rán ér nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì ？
然而哪儿有那么容易？
However, where is it that things are so easy?
zhuì líng lǎo zǔ shén zhì cuò luàn le bù jiǎ ， dàn shí lì ， kě shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dù jié qī 。.
坠灵老祖神智错乱了不假，但实力，可是如假包换的渡劫期。.
Indeed, although the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's mind was deranged, his strength was undeniably at the Tribulation Transcending Stage.
suǒ huì de shén tōng qiě bù tí ， dān jiù jìng jiè lái shuō ， bǐ zhī lín xuān yì zhǐ qiáng bù ruò ， dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ ér shì yī zhāo jiù néng gòu miǎo shā diào de 。
所会的神通且不提，单就境界来说，比之林轩亦只强不弱，渡劫后期的修仙者，哪儿是一招就能够秒杀掉的。
Setting aside the various divine powers he possessed, just by considering his realm, his strength compared to Lin Xuan was only slightly superior. A Tribulation Transcending cultivator wasn't something that could be easily killed with a single move.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn qù shì páng bó ， duì fāng de liǎn shàng yì kàn bú dào bàn diǎn wèi jù zhī sè 。
九宫须臾剑去势磅礴，对方的脸上亦看不到半点畏惧之色。
The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword's momentum surged forth powerfully, but there was no trace of fear on the opponent's face.
zhǐ jiàn tā yáng qǐ tóu lú ， kǒu zhōng ， yǒu gǔn léi yì bān de páo xiāo jiē lián chuán chū 。
只见他扬起头颅，口中，有滚雷一般的咆哮接连传出。
He raised his head, and thunderous roars echoed from his mouth. Suddenly, he lifted his hand.
měng rán yī tái shǒu 。
猛然一抬手。
As his actions began, winds stirred and clouds gathered; the primordial qi of heaven and earth became chaotic, blending with the demonic aura surrounding his body.
suí zhe qí dòng zuò ， fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， tiān dì yuán qì ， yī xià zi biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， yǔ tā shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de mó qì hùn hé zài yì qǐ 。
随着其动作，风起云涌，天地元气，一下子变得混乱以极，与他身体周围的魔气混合在一起。
Then, numerous light balls the size of fists appeared in Lin Xuan's vision.
suí hòu ， yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de guāng qiú chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后，一个个拳头大小的光球出现在了视线里。
Pitch-black like ink!
qī hēi rú mò ！
漆黑如墨！
Their surfaces flickered with crackling lightning arcs.
biǎo miàn hái shǎn shuò zhe pī lǐ pā lā de diàn hú 。
表面还闪烁着噼里啪啦的电弧。
The number was staggering, densely covering half the sky. A rough count revealed at least a thousand or more.
shù liàng gèng shì lìng rén chēng mù ， mì mì má má de zhē dǎng zhù bàn biān tiān mù ， chū lüè yī shù ， zhì shǎo yǒu shàng qiān zhī duō 。
数量更是令人瞠目，密密麻麻的遮挡住半边天幕，初略一数，至少有上千之多。
What kind of divine technique is this?
zhè shì shén me fǎ shù ？
这是什么法术？
What did the opponent intend to do?
duì fāng xiǎng yào rú hé ？
对方想要如何？
Two questions flashed through Lin Xuan's mind in an instant.
liǎng gè wèn tí rú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān zài lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò 。
两个问题如电光火石般在林轩脑海中转过。
Then, without further ado, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor acted. His movements were expansive and complex; countless intricate hand seals were completed in an instant.
suí hòu ， zhuì líng lǎo zǔ jiù yǐ dòng shǒu ， tā de dòng zuò dà kāi dà hé ， wú shù fán fù de shǒu yìn zài qǐng kè jiān jiù wán chéng le 。
随后，坠灵老祖就已动手，他的动作大开大阖，无数繁复的手印在顷刻间就完成了。
With a fierce expression on his face, he clapped his hands together and roared at Lin Xuan: "Break!"
liǎn shàng dài zhe xiōng lì zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu jiāo dié ， chōng zhe lín xuān yī shēng dà hǒu ：“ pò ！”
脸上带着凶厉之色，双手交叠，冲着林轩一声大吼：“破！”
Instantly, the black light balls scattered across the sky suddenly swelled to head-sized proportions, surrounded by rings of lightning. They trailed long flames as they fell like meteors, crashing down fiercely towards the ground.
