jiàn máng rú yǔ ， bù guò sàn fà chū lái de guāng zé què shì qīng huī sè dì ， yǔ yī páng de è jiāo xiāng yìng chéng qù ， suí hòu yǔ lín xuān de gōng jī xiāng zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。.
剑芒如雨，不过散发出来的光泽却是青灰色地，与一旁的恶蛟相映成趣，随后与林轩的攻击相撞在一起。.
The sword light fell like rain, but the emitted glow was a bluish-gray, mirroring the ferocity of the vicious jiao. It then collided with Lin Xuan's attack.
nà chǎng miàn ， nán yǐ yán yù ， xū kōng bèi sī pò ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dào chù dōu mí màn zhe hùn luàn de tiān dì fǎ zé 。
那场面，难以言喻，虚空被撕破，方圆数里，到处都弥漫着混乱的天地法则。
The scene was indescribable; the void was torn apart, and chaos reigned within a radius of several miles as the laws of heaven and earth were disrupted.
chī chī shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù bèi è jiāo de páo xiāo shēng yǎn gài diào le 。
嗤嗤声不绝于耳朵，但很快，就被恶蛟的咆哮声掩盖掉了。
Whistling sounds filled his ears, but soon they were drowned out by the vicious jiao’s roars.
qīng huī sè de jiāo lóng ， hún shēn jiē sàn fà zhe sǐ qì ， yǔ wǔ yán liù sè de líng jiāo zhuàng zài le yì qǐ ， pán xuán fēi wǔ ， hù xiāng yòng yá chǐ yǔ lì zhuǎ sī dǎ zhe 。
青灰色的蛟龙，浑身皆散发着死气，与五颜六色的灵蛟撞在了一起，盘旋飞舞，互相用牙齿与利爪撕打着。
The bluish-gray dragon, exuding an aura of death, clashed with the colorful spirit jiao. They spiraled and danced, tearing at each other with their teeth and claws.
zài zhè yàng de wēi néng xià ， tiān kōng yì zhèn hàn bù yǐ ， yī piàn jiē yī piàn de tā xiàn le xià qù 。
在这样的威能下，天空亦震撼不已，一片接一片的塌陷了下去。
Under such power, the sky was also shaken; one after another, sections of it crumbled.
shì jūn lì dí ！
势均力敌！
Equal in strength!
lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì chà yì ， zhè jìng zi mú yàng de bǎo wù ， jū rán jiāng zì jǐ de gōng jī fǎn shè huí lái le 。
林轩的脸上满是诧异，这镜子模样的宝物，居然将自己的攻击反射回来了。
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise as this mirror-like treasure reflected his attack back to him.
bù …… yě bù néng zhè me shuō 。
不……也不能这么说。
No... not exactly.
zhèng què de shuō ， shì mó nǐ ， mó nǐ le bǎi lóng zhī yá yǔ xiān jiàn tú de gōng jī 。
正确的说，是模拟，模拟了百龙之牙与仙剑图的攻击。
More accurately, it had simulated the attacks from Hundred Dragon Fang and Immortal Sword Diagram. But that was too incredible.
dàn zhè yě wèi miǎn tài bù kě sī yì 。
但这也未免太不可思议。
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Xuan would have found it hard to believe what happened before his eyes.
ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， lín xuān jiǎn zhí bù gǎn xiāng xìn yǎn qián suǒ fā shēng de yí mù 。
若非亲眼目睹，林轩简直不敢相信眼前所发生的一幕。
This guy was too formidable.
zhè jiā huo wèi miǎn yě tài biāo hàn le 。
这家伙未免也太彪悍了。
A spirit race elder, so powerful.
líng zú lǎo zǔ ， jū rán qiáng dà dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
灵族老祖，居然强大到如此地步。
But Lin Xuan's competitive spirit was also ignited.
