lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， què sī háo méi yǒu xiǎn biàn de yì tú ， yǎn kàn liǎng rén de gōng jī jiù yào zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， tā shǒu yī dǒu ， wǔ sè líng máng shǎn guò ， huàn líng tiān huǒ fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，却丝毫没有显辩的意图，眼看两人的攻击就要撞在一起，他手一抖，五色灵芒闪过，幻灵天火浮现而出。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but he showed no signs of retreating. As the attacks from the two individuals were about to collide, his hand twitched, and a flash of five-colored spiritual light appeared, revealing the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
yào yǎn duó mù ， biǎo miàn yǐn yǐn hái yǒu yī céng céng shén mì de wén zhèn xuán zhuǎn tūn tǔ 。
耀眼夺目，表面隐隐还有一层层神秘的纹阵旋转吞吐。
The light was dazzling, with layers of mysterious patterns rotating and pulsating on its surface.
liàn huà le hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， huàn líng tiān huǒ de wēi lì ， zì rán yòu zēng zhǎng le xǔ duō ， jiū jìng dào shén me dì bù ， lín xuān yě nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， zǒng zhī ， jiù suàn yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xiāng bǐ ， shuí qiáng shuí ruò ， yě bù tài hǎo shuō 。
炼化了混沌太阴之气，幻灵天火的威力，自然又增长了许多，究竟到什么地步，林轩也难以说得清楚，总之，就算与九宫须臾剑相比，谁强谁弱，也不太好说。
Having refined the chaotic primordial yin energy, the power of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire had naturally increased. Lin Xuan could not clearly determine how far it had progressed, but compared to the Nine Palace Momentary Sword, it was difficult to say who was stronger.
lín xuān zhè shí hòu shī zhǎn chū lái ， gèng yǒu tōu xí de xiào guǒ ， duì fāng fā xiàn yǐ hòu ， xiǎng biàn zhāo yǐ shì lái bù jí le 。
林轩这时候施展出来，更有偷袭的效果，对方发现以后，想变招已是来不及了。
Lin Xuan's use of this technique now added a stealthy element. By the time his opponent realized what was happening, it would be too late for them to change their tactics.
yù wài tiān mó yòu jīng yòu nù ， zhè cái míng bái zì jǐ zài bù jīng yì jiān ， yòu zhuì rù lín xuān bù xià de quān tào le 。
域外天魔又惊又怒，这才明白自己在不经意间，又坠入林轩布下的圈套了。
The域外天魔 (Exterior Heaven Demon) was both shocked and enraged, realizing he had once again fallen into Lin Xuan's trap without even noticing.
bù guò tā suī rán jīng nù ， dàn yào shuō hài pà ， zé wèi zhī guò zǎo 。
不过他虽然惊怒，但要说害怕，则为之过早。
However, while he was alarmed, fear was premature. After all, the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire hadn't yet made contact; although it appeared formidable, he still lacked a clear understanding of its true power.
bì jìng huàn líng tiān huǒ shàng wèi jiē chù ， kàn zhe suī shì bù sú ， dàn jiū jìng dào le yí gè shén me yàng de dì bù ， tā hái méi yǒu zhí guān de rèn shí lái zhe 。
毕竟幻灵天火尚未接触，看着虽是不俗，但究竟到了一个什么样的地步，他还没有直观的认识来着。
Was this an attempt to ambush him?
xiǎng yào tōu xí zì jǐ ？
想要偷袭自己？
Then let this demon sovereign give you a surprise.
nà běn mó zūn jiù gěi nǐ yí gè jīng xǐ 。
那本魔尊就给你一个惊喜。
A sinister expression flashed across the域外天魔's eyes. Given his bold and combative nature, he would never admit defeat until the very last moment.
yù wài tiān mó de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī zhēng níng zhī sè ， yǐ zhè jiā huo hào yǒng dòu hěn de xìng gé ， bú dào zuì hòu yí kè ， jué bú huì rèn shū 。
域外天魔的眼中闪过一丝狰狞之色，以这家伙好勇斗狠的性格，不到最后一刻，绝不会认输。
He flicked his hand, emitting concentric circles of black ripples from his palm.
