bsp; duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
bsp; 躲无可躲。
He could no longer avoid the situation.
yìng káng gèng bú shì míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
硬扛更不是明智的选择。
Forcing his way through with two fists was not a wise choice either.
sú huà shuō shuāng quán nán dí sì shǒu 。
俗话说双拳难敌四手。
As they say, two hands can't hold off four.
hé kuàng yǎn qián de gǔ shòu dōu bú shì ruò zhě ， quán shì wú xiàn jiē jìn dù jié qī de cún zài ， yuǎn shèng guò fēn shén qī de xiū xiān zhě ， qí zhōng zuì qiáng dà de jǐ gè ， shèn zhì bù bǐ zhēn zhèng de dù jié lǎo zǔ xùn sè。
何况眼前的古兽都不是弱者，全是无限接近渡劫期的存在，远胜过分神期的修仙者，其中最强大的几个，甚至不比真正的渡劫老祖逊sè。
Moreover, none of these ancient beasts were weaklings. They all approached the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, far surpassing ordinary Spirit Cultivators at the Profound Divinity stage. The strongest among them were no less formidable than true Tribulation Transcendents.
miàn duì zhè yàng de qiáng dí ， lín xuān néng jiān chí dào xiàn zài yǐ hěn liǎo bù qǐ 。
面对这样的强敌，林轩能坚持到现在已很了不起。
Facing such powerful enemies, Lin Xuan's persistence to this point was already commendable.
rán ér rén lì yǒu shí ér qióng ， tā xiàn zài yǐ jīng shì jí xiàn le 。
然而人力有时而穷，他现在已经是极限了。
However, human strength has its limits. He had reached his limit now.
chā jù shí zài tài dà le ， jiù suàn yǒu xiān tiān líng bǎo ， yě wú fǎ mí bǔ 。
差距实在太大了，就算有先天灵宝，也无法弥补。
The gap between them was too great; even with先天灵宝, it couldn't make up for the difference.
zài nà jǐ tóu gǔ shòu de wéi gōng zhōng ， lín xuān zuǒ zhī yòu chù ， gēn běn jiù shì pí yú yìng fù 。
在那几头古兽的围攻中，林轩左支右绌，根本就是疲于应付。
In that fierce attack by the ancient beasts, Lin Xuan struggled on all sides, barely managing to fend off their blows.
yī kǒu kǒu xiān xuè yóu zuǐ bā zhōng pēn bó ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià ， zǎo yǐ shì shāng hén biàn bù ， shuō hún shēn yù xuè ， yě bù wèi guò 。
一口口鲜血由嘴巴中喷薄，林轩浑身上下，早已是伤痕遍布，说浑身浴血，也不为过。
Blood spewed from his mouth, and his entire body was covered in wounds. He might as well have been bathed in blood.
zhào zhè yàng xià qù ， jù lí bài wáng yě bù yuǎn le 。 . .
照这样下去，距离败亡也不远了。 . .
If this continued, he would be close to defeat soon.
lín xuān yǎng tiān nù hǒu ， nán dào zhēn yǐ huí tiān fá shù 。
林轩仰天怒吼，难道真已回天乏术。
Lin Xuan roared into the sky, wondering if there was no hope left for him.
yī xì mù zhǎng líng de huǒ niǎo chōng tiān ér qǐ ， què shì lín xuān qiáng xíng jiāng zhū què huán fǎ bǎo jì chū 。
一细目长翎的火鸟冲天而起，却是林轩强行将朱雀环法宝祭出。
A fiery phoenix with a slender tail shot up towards the heavens, which was Lin Xuan forcefully summoning the Vermilion Bird Ring as a treasure.
jí biàn tā de fǎ lì yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ kè yě bīn yú gān hé ， liǎng jiàn xiān tiān líng bǎo ， zài jiā zhū què huán ， yā lì shí zài tài dà le 。
即便他的法力远胜同阶修仙者，此刻也濒于干涸，两件先天灵宝，再加朱雀环，压力实在太大了。
Even though his cultivation power far exceeded that of ordinary Spirit Cultivators at this level, he was now on the brink of exhaustion. With two先天灵宝 and the Vermilion Bird Ring, the pressure was immense.
