bsp; táo wù ！
bsp; 梼杌！
Talos!
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de bó rán biàn sè。
即便以林轩的城府，也不由得勃然变sè。
Even Lin Xuan, with his composure, couldn't help but be taken aback. This was too unexpected; he actually met Talos again here, and it wasn’t out of the question to call them enemies meeting on a narrow road.
zhè tài yì wài le ， jū rán huì zài zhè lǐ ， yǔ táo wù chóng féng ， shuō yuān jiā lù zhǎi yě bù wèi guò 。
这太意外了，居然会在这里，与梼杌重逢，说冤家路窄也不为过。
Lin Xuan’s eyes now held more vigilance.
lín xuān de yǎn zhōng ， yě bù yóu duō le jǐ fēn jǐng tì zhī sè。
林轩的眼中，也不由多了几分jǐng惕之sè。
Talos wasn’t a true spirit or an ancient beast, yet its bloodline was formidable beyond measure. It originated from the ancient times, with power strong enough to sweep through realms. Even great sages would be wary of it.
táo wù ， bìng fēi zhēn líng ， yě bú shì gǔ shòu ， rán ér xuè mài zhī qiáng hèng què fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， tóng yàng chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ ， shí lì dào le néng gòu héng sǎo dù jié de dì bù ， jiù suàn shì dà néng yě huì tán zhī biàn sè。
梼杌，并非真灵，也不是古兽，然而血脉之强横却非同小可，同样传承自上古，实力到了能够横扫渡劫的地步，就算是大能也会谈之变sè。
No one knew where Talos lived, as it could tear through the void. Legends said that it roamed between the three realms, understanding the laws of heaven and earth.
tā shēng huó zài nǎ lǐ yě méi yǒu rén xiǎo de ， yīn wèi táo wù tóng yàng néng gòu pò suì xū kōng ， chuán shuō ， tā zài sān jiè jiān chuān suō ， lǐng wù tiān dào fǎ zé 。
它生活在哪里也没有人晓得，因为梼杌同样能够破碎虚空，传说，它在三界间穿梭，领悟天道法则。
Lin Xuan and Talos were old acquaintances; in the human world, he had once slain a fragment of its soul. During his last journey to the Ice Sea Realm, they met again on a narrow road, with enemies seeing red. Lin Xuan had decapitated one of its incarnations.
lín xuān yǔ táo wù suàn shì lǎo xiāng shí le ， zài rén jiè zhī shí jiù céng jiāng tā de yī lǚ fēn hún zhǎn shā guò 。
林轩与梼杌算是老相识了，在人界之时就曾将它的一缕分魂斩杀过。
This creature was part of the Four Fiends of Spirit World, so it wouldn’t be silent or submissive. It sent another incarnation down and even unleashed temporal laws, nearly wiping out Lin Xuan.
shàng cì bīng hǎi jiè zhī lǚ ， yòu yǔ zhè jiā huo xiá lù xiāng yù ， chóu rén jiàn miàn ， fèn wài yǎn hóng ， lín xuān jiāng tā jiàng lín de yī jù huà shēn zhǎn shā diào le
上次冰海界之旅，又与这家伙狭路相遇，仇人见面，分外眼红，林轩将它降临的一具化身斩杀掉了
However, Lin Xuan’s luck was good; he happened to encounter the ruler of Qingqiu State coming to recruit disciples. A nine-tailed celestial fox was a figure comparable to an immortal, so although the temporal laws were profound, Talos’ incarnation only grasped a superficial understanding and was easily extinguished by the celestial fox.
zhè jiā huo nǎi shì líng jiè sì xiōng zhè yī ， zì rán bú huì tūn shēng rěn qì ， yī bù zuò ， èr bù xiū ， yòu jiāng yī jù huà shēn jiàng luò ， zuì hòu gèng shī zhǎn chū shí jiān fǎ zé ， chà diǎn jiù jiāng lín xuān miè chú 。
这家伙乃是灵界四凶这一，自然不会吞声忍气，一不做，二不休，又将一具化身降落，最后更施展出时间法则，差点就将林轩灭除。
Lin Xuan escaped unscathed, but that battle had been one of the most perilous since he embarked on his path to immortality. His life hung in the balance, nearly leading to an irreversible situation, while all Talos had sent down was an incarnation.
