng ， shī qù běn yuán zhī tǐ de dài jià fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā shí zài méi yǒu gèng duō de xuǎn zé 。
金玥真蟾的声音充满了得意，但隐隐又可见一些怨毒，毕竟，失去本源之体的代价非同小可，不过此时此刻，牠实在没有更多的选择。
Golden Jade True Toad's voice was filled with triumph but tinged with resentment. Losing her original body was a significant price, and she had no more choices.
dōu shì zhè chǔn nǚ rén hài de 。
都是这蠢女人害的。
It was all this stupid woman’s fault.
tā bú shì hěn xiāo zhāng ， hěn shèng qì líng rén me ， wèi le yī zhū xiān cǎo jiāng zì jǐ bī dé zǒu tóu wú lù ， xiàn zài rú hé ？
她不是很嚣张，很盛气凌人么，为了一株仙草将自己逼得走投无路，现在如何？
She wasn’t arrogant or domineering? Forcing herself into a corner for a mere immortal herb, now what?
xū zhī tù zi jí le yě huì yǎo rén ， gèng bú yào huáng lùn zhēn líng le 。
须知兔子急了也会咬人，更不要遑论真灵了。
Even a rabbit in desperation will bite; let alone a true spirit.
“ nǐ zhēn yǐ wéi shì shì jǐn zài zhǎng wò ， yǐ yíng guò běn xiān zi le ？”
“你真以为世事尽在掌握，已赢过本仙子了？”
"Think you have everything under control and won against me?"
jiàn jīn yuè zhēn chán xiāo zhāng bá hù ， bǎi huā xiān zi yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yuàn dú ， tū rán yǒu xiē guǐ yì de shuō 。
见金玥真蟾嚣张跋扈，百花仙子眼中闪过一丝怨毒，突然有些诡异的说。
Fairy Hundred Flowers' eyes flashed with resentment as she suddenly said something strange.
jīn yuè zhēn chán yī è ， suí hòu yǒu xiē bù xiè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ chǔn huò ， dào le zhè shí kè ， xū zhāng shēng shì hái yǒu shén me yòng tú ， yí ， zhè shì ……”
金玥真蟾一愕，随后有些不屑的声音传入耳朵：“蠢货，到了这时刻，虚张声势还有什么用途，咦，这是……”
Golden Jade True Toad was taken aback. A disdainful voice entered her ears: "Fool, at this moment, what use is posturing? Hey, look..."
tā huà yīn wèi luò ， yuán běn zhì zhū zài wò de biǎo qíng tū rán zhuǎn wéi jīng kǒng ， tóng shí hái yǒu xiē cuò è ， jiù fǎng fú yù jiàn guǐ le shì de 。
牠话音未落，原本智珠在握的表情突然转为惊恐，同时还有些错愕，就仿佛遇见鬼了似的。
Before it could finish, its expression changed from smug to fearful and even shocked, as if encountering a ghost.
sōu sōu …… pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， nà xiē xuán fú zài yī cè de jīng yíng jiàn sī tū rán dòng qǐ lái le ， yǐ xùn léi bù jí yǎn ěr zhī shì ， jiāng zhè yī piàn xū kōng ， quán bù cì chuān huà wèi xū wú ， yǐ jīng tǔ chū běn yuán zhī tǐ de jīn yuè zhēn chán duǒ wú kě duǒ ， bèi dà xiè bā kuài ， mǐn miè zài zhè pò suì de xū kōng zhī zhōng 。
嗖嗖……破空声大做，那些悬浮在一侧的晶莹剑丝突然动起来了，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，将这一片虚空，全部刺穿化为虚无，已经吐出本源之体的金玥真蟾躲无可躲，被大卸八块，泯灭在这破碎的虚空之中。
Swoosh... The crystal sword threads suspended nearby suddenly moved with lightning speed, piercing the void, turning everything into nothingness. Golden Jade True Toad, having already revealed her original body, had no place to hide, dismembered and annihilated in this shattered void.
yuán běn tā de mù dì jī hū yǐ jīng kuài yào dá dào le 。
原本牠的目的几乎已经快要达到了。
Almost its goal was nearly achieved.
kě xī zài wán quán chéng gōng yǐ qián ， yī jiù fàn le zì dà qīng dí de cuò wù ， shuō lè jí shēng bēi nà shì yì diǎn yě bù dài kuā zhāng hán hú 。
可惜在完全成功以前，依旧犯了自大轻敌的错误，说乐极生悲那是一点也不带夸张含糊。
Unfortunately, it still made a fatal mistake before complete success, making the tragedy all too real.
rán ér jīn yuè zhēn chán suī rán sǐ le ， bǎi huā xiān zi de chǔ jìng ， què bìng bú huì yīn cǐ fā shēng rèn hé gǎi guān de 。
然而金玥真蟾虽然死了，百花仙子的处境，却并不会因此发生任何改观的。
Though Golden Jade True Toad died, Fairy Hundred Flowers' situation wouldn't change. Her original body still bound her tightly, about to explode.