ruò shì zhèng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， lín xuān bú huì zhè me zuò ， dàn cǐ kè ， tā yī qiè dōu huō chū qù le 。
若是正常情况下，林轩不会这么做，但此刻，他一切都豁出去了。
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan wouldn't have done this, but now, he had nothing left to lose.
lín xuān bù yuàn yì yǔn luò ， zhǎn shā táo wù xiǎn rán shì bù kě néng de ， tā xiàn zài zhǐ xī wàng shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
林轩不愿意陨落，斩杀梼杌显然是不可能的，他现在只希望杀出一条血路。
Lin Xuan didn't want to die, nor could he hope to kill Tiaomu. His only wish was to carve out a path through blood and gore.
huà shēn wàn qiān ， chuán shuō shì xiān jiè de mì shù ， shí zài tài kě pà le ， lín xuān zì cóng jìn jiē dù jié qī ， hái méi chī guò zhè zhǒng kǔ ， guǒ rán bù néng xiǎo kàn tiān xià yīng xióng 。
化身万千，传说是仙界的秘术，实在太可怕了，林轩自从进阶渡劫期，还没吃过这种苦，果然不能小看天下英雄。
The technique of myriad manifestations was said to be a secret from the Celestial Realm, terrifyingly powerful. Lin Xuan hadn't experienced such hardships since entering the Tribulation Transcendence stage; indeed, one couldn't underestimate heroes in this world.
dàn xiàn zài shuō shén me dōu wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， wéi yǒu yī zhàn 。
但现在说什么都为时已晚，唯有一战。
But it was too late now. There could only be one battle.
zhū què de hún pò fàng chū ， zòng héng bǎi hé ， hěn yǒu pì nì tiān xià de qì gài ， tā yuán běn jiù shì zuì wèi qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī ， lùn shí lì ， lòu mài ， zì rán dōu gèng shèng guò tài gǔ wáng shòu 。
朱雀的魂魄放出，纵横捭阖，很有睥睨天下的气概，它原本就是最为强大的真灵之一，论实力，陋脉，自然都更胜过太古王兽。
The soul of the Vermilion Bird was released, moving freely and with a grand air, as if it dominated the entire world. It was originally one of the most powerful true spirits, far surpassing ancient kings of beasts in terms of power and strength.
lín xuān yā lì zhòu jiǎn ， rán ér hǎo jǐng bù cháng ， zhū què suī qiáng 。 yī jiù shì shuāng quán nán dí sì shǒu 。 hěn kuài bèi jǐ tóu qiáng dà de gǔ shòu wéi zhù ， lín xuān chóng xīn wēi jī sì fú 。
林轩压力骤减，然而好景不长，朱雀虽强。依旧是双拳难敌四手。很快被几头强大的古兽围住，林轩重新危机四伏。
Lin Xuan's pressure decreased significantly. However, good times didn't last long. Despite its formidable nature, the Vermilion Bird still couldn't match four hands against two. Soon, it was surrounded by several powerful ancient beasts, and Lin Xuan found himself once again under threat.
shí jiān màn màn guò qù ， zhàn dòu yī jiù zài chí xù ， qiě jī liè chéng dù yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， yǒu zēng wú jiǎn 。
时间慢慢过去，战斗依旧在持续，且激烈程度与刚刚相比，有增无减。
Time passed slowly as the battle continued with increasing intensity compared to before.
zhè yī zhàn dǎ dé xīng hé pò suì ，rì yuè dào xuán ， lín xuān shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù 。 yī jiù wú fǎ tuō kùn ér chū 。
这一战打得星河破碎，rì月倒悬，林轩使尽浑身解数。依旧无法脱困而出。
This fight shattered stars and inverted day and night. Lin Xuan used all his strength but could not escape.
