lín xuān bù xiǎo de ！
林轩不晓得！
Lin Xuan didn't know!
suǒ yǐ tā yě jiù jìng guān qí biàn le 。 běn wén yóu 。 shǒu fā
所以他也就静观其变了。本文由。首发
So, he just observed the changes that were about to unfold. This story is originally published at ...
fǎn zhèng zì jǐ de shén niàn zhī lì ， bù guò fàng chū le sān chéng ér yǐ ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān yǒu zú gòu de dǐ qì ， yìng fù duì fāng jiē xià lái de gōng jī 。
反正自己的神念之力，不过放出了三成而已，所以林轩有足够的底气，应付对方接下来的攻击。
In any case, his divine consciousness had only released a third of its power. Therefore, Lin Xuan was confident enough to handle whatever attacks came next.
kàn yī kàn yì shì bù fáng dì 。
看一看亦是不妨地。
He might as well watch it happen.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yě jiù wán qǐ zuò bì shàng guān lái le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩也就玩起作壁上观来了。
With his thoughts turning over in his mind, Lin Xuan began to act like an onlooker.
ér zhè xū yú de dān gē ， nà jīn sè de yǎn jīng yǐ wán quán zhēng kāi ， yī gǔ nóng nóng de fǎ zé zhī lì ， yóu qí mí sàn chū lái 。
而这须臾的耽搁，那金色的眼睛已完全睁开，一股浓浓的法则之力，由其弥散出来。
And this brief delay allowed the golden eyes to fully open. A thick layer of法则力量弥漫开来.
shuō bù qīng shì shén me fǎ zé ， kě nà jù dà de shān fēng ， què yī huà wèi wǔ 。
说不清是什么法则，可那巨大的山峰，却一化为五。
It wasn't clear what kind of rule it was, but the massive mountain split into five smaller ones. Each one was only a third the size of the original, yet they were lush and emerald green, incredibly steep, arranged in an extremely peculiar formation.
měi yī zuò de dà xiǎo ， dōu zhǐ yǒu yuán lái de sān fēn zhī yī 。
每一座的大小，都只有原来的三分之一。
Then, a piercing sound entered his ears as beams of light shot up from the top of each mountain.
dàn què cāng cuì bì lǜ ， dǒu qiào yǐ jí ， yǐ yí gè shí fēn gǔ guài de zhèn xíng ， pái liè zài yì qǐ 。
但却苍翠碧绿，陡峭以极，以一个十分古怪的阵型，排列在一起。
The beams of light gradually turned into countless sword qi, their momentum astonishing. They almost blocked half the sky, like a storm sweeping across the ocean.
suí hòu pò kōng shēng chū chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng nà měi yī zuò shān fēng de dǐng bù ， shēng téng qǐ yī dào guāng zhù 。
随后破空声出传入耳朵，从那每一座山峰的顶部，升腾起一道光柱。
"This secret technique is quite impressive."
guāng zhù lüè yī mó hú ， jū rán huà zuò wú shù de jiàn qì ， shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí ， jī hū zhē dǎng zhù bàn biān tiān jì ， rú kuáng fēng bào yǔ ， xiàng zhe dà hǎi yī juàn ér qù 。
光柱略一模糊，居然化作无数的剑气，声势惊人以极，几乎遮挡住半边天际，如狂风暴雨，像着大海一卷而去。
Lin Xuan's voice echoed in his own mind. The opponent’s divine awareness had nearly doubled, and his attacks became even more precise.
“ zhè mì shù ， dǎo shì bù sú 。”
“这秘术，倒是不俗。”
But what of it? There was always a downside to every advantage.
lín xuān zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duì fāng de shén shí ， jī hū zēng zhǎng le bèi xǔ ， ér qiě gōng jī biàn dé gèng jiā de xī lì 。
林轩自言自语的声音传入耳朵，对方的神识，几乎增长了倍许，而且攻击变得更加的犀利。
Reliant on this secret technique, his attacks couldn't last long anyway.
rán ér nà yòu rú hé ， fán shì kěn dìng shì yǒu lì jiù yǒu bì de 。
然而那又如何，凡事肯定是有利就有弊的。
He just needed to endure this wave of attacks and win easily.
