kě nà yī cì ， yǒu ā xiū luó ， suǒ yǐ dà jiā cái néng dǎ bài yù wài tiān mó 。
可那一次，有阿修罗，所以大家才能打败域外天魔。
That time, with the Asuras, everyone was able to defeat the Outer Heaven Demons.
rú jīn de sān jiè ， bù néng shuō rén cái diāo bì ， dàn yě jué méi yǒu xī rì ā xiū luó nà yàng jīng cái jué yàn de rén wù ， gèng bú yào shuō ， zuò dào zhòng zhì chéng chéng le 。
如今的三界，不能说人才凋蔽，但也绝没有昔日阿修罗那样惊才绝艳的人物，更不要说，做到众志成城了。
Nowadays in the Three Realms, one could not say that talent was completely depleted, but there were no individuals of extraordinary talent like the Asuras. Moreover, they had yet to achieve a united front.
bù lùn mó jiè ， líng jiè ， hái shì yīn sī dì fǔ ， jiē nán yǒu shén me cún zài néng ràng zhòng rén xīn fú 。
不论魔界，灵界，还是阴司地府，皆难有什么存在能让众人心服。
Regardless of whether it was the Demon Realm, Spirit Realm, or Netherworld, none of them could command respect from all hearts.
suī rán zì jǐ ， lǐ yǔ tóng dōu jīn fēi xī bǐ ， dàn dōu nán jí dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， gèng bú yào shuō zhèn bì yī hū ， néng yǐn lái cóng zhě wú shù 。
虽然自己，李雨桐都今非昔比，但都难及当年的阿修罗，更不要说振臂一呼，能引来从者无数。
Although Li Yutong and Lin Xuan were not as they once were, they still fell short compared to the Asuras in their prime. Not to mention, rallying a multitude of followers with a single cry was impossible now.
ér yù wài tiān mó zhè xiē nián xiū yǎng shēng xī ， shí lì suī bú jiàn de bǎi chǐ gān tóu gèng jìn yī bù ， dàn jué bú huì ruò yú shàng gǔ ， shí yǒu ** dōu yīng gāi qiáng shàng xǔ duō 。
而域外天魔这些年休养生息，实力虽不见得百尺竿头更进一步，但绝不会弱于上古，十有**都应该强上许多。
The Outer Heaven Demons had taken this time to rest and recuperate. Their strength might not have improved significantly, but it was undoubtedly stronger than that of ancient times—perhaps even tenfold more powerful.
zhè zhǒng cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng xià ……
这种此消彼长下……
In such circumstances...
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， bīng pò de liǎn sè gèng jiā huī bài yǐ jí 。
一念至此，冰魄的脸色更加灰败以极。
With this thought, Ice Spirit's face turned even grayer.
wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， yī fēi jiàn chuán shū ， yòu cóng wài ér rù 。
屋漏偏逢连夜雨，一飞剑传书，又从外而入。
Misfortunes never come alone; just as a flying sword message arrived from outside, several more magical lights appeared simultaneously.
bù ， bú shì yī gǔ ， mó guāng gòng yǒu qī bā dào zhī duō ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， quán bù zài tóng yī shí jiān dào dá cǐ chù 。
不，不是一股，魔光共有七八道之多，机缘巧合，全部在同一时间到达此处。
Ice Spirit's pupils constricted as he released his divine consciousness to scan the area and immediately understood the situation. These flying sword messages were all requests for aid, mentioning the Outer Heaven Demons.
bīng pò tóng kǒng wēi suō ， fàng chū páng dà de shén niàn yī sǎo ， jiù yǐ jīng zhī dào le qí zhōng de shǐ mò 。
冰魄瞳孔微缩，放出庞大的神念一扫，就已经知道了其中的始末。
"Really useless trash!"
zhè xiē fēi jiàn chuán shū ， wú yī lì wài ， dōu shì qiú yuán de ， ér qiě lǐ miàn jiē tí dào le yù wài tiān mó 。
这些飞剑传书，无一例外，都是求援的，而且里面皆提到了域外天魔。
The once proud Ice Spirit seemed agitated: "Incompetent in success, yet capable of failure; my Holy Realm has not a single person who can fend off these celestial demons."