dàn lín xuān de hào shèng xīn ， yě yīn cǐ bèi jī qǐ lái le 。
但林轩的好胜心，也因此被激起来了。
I don’t believe this; a mere peer-level cultivator today will not defeat me.
wǒ hái bù xiāng xìn le ， qū qū yī míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， běn shào yé jīn tiān jiù dǎ bù guò 。
我还不相信了，区区一名同阶修仙者，本少爷今天就打不过。
The sighs reached his ears as Lin Xuan decided to retract the treasure.
tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān gān cuì shōu le bǎo wù 。
叹息声传入耳朵，林轩干脆收了宝物。
Attack over!
gōng jī gào yí duàn luò ！
攻击告一段落！
With that action, the bluish-gray sword light and dragon vanished from sight.
ér suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， qián fāng nà qīng huī sè de jiàn guāng yǔ jiāo lóng yě tóng yàng xiāo shī diào le 。
而随着他的动作，前方那青灰色的剑光与蛟龙也同样消失掉了。
Lin Xuan did not show any surprise on his face. Although he didn't understand how the opponent had mimicked his attack, it was undoubtedly related to the artifact he used. If he stopped, the other party would surely be unable to continue.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， suī rán bù míng bái ， duì fāng zěn me mó nǐ le zì jǐ de gōng jī ， dàn kěn dìng yǔ zì jǐ shī zhǎn de fǎ bǎo yǒu guān xì ， zì jǐ ruò shì tíng shǒu ， tā kěn dìng yě jiù jìn xíng bù xià qù 。
林轩脸上并没有露出意外之色，虽然不明白，对方怎么模拟了自己的攻击，但肯定与自己施展的法宝有关系，自己若是停手，他肯定也就进行不下去。
From afar, thunderous sounds continued to reach his ears; Mo'er’s battle against the spirit race's holy maiden seemed no less smooth. By now, they were evenly matched, with neither clearly winning or losing.
yuǎn chù ， hōng míng shēng hái zài bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuè ér duì shàng líng zú shèng nǚ ， sì hū yě méi yǒu nà me shùn lì ， dǎ dào xiàn zài ， dōu shì yī fù shèng fù nán fēn de yàng zi 。
远处，轰鸣声还在不停的传入耳朵，月儿对上灵族圣女，似乎也没有那么顺利，打到现在，都是一副胜负难分的样子。
Fortunately, although the young girl was not on top, she wasn’t in a disadvantageous position either. The two women gave off an impression of being evenly matched.
hǎo zài xiǎo yā tou suī rán méi yǒu zhàn dào shàng fēng ， chǔ jìng què yě bìng fēi bù lì ， liǎng nǚ gěi rén de gǎn jué ， xiàng shì shì jūn lì dí 。
好在小丫头虽然没有占到上风，处境却也并非不利，两女给人的感觉，像是势均力敌。
Lin Xuan sighed; he didn't have time to dally any longer. After all, there were many spirit race members, and even if most were low-level cultivators, who knew if there were hidden experts?
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， tā méi yǒu shí jiān jì xù dān gē xià qù ， bì jìng líng zú rén duō ， suī rán dà bù fèn dōu shì dī jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn tiān zhī dào ， hái yǒu méi yǒu gāo shǒu yǐn cáng zhe 。
林轩叹了口气，他没有时间继续耽搁下去，毕竟灵族人多，虽然大部分都是低阶修仙者，但天知道，还有没有高手隐藏着。
If another Transcendence Realm powerhouse emerged, the situation on his side would be unfavorable.
ruò shì zài mào chū yī wèi dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě ， zì jǐ zhè biān de xíng shì kě jiù hěn bù lì le 。
若是再冒出一位渡劫级别的强者，自己这边的形势可就很不利了。
Although it was unlikely based on current circumstances, it wasn't impossible either. In any case... better safe than sorry. For him, a quick resolution was the best choice.
