cāng liáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， bèi diǎn rán de hùn dùn yāo qì ， zài xū kōng zhōng sì lüè bù yǐ 。《.23x.
苍凉的声音传入耳朵，风起云涌，被点燃的混沌妖气，在虚空中肆掠不已。《.23x.
The cold voice entered his ears, and the chaotic aura of chaos beasts, ignited by the storm, roamed wildly in the void.
bǐ qǐ gāng fēng ， gèng jiā de lǐn liè yǐ jí 。
比起罡风，更加的凛冽以极。
Compared to the gale force winds, it was even more chilling.
xū kōng bèi qiē gē chéng le zhī lí pò suì de dōng xī 。
虚空被切割成了支离破碎的东西。
The void was sliced into fragmented pieces.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì chū shǐ ， bìng fēi fèng huáng de gōng jī 。
然而这仅仅是初始，并非凤凰的攻击。
However, this was just the beginning; it wasn't Phoenix's attack yet.
suí hòu nà xiē jiāo zhī chuān suō de hùn dùn yāo qì ， zhú jiàn jù hé zài yì qǐ 。
随后那些交织穿梭的混沌妖气，逐渐聚合在一起。
Subsequently, those intertwined and weaving chaotic auras gradually coalesced together.
yí gè yí gè de qì xuán chū xiàn zài le xū kōng lǐ 。
一个一个的气旋出现在了虚空里。
One by one, whirlpools appeared in the void.
kāi shǐ zhí jìng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， hěn kuài jiù kuò dà dào le fāng yuán shù shí zhàng de jù lí ， ér qiě hái zài yǐ jīng rén de sù dù kuò zhǎn bù yǐ 。
开始直径不过尺许，很快就扩大到了方圆数十丈的距离，而且还在以惊人的速度扩展不已。
Initially, they were no bigger than a foot, but quickly expanded to cover dozens of feet. They continued to expand at an alarming rate.
zhù yì ， zhè xiē qì xuán bìng fēi wéi yī ， ér shì yǒu chéng bǎi shàng qiān zhī duō 。
注意，这些气旋并非唯一，而是有成百上千之多。
These whirlpools weren't singular; there were hundreds and even thousands of them.
nà bái yī shào nián de liǎn shàng ， yě zhōng yú lù chū le níng zhòng zhī sè 。
那白衣少年的脸上，也终于露出了凝重之色。
The white-robed youth's face finally showed a serious expression.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"Is this..."
tā yǐn yǐn xiǎng dào le yí gè kě pà de chuán shuō 。
他隐隐想到了一个可怕的传说。
He vaguely recalled a terrifying legend.
xū kōng bēng luò ！
虚空崩落！
Void collapse!
chuán shuō zhōng bǎi niǎo zhī wáng de bì shā jué huó 。
传说中百鸟之王的必杀绝活。
This was the ultimate technique of the king of all birds, as described in legends.
tián xiāng de cāi cè méi yǒu cuò ， míng zhī dào duì fāng shì kě pà de qiáng dí ， fèng huáng kě méi yǒu nà me yú chǔn hái yī zhāo yī zhāo de yǔ duì fāng shì tàn xià qù 。
田襄的猜测没有错，明知道对方是可怕的强敌，凤凰可没有那么愚蠢还一招一招的与对方试探下去。
Tian Xiang’s guess wasn’t wrong. Knowing that his opponent was an formidable foe, Phoenix wouldn't be so foolish to continue probing with one move after another.
yào me bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， yào me zì jǐ shuō bù dìng jiù huì yǔn luò yú zhè lǐ 。
要么毕其功于一役，要么自己说不定就会陨落于这里。
Either he would succeed or fall here himself.
suǒ wèi xū kōng bēng luò ， nà kě bǐ shén me kōng jiān luàn liú hái yào kě pà xǔ duō ， nǎi shì xū kōng chè dǐ bēng kuì shí chǎn shēng de huǐ miè zhī lì 。
所谓虚空崩落，那可比什么空间乱流还要可怕许多，乃是虚空彻底崩溃时产生的毁灭之力。
A void collapse was far more terrifying than spatial anomalies; it was the destructive force generated when the void completely collapsed.
yǒu duō qiáng ne ？
有多强呢？
How powerful was it?
miǎo dù jié hòu qī de lǐng yù qiáng zhě jiù gēn shuō xiào shì de 。
秒渡劫后期的领域强者就跟说笑似的。
Even a late-stage realm powerhouse could easily cross over realms in an instant.
