雀双年合干胸前，十指层层打开。看卜去就有如莲花二。般，虽然是分出来的一小半气剑，但数量也足有两千，若是换一名元婴初期的修士，十有**挡不下来。
Qi Shuangnian pressed her hands together in front of her chest, and her fingers spread out layer by layer. It was as if she were a lotus flower unfolding its petals. Although it was only a small portion of the spirit sword, there were still two thousand of them. If another cultivator at the early婴灵期 stage tried to block this, they would likely fail.
rán ér hào tiān guǐ dì de shén tōng dàng zhēn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cóng tā shēn shàng mào chū lái de yīn fēng guǐ wù jìng xiàng shì wú qióng wú jìn shì de ， chù shǒu bèi qì jiàn huǐ qù ， zài guǐ wù de zhī chēng xià què yòu hěn kuài shēng chéng chū lái ，
然而昊天鬼帝的神通当真非同小可，从他身上冒出来的阴风鬼雾竟像是无穷无尽似的，触手被气剑毁去，在鬼雾的支撑下却又很快生成出来，
However, the power of Heavenly God Ghost Emperor’s abilities truly could not be underestimated. The dark wind and ghostly mist emanating from him seemed endless. As soon as a hand was destroyed by the spirit sword, it quickly regenerated under the support of the ghostly fog.
gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn è dú de xiào yì ， chèn zhe zhè ge gōng fu ， máng zhāng kāi tán kǒu ， yī dào bì lǜ sè de huǒ xiàn pēn chū 。
宫装女修松了口气，脸上露出几分恶毒的笑意，趁着这个功夫，忙张开檀口，一道碧绿色的火线喷出。
The palace-dressed female cultivator let out a sigh of relief, revealing an evil smile on her face. She took advantage of this moment to open her mouth and shoot out a green flame.
zhè shì tā kǔ xiū bǎi nián de yīng huǒ ， wēi lì zì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nà yù hé shàng de jìn zhì fú zhuàn ， dùn shí bèi huà wéi huī jìn le 。
这是她苦修百年的婴火，威力自是非同小可，那玉盒上的禁制符篆，顿时被化为灰烬了。
This was the baby fire she had cultivated for a hundred years, its power far from trivial. The prohibition seals on the jade box were instantly turned into ashes.
suí hòu tā qū zhǐ yī dàn ， hé gài bèi qīng qīng dǎ kāi 。
随后她屈指一弹，盒盖被轻轻打开。
Then she flicked her finger, opening the lid of the box gently.
yī quán tou dà xiǎo de yuán zhū lù le chū lái 。
一拳头大小的圆珠露了出来。
A round pearl about the size of a fist appeared.
bàn tòu míng ， kàn shàng qù jìng rán xiàng shì hǔ pò yì bān ， rán ér què yǒu lìng rén táng mù jié shé de xiōng shà zhī qì cóng lǐ miàn shì fàng chū lái 。
半透明，看上去竟然像是琥珀一般，然而却有令人膛目结舌的凶煞之气从里面释放出来。
It was semi-transparent and looked like amber, but it released an astonishingly fierce aura.
zhǐ jiàn zài nà yuán zhū lǐ miàn ， yǒu yī hún pò zhuàng de guài wù yóu dòng bù zhǐ ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo ， sì hū xiǎng yào chōng pò jìn zhì ，，
只见在那圆珠里面，有一魂魄状的怪物游动不止，张牙舞爪，似乎想要冲破禁制，，
Inside the sphere, a creature resembling a soul moved ceaselessly, with sharp teeth and claws, trying to break free from its restraints.
gōng zhuāng nǚ xiū cóng zuǐ lǐ tǔ chū yī lǚ lì máng ， wéi zhuó shǒu wàn yī rào ， dùn shí yān hóng de xiān xuè dī dā dī dā de wǎng xià diào 。
宫装女修从嘴里吐出一缕厉芒，围着手腕一绕，顿时殷红的鲜血滴答滴答的往下掉。
The female cultivator spat out a strand of fierce light around her wrist. Blood began to drip down.
