“ cī lā ” yī shēng ， guài wù bèi pǐ chéng le liǎng bàn 。
“刺啦”一声，怪物被劈成了两半。
"Zhuang la!" With a sharp sound, the monster was split in two.
rán ér dì shàng chú le duō chū yī tān yān hóng de xuè jì ， bié wú tā wù ， lín xuān de liǎn sè ， dùn shí yīn chén le xià lái 。
然而地上除了多出一滩殷红的血迹，别无他物，林轩的脸色，顿时阴沉了下来。
However, apart from a pool of crimson blood on the ground, nothing else remained. Lin Xuan's expression darkened immediately.
dàn hěn kuài ， yì diǎn jì dòng chuán rù tā de nǎo hǎi 。
但很快，一点悸动传入他的脑海。
But soon, a faint tremor entered his mind.
nà jì dòng lái de tū rán ， qiě yǒu sī sī fǎ zé zhī lì fú xiàn 。
那悸动来得突然，且有丝丝法则之力浮现。
The tremor came suddenly and was accompanied by a trace of法则力量浮现在脑海。
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Bad luck!"
lín xuān liǎn sè dà biàn ， xiǎng yě bù xiǎng ， hún shēn jīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi le chū qù 。
林轩脸色大变，想也不想，浑身精芒大起，化为一道惊虹，飞了出去。
Lin Xuan's face changed dramatically. Without hesitation, he emitted a brilliant aura from his body, transforming into a streak of startling light that shot out.
tā de dùn guāng hé děng xùn sù ， shùn xī zhī jiān ， biàn pǎo chū le dì dòng ， xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng ， mù guāng yīn chén de kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yí mù 。
他的遁光何等迅速，瞬息之间，便跑出了地洞，悬浮在半空之中，目光阴沉的看着眼前的一幕。
His eluding light was incredibly swift; in an instant, he had exited the cave and hovered mid-air, his gaze dark as he looked at the scene before him.
nà xiàng shān fēng yì bān de jù shí ， cǐ shí biǎo miàn liè wén biàn bù ， jiù fǎng fú suí shí jiù yào bēng tā huà wèi xū wú 。
那像山峰一般的巨石，此时表面裂纹遍布，就仿佛随时就要崩塌化为虚无。
The massive stone, resembling a mountain peak, now had cracks all over its surface, as if it were about to collapse into nothingness at any moment.
ér zài qí lǐ miàn ， què yǒu yī gǔ kě pà de qì xī sàn fà chū lái 。
而在其里面，却有一股可怕的气息散发出来。
Inside this stone, however, a terrifying aura was emanating.
nà qì xī zhī qiáng dà ， biàn shì quán shèng shí qī de bǎo shé shèng zǔ ， kǒng pà yě yǒu suǒ bù jí ， jiū jìng shì shén me guài wù qián fú zài zhè lǐ ？
那气息之强大，便是全盛时期的宝蛇圣祖，恐怕也有所不及，究竟是什么怪物潜伏在这里？
This aura's strength far surpassed that of even the true demon progenitor in his prime. What kind of monster lurked here?
xiǎn rán ， gāng cái de hùn dùn xuán yáng zhī qì ， jiù shì tā nòng chū lái de yòu ěr zhī wù 。
显然，刚才的混沌玄阳之气，就是他弄出来的诱饵之物。
Clearly, the chaotic primordial yang energy from earlier had been an enticement.
hái hǎo zì jǐ gòu jī jǐng ， jué de cǐ shì tài guò guǐ yì ， méi yǒu bèi tū rán chū xiàn de bǎo wù chōng hūn tóu nǎo ， fǒu zé ……
还好自己够机警，觉得此事太过诡异，没有被突然出现的宝物冲昏头脑，否则……
Thankfully, he had remained vigilant and suspected something was amiss when faced with a sudden appearance of treasure. Otherwise...
