xīn zhōng cuò è ， yú shì lín xuān yě jiù méi yǒu mào rán xiàn shēn le ， jué dìng xiān jìng guān qí biàn zài zuò dìng duó ， bì jìng yǎn qián de yí mù tài lí pǔ ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng yīn wèi yì shí shū hū ， ér tà rù duì fāng suǒ bù xià de xiàn jǐng lǐ le 。『』
心中错愕，于是林轩也就没有冒然现身了，决定先静观其变再做定夺，毕竟眼前的一幕太离谱，林轩可不想因为一时疏忽，而踏入对方所布下的陷阱里了。『』
Surprised, Lin Xuan did not rashly reveal himself. Instead, he decided to observe the situation quietly before making a decision. After all, what was happening in front of him was too bizarre; he didn't want to fall into the trap set by his opponent due to carelessness.
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ！
小心无大错！
"Better safe than sorry!"
jiù mù qián de xíng shì lái shuō ， yuè ér zhè biān suī chù bù lì ， dàn yě tán bù shàng rú hé wēi jí ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān yǒu zú gòu de shí jiān cóng róng kǎo lǜ 。
就目前的形势来说，月儿这边虽处不利，但也谈不上如何危急，所以林轩有足够的时间从容考虑。
Given the current circumstances, Moonling was at a disadvantage, but not in immediate danger. Therefore, Lin Xuan had ample time to consider his next move.
hōng lōng lóng ， jīng léi bān de bào liè shēng hái zài bù tíng de chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
轰隆隆，惊雷般的爆裂声还在不停的传入耳里。
Rumbling thunderous explosions continued to reverberate through the air. The five Spirit-Channeling ghosts were doing their best to fend off their opponent's attacks.
nà wǔ míng fèn shén qī de yīn hún guǐ wù ， zhèng jié jìn quán lì ， dǐ dǎng duì shǒu de gōng jī 。
那五名分神期的阴魂鬼物，正竭尽全力，抵挡对手的攻击。
Lin Xuan quickly scanned them and easily noticed that they worked together flawlessly in a coordinated attack. However, their abilities alone seemed insufficient to withstand the attacks of an Immortal-Transcending old monster.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， hěn qīng yì jiù kàn chū tā men shàn cháng fēn jìn hé jī ， pèi hé mò qì wú bǐ ， dàn jǐn píng zhè diǎn běn shì xiǎn rán bù zú yǐ dǐ dǎng dù jié qī lǎo guài wù de gōng jī 。
林轩目光扫过，很轻易就看出他们擅长分进合击，配合默契无比，但仅凭这点本事显然不足以抵挡渡劫期老怪物的攻击。
The key lay in the array flags each of them held in their hands.
ào miào zài yú tā men měi yí gè rén de shǒu shàng ， dōu chí yǒu yī gān zhèn qí 。
奥妙在于他们每一个人的手上，都持有一杆阵旗。
Using阵法as support!
yǐ zhèn fǎ zuò wèi fǔ zhù ！
以阵法做为辅助！
This array was incredibly skillful, even though it was controlled by only five individuals.
ér zhè tào zhèn fǎ suī rán jǐn yóu wǔ rén qū shǐ ， què shén miào dào wú yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì 。
而这套阵法虽然仅由五人驱使，却神妙到无以复加的境地。
Especially adept at defense, it could be considered a fortress of steel and iron.
yóu qí shàn cháng fáng yù ， kě yǐ shuō shì tóng qiáng tiě bì ！
尤其擅长防御，可以说是铜墙铁壁！
Thus, facing an Immortal-Transcending middle-stage monster, although they had no chance of winning, they could still maintain their ground.
gù ér miàn duì yī dù jié zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， suī rán méi yǒu fēn háo kě néng qǔ dé shèng lì ， què néng gòu miǎn qiǎng lì yú bù bài zhī dì 。
故而面对一渡劫中期的老怪物，虽然没有分毫可能取得胜利，却能够勉强立于不败之地。
Of course, this was just the current situation.
dāng rán ， zhè zhǐ shì mù qián de qíng kuàng ér yǐ 。
当然，这只是目前的情况而已。
If they continued to delay, these five would eventually fall.
