nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng gèng duō de fǎ lì ， zhù rù dào jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn lǐ ， lóng yín shēng yuè fā de gāo kàng yǐ jí ， zhēn lóng de yǎn zhōng ， liú lù chū pì nì tiān xià de ào qì ， lóng zhǎo de biǎo miàn ， líng guāng tūn tǔ ， yī céng céng de wén zhèn ， suí zhī fú xiàn ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩深深呼吸，将更多的法力，注入到九宫须臾剑里，龙吟声越发的高亢以极，真龙的眼中，流露出睥睨天下的傲气，龙爪的表面，灵光吞吐，一层层的纹阵，随之浮现而出。
In his mind, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and infused more magical power into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. The dragon's roar grew even more intense, with an air of supreme arrogance in the true dragon’s eyes. The scales on its claws shimmered with spiritual light as layer upon layer of intricate patterns emerged.
lì liàng fǎ zé ， yǐ bèi tā qū shǐ dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù 。
力量法则，已被他驱使到炉火纯青的地步。
The Law of Strength had been mastered to a near perfect degree by Lin Xuan.
nà páng bó jù lì ， wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ miáo shù 。
那磅礴巨力，无法用言语描述。
That overwhelming force was beyond description.
lì liàng ， yuán běn shì yǒu zhì wú xíng zhī wù ， cǐ kè ， què yǒu yī tuán bái méng méng de yún qì fú xiàn ér chū 。
力量，原本是有质无形之物，此刻，却有一团白蒙蒙的云气浮现而出。
Force, originally formless and intangible, now manifested as a white cloud of mist.
jiāng lì liàng yù shǐ dào zhè bān dì bù ， bù shuō qián wú gǔ rén hòu wú lái zhě ， dàn fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， néng gòu yǔ qí pì měi de ， nà yě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
将力量驭使到这般地步，不说前无古人后无来者，但放眼三界，纵横今古，能够与其媲美的，那也是屈指可数。
To control such power, whether it be the first or last in history, few could match him.
lín xuān xìn xīn shí zú ， kě tái qǐ tóu lú ， què fā xiàn mó jiāo wáng de yǎn zhōng ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bàn diǎn jù sè ， lì zhuǎ qù shì bù xiē ， hěn hěn xiàng zhe xià fāng àn luò 。
林轩信心十足，可抬起头颅，却发现魔蛟王的眼中，根本就没有半点惧色，利爪去势不歇，狠狠像着下方按落。
Confident, Lin Xuan looked up only to find that the Demon King’s eyes showed no fear at all. Its claws continued their assault, pressing down with relentless force.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiān ruì de hōng míng shēng ràng rén tóu yūn mù xuàn ， ròu yǎn kě jiàn de qì làng hěn hěn jī dàng kāi ， yún céng bèi sī chě chū yí gè gè de dà dòng lái 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，尖锐的轰鸣声让人头晕目眩，肉眼可见的气浪狠狠激荡开，云层被撕扯出一个个的大洞来。
A thunderous sound echoed through his ears, causing dizziness and disorientation. A visible wave of energy surged outward, tearing holes in the clouds.
suí hòu gāng fēng sì qǐ ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， rú tóng dāo gāng jiàn qì ， yī dào dào bái hén zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū ， shān fēng ， dì miàn ， jiē bèi dǎ le yí gè qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng 。
随后罡风四起，所过之处，如同刀罡剑气，一道道白痕在虚空中浮现而出，山峰，地面，皆被打了一个千疮百孔。
Following this, a fierce gale swept across the area, leaving deep gouges wherever it passed. The peaks and ground were pockmarked by countless blows.
yī tuán yào mù de guāng yùn ， gèng zài liǎng zhě zhī jiān bào kāi ， yào yǎn cì mù ， lián kàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
一团耀目的光晕，更在两者之间爆开，耀眼刺目，连看都看不清楚。
A dazzling light erupted between them, blinding to the eyes.
suí hòu zhēn lóng de yǎn zhōng fú xiàn chū yī sī tòng kǔ ， jìng “ dēng dēng dēng ” de lián tuì shù bù ， gāng cái nà yìng pīn yī jì ， tā jū rán là le gè shī bài de jié jú 。
随后真龙的眼中浮现出一丝痛苦，竟“蹬蹬蹬”的连退数步，刚才那硬拼一记，它居然落了个失败的结局。
Pain flashed across the true dragon’s eyes as it stumbled back several steps. Its previous hard-fought battle had ended in failure.
