mó yīng gǎn jué shí hǎi yī téng ， fǎng fú bèi rén yòng jiān zhuī hěn hěn zhā le yī xià ， yǔ mó yán de xīn shén lián xì yě biàn dé ruò yǒu ruò wú 。
魔婴感觉识海一疼，仿佛被人用尖锥狠狠扎了一下，与魔炎的心神联系也变得若有若无。
The demon infant felt a sharp pain in its识海, as if pricked by a pointed object. Its connection with the demonic flame's consciousness also became faint.
zhè yī xià ， tā bù yóu de liǎn sè dà biàn ， máng hēi máng yī shǎn ， chóng xīn mò rù le lín xuān de tóu dǐng lǐ miàn 。
这一下，他不由得脸色大变，忙黑芒一闪，重新没入了林轩的头顶里面。
This sudden sensation caused Lin Xuan's expression to change dramatically. He quickly flashed black light and re-entered his head.
lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， biǎo qíng fēi cháng níng zhòng ， èr huà bù shuō de shuāng shǒu yī qiā ， nà xiǎo niǎo pīn mìng zhēng zhá ， bì huàn yōu huǒ kě shì zì jǐ huā liǎo wú shù xīn xuè ， lín xuān zì rán bù xiǎng ràng pāo bèi jìn zhì zhōng de huǒ líng lì gěi tóng huà …
林轩睁开双眸，表情非常凝重，二话不说的双手一掐，那小鸟拼命挣扎，碧幻幽火可是自己花了无数心血，林轩自然不想让抛被禁制中的火灵力给同化…
Lin Xuan opened his eyes, looking very serious. Without hesitation, he formed hand seals. The little bird struggled desperately, but the Green Illusion Fiery Flame was something he had spent countless efforts on; naturally, Lin Xuan didn't want it to be absorbed by the demon's restricted power...
rán ér yòng chǔ sì hū bù dà ！
然而用处似乎不大！
However, this effort seemed futile!
jìn zhì yí dàn bèi chù fā ， fǎn pū de lì liàng yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le lín xuān xiǎng xiàng ， tā shuāng shǒu fǎ jué biàn huàn bù yǐ ， kě mó yán yī jiù wú fǎ cóng bāo wéi zhōng chōng chū qù 。
禁制一旦被触发，反扑的力量远远超过了林轩想象，他双手法诀变幻不已，可魔炎依旧无法从包围中冲出去。
Once the restriction was triggered, the counterattack far exceeded what Lin Xuan imagined. Despite his rapid changes in hand seals, the demonic flame still couldn't break free from its confinement.
lín xuān de biǎo qíng yuè fā jiāo jí 。
林轩的表情越发焦急。
Lin Xuan's expression grew more anxious.
bái guāng yī shǎn ， yī wèi měi mào de shào nǚ chū xiàn zài le yǔ qián 。
白光一闪，一位美貌的少女出现在了雨前。
A flash of white light appeared, and a beautiful young girl stood before Rainfront.
“ yuè ér ， chēng bié léi shǒu 。”
“月儿，称别擂手。”
"Little Moon, don't rush," Lin Xuan stopped Little Yaya's impulsive actions. Although her intentions were good, her cultivation was too low; random attacks would only harm herself.
lín xuān zǔ zhǐ le xiǎo yā yì de chǔn chǔn yù dòng ， suī rán yuè ér shì hǎo yì ， bù guò tā de xiū wèi tài dī ， hú luàn chū shǒu zhǐ huì shāng dào zì jǐ 。
林轩阻止了小丫义的蠢蠢欲动，虽然月儿是好意，不过她的修为太低，胡乱出手只会伤到自己。
However, this girl's movements reminded Lin Xuan to send his mental command to the Corpse Demon standing beside him.
bù guò zhè yā tou de dòng zuò ， yě tí xǐng le lín xuān ， tā chōng zhàn zài yī páng de shī mó fā chū shén niàn 。
不过这丫头的动作，也提醒了林轩，他冲站在一旁的尸魔发出神念。
The corporeal body lacked consciousness and didn't fear anything. Upon receiving its master's instruction, it took a big step forward, red light flashing in its eyes as bone marrow crackled loudly.