zhǐ jiàn tā shǒu yī dǒu ， yī quān yī quān de hēi sè bō wén yóu zhǎng xīn zhōng mí sàn ér chū 。
只见他手一抖，一圈一圈的黑色波纹由掌心中弥散而出。
The air was shattered wherever these ripples passed.
suǒ guò zhī chù ， xū kōng dōu bèi zhèn sàn diào le 。
所过之处，虚空都被震散掉了。
Lin Xuan had never seen this technique before, but it seemed to be similar to Sound Wave Skill.
cǐ shén tōng lín xuān bù céng jiàn guò ， dàn xiǎn rán yǔ yīn bō gōng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
此神通林轩不曾见过，但显然与音波功相差仿佛。
However, its power far exceeded that of ordinary sound waves. Such a devastating impact would not have been possible with mere sound waves.
bù guò wēi lì jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ ， pǔ tōng de yīn bō gōng nǎ yǒu zhè yàng hàn tiān dòng dì de wēi lì 。
不过威力就不可同日而语，普通的音波功哪有这样撼天动地的威力。
If used suddenly, Lin Xuan might struggle to handle it.
ruò shì zhòu rán shǐ chū ， lín xuān hái zhēn bù hǎo yìng fù 。
若是骤然使出，林轩还真不好应付。
But now, he was unconcerned. A slight smile played on his lips, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
bù guò cǐ kè ， tā què háo bù zài hū ， zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi yáng qǐ ， yǎn móu jiān shèn zhì hái tòu chū jǐ fēn jī cháo zhī yì 。
不过此刻，他却毫不在乎，嘴角微微扬起，眼眸间甚至还透出几分讥嘲之意。
The域外天魔 clearly saw this scene, feeling greatly surprised. He had immense confidence in his demonic skills, but was the young man merely posturing?
zhè yí mù ， yù wài tiān mó zì rán yě kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， xīn zhōng shì dà gǎn jīng è ， duì yú zì jǐ de mó gōng tā xìn xīn shí zú ， yǎn qián de xiǎo jiā huo ， shì zài xū zhāng shēng shì me ？
这一幕，域外天魔自然也看得清清楚楚，心中是大感惊愕，对于自己的魔功他信心十足，眼前的小家伙，是在虚张声势么？
There was no time to contemplate or change tactics now.
bù guò cǐ kè yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù chuǎi mó , gèng lái bù jí biàn zhāo shén me 。
不过此刻已没有时间去揣摩,更来不及变招什么。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A loud explosion filled the air.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一声巨响传入耳朵。
Before their fists and palms could touch, the strange black ripples collided with the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
liǎng rén de quán zhǎng shàng wèi xiāng chù ， nà gǔ guài de hēi sè bō wén yǔ huàn líng tiān huǒ yǐ è hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ le 。
两人的拳掌尚未相触，那古怪的黑色波纹与幻灵天火已恶狠狠的撞在一起了。
Five-colored crystal light enveloped them.
wǔ sè liú lí 。
五色琉璃。
The black ripples seemed to crumble upon contact. However, this time, the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire clearly had the upper hand.
xuàn mù dì líng guāng xùn sù jiāng hēi sè de bō wén bāo guǒ ， shuō yī chù jí kuì yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn zhè yī cì ， huàn líng tiān huǒ xiǎn rán shì dà zhàn shàng fēng de 。
炫目的灵光迅速将黑色的波纹包裹，说一触即溃有些太过，但这一次，幻灵天火显然是大占上风的。
"Bad luck!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
The域外天魔 was alarmed. This spiritual fire's power was astonishingly formidable!
yù wài tiān mó dà jīng shī sè ， zhè yī cì ， zhōng yú lún dào tā liǎn sè dà biàn le 。
域外天魔大惊失色，这一次，终于轮到他脸色大变了。
This thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but he did not know that his nightmare was only just beginning.
