A Thought Through Eternity - Chapter 148

Chapter 148 – Big Brother, Come Play With Me…

 

在这半个陨剑世界内，此刻无数的区域，快速的模糊扭曲，似乎在这虚无里，有一头头沉睡的煞兽，在这一瞬，不知是被天雷唤醒，还是冥冥间感受到了白小纯的灵药，此刻竟全部在震动中，睁开了眼。

 

At this moment, the numerous regions within this half of the Meteoric Sword Abyss were quickly becoming warped and indistinct; it was as though in this void, multiple evil beasts that were sleeping, instantly opening their eyes in the midst of the tremors (word shake is used in raw, need check 147 for the context of the shaking here). It was unknown whether it was Heaven’s Thunder (again, I need to check 147 for context) that roused them, or them sensing Bai Xiaochun’s medicine.

 

有一些煞兽苏醒的地方，附近有四宗弟子，可绝大多数煞兽苏醒的区域，没有修士，它们全部在这一刹那，以狰狞的双目，看向白小纯所在的方位，那目中露出贪婪与疯狂，似乎有无数的嘶吼咆哮。

 

Close to some of the places where the evil beasts awoke, there were several disciples from the Four Sects, but for the great majority of the areas where the beast regained consciousness, there were no cultivators near them. In that split second, all of the beast glared at Bai Xiaochun with ferocious eyes revealing greed and insanity,accompanied numerous roars.

 

紧接着，随着多处区域虚无如水波一样的波动，这半个陨剑世界内的煞兽，竟齐齐而动，于虚无中穿梭疾驰。

 

Along with the the water-like rippling fluctuations of the many areas, the evil beasts in half of the Meteoric Sword Abyss simultaneously started moving out in an orderly fashion, galloping madly out of the void.

 

可……比这些煞兽更惊人的，则是在这半个陨剑世界内，一些没有煞兽敢出现的区域里，慢慢虚无中凝聚出了一个又一个身影。

 

Yet… More astounding than the horrifying evil beast were the figures that slowly appeared one after another in the territories that the beasts did not occupy, in this half of the Meteoric Sword Abyss

 

有男有女，有老有少，最小的是一个穿着白色衣衫的小女孩，抱着一个没有皮的血色小熊，正茫然的漂浮，更有一些通天大陆从没有出现过的凶兽。

 

There were figures of all age and gender, with the youngest one being a white clothed little girl with a skinless blood colored teddy bear in her arms, floating in mid air. With them were vicious beasts never before seen in the entire Babel Continent!

 

它们是……煞魂！

 

They were… Evil Spirits!

 

是这把天外大剑，在无尽的岁月里，被其主人持有所灭杀的生命，于这地脉中，衍变而出的死魂！

 

They were the lives taken by the great sword that fell from the sky, during the endless ages, that evolved and developed into dead souls in the earth pulse!

 

诡异无边，神秘莫测，可以肯定的是……这些煞魂生前，绝非……通天大陆之人，他们，来自传说中可以永恒的天外！

 

It was extremely bizzare and mysterious, with only one thing for certain… The past lives of these evil spirits, were not from the Babel Continent. In the legends they came from the eternal outer sky!

 

这些身影零散，分布在陨剑世界的偏僻区域，它们所在的地方，是煞兽的禁区，没有任何一头煞兽敢于靠近。

 

The figures scattered, distributing themselves to secluded regions of Meteoric Sword Abyss. Whenever they took over a place, those areas became forbidden to the evil beasts, and none dared to venture near the evil spirits.

 

而此刻，这些身影，在各自的区域里慢慢从虚无中走出，有的穿着古老的服装，有的穿着战甲，有的身体长满鳞片，样子各异，身体多有残缺，要么失去了手臂，要么只剩下半个头颅，还有的在腹部有巨大的窟窿，阵阵黑气散出，挥发不断。

 

At this moment, these figures started walking out slowly from the void of their respective territories, some with ancient clothing, others with armor, and a couple with scales covering their entire body. They they display strange characteristics, with many missing parts from their bodies, either without an arm or with the upper part of the head gone. A few even had holes in their abdomen, with black qi spreading out from it.

 

每一个煞魂，都带着茫然，它们没有神智，没有记忆，所过之处，所有煞兽都颤抖，任由这些煞魂漂过，若是恰好被煞魂碰到了身体，这些煞兽就立刻碎灭消散。

 

Every evil spirit seemed as if they were lost, unaware and without memory. Wherever they passed swiftly, the evil beasts trembled and shivered, letting them float by. Should the spirit coincidentally make contact with their bodies, the beasts would directly dissipate and scatter into nothingness.