ruò shì tā yuàn yì ， shèn zhì kě yǐ yòng zhè yī zhāo jiāng yǔ zhòu zhōng de xīng chén yě tūn shì jìn qù 。
若是它愿意，甚至可以用这一招将宇宙中的星辰也吞噬进去。
If it wanted, it could even devour stars and planets within the universe.
néng gòu fěn suì xīng chén de jué jì ， nǎi shì kōng jiān fǎ zé de zuì zhōng ào yì 。
能够粉碎星辰的绝技，乃是空间法则的最终奥义。
The ultimate technique that could shatter stars was the final secret of spacelaw/ principle.
tián xiāng de liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū le yī sī níng zhòng zhī yì 。
田襄的脸上也不由得露出了一丝凝重之意。
Tian Xiang's face also showed a hint of seriousness.
rú jīn de tā ， suī shì zhēn xiān zhī zhōng de zuì qiáng zhě ， dàn ruò lùn duì xū kōng fǎ zé de lǐng wù ， nà yě shì yuǎn jí bù shàng fèng huáng de 。
如今的他，虽是真仙之中的最强者，但若论对虚空法则的领悟，那也是远及不上凤凰的。
Although he was the strongest among true immortals, his understanding of void principles still fell short compared to Phoenix’s.
xū kōng bēng luò de dà míng tā yě yǒu tīng shuō ， zì rán bù gǎn shì ruò wú dǔ 。
虚空崩落的大名他也有听说，自然不敢视若无睹。
He had heard about the name and couldn't afford to ignore it.
shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò qí yì de guǐ jì ， ér nà wàn juàn tiān shū ， zé bèi yī tuán jīn máng bāo guǒ 。 xú xú fēi dào tā de tóu dǐng shàng miàn le ， yǐn yuē yǒu wú shù jīn yín èr sè de fú wén cóng qí biǎo miàn kuáng yǒng ér chū 。
双手抬起，在虚空中划过奇异的轨迹，而那万卷天书，则被一团金芒包裹。徐徐飞到他的头顶上面了，隐约有无数金银二色的符文从其表面狂涌而出。
With both hands raised, drawing strange trajectories in the air, the Ten Thousand Volumes of Heaven Book was enveloped by a golden glow. It slowly flew above him, with countless golden and silver runes surging out from its surface.
yī shí jiān guāng huá dà zuò ， cuǐ càn shén máng zhàn fàng ér chū ， rú tóng hóng zhōng dà lǚ yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一时间光华大做，璀璨神芒绽放而出，如同洪钟大吕一般的声音传入耳朵。
A dazzling light filled the space as divine radiance burst forth, like the sound of a great bell ringing in his ears.
yuán běn huī bái de tiān kōng ， yǐn yǐn duō chū jǐ fēn yīn àn zhī sè 。
原本灰白的天空，隐隐多出几分阴暗之色。
The originally grayish-white sky seemed to darken slightly.
xū wú de kōng jiān ， fǎng fú yī tán bèi fēng chuī zhòu de xiǎo hú ， diǎn diǎn lián yī dàng yàng ér chū 。
虚无的空间，仿佛一潭被风吹皱的小湖，点点涟漪荡漾而出。
The void space appeared like ripples on a small lake disturbed by the wind.
suí hòu yǎn lián zhī zhōng chū xiàn yí gè yòu yí gè fǎng fú jìng zi mú yàng de bǎo wù 。
随后眼帘之中出现一个又一个仿佛镜子模样的宝物。
Then, one mirror-like artifact after another appeared before his eyes.
suī báo rú chán yì ， què jiān yìng yǐ jí 。
虽薄如蝉翼，却坚硬以极。
Though thin as a cicada's wing, they were incredibly sturdy, all formed from those golden and silver runes.
quán bù shì yóu nà jīn yín èr sè de fú wén biàn huà ér chéng dì 。
全部是由那金银二色的符文变化而成地。
Facing the ultimate secret of the king of all birds, Tian Xiang didn't hide his true strength; he used his treasure, the Ten Thousand Volumes of Heaven Book.
miàn duì bǎi niǎo zhī wáng de zhōng jí ào yì ， tián xiāng bù gǎn cáng zhuō ， shǐ yòng qǐ le zì jǐ de fǎ bǎo wàn juàn tiān shū 。
面对百鸟之王的终极奥义，田襄不敢藏拙，使用起了自己的法宝万卷天书。
His application of power had reached an astonishing level.