suī rán jiù rú jīn de qíng xíng tuī cè ， zhè ge kě néng xìng bù dà ， dàn yě bìng fēi yì diǎn yě wú ， zǒng zhī …… xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， sù zhàn sù jué shì zuì hǎo de xuǎn zé 。
虽然就如今的情形推测，这个可能姓不大，但也并非一点也无，总之……小心无大错，对自己来说，速战速决是最好的选择。
However, the spirit race elder's abilities were truly terrifying; it wouldn’t be easy to easily defeat him.
dàn líng zú lǎo zǔ de shén tōng zhe shí kě bù ， xiǎng yào qīng sōng ná xià tā shì méi yǒu nà me róng yì de 。
但灵族老祖的神通着实可怖，想要轻松拿下他是没有那么容易的。
He couldn’t hide his weaknesses and must use his hidden skills.
bù néng cáng zhuō ， bì xū dòng yòng yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu 。
不能藏拙，必须动用压箱底的功夫。
Lin Xuan’s gaze became resolute.
lín xuān de yǎn shén ， yī xià zi biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
林轩的眼神，一下子变得坚定起来了。
He had no other choice but to either use the Five Dragon Seal or unleash True Spirit Sword Formation.
tā méi yǒu gèng hǎo de xuǎn zé ， yào me wǔ lóng xǐ ， yào me jiù shì shī zhǎn chū zhēn líng huà jiàn jué le 。
他没有更好的选择，要么五龙玺，要么就是施展出真灵化剑诀了。
The former was undoubtedly more terrifying in terms of power, but for Lin Xuan, it was a last resort. He now had some vague understanding of the origin of the Five Dragon Seal; since he couldn’t be sure, he would avoid using it if possible.
qián zhě wú yí wēi lì gèng jiā de kě bù ， dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， què shì zuì hòu de xuǎn zé ， wǔ lóng xǐ zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， lín xuān xiàn zài duì tā de lái lì dōu yǒu yì diǎn mó hú ， jì rán nòng bù qīng chǔ ， dāng rán néng bù yòng jiù bù yòng le 。
前者无疑威力更加的可怖，但对林轩来说，却是最后的选择，五龙玺这件宝物，林轩现在对它的来历都有一点模糊，既然弄不清楚，当然能不用就不用了。
"True Spirit Sword Formation, I don't believe you can even mimic my divine technique."
“ zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ， wǒ bù xiāng xìn ， nǐ lián lín mǒu de zhè xiàng shén tōng ， dōu néng gòu mó fǎng de 。”
“真灵化剑诀，我不相信，你连林某的这项神通，都能够模仿的。”
Lin Xuan's muttering voice echoed in his ears as a cold smile appeared on his lips. He dared to say this because he was certain of his ability.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè 。
林轩喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，嘴角边露出一丝冷笑之色。
Firstly, True Spirit Sword Formation was based on the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword; secondly, it required the refinement of true spirit blood to be unleashed.
tā gǎn zhè me shuō ， zì rán shì yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò 。
他敢这么说，自然是有绝对的把握。
With these conditions acting as barriers, if the other party could perform such a feat, it would truly be astonishing.
yī lái ， zhēn líng huà jiàn jué yǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn wèi jī chǔ ， èr lái ， hái bì xū liàn huà zhēn líng zhī xuè cái néng shī zhǎn chū 。
一来，真灵化剑诀以九宫须臾剑为基础，二来，还必须炼化真灵之血才能施展出。
Thoughts racing through his mind, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He flicked his sleeves, and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword reappeared from within them like a fish swimming out of water.
yǒu zhè liǎng gè tiáo jiàn zuò wéi lán lù hǔ ， duì fāng ruò néng shī zhǎn nà zhēn shì duō duō guài shì le 。
有这两个条件作为拦路虎，对方若能施展那真是咄咄怪事了。
Following that, Lin Xuan's hands moved like butterflies, casting spell after spell from his fingertips.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān bù zài dān gē ， xiù páo yī fú ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn chóng xīn zì yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩不再耽搁，袖袍一拂，九宫须臾剑重新自衣袖中鱼游而出。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword emitted a dazzling glow, disappearing one by one.
suí hòu lín xuān liǎng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān fēi wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè ér chū 。
随后林轩两手如穿花蝴蝶一般飞舞，一道道法诀由指尖激射而出。
Traces vanished!
