， zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
，这怎么可能呢？
How could this be possible?
，
，
Lin Xuan almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
lín xuān jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ de yǎn jīng kàn cuò 。
林轩几乎以为自己的眼睛看错。
After all, spirit energy and demonic qi had completely different attributes. They should even be in opposition to each other, so how could they possibly transform into one another? It was like water and fire; they shouldn't naturally coexist.
yào zhī dào líng lì mó qì ， shǔ xìng nà shì wán quán bù tóng ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō xiāng shēng xiāng kè ， zěn me kě néng hù xiāng zhuǎn huà ne ？ jiù fǎng fú shuǐ yǔ huǒ ， yuán běn jiù yīng gāi shì bù xiāng róng de 。
要知道灵力魔气，属性那是完全不同，甚至可以说相生相克，怎么可能互相转化呢？就仿佛水与火，原本就应该是不相容的。
Lin Xuan was still in shock. However, he didn't have time to ponder it further. The spirit energy in the world had not only transformed into demonic qi but also become extremely refined, vaguely resembling the true demonic auras controlled by several primal demons such as the True Ice-Spirit Snake and others.
lín xuān chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è 。 bù guò cǐ kè bā méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā xì xì sī liáng shén me 。
林轩除了惊愕还是惊愕。不过此刻巴没有时间给他细细思量什么。
Lin Xuan's expression changed. He couldn't afford to dwell on his thoughts any longer. With a wave of his sleeves, silver light burst forth, and the Nine Palaces Needle Sword emerged from his sleeve like a whirlwind, striking towards the opponent with the force of a tempest.
tiān dì jiān de líng lì ， bù zhǐ zhuǎn huà chéng le mó qì ， ér qiě jīng chún yǐ jí ， yǐn yǐn yǔ bǎo shé bīng pò děng jǐ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， qū shǐ de zhēn mó qì yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
天地间的灵力，不止转化成了魔气，而且精纯以极，隐隐与宝蛇冰魄等几位真魔始祖，驱使的真魔气有几分相似。
Regardless of what the other party intended, Lin Xuan was determined to use all his strength to eliminate him here.
lín xuān de liǎn sè biàn le ， gù bù shàng zài qù sī suǒ ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， yín guāng sì shè ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yóu tā de yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì fāng zǎn cì ér qù 。
林轩的脸色变了，顾不上再去思索，只见他袖袍一拂，银光四射，九宫须臾剑由他的衣袖中鱼游而出，如疾风骤雨，像着对方攒刺而去。
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded. As the Nine Palaces Needle Sword approached, a wave oflaw or principlepower emanated from the other party's body, sweeping across the void with immense power.
bù guǎn duì fāng yǒu shén me mù dì ， lín xuān sì dǎ suàn jìn quán lì jiāng tā miè shā zài zhè lǐ 。
不管对方有什么目的，林轩巳打算尽全力将他灭杀在这里。
"Wha—"
rán ér bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
然而不可思议的一幕出现了。
Lin Xuan was shocked, but it was too late for the Nine Palaces Needle Sword to dodge. It was pushed around by this force and ended up in disarray.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn bā fēi dào le jìn chù ， yī gǔ fǎ zé zhī lì què yóu duì fāng shēn shàng mí sàn ér chū ， qì shì páng bó ， zài xū kōng zhōng héng sǎo ér guò 。
九宫须臾剑巴飞到了近处，一股法则之力却由对方身上弥散而出，气势磅礴，在虚空中横扫而过。
The opponent, on the other hand, was enveloped by dark demonic qi, forming a light barrier about ten feet wide.
“ zhè ……，”
“这……，”
Lin Xuan wasn't easily discouraged. The more bizarre the abilities of the opponent were, the more he realized he was facing a severe threat. He couldn't afford any complacency.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn què bā lái bù jí duǒ ， zài zhè gǔ fǎ zé zhī lì xià ， bèi chōng dé dōng dǎo xī wāi le 。
林轩大惊失色，九宫须臾剑却巴来不及躲，在这股法则之力下，被冲得东倒西歪了。
With another wave of his sleeves, the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire appeared.
