A sharp crack echoed in the air, as if the entire world had been pierced by an arrow.
jiān ruì de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
尖锐的破空声传入耳朵。
Tian Xiang's expression changed dramatically. He almost gritted his teeth and shouted out a few words:
zhè yī jiàn zhī wēi fǎng fú néng gòu jiāng zhěng gè tiān dì dōu cì pò 。
这一箭之威仿佛能够将整个天地都刺破。
"Arhura!"
tián xiāng de liǎn sè yì shì biàn le 。
田襄的脸色亦是变了。
The worst-case scenario had come to pass. The brilliant Arhura King had risen from the dead at just the right moment—when Tian Xiang was about to deal Lin Xuan a fatal blow.
tā jī hū shì yǎo zhe yá chǐ bèng chū jǐ gè zì ：
他几乎是咬着牙齿蹦出几个字：
How could this happen? How did the Arhura King just happen to arrive at such an opportune time?
“ ā xiū luó ！”
“阿修罗！”
What should he do now? He had two choices.
zuì dān xīn de shì qíng hái shì fā shēng le 。
最担心的事情还是发生了。
One, ignore it and continue to put Lin Xuan in mortal danger. If he made up his mind to do so, even the Arhura King could not stop him.
nà wèi jīng cái jué yàn de ā xiū luó wáng yǐ jīng fù huó 。
那位惊才绝艳的阿修罗王已经复活。
But the price of doing that would be his life—either killed on the spot by the Arhura King or grievously injured to the point where he might never recover.
ér qiě shí jī qià dào hǎo chù ， zhèng shì zì jǐ yào jiāng lín xuān zhì yú sǐ dì de shí kè 。
而且时机恰到好处，正是自己要将林轩置于死地的时刻。
And the other party wouldn't give up. His fate was likely still sealed.
kě wù ！
可恶！
In short, it amounted to a fight to the death with Lin Xuan.
tián xiāng kuài yào bèi qì fēng le 。
田襄快要被气疯了。
Tian Xiang would not do that. Although he feared Hua Yu and wished him gone from this world, he would never consider sacrificing his own life for such a purpose.
zěn me huì yǒu zhè yàng de qiǎo hé ？
怎么会有这样的巧合？
That would be like eating too much food and getting bloated.
ā xiū luó wáng piān piān jiù zài zhè ge shí hòu gǎn lái le ？
阿修罗王偏偏就在这个时候赶来了？
Tian Xiang was indeed cunning and treacherous, but he was also terrified of death.
zěn me bàn ？
怎么办？
He wouldn't do something so foolish as to trade lives.
tā xiàn zài yǒu liǎng gè xuǎn zé 。
他现在有两个选择。
So the only remaining option was to let this perfect opportunity pass.
yào me shì ruò wú dǔ ， jì xù zhì lín xuān yú sǐ dì 。
要么视若无睹，继续置林轩于死地。
With that, he had enough time to avoid the Arhura King's ultimate attack.
zhǐ yào shì tā xià dìng jué xīn zhè me zuò ， jiù suàn shì ā xiū luó wáng yī yàng wú fǎ zǔ zhǐ de 。
只要是他下定决心这么做，就算是阿修罗王一样无法阻止的。
His mind made up, Tian Xiang made what he believed to be a very wise choice and disappeared from his original position in an instant.
kě zhè yàng zuò suǒ xū yào fù chū de dài jià ， què shì tā bèi ā xiū luó wáng dāng chǎng jī shā 。
可这样做所需要付出的代价，却是他被阿修罗王当场击杀。
The next moment, he appeared ten meters to the left of his previous location.
jí biàn néng gòu jiāng xiǎo mìng táo tuō ， kǒng pà yě huì shāng zhòng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de chéng dù 。
即便能够将小命逃脱，恐怕也会伤重到无以复加的程度。
However, what happened next froze Tian Xiang’s face with cold fury.
