bsp; shén mì ， gǔ piáo ， yī kàn jiù shì fēi tóng yī bān de bǎo wù 。
bsp; 神秘，古朴，一看就是非同一般的宝物。
Mysterious and ancient, this appeared to be a nonpareil treasure.
xuē lǎo yāo liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yě biàn dé níng zhòng yǐ jí ， tā yǔ lín xuān xiāng jù bù guò bǎi yú zhàng ér yǐ ， cǐ bǎo yī chū ， tā jiù mò míng de gǎn shòu dào yī gǔ páng dà de yā lì 。
薛老妖脸上的表情，也变得凝重以极，他与林轩相距不过百余丈而已，此宝一出，他就莫名的感受到一股庞大的压力。
Elder Xue’s expression turned gravely serious. He was only about a hundred meters away from Lin Xuan, yet the moment he revealed his treasure, an overwhelming pressure washed over him.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì gāng gāng kāi shǐ 。
然而这仅仅是刚刚开始。
However, this was just the beginning.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， dòng zuò bù dài yī sī yān huǒ ， zhǐ jiàn nà yín sè de fú wén niǔ qū shǎn shuò ， měi lì de xiān huā xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī shì yī dào dào jiàn guāng ， zài shēn qián pán xuán fēi wǔ ， fǎ zé zhī lì ， rú qīng quán liú tǎng ér guò ， qīng xī yì cháng de zài xū kōng zhōng xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
林轩一指向前点去，动作不带一丝烟火，只见那银sè的符文扭曲闪烁，美丽的鲜花消失了，取而代之是一道道剑光，在身前盘旋飞舞，法则之力，如清泉流淌而过，清晰异常的在虚空中显现而出。
Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward without any trace of flamboyance. The silver-colored talisman text distorted and flickered, replacing the beautiful flowers with swordlight that swirled around in front of him. The power oflaw flowed like clear water through the void, clearly manifesting itself.
xuē lǎo yāo dà gǎn jīng è ， dù jié chū qī de cún zài ， què shí yǐ jīng néng gòu chù mō dào tiān dì fǎ zé ， dàn tā men suǒ lǐ jiě dào de ， bù jǐn jǐn shì pí máo me ， zěn me yǎn qián zhè ge jiā huo ， duì yú fǎ zé zhī lì de rèn zhī ， hái yào chāo guò zì jǐ ……
薛老妖大感惊愕，渡劫初期的存在，确实已经能够触摸到天地法则，但他们所理解到的，不仅仅是皮毛么，怎么眼前这个家伙，对于法则之力的认知，还要超过自己……
Elder Xue was greatly astonished. A being at theinitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage indeed had touched upon the laws of nature, but did this mean they only understood the surface? How could this guy’s comprehension of the power oflaw surpass his own?
bù kě néng ， tā jìng néng zhèng tuō jìng jiè de shù fù ， nán dào zhè xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， shì chuán shuō zhōng de tiān cái me ？. .
不可能，他竟能挣脱境界的束缚，难道这姓林的小家伙，是传说中的天才么？. .
Impossible. He had broken free from the constraints of his realm. Could this Lin youngster be a legendary genius?
xīn zhōng jīng nù ， rán ér kāi gōng méi yǒu huí tóu jiàn ， bù guǎn lín xuān shí lì rú hé ， tā dōu zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí yǔ qí yī zhàn le 。
心中惊怒，然而开弓没有回头箭，不管林轩实力如何，他都只有硬着头皮与其一战了。
His heart was filled with shock and anger, but there was no turning back. Regardless of how powerful Lin Xuan was, he would have to face him head-on.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， xuē lǎo yāo de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī hěn lì ， hòu huǐ méi yǒu yòng tú ， dǎ bài lín xuān shì tā wéi yī de chū lù 。
念及至此，薛老妖的眼中闪过一丝狠厉，后悔没有用途，打败林轩是他唯一的出路。
With that thought, a ruthless glint flashed in Elder Xue’s eyes. Defeating Lin Xuan was his only path forward.
páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yāo qì biàn dé gèng jiā de páng bó ， bú duì ， bú shì yāo qì pēn bó ， shì zhè jiā huo xiǎn lù chū zhēn shēn lái le 。
咆哮声传入耳朵，妖气变得更加的磅礴，不对，不是妖气喷薄，是这家伙显露出真身来了。
The roar echoed through the air as the aura around him became even more formidable. No, it wasn’t just an outpouring ofyao aura; this guy had revealed his true form.