dùn shí ， màn tiān de hēi sè guāng qiú yī shǎn ， qǐng kè jiān tǐ jī bào zhǎng qǐ lái ， huà wèi tóu lú dà xiǎo ， biǎo miàn bèi yī quān quān de shǎn diàn huán rào ， dài zhe cháng cháng de wěi yàn ， rú liú xīng zhuì dì yì bān ， hěn hěn cháo zhe xià fāng zá le guò lái 。
顿时，漫天的黑色光球一闪，顷刻间体积暴涨起来，化为头颅大小，表面被一圈圈的闪电环绕，带着长长的尾焰，如流星坠地一般，狠狠朝着下方砸了过来。
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he was both surprised and curious. Facing his attack, the opponent didn't summon any treasure artifacts. Was it because he was overconfident?
lín xuān liǎn sè yī biàn ， jì yǒu xiē chà yì ， yòu yǒu xiē hào qí ， miàn duì zì jǐ de gōng jī ， duì fāng jū rán bù jiāng fǎ bǎo jì qǐ ， nán dào shì dà yì qīng dí 。
林轩脸色一变，既有些诧异，又有些好奇，面对自己的攻击，对方居然不将法宝祭起，难道是大意轻敌。
No, something about the technique he used seemed inappropriate...
bú duì ， tā shī zhǎn de fǎ shù yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， sì hū ……
不对，他施展的法术有些不妥，似乎……
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but it was too late to change course.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， dàn biàn zhāo yǐ jīng lái bù jí 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，但变招已经来不及。
Boom!
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword collided with those light balls in mid-air; there was no suspense. The opponent exploded instantly, leaving the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword in shambles. Only Lin Xuan's命宝, enhanced by countless treasures and refined through myriad trials, remained intact. For a cultivator of his level, ten out of ten would have had their命宝 destroyed, even if they were lucky, the treasure artifacts' essence would still be severely damaged due to that explosion.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǔ nà xiē guāng qiú zài bàn kōng zhōng xiāng chù ， sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， duì fāng yī xià zi bào kāi le ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn bèi zhà le gè qī hūn bā sù ， yě jiù lín xuān de běn mìng bǎo wù ， jiā rù qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， hái qiān chuí bǎi liàn guò ， huàn yī míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， shí yǒu ** yǐ bèi huǐ diào le běn mìng bǎo wù ， jiù suàn yùn qì bù cuò ， fǎ bǎo de líng xìng yě fēi dà sǔn bù kě ， nà bào zhà de wēi lì tài dà le 。
九宫须臾剑与那些光球在半空中相触，丝毫悬念也无，对方一下子爆开了，九宫须臾剑被炸了个七荤八素，也就林轩的本命宝物，加入奇珍异宝无数，还千锤百炼过，换一名同阶修仙者，十有**已被毁掉了本命宝物，就算运气不错，法宝的灵姓也非大损不可，那爆炸的威力太大了。
Lin Xuan was surprised. The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword wasn't an ordinary treasure; even with surprise, it merely blocked his offensive and was carried away by the shockwave.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jīng yà ， dà jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn qǐ shì xún cháng bǎo wù kě bǐ ， jí biàn shì chū qí bù yì ， yě jǐn jǐn shì gōng shì shòu zǔ ér yǐ ， bèi nà bào zhà de yú bō chōng fēi le chū qù 。
林轩心中惊讶，大九宫须臾剑岂是寻常宝物可比，即便是出其不意，也仅仅是攻势受阻而已，被那爆炸的余波冲飞了出去。
Lin Xuan extended his hand, and the sword light spun around, circling from another direction.
lín xuān shēn shǒu yì diǎn ， jiàn guāng dùn shí yí gè pán xuán ， cóng lìng yí miàn yū huí rào le guò lái 。
林轩伸手一点，剑光顿时一个盘旋，从另一面迂回绕了过来。
The Fallen Spirit Ancestor seemed to be in a daze due to his derangement or something. He didn't have time to dodge; he was surrounded by sharp swordlight.
zhuì líng lǎo zǔ yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì yīn wèi zǒu huǒ rù mó ， tóu nǎo bù tài líng guāng de yuán gù ， jí qiè jiān jìng rán lái bù jí duǒ ， bèi xī lì de jiàn guāng tuán tuán wéi zhù 。
坠灵老祖也不知道是不是因为走火入魔，头脑不太灵光的缘故，急切间竟然来不及躲，被犀利的剑光团团围住。
"Fall!"
