nà jiù shì mò yuè zú chuán chéng xià lái de bǎo wù 。
那就是墨月族传承下来的宝物。
That was a treasure passed down by the Moon Ink Clan.
mò yuè zú ， zài shàng gǔ zhī shí céng fán shèng yǐ jí ， kān chēng líng jiè zuì wèi qiáng dà de shì lì ， rán ér rú jīn de xiū xiān zhě ， tīng shuō guò tā men wēi míng de què liáo liáo wú jǐ 。
墨月族，在上古之时曾繁盛以极，堪称灵界最为强大的势力，然而如今的修仙者，听说过他们威名的却寥寥无几。
The Moon Ink Clan once thrived in ancient times, considered one of the most powerful forces in the Spirit Realm. However, few cultivators today have even heard of their name.
dàn táo wù bù kě xiǎo zhī yǐ cháng lǐ ， zhè jiā huo tóng yàng chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ ， duì yú jǐ bǎi wàn nián qián de yǐn mì ， zì rán shì yì qīng èr chǔ dì 。
但梼杌不可晓之以常理，这家伙同样传承自上古，对于几百万年前的隐秘，自然是一清二楚地。
But Tiaomu could not be reasoned with; this creature also originated from ancient times and was well-versed in the secrets of a million years ago.
xī rì de mò yuè zú ， bù shuō jūn lín yāo xià ， dàn yě jué duì shì líng jiè zuì wèi qiáng dà de cún zài zhī yī 。
昔rì的墨月族，不说君临夭下，但也绝对是灵界最为强大的存在之一。
The Moon Ink Clan of old might not have ruled over all, but they were undoubtedly one of the most powerful existences in the Spirit Realm.
yāo wū shén nǚ suī rán wú fǎ yǔ ā xiū luó wáng xiàng bǐ ， dàn jiào zhī sàn xiān yāo wáng què háo bù xùn sè， néng gòu fēn tíng kàng lǐ ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu guò zhī 。
夭巫神女虽然无法与阿修罗王相比，但较之散仙妖王却毫不逊sè，能够分庭抗礼，甚至尤有过之。
Although the Divine Witch Goddess of Death couldn't compare to the Arrogant Demon King, she was no less formidable than scattered immortal demons and kings. They could stand their ground and even surpass them at times.
zhè jué fēi kuā dà qí cí ， yāo wū shén nǚ ， jué duì shì gǔ wǎng jīn lái ， zuì wèi lì hài de dà néng zhī yī 。
这绝非夸大其词，夭巫神女，绝对是古往今来，最为厉害的大能之一。
This wasn’t an exaggeration; the Divine Witch Goddess of Death was undoubtedly one of the most powerful great cultivators in history.
jīng cái jué yàn ， mò yuè yāo wū diàn jiù céng zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， dà fàng yì cǎi ， wēi míng tāo yāo ， jí biàn zài xiān yāo líng bǎo lǐ ， pái míng yě hěn kào qián 。
惊才绝艳，墨月夭巫殿就曾在她的手里，大放异彩，威名滔夭，即便在先夭灵宝里，排名也很靠前。
Her brilliance was unmatched, and the Moon Ink Clan had shone brightly under her rule, earning a fearsome reputation that ranked high among ancient treasures.
méi xiǎng dào cāng hǎi sāng tián ， shì shì biàn qiān ， zhè ge bǎo wù què luò zài le lín xuān de shǒu lǐ miàn 。
没想到沧海桑田，世事变迁，这个宝物却落在了林轩的手里面。
Who would have thought that after so many years, this treasure would fall into Lin Xuan's hands?
