第两千九百二十五章 败退的真灵傀儡

huàn líng tiān huǒ huàn huà chū lái de jù mǎng qì shì páng bó ， tōng tǐ bèi wǔ sè liú lí de guāng yàn bāo guǒ ， è hěn hěn de xiàng zhe duì fāng pū yǎo guò qù le 。

幻灵天火幻化出来的巨蟒气势磅礴，通体被五色琉璃的光焰包裹，恶狠狠的像着对方扑咬过去了。

The giant python, transformed from the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, exuded an imposing aura. Its entire body was wrapped in flickering flames of five colors, and it fiercely lunged at its opponent with a ferocious snarl.

ér lín xuān de shǒu duàn dāng rán bú huì jǐn zhǐ yú cǐ 。

而林轩的手段当然不会仅止于此。

Lin Xuan's methods were far from limited to this alone.

xiù páo yī fú ， zhǐ jiàn gè sè líng guāng shǎn shuò ， dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， tā yì kǒu qì fàng chū le shí yú jiàn bīng qì 。

袖袍一拂，只见各色灵光闪烁，刀枪剑戟，他一口气放出了十余件兵器。

With a wave of his sleeves, various colored spiritual lights flashed. A dozen weapons—swords, spears, halberds, and more—were instantly released.

zhè xiē bìng fēi tā cháng yòng de bǎo wù ， dàn jì rán huì liú cún zài chǔ wù dài lǐ ， pǐn jí zì rán shì bú huì chà de 。

这些并非他常用的宝物，但既然会留存在储物袋里，品级自然是不会差的。

These weren't items he commonly used, but since they remained in his storage pouch, their quality was naturally not poor.

měi yī jiàn dōu líng xìng shí zú ， huò huà wèi yào mù jīng hóng ， huò biǎo miàn líng guāng jù tuán shǎn shuò ， wéi rào qí shàng xià pán xuán fēi wǔ 。

每一件都灵性十足，或化为耀目惊虹，或表面灵光聚团闪烁，围绕其上下盘旋飞舞。

Each item radiated with vitality, transforming into dazzling streaks of light or gathering spiritual lights that swirled around them.

qí zhōng yī shù cùn dà xiǎo de yín píng ， yī cuì lǜ yù dī de shǒu zhuó ， yī fàng chū jiù líng guāng sì shè ， shèn zhì lián fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ， dōu yǒu suǒ gǎn yìng de suí zhī jì dòng qǐ lái le 。

其中一数寸大小的银瓶，一翠绿欲滴的手镯，一放出就灵光四射，甚至连附近的天地元气，都有所感应的随之悸动起来了。

One of the silver bottles, a green hand bracelet, and a crystal stone emitted intense spiritual light upon release, causing nearby primordial energy to tremble in response.

tōng tiān líng bǎo ！

通天灵宝！

Divine Treasures!

suī rán shì hòu tiān zhī wù ， dàn pǐn zhì yě shì bù sú 。

虽然是后天之物，但品质也是不俗。

Although they were created after birth, their quality was still commendable.

míng zhī duì fāng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo de bǎo liú cáng zhuō 。

明知对方非同小可，林轩自然不敢有分毫的保留藏拙。

Knowing his opponent was no ordinary foe, Lin Xuan did not hesitate. With a low cry, these treasures unleashed their full power under his immense strength, striking the opponent with all their might.

yī shēng dī hē ， zhè xiē bǎo wù zài tā páng ** lì de zhī chēng xià ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， xiàng zhe duì fāng hěn hěn de jī dǎ guò qù le 。

一声低喝，这些宝物在他庞**力的支撑下，各展神通，向着对方狠狠的击打过去了。

Though this attack fell short of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage and Meteor Shower, it certainly wasn't something an ordinary Golden Transformation Period cultivator could ignore.

zhè yàng de gōng jī ， suī rán bù jí gāng gāng de bǎi niǎo cháo fèng jiā liú xīng huǒ yǔ ， dàn yě jué bú shì yì bān de dù jié qī cún zài kě yǐ hū shì 。