zhè shì shén me líng huǒ ， wēi lì jū rán biāo hàn dào rú cǐ dì bù ？
这是什么灵火，威力居然彪悍到如此地步？
Sizzle…
zhè ge niàn tou rú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， rán ér tā bìng bù xiǎo de , è mèng bù guò cái kāi shǐ bà le 。
这个念头如电光火石般在脑海中转过，然而他并不晓得,噩梦不过才开始罢了。
The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire shifted slightly, emitting layers of silver patterns from within.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The entire process was swift and complex, taking mere moments. With such close proximity, the域外天魔 would have no time to dodge even if he had immense abilities.
huàn líng tiān huǒ lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， yī céng céng de yín wén yóu lǐ miàn pēn tǔ 。
幻灵天火略一转折，一层层的银纹由里面喷吐。
The temperature dropped dramatically. No… it was the surrounding space that had been frozen by this terrifying extreme cold.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ juān luò ， shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shì xū yú de gōng fu ， zhè me jìn de jù lí ， nà yù wài tiān mó jiù suàn yǒu tiān dà de běn shì ， yě gēn běn lái bù jí duǒ 。
整个过程兔起鹃落，说来繁复，其实不过是须臾的功夫，这么近的距离，那域外天魔就算有天大的本事，也根本来不及躲。
Cosmic Law!
wēn dù zhòu rán jiàng dī ， bú duì ……， gēn běn jiù shì fù jìn de xū kōng , yǐ bèi nà kě pà de jí hán gěi dòng zhù 。
温度骤然降低，不对……，根本就是附近的虚空,已被那可怕的极寒给冻住。
Despite being a formidable entity, the域外天魔 sensed the波动 of cosmic power in that instant.
tiān dì fǎ zé ！
天地法则！
"Damn!"
yù wài tiān mó bì jìng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suī rán biàn qǐ cāng cù ， dàn zài nà yī shùn jiān de gōng fu tā yǐ gǎn dào dào fǎ zé zhī lì de bō dòng le 。
域外天魔毕竟非同小可，虽然变起仓促，但在那一瞬间的功夫他已感到到法则之力的波动了。
He was both shocked and enraged. This young man was far more cunning than he imagined. The seemingly insignificant spiritual fire could actually command cosmic laws.
kě wù ！
可恶！
Is this a mistake?
tā yòu jīng yòu nù ， zhè xiǎo zi bǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， yào jiǎo huá dé duō , zhè kàn shì bù qǐ yǎn de líng huǒ ， jū rán néng gòu jià yù tiān dì fǎ zé 。
他又惊又怒，这小子比想象的，要狡猾得多,这看似不起眼的灵火，居然能够驾驭天地法则。
While it was true that some beings at the Tribulation Transcending Stage possessed such abilities, this guy was clearly an early-stage existence. How could he possibly control such power?
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ！
有没有搞错！
His shock and anger were mixed with doubt. But there was no time to think now.
suī rán dù jié qī cún zài què shí yǒu zhè zhǒng běn lǐng méi cuò 。
虽然渡劫期存在确实有这种本领没错。
Sizzle…
dàn yǎn qián zhè jiā huo míng míng zhǐ shì chū qī de cún zài bà le ， néng chù mō jiù bù cuò , zěn me kě néng zuò dào jià yù de chéng dù ne ？
但眼前这家伙明明只是初期的存在罢了，能触摸就不错,怎么可能做到驾驭的程度呢？
The sound of silver light entered his ears.
jīng nù zhī yú ， tā yòu yǒu xiē yí huò ， dàn xiàn zài yǐ méi yǒu shí jiān qù sī kǎo le 。
惊怒之余，他又有些疑惑，但现在已没有时间去思考了。
Although he had done his best to avoid the crisis, full retreat was impossible.
cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
刺啦声传入耳朵。
He stomped his foot, and a series of demonic shadows flashed before him. Thunderous sounds echoed as he appeared several dozen feet away.
suī rán tā yǐ jié jìn quán lì yào jiāng yǎn qián de wēi jī dù guò ， rán ér xiǎng yào quán shēn ér tuì shì bù kě néng de 。
虽然他已竭尽全力要将眼前的危机度过，然而想要全身而退是不可能的。
"I really wanted to praise you for doing well, but half your body is now frozen. What do you plan to do next?"