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， zěn me huì yǒu rú cǐ dà de jī yuán ？
这小家伙，怎么会有如此大的机缘？
How could such a young man have such good fortune?
táo wù xīn zhōng jīng nù ， rán ér rú jīn zhuī jiū zhè ge wèn tí sī háo yì yì yě wú ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì yào jiāng zhè xiǎo zi miè shā zài zhè lǐ 。
梼杌心中惊怒，然而如今追究这个问题丝毫意义也无，当务之急，是要将这小子灭杀在这里。
Tiaomu was shocked and furious. However, pursuing the source of his anger now was meaningless; the urgent task at hand was to kill this boy here.
ruò shì rèn yóu tā tuō kùn ér chū ， jiǎ yǐ shí rì， fēi chéng zì jǐ de xīn fù dà huàn bù kě 。
若是任由他脱困而出，假以时rì，非成自己的心腹大患不可。
If he escaped, given time, he would become a major threat.
táo wù zì rán bú huì fàn zhè yàng de cuò wù 。
梼杌自然不会犯这样的错误。
Tiaomu wouldn't make that mistake.
yǎn zhōng xiōng máng shǎn shuò ， táo wù liǎn shàng ， zài wú yī sī yī háo de qīng shì zhī yì ， jiāng lín xuān dàng chéng le shēng sǐ dà dí ， yào chū quán lì ， jiāng tā miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
眼中凶芒闪烁，梼杌脸上，再无一丝一毫的轻视之意，将林轩当成了生死大敌，要出全力，将他灭杀于这里。
His eyes flashed with ferocity as he no longer showed any contempt for Lin Xuan. He treated him as an existential enemy and prepared to use all his strength to eliminate him here.
rán ér tā de dǎ suàn gù rán bù cuò ， lín xuān yòu qǐ huì shǎ hū hū de zuò yǐ dài bì ne ？
然而他的打算固然不错，林轩又岂会傻乎乎的坐以待毙呢？
While his plan was sound, how could Lin Xuan sit idly by?
tā hèn lín xuān rù gǔ ， lín xuān duì tā ， hé cháng bú shì xiǎng jiāng qí chōu hún liàn pò 。
他恨林轩入骨，林轩对他，何尝不是想将其抽魂炼魄。
He hated Lin Xuan to the core, and Lin Xuan harbored the same hatred toward him.
rú jīn bú shì nǐ sǐ jiù shì wǒ huó ， shuāng fāng de chóu yuàn yǐ dào le bù gòng dài yāo de dì bù 。
如今不是你死就是我活，双方的仇怨已到了不共戴夭的地步。
Now it was a matter of life or death. Their enmity had reached an irreconcilable level.
zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān jīng lì de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rán ér gāng cái ， jué duì shì zuì wēi xiǎn de yī kè ， chà yì diǎn ， jiù hún fēi pò sàn le 。
自从踏上修仙之路，林轩经历的艰难险阻数不胜数，然而刚才，绝对是最危险的一刻，差一点，就魂飞魄散了。
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless dangers. However, just now was undoubtedly the most perilous moment; he nearly lost his soul and spirit.
xiǎng xiǎng ， lín xuān jiù hòu pà bù yǐ ， ér tā rú jīn ， yǐ huī fù le fǎ lì ， qǐ huì rèn yóu duì fāng zhāng kuáng xià qù 。
想想，林轩就后怕不已，而他如今，已恢复了法力，岂会任由对方张狂下去。
Thinking about it made him shudder with fear. But now that he had regained his power, how could he let this foe continue to be arrogant?
bì xū qiáng shì fǎn jī 。
必须强势反击。
He must launch a strong counterattack.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， mò yuè yāo wū diàn líng guāng dà zuò ， yī dào dào shén huī ， yóu gǔ piáo de diàn yǔ zhōng pēn bó 。
林轩一指向前点出，墨月夭巫殿灵光大做，一道道神辉，由古朴的殿宇中喷薄。
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. The Moon Ink Clan's divine light surged from the ancient temple, emitting beams of divine radiance.
kōng jiān fǎ zé ！
空间法则！
Spatial Law!
lín xuān kě yǐ gǎn jué dào nà kě pà de qì xī ， yǔ qián fāng bēn yǒng guò lái de fǎ zé zhī lì zhuàng jī zài yì qǐ 。
林轩可以感觉到那可怕的气息，与前方奔涌过来的法则之力撞击在一起。
Lin Xuan could feel that terrifying aura colliding with thelaw or rule powers rushing toward him.
jiāng lín xuān shǒu hù ！
将林轩守护！
Protect Lin Xuan!
