tiān kōng zhōng fǎ bǎo zòng héng fēi wǔ ， yī dào dào líng guāng chuān kōng ér guò ， bīng pò de chǔ jìng ， shuō xiǎn xiàng huán shēng ， yě bù wèi guò 。
天空中法宝纵横飞舞，一道道灵光穿空而过，冰魄的处境，说险象环生，也不为过。
In the sky,treasureswept through the air, and streaks ofspiritual lightpierced through. The situation for Ice Soul was indeed perilous.
yī páng ， yáng tóng xiān zi zé kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， yǐ wán quán jīng dāi diào le 。
一旁，杨彤仙子则看得瞠目结舌，已完全惊呆掉了。
On one side, Fairy Yang Tong gaped in astonishment, completely stunned.
dān dǎ dú dòu ， zhè lín xiǎo zi jū rán wěn zhàn shàng fēng 。
单打独斗，这林小子居然稳占上风。
Single-handedly, this young man Lin seemed to be gaining the upper hand.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， tā suǒ miàn duì de ， kě shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ 。
有没有搞错，他所面对的，可是真魔始祖。
Was something wrong? He faced True Demon Ancestor. Even an avatar's strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at his level.
jí biàn shì yī jù huà shēn ， shí lì yě yuǎn fēi tóng jiē xiū shì kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
即便是一具化身，实力也远非同阶修士可以比拟的。
What were those—Heavenly Phoenixes, Qilins, and True Dragons...
nà shì shén me ， tiān fèng 、 qí lín ， hái yǒu zhēn lóng ……
那是什么，天凤、麒麟，还有真龙……
Though not true True Spirits, their displayed power still left Fairy Yang Tong in awe.
suī rán bú shì zhēn zhèng de zhēn líng ， rán ér suǒ zhǎn xiàn chū lái de shí lì ， yě ràng yáng tóng zhèn jīng 。
虽然不是真正的真灵，然而所展现出来的实力，也让杨彤震惊。
Then she saw nine-headed birds.
suí hòu ， tā yòu kàn jiàn le yī jiǔ tóu líng qín 。
随后，她又看见了一九头灵禽。
They were lifelike, emitting a more formidable aura than the Heavenly Phoenixes and Qilins. This was no surprise; Lin had coincidentally refined the True Spirit Fire of the Nine-Headed Bird, making its manifestation as a True Spirit even stronger.
xǔ xǔ rú shēng ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā ， gèng shèng guò le tiān fèng qí lín ， zhè bù xī qí ， lín xuān jī yuán qiǎo hé ， kě shì liàn huà le jiǔ tóu niǎo de zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， huàn huà chū lái de cǐ zhǒng zhēn líng wēi lì zì rán gèng qiáng le 。
栩栩如生，所散发出来的威压，更胜过了天凤麒麟，这不稀奇，林轩机缘巧合，可是炼化了九头鸟的真灵之火，幻化出来的此种真灵威力自然更强了。
A loud tearing sound echoed.
cī lā shēng dà zuò 。
刺啦声大做。
Then came a shower of lightning and flames.
suí hòu suǒ kàn jiàn de ， jiù shì màn tiān de léi huǒ 。
随后所看见的，就是漫天的雷火。
The nine-headed bird could drive Lightning and Flame Laws. The spirit birds conjured by the Nine Palace Mustard Sword were not at that level, but their endless bolts of lightning and flames were far from mere decoration.
jiǔ tóu niǎo ， kě yǐ qū dòng léi diàn yǔ huǒ yàn fǎ zé ， yǎn qián yóu jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn huàn huà chū lái de líng qín ， suī rán méi dào rú cǐ chéng dù ， rán ér nà màn tiān de léi diàn yǔ huǒ yàn ， yě jué bù jǐn jǐn shì hǎo kàn de bǎi shè 。
九头鸟，可以驱动雷电与火焰法则，眼前由九宫须臾剑幻化出来的灵禽，虽然没到如此程度，然而那漫天的雷电与火焰，也绝不仅仅是好看的摆设。
Ice Soul was now overwhelmed.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bīng pò yǐ yǒu xiē yìng jiē bù xiá le 。
此时此刻，冰魄已有些应接不暇了。
No, she was in dire straits, enveloped by a barrage of lightning and flames, struggling to keep up.
bù ， shuō láng bèi bù kān dōu bù wèi guò ， cǐ nǚ yǐ bèi yī tuán tuán de léi diàn yǔ huǒ yàn bāo guǒ ， gēn běn jiù shì zài pí yú yìng fù 。
不，说狼狈不堪都不为过，此女已被一团团的雷电与火焰包裹，根本就是在疲于应付。
"Still resisting, Fairy?" Lin asked mockingly as he did not hold back.
