lín xuān lüè yī chén yín ， dà xiù sà rán wǎng yāo jiān yī fú ， dàn jiàn líng guāng yào mù ， shù gè dà xiǎo bù yī de yù píng zì yāo jiān fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩略一沉吟，大袖飒然往腰间一拂，但见灵光耀目，数个大小不一的玉瓶自腰间飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then his wide sleeves fluttered to his waist. A few jade bottles of varying sizes flew out from his belt.
zhè qí jiān yǒu wàn nián líng rǔ ， hái yǒu qí tā zhēn xī yì cháng de dān yào bǎo wù ， biàn shì lín xuān píng cháng yě shě bù dé tūn fú ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zì rán bù kě néng zài cáng zhe yē zhe 。
这其间有万年灵乳，还有其他珍稀异常的丹药宝物，便是林轩平常也舍不得吞服，但此时此刻，自然不可能再藏着掖着。
Inside these bottles were rare and precious medicinal pills and treasures, ones Lin Xuan usually wouldn't dare consume even in normal times. But now was not the time to be stingy.
jīng lì le gāng cái de nà yī fān biàn gù ， zì jǐ de zhuàng tài kě shì bìng bù tài hǎo de ， fǎ lì bù guò quán shèng zhuàng tài de qī chéng ér yǐ 。
经历了刚才的那一番变故，自己的状态可是并不太好的，法力不过全盛状态的七成而已。
After the recent changes, he wasn’t at full strength; his magical power had only reached seventy percent of its peak.
jiù zhè yàng dù jié ， wèi miǎn tài wēi xiǎn le yī xiē 。
就这样渡劫，未免太危险了一些。
Thus, Lin Xuan swallowed various spirit pills without hesitation, even if it meant some wastage. After all, every bit of recovered magical power increased his chances of surviving this ordeal.
gù ér lín xuān cái rěn tòng jiāng gè zhǒng líng dān miào yào tūn fú ， jí biàn yǒu xiē làng fèi yě zhǐ hǎo zhì zhī bù gù 。
故而林轩才忍痛将各种灵丹妙药吞服，即便有些浪费也只好置之不顾。
With his keen judgment, the importance was clear to him. He didn't need to elaborate on this process; quickly, he gulped down the contents of several jade bottles.
bì jìng duō huī fù yī fèn fǎ lì ， jiù duō yī fèn dù jié de bǎ wò 。
毕竟多恢复一份法力，就多一份渡劫的把握。
He took a deep breath and felt his magical power recover significantly, though it still wasn’t enough for absolute safety.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， shú qīng shú zhòng zì rán shì līn dé qīng de 。
以林轩的城府，孰轻孰重自然是拎得清的。
Above him, the celestial phenomena became more prominent. This place being a true spirit sanctuary, the aura was already dense. Now, most of the area's qi had converged here.
zhè ge guò chéng bù yòng lèi shù ， hěn kuài ， shù gè yù píng zhōng suǒ zhuāng de líng yào jiù bèi lín xuān láng tūn hǔ yàn de tūn luò rù dù 。
这个过程不用累述，很快，数个玉瓶中所装的灵药就被林轩狼吞虎咽的吞落入肚。
Clouds appeared above Lin Xuan, some extending far into the distance, others with diameters as large as an acre, colorful and strikingly beautiful.
tā shēn shēn hū xī ， guǒ rán huī fù le bù shǎo fǎ lì ， dàn jù lí gāo zhěn wú yōu hái yáo bù kě jí 。
他深深呼吸，果然恢复了不少法力，但距离高枕无忧还遥不可及。
Beautiful indeed!
