“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。。.23[x].”
“原来如此。。.23[x].”
"Thus, I see..."
xū wú tīng le ， bù yǐ wéi yì ， yuán lái shì yī xīn jìn mó zūn ， zhè jiù nán guài le 。
虚无听了，不以为意，原来是一新晋魔尊，这就难怪了。
Virtue listened indifferently. It was a new demon sovereign, which explained why he hadn't paid attention before.
zuò wèi yù wài tiān mó de qī dà shǒu lǐng zhī yī ， tā de shǒu xià nà shì shù yǐ yì jì ， jué dà bù fèn jūn bù shí dé ， néng rù tā fǎ yǎn de zhǐ yǒu mó zūn jí bié de qiáng zhě 。
做为域外天魔的七大首领之一，他的手下那是数以亿计，绝大部分均不识得，能入他法眼的只有魔尊级别的强者。
As one of the seven leaders of the Demons from Beyond Heaven, his followers numbered in the billions. Most were unknown to him, and only those at the Demon Sovereign level could catch his eye.
duì fāng gāng gāng jìn jí ， nán guài zì jǐ yǐ qián bù céng liú yì 。
对方刚刚晋级，难怪自己以前不曾留意。
The opponent had just ascended, so it was no wonder he hadn’t noticed before.
“ miè lóng ， nǐ zhè ge míng zì ， dǎo shì yǒu xiē ……”
“灭龙，你这个名字，倒是有些……”
"Extinguish Dragon, your name... is quite... fitting."
“ qǐ bǐng dà rén ， shǔ xià yuán běn bù jiào zhè ge míng zì 。”
“启禀大人，属下原本不叫这个名字。”
"Report to my lord, I wasn't called that originally."
“ nà nǐ wèi hé ？”
“那你为何？”
"Why then?"
“ nài lóng zhēn rén bēi bǐ wú chǐ ， nǎi shì wǒ zú dà dí ， gèng kě hèn de shì ， zhè jiā huo hái duì dà rén nǐ wú lǐ ， suǒ yǐ shǔ xià cái wèi zì jǐ gǎi le zhè ge míng zì ， mù dì jiù shì ràng zì jǐ láo jì zhè shēng sǐ chóu dí ， yǒu yī tiān néng gòu shǒu rèn cǐ zi ， yǐ bào dà rén nín de ēn yì 。”
“鼐龙真人卑鄙无耻，乃是我族大敌，更可恨的是，这家伙还对大人你无礼，所以属下才为自己改了这个名字，目的就是让自己牢记这生死仇敌，有一天能够手刃此子，以报大人您的恩义。”
"My humble self,鼐龙真人, is a scoundrel and an enemy of our race. Furthermore, this wretch has shown disrespect towards you, my lord. Therefore, I changed my name to remind myself of this mortal foe so that one day I can kill him in revenge for your kindness."
nà zhāng tóu shǔ mù de mó zūn kāng kǎi jī áng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， rán ér liǎn shàng què shì chōng mǎn le xiàn mèi zhī yì 。
那獐头鼠目的魔尊慷慨激昂的声音传入耳朵里，然而脸上却是充满了献媚之意。
The eloquent voice of the cunning demon sovereign echoed in Virtue's ears, but his face was filled with flattery.
páng biān de mó zūn dōu lù chū bǐ yí ， rán ér xū wú tīng dé què shì shòu yòng yǐ jí 。
旁边的魔尊都露出鄙夷，然而虚无听得却是受用以极。
His fellow demons showed disdain, but Virtue found it highly pleasing.
sú huà shuō ， qiān chuān wàn chuān ， mǎ pì bù cuò ， yù wài tiān mó zhōng yīn xiǎn jiǎo huá de bù shǎo ， dàn què cóng wèi jiàn guò yǒu rén rú cǐ huì pāi mǎ pì 。
俗话说，千穿万穿，马屁不错，域外天魔中阴险狡猾的不少，但却从未见过有人如此会拍马屁。
A saying goes: "Flattery never hurt anyone." In the Demons from Beyond Heaven, many were devious and cunning, yet none had mastered flattery like this.
