nà yīn sī guǐ wù ， suī rán shì dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě ， dàn zài zhè zhǒng wēi néng xià ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù kě néng wán hǎo wú sǔn de 。
那yīn司鬼物，虽然是渡劫级别的强者，但在这种威能下，无论如何，也不可能完好无损的。
That yīn司鬼物, though a powerhouse at the Transcendence Realm level, could not remain unscathed under such power.
sú huà shuō ， yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū 。
俗话说，一着不慎满盘皆输。
As they say, one wrong move can spoil everything.
lín xuān zhè yī cì yòu dí zhī cè ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， wán měi dào jí chù ， yǒu méi yǒu kě néng ， yī cì jiù miè shā qiáng dí ne ？
林轩这一次诱敌之策，机缘巧合，完美到极处，有没有可能，一次就灭杀强敌呢？
Lin Xuan's latest strategy to lure his opponent was so well-timed and perfect that he wondered if it might succeed in eliminating this formidable enemy with just one strike.
shuō shí huà ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎo de 。
说实话，林轩也不晓得。
To be honest, Lin Xuan himself wasn't sure of the outcome.
fǎn zhèng tā de nèi xīn shēn chù ， duō duō shǎo shǎo ， hái shì yǒu jǐ fēn qī dài de 。
反正他的内心深处，多多少少，还是有几分期待的。
Nonetheless, a glimmer of hope lingered within him.
dāng rán ， yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， yě bú huì shū hū dà yì ， qīng dí zhè yàng de chǔn shì ， lín xuān bú huì qù zuò ， tā de liǎn shàng ， yī jiù bǎo chí zhe jiè bèi zhī sè。
当然，以林轩的xìng格，也不会疏忽大意，轻敌这样的蠢事，林轩不会去做，他的脸上，依旧保持着戒备之sè。
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn’t let his guard down or underestimate his opponent. His expression remained wary as he didn't have time to wait idly for the dust to settle. Silver light flared in his eyes as he activated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye just right.
yān chén shàng wèi sàn kāi ， bù guò lín xuān kě méi yǒu xīn qíng ， zài zhè ér shǎ shǎ de děng dài ， yǎn móu zhōng yín máng dà qǐ ， tiān fèng shén mù ， bèi tā qià dào hǎo chù de shī zhǎn chū lái 。
烟尘尚未散开，不过林轩可没有心情，在这儿傻傻的等待，眼眸中银芒大起，天凤神目，被他恰到好处的施展出来。
The scene before him gradually became clear, revealing everything in full view through his Spirit Vision technique.
qián fāng de yī qiè zhú jiàn qīng xī ， suǒ yǒu de jǐng wù zài lín xuān de líng mù mì shù xià yī lǎn wú yú 。
前方的一切逐渐清晰，所有的景物在林轩的灵目秘术下一览无余。
However, Lin Xuan's brows furrowed. Through the smoke and spiritual light, he found nothing. In other words, the opponent had vanished without a trace.
rán ér lín xuān què méi tóu yī tiāo 。
然而林轩却眉头一挑。
Could it be that this powerful entity had already perished under his secret technique?
tòu guò yān chén yǔ líng guāng ， tā jū rán shén me yě méi yǒu fā xiàn 。
透过烟尘与灵光，他居然什么也没有发现。
Various thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Xuan felt such a possibility was too far-fetched.
huàn jù huà shuō ， duì fāng xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
换句话说，对方消失了踪迹。
After all, the opponent was a powerhouse at the Transcendence Realm. Even if he had caught them off guard, it would still be too extreme for them to fall and vanish completely without leaving an元神.
nán dào zài gāng gāng de mì shù xià ， duì fāng yǐ yǔn luò huà wéi wū yǒu le ？
难道在刚刚的秘术下，对方已陨落化为乌有了？
Lin Xuan wasn't that arrogant. The existence of a Transcendence Realm entity couldn’t be easily destroyed by mere force.
gè zhǒng niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， dàn lín xuān què jué de zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng tài xū wàng le 。
各种念头在脑海中转过，但林轩却觉得这种可能xìng太虚妄了。
Although he had defeated the Thousand Illusion Old Demon and the Heavenly Essence Saint, Lin Xuan knew deep down that it was merely due to good fortune rather than his true strength matching that of a Transcendence Realm powerhouse.