ér duì fāng ， zé bèi yǒu hēi mó qì suǒ bāo guǒ ， bìng xíng chéng le yì zhí jìng shí zhàng yú de guāng mù 。
而对方，则被黝黑魔气所包裹，并形成了一直径十丈余的光幕。
The Nine Palaces Needle Sword adjusted its stance and shot forward like a tempest.
lín xuān zì rán bú shì qīng yì qì něi de rén wù 。
林轩自然不是轻易气馁的人物。
Knowing his own abilities best, combining extreme coldlaw or principle with his innate treasure, even an old monster at mid-transcendence stage wouldn't dare to directly confront him.
ér qiě cǐ kè duì fāng biǎo xiàn chū de shén tōng yuè guǐ yì ， yuè shì zhèng míng zì jǐ zhèng miàn lín zhe shí fēn yán zhòng de wēi jī ， tā nǎ ér gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiè dài zhī yì 。
而且此刻对方表现出的神通越诡异，越是证明自己正面临着十分严重的危机，他哪儿敢有分毫懈怠之意。
Lin Xuan had no intention of holding back. He even said he was using his bottom-most skills.
xiù páo yī fú ， huàn líng tiān huǒ fú xiàn ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，幻灵天火浮现而出。
The entire process unfolded quickly. In the next moment, silver light shone brightly as the Nine Palaces Needle Sword struck the black barrier with all its might.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě tiáo zhěng hǎo zī tài ， rú kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ bān cháo qián jī shè 。
九宫须臾剑也调整好姿态，如狂风骤雨般朝前激射。
However, it failed to produce any effect. His exceptionally sharp innate treasure was easily repelled.
zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， jí hán fǎ zé jiā běn mìng bǎo wù ， jiù suàn shì dù jié zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù yíng miàn zhuàng shàng ， yě bù yuàn yì zhí yīng qí fēng de 。
自己的神通自己最清楚，极寒法则加本命宝物，就算是渡劫中期的老怪物迎面撞上，也不愿意直缨其锋的。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath but didn't lose heart. A clear sound echoed in his ears, and the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire transformed into a phoenix about a foot long.
lín xuān jǐ méi yǒu rèn hé cáng zhuō ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， shī zhǎn chū le yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu 。
林轩己没有任何藏拙，甚至可以说，施展出了压箱底的功夫。
But it was ice-cold and transparent, precisely the Ice Phoenix clan as legend had it.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ què luò ， xià yī kè ， yín guāng dà zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jǐ hěn hěn de pī kǎn zài nà hēi sè de guāng mù shàng le 。
整个过程兔起鹊落，下一刻，银光大做，九宫须臾剑己狠狠的劈砍在那黑色的光幕上了。
With a flap of its wings, it drove the extreme coldlaw or principle forward and collided with the barrier.
rán ér méi yǒu fēn háo xiào guǒ ， zì jǐ fēng ruì yì cháng de běn mìng bǎo wù ， jìng bèi qīng yì de yī dàn ér kāi diào le 。
然而没有分毫效果，自己锋锐异常的本命宝物，竟被轻易的一弹而开掉了。
Sizzle…
lín xuān dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， què bìng bù qì něi ， jǐn jiē zhe ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yí gè zhuǎn zhé ， yǐ huà wèi le yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de fèng huáng 。
林轩倒吸了一口凉气，却并不气馁，紧接着，清鸣声传入耳朵，幻灵天火一个转折，已化为了一尺许长的凤凰。
The temperature in the void plummeted suddenly, turning it into an icy world. No, more accurately, it was much colder than ice itself.
rán ér què bīng diāo yù zuó ， zhěng gè shēn tǐ dōu shì bàn tòu míng de ， zhèng shì chuán shuō zhōng de bīng fèng yī zú 。
然而却冰雕玉琢，整个身体都是半透明的，正是传说中的冰凤一族。
The extreme coldlaw or principle indeed proved formidable. With each sizzle, blue ice layers rapidly spread over the entire protective barrier.
chì bǎng yī shàn ， qū dòng jí hán fǎ zé ， hěn hěn de zhuàng shàng qù le 。
翅膀一扇，驱动极寒法则，狠狠的撞上去了。
"Got it."
