第三千五百三十二章 山岳巨猿与火焰巨人

yǐ liǎng rén de shén xíng dùn sù ， qū qū shù bǎi lǐ ， zì rán zhuǎn shùn jí zhì 。

以两人的神行遁速，区区数百里，自然转瞬即至。

With their divine movement speed, the few hundred miles were easily covered in an instant.

yǎn qián huò rán kāi lǎng ， rè làng pū miàn ér lái ， què shì yī jù dà de yán jiāng hú ， yìng rù yǎn lián 。

眼前豁然开朗，热浪扑面而来，却是一巨大的岩浆湖，映入眼帘。

Before them, the scene suddenly opened up. A wave of heat hit their faces as they saw a vast lake of lava before their eyes.

hú miàn zhī shàng ， líng guāng shǎn xiàn ， gè sè guāng huá chōng tiān ， què shì liǎng tóu páng rán dà wù ， zhēng dòu dé jī liè yì cháng 。

湖面之上，灵光闪现，各色光华冲天，却是两头庞然大物，争斗得激烈异常。

On the surface of the lake, flashes of spiritual light appeared, with various colors of light shooting up into the air. Two enormous creatures were fiercely battling each other.

qí zhōng yī tóu ， gāo shù bǎi zhàng ， què shì yī tǐ xíng páng bó de jù yuán ， sì zhī qí zhǎng ， é tóu shēng yǒu sān gēn chōng tiān guài jiǎo 。

其中一头，高数百丈，却是一体型磅礴的巨猿，四肢奇长，额头生有三根冲天怪角。

One was towering hundreds of feet high, and it was an immense ape with disproportionately long limbs. It had three strange horns protruding from its forehead that pointed upwards.

shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， gèng yǒu yī xiē huā wén qí miào wú bǐ ， fǎng fú shàng gǔ fú wén yì bān chōng mǎn le shén miào xuán ào zhī yì 。

身体表面，更有一些花纹奇妙无比，仿佛上古符文一般充满了神妙玄奥之意。

Its body surface also bore some intricate patterns that seemed like ancient runes, filled with mysterious and profound meanings.

“ shān yuè jù yuán ！”

“山岳巨猿！”

"Mountain Giant Ape!"

lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yī yǎn jiù jiāng zhè chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn líng rèn chū lái le 。

林轩瞳孔微缩，一眼就将这传说中的真灵认出来了。

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he immediately recognized this legendary true spirit.

zhēn líng shù liàng zhòng duō ， gè yǒu gè de shén tōng miào chù ， shān yuè jù yuán bú shì qí zhōng zuì qiáng dà de ， rán ér ruò lùn yǒng měng ， zé pái jìn qián sān fēn háo wèn tí yě wú 。

真灵数量众多，各有各的神通妙处，山岳巨猿不是其中最强大的，然而若论勇猛，则排进前三分毫问题也无。

True spirits were numerous, each with unique abilities. While the Mountain Giant Ape wasn't among the strongest, its bravery placed it in the top three without any doubt.

jiān zhī lì dà wú qióng ， zōng hé zhàn lì ， zài zhēn líng zhī zhōng ， yì suàn jí wéi qiáng dà de 。

兼之力大无穷，综合战力，在真灵之中，亦算极为强大的。

Moreover, considering its boundless strength, its overall combat power was formidable within the realm of true spirits.

lín xuān zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， jū rán huì zài zhè ér ， yǔ shān yuè jù yuán xiá lù xiāng féng 。

林轩做梦也不曾想，居然会在这儿，与山岳巨猿狭路相逢。

Lin Xuan never imagined he would encounter a Mountain Giant Ape here.

kě kàn duì fāng shēng lóng huó hǔ ， nǎ ér yǒu yì diǎn chuí sǐ zhī zhào ， zhè lǐ bú shì zhēn líng de mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， shān yuè jù yuán pǎo dào zhè lǐ zuò shén me ？

可看对方生龙活虎，哪儿有一点垂死之兆，这里不是真灵的埋骨之所，山岳巨猿跑到这里做什么？

However, the creature seemed vigorous and showed no signs of impending death. This place wasn't where true spirits were buried; why had the Mountain Giant Ape come here?

chú le chà yì hái shì chà yì 。

除了诧异还是诧异。

All that remained was astonishment.

lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， jiù zài bù yuǎn chù ， hái yǒu yī páng rán dà wù ， yǔ shān yuè jù yuán duì chí 。

