that little trinket in your hand...

looks rather familiar!

Senior Brother Chen...

Episode 44 Teacher, Have a Safe Journey

I want you...

dead!

This magical artifact...

actually radiates so much metallic baleful aura!

T/N: 金锐煞气 (Metallic Baleful Aura). A lethal, razor-sharp slaughter energy refined into metal-attribute weaponry, capable of severing protective divine shields and slicing through flesh and bone.

However, if I wish to leave,

I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me!

Think you can leave?

What?!

Damn it!

I never expected...

to actually encounter the legendary Torchlight here!

T/N: 烛照 (Torchlight). A clandestine cross-continental syndicate across the Revered Ancient mainland. Operating in absolute secrecy, they hunt prodigies and collect divine remnants to artificially manufacture godhood.

Word has it that every single member of this syndicate is no ordinary character!

Torchlight?

Torchlight is an infamous syndicate across the Revered Ancient mainland,

T/N: 望古大陆 (Revered Ancient Mainland / Wanggu Continent). The primary world of Beyond the Timescape, a vast continent fractured and mutated by the arrival of the fragmented face of the slumbering god above the heavens.

founded less than a thousand years ago.

According to secret scrolls from the Intelligence Division,

T/N: 情报司 (Intelligence Division). One of Seven Blood Eyes' core specialized bureaus, responsible for espionage, covert surveillance, tracking enemy sects, and archiving mainland intelligence.

Torchlight publicly proclaims...

that joining them...

allows one to share...

the divine destiny to become a god!

T/N: 成神的机缘 (Destiny to Become a God). In this era, true godhood is seen as supreme and unattainable by mortal cultivation. Torchlight tempts desperate experts with heretical methods to steal and fuse divine fragments.

However, the condition for admission...

is supposedly staging a Blood-Soaked Performance.

T/N: 血色表演 (Blood-Soaked Performance). A monstrous initiation rite where candidates must orchestrate massacres or astronomical tragedies to prove their ruthlessness and qualify for Torchlight rank.

The more spectacular the performance,

the higher the standing granted by Torchlight.

Word has it that years ago,

someone in South Phoenix Continent used the opening of the God's Eye as their performance,

causing an entire city to vanish in an instant,

T/N: 神灵睁眼 (Opening of the God's Eye). Whenever the broken face of the god opens its eyes, catastrophic mutagen cascades down, transforming living beings into gruesome abominations or dissolving whole cities into dust.

solely to gain entry into Torchlight.

Causing a city to vanish...

Could it be...

Peerless City?

T/N: 无双城 (Peerless City / Wushuang City). Xu Qing's childhood home in South Phoenix Continent, which was completely obliterated when the god's eye opened, killing his family and setting him upon his harsh survival journey.

Too bad they never approached me.

Otherwise, I would truly love to take a look inside,

and see what this destiny to become a god actually is.

Could it be the path of an Ancient Sovereign or Dominator?

T/N: 古皇主宰 (Ancient Sovereign and Dominator). Legendary supreme cultivation realms from ancient human epochs, representing rulers who united the continent before gods shattered heaven and earth.

Or perhaps...

becoming a true god?

I'm a little skeptical, you know.

I don't believe it either.

What a persistent nuisance!

Nine Nether Blood Wheel High-Grade Defensive Magical Artifact

It seems if I don't slaughter you today,

I won't be able to escape!

Hahaha!

Very well!

Slaying you,

and seizing this supreme-grade magical artifact,

can also be considered a grand harvest!

Then allow me...

to present yet another splendid performance for my master!

Come!

Slaughter to our hearts' content!

Bai Li Ironthread Worm Origin Form

Hahahaha!

This is...

his true form!

Go!

Endless Weapon Dragon High-Grade Magical Artifact Swarm

You...

cannot stop me!

Hundred-Refined Crimson Gold Shield High-Grade Magical Artifact

Is this all the capability you possess?

It seems I overestimated you!

Is that so?

Then let this old man show you...

the colossal grand artifact of my Sixth Peak!

T/N: 第六峰大法器 (Sixth Peak Grand Artifact). Master Sixth, as the premier artifact-forging master of Seven Blood Eyes, transformed the entire mountain of the Sixth Peak into an enormous mobile war fortress.

Come!

Trying to suppress me?!