“ zhēn shì méi yòng de fèi wù ！”
“真是没用的废物！”
At this moment, a maid-like figure timidly entered. "Great Ancestor, the array you requested is ready. Shall we—"
táng táng bīng pò shǐ zǔ ， jìng xiǎn de yǒu xiē qì jí bài huài qǐ lái le ：“ chéng shì bù zú ， bài shì yǒu yú ， wǒ táng táng shèng jiè ， jìng wú yī rén ， néng dǎng zhù zhè xiē tiān wài mó tóu 。”
堂堂冰魄始祖，竟显得有些气急败坏起来了：“成事不足，败事有余，我堂堂圣界，竟无一人，能挡住这些天外魔头。”
"Is that so?"
ér jiù zài zhè shí 。
而就在这时。
Ice Spirit turned to her: "You lack even an ounce of discernment."
yī shì nǚ mú yàng de nǚ zǐ ， zhàn zhàn jīng jīng de zǒu jìn lái le ：“ shǐ zǔ dà rén ， nǐ yào de zhèn fǎ ， yǐ jīng zhǔn bèi hǎo le ， shì fǒu ……”
一侍女模样的女子，战战兢兢的走进来了：“始祖大人，你要的阵法，已经准备好了，是否……”
"Yes, yes, subordinates are foolish."
“ nǐ shuō ne ？”
“你说呢？”
Her face pale as soil, she quickly bowed and exited the stone house.
bīng pò huí guò tóu ：“ yì diǎn yǎn lì dōu méi yǒu 。”
冰魄回过头：“一点眼力都没有。”
Though Ice Spirit hated Lin Xuan deeply, he had to temporarily abandon his pursuit due to the urgency of matters at hand.
“ shì ， shì ， shǔ xià yú dùn 。”
“是，是，属下愚钝。”
...
nà nǚ zǐ liǎn sè rú tǔ ， máng xíng lǐ tuì chū le shí wū 。
那女子脸色如土，忙行礼退出了石屋。
However, this was not good news for Lin Xuan.
zhì cǐ ， bīng pò suī hèn lín xuān rù gǔ ， dàn shì yǒu qīng zhòng huǎn jí ， zhuī shā tā de jì huà yě bù dé bù zàn qiě fàng qì 。
至此，冰魄虽恨林轩入骨，但事有轻重缓急，追杀他的计划也不得不暂且放弃。
When the saying goes that too many lice make one less bothered by them, it means that when debts pile up, one is less worried about them. Lin Xuan's life hung in the balance now.
……
……
Who would have thought they could meet the Primordial Chaos here?
rán ér zhè duì lín xuān lái shuō ， bìng suàn bù shàng shén me hǎo xiāo xī 。
然而这对林轩来说，并算不上什么好消息。
Although the treasure snake had fallen, Lin Xuan found himself entangled in a new crisis.
suǒ wèi shī zi duō le bù yǎng 。 zhài duō le bù chóu ， rú jīn de lín xuān ， xiǎo mìng ér yuán běn jiù zài dàn xī zhī zhōng 。
所谓虱子多了不痒。债多了不愁，如今的林轩，小命儿原本就在旦夕之中。
The Primordial Chaos was indeed a formidable creature, surpassing all expectations.
shuō qǐ lái yě shì liú nián bù lì ， shuí huì xiǎng dào zhè lǐ yě néng yǔ hùn dùn xiá lù xiāng féng ？
说起来也是流年不利，谁会想到这里也能与混沌狭路相逢？
Despite his best efforts, Lin Xuan could not withstand its onslaught. Although both of his inner infants and the pill were at their peak stages, he had exhausted much of his power from continuous battles. Now, even the final trump card, True Spirit Essence Art, was useless as those blood-red bone spines bore down on him.
bǎo shé suī rán yǔn luò ， dàn lín xuān què xiàn rù xīn de wēi jī zhī zhōng 。
宝蛇虽然陨落，但林轩却陷入新的危机之中。
Each bone spine's power rivaled that of aprimordial spirit treasure (primordial treasure).
ér hùn dùn ， bù kuì shì hóng méng jù shòu ， qiáng dé lí pǔ 。
而混沌，不愧是鸿蒙巨兽，强得离谱。
Lin Xuan, never lacking in courage, found himself powerless under these circumstances.
lín xuān shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
林轩使尽浑身解数，也抵挡不住。
Despairing, he closed his eyes.
tā suī rán shuāng yīng yī dān quán dōu jǐn jiē hòu qī ， dàn lián fān dà zhàn zhī hòu fǎ lì yě suǒ shèng wú jǐ ， rú jīn lián zuì hòu de shā zhe 。 mò yù zhēn líng jué dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe nà xuè hóng sè de gǔ cì ， shā xiàng le zì jǐ 。
他虽然双婴一丹全都尽皆后期，但连番大战之后法力也所剩无几，如今连最后的杀着。墨玉真灵诀都没有用处，只能眼睁睁看着那血红色的骨刺，杀向了自己。
Perhaps there was still some reluctance, but what could one do in such a situation?
