Chapter 1332

It does not reflect anything, for it itself is the source of the concept of 'reflection'. It hovers silently there, emitting a soft yet vast light; all mirror laws seem to originate from it and ultimately return to it. Approaching it, Yan Buji felt his own mirror chaos rejoicing, as if a wanderer had come home.

Replace Yan Buji with Yan Buji. Translate 'mirror chaos' as 'mirror chaos' and 'like a wanderer returning home' as 'like a wanderer returning home'.

"It does not reflect anything, for it itself is the source of the concept of 'reflection'. It hovers silently there, emitting a soft yet vast light; all mirror laws seem to originate from here and ultimately return here. Approaching it, Yan Buji felt his own mirror chaos cheering and leaping, as if a wanderer returning home."

Make sure single line.

However, just as he was about to touch the mirror core...

Translation: "However, just as he was about to touch the mirror core,"

Attack!

Translation: "Attack!"

A hoarse and sharp shout rang out from behind him!

We need to parse: "A hoarse and sharp shout rang out from behind him!"

In an instant, three extremely terrifying attacks tore through the void, coming from three different directions and simultaneously assaulting Yan Buji!

Translation: "In an instant, three extremely terrifying attacks tore through the void, coming from three different directions and simultaneously assaulting Yan Buji!"

One was a pitch-black shadowy touch, silent and soundless, yet containing the power to corrode souls and strip away light, coming from an ancient shadow demon hidden in the mirror's shadow.

Translation: "One was a pitch-black shadowy touch, silent and soundless, yet containing the power to corrode the soul and strip away light, coming from an ancient shadow demon hidden in the mirror's shadow."

Another was a dazzling, mesmerizing myriad illusion light, capable of stirring inner demons and weaving eternal dreams of perdition, coming from a stunningly beautiful yet empty-eyed phantom mirror spirit.

Translation: "One was a dazzling, deadly alluring myriad illusion divine light, capable of stirring inner demons and weaving eternal sinking dreams, coming from a peerlessly beautiful yet empty-eyed phantom mirror spirit."

The last was a blade of pure void, formed entirely from condensed shattered laws; wherever it passed, space shattered like glass, carrying pure destructive will, coming from a being whose body was composed of countless mirror shards—a law mirror puppet.

Translation: "The last was a blade of void-splitting, purely condensed from shattered laws; wherever it passed, space shattered like glass, carrying pure destructive will, coming from a law mirror puppet whose body was assembled from countless mirror shards."

These three are ancient beings slumbering deep in the Abyss of the Wicked Mirror; each of their powers rivals, if not surpasses, that of the former Mirror Demon Lord. They have lain in wait for this moment, the clamor of the snipe and clam, for the fisherman's gain.

Translation: "These three are all ancient existences slumbering in the depths of the Evil Mirror Hell; each of their powers is not inferior to, and even surpasses, the previous Mirror Demon Lord. They have lain in wait until now, waiting for the moment of the snipe and clam grappling, letting the fisherman profit."

Before the attacks even arrived, that terrifying pressure and lawful seal had already solidified the space around Yan Buji, as if he were trapped in an invisible mire!

Translation: "Before the attacks arrived, that terrifying pressure and law-lock already solidified the space around Yan Buji, as if he had fallen into an invisible mire!"

"I've been waiting for you!"

Translation: "I've been waiting for you!"

Yan Buji's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam; instead of panicking, he revealed a smug smile of a scheme succeeding. He had never truly intended to touch the mirror core; all his earlier urgency and desire were largely a ruse.

Translation: "Yan Buji's eyes flashed with a fierce gleam; not only was he not panicked, he revealed a smug smile of a scheme succeeding! He had never truly intended to touch the mirror core; all his earlier urgency and desire were largely a disguise!"

At the moment the three attacks were about to strike him, the mirror-origin chaos power within Yan Buji erupted explosively!

Translation: "At the moment the three attacks were about to strike his body, the chaos force within him, fused with the mirror's origin, erupted explosively!"

"Chaos Mirror Domain—Myriad Mirrors Return to the Ruins!"

Translation: "Chaos Mirror Domain—Ten Thousand Mirrors Return to the Ruins!"

Centered on Yan Buji, a vaster, more substantial gray-gold domain suddenly expanded! Unlike before, countless chaos mirror shadows linked to his aura instantly appeared within this domain; these shadows were not passive defenses but actively moved to meet the three attacks!

