天煞魔君手一翻，掌心中又多出了一个玉瓶来，众高手的眼里不由闪过一丝诧异，不明白他此举，究竟有何用意。\\
The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. The expressions of the other experts flashed with surprise, unsure of his intentions.
píng sāi dǎ kāi ， zhè cì cóng lǐ miàn dào chū de què shì yī zhǒng huǒ hóng sè de dān yào lái 。
瓶塞打开，这次从里面倒出的却是一种火红色的丹药来。
Opening the stopper, this time what emerged was a fiery red pill.
“ chì yuán dān ！”
“赤元丹！”
"Red Essence Pill!"
fēng léi shàng rén de shēng yīn huà pò kōng qì ， lǐ miàn mǎn hán jīng xǐ ， zhè chì yuán dān suī rán yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ hé tiān chén dān de nì tiān shén xiào xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě shì jí shǎo shù kě yǐ zēng jiā níng dān qī xiū shì gōng lì de líng yào 。
风雷上人的声音划破空气，里面满含惊喜，这赤元丹虽然远远无法和天尘丹的逆天神效相比，但也是极少数可以增加凝丹期修士功力的灵药。
Wind Thunder Senior Patriarch's voice cut through the air, filled with excitement. Although far from matching the miraculous effects of Heavenly Dust Pills, Red Essence Pills were still among the rarest elixirs that could increase the power of Condensation Core Stage cultivators.
xū zhī ， jìng jiè yuè gāo ， duì yú líng yào de xū qiú jiù yuè kē kè ， jīn dān dà chéng yǐ hòu ， kě yǐ zhù zhǎng gōng lì de líng yào dào yě bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo jǐ zhǒng ， shàng gǔ liú xià lái de líng fāng hái shì yǒu shù shí zhǒng zhī duō ， rán ér měi yī zhǒng ， xū yào de yào cái dōu jí qí zhēn guì ， xiǎng yào pèi zhì qí quán ， shí nǎi qiān nán wàn nán 。
须知，境界越高，对于灵药的需求就越苛刻，金丹大成以后，可以助长功力的灵药倒也并非只有寥寥几种，上古留下来的灵方还是有数十种之多，然而每一种，需要的药材都极其珍贵，想要配制齐全，实乃千难万难。
It was known that the higher one’s realm, the more stringent their need for spiritual herbs. After Golden Core completion, there weren’t just a few elixirs that could enhance one's strength; ancient prescriptions left behind still numbered in dozens. However, each required extremely precious ingredients, making it incredibly difficult to prepare them all.
ér zhè chì yuán dān zhèng shì gōng xiào jí dà de yī zhǒng líng yào 。
而这赤元丹正是功效极大的一种灵药。
This Red Essence Pill was indeed an exceptionally effective spirit herb.
jiù suàn jí è mó zūn méi lái ， fēng léi shàng rén yě míng bái ， zì jǐ de xiū wèi zài zhòng rén zhī zhōng ， zhǐ néng qū jū xià yóu ， xiǎng yào qiǎng tiān chén dān duō bàn shì méi xī wàng le 。
就算极恶魔尊没来，风雷上人也明白，自己的修为在众人之中，只能屈居下游，想要抢天尘丹多半是没希望了。
Even if the Extreme Demon Sovereign hadn't appeared, Wind Thunder Senior Patriarch understood his position among these experts and knew that obtaining Heavenly Dust Pills would be a distant hope for him.
bù guò qiáng zhě chī ròu ， nán dào zì jǐ hái bù néng hē tāng me ， zhè chì yuán dān ……
不过强者吃肉，难道自己还不能喝汤么，这赤元丹……
But strong men eat meat; couldn’t he at least drink some soup? This Red Essence Pill...
dāng rán ， bìng fēi rén rén dōu yǒu tā xiǎng dé zhè me jiǎn dān ， tiān shā mó jūn duì zì jǐ zhè xiē rén hèn zhī rù gǔ ， jiāo chū tiān chén dān yǐ qiú huó mìng hái hé qíng hé lǐ ， dàn zhǔ dòng jiāng lìng wài yī zhǒng líng yào xiàn chū lái jiù yǒu xiē guǐ yì ， tā yǒu shén me jiān jì ？
当然，并非人人都有他想得这么简单，天煞魔君对自己这些人恨之入骨，交出天尘丹以求活命还合情合理，但主动将另外一种灵药献出来就有些诡异，他有什么奸计？
Of course, not everyone thought as simply. The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord hated them to the core, so giving up Heavenly Dust Pills in exchange for survival was understandable. But voluntarily presenting another spirit herb was suspicious. What treacherous plot did he have?
méi yǒu rén yuàn yì dāng chū tóu niǎo ， quán dōu mò qì de xuǎn zé le jìng guān qí biàn 。
没有人愿意当出头鸟，全都默契的选择了静观其变。
No one wanted to be the first to act and all chose to observe quietly.