yí gè hēi hū hū de rén yǐng bèi dǎ fēi le chū qù ， nà shì lín xuān de shēn nèi huà shēn ， xiōng kǒu yī wǎn dà de shāng kǒu ， ruò shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， zǎo yǐ yǔn luò ， dàn lín xuān de huà shēn 。 shì yào líng zhī tǐ ， shāng kǒu méi yǒu xuè huā fēi jiàn ér chū ， wéi jiàn dà dào de qì xī zài xiū bǔ ， hěn kuài ， jiù yù hé rú chū 。
一个黑乎乎的人影被打飞了出去，那是林轩的身内化身，胸口一碗大的伤口，若是一般的修仙者，早已陨落，但林轩的化身。是药灵之体，伤口没有血花飞溅而出，唯见大道的气息在修补，很快，就愈合如初。
A black figure was sent flying. It was Lin Xuan's inner manifestation, with a wound the size of a bowl in its chest. If it were an ordinary Spirit Cultivator, he would have already perished, but Lin Xuan's manifestation was made from a Spirit Herb Body, and no blood spurted out; only the aura of the Way began to mend the wound, quickly healing it.
dàn yě bù kě néng fēn háo xiāo hào yě wú ， liǎn sè gèng cāng bái le ， qiě tā bèi gèng duō de gǔ shòu wéi zhù 。
但也不可能分毫消耗也无，脸sè更苍白了，且他被更多的古兽围住。
But there could be no consumption either. His face turned even paler as more ancient beasts surrounded him.
zhì yú lín xuān zhè biān ， qíng shì gèng jiā wēi jī 。 yǐ shī zhǎn chū jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de mì shù 。 jiǔ tóu shí bā bì ， jiē yùn hán zhe dào de qì xī 。 jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， kě yǐ pò suì tiān dì ， kě zài gǔ shòu de wéi gōng xià ， què láng bèi wú bǐ 。
至于林轩这边，情势更加危机。已施展出九天神罗相的秘术。九头十八臂，皆蕴含着道的气息。举手投足，可以破碎天地，可在古兽的围攻下，却狼狈无比。
On Lin Xuan's side, the situation was even more dire. He had already unleashed the secret technique Nine Heaven Divine Net, with nine heads and eighteen arms, all imbued with the aura of the Way. Every move shattered the heavens and earth, but under the attack from these ancient beasts, he was in a desperate state.
jù yuán yī quán dǎ lái ， lín xuān zhèng yǔ niú mó gǔ shòu jiào lì ， lái bù jí duǒ ， kǒu zhōng pēn chū yī tuán xuè wù 。
巨猿一拳打来，林轩正与牛魔古兽较力，来不及躲，口中喷出一团血雾。
A giant ape punched him. Lin Xuan was locked in combat with a bull-like ancient beast and couldn't dodge. A blood mist spewed from his mouth as his chest was nearly penetrated.
xiōng kǒu jī hū bèi dǎ chuān diào le ， dòu fǎ dào zhè yī bù ， tā yǐ bù zhī dào āi le duō shǎo zhòng jī ， qiáng rú tā de shēn tǐ ， yě yǒu xiē chéng shòu bú zhù ， kuài yào bēng tā diào le 。
胸口几乎被打穿掉了，斗法到这一步，他已不知道挨了多少重击，强如他的身体，也有些承受不住，快要崩塌掉了。
He had endured countless heavy blows by now; even though his body was strong, it was starting to give way under the strain.
dàn lín xuān yī jiù zài jiān chí ， dào le zhè yī bù ， zì jǐ yǐ méi yǒu shén me jī huì tuō kùn ér chū ， dàn lín xuān bú huì fàng qì ， jiù suàn yǔn luò ， yě yí dìng yào lā shàng táo wù péi zàng de 。
但林轩依旧在坚持，到了这一步，自己已没有什么机会脱困而出，但林轩不会放弃，就算陨落，也一定要拉上梼杌陪葬的。
But Lin Xuan still persisted. At this point, he had no chance of escaping. He wouldn't give up, not even if he died, for he wanted Tiaomu to join him in death.
lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le bù shě ， yuè ér ， qín xīn ， yuàn yuàn ， zì jǐ bù néng qù xún zhǎo tā men le 。
林轩心中充满了不舍，月儿，琴心，媛媛，自己不能去寻找她们了。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with reluctance. Moon, Heart Refinement, and YuanYuan, he couldn't go looking for them anymore.