duì fāng de běn yuán zhī tǐ ， yī jiù láo láo jiāng tā shù fù ， ér qiě mǎ shàng jiù yào bào zhà le 。
对方的本源之体，依旧牢牢将她束缚，而且马上就要爆炸了。
The original body was the most pure and crucial thing for true spirits.
běn yuán zhī tǐ ， duì zhēn líng lái shuō ， shì zuì chún cuì yě zuì zhòng yào de dōng xī 。
本源之体，对真灵来说，是最纯粹也最重要的东西。
Because of this, they possessed unparalleled magical power, even commanding legendary chaotic demon qi.
jiù yīn wèi cǐ wù ， suǒ yǐ tā men yōng yǒu wú shàng de fǎ lì ， shèn zhì néng gòu yì shǐ chuán shuō zhōng de hùn dùn yāo qì 。
就因为此物，所以他们拥有无上的法力，甚至能够役使传说中的混沌妖气。
Its subtlety rivaled the primordial laws; domains were helpless in a moment.
cǐ wù de xuán miào zhī chù ， shèn zhì bù xùn yú zuì yuán shǐ de tiān dì fǎ zé ， jiù suàn shì lǐng yù ， yī shí piàn kè ， yě ná tā méi zhé 。
此物的玄妙之处，甚至不逊于最原始的天地法则，就算是领域，一时片刻，也拿牠没辙。
Such a powerful entity, what more could be said of its might?
rú cǐ biāo hàn de dōng xī ， wēi lì hái yòng duō shuō ？
如此彪悍的东西，威力还用多说？
Even if Fairy Hundred Flowers was just an ordinary cultivator, or if a resilient demon king or ancient demonic ancestor were in her place, they would surely perish.
bié shuō bǎi huā xiān zi zhǐ shì yī rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì shēn tǐ jiān rèn wú bǐ de yāo wáng huò zhě gǔ mó shèng zǔ yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， yě kěn dìng de shì bì sǐ wú yí de 。
别说百花仙子只是一人类修仙者，就算是身体坚韧无比的妖王或者古魔圣祖与她易地而处，也肯定的是必死无疑的。
Lin Xuan understood this clearly. Though he didn't know the original body's nature, his combat experience was vast—born and raised amidst bloodshed and deceit.
zhè zhōng jiān de dào lǐ lín xuān hěn qīng chǔ ， jǐn guǎn ， tā bìng bù zhī dào běn yuán zhī tǐ ， jiū jìng shì shén me ， dàn lín xuān de dòu fǎ jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， nà shì zài xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， yīn móu guǐ jì zhōng dǎ gǔn guò lái de 。
这中间的道理林轩很清楚，尽管，他并不知道本源之体，究竟是什么，但林轩的斗法经验何等丰富，那是在腥风血雨，阴谋诡计中打滚过来的。
Initially, Lin Xuan felt no discomfort when Golden Jade True Toad submitted. Good death is better than a lingering one; it seemed the only choice to avoid perishing.
jīn yuè zhēn chán de qū fú ， lín xuān qǐ chū hái méi yǒu gǎn jué dào bù tuǒ ， bì jìng hǎo sǐ bù rú lài huó zhe ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， duì fāng bù xiǎng yǔn luò ， fú ruǎn sì hū shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé 。
金玥真蟾的屈服，林轩起初还没有感觉到不妥，毕竟好死不如赖活着，表面上看，对方不想陨落，服软似乎是唯一的选择。
But as he slowly approached, Lin Xuan became wary.
kě dāng tā màn màn fèi fēi jìn de shí hòu lín xuān jiù yǒu xiē jǐng tì le 。
可当他慢慢费飞进的时候林轩就有些警惕了。
Then, seeing its unhesitant submission, willingly giving her soul and essence along with the original body, Lin Xuan sensed something amiss.
jiē zhe ， kàn jiàn tā háo bù yóu yù ， guāi guāi de jiāo chū zì jǐ de yī hún yī pò yǔ běn yuán zhī tǐ 。
接着，看见牠毫不犹豫，乖乖的交出自己的一魂一魄与本源之体。
If truly submissive, in such circumstances, it would be incredibly reluctant!
lín xuān yī jī líng 。
林轩一激灵。
Even if forced, instinctively or by human nature, it would resist.
lì kè pàn duàn chū ， yǒu zhà ！
立刻判断出，有诈！
Knowing this, but still doing so, who wouldn't?
wú tā ， duì fāng ruò shì zhēn xīn shùn fú ， dàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， kěn dìng shì yì bǎi gè bù gān xīn a ！
无他，对方若是真心顺服，但在这种情况下，肯定是一百个不甘心啊！
But he didn’t!