“ nǐ men xiǎng yào tiān chén dān ， zhè jiù ná qù ba ！” tiān shā mó jūn dà xiào shēng zhōng ， tū rán jiāng fēn bié zhuā zhe liǎng zhǒng líng yào de shǒu zhǎng hé zài le yì qǐ ， zhǎng xīn zhōng ， hóng sè de guāng máng shǎn guò 。\\\
“你们想要天尘丹，这就拿去吧！”天煞魔君大笑声中，突然将分别抓着两种灵药的手掌合在了一起，掌心中，红色的光芒闪过。\\\
"Take the Heavenly Dust Pills if you want them!" The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord's loud laughter suddenly combined his hands, which held two different spirit herbs. A red light flashed in his palm.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
"Not good!"
jí è mó zūn fǎn yìng zuì kuài ， liǎn sè dà biàn zhī xià ， bàn gè shēn tǐ hēi wù yíng rào ， hēi wù zhōng zài cì huàn huà chū rú lì guǐ bān de jù zhǎo ， hěn hěn de xiàng tiān shā mó jūn zhuā xià 。
极恶魔尊反应最快，脸色大变之下，半个身体黑雾萦绕，黑雾中再次幻化出如厉鬼般的巨爪，狠狠的像天煞魔君抓下。
The Extreme Demon Sovereign reacted fastest; his face turned pale as half of his body was enveloped by dark mist. Again, a monstrous claw like that of a demon ghost appeared and fiercely lunged at the Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord.
xuè huā bèng jiàn ， mó jūn jū rán lián duǒ de yì si dōu méi yǒu 。 zhí jiē bèi jù zhǎo cóng xiōng táng chuān guò ， rán ér jí è mó zūn méi yǒu sī háo huò shèng hòu de xǐ sè ， liǎn sè yīn chén dào le jí diǎn 。
血花迸溅，魔君居然连躲的意思都没有。直接被巨爪从胸膛穿过，然而极恶魔尊没有丝毫获胜后的喜色，脸色阴沉到了极点。
Blood splattered, but the Demon Lord showed no sign of dodging. He was directly pierced through the chest by the giant claw. However, the Extreme Demon Sovereign showed no joy at his victory; his face was ashen with anger.
“ hē hē lǎo mó ， nǐ zài shén tōng guǎng dà yòu rú hé ， wǒ dé bú dào de ， nǐ yě bié xiǎng yōng yǒu 。”
“呵呵老魔，你再神通广大又如何，我得不到的，你也别想拥有。”
"Haha old demon, even if you are all-powerful, what can you do? I cannot have them, and neither can you."
tiān shā mó jūn zhǔ dòng jiāng shǒu zhōng de líng yào pāo le guò qù ， mó zūn jiē guò ， liǎn sè gèng nán kàn le 。 tiān chén dān yǔ chì yuán dān yǐ jīng bèi tā yòng tiān shā mó huǒ wán quán róng hé ， bù fēn bǐ cǐ ， huàn jù huà shuō ， liǎng zhǒng líng yào hù wéi zá zhì ， chéng wéi fèi dān le 。
天煞魔君主动将手中的灵药抛了过去，魔尊接过，脸色更难看了。天尘丹与赤元丹已经被他用天煞魔火完全融合，不分彼此，换句话说，两种灵药互为杂质，成为废丹了。
The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord threw one of the spirit herbs over. The Demon Sovereign took it, his expression darkening further. The Heavenly Dust Pills and Red Essence Pills had been completely fused by the Heaven-Slaying Demon Fire, making them indistinguishable. In other words, both were impurities and had become waste pills.