rán ér lín xuān de yùn qì zhe shí bù cuò ， pèng qiǎo yù jiàn qīng qiū guó zhǔ qián lái shōu tú ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú kě shì kān bǐ sàn xiān de rén wù ， shí jiān fǎ zé suī rán shēn ào ， dàn táo wù de huà shēn yě bù guò zhǎng wò le yì diǎn pí máo ， rú hé huì bèi jiǔ wěi tiān hú fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， huī huī shǒu jiù jiāng tā miè qù 。
然而林轩的运气着实不错，碰巧遇见青丘国主前来收徒，九尾天狐可是堪比散仙的人物，时间法则虽然深奥，但梼杌的化身也不过掌握了一点皮毛，如何会被九尾天狐放在眼里，挥挥手就将它灭去。
Its strength was beyond comprehension; it wasn’t a true spirit yet surpassed them. Even old sages would bow before it, as it had the capability to sweep through realms.
lín xuān huà xiǎn wéi yí ， dàn nà yī zhàn jué duì shì tā tà shàng xiān lù yǐ lái zuì wèi xiǎn è de yī cì ， shēng sǐ zhǐ zài háo lí ， chà yì diǎn jiù dào le wàn jié bù fù de jìng dì ， ér táo wù jiàng lín de ， bù guò shì yī jù huà shēn ér yǐ 。
林轩化险为夷，但那一战绝对是他踏上仙路以来最为险恶的一次，生死只在毫厘，差一点就到了万劫不复的境地，而梼杌降临的，不过是一具化身而已。
A great name begets no false person. Talos originated from ancient times and lived for so long that its lifespan couldn’t even be measured. Its longevity rivaled that of immortals and demon kings.
zhè jiā huo de qiáng dà kě xiǎng ér zhī ， bú shì zhēn líng ， shèng sì zhēn líng ， jiù suàn shì dù jié qī lǎo zǔ ， zài qí miàn qián yě zhǐ néng bài fú ， zhè jiā huo yǒu néng lì héng sǎo ér guò 。
这家伙的强大可想而知，不是真灵，胜似真灵，就算是渡劫期老祖，在其面前也只能拜服，这家伙有能力横扫而过。
The only beings older than it were true dragons, rainbow phoenixes, and nine-headed birds—existing since the dawn of creation.
shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì ， táo wù chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ ， huó le duō jiǔ de suì yuè zì jǐ dōu jì bú zhù ， jiù shòu yuán lái shuō ， bǐ zhī sàn xiān yāo wáng yě bù xùn sè。
盛名之下无虚士，梼杌传承自上古，活了多久的岁月自己都记不住，就寿元来说，比之散仙妖王也不逊sè。
Before him, this creature exuded an overwhelming aura of malice, compressing the void into powder. Its might was unparalleled; it couldn’t be just an incarnation. Talos itself had appeared.
zhēn yào shuō huó dé bǐ tā gèng jiǔ de shēng líng 。 zhǐ yǒu zhēn lóng 。 cǎi fèng yǐ jí jiǔ tóu niǎo zhè yàng de cún zài ， tā men lái zì yú hùn dùn chū kāi ， kāi tiān pì dì de shí hòu jiù yǐ jīng cún zài 。
真要说活得比它更久的生灵。只有真龙。彩凤以及九头鸟这样的存在，它们来自于混沌初开，开天辟地的时候就已经存在。
Talos, one of the most fearsome beasts in legend, was renowned far and wide, but few had seen its true form. Unless you were a late-stage realm transcender, you would be crushed to dust by this creature.
ér yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， sàn fà chū tāo tiān de lì qì ， xū kōng dōu bèi yā chéng le fěn mò ， rú cǐ wēi shì ， rú cǐ páng bó 。 jué bù kě néng shì huà shēn yì liú ， táo wù běn tǐ chū xiàn le 。
而眼前这家伙，散发出滔天的戾气，虚空都被压成了粉末，如此威势，如此磅礴。绝不可能是化身一流，梼杌本体出现了。
There was no reason; Talos was inherently cruel and bloodthirsty. Legends said it roamed between realms, yet for some reason, it found itself in the Flying Cloud Desert, fighting an ancient king beast.