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān yě yī zhèn hòu pà 。
想到这里，林轩也一阵后怕。
Thinking about it made Lin Xuan shudder with relief.
bù guò tā zhī suǒ yǐ néng gòu bù tà rù duì fāng suǒ shè de xiàn jǐng lǐ ， bǎo shé yě shì gōng bù kě méi dì 。
不过他之所以能够不踏入对方所设的陷阱里，宝蛇也是功不可没地。
However, his ability to avoid the trap set by the true demon progenitor owed much to the spirit snake's assistance.
zhè huà tīng shàng qù lí pǔ ， dàn shì shí jiù shì rú cǐ 。
这话听上去离谱，但事实就是如此。
This sounded absurd, but it was the truth.
yīn wèi lín xuān jìn rù nà shān dòng de shí hòu ， fā xiàn le yī sī bǎo shé suǒ cán cún de qì xī 。
因为林轩进入那山洞的时候，发现了一丝宝蛇所残存的气息。
When he entered the cave, he detected faint traces of the spirit snake’s lingering aura.
hěn wēi ruò ， dàn yī lái ， lín xuān de shén shí wú yǐ lún bǐ ， èr lái tā yǔ bǎo shé ēn yuàn chán mián de dǎ le zhè me jiǔ ， suǒ yǐ fēi cháng shú xī duì fāng de qì xī 。
很微弱，但一来，林轩的神识无以伦比，二来他与宝蛇恩怨缠绵的打了这么久，所以非常熟悉对方的气息。
Though very weak, Lin Xuan’s divine sense was unparalleled, and after a long-standing conflict with the spirit snake, he was intimately familiar with its presence. There could be no mistake.
jué wú kě néng rèn cuò dì 。
绝无可能认错地。
The spirit snake had already perished.
bǎo shé yǐ jīng yǔn luò 。
宝蛇已经陨落。
Lin Xuan knew this moment he stepped into the cavern hall.
lín xuān zài tà zú nà róng dòng dà tīng de yī kè jiù yǐ jīng qīng chǔ 。
林轩在踏足那溶洞大厅的一刻就已经清楚。
After so much combat, Lin Xuan deeply understood how tenacious the true demon progenitor was. It was indeed a true demon progenitor; even in its final moments, it still had numerous tricks up its sleeve.
ér dòu fǎ le zhè me jiǔ 。 lín xuān kě shì shēn qiè de zhī dào ， bǎo shé yǒu duō me nán chán 。 bù kuì shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jí biàn yóu jǐn dēng kū ， gè zhǒng shǒu duàn yě céng chū bù qióng 。
而斗法了这么久。林轩可是深切的知道，宝蛇有多么难缠。不愧是真魔始祖，即便油尽灯枯，各种手段也层出不穷。
Emotionally and logically, it would not easily fall.
yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu bú huì qīng yì yǔn luò 。
于情于理，都不会轻易陨落。
Unless this danger was unprecedentedly severe. Therefore, when he saw that chaotic primordial yang energy, Lin Xuan suspected it might be an enticement.
chú fēi zhè lǐ de wēi xiǎn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， suǒ yǐ zài kàn jiàn nà hùn dùn xuán yáng zhī qì de shí hòu ， lín xuān jiù yǐ jīng huái yí ， nà qí shí shì yòu ěr le 。
除非这里的危险非同小可，所以在看见那混沌玄阳之气的时候，林轩就已经怀疑，那其实是诱饵了。
A puppet test confirmed his suspicion.
yòng kuǐ lěi tì shēn yī shì ， guǒ bù qí rán 。
用傀儡替身一试，果不其然。
From this perspective, one could say the spirit snake had saved him.
cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù 。 shuō bǎo shé jiù le zì jǐ yě bù wèi guò 。
从这个角度。说宝蛇救了自己也不为过。
If the spirit snake were still alive and aware of what happened, she would likely have been infuriated to death. She hated Lin Xuan so much that she wished to tear out his soul and bones; it was ironic that she helped him in such a way.
ruò shì bǎo shé líng xià yǒu zhī ， kǒng pà huì bèi qì huó ， sǐ bù míng mù ， tā zuì hèn de jiù shì lín xuān ， hèn bù dé jiāng qí chōu hún bā gǔ ， méi xiǎng dào què yǐ zhè yàng de fāng shì ， bāng le tā yī cì 。 zěn me bù yù mèn yǐ jí 。
若是宝蛇灵下有知，恐怕会被气活，死不瞑目，她最恨的就是林轩，恨不得将其抽魂扒骨，没想到却以这样的方式，帮了他一次。怎么不郁闷以极。
Regardless, the spirit snake was gone. Although attacked by the monster once, Lin Xuan had not truly suffered any loss. In this situation, he did not want to delve into details; instead, he wanted to leave as quickly as possible, returning to a safe place.