zuò wèi yuán yīng qī lǎo guài ， mó zūn chéng fǔ jí shēn ， rán ér cǐ kè què bèi qì dé hún shēn fā dǒu ， shī suàn 。 xiǎng bú dào duì fāng nìng wéi yù suì ， yě bù yuàn wǎ quán 。 qíng yuàn jiāng líng yào huǐ sǔn ， yī pāi liǎng sàn 。
做为元婴期老怪，魔尊城府极深，然而此刻却被气得浑身发抖，失算。想不到对方宁为玉碎，也不愿瓦全。情愿将灵药毁损，一拍两散。
As an old monster of the Core Formation stage, the Demon Sovereign was extremely cunning. However, he was so enraged that his body trembled with shock. He hadn't expected the opponent to prefer destruction over preservation. Willingly destroying the spirit herbs, leaving them in two pieces.
“ shī xiōng ， tiān chén dān wǒ yǐ jīng gěi nǐ le ， yǒu běn shì ， nǐ jiāng tā hé chì yuán dān fēn lí chū lái 。”
“师兄，天尘丹我已经给你了，有本事，你将它和赤元丹分离出来。”
"Brother Senior, I've already given you the Heavenly Dust Pills. If you have any skill, separate it from the Red Essence Pill."
mó jūn xiōng kǒu bèi zhuā chū yí gè dà dòng 。 xuè rú quán yǒng ， rán ér biǎo qíng què shí fēn dé yì ， jiù suàn jīn shēng miè bù liǎo lǎo mó ， néng jiāng tā qì gè bàn sǐ yě suàn shāo shāo chū le yī kǒu xiōng zhōng è qì le 。
魔君胸口被抓出一个大洞。血如泉涌，然而表情却十分得意，就算今生灭不了老魔，能将他气个半死也算稍稍出了一口胸中恶气了。
A large hole was torn through the Demon Lord's chest as blood gushed out, but his expression was smug. Even if he couldn't destroy this old demon in this life, at least he could avenge himself by making him suffer.
mó zūn kàn zhe zhǎng xīn zhōng hóng bái xiàng jiān dì dān yào chū shén 。 yuán yīng qī xiū shì què shí yōng yǒu yí shān dǎo hǎi de shén tōng ， rán ér miàn duì zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， yǔ yì bān de xiǎo xiū shì què yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng 。
魔尊看着掌心中红白相间地丹药出神。元婴期修士确实拥有移山倒海的神通，然而面对这种情况，与一般的小修士却也没有什么不同。
The Demon Sovereign stared at the red and white pills in his palm, lost in thought. Core Formation stage cultivators indeed possessed immense power, but they were no different from ordinary small cultivators when faced with such a situation.
liǎng zhǒng dān yào róng hé zài yì qǐ ， bù fēn bǐ cǐ ， hù wéi zá zhì ， dǎ gè jiǎn dān de bǐ yù ， jiù yǔ liàn fèi le de dān yào xiāng sì 。
两种丹药融合在一起，不分彼此，互为杂质，打个简单的比喻，就与炼废了的丹药相似。
When two spirit herbs were fused together, indistinguishable and impure, it was similar to having ruined pills.
ér fèi dān duì shēn tǐ shì yǒu hài de ， ér qiě yě wú fǎ qù chú zá zhì ， jiāng tā chóng xīn biàn chéng yǒu yòng de líng yào 。 zhè shì xiū zhēn jiè de gòng shí 。
而废丹对身体是有害的，而且也无法去除杂质，将它重新变成有用的灵药。这是修真界的共识。
Waste pills were harmful to the body and could not be purified or transformed back into useful elixirs. This was common knowledge in the cultivation world.
qiān bǎi nián lái 。 bú shì méi yǒu cōng míng cái zhì zhī shì dǎ fèi dān dì zhǔ yì ， rán ér què méi yǒu yí gè rén néng gòu chéng gōng 。
千百年来。不是没有聪明才智之士打废丹地主意，然而却没有一个人能够成功。
For centuries, many clever individuals had attempted to salvage waste pills but none succeeded.
jí è mó zūn suī rán zì shì shèn gāo 。 dàn yě bú shì wú fǎ wú tiān de kuáng ào ， tā zhī dào ， nà xiē cái zhì zhī shì zhōng ， kěn dìng yǒu rén de shén tōng zhì huì zài zì jǐ zhī shàng ， kě duì zhe fèi dān ， yě yī chóu mò zhǎn 。
极恶魔尊虽然自视甚高。但也不是无法无天的狂傲，他知道，那些才智之士中，肯定有人的神通智慧在自己之上，可对着废丹，也一筹莫展。
Although the Extreme Demon Sovereign considered himself highly intelligent, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he was invincible. He knew that among those with greater wisdom and power, there were certainly some who could not handle waste pills either.