tā yuán běn jiù shì yāo zú ， suī zǎo yǐ dào le huà xíng de chéng dù ， dàn xiǎng yào shǐ yòng yī xiē wú shàng mì shù hái shì xū yào jiè zhù yāo tǐ ， cái néng gòu shī zhǎn de 。
他原本就是妖族，虽早已到了化形的程度，但想要使用一些无上秘术还是需要借助妖体，才能够施展的。
He was originally a妖族 (yaozue):妖族 refers to a race of creatures often depicted as monstrous or demonic in Chinese mythology and fiction. member who had already transformed into its true form. However, to use some supreme secrets required the aid of hisyao body.
nà shì yī tóu jiāo lóng 。
那是一头蛟龙。
It was a dragon.
tōng tǐ zuò mò hēi zhī sè， zhǎng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， liǎn pén dà xiǎo de lín piàn yōu guāng shǎn shuò ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā ， bǐ yì bān de gǔ bǎo ， hái yào qiáng dà dé duō 。
通体做墨黑之sè，长百丈有余，脸盆大小的鳞片幽光闪烁，所散发出来的威压，比一般的古宝，还要强大得多。
Its body was pitch-black, over a hundred meters long, with scales as large as a basin that shimmered in the dark. Theintimidation, pressure it emitted was far more powerful than any ancient treasure.
jiāo lóng ， yuán běn jiù shì tiān dì líng zú ， xiū wèi dào le dù jié zhōng qī de chéng dù ， gèng nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ròu shēn qiáng dà dào hé zhǒng chéng dù 。
蛟龙，原本就是天地灵族，修为到了渡劫中期的程度，更难以想象肉身强大到何种程度。
Dragons were originally part of thespirit race and their physical strength at themid-stage transmigration through tribulation stage could be unimaginable.
ér qiě tā hái yǒu lóng yǔ mó fǎ ， zhǒng zhǒng tiān fù mì shù 。 yì bān de dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。 yě jué bù gǎn zhí yīng qí fēng 。
而且它还有龙语魔法，种种天赋秘术。一般的渡劫中期的修仙者。也绝不敢直缨其锋。
Moreover, it had the power ofdragon language magic and various innate secret techniques. Eveninitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage cultivators would dare not challenge him directly.
jiàn hú gōng nà liǎng wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo néng jiāng tā jīng tuì ， yě bù guò shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， nà yī cì ， xuē lǎo yāo yīn wèi mǒu xiē yuán gù ， bìng méi yǒu ná chū shí chéng de fǎ shù ， fǒu zé ， shuí shèng shuí fù 。 kǒng pà huì dé dào bù yí yàng de jié guǒ 。
剑湖宫那两位太上长老能将他惊退，也不过是机缘巧合，那一次，薛老妖因为某些缘故，并没有拿出十成的法术，否则，谁胜谁负。恐怕会得到不一样的结果。
The two senior elders from Sword Lake Palace had only been able to retreat due to sheer luck. On that occasion, Elder Xue hadn’t used his full might for some reason. Otherwise, who would have emerged victorious was uncertain.
ér zhè cì ， tā bù zài cáng zhuō ， yīn wèi jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yī chū ， tā jiù gǎn jué dào le jí dà de wēi shè ， xiàng lín xuān tiǎo zhàn shì yí gè cuò wù ， kě tā méi yǒu tuì lù 。 wéi yǒu ná chū zhēn zhèng de běn lǐng lái le 。
而这次，他不再藏拙，因为九宫须臾剑一出，他就感觉到了极大的威慑，像林轩挑战是一个错误，可他没有退路。唯有拿出真正的本领来了。
This time, he wouldn’t hold back. The moment the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword appeared, he felt a great threat. Challenging Lin Xuan seemed like a mistake, but there was no retreat; he had to reveal his true abilities.
zhè shì wú kě nài hé ， tóng shí ， lín xuān de chǔ jìng ， yě bù miào dào le jí chù 。
这是无可奈何，同时，林轩的处境，也不妙到了极处。
This was unavoidable. At the same time, Lin Xuan’s situation wasn’t looking good either.
dàn tā bìng bù zài hū 。
但他并不在乎。
But he didn’t care.
