suí zhe xuán huáng jiè luó yān zhōu kōng jiān de bù duàn tā xiàn ， qīng fēng yě màn màn bèi chě zhe xiǎn huà chū le zhēn zhèng de shēn yǐng 。
随着玄黄界罗烟州空间的不断塌陷，清风也慢慢被扯着显化出了真正的身影。
As the spatial collapse of Luo Yan Zhou in Xuanhuang World continued, Qingfeng slowly began to take on its true form.
hè rán shì yī zhū zhī yè piāo fēi de liǔ shù ！
赫然是一株枝叶飘飞的柳树！
It was a willow tree with fluttering branches!
bù guò qīng fēng xiǎn rán bú shì xún cháng de shù mù suǒ huà ， zhà yī yǎn kàn shì shì liǔ shù ， xì kàn zhī xià 、 yǒu róng hé le qí tā zhū duō shù mù de tè diǎn 。
不过清风显然不是寻常的树木所化，乍一眼看似是柳树，细看之下、有融合了其他诸多树木的特点。
However, Qingfeng clearly wasn't an ordinary tree. At first glance, it seemed like a willow, but upon closer inspection, it had characteristics of many other trees combined.
chě chū qīng fēng dà bàn zhēn shēn zhī hòu ， yín sè suǒ liàn jiù bù zài qián jìn 、 jiāng chí zài bàn kōng zhōng 。
扯出清风大半真身之后，银色锁链就不再前进、僵持在半空中。
After revealing most of its true form, the silver chain stopped advancing and remained suspended in mid-air as if encountering great resistance.
fǎng fú yù dào le jí dà zǔ lì shì de 。
仿佛遇到了极大阻力似的。
Despite looking so disheveled on the outside, Qingfeng showed no signs of pain. Instead, he kept muttering to himself, seemingly recalling something due to Li Ping's actions.
ér wài biǎo kàn shàng qù rú cǐ láng bèi ， qīng fēng què bù zhī wèi hé gēn běn méi yǒu bàn diǎn de tòng kǔ 。
而外表看上去如此狼狈，清风却不知为何根本没有半点的痛苦。
"Where am I..."
zhǐ shì bù duàn zài zì yán zì yǔ ， sì hū zhēn de yīn wèi lǐ píng de jǔ dòng xiǎng qǐ le shén me 。
只是不断在自言自语，似乎真的因为李平的举动想起了什么。
"What happened over these years?"
“ zhè lǐ shì ……”
“这里是……”
"Am I Qingfeng? No, no... This is a name given by Shuyuan. My original name was..."
“ zhè xiē nián dào dǐ fā shēng le shén me shì qíng ？”
“这些年到底发生了什么事情？”
"It was..."
“ wǒ shì qīng fēng ？ bù bù ， zhè shì xū yuān xiàn gěi wǒ qǔ de míng zì 。 wǒ yuán běn de míng zì shì ……”
“我是清风？不不，这是虚渊献给我取的名字。我原本的名字是……”
"Heaven..."
“ shì ……”
“是……”
"Heavenly Sound?!"
“ tiān ……”
“天……”
A similar silver light shot out from the willow tree and headed straight for Li Ping.
“ tiān yīn ？！”
“天音？！”
The speed of the silver light was astonishing; it had already reached Li Ping's position the moment it appeared, directly aimed at his brain and识海 (spirit sea).
tóng yàng yī dào yín máng zì liǔ shù tǐ nèi fēi chū 。
同样一道银芒自柳树体内飞出。
The automatic protective shield made of golden source essence energy was equally fast. A barrier blocked Li Fan before it clashed violently with the silver light.
zhí bēn lǐ píng ér lái 。
直奔李平而来。
There was no thunderous explosion, only intense extinguishing of their respective lights.
yín máng de sù dù shí zài tài kuài le ， jī hū shì zài xiàn shēn de chà nà 、 jiù yǐ jīng lái dào le lǐ píng de miàn qián 。
银芒的速度实在太快了，几乎是在现身的刹那、就已经来到了李平的面前。
"Run?"