nà xiē xuè yè quán bù jìn rù le hǔ pò zhuàng de yuán qiú ， bìng bèi xùn xī shōu 。
那些血液全部浸入了琥珀状的圆球，并被迅吸收。
All this blood seeped into the amber-like sphere and was absorbed by it.
cǐ nǚ shén sè zhèng zhòng yǐ jí ， yīng chún wēi qǐ ， tǔ chū dī chén huì sè de zhòu yǔ 。
此女神色郑重以极，樱唇微启，吐出低沉晦涩的咒语。
Heavenly God Ghost Emperor's eyes narrowed as he recognized this technique. It involved condensing the soul and transforming it, something he had experienced when he advanced to the婴灵期 stage.
suí hòu chōng nà yuán zhū yì diǎn zhǐ 。
随后冲那圆珠一点指。
However, that process took several days of effort. Here, in just a few breaths, the creature completed its transformation. How was that possible? Could its realm be even higher than expected?
sī de yī shēng ， nà yuán zhū biǎo miàn chū xiàn le yī dào xì xiǎo de liè wén ， jiē zhe què rú tóng zhī mèi wǎng yì bān ， xùn kuò dà le kāi lái 。
嘶的一声，那圆珠表面出现了一道细小的裂纹，接着却如同蜘妹网一般，迅扩大了开来。
Heavenly God Ghost Emperor gasped as the appearance of the monster entered his view. It was terrifying and bizarre to an extreme: human face, tiger paws, wide mouth with sharp white fangs, long tail with dark spines, and a body covered in long fur.
hěn kuài ， xì wén jiù jiāng zhěng gè zhū tǐ biǎo miàn tián mǎn ， pēng de bào liè kāi lái ， suì xiè sì jiàn ， yī tuán yán sè guǐ yì de huǒ yàn xióng xióng bào rán 。
很快，细纹就将整个珠体表面填满，嘭的爆裂开来，碎屑四溅，一团颜色诡异的火焰熊熊爆燃。
Even the bald man was shocked. As a cultivator at the early婴灵期 stage, he had seen many things, but such a strange monster was unheard of, not something this world should have.
huǒ yàn zhī zhōng ， nà guài shòu de hún pò zhāng kāi dà kǒu ， chū yī shēng dī chén de sī hǒu ， zhěng jīn tiān dì wèi zhī biàn sè ， wú shù zhǐ tou dà xiǎo de guāng diǎn chū xiàn le 。
火焰之中，那怪兽的魂魄张开大口，出一声低沉的嘶吼，整今天地为之变色，无数指头大小的光点出现了。
"Pray!"
jù lí cǐ chù yuē shù shí lǐ ， yī dào jīng hóng zhèng fēng chí diàn chè ， tū rán nà dùn guāng yī huǎn ， gā rán tíng le xià lái 。
距离此处约数十里，一道惊虹正风驰电掣，突然那遁光一缓，嘎然停了下来。
The Fairy Peacock掩 her mouth in shock, fear evident on her face: "No, it's impossible! This is one of the Four Evils. These are creatures from the higher realms. How could you possibly possess its soul?"
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zhuǎn tóu sì gù ， liǎn shàng què lù chū le jǐ fēn hài rán zhī sè 。
林轩将神识放出，转头四顾，脸上却露出了几分骇然之色。
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist truly deserves to be called a demon for recognizing this immediately. As for why our sect leader possesses such a treasure, I don't know either. However, although it's a fragment of a divine beast from the upper realm, it is sufficient to deal with you. You're not that powerful, right? You even cut off my arm. If I don't extract your soul and spirit, I can never let this go," the palace-dressed woman said venomously.
zhè shì shén me ， tiān dì jiān de zhēn yuán bèi yǐn dòng ， líng qì jìng rán bèi qiáng xíng jù jí ， huà wèi le yí gè gè de guāng diǎn ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng ， bié shuō zì jǐ ， biàn shì yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì yě méi yǒu zhǎng wò 。
这是什么，天地间的真元被引动，灵气竟然被强行聚集，化为了一个个的光点，这种神通，别说自己，便是元婴后期的大修士也没有掌握。
"What? This is Pray?" Heavenly God Ghost Emperor exclaimed in surprise despite his composure.