yǐ kào mì shù ， yě jiù zhù dìng tā de gōng jī ， bù kě néng chí jiǔ shén me 。
倚靠秘术，也就注定他的攻击，不可能持久什么。
Of course, with Lin Xuan's powerful divine awareness, he could have charged head-on with brute force. But that would be too shocking, leaving him without any trump cards in the realm of divine awareness.
zì jǐ zhǐ yào chēng guò zhè yī bō gōng jī ， yíng xià tā jiù biàn dé qīng sōng rú yì 。
自己只要撑过这一波攻击，赢下他就变得轻松如意。
Given Lin Xuan’s personality, he preferred a clever approach over sheer force. He just needed to give his opponent a lesson.
dāng rán ， yǐ lín xuān shén shí zhī qiáng ， wán quán kě yǐ lái gè mán bù jiǎng lǐ de yìng zhuàng ， yǐ lì pò lì ， kě rú cǐ yī lái ， wèi miǎn xiǎn de jīng shì hài sú ， zì jǐ zài shén shí fāng miàn ， yě jiù méi dǐ pái kě yán le 。
当然，以林轩神识之强，完全可以来个蛮不讲理的硬撞，以力破力，可如此一来，未免显得惊世骇俗，自己在神识方面，也就没底牌可言了。
And that would make it seem even more profound.
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， bù xǐ huān zhè me zuò ， tā gèng zhōng yì de ， shì yǐ qiǎo pò zhuō 。
以林轩的性格，不喜欢这么做，他更中意的，是以巧破拙。
Despite the countless sword qi, the waves on the ocean still surged with great vigor.
zhǐ yào gěi duì fāng jiào xùn jiù kě yǐ le 。
只要给对方教训就可以了。
Ripples spread across the surface as one mirror-like treasure after another appeared in his line of sight.
ér qiě nà yàng xiǎn de gèng jiā de shēn bù kě cè 。
而且那样显得更加的深不可测。
Though thin like a cicada's wing, they were incredibly sturdy. They had all been formed from divine awareness.
miàn duì wàn qiān jiàn qì ， dà hǎi shàng de bō tāo yī jiù xiǎn de pēng pài yǐ jí 。
面对万千剑气，大海上的波涛依旧显得澎湃以极。
The application of divine consciousness to such an extent was truly breathtaking.
làng huā zhōng ， dàng qǐ le piàn piàn de lián yī 。
浪花中，荡起了片片的涟漪。
Sizzle...
suí hòu yí gè yòu yí gè fǎng fú jìng zi yì bān de bǎo wù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
随后一个又一个仿佛镜子一般的宝物出现在了视线里。
In the next moment, the vast array of sword qi crashed into him with the force of a storm.
suī báo rú chán yì ， dàn què jiān yìng yǐ jí 。
虽薄如蝉翼，但却坚硬以极。
Waves surged in the ocean as magical runes floated up from the depths.
tā men quán bù shì yóu shén shí biàn huà ér chéng dì 。
它们全部是由神识变化而成地。
At the same time, the mirror-like treasures on the surface began to respond. A faint golden glow emanated from their surfaces.
jiāng shén niàn zhī lì yùn yòng dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。 dàng zhēn lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ 。
将神念之力运用到这种程度。当真令人叹为观止。
Unexpectedly, those powerful sword qi were actually bounced back.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
Not blocked, but directly reflected.
xià yī kè ， nà màn tiān huī hóng de jiàn qì ， yǐ rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， hěn hěn de zhuàng le shàng qù 。
下一刻，那漫天恢宏的剑气，已如疾风骤雨，狠狠的撞了上去。
"What...?"
dà hǎi zhōng bō tāo qǐ fú ， yí gè yòu yí gè de fú wén yóu hǎi yáng shēn chù yī piāo ér chū 。
大海中波涛起伏，一个又一个的符文由海洋深处一飘而出。
The onlookers stared in astonishment. Lin Xuan's use of divine awareness had surpassed their comprehension. How powerful must he be...