bù guǎn rú hé ， bǎo shé dōu yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， lín xuān suī bèi nà guài wù tōu xí le yī cì ， dàn yán gé lái shuō ， bìng méi yǒu chī kuī ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià 。 lín xuān kě bù xiǎng xún gēn jiū dǐ ， kuài diǎn lí kāi zhè guǐ yì de kōng jiān ， huí dào ān quán de suǒ zài 。
不管如何，宝蛇都已经陨落，林轩虽被那怪物偷袭了一次，但严格来说，并没有吃亏，这种情况下。林轩可不想寻根究底，快点离开这诡异的空间，回到安全的所在。
With that thought, Lin Xuan’s body emitted a bluish aura and flew towards the distance.
bào zhe zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà zuò ， xiàng zhe yuǎn chù fēi qù le 。
抱着这样的想法，林轩浑身青芒大做，向着远处飞去了。
Rumble!
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
At this moment, a sound like rolling thunder entered his ears. The entire massive stone completely collapsed.
jiù zài zhè shí 。 rú gǔn léi yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhěng kuài jù shí 。 wán quán bēng tā diào le 。
就在这时。如滚雷一般的声音传入耳朵，整块巨石。完全崩塌掉了。
Inside, a white jade-like object emerged, not exactly jade but semi-transparent, towering over dozens of feet high.
lǐ miàn lù chū yī wù jié bái rú yù ， bù ， zhēn shì yù shí ， dàn què shì bàn tòu míng dì ， gāo yì yǒu shù shí zhàng yú 。
里面露出一物洁白如玉，不，真是玉石，但却是半透明地，高亦有数十丈余。
And within this giant jade, a monstrous creature was sealed.
ér zài zhè jù dà de yù shí zhōng ， jū rán fēng yìn yǒu yī jù dà de guài wù 。
而在这巨大的玉石中，居然封印有一巨大的怪物。
"What is this..."
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō 。
林轩瞳孔微缩。
This monster somewhat resembled a toad, but its body was round. Especially its head; at first glance, it looked like a huge sphere without eyes, nose, or ears, with only a large wide mouth.
cǐ guài wù yǒu yī xiē xiàng chán chú ， dàn zhěng gè shēn tǐ què yòu shì gǔn yuán de 。
此怪物有一些像蟾蜍，但整个身体却又是滚圆的。
Its body was also round, and its limbs were thick and sturdy.
yóu qí shì tā de nǎo dài ， zhà yī kàn ， jiù xiàng yī jù dà de yuán qiú ， méi yǒu yǎn jīng bí zi ěr duǒ ， zhǐ yǒu yī zhāng jù dà de kuò kǒu 。
尤其是它的脑袋，乍一看，就像一巨大的圆球，没有眼睛鼻子耳朵，只有一张巨大的阔口。
However, it did not look comical; instead, it exuded an ominous and fierce aura.
shēn tǐ yì shì hěn yuán ， sì zhī cū zhuàng 。
身体亦是很圆，四肢粗壮。
Lin Xuan had once seen Tougou!
rán ér kàn shàng qù yì diǎn dōu bù kě xiào ， fǎn ér yǒu yī gǔ zhēng níng xiōng è de wèi dào 。
然而看上去一点都不可笑，反而有一股狰狞凶恶的味道。
The monster before him shared some similarities with Tougou but its terrifying power was incomparable.
lín xuān céng jīng jiàn guò táo wù ！
林轩曾经见过梼杌！
Tougou was merely a small witch seeing the great witch.
yǎn qián de guài wù yǔ tā pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， dàn kě pà de wēi lì ， què wán quán bú shì yí gè dàng cì de 。
眼前的怪物与它颇有几分相似之处，但可怕的威力，却完全不是一个档次的。
"Chaos!"
táo wù yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， bù guò shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū 。
梼杌与它相比，不过是小巫见大巫。
Though running away, Lin Xuan's divine sense recorded this scene in his mind, his face filled with shock.