táo wù ， chuán shuō zhōng zuì kě pà de xiōng shòu ， wēi míng tāo tiān ， rán ér jiàn guò tā zhēn róng de xiū shì què méi yǒu jǐ gè ， chú fēi nǐ shì dù jié hòu qī de qiáng zhě 。 fǒu zé ， dōu yào bèi zhè jiā huo niǎn wèi fěn mò 。
梼杌，传说中最可怕的凶兽，威名滔天，然而见过它真容的修士却没有几个，除非你是渡劫后期的强者。否则，都要被这家伙碾为粉末。
The ancient beast’s strength was unparalleled, a legacy from the ancient kings, shaking heaven and earth. Yet now, it struggled to breathe under Talos’ pressure.
méi yǒu shén me lǐ yóu ， táo wù yuán běn jiù shì cán rěn shì shā de ， chuán shuō ， tā zài sān jiè zhōng chuān suō ， bù zhī cǐ kè ， wèi hé lái dào le fēi yún huāng mò 。
没有什么理由，梼杌原本就是残忍嗜杀的，传说，它在三界中穿梭，不知此刻，为何来到了飞云荒漠。
Roar!
ér qiě hái yǔ tài gǔ wáng shòu dǎ qǐ lái le 。
而且还与太古王兽打起来了。
A thunderous roar echoed through the air, turning nearby mountains into dust. The ancient beast, with its tiger head and lion body, raised its head, transforming into a golden light ball that crashed towards Lin Xuan.
gǔ shòu ， shí lì qiáng hèng yǐ jí 。 chuán chéng zì tài gǔ de wáng zhě 。 gèng shì jīng tiān dòng dì ， rán ér cǐ kè 。 què bèi táo wù yā dé chuǎn bù guò qì 。
古兽，实力强横以极。传承自太古的王者。更是惊天动地，然而此刻。却被梼杌压得喘不过气。
It had always been at a disadvantage in their encounters, unable to match his steady moves. But its royal bloodline made it unwilling to give up, resorting to desperate measures.
hǒu ！
吼！
Great subtlety hides in plain sight; this collision could tear through the void, with threads of law emanating from its body. It seemed to have touched upon the laws of power as well. No wonder it was a king among ancient beasts, though it wasn’t fully proficient.
jīng tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī hǒu zhī wēi ， jiāng yuǎn chù de jǐ zuò huāng shān dōu huà wèi le fěn mò 。
惊天动地的咆哮传入耳朵，一吼之威，将远处的几座荒山都化为了粉末。
"Want to run? Fool!"
zhǐ jiàn hǔ shǒu shī shēn de gǔ shòu yáng qǐ tóu ， zhěng gè huà wèi le yí gè jīn sè de guāng qiú ， xiàng zhe duì fāng hěn hěn zhuàng guò qù le 。
只见虎首狮身的古兽扬起头，整个化为了一个金sè的光球，像着对方狠狠撞过去了。
Talos’ gruff laughter echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears. The man-faced tiger-foot monster extended one claw, covering the sky before crashing down. It treated the ancient king beast’s desperate struggle as nothing.
yǔ táo wù jiāo shǒu ， tā yì zhí luò zài xià fēng ， yī bǎn yī yǎn de kěn dìng dǎ bù guò ， ér wáng zhě de xuè tǒng ràng tā bù gān fú shū ， shǐ yòng qǐ le pīn mìng de zhāo shù 。
与梼杌交手，它一直落在下风，一板一眼的肯定打不过，而王者的血统让它不甘服输，使用起了拼命的招数。
How powerful!
dà qiǎo ruò zhuō ， zhè yī zhuàng zhī wēi néng jiāng xū kōng dòng pò ， sī sī fǎ zé zhī lì yóu tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn mí sàn ér chū ， zhè jiā huo sì hū yě chù mō dào le lì liàng fǎ zé ， bù kuì shì gǔ shòu zhōng de wáng zhě ， zhǐ bù guò zhǎng wò dé bìng bù chún shú 。
大巧若拙，这一撞之威能将虚空洞破，丝丝法则之力由它身体表面弥散而出，这家伙似乎也触摸到了力量法则，不愧是古兽中的王者，只不过掌握得并不纯熟。
The arrogance of daring to interfere with its affairs was beyond comprehension. But Talos wasn’t a fool; it dared so because it had absolute confidence.