cī lā …
刺啦…
Lin Xuan was elated. He shot a sword of light at the barrier.
zhěng gè xū kōng de wēn dù zhòu rán jiàng dī ， fǎng fú huà wèi le bīng xuě shì jiè ， bù …… zhèng què de shuō ， wēn dù bǐ zhěng gè hái yào dī dé duō 。
整个虚空的温度骤然降低，仿佛化为了冰雪世界，不……正确的说，温度比整个还要低得多。
Crackling sounds filled his ears as crystalline ice shards flew everywhere.
jí hán fǎ zé guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suí zhe cī lā shēng bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lán sè bīng céng shùn jiān màn yán kāi lái ， jiāng zhěng gè hù zhào bāo guǒ le qǐ lái 。
极寒法则果然非同小可，随着刺啦声不停传入耳朵，蓝色冰层瞬间蔓延开来，将整个护罩包裹了起来。
However, Lin Xuan's expression darkened when he saw where the sword energy struck. The barrier remained almost intact after the ice shards fell off.
“ chéng le 。”
“成了。”
How could this be?
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， yáng shǒu yī dào jiàn guāng jī shè shàng qù 。
林轩心中大喜，扬手一道剑光激射上去。
Even the laws of nature had no effect on it. Was this guy really that strong?
suì liè zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jīng yíng bīng xiè sì xià fēi wǔ 。
碎裂之声传入耳朵，晶莹冰屑四下飞舞。
Lin Xuan was both amazed and bewildered. What happened before was too inexplicable to deduce logically.
rán ér kàn zhe jiàn qì suǒ jī zhī chù ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng què yīn chén dào jí chù 。
然而看着剑气所击之处，林轩的表情却阴沉到极处。
Could it be…
jū rán méi yǒu yòng tú ， bīng xiè tuō luò yǐ hòu ， hù zhào jī hū shì wán hǎo wú sǔn de 。
居然没有用途，冰屑脱落以后，护罩几乎是完好无损的。
Lin Xuan frowned, deep in thought, as the mocking voice of his opponent reached his ears: "Little fellow, there's no point in wasting your efforts. Before I complete my true demonic body, a demon realm will protect me. Unless you're an old monster at late-transcendence stage, any attack is futile."
zěn me kě néng ne ？
怎么可能呢？
"True demonic body?"
lián tiān dì fǎ zé dōu méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， yǎn qián zhè jiā huo yǒu zhè me qiáng me ？
连天地法则都没有效果，眼前这家伙有这么强么？
Lin Xuan was stunned as if he had opened a sealed memory. He remembered reading about theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon in ancient texts, which provided very detailed descriptions.
lín xuān jīng yà zhī yú ， yě yǒu xiē cuò è ， yǎn qián suǒ fā shēng de yí mù ， shí zài shì tài nán yǐ suǒ jiě le ， gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ zhào cháng lǐ tuī cè 。
林轩惊讶之余，也有些错愕，眼前所发生的一幕，实在是太难以索解了，根本没有办法照常理推测。
However, these descriptions were bizarre and many dismissed them. Even Lin Xuan was skeptical of what the texts said about theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon.
nán dào shuō …
难道说…
It was well known that theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon lived in a place vastly different from the Three Realms. But all these demons were incredibly powerful, often lacking fixed forms or bodies.
lín xuān zài nà lǐ zhòu méi kǔ kǔ sī suǒ ， duì fāng jī cháo de shēng yīn jǐ chuán rù le ěr duǒ ：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， bù yòng bái fèi lì qì le ， běn mó zūn wán chéng zhēn mó zhī tǐ yǐ qián ， huì yǒu mó yù bǎo hù ， chú fēi nǐ shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， fǒu zé ， suí biàn nǐ zěn me gōng jī dōu shì wú xiào de 。”
林轩在那里皱眉苦苦思索，对方讥嘲的声音己传入了耳朵：“小家伙，不用白费力气了，本魔尊完成真魔之体以前，会有魔域保护，除非你是渡劫后期的老怪物，否则，随便你怎么攻击都是无效的。”
Some were even just demonic thoughts.