 

尤其是那些凶兽样子的煞魂，更是模样诡异，如拼凑出来！

 

The evil spirits that look like vicious beasts, in particular, were most perculiar, it is as if they were scrambled and awfully patched up together!

 

煞魂降临，穿梭虚无时，速度之快，难以形容，超越了一切空间的阻隔，所去的地方……正是白小纯所在之地！

 

As the spirits descended out of the void, with incredible speed, passing all boundaries of space… Their destination- where Bai Xiaochun was!

 

数量众多，从四周八方，齐齐而去！

 

Great in numbers, they came orderly from all directions!

 

途中，一些四宗弟子察觉到了不对劲，他们看到了四周的虚无扭曲，看到了一个个煞兽的虚影若隐若现，原本正惊喜要去厮杀，可很快就头皮发麻，骇然的发现，这里的煞兽太多了。

 

On the way, some of the four sects’ disciples sensed that something was wrong. They saw the space around them distort and twist before the ghostly figures of evil beasts appeared, just before they begun slaying them, their scalp went numb, as they quickly realizing that the numbers were too great.

 

成群而去，如同煞兽之潮！

 

They travel in such a large group, that it was like a tide of evil beasts!

 

“怎么会事！”

 

“What’s going on!”

 

“天啊，这里的煞兽很难找，可如今怎么全部都自己出来了，数量居然如此庞大！”

 

“Oh god, the evil beasts here are really rare, yet now they all came out by themselves now? And the number of them, it’s just too much!”

 

“一定是出了什么变故，该死的，那些是什么……煞魂，那些是煞魂！”半个陨剑世界内，四宗弟子的惊呼，很快回荡，尤其是当他们看到那些煞兽中，居然出现了煞魂时，一个个顿时倒吸口气，赶紧飞奔逃走。

 

“Something must have happened, damn it. What are those… Evil spirits, those are evil spirits!” In the half of the Meteoric Sword Abyss, the exclaimed cries of the disciples from all the four sects quickly reverberated, as they took a deep breath and start deeply and running away without hesitation especially when they saw the evil spirits coming out among the evil beasts.

 

对于煞魂的恐怖，四大宗的长老，对于弟子的叮嘱都是一样的，煞魂……陨剑深渊特有的存在，绝不可招惹，遇之立避！

 

As for the terror of the evil spirits, the elders of all the four sects gave the same lecture to the disciples. Evil spirits… were an existence only in the Meteoric Sword Abyss, and should never be trifled with- one should run away immediately upon contact with them!

 

“居然连煞魂都被吸引，那个方向，到底出了什么事情！”

 

“all the evil spirits seemed to be attracted to that direction, what is going on over there!”

 

“我们远远的跟着，去看一眼！”四周的四宗弟子，要么三五成群，要么单独，此刻都被这煞魂与煞兽之潮震撼，纷纷深吸口气，暗中跟随。

 

“Let’s follow from far behind to take a look!” Some of the disciples of the four sects formed groups of three to five, while others went alone. They breath rapidly as they followed secretly in the darkness, taken aback by the tide of evil beasts and spirits.

 

这一刻，半个陨剑世界，全部因白小纯灵药出世前的九声天雷，震动而来。

 

At this moment, the half of the Meteoric Sword Abyss is rumbling, all because of the nine thunder cracks before Bai Xiaochun’s pellets came into existence.

 

山洞内，白小纯身体都消瘦了一圈，头发散乱，死死的盯着面前的丹炉，看着每一次轰鸣传出时，丹炉都会多出一道裂缝。

 

In the cave, Bai Xiaochun had thinned down a lot, his hair was a mess as he stared deadly at the furnace in front of him, seeing a new crack form every time a roaring came from the furnace.

 

直至九声后，丹炉猛地颤抖，骤然间崩溃爆开，整个丹炉，直接四分五裂，与此同时，有四道黑色的幽光，瞬息就从崩溃的丹炉内飞出。

 

It was the ninth crack when the furnace violently shook, exploding abruptly as cracks covered it, four beams of black dim light appearing at the same time, instantly flying out from the broken furnace.

 

白小纯早有准备，袖子一甩，紫气驭鼎功全面爆发，近乎形成了一片领域般的掌控，笼罩四周，将那四粒要冲出的灵药，直接压下，一把抓在了手中。

 

Bai Xiaochun was long prepared. With a sweep of his sleeve, his purple qi cauldron technique went into full swing outbreak, forming a force field, enveloping the surroundings ,directly pressed down on the four escaping pellets. With a grab, he got all of them in his palm.