“ xiǎng pǎo ， chǔn huò ！”
“想跑，蠢货！”
Boom!
táo wù nán tīng de guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu nà rén miàn hǔ zú de guài wù yuè fā qīng chǔ ， táo wù jiāng yī lì zhuǎ shēn chū ， zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu bèi zhē zhù ， suí hòu xiàng xià àn luò ， zhè jiā huo ， jìng shì nà tài gǔ wáng shòu de pīn mìng wèi wú wù 。
梼杌难听的怪笑声传入耳朵，随后那人面虎足的怪物越发清楚，梼杌将一利爪伸出，整个天空都被遮住，随后向下按落，这家伙，竟视那太古王兽的拼命为无物。
It seemed like a meteorite fell, collapsing the earth and turning the void into powder. Starlight rained from the heavens.
tài qiáng dà le ！
太强大了！
Talos’ attack was overwhelming. The ancient king beast was also a formidable opponent, but its desperate struggle was futile. Blood rained down, half of its body reduced to powder.
zhè me zuò ， hé zhǐ yí gè xiāo zhāng néng gòu chuǎi mó ， dàn táo wù xiǎn rán bú shì chǔn huò ， tā gǎn rú cǐ ， kěn dìng shì yǒu zhe bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò 。
这么做，何止一个嚣张能够揣摩，但梼杌显然不是蠢货，它敢如此，肯定是有着百分之百的把握。
A round pearl about the size of an egg appeared, radiating golden light as if it were alive, flying away into the distance.
hōng ！
轰！
Talos wouldn’t let go; it opened its mouth and sucked in a black aura that flew towards the ancient king beast’s inner core.
fǎng fú liú xīng zhuì luò ， zhěng gè dà dì dōu bēng tā diào le ， xū kōng huà wèi fěn mò ， xīng hé yóu tiān jì diào luò 。
仿佛流星坠落，整个大地都崩塌掉了，虚空化为粉末，星河由天际掉落。
It had killed the ancient king beast to obtain this treasure. This item was a great boon for it, with the potential to further enhance its cultivation if it could be refined and consumed.
táo wù yī jī ， mó wēi gài shì ， nà tài gǔ wáng shòu yě shì qiáng zhě ， dàn cǐ kè pīn mìng yě méi yǒu yòng tú ， xuè yǔ sǎ luò ér chū ， dà bàn biān shēn zi yǐ bèi hōng wèi le fěn mò 。
梼杌一击，魔威盖世，那太古王兽也是强者，但此刻拼命也没有用途，血雨洒落而出，大半边身子已被轰为了粉末。
The inner core glowed with golden light, but the black aura moved like lightning. How could an ordinary inner core fly away when even the ancient king beast had been destroyed? Talos aimed to take it by force. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
yī kē é dàn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū fú xiàn ér chū ， jīn guāng yào mù ， rú yǒu tōng líng yì bān ， xiàng yuǎn chù fēi lüè ér zǒu 。
一颗鹅蛋大小的圆珠浮现而出，金光耀目，如有通灵一般，像远处飞掠而走。
A streak of green light appeared on the horizon, crossing through the void and arriving first. It transformed into a green hand that grabbed the ancient king beast’s inner core in its palm.
táo wù zì rán bú huì fàng guò ， zhāng zuǐ yī xī ， yī piàn hēi xiá jiù xiàng nà gǔ shòu nèi dān fēi qù 。
梼杌自然不会放过，张嘴一吸，一片黑霞就像那古兽内丹飞去。
The cicada catching the mantis, the sparrow behind it. Lin Xuan acted decisively; the inner core of the ancient king beast was also a rare treasure with great utility for him.
tā zhī suǒ yǐ jiāng tài gǔ wáng shòu miè chú ， mù dì jiù shì yào duó qǔ zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zhè dōng xī duì tā nǎi shì dà bǔ ， ruò shì néng jiāng qí liàn huà tūn fú xiū wèi yǒu wàng gèng jìn yí bù 。
它之所以将太古王兽灭除，目的就是要夺取这件宝物，这东西对它乃是大补，若是能将其炼化吞服修为有望更进一步。
Roar!
nèi dān jīn máng yào yǎn ， kě hēi xiá què kuài rú shǎn diàn ， lián tài gǔ wáng shòu dōu yǐ jīng bèi miè chú ， qū qū yí gè nèi dān zěn me kě néng fēi zǒu ne ， táo wù zhì zài bì děi ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
内丹金芒耀眼，可黑霞却快如闪电，连太古王兽都已经被灭除，区区一个内丹怎么可能飞走呢，梼杌志在必得，然而就在此刻，异变突起。
A deafening roar echoed through the air, turning everything within sight into dust. Talos roared in fury, daring to interfere with its affairs and snatch its treasures. An old man hanging by his own rope—had he grown tired of life?