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn líng máng dà zuò ， jū rán yòu yī bǐng jiē yī bǐng de xiāo shī diào le 。
九宫须臾剑灵芒大做，居然又一柄接一柄的消失掉了。
Then, nine different colored lights shot forth from Lin Xuan’s body. Each light was blinding and the pressure they exuded was no less than that of an early-stage Transcendence Realm cultivator!
zōng jì quán wú ！
踪迹全无！
This was due to his current lack of strength; otherwise, if he had truly mastered True Spirit Sword Formation, each light would have emitted a pressure equivalent to late-stage Transcendence Realm.
suí hòu cóng lín xuān de shēn shàng ， què yǒu jiǔ dào bù tóng yán sè de guāng huá yī chōng ér chū ， měi yī dào guāng huá jiē yào yǎn cì mù ， sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā bù xùn sè yú dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ！
随后从林轩的身上，却有九道不同颜色的光华一冲而出，每一道光华皆耀眼刺目，散发出来的威压不逊色于渡劫初期的修仙者！
Nevertheless, it was still impressive.
zhè hái shì lín xuān shí lì bù zú ， fǒu zé ， zhēn jiāng zhēn líng huà jiàn jué xiū liàn zhì yú dà chéng de dì bù ， měi yī dào guāng huá suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā néng dào dù jié hòu qī de chéng dù 。
这还是林轩实力不足，否则，真将真灵化剑诀修炼至于大成的地步，每一道光华所散发出来的威压能到渡劫后期的程度。
A wave rippled through the air above the Jadeas desired. Then, like ripples in a lake stirred by the wind, a face appeared.
bù guò jí biàn rú cǐ ， yě zhe shí jīng rén le 。
不过即便如此，也着实惊人了。
Initially blurry, but soon its features became clear.
yù rú yì de shàng kōng ， kōng qì yī zhèn bō dòng ， suí hòu rú bèi fēng chuī zhòu de xiǎo hú ， yí gè miàn kǒng fú xiàn ér chū 。
玉如意的上空，空气一阵波动，随后如被风吹皱的小湖，一个面孔浮现而出。
Spirit Race Elder!
kāi shǐ yǒu xiē mó hú ， dàn hěn kuài wǔ guān jiù qīng xī qǐ lái le 。
开始有些模糊，但很快五官就清晰起来了。
This was somewhat similar to the Dharmic Form secret technique, yet there were significant differences. Lin Xuan couldn’t explain the exact subtleties.
líng zú lǎo zǔ ！
灵族老祖！
His face showed a serious expression.
zhè yǒu diǎn lèi sì yǔ fǎ xiàng mì shù ， dàn yòu yǒu hěn dà de bù tóng zhī chù ， jù tǐ xuán miào zài nǎ lǐ ， lín xuān yě shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
这有点类似与法相秘术，但又有很大的不同之处，具体玄妙在哪里，林轩也说不清楚。
As they say, an expert can tell by just one move whether something is genuine or not. Although he didn't know what secret technique Lin Xuan would use, he felt an inexplicable fear.
tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè 。
他的脸上满是凝重之色。
It was as if a great calamity was about to befall him!
sú huà shuō ， háng jia yī shēn shǒu ， jiù zhī yǒu méi yǒu ， suī rán hái bù qīng chǔ lín xuān jiāng yào shī zhǎn shén me mì shù ， dàn xīn zhōng ， yǐ mò míng de gǎn dào yī zhǒng wèi jù le 。
俗话说，行家一伸手，就知有没有，虽然还不清楚林轩将要施展什么秘术，但心中，已莫名的感到一种畏惧了。
The feeling came without reason.