liàn shī méi yǒu shén zhì ， zì rán bú huì wèi jù shén me ， jiē dào zhǔ rén de zhǐ lìng ， lì kè dà tà bù tǔ qián ， yǎn zhōng hóng máng yī shǎn ， gǔ suǐ pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng qǐ lái 。
炼尸没有神智，自然不会畏惧什么，接到主人的指令，立刻大踏步土前，眼中红芒一闪，骨髓噼里啪啦的爆响起来。
Its nails elongated, grayish-white corpse fire flickered around them, then it thrust both sharp claws into the brilliant red light before it.
zhǐ jiǎ shēn cháng ， yī céng huī bái sè de shī huǒ fú rán qí tǔ ， rán hòu xī jiāng liǎng zhǐ lì zhuǎ ， hěn hěn de chā xiàng le shēn qián yào mù de hóng guāng 。
指甲伸长，一层灰白色的尸火浮燃其土，然后牺将两只利爪，狠狠的插像了身前耀目的红光。
Splat! Under external force, the protective barrier immediately sent fiery essence power surging towards the Corpse Demon's claws. This reduced the pressure on the Green Illusion Fiery Flame significantly. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan opened his mouth and spat out a stream of essence qi. The little bird absorbed it and flapped its wings fiercely, finally breaking free from the confinement.
lá la ，， shòu dào wài lì de gōng jī ， hù zhào zhōng de huǒ líng lì dùn shí fēng kuáng de xiàng zhe shī mó de lì zhuǎ yǒng qù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， bì huàn yōu huǒ nà biān de yā lì dùn shí dà wèi jiǎn ruò ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， zhāng zuǐ pēn chū yī kǒu jīng qì ，… xiǎo niǎo xī shōu yǐ hòu ， hěn mìng de shàn le shàn chì bǎng ， zhōng yú cóng jìn gù zhōng zhèng tuō le chū qù 。
剌啦，，受到外力的攻击，护罩中的火灵力顿时疯狂的向着尸魔的利爪涌去，如此一来，碧幻幽火那边的压力顿时大为减弱，林轩二话不说，张嘴喷出一口精气，…小鸟吸收以后，狠命的扇了扇翅膀，终于从禁锢中挣脱了出去。
Phew! Lin Xuan let out a deep breath in relief.
hū ， lín xuān dà dà de sōng le kǒu qì 。
呼，林轩大大的松了口气。
How dangerous! The ancient black mamba's restriction was indeed formidable; not only did he fail to break it, but he almost lost his carefully crafted demonic flame. The Green Illusion Fiery Flame re-entered Lin Xuan's palm, and the Corpse Demon roared with pain as its flames began to spread wildly down its arm.
hǎo xiǎn ， tǔ gǔ jìn zhì guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì jǐ bù jǐn méi néng pò chú ， hái chà diǎn jiāng kǔ xīn liàn zhì de mó yán nòng diū le èr bì huàn yōu huǒ chóng xīn mò rù lín xuān de zhǎng zhōng ， ér shī mó yě fā chū yī shēng dà hǒu ， háo jiào zhōng chōng mǎn le tòng kǔ ， jiù zhè me duǎn duǎn de yī huì er ， shī huǒ jìng rán yǐ bèi jī sàn ， hóng sè de huǒ yàn shùn zhe xī de shǒu bì ， kāi shǐ fēng kuáng de xiàng gōng màn yán 。
好险，土古禁制果然非同小可，自己不仅没能破除，还差点将苦心炼制的魔炎弄丢了二碧幻幽火重新没入林轩的掌中，而尸魔也发出一声大吼，嚎叫中充满了痛苦，就这么短短的一会儿，尸火竟然已被击散，红色的火焰顺着牺的手臂，开始疯狂的向工蔓延。
Lin Xuan's expression changed, but at this moment, there was no time for hesitation. While the Green Illusion Fiery Flame was crucial, he didn't want to destroy his hard-won corporeal body here either.
lín xuān liǎn sè yī biàn èr dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ róng bù dé tā chí yí ， bì huàn yōu huǒ gù rán zhòng yào wú bǐ ， dàn hǎo bù róng yì liàn zhì de shī mó lín xuān yě bù xiǎng huǐ zài zhè lǐ 。
林轩脸色一变二但此时此刻，已容不得他迟疑，碧幻幽火固然重要无比，但好不容易炼制的尸魔林轩也不想毁在这里。
He flicked his sleeves and shot out two streaks of green sword energy, which circled around the Corpse Demon's small arms. He sacrificed one arm to save the other; although it cut off its two arms, it also allowed it to escape from the flames.