bǐ zhí de duì zhǔn tā de dà nǎo ， shí hǎi suǒ zài wèi zhì 。
笔直的对准他的大脑，识海所在位置。
At this moment, Li Ping vaguely sensed a message from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.
jīn sè yuán lì jīng cuì de zì dòng hù tǐ tóng yàng yě shì kuài dào nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng 。
金色源力精粹的自动护体同样也是快到难以想象。
It was an alert, urging him to escape quickly.
yī céng hù zhào dǎng zài le lǐ fán zhī qián ， gēn yín máng jù liè pèng zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
一层护罩挡在了李凡之前，跟银芒剧烈碰撞在一起。
Li Ping's heart sank as he looked ahead. Under the erosion by golden source essence energy, the dazzling silver light gradually revealed its true form—a seemingly ordinary silver needle.
méi yǒu jīng tiān dòng dì de bào zhà shēng ， yǒu de zhǐ shì bǐ cǐ guāng máng de jù liè de xiāo mǐ 。
没有惊天动地的爆炸声，有的只是彼此光芒的剧烈的消弭。
Despite the fading light around it, the threat it posed to Li Ping didn't diminish in the slightest.
“ pǎo ？”
“跑？”
"I am now halfway through the Immortal Realm with Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's power."
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lǐ píng yǐn yuē gǎn shòu dào le xuán huáng tiān dào chuán dá guò lái de yì niàn 。
与此同时，李平隐约感受到了玄黄天道传达过来的意念。
"Yet I'm struggling with a mere silver needle..."
jìng rán shì shì jǐng ， ràng tā kuài diǎn táo dùn 。
竟然是示警，让他快点逃遁。
Li Ping was not disheartened but rather angry. A familiar old and kind face appeared in his mind along with this needle.
lǐ píng xīn zhōng yī chén ， cháo zhe qián fāng kàn le yǎn 。
李平心中一沉，朝着前方看了眼。
"Surely, it has something to do with the people from the Law World."
zài jīn sè yuán lì jīng cuì de xiāo mó zhī xià ， nà dào cuǐ càn de yín máng yě màn màn lù chū le zhēn róng 。
在金色源力精粹的消磨之下，那道璀璨的银芒也慢慢露出了真容。
"Holocaust on Xuanhuang; their crimes deserve punishment!"
nà shì yī gēn kàn shì pǔ pǔ tōng tōng de yín zhēn 。
那是一根看似普普通通的银针。
Li Ping's resolve to kill grew stronger.
suī rán lǒng zhào zài qí shàng de guāng máng zhèng zài màn màn xiāo shì ， dàn tā dài gěi lǐ píng de wēi xié zhī gǎn què sī háo méi yǒu jiǎn ruò 。
虽然笼罩在其上的光芒正在慢慢消逝，但它带给李平的威胁之感却丝毫没有减弱。
However, he knew that he wasn't yet a match for Heavenly Physician. He had to temporarily retreat first.
“ wǒ cǐ kè ， xuán huáng tiān dào zhī lì jiā shēn ， yǐ jīng suàn de shàng shì bàn gè cháng shēng jìng le 。”
“我此刻，玄黄天道之力加身，已经算的上是半个长生境了。”
The silver chain in his hand loosened instantly as Qingfeng or Tianyin spoke again with her voice becoming more transparent.
“ què jū rán gēn yī gēn xiǎo xiǎo de yín zhēn dǎ dī nán jiě nán fēn ……”
“却居然跟一根小小的银针打的难解难分……”
"Go."
lǐ píng xīn zhōng méi yǒu jǔ sàng ， fǎn dào shì xiē xǔ de fèn nù 。
李平心中没有沮丧，反倒是些许的愤怒。
Li Ping couldn't afford to care about the other party at this critical moment. While defending against the needle, he prepared to leave Luo Yan Zhou.
bàn suí zhe zhè yín zhēn yì qǐ de ， chū xiàn zài lǐ píng nǎo hǎi zhōng de shì yī zhāng cāng lǎo 、 cí xiáng de miàn páng 。
伴随着这银针一起的，出现在李平脑海中的是一张苍老、慈祥的面庞。
In a desperate situation, he didn’t forget to take Su Luduan, who was now completely stunned, along with him.