“ hùn dùn ！”
“混沌！”
Chaos, Tougou, and the others were known as the Four Foes. Before ascending to the Spirit Realm, Lin Xuan had never doubted their existence. However, after ascending, he realized how laughable it was.
lín xuān suī zài bēn táo ， dàn shén shí yì jiāng zhè yí mù ， shōu rù dào le nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán zhī sè 。
林轩虽在奔逃，但神识亦将这一幕，收入到了脑海之中，脸上满是骇然之色。
Tougou, the beast, and the other three indeed shared similar strength levels, comparable to ordinary true spirits. But placing Chaos alongside them was a joke.
hùn dùn ， táo wù ， tāo tiè ， qióng qí ， bèi chēng wéi sì xiōng ， lín xuān yǐ qián ， yě bù céng huái yí guò ， rán ér fēi shēng dào líng jiè yǐ hòu ， suí zhe xiū wèi jiàn shí de zēng zhǎng ， cái zhī dào nà shì duō me de kě xiào 。
混沌，梼杌，饕餮，穷奇，被称为四凶，林轩以前，也不曾怀疑过，然而飞升到灵界以后，随着修为见识的增长，才知道那是多么的可笑。
Chaos, strictly speaking, was neither a true spirit nor a demon; rather, it had emerged from the chaos at the beginning of creation.
táo wù ， tāo tiè ， qióng qí zhè sān gè jiā huo de shí lì què shí xiàng chà fǎng fú ， yǔ pǔ tōng de zhēn líng chà bu duō ， rán ér jiāng hùn dùn yǔ tā men bìng liè ， zé shì tiān dà de xiào huà le 。
梼杌，饕餮，穷奇这三个家伙的实力确实相差仿佛，与普通的真灵差不多，然而将混沌与他们并列，则是天大的笑话了。
Such an entity should have been a supreme divine artifact, but instead, it was a gathering of the earth's malevolent energy.
hùn dùn ， yán gé lái shuō ， jì bú shì zhēn líng ， yì bú shì mó shòu ， ér shì yǒu rú qí míng ， zài hùn dùn chū kāi de yī kè ， zì tiān dì jiān dàn shēng de 。
混沌，严格来说，既不是真灵，亦不是魔兽，而是有如其名，在混沌初开的一刻，自天地间诞生的。
Cruel and bloodthirsty without reason, it brought suffering to all living beings in the three realms.
zhè yàng de dōng xī ， běn yīng shì wú shàng shén wù ， rán ér tā què shì tiān dì lì qì de jù hé 。
这样的东西，本应是无上神物，然而它却是天地戾气的聚合。
The Spirit Realm, Ancient Demon Realm, and Netherworld were all affected by its presence.
cán rěn hǎo shā ， háo wú dào lǐ kě yán ， céng ràng sān jiè shēng líng tú tàn 。
残忍好杀，毫无道理可言，曾让三界生灵涂炭。
In the demon realm alone, over ten thousand cities had been destroyed. Not only ordinary demons but even a true demon progenitor fell victim to Chaos's mouth.
bù lùn líng jiè ， gǔ mó jiè ， hái shì yīn sī jiè dōu shēn shòu qí hài 。
不论灵界，古魔界，还是阴司界都深受其害。
Lin Xuan continued running while recalling the records from ancient texts. It seemed that Chaos was not completely eradicated; it was merely sealed in this unknown plane.
jiù ná mó jiè de qíng kuàng lái shuō ， bèi miè diào de mó chéng ， jiù bù xià shí wàn yú ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de mó zú ， shèn zhì yǒu yī wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， yǔn luò zài le hùn dùn de shǒu zhōng 。
就拿魔界的情况来说，被灭掉的魔城，就不下十万余，别说普通的魔族，甚至有一位真魔始祖，陨落在了混沌的手中。
Regardless, he wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
bèi tā gěi yī kǒu gěi chī diào le 。
被它给一口给吃掉了。
After all, although Chaos could not defeat the Arhats, it had swallowed a true demon progenitor and fought for so long. How could he possibly be its match?
líng jiè ， yīn sī dì fǔ ， qíng kuàng yě xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
灵界，阴司地府，情况也相差仿佛。
No wonder the spirit snake had perished. Judging by the current situation, was Chaos's seal about to break?
hùn dùn zòng héng bǎi hé ， shì ruò wú wù ， zuì hòu zhōng yú jiāng bì guān xiū liàn ， shén gōng dà chéng de ā xiū luó wáng rě chū lái le 。
混沌纵横捭阖，视若无物，最后终于将闭关修炼，神功大成的阿修罗王惹出来了。
Lin Xuan pondered this, though only as speculation. In such circumstances, he dared not be careless.