“ xiān zi hái bù shù shǒu jiù fù ？”
“仙子还不束手就缚？”
Aside from lightning and flames, sword lights also struck her.
lín xuān zuǐ shàng zhè yàng shuō ， xià shǒu què yì diǎn yě méi yǒu liú lì de yì tú 。
林轩嘴上这样说，下手却一点也没有留力的意图。
Undeniably, such dense attacks were draining his power immensely.
chú le léi diàn yǔ huǒ yàn ， yī dào dào jiàn guāng yě xiàng zhe cǐ nǚ jī shè。
除了雷电与火焰，一道道剑光也像着此女激shè。
But he had exceptional eyesight. This was the decisive moment; one more push might seal the deal. There was no hiding for him in this situation—he would give it his all.
bù kě fǒu rèn ， rú cǐ mì jí de gōng jī ， lín xuān hún shēn de fǎ lì ， xiāo hào tóng yàng shì jù liè wú bǐ 。
不可否认，如此密集的攻击，林轩浑身的法力，消耗同样是剧烈无比。
Ice Soul remained silent. Her situation was indeed dire, but she was far from despairing. She continued to fend off Lin's attacks while searching for any openings until her last breath.
rán ér tā gèng yǒu zhe fēi tóng yī bān de yǎn lì 。
然而他更有着非同一般的眼力。
However, she overlooked one thing—her opponent wasn't just Lin. Fairy Yang Tong had not lost her combat ability despite her injuries.
rú jīn yǐ dào le jué shēng sǐ ， pàn shèng fù de yī kè ， zài jiā yī bǎ lì 。 shuō bù dìng jiù néng bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， lín xuān nǎ yǒu cáng zhe yē zhe de dào lǐ ， kěn dìng shì jié jìn quán lì 。
如今已到了决生死，判胜负的一刻，再加一把力。说不定就能毕其功于一役，这种情况下，林轩哪有藏着掖着的道理，肯定是竭尽全力。
She scanned the surroundings, merely stunned by the spectacle. But she couldn’t remain dazed forever.
bīng pò bù yán bù yǔ ， rú jīn tā de qíng kuàng què rán shì bù miào yǐ jí ， rán ér jù lí jué wàng hái zǎo ， xiǎng yào zì jǐ yǔn luò ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。
冰魄不言不语，如今她的情况确然是不妙以极，然而距离绝望还早，想要自己陨落，哪有那么容易。
After a moment, she regained her composure and waved her jade hand, casting a green light that seemed beautiful but concealed danger within.
tā yī biān láng bèi de yìng fù zhe lín xuān de gōng jī 。 yī biān xún zhǎo zháo kě néng chū xiàn de kòng xì ， bú dào zuì hòu yí kè ， tā jué bú huì fàng qì 。
她一边狼狈的应付着林轩的攻击。一边寻找着可能出现的空隙，不到最后一刻，她绝不会放弃。
While her strength was slightly inferior to Ice Soul's, as an auxiliary, her effect was clear.
rán ér cǐ nǚ sì hū wàng le yì diǎn ， tā de duì shǒu bú shì zhǐ yǒu lín xuān ， yáng tóng xiān zi suǒ shòu de shāng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn bìng méi yǒu shī qù zhàn dòu lì 。
然而此女似乎忘了一点，她的对手不是只有林轩，杨彤仙子所受的伤虽然非同小可，但并没有失去战斗力。
Ice Soul’s situation grew more perilous. Damn it, did I really have to perish here?
cǐ nǚ rú jīn huán shì zài cè 。 zhǐ bù guò shì yīn wèi tài jīng yà le 。
此女如今环视在侧。只不过是因为太惊讶了。
Though just an avatar, Ice Soul was still frustrated!
dàn tā dāng rán bù kě néng yì zhí fā dāi xià qù 。
但她当然不可能一直发呆下去。
What was her status? She was one of the top existences in the Three Realms. As a mere初级 (jīlǐ, meaning "primary" or "beginner") cultivator, she had been pushed into this dire situation by these people.