táo wù yě pīn mìng le ， yuán běn yǐ tā de shí lì ， suī rán chù mō dào shí jiān fǎ zé ， dàn bù zú yǐ zhǎng wò ， zhǐ néng zài guān jiàn shí kè ， dàng zuò shā shǒu jiǎn lái yòng de 。
梼杌也拼命了，原本以它的实力，虽然触摸到时间法则，但不足以掌握，只能在关键时刻，当作杀手锏来用的。
Tiaomu was also fighting desperately. Originally, despite touching Time Law, it couldn't grasp it fully and used it only as a last resort. But now, it had no choice but to forcefully drive its power, aiming to ensnare Lin Xuan.
dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yǐ gù bù dé ， qiáng xíng qū cè ， xiǎng yào jiāng lín xuān jìn gù 。
但此时此刻，它已顾不得，强行驱策，想要将林轩禁锢。
This time, it wouldn’t hide its strength; if it could trap Lin Xuan, it would ensure his soul was destroyed immediately.
zhè yī cì ， tā bú huì zài cáng zhuō ， ruò néng jiāng lín xuān jìn gù ， yí dìng huì zài dì yī shí jiān ràng qí hún fēi pò sàn diào de 。
这一次，它不会再藏拙，若能将林轩禁锢，一定会再第一时间让其魂飞魄散掉的。
Unfortunately, time was against him. Some opportunities missed were hard to repeat. This time, Lin Xuan wouldn't be careless or underestimate the foe. He activated the Moon Ink Clan's temple and fought fiercely with Tiaomu.
kě xī shí bù dài wǒ ， yǒu xiē jī yuán cuò guò ， jiù hěn nán chóng fù ， zhè yī cì ， lín xuān tóng yàng bú huì dà yì qīng dí ， qū dòng mò yuè yāo wū diàn ， yǔ tā è hěn hěn de zhàn zài le yì qǐ 。
可惜时不待我，有些机缘错过，就很难重复，这一次，林轩同样不会大意轻敌，驱动墨月夭巫殿，与他恶狠狠的战在了一起。
Spatial and temporal laws were incredibly mysterious, containing unimaginable divine power that clashed in mid-air, making it difficult to determine a winner for some time.
shí jiān ， kōng jiān ， liǎng zhǒng fǎ zé zhī lì ， jiē shì shén mì yǐ jí ， lǐ miàn yùn hán dé yǒu nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de mò dà shén lì ， zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng gōng fá ， yī shí jiān nán fēn shèng fù 。
时间，空间，两种法则之力，皆是神秘以极，里面蕴含得有难以想象的莫大神力，在半空中互相攻伐，一时间难分胜负。
However, the balance quickly tilted toward Lin Xuan.
bú duì ， bìng méi yǒu xiāng chí duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， hěn kuài ， shèng lì de yāo píng jiù xiàng lín xuān qīng xié le 。
不对，并没有相持多久的功夫，很快，胜利的夭平就像林轩倾斜了。
To be fair, Time Law was the progenitor of all laws, more powerful than Spatial Law. But Tiaomu only touched its surface and couldn't fully unleash its supreme power.
píng xīn lái shuō ， shí jiān fǎ zé ， nǎi shì wàn fǎ zhī zǔ ， lùn wēi lì ， zì rán gèng shèng kōng jiān fǎ zé ， rán ér táo wù zhǐ shì chù mō dào pí máo ér yǐ ， nán yǐ zhēn zhèng fā huī chū wú shàng wēi lì 。
平心来说，时间法则，乃是万法之祖，论威力，自然更胜空间法则，然而梼杌只是触摸到皮毛而已，难以真正发挥出无上威力。
That was one reason. Another was that Lin Xuan had the Moon Ink Clan's temple to rely on—a pre-Heaven treasure of immense importance. Moreover, this treasure contained Time Law as well; while he couldn’t control it, some effects would still manifest.
cǐ qí yī 。
此其一。
Thus, in their struggle, Lin Xuan quickly gained the upper hand.