 

“想跑？”白小纯得意的哼了一声，低头看向手中的四枚丹药，目中露出火热，赶紧出了山洞，想要去找个煞兽看看效果。

 

attempting to escape?” Bai Xiaochun snorted with delight as he looked down at the four pellets in his hand, passion burning in his eyes. With haste, he left the cave in search of an evil beast to observe the results.

 

可就在他走出山洞的刹那，突然的，白小纯神色微动，身体猛地退后半步，在他退后的刹那，一条黑色的蝎尾，刹那从虚无中出现，从白小纯之前所在的位置，蝎尾呼啸而过。

 

Just when he went out the cave, however, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes lit up suddenly, his body quickly stepping half a step backward, following after it was the swipe of a black scorpion tail that slashing through the space Bai Xiaochun was just occupying, that came from nothingness.

 

一击不中，一条一丈多长的黑色蝎子，从虚无中幻化，目中露出疯狂与贪婪，死死的盯着白小纯右手的四枚丹药，刹那扑来。

 

With the first attack being unsuccessful, the ten foot long black scorpion appeared from the void, its eyes full of greed and insanity as it fixed its death glare on the four pellets in Bai Xiaochun’s right hand, stubbornly lunging at him once more.

 

气势凶猛，不似低阶煞兽，更是与当初的巨熊一样的中阶。

 

Its imposing aura was strong, no weaker than the lesser evil beasts, even matching that middle level great bear from before.

 

白小纯目光一闪，左手快若闪电，超越了蝎子的速度，一把伸出抓住蝎尾，向着一旁的岩壁狠狠一轮，轰的一声砸下时，他的灵力瞬间迸发出来，轰入这蝎子的体内，直接碎灭了几处蝎体中最脆弱的几个区域，蝎子挣扎了一下，身体软了下来，飞快模糊，化作地脉之气被白小纯收走。

 

Eyes flashing, Bai Xiaochun’s left hand moved like lightning, surpassing the scorpion’s speed as it latched onto the scorpion’s tail. With a violent movement, Bai Xiaochun sent the scorpion crashing into the boulder beside him, and in a blast, the qi within him instantly came out, going inside the scorpion’s body and without delay destroying some of the weakest areas in the scorpion’s body. It struggled for a while before the body softened down, quickly blurring into earth pulse qi that Bai Xiaochun collected.

 

若是换了寻常修士，对付这不俗的中阶煞兽，即便是听过宗门前辈提点，也难以这般简单的灭杀，可对研究了数十近百头煞兽的白小纯而言，他一眼看去，就能找出煞兽的脆弱点，杀之容易。

 

Should it be some other ordinary cultivator, they would not have been able to handle a middle level evil beast like that. Even with the hints the sects gave, it would prove to be a difficult task to kill it that way.However, for Bai Xiaochun, who had researched more than a hundred evil beasts, all it took was a glance for him to locate the weaknesses of the evil beast, making the kill much simpler.

 

“刚一出丹，就能引起煞兽的注意，哈哈，我白小纯的丹药，的确是成了！”白小纯振奋，更有强烈的得意感，正琢磨要不要将这四枚丹药炼灵时，他四周的虚无，肉眼可见的出现了一层层水波般的波纹，放眼看去，在四方远处，这波纹更多更强烈，甚至还有一头头煞兽的身影，若隐若现。

 

“I just used the pellet, and it attracted an evil beast’s attention so fast. Haha, Mypellet, is indeed complete!” Bai Xiaochun was excited as his body was overflowed with bliss. Just when he was thinking about whether he should refine the four pellets, the nothingness around him had noticeable layers of water-like ripples. At a glance, in the radius around him, the ripples were much more intense, with evil beast after evil beast appearing.

 

“这么多，够了够了，哈哈，如此一来，我白小纯一定可以第一个筑基！”

 

“This many, that’s enough. Haha, if this goes on I, Bai Xiaochun, will be the first one to reach Foundation Establishment!”