dāng rán ， mó jiāo wáng yě bù hǎo guò 。
当然，魔蛟王也不好过。
Of course, the Demon King wasn’t faring much better. It reacted faster than the true dragon, opening its mouth and releasing a jet of dragon breath.
dàn tā de fǎn yìng què bǐ zhēn lóng yào kuài dé duō ， zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， yī dào lóng xī pēn tǔ 。
但他的反应却比真龙要快得多，张开大口，一道龙息喷吐。
The black exhalation carried an aura of brutality that engulfed the true dragon. Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel speechless.
hēi sè de tǔ xī ， dài zhe lìng rén xīn jì de bào nüè zhī qì ， jiāng zhēn lóng yān mò 。
黑色的吐息，带着令人心悸的暴虐之气，将真龙淹没。
The True Spirit Sword Art had encountered repeated setbacks, something unprecedented for him.
lín xuān dōu yǒu xiē wú yǔ le 。
林轩都有些无语了。
This opponent was clearly not just any域外天魔, perhaps he truly had a connection to the Ten Thousand Serpent King.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué jū rán yī zài yù jiàn bō zhé ， zhè shì cóng suǒ wèi yǒu de 。
真灵化剑诀居然一再遇见波折，这是从所未有的。
But what did it matter now?
yǎn qián zhè jiā huo ， jué bú shì pǔ tōng de yù wài tiān mó ， huò xǔ tā zhēn de tóng wàn jiāo wáng ， yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě 。
眼前这家伙，绝不是普通的域外天魔，或许他真的同万蛟王，有着千丝万缕的牵扯。
With powerful enemies surrounding him, his priority was to defeat this one first.
rán ér xiàn zài tàn jiū zhè xiē ， yòu yǒu shén me yì yì ne ？
然而现在探究这些，又有什么意义呢？
Lin Xuan’s expression turned grave. He felt somewhat uneasy but wasn’t yet discouraged.
qiáng dí huán shì zài cè 。 xiān xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng tā dǎ bài ， cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
强敌环视在侧。先想办法将他打败，才是最重要的。
His hands moved like butterflies as the True Spirits rearranged themselves and charged forward with renewed ferocity.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yán sù yǐ jí ， xīn zhōng yǐ jué de yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， dàn ruò shuō qì něi ， què hái yán zhì guò zǎo le 。
林轩的表情严肃以极，心中已觉得有些不妥，但若说气馁，却还言之过早了。
If one couldn't defeat you, then perhaps a swarm could?
shuāng shǒu rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de fēi wǔ 。
双手如穿花蝴蝶一般的飞舞。
This time, Lin Xuan was determined.
zhēn líng men chóng xīn pái liè zǔ hé ， è hěn hěn de pū dào jìn qián qù le 。
真灵们重新排列组合，恶狠狠的扑到近前去了。
Not only did the phoenix and true dragon rally their strength, even the法宝 that had been killed and resurrected as a divine sword glowed brightly.
yí gè dǎ nǐ bù guò ， nà jiù yǐ duō wèi shèng rú hé ？
一个打你不过，那就倚多为胜如何？
"Quickly!"
zhè yī cì 。 lín xuān kě shì xià dìng jué xīn le 。
这一次。林轩可是下定决心了。
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward.
bù zhǐ jiǔ tóu niǎo yǔ zhēn lóng chóng zhèn qí gǔ ， lián nà táo wù bèi miè shā hòu huán yuán chéng xiān jiàn de fǎ bǎo yě líng guāng shǎn shuò 。
不止九头鸟与真龙重振旗鼓，连那梼杌被灭杀后还原成仙剑的法宝也灵光闪烁。
The sword’s light surged, and a giant ape of mountainous proportions materialized before him.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩一指向前点去。
With fangs bared, it slammed its fists into its chest, surrounded by spiritual light. It opened its mouth to release a beam of light about ten meters wide.
cǐ jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， suí hòu yī shēn gāo bǎi yú zhàng de jù yuán fú xiàn ér chū 。
此剑灵光大做，光晕吞吐，随后一身高百余丈的巨猿浮现而出。
This beam was white-hot, with arcs of electricity swirling around it.