duì fāng kě shì dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě ， jiù suàn dà yì zhī xià bèi zì jǐ qiǎng zhàn le xiān jī ， bèi dǎ le yí gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， dàn yǔn luò wú lùn rú hé ， yě tài lí pǔ ， gèng bú yào shuō huà wéi wū yǒu ， lián yuán yīng dōu méi yǒu táo chū 。
对方可是渡劫级别的强者，就算大意之下被自己抢占了先机，被打了一个措手不及，但陨落无论如何，也太离谱，更不要说化为乌有，连元婴都没有逃出。
Humility was important, but having a clear self-assessment was even more crucial.
lín xuān hái méi yǒu zì dà dào nà ge chéng dù 。
林轩还没有自大到那个程度。
Lin Xuan wasn't one to be overly confident. He had a clear understanding of his own capabilities.
dù jié qī cún zài kě bú shì zhǐ hú ， shuō miè chú jiù néng gòu miè chú 。
渡劫期存在可不是纸糊，说灭除就能够灭除。
Not weak, he far surpassed most cultivators at the same level, yet compared to a Transcendence Realm powerhouse, there were still some gaps.
suī rán zì jǐ yǐ xiān hòu dǎ bài le qiān huàn lǎo mó yǔ tiān yuán shèng zǔ ， dàn lín xuān xīn lǐ qīng chǔ ， yán gé lái shuō ， nà dōu shì yīn wèi zì jǐ yùn qì bù cuò ， bìng bú shì shuō ， tā de shí lì ， jiù zhēn néng yǔ dù jié qī fēn tíng kàng lǐ 。
虽然自己已先后打败了千幻老魔与天元圣祖，但林轩心里清楚，严格来说，那都是因为自己运气不错，并不是说，他的实力，就真能与渡劫期分庭抗礼。
This wasn’t arrogance but Lin Xuan’s accurate assessment based on experience.
rén guì zài zhī zú ， dàn duì zì jǐ yǒu yí gè qīng xīn de rèn shí ， qí shí shì gèng zhòng yào de 。
人贵在知足，但对自己有一个清新的认识，其实是更重要的。
Where could that entity have gone?
zì dà bú shì lín xuān de fēng gé ， duì yú zì jǐ de shí lì 。 lín xuān yǒu yí gè qīng xǐng de píng gū 。
自大不是林轩的风格，对于自己的实力。林轩有一个清醒的评估。
Lin Xuan's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye was capable of seeing through most concealment techniques in this world. But now, would it be too late to find the opponent's whereabouts?
bù ruò ， yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yǔ dù jié chū qī de dà néng xiāng bǐ ， duō duō shǎo shǎo ， yī jiù yǒu yī xiē chā jù 。
不弱，远胜同阶修仙者，但与渡劫初期的大能相比，多多少少，依旧有一些差距。
Even though his strength might not match a Transcendence Realm entity, Lin Xuan’s experience was vast. He shot forward with a burst of green light.
zhè bú shì wàng zì fěi bó ， ér shì lín xuān gēn jù zì jǐ de jīng yàn ， zǐ xì héng liáng chū lái de 。
这不是妄自菲薄，而是林轩根据自己的经验，仔细衡量出来的。
His movements were swift but still came too late as the sky darkened and yīn winds rose. A hundred-foot-long利爪materialized in mid-air, fingers closing down on him from above.
duì fāng jì méi yǒu yǔn luò ， nà dào nǎ lǐ qù le ？
对方既没有陨落，那到哪里去了？
The ghostly claws were black, sharp tips gleaming with yīn energy, appearing terrifying. Even though they hadn’t reached Lin Xuan yet, he could feel the immense force.
lín xuān de tiān fèng shén mù 。 néng gòu kàn pò sān jiè dà bù fèn yǐn nì zhī shù ， rán ér zhè shí hòu zài xún zhǎo duì fāng de shēn yǐng ， huì bú huì yǐ jīng wǎn le ？
林轩的天凤神目。能够看破三界大部分隐匿之术，然而这时候再寻找对方的身影，会不会已经晚了？
He sensed his surroundings tighten, his actions becoming sluggish, and his遁光slow as well. If this continued, he would be caught by those claws.