“ zhēn mó zhī tǐ ？”
“真魔之体？”
Thus, their primary abilities were mental attacks and possession of cultivators' bodies.
lín xuān yī dāi ， fǎng fú dǎ kāi le chén fēng de jì yì ， jì de zì jǐ céng jīng kàn guò yī běn shàng gǔ diǎn jí ， lǐ miàn duì yú yù wài tiān mó de miáo shù ， kě yǐ shuō fēi cháng de xiáng xì 。
林轩一呆，仿佛打开了尘封的记忆，记得自己曾经看过一本上古典籍，里面对于域外天魔的描述，可以说非常的详细。
However, assuming theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon only had this limited ability was foolish.
rán ér què guāng guài lù lí ， hěn duō rén dōu chī zhī yǐ bí ， biàn shì lín xuān ， duì yú lǐ miàn jì zǎi de yǔ yù wài tiān mó yǒu guān de dōng xī ， dōu bàn xìn bàn yí 。
然而却光怪陆离，很多人都嗤之以鼻，便是林轩，对于里面记载的与域外天魔有关的东西，都半信半疑。
According to the ancient texts, theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon weren't truly without a body. They simply didn't use it most of the time.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī 。
众所周知。
The reason was simple: when theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon existed as demonic thoughts, they wouldn't consume their lifespan.
yù wài tiān mó shēng huó de dì fāng ， yǔ sān jiè jiǒng yì ， dàn zhè xiē mó tóu wú bù qiáng dà wú bǐ ， ér qiě dà duō shì méi yǒu gù dìng de xíng tài yǔ shēn tǐ 。
域外天魔生活的地方，与三界迥异，但这些魔头无不强大无比，而且大多是没有固定的形态与身体。
In short, theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon could live indefinitely by not using their bodies and avoiding death, much like late-transcendence stage cultivators who had broken free from the constraints of lifespan. Although it was a clever way to cheat nature, they indeed achieved immortality.
yǒu de shèn zhì jiù shì yī dào mó niàn ér jǐ 。
有的甚至就是一道魔念而己。
However, once they used their bodies, this trick wouldn't work anymore. They would be bound by the laws of nature and perish when their lifespan ran out.
suǒ yǐ duì fāng zuì wèi shàn cháng de ， shì jīng shén lèi gōng jī yǔ duó shě xiū shì de shēn tǐ 。
所以对方最为擅长的，是精神类攻击与夺舍修士的身体。
Indeed, they perished completely; theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon didn't have reincarnation.
rán ér ruò shì yǐ wéi yù wài tiān mó zhǐ yǒu zhè yì diǎn diǎn běn shì ， nà jiù shì yú bù kě jí 。
然而若是以为域外天魔只有这一点点本事，那就是愚不可及。
And once they used their body, they couldn't revert to demonic thoughts. The loss of lifespan would continue until they died.
jù nà běn diǎn jí suǒ shuō ， yù wài tiān mó bìng bú shì zhēn de méi yǒu shēn tǐ 。
据那本典籍所说，域外天魔并不是真的没有身体。
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon preferred being sealed rather than using their bodies. This guy in front of him was clearly driven by anger and a momentary impulse, preparing to summon his true demonic body to eliminate Lin Xuan.
zhǐ shì píng cháng bù yuàn yì shǐ yòng ér sì 。
只是平常不愿意使用而巳。
According to the ancient texts, the true demonic body of theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon was actually formed from refined demonic qi, but it could only take one form which would remain permanent. During this process, even theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon couldn't control it entirely.