nà me ， tā jí biàn wú fǎ kàng jù ， dàn zài jiāo chū běn yuán zhī tǐ yǔ hún pò de guò chéng zhōng ， běn néng ， huò zhě shuō rén zhī cháng qíng ， yě huì bǎi bān tuī wěi 。
那么，他即便无法抗拒，但在交出本源之体与魂魄的过程中，本能，或者说人之常情，也会百般推诿。
Without hesitation, he handed over his soul with extraordinary ease.
jí biàn míng zhī dào zhè me zuò ， yě méi yǒu yòng ， dàn huàn zuò shuí ， běn néng yě huì rú cǐ de 。
即便明知道这么做，也没有用，但换做谁，本能也会如此的。
This action convinced Fairy Hundred Flowers that the situation was under control; she relaxed her vigilance.
kě tā méi yǒu ！
可他没有！
However, Lin Xuan deduced the inaccuracy based on this.
èr huà bù shuō ， jiù shuǎng kuài yì cháng de jiāo chū le hún pò 。
二话不说，就爽快异常的交出了魂魄。
While Lin Xuan's power fell far short of Fairy Hundred Flowers', his experience and understanding of the perilous nature of the cultivation world far surpassed hers.
zhèng shì zhè ge dòng zuò ràng bǎi huā xiān zi rèn wéi dà jú yǐ dìng ， jiāng zuì hòu de jǐng tì yě fàng qì le 。
正是这个动作让百花仙子认为大局已定，将最后的警惕也放弃了。
Fairy Hundred Flowers, a million-year-old cultivator, had lived through late-stage Transcendence. Wasn’t she wise?
rán ér lín xuān bù tóng ， què jù cǐ pàn duàn chū le bù tuǒ 。
然而林轩不同，却据此判断出了不妥。
But appearances were deceiving.
lùn shí lì ， lín xuān bù jí bǎi huā xiān zi zhī wàn yī 。
论实力，林轩不及百花仙子之万一。
Exactly because her strength reached late-stage Transcendence, making her a super-strong spirit realm figure with a revered identity, accustomed to being treated like a queen or princess, people never dared defy her slightest command.
dàn jiù jīng yàn lái shuō ， duì xiū xiān jiè xiǎn è de lǐ jiě ， lín xuān què fǎn ér chāo guò le duì fāng xǔ duō 。
但就经验来说，对修仙界险恶的理解，林轩却反而超过了对方许多。
Thus, Fairy Hundred Flowers lowered her vigilance. In the blood-soaked world of deceit and treachery, she no longer faced such threats.
biǎo miàn shàng ， sì hū yǒu diǎn bù kào pǔ ， bǎi huā xiān zi kě shì huó le shàng bǎi wàn nián de rén wù ， dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
表面上，似乎有点不靠谱，百花仙子可是活了上百万年的人物，渡劫后期的修仙者。
Consequently, complacency led her into Golden Jade True Toad's clever trap, sealing her fate.
nán dào zhè me duō nián huì shì bái huó 。
难道这么多年会是白活。
Now it was too late to say anything.
dàn wèn tí bú shì zhè me kàn de 。
但问题不是这么看的。
But Lin Xuan, having seen through the deception first, had already fled far away.
qià qià shì yīn wèi tā shí lì dá dào le dù jié hòu qī ， chéng wéi le líng jiè dǐng ér jiān ér de chāo jí qiáng zhě ， shēn fèn zūn chóng ， píng rì lǐ yí zhǐ qì shǐ ， yǒu rèn hé fēn fù ， zhōu wéi de rén wú bù zūn cóng 。
恰恰是因为她实力达到了渡劫后期，成为了灵界顶儿尖儿的超级强者，身份尊崇，平日里颐指气使，有任何吩咐，周围的人无不尊从。
Visibility now mattered little; in this critical moment, neither Fairy Hundred Flowers nor Golden Jade True Toad would care about him. After all, he was just a tiny ant insignificant to their grand schemes.
Terrifying indeed, although Fairy Hundred Flowers had the power to withstand it, she couldn't avoid a momentary dizziness and numbness. [No Pop-ups]
Subsequently, the body of the red-gold toad became blurry as countless tentacle-like things extended from his skin, tightly binding Fairy Hundred Flowers.
Each of these tentacles was no thicker than a thumb but were formed from the original substance, making them impervious even to法则 powers.
Fairy Hundred Flowers used all her strength and ingenuity, but she couldn't break free in an instant.

Before it could finish, its expression changed from smug to fearful and even shocked, as if encountering a ghost.
Swoosh... The crystal sword threads suspended nearby suddenly moved with lightning speed, piercing the void, turning everything into nothingness. Golden Jade True Toad, having already revealed her original body, had no place to hide, dismembered and annihilated in this shattered void.