Translation: "Centered on him, a vaster, more substantial gray-gold domain suddenly expanded! Unlike before, countless chaos mirror shadows linked to his aura instantly appeared within the domain! These mirror shadows were not passive defenses but actively moved to meet the three attacks!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Translation: "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The shadowy touch struck a chaos mirror shadow, shattering it, yet most of that shadow's power was reflected and deflected by the mirror shadow, instead winding back to entangle the shadow demon itself!

Translation: "The shadowy touch struck a chaos mirror shadow; the shadow shattered, but that shadowy power was largely reflected and deflected by the mirror shadow, instead winding back toward the shadow demon itself!"

The myriad illusion light plunged into another chaos mirror shadow, which rippled, duplicating and reflecting part of the light into a more ethereal halo that fell back upon the phantom mirror spirit!

Translation: "The myriad illusion divine light entered another chaos mirror shadow; the shadow rippled, actually copying and reflecting part of the divine light into a more elusive halo that fell back upon the phantom mirror spirit!"

The void-splitting blade was the most domineering, successively shattering three chaos mirror shadows, but the shattered laws attached to it were gradually weakened and refracted by the mirror shadows, greatly reducing its power!

Translation: "The void-splitting blade was most overbearing, consecutively cleaving three chaos mirror shadows, yet the shattered laws attached to it were layer by layer weakened and reflected by the mirror shadows, greatly reducing its power!"

Relying on his newly grasped mirror chaos divine ability, Yan Buji single-handedly skillfully deflected and weakened the combined sneak attack of three ancient beings of equal rank!

Translation: "Relying on his newly comprehended Mirror Chaos Divine Ability, Yan Buji single-handedly skillfully deflected and weakened the joint sneak attack of three ancient existences of equal rank!"

Although the domain violently trembled and Yan Buji's qi and blood surged, he ultimately withstood this fatal blow!

Translation: "Although the domain violently trembled and his own qi and blood surged, he ultimately withstood this fatal blow!"

"What?!"

Translation: "What?!"

"He can actually use mirror laws to this extent?!"

Translation: "He can actually apply mirror laws to such an extent?!"

The three ancient beings were both shocked and furious.

Translation: "The three ancient existences were both shocked and furious."

However, just as their old strength waned and new strength had not yet arisen, Yan Buji also seemed to experience a slight stagnation of his qi—

Translation: "However, just as their old force had just spent and new force not yet arisen, and Yan Buji also seemed to have a slight stagnation in his qi—"

An anomaly arose again!

Translation: "An anomaly arose again!"

"Hum——!"

Translation: "Hum—"

A beam of mirror light, far purer and older than any previous force, as if emanating from the dawn of chaos, shot forth without warning from the floating "mirror core"; this light did not attack anyone, but like a sweep, instantly passed over Yan Buji and the three ancient beings!

Translation: "A beam of mirror light, far purer and older than any previous power, as if originating from the dawn of chaos, shot out without warning from the floating 'mirror core'! This mirror light did not attack anyone; like a scan, it instantly swept over Yan Buji and the three ancient existences!"

At the instant the mirror light swept over him, Yan Buji shuddered, feeling as if his soul, his Dao, and even all his secrets had been laid bare; the three ancient beings let out terrified shrieks, their origins seemingly stirred by the light, becoming restless!

Translation: "At the instant the mirror light swept over them, Yan Buji's whole body jolted, feeling as if his soul, Dao, and even all his secrets had been laid bare! The three ancient existences let out terrified screams, as if their origins were stirred by the mirror light, becoming restless!"

Immediately thereafter, the hitherto calm "mirror core" suddenly began to throb violently, like a beating heart; an irresistible force of rejection and purification toward the four "outsiders" surged forth like a tide!

Translation: "Immediately after, the hitherto calm 'mirror core' suddenly began to throb violently, like a beating heart! An irresistible repelling and purifying force aimed at the four 'outsiders' surged forth like a tide!"

"It's the mirror core's instinct! It's rejecting us 'impurities'!" the shadow demon shrieked, its form instantly fading as it tried to flee into shadow, only to find that even shadow was purified by the mirror light.

Translation: "It's the mirror core's instinct! It's rejecting us 'impurities'!" the shadow demon shrieked, its form instantly fading as it tried to flee into shadow, only to find even shadow purified by the mirror light.

"No! We have guarded this place for endless ages, why..." the phantom mirror spirit's face drained of color.

Translation: "No! We have guarded this place for endless ages, why…" the phantom mirror spirit's face turned ashen.

The law mirror puppet further emitted a resentful roar, the mirror plates on its body clattering loudly.

Translation: "The law mirror puppet let out a resentful roar, the mirror shards on its body clattering."