shān yuè jù yuán ！
山岳巨猿！
It flashed past as the giant ape stepped forward and joined the other True Spirits in their assault on the Demon King.
liáo yá wài lù ， liǎng tiáo shǒu bì měng rán wǎng xiōng qián yī chuí ， hún shēn shàng xià líng guāng huán rào 。 zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， pēn chū yī dào zhí jìng yuē shí yú zhàng de guāng bō 。
獠牙外露，两条手臂猛然往胸前一捶，浑身上下灵光环绕。张开大口，喷出一道直径约十余丈的光波。
---
nà guāng bō chéng zhì bái sè ， biǎo miàn hái huán rào zhe yī quān quān de diàn hú 。
那光波呈炙白色，表面还环绕着一圈圈的电弧。
Meanwhile, Moon’s situation was turning more favorable.
yī shǎn jí shì ， suí hòu jù yuán mài kāi jiǎo bù ， jǐn suí zhe qí tā de zhēn líng xiàng mó jiāo wáng pū guò qù le 。
一闪即逝，随后巨猿迈开脚步，紧随着其他的真灵像魔蛟王扑过去了。
Although the array was formidable, it had been hastily set up. Its power was somewhat lacking, and Moon wasn’t an ordinary cultivator.
……
……
Most importantly, the array's central point had been revealed from the start due to a stroke of luck.
lín xuān zhè biān de qíng kuàng qiě bù tí 。
林轩这边的情况且不提。
Thus, Moon only needed to attack this central point without much effort.
lìng yī biān ， yuè ér de chǔ jìng què shì yuè lái yuè yǒu lì 。
另一边，月儿的处境却是越来越有利。
How effective such an array would be in this situation was hard to say. Initially, it held its own but as time passed, more flaws emerged until Lin Xuan seized his chance. A bright light appeared, as if tearing through the void.
nà fǎ zhèn suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn bì jìng shì cāng cù bù xià lái de 。 wēi lì huò duō huò shǎo yǒu xiē bù zú ， yuè ér yòu bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě 。
那法阵虽然非同小可，但毕竟是仓促布下来的。威力或多或少有些不足，月儿又不是普通的修仙者。
Boom!
dāng rán ， zuì guān jiàn de shì ， cǐ fǎ zhèn de zhèn yǎn ， zài yī kāi shǐ ， jiù jī yuán qiǎo hé ， bào lù chū lái le 。
当然，最关键的是，此法阵的阵眼，在一开始，就机缘巧合，暴露出来了。
This time, the array couldn’t stop anything; the blade plunged into the lava lake and disappeared.
rú cǐ yī lái ， yuè ér bù yòng duō fèi bō zhé 。 zhǐ yào yì zhí duì zhe zhèn yǎn gōng jī jiù xíng le 。
如此一来，月儿不用多费波折。只要一直对着阵眼攻击就行了。
It seemed like a stone thrown into the sea.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， cǐ fǎ zhèn jiū jìng néng gòu tí gōng duō shǎo bāng zhù ， shí zài bù hǎo shuō ， kāi shǐ hái miǎn qiǎng zhī chēng zhe ， dàn suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， pò zhàn yuè lái yuè duō ， zhōng yú bèi lín xuān jiāng jī huì zhuā zhù 。 yī dào liàng lì de guāng huá fú xiàn ér chū ， fǎng fú yào jiāng xū kōng sī pò 。
这种情况下，此法阵究竟能够提供多少帮助，实在不好说，开始还勉强支撑着，但随着时间的推移，破绽越来越多，终于被林轩将机会抓住。一道亮丽的光华浮现而出，仿佛要将虚空撕破。
But moments later, thunderous sounds began to reverberate from the lava lake, shooting out countless beams of light.
hōng ！
轰！
These beams were as sharp as swords piercing the sky.
zhè yī cì fǎ zhèn zài lái bù jí zǔ lán shén me ， dāo guāng mò rù le yán jiāng hú 。
这一次法阵再来不及阻拦什么，刀光没入了岩浆湖。
Cracks began to appear in the void, growing more numerous until the entire array was torn apart and vanished.
yī shǎn jí shì 。
一闪即逝。
A black-robed elder appeared, his face filled with shock and anger.
gěi rén de cuò jué xiàng shì ní niú rù hǎi shì de 。
给人的错觉像是泥牛入海似的。
His gaze fell on Moon’s treasure. He recognized it immediately and widened his eyes: "This is the Yin Darkness Treasure Box, a treasure only the Arrogant King could wield. Where did you get it?"