yī dào qīng hóng chū xiàn zài tiān biān ， héng dù xū kōng ， hòu fā xiān zhì ， huà wèi yī qīng sè de dà shǒu ， jiāng gǔ shòu nèi dān ， zhuā zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
一道青虹出现在天边，横渡虚空，后发先至，化为一青sè的大手，将古兽内丹，抓在了掌心里面。
An overwhelming aura of malice rose into the sky, and an immense pressure spread out. With anger like a newborn devil, Talos would reduce anyone who dared to touch it to dust.
táng láng bǔ chán huáng què zài hòu ， lín xuān guǒ duàn chū shǒu ， tài gǔ wáng shòu de nèi dān ， duì tā lái shuō ， yì shì xī shì zhēn bǎo ， yǒu dà yòng 。
螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后，林轩果断出手，太古王兽的内丹，对他来说，亦是稀世珍宝，有大用。
The black light flashed, emitting threads of law that sealed the nearby void, leaving no place for escape!
hǒu ！
吼！
The plan was sound, but why hide?
zhèn tiān dòng dì de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiāng mù guāng suǒ jí de yī qiè ， quán bù huà wèi le fěn mò ， cuī kū lā xiǔ ， táo wù kuáng nù ， jū rán yǒu rén gǎn dào tài suì tóu shàng dòng tǔ ， cóng zì jǐ shǒu lǐ qiǎng duó bǎo wù ， lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ， huó nì le me ？
震天动地的咆哮传入耳朵，将目光所及的一切，全部化为了粉末，摧枯拉朽，梼杌狂怒，居然有人敢到太岁头上动土，从自己手里抢夺宝物，老寿星上吊，活腻了么？
Talos had descended in its true form, its power overwhelming. But Lin Xuan wasn’t a mere spirit realm cultivator; he had advanced to a realm transcender.
jīng rén de lì qì chōng tiān ér qǐ ， wú biān de wēi yā mí sàn ér chū ， nù fà chōng guān de táo wù ， jiù yǔ yī chū shì de mó wáng chà bu duō ， gǎn luō hǔ xū zhě ， bì bèi tā de nù huǒ huà wèi fěn mò 。
惊人的戾气冲天而起，无边的威压弥散而出，怒发冲冠的梼杌，就与一出世的魔王差不多，敢捋虎须者，必被它的怒火化为粉末。
The green hand clenched tightly, holding onto the treasure and delivering one punch.
nà hēi sè de guāng xiá yī shǎn ， jìng yǔ sī sī fǎ zé zhī lì mí sàn ér chū ， jiāng zhè fù jìn de xū kōng quán bù fēng zhù ， duì fāng wú chǔ kě duǒ ！
那黑sè的光霞一闪，竟与丝丝法则之力弥散而出，将这附近的虚空全部封住，对方无处可躲！
Where are there any cages that could trap me in this world?
suàn jì méi yǒu cuò ， kě hé bì yào duǒ ！
算计没有错，可何必要躲！
With one punch, the black light turned into snowflakes, dissipating in the endless void until it vanished completely.
táo wù běn tǐ jiàng lín ， gù rán mó wēi gài shì ， dàn lín xuān yě bù zài shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， ér shì jìn jiē dào le dù jié de dà néng rén wù 。
梼杌本体降临，固然魔威盖世，但林轩也不再是分神期修仙者，而是进阶到了渡劫的大能人物。
"Who is this high-ranking person?"
nà qīng sè de dà shǒu wǔ zhǐ jǐn wò ， jiāng bǎo wù zuàn zài shǒu zhōng ， yī quán hōng luò 。
那青sè的大手五指紧握，将宝物攥在手中，一拳轰落。
Talos couldn’t help but be shaken. The opponent was too formidable, angering him while also making him cautious. Although powerful enough to sweep through realm transcenders, he wasn’t invincible; there were some supreme sages who dared not provoke.
fěn suì xū kōng ， tiān dì jiān ， nǎ ér yǒu néng jiāng zì jǐ kùn zhù de láo lóng 。
粉碎虚空，天地间，哪儿有能将自己困住的牢笼。
Could such a being be here? Thinking this, Talos felt a chill run down his spine. But soon, it turned into rage as Lin Xuan had no intention of hiding. In such circumstances, there was no way to hide.
yī quán guò qù ， nà hēi sè de guāng xiá huà wèi le diǎn diǎn xuě huā ， zài wú jìn de xū kōng zhōng huī sǎ ， xiāo mó ， zhí zhì chè dǐ bú jiàn le 。
一拳过去，那黑sè的光霞化为了点点雪花，在无尽的虚空中挥洒，消磨，直至彻底不见了。
Facing the inevitable, even though Talos was strong, he wasn’t weak either. The outcome was uncertain.