dí rén qiáng dà yòu rú hé ？
敌人强大又如何？
What if the enemy is strong?
xuē lǎo yāo suī xiāo zhāng bá hù ， dàn yǔ zì jǐ wǎng rì， wú yuān jìn rì wú chóu ， zhè yī zhàn ， zì jǐ běn lái jiù shì cún le lì wēi de yì tú 。
薛老妖虽嚣张跋扈，但与自己往rì，无冤近rì无仇，这一战，自己本来就是存了立威的意图。
Although Elder Xue was arrogant and domineering, they hadn’t been enemies in recent times. This battle was meant to establish his authority.
duì fāng zú gòu qiáng dà 。 zì jǐ jiāng qí dǎ bài cái néng xiǎn de hán jīn liàng shí zú 。 zhèn shè qún xióng 。
对方足够强大。自己将其打败才能显得含金量十足。震慑群雄。
The opponent being so powerful would only make defeating him more impressive, intimidating all who watched.
suī rán zhè zhōng jiān yě yào mào yí dìng fēng xiǎn ， dàn lín xuān yǒu xìn xīn néng yǔ tā yī zhàn 。
虽然这中间也要冒一定风险，但林轩有信心能与他一战。
While there were risks involved, Lin Xuan had confidence that he could face this challenge.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ chū 。 lín xuān shuāng shǒu bù tíng huī wǔ ， zhǐ jiàn jiàn máng shǎn shuò ， zài xū kōng zhōng pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiàn jiàn de ， jìng níng jié chū yī fú tài jí tú 。
九宫须臾剑已出。林轩双手不停挥舞，只见剑芒闪烁，在虚空中盘旋飞舞，渐渐的，竟凝结出一幅太极图。
The Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword had already appeared. Lin Xuan’s hands moved swiftly, and swordlight flickered in the void, gradually condensing into a Taiji diagram.
bào shǒu yīn yáng ， sì hū yùn hán yǒu tiān dì běn yuán zài qí zhōng 。
抱守yīn阳，似乎蕴含有天地本源在其中。
Holding Yin and Yang, it seemed to contain the essence of nature itself.
hēi sè de jiāo lóng dà shēng páo xiāo ， tā xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu bù ān de yù zhào ， zì rán bú huì shǎ hū hū de rèn yóu lín xuān shī fǎ ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， pēn chū yī dào shuǐ tǒng cū de guāng zhù 。
黑sè的蛟龙大声咆哮，他心中已有不安的预兆，自然不会傻乎乎的任由林轩施法，张开大口，喷出一道水桶粗的光柱。
The black dragon roared loudly, sensing an ominous premonition. He wouldn’t let Lin Xuan cast his spells without resistance. Opening its mouth wide, it spat out a light column as thick as a water bucket.
hēi guāng rú mò ， jué shì yāo qì mí sàn ér chū 。
黑光如墨，绝世妖气弥散而出。
Black light like ink spread out, filled with supremeyao aura.
nà guāng zhù ， shì yóu yāo qì yǎn huà ér chéng de ， lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā de jiàn shí yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dòu fǎ jīng yàn gèng shì fēng fù ， yī shùn jiān jiù biàn shí chū lái le 。
那光柱，是由妖气衍化而成的，林轩瞳孔微缩，他的见识也是非同小可，斗法经验更是丰富，一瞬间就辨识出来了。
Recognizing the nature of this light column, Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. His experience and knowledge were vast, allowing him to identify it instantly.
rán ér yǐ jīng wǎn le ！
然而已经晚了！
But it was too late!
nà guāng zhù fēi dào bàn tú ， tū rán yī fēn wèi sān ， suí hòu sān huà wèi wǔ ， guāng zhù xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì wǔ gè tóu lú dà xiǎo de hēi sè guāng qiú yìng rù yǎn lián 。
那光柱飞到半途，突然一分为三，随后三化为五，光柱消失不见，取而代之的是五个头颅大小的黑sè光球映入眼帘。
The light column split into three parts mid-flight, then five, vanishing completely as five black orbs the size of heads appeared before his eyes.
měi yí gè ， dōu yùn hán yǒu jīng chún yì cháng de jué shì yāo qì 。
每一个，都蕴含有jīng纯异常的绝世妖气。
Each orb contained an exceptionally pure supremeyao aura.