dàn xià yī kè 。
但下一刻。
The voice startled Lin Xuan and the Demon King, who were still engaged in battle, causing them to look surprised.
hōng míng shēng kāi shǐ chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng nà róng yán zhī hú zhōng 。 shǎn shè chū wú shù de guāng zhù 。
轰鸣声开始传入耳朵，从那熔岩之湖中。闪射出无数的光柱。
This black-robed elder was merely at the beginning of the Tribulation stage, yet his knowledge was impressive. Could he have fought the Arrogant King before?
dà xiǎo bù yī ， rú lì jiàn chuān tòu tiān jì 。
大小不一，如利剑穿透天际。
Lin Xuan didn’t know that this guess seemed absurd but was actually quite close to the truth.
suí hòu yī dào yī dào de liè hén chū xiàn zài xū kōng lǐ 。
随后一道一道的裂痕出现在虚空里。
As they say, one cannot judge a book by its cover; the ocean can't be measured either.
kāi shǐ hái bù qǐ yǎn ， hěn kuài jiù yuè lái yuè duō ， xū kōng bèi sī le yí gè qī líng bā luò ， zhěng gè zhèn fǎ zài yě wú fǎ zhī chēng xià qù le ， bēng kuì huà wèi le xū wú 。
开始还不起眼，很快就越来越多，虚空被撕了一个七零八落，整个阵法再也无法支撑下去了，崩溃化为了虚无。
Though this black-robed elder was only at the beginning of the Tribulation stage now, it didn’t mean he had been weak in ancient times. Back then, he was a right-hand man of the Flying Heavenly Demon Ancestor and among the strongest in the域外天魔 realm. Meeting the Arrogant King wasn't particularly remarkable.
yī hēi páo lǎo zhě fú xiàn ér chū ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng nù 。
一黑袍老者浮现而出，脸上满是惊怒。
However, circumstances change over time. Due to severe injuries and being sealed for millions of years, his strength had plummeted dramatically.
suí hòu tā de mù guāng luò xiàng le yuè ér shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù ， xiān shì jué de yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， hěn kuài jiù dèng dà le yǎn zhū ：“ zhè shì xuán yīn bǎo hé ， ā xiū luó wáng cái néng yù shǐ de bǎo wù ， nǐ …… nǐ cóng hé chù dé lái de ？”
随后他的目光落像了月儿手中的宝物，先是觉得有些眼熟，很快就瞪大了眼珠：“这是玄阴宝盒，阿修罗王才能驭使的宝物，你……你从何处得来的？”
But his knowledge remained unchanged; he immediately recognized the Yin Darkness Treasure Box.
jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān yǔ mó jiāo wáng suī rán dǎ dé rú huǒ rú tú ， wén yán yě bù yóu de lù chū cuò è zhī sè ， xīn zhōng “ gē dēng ” yī xià le 。
叫声传入耳朵，林轩与魔蛟王虽然打得如火如荼，闻言也不由得露出错愕之色，心中“咯噔”一下了。
"What nonsense are you saying?"
zhè hēi páo lǎo zhě bù guò dù jié chū qī ， jiàn shí jū rán rú cǐ liǎo bù qǐ ， néng gòu rèn chū xuán yīn bǎo hé ， nán dào tā yǔ xī rì de ā xiū luó wáng jiāo shǒu guò ？
这黑袍老者不过渡劫初期，见识居然如此了不起，能够认出玄阴宝盒，难道他与昔日的阿修罗王交手过？
Moon's face showed shock as her identity was revealed. It was no wonder she felt at a loss.
lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， zhè fān cāi cè kàn shàng qù huāng miù dào jí chù ， qí shí yǐ hěn jiē jìn shì shí le 。
林轩并不晓得，这番猜测看上去荒谬到极处，其实已很接近事实了。
After all, she was the reincarnation of the Arrogant King and couldn’t reveal this to others. Even with the vast expanse of the Three Realms, there would be nowhere for her and her master to stand.
sú huà shuō ， rén bù kě mào xiàng ， hǎi shuǐ gèng bù néng dòu liàng 。
俗话说，人不可貌相，海水更不能斗量。
Panicked, Moon’s face showed unmasked murderous intent.