zhè yǐ jīng chù jí le cǐ jiè de tiān dì fǎ zé ， néng gòu jiāng qí yùn yòng de zhì shǎo yě yào shì lí hé qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
这已经触及了此界的天地法则，能够将其运用的至少也要是离合期的修仙者。
He had heard of this monster's name. Legend spoke of four spirits and four evils: Phoenix, True Dragon, Qilin, and Ao; and Chaos, Pienchi, Xuanwu, and Pray.
xiǎng dào cǐ chù 。 lín xuān de biǎo qíng dùn shí biàn dé nán kàn wú bǐ le 。
想到此处。林轩的表情顿时变得难看无比了。
These were enemies, each with incredible powers. Even in the spirit realm, they were considered top-tier beings.
nán dào zhè cāng míng shān zhōng ， jìng rán lái le zhè zhǒng děng jiē de lǎo guài wù ？
难道这沧溟山中，竟然来了这种等阶的老怪物？
Although it was just a fragment of its soul, its appearance here was too strange for comfort.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， bù kě néng ， suī rán yǐ tiān yún shí èr zhōu xiū xiān jiè de shì lì ， lí hé qī de cún zài kěn dìng huì yǒu yī xiē 。
林轩摇了摇头，不可能，虽然以天云十二州修仙界的势力，离合期的存在肯定会有一些。
Could it be that an upper realm cultivator brought it down?
dàn jué bù kě néng lái dào zhè mán huāng zhī dì 。
但绝不可能来到这蛮荒之地。
Heavenly God Ghost Emperor’s mind raced as he thought about this possibility. Even for ordinary cultivators, there was no chance to see the Four Evils, and Pray was particularly vicious. It would have long since devoured any cultivator who encountered it.
xū zhī xiū xiān zhǐ wèi cháng shēng ér yǐ ， dào le tā men nà zhǒng děng jí ， jù lí fēi shēng shàng jiè yě jiù jǐn yǒu yī bù zhī yáo ér yǐ ， chú le dà dào ， yī qiè dōu shì fú yún ， suǒ yǐ bù guǎn shì rén yāo nǎ yī zú de lí hé qī lǎo guài wù ， jī běn shàng dōu bù wèn shì shì de ， yì xīn yí yì ， xiǎng yào dù guò tiān jié ， cóng ér fēi shēng shàng jiè 。
须知修仙只为长生而已，到了他们那种等级，距离飞升上界也就仅有一步之遥而已，除了大道，一切都是浮云，所以不管是人妖哪一族的离合期老怪物，基本上都不问世事的，一心一意，想要度过天劫，从而飞升上界。
However, someone had managed to obtain a fragment of its soul, indicating that they were a high-ranking existence in the upper realm. Why would such a powerful expert come down here?
dàn jiāng tiān dì zhēn yuán yǐn dòng ， què shí xū yào lí hé qī de shén tōng 。
但将天地真元引动，确实需要离合期的神通。
Heavenly God Ghost Emperor’s thoughts raced but quickly dismissed them. Such secrets should not be tainted by him; knowing about this could endanger his life.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yí huò ， fēng bào de zhōng xīn biàn lái zì nà dòu fǎ zuì jī liè zhī chù 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝疑惑，风暴的中心便来自那斗法最激烈之处。
A "咯咯咯" sound of laughter echoed as the palace-dressed woman regained her arrogance: "Go, devour that wench alive and spit out the demon's essence and soul."
xiǎn rán nà ge dì fāng shēng le shén me biàn gù ，，
显然那个地方生了什么变故，，
However, Pray remained motionless.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
The palace-dressed woman frowned and cast a spell with one hand: "Didn't you hear what I said? Go and devour that wench for me."
yī shí zhī jiān ， lín xuān yě yǒu diǎn chóu chú 。
一时之间，林轩也有点踌躇。
"Commanding me?" Pray turned its head and spoke in human language.