ér cǐ kè ， tóu dǐng de tiān xiàng yuè fā de rě yǎn wú bǐ 。
而此刻，头顶的天象越发的惹眼无比。
But Lin Xuan’s expression was grim. Behind this beauty lay the power of heavenly retribution and thunderous force.
zhè lǐ zuò wèi zhēn líng shèng dì ， líng qì yuán běn jiù nóng yù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhěng gè kōng jiān de líng qì ， gèng shì dà bàn huì jù yú le zhè lǐ 。
这里做为真灵圣地，灵气原本就浓郁，此时此刻，整个空间的灵气，更是大半汇聚于了这里。
Whether he could safely endure it remained uncertain.
lín xuān de tóu dǐng ， yǐ jīng chū xiàn le yī duǒ yī duǒ de yún cǎi 。
林轩的头顶，已经出现了一朵一朵的云彩。
He didn’t dare delay; his wide sleeves fluttered again, releasing several sets of array flags. Each one shimmered with magical energy, clearly not ordinary items.
dà xiǎo bù yī 。
大小不一。
Lin Xuan’s eyes were sharp—he had meticulously collected these array flags over the years. Each possessed unique power, and he now deployed them all around him.
dà de yán zhǎn dào le yuǎn chù tiān jì ， xiǎo de zhí jìng yě yǒu mǔ xǔ ， wǔ yán liù sè de xiǎn de duó mù yǐ jí 。
大的延展到了远处天际，小的直径也有亩许，五颜六色的显得夺目以极。
With swift hand movements, incantations shot from his fingertips as he skillfully arranged every flag at his sides. Some sank into the ground, others merged with the void.
jiù yí gè cí ， měi lì ！
就一个词，美丽！
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as numerous stone pillars emerged from the earth, numbering over a hundred.
rán ér lín xuān de liǎn sè ， què yīn mái wú bǐ 。
然而林轩的脸色，却阴霾无比。
They spread out in a star-like pattern around Lin Xuan.
yīn wèi zhè měi lì bèi hòu ， yùn yù zhe de shì tiān jié zhī wēi ， léi tíng zhī lì 。
因为这美丽背后，蕴育着的是天劫之威，雷霆之力。
Satisfied, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves again, and a colorful light appeared.
zì jǐ néng fǒu píng ān áo guò qù 。 xiàn zài hái zhēn shì shuō bù qīng chǔ dì 。
自己能否平安熬过去。现在还真是说不清楚地。
Afterward, it condensed into various weapons—swords, spears, and more. Each sparkled with magical energy, clearly valuable items obtained from his previous adventures.
tā bù gǎn dān gē chí yí ， dà xiù yī fú 。 yī lián qī 、 bā tào zhèn qí yóu yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。
他不敢耽搁迟疑，大袖一拂。一连七、八套阵旗由衣袖中飞掠而出。
Indeed, Lin Xuan possessed many more treasures than those visible here, each carefully selected for their potency.
měi yī tào jiē líng guāng shǎn shuò ， biǎo miàn fú wén pēn bó ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
每一套皆灵光闪烁，表面符文喷薄，一看就不是凡物。
Several were even comparable to divine artifacts, emitting dazzling light as they activated, subtly agitating the surrounding primordial qi.
lín xuān de yǎn guāng hé děng lí pǔ ， zhè xiē zhèn qí ， dōu shì tā zài guò wǎng de suì yuè lǐ ， jīng xīn shōu jí ér lái de 。
林轩的眼光何等离谱，这些阵旗，都是他在过往的岁月里，精心收集而来的。
They formed streaks of lightning and swirls of luminous energy, dancing around Lin Xuan.
wēi lì gè yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， cǐ shí lín xuān yě yī gǔ nǎo ná chū lái le 。
威力各有不凡之处，此时林轩也一股脑拿出来了。
His preparations concluded. If time had been ample, he could have done more. But with limited time, this was all he could manage.
shuāng shǒu lián lián huī wǔ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué yóu tā de zhǐ jiān jī shè 。 lín xuān shú mén shú lù ， jiāng suǒ yǒu de zhèn qí yí gè bù luò ， quán bù bù zhì zài le tā de shēn cè 。
双手连连挥舞，一道道法诀由他的指尖激射。林轩熟门熟路，将所有的阵旗一个不落，全部布置在了他的身侧。
Boom!