jì xù zhè yàng tuō yán xià qù ， wǔ rén chí zǎo hái shì huì luò bài dì 。
继续这样拖延下去，五人迟早还是会落败地。
However, even if such an outcome occurred, they might have already fulfilled their mission and purpose. The five were gritting their teeth and struggling desperately, merely buying time.
bù guò jí biàn chū xiàn zhè ge jié jú ， tā men kǒng pà yě shì wán chéng le shǐ mìng yǔ mù dì ， wǔ rén yǎo yá kǔ chēng ， yuán běn jiù shì tuō yán shí jiān ér yǐ 。
不过即便出现这个结局，他们恐怕也是完成了使命与目的，五人咬牙苦撑，原本就是拖延时间而已。
Perhaps it was a last resort or hoping that things would change with prolonged delays.
huò xǔ shì wú nài de xuǎn zé ， huò xǔ shì xiǎng zhe tuō jiǔ le huì chū xiàn biàn gù 。
或许是无奈的选择，或许是想着拖久了会出现变故。
Lin Xuan didn't know the specifics, but since he had arrived here, he couldn't afford to ignore anything.
jù tǐ shì shén me ， lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， dàn tā jì rán lái dào cǐ chù ， dāng rán bù kě néng bù guǎn bù gù 。
具体是什么，林轩不晓得，但他既然来到此处，当然不可能不管不顾。
Lin Xuan was ready to act now.
lín xuān yǐ dǎ suàn dòng shǒu le 。
林轩已打算动手了。
Since choosing this place as his breakthrough point, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't overlook his next opponent.
jì rán xuǎn zé zhè ér zuò wéi tū pò kǒu ， zì jǐ jiē xià lái de duì shǒu ， lín xuān dāng rán bù kě néng bù jǐ yǔ guān zhù 。
既然选择这儿作为突破口，自己接下来的对手，林轩当然不可能不给与关注。
However, upon clearly seeing his face, Lin Xuan couldn’t help feeling speechless. He even said with a gasp of cool air.
kě kàn qīng chǔ tā de miàn róng ， lín xuān què bù yóu de yī zhèn wú yǔ 。 shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。
可看清楚他的面容，林轩却不由得一阵无语。甚至可以说倒吸了一口凉气。
Lin Xuan wasn't an inexperienced cultivator; he had seen countless厉鬼and ancient demons before.
lín xuān kě bú shì chū chū máo lú de xiū xiān zhě ， lì guǐ gǔ mó ， kě dōu shì jiàn guò wú shù 。
林轩可不是初出茅庐的修仙者，厉鬼古魔，可都是见过无数。
Logically speaking, no matter how terrifying the appearance of his opponent was, he should have ignored it. But this time, he couldn’t help feeling that the mountain didn't change its color even when the earth collapsed in front of him.
àn lǐ shuō ， bù lùn duì fāng zhǎng xiàng duō me zhēng níng ， tā dōu yīng gāi shì ruò wú dǔ ， kě zhè yī cì ， tā què shí zài zuò bú dào tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè 。
按理说，不论对方长相多么狰狞，他都应该视若无睹，可这一次，他却实在做不到泰山崩于前而不变色。
No misunderstanding, this guy wasn't at all scary or ferocious-looking; his pale face and sharp teeth had nothing to do with him.
bié wù huì ， zhè jiā huo zhǎng dé kě yì diǎn dōu bù zhēng níng xiōng è ， qīng miàn liáo yá yǔ tā gēn běn jiù shì bù zhān biān de 。
别误会，这家伙长得可一点都不狰狞凶恶，青面獠牙与他根本就是不沾边的。
On the contrary, considering his facial features, he looked somewhat innocent and approachable.
qià qià xiāng fǎn 。 zhè jiā huo jiù wǔ guān róng mào lái shuō ， hái yǒu jǐ fēn hān tài kě jū 。
恰恰相反。这家伙就五官容貌来说，还有几分憨态可掬。
He appeared quite honest and kind.
kàn shàng qù ， pǒ wèi lǎo shí cí hé 。
看上去，颇为老实慈和。
The problem was that he was just too fat.
wèn tí shì ， zhè jiā huo shí zài shì tài pàng le 。
问题是，这家伙实在是太胖了。
A mountain of flesh, this was Lin Xuan's first impression.