tā bù xiǎng fàng qì ， dàn yì diǎn xī wàng yě wú ， dí rén tài duō ， tài qiáng dà le ， bié shuō tā ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo zǔ yǔ qí yì dì ér chǔ ， yě huì shì yǐn hèn de jié guǒ 。
他不想放弃，但一点希望也无，敌人太多，太强大了，别说他，就算是渡劫后期的老祖与其易地而处，也会是饮恨的结果。
He didn't want to give up, but there was no hope. There were too many enemies, all too powerful. Even if it were a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence Elder, they would still end in defeat.
lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ shì wú kě xuǎn zé ， shèn zhì gēn běn lái bù jí xiǎng me duō ， cóng lái méi yǒu miàn duì guò rú cǐ duō de qiáng dí ， cóng lái méi yǒu zhì shēn yú zhè yàng de jué dì ， chú le zhàn ， shén me dōu lái bù jí sī suǒ ， xiān xuè cóng tā shēn shàng sǎ luò 。
林轩现在已是无可选择，甚至根本来不及想么多，从来没有面对过如此多的强敌，从来没有置身于这样的绝地，除了战，什么都来不及思索，鲜血从他身上洒落。
Lin Xuan had no choice now; he could barely think about anything with so many formidable foes and being trapped in such an absolute predicament. All that mattered was fighting until the very end. Blood continued to spill from his body.
hái néng jiān chí duō jiǔ ne ？
还能坚持多久呢？
How much longer could he hold on?
lín xuān zì jǐ yě bù xiǎo de ， yě xǔ xià yī kè ， tā jiù huì chè dǐ yǔn luò 。
林轩自己也不晓得，也许下一刻，他就会彻底陨落。
Lin Xuan didn't know, maybe he would fall at any moment.
dàn lín xuān yī jiù yì wú fǎn gù ， shēng mìng bù xī ， zhàn dòu bù zhǐ ， zěn me néng xiàng táo wù qū fú ， zì jǐ ruò shì yǔn luò ， yě jué bú huì ràng tā hǎo guò 。
但林轩依旧义无返顾，生命不息，战斗不止，怎么能像梼杌屈服，自己若是陨落，也绝不会让它好过。
But Lin Xuan still charged forward without hesitation. Life or death, battle or not. He wouldn't bow down like Tiaomu; if he died, it would be a fight to the end for him too.
lín xuān yòu yī cì bèi dǎ fēi diào le 。
林轩又一次被打飞掉了。
Lin Xuan was sent flying again.
hēi yǐng yī shǎn ， yī tóu gǔ shòu pū dào le tā de miàn qián ， yǔ qí tā de gǔ shòu shēn xíng páng bó xiāng bǐ ， zhè jiā huo xiǎn de tài ǎi le yī xiē 。
黑影一闪，一头古兽扑到了他的面前，与其他的古兽身形磅礴相比，这家伙显得太矮了一些。
A black figure flashed by, and an ancient beast pounced in front of him. Compared to the other ancient beasts with imposing figures, this one seemed much shorter—only three feet tall—and its appearance was extremely ugly. It might as well be described as a厉鬼 from the阴司 realm.
gāo bù guò sān chǐ ， róng mào chǒu lòu yǐ jí ， shuō shì gǔ shòu ， bù rú jiǎng chéng yīn sī jiè de lì guǐ gèng xíng xiàng yī xiē 。
高不过三尺，容貌丑陋以极，说是古兽，不如讲成yīn司界的厉鬼更形象一些。
However, it was undoubtedly an ancient king of beasts—a Naga Beast, incredibly powerful. In its hand was a strange weapon, dark in color and resembling a trident, radiating a terrifying glow that plunged towards Lin Xuan's chest.
rán ér tā què shí shì tài gǔ wáng shòu wú yí ， yè chā shòu ， shí lì qiáng hèng wú bǐ ， shǒu zhōng ná zhe yī gǔ guài de bīng qì ， zuò yǒu hēi sè， xíng zhuàng yǔ yú chā xiāng chà fǎng fú ， shǎn shuò zhe lìng rén xīn jì de guāng zé ， hěn hěn xiàng lín xuān xiōng kǒu cì luò 。
然而它确实是太古王兽无疑，夜叉兽，实力强横无比，手中拿着一古怪的兵器，做黝黑sè，形状与鱼叉相差仿佛，闪烁着令人心悸的光泽，狠狠像林轩胸口刺落。
This time, there was no way to dodge. Lin Xuan had heard various legends about the Naga Beast's power; if it pierced his heart with this weapon, even an immortal couldn't survive.