xiù páo yī fú ， fēi chū le liǎng dào qīng sè de jiàn qì ， qīng guāng yī shǎn ， wéi zhe shī mó de liǎng zhǐ xiǎo bì rào le yī quān ， qì zhāng bǎo chē ， suī rán qiē duàn le shī mó de liǎng zhǐ shǒu bì ， dàn yě ràng tā cóng huǒ yàn zhōng zhèng tuō le chū qù 。
袖袍一拂，飞出了两道清色的剑气，青光一闪，围着尸魔的两只小臂绕了一圈，弃章保车，虽然切断了尸魔的两只手臂，但也让他从火焰中挣脱了出去。
After all, this was a corporeal body crafted by Lin Xuan; minor injuries were nothing. With some days of cultivation, new limbs would naturally grow back. Lin Xuan put the Corpse Demon in his spirit ghost bag but looked extremely displeased.
fǎn zhèng zhè dōng xī shì liàn shī ， xiē xǔ xiǎo shāng bù zhí yī tí ， zhǐ xiāo jì liàn shù rì ， zì rán néng gòu chóng xīn jiē shàng xīn de shǒu bì èr lín xuān jiāng shī mó shōu qìn líng guǐ dài lǐ ， rán ér biǎo qíng què nán kàn wú bǐ 。
反正这东西是炼尸，些许小伤不值一提，只消祭炼数日，自然能够重新接上新的手臂二林轩将尸魔收沁灵鬼袋里，然而表情却难看无比。
Could he really not break through this restriction?
nán dào zì jǐ zhēn de wú fǎ pò chú cǐ jìn zhì ？
难道自己真的无法破除此禁制？
Lin Xuan wasn't greedy for the treasures in the ancient phoenix cave, but the fire vein was something he had to obtain.
lín xuān bìng bù tān tú qí lín gǔ dòng zhōng de bǎo wù ， rán ér huǒ mài què shì yí dìng yào de dào de 。
林轩并不贪图麒麟古洞中的宝物，然而火脉却是一定要得到的。
A few setbacks were nothing; after all, he had faced many challenges and storms on his path as a cultivator.
xiē xǔ cuò zhé suàn shén me ， fǎn zhèng zì jǐ tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jiù shì zhè me kē kē pèng pèng ， lì jīng fēng yǔ zǒu guò lái de 。
些许挫折算什么，反正自己踏上修仙之路，就是这么磕磕碰碰，历经风雨走过来的。
Lin Xuan wasn't discouraged. His personality was very stubborn; once he set his mind on something, he wouldn't stop until it was done.
lín xuān bìng bù ào nǎo ， tā de xìng gé fēi cháng zhí niù ， rèn zhǔn le yī jiàn shì qíng ， bù zuò dào ， jué bù gàn xiū 。
林轩并不懊恼，他的性格非常执拗，认准了一件事情，不做到，绝不干休。
He took out the Ice Needle Technique again and sank his divine awareness into the restriction. Although there were no explicit mentions of this in front of him, as they say, a stone from another mountain can polish jade. Lin Xuan hoped to gain some inspiration from it.
lín xuān zài cì qǔ chū le wēi jī xīn dé ， jiāng shén shí chén rù suī shuō yǎn qián de jìn zhì lǐ miàn bìng méi yǒu tí ， dàn sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， tā shān zhī shí kě yǐ gōng yù ， lín xuān xī wàng kě yǐ cóng lǐ miàn dé dào yì diǎn qǐ dí 。
林轩再次取出了微饥心得，将神识沉入虽说眼前的禁制里面并没有提，但俗话说得好，他山之石可以攻玉，林轩希望可以从里面得到一点启迪。
After staring for several hours, Lin Xuan finally raised his head tiredly, his brows furrowed, still without any clue.
zhè yī kàn jiù shì shù gè shí chén zhī jiǔ 。
这一看就是数个时辰之久。
"Master, don't worry!" Little Moon's gentle voice entered his ears, filled with comfort.
zhōng yú lín xuān yǒu xiē pí juàn de tái qǐ tóu ， shuāng méi jǐn zhòu ， yī jiù yì diǎn tóu xù yě méi yǒu 。
终于林轩有些疲倦的抬起头，双眉紧皱，依旧一点头绪也没有。
Lin Xuan sighed; maybe if he could command a treasure, there would be some hope.