ròu shān ， zhè shì tā gěi lín xuān de dì yī guān gǎn 。
肉山，这是他给林轩的第一观感。
Indeed. This guy was so fat that his body resembled a mountain. The white fatty flesh before him was so prominent it almost blinded people.
méi cuò 。 zhè jiā huo pàng dé jiù xiàng yī zuò shān ， bái huā huā de féi ròu chéng xiàn yú yǎn qián ， huǎng dé rén jī hū zhēng bù kāi yǎn 。
没错。这家伙胖得就像一座山，白花花的肥肉呈现于眼前，晃得人几乎睁不开眼。
Although Lin Xuan had been young in the Immortal-Transcending realm for thousands of years, he had seen countless fat individuals over this long period.
suī rán zài dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù zhōng ， lín xuān suàn shì nián qīng dào le jí chù ， dàn zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， dào mù qián wéi zhǐ zěn me yě yǒu shù qiān nián 。
虽然在渡劫级别的老怪物中，林轩算是年轻到了极处，但自从踏上修仙之路，到目前为止怎么也有数千年。
But none could match the size and bulk of this guy.
zhè me màn cháng de suì yuè lǐ ， jiàn guò de pàng zi kě yǐ shuō shì wú shù 。 kě què gēn běn méi yǒu yí gè rén ， néng gòu yǔ yǎn qián zhè jiā huo xiāng pì měi de 。
这么漫长的岁月里，见过的胖子可以说是无数。可却根本没有一个人，能够与眼前这家伙相媲美的。
All small fry compared to a big fish!
quán bù xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū ！
全部小巫见大巫！
How fat was he? Lin Xuan didn't know how to describe it.
tā yǒu duō pàng ne ， lín xuān dōu bù zhī dào gāi yòng zěn yàng de yán yǔ lái miáo shù 。
他有多胖呢，林轩都不知道该用怎样的言语来描述。
For ordinary people, being around 700 pounds would already be considered extremely overweight. But this guy... Lin Xuan estimated that his arm alone weighed as much.
jiù pǔ tōng rén de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， yǒu gè qī bā bǎi jīn yǐ shì pàng dé lí pǔ 。
就普通人的情况来说，有个七八百斤已是胖得离谱。
No misunderstanding; the old Immortal-Transcending ancestor in front of him wasn’t tall and imposing. His height was roughly the same as an ordinary human. Imagine how fat he must have been to reach such a state.
kě zhè jiā huo bù tóng 。 lín xuān gū jì tā de yī tiáo shǒu bì dōu yǒu zhè me zhòng 。
可这家伙不同。林轩估计他的一条手臂都有这么重。
"Overlord Heavenly Fat!"
bié wù huì ， yǎn qián zhè dù jié jí bié de lǎo zǔ ， kě bú shì nà zhǒng gāo dà de guǐ wù ， tā de shēn gāo 。 yě jiù yǔ pǔ tōng de fán rén xiāng chà fǎng fú ， nǐ xiǎng xiǎng 。 zhè dé pàng dào shén me dì bù 。
别误会，眼前这渡劫级别的老祖，可不是那种高大的鬼物，他的身高。也就与普通的凡人相差仿佛，你想想。这得胖到什么地步。
Lin Xuan had spent some time in the Netherworld, but its vast area meant that his knowledge of it was limited. At least many powerful beings were unfamiliar to him.
“ tiān féi zūn zhě ！”
“天肥尊者！”
Fortunately, there was a native ghost nearby; Xing'er's murmured words reached Lin Xuan’s ears clearly.
lín xuān lái dào yīn sī jiè yǐ jīng yǒu yī xiē suì yuè le ， dàn gāi jiè miàn jī guǎng kuò ， lín xuān duì tā de liǎo jiě yě jiù tán bù shàng yǒu xǔ duō 。
林轩来到阴司界已经有一些岁月了，但该界面积广阔，林轩对它的了解也就谈不上有许多。
Thankfully, Lin Xuan had used concealment techniques, otherwise the little girl would have been exposed long ago.
zhì shǎo hěn duō qiáng zhě dōu shì bù rèn shí de 。
至少很多强者都是不认识的。
Even so, they didn’t dare get too close. The old Immortal-Transcending monster’s divine sense couldn't be underestimated; a slip of attention could still alert him.