zhè yī cì ， lín xuān duǒ wú kě duǒ ， ér yè chā shòu de kě pà ， tā yě céng tīng guò gè zhǒng gè yàng de chuán shuō ， ruò shì bèi tā yòng bīng qì cì pò xīn zàng ， jiù suàn xiān rén ， yě bié xiǎng huó 。
这一次，林轩躲无可躲，而夜叉兽的可怕，他也曾听过各种各样的传说，若是被它用兵器刺破心脏，就算仙人，也别想活。
But he lacked the strength to avoid it now.
kě zì jǐ xiàn zài què méi yǒu lì liàng duǒ 。
可自己现在却没有力量躲。
It's over!
dào cǐ wéi zhǐ le ！
到此为止了！
Lin Xuan sighed, no longer hesitating. The only thing he could do was self-destruct his essence and demon core together.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， bù zài chí yí ， tā xiàn zài wéi yī néng zuò de ， jiù shì zì bào yuán yīng 。
林轩叹了口气，不再迟疑，他现在唯一能做的，就是自爆元婴。
This was his last choice. The power of dual essences and a single pill exploding would be enough to drag Tiaomu down with him into hell.
zhè shì zuì hòu de xuǎn zé ， shuāng yīng yī dān zì bào de wēi lì ， zú gòu tuō shàng táo wù yì qǐ xià dì yù 。
这是最后的选择，双婴一丹自爆的威力，足够拖上梼杌一起下地狱。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with reluctance. His beloved women were still unknown whereabouts.
lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le bù shě ， zì jǐ xīn ài de nǚ zǐ hái bù zhī dào zài hé chù 。
林轩心中充满了不舍，自己心爱的女子还不知道在何处。
Decades of hard work, the path to immortality had ended here.
shù qiān nián de xīn kǔ ， xiān lù què zhǐ zài le cǐ chù 。
数千年的辛苦，仙路却止在了此处。
But this was inevitable; cultivation was full of hardships. As long as one hadn't reached the peak of flying through clouds and ascending, any existence could perish at any moment—immortals or demon kings included.
dàn zhè yě shì wú fǎ kě xiǎng de ， xiū xiān běn jiù duō kǎn kě ， zhǐ yào gāi méi yǒu dào jǔ xiá fēi shēng de yī kè ， rèn hé cún zài dōu kě néng yǔn luò ， jiù suàn sàn xiān yāo wáng nà ge děng jiē de cún zài yě bù néng miǎn sú 。
但这也是无法可想的，修仙本就多坎坷，只要该没有到举霞飞升的一刻，任何存在都可能陨落，就算散仙妖王那个等阶的存在也不能免俗。
Yet his heart harbored so much dissatisfaction and hope.
zhǐ shì zì jǐ de xīn zhōng ， zhēn de yǒu tài duō de bù gān yǔ qī pàn 。
只是自己的心中，真的有太多的不甘与期盼。
"Should I have known better than to come to this ancient wasteland?"
“ zǎo zhī dào ， jiù bù lái zhè huāng mò gǔ dì 。”
“早知道，就不来这荒漠古地。”
Lin Xuan sighed, realizing he had no time left. He activated his cultivation power, preparing for the self-destruction of his essence and demon core, but then something unexpected happened.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， zài dān gē xià qù jiāng lái bù jí ， yú shì tā yǐn dòng fǎ lì ， zhǔn bèi ràng yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān yì qǐ zì bào le qù ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
林轩叹了口气，再耽搁下去将来不及，于是他引动法力，准备让元婴与妖丹一起自爆了去，然而就在这时，异变突起。
The Naga Beast flew mid-air and suddenly vanished without a trace.
nà yè chā shòu fēi dào zhōng tú ， jū rán zì jǐ xiāo shī 。
那夜叉兽飞到中途，居然自己消失。
Yes, it vanished; there was no sign beforehand, just gone into thin air.