rú guǒ jiāng gè rén gǎn qíng pāo kāi de huà ， cǐ kè zuì wèi zhèng què de xuǎn zé ， mò guò yú diào tóu jiù zǒu ， bì jìng lín xuān néng gòu xiū dào yuán yīng zhōng qī ， kě yǐ shuō shū wèi bù yì ， chú le běn shēn de fèn dòu yǔ nǔ lì ， hái jiā shàng yī xiǎo diǎn yùn qì ， tóng shí yě dé yì yú tā de xìng gé xiǎo xīn ， jǐn shèn ， yù jiàn shì qíng jué bù mán gàn yìng pīn ， yuǎn lí wēi xiǎn ， zhēn xī shēng mìng 。
如果将个人感情抛开的话，此刻最为正确的选择，莫过于掉头就走，毕竟林轩能够修到元婴中期，可以说殊为不易，除了本身的奋斗与努力，还加上一小点运气，同时也得益于他的性格小心，谨慎，遇见事情绝不蛮干硬拼，远离危险，珍惜生命。
Seeing her displeased expression, the palace-dressed woman was taken aback. Her face contorted into an uneasy look: "Impossible! I have already placed a blood curse on you, so you should obey my command. How dare you defy it?"
jù lín xuān tuī cè ， qián miàn suī shuō bù tài kě néng zhēn shì lí hé qī lǎo guài ， dàn kěn dìng yě yùn hán zhe mò dà de wēi xiǎn ， yuǎn lí dāng rán shì zuì cōng míng de zuò fǎ le 。
据林轩推测，前面虽说不太可能真是离合期老怪，但肯定也蕴含着莫大的危险，远离当然是最聪明的做法了。
"Hmph, what blood curse? It's merely a temporary low-level seal using essence and blood as a medium.
rán ér zì jǐ zhēn néng yī zǒu liǎo zhī me ？
然而自己真能一走了之么？
Forget it; although I am only a fragment of its soul, such things can't bind the true form," Pray said in a deep voice, with red light emanating from its large eyes.
lín xuān liǎn shàng xiàn chū chí yí zhī sè ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā de nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng ， lǐ zhì yǔ qíng gǎn zhèng jī liè de jiāo zhàn zhe 。
林轩脸上现出迟疑之色，此时此刻，他的脑海之中，理智与情感正激烈的交战着。
The palace-dressed woman grew increasingly panicked. Seeing Pray advancing towards her, she stammered: "You—what are you going to do? You were sealed within that talisman, but I freed you. How can you repay me by betraying me?"
bú yòng shuō ， kǒng què de qíng xíng xiàn zài kěn dìng shì bù miào de 。
不用说，孔雀的情形现在肯定是不妙的。
"Repay me? A joke! Don't you know I am one of the Four Evils in the spirit realm? Fine, since you did have a favor for me, let me eat you as repayment," Pray said, opening its mouth and emitting a raucous laugh.
ér zì jǐ péng yǒu bù duō ， shì fǒu zhēn de néng xīn ān lǐ dé de zhì tā yú zhī bù gù ？
而自己朋友不多，是否真的能心安理得的置她于之不顾？
Simultaneously, it stomped its foot, sending out a red light that formed a crescent moon about two feet wide. The crescent moon carried the force of a strong wind and struck the woman's head with great ferocity.
zhè shì yí gè jiān nán de xuǎn zé 。
这是一个艰难的选择。
The palace-dressed woman was shocked and bit her teeth in response. She quickly summoned her silver hook treasure to defend herself.
Qi Shuangnian pressed her hands together in front of her chest, and her fingers spread out layer by layer. It was as if she were a lotus flower unfolding its petals. Although it was only a small portion of the spirit sword, there were still two thousand of them. If another cultivator at the early婴灵期 stage tried to block this, they would likely fail.
However, the power of Heavenly God Ghost Emperor’s abilities truly could not be underestimated. The dark wind and ghostly mist emanating from him seemed endless. As soon as a hand was destroyed by the spirit sword, it quickly regenerated under the support of the ghostly fog.