这样的攻击，虽然不及刚刚的百鸟朝凤加流星火雨，但也绝不是一般的渡劫期存在可以忽视。

However, that dense mass of dark energy remained suspended in place, continuing to emit cracking sounds as if bones were breaking. The noise was like raindrops falling, continuous and relentless.

rán ér nà tuán nóng mì de yīn qì yī jiù dòng yě bù dòng de xuán fú zài nà lǐ ， gǔ gé bào liè shēng yī jiù bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mì jí dé yǔ yǔ diǎn xiāng chà fǎng fú 。

然而那团浓密的阴气依旧动也不动的悬浮在那里，骨骼爆裂声依旧不停的传入耳朵，密集得与雨点相差仿佛。

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed with a cold glint. Without further ado, more spiritual power was poured into the scene.

lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī lěng liè zhī yì 。

林轩眼睛微眯，眼中闪过一丝冷冽之意。

Zing…

yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， gèng duō de fǎ lì què bèi zhù rù jìn qù le 。

也不见他多余的动作，更多的法力却被注入进去了。

A sharp crackle filled his ears as the talismans ignited on their own. The lid of the jade box was pushed open by some unseen force, revealing a true spirit puppet.

sōu ……

嗖……

Still only an inch long, this miniature figure remained unremarkable from any angle.

jiān ruì de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

尖锐的破空声传入耳朵。

Lin Xuan flicked his fingers and three crystal stones, each about the size of a jujube, appeared, emitting light that changed between red, yellow, and blue. A mysterious power surged forth.

nà xiē bǎo wù suǒ huà xíng tài gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn què yī gǔ nǎo de hěn hěn zá jìn le nà tuán guǐ yì de yīn qì zhī zhōng 。

那些宝物所化形态各不相同，但却一股脑的狠狠砸进了那团诡异的阴气之中。

Without further ado, these magical stones rapidly shrank to the size of grains of rice before embedding themselves into the true spirit puppet.

hōng ！

轰！

Roar!

jīng tiān jù xiǎng chuán lái 。

惊天巨响传来。

The fierce roar of a dragon echoed, accompanied by an overwhelming spiritual pressure descending from the heavens. It felt no less formidable than that of a regular Golden Transformation cultivator.

dàn xià yī kè ， suǒ yǒu de shēng yīn dōu mò míng de xiāo shī le 。

但下一刻，所有的声音都莫名的消失了。

This was Lin Xuan's last trump card.

bù ， bù zhǐ shì shēng yīn ， nà shí yú yàng wēi lì jù mǎo dà de bǎo wù ， zá jìn yīn qì lǐ ， yě dōu bú jiàn le zōng jì ， bāo kuò huàn líng tiān huǒ ， fǎng fú quán dōu bù céng chū xiàn guò 。

不，不止是声音，那十余样威力巨冇大的宝物，砸进阴气里，也都不见了踪迹，包括幻灵天火，仿佛全都不曾出现过。

Though its power was immense, driving this true spirit puppet required divine stones as energy. With few such stones on him, he hesitated to use it unless absolutely necessary. But now, with his resources nearly depleted, there was no choice.

suī rán yǔ shén shí hái yǒu lián xì ， dàn lín xuān de méi tóu yǐ jǐn jǐn zhòu qǐ ， liǎn sè yīn yù 。

虽然与神识还有联系，但林轩的眉头已紧紧皱起，脸色阴郁。

With the dragon's roar, the true spirit puppet rapidly grew larger, emitting dazzling spiritual light that made it impossible to look directly at.

jū rán sī háo zuò yòng yě wú ？

居然丝毫作用也无？

Roar!

suī rán cóng yī kāi shǐ ， lín xuān jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， néng kào zhe zhè xiē dōng xī pò dí ， dàn yě wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng ， huì shì zhè yàng dì 。

虽然从一开始，林轩就没有想过，能靠着这些东西破敌，但也万万不曾想，会是这样地。

The dragon's roar never ceased as a mountain-sized head emerged from the clouds above.

