jiù zhè yàng ， lín xuān héng chōng zhí chuǎng ， míng míng dí rén zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， zhòng mó zūn què wú kě nài hé ， fǎn ér bèi shā dé bào tóu shǔ cuàn diào le 。(..
就这样，林轩横冲直闯，明明敌人只有一个，众魔尊却无可奈何，反而被杀得抱头鼠窜掉了。(..
Lin Xuan charged through the battlefield with reckless abandon. Despite there being only one enemy, the demon lords found themselves helpless and were instead fleeing in panic.
guǐ kū láng háo zhī shēng bù jué yú ěr duō 。
鬼哭狼嚎之声不绝于耳多。
The howls of demons echoed endlessly.
hěn kuài nà bào zhà shēng gèng jīng dòng le wài miàn de yù wài tiān mó 。
很快那爆炸声更惊动了外面的域外天魔。
Soon, the explosions drew the attention of the域外天魔 outside.
zhòng mó tóu de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng yí ， yào shuō zhè xiē nián lái ， xiān dào méng yě bú shì méi yǒu duì tā men fā dòng guò gōng jī ， dàn dà duō shì sāo rǎo shì tàn ér yǐ ， bù zhí yī tí 。
众魔头的脸上满是惊疑，要说这些年来，仙道盟也不是没有对他们发动过攻击，但大多是骚扰试探而已，不值一提。
On the faces of the demon heads, there was a mix of shock and disbelief. Over the years, the Immortal Alliance had indeed launched attacks on them, but mostly for harassment and probing purposes—nothing significant. The affected areas were merely the outer regions where the demon army was stationed.
suǒ bō jí de qū yù ， yě bù guò shì tiān mó dà jūn zhù zhā de wài wéi ér yǐ 。
所波及的区域，也不过是天魔大军驻扎的外围而已。
But now...
kě cǐ kè ……
可此刻……
The chaos originated from deep within the encampment, which was supposed to be the residence of the demon lords. How could this be possible? Who dared attack there with such audacity? And how did they manage to traverse hundreds of miles of demon territory without being detected?
nà hùn luàn què lái zì yú yíng zhàng de shēn chù ， nà kě shì zhòng mó zūn dà rén de jù jū zhī suǒ 。
那混乱却来自于营帐的深处，那可是众魔尊大人的聚居之所。
So many questions filled their minds that astonishment took over their expressions.
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Yet, the demon lords were preoccupied and none stepped forward to issue commands. As curiosity is a universal trait, even the域外天魔 couldn't resist. Some bold demons ventured out to investigate on their own.
shuí chī le xióng xīn bào zi dǎn gǎn gōng jī nà lǐ 。
谁吃了熊心豹子胆敢攻击那里。
Though few had such courage, considering the vast number of demons in the army, the absolute numbers weren't insignificant either.
tā men yòu shì zěn me chuān yuè shù bǎi lǐ de mó zú yíng zhàng ér bù bèi fā xiàn dì ？
他们又是怎么穿越数百里的魔族营帐而不被发现地？
Their addition made it seem like they faced more enemies initially, but actually, it was the opposite. The newly arrived域外天魔 had varying levels of cultivation—some at the分散神stage, others even at the元婴离合stage. Such beings posed no threat to Lin Xuan; in fact, their presence only added chaos.
tài duō tài duō de yí huò 。
太多太多的疑惑。
Since he entered alone and faced enemies everywhere, there was no risk of friendly fire. He unleashed a wide range of destructive spells with abandon.
ràng zhòng yù wài tiān mó liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng dōu bèi jīng yà zhàn jù le 。
让众域外天魔脸上的表情都被惊讶占据了。
Suddenly, the sky filled with lightning and flames. Soon after, icy winds swept across the battlefield.
piān piān zhòng mó zūn zì gù bù xiá ， méi yǒu yí gè rén chū lái fā hào shī lìng ， ér hào qí xīn rén jiē yǒu zhī ， yù wài tiān mó yì bù néng miǎn sú ， yú shì yī xiē dǎn dà de tiān mó ， jiù zì jǐ qián wǎng yī tàn jiū jìng le 。
偏偏众魔尊自顾不暇，没有一个人出来发号施令，而好奇心人皆有之，域外天魔亦不能免俗，于是一些胆大的天魔，就自己前往一探究竟了。
In short, Lin Xuan followed no pattern; whatever he could target, he did.