yǒu rú shí zhì yì bān ， suí hòu fēn bié mò rù le tā shēn qián de wǔ jiàn tōng tiān líng bǎo lǐ miàn 。
有如实质一般，随后分别没入了他身前的五件通天灵宝里面。
Substantial in nature, they sank into the five heavenly treasures in front of him: an ancient cauldron, a purple mirror, a copper tripod, an jade staff, and a silver bell.
gǔ dǐng ， zǐ jìng ， tóng lú ， yù rú yì ， yín zhōng 。
古鼎，紫镜，铜炉，玉如意，银钟。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A sound like that of a great bell resounded through the air. The five treasures emitted a brilliant light, casting mysterious halos from their surfaces.
rú hóng zhōng dà lǚ yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wǔ jiàn bǎo wù ， yì qǐ líng guāng dà zuò ， yī tuán tuán shén mì de guāng yùn ， yóu tā men biǎo miàn mí sàn ér chū 。
如洪钟大吕一般的声音传入耳朵，五件宝物，一起灵光大做，一团团神秘的光晕，由它们表面弥散而出。
Simultaneously, differentlaw forces passed through the sky. Although these were only postnatal treasures, they possessed formidable power.
tóng shí ， tiān kōng zhōng yǒu bù tóng de fǎ zé zhī lì huá guò ， zhè suī rán zhǐ shì hòu tiān líng bǎo ， dàn wēi lì kěn dìng bù sú 。
同时，天空中有不同的法则之力划过，这虽然只是后天灵宝，但威力肯定不俗。
Lin Xuan quickly assessed the situation.
lín xuān yī shùn jiān jiù pàn duàn chū lái le 。
林轩一瞬间就判断出来了。
Before he could react, those five treasures suddenly vanished.
rán ér hái bù děng tā yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， nà wǔ jiàn qí bǎo tū rán yī xià zi bú jiàn le 。
然而还不等他有所动作，那五件奇宝突然一下子不见了。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as the objects reappeared a dozen meters in front of him.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xià yī kè ， zhè xiē dōng xī què chū xiàn zài le tā shēn qián shí yú zhàng yuǎn chù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，下一刻，这些东西却出现在了他身前十余丈远处。
"This is instant teleportation... No, it's an even more refined spatiallaw, spanning the void!"
“ zhè shì shùn yí …… bú duì ， shì gèng wéi gāo miào de kōng jiān fǎ zé ， héng dù xū kōng ！”
“这是瞬移……不对，是更为高妙的空间法则，横渡虚空！”
Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed but couldn’t dodge. Divine patterns spread from the surfaces of these treasures, combining with the power oflaw to seal this area.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè， què yǐ jīng lái bù jí duǒ ， yī dào dào shén wén yóu zhè xiē bǎo wù de biǎo miàn mí sàn ér chū 。
林轩大惊失sè，却已经来不及躲，一道道神纹由这些宝物的表面弥散而出。
"Is this aprohibition?"
yǔ fǎ zé zhī lì xiāng jié ， jiāng zhè yī piàn qū yù quán dōu fēng suǒ 。
与法则之力相结，将这一片区域全都封锁。
Lin Xuan felt intrigued by its nature.
“ zhè shì jìn zhì zhī lì ？”
“这是禁制之力？”
"Yes, exactly aprohibition. Young Lin, your powers are impressive. Try tasting the might of my Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array and see if you can break through," the dragon’s voice boomed from above, concealing his elation.
lín xuān yě gǎn jué dào le xī qí 。
林轩也感觉到了稀奇。
"Unless it's alate-stage transmigration through tribulation cultivator, he won’t believe anyone could escape this array unscathed."
“ bù cuò ， zhèng shì jìn zhì ， lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ shén tōng bù sú ， qiě cháng yī cháng lǎo fū zhè wǔ xíng tiān jué dà zhèn wēi lì rú hé ， néng fǒu pò zhèn ér chū ？” jiǔ tiān zhī shàng ， nà jiāo lóng jīng rén de páo xiāo shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què nán yǎn xīn zhōng de dé yì zhī sè。
“不错，正是禁制，林小子，你神通不俗，且尝一尝老夫这五行天绝大阵威力如何，能否破阵而出？”九天之上，那蛟龙惊人的咆哮声传入耳朵，却难掩心中的得意之sè。
On the ground, the other twoinitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage experts were equally stunned. Their faces showed shock.