“ luò ！”
“落！”
How could Lin Xuan miss such an opportunity? Without hesitation, he swung his hand down.
zhè me hǎo de jī huì lín xuān qǐ huì fàng guò ， háo bù yóu yù de jiāng shǒu huī xià le 。
这么好的机会林轩岂会放过，毫不犹豫的将手挥下了。
Instantly, the sword light fell like snow from all sides towards the old demon, seemingly destined for a dismembering result. However, just as this happened, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor let out a long howl.
dùn shí ， jiàn guāng rú xuě ， cóng sì miàn bā fāng xiàng zhe lǎo mó zhǎn luò ， yǎn kàn jiù shì yí gè luàn jiàn fēn shī de jié guǒ ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， zhuì líng lǎo zǔ què yǎng tiān cháng xiào qǐ lái le 。
顿时，剑光如雪，从四面八方向着老魔斩落，眼看就是一个乱剑分尸的结果，然而就在这时，坠灵老祖却仰天长啸起来了。
The howl was hoarse and ear-piercing, akin to a wail of a ghost.
xiào shēng shā yǎ cì ěr ， yǒu rú guǐ kū 。
啸声沙哑刺耳，有如鬼哭。
More astonishingly, his body rapidly expanded like a balloon.
gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， tā de shēn tǐ ， jū rán rú tóng pí qiú yì bān ， xùn sù péng zhàng qǐ lái le 。
更不可思议的是，他的身体，居然如同皮球一般，迅速膨胀起来了。
"Bang!"
“ pēng ” de yī shēng mèn xiǎng ， bào chéng yī tuán xuè wù ， sì sàn ér táo ， jiàn guāng dùn shí luò zài kōng chù ， ér nà xiē xuè wù què chóng xīn níng jù ， huàn huà chéng zhuì líng lǎo zǔ 。
“嘭”的一声闷响，爆成一团血雾，四散而逃，剑光顿时落在空处，而那些血雾却重新凝聚，幻化成坠灵老祖。
A muffled explosion echoed, turning into a cloud of blood. The sword light fell on empty air while the blood mist reassembled, transforming back into the Fallen Spirit Ancestor.
rú cǐ guǐ yì de mó gōng ， guǒ rán bù yí duì fù 。
如此诡异的魔功，果然不宜对付。
Such an eerie magical technique indeed wasn't easy to deal with.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。
林轩叹了口气。
Lin Xuan sighed.
xiù páo yī shuǎi ， jiāng xiān jiàn tú yě jì le qǐ lái 。
袖袍一甩，将仙剑图也祭了起来。
He flicked his sleeves and summoned the Immortal Sword Diagram.
xú xú zhǎn kāi ， wàn qiān jiàn qì chōng chì yú yǎn lián ， míng zhī duì fāng bù hǎo duì fù ， lín xuān dāng rán yě bú huì cáng zhuō ， xiān tiān líng bǎo fā dòng le zài shuō ， kàn néng bù néng jiāng duì fāng jǐn kuài zhǎn yú cǐ chù 。
徐徐展开，万千剑气充斥于眼帘，明知对方不好对付，林轩当然也不会藏拙，先天灵宝发动了再说，看能不能将对方尽快斩于此处。
Slowly unfurled, countless sword qi filled his vision. Knowing how formidable the opponent was, Lin Xuan wouldn't hide his strength; he would unleash the先天灵宝 and see if he could quickly end this battle here.
rán ér ràng lín xuān wú yǔ de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
然而让林轩无语的一幕出现了。
However, a scene that left Lin Xuan speechless appeared.
zì jǐ dōu yǐ jīng jì chū le xiān tiān zhī wù ， duì fāng yī jiù shì kōng shǒu yìng fù 。
自己都已经祭出了先天之物，对方依旧是空手应付。
He had already summoned an innate treasure, but the opponent still dealt with it bare-handed.
nán dào tā de shí lì jìng biāo hàn dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù ？
难道他的实力竟彪悍到这种程度？
Could his strength be so formidable?
dá àn shì fǒu dìng de 。
答案是否定的。
The answer was no.