hǎo zài páng biān hái yǒu yī tǔ shēng tǔ zhǎng de guǐ zú ， xìng ér nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān zài yī páng zì rán shì tīng le gè qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
好在旁边还有一土生土长的鬼族，杏儿喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，林轩在一旁自然是听了个清清楚楚。
At this distance, which Lin Xuan carefully chose, it should be difficult for them to notice anything amiss unless the old monster deliberately scanned with his divine sense.
shuō qǐ lái ， yě duō kuī le lín xuān shī zhǎn de yǐn nì zhī shù ， fǒu zé xiǎo yā tou de shēn xíng ， zǎo jiù bào lù diào le 。
说起来，也多亏了林轩施展的隐匿之术，否则小丫头的身形，早就暴露掉了。
Thus, Lin Xuan didn’t need to be overly cautious when speaking: "Overlord Heavenly Fat, what is that? Is he famous?"
jí biàn rú cǐ ， liǎng rén yě bù gǎn tài kào jìn le qù ， fǒu zé dù jié qī lǎo guài de shén shí ， jué bù néng xiǎo shì ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， yī jiù huì ràng duì fāng chá jué dì 。
即便如此，两人也不敢太靠近了去，否则渡劫期老怪的神识，绝不能小视，一不小心，依旧会让对方察觉地。
"Master said right. Overlord Heavenly Fat and those four beside him are collectively known as the Five Ghosts of the Abyss. Each has unique abilities; they are heartbeats of Golden Jade Corpse King. I didn’t expect them to attack the place where Lord resides this time..."
ér xiàn zài zhè ge jù lí ， shì lín xuān jīng xīn tiāo xuǎn dì ， zhǐ yào duì fāng bú shì kè yì yòng shén shí sǎo guò ， yīng gāi hěn nán fā xiàn bù tuǒ 。
而现在这个距离，是林轩精心挑选地，只要对方不是刻意用神识扫过，应该很难发现不妥。
...
gù ér lín xuān shuō huà ， dào yě bù yòng xiǎo xīn dào jí chù ：“ tiān féi zūn zhě ， nà shì shén me ， zhè jiā huo hěn yǒu míng me ？”
故而林轩说话，倒也不用小心到极处：“天肥尊者，那是什么，这家伙很有名么？”
While Lin Xuan was talking with Xing'er, the battle continued fiercely. Thunderous explosions echoed non-stop in his ears. Overlord Heavenly Fat, who had been unable to break through for so long, clearly grew enraged.
“ shǎo zhǔ shuō duì le ， tiān féi zūn zhě ， yǔ páng biān nà sì gè jiā huo ， hé chēng yōu tán wǔ guǐ ， měi gè rén de shén tōng ， jiē yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， nǎi shì jīn yuè shī wáng de xīn fù ， méi xiǎng dào zhè yī cì ， jū rán shì yóu tā men lái gōng dǎ wáng de cáng shēn zhī suǒ ……”
“少主说对了，天肥尊者，与旁边那四个家伙，合称幽谭五鬼，每个人的神通，皆有不凡之处，乃是金玥尸王的心腹，没想到这一次，居然是由他们来攻打王的藏身之所……”
"Idiot! With such a broken array, you think you can stop this old ancestor? You’ll regret it."
……
……
Overlord Heavenly Fat's fierce voice rang out, but he didn’t summon any treasures; instead, he charged headlong at them.
lín xuān yǔ xìng ér duì huà de shí hòu ， shuāng fāng yī jiù shì dǎ dé rú huǒ rú tú ， hōng lōng lóng de bào liè zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， jiǔ gōng bù xià de tiān féi zūn zhě ， xiǎn rán yě dòng le zhēn huǒ 。
林轩与杏儿对话的时候，双方依旧是打得如火如荼，轰隆隆的爆裂之声不绝于耳朵，久攻不下的天肥尊者，显然也动了真火。
"Not good. Quickly block that guy."