ér měi yī gēn gǔ cì de wēi lì ， dōu yǔ xiān tiān líng bǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
而每一根骨刺的威力，都与先天灵宝相差仿佛。
There was no way to resist or escape.
lín xuān cóng lái jiù bú shì quē fá yǒng qì de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yě huí tiān fá shù 。
林轩从来就不是缺乏勇气的修仙者，但这种情况下，也回天乏术。
He could only be a victim.
tā jué wàng de bì shàng le shuāng mù 。
他绝望的闭上了双目。
"Rumble rumble!"
huò xǔ yǒu xīn bù gān ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yòu néng rú hé ？
或许有心不甘，但这种情况下，又能如何？
Just then, an odd sound entered his ears.
gēn běn bù kě néng dǐ dǎng huò shì táo tuō 。
根本不可能抵挡或是逃脱。
The sound wasn't loud; it sounded like a dog or cat snoring.
zhǐ néng rèn rén zǎi gē 。
只能任人宰割。
But the arrogant Primordial Chaos suddenly widened its eyes, its expression bizarrely fearful. It seemed to have encountered a natural enemy.
“ hū lū hū lū ！”
“呼噜呼噜！”
Even more astonishing was that those blood-red bone spines slowed down as if some invisible force had altered time itself.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī zhèn gǔ guài de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在这时，一阵古怪的声音传入耳朵。
Surprise and astonishment!
nà shēng yīn bù dà 。 jiù xiàng xiǎo gǒu huò zhě xiǎo māo shuì jiào zài dǎ hān shì de 。
那声音不大。就像小狗或者小猫睡觉在打鼾似的。
Lin Xuan's reaction was swift; he could not afford to miss this opportunity.
kě nà xiāo zhāng de hùn dùn ， què yī xià zi dèng dà le shuāng mù ， nà biǎo qíng ， gèng shì gǔ guài dào le jí chù …… zěn me shuō ne ？
可那嚣张的混沌，却一下子瞪大了双目，那表情，更是古怪到了极处……怎么说呢？
With a flash, Lin Xuan retreated several miles, temporarily resolving the crisis.
yǒu yì diǎn jīng huáng 。 yǒu yì diǎn wèi jù 。
有一点惊惶。有一点畏惧。
A miraculous escape!
jiù fǎng fú shì yù jiàn le tiān dí 。
就仿佛是遇见了天敌。
However, such a method seemed too strange.
gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， nà xuè hóng sè de gǔ cì ， xiàng zì jǐ fēi lái de sù dù ， yě yī xià zi biàn huǎn le xǔ duō 。 jiù fǎng fú yǒu shén me wú xíng de lì liàng ， gǎi biàn le shí jiān fǎ zé 。
更不可思议的是，那血红色的骨刺，像自己飞来的速度，也一下子便缓了许多。就仿佛有什么无形的力量，改变了时间法则。
Why did it happen? Lin Xuan was still in the dark about what exactly transpired.
chà yì ， jīng è ！
诧异，惊愕！
The Primordial Chaos did not pursue; instead, its expression turned wary as it stared intently at Lin Xuan.
dàn lín xuān de fǎn yìng 。 kě shì yì diǎn yě bù màn de 。
但林轩的反应。可是一点也不慢的。
Its gaze lacked focus, as if looking beyond him.
tiān cì liáng jī ， tā zěn me kě néng cuò guò qù 。
天赐良机，他怎么可能错过去。
This bizarre scene was indescribable.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ tuì hòu le shù lǐ ， zàn shí jiě chú le wēi jī 。
林轩身形一闪，已退后了数里，暂时解除了危机。
"Rumble rumble."
sǐ lǐ táo shēng ！
死里逃生！
The odd sound resounded again in his ears.
rán ér zhè yàng de fāng shì ， wèi miǎn xiǎn de yǒu xiē guǐ yì 。
然而这样的方式，未免显得有些诡异。
Lin Xuan could not have heard wrongly this time. He raised his head, his expression changing.
wèi hé huì rú cǐ ， lín xuān dōu yún lǐ wù lǐ ， bù míng bái jiū jìng fā shēng le hé shì 。
为何会如此，林轩都云里雾里，不明白究竟发生了何事。
Could it be...