chéng rán ， zhuì líng lǎo zǔ de shí lì shì bù sú ， dàn yě bù zhì yú zì dà dào miàn duì lín xuān lián fǎ bǎo dōu bù jì chū ， nǎ pà tā yǐ jīng zǒu huǒ rù mó ， shén zhì bìng bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， dàn běn néng yě huì gào sù tā ， bù kě yǐ nà me zuò 。
诚然，坠灵老祖的实力是不俗，但也不至于自大到面对林轩连法宝都不祭出，哪怕他已经走火入魔，神智并不是很清楚，但本能也会告诉他，不可以那么做。
Indeed, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's strength wasn't trivial; however, he wouldn't dare to face Lin Xuan without even summoning a treasure artifact. Even if he was deranged and his mind wasn't clear, his instincts would tell him not to do that.
jì rú cǐ ， tā wèi hé hái huì kōng shǒu ne ？
既如此，他为何还会空手呢？
So why did he still deal with it bare-handed?
zhēn xiàng shì ， tā gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bǎo wù 。
真相是，他根本就没有宝物。
The truth was, he had no treasures at all.
bù cuò ， méi yǒu bǎo wù 。
不错，没有宝物。
No, he didn't have any.
zhè huà tīng shàng qù ， shì bú shì hěn lí pǔ ？
这话听上去，是不是很离谱？
Wasn't this statement absurd?
táng táng yī pài zōng zhǔ ， dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， zěn me kě néng huì méi yǒu bǎo wù ？
堂堂一派宗主，渡劫后期的老怪物，怎么可能会没有宝物？
A chief of a sect, an old demon from the Tribulation Transcending Stage, how could he possibly lack treasure artifacts?
zhè zài yì bān xiū xiān zhě yǎn lǐ ， jiǎn zhí yǔ tiān fāng yè tán chà bu duō ， rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng què mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè 。
这在一般修仙者眼里，简直与天方夜谭差不多，然而林轩的脸上却满是凝重之色。
To ordinary cultivators, this sounded like something out of a fairy tale. However, Lin Xuan's expression was filled with solemnity.
dà qiān shì jiè ， wú qí bù yǒu ， xiū xiān jiè zhī guāng guài lù lí ， gèng shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， xiū xiān liú pài ， yuán yuǎn liú cháng ， zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， jiù céng chū xiàn yī pī xiū shì ， bìng bù zhù zhòng bǎo wù ， fǎn ér jīng yán wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， cóng ér lìng pì xī jìng ， zǒu chū yī tiáo bié kāi shēng miàn de xiū xiān zhī lù 。
大千世界，无奇不有，修仙界之光怪陆离，更是难以想象，修仙流派，源远流长，在上古之时，就曾出现一批修士，并不注重宝物，反而精研五行法术，从而另辟蹊径，走出一条别开生面的修仙之路。
In the vast world, nothing is impossible. The wonders and strangeness in the cultivation realm were unimaginable. Cultivation sects had a long history; in ancient times, there appeared a batch of cultivators who didn't focus on treasure artifacts but instead delved deeply into the Five Elements divine techniques, forging a unique path.
nán dù bù yòng tí 。
难度不用提。
The difficulty was obvious.
dàn jù shuō xuǎn zé zhè tiáo ** dào lù de xiū shì de shí lì ， hái yào shèng guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， hào chēng wú bǎo shèng yǒu bǎo 。
但据说选择这条**道路的修士的实力，还要胜过同阶修仙者，号称无宝胜有宝。
But it was said that the strength of those who chose this path surpassed their peers. They were called "no treasures better than treasures."
qí fǎ shù de wēi lì ， yì diǎn bù xùn sè yú bǎo wù ， qiě qiān biàn wàn huà ， ràng rén nán yǐ zuò zhuó mó 。
其法术的威力，一点不逊色于宝物，且千变万化，让人难以做琢磨。
Their divine techniques weren't inferior to treasures and could be endlessly varied, making them hard to predict.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， qián fāng ， hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng hái zài bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng xiān jiàn tú zhōng sàn fà chū lái de yī bō yòu yī bō de jiàn qì ， jū rán bèi duì fāng chì shǒu kōng quán de jǐn jiē dǎng zhù 。
脑海中念头转过，前方，轰隆隆的爆裂声还在不停的传入耳朵，从仙剑图中散发出来的一波又一波的剑气，居然被对方赤手空拳的尽皆挡住。
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as the thunderous explosions continued. The sword qi emanating from the Immortal Sword Diagram was blocked by bare hands.
yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí zhī guǎng bó ， shòu dào de zhèn hàn yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
以林轩见识之广博，受到的震撼也是非同小可。
With his extensive experience, Lin Xuan was greatly shocked.
tài biāo hàn le ！
太彪悍了！
How formidable!
dōu shuō ěr tīng wèi xū yǎn jiàn wèi shí ， yǎn qián zhè yī qiè jiǎn zhí lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ 。
都说耳听为虚眼见为实，眼前这一切简直令人叹为观止。
They say that seeing is believing; what he saw before him was truly breathtaking.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē pèi fú ， tā hái cóng méi yǒu jiàn guò rú cǐ duō dà wēi lì de fǎ shù 。
林轩心中也有些佩服，他还从没有见过如此多大威力的法术。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but admire. He had never seen so many powerful divine techniques in one go.
dàn xiàn zài kě bú shì gǎn tàn de yī kè ， lín xuān jiāng xiù páo yī dǒu ， yǒu yī zhāng gǔ piáo de huà juàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
但现在可不是感叹的一刻，林轩将袖袍一抖，有一张古朴的画卷浮现而出。
But now wasn't the time for admiration. Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and an ancient scroll emerged.
xū yú dòng tiān tú ！
须臾洞天图！
Must臾 Cavern Heaven Diagram!
zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yǐ wéi měi mào shào nǚ yóu lǐ miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
只见灵光一闪，以为美貌少女由里面浮现而出。
A flash of light revealed a beautiful young woman emerging from within.
“ shào yé ， nǐ jiào wǒ 。”
“少爷，你叫我。”
"Master, you called me."
yí gè rén dǎ bù guò ， lín xuān kāi shǐ jiào bāng shǒu le 。
一个人打不过，林轩开始叫帮手了。
When alone couldn't handle it, Lin Xuan began calling for help.
zhè bìng méi yǒu shén me hǎo diū liǎn de ， xiū xiān jiè duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， yǐ duō wèi shèng méi yǒu rèn hé chū qí ， néng gòu qǔ dé dòu fǎ de shèng lì cái shì zuì zhòng yào dì 。
这并没有什么好丢脸的，修仙界多腥风血雨，倚多为胜没有任何出奇，能够取得斗法的胜利才是最重要地。
There was nothing to be ashamed about; the cultivation world had its fair share of blood and gore. Relying on sheer numbers wasn't extraordinary; winning in combat was what mattered most.
“ ń ， zhè jiā huo shí lì bù sú ， yòng yì bān de zhāo shù fēi xiàn rù kǔ zhàn bù kě ， wǒ men yì qǐ yòng jué zhāo duì fù tā rú hé ？”
“嗯，这家伙实力不俗，用一般的招数非陷入苦战不可，我们一起用绝招对付他如何？”
"Hmm, this guy is formidable; using ordinary techniques would lead to a tough battle. How about we use our ultimate moves together against him?"
gāng cái de yī fān dà zhàn ， lín xuān yǐ jīng shì tàn chū zhuì líng lǎo zǔ bù hǎo rě ， ruò shì yī zhāo yī shì de bǐ huà xià qù ， bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， huì xiàn rù kǔ zhàn de 。
刚才的一番大战，林轩已经试探出坠灵老祖不好惹，若是一招一式的比划下去，百分之百，会陷入苦战的。
After that fierce battle, Lin Xuan had already gauged the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's strength. If they continued exchanging blows, it would definitely be a grueling fight.
suī rán zì jǐ luò bài de jī huì bù duō ， rán ér dān gē tài jiǔ le ， fēi zì jǐ xiǎng yào kàn dào de yí mù ， suǒ yǐ ， shī zhǎn yā xiāng dǐ de shén tōng ， gān jìng lì luò de jiāng tā zhǎn shā ， jiù chéng le zuì hǎo de xuǎn zé 。
虽然自己落败的机会不多，然而耽搁太久了，非自己想要看到的一幕，所以，施展压箱底的神通，干净利落的将他斩杀，就成了最好的选择。
Although his defeat was unlikely, he couldn't afford to delay too long. So, using his secret technique, he aimed for a clean and decisive kill.