“ nǐ xiǎo zi yòng xīn liáng kǔ ， bù guò jiù shì xiū wèi tài ruò ， qū qū yī gāng jìn jí de mó zūn zěn me kě néng dǎ dé yíng nài lóng nà bēi bǐ wú chǐ de jiā huo ， dàn yǒu zhè fèn xīn yě shì bù cuò ， ruò shì wǒ men yù wài tiān mó rén rén dōu néng xiàng nǐ zhè bān ， hé chóu bù néng ràng líng jiè chéng wéi wǒ de náng zhōng wù 。” xū wú diǎn le diǎn tóu lú ， dà gǎn xīn wèi de shuō 。
“你小子用心良苦，不过就是修为太弱，区区一刚晋级的魔尊怎么可能打得赢鼐龙那卑鄙无耻的家伙，但有这份心也是不错，若是我们域外天魔人人都能像你这般，何愁不能让灵界成为我的囊中物。”虚无点了点头颅，大感欣慰的说。
"You are a clever boy, though your power is too weak to defeat Extinguish Dragon that scoundrel. But with such resolve, you're commendable. If all of us could be as you, we wouldn't have any trouble making the Spirit Realm our own," Virtue nodded in satisfaction.
“ xiǎo rén shì shí lì bù zú ， dàn yuàn wèi dà rén fù tāng dǎo huǒ 。”
“小人是实力不足，但愿为大人赴汤蹈火。”
"I am but lacking in strength, my lord, I will do anything for you."
“ miè lóng ， hǎo hǎo ， běn mó jūn jì xià nǐ le ， dài cǐ zhàn guò hòu ， wǒ shōu nǐ wèi tú 。” duì fāng míng míng zhāng tóu shǔ mù ， dàn zuǐ bā jí tián ， xū wú yuè kàn yuè shì shùn yǎn 。
“灭龙，好好，本魔君记下你了，待此战过后，我收你为徒。”对方明明獐头鼠目，但嘴巴极甜，虚无越看越是顺眼。
"Extinguish Dragon, good, I'll remember you. After this battle, I’ll take you as a disciple." Despite his cunning appearance, his words were sweet. Virtue found him increasingly agreeable.
“ duō xiè dà rén …… ó ， bù 。 duō xiè shī fù 。”
“多谢大人……哦，不。多谢师傅。”
"Thank you, my lord... no, thank you, master."
miè lóng tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， gǎn jī tì líng ， duì zhe xū wú guì bài xíng lǐ ， yú cí cháo sòng ， jiāng xū wú kuā dé shì qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， shén me ā xiū luó wáng ， fēi tiān mó zǔ ， zài tā miàn qián 。 dōu chéng le bù zhí yī tí de rén wù 。
灭龙听了，脸上露出大喜过望之色，感激涕零，对着虚无跪拜行礼，谀词潮送，将虚无夸得是前无古人，后无来者，什么阿修罗王，飞天魔祖，在他面前。都成了不值一提的人物。
Hearing this, Extinguish Dragon's face lit up with joy. He thanked Virtue profusely and bowed deeply, praising him to the heavens, making him seem unparalleled. Even the Arrogant King of the Devils and the Flying Demon Ancestors seemed insignificant in his eyes.
qí tā mó zūn yī zhèn wú yǔ 。
其他魔尊一阵无语。
The other demons were speechless, their disdain reaching new heights.
xīn zhōng gèng shì bǐ shì yǐ jí 。
心中更是鄙视以极。
Of course, they wouldn’t admit that they envied him a little. Who wouldn't want to please Lord Virtue?
dāng rán le ， tā men jué bú huì chéng rèn zì jǐ qí shí yǒu nà me yì diǎn xiàn mù ， bì jìng shuí bù xiǎng tǎo hǎo xū wú dà rén ne ？
当然了，他们绝不会承认自己其实有那么一点羡慕，毕竟谁不想讨好虚无大人呢？
But such flattery was hard to utter. Extinguish Dragon was shamelessly bold.
dàn xiàng zhè me ròu má de yán yǔ ， zhēn de shuō bù chū kǒu ， miè lóng zhēn shì bú yào liǎn yǐ jí 。
但像这么肉麻的言语，真的说不出口，灭龙真是不要脸以极。
But what of it? With Virtue as his master, the others could only envy from afar.
kě nà yòu rú hé ， xū wú dà rén yǐ shōu tā wèi tú ， qí tā rén yě zhǐ néng zài xīn lǐ xiàn mù 。
可那又如何，虚无大人已收他为徒，其他人也只能在心里羡慕。
Just then, a thunderous sound echoed through the air. The demon sovereigns turned to see Lin Xuan wielding his命宝 against the protective shield of Demon Screw Mountain.