“ hǎo hǎo ！” jí è mó zūn nù jí fǎn xiào ：“ shī dì ， nǐ gòu hěn ， bù guò zuò dé zhè me jué ， jiù bù pà wǒ jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn suǐ ma ？”
“好好！”极恶魔尊怒极反笑：“师弟，你够狠，不过做得这么绝，就不怕我将你抽魂炼髓吗？”
"Very well!" The Extreme Demon Sovereign laughed in anger: "Brother Junior, you're quite ruthless. But doing it so thoroughly, are you afraid I'll drain your soul and purify your essence?"
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā de shēn xíng yī xià zi mó hú ， jū rán huà wèi le yī zhāng zhēng níng zhì jí de guǐ liǎn ， xiàng zhe duì fāng pū guò qù le 。
话音未落，他的身形一下子模糊，居然化为了一张狰狞至极的鬼脸，向着对方扑过去了。
Before his words finished, his figure blurred and transformed into a grotesque ghost face, lunging at the opponent.
“ chōu hún liàn suǐ ？ hēng ， bù yòng lǎo guǐ nǐ dòng shǒu le 。”
“抽魂炼髓？哼，不用老鬼你动手了。”
"Drain my soul and purify my essence? Hmph, no need for that old ghost to do it."
tiān shā mó jūn de liǎn shàng háo wú jù sè ， shēn tǐ zhōu wéi zài cì bào shè chū zhàng xǔ zhǎng de hēi máng ， rán ér zhè yī cì jiù bù jǐn jǐn shì wēi shè ， fāng yuán shù lǐ de líng qì dōu fēng kuáng dì xiàng zhe zhè lǐ jù jí 。
天煞魔君的脸上毫无惧色，身体周围再次爆射出丈许长的黑芒，然而这一次就不仅仅是威慑，方圆数里的灵气都疯狂地向着这里聚集。
The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord showed no fear. Black rays shot out from his body, not just as a show of power but also gathering spiritual energy over several miles in an instant.
“ yuán shén zì bào ， tuì ！”
“元神自爆，退！”
"Self-destruct your core, retreat!"
jí è mó zūn liǎn sè dà biàn ， qí tā rén yě jīng dé hún fēi tiān wài ， gè zì huà wèi dùn guāng ， táo xiàng yuǎn fāng 。
极恶魔尊脸色大变，其他人也惊得魂飞天外，各自化为遁光，逃向远方。
The Extreme Demon Sovereign's face turned pale with shock; others were equally terrified and transformed into streaks of light, fleeing to the distance.
hōng ！ yī shēng jù xiǎng ， mó jūn de shēn tǐ yǐ jīng bèi fēng kuáng yǒng rù dì líng lì zhǎng chéng le yí gè yuán qiú ， rán hòu hōng rán zhà kāi ， kě pà de líng lì rú jù fēng yì bān de héng sǎo ， shà shí jiān ， tiān dì biàn sè ， rì yuè wú guāng 。
轰！一声巨响，魔君的身体已经被疯狂涌入地灵力涨成了一个圆球，然后轰然炸开，可怕的灵力如飓风一般的横扫，霎时间，天地变色，日月无光。
Boom! A deafening explosion. The Demon Lord’s body was inflated by surging spiritual energy into a round ball, then exploded violently. Terrifying spiritual energy swept across like a hurricane, darkening the sky and obscuring the sun and moon.
fēng léi shàng rén dùn guāng sù dù zuì màn ， yǎn jiàn bào zhà de wēi lì yǐ jīng bō jí le guò lái ， yī yǎo yá ， jiāng hù zhào dǎ kāi 。
风雷上人遁光速度最慢，眼见爆炸的威力已经波及了过来，一咬牙，将护罩打开。
Wind Thunder Senior Patriarch's streak of light was the slowest; seeing the explosion’s power approaching, he gritted his teeth and opened his protective barrier.