zhǐ jiàn tā yī duò zú ， yī lián chuàn de mó yǐng shǎn guò ， pī lì shēng zhōng ， tā yǐ chū xiàn zài shù shí zhàng kāi wài le 。
只见他一跺足，一连串的魔影闪过，霹雳声中，他已出现在数十丈开外了。
The域外天魔 had escaped the range of the extreme cold, yet Lin Xuan showed no sign of disappointment. The previous attack was a combination of wit and strength, failing to decisively defeat his opponent, but he wasn't completely unscathed either.
“ hěn xiǎng biǎo yáng nǐ zuò dé bù cuò ， rán ér hái shì yǒu bàn biān shēn tǐ bèi dòng jiāng diào le ， jiē xià lái nǐ dǎ suàn zěn me bàn ne ？”
“很想表扬你做得不错，然而还是有半边身体被冻僵掉了，接下来你打算怎么办呢？”
Half his body frozen meant losing an arm or leg, even worse, his entire body's meridians were damaged. Whether his power could flow freely was uncertain. Lin Xuan wondered what resources this guy had left to fight him under such unfavorable conditions.
duì fāng cóng jí hán fǎ zé lǒng zhào de fàn wéi táo guò ， rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng què sī háo jǔ sàng zhī yì yě wú , dān cái nà yī xià tōu xí ， dòu zhì jiān dòu lì ， suī rán méi yǒu qǐ dào kè dí zhì shèng de xiào guǒ ， dàn duì fāng yě bìng fēi quán shēn ér tuì le 。
对方从极寒法则笼罩的范围逃过，然而林轩脸上却丝毫沮丧之意也无,丹才那一下偷袭，斗智兼斗力，虽然没有起到克敌制胜的效果，但对方也并非全身而退了。
While declaring the outcome as decided might be too strong, it would indeed be a long shot for the opponent to turn things around.
bàn biān shēn tǐ dōu bèi dòng zhù , děng yú shī qù le yī shǒu yī zú ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， jié guǒ hái yào zāo gāo dé duō ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， tā hún shēn jīng mài shòu sǔn de qíng kuàng ， kěn dìng yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， fǎ lì néng fǒu yùn zhuàn rú yì dōu shì liǎng shuō ， lín xuān dào xiǎng kàn kàn ， rú cǐ bù lì de qíng kuàng xià ， tā hái yǒu shén me běn qián ， yǔ zì jǐ dǎ xià qù ne ？
半边身体都被冻住,等于失去了一手一足，甚至可以说，结果还要糟糕得多，这种情况下，他浑身经脉受损的情况，肯定也是非同小可，法力能否运转如意都是两说，林轩倒想看看，如此不利的情况下，他还有什么本钱，与自己打下去呢？
"Admit defeat. If you surrender, I can spare you much suffering. Answer my questions obediently, and I will give you a swift death."
shuō shèng fù yǐ dìng yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn duì fāng xiǎng yào fǎn bài wéi shèng ， què shí yǔ tiān fāng yè tán chà bu duō 。
说胜负已定有些太过，但对方想要反败为胜，确实与天方夜谭差不多。
Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed in his ears.
“ rèn shū ba ， ruò nǐ shù shǒu jiù fù ， kě yǐ shǎo shòu xǔ duō kǔ chǔ ， guāi guāi huí dá lín mǒu de wèn tí ， gěi nǐ yí gè tòng kuài ， yě bú shì bù kě yǐ 。”
“认输吧，若你束手就缚，可以少受许多苦楚，乖乖回答林某的问题，给你一个痛快，也不是不可以。”
"You brat, don't get too cocky. Do you think…"
lín xuān shèng quàn zài wò ， lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩胜券在握，冷冷的声音传入耳朵。
Given the域外天魔's ferocious and combative nature, he would never easily admit defeat. Lin Xuan's arrogant expression only made him even more agitated. Just as he was about to retort, his voice suddenly stopped.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， bú yào tài dé yì le ， nǐ yǐ wéi zì jǐ ……”
“小家伙，不要太得意了，你以为自己……”
Silver light flashed around his neck before his head fell off.