ér duì fāng bú huì yǒu bà shǒu yī shuō ， zì jǐ de jié guǒ ， duō bàn yī jiù shì yǔn luò 。
而对方不会有罢手一说，自己的结果，多半依旧是陨落。
Sizzle...
huàn jù huà shuō ， jiù shì yǐ mìng xiàng bó ， chà bu duō suàn shì yǔ lín xuān tóng guī yú jìn diào le 。
换句话说，就是以命相搏，差不多算是与林轩同归于尽掉了。
That black ray did not stop at this. It turned sharply and shot towards him again with immense force, determined to achieve its goal no matter what.
tián xiāng dāng rán bú huì zhè me zuò ， suī rán tā jì dàn huà yǔ ， hèn bù dé lì kè jiāng tā cóng shì shàng mǒ qù ， dàn yào fù chū zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér wèi dài jià ， zé shì jué bú huì kǎo lǜ de xuǎn zé 。
田襄当然不会这么做，虽然他忌惮化羽，恨不得立刻将他从世上抹去，但要付出自己的小命儿为代价，则是绝不会考虑的选择。
"Die!"
nà yàng qǐ bù shì chī bǎo le chēng de ？
那样岂不是吃饱了撑的？
Tian Xiang was enraged. Was the Arhura King so formidable? Even if he was a genius, how could he defy Tian Xiang, who was the Sage Ancestor?
tián xiāng yīn xiǎn jiǎo zhà méi cuò ， dàn yě jué duì shì tān shēng pà sǐ de 。
田襄阴险狡诈没错，但也绝对是贪生怕死的。
He lunged forward, his body turning into a golden light that charged towards the black ray.
yǐ mìng huàn mìng zhè yàng de shǎ shì cái bú huì qù zuò 。
以命换命这样的傻事才不会去做。
Boom!
nà me jiù zhǐ shèng xià lìng yí gè xuǎn zé 。
那么就只剩下另一个选择。
The entire world trembled as the ground cracked and countless fissures appeared in the sky. Clearly, this space couldn't withstand it anymore; the core of the boundary had been damaged.
jiāng yǎn qián zhè jué hǎo de jī huì fàng guò 。
将眼前这绝好的机会放过。
But this was far from over. The golden light and black ray continued to tear at each other.
rú cǐ tā yě jiù yǒu chōng yù de shí jiān duǒ guò ā xiū luó wáng de jué shā le 。
如此他也就有充裕的时间躲过阿修罗王的绝杀了。
After separating for a moment, they collided again with great force.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， tián xiāng zuò chū le tā zì rèn wéi shí fēn zhèng què de xuǎn zé 。
脑海中念头转过，田襄做出了他自认为十分正确的选择。
"Bang bang bang..."
lái bù jí jiāng lín xuān miè chú ， shēn xíng yí gè mó hú ， jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
来不及将林轩灭除，身形一个模糊，就从原地消失不见了。
The deafening sounds echoed in his ears, causing countless rocks and earth to be shattered while more cracks appeared in the sky that could not heal themselves.
xià yī kè ， chū xiàn zài le tián xiāng zuǒ cè shí yú zhàng zhī chù 。
下一刻，出现在了田襄左侧十余丈之处。
The laws of this plane had been destroyed.
tián xiāng zì rèn wéi yǐ jīng tuì ràng le yī bù ， rán ér jiē xià lái suǒ fā shēng de yí mù 。 què ràng tā de liǎn sè ， bīng lěng dào wú yǐ fù jiā le 。
田襄自认为已经退让了一步，然而接下来所发生的一幕。却让他的脸色，冰冷到无以复加了。
Both combatants were using forces at an even higher level.
nà lǚ hēi máng bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jiù jiāng tā fàng guò ， sī háo tíng xiē yě wú 。 yí gè zhuǎn wān ， jì xù xiàng tā jī shè ér lái le 。
那缕黑芒并没有因此就将他放过，丝毫停歇也无。一个转弯，继续像他激射而来了。
Another thunderous sound rang out. Just a moment ago, the golden light and black ray had been nine thousand feet above them, but now they collided deep underground.
qiáng shì yǐ jí 。 dà yǒu bù dá mù dì ， shì bù bà xiū zhī yì 。
强势以极。大有不达目的，誓不罢休之意。
The entire space shook violently. The area that was just leveled by that terrifying attack was now filled with massive cracks like a spider web spreading in all directions.
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
At the center of these cracks lay a gaping hole over a hundred meters wide, descending into darkness.
tián xiāng què shì bó rán dà nù 。
田襄却是勃然大怒。
The golden light and black ray fell to this ground like meteors.