yǒu de mò rù ní tǔ ， yǒu de róng rù xū kōng 。
有的没入泥土，有的融入虚空。
A thunderous sound echoed as the heavenly retribution clouds fully formed above him, resembling a funnel vortex. The surrounding qi rushed in like moths to flame.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
Then, a massive fireball emerged from the vortex, ten zhang (about 30 feet) wide, hurtling towards Lin Xuan with tremendous force.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， hōng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng dì dǐ jìng rán mào chū lái le xǔ duō shí zhù ， shù liàng jí qí lí pǔ 。 cū lüè yī shù ， zú yǒu yì bǎi líng bā gēn zhī duō 。
随着他的动作，轰鸣声传入耳朵，从地底竟然冒出来了许多石柱，数量极其离谱。粗略一数，足有一百零八根之多。
The impact was astonishing.
xīng luó qí bù ， sàn luò yú lín xuān de zhōu cè 。
星罗棋布，散落于林轩的周侧。
But Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm. This was merely the prelude of heavenly retribution or a probing attack—nothing to be alarmed about.
lín xuān jiàn le ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè 。
林轩见了，脸上露出满意之色。
He took a deep breath and raised his right hand. A sword energy shot out from his fingertips, expanding into dozens of zhang as it collided with the fireball.
suí hòu dà xiù yī shuǎi ， yòu shì yī dào wǔ yán liù sè de guāng huá fú xiàn chū lái 。
随后大袖一甩，又是一道五颜六色的光华浮现出来。
There was no suspense; a loud boom echoed as the sword energy and fireball almost annihilated each other.
shāo hòu shōu liǎn ， què shì dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ 。 gè zhǒng bù tóng xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo yìng rù yǎn lián 。
稍后收敛，却是刀枪剑戟。各种不同形状的法宝映入眼帘。
This result surprised Lin Xuan slightly. Although this attack was merely probing, it seemed too easy.
měi yī jiàn jiē líng guāng shǎn shǎn ， nǎi shì dà yǒu lái lì zhī wù ， bú yòng shuō ， yě shì lín xuān lí cǐ mào xiǎn yǔ zhǎn shā qiáng dí suǒ de 。
每一件皆灵光闪闪，乃是大有来历之物，不用说，也是林轩离此冒险与斩杀强敌所得。
Could it be…
dāng rán ， lín xuān yōng yǒu de fǎ bǎo yuǎn bù zhǐ zhè me duō 。 yǎn qián de ， dōu shì tā yī jiàn jiàn 。 jīng tiāo xì xuǎn chū lái de 。
当然，林轩拥有的法宝远不止这么多。眼前的，都是他一件件。精挑细选出来的。
Before he could finish his thought, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Red light flared above him as the giant fireball was sliced into pieces by a single sword strike.
wēi lì bù sú ！
威力不俗！
Now, the scattered sparks transformed into demonic insects, each no more than an inch long and shaped like mantises, swarming towards Lin Xuan.
qí zhōng yǒu shù jiàn ， shèn zhì kān bǐ xuán tiān zhī wù ， fāng yī fàng chū jiù guāng máng sì shè ， bìng yǐn yǐn dài dòng fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì dōu wèi zhī tiào yuè bù yǐ 。
其中有数件，甚至堪比玄天之物，方一放出就光芒四射，并隐隐带动附近的天地元气都为之跳跃不已。
"This…"
huò huà wèi dào dào jīng hóng ， huò biàn huàn chéng tuán tuán líng guāng ， wéi zhe lín xuān shàng xià pán xuán fēi wǔ 。
或化为道道惊虹，或变幻成团团灵光，围着林轩上下盘旋飞舞。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted; he didn’t have time to think. He raised his right hand and pointed it forward.