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， hǎi miàn shàng nà fǎng fú jìng zi yì bān de bǎo wù ， yě kāi shǐ yìng hè ， yī céng méng méng de jīn guāng yóu qí biǎo miàn sàn fà ér chū 。
与此同时，海面上那仿佛镜子一般的宝物，也开始应和，一层蒙蒙的金光由其表面散发而出。
Many people pondered this silently, swallowing their saliva.
jiē xià lái ， fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà qì shì páng bó de jiàn qì 。 jū rán bèi fǎn tán le huí qù 。
接下来，发生了不可思议的一幕，那气势磅礴的剑气。居然被反弹了回去。
If they knew that Lin Xuan was only using about half his divine awareness at the moment, they would be even more shocked.
zhù yì ， bú shì dǎng zhù ， ér shì zhí jiē bèi fǎn tán le 。
注意，不是挡住，而是直接被反弹了。
As for the actual participants, Wan Xiaoxian's expression was aghast. His secret technique had no effect, but his nightmare wasn't over yet.
páng guān de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè gè chēng mù jié shé ， lín xuān duì yú shén niàn de yùn yòng ， yǐ jīng chāo guò tā men rèn zhī le ， zhè yào qiáng dà dào hé děng chéng dù ……
旁观的修仙者，一个个瞠目结舌，林轩对于神念的运用，已经超过他们认知了，这要强大到何等程度……
A distant voice echoed from the depths of the sea.
bù shǎo rén dōu zài xīn zhōng chuǎi mó ， tóng shí àn tūn tuò mò 。
不少人都在心中揣摩，同时暗吞唾沫。
On the surface, a hurricane formed and several vortexes appeared.
ruò shì ràng tā men xiǎo de ， lín xuān cǐ shí cǐ kè 。 bù guò shì jiāng yí bàn zuǒ yòu de shén niàn fàng chū ， yí gè èr gè ， hái bù zhī dào yào chī jīng dào hé děng chéng dù 。
若是让他们晓得，林轩此时此刻。不过是将一半左右的神念放出，一个二个，还不知道要吃惊到何等程度。
Five in total!
ér zuò wèi dāng shì zhě ， wàn xiǎo xiān jūn de liǎn sè 。 gèng shì nán kàn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， lián mì shù yì méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， kě tā de è mèng bìng wèi jié shù 。
而做为当事者，万晓仙君的脸色。更是难看到无以复加的地步，连秘术亦没有效果，可他的噩梦并未结束。
Each vortex had a diameter exceeding a thousand feet.
wū ……
呜……
From within them emanated awe-inspiring rule forces.
dà hǎi shēn chù ， zài cì yǒu yōu yuǎn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
大海深处，再次有悠远的声音传入耳朵。
Hidden inside seemed to be something more.
hǎi miàn zhī shàng 。 jù fēng dà zuò ， suí hòu biàn huà chū le yí gè yí gè de xuán wō 。
海面之上。飓风大做，随后变化出了一个一个的漩涡。
Boom!
yī gòng wǔ gè ！
一共五个！
A loud noise rang out as gigantic monsters emerged from each vortex.
měi yí gè xuán wō de zhí jìng ， dōu chāo guò le qiān zhàng yǒu yú 。
每一个漩涡的直径，都超过了千丈有余。
Octopuses!
cóng lǐ miàn sàn fà chū lìng rén jīng xīn chù mù dì fǎ zé zhī lì 。
从里面散发出令人惊心触目的法则之力。
They were enormous, their bodies comparable to the size of a towering mountain. Their tentacles stretched for thousands of feet and began to wrap around the five small mountains on the surface, dragging them into the sea.
yǐn yǐn de 。 gèng fǎng fú cáng yǒu shén me shì wù 。
隐隐的。更仿佛藏有什么事物。
Wan Xiaoxian was in a panic, struggling desperately. But it was useless; the octopuses' strength was beyond comprehension. He naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
hōng ！
轰！
With a grimace, his divine awareness underwent another astonishing change as some of it rose to form a crystal-clear giant blade.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng nà wǔ gè xuán wō de lǐ miàn ， fēi kuài de mào chū le yī jù dà de guài wù 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，从那五个漩涡的里面，飞快的冒出了一巨大的怪物。
Over a hundred feet long, the blade slashed at the nearest octopus tentacle.