lín xuān de shí lì huò xǔ hái bù jí dù jié qī ， dàn jīng yàn què shì fēng fù wú bǐ ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， cháo zhe xié cì lǐ fēi qù 。
林轩的实力或许还不及渡劫期，但经验却是丰富无比，浑身青芒一起，朝着斜刺里飞去。
"Rule of Law Power!"
tā de dòng zuò bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， rán ér yī jiù shì wǎn le yī bù ， tiān sè biàn dé gèng jiā de huì àn le ，yīn fēng sì qǐ 。 yì bǎi zhàng zhǎng de lì zhuǎ yú bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū ， wǔ zhǐ yī hé ， xiàng zhe lín xuān dāng tóu zhuā luò 。
他的动作不可谓不迅速，然而依旧是晚了一步，天sè变得更加的晦暗了，yīn风四起。一百丈长的利爪于半空中浮现而出，五指一合，像着林轩当头抓落。
Lin Xuan was shocked. Unlike ordinary Spirit Realm cultivators, he had once faced a Transcendence Realm monster.
nà guǐ zhǎo zuò yǒu hēi zhī sè。 wǔ zhǐ jiān lì ，yīn qì liáo rào xiǎn de zhēng níng yǐ jí ， shàng wèi zhì ， jù lí lín xuān míng míng hái yǒu shù zhàng de jù lí ， tā jiù gǎn jué dào le yī gǔ bàng rán jù lì 。
那鬼爪做黝黑之sè。五指尖利，yīn气缭绕显得狰狞以极，尚未至，距离林轩明明还有数丈的距离，他就感觉到了一股磅然巨力。
One could see the pig even if one hadn't eaten pork.
zhǐ jué shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de kōng qì yī jǐn ， zhěng gè rén de dòng zuò dōu biàn dé níng zhì ， dùn guāng zì rán yě huǎn màn yǐ jí ， zhè yàng xià qù ， fēi bèi duì fāng zhuā zài shǒu lǐ 。
只觉身体周围的空气一紧，整个人的动作都变得凝滞，遁光自然也缓慢以极，这样下去，非被对方抓在手里。
While Lin Xuan couldn’t yet manipulate the laws of nature freely, recognizing them wasn’t difficult.
“ fǎ zé zhī lì ！”
“法则之力！”
This eerie entity indeed hadn’t perished and instead launched such a sharp counterattack.
lín xuān xīn zhōng hài rán wú bǐ 。 tā yǔ pǔ tōng de fēn shén qī xiū shì bù tóng ， yǔ dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě céng jīng jiāo shǒu guò 。
林轩心中骇然无比。他与普通的分神期修士不同，与渡劫期老怪物，也曾经交手过。
Lin Xuan felt a surge of shock.
sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， yě jiàn guò zhū pǎo 。
俗话说，没吃过猪肉，也见过猪跑。
He didn’t know where the opponent was hiding but had no time to discern. The priority now was to dodge this lethal strike.
lín xuān yú tiān dì fǎ zé 。 hái zuò bú dào líng huó yùn yòng ， dàn jǐn jǐn shì rèn chū ， què xiǎn de méi yǒu tài dà de nán dù 。
林轩于天地法则。还做不到灵活运用，但仅仅是认出，却显得没有太大的难度。
With his keen eyesight, Lin Xuan could clearly see the murderous intent in that claw.
zhè guǐ yì de jiā huo ， guǒ rán méi yǒu yǔn luò ， ér qiě shùn shì 。 jiù fā dòng le rú cǐ xī lì de fǎn jī 。
这诡异的家伙，果然没有陨落，而且顺势。就发动了如此犀利的反击。
"Ho!"
lín xuān xīn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī hài rán zhī yì 。
林轩心中闪过一丝骇然之意。
At such a critical moment, he couldn't afford to hold back. He let out a loud shout as all his strength surged forth.
yě bù zhī dào duì fāng duǒ zài hé chù ， bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù fēn biàn le ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì duǒ kāi duì fāng zhè zhì mìng de yī jī 。
也不知道对方躲在何处，不过此时此刻，林轩已没有时间去分辨了，当务之急，是躲开对方这致命的一击。
Due to his innate abilities, human cultivators were far less resilient and powerful compared to demons. Their physical prowess was inferior in terms of toughness, strength, and reaction speed.
yǐ lín xuān de yǎn lì ， zì rán kě yǐ kàn chū zhè yī zhuā ， suǒ yùn hán de shā yì ！
以林轩的眼力，自然可以看出这一抓，所蕴含的杀意！
But Lin Xuan defied this logic. His Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique was a top-grade demonic secret art, followed by daily consumption of refined Qilin Fruit, and other fortunate coincidences that had strengthened his body.