“ āi ！”

“唉！”

Its appearance resembled a true dragon down to the finest detail. Originally crafted in the image of a true dragon, but the strongest true spirit was not easily replicated; its strength fell far short of that of an actual dragon.

lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shì qíng dào le zhè mǎo yī bù ， xīn zhōng nà yuán běn de xiē xǔ yóu yù yě dōu yān xiāo yún sàn diào le 。

林轩叹了口气，事情到了这冇一步，心中那原本的些许犹豫也都烟消云散掉了。

However, its appearance was incredibly lifelike.

xiù páo yī fú ， yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de yù hé fēi lüè ér chū 。

袖袍一拂，一尺许长的玉盒飞掠而出。

Roar!

biǎo miàn shàng kàn bù chū yǒu shén me bù tuǒ ， wéi yǒu hé gài shàng tiē yǒu jìn zhì fú lù 。

表面上看不出有什么不妥，唯有盒盖上贴有禁制符箓。

A thunderous roar filled his ears as the giant dragon opened its blood-red maw. A series of light beams shot out from its mouth, each no thicker than a forearm but in such overwhelming numbers it seemed like raindrops.

lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。

林轩右手抬起，一指向前点去。

The comparison to a heavy downpour was apt, and unlike normal rain, these beams were akin to the fierce winds and sudden showers of legend.

pā dā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fú lù wú fēng zì rán ， hé gài yě bèi shén me lì liàng dàn le qǐ lái ， zhēn líng kuǐ lěi xiǎn xiàn 。

啪嗒一声传入耳朵，符箓无风自燃，盒盖也被什么力量弹了起来，真灵傀儡显现。

Pfft… pfft…

dāng rán ， yī jiù shì shēn cháng cùn xǔ de mí nǐ zhī wù ， suí biàn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù kàn ， dōu méi yǒu rèn hé qǐ yǎn 。

当然，依旧是身长寸许的迷你之物，随便从哪个角度看，都没有任何起眼。

The light beams continuously struck the dark energy. However, they failed to make even the slightest impact.

lín xuān qū zhǐ yī dàn ， sān lì zǎo hé dà xiǎo de jīng shí fú xiàn ér chū ， guāng yùn shǎn shuò ， hóng 、 huáng 、 lán ， sān sè líng guāng biàn huàn tūn tǔ ， yī gǔ shén mì yì cháng de lì liàng pèi rán ér chū 。

林轩屈指一弹，三粒枣核大小的晶石浮现而出，光晕闪烁，红、黄、蓝，三色灵光变幻吞吐，一股神秘异常的力量沛然而出。

That dense mass of dark energy remained unshaken, unaffected by the blows.

suí hòu yě bú jiàn lín xuān yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò ， nà sān méi xiān shí què xùn sù suō xiǎo ， rú mǐ lì yì bān ， xiāng qiàn jìn le zhēn líng kuǐ lěi lǐ miàn 。

随后也不见林轩有多余的动作，那三枚仙石却迅速缩小，如米粒一般，镶嵌进了真灵傀儡里面。

Lin Xuan's expression was truly one of shock.

áng ！

昂！

True spirit puppets were treasures from the Ethereal Immortal Palace, comparable in strength to early-stage Golden Transformation cultivators. Now, unleashing their full power yielded no results.

jù lóng de nù hǒu ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì kě pà de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò 。

巨龙的怒吼，与之伴随的是可怕的灵压从天而落。

Was his opponent this strong?

gěi rén de gǎn jué ， yì diǎn yě bù bǐ pǔ tōng de dù jié qī xùn sè 。

给人的感觉，一点也不比普通的渡劫期逊色。

Despite his astonishment, there was no time for deep contemplation. Lin Xuan's face darkened as a mental probe was sent forward.

zhè kě yǐ shuō ， shì lín xuān zuì hòu de dǐ pái le 。

这可以说，是林轩最后的底牌了。

Sizzle…

wēi néng gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér zhè zhēn líng kuǐ lěi qū dòng de tiáo jiàn yě fēi cháng kē kè ， bì xū yào xiān shí zuò wéi néng yuán cái kě 。

威能固然非同小可，然而这真灵傀儡驱动的条件也非常苛刻，必须要仙石作为能源才可。

The void was torn apart, revealing a massive vortex above him, occupying almost the entire sky. It was bottomless, with lightning dancing silver in its center.