dà dé lí pǔ ， guāng shì shēn qū ， jiù yǔ yī zuò páng bó wēi é de dà shān xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
大得离谱，光是身躯，就与一座磅礴巍峨的大山相差仿佛。
A dazzling light flashed as an incredible scene unfolded. The octopus's tentacle was incredibly hard; this razor-sharp blade made no impact upon striking it.
chù shǒu gèng shì zhǎng dá shù qiān zhàng ， yī zhèn kuáng wǔ ， jū rán jiāng nà hǎi miàn shàng de wǔ zuò xiǎo shān fēn bié chán zhù ， yìng shēng shēng wǎng hǎi zhōng tuō zhuāi qù le 。
触手更是长达数千丈，一阵狂舞，居然将那海面上的五座小山分别缠住，硬生生往海中拖拽去了。
Instead, it bounced off like hitting stone or wood.
wàn xiǎo xiān jūn dà jīng shī sè 。
万晓仙君大惊失色。
How could that be?
pīn mìng zhēng zhá ， rán ér méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， nà xiē zhāng yú de lì qì dà dé lí pǔ ， dàn tā zì rán bù kěn jiù zhè yàng fú shū 。
拼命挣扎，然而没有用处，那些章鱼的力气大得离谱，但他自然不肯就这样服输。
Wan Xiaoxian almost couldn't believe what he saw.
yī yǎo yá ， shén shí yòu yǒu le jīng rén biàn huà ， bù fèn shén niàn zhī lì wǎng kōng zhōng yī jù ， yī jīng yíng tī tòu de jù rèn chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一咬牙，神识又有了惊人变化，部分神念之力往空中一聚，一晶莹剔透的巨刃出现在了视线里。
The five mountains were still being dragged into the vortexes viciously.
zhǎng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， chéng xíng hòu biàn cháo zhe lí dé zuì jìn de yī tiáo zhāng yú chù shǒu yī zhǎn ér qù 。
长百丈有余，成型后便朝着离得最近的一条章鱼触手一斩而去。
"Enough!"
cī lā ……
刺啦……
He clenched his hands and cast a spell. The crystal-clear giant blade fell down crazily.
líng máng sì shè ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， nà zhāng yú de chù shǒu jìng jiān yìng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， zhè fēng ruì yì cháng de jù rèn zhǎn shàng qù jū rán méi yǒu fēn háo yòng tú 。
灵芒四射，不可思议的一幕发生了，那章鱼的触手竟坚硬到无以复加的地步，这锋锐异常的巨刃斩上去居然没有分毫用途。
"Hmph, still trying to struggle?"
fǎn ér rú zhōng shí mù ， bèi qīng ér yì jǔ de yī dàn ér kāi le 。
反而如中石木，被轻而易举的一弹而开了。
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he didn't make any additional movements. All five octopuses raised their heads, opened their mouths, and black beams of light shot out from within them.
zěn me kě néng ne ？
怎么可能呢？
Pang!
wàn xiǎo xiān jūn jī hū bù xiāng xìn yǎn qián fā shēng de yí mù 。
万晓仙君几乎不相信眼前发生的一幕。
The crystal beam was shattered by a single strike.
ér nà wǔ zuò shān fēng ， yī jiù bèi è hěn hěn de lā xià xuán wō 。
而那五座山峰，依旧被恶狠狠的拉下漩涡。
Wan Xiaoxian stumbled, almost unable to stand in mid-air. Clearly, some part of his divine awareness had been cut off, causing significant damage.
“ pīn le ！”
“拼了！”
This slight delay allowed the five mountains to be pulled into the vortexes and swallowed up.
tā shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， dùn shí ， nà jīng yíng jù rèn fēng kuáng xiàng xià zhǎn luò 。
他双手一握，一道法诀打出，顿时，那晶莹巨刃疯狂向下斩落。
"Friend Lin, spare me! I yield!"
“ hēng ， hái yào chuí sǐ zhēng zhá me ？”
“哼，还要垂死挣扎么？”
Wan Xiaoxian's voice was tinged with panic. If his divine awareness were severely injured, he would suffer greatly, possibly even triggering old injuries.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， wǔ tóu zhāng yú qí qí yáng qǐ tóu lú ， jiāng zuǐ bā zhāng kāi ， mò hēi sè de guāng zhù cóng lǐ miàn pēn le chū lái 。
林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，也不见他多余的动作，五头章鱼齐齐扬起头颅，将嘴巴张开，墨黑色的光柱从里面喷了出来。
"Very well."