“ chú fēi shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， fǒu zé ， tā jué bù xiāng xìn yǒu rén bèi cǐ zhèn fǎ kùn zhù ， hái néng gòu píng ān zǒu chū lái de 。”
“除非是渡劫后期的修仙者，否则，他绝不相信有人被此阵法困住，还能够平安走出来的。”
"What? The Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array? Isn't that an ancientemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族)’s array technique?" the black phoenix demoness covered her mouth in surprise.
dì shàng ， lìng liǎng wèi dù jié qī qiáng zhě yě chēng mù jié shé ， liǎn shàng lù chū le hài rán zhī sè。
地上，另两位渡劫期强者也瞠目结舌，脸上露出了骇然之sè。
"Yes, different from aprohibition set up with array tools, this is said to require heavenly treasures as a guide and encompasses the five elements. Yes, those five treasures he just revealed are familiar; they match the descriptions of the Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array’s required treasures in ancient texts. If I’m not mistaken, Elder Xue recently replicated it."
“ shén me ， wǔ xíng tiān jué dà zhèn ， nà bú shì chuán shuō shàng gǔ yāo dì de zhèn fǎ me ， zhè xuē lǎo yāo jū rán jì liàn chéng le ？” hēi fèng yāo nǚ yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng è 。
“什么，五行天绝大阵，那不是传说上古妖帝的阵法么，这薛老妖居然祭炼成了？”黑凤妖女以手掩口，脸上满是惊愕。
Master Wan Xiao nodded, his self-talk echoing.
“ bù cuò ， yǔ yòng bù zhèn qì jù bù xià de jìn zhì bù tóng ， cǐ zhèn fǎ tīng shuō yào yòng tōng tiān líng bǎo wèi yǐn ， ér qiě náng kuò wǔ xíng ， duì le ， tā gāng cái jì chū de nà wǔ jiàn bǎo wù ， wǒ shuō nà me de yǎn shú ， yǔ shàng gǔ diǎn jí zhōng miáo shù de wǔ xíng tiān jué dà zhèn xū yào yòng dào de bǎo wù xiāng tóng ， ruò shì wǒ méi yǒu yù liào ， yīng gāi shì xuē lǎo yāo xīn jìn fǎng zhì chū lái de 。”
“不错，与用布阵器具布下的禁制不同，此阵法听说要用通天灵宝为引，而且囊括五行，对了，他刚才祭出的那五件宝物，我说那么的眼熟，与上古典籍中描述的五行天绝大阵需要用到的宝物相同，若是我没有预料，应该是薛老妖新近仿制出来的。”
"Strange to say, this old monster sealed himself away for nearly ten thousand years, all for this treasure. So he did inherit from an ancientemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族)," the black phoenix demoness mused.
wàn xiǎo zhēn rén yě diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
万晓真人也点了点头，自言自语的声音传入耳朵。
"Hmph, that’s right, but obtaining theinheritance, transmission of aemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族) isn’t easy. If I’m not mistaken, this old devil only obtained techniques related to the Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array; otherwise, he would have advanced tolate-stage transmigration through tribulation long ago with far greater power."
“ guài shuō bù dé zhè lǎo guài wù bì guān le jìn wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， yuán lái shì wèi le jì liàn zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zhè me shuō ， tā dé dào le shàng gǔ yāo dì de chuán chéng 。” hēi fèng yāo nǚ ruò yǒu suǒ sī de shuō 。
“怪说不得这老怪物闭关了近万年之久，原来是为了祭炼这件宝物，这么说，他得到了上古妖帝的传承。”黑凤妖女若有所思的说。
"Indeed, Master has a point."
“ hēng ， huà shì zhè me shuō méi cuò ， dàn yāo dì de chuán chéng yòu nà shì nà me hǎo dé ， ruò shì lǎo fū méi yǒu liào cuò ， zhè lǎo yāo zhǐ shì dé dào yǔ wǔ xíng tiān jué dà zhèn yǒu guān de mì shù bà le ， fǒu zé ， tā zǎo jiù jìn jiē dào dù jié hòu qī ， yǒu zhe yuǎn chāo xiàn zài de shí lì 。”
“哼，话是这么说没错，但妖帝的传承又那是那么好得，若是老夫没有料错，这老妖只是得到与五行天绝大阵有关的秘术罢了，否则，他早就进阶到渡劫后期，有着远超现在的实力。”
The voices of the two great experts echoed, their words even more shocking.