rú jīn de hēi páo lǎo zhě ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì dù jié chū qī méi cuò ， dàn bìng yì wèi zhe tā zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yě zhǐ yǒu zhè diǎn shí lì 。
如今的黑袍老者，虽然仅仅是渡劫初期没错，但并意味着他在上古之时，也只有这点实力。
She then shook her shoulder slightly, and several identical maidens appeared in the void.
nà shí hòu ， tā kě shì fēi tiān mó zǔ de zuǒ bǎng yòu bì ， shí lì zài yù wài tiān mó zhōng ， yì suàn yǒu shù de qiáng zhě ， céng jīng jiàn guò ā xiū luó ， gēn běn jiù bù suàn tài guò chū qí shén me 。
那时候，他可是飞天魔祖的左膀右臂，实力在域外天魔中，亦算有数的强者，曾经见过阿修罗，根本就不算太过出奇什么。
They looked exactly like Moon, emitting the same spiritual pressure.
zhǐ bù guò shì yì shí yí ， rú jīn tā yīn wèi shēn shòu zhòng shāng ， yòu bèi fēng yìn le shù bǎi wàn nián de yuán gù ， suǒ yǐ shí lì zhòu jiàng le xǔ duō 。
只不过事易时移，如今他因为身受重伤，又被封印了数百万年的缘故，所以实力骤降了许多。
Even more astonishingly, each of them held a Yin Darkness Treasure Box.
dàn jiàn shí zì rán bú huì gǎi biàn shén me ， yī yǎn jiù rèn chū le xuán yīn bǎo hé 。
但见识自然不会改变什么，一眼就认出了玄阴宝盒。
Was this not an illusion?
“ nǐ hú shuō shén me ？”
“你胡说什么？”
The black-robed elder widened his eyes in disbelief.
yuè ér de liǎn shàng lù chū jīng huáng zhī sè ， shēn fèn bèi diǎn pò ， yě nán guài tā huì gǎn dào shǒu zú wú cuò 。
月儿的脸上露出惊惶之色，身份被点破，也难怪她会感到手足无措。
Releasing his divine sense showed no effect; Moon’s secret technique had reached such a level that it was indistinguishable to the naked eye.
bì jìng tā nǎi ā xiū luó wáng zhuǎn shì ， kě shì bù néng wài zhuàn de ， fǒu zé jí biàn sān jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， yě nán yǒu zì jǐ yǔ shào yé de lì zú zhī chù 。
毕竟她乃阿修罗王转世，可是不能外传的，否则即便三界面积广博，也难有自己与少爷的立足之处。
The elder's face showed shock as the Yin Darkness Treasure Box glowed brightly, transforming into various different treasures.
xīn zhōng yī huāng ， yuè ér liǎn shàng ， yǒu háo bù yǎn shì de shā qì liú lù 。
心中一慌，月儿脸上，有毫不掩饰的杀气流露。
Knife, spear, short sword, flying sword—each emitted dazzling light with profound法则 power emanating from them.
suí hòu jiān tóu wēi wēi yī dǒu ， dàn jiàn tā shēn xíng yī zhèn mó hú ， qī bā míng yī mú yī yàng de shào nǚ ， zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后肩头微微一抖，但见她身形一阵模糊，七八名一模一样的少女，在虚空中浮现而出。
Could they all be real?
róng mào shēn cái ， yǔ yuè ér jìng shì fēn háo qū bié yě wú ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng yā ， gèng shì yī mú yī yàng 。
容貌身材，与月儿竟是分毫区别也无，所散发出来的灵压，更是一模一样。
The black-robed elder was truly stunned. Despite his vast knowledge, he couldn’t believe anyone could deceive him to such an extent.
In his mind, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and infused more magical power into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. The dragon's roar grew even more intense, with an air of supreme arrogance in the true dragon’s eyes. The scales on its claws shimmered with spiritual light as layer upon layer of intricate patterns emerged.
The Law of Strength had been mastered to a near perfect degree by Lin Xuan.
That overwhelming force was beyond description.

Mountain Ape!
With fangs bared, it slammed its fists into its chest, surrounded by spiritual light. It opened its mouth to release a beam of light about ten meters wide.
This beam was white-hot, with arcs of electricity swirling around it.
It flashed past as the giant ape stepped forward and joined the other True Spirits in their assault on the Demon King.