“ hē ！”
“喝！”
His physical strength surpassed ordinary demons, let alone those with divine bloodlines.
zhè zhǒng shēng sǐ yōu guān de shí kè ， lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn cáng zhuō ， yī shēng dà hē ， hún shēn de lì liàng hōng rán bó fā ér chū 。
这种生死攸关的时刻，林轩自然不敢藏拙，一声大喝，浑身的力量轰然勃发而出。
This wasn't an exaggeration; the power of that punch was indeed overwhelming.
yīn wèi tiān fù de yuán gù ， rén lèi xiū shì zài ròu shēn de duàn liàn shàng ， nà shì yuǎn xùn yú yāo zú ， jiān rèn 、 lì liàng 、 fǎn yìng ， nà dōu shì yào xùn sè xǔ duō 。
因为天赋的缘故，人类修士在肉身的锻炼上，那是远逊于妖族，坚韧、力量、反应，那都是要逊sè许多。
However, despite his shout and surge of energy, he couldn’t break free from the rule of law's restraint.
rán ér lín xuān què bù kě yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ， tā xiū liàn de fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， yuán běn jiù shì dǐng jiē de yāo xiū mì shù ， suí hòu yòu tiān tiān fú shí tí chún hòu de qí lín guǒ ， fēng yǔ wú zǔ ， zài jiā shàng yòng mò yù zhēn líng jué róng hé zhēn líng zhī xuè ， duì yú ròu shēn ， zì rán yě yǒu jiā qiáng de xiào guǒ ， zài jiā shàng qí tā de yī xiē jī yuán qiǎo hé ， lín xuān de ròu shēn qiáng dù ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de yāo zú ， jiù suàn nà xiē xuè mài bù fán de tiān dì líng zú ， yě yào xùn sè yī chóu de 。
然而林轩却不可用常理揣摩，他修炼的凤舞九天诀，原本就是顶阶的妖修秘术，随后又天天服食提纯后的麒麟果，风雨无阻，再加上用墨玉真灵诀融合真灵之血，对于肉身，自然也有加强的效果，再加上其他的一些机缘巧合，林轩的肉身强度，别说普通的妖族，就算那些血脉不凡的天地灵族，也要逊sè一筹的。
Though not completely immobile, at this speed, escaping the claw’s attack seemed impossible.
zhè huà jué méi yǒu fēn háo kuā dà zhī chù ， fǒu zé gāng gāng nà yī quán de wēi lì yě bú huì rú cǐ páng bó 。
这话绝没有分毫夸大之处，否则刚刚那一拳的威力也不会如此磅礴。
If another Spirit Realm cultivator were in Lin Xuan's position, they might be helpless. But despair or fear didn't show on his face.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， hún shēn lì liàng kuáng yǒng ér chū ， rán ér yī jiù wú fǎ zhèng tuō fǎ zé zhī lì de shù fù 。
然而此时此刻，林轩一声大喝，浑身力量狂涌而出，然而依旧无法挣脱法则之力的束缚。
He raised his right hand and shot out a series of silver rays from his sleeve.
suī fēi dòng tán bù dé ， dàn jiù xiàn zài zhè dùn guāng de sù dù ， xiǎng yào táo tuō yǎn qián lì zhuǎ de yī jī ， míng xiǎn shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
虽非动弹不得，但就现在这遁光的速度，想要逃脱眼前利爪的一击，明显是痴人说梦。
These weren’t sword qi but the true form of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
rú guǒ huàn yī míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě yǔ lín xuān yì dì ér chù ， huò xǔ hái zhēn wú kě nài hé ， rán ér lín xuān yǎn zhōng ， què bìng méi yǒu jué wàng wèi jù zhī sè。
如果换一名分神期修仙者与林轩异地而处，或许还真无可奈何，然而林轩眼中，却并没有绝望畏惧之sè。
"Quickly!"
tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi shè chū yī dào dào yín máng 。
他右手抬起，从衣袖中飞shè出一道道银芒。
Lin Xuan’s soft command was followed by a flash of light as the sword encircled him like flowing clouds, cutting through something intangible.
zhè kě bú shì jiàn qì ， ér shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn běn tǐ 。
这可不是剑气，而是九宫须臾剑本体。
The sharpness of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was legendary; it cut without making any sound. As the sword formed a circle around him, Lin Xuan felt the pressure ease and the binding sensation disappear.
lín xuān yī shēng qīng chì ， suí hòu biàn jiàn jiàn guāng yī shǎn ， wéi zhe tā de shēn tǐ rào le yī quān 。
林轩一声轻叱，随后便见剑光一闪，围着他的身体绕了一圈。
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, his face showing hints of surprise but not daring to linger. He accelerated away from the scene with his遁光.
zhěng gè dòng zuò rú xíng yún liú shuǐ yì bān ， fǎng fú jiāng shén me dōng xī qiē duàn 。
整个动作如行云流水一般，仿佛将什么东西切断。
Boom!
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de fēng lì bù yòng tí ， jiàn guāng suǒ guò zhī chù ， què méi yǒu fēn háo de shēng xī 。
九宫须臾剑的锋利不用提，剑光所过之处，却没有分毫的声息。
The ghostly claw’s strike landed in empty air, sending dust flying and creating a large crater over a hundred feet wide, deep beyond measure.
ér suí zhe jiàn guāng huà le yí gè yuán ， lín xuān gǎn jué yā lì zhòu jiǎn ， nà bèi shù fù de gǎn jué yǐ rán bú jiàn 。
而随着剑光画了一个圆，林轩感觉压力骤减，那被束缚的感觉已然不见。
Despite the distance between them and the surrounding mountains, the rumbling shook the ground, collapsing under the residual shockwave.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
The power was astonishing.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yǐn yǐn kě jiàn jīng xǐ ， què sī háo bù gǎn dān gē ， hún shēn dùn guāng yì qǐ ， jiā sù fēi lí le yuán dì 。
林轩松了口气，脸上的表情隐隐可见惊喜，却丝毫不敢耽搁，浑身遁光一起，加速飞离了原地。
But the Ghost Saint's voice was filled with rage: "Impossible! You used what kind of treasure to cut through even the rule of law?"
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan could see his ambush coming; he had expected this from a cunning opponent.
nà guǐ zhǎo de yī jī luò zài kōng chù ， chén tǔ fēi wǔ ， dì biǎo chū xiàn le yí gè dà dòng ， zhí jìng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
那鬼爪的一击落在空处，尘土飞舞，地表出现了一个大洞，直径百丈有余，深不见底。
But recognizing it didn’t matter. He had already employed the rule of law, aiming for one decisive strike. There wasn't time to waste on this annoying brat; he wanted to crush him in one blow.
zhōu wéi de jǐ zuò shān mài ， míng míng hái xiāng jù shèn yuǎn ， dàn hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jǐn jǐn shì yú bō sǎo guò ， jiù yǐ rán tān tā diào le 。
周围的几座山脉，明明还相距甚远，但轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，仅仅是余波扫过，就已然坍塌掉了。
The idea was good, and he was confident in his technique. After all, he knew well how powerful the force of the laws could be. Although his understanding at his current realm was limited, it was more than enough to kill a Spirit Realm cultivator.
nà wēi lì lìng rén chēng mù jié shé 。
那威力令人瞠目结舌。
Using an oversized tool for a small job didn’t matter; he hadn’t expected such a failure.
rán ér guǐ shèng de shēng yīn què mǎn shì jīng nù ：“ bù kě néng ， nǐ shǐ yòng de shì shén me bǎo wù ， jū rán lián fǎ zé zhī lì dōu néng qiē gē 。”
然而鬼圣的声音却满是惊怒：“不可能，你使用的是什么宝物，居然连法则之力都能切割。”