They had reckoned on Yan Buji, but they did not expect that the mirror core possessed its own sentience—or rather, its underlying operational law—fundamentally forbidding those beings long polluted and assimilated by the Wicked Mirror Hell from approaching the core! Yan Buji, this "newcomer", though also fused with the mirror's origin, retained a pure, untainted chaos at his core, and thus the mirror core regarded him as "malleable talent".

Translation: "They had schemed against Yan Buji, never expecting that the mirror core possessed its own sentience, or rather its underlying operational law, which fundamentally would not allow these existences long polluted and assimilated by the Evil Mirror Hell to approach the core! Yan Buji, this 'newcomer', though also fused with the mirror's origin, still had a core that was pure, untainted chaos, and thus the mirror core regarded him as 'moldable talent'!"

And their threefold sneak attack fully triggered the mirror core's defense mechanism!

Translation: "And their threefold sneak attack completely triggered the mirror core's defense mechanism!"

"Good opportunity!"

Translation: "Great opportunity!"

Although Yan Buji too was swept by the mirror light and felt uneasy, he keenly seized this once-in-a-millennium opportunity! The three ancient beings, thrown into disarray by the mirror core's repulsive force, had their defenses wide open!

Translation: "Although Yan Buji also felt discomfort from the mirror light's sweep, he keenly seized this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity! The three ancient existences were thrown into disarray by the mirror core's repelling force, their defenses wide open!"

"Chaos Swallows Heaven!"

Translation: "Chaos Devours Heaven!"

Yan Buji hesitated not, abandoning defense, gathering all his power into his palms, forming two colossal chaos hands that covered the sky; one reached for the nearest shadow demon, the other for the law mirror puppet! He sought to seize this chance, forcibly devouring these two ancient beings to compensate his losses and plunder their power and laws.

Translation: "Without hesitation, he abandoned defense, gathering all his power into his palms, forming two sky-covering chaos giant hands; one reached for the nearest shadow demon, the other for the law mirror puppet! He sought to seize this chance to forcibly devour these two ancient existences, to make up for his losses and plunder their power and laws!"

"How dare you, junior!"

Translation: "How dare you, junior!!"

The shadow demon and the law mirror puppet were shocked and enraged, struggling desperately, yet under the combined pressure of the mirror core's repulsion and Yan Buji's all-out devouring, their resistance proved utterly futile!

Translation: "The shadow demon and mirror puppet were shocked and enraged, struggling desperately, but under the dual pressure of the mirror core's repulsion and Yan Buji's full-force devouring, their resistance proved utterly futile!"

The chaos hands clasped together, unleashing a terrifying devouring force! The shadow demon's shadow essence and the law mirror puppet's shattered laws, like a burst dam, were forcibly drawn away and surged into Yan Buji's body!

Translation: "The chaos giant hands closed, and a terrifying devouring force erupted! The shadow demon's shadow origin and the mirror puppet's shattered laws, like a bursting flood, were forcibly drawn out and surged into Yan Buji's body!"

"Ah——!"

Translation: "Ah—"

A shrill wail echoed within the mirror core's space.

Translation: "A miserable, shrill scream echoed in the mirror core's space."

Meanwhile, seeing the situation turn dire, the phantom mirror spirit unhesitatingly burned its origin, transforming into a stream of light that forcibly broke through part of the mirror core's rejection and madly fled back the way it came!

Translation: "Meanwhile, seeing the situation turn dire, the phantom mirror spirit unhesitatingly burned its origin, turning into a stream of light that forcibly broke through part of the mirror core's repulsion and fled wildly back the way it came!"

Yan Buji glanced over, but did not give chase. The energy and laws gained from devouring the two ancient beings were so immense that he needed to immediately refine them, lest he risk bursting. Moreover, after expelling impurities, the "mirror core" seemed to convey to him a faint sense of... acknowledgment and expectation.

Translation: "Yan Buji glanced at it and did not pursue. The energy and laws gained from devouring the two ancient existences were too vast; he had to refine them immediately, lest he risk bursting. Moreover, after the mirror core expelled the impurities, it seemed to transmit to him a faint… sense of recognition and expectation?"

Yan Buji, while frantically circulating his chaos cultivation technique to refine the absorbed power, slowly turned his head to gaze at the mirror core, which had regained its calm yet seemed to be "watching" him.

Translation: "He frantically circulated his chaos cultivation method to refine the devoured power while slowly turning his head to gaze at the mirror core, which had returned to calm yet seemed to be 'watching' him."

The final opportunity seemed within reach, but he who Devoured the two ancient Existence was not in perfect condition.