“ hǎo de ！”
“好的！”
"Alright!"
yuè ér cái chū xū yú dòng tiān tú ， lián zhuàng tài dōu bù shèn qīng chǔ ， dàn shào yé de jué dìng ， tā xiàng lái shì wú tiáo jiàn zhī chí de 。
月儿才出须臾洞天图，连状态都不甚清楚，但少爷的决定，她向来是无条件支持的。
Moon hadn't even fully materialized from the Must臾 Cavern Heaven Diagram; she didn't know her state well, but she always supported her master's decisions unconditionally.
guāi guāi de diǎn diǎn tóu ， biàn qǔ chū le zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù 。
乖乖的点点头，便取出了自己的本命宝物。
She nodded obediently and retrieved her命宝.
lín xuān jiàn le ， zì rán gèng bú huì xiè dài shén me ， shēn shēn hū xī ， shēn tǐ biǎo miàn líng mài zhòu qǐ ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de fǎ lì ， zài jīng mài zhōng liú zhuǎn bù yǐ 。
林轩见了，自然更不会懈怠什么，深深呼吸，身体表面灵脉骤起，如海潮怒涛一般的法力，在经脉中流转不已。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't slack off. He took a deep breath, and his body's primordial energy surged. The power flowed through his meridians like a tidal wave.
lín xuān suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng yā ， zài yuán běn de jī chǔ shàng ， fān le yí bèi bù zhǐ 。
林轩所散发出来的灵压，在原本的基础上，翻了一倍不止。
The spiritual pressure Lin Xuan emitted doubled from its original level.
méi cuò ， lín xuān dǎ suàn shǐ yòng zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ！
没错，林轩打算使用真灵化剑诀！
Indeed, Lin Xuan intended to use the True Spirit Sword Technique!
shàng yī cì shǐ yòng shì zài yīn sī dì fǔ ， miàn duì huáng quán guǐ mǔ ， nà shí ， tā bù dé bù diǎn rán gēn yuán zhī huǒ ， rú jīn ， dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān dōu jìn jiē dào le dù jié qī ， zhè zhāo ， yòu huì yǒu zěn yàng de wēi lì ？
上一次使用是在阴司地府，面对黄泉鬼母，那时，他不得不点燃根源之火，如今，第二元婴与妖丹都进阶到了渡劫期，这招，又会有怎样的威力？
He had used it in the Netherworld before, facing the Yellow Springs Demon Mother. Back then, he had no choice but to ignite the source fire. Now that his second元婴 and demon nucleus had advanced to the Tribulation Transcending Stage, what kind of power would this technique wield?
However, where is it that things are so easy?
Indeed, although the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's mind was deranged, his strength was undeniably at the Tribulation Transcending Stage.
Setting aside the various divine powers he possessed, just by considering his realm, his strength compared to Lin Xuan was only slightly superior. A Tribulation Transcending cultivator wasn't something that could be easily killed with a single move.
The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword's momentum surged forth powerfully, but there was no trace of fear on the opponent's face.
Roar!
He raised his head, and thunderous roars echoed from his mouth. Suddenly, he lifted his hand.
As his actions began, winds stirred and clouds gathered; the primordial qi of heaven and earth became chaotic, blending with the demonic aura surrounding his body.
Then, numerous light balls the size of fists appeared in Lin Xuan's vision.
Pitch-black like ink!
Their surfaces flickered with crackling lightning arcs.
The number was staggering, densely covering half the sky. A rough count revealed at least a thousand or more.
What kind of divine technique is this?
What did the opponent intend to do?
Two questions flashed through Lin Xuan's mind in an instant.
Then, without further ado, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor acted. His movements were expansive and complex; countless intricate hand seals were completed in an instant.
With a fierce expression on his face, he clapped his hands together and roared at Lin Xuan: "Break!"
Instantly, the black light balls scattered across the sky suddenly swelled to head-sized proportions, surrounded by rings of lightning. They trailed long flames as they fell like meteors, crashing down fiercely towards the ground.
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he was both surprised and curious. Facing his attack, the opponent didn't summon any treasure artifacts. Was it because he was overconfident?
No, something about the technique he used seemed inappropriate...
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, but it was too late to change course.
Boom!
The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword collided with those light balls in mid-air; there was no suspense. The opponent exploded instantly, leaving the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword in shambles. Only Lin Xuan's命宝, enhanced by countless treasures and refined through myriad trials, remained intact. For a cultivator of his level, ten out of ten would have had their命宝 destroyed, even if they were lucky, the treasure artifacts' essence would still be severely damaged due to that explosion.