ér lín xuān de zhǔn bèi ， yě jiù gào yí duàn luò 。
而林轩的准备，也就告一段落。
Instantly, spatial ripples surged as magical energy gathered from all directions. Silver threads appeared in his vision, weaving together into a net that blocked the swarm of mantises.
yuán běn rú guǒ shí jiān chōng zú ， tā kě yǐ zuò de shì qíng gèng duō 。
原本如果时间充足，他可以做的事情更多。
At Lin Xuan's level, familiarity with the Five Elements spells was almost instinctual. The process was smooth without any fuss.
kě xī shí bù dài wǒ ， liú gěi tā de shí jiān ， shí zài shì bù duō 。
可惜时不待我，留给他的时间，实在是不多。
However, things weren’t over; not only were there an overwhelming number of mantises, but each one possessed spirit essence.
zhǐ néng zuò dào yǎn qián zhè ge dì bù 。
只能做到眼前这个地步。
They raised their forelimbs and slashed downwards. As they moved, crescent-shaped light blades appeared.
hōng lōng ！
轰隆！
Individually, these light blades were unremarkable, similar in size to a hair strand. But in quantity, they were astonishing.
fǎng fú léi míng yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tóu dǐng shàng de jié yún yǐ chè dǐ chéng xíng 。
仿佛雷鸣一般的声音传入耳朵，头顶上的劫云已彻底成型。
Lin Xuan’s net was quickly torn apart by the mantises, which continued to swarm forward.
shèn zhì xíng chéng le yī lòu dǒu zhuàng de xuán wō ， sì zhōu de líng qì yóu rú fēi é pū huǒ ， bèi fēi kuài de xī nà jìn qù le 。
甚至形成了一漏斗状的漩涡，四周的灵气犹如飞蛾扑火，被飞快的吸纳进去了。
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. The first probing attack alone was this difficult; this heavenly retribution truly was extraordinary.
suí hòu guāng yùn pēn bó ， yī jù dà de huǒ qiú cóng nà xuán wō zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后光晕喷薄，一巨大的火球从那漩涡中浮现而出。
Though he wasn’t entirely fearless, fear had its uses.
zhí jìng shí zhàng yǒu yú ， rú tóng huì xīng zhuì dì ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe lín xuān zá le guò qù 。
直径十丈有余，如同彗星坠地，狠狠的向着林轩砸了过去。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeves and summoned a tower-shaped artifact.
shēng shì jīng rén wú bǐ 。
声势惊人无比。
The tower door opened, releasing countless blood fire ants.
dàn lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， què shì píng jìng yǐ jí 。
但林轩的表情，却是平静以极。
Using poison to counter poison.
zhè bù guò shì tiān jié de qián zòu ér yǐ ， huò zhě shuō shì tàn xìng gōng jī ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
这不过是天劫的前奏而已，或者说试探性攻击，根本就没有什么了不起。
The blood fire ants didn’t know fear as they rushed towards the mantises. Their numbers were overwhelming, quickly engulfing them.
tā xī le kǒu qì ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào jiàn qì zì zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù 。
他吸了口气，右手抬起，一道剑气自指尖激射出去。
Relieved, Lin Xuan exhaled. He had faced many heavenly repressions but never one so challenging from the start.
yíng fēng yī shǎn ， tóng yàng huà wéi shù shí zhàng zhī jù ， xiàng nà huǒ qiú jī zhuàng le guò qù 。
迎风一闪，同样化为数十丈之巨，像那火球激撞了过去。
He slowly raised his head; above him, the funnel-shaped vortex seemed even deeper.
sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， rú tóng gǔn léi yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiàn qì yǔ huǒ qiú jī hū tóng guī yú jìn diào le 。
丝毫悬念也无，如同滚雷一般的声音传入耳朵，剑气与火球几乎同归于尽掉了。
The surrounding qi continued to converge here. Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed, followed by a massive surge of magical pressure descending from the heavens.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， què ràng lín xuān lüè gǎn cuò è 。
这样的结果，却让林轩略感错愕。
Despite Lin Xuan’s formidable strength, he felt a shiver down his spine under this pressure.
suī rán gāng gāng nà yī bō gōng jī ， jǐn jǐn shì shì tàn ér yǐ ， dàn què yě xiǎn de tài guò róng yì 。
虽然刚刚那一波攻击，仅仅是试探而已，但却也显得太过容易。
The real test was about to begin; determination etched on his face, he would not fall here.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then his wide sleeves fluttered to his waist. A few jade bottles of varying sizes flew out from his belt.