ā xiū luó wáng hěn liǎo bù qǐ me ， jiù suàn nǐ jīng cái jué yàn yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ kě shì dào zǔ 。
阿修罗王很了不起么，就算你惊才绝艳又如何，自己可是道祖。
A terrible storm erupted, its power rivaling or even surpassing that of a planet exploding. Several alien great powers were caught off guard and sucked in by the force.
jū rán hái gǎn bù yī bù ráo qǐ lái le 。
居然还敢不依不饶起来了。
Cries of pain filled his ears as not only their bodies exploded into bloody mist but also their essence cores failed to escape. This was just the aftermath of the battle.
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
The Arhura King truly wasn't ordinary.
zhè yī cì ， tā shì dòng le zhēn huǒ ， hún shēn lüè yī mó hú ， huà wèi yī dào jīn guāng xiàng nà lǚ hēi máng pū guò qù le 。
这一次，他是动了真火，浑身略一模糊，化为一道金光像那缕黑芒扑过去了。
So far, no one had been able to stand up to Tian Xiang head-on in a one-to-one confrontation.
hōng rán xiāng zhuàng ！
轰然相撞！
Lin Xuan lay on the ground, his bones shattered and barely able to move. His eyes glinted with complex emotions—both excitement and worry.
zhěng gè tiān dì dōu zài zhèn dàng 。
整个天地都在震荡。
In the depths of his heart, there was an uncertain feeling. Although they shared a bond from two lifetimes, could she still be intimate with him now?
dà dì jūn liè ， xū kōng zhōng yì yǒu wú shù de liè hén fú xiàn ér chū 。 xiǎn rán ， zhè chù kōng jiān yǐ jīng chéng shòu bú zhù ， jiè miàn de hé xīn yǐ shòu dào pò huài le 。
大地龟裂，虚空中亦有无数的裂痕浮现而出。显然，这处空间已经承受不住，界面的核心已受到破坏了。
He was deeply anxious about her safety. Tian Xiang's strength was well-known to Lin Xuan, and he had witnessed the power of the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book in action. Even though the Arhura King was formidable, facing him one-on-one was too worrying.
ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù ， jīn guāng hēi máng hái zài hù xiāng sī chě 。
而这还没有结束，金光黑芒还在互相撕扯。
Unfortunately, there was nothing Lin Xuan could do at this moment. He couldn't even protect himself; he could only lie on the ground, anxiously waiting for fate to take its course.
shāo yī fēn kāi zhī hòu ， yòu hěn hěn xiāng zhuàng 。
稍一分开之后，又狠狠相撞。
Lin Xuan felt utterly helpless.
“ pēng pēng pēng ……”
“嘭嘭嘭……”
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed in his ears, followed by an intense heat that filled the air. A fiery pit suddenly erupted with molten rock, not fire but lava gushing out.
jù xiǎng shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dài lái cuī kū lā xiǔ de xiào guǒ ， xiān qǐ tǔ shí wú shù ， ér xū kōng zhōng de liè hén yě yuè lái yuè duō ， qiě wú fǎ huī fù 。
巨响声不停的传入耳朵，带来摧枯拉朽的效果，掀起土石无数，而虚空中的裂痕也越来越多，且无法恢复。
The lava formed a gigantic pillar over a hundred meters wide, shooting into the sky with tremendous force.
zhè yī jiè miàn de fǎ zé yǐ bèi pò huài diào le 。
这一界面的法则已被破坏掉了。
No... this wasn't ordinary lava; it was煞火 (sha fire), a terrifying inferno.
xiāng dòu de liǎng rén suǒ yì shǐ de dōu shì gèng gāo céng cì de lì liàng 。
相斗的两人所役使的都是更高层次的力量。
A late-stage渡劫 (dug jie) powerhouse had been sucked in and reduced to ashes.
hōng ！
轰！
Others were alarmed and scattered. But within that terrifying sha fire, rumbling sounds continued to echo.
yòu shì yī shēng jù xiǎng ， qián yī kè 。 jīn guāng hēi máng ， míng míng hái zài jiǔ tiān zhī shàng ， rú jīn 。 jū rán yòu zhuàng rù le dì dǐ shēn chù 。
又是一声巨响，前一刻。金光黑芒，明明还在九天之上，如今。居然又撞入了地底深处。
The golden light and black aura still fought fiercely inside the giant pillar of flame.
yī shí jiān ， zhěng gè kōng jiān zhèn dàng bù yǐ ， yuán běn ， zhè fāng yuán wàn lǐ ， gāng gāng jiù yǐ bèi nà kě pà de gōng jī yí wèi le píng dì 。
一时间，整个空间震荡不已，原本，这方圆万里，刚刚就已被那可怕的攻击夷为了平地。
Despite its ferocity, the sha fire couldn't affect them; it was ignored completely.
cǐ kè ， gèng shì píng kōng chū xiàn le yī dào yī dào jù dà de fèng xì ， rú tóng zhū wǎng yì bān ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu yán zhǎn 。
此刻，更是凭空出现了一道一道巨大的缝隙，如同蛛网一般，向着四周延展。
Boom!