Suppress!

Master Sixth is actually using the Sixth Peak War Fortress to suppress Bai Li!

T/N: 六峰堡垒 (Sixth Peak War Fortress). Rather than fighting with handheld weapons, Master Sixth teleports and wields the mass and defensive arrays of his whole mountain to crush enemies under raw planetary weight.

Did it succeed?

You truly believe...

you can kill me?!

Let us see whose artifact is superior:

your magical artifact, or my Torchlight god seed!

T/N: 烛照神种 (Torchlight God Seed). An aberrant biological parasite engineered by Torchlight from fallen god remnants. When implanted, it feeds on flesh, souls, and mutagen to awaken terrifying divine abilities.

What?!

Torchlight God Seed Divine Evil Plant

That is...

Divinity!

T/N: 神性 (Divinity). In contrast to corrosive mutagen (异质) which mutates and kills ordinary mortals, divinity is the pristine, primordial divine energy of deities, inspiring awe and possessing immense transformative power.

Indeed.

You truly possess some skill.

I came to a backwater place like yours...

precisely to nurture my god seed.

I never expected that today,

you would force me to deploy this half-completed Lunar Paragon Transformation Pill!

T/N: 尚未成型的太阴化骄丹 (Half-Completed Lunar Paragon Transformation Pill). Concocted using the flesh and discarnate souls of slaughtered human prodigies, fed to the god seed to prematurely boost its combat power.

But no matter.

As long as I slaughter you,

and seize your artifact,

it will be more than enough to offset the loss,

and account for myself to my master!

Father...

Yunxiao!

Your son feels deep remorse for failing to attend you in filial piety...

T/N: 膝下尽孝 (Xī xià jìn xiào: Filial Piety at Knees). A traditional Chinese expression describing children staying beside their aging parents to tend to them dutifully in love and reverence.

Take care...

Hahaha!

truly deeply touching!

You should thank me...

You Torchlight beast!

You refined my son...

then I shall refine you!

Very well!

Then come and try it!

A regeneration divine ability?

T/N: 复生神通 (Regeneration Divine Ability). Bai Li's Ironthread parasite anatomy combined with the Torchlight god seed allows his severed limbs and body to reassemble repeatedly after being cut down.

Sever!

With the Lunar Paragon Transformation Pill empowering my god seed,

T/N: 加持神种 (Empowering the God Seed). Consuming the concentrated vital souls of human prodigies grants the god seed relentless vitality, allowing it to withstand Nascent Soul strikes.

no matter how many times you kill me, it will all be in vain!

until you can regenerate no longer!

Master Sixth!

Little Ah Qing!

Divinity!

T/N: 神性 (Captain's Craving for Divinity). Captain Chen Erniu possesses an insatiable, lunatic desire to consume bizarre divine matter, risking fleshly disintegration for an intoxicating taste of divinity.

It's divinity!

even I am getting tired.

Since you cannot kill me,

then you can die instead!

Divinity!

Divinity!

Divinity!

Hahaha!

I want that divinity!

Lunatic!

Give me the divinity!

Suppress!

Another character of the grand expert!

I actually ate it!

Hahaha!

You little ant!

Words spoken by this old man...

shall never be taken back.

Many thanks, Master Sixth!

You,

will die sooner or later from that mouth of yours!

are contained within this pill.

Your disciple has made them endure a thousand times the agony you suffered before your passing.

T/N: 千倍痛苦 (Thousandfold Agony). Xu Qing's vow of retributive justice for Master Bai, ensuring the culprits who tormented him suffered endless torture before their deaths.

Your disciple knows that before you passed, you forbade me from seeking vengeance...

you would not be able to rest in peace.

time is the fleeting traveler of past and present.

As long as one does not die,

we will eventually meet again.

We will eventually meet again.

Wonder how I compare to Yinghuang Prefecture's top prodigies... [Violet Earth] • Never want to set foot in Violet Earth again (except to sweep Teacher's grave). • Senior Brother and Senior Sister's antics... let's leave that for later. -_- [Teacher's Parting Words] • "Heaven and earth are the inns of all living things; time is the fleeting traveler of past and present. As long as one does not die, we will eventually meet again!" • Could these words foreshadow Teacher's reincarnation? Like the Golden Button Herb, life endures.