“ ń ， zhēn rén yán zhī yǒu lǐ 。”
“嗯，真人言之有理。”
The silver-eyed girl and the dragon-named youth, as leaders of their sects, had faced many trials. Yet now, they looked pale.
liǎng wèi dù jié qī dà néng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suǒ shuō de nèi róng gèng shì jīng xīn dòng pò 。
两位渡劫期大能的声音传入耳朵，所说的内容更是惊心动魄。
From their conversation, it was clear that this array was extraordinary, driven by five heavenly treasures, with its heritage dating back to ancient times. Mostinitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage experts wouldn’t dare challenge such an array directly.
yín tóng shào nǚ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián shēn wèi yī pài zōng zhǔ ， yě suàn jīng lì le bù shǎo dà fēng dà làng de rén wù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yí gè gè què liǎn sè rú tǔ 。
银瞳少女与龙姓少年身为一派宗主，也算经历了不少大风大浪的人物，然而此时此刻，一个个却脸sè如土。
Would Lin Xuan’s younger brother truly be able to turn defeat into victory?
Mysterious and ancient, this appeared to be a nonpareil treasure.
Elder Xue’s expression turned gravely serious. He was only about a hundred meters away from Lin Xuan, yet the moment he revealed his treasure, an overwhelming pressure washed over him.
However, this was just the beginning.
"Quickly!"
Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward without any trace of flamboyance. The silver-colored talisman text distorted and flickered, replacing the beautiful flowers with swordlight that swirled around in front of him. The power oflaw flowed like clear water through the void, clearly manifesting itself.
"What...?"
Elder Xue was greatly astonished. A being at theinitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage indeed had touched upon the laws of nature, but did this mean they only understood the surface? How could this guy’s comprehension of the power oflaw surpass his own?
Impossible. He had broken free from the constraints of his realm. Could this Lin youngster be a legendary genius?
His heart was filled with shock and anger, but there was no turning back. Regardless of how powerful Lin Xuan was, he would have to face him head-on.
With that thought, a ruthless glint flashed in Elder Xue’s eyes. Defeating Lin Xuan was his only path forward.
Roar!
The roar echoed through the air as the aura around him became even more formidable. No, it wasn’t just an outpouring ofyao aura; this guy had revealed his true form.

Dragons were originally part of thespirit race and their physical strength at themid-stage transmigration through tribulation stage could be unimaginable.

But he didn’t care.
What if the enemy is strong?
Although Elder Xue was arrogant and domineering, they hadn’t been enemies in recent times. This battle was meant to establish his authority.
The opponent being so powerful would only make defeating him more impressive, intimidating all who watched.
While there were risks involved, Lin Xuan had confidence that he could face this challenge.
The Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword had already appeared. Lin Xuan’s hands moved swiftly, and swordlight flickered in the void, gradually condensing into a Taiji diagram.
Holding Yin and Yang, it seemed to contain the essence of nature itself.

"What? The Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array? Isn't that an ancientemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族)’s array technique?" the black phoenix demoness covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yes, different from aprohibition set up with array tools, this is said to require heavenly treasures as a guide and encompasses the five elements. Yes, those five treasures he just revealed are familiar; they match the descriptions of the Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array’s required treasures in ancient texts. If I’m not mistaken, Elder Xue recently replicated it."
Master Wan Xiao nodded, his self-talk echoing.
"Strange to say, this old monster sealed himself away for nearly ten thousand years, all for this treasure. So he did inherit from an ancientemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族)," the black phoenix demoness mused.
"Hmph, that’s right, but obtaining theinheritance, transmission of aemperor of the yao (referring to a ruler of the妖族) isn’t easy. If I’m not mistaken, this old devil only obtained techniques related to the Five Elements Heaven Extinction Great Array; otherwise, he would have advanced tolate-stage transmigration through tribulation long ago with far greater power."
"Indeed, Master has a point."
The voices of the two great experts echoed, their words even more shocking.
The silver-eyed girl and the dragon-named youth, as leaders of their sects, had faced many trials. Yet now, they looked pale.
From their conversation, it was clear that this array was extraordinary, driven by five heavenly treasures, with its heritage dating back to ancient times. Mostinitial stage transmigration through tribulation stage experts wouldn’t dare challenge such an array directly.
Would Lin Xuan’s younger brother truly be able to turn defeat into victory?