yǒu rú cǐ dǎn liàng de bǐ lì bù duō ， dàn xiǎng xiǎng tiān mó dà jūn jīng rén de shù é ， yú shì jué duì de rén shù yě bú huì shǎo le 。
有如此胆量的比例不多，但想想天魔大军惊人的数额，于是绝对的人数也不会少了。
He then used the technique to transform swords into threads. Silver light rained down in the sky, weaving through the air, causing a continuous stream of screams.
zhè xiē jiā huo de jiā rù ， biǎo miàn shàng ， ràng zì jǐ miàn lín de qiáng dí biàn dé gèng duō ， shí jì shàng ， què shì bù rán ， yīn wèi xīn jiā rù de yù wài tiān mó ， xiū wèi gèng jiā de cēn cī bù qǐ ， fēn shén 、 dòng xuán ， yǒu de shèn zhì cái yuán yīng lí hé qī 。
这些家伙的加入，表面上，让自己面临的强敌变得更多，实际上，却是不然，因为新加入的域外天魔，修为更加的参差不起，分神、洞玄，有的甚至才元婴离合期。
Even渡劫期魔尊 managed to react and defend themselves somewhat. However, those with lower cultivation levels met their demise instantly—some died on contact, others were like ants caught in a pot, scrambling for survival.
zhè yàng de cún zài ， zěn me kě néng duì lín xuān gòu chéng wēi shè ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， tā men de jiā rù ， gěi nà xiē mó zūn tiān luàn hái chà bu duō 。
这样的存在，怎么可能对林轩构成威慑，恰恰相反，他们的加入，给那些魔尊添乱还差不多。
Those who tried to flee were lucky; some even accidentally injured their own allies while releasing their treasures.
fǎn zhèng lín xuān shì dān qiāng pǐ mǎ chuǎng rù zhè lǐ ， rù mù suǒ jí ， quán shì dí rén ， bú huì yǒu wù shāng yī shuō 。
反正林轩是单枪匹马闯入这里，入目所及，全是敌人，不会有误伤一说。
As the saying goes: "To pluck chestnuts from the fire."
yú shì tā sī háo gù jì yě wú ， sì wú jì dàn de shī zhǎn dà fàn wéi de shā shāng fǎ shù 。
于是他丝毫顾忌也无，肆无忌惮的施展大范围的杀伤法术。
With Lin Xuan's strength, the more chaotic things got, the easier it was for him to exploit the situation. After a fierce battle, countless域外天魔 perished, but Lin Xuan remained alive and laughing.
dùn shí màn tiān léi huǒ ， shǎo qǐng què yòu biàn chéng bīng fēng sì lüè le 。
顿时漫天雷火，少顷却又变成冰风肆掠了。
The outcome was even better than he had anticipated. He could definitely achieve his goal of eliminating one demon lord.
zǒng ér yán zhī 。 jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ， lín xuān shì fēn háo guī lǜ yě wú ， dǎi zhe nǎ ge fàng nǎ ge 。
总而言之。金木水火土，林轩是分毫规律也无，逮着哪个放哪个。
However, just as this was happening, a sharp command rang out: "Fools! What are you doing here? Get out of the way."
suí hòu yòu shī zhǎn chū huà jiàn wèi sī ， dàn jiàn tiān kōng zhōng yín guāng rú yǔ ， zòng héng chuān suō ， cǎn jiào shēng jī hū shì lián mián qǐ fú 。
随后又施展出化剑为丝，但见天空中银光如雨，纵横穿梭，惨叫声几乎是连绵起伏。
Before anyone could react, an overwhelming spiritual pressure descended from the sky.
dù jié qī mó zūn hǎo hái shuō ， cǐ shí fǎn yìng guò lái ， zǒng hái néng gòu dǐ dǎng yī èr 。
渡劫期魔尊好还说，此时反应过来，总还能够抵挡一二。
Not one, but three such pressures came from different directions—渡劫后期的灵压. The timing and angles were perfect, effectively trapping Lin Xuan in the center.