“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán lái ， nà jīng yíng guāng zhù bèi yī jī ér sàn 。
“嘭”的一声传来，那晶莹光柱被一击而散。
Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes flashing with a hint of sharpness. He didn't make things too difficult for him.
wàn xiǎo xiān jūn yí gè liàng qiàng ， jī hū zài bàn kōng zhōng zhàn lì bú zhù 、 xiǎn rán zhè yī bù fèn shén shí bèi lín xuān zhǎn chú ， tā suǒ shòu dào de shāng hài yì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
万晓仙君一个踉跄，几乎在半空中站立不住、显然这一部分神识被林轩斩除，他所受到的伤害亦是非同小可。
Although Wan Xiaoxian had once plotted against him, they now shared an enemy—the域外天魔. Lin Xuan naturally didn’t want to do something that would hurt both parties.
ér zhè shāo yī dān gē ， wǔ zuò shān fēng dōu bèi lā xià le xuán wō ， yǎn kàn zhe jiù yào bèi tūn mò 。
而这稍一耽搁，五座山峰都被拉下了漩涡，眼看着就要被吞没。
So he retracted the vast amount of divine awareness.
“ lín dào yǒu shǒu xià liú qíng ， zài xià rèn shū ！”
“林道友手下留情，在下认输！”
As his actions caused a ripple in the void, everything—ocean, mountains, and octopuses—disappeared like a dream.
wàn xiǎo xiān jūn de shēng yīn dōu dài le jǐ fēn jīng huáng zhī sè ， ruò shì shén shí bèi zhòng chuāng ， tā suǒ shòu dào de shāng hài yì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， shèn zhì yǒu kě néng yǐn qǐ jiù shāng fù fā de 。
万晓仙君的声音都带了几分惊惶之色，若是神识被重创，他所受到的伤害亦是非同小可，甚至有可能引起旧伤复发的。
Yet it was so real that the onlookers were deeply impressed.
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
Lin Xuan and Wan Xiaoxian still hovered in mid-air, facing each other.
lín xuān tīng le ， yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn guò ， dào yě méi yǒu guò fèn wéi nán yú tā 。
林轩听了，眼中精芒闪过，倒也没有过分为难于他。
The difference was that Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.
duì fāng suī rán céng jīng suàn jì guò zì jǐ ， dàn rú jīn yǒu gòng tóng de dí rén yù wài tiān mó ， lín xuān dāng rán bù xiǎng gàn chū qīn zhě tòng ， chóu zhě kuài de chǔn shì le 。
对方虽然曾经算计过自己，但如今有共同的敌人域外天魔，林轩当然不想干出亲者痛，仇者快的蠢事了。
Wan Xiaoxian, however, had a pale face with faint blood seeping from his lips. Although it was just a divine awareness battle, he had suffered some injuries due to the backlash.
yú shì jiāng páng dà de shén niàn huí shōu 。
于是将庞大的神念回收。
With this brief delay, all five mountains were dragged into the vortexes and swallowed up.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， xū kōng yòu shì yī zhèn bō dòng ， shén me hǎi yáng ， shén me shān fēng ， hái yǒu zhāng yú ， yě dōu suí fēng xiāo sàn diào le 。
随着他的动作，虚空又是一阵波动，什么海洋，什么山峰，还有章鱼，也都随风消散掉了。
"Friend Lin, please spare me! I yield!"
fǎng fú jǐn jǐn shì yì cháng mèng ！
仿佛仅仅是一场梦！
Wan Xiaoxian's voice carried a hint of panic. If his divine awareness were severely injured, he would suffer greatly, possibly even triggering old injuries.
rán ér què shì rú cǐ de zhēn shí ， ràng guǎng chǎng shàng de xiū xiān zhě jìng fú bù yǐ 。
然而却是如此的真实，让广场上的修仙者敬服不已。
"Very well."
lín xuān yǔ wàn xiǎo xiān jūn yī jiù xuán fú zài bàn kōng lǐ ， yáo yáo duì zhì 。
林轩与万晓仙君依旧悬浮在半空里，遥遥对峙。
Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes flashing with sharpness. He didn't make things too difficult for him.
suǒ bù tóng de shì ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng dàn rán yǐ jí 。
所不同的是，林轩的表情淡然以极。
Although Wan Xiaoxian had once plotted against him, they now shared an enemy—the域外天魔. Lin Xuan naturally didn’t want to do something that would hurt both parties.