fǎng fú dà huò lín tóu ！
仿佛大祸临头！
But at his level of strength, the omens in his heart could not be baseless; instead, they must be taken seriously.
nà gǎn jué háo méi lái yóu 。
那感觉毫没来由。
He couldn’t let the other party cast spells freely!
dàn shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， xīn tóu líng zhào zì rán bù kě néng shì wú dì fàng shǐ ， xiāng fǎn ， bì xū jiā bèi zhòng shì 。
但实力到了他这个等级，心头灵兆自然不可能是无的放矢，相反，必须加倍重视。
In an instant, the spirit race elder made up his mind. The Jadeas desired trembled as its surface emitted a burst of light. Accompanying this was a terrifying spiritual pressure descending from the heavens.
bù néng rèn yóu duì fāng shī fǎ ！
不能任由对方施法！
Then, the void was torn apart, and several beams of golden light appeared beside it.
qǐng kè jiān ， líng zú lǎo zǔ jiù zuò xià le jué duàn 。
顷刻间，灵族老祖就做下了决断。
Soon, those beams transformed into vortexes, initially no bigger than fists but rapidly expanding to a dozen feet in diameter.
suí hòu yù rú yì chàn dǒu qǐ lái ， biǎo miàn de líng máng ， gèng shì yī xià zi bào zhǎng le xǔ duō ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， shì yī gǔ kǒng bù de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò 。
随后玉如意颤抖起来，表面的灵芒，更是一下子暴涨了许多，与之伴随的，是一股恐怖的灵压从天而落。
From within these vortexes, countless red threads emerged.
suí hòu ， xū kōng bèi sī pò ， jǐ dào jīn guāng ， zài tā páng biān liàng qǐ le 。
随后，虚空被撕破，几道金光，在它旁边亮起了。
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed; he could see that these threads were like flying needles, precious treasures. Their number was vast, and their momentum rivaled thousands of sword lights.
hěn kuài ， nà jīn guāng biàn chéng le xuán wō ， kāi shǐ bù guò quán tou dà yī diǎn ， hěn kuài ， jiù bào zhǎng dào zhàng xǔ fāng yuán 。
很快，那金光变成了漩涡，开始不过拳头大一点，很快，就暴涨到丈许方圆。
But what did it matter?
cóng nà xuán wō zhōng ， fēi chū wú shù dào hóng xiàn 。
从那漩涡中，飞出无数到红线。
Facing such an attack, Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， kàn de qīng chǔ ， nà hóng xiàn shì yī zhǒng lèi sì yú fēi zhēn de bǎo wù 。
林轩眼睛微眯，看得清楚，那红线是一种类似于飞针的宝物。
He clutched his hands, and a surge of powerful magical energy surged forth like a tidal wave.
shù liàng jí duō ， shēng shì ， bǐ zhī wàn qiān jiàn guāng yě bù xùn sè 。
数量极多，声势，比之万千剑光也不逊色。
Accompanying this was the sound of a clear phoenix call, its source emitting blinding red light.
bù guò ， nà yòu rú hé ？
不过，那又如何？
Then, he saw a sea of flames. In the midst of these flames, a lifelike phoenix emerged, soaring towards the heavens.
miàn duì zhè yàng de gōng jī ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān què mǎn shì jī cháo zhī yì 。
面对这样的攻击，林轩嘴角边却满是讥嘲之意。
The phoenix’s cry echoed across the sky as it spread its wings, each wing spanning over a hundred feet. Its form was that of the true king among all birds.
shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī gǔ pēng pài de fǎ lì ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān de kuáng yǒng ér chū 。
双手一握，一股澎湃的法力，如海潮怒涛一般的狂涌而出。
A regal aura emanated from it, making all creatures bow in submission.
yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， shì yī shēng liáo liàng de fèng míng chuán rù le ěr duǒ ， shēng yīn chuán lái de dì fāng ， kě jiàn cì mù yào yǎn de hóng máng 。
与之伴随的，是一声嘹亮的凤鸣传入了耳朵，声音传来的地方，可见刺目耀眼的红芒。
With one flap of its wings, the flames transformed into countless red divine arrows, launched like from powerful bows and crossbows towards those suspected flying needle treasures.
suí hòu ， biàn kàn jiàn le màn tiān de huǒ guāng ， nà zài liè huǒ zhī zhōng ， dàn shēng le yī zhī xǔ xǔ rú shēng de fèng huáng ， fǎng fú zhí chōng rù le jiǔ xiāo zhī shàng 。
随后，便看见了漫天的火光，那在烈火之中，诞生了一只栩栩如生的凤凰，仿佛直冲入了九霄之上。
Clanging sounds filled his ears as spiritual light and flames clashed. The momentum was astonishing, but this was just the beginning.
fèng míng jiǔ tiān ， zhǎn chì áo xiáng ， yì zhǎn zú yǒu bǎi yú zhàng ， nà xíng tài ， jiù rú tóng zhēn zhèng de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng 。
凤鸣九天，展翅翱翔，翼展足有百余丈，那形态，就如同真正的百鸟之王。
Beside it, Zhu Que controlled purple-red flames, Red Lotus Fire capable of burning everything to ashes, even melting the void itself into a blaze.
wáng zhě zhī qì sàn fà ér chū ， wàn wù chén fú 。
王者之气散发而出，万物臣服。
Roar!
liǎng zhǐ chì bǎng yī shàn ， huǒ yàn huà wèi le yī méi méi chì hóng de xiān jiàn ， rú bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè ， xiàng zhe nà xiē yí sì fēi zhēn fǎ bǎo de hóng xiàn fēi guò qù le 。
两只翅膀一扇，火焰化为了一枚枚赤红的仙箭，如被强弓硬弩发射，向着那些疑似飞针法宝的红线飞过去了。
A mighty roar echoed, another colossal figure emerging. Its robust body was no less than that of a small mountain, exuding fierce energy.
dīng dīng dāng dāng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， líng guāng huǒ yàn jī shè ， shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， dàn zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。
叮叮当当声传入耳朵，灵光火焰激射，声势惊人以极，但这仅仅是开始。
"Mountain Ape!"
jiù zài tā de páng biān ， zhū què cǎo kòng zhe zǐ hóng sè de huǒ yàn ， hóng lián zhī huǒ ， néng gòu fén jǐn wàn wù ， xū kōng dōu bèi róng huà diǎn rán 。
就在它的旁边，朱雀艹控着紫红色的火焰，红莲之火，能够焚尽万物，虚空都被融化点燃。
The spirit race elder's face had turned an extreme shade of gray.
hǒu ！
吼！
"Not bad, friend; your knowledge is indeed broad."
páo xiāo shēng dà zuò ， yòu yī páng rán dà wù fú xiàn ér chū ， zhuàng shuò de shēn tǐ ， bǐ zhī yī zuò xiǎo shān yě bù xùn sè ， xiōng lì zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。” shān yuè jù yuán ！”
咆哮声大做，又一庞然大物浮现而出，壮硕的身体，比之一座小山也不逊色，凶厉之气沛然而出。”山岳巨猿！”
Lin Xuan’s mood improved significantly as he casually watched the Mountain Ape take large strides towards the front.
The sword light fell like rain, but the emitted glow was a bluish-gray, mirroring the ferocity of the vicious jiao. It then collided with Lin Xuan's attack.
The scene was indescribable; the void was torn apart, and chaos reigned within a radius of several miles as the laws of heaven and earth were disrupted.
Whistling sounds filled his ears, but soon they were drowned out by the vicious jiao’s roars.