ér jiù zài zhè shí ，“ hōng lōng ” yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhòng mó zūn xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú 。 zhǐ jiàn lín xuān cāo zòng zhe zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， zhèng duì zháo mó luó shān de hù zhào hěn hěn zhǎn luò 。
而就在这时，“轰隆”一声巨响传入耳朵，众魔尊循声转过头颅。只见林轩操纵着自己的本命宝物，正对着魔螺山的护罩狠狠斩落。
The sword light fell like rain, piercing the void with sharpness. The protection was formidable, but its vast area made it difficult for one person to fully block it. The shield trembled and seemed on the verge of collapse.
jiàn máng rú yǔ ， pò kōng shēng gèng shì xī lì ， mó luó shān de fáng hù zì rán shì qiáng dà yǐ jí 。 rán ér suǒ lǒng zhào de miàn jī què tài dà le xiē 。
剑芒如雨，破空声更是犀利，魔螺山的防护自然是强大以极。然而所笼罩的面积却太大了些。
"Die!"
yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， gōng qí yì diǎn ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng wán quán dǎng zhù ， hù zhào yǐ shì chàn dǒu bù yǐ 。 yǎn kàn zhe jiù yào bèi lín xuān pò qù 。
以林轩的实力，攻其一点，根本就不可能完全挡住，护罩已是颤抖不已。眼看着就要被林轩破去。
Virtue roared in anger, ignoring the flattery. He stood up: "I won't let that boy get his way. Activate all the arrays and target Lin Xuan. I must kill him here."
xū wú dà nù ， yě gù bù shàng xīn shōu de tú ér yú cí rú cháo le ， huò rán zhàn qǐ ：“ jué bù néng ràng nà lín xiǎo zi rú yì 。 gěi wǒ jiāng suǒ yǒu zhèn fǎ kāi qǐ ， mù biāo lín xuān ， wǒ yí dìng yào jiāng tā miè shā yú cǐ dì 。”
虚无大怒，也顾不上新收的徒儿谀词如潮了，豁然站起：“绝不能让那林小子如意。给我将所有阵法开启，目标林轩，我一定要将他灭杀于此地。”
Before he could finish speaking, several Demons from Beyond Heaven appeared, wielding array disks and flags. Spell after spell was cast.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
A buzzing sound filled the air as the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic. The sharp demon energy transformed into various attacks, rushing towards Lin Xuan.
huà yīn wèi luò ， sì zhōu mào chū le bù shǎo yù wài tiān mó ， shǒu chí zhèn pán zhèn qí ， yī dào dào fǎ jué dǎ le shàng qù 。
话音未落，四周冒出了不少域外天魔，手持阵盘阵旗，一道道法诀打了上去。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. Each attack individually wasn't impressive, but with so many converging on him, they couldn’t be underestimated.
dùn shí ， wēng míng shēng zhòu qǐ ， tiān dì yuán qì biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， xī lì de mó qì ， biàn huà chéng gè zhǒng gè yàng de gōng jī ， cháo zhe lín xuān fēng yōng ér qù 。
顿时，嗡鸣声骤起，天地元气变得混乱以极，犀利的魔气，变化成各种各样的攻击，朝着林轩蜂拥而去。
However...
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhè xiē gōng jī ， dān gè lái kàn dōu méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， rán ér sú huà shuō ， yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng ， quán bù cháo zì jǐ fēng yōng ér lái ， kě jiù bù gǎn xiǎo kàn 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，这些攻击，单个来看都没有什么了不起，然而俗话说，蚁多咬死象，全部朝自己蜂拥而来，可就不敢小看。
How could a large number help if they didn’t hit?
zhǐ shì ……
只是……
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he raised his right hand. A faint phoenix shadow emerged behind him.