 

白小纯眼看这些煞兽，更激动了，手舞足蹈，正要大干一场，可忽然面色一变，睁大了眼，看到在远处，赫然有一个只存在了半个头颅的身影，穿着一身灰色的长袍，仅剩下的一只眼内露出茫然，正漂浮而来，穿梭虚无时，头颅微动，那茫然的双眼在看向白小纯时，竟出现了一些神采波动。

 

As Bai Xiaochun looked at the evil beasts, he grew more excited, waving his fists and legs as he prepared for a big fight. His expression, however, changed suddenly as he looked into the distance with widened eyes, seeing a figure with only half a head, clothed in a long grey robe, the remaining eye looking lost as the body floated to his direction, going past the void. The head moved slightly, and when that disoriented eye landed its sight on Bai Xiaochun, an expression could be felt.

 

这波动，似蕴含了渴望，瞬间如锁定了白小纯，准确的说，是锁定了白小纯手中的丹药，急速而来。

 

That expression showed desire. It instantly locked onto Bai Xiaochun, or, more precisely, on the pellets in Bai Xiaochun’s hands. it sped quickly towards bai Xiaochun’s direction.

 

它四周的煞兽，看到这身影出现，立刻颤抖，不敢动弹，被那身影飞速掠过时，足有七八头煞兽，身体被碰触，直接崩溃消散，惨叫都没有传出。

 

The surrounding evil beasts, upon the appearance of this figure, started to tremble immediately, unable to move as the figure went past them with incredible speed. Seven or eight of the beasts immediately dissipated into nothingness upon contact with the figure.

 

“煞魂？！怎么连煞魂都被引来了，好在只有一……啊？”这一幕，看的白小纯面色变化，可他的话语还没等说完，突然的，在远处又出现了一道煞魂的身影，这煞魂没有双臂，披头散发，穿着一套残破的铠甲，一样在看向白小纯时，露出渴望，急速靠近。

 

“Evil spirit?! Why did it attract evil spirits? Luckily there’s only one… Ah?” The scene following that changed Bai Xiaochun’s expression as he watched, before he finished his words another ghostly figure appeared in the distance, clothed in armor It had two arms and an unkempt hair, as it looked at Bai Xiaochun with the same urge, speedily gaining space.

 

没有结束，更远处，还有一个老者，腹部有一个巨大的窟窿，也幻化出现，一步步走来。

 

It didn’t end there. Somewhere further away was an old man, with a huge cavity in his abdomen, coming into form as he walked towards him step by step.

 

白小纯头皮发麻，倒吸口气，正要后退时，骇然的发现，这里的煞魂绝非三个五个，而是……一群！！

 

Bai Xiaochun’s scalp grew numb as he took a deep breath. He was just taking a step back when he abruptly realized that the evil spirits here weren’t just three or five, but… a whole group!

 

放眼四周，此刻虚无扭曲间，一个又一个的煞魂身影，陆续的出现，每一个煞魂身上，那渴望的目光，都让白小纯面色苍白，有种要被活活撕了的感觉。

 

Taking a broad view of his surroundings, he saw that the space was twisting as evil spirit after evil spirit appeared in succession, all of them with the same urge in their eyes, making Bai Xiaochun go pale with a feeling that he was being torn apart.

 

“怎么会这样！”白小纯欲哭无泪，身体猛地后退，他可不想面对这些煞魂，在这陨剑的世界内，别说是凝气修士了，就算是各宗的长辈，在这煞魂的手中，也有很大的可能陨落。

 

“Why is this happening!” Bai Xiaochun wanted to cry, but no tears came out as he quickly stepped backwards. Never mind a qi condensation cultivator, even the elders of the sects would have huge trouble facing these evil spirits.

 

可就在白小纯后退的瞬间，那些煞魂一个个猛的抬头，有一些发出了一声声尖锐的嘶吼，那嘶吼带着震慑，让四周的煞兽更为颤抖，白小纯全身一震，神智都要模糊，一个踉跄时，只觉得脑海如被一个重锤直接轰击，喷出一口鲜血，吓的浑身发抖，一样尖叫一声，咬着舌尖，借助疼痛清醒，加速逃遁。

 

But the instant Bai Xiaochun moved backwards, all the evil spirits raised their heads and let out a piercing scream, some of them accompanied with shock and awe. The evil beasts trembled as well, and Bai Xiaochun was shaking as his consciousness went blurry. With a stagger, he felt that his mind was hit directly by a hammer. He sprayed out blood from his mouth, terrified to the point where his body was quivering as he screamed, biting his tongue hard to make himself alert with the pain. He immediately started running.

 

他冷汗流下，背后大黑锅内的翅膀，挥舞到了极致，速度之快，刹那间出现了残影，直接远去，可他的速度虽快，但那些游走在虚无中的煞魂，速度更快。

 

As cold sweat dripped down, the wings behind the big black pot waving to the extreme carried him with maximum speed, putting distance between him and the evil spirits that suddenly emerged. He was fast, but the evil spirits that walk within the nothingness, were faster.