ér wàn xiǎo xiān jūn zé liǎn wú rén sè ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn yǐn yǒu xuè jì shèn chū ， gāng cái suī rán jǐn jǐn shì bǐ pīn shén shí ， dàn shòu dào fǎn shì ， tā huò duō huò shǎo ， hái shì shòu le yī xiē shāng dì 。
而万晓仙君则脸无人色，嘴角边隐隐有血迹渗出，刚才虽然仅仅是比拼神识，但受到反噬，他或多或少，还是受了一些伤地。
So he retracted the vast amount of divine awareness.
zhì cǐ ， dì yī xiàng bǐ shì ， sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， yě fēn chū le shèng fù ， lín xuān chéng wéi le xiào dào zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě 。
至此，第一项比试，丝毫悬念也无，也分出了胜负，林轩成为了笑到最后的胜利者。
As his actions caused a ripple in the void, everything—ocean, mountains, and octopuses—disappeared like a dream.
zhè yuán běn jiù ràng rén cuò è ， rán ér zuì bù kě sī yì de shì ， lín xuān zài zhè yī cì bǐ shì zhōng ， suǒ liú lù chū lái de shēn bù kě cè 。
这原本就让人错愕，然而最不可思议的是，林轩在这一次比试中，所流露出来的深不可测。
Yet it was so real that the onlookers were deeply impressed.
huí sī dòu fǎ de jīng guò 。
回思斗法的经过。
Lin Xuan and Wan Xiaoxian still hovered in mid-air, facing each other.
suī jīng cǎi yǐ jí ， dàn lín xuān de biǎo xiàn ， què cóng lái yě bù céng huāng luàn jú cù ， yě jiù shì shuō ， tā yì zhí shì yóu rèn yǒu yú de 。
虽精彩以极，但林轩的表现，却从来也不曾慌乱局促，也就是说，他一直是游刃有余的。
The difference was that Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.
zhè jiā huo sì hū hái méi yǒu shén tōng jǐn chū 。
这家伙似乎还没有神通尽出。
Wan Xiaoxian, however, had a pale face with faint blood seeping from his lips. Although it was just a divine awareness battle, he had suffered some injuries due to the backlash.
With this brief delay, all five mountains were dragged into the vortexes and swallowed up.
The first test had no suspense; Lin Xuan emerged as the victor. This alone was shocking, but what was even more astonishing was how deep his capabilities seemed.
Reflecting on the battle,
though it was thrilling, Lin Xuan never showed any signs of panic or unease. He remained in full control throughout.
This guy seemed to have more tricks up his sleeve.
Lin Xuan didn't know!
So, he just observed the changes that were about to unfold. This story is originally published at ...
In any case, his divine consciousness had only released a third of its power. Therefore, Lin Xuan was confident enough to handle whatever attacks came next.
He might as well watch it happen.
With his thoughts turning over in his mind, Lin Xuan began to act like an onlooker.
And this brief delay allowed the golden eyes to fully open. A thick layer of法则力量弥漫开来.
It wasn't clear what kind of rule it was, but the massive mountain split into five smaller ones. Each one was only a third the size of the original, yet they were lush and emerald green, incredibly steep, arranged in an extremely peculiar formation.
Then, a piercing sound entered his ears as beams of light shot up from the top of each mountain.
The beams of light gradually turned into countless sword qi, their momentum astonishing. They almost blocked half the sky, like a storm sweeping across the ocean.
"This secret technique is quite impressive."
Lin Xuan's voice echoed in his own mind. The opponent’s divine awareness had nearly doubled, and his attacks became even more precise.
But what of it? There was always a downside to every advantage.
Reliant on this secret technique, his attacks couldn't last long anyway.
He just needed to endure this wave of attacks and win easily.
Of course, with Lin Xuan's powerful divine awareness, he could have charged head-on with brute force. But that would be too shocking, leaving him without any trump cards in the realm of divine awareness.