ér xiū wèi shāo xùn de tiān mó ， yí gè èr gè ， kě jiù dào le dà méi le 。
而修为稍逊的天魔，一个二个，可就倒了大霉了。
The Demon Rock City Lord.
zhān zhe jiù sǐ 。 pèng zhe jiù wáng ， fǎng fú zhà le guō de mǎ yǐ yī yàng 。
沾着就死。碰着就亡，仿佛炸了锅的蚂蚁一样。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as he recognized this voice. Upon hearing that command, regardless of their cultivation levels, all域外天魔, including demon lords, retreated like a tide.
bào tóu shǔ cuàn dōu suàn shì hǎo le 。
抱头鼠窜都算是好了。
In just a few moments, an open space appeared before him, making Lin Xuan's face contort with displeasure.
hái yǒu yī xiē máng mù dì fàng chū bǎo wù ， jié guǒ lín xuān méi dǎ zhe ， zì jǐ rén dǎo shì wù shāng liǎo wú shù 。
还有一些盲目的放出宝物，结果林轩没打着，自己人倒是误伤了无数。
The more chaotic the situation, the easier it was for him to exploit the chaos. Now that these demons had retreated, he would find it difficult to take advantage of the confusion again.
sú huà shuō ， huǒ zhōng qǔ lì 。
俗话说，火中取栗。
However, fear did not show on his face, nor did he plan to break through and retreat. The battle had gone well, but his ambitions were even greater.
yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， chǎng miàn yuè shì hùn luàn ， yuè shì yóu rèn yǒu yú 。
以林轩的实力，场面越是混乱，越是游刃有余。
Since he had found the main target, Lin Xuan wanted a permanent solution—eliminating the Demon Rock City Lord once and for all.
jié guǒ ， yī fān hùn zhàn xià lái ， yù wài tiān mó yǔn luò liǎo wú shù 。 lín xuān què zài nà lǐ huó bèng luàn tiào de xiào zhe 。
结果，一番混战下来，域外天魔陨落了无数。林轩却在那里活蹦乱跳的笑着。
But what he saw before him left him speechless.
jú miàn bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yǒu lì ， zhè yàng xià qù ， miè shā yì bān mó zūn de yù qī shì jué duì yǒu kě néng dá chéng dì 。
局面比自己想象的还有利，这样下去，灭杀一般魔尊的预期是绝对有可能达成地。
Knowing that he was now in sync with his avatar, which had faced off against the Demon Rock City Lord, he recalled it as a towering figure of rock-like substance. But the demon rock title wasn't just a name; it was real.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī shēng duàn hē chuán rù ěr lǐ 。 fǎng fú qíng tiān pī lì ：“ yī qún chǔn huò ， dōu dāi zài zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， quán bù gǔn kāi 。”
然而就在这时，一声断喝传入耳里。仿佛晴天霹雳：“一群蠢货，都呆在这里做什么，全部滚开。”
The creature before him...
huà yīn wèi luò ， yī gǔ jīng rén de líng yā cóng tiān kōng zhōng là le xià lái 。
话音未落，一股惊人的灵压从天空中落了下来。
No, there were three.
bú duì 。 bú shì yī gǔ ， yī gòng yǒu sān dào zhī duō ， lái zì yú bù tóng fāng xiàng 。 quán bù shì dù jié hòu qī de líng yā méi cuò 。
不对。不是一股，一共有三道之多，来自于不同方向。全部是渡劫后期的灵压没错。
One in front of him matched his memory—tall and rock-like, with four arms and a body covered in dark scales. Its eyes glowed silver, and behind its back, bat-like wings flapped gently.
shí jī jiǎo dù ， jiē shì qià dào hǎo chù ， zhèng hǎo jiāng lín xuān wéi zài zhōng xīn le 。
时机角度，皆是恰到好处，正好将林轩围在中心了。
Another looked like a lizard at first glance but was humanoid with copper-colored scales covering its entire body. Its tail was long and snake-like, swaying menacingly.
mó yán chéng zhǔ 。
魔岩城主。
On the surface, everything seemed normal. The Demon Rock City Lord had surrounded himself with two capable subordinates.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yì sè 。
林轩的脸上露出一丝异色。
But was this truly the case?
yīn wèi tīng dào zhè shēng duàn hē ， bù guǎn xiū wèi rú hé ， nà xiē yù wài tiān mó ， bāo kuò mó zūn jí bié de qiáng zhě ， quán bù dōu rú cháo shuǐ yì bān de xiàng hòu tuì qù le 。
因为听到这声断喝，不管修为如何，那些域外天魔，包括魔尊级别的强者，全部都如潮水一般的向后退去了。
No, it wasn't. Lin Xuan's divine sense could rival that of a true cultivator. He felt it—the three creatures were actually connected in their essence.