ér jiāng fǎ lì yùn yòng dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。 dàng zhēn dào le lìng rén tàn wéi guān zhǐ de dì bù 。
而将法力运用到这种程度。当真到了令人叹为观止的地步。
Snap...
cī lā ……
刺啦……
In the next moment, the void collapsed. The hundreds of whirlpools suddenly expanded, and destructive force surged out from within.
xià yī kè ， xū kōng bēng tā xiàn luò ， nà chéng bǎi shàng qiān de qì xuán zhòu rán kuò dà le ， huǐ miè zhī lì cóng lǐ miàn dàng yàng ér chū 。
下一刻，虚空崩塌陷落，那成百上千的气旋骤然扩大了，毁灭之力从里面荡漾而出。
Where gods stand, they are slain; where demons stand, they are butchered.
shén dǎng shā shén ， mó dǎng tú mó 。
神挡杀神，魔挡屠魔。
The sound of air breaking filled his ears as each whirlpool grew larger with every inch it moved forward. It was no longer just a whirlpool but a black hole in the primordial universe capable of swallowing starlight.
kōng qì pò suì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qì xuán měi xiàng qián yī cùn ， jiù biàn dà yī quān ， huǎng rán jiān ， nǎ lǐ hái shì shén me qì xuán 。 fēn míng jiù shì hóng méng yǔ zhòu zhōng de hēi dòng ， néng gòu tūn shì xīng kōng 。
空气破碎的声音传入耳朵，气旋每向前一寸，就变大一圈，恍然间，哪里还是什么气旋。分明就是鸿蒙宇宙中的黑洞，能够吞噬星空。
The chilling gale force winds swept across everything. The waves of power surged, like a tidal wave, enveloping the white-robed youth.
líng liè de gāng fēng ， pū tiān gài dì ， wēng 。 zhuàng jī zhòng ， yī dào dào lì liàng de bō wén jī dàng kāi ， tiān dì yī piàn jì rán 。
凌冽的罡风，铺天盖地，嗡。撞击中，一道道力量的波纹激荡开，天地一片寂然。
Tian Xiang wasn't afraid; he remained calm and even wore a faint smile on his lips: "The ultimate secret of void principles is merely this."
zài zhè tiān dì zhī lì miàn qián ， rén yě hǎo 。 xiān yě bà ， xiǎn de shì rú cǐ de piāo miǎo ， ruò xiǎo dào wēi bù zú dào 。
在这天地之力面前，人也好。仙也罢，显得是如此的飘渺，弱小到微不足道。
"What did you say?"
tián xiāng jiù fǎng fú shì yī zhī lóu yǐ 。 rán ér tā de shén sè què píng jìng yǐ jí ， zuǐ jiǎo biān shèn zhì qín zhe jǐ fēn xiào yì ：“ xū kōng fǎ zé de zuì zhōng ào yì ， yě bù guò rú cǐ ér yǐ 。”
田襄就仿佛是一只蝼蚁。然而他的神色却平静以极，嘴角边甚至噙着几分笑意：“虚空法则的最终奥义，也不过如此而已。”
Phoenix was enraged. As one of the top true spirits, the king of all birds, it had never been insulted like this before—daring to treat its ownsoul essence technique as nothing.
“ nǐ shuō shén me ？”
“你说什么？”
True immortals? So what if he wasn't a butcher?
fèng huáng bó rán dà nù ， zuò wèi zhēn líng zhī zhōng de dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ， hé shí shòu guò zhè yàng de wǔ rǔ ， jū rán gǎn shì zì jǐ de běn mìng jué zhāo wèi wú wù 。
凤凰勃然大怒，做为真灵之中的顶级强者，百鸟之王，何时受过这样的侮辱，居然敢视自己的本命绝招为无物。
The loud cry of the phoenix echoed through the heavens, shaking his ears. Just that sound alone could turn ordinary late-stage realm cultivators into dust and blood. How much more so with an ultimate rule that could shatter starlight?
zhēn xiān yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ yòu bú shì méi yǒu tú guò ？
真仙又如何，自己又不是没有屠过？
Incredible power surged in waves, enveloping the white-robed youth.