ér hùn dùn bìng méi yǒu zhuī jī ， xiāng fǎn ， cǐ kè tā de biǎo qíng rú lín dà dí 。
而混沌并没有追击，相反，此刻它的表情如临大敌。
He flicked his sleeves, and a light flew from his waist.
sǐ sǐ de dīng zhe lín xuān 。
死死的盯着林轩。
As the spiritual light dispersed, a peculiar creature appeared before him.
piān piān tā de mù guāng yòu méi yǒu jiāo jù ， xiàng shì zài kàn zhe lín xuān yǐ wài de dōng xī 。
偏偏他的目光又没有焦距，像是在看着林轩以外的东西。
About the size of a fist, covered with soft fur, it was adorable. It had small claws on its belly and wings as white as winter snow on its back.
nà gǔ guài de chǎng jǐng ， nán yǐ yán yù 。
那古怪的场景，难以言喻。
What an adorable little guy!
“ hū lū hū lū 。”
“呼噜呼噜。”
And now, with its drowsy expression, it rubbed its eyes with its wings, looking confused.
tū wù de shēng yīn zài cì chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突兀的声音再次传入耳朵。
A fluffy ball!
zhè yī huí ， lín xuān jué bù kě néng shì tīng cuò ， tā shén sè yī dòng ， tái qǐ tóu lú 。
这一回，林轩绝不可能是听错，他神色一动，抬起头颅。
Lin Xuan was both surprised and delighted; indeed, this was the little guy. It had been asleep for a thousand years, finally waking up.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
While this was cause for celebration, Lin Xuan knew that the little guy's abilities were limited.
tā xiù páo yī shuǎi ， yī dào guāng huá cóng yāo jiān fēi le chū lái 。
他袖袍一甩，一道光华从腰间飞了出来。
Sure, it had a domain, but only incompletely—useful only against creatures that could not transform into human form. Moreover, there were significant limitations; for instance, while its true spirit essence couldn't change into a person, its domain was useless.
dāng líng guāng shǎn kāi ， què shì yī gǔ guài de shēng wù ， fú xiàn zài le yǎn lián 。
当灵光闪开，却是一古怪的生物，浮现在了眼帘。
The Primordial Chaos before him was clearly much stronger than ordinary true spirits.
yǔ quán tou dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú ， tōng tǐ máo róng róng de shí fēn kě ài ， zài fù bù yǒu yī duì xiǎo zhuǎ zi ， bèi shàng de chì bǎng rú dōng xuě yì bān de jié bái wú xiá 。
与拳头大小相差仿佛，通体毛茸茸的十分可爱，在腹部有一对小爪子，背上的翅膀如冬雪一般的洁白无瑕。
Apart from the True Dragon and Rainbow Phoenix, few true spirits could match it.
hǎo méng de xiǎo jiā huo ！
好萌的小家伙！
This half-baked domain of the little guy's was merely laughable.
gèng bú yào shuō cǐ kè tā yī fù shuì yǎn xīng sōng zhī sè ， hái yòng chì bǎng róu le róu yǎn jīng ， yī liǎn de mí hū 。
更不要说此刻它一副睡眼惺忪之色，还用翅膀揉了揉眼睛，一脸的迷糊。
Based on common sense!
xiǎo máo qiú ！
小毛球！
But Lin Xuan quickly shook his head. If everything followed common logic, he should have been long dead by now.
lín xuān yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， guǒ rán shì zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， tā chén shuì le qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， rú jīn zhōng yú qīng xǐng le 。
林轩又惊又喜，果然是这小家伙，它沉睡了千年之久，如今终于清醒了。
For instance, those blood-red bone spines should have reduced him to a sieve.
zhè gù rán zhí de huān xīn gǔ wǔ ， dàn xiàn shí shì ， lín xuān bìng bù jué dé xiǎo máo qiú yǒu duō dà de yòng chǔ 。
这固然值得欢欣鼓舞，但现实是，林轩并不觉得小毛球有多大的用处。
Each bone spine rivaled aprimordial spirit treasure (primordial treasure).
méi cuò ， zhè jiā huo shì yǒu lǐng yù ， dàn yě jǐn jǐn shì bù wán zhěng dì ， jǐn duì bù néng biàn huà chéng rén xíng de yāo zú yǒu yòng ， ér qiě yǒu hěn dà de chè zhǒu ， bǐ rú shuō ， zhēn líng suī rán bù néng biàn huà chéng rén ， dàn nà lǐng yù ， jiù méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
没错，这家伙是有领域，但也仅仅是不完整地，仅对不能变化成人型的妖族有用，而且有很大的掣肘，比如说，真灵虽然不能变化成人，但那领域，就没有用处。
Clearly, the little guy had defused this crisis. Although Lin Xuan did not know exactly how it did so, it was evident that this little fellow was far stronger than he imagined, hiding some unknown power.