yǐ yù wài tiān mó xiōng cán hào dòu de xìng gé ， yòu zěn me kě néng qīng yì shù shǒu rèn fù ， hé kuàng lín xuān nà fù xiāo zhāng de biǎo qíng ， gèng ràng tā bù shuǎng dào le jí chù ， zhèng xiǎng yào fǎn chún xiāng jī ， huà shuō dào zhè lǐ ， shēng yīn què gā rán ér zhǐ 。
以域外天魔凶残好斗的性格，又怎么可能轻易束手认负，何况林轩那副嚣张的表情，更让他不爽到了极处，正想要反唇相讥，话说到这里，声音却嘎然而止。
The spiritual light revealed a luminous divine sword.
zhǐ jiàn yín guāng yī shǎn ， wéi zhe tā de bó zi rào le yí gè quān ， suí hòu tā de tóu lú ， jiù zhè yàng diào le xià lái 。
只见银光一闪，围着他的脖子绕了一个圈，随后他的头颅，就这样掉了下来。
"Idiot, do you really think I have the time or mood for idle chatter!"
suí hòu nà líng guāng zhú jiàn xiǎn xiàn ， què shì yī bǐng líng guāng yào mù de xiān jiàn 。
随后那灵光逐渐显现，却是一柄灵光耀目的仙剑。
Lin Xuan's satisfied voice echoed in his ears. At this moment, he truly showed relief on his face.
“ shǎ guā ， nǐ yǐ wéi lín mǒu zhēn yǒu xīn qíng péi nǐ zài zhè ér fèi huà ！”
“傻瓜，你以为林某真有心情陪你在这儿废话！”
Given Lin Xuan's character, there was no way he would waste time arguing when the outcome was uncertain. His show of bravado was merely to draw attention.
lín xuān zhì dé yì mǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de liǎn shàng cái zhēn zhèng lù chū rú shì zhòng fù zhī sè 。
林轩志得意满的声音传入耳朵，此时此刻，他的脸上才真正露出如释重负之色。
The域外天魔 indeed fell into another trap, deceived by Lin Xuan's expression and ambushed with a stealthy divine sword.
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， yòu zěn me kě néng zài shèng fù wèi fēn de qíng kuàng xià yǔ duì fāng luō suo ， tā zhī suǒ yǐ biǎo xiàn dé zhāng yáng bá hù bù guò shì wèi le xī yǐn duì fāng de zhù yì bà le 。
以林轩的性格，又怎么可能在胜负未分的情况下与对方啰嗦，他之所以表现得张扬跋扈不过是为了吸引对方的注意罢了。
Lin Xuan had reached a level of proficiency in turning swords into threads. Not only did this enhance his法宝 (treasured artifacts)’s power, but it also provided concealment during ambushes.
jié guǒ yù wài tiān mó guǒ rán yòu yī cì tà rù le xiàn jǐng lǐ ， bèi lín xuān de biǎo qíng mí huò ， yī bù liú shén jiù bèi tōu xí de xiān jiàn qǔ xià le tóu lú 。
结果域外天魔果然又一次踏入了陷阱里，被林轩的表情迷惑，一不留神就被偷袭的仙剑取下了头颅。
"You…"
huà jiàn wèi sī ， lín xuān yǐ dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù ， bù jǐn néng gòu ràng fǎ bǎo de wēi lì tí shēng xǔ duō ， zài tōu xí de shí hòu ， yī yàng yǒu yǐn bì de xiào guǒ 。
化剑为丝，林轩已到炉火纯青的地步，不仅能够让法宝的威力提升许多，在偷袭的时候，一样有隐蔽的效果。
The域外天魔's eyes were filled with hatred, but regret was useless now.