“ chǔn huò ， jiù píng zhè me yī pò làn zhèn fǎ ， yě xiǎng yào jiāng běn lǎo zǔ dǎng zhù ， nǐ men huì hòu huǐ de 。”
“蠢货，就凭这么一破烂阵法，也想要将本老祖挡住，你们会后悔的。”
The five Spirit-Channeling ghosts were shocked and alarmed. They frantically urged their array flags and treasures to be used.
tiān féi zūn zhě è hěn hěn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu què bú jiàn tā jì qǐ rèn hé bǎo wù ， ér shì zhè yàng héng chōng zhí zhuàng de pū guò lái le 。
天肥尊者恶狠狠的声音传入耳朵，随后却不见他祭起任何宝物，而是这样横冲直撞的扑过来了。
A strong wind swept through the air as rays of fierce light tore through the void. The power of several treasures was fully unleashed, viciously attacking Overlord Heavenly Fat.
“ bù hǎo ， kuài jiāng zhè jiā huo dǎng zhù 。”
“不好，快将这家伙挡住。”
Lin Xuan frowned.
nà wǔ míng fèn shén qī de guǐ zú bù yóu de dà jīng shī sè 。
那五名分神期的鬼族不由得大惊失色。
Although the five ghosts were only Spirit-Channeling level, using the benefits of the array, their attacks couldn’t be taken lightly. Even if he were in their position, he wouldn't dare treat them casually...
yí gè gè liǎn sè rú tǔ ， pīn mìng de cuī dòng shǒu zhōng de zhèn qí yǔ bǎo wù 。
一个个脸色如土，拼命的催动手中的阵旗与宝物。
But just as this thought crossed his mind, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
yī shí jiān yīn fēng dà zuò ， yī dào dào lì máng jiāng xū kōng sī chě ， jǐ jiàn bǎo wù de wēi lì ， gèng shì jī fā dào le zuì qiáng de dì bù ， è hěn hěn de xiàng tiān féi zūn zhě pī kǎn guò qù le 。
一时间阴风大做，一道道厉芒将虚空撕扯，几件宝物的威力，更是激发到了最强的地步，恶狠狠的像天肥尊者劈砍过去了。
Attacks rained down like raindrops, but Overlord Heavenly Fat didn’t dodge; he charged through with a nonchalant attitude.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu 。
林轩眉头一皱。
Brave!
suī rán wǔ guǐ jǐn jǐn shì fēn shén jí ， dàn jiè zhù zhèn fǎ zhī lì ， shī zhǎn chū lái de gōng jī què bù róng qīng wǔ ， biàn shì zì jǐ yǔ tā men de duì shǒu yì dì ér chǔ ， mén xīn zì wèn ， yě bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī de ……
虽然五鬼仅仅是分神级，但借助阵法之利，施展出来的攻击却不容轻侮，便是自己与他们的对手易地而处，扪心自问，也不敢等闲视之的……
That unyielding momentum was awe-inspiring. Lin Xuan wondered if the fool had gone mad.
kě zhè ge niàn tou gāng gāng zhuǎn guò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù jiù fā shēng le 。
可这个念头刚刚转过，不可思议的一幕就发生了。
These attacks were so terrifying that even he couldn't ignore them, yet this guy didn't use any defensive treasures?
gōng jī rú yǔ diǎn bān fēn luò ， tiān féi zūn zhě què gēn běn bù duǒ ， shì ruò wú dǔ de héng chōng zhí zhuàng guò lái le 。
攻击如雨点般纷落，天肥尊者却根本不躲，视若无睹的横冲直撞过来了。
Overestimating Spirit-Channeling cultivators would come at a cost.
biāo hàn ！
彪悍！
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he quickly realized that such an assessment might not be accurate.
nà yī wǎng wú qián de qì shì lìng rén xīn zhé ， lín xuān què huái yí zhè ge shǎ guā què shì bú shì fā fēng 。
那一往无前的气势令人心折，林轩却怀疑这个傻瓜却是不是发疯。
Reaching Immortal-Transcending stage meant having some wisdom; there couldn’t be foolish individuals.
zhè gōng jī ， lián zì jǐ yě bù gǎn shì ruò wú dǔ ， tā jū rán bù jì chū rèn hé fáng yù de bǎo wù ？
这攻击，连自己也不敢视若无睹，他居然不祭出任何防御的宝物？
This guy daring to overestimate himself so much must have relied on something.