jù shuō nà yī zhàn ， rì yuè wú guāng ， xīng chén zhuì luò ， dǎ le sān tiān sān yè zhī jiǔ ， zuì hòu ā xiū luó wáng yǐ jīng cái jué yàn zhī zī ， zhōng yú zhǎn shā diào hùn dùn zhè tóu guài wù 。
据说那一战，日月无光，星辰坠落，打了三天三夜之久，最后阿修罗王以惊才绝艳之姿，终于斩杀掉混沌这头怪物。
He did not want to die here without a clear reason.
lín xuān yī biān pǎo ， yī biān huí yì zhe diǎn jí zhōng de jì zǎi ， rú jīn kàn lái ， què yě yǒu bù jìn bù shí zhī chù ， hùn dùn bìng wèi bèi zhǎn chú ， ér shì bèi fēng yìn zài zhè bù zhī míng de jiè miàn zhī zhōng 。
林轩一边跑，一边回忆着典籍中的记载，如今看来，却也有不尽不实之处，混沌并未被斩除，而是被封印在这不知名的界面之中。
The smartest choice was to leave quickly.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān què gèng xiǎng yào kuài diǎn lí kāi cǐ chù 。
但不管如何，林轩却更想要快点离开此处。
His thoughts racing, Lin Xuan’s eluding light became even swifter.
kāi wán xiào ， hùn dùn suī rán dǎ ā xiū luó wáng bù guò ， dàn què lián zhēn mó shǐ zǔ dōu tūn le ， ér qiě hái hé ā xiū luó dǎ le zhè me jiǔ ， zì jǐ nǎ lǐ huì shì duì shǒu ？
开玩笑，混沌虽然打阿修罗王不过，但却连真魔始祖都吞了，而且还和阿修罗打了这么久，自己哪里会是对手？
Suddenly, the surrounding primordial energy began to surge.
nán guài bǎo shé huì yǔn luò ， ér kàn zhè zhuàng kuàng ， shì hùn dùn de fēng yìn ， yào jiě kāi le me ？
难怪宝蛇会陨落，而看这状况，是混沌的封印，要解开了么？
This void space's energy was peculiar; it was neither demon energy, nor spirit energy, nor beast energy but seemed to be a mixture of all three.
lín xuān xīn zhōng sī suǒ ， zhè suī rán jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， dàn cǐ shí zhè zhǒng qíng xíng xià ， tā nǎ lǐ gǎn yǒu fēn háo dà yì qīng hū 。
林轩心中思索，这虽然仅仅是猜测，但此时这种情形下，他哪里敢有分毫大意轻忽。
The sky darkened as clouds gathered.
lín xuān kě bù xiǎng bù míng bù bái de yǔn luò yú cǐ chù 。
林轩可不想不明不白的陨落于此处。
"Gul!"
kuài diǎn lí kāi shì zuì cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
快点离开是最聪明的选择。
A thunderous sound echoed in his ears.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de dùn guāng biàn dé yuè fā xùn sù 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩的遁光变得越发迅速。
It was indeed like the earth splitting and mountains collapsing, far exceeding what ordinary cultivators could comprehend. Even the Lion's Roar from the Buddhist sect paled in comparison.
ér jiù zài zhè shí ， zhōu wéi de tiān dì yuán qì ， tū rán fān yǒng qǐ lái le 。
而就在这时，周围的天地元气，突然翻涌起来了。
This sound was merely Chaos’s roar trapped within the jade.
zhè xū wú kōng jiān de yuán qì ， gǔ guài yǐ jí ， jì bú shì mó qì ， yě bú shì líng qì ， yì fēi yāo qì ， ér xiàng shì sān zhě hùn hé zài yì qǐ 。
这虚无空间的元气，古怪以极，既不是魔气，也不是灵气，亦非妖气，而像是三者混合在一起。
The voice sounded like a toad but more ancient and deep.
fēng qǐ yún yǒng 。
风起云涌。
As for its power, it was incomparable.