“ guǒ rán gēn tiān fǎ jiè de rén tuō bù liǎo gān xì 。”
“果然跟天法界的人脱不了干系。”
As Li Ping's figure gradually faded within the golden source essence energy, Heavenly Physician’s silver needle did not pursue but returned to Tianyin’s body, sealing her inside an invisible form.
“ huò luàn xuán huáng ， qí zuì dāng zhū ！”
“霍乱玄黄，其罪当诛！”
Before leaving, Li Ping faintly heard a sigh in the air.
lǐ píng xīn zhōng shā yì bù duàn yǒng xiàn 。
李平心中杀意不断涌现。
"Where has the sound of Tianyin drifted..."
bù guò tā què yě zhī dào ， rú jīn de zì jǐ hái bú shì tiān yī de duì shǒu ， zhǐ dé xiān zàn shí chè lí 。
不过他却也知道，如今的自己还不是天医的对手，只得先暂时撤离。
"Where has the sound of Tianyin drifted..."
shǒu zhōng jǐn wò de yín sè suǒ liàn shà shí sōng kāi ， qīng fēng huò zhě shuō tiān yīn ， tā de shēng yīn zài dù biàn dé màn màn tòu míng 。
手中紧握的银色锁链霎时松开，清风或者说天音，她的声音再度变得慢慢透明。
After Li Ping completely vanished from Luo Yan Zhou, the strange occurrences in the world did not decrease but intensified. Lightning struck wildly, and the frenzied thunderstorms seemed like an apocalyptic scene.
“ zǒu 。”
“走。”
In fact, true apocalypse had arrived as a figure as dark as ink descended into Luo Yan Zhou.
lǐ píng cǐ kè què yě gù bù dé duì fāng le 。
李平此刻却也顾不得对方了。
If Li Fan were here, he would have recognized this familiar existence—Heavenly Soul, Mo Shi!
dǐ dǎng zhe yín zhēn jìn gōng de tóng shí ， lǐ píng zhǔn bèi lí kāi luó yān zhōu 。
抵挡着银针进攻的同时，李平准备离开罗烟州。
As Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's ultimate means of destruction, He decisively appeared after Li Ping left.
wēi jī guān tóu ， hái bù wàng dài zhe yǐ jīng chè dǐ dāi zhù de sūn lù yuǎn 。
危机关头，还不忘带着已经彻底呆住的孙路远。
Mo Shi first looked at the direction Li Ping had gone. Then, He transformed from one to myriad and from myriad to billions without hesitation. Mo Shi skillfully produced endless ink-colored energy, intent on completely erasing Luo Yan Zhou.
jīn sè yuán lì bāo guǒ zhōng ， lǐ píng de shēn yǐng tóng yàng màn màn biàn dàn 。
金色源力包裹中，李平的身影同样慢慢变淡。
Mo Shi’s arrival was more rapid than any previous instances of his extermination of the sea. The Luo Yan Zhou cultivators had no time to resist or escape. In just a short while, the once somewhat desolate but still living Luo Yan Zhou turned into nothingness.
tiān yī yín zhēn méi yǒu zhuī jī ， ér shì fǎn huí tiān yīn de shēn tǐ ， jiāng qí zhèn yā jìn wú xíng wú xiāng zhī nèi 。
天医银针没有追击，而是返回天音的身体，将其镇压进无形无相之内。
The sudden appearance of Mo Shi alarmed many hidden powerhouses within Xuanhuang World. However, Luo Yan Zhou no longer existed. They could no longer find any clues even if they wanted to.
zài táo lí zhī qián ， lǐ píng yǐn yuē jiān ， tīng dào le kōng zhōng chuán lái de tàn xī zhī shēng 。
在逃离之前，李平隐约间，听到了空中传来的叹息之声。
The impact of Mo Shi's sudden annihilation of a state was just beginning.