林轩缓缓转过头颅，就在不远处，还有一庞然大物，与山岳巨猿对持。

Lin Xuan slowly turned his head to see another enormous creature standing nearby, facing off with the Mountain Giant Ape.

tóng yàng shì shēn gāo shù bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， ràng rén kàn shàng yī yǎn jiù dà gǎn chà yì ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì 。

同样是身高数百丈有余，让人看上一眼就大感诧异，即便以林轩的城府，也不由得倒吸了一口凉气。

Both were towering hundreds of feet high, causing Lin Xuan to feel a sense of shock. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but take in a deep breath.

dà qiān shì jiè ， hái zhēn shì wú qí bù yǒu ， jū rán shì yī huǒ yàn jù rén 。

大千世界，还真是无奇不有，居然是一火焰巨人。

The vast world truly had no limits; it was a flame giant.

zhù yì ， bú shì pǔ tōng yì yì shàng de jù rén ， zhè jiā huo ， hún shēn shì yóu jīng chún yǐ jí de huǒ yàn xíng chéng de ， méi yǒu xuè ròu gǔ gé ， tōng tǐ dōu shì liè huǒ 。

注意，不是普通意义上的巨人，这家伙，浑身是由精纯以极的火焰形成的，没有血肉骨骼，通体都是烈火。

Not an ordinary giant, this creature's entire body was formed from extremely pure flames, without any flesh or bones. Its entire body was engulfed by intense heat.

yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， zhè yàng de qí jǐng yě shì bù céng jiàn guò 。

以林轩见识广博，这样的奇景也是不曾见过。

Lin Xuan, with his extensive knowledge, had never seen such a spectacle before.

tiān shēng huǒ líng me ？

天生火灵么？

A naturally born fire spirit?

kě jí biàn shì liè huǒ tōng líng ， yòu zěn me kě néng xíng chéng rú cǐ tǐ xíng páng bó de shēng wù 。

可即便是烈火通灵，又怎么可能形成如此体型磅礴的生物。

Even if the flames were highly intelligent, how could they form such a massive creature?

lín xuān jīn tiān ， shì yǒu dà kāi yǎn jiè zhī gǎn le 。

林轩今天，是有大开眼界之感了。

Today, Lin Xuan felt like he was broadening his horizons significantly.

tū rán ， lín xuān gǎn jué tǐ nèi de huàn líng tiān huǒ què yuè qǐ lái le 。

突然，林轩感觉体内的幻灵天火雀跃起来了。

Suddenly, Lin Xuan sensed the Phantom Heavenly Fire within him jumping with excitement. If not for his willpower suppressing it, it might have flown out on its own to attack that enormous flame.

ruò bú shì lín xuān yòng fǎ lì yā zhì ， shuō bù dìng jiù yào zì jǐ fēi chū ， pū xiàng nà jù dà de liè huǒ 。

若不是林轩用法力压制，说不定就要自己飞出，扑向那巨大的烈火。

It's no wonder this is a fire spirit; can the Phantom Heavenly Fire continue to advance by utilizing it?

bù kuì shì huǒ líng shēng chéng de shēng wù ， huàn líng tiān huǒ jiè zhù tā ， kě yǐ jì xù jìn jí me ？

不愧是火灵生成的生物，幻灵天火借助它，可以继续晋级么？

Lin Xuan had insights as he realized both these massive creatures could be of great use—whether they were the Flame Giant or the Mountain Giant Ape. The former would help perfect the Phantom Heavenly Fire, while the latter would greatly benefit his True Spirit Sword Art.

lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu le gǎn wù ， yǎn qián de liǎng tóu páng rán dà wù ， bù lùn shì huǒ yàn jù rén yě hǎo ， hái shì shān yuè jù yuán yě bà ， duì zì jǐ dōu dà yǒu yòng chǔ 。

林轩心中有了感悟，眼前的两头庞然大物，不论是火焰巨人也好，还是山岳巨猿也罢，对自己都大有用处。

But Lin Xuan didn't act rashly.

yí gè kě yǐ wán shàn huàn líng tiān huǒ ， yí gè ， duì yú zhēn líng huà jiàn jué de hǎo chù bú yòng shuō 。