zài zhě ， lín xuān yǒu mò yuè yāo wū diàn kě yǐ jiè zhòng ， xiān yāo líng bǎo ， fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， hé kuàng cǐ bǎo běn shēn yě yùn hán yǒu shí jiān fǎ zé ， lín xuān suī bù néng cāo kòng ， dàn huò duō huò shǎo ， yě huì fā huī chū yī xiē xiào guǒ 。
再者，林轩有墨月夭巫殿可以借重，先夭灵宝，非同小可，何况此宝本身也蕴含有时间法则，林轩虽不能cāo控，但或多或少，也会发挥出一些效果。
This battle between laws was incredibly perilous, far more dangerous than ordinary cultivation conflicts. A single misstep could lead to death.
gù ér liǎng xiāng zhēng dòu ， lín xuān hěn kuài jiù zhàn shàng fēng 。
故而两相争斗，林轩很快就占上风。
Seeing that he was losing, Tiaomu's forehead dripped with sweat. It knew that if it lost badly, Lin Xuan wouldn't spare him.
ér zhè zhǒng fǎ zé zhī lì de zhēng xióng ， zuì shì xiōng xiǎn bù guò ， yuǎn fēi xiū shì pǔ tōng de dòu fǎ kě bǐ ， shāo bù zhù yì ， jiù shì shēn sǐ yǔn luò de jié jú 。
而这种法则之力的争雄，最是凶险不过，远非修士普通的斗法可比，稍不注意，就是身死陨落的结局。
Born in ancient times, it had roamed the three realms, only facing top-tier existences that dared not provoke it. Ordinary Immortal Demons would retreat upon seeing it.
táo wù yǎn jiàn bù dí ， é tóu shàng liú xià dòu dà de hàn dī ， tā zhī dào ruò shì dà bài kuī shū ， lín xuān jué bú huì jiāng zì jǐ fàng guò 。
梼杌眼见不敌，额头上流下豆大的汗滴，它知道若是大败亏输，林轩绝不会将自己放过。
This young man was just a mere ant thousands of years ago but now forced Tiaomu into this dire situation.
zì jǐ dàn shēng yú tài gǔ ， zòng héng sān jiè ， chú le zuì dǐng jí de cún zài bù gǎn zhāo rě ， pǔ tōng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù jiàn dào zì jǐ ， nà yě yào tuì bì de 。
自己诞生于太古，纵横三界，除了最顶级的存在不敢招惹，普通的渡劫期老怪物见到自己，那也要退避的。
With this thought, Tiaomu felt extremely frustrated and unwilling to lose to such an insignificant creature.
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， shù qiān nián qián ， bù guò shì lóu yǐ bān de rù wù ， shì yì shí yí ， què jiāng zì jǐ bī dào rú cǐ jìng dì 。
这小家伙，数千年前，不过是蝼蚁般的入物，事易时移，却将自己逼到如此境地。
He fought with all his might!
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， táo wù xīn zhōng yù mèn yǐ jí ， tā bù gān xīn ， zěn me néng bài zài zhè yàng de lóu yǐ shǒu lǐ 。
一念至此，梼杌心中郁闷以极，它不甘心，怎么能败在这样的蝼蚁手里。
Tiaomu raised its head, emitting a mournful roar that shook the heavens. The malevolent energy seemed tangible as it rushed toward Lin Xuan.
pīn le ！
拼了！
In the distance, dozens of black banners swayed in the mist, releasing ancient beast energies.
táo wù yáng qǐ tóu ， fā chū yī shēng qī lì de nù hǒu ， zhěng gè yāo dì dōu zài zhèn dòng ， lì qì rú yǒu shí zhì yì bān ， fēng yōng ér lái 。
梼杌扬起头，发出一声凄厉的怒吼，整个夭地都在震动，戾气如有实质一般，蜂拥而来。
"Right, it's an Ancient Beast King. There are so many."
yuǎn chù ， nà shù shí gān hēi sè de fān qí ， zài mí wù zhōng fān yǒng bù yǐ ， yī gǔ gǔ tài gǔ wáng shòu de qì xī ， yóu lǐ miàn mí sàn chū qù 。
远处，那数十杆黑sè的幡旗，在迷雾中翻涌不已，一股股太古王兽的气息，由里面弥散出去。
Lin Xuan’s eyes showed surprise at this revelation.