“ tiān yīn miǎo miǎo luò shuí jiā ……”
“天音渺渺落谁家……”
In the Imperial Hall of the Holy Dynasty, Li Ping sat with remnants of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao energy allowing him to know what had happened in Luo Yan Zhou.
“ tiān yīn miǎo miǎo luò shuí jiā 。”
“天音渺渺落谁家。”
He knew that this was an action taken by Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to prevent Him from being probed and tracked by Heavenly Physician. Given that Luo Yan Zhou was a fragment of the Law World, Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's cleanup was decisive.
dāng lǐ píng chè dǐ xiāo shī zài luó yān zhōu zhī nèi hòu ， tiān dì jiān de yì dòng què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ jiǎn shǎo 。
当李平彻底消失在罗烟州之内后，天地间的异动却并没有因此减少。
"Is that woman named Tianyin?"
fǎn dào yǒu yù yǎn yù liè zhī shì 。
反倒有愈演愈烈之势。
"Like Heavenly Physician, she has the ability to probe minds."
yī dào dào shǎn diàn ， fēng kuáng de pī xià 。 kuáng zào de léi bào ， wǎn ruò shì jiè mò shì 。
一道道闪电，疯狂的劈下。狂躁的雷暴，宛若世界末世。
"She is formless and intangible, hidden in Xuanhuang World. It might be due to her own abilities or the enhancement from Heavenly Physician’s silver needle."
huò zhě shuō ， shì zhēn de mò shì lái lín liǎo 。
或者说，是真的末世来临了。
"Though I don't know the purpose, it's certainly not good for Xuanhuang World itself."
yīn wèi yī dào qī hēi rú mò de shēn yǐng ， yǐ rán jiàng lín zài le luó yān zhōu nèi 。
因为一道漆黑如墨的身影，已然降临在了罗烟州内。
Although this encounter with Heavenly Physician ended in failure, Li Ping gained insight into his gap.
ruò shì lǐ fán zài cǐ ， dìng rán néng yī yǎn rèn chū zhè shú xī de cún zài 。
若是李凡在此，定然能一眼认出这熟悉的存在。
"Heavenly Dao Transmitter is even stronger."
zhèng shì tiān dì zhī pò ， mò shā ！
正是天地之魄，墨杀！
"It seems there's still a long way to go."
zuò wéi xuán huáng tiān dào de zhōng jí miè shì shǒu duàn ， tā cǐ kè zài lǐ píng lí kāi zhī hòu ， què shì guǒ duàn jiàng lín le 。
作为玄黄天道的终极灭世手段，祂此刻在李平离开之后，却是果断降临了。
"But since my use of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao energy was limited. If it were truly a life-or-death situation, the enhancement from Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao could be many times greater."
mò shā xiān shì cháo zhe lǐ píng lí kāi de dì fāng kàn le yǎn 。
墨杀先是朝着李平离开的地方看了眼。
"The Holy Dynasty has an infinite future ahead."
ér hòu yī huà wèi wàn ， wàn huà wèi yì 。
而后一化为万，万化为亿。
"Moreover, the Fishing Pool is a treasure; maybe it will give me some surprises from outside the walls."
méi yǒu rèn hé de yóu yù ， shú liàn de biàn huà chū wú jìn de mò sè 。
没有任何的犹豫，熟练的变化出无尽的墨色。
Li Ping didn't wallow in self-pity. After a brief failure, he immediately started reflecting and seeking solutions.
yào jiāng luó yān zhōu chè dǐ qīng chú 。
要将罗烟州彻底清除。
"But this isn’t enough."