一个可以完善幻灵天火，一个，对于真灵化剑诀的好处不用说。

After all, though he was a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator with Mo'er's assistance, facing the Mountain Giant Ape wasn't something he could handle. He had no confidence in winning against it and might not even be able to escape if defeated.

lín xuān xīn zhōng kě wàng zhe 。

林轩心中渴望着。

Treasures were tempting, but one needed to have the means to use them.

dàn tā méi yǒu qīng jǔ wàng dòng 。

但他没有轻举妄动。

Without any certainty, Lin Xuan wouldn’t act impulsively; waiting for an opportunity was a smarter choice.

kāi wán xiào ， lín xuān rú jīn suī shì dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hái yǒu yuè ér cóng páng xiāng zhù ， dàn shān yuè jù yuán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， yǔ tā duì shàng kě shì méi yǒu fēn háo bǎ wò 。

开玩笑，林轩如今虽是渡劫中期的修仙者，还有月儿从旁相助，但山岳巨猿非同小可，与它对上可是没有分毫把握。

Both of these massive creatures stood on the lava lake, yet they didn't seem bothered by its heat. The Flame Giant was understandable since it was already a fire spirit. However, the Mountain Giant Ape's defensive capabilities were impressive, and it was indeed one of the strongest true spirits.

zài jiā shàng huǒ yàn jù rén fēi bài bù kě ， néng gòu luò huāng ér táo dōu suàn yùn qì bù cuò 。

再加上火焰巨人非败不可，能够落荒而逃都算运气不错。

Facing either would be challenging for Lin Xuan, so he remained hidden, waiting for an opportunity to act.

bǎo wù suī rán lìng rén xīn dòng ， dàn yě yào yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái kě 。

宝物虽然令人心动，但也要有命享用才可。

Wait, why are these two creatures facing each other?

ruò wú bǎ wò ， lín xuān shì bú huì qīng jǔ wàng dòng de ， jìng guān qí biàn cái shì cōng míng rén de xuǎn zé 。

若无把握，林轩是不会轻举妄动的，静观其变才是聪明人的选择。

Given their strength, they should have comparable intelligence. Without any conflict of interest, how could they possibly start fighting?

cǐ shí ， liǎng tóu páng rán dà wù dōu zhì shēn yú yán jiāng hú ， rán ér gǔn tàng de yán jiāng tā men què yì diǎn dōu bù zài hū 。

此时，两头庞然大物都置身于岩浆湖，然而滚烫的岩浆他们却一点都不在乎。

Lin Xuan quietly extended his divine sense, being extremely cautious not to be detected.

huǒ yàn jù rén yě jiù bà le ， bì jìng tā běn shēn jiù shì huǒ líng zhī tǐ ， shān yuè jù yuán de fáng yù lì zé lìng rén cè mù ， bù kuì shì zài zhēn líng zhōng dū suàn jí wéi qiáng dà de cún zài le 。

火焰巨人也就罢了，毕竟它本身就是火灵之体，山岳巨猿的防御力则令人侧目，不愧是在真灵中都算极为强大的存在了。

A roar echoed in his ears.

duì shàng rèn hé yí gè ， lín xuān dōu méi yǒu bǎ wò ， suǒ yǐ yǐn zài yī páng jìng dài shí jī 。

对上任何一个，林轩都没有把握，所以隐在一旁静待时机。

The Mountain Giant Ape was naturally a temperamental creature, and even as a true spirit, its temperament hadn't changed.

děng děng ， zhè liǎng gè jiā huo wèi hé huì duì zhì ne ？

等等，这两个家伙为何会对峙呢？

After prolonged confrontation, it seemed impatient. Raising its head, it pounded its fists together like drums, causing the ground to tremble with each movement.

àn lǐ shuō ， shí lì dào le tā men nà ge děng jí ， kěn dìng huì yǒu bù xùn sè yú rén lèi de líng zhì ， ruò wú lì hài chōng tū ， zěn me kě néng dǎ qǐ lái ne ？

按理说，实力到了它们那个等级，肯定会有不逊色于人类的灵智，若无利害冲突，怎么可能打起来呢？

Then, fierce light flashed from its eyes, and it opened its blood-red mouth.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān bù yóu de qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩不由得悄然将神识放出。

A beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, shot out, surrounded by blue lightning. The impact was overwhelming.

dāng rán ， shì hěn xiǎo xīn ， hěn xiǎo xīn de ， fǒu zé ， yí dàn bèi tā men fā xiàn zì jǐ jiè rù ， nà kě jiù shì fú huò nán liào le 。

当然，是很小心，很小心的，否则，一旦被它们发现自己介入，那可就是福祸难料了。

This single strike could kill a cultivator at the early Golden Immortal stage.

lín xuān kě bù xiǎng tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， hái méi yǒu dé dào dīng diǎn hǎo chù ， fǎn bèi juǎn rù wēi xiǎn lǐ 。

林轩可不想偷鸡不成蚀把米，还没有得到丁点好处，反被卷入危险里。

As they say, a true name brings true strength; this saying applied to true spirits as well.