ér yǎn qián de hùn dùn ， míng xiǎn yào bǐ yì bān de zhēn líng qiáng shàng xǔ duō 。
而眼前的混沌，明显要比一般的真灵强上许多。
With these thoughts in mind, a smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
chú le zhēn lóng ， cǎi fèng ， shǎo yǒu zhēn líng néng gòu pǐ dí 。
除了真龙，彩凤，少有真灵能够匹敌。
He flicked his sleeves and several jade bottles flew out. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan drank the immortal milk inside, knowing full well that it was drinking poison to quench thirst. But at this moment, he had no time for such concerns; he needed to restore some of his power first.
xiǎo máo qiú nà bàn diào zi de lǐng yù ， bù guò shì xiào huà ér yǐ 。
小毛球那半吊子的领域，不过是笑话而已。
After all, while the little guy's performance was delightful, Lin Xuan knew deep down that ultimately, he would have to rely on himself to escape this crisis.
zhè shì zhào cháng lǐ tuī cè ！
这是照常理推测！
The Primordial Chaos remained vigilant, staring intently at the little guy with a look of apprehension.
kě hěn kuài lín xuān yòu yáo le tóu ， ruò shì shén me dōu zhào cháng lǐ lái shuō ， xiàn zài zì jǐ yīng gāi yǐ jīng hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
可很快林轩又摇了头，若是什么都照常理来说，现在自己应该已经魂飞魄散掉了。
A natural enemy!
bié de bù shuō ， gāng cái nà xuè hóng sè shì gǔ cì ， zì jǐ jiù yīng gāi bèi dǎ chéng shāi zi 。
别的不说，刚才那血红色是骨刺，自己就应该被打成筛子。
"Rumble rumble!"
měi yī gēn gǔ cì ， dōu yǔ xiān tiān líng bǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
每一根骨刺，都与先天灵宝相差仿佛。
In contrast to the Primordial Chaos's tense expression, the little guy appeared much more relaxed. It nuzzled Lin Xuan's pant leg, looking affectionate.
ér zhè wēi jī ， xiǎn rán shì xiǎo máo qiú huà jiě dì ， suī rán bù zhī dào ， tā jù tǐ shì zěn me zuò ， dàn xiǎn rán ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào qiáng shàng xǔ duō ， yǒu wèi zhī de lì liàng yǐn cáng zhe 。
而这危机，显然是小毛球化解地，虽然不知道，它具体是怎么做，但显然，这小家伙比自己想象的，还要强上许多，有未知的力量隐藏着。
Its expression was akin to that of a kitten seeking attention from its owner.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xǐ sè 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩脸上露出一丝喜色。
Adorable, but with a formidable foe before him, Lin Xuan had no time for petting. He patted the little guy: "Alright, stop playing around; let's deal with this guy first."
xiù páo yī fú ， jǐ gè yù píng fēi lüè ér chū ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， hē guāng le lǐ miàn de wàn nián líng rǔ ， suī rán míng zhī dào ， zhè shì yǐn zhèn zhǐ kě ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ lǐ gù dé shàng zhè xǔ duō 。
袖袍一拂，几个玉瓶飞掠而出，林轩二话不说，喝光了里面的万年灵乳，虽然明知道，这是饮鸩止渴，但此时此刻，哪里顾得上这许多。
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, the little guy obediently turned to look at the Primordial Chaos.
xiān huī fù yī bù fèn fǎ lì zài shuō 。
先恢复一部分法力再说。
Initially confused, it then widened its eyes, its expression becoming bizarrely fearful.
That time, with the Asuras, everyone was able to defeat the Outer Heaven Demons.
Nowadays in the Three Realms, one could not say that talent was completely depleted, but there were no individuals of extraordinary talent like the Asuras. Moreover, they had yet to achieve a united front.
Regardless of whether it was the Demon Realm, Spirit Realm, or Netherworld, none of them could command respect from all hearts.
Although Li Yutong and Lin Xuan were not as they once were, they still fell short compared to the Asuras in their prime. Not to mention, rallying a multitude of followers with a single cry was impossible now.
The Outer Heaven Demons had taken this time to rest and recuperate. Their strength might not have improved significantly, but it was undoubtedly stronger than that of ancient times—perhaps even tenfold more powerful.