The bluish-gray dragon, exuding an aura of death, clashed with the colorful spirit jiao. They spiraled and danced, tearing at each other with their teeth and claws.
Under such power, the sky was also shaken; one after another, sections of it crumbled.
Equal in strength!
Lin Xuan's face showed surprise as this mirror-like treasure reflected his attack back to him.
No... not exactly.
More accurately, it had simulated the attacks from Hundred Dragon Fang and Immortal Sword Diagram. But that was too incredible.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Xuan would have found it hard to believe what happened before his eyes.
This guy was too formidable.
A spirit race elder, so powerful.
But Lin Xuan's competitive spirit was also ignited.
I don’t believe this; a mere peer-level cultivator today will not defeat me.
The sighs reached his ears as Lin Xuan decided to retract the treasure.
Attack over!
With that action, the bluish-gray sword light and dragon vanished from sight.
Lin Xuan did not show any surprise on his face. Although he didn't understand how the opponent had mimicked his attack, it was undoubtedly related to the artifact he used. If he stopped, the other party would surely be unable to continue.

"True Spirit Sword Formation, I don't believe you can even mimic my divine technique."
Lin Xuan's muttering voice echoed in his ears as a cold smile appeared on his lips. He dared to say this because he was certain of his ability.
Firstly, True Spirit Sword Formation was based on the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword; secondly, it required the refinement of true spirit blood to be unleashed.
With these conditions acting as barriers, if the other party could perform such a feat, it would truly be astonishing.
Thoughts racing through his mind, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He flicked his sleeves, and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword reappeared from within them like a fish swimming out of water.

The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword emitted a dazzling glow, disappearing one by one.

As they say, an expert can tell by just one move whether something is genuine or not. Although he didn't know what secret technique Lin Xuan would use, he felt an inexplicable fear.
It was as if a great calamity was about to befall him!
The feeling came without reason.
But at his level of strength, the omens in his heart could not be baseless; instead, they must be taken seriously.
He couldn’t let the other party cast spells freely!
In an instant, the spirit race elder made up his mind. The Jadeas desired trembled as its surface emitted a burst of light. Accompanying this was a terrifying spiritual pressure descending from the heavens.
Then, the void was torn apart, and several beams of golden light appeared beside it.
Soon, those beams transformed into vortexes, initially no bigger than fists but rapidly expanding to a dozen feet in diameter.
From within these vortexes, countless red threads emerged.
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed; he could see that these threads were like flying needles, precious treasures. Their number was vast, and their momentum rivaled thousands of sword lights.
But what did it matter?
Facing such an attack, Lin Xuan's lips curled in mockery.
He clutched his hands, and a surge of powerful magical energy surged forth like a tidal wave.
Accompanying this was the sound of a clear phoenix call, its source emitting blinding red light.
Then, he saw a sea of flames. In the midst of these flames, a lifelike phoenix emerged, soaring towards the heavens.
The phoenix’s cry echoed across the sky as it spread its wings, each wing spanning over a hundred feet. Its form was that of the true king among all birds.
A regal aura emanated from it, making all creatures bow in submission.
With one flap of its wings, the flames transformed into countless red divine arrows, launched like from powerful bows and crossbows towards those suspected flying needle treasures.
Clanging sounds filled his ears as spiritual light and flames clashed. The momentum was astonishing, but this was just the beginning.
Beside it, Zhu Que controlled purple-red flames, Red Lotus Fire capable of burning everything to ashes, even melting the void itself into a blaze.
Roar!
A mighty roar echoed, another colossal figure emerging. Its robust body was no less than that of a small mountain, exuding fierce energy.
"Mountain Ape!"
The spirit race elder's face had turned an extreme shade of gray.
"Not bad, friend; your knowledge is indeed broad."
Lin Xuan’s mood improved significantly as he casually watched the Mountain Ape take large strides towards the front.