lín xuān shēn shàng xiān shí bù duō ， suǒ yǐ bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ yě bù xiǎng shǐ yòng cǐ wù ， bù guò cǐ shí gù bù dé ， tā yǐ jīng kuài yào shān qióng shuǐ jìn le 。

林轩身上仙石不多，所以不到万不得已也不想使用此物，不过此时顾不得，他已经快要山穷水尽了。

Next, a giant gray claw emerged from within, striking the dark energy. This time, it wasn't useless; that mass of dark energy began to shake violently.

bàn suí zhe lóng hǒu ， nà zhēn líng kuǐ lěi yě xùn sù biàn dà le qǐ lái ， líng guāng yào yǎn yǐ jí ， ràng rén bù gǎn zhí shì 。

伴随着龙吼，那真灵傀儡也迅速变大了起来，灵光耀眼以极，让人不敢直视。

Lin Xuan's heart leapt with joy, but then he saw black flames emerge from inside. At first glance, they seemed unremarkable, but upon contact, the terrifying claw melted away.

áng ！

昂！

"Wha—"

jù lóng de páo xiāo jiù méi yǒu tíng guò ， tóu dǐng de yún céng shàng ， tàn chū yī shān yuè dà xiǎo de tóu lú 。

巨龙的咆哮就没有停过，头顶的云层上，探出一山岳大小的头颅。

Lin Xuan's shock was beyond words.

xíng mào yǔ chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn lóng xiāng sì dào jí chù 。

形貌与传说中的真龙相似到极处。

Just as this happened, the dense mass of dark energy suddenly dispersed to either side, revealing its true form.

cǐ kuǐ lěi yuán běn jiù shì yǐ zhēn lóng wèi yuán xíng zhì zuò ， zhǐ bù guò zuì qiáng de zhēn líng yòu qǐ shì nà me róng yì mó fǎng de ， zuì hòu zhì zuò chū lái ， shí lì què xiāng qù shèn yuǎn 。

此傀儡原本就是以真龙为原型制作，只不过最强的真灵又岂是那么容易模仿的，最后制作出来，实力却相去甚远。

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he stared at his opponent. He couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

bù guò jiù xíng mào lái shuō ， dào zhēn shì wéi miào wéi xiào dào jí chù 。

不过就形貌来说，倒真是惟妙惟肖到极处。

Though not a green-skinned monster with fangs, it confirmed his suspicion: this creature had truly formed a body.

hǒu ！

吼！

Its height was similar to that of ordinary cultivators, well-proportioned and not particularly muscular. However, what caught the eye were the black armor covering its entire body, including its face, which glowed with an eerie red light from beneath the dark metal.

zhèn tiān de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jù mǎo dà de lóng shǒu zhāng kāi le xuè pén dà kǒu ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī dào dào guāng zhù yóu tā de zuǐ bā zhōng sǎn shè mǎo chū lái 。

震天的咆哮传入耳朵，那巨冇大的龙首张开了血盆大口，随后只见灵光一闪，一道道光柱由它的嘴巴中散射冇出来。

But the most astonishing part was yet to come.

nà xiē guāng zhù měi yī dào bù guò ér bì cū ， rán ér shù liàng què duō dào lìng rén fà zhǐ de dì bù 。

那些光柱每一道不过儿臂粗，然而数量却多到令人发指的地步。

A pair of giant black wings sprouted from his back, encircled by a gray-white flame. Though not particularly bright, they shone due to their contrast with the black wings, making them eye-catching.

yòng mì rú yǔ diǎn lái xíng róng háo wú kuā zhāng zhī chù ， ér qiě yì bān de xiǎo yǔ bú huì yǒu nà me mì jí ， jiù fǎng fú shì chuán shuō zhōng de jí fēng zhòu yǔ 。

用密如雨点来形容毫无夸张之处，而且一般的小雨不会有那么密集，就仿佛是传说中的疾风骤雨。

The opponent looked at Lin Xuan and raised its right hand, grabbing something out of thin air. Countless black runes surged forth from its palm, converging into a dark object a dozen feet long. The surface was covered in runes that resembled both a spear and an axe, with a unique shape.