piàn kè hòu ， cǐ nǚ jiù qīng xǐng guò lái 。 yù shǒu yī fú ， yī piàn cuì lǜ de jīng máng sǎ guò ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn měi lì yǐ jí ， rán ér lǐ miàn què àn cáng shā jī 。
片刻后，此女就清醒过来。玉手一拂，一片翠绿的jīng芒洒过，表面上看美丽以极，然而里面却暗藏杀机。
"Little fellow, do you think you can learn how to leave this lost plane from me? Dream on."
tā de shí lì yǔ lín xuān bīng pò xiāng bǐ ， què shí yào shāo wēi xùn sè nà me yī xiē 。 bù guò cǐ kè zuò wéi fǔ zhù ， xiào guǒ què shí hěn míng xiǎn de 。
她的实力与林轩冰魄相比，确实要稍微逊sè那么一些。不过此刻作为辅助，效果确实很明显的。
Ice Soul's cold voice echoed: "This True Ancestor will sacrifice this avatar and fight to the death with you!"
bīng pò de chǔ jìng yuè fā jiān xiǎn le ， kě wù ， zì jǐ nán dào yào yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ me ？
冰魄的处境越发艰险了，可恶，自己难道要陨落在这里么？
"Not good! The opponent is about to self-destruct!"
suī rán zhǐ shì yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ ， dàn bīng pò xīn zhōng ， yī jiù shì yù mèn yǐ jí ！
虽然只是一具化身而已，但冰魄心中，依旧是郁闷以极！
Fairy Yang Tong was alarmed. She could sense the chaotic primordial energy: "Quick, stop her!"
tā shì shén me shēn fèn 。 fàng yǎn sān jiè ， yě shì zuì dǐng jí de cún zài ， qū qū dù jié chū qī ， bù guò shì xiǎo zú zi ， zì jǐ jū rán bèi tā men bī dào rú cǐ jìng dì 。
她是什么身份。放眼三界，也是最顶级的存在，区区渡劫初期，不过是小卒子，自己居然被他们逼到如此境地。
Her voice was filled with terror, but it was difficult to intervene. Ice Soul’s situation was dire, not at their mercy.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， xiǎng yào cóng wǒ shēn shàng zhī dào rú hé lí kāi zhè shī luò de jiè miàn me 。 nǐ bié zuò mèng le 。”
“小家伙，想要从我身上知道如何离开这失落的界面么。你别做梦了。”
Lin was equally anxious. He hadn’t expected Ice Soul to be so resolute.
bīng pò bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ běn shèng zǔ dà bù liǎo shě le zhè jù huà shēn ， yǔ nǐ yú sǐ wǎng pò ！”
冰魄冰冷的声音传入耳朵：“本圣祖大不了舍了这具化身，与你鱼死网破！”
Fish or cut bait; he had no prepared strategy for this scenario.
“ bù hǎo ， duì fāng yào zì bào ！”
“不好，对方要自爆！”
A blackish aura enveloped Ice Soul and transformed into a deep vortex.
yáng tóng xiān zi dà jīng shī sè， tā yǐ jīng gǎn jué dào hùn luàn de tiān dì yuán qì le ：“ kuài ， kuài zǔ zhǐ tā ！”
杨彤仙子大惊失sè，她已经感觉到混乱的天地元气了：“快，快阻止她！”
Boom!
cǐ nǚ de shēng yīn jīng kǒng wú bǐ ， rán ér shuō shuō róng yì ， bīng pò de chǔ jìng suī rán bù lì ， què bìng méi yǒu dào rèn yóu tā men bǎi bù de jìng dì ， xiǎng yào zǔ zhǐ ， gēn běn jiù shì qiān nán wàn nán dì 。
此女的声音惊恐无比，然而说说容易，冰魄的处境虽然不利，却并没有到任由他们摆布的境地，想要阻止，根本就是千难万难地。
The vortex exploded, sending waves of demonic winds in all directions. The entire void turned gray-white, as if devoured by it.
lín xuān tóng yàng dà jí ， tā yě méi xiǎng dào bīng pò huì guǒ jué dào zhè yàng de jìng dì 。
林轩同样大急，他也没想到冰魄会果决到这样的境地。
"What is this..."