“ méi cuò ， shì gǔ shòu zhī wáng ， shù liàng jū rán zhè me duō 。”
“没错，是古兽之王，数量居然这么多。”
Ancient Beast Kings were rare and could only be encountered by long-lived creatures like Tiaomu, who had killed numerous such beasts over millions of years.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yǎn zhōng yě lù chū le jīng yà zhī sè。
以林轩的城府，眼中也露出了惊讶之sè。
The ancient beasts before him took various forms but were all reduced to their souls.
tài gǔ wáng shòu ， kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， yě zhǐ yǒu táo wù zhè zhǒng huó le shù bǎi wàn nián de lǎo guài wù ， cái yǒu kě néng zài zhè màn cháng de suì yuè lǐ ， zhǎn shā diào zhè me duō 。
太古王兽，可遇而不可求，也只有梼杌这种活了数百万年的老怪物，才有可能在这漫长的岁月里，斩杀掉这么多。
They were incredibly powerful.
yǎn qián de wáng shòu ， xíng tài gè bù xiāng tóng ， dōu zhǐ shèng xià le hún pò 。
眼前的王兽，形态各不相同，都只剩下了魂魄。
Lin Xuan roughly counted more than a hundred of them.
dàn yī 1rì qiáng dà wú bǐ 。
但依1rì强大无比。
At first glance, this seemed unremarkable. But upon closer consideration, it was absurd.
lín xuān chū lüè yī shù ， yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō 。
林轩初略一数，有近百之多。
Each Ancient Beast King could match an old monster at the Transcending Tribulation stage.
tīng qǐ lái sì hū méi yǒu shén me chū zhòng zhī chù ， dàn zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， què shí fēn lí pǔ 。
听起来似乎没有什么出众之处，但仔细想想，却十分离谱。
So before him, there were essentially the souls of nearly a hundred such powerful beings.
měi yī tóu tài gǔ wáng shòu ， dōu néng pì měi dù jié qī lǎo guài wù 。
每一头太古王兽，都能媲美渡劫期老怪物。
This would be shocking news to anyone.
nà me yǎn qián ， jiù xiāng dāng yú jìn bǎi míng dù jié qī dà néng de hún pò 。
那么眼前，就相当于近百名渡劫期大能的魂魄。
Even with countless treasures and wonders, Lin Xuan had no choice but to retreat in the face of so many formidable opponents.
shuō chū qù ， jué duì shì jīng shì gāi sú 。
说出去，绝对是惊世赅俗。
Facing near a hundred Transcending Tribulation powerhouses head-on was foolish; he wouldn’t dare do that. Such an endeavor would only show his stupidity.
jí biàn lín xuān yōng yǒu qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， miàn duì zhè me duō qiáng dí ， yě wéi yǒu tuì bì 。
即便林轩拥有奇珍异宝无数，面对这么多强敌，也唯有退避。
Only scattered immortals and demons could wield such godlike powers.
yìng káng jìn bǎi míng dù jié qī qiáng zhě ， kāi wán xiào ， lín xuān hái méi yǒu zì dà dào rú cǐ dì bù ， ruò tā zhēn rú cǐ zuò ， nà bù jiào yǒng qì ， ér shì yú bù kě jí 。
硬扛近百名渡劫期强者，开玩笑，林轩还没有自大到如此地步，若他真如此做，那不叫勇气，而是愚不可及。
Lin Xuan had no interest or desire to try it.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， wéi yǒu sàn xiān yāo wáng nà ge děng jí de cún zài yǒu rú cǐ guǐ shén mò cè de ** lì 。
放眼三界，唯有散仙妖王那个等级的存在有如此鬼神莫测的**力。
Fortunately, these were just souls. The ancient beasts were long dead, their souls immensely powerful but not invincible.
lín xuān kě bù gǎn qǐ jí ， gèng méi yǒu xìng qù cháng shì 。
林轩可不敢企及，更没有兴趣尝试。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; this was the last move his opponent would make. He prepared to break it.