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and the spiritual light enveloped the remains of the domain demon. He would not give him any chance to turn things around.
yù wài tiān mó de yǎn zhōng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， rán ér shì dào rú jīn hòu huǐ yǐ shì méi yǒu le yòng chǔ 。
域外天魔的眼中满是怨毒，然而事到如今后悔已是没有了用处。
Despite Lin Xuan’s swift actions, a loud explosion echoed in his ears as the域外天魔 self-destructed.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào líng guāng shǎn guò ， qīng méng méng de huǒ yàn yǐ jiāng tā de cán shī bāo guǒ ， lín xuān shì bú huì gěi tā rèn hé yì diǎn fān pán jī huì de 。
只见林轩袖袍一拂，一道灵光闪过，青蒙蒙的火焰已将他的残尸包裹，林轩是不会给他任何一点翻盘机会的。
The hairless cultivator's body had turned into nothingness, but a deep black aura emerged and transformed into a ghost face, lunging at Lin Xuan.
lín xuān de dòng zuò bù kě wèi bù xùn sù ， rán ér “ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duì fāng què zì jǐ zì bào diào le 。
林轩的动作不可为不迅速，然而“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，对方却自己自爆掉了。
Possession!
pī fà xiū shì de shēn tǐ sì huà wèi xū wú ， kě yī dào yōu shēn de hēi qì què fú xiàn ér chū ， huà wèi yí gè guǐ liǎn ， xiàng zhe lín xuān hěn hěn yī pū 。
披发修士的身体巳化为虚无，可一道幽深的黑气却浮现而出，化为一个鬼脸，向着林轩狠狠一扑。
The域外天魔 did not perish. He still attempted to reverse his defeat by吞噬 (swallow) Lin Xuan’s soul.
duó shě ！
夺舍！
This was indeed a bold choice, with uncertain success rates given the current situation.
yù wài tiān mó bìng wèi yǔn luò ， jū rán hái xiǎng fǎn bài wéi shèng jiāng lín xuān de hún pò yě gěi tūn shì diào le 。
域外天魔并未陨落，居然还想反败为胜将林轩的魂魄也给吞噬掉了。
Lin Xuan had just achieved complete victory and was at his most vigilant moment. A miscalculation could result in his downfall.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but he showed no signs of retreating. As the attacks from the two individuals were about to collide, his hand twitched, and a flash of five-colored spiritual light appeared, revealing the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
The light was dazzling, with layers of mysterious patterns rotating and pulsating on its surface.
Having refined the chaotic primordial yin energy, the power of the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire had naturally increased. Lin Xuan could not clearly determine how far it had progressed, but compared to the Nine Palace Momentary Sword, it was difficult to say who was stronger.
Lin Xuan's use of this technique now added a stealthy element. By the time his opponent realized what was happening, it would be too late for them to change their tactics.
"Damn!"
The域外天魔 (Exterior Heaven Demon) was both shocked and enraged, realizing he had once again fallen into Lin Xuan's trap without even noticing.
However, while he was alarmed, fear was premature. After all, the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire hadn't yet made contact; although it appeared formidable, he still lacked a clear understanding of its true power.
Was this an attempt to ambush him?

The域外天魔 was alarmed. This spiritual fire's power was astonishingly formidable!

The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire shifted slightly, emitting layers of silver patterns from within.
The entire process was swift and complex, taking mere moments. With such close proximity, the域外天魔 would have no time to dodge even if he had immense abilities.
The temperature dropped dramatically. No… it was the surrounding space that had been frozen by this terrifying extreme cold.

The域外天魔's eyes were filled with hatred, but regret was useless now.
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and the spiritual light enveloped the remains of the domain demon. He would not give him any chance to turn things around.
Despite Lin Xuan’s swift actions, a loud explosion echoed in his ears as the域外天魔 self-destructed.
The hairless cultivator's body had turned into nothingness, but a deep black aura emerged and transformed into a ghost face, lunging at Lin Xuan.
Possession!
The域外天魔 did not perish. He still attempted to reverse his defeat by吞噬 (swallow) Lin Xuan’s soul.
This was indeed a bold choice, with uncertain success rates given the current situation.
Lin Xuan had just achieved complete victory and was at his most vigilant moment. A miscalculation could result in his downfall.