áo ！

嗷！

But the Flame Giant showed no fear and similarly opened its mouth, spewing a fireball the size of a small house. The heat was intense, trailing long flames like a meteorite, creating an astonishing spectacle.

yī shēng páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

一声咆哮传入耳朵。

Boom!

shān yuè jù yuán yuán běn jiù shì pí qì bào zào de shēng wù ， nǎ pà chéng wéi zhēn líng ， zhè yì diǎn yě bú huì yǒu suǒ gǎi biàn de 。

山岳巨猿原本就是脾气暴躁的生物，哪怕成为真灵，这一点也不会有所改变的。

The two massive creatures were not far apart. Almost instantly, the beam of light collided with the fireball in mid-air.

cháng jiǔ de duì zhì ， xiǎn rán ràng tā yǒu xiē bù nài fán le ， yáng qǐ tóu lú ， liǎng gè quán tou zài xiōng qián yǒu rú léi gǔ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， zhěng gè dà dì dōu wèi zhī chàn dǒu qǐ lái le 。

长久的对峙，显然让它有些不耐烦了，扬起头颅，两个拳头在胸前有如擂鼓，随着它的动作，整个大地都为之颤抖起来了。

Silent and invisible!

suí hòu zhǐ jiàn jù yuán yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng sì shè ， yī zhāng xuè pén dà kǒu 。

随后只见巨猿眼中凶光四射，一张血盆大口。

Then, the space ripples like water waves.

dùn shí ， cóng lǐ miàn pēn chū yī dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de guāng bō ， biǎo miàn chán rào zhe wèi lán sè de diàn hú ， shēng shì jīng rén dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。

顿时，从里面喷出一道直径丈许的光波，表面缠绕着蔚蓝色的电弧，声势惊人到无以复加的地步。

Tsunami of Flames!

jǐn zhè yī jī ， jiù zú yǐ miǎo shā dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。

仅这一击，就足以秒杀渡劫初期的修仙者。

It was impossible to describe the scene; black light, red glow, blue lightning intertwined, exploding loudly.

sú huà shuō shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì ， zhè jù huà yòng zài zhēn líng shēn shàng ， yě shì tóng yàng shì yòng dì 。

俗话说盛名之下无虚士，这句话用在真灵身上，也是同样适用地。

Everything in its path was shattered. Nearby mountain peaks were the biggest victims, seemingly evaporated rather than collapsing.

rán ér nà huǒ yàn jù rén què háo wú suǒ jù ， tóng yàng shì yī zhāng zuǐ ， pēn chū yī gé lóu dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú ， rè làng tāo tiān ， tuō zhe cháng cháng de wěi yàn ， rú liú xīng zhuì dì yì bān de ， shēng shì jīng rén dào le jí diǎn 。

然而那火焰巨人却毫无所惧，同样是一张嘴，喷出一阁楼大小的火球，热浪滔天，拖着长长的尾焰，如流星坠地一般的，声势惊人到了极点。

But Lin Xuan remained unaffected as he had left early enough.

hōng ！

轰！

No winner or loser!

liǎng tóu páng rán dà wù yuán běn jiù zhàn dé bù yuǎn ， jī hū zhǎ yǎn jiān ， guāng bō yǔ huǒ qiú jiù zài bàn kōng zhōng xiāng chù 。

两头庞然大物原本就站得不远，几乎眨眼间，光波与火球就在半空中相触。

The Flame Giant managed to block the Mountain Giant Ape's attack without any injuries.

wú shēng wú xī ！

无声无息！

Anger surged through the Mountain Giant Ape.

suí hòu zhěng gè kōng jiān rú tóng shuǐ bō yì bān de dàng yàng qǐ lái 。

随后整个空间如同水波一般的荡漾起来。

With a roar, it charged forward. As true spirits, they possessed immense strength, comparable to true dragons. Thus, their innate abilities weren't flashy spells but close combat.