bù guò duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， miàn qián jiù qīng chū le hǎo dà yī piàn kòng dì ， lín xuān de liǎn sè bù yóu de biàn dé nán kàn wú bǐ 。
不过短短几息的功夫，面前就清出了好大一片空地，林轩的脸色不由得变得难看无比。
In simpler terms, he felt they weren't three separate beings but one.
shuǐ zhì qīng zé wú yú ， yuè shì hùn luàn tā yuè néng gòu huǒ zhōng qǔ lì 。
水至清则无鱼，越是混乱他越能够火中取栗。
More simply put, these three were actually the same entity—though their appearances differed, they shared a common origin.
rú jīn zhè xiē mó tóu quán bù tuì qù ， zì jǐ zài xiǎng yào chèn luàn miè shā tā men kě jiù nán yǐ 。
如今这些魔头全部退去，自己再想要趁乱灭杀他们可就难矣。
His avatar hadn't made any mistakes either.
bù guò lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū wèi jù zhī sè ， yě méi yǒu dǎ suàn tū wéi huí fǔ 。
不过林轩脸上并没有露出畏惧之色，也没有打算突围回府。
This meant that during the last great battle, the Demon Rock City Lord had hidden his true power and didn't reveal all of it.
zhàn guǒ hěn bú cuò ， dàn tā de wèi kǒu què shì gèng lí pǔ 。
战果很不错，但他的胃口却是更离谱。
With this in mind, Lin Xuan began to ponder which one was the main body and which two were avatars.
jì rán zhǎo dào le zhèng zhǔ ér ， lín xuān xiǎng yào yì láo yǒng yì ， jiāng zhè mó yán chéng zhǔ miè qù 。
既然找到了正主儿，林轩想要一劳永逸，将这魔岩城主灭去。
He honestly couldn't tell them apart. The three beings' spiritual energies were incredibly powerful.
rán ér rù mù suǒ jí ， què ràng tā de biǎo qíng dāi zhù 。
然而入目所及，却让他的表情呆住。
It seemed that the First Demon Lord wasn't exaggerating; his opponent truly possessed formidable power.
yào zhī dào lín xuān rú jīn yǐ yǔ huà shēn huì hé ， ér tā de huà shēn ， kě zēng jīng duì shàng guò mó yán chéng zhǔ 。
要知道林轩如今已与化身汇合，而他的化身，可曾经对上过魔岩城主。
To clarify this point, another cultivator might have given up at this stage, but Lin Xuan didn't.
zài tā de jì yì lǐ ， duì fāng yīng gāi shì yǐ shēn gāo zhàng xǔ ， rú yán shí yì bān de dōng xī ， dāng rán ， yī jiù shì rén xíng dì 。
在他的记忆里，对方应该是以身高丈许，如岩石一般的东西，当然，依旧是人形地。
Even if he was a demon lord, it was just one more challenge. If he couldn't defeat him, how could he face the void?
dàn mó yán zhī chēng ， què jué fēi luàn qǔ ， ér shì zhēn yǒu qí shì dì 。
但魔岩之称，却绝非乱取，而是真有其事地。
He had to try and see if he could eliminate them.
kě yǎn qián zhè ge jiā huo ……
可眼前这个家伙……
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan acted without hesitation.
bú duì ， yīng gāi shuō shì sān gè 。
不对，应该说是三个。
In front of all the域外天魔, who were now deep within their territory, his boldness was impressive.
zì jǐ zhèng qián fāng de yí gè ， què rán yǔ jì yì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
自己正前方的一个，确然与记忆相差仿佛。
As the Nine Palaces Needle Sword was about to fly out, a demon rock lord spoke up: "Wait!"
shì nà yóu hēi hū hū yán shí gòu chéng de guài wù ， yě jiù shì yǔ zì jǐ céng jīng jiāo guò shǒu de mó yán chéng zhǔ 。
是那由黑乎乎岩石构成的怪物，也就是与自己曾经交过手的魔岩城主。
"Why?"
qí guài de shì páng biān liǎng gè 。
奇怪的是旁边两个。
Lin Xuan paused as he raised an eyebrow. He had stopped moving. The element of surprise was lost, so it didn't matter if he delayed a bit longer.
Lin Xuan charged through the battlefield with reckless abandon. Despite there being only one enemy, the demon lords found themselves helpless and were instead fleeing in panic.
The howls of demons echoed endlessly.
Soon, the explosions drew the attention of the域外天魔 outside.