wú tā ， dāng yù wài tiān mó yǐ mó niàn xíng tài cún zài de shí hòu ， tā mén bú huì xiāo hào zì jǐ de shòu yuán 。
无他，当域外天魔以魔念形态存在的时候，他扪不会消耗自己的寿元。
The specifics were unclear since information about theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon was scarce in the Three Realms.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， yù wài tiān mó zhǐ yào bù shǐ yòng zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， yòu méi yǒu bèi miè shā de huà ， jiù kě yǐ yì zhí huó xià qù ， jiù rú tóng dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， sì jīng zhèng tuō le shòu yuán de shù fù ， suī rán shì yòng de qǔ qiǎo de fāng shì ， dàn què shí jǐ jīng néng gòu cháng shēng bù lǎo méi cuò 。
简单的说，域外天魔只要不使用自己的身体，又没有被灭杀的话，就可以一直活下去，就如同渡劫后期的修仙者，巳经挣脱了寿元的束缚，虽然是用的取巧的方式，但确实己经能够长生不老没错。
However, it was certain that during the formation of the true demonic body, a protective barrier called the demon realm would appear. Its strength far exceeded that of theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon itself.
rán ér dāng tā men shǐ yòng zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， zhè qǔ qiǎo de bǎ xì jiù méi yǒu le yòng wǔ zhī dì ， tā yě jiāng shòu kùn yú tiān dì fǎ zé ， yí dàn shòu yuán hào jìn ， tóng yàng huì yān xiāo yún sàn diào le 。
然而当他们使用自己的身体，这取巧的把戏就没有了用武之地，他也将受困于天地法则，一旦寿元耗尽，同样会烟消云散掉了。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as he recalled all the information from the ancient texts about theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon. Comparing it with the current situation, he concluded that every piece of information in those texts was true, despite its seeming absurdity.
méi cuò ， yān xiāo yún sàn ， yù wài tiān mó ， kě méi yǒu zhuǎn shì lún huí yī shuō 。
没错，烟消云散，域外天魔，可没有转世轮回一说。
"This is going to be troublesome."
ér qiě yí dàn shǐ yòng zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， tā jiù wú fǎ zài huà wèi mó niàn ， zhè shòu yuán de sǔn hào ， huì yì zhí chí xù xià qù ， zhōng jiān bù kě néng zàn tíng ， zhí dào tā yǔn luò 。
而且一旦使用自己的身体，他就无法再化为魔念，这寿元的损耗，会一直持续下去，中间不可能暂停，直到他陨落。
Lin Xuan frowned deeply. The demon realm's protective barrier was too strong; even the combination of Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire and Nine Palaces Needle Sword had failed. In a hurry, he didn't have better abilities to break through it. However, if they delayed any longer, his opponent would complete his true demonic body.
suǒ yǐ bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， yù wài tiān mó qíng yuàn bèi fēng yìn yě bú huì shǐ yòng zì jǐ de shēn tǐ ， yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， xiǎn rán shì bèi lín xuān qì shǎ le ， yī shí tóu nǎo fā rè ， bù jì hòu guǒ ， zhǔn bèi zhào huàn zhēn mó zhī tǐ jiāng lín xuān miè chú 。
所以不到万不得已，域外天魔情愿被封印也不会使用自己的身体，眼前这家伙，显然是被林轩气傻了，一时头脑发热，不计后果，准备召唤真魔之体将林轩灭除。
And while theoutside realms or outer regionsheavenly demon's true demonic body was limited by lifespan, its power far exceeded that of a possessed body.
How could this be possible?
Lin Xuan almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
After all, spirit energy and demonic qi had completely different attributes. They should even be in opposition to each other, so how could they possibly transform into one another? It was like water and fire; they shouldn't naturally coexist.

The Nine Palaces Needle Sword adjusted its stance and shot forward like a tempest.
Knowing his own abilities best, combining extreme coldlaw or principle with his innate treasure, even an old monster at mid-transcendence stage wouldn't dare to directly confront him.
Lin Xuan had no intention of holding back. He even said he was using his bottom-most skills.
The entire process unfolded quickly. In the next moment, silver light shone brightly as the Nine Palaces Needle Sword struck the black barrier with all its might.
However, it failed to produce any effect. His exceptionally sharp innate treasure was easily repelled.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath but didn't lose heart. A clear sound echoed in his ears, and the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire transformed into a phoenix about a foot long.
But it was ice-cold and transparent, precisely the Ice Phoenix clan as legend had it.
With a flap of its wings, it drove the extreme coldlaw or principle forward and collided with the barrier.
Sizzle…
The temperature in the void plummeted suddenly, turning it into an icy world. No, more accurately, it was much colder than ice itself.