méi cuò ， xiāo shī ， shì xiān bàn fēn zhēng zhào yě wú ， jiù zhè yàng píng kōng bú jiàn diào le 。
没错，消失，事先半分征兆也无，就这样凭空不见掉了。
Lin Xuan couldn't help being stunned. At this moment, with victory in hand, the other party had no reason to resort to underhanded tactics. Such thoughts suggested something unexpected might be happening.
lín xuān bù yóu de yī dāi ， duì fāng zhè shí hòu yǐ shèng quàn zài wò ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu méi yǒu bì yào zài shuǎ shén me yīn móu guǐ jì ， rú cǐ sī suǒ ， duō bàn shì yǒu shén me biàn gù 。
林轩不由得一呆，对方这时候已胜券在握，于情于理，都没有必要再耍什么yīn谋诡计，如此思索，多半是有什么变故。
Although he didn't know the cause, Lin Xuan stopped his self-destruction; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn't allow himself to dissipate into nothingness.
suī rán yuán yīn bù xiǎo de ， dàn lín xuān yǐ jiāng zì bào tíng zhù ， zhǐ yào yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī ， tā zěn me yuàn yì hún fēi pò sàn le qù 。
虽然原因不晓得，但林轩已将自爆停住，只要有一线生机，他怎么愿意魂飞魄散了去。
The scene that followed left Lin Xuan pleasantly surprised.
ér jiē xià lái de qíng jǐng ， ràng lín xuān jīng xǐ 。
而接下来的情景，让林轩惊喜。
Not only did the Naga Beast vanish, but the giant ape beside it also disappeared. Soon, the bull-like ancient beast and the giant lion vanished one by one.
bù zhǐ shì nà yè chā shòu xiāo shī ， yī páng de jù yuán yě shī qù le zōng jì ， suí hòu niú mó ， jù shī ， yí gè yí gè de xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
不止是那夜叉兽消失，一旁的巨猿也失去了踪迹，随后牛魔，巨狮，一个一个的消失不见了。
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, but soon his face lit up with joy.
lín xuān kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， dàn hěn kuài liǎn shàng jiù lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè。
林轩看得瞠目结舌，但很快脸上就露出狂喜之sè。
"I understand!"
“ wǒ míng bái le ！”
“我明白了！”
He couldn't help letting out a light exclamation; truly, when all seems lost, there's always a way forward.
tā rěn bú zhù yī shēng qīng hū ， zhēn shì shān qióng shuǐ jìn yí wú lù ， liǔ àn huā míng yòu yī cūn 。
他忍不住一声轻忽，真是山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。
The technique of myriad manifestations Tiaomu had used was incredibly powerful, a secret from the Celestial Realm. But because it was too powerful for his strength, even勉强施展也会有许多瑕疵与漏洞。
táo wù shī zhǎn chū lái de huà shēn wàn qiān de mì shù què shì qiáng dà wú bǐ ， nǎi xiān jiā mì shù ， kě zhèng yīn wèi tài qiáng dà le ， yǐ tā de shí lì ， gēn běn jiù bù gòu gé ， jí shǐ miǎn qiǎng shī zhǎn ， yě huì yǒu xǔ duō xiá cī yǔ lòu dòng 。
梼杌施展出来的化身万千的秘术却是强大无比，乃仙家秘术，可正因为太强大了，以他的实力，根本就不够格，即使勉强施展，也会有许多瑕疵与漏洞。
比如化身万千，但他只幻化出了近百个。而且这还不是最糟糕的，此仙术消耗极大，即使对Tiaomu来说也难以维持多久。
bǐ rú shuō huà shēn wàn qiān ， dàn tā bù guò huàn huà chū le jìn bǎi gè ， ér qiě zhè hái bú shì zuì zāo gāo de ， cǐ xiān shù de xiāo hào fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jí shǐ táo wù ， yě jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu 。
比如说化身万千，但他不过幻化出了近百个，而且这还不是最糟糕的，此仙术的消耗非同小可，即使梼杌，也坚持不了多久的功夫。

He could no longer avoid the situation.
Forcing his way through with two fists was not a wise choice either.
As they say, two hands can't hold off four.
Moreover, none of these ancient beasts were weaklings. They all approached the threshold of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, far surpassing ordinary Spirit Cultivators at the Profound Divinity stage. The strongest among them were no less formidable than true Tribulation Transcendents.