liáo liàng de fèng míng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiǔ tiān huí xiǎng ， zhèn ěr fā lóng ， fèng huáng shì dòng le zhēn huǒ ， guāng shì zhè jiào shēng jiù néng gòu ràng pǔ tōng de dù jié qī xiū shì wàn jié bù fù ， qī qiào liú xiě le ， gèng hé kuàng nà néng gòu fěn suì xīng kōng de jué shì fǎ zé 。
嘹亮的凤鸣传入耳朵，九天回响，震耳发聋，凤凰是动了真火，光是这叫声就能够让普通的渡劫期修士万劫不复，七窍流血了，更何况那能够粉碎星空的绝世法则。
Tian Xiang wasn't afraid; he remained calm as a thousand rays of light shot out from his eyes. As his hands moved, powerful runes floated out from his body.
jīng rén de lì liàng ， céng céng dié dié ， rú hǎi cháo kuáng juǎn ， shì nù láng tāo tiān ， jiāng bái yī shào nián bāo guǒ zài le lǐ miàn 。
惊人的力量，层层叠叠，如海潮狂卷，似怒狼滔天，将白衣少年包裹在了里面。
At the same time, the mirror-like artifact in the sky began to respond, emitting a layer of golden light from its surface.
tián xiāng què bìng bù wèi jù ， wú jīng wú xǐ ， yǎn zhōng yǒu cuǐ càn de jīng guāng bào shè chū qù ， suí zhe qí shuāng shǒu de dòng zuò ， yí gè yòu yí gè de fú wén yóu tā de shēn tǐ zhōng piāo fēi ér chū 。
田襄却并不畏惧，无惊无喜，眼中有璀璨的精光爆射出去，随着其双手的动作，一个又一个的符文由他的身体中飘飞而出。
Each beam of gold corresponded to a powerful rule, transcending just one realm and delving into the primordial universe's essence.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， tiān kōng zhōng 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 chū qù le 。
与此同时，天空中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出去了。
Tian Xiang was now the strongest among true immortals. His understanding of space principles was at the highest level.
měi yī dào jīn guāng ， dōu duì yìng zhe qiáng dà de fǎ zé ， zhè yǐ jīng bú shì yí gè jiè miàn de fǎ zé ， ér shì duì yǔ zhòu hóng huāng ， hóng méng chū shǐ de gǎn wù 。
每一道金光，都对应着强大的法则，这已经不是一个界面的法则，而是对宇宙洪荒，鸿蒙初始的感悟。
How could the stars and planets stand against the original power of the primordial universe?
rú jīn de tián xiāng ， nǎi shì zhēn xiān zhōng de zuì qiáng zhě 。
如今的田襄，乃是真仙中的最强者。
Phoenix was strong, but his and Tian Xiang’s levels were different.
tā de tiān dì fǎ zé ， céng cì yě shì zuì gāo de 。
他的天地法则，层次也是最高的。
...
huǐ miè xīng kōng yòu rú hé ， néng gòu dǎng dé zhù hóng méng yǔ zhòu běn yuán de lì liàng ？
毁灭星空又如何，能够挡得住鸿蒙宇宙本源的力量？
An unbelievable scene unfolded: The force that could destroy starlight was actually neutralized—no, not neutralized; it bounced back.
fèng huáng hěn qiáng ， dàn zì jǐ yǔ tā de céng cì dōu bù yí yàng 。
凤凰很强，但自己与他的层次都不一样。
The hunter became the prey. Phoenix's eyes widened in shock.
jiē xià lái ， fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà néng gòu huǐ miè xīng kōng de lì liàng ， jū rán bèi huà jiě le ， bú duì ， bú shì huà jiě ， ér shì fǎn tán le huí qù 。
接下来，发生了不可思议的一幕，那能够毁灭星空的力量，居然被化解了，不对，不是化解，而是反弹了回去。
Was this truly a true immortal's power?
liè rén biàn chéng le liè wù ， fèng huáng dōu cuò è de dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
猎人变成了猎物，凤凰都错愕的瞪大了眼珠。
Or had he already become the legendary Daoist Ancestor—the ultimate form of a true immortal?
zhè zhēn de shì xiān rén de lì liàng me ？
这真的是仙人的力量么？
Hua Yu had been just one step short during his time as a feathered phoenix, though very close to becoming a Daoist Ancestor.
hái shì shuō ， tā yǐ jīng chéng wéi le chuán shuō zhōng de dào zǔ 。
还是说，他已经成为了传说中的道祖。
Could Tian Xiang be so powerful?