shù liàng duō yòu rú hé ， nà yě yào dǎ zhòng zì jǐ ， cái yǒu yòng chù 。
数量多又如何，那也要打中自己，才有用处。
The True Spirit Sword Technique was now under his complete control.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo yī chě ， lù chū yī sī jī fěng zhī sè 。
林轩嘴角一扯，露出一丝讥讽之色。
His fingers swept forward.
yòu shǒu yī tái ， yǐn yǐn yǒu fèng huáng de xū yǐng zài tā bèi hòu fú xiàn 。
右手一抬，隐隐有凤凰的虚影在他背后浮现。
As he moved, a white trace appeared in mid-air, expanding to several meters before becoming a spatial rift.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ， lín xuān yǐ néng yùn zhuàn rú yì 。
真灵化剑诀，林轩已能运转如意。
Lin Xuan flashed into it, evading all the attacks.
shǒu zhǐ cháo zhe qián fāng yī huà ér qù 。
手指朝着前方一划而去。
In the next moment, Lin Xuan reappeared tens of meters away.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， xū kōng zhōng yī dào bái hén fú xiàn ér chū ， xū kōng kuò dà dào zhàng xǔ ， què shì yī dào kōng jiān fèng xì 。
随着他的动作，虚空中一道白痕浮现而出，虚空扩大到丈许，却是一道空间缝隙。
But as soon as he materialized, more attacks converged on him.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù mò rù qí jiān 。
林轩身形一闪，就没入其间。
"Stupid, every inch of Demon Screw Mountain is filled with array restrictions. You can't hide anywhere; you're trapped in a web."
rú cǐ yī lái ， suǒ yǒu gōng jī ， dōu luò dào kōng chù 。
如此一来，所有攻击，都落到空处。
Virtue's laughter echoed. He hated Extinguish Dragon to the core but Lin Xuan was also an enemy. With his arrays, he could eliminate both.
xià yī kè ， lín xuān zài shù shí zhàng wài ， fú xiàn ér chū 。
下一刻，林轩在数十丈外，浮现而出。
However, that wasn’t easy.
kě tā gāng yī xiǎn xíng ， gèng duō de gōng jī ， jiù fēng yōng ér zhì 。
可他刚一显形，更多的攻击，就蜂拥而至。
Seeing no place to hide, Lin Xuan remained unperturbed.
“ chǔn huò ， zhěng zuò mó luó shān dōu bù mǎn le zhèn fǎ jìn zhì ， duǒ ， nǐ néng duǒ dào nǎ lǐ ， tiān luó dì wǎng ， nǐ shì wú chǔ kě táo dì 。”
“蠢货，整座魔螺山都布满了阵法禁制，躲，你能躲到哪里，天罗地网，你是无处可逃地。”
More bizarrely, instead of summoning defensive treasures, he spread his hands and a visible wave rippled out from him.
xū wú hā hā dà xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā xīn zhōng hèn nài lóng rù gǔ ， dàn lín xuān yì shì dà dí ， ruò néng jiè zhèn fǎ zhī lì jiāng tā miè qù ， nà yì shì qiú zhè bù dé dì 。
虚无哈哈大笑的声音传入耳朵，他心中恨鼐龙入骨，但林轩亦是大敌，若能借阵法之力将他灭去，那亦是求这不得地。
"What is this?"
rán ér nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì 。
然而哪儿有那么容易。
Virtue’s eyes narrowed. With his strength, he recognized it instantly: "A domain?"
jiàn wú chǔ kě duǒ ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yī jiù méi yǒu lù chū jīng huāng zhī sè 。
见无处可躲，林轩脸上依旧没有露出惊慌之色。
"Hmph, while domains are indeed useful for defending against such attacks, they’re not omnipotent. The mana cost is astronomical; you can only use them in critical moments. I’ll see how long you can hold out."
gèng gǔ guài de shì ， tā yì méi yǒu jì chū fáng yù bǎo wù ， ér shì shuāng shǒu zhāng kāi ， yī dào ròu yǎn kě jiàn de bō wén yǐ lín xuān wèi zhōng xīn dàng yàng kāi lái 。
更古怪的是，他亦没有祭出防御宝物，而是双手张开，一道肉眼可见的波纹以林轩为中心荡漾开来。
"A high-ranking member of the Immortal Dao Alliance, yet so lacking in insight. Once your mana runs out, you'll be at their mercy. This time, I will make sure you suffer."