zhēn dāng fēn shén qī xiū shì shì zhǐ hú ， zì dà kě shì huì fù chū dài jià 。
真当分神期修士是纸糊，自大可是会付出代价。
Of course, this was just Lin Xuan's speculation. The exact reason didn't need further thought as the answer would soon be revealed.
zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， kě hěn kuài yòu jué de zhè ge pàn duàn wèi bì shì zhǔn què de 。
这个念头在脑海中转过，可很快又觉得这个判断未必是准确的。
Ray after ray of light and attacks conjured by阴力fell like raindrops, striking Overlord Heavenly Fat hard.
xiū wèi néng dào dù jié qī ， bù guǎn yuán yīn rú hé ， yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu yú chǔn de jiā huo 。
修为能到渡劫期，不管原因如何，又怎么可能有愚蠢的家伙。
But he didn’t even flinch; instead, he smiled, as if these attacks were just tickling him.
zhè jiā huo gǎn tuō dà dào rú cǐ dì bù ， kǒng pà shì suǒ yǒu yǐ zhàng de 。
这家伙敢托大到如此地步，恐怕是所有倚仗的。
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. Could it be because of his thick layer of fat? The fatty tissue acted like armor, easily deflecting such terrifying attacks?
dāng rán ， zhè xiē dōu jǐn jǐn shì lín xuān de cāi cè ， zhì yú jù tǐ de yuán yóu ， zé bù yòng pò fèi sī liáng le ， yīn wèi mí dǐ hěn kuài jiù huì jiē xiǎo 。
当然，这些都仅仅是林轩的猜测，至于具体的缘由，则不用破费思量了，因为谜底很快就会揭晓。
Lin Xuan was already in shock, and the five Spirit-Channeling ghosts could only imagine how much worse it must have been for them.
yī dào dào guāng zhù ， yǐ jí yīn lì suǒ huàn huà chū lái de gōng jī ， rú yǔ diǎn bān fēn luò ， yǐ hěn hěn zá zài tiān féi zūn zhě shēn shàng le 。
一道道光柱，以及阴力所幻化出来的攻击，如雨点般纷落，已狠狠砸在天肥尊者身上了。
PS: Originally, I aimed to minimize disruption to updates. However, Baby's cough hasn't improved; she had to be hospitalized. Sigh, I apologize. I will try my best to update, but this situation might affect the process. Please understand.
Surprised, Lin Xuan did not rashly reveal himself. Instead, he decided to observe the situation quietly before making a decision. After all, what was happening in front of him was too bizarre; he didn't want to fall into the trap set by his opponent due to carelessness.
"Better safe than sorry!"
Given the current circumstances, Moonling was at a disadvantage, but not in immediate danger. Therefore, Lin Xuan had ample time to consider his next move.
Rumbling thunderous explosions continued to reverberate through the air. The five Spirit-Channeling ghosts were doing their best to fend off their opponent's attacks.
Lin Xuan quickly scanned them and easily noticed that they worked together flawlessly in a coordinated attack. However, their abilities alone seemed insufficient to withstand the attacks of an Immortal-Transcending old monster.

If they continued to delay, these five would eventually fall.
However, even if such an outcome occurred, they might have already fulfilled their mission and purpose. The five were gritting their teeth and struggling desperately, merely buying time.

That unyielding momentum was awe-inspiring. Lin Xuan wondered if the fool had gone mad.
These attacks were so terrifying that even he couldn't ignore them, yet this guy didn't use any defensive treasures?
Overestimating Spirit-Channeling cultivators would come at a cost.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he quickly realized that such an assessment might not be accurate.
Reaching Immortal-Transcending stage meant having some wisdom; there couldn’t be foolish individuals.
This guy daring to overestimate himself so much must have relied on something.
Of course, this was just Lin Xuan's speculation. The exact reason didn't need further thought as the answer would soon be revealed.
Ray after ray of light and attacks conjured by阴力fell like raindrops, striking Overlord Heavenly Fat hard.
But he didn’t even flinch; instead, he smiled, as if these attacks were just tickling him.
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded. Could it be because of his thick layer of fat? The fatty tissue acted like armor, easily deflecting such terrifying attacks?
Lin Xuan was already in shock, and the five Spirit-Channeling ghosts could only imagine how much worse it must have been for them.