“ shào yé ， nǐ bié jí ！” yuè ér qīng róu de huà yǔ chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， bǎo hán ān wèi zhī yì 。
“少爷，你别急！”月儿轻柔的话语传入了耳朵里，饱含安慰之意。
He stretched out his hand and tapped the storage bracelet. Silver light flashed as two small rings circled above his head.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， rú guǒ néng gòu qū shǐ fǎ bǎo huò xǔ hái yǒu nà me yì diǎn diǎn xī wàng 。
林轩叹了口气，如果能够驱使法宝或许还有那么一点点希望。
"Eh..."
tā shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yín guāng yī shǎn ， liǎng gè xiǎo qiǎo de yuán huán pán xuán zài le tóu dǐng shàng miàn 。
他伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，银光一闪，两个小巧的圆环盘旋在了头顶上面。
Lin Xuan was stunned but then became extremely happy. He had only made an unintentional gesture, but it turned out to activate the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring.
“ è ，…”
“呃，…”
The joy was obvious; perhaps this ancient phoenix cave didn't reject treasures of the five elements?
lín xuān yī dāi ， suí jí biàn dé kuáng xǐ le qǐ lái ， yuán běn tā jǐn shì wú yì de dòng zuò ， méi xiǎng dào zhēn de jiāng jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán jì qǐ lái le 。
林轩一呆，随即变得狂喜了起来，原本他仅是无意的动作，没想到真的将九天明月环祭起来了。
This discovery wasn't mentioned in the black mamba lady's memories, so that witch wouldn't know either.
gāo xìng shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de ， mò fēi zài zhè qí lín gǔ dòng ， bìng bù jù jué wǔ xíng zhī bǎo ？
高兴是可想而知的，莫非在这麒麟古洞，并不拒绝五行之宝？
A hint of fire flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He still had confidence in the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring's power and immediately cast a hand seal, pouring his essence qi into it.
zhè ge fā xiàn zài hēi mǎng fū rén de jì yì zhōng kě méi yǒu tí dào ， bú yòng shuō ， nà yāo fù yě bù zhī xiǎo 。
这个发现在黑蟒夫人的记忆中可没有提到，不用说，那妖妇也不知晓。
Bright light surged as the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring alternated between cold and hot. Countless ice spears appeared in mid-air.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī huǒ rè ， duì yú jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán de wēi lì tā hái shì pǒ yǒu xìn xīn de ， dāng jí yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， hún shēn de líng lì kuáng zhù ér rù 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝火热，对于九天明月环的威力他还是颇有信心的，当即一道法诀打出，浑身的灵力狂注而入。
These spears varied in length but were all extremely sharp.
yào mù de líng guāng dà qǐ ， jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán gōng lěng rè jiāo tì ， wú shù bīng zhuī chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng lǐ 。
耀目的灵光大起，九天明月环工冷热交替，无数冰锥出现在了半空里。
Lin Xuan pointed at them,
nà xiē bīng zhuī cháng duǎn bù yī ， dàn dōu jiān ruì wú bǐ 。
那些冰锥长短不一，但都尖锐无比。
"Quick!"
lín xuān yī zhǐ diǎn qù ，
林轩一指点去，
A fresh red flame ignited on the surface of each ice spear. Who said water and fire couldn't coexist? The叠加 of opposite attributes produced terrifying effects.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan didn't hold back, casting several more hand seals. The number of ice spears increased, filling the nearby airspace.
hū de yī xià ， xiān hóng de huǒ yàn zài bīng zhuī biǎo miàn rán qǐ ， shuí shuō shuǐ huǒ bù róng ， liǎng zhǒng xiāng fǎn shǔ xìng de líng lì dié jiā gèng néng chǎn shēng kě pà de xiào guǒ 。
呼的一下，鲜红的火焰在冰锥表面燃起，谁说水火不容，两种相反属性的灵力叠加更能产生可怕的效果。
Even with his strong divine awareness, Lin Xuan found it difficult at this moment. He waved his hand downward, and as he did so, these ice spears shot out in beautiful arcs toward the barrier.