mò shā jiàng lín ， bìng qiě éi zhè yī cì màn yán de sù dù bǐ qǐ lǐ fán céng jīng jīng lì guò de mò shā miè hǎi hái yào xùn sù xǔ duō 。
墨杀降临，并且诶这一次蔓延的速度比起李凡曾经经历过的墨杀灭海还要迅速许多。
He naturally thought of the sealed Xuanhuang World's negative thoughts. This time, consuming the residual consciousness of Congyunhai gave him a clearer understanding of the power of world will.
luó yān zhōu de xiū shì men gēn běn méi yǒu fǎn kàng 、 táo lí de shí jiān 。
罗烟州的修士们根本没有反抗、逃离的时间。
"If I could consume all the Xuanhuang negative thoughts..."
jǐn jǐn shì yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yuán běn suī rán yǒu xiē huāng liáng 、 què yě yǒu bì jìng yǒu zhe shēng jī de luó yān zhōu ， yǐ rán chè dǐ biàn zuò le yī piàn xū wú 。
仅仅是一盏茶的功夫，原本虽然有些荒凉、却也有毕竟有着生机的罗烟州，已然彻底变作了一片虚无。
"The Xuanhuang force would return to its complete state; I would undergo significant changes."
ér mò shā háo wú zhēng zhào de xiàn shì ， zì shì jīng dòng le xuán huáng jiè nèi de zhū duō yǐn cáng qiáng zhě 。
而墨杀毫无征兆的现世，自是惊动了玄黄界内的诸多隐藏强者。
"This matter must be prioritized."
dàn cǐ kè de luó yān zhōu yǐ rán bù fù cún zài 。
但此刻的罗烟州已然不复存在。
...
tā men jí biàn xiǎng yào chá zhǎo xiē shén me xiàn suǒ ， yě shì wú néng wéi lì le 。
他们即便想要查找些什么线索，也是无能为力了。
While Li Ping was thinking, Su Luduan trembled and hid under the Imperial Seat, not daring to move. The shock from both the current Holy Emperor and Tianyin, as well as the silver needle's actions, had left him deeply shaken.
mò shā tū wù jiān miè jué yī zhōu zhī dì shì jiàn de yǐng xiǎng ， cái gāng gāng kāi shǐ 。
墨杀突兀间灭绝一州之地事件的影响，才刚刚开始。
Clearly, he was a Daoist who had achieved the Way, yet in their presence, he felt like a child with no resistance.
shèng cháo dà qǐ ， shèng huáng zuò zhōng 。
圣朝大启，圣皇座中。
"How do you view that woman named Tianyin?"
lǐ píng duān zuò ， shēn shàng cán cún de xuán huáng tiān dào zhī lì ， ràng tā yǐ rán zhī dào zài luó yān zhōu nèi fā shēng de shì qíng 。
李平端坐，身上残存的玄黄天道之力，让他已然知道在罗烟州内发生的事情。
After a long time, the voice of the Mandate Holy Emperor entered Su Luduan’s ears. He shivered and looked pained.
tā zhī dào ， zhè shì xuán huáng tiān dào wèi le fáng zhǐ zì jǐ bèi tiān yī chá tàn 、 zhuī zōng dào ， suǒ cǎi qǔ de xíng dòng 。
他知道，这是玄黄天道为了防止自己被天医查探、追踪到，所采取的行动。

As the spatial collapse of Luo Yan Zhou in Xuanhuang World continued, Qingfeng slowly began to take on its true form.
It was a willow tree with fluttering branches!
However, Qingfeng clearly wasn't an ordinary tree. At first glance, it seemed like a willow, but upon closer inspection, it had characteristics of many other trees combined.

A similar silver light shot out from the willow tree and headed straight for Li Ping.
The speed of the silver light was astonishing; it had already reached Li Ping's position the moment it appeared, directly aimed at his brain and识海 (spirit sea).