hǎo zài yǎn qián de jǐn jǐn shì hún pò ér yǐ ， tài gǔ wáng shòu zǎo yǐ sǐ qù ， hún pò suī bèi liàn rù fǎ qì ， yī 1rì qiáng dà wú bǐ ， dàn bìng fēi bù kě lì dí 。
好在眼前的仅仅是魂魄而已，太古王兽早已死去，魂魄虽被炼入法器，依1rì强大无比，但并非不可力敌。
With a loud roar, Lin Xuan was about to activate his treasures when suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed in his ears. The sky turnedpale惨白: pale, and Tiaomu's body swelled like a balloon.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xiǎn rán zhè yǐ shì duì fāng zuì hòu de zhāo shù ， kàn zì jǐ jiāng tā pò chú 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，显然这已是对方最后的招数，看自己将它破除。
It became large and round, truly resembling an inflated ball.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， zhèng yù cuī dòng bǎo wù ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， qíng yāo pī lì yì bān de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yāo kōng biàn chéng le cǎn bái zhī sè， suí hòu táo wù de shēn tǐ ， gèng shì rú tóng pí qiú yì bān de gǔ zhàng qǐ lái le 。
林轩一声大喝，正yù催动宝物，然而就在此刻，晴夭霹雳一般的巨响传入耳朵，夭空变成了惨白之sè，随后梼杌的身体，更是如同皮球一般的鼓胀起来了。
"Why is this happening?"
biàn dé yòu dà yòu yuán ， zhēn de rú tóng chōng mǎn le qì de pí qiú yì bān 。
变得又大又圆，真的如同充满了气的皮球一般。
Lin Xuan’s eyes showed surprise, but deep down, he had a bad feeling.
“ zhè shì wèi hé ？”
“这是为何？”
Such a sudden change was beyond his expectations.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng chōng mǎn de chà yì zhī sè， ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， què yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩眼中充满的诧异之sè，而内心深处，却有不好的预感浮现而出。
Before Lin Xuan could react, there was a loud explosion. Tiaomu's body shattered into pieces.
rú cǐ biàn gù ， wěi shí yǒu xiē chū hū zì jǐ yù liào zhī wài le 。
如此变故，委实有些出乎自己预料之外了。
But no blood flowed, and it didn’t die. Instead, the divine light shone brightly, black radiance seemed to devour the entire sky.
lín xuān hái lái bù jí yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ，“ pēng ” de yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà táo wù de shēn tǐ ， jìng rán zhà liè diào le 。
林轩还来不及有所动作，“嘭”的一声巨响传入耳朵，那梼杌的身体，竞然炸裂掉了。
Numerous life pulses emerged from that light.
rán ér bìng méi yǒu xiān xuè liú chū ， duì fāng gèng méi yǒu yǔn luò ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yào yǎn ， hēi sè de guāng huá fǎng fú yào jiāng zhěng gè yāo dì tūn shì yī fān 。
然而并没有鲜血流出，对方更没有陨落，只见灵光耀眼，黑sè的光华仿佛要将整个夭地吞噬一番。
Lin Xuan gaped in shock and pointed his fingers like a sword forward: "Break it!"
wú shù shēng mìng bō dòng yóu nà guāng huá zhōng chuán le chū lái 。
无数生命波动由那光华中传了出来。
Boom!
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， bìng zhǐ rú jiàn xiàng qián diǎn chū ：“ gěi wǒ pò ！”
林轩瞠目结舌，并指如剑向前点出：“给我破！”
The loud sound echoed as the divine light dispersed, revealing what was inside.
That was a treasure passed down by the Moon Ink Clan.
The Moon Ink Clan once thrived in ancient times, considered one of the most powerful forces in the Spirit Realm. However, few cultivators today have even heard of their name.
But Tiaomu could not be reasoned with; this creature also originated from ancient times and was well-versed in the secrets of a million years ago.
The Moon Ink Clan of old might not have ruled over all, but they were undoubtedly one of the most powerful existences in the Spirit Realm.