liǎng bǐng xiān jiàn shǎn zhe duó mù dì guāng cǎi ， yóu fǎ bǎo suǒ zhī chēng dì hù zhào àn lǐ shuō yīng gāi shí fēn jiān gù ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què yǒu rú kuáng fēng zhōng de shuǐ pào ， suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng pò miè diào ！
两柄仙剑闪着夺目的光彩，由法宝所支撑地护罩按理说应该十分坚固，然而此刻，却有如狂风中的水泡，随时都有可能破灭掉！
Two divine swords flashed brightly as the shield supported by magical artifacts should have been extremely sturdy. However, it was like a bubble in a storm, about to burst at any moment!
qí tā rén de qíng kuàng yě chà bu duō ， yuán shén zì bào de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ shí táo pǎo yǐ jīng lái bù jí le ， zhǐ néng fàng chū hù zhào ， kǔ kǔ zhī chēng 。
其他人的情况也差不多，元神自爆的威力非同小可，此时逃跑已经来不及了，只能放出护罩，苦苦支撑。
Others were in similar situations. The self-destruction of one's core was formidable; fleeing now was too late. They could only release their barriers and struggle.
ōu yáng qín xīn zhēng kāi yǎn jīng ， tā suǒ fàng chū de jīn sè hù dùn yǐ jīng yáo yáo yù zhuì ， hái hǎo ， rú guǒ wēi lì zài qiáng diǎn ， bù gǎn xiǎng xiàng 。
欧阳琴心睁开眼睛，她所放出的金色护盾已经摇摇欲坠，还好，如果威力再强点，不敢想象。
Ouyang Qinxin opened her eyes; the golden shield she had released was already wobbling. Fortunately, if it became stronger, she couldn't imagine what would happen.
tài bái jiàn xiān gōng lì hái yào shēn yī xiē ， zì rán ān rán wú yàng ， zhì yú léi yún shān zhuāng de shuāng xiū dào lǚ ， suī rán bú shì hěn shàn cháng fáng yù ， dàn tā men yǒu liǎng gè rén ， lián shǒu fàng chū de hù zhào ， yě yǒu jīng wú xiǎn ， shuāng shuāng píng ān 。
太白剑仙功力还要深一些，自然安然无恙，至于雷云山庄的双修道侣，虽然不是很擅长防御，但他们有两个人，联手放出的护罩，也有惊无险，双双平安。
The White Sword Immortal had deeper power and remained unharmed. As for the dual-cultivators of Thunder Cloud Manor, though not skilled in defense, they were two people working together; their shield held firm, both surviving safely.
zhèng dào zhè biān ， zhǐ yǒu fēng léi shàng rén zuì dǎo méi ， běn jiù shì níng dān chū qī ， táo dé yòu màn ， gōng fǎ yě hěn yì bān ， hù zhào pò miè yǐ hòu ， jū rán huó huó de bèi líng lì fēng bào zhà sǐ le 。
正道这边，只有风雷上人最倒霉，本就是凝丹初期，逃得又慢，功法也很一般，护罩破灭以后，居然活活的被灵力风暴炸死了。
Among the orthodox side, only Wind Thunder Senior Patriarch was unlucky. He was still at the early stage of Condensation Core and had fled slowly. His cultivation technique wasn’t very advanced either. After his protective barrier broke, he was killed by the spiritual energy storm.
zhòng rén xī xū bù yǐ 。
众人唏嘘不已。
Everyone sighed deeply.
“ mó zūn ， nín zěn me yàng le ？”
“魔尊，您怎么样了？”
"Demon Sovereign, how are you?"
tū rán ， yī jiāo jí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tīng shēng yīn zhèng shì xuè yāo lǎo zǔ ， zhèng dào gāo shǒu bù yóu yí zhèng ， nán dào jí è mó zūn ……
突然，一焦急的声音传入耳朵，听声音正是血妖老祖，正道高手不由一怔，难道极恶魔尊……
Suddenly, a worried voice entered their ears; it belonged to Blood Demon Ancestor. The orthodox experts were taken aback—could the Extreme Demon Sovereign...
The Heaven-Slaying Demon Lord flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm. The expressions of the other experts flashed with surprise, unsure of his intentions.
Opening the stopper, this time what emerged was a fiery red pill.
"Red Essence Pill!"
Wind Thunder Senior Patriarch's voice cut through the air, filled with excitement. Although far from matching the miraculous effects of Heavenly Dust Pills, Red Essence Pills were still among the rarest elixirs that could increase the power of Condensation Core Stage cultivators.