Lin Xuan was surprised. The Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword wasn't an ordinary treasure; even with surprise, it merely blocked his offensive and was carried away by the shockwave.
Lin Xuan extended his hand, and the sword light spun around, circling from another direction.
The Fallen Spirit Ancestor seemed to be in a daze due to his derangement or something. He didn't have time to dodge; he was surrounded by sharp swordlight.
"Fall!"
How could Lin Xuan miss such an opportunity? Without hesitation, he swung his hand down.
Instantly, the sword light fell like snow from all sides towards the old demon, seemingly destined for a dismembering result. However, just as this happened, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor let out a long howl.
The howl was hoarse and ear-piercing, akin to a wail of a ghost.
More astonishingly, his body rapidly expanded like a balloon.
"Bang!"
A muffled explosion echoed, turning into a cloud of blood. The sword light fell on empty air while the blood mist reassembled, transforming back into the Fallen Spirit Ancestor.
Such an eerie magical technique indeed wasn't easy to deal with.
Lin Xuan sighed.
He flicked his sleeves and summoned the Immortal Sword Diagram.
Slowly unfurled, countless sword qi filled his vision. Knowing how formidable the opponent was, Lin Xuan wouldn't hide his strength; he would unleash the先天灵宝 and see if he could quickly end this battle here.
However, a scene that left Lin Xuan speechless appeared.
He had already summoned an innate treasure, but the opponent still dealt with it bare-handed.
Could his strength be so formidable?
The answer was no.
Indeed, the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's strength wasn't trivial; however, he wouldn't dare to face Lin Xuan without even summoning a treasure artifact. Even if he was deranged and his mind wasn't clear, his instincts would tell him not to do that.
So why did he still deal with it bare-handed?
The truth was, he had no treasures at all.
No, he didn't have any.
Wasn't this statement absurd?
A chief of a sect, an old demon from the Tribulation Transcending Stage, how could he possibly lack treasure artifacts?
To ordinary cultivators, this sounded like something out of a fairy tale. However, Lin Xuan's expression was filled with solemnity.
In the vast world, nothing is impossible. The wonders and strangeness in the cultivation realm were unimaginable. Cultivation sects had a long history; in ancient times, there appeared a batch of cultivators who didn't focus on treasure artifacts but instead delved deeply into the Five Elements divine techniques, forging a unique path.
The difficulty was obvious.
But it was said that the strength of those who chose this path surpassed their peers. They were called "no treasures better than treasures."
Their divine techniques weren't inferior to treasures and could be endlessly varied, making them hard to predict.
Thoughts raced through Lin Xuan's mind as the thunderous explosions continued. The sword qi emanating from the Immortal Sword Diagram was blocked by bare hands.
With his extensive experience, Lin Xuan was greatly shocked.
How formidable!
They say that seeing is believing; what he saw before him was truly breathtaking.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but admire. He had never seen so many powerful divine techniques in one go.
But now wasn't the time for admiration. Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and an ancient scroll emerged.
Must臾 Cavern Heaven Diagram!
A flash of light revealed a beautiful young woman emerging from within.
"Master, you called me."
When alone couldn't handle it, Lin Xuan began calling for help.
There was nothing to be ashamed about; the cultivation world had its fair share of blood and gore. Relying on sheer numbers wasn't extraordinary; winning in combat was what mattered most.
"Hmm, this guy is formidable; using ordinary techniques would lead to a tough battle. How about we use our ultimate moves together against him?"
After that fierce battle, Lin Xuan had already gauged the Fallen Spirit Ancestor's strength. If they continued exchanging blows, it would definitely be a grueling fight.
Although his defeat was unlikely, he couldn't afford to delay too long. So, using his secret technique, he aimed for a clean and decisive kill.
"Alright!"
Moon hadn't even fully materialized from the Must臾 Cavern Heaven Diagram; she didn't know her state well, but she always supported her master's decisions unconditionally.
She nodded obediently and retrieved her命宝.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't slack off. He took a deep breath, and his body's primordial energy surged. The power flowed through his meridians like a tidal wave.
The spiritual pressure Lin Xuan emitted doubled from its original level.
Indeed, Lin Xuan intended to use the True Spirit Sword Technique!
He had used it in the Netherworld before, facing the Yellow Springs Demon Mother. Back then, he had no choice but to ignite the source fire. Now that his second元婴 and demon nucleus had advanced to the Tribulation Transcending Stage, what kind of power would this technique wield?