lín xuān zhè huí kě shì méi yǒu bǎo liú ， yī lián yòu shì shù dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， bīng zhuī de shù liàng yuè lái yuè duō ， jiāng fù jìn de kōng wén dōu tián mǎn le 。
林轩这回可是没有保留，一连又是数道法诀打出，冰锥的数量越来越多，将附近的空闻都填满了。
This was a full-strength attack after much preparation; even an old monster at late婴中期 would dare not to face it head-on.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān shén shí zhī qiáng ， cǐ kè yě yǒu xiē chī lì ， dāng jí shǒu xiàng xià huī qù ， ér suí zhe tā zhè ge dòng zuò ， nà cǐ bīng zhuī yě huà chū yī tiáo tiáo měi lì de hú xiàn ， xiàng qián bào shè kāi le 。
即便以林轩神识之强，此刻也有些吃力，当即手向下挥去，而随着他这个动作，那此冰锥也划出一条条美丽的弧线，向前爆射开了。
As the piercing sound of breaking air came, the red protective barrier seemed to become more vibrant like a sentient being.
zhè kě shì lín xuān yùn niàng liáng jiǔ zhī hòu de quán lì yī jī ， xiāng xìn biàn shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě jué bù gǎn yìng jiē de 。
这可是林轩酝酿良久之后的全力一击，相信便是元婴中期的老怪物，也绝不敢硬接的。
Puff! Puff!... The impact sounds continued.
suí zhe pò kōng zhī shēng chuán lái ， nà hóng sè de hù zhào jìng rán yě fǎng fú tōng líng bān ， biàn dé yuè fā de xiān yàn 。
随着破空之声传来，那红色的护罩竟然也仿佛通灵般，变得越发的鲜艳。
Under the relentless attack from thousands of ice spears, the barrier wavered but showed no signs of breaking. Little Moon grew restless and extended her delicate hand; a small demon banner appeared in her palm as she injected essence qi into it. A hundred or more beast souls flickered as the banner moved under her control.
pū ， pū ，…， jī dǎ de shēng yīn bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
噗，噗，…，击打的声音不停传入耳朵。
As Little Moon manipulated them, the beast souls opened their mouths and sprayed out light waves of different colors.
zài shù liàng duō dá tǔ qiān de bīng zhuī de kuáng jī zhī xià ， nà hù zhào yě xiǎn de fēng yǔ piāo yáo ， rán ér què sī háo méi yǒu bèi gōng pò de jì xiàng ， yuè ér yǒu xiē zuò bú zhù le ， xiǎo yā tou shēn chū qiàn shǒu ” xiǎo qiǎo de mó fān chū xiàn zài le zhǎng zhōng ， yuè ér jiāng líng lì zhù rù ， mó wù fān yǒng ， shòu hún yǐng yǐng chuò chuò shù liàng zú yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō 。
在数量多达土千的冰锥的狂击之下，那护罩也显得风雨飘摇，然而却丝毫没有被攻破的迹象，月儿有些坐不住了，小丫头伸出纤手”小巧的魔幡出现在了掌中，月儿将灵力注入，魔雾翻涌，兽魂影影绰绰数量足有近百之多。
Under Lin Xuan's attack, the barrier seemed weak, but these light waves still couldn't penetrate it.
suí zhe yuè ér de cāo kòng ， shòu hún zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， cóng zuǐ lǐ miàn pēn chū yán sè bù yī de guāng bō 。
随着月儿的操控，兽魂张开大口，从嘴里面喷出颜色不一的光波。
Continuing like this was futile.
zài lín xuān de gōng jī zhī xià ， hù zhào míng míng xiǎn de hěn bó ruò ， dàn zhè xiē guāng bō jī dǎ zài shàng miàn ， yī jiù wú fǎ jiāng pāo gōng pò 。
在林轩的攻击之下，护罩明明显得很薄弱，但这些光波击打在上面，依旧无法将抛攻破。
Lin Xuan sighed and finally gave up on his hopeless efforts. He had been too arrogant; now he believed in the black mamba lord's words.
zhè yàng xià qù ， yě shì tú láo de 。
这样下去，也是徒劳的。
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and took out several pills from his pocket, restoring his spent essence qi. He was prepared for long-term battles; this restriction wouldn't be broken easily.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， zhōng yú fàng qì le méi yǒu xī wàng de nǔ lì 。
林轩叹了口气，终于放弃了没有希望的努力。
Time passed quickly, and three days had already elapsed since Lin Xuan arrived at the ancient cave. During these few days, he tried various methods—treasure attacks, breaking array tools, and both orthodox and heretical secret techniques—but none worked.