“ gū ！”
“咕！”
Fortunately, this was a void space; otherwise, cities, mountains, or trees would have been reduced to powder by this voice.
yī shēng shān bēng dì liè bān de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一声山崩地裂般的巨响传入耳朵。
But this was only the beginning.
shuō shān bēng dì liè ， jué méi yǒu fēn háo kuā zhāng zhī chù ， yīn wèi cǐ shēng yīn zhī dà ， yǐ jīng chāo chū yì bān xiū shì de rèn zhī le 。
说山崩地裂，绝没有分毫夸张之处，因为此声音之大，已经超出一般修士的认知了。
紧接着，又是一声“咕”的叫声传入耳朵。
jí biàn shì fú zōng dà míng dǐng dǐng de shī zi hǒu ， yě yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。
即便是佛宗大名鼎鼎的狮子吼，也远远不及。
这声音比刚才的威力更离谱，说山崩海啸也不为过。如果不是这里一片虚无，恐怕连城池、山石、树木都会被震成粉末。
ér zhè shēng yīn ， bù guò shì nà bèi fēng yìn zài yù shí zhōng de hùn dùn de yī shēng dà hǒu ér yǐ 。
而这声音，不过是那被封印在玉石中的混沌的一声大吼而已。
而这仅仅是个开始。
jiào shēng yǒu xiē xiàng chán chú ， dàn gèng jiā de dī chén gǔ piáo 。
叫声有些像蟾蜍，但更加的低沉古朴。
紧接着，又是一声“咕”的叫声传来。
zhì yú wēi lì ， zé bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
至于威力，则不可同日而语。
这次的声音威力更加离谱，说山崩海啸也不为过。要不是林轩是顶级修士，换了实力稍弱的，恐怕已经爆成了血雾。
xìng hǎo zhè lǐ shì yī piàn xū wú ， fǒu zé bù guǎn chéng chí ， shān shí ， hái shì shù mù ， dū huì bèi zhè jiào shēng zhèn chéng fěn mò 。
幸好这里是一片虚无，否则不管城池，山石，还是树木，都会被这叫声震成粉末。
PS: 今天早上回来的，明天一早还要乘火车回去拿一些东西，医生说爸爸这种情况得住院观察，唉，真是身心俱疲，忙死了，我知道最近更新不多，但真尽力了，唉，但愿爸爸早日恢复健康，这是我现在最大的心愿了。
"Zhuang la!" With a sharp sound, the monster was split in two.
However, apart from a pool of crimson blood on the ground, nothing else remained. Lin Xuan's expression darkened immediately.
But soon, a faint tremor entered his mind.
The tremor came suddenly and was accompanied by a trace of法则力量浮现在脑海。
"Bad luck!"
Lin Xuan's face changed dramatically. Without hesitation, he emitted a brilliant aura from his body, transforming into a streak of startling light that shot out.
His eluding light was incredibly swift; in an instant, he had exited the cave and hovered mid-air, his gaze dark as he looked at the scene before him.

No wonder the spirit snake had perished. Judging by the current situation, was Chaos's seal about to break?
Lin Xuan pondered this, though only as speculation. In such circumstances, he dared not be careless.
He did not want to die here without a clear reason.
The smartest choice was to leave quickly.
His thoughts racing, Lin Xuan’s eluding light became even swifter.
Suddenly, the surrounding primordial energy began to surge.
This void space's energy was peculiar; it was neither demon energy, nor spirit energy, nor beast energy but seemed to be a mixture of all three.
The sky darkened as clouds gathered.
"Gul!"
A thunderous sound echoed in his ears.
It was indeed like the earth splitting and mountains collapsing, far exceeding what ordinary cultivators could comprehend. Even the Lion's Roar from the Buddhist sect paled in comparison.
This sound was merely Chaos’s roar trapped within the jade.
The voice sounded like a toad but more ancient and deep.
As for its power, it was incomparable.
Fortunately, this was a void space; otherwise, cities, mountains, or trees would have been reduced to powder by this voice.
But this was only the beginning.
紧接着，又是一声“咕”的叫声传入耳朵。
这声音比刚才的威力更离谱，说山崩海啸也不为过。如果不是这里一片虚无，恐怕连城池、山石、树木都会被震成粉末。
而这仅仅是个开始。
紧接着，又是一声“咕”的叫声传来。
这次的声音威力更加离谱，说山崩海啸也不为过。要不是林轩是顶级修士，换了实力稍弱的，恐怕已经爆成了血雾。
PS: 今天早上回来的，明天一早还要乘火车回去拿一些东西，医生说爸爸这种情况得住院观察，唉，真是身心俱疲，忙死了，我知道最近更新不多，但真尽力了，唉，但愿爸爸早日恢复健康，这是我现在最大的心愿了。