xiān rén de zuì qiáng xíng tài 。
仙人的最强形态。
Phoenix’s face was filled with shock. But there was no way to dodge now; the void had collapsed, and spatial principles couldn’t escape from here.
dāng nián de huà yǔ ， yě qí chà yī zhe ， suī rán hěn jiē jìn dào zǔ ， dàn dào dǐ hái shì chà le yī bù 。
当年的化羽，也棋差一着，虽然很接近道祖，但到底还是差了一步。
Those who kill must also be prepared to die. Now it was ensnared in the most terrifying vortex.
tián xiāng jū rán qiáng dào rú cǐ chéng dù ？
田襄居然强到如此程度？
With nowhere to run or hide, it was ultimately devoured by that devastating force. Golden blood splattered across the sky as Phoenix’s massive body disintegrated.
fèng huáng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì hài rán 。
凤凰的脸上满是骇然。
Fallen!
rán ér shì dào rú jīn què méi yǒu bàn fǎ duǒ shǎn ， xū kōng dōu yǐ jīng bēng luò ， kōng jiān fǎ zé zì rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ cóng zhè lǐ táo tuō 。
然而事到如今却没有办法躲闪，虚空都已经崩落，空间法则自然没有办法从这里逃脱。
"Hmph, the king of all birds is nothing more than this."
shā rén zhě yì yào yǒu bèi shā de jué wù ， rú jīn tā yǐ jīng shēn chù zuì kě pà de xuán wō 。
杀人者亦要有被杀的觉悟，如今它已经身处最可怕的漩涡。
Tian Xiang wore a look of disdain on his face and turned his gaze towards the Peacock God Temple in the distance.
wú chǔ kě táo ， wú chǔ kě duǒ 。
无处可逃，无处可躲。
Yuan Yuan was still fusing the final true spirit flames, unaware that terrible dangers had already enveloped her.
zuì zhōng bèi nà kě pà de huǐ miè zhī lì tūn mò ， tiān kōng zhōng huī sǎ zhe jīn sè de xuè zhū ， fèng huáng páng dà de shēn tǐ ， yǐ jīng tǔ bēng wǎ jiě diào le 。
最终被那可怕的毁灭之力吞没，天空中挥洒着金色的血珠，凤凰庞大的身体，已经土崩瓦解掉了。
The shadow fell, and fierce winds raged. How could she face this supreme demon?
“ hēng ， bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ， yě bù guò rú cǐ bà le 。”
“哼，百鸟之王，也不过如此罢了。”
Lin Xuan didn't know any of this. At this moment, he was far away in the Kingdom of Azure Deer, listening to Fairy Rain Teng recount ancient secrets. There were too many unbelievable things.
tián xiāng de liǎn shàng dài zhe bù xiè zhī sè ， tā de mù guāng ， zài yí cì tóu xiàng yuǎn chù de kǒng què shén diàn qù le 。
田襄的脸上带着不屑之色，他的目光，再一次投向远处的孔雀神殿去了。
It turned out that immortality beyond late-stage realm was just an illusion. But what interested Lin Xuan more was the complex relationship between Hua Yu and the Arhath King.
yuàn yuàn yī jiù zài róng hé zuì hòu de zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， sī háo bù zhī dào kě pà de wēi xiǎn ， yǐ jīng jiāng zhè yī piàn lǒng zhào zhù 。
媛媛依旧在融合最后的真灵之火，丝毫不知道可怕的危险，已经将这一片笼罩住。
His voice echoed through the hall with disbelief: "How is this possible? After such a battle, the spirit world was already drenched in blood, and true immortals had fallen. It's said that truth can't be hidden by paper; how could the Arhath King not have heard about it?"
yīn yǐng tóu shè xià lái ， kuáng fēng nù juǎn ， tā gāi rú hé miàn duì zhè jué shì xiōng mó ？
阴影投射下来，狂风怒卷，她该如何面对这绝世凶魔？
It wasn’t surprising Lin Xuan was shocked. This didn’t make sense on any level.
……
……
The expressions of Nai Long Immortal, Great Whale King, and others were similar—everyone looked bewildered, hoping to find an answer from Fairy Rain Teng... (To be continued...)
...
The cold voice entered his ears, and the chaotic aura of chaos beasts, ignited by the storm, roamed wildly in the void.
Compared to the gale force winds, it was even more chilling.
The void was sliced into fragmented pieces.
However, this was just the beginning; it wasn't Phoenix's attack yet.