Given Lin Xuan’s personality, he preferred a clever approach over sheer force. He just needed to give his opponent a lesson.
And that would make it seem even more profound.
Despite the countless sword qi, the waves on the ocean still surged with great vigor.
Ripples spread across the surface as one mirror-like treasure after another appeared in his line of sight.
Though thin like a cicada's wing, they were incredibly sturdy. They had all been formed from divine awareness.
The application of divine consciousness to such an extent was truly breathtaking.
Sizzle...
In the next moment, the vast array of sword qi crashed into him with the force of a storm.
Waves surged in the ocean as magical runes floated up from the depths.
At the same time, the mirror-like treasures on the surface began to respond. A faint golden glow emanated from their surfaces.
Unexpectedly, those powerful sword qi were actually bounced back.
Not blocked, but directly reflected.
"What...?"
The onlookers stared in astonishment. Lin Xuan's use of divine awareness had surpassed their comprehension. How powerful must he be...
Many people pondered this silently, swallowing their saliva.
If they knew that Lin Xuan was only using about half his divine awareness at the moment, they would be even more shocked.
As for the actual participants, Wan Xiaoxian's expression was aghast. His secret technique had no effect, but his nightmare wasn't over yet.
Woo...
A distant voice echoed from the depths of the sea.
On the surface, a hurricane formed and several vortexes appeared.
Five in total!
Each vortex had a diameter exceeding a thousand feet.
From within them emanated awe-inspiring rule forces.
Hidden inside seemed to be something more.
Boom!
A loud noise rang out as gigantic monsters emerged from each vortex.
Octopuses!
They were enormous, their bodies comparable to the size of a towering mountain. Their tentacles stretched for thousands of feet and began to wrap around the five small mountains on the surface, dragging them into the sea.
Wan Xiaoxian was in a panic, struggling desperately. But it was useless; the octopuses' strength was beyond comprehension. He naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
With a grimace, his divine awareness underwent another astonishing change as some of it rose to form a crystal-clear giant blade.
Over a hundred feet long, the blade slashed at the nearest octopus tentacle.
Sizzle...
A dazzling light flashed as an incredible scene unfolded. The octopus's tentacle was incredibly hard; this razor-sharp blade made no impact upon striking it.
Instead, it bounced off like hitting stone or wood.
How could that be?
Wan Xiaoxian almost couldn't believe what he saw.
The five mountains were still being dragged into the vortexes viciously.
"Enough!"
He clenched his hands and cast a spell. The crystal-clear giant blade fell down crazily.
"Hmph, still trying to struggle?"
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's lips as he didn't make any additional movements. All five octopuses raised their heads, opened their mouths, and black beams of light shot out from within them.
Pang!
The crystal beam was shattered by a single strike.
Wan Xiaoxian stumbled, almost unable to stand in mid-air. Clearly, some part of his divine awareness had been cut off, causing significant damage.
This slight delay allowed the five mountains to be pulled into the vortexes and swallowed up.
"Friend Lin, spare me! I yield!"
Wan Xiaoxian's voice was tinged with panic. If his divine awareness were severely injured, he would suffer greatly, possibly even triggering old injuries.
"Very well."
Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes flashing with a hint of sharpness. He didn't make things too difficult for him.
Although Wan Xiaoxian had once plotted against him, they now shared an enemy—the域外天魔. Lin Xuan naturally didn’t want to do something that would hurt both parties.
So he retracted the vast amount of divine awareness.
As his actions caused a ripple in the void, everything—ocean, mountains, and octopuses—disappeared like a dream.
Yet it was so real that the onlookers were deeply impressed.
Lin Xuan and Wan Xiaoxian still hovered in mid-air, facing each other.
The difference was that Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.
Wan Xiaoxian, however, had a pale face with faint blood seeping from his lips. Although it was just a divine awareness battle, he had suffered some injuries due to the backlash.

The first test had no suspense; Lin Xuan emerged as the victor. This alone was shocking, but what was even more astonishing was how deep his capabilities seemed.
Reflecting on the battle,
though it was thrilling, Lin Xuan never showed any signs of panic or unease. He remained in full control throughout.
This guy seemed to have more tricks up his sleeve.