è làng tāo tiān ！

恶浪滔天！

Relying on its divine power alone was enough to win.

nà chǎng jǐng nán yǐ yán shù ， hēi guāng ， hóng máng ， lán sè de shǎn diàn hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， suí hòu pī lǐ pā lā de bào liè le kāi lái 。

那场景难以言述，黑光，红芒，蓝色的闪电互相交织，随后噼里啪啦的爆裂了开来。

Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched. He excelled in physical cultivation, his body far more resilient than those of his peers at the same stage, and he had even grasped the laws of strength.

suǒ guò zhī chù ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， quán bù fěn suì diào le ， fù jìn de jǐ zuò shān fēng shì zuì dà de shòu hài zhě ， bú shì tā xiàn ， ér shì fǎng fú bèi zhēng fā diào le 。

所过之处，所有的一切，全部粉碎掉了，附近的几座山峰是最大的受害者，不是塌陷，而是仿佛被蒸发掉了。

But he dared not engage in close combat with the Mountain Giant Ape. As the other raised its fist, it wasn't just the law of strength; it was using this power to its utmost extent.

bù guò lín xuān què shì sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， yīn wèi tā jiàn jī dé kuài ， tí zǎo yī bù lí kāi 。

不过林轩却是丝毫影响也无，因为他见机得快，提早一步离开。

The void was pierced, and the force of this punch was... almost on par with aprimordial spirit treasure.

bù fēn shèng fù ！

不分胜负！

However, the Flame Giant didn't dodge but instead stood resolutely in front of it. Lin Xuan couldn’t help his pupils dilating. This… was too formidable.

zhè huǒ yàn jù rén jū rán jiāng shān yuè jù yuán de gōng jī dǎng zhù ， shēn shàng sī háo shāng hén yě wú 。

这火焰巨人居然将山岳巨猿的攻击挡住，身上丝毫伤痕也无。

There were creatures daring to engage in close combat with the Mountain Giant Ape. Even true dragons wouldn't do so unless absolutely necessary.

shān yuè jù yuán dà nù 。

山岳巨猿大怒。

Boom!

páo xiāo shēng zhōng ， mài kāi dà bù ， yǐ chōng shàng qù le 。

咆哮声中，迈开大步，已冲上去了。

A deafening sound echoed as this punch hit hard, piercing through the Flame Giant's chest.

zuò wèi zhēn líng ， qí lì dà wú qióng ， bǐ zhī zhēn lóng ， yì bú huì yǒu bàn diǎn xùn sè ， suǒ yǐ qí tiān fù shén tōng ， bú shì shén me xuàn mù dì fǎ shù ， ér shì jìn shēn ròu bó 。

做为真灵，其力大无穷，比之真龙，亦不会有半点逊色，所以其天赋神通，不是什么炫目的法术，而是近身肉搏。

But the other showed no signs of pain, acting like nothing had happened. Instead, it advanced another step and raised its hands high, raining down fist after fist on the ape.

kào zhe yī shēn shén lì ， jiù zú yǐ zhì shèng kè dí 。

靠着一身神力，就足以致胜克敌。

Boom… Boom… Boom…

lín xuān méi tóu tiào le tiào ， tā yì shàn cháng liàn tǐ shù ， ròu shēn jiān rèn chéng dù ， yuǎn shèng tóng jiē yāo zú ， hái jiāng lì liàng fǎ zé lǐng wù 。

林轩眉头跳了跳，他亦擅长炼体术，肉身坚韧程度，远胜同阶妖族，还将力量法则领悟。

Each punch sent up a shower of flames.

dàn yě jué bù gǎn yǔ shān yuè jù yuán ， ròu bó jìn zhàn ， zhǐ jiàn duì fāng quán tou yī wǔ ， dài dòng de qǐ zhǐ shì lì liàng fǎ zé 。

但也绝不敢与山岳巨猿，肉搏近战，只见对方拳头一舞，带动的岂止是力量法则。

The giant ape was forced to retreat a step. Lin Xuan could see that while the Flame Giant's punches weren't as powerful as the other’s, they had an added effect of fire.

jiǎn zhí shì jiāng cǐ zhǒng fǎ zé zhī lì ， yùn yòng dào jí zhì le 。

简直是将此种法则之力，运用到极致了。