ér zài nà fèng xì de zhōng jiān ， zé shì yì zhí jìng bǎi yú zhàng de dà dòng 。 shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
而在那缝隙的中间，则是一直径百余丈的大洞。深不见底。
Another deafening sound echoed through the sky, causing everything within a ten-thousand-meter radius to shatter. The alien great powers raised their defensive talismans as the terrifying shockwave swept away the storm in the starry sky.
jīn guāng hēi máng ， jiù rú tóng liú xīng yǔn luò bān de zhuì yú cǐ dì 。
金光黑芒，就如同流星陨落般的坠于此地。
Even late-stage渡劫 (dug jie) powerhouses couldn't ignore it and began using their abilities for self-preservation.
kě pà de fēng bào píng kōng ér qǐ 。 lùn wēi lì ， jū rán bìng bù bǐ xīng qiú bào zhà xùn sè 。 shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng guò ， shù míng yì zú dà néng duǒ shǎn bù jí ， bèi juǎn le jìn qù 。
可怕的风暴凭空而起。论威力，居然并不比星球爆炸逊色。甚至尤有胜过，数名异族大能躲闪不及，被卷了进去。
With this sound, the golden light and black aura stopped fighting and separated.
cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā men bù jǐn ròu shēn bào chéng le yī tuán xuè wù ， yuán yīng tóng yàng méi yǒu táo tuō ， ér zhè bù guò shì liǎng rén zhàn dòu de yú bō 。
惨叫声传入耳朵，他们不仅肉身爆成了一团血雾，元婴同样没有逃脱，而这不过是两人战斗的余波。
The golden light condensed to reveal Tian Xiang's face.
ā xiū luó wáng guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
阿修罗王果然非同小可。
His expression was icy, his body exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.
dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， hái méi yǒu rén ， néng yī duì yī ， yǔ tián xiāng zhèng miàn kàng héng guò 。
到目前为止，还没有人，能一对一，与田襄正面抗衡过。
"Arhura," he growled through clenched teeth.
lín xuān tǎng zài dì shàng ， hún shēn gǔ gé jǐn suì de tā ， jī hū yǐ dòng tán bù dé ， yǎn zhōng què yǒu guāng máng shǎn shuò ， xīn qíng fù zá yǐ jí 。
林轩躺在地上，浑身骨骼尽碎的他，几乎已动弹不得，眼中却有光芒闪烁，心情复杂以极。
But there was also fear in his voice. That hateful woman seemed to have advanced significantly compared to ancient times.
jì yǒu xiē jī dòng ， tóng shí dān xīn yě shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
既有些激动，同时担心也是难以言喻。
What happened? She had been reborn and her current power was negligible, yet by fusing the memories from both lifetimes, she had made a sudden leap in strength?
míng míng zhōng zì yǒu tiān yì ， yuè ér zhōng yú huī fù le qián shì de shí lì yǔ jì yì 。
冥冥中自有天意，月儿终于恢复了前世的实力与记忆。
Could all of this be part of her original plan?
chéng wéi ā xiū luó wáng de tā fēng huá jué dài ， kě lín xuān què zǒng yǒu yī zhǒng mò shēng gǎn ， suī rán liǎng shì qíng yuán ， kě rú jīn de tā shì fǒu hái néng yǔ zì jǐ qīn mì wú jiàn ？
成为阿修罗王的他风华绝代，可林轩却总有一种陌生感，虽然两世情缘，可如今的她是否还能与自己亲密无间？
Tian Xiang pondered these thoughts as his face grew increasingly ugly. (To be continued)
A sharp crack echoed in the air, as if the entire world had been pierced by an arrow.
Tian Xiang's expression changed dramatically. He almost gritted his teeth and shouted out a few words:
"Arhura!"
The worst-case scenario had come to pass. The brilliant Arhura King had risen from the dead at just the right moment—when Tian Xiang was about to deal Lin Xuan a fatal blow.