yú sǐ wǎng pò ， zì jǐ duì zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng kě shì quē fá zhǔn bèi lái zhe 。
鱼死网破，自己对这种状况可是缺乏准备来着。
Fairy Yang Tong, who had fled to the distance, was stunned. She had been tricked!
yī tuán yǒu hēi de mó qì ， yǐ jiāng bīng pò bāo guǒ ， suí hòu huà wèi yōu shēn de xuán wō 。
一团黝黑的魔气，已将冰魄包裹，随后化为幽深的漩涡。
Though the explosion’s power was formidable, ripping and swallowing the void, a True Ancestor's self-destruction should have been more powerful.
hōng ！
轰！
In other words, Ice Soul hadn’t intended to perish here.
suí hòu nà xuán wō zhēn de bào le ， yī dào dào mó fēng ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu jī shè， zhěng gè xū kōng ， chè dǐ biàn chéng le huī bái zhī sè， jiù rú tóng bèi tūn shì diào le 。
随后那漩涡真的爆了，一道道魔风，像着四周激shè，整个虚空，彻底变成了灰白之sè，就如同被吞噬掉了。
The fish or cut bait tactic was merely a ruse.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"Lin boy, do you think you can keep me alive today? I will repay your kindness with double tomorrow."
yǐ jīng táo dào yuǎn chù de yáng tóng xiān zi yī dāi ， què yǒu xiē chà rán 。
已经逃到远处的杨彤仙子一呆，却有些诧然。
Silver laughter echoed. There was an undercurrent of malice. Regardless, this battle had ended in her defeat, and she suffered severe injuries. Ice Soul, a proud True Ancestor, could not help but hate Lin deeply.
shàng dàng shòu piàn ！
上当受骗！
"Double the favor, Fairy. Why be so polite? How about you stay today?"
zhè bào zhà de wēi lì suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， néng gòu jiāng xū kōng sī liè tūn mò ， dàn dù jié qī de zì bào ， wēi lì què yīng gāi bǐ zhè dà dé duō 。
这爆炸的威力虽然非同小可，能够将虚空撕裂吞没，但渡劫期的自爆，威力却应该比这大得多。
A loud bang came from beyond the horizon as Lin’s figure vanished. It was just an illusion. Then complex incantations filled her ears, and a sword light appeared.
huàn jù huà shuō ， bīng pò gēn běn jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò 。
换句话说，冰魄根本就没有想过在这里陨落。
The sword light blurred, replaced by a monstrous creature.
gāng cái de yú sǐ wǎng pò bù guò shì mán tiān guò hǎi zhī cè 。
刚才的鱼死网破不过是瞒天过海之策。
It was over six feet tall, shaped like a toad.
“ lín xiǎo zi ， píng nǐ yě xiǎng liú xià běn xiān zi ， jīn rì zhī hòu cì ， gǎi rì， běn gōng yí dìng huì jiā bèi fèng huán de 。”
“林小子，凭你也想留下本仙子，今rì之厚赐，改rì，本宫一定会加倍奉还的。”
Its body was golden.
yín líng bān de xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn què yǐn yǐn hán zhe jǐ fēn yuàn dú ， bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè yī cháng dòu fǎ ， dào dǐ hái shì zì jǐ shū le ， ér qiě shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， gè zhǒng láng bèi ， bīng pò nǎi shì xīn gāo qì ào de zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， zhuī běn sù yuán ， zěn me kě néng bù hèn lín xuān rù gǔ 。
银铃般的笑声传入耳朵，里面却隐隐含着几分怨毒，不管如何，这一场斗法，到底还是自己输了，而且身受重伤，各种狼狈，冰魄乃是心高气傲的真魔始祖，追本溯源，怎么可能不恨林轩入骨。
Though it resembled a true toad in appearance, there were differences. A round pearl the size of a fist, as white as jade, was embedded in its forehead. In the middle of this pearl, a golden dragon’s eye was set.
“ gǎi rì hòu cì ， xiān zi hé bì nà me kè qì ， bù rú jīn tiān qiě liú xià lái rú hé ？”
“改rì厚赐，仙子何必那么客气，不如今天且留下来如何？”
It looked incredibly strange. On its back, along the spine, sharp red spines emerged every few feet, each ending in a hooked tip.