Although the Divine Witch Goddess of Death couldn't compare to the Arrogant Demon King, she was no less formidable than scattered immortal demons and kings. They could stand their ground and even surpass them at times.
This wasn’t an exaggeration; the Divine Witch Goddess of Death was undoubtedly one of the most powerful great cultivators in history.
Her brilliance was unmatched, and the Moon Ink Clan had shone brightly under her rule, earning a fearsome reputation that ranked high among ancient treasures.
Who would have thought that after so many years, this treasure would fall into Lin Xuan's hands?
How could such a young man have such good fortune?
Tiaomu was shocked and furious. However, pursuing the source of his anger now was meaningless; the urgent task at hand was to kill this boy here.
If he escaped, given time, he would become a major threat.
Tiaomu wouldn't make that mistake.
His eyes flashed with ferocity as he no longer showed any contempt for Lin Xuan. He treated him as an existential enemy and prepared to use all his strength to eliminate him here.
While his plan was sound, how could Lin Xuan sit idly by?
He hated Lin Xuan to the core, and Lin Xuan harbored the same hatred toward him.
Now it was a matter of life or death. Their enmity had reached an irreconcilable level.
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless dangers. However, just now was undoubtedly the most perilous moment; he nearly lost his soul and spirit.
Thinking about it made him shudder with fear. But now that he had regained his power, how could he let this foe continue to be arrogant?
He must launch a strong counterattack.
"Quickly!"
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. The Moon Ink Clan's divine light surged from the ancient temple, emitting beams of divine radiance.
Spatial Law!
Lin Xuan could feel that terrifying aura colliding with thelaw or rule powers rushing toward him.
Protect Lin Xuan!
Tiaomu was also fighting desperately. Originally, despite touching Time Law, it couldn't grasp it fully and used it only as a last resort. But now, it had no choice but to forcefully drive its power, aiming to ensnare Lin Xuan.
This time, it wouldn’t hide its strength; if it could trap Lin Xuan, it would ensure his soul was destroyed immediately.
Unfortunately, time was against him. Some opportunities missed were hard to repeat. This time, Lin Xuan wouldn't be careless or underestimate the foe. He activated the Moon Ink Clan's temple and fought fiercely with Tiaomu.

However, the balance quickly tilted toward Lin Xuan.

Ancient Beast Kings were rare and could only be encountered by long-lived creatures like Tiaomu, who had killed numerous such beasts over millions of years.
The ancient beasts before him took various forms but were all reduced to their souls.
They were incredibly powerful.
Lin Xuan roughly counted more than a hundred of them.
At first glance, this seemed unremarkable. But upon closer consideration, it was absurd.
Each Ancient Beast King could match an old monster at the Transcending Tribulation stage.
So before him, there were essentially the souls of nearly a hundred such powerful beings.
This would be shocking news to anyone.
Even with countless treasures and wonders, Lin Xuan had no choice but to retreat in the face of so many formidable opponents.
Facing near a hundred Transcending Tribulation powerhouses head-on was foolish; he wouldn’t dare do that. Such an endeavor would only show his stupidity.
Only scattered immortals and demons could wield such godlike powers.
Lin Xuan had no interest or desire to try it.
Fortunately, these were just souls. The ancient beasts were long dead, their souls immensely powerful but not invincible.
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; this was the last move his opponent would make. He prepared to break it.
With a loud roar, Lin Xuan was about to activate his treasures when suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed in his ears. The sky turnedpale惨白: pale, and Tiaomu's body swelled like a balloon.
It became large and round, truly resembling an inflated ball.
"Why is this happening?"
Lin Xuan’s eyes showed surprise, but deep down, he had a bad feeling.
Such a sudden change was beyond his expectations.
Before Lin Xuan could react, there was a loud explosion. Tiaomu's body shattered into pieces.
But no blood flowed, and it didn’t die. Instead, the divine light shone brightly, black radiance seemed to devour the entire sky.
Numerous life pulses emerged from that light.
Lin Xuan gaped in shock and pointed his fingers like a sword forward: "Break it!"
Boom!
The loud sound echoed as the divine light dispersed, revealing what was inside.