zì jǐ hái shì tài zì dà le xiē ， rú jīn bù dé bù xiāng xìn hēi mǎng dà rén suǒ shuō de yán yǔ 。
自己还是太自大了些，如今不得不相信黑蟒大人所说的言语。
Although Lin Xuan's knowledge was extensive, he now felt like a donkey with no tricks left.
lín xuān lüè yī chí yí ， pán xī zuò le xià qù ， cóng huái zhōng mō chū jǐ lì dān yào tūn fú ， xiān jiāng sǔn hào de fǎ lì huī fù ， rú jīn tā yǐ yǒu cháng qī fèn zhàn de jué wù ， zhè jìn zhì bìng fēi yī zhāo yī xī kě yǐ pò chú 。
林轩略一迟疑，盘膝坐了下去，从怀中摸出几粒丹药吞服，先将损耗的法力恢复，如今他已有长期奋战的觉悟，这禁制并非一朝一夕可以破除。
"Master, what should we do?"
shí guāng yì guò ， zhuǎn yǎn lín xuān lái dào gǔ dòng yǐ jīng sān tiān le ， zhè jǐ rì ， tā zuò le gè zhǒng gè yàng de cháng shì ， fǎ bǎo gōng jī ， pò zhèn qì jù ， hái yǒu zhèng dào yǔ mó dào de gè zhǒng mì shù ， rán ér yī rì mò yǒu bàn diǎn yòng tú èr lín xuān suǒ xué yě suàn shì fēi cháng guǎng bó ， kě xiàn zài què yǒu yī zhǒng shù lǘ jì qióng de gǎn jué 。
时光易过，转眼林轩来到古洞已经三天了，这几日，他做了各种各样的尝试，法宝攻击，破阵器具，还有正道与魔道的各种秘术，然而依日没有半点用途二林轩所学也算是非常广博，可现在却有一种数驴技穷的感觉。
Little Moon was also anxious but couldn't come up with any ideas. This barrier was too strange; water wouldn't penetrate it, fire couldn't burn through it, and it was incredibly resilient. Little Moon suspected that only a late-stage cultivator could break it by brute force.
"Ah!"
The demon infant felt a sharp pain in its识海, as if pricked by a pointed object. Its connection with the demonic flame's consciousness also became faint.
This sudden sensation caused Lin Xuan's expression to change dramatically. He quickly flashed black light and re-entered his head.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes, looking very serious. Without hesitation, he formed hand seals. The little bird struggled desperately, but the Green Illusion Fiery Flame was something he had spent countless efforts on; naturally, Lin Xuan didn't want it to be absorbed by the demon's restricted power...
However, this effort seemed futile!
Once the restriction was triggered, the counterattack far exceeded what Lin Xuan imagined. Despite his rapid changes in hand seals, the demonic flame still couldn't break free from its confinement.
Lin Xuan's expression grew more anxious.
A flash of white light appeared, and a beautiful young girl stood before Rainfront.
"Little Moon, don't rush," Lin Xuan stopped Little Yaya's impulsive actions. Although her intentions were good, her cultivation was too low; random attacks would only harm herself.

As the piercing sound of breaking air came, the red protective barrier seemed to become more vibrant like a sentient being.
Puff! Puff!... The impact sounds continued.
Under the relentless attack from thousands of ice spears, the barrier wavered but showed no signs of breaking. Little Moon grew restless and extended her delicate hand; a small demon banner appeared in her palm as she injected essence qi into it. A hundred or more beast souls flickered as the banner moved under her control.
As Little Moon manipulated them, the beast souls opened their mouths and sprayed out light waves of different colors.
Under Lin Xuan's attack, the barrier seemed weak, but these light waves still couldn't penetrate it.
Continuing like this was futile.
Lin Xuan sighed and finally gave up on his hopeless efforts. He had been too arrogant; now he believed in the black mamba lord's words.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and took out several pills from his pocket, restoring his spent essence qi. He was prepared for long-term battles; this restriction wouldn't be broken easily.
Time passed quickly, and three days had already elapsed since Lin Xuan arrived at the ancient cave. During these few days, he tried various methods—treasure attacks, breaking array tools, and both orthodox and heretical secret techniques—but none worked.
Although Lin Xuan's knowledge was extensive, he now felt like a donkey with no tricks left.
"Master, what should we do?"
Little Moon was also anxious but couldn't come up with any ideas. This barrier was too strange; water wouldn't penetrate it, fire couldn't burn through it, and it was incredibly resilient. Little Moon suspected that only a late-stage cultivator could break it by brute force.