“ jiū jìng shì hé fāng gāo rén ？”
“究竟是何方高人？”
If he could kill Talos here, one enemy less would be a benefit. Moreover, compared to the ancient king beast’s inner core, this one was just as good if not better.
táo wù yě bù yóu de xīn shén zhèn dòng ， duì fāng qiáng shì dé kě pà ， ràng tā fèn nù zhī yú ， yě bù yóu de xīn shēng gù jì ， tā suī rán qiáng dà ， néng gòu héng sǎo dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yě bìng fēi sān jiè wú dí ， yǒu yī xiē jué dǐng dà néng ， shì tā bù gǎn zhāo rě 。
梼杌也不由得心神震动，对方强势得可怕，让它愤怒之余，也不由得心生顾忌，它虽然强大，能够横扫渡劫期修仙者，但也并非三界无敌，有一些绝顶大能，是他不敢招惹。
Such benefits were worth risking it.
nán bù chéng nà yàng de cún zài ， jū rán zài cǐ chù ， yī niàn zhì cǐ ， táo wù yě bù yóu de sè lì nèi rěn le ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù biàn chéng le bào nù ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu cáng zhe yē zhe de yì tú ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yě gēn běn cáng bú zhù 。
难不成那样的存在，居然在此处，一念至此，梼杌也不由得sè厉内荏了，但很快，就变成了暴怒，林轩并没有藏着掖着的意图，这种情况下，也根本藏不住。

Talos!
Even Lin Xuan, with his composure, couldn't help but be taken aback. This was too unexpected; he actually met Talos again here, and it wasn’t out of the question to call them enemies meeting on a narrow road.
Lin Xuan’s eyes now held more vigilance.
Talos wasn’t a true spirit or an ancient beast, yet its bloodline was formidable beyond measure. It originated from the ancient times, with power strong enough to sweep through realms. Even great sages would be wary of it.
No one knew where Talos lived, as it could tear through the void. Legends said that it roamed between the three realms, understanding the laws of heaven and earth.
Lin Xuan and Talos were old acquaintances; in the human world, he had once slain a fragment of its soul. During his last journey to the Ice Sea Realm, they met again on a narrow road, with enemies seeing red. Lin Xuan had decapitated one of its incarnations.

A deafening roar echoed through the air, turning everything within sight into dust. Talos roared in fury, daring to interfere with its affairs and snatch its treasures. An old man hanging by his own rope—had he grown tired of life?
An overwhelming aura of malice rose into the sky, and an immense pressure spread out. With anger like a newborn devil, Talos would reduce anyone who dared to touch it to dust.
The black light flashed, emitting threads of law that sealed the nearby void, leaving no place for escape!
The plan was sound, but why hide?
Talos had descended in its true form, its power overwhelming. But Lin Xuan wasn’t a mere spirit realm cultivator; he had advanced to a realm transcender.
The green hand clenched tightly, holding onto the treasure and delivering one punch.
Where are there any cages that could trap me in this world?
With one punch, the black light turned into snowflakes, dissipating in the endless void until it vanished completely.
"Who is this high-ranking person?"
Talos couldn’t help but be shaken. The opponent was too formidable, angering him while also making him cautious. Although powerful enough to sweep through realm transcenders, he wasn’t invincible; there were some supreme sages who dared not provoke.
Could such a being be here? Thinking this, Talos felt a chill run down his spine. But soon, it turned into rage as Lin Xuan had no intention of hiding. In such circumstances, there was no way to hide.
Facing the inevitable, even though Talos was strong, he wasn’t weak either. The outcome was uncertain.
If he could kill Talos here, one enemy less would be a benefit. Moreover, compared to the ancient king beast’s inner core, this one was just as good if not better.
Such benefits were worth risking it.