Facing such powerful enemies, Lin Xuan's persistence to this point was already commendable.
However, human strength has its limits. He had reached his limit now.
The gap between them was too great; even with先天灵宝, it couldn't make up for the difference.
In that fierce attack by the ancient beasts, Lin Xuan struggled on all sides, barely managing to fend off their blows.
Blood spewed from his mouth, and his entire body was covered in wounds. He might as well have been bathed in blood.
If this continued, he would be close to defeat soon.
Damn it!
Lin Xuan roared into the sky, wondering if there was no hope left for him.
A fiery phoenix with a slender tail shot up towards the heavens, which was Lin Xuan forcefully summoning the Vermilion Bird Ring as a treasure.

But Lin Xuan still persisted. At this point, he had no chance of escaping. He wouldn't give up, not even if he died, for he wanted Tiaomu to join him in death.
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with reluctance. Moon, Heart Refinement, and YuanYuan, he couldn't go looking for them anymore.
He didn't want to give up, but there was no hope. There were too many enemies, all too powerful. Even if it were a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence Elder, they would still end in defeat.
Lin Xuan had no choice now; he could barely think about anything with so many formidable foes and being trapped in such an absolute predicament. All that mattered was fighting until the very end. Blood continued to spill from his body.
How much longer could he hold on?
Lin Xuan didn't know, maybe he would fall at any moment.
But Lin Xuan still charged forward without hesitation. Life or death, battle or not. He wouldn't bow down like Tiaomu; if he died, it would be a fight to the end for him too.
Boom!
Lin Xuan was sent flying again.
A black figure flashed by, and an ancient beast pounced in front of him. Compared to the other ancient beasts with imposing figures, this one seemed much shorter—only three feet tall—and its appearance was extremely ugly. It might as well be described as a厉鬼 from the阴司 realm.
However, it was undoubtedly an ancient king of beasts—a Naga Beast, incredibly powerful. In its hand was a strange weapon, dark in color and resembling a trident, radiating a terrifying glow that plunged towards Lin Xuan's chest.
This time, there was no way to dodge. Lin Xuan had heard various legends about the Naga Beast's power; if it pierced his heart with this weapon, even an immortal couldn't survive.
But he lacked the strength to avoid it now.
It's over!
Lin Xuan sighed, no longer hesitating. The only thing he could do was self-destruct his essence and demon core together.
This was his last choice. The power of dual essences and a single pill exploding would be enough to drag Tiaomu down with him into hell.
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with reluctance. His beloved women were still unknown whereabouts.
Decades of hard work, the path to immortality had ended here.
But this was inevitable; cultivation was full of hardships. As long as one hadn't reached the peak of flying through clouds and ascending, any existence could perish at any moment—immortals or demon kings included.
Yet his heart harbored so much dissatisfaction and hope.
"Should I have known better than to come to this ancient wasteland?"
Lin Xuan sighed, realizing he had no time left. He activated his cultivation power, preparing for the self-destruction of his essence and demon core, but then something unexpected happened.
The Naga Beast flew mid-air and suddenly vanished without a trace.
Yes, it vanished; there was no sign beforehand, just gone into thin air.
Lin Xuan couldn't help being stunned. At this moment, with victory in hand, the other party had no reason to resort to underhanded tactics. Such thoughts suggested something unexpected might be happening.
Although he didn't know the cause, Lin Xuan stopped his self-destruction; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wouldn't allow himself to dissipate into nothingness.
The scene that followed left Lin Xuan pleasantly surprised.
Not only did the Naga Beast vanish, but the giant ape beside it also disappeared. Soon, the bull-like ancient beast and the giant lion vanished one by one.
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, but soon his face lit up with joy.
"I understand!"
He couldn't help letting out a light exclamation; truly, when all seems lost, there's always a way forward.
The technique of myriad manifestations Tiaomu had used was incredibly powerful, a secret from the Celestial Realm. But because it was too powerful for his strength, even勉强施展也会有许多瑕疵与漏洞。
比如化身万千，但他只幻化出了近百个。而且这还不是最糟糕的，此仙术消耗极大，即使对Tiaomu来说也难以维持多久。