“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán lái ， táo dào tiān biān de lín xuān de shēn yǐng jū rán guǐ yì de xiāo shī bú jiàn ， nà bù guò shì yī huàn yǐng bà le ， suí hòu fán fù shēn ào de zhòu yǔ shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī lǚ jiàn guāng fú xiàn ér chū 。
“嘭”的一声传来，逃到天边的林轩的身影居然诡异的消失不见，那不过是一幻影罢了，随后繁复深奥的咒语声传入耳朵，一缕剑光浮现而出。
True Spirit Golden Jade Toad!
jǐn jiē zhe nà jiàn guāng biàn dé mó hú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī jù dà de guài wù chū xiàn le 。
紧接着那剑光变得模糊，取而代之的是一巨大的怪物出现了。
This was Lin's fourth True Spirit manifestation using the True Spirit Sword Art.
shēn cháng shù zhàng yǒu yú ， xíng rú chán chú de yàng zi 。
身长数丈有余，形如蟾蜍的样子。
Compared to the Heavenly Phoenix and True Dragon, this Golden Jade Toad was even more lifelike. Not only did it resemble the true spirit, but its aura also matched it closely.
hún shēn zé zuò chì jīn sè。
浑身则做赤金sè。
This wasn’t surprising; Lin had refined the True Spirit of the Golden Jade Toad’s essence source and now at a Transcendence stage, making such a manifestation incredibly vivid.
suī rán yī yǎn wàng qù ， jiù xíng mào lái shuō ， yǔ zhēn zhèng de chán chú ， dá dào le jiǔ chéng xiāng sì ， dàn yī xiē qū bié hái shì yǒu dì 。
虽然一眼望去，就形貌来说，与真正的蟾蜍，达到了九成相似，但一些区别还是有地。
It could unleash about half the power of a True Spirit Golden Jade Toad—around fifty percent.
shǒu xiān zài tā de méi yǔ jiān ， yǒu yì zhí jìng chǐ xǔ de yuán zhū ， yíng bái rú yù ， piān piān zài cǐ rú tóng yù pán bān de yuán zhū zhōng jiān ， yòu yǒu yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de jīn sè zhū zi xiāng qiàn zài nà lǐ 。
首先在它的眉宇间，有一直径尺许的圆珠，莹白如玉，偏偏在此如同玉盘般的圆珠中间，又有一龙眼大小的金sè珠子镶嵌在那里。
"Goo!" A loud sound echoed. The Golden Jade Toad seemed to move. It appeared as if it opened its mouth, then space blurred. A long, rope-like object sliced through the sky.
kàn shàng qù guǐ yì yǐ jí 。 ér zài tā bèi shàng ， yán zhe jí zhù de fāng xiàng ， zé měi gé zhàng xǔ ， jiù shēng yǒu yī gēn huǒ hóng sè de jiān cì 。 zài zhè xiē gǔ cì de mò duān ， hái wān qū chéng yǒu dào gōu de yàng zi 。
看上去诡异以极。而在它背上，沿着脊柱的方向，则每隔丈许，就生有一根火红sè的尖刺。在这些骨刺的末端，还弯曲成有倒钩的样子。
No, that wasn’t a rope; it was the Golden Jade Toad’s tongue. As it extended and retracted, it grew to over a thousand feet, like a sword, plunging into the gray-white void.
jīn yuè zhēn chán ！
金玥真蟾！
A toad's tongue—though its action resembled a common frog catching insects, its power was incomparable. Its strike contained Law Power. A scream echoed as Ice Soul, who thought she had escaped, was tightly ensnared.
In the sky,treasureswept through the air, and streaks ofspiritual lightpierced through. The situation for Ice Soul was indeed perilous.
On one side, Fairy Yang Tong gaped in astonishment, completely stunned.
Single-handedly, this young man Lin seemed to be gaining the upper hand.

Ice Soul was now overwhelmed.
No, she was in dire straits, enveloped by a barrage of lightning and flames, struggling to keep up.
"Still resisting, Fairy?" Lin asked mockingly as he did not hold back.
Aside from lightning and flames, sword lights also struck her.
Undeniably, such dense attacks were draining his power immensely.
But he had exceptional eyesight. This was the decisive moment; one more push might seal the deal. There was no hiding for him in this situation—he would give it his all.