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Virtue’s face was filled with confidence.
xū wú tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yǐ tā de shí lì ， zì rán yī yǎn jiù néng gòu rèn chū ：“ lǐng yù ？”
虚无瞳孔微缩，以他的实力，自然一眼就能够认出：“领域？”
But did Lin Xuan truly not understand this simple truth?
“ hēng ， lǐng yù gù rán shì hǎo dōng xī ， yě néng gòu dǐ dǎng zhè yàng de gōng jī ， dàn lǐng yù yě bìng fēi shì wú suǒ bù néng dì ， xiāo hào de fǎ lì nǎi shì tiān wén shù zì ， zhǐ néng yòng zài guān jiàn zhī shí ， wǒ kàn nǐ néng gòu dǐ dǎng duō jiǔ de shí rì 。”
“哼，领域固然是好东西，也能够抵挡这样的攻击，但领域也并非是无所不能地，消耗的法力乃是天文数字，只能用在关键之时，我看你能够抵挡多久的时日。”
The answer was no.
“ táng táng xiān dào méng zhī zhǔ ， què zhè yàng méi yǒu jiàn shí ， yī dàn fǎ lì hào jìn ， zhǐ néng rèn rén zǎi gē ， zhè yī cì ， wǒ yào ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
“堂堂仙道盟之主，却这样没有见识，一但法力耗尽，只能任人宰割，这一次，我要让你求生不能，求死不得。”
Before he could delve deeper, a dense barrage of attacks converged on him, enveloping him in layers of various attacks. There seemed to be no place for him to hide, and he was about to be obliterated when a strange force surged forth.
xū wú de liǎn shàng ， chōng mǎn le zì xìn zhī sè 。
虚无的脸上，充满了自信之色。
A domain!
rán ér zhè me jiǎn dān de dào lǐ ， lín xuān zhēn de bù dǒng me ？
然而这么简单的道理，林轩真的不懂么？
This wasn’t surprising; Virtue’s face showed amusement.
dá àn shì fǒu dìng de 。
答案是否定的。
But then his expression froze as Lin Xuan’s hand moved, redirecting all the demon energy and converging attacks back towards Demon Screw Mountain.
shuō yě chí ， nà yě kuài ， mì mì má má de gōng jī ， yǐ fēng yōng ér zhì ， jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ jìn qù 。
说也迟，那也快，密密麻麻的攻击，已蜂拥而至，将林轩包裹进去。
Right. Not only were they blocked, but they were also reflected. Using the enemy's own weapon against them, Lin Xuan executed a brilliant counterattack.
céng céng dié dié ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de gōng jī zhī duō ， lìng rén zé shé ， lín xuān gēn běn duǒ wú kě duǒ ， yǎn kàn jiù yào bèi hōng shā chéng fěn mò liǎo ， rán ér yī gǔ qí yì de lì liàng bō dòng fú xiàn ér chū 。
层层叠叠，各种各样的攻击之多，令人咋舌，林轩根本躲无可躲，眼看就要被轰杀成粉末了，然而一股奇异的力量波动浮现而出。
Of course, it would take another to do this; Virtue’s face showed disbelief: "Impossible. Even with my domain, I can only block these attacks at most. How could they be reflected?"
lǐng yù ！
领域！
"Could it be..."
zhè yì diǎn háo bù chū qí ， xū wú de liǎn shàng yì lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， xiǎn de bù yǐ wéi rán yǐ jí 。
这一点毫不出奇，虚无的脸上亦露出一丝笑意，显得不以为然以极。
But by then, it was too late. With a thunderous sound, the void collapsed and the shield sank deeply. Such an opportunity, how could Lin Xuan let it go.
kě xià yī kè ， tā de biǎo qíng jiāng zhù 。
可下一刻，他的表情僵住。
With a wave of his sleeve, sharp sword light emerged like fish swimming out, converging to form a silver giant sword over a hundred meters long, which he slashed forward with all his might. (To be continued...)
"Thus, I see..."
Virtue listened indifferently. It was a new demon sovereign, which explained why he hadn't paid attention before.
As one of the seven leaders of the Demons from Beyond Heaven, his followers numbered in the billions. Most were unknown to him, and only those at the Demon Sovereign level could catch his eye.