 

眨眼间，这四周的数十个煞魂，全部向着白小纯不断地漂浮，越来越近……

 

In a blink of an eye, more than ten evil spirits surrounding Bai Xiaochun were all floating towards him, getting closer and closer…

 

尤其是里面有几个煞魂，速度最快，除了最早出现的半个头颅的身影外，还有一个则是那穿着白色衣服的小女孩，这小女孩一声不发，面色阴冷，唯独目中茫然里，渴望强烈。

 

Some of the evil spirits among them, in particular, were the fastest. Other than the one with half a head, who was the first one to appear, there was a little girl in white clothing, silent. Her face was ghastly cold, with the longing desire in her eyes much stronger and intense.

 

远远的，不少四宗的修士跟随归来，看到了这一幕后，一个个都头皮发麻，其中灵溪宗的弟子，更是焦急，有一些试图去引走那些煞魂，可这些煞魂根本就不理会旁人，只追白小纯。

 

Far away, many of the sects’ cultivators followed, and upon seeing this scene, all went numb. Some of the Spirit River Sect’s disciples were even more worried, some of them trying to distract the evil spirits, to no avail as they chased only after Bai Xiaochun.

 

“杀人了！！”白小纯惨叫，夺命狂奔时，眼泪都快流出了，他没想到自己只不过是炼了吸引煞兽的丹药，不知为什么，居然牵扯出了这些煞魂。

 

“I’m gonna die!” Bai Xiaochun screamed as he ran for his life, tears almost coming out of his eyes. He never expected that the pellets he created for attracting evil beasts would involve these evil spirits as well.

 

“该死的，一定是我刚才炼药时，弄错了什么地方，又炼出了怪丹！”白小纯悲哀，眼看这些煞魂越来越近，一个个疯了一样的追着自己，白小纯一咬牙，忍着心痛，将四枚丹药中的一枚，向着远处狠狠的扔出。

 

“God damn it, there must have been something wrong when I was refining the pellets, I’ve made odd pellets again!” Bai Xiaochun felt miserable. As he felt the evil spirits closing in, madly chasing after him, Bai Xiaochun clenched his jaw and felt a stab of pain in his heart as he fiercely threw out one of the four pellets far away into the distance.

 

就在这丹药扔出的刹那，四周的所有煞魂齐齐一顿，头颅全部抬起，绝大多数改变方向，直奔丹药冲去，使得白小纯终于逃出，到了远处时，他忍着胆颤，回头看了一眼。

 

The moment the pellet was thrown out, all the evil spirits paused in unison, all their heads raised as the vast majority of them changed direction, charging straight for the pellet, allowing Bai Xiaochun time to escape successfully. As he got farther away, he manned up and turned back for a look.

 

这一眼，他看到自己扔出的那枚丹药，在众多的煞魂争夺中，赫然被那个穿着白衣服的小女孩，以突然爆发出的极致速度，直接抢到，一口吞了下去。

 

As he looked, he saw that the pellet he threw was being fought for by the many evil spirits, and surprisingly, it was the little girl in the white clothing that got it in a flash with an explosion of absolute speed. She swallowed it with one gulp.

 

几乎在吞下丹药的瞬间，这小女孩目中的茫然，竟消散了不少，有一丝幽芒闪过，神色更为阴冷，仔细一看，似乎在她的身上，仿佛多出了一些灵动！

 

In the instant that pellet was consumed, the sense of being lost reflected in that girl’s’ eyes faded a lot, and a quiet glow flashed through, it could be seen that her expression grew even colder and gloomier. With a closer and careful look, it was as if there were more qi movements on her body!

 

遥遥的，小女孩转头，与白小纯的目光对望。

 

In the far away distance, the girl turned her head and locked eyes with Bai Xiaochun.

 

二人目光凝聚的刹那，白小纯头皮猛的一炸，耳边传来一个诡异的幽幽之声。

 

As the two locked eyes, Bai Xiaochun’s scalp seemed to explode as a ghostly and spooky sound sounded out from beside his ear.

 

“哥哥，陪我玩吧……”这声音出现，立刻让白小纯全身汗毛都竖起，头也不回的展开全速，疾驰远去。(未完待续。)

 

“Big brother, come play with me…” The voice made Bai Xiaochun’s hairs stand up on its end, and he didn’t even turn his head when he charged away at full speed.
