第一千八百九十四章五龙玺再显威力
Chapter 1894: The Five-Element Seal Reveals Its Power Again
dú lóng lǎo zǔ shì ruò wú dǔ ， duì fú bǎo de fáng yù ， xìn xīn shí zú 。
毒龙老祖视若无睹，对符宝的防御，信心十足。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor paid no heed to it, confident in the defense of his talisman treasures.
bié shuō qū qū yī míng lí hé qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn hǎi zú liù wáng qí zhì cǐ chù ， néng fǒu jiāng qí zá pò ， yě shì yí gè wèi zhī zhī shù 。
别说区区一名离合期的修仙者，就算海族六王齐至此处，能否将其砸破，也是一个未知之数。
Not even a mere Separation Period cultivator could break through this barrier. Even if all six sea-tribe kings were present here, their chances would be uncertain.
zhè kě wù de xiǎo zi ， jū rán jiāng zì jǐ bī zhì zhè bù tián dì ， dà bù liǎo jiāng zhè jù ròu shēn fàng qì ， zì jǐ yě yào jiāng tā miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
这可恶的小子，居然将自己bī至这步田地，大不了将这具ròu身放弃，自己也要将他灭杀于这里。
This wretched youth had pushed him to such an extent that he was willing to sacrifice his flesh body and kill this young man right here.
bì jìng ròu shēn huǐ le ， duó shě zhī hòu hái kě yǐ chóng xīn huī fù ， dà bù liǎo zì jǐ huí qù hòu bì guān gè sān wǔ bǎi nián ， zǒng zhī jué bù néng liú xià zhè xīn fù dà huàn 。
毕竟ròu身毁了，夺舍之后还可以重新恢复，大不了自己回去后闭关个三五百年，总之绝不能留下这心腹大患。
After all, if the flesh body was destroyed, it could still recover through possession. He would just retreat and seal himself away for a few hundred years at most. He absolutely couldn't leave behind this heartache.
lí hé hòu qī jiù yǒu rú cǐ shí lì ， děng tā jìn jiē dào dòng xuán ， zì jǐ hái néng hún me ？
离合后期就有如此实力，等他进阶到dòng玄，自己还能hún么？
With such power even in the Late Separation Stage, what would he be like when he advanced to Profound Yin?
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ qīng chǔ ， zhè bú shì zhǎng dí rén zhì qì miè zì jǐ wēi fēng ， ér shì yǐ zhè xiǎo zi de chéng zhǎng sù dù ， què shí ràng dú lóng lǎo zǔ gǎn jué dào le kě bù 。
自己的情况自己清楚，这不是涨敌人志气灭自己威风，而是以这小子的成长速度，确实让毒龙老祖感觉到了可怖。
He knew his own situation well; this wasn’t boosting the enemy’s morale while lowering his own. It was simply that this young man's growth rate genuinely frightened him.
wēi jī yào è shā zài méng yá zhōng …… bù ， zhè zǎo yǐ bú shì shén me méng yá ， ér shì tā zuì hòu de jī huì le 。
危机要扼杀在萌芽中……不，这早已不是什么萌芽，而是他最后的机会了。
The crisis must be eradicated at its inception… no, it had long ceased being an initial stage and was now his last chance.
wú lùn rú hé ， bì xū zhuā zhù ！
无论如何，必须抓住！
No matter what, he must seize it!
dú lóng lǎo zǔ zòng héng wàn yú zài ， kān chēng yí dài xiāo xióng ， zhè diǎn yǎn lì ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu dì 。
毒龙老祖纵横万余载，堪称一代枭雄，这点眼力，多少还是有地。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor had roamed for over ten thousand years, considered a great hero of his time. He still possessed some discernment.
hū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà wǔ lóng xǐ yǐ dāng tóu zá luò ， fú bǎo jīn guāng sì shè， biǎo miàn yǒu gè zhǒng shén mì de fú wén fēi lüè ér chū ， pái liè zǔ chéng le yī dào guāng mù ， xiǎn de láo bù kě pò 。
呼的声音传入耳朵，那五龙玺已当头砸落，符宝金光四shè，表面有各种神秘的符文飞掠而出，排列组成了一道光幕，显得牢不可破。
The sound of a deep breath entered his ears as the Five-Element Seal descended upon him. The talisman treasure emitted golden light, with various mysterious runes flying out to form an impenetrable barrier.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ sī háo dān xīn yě wú ， rán ér xià miàn suǒ fā shēng de yí mù ， què ràng tā dǒu rán dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。
毒龙老祖丝毫担心也无，然而下面所发生的一幕，却让他陡然瞪大了眼珠。
Despite his lack of concern, what happened next made his eyes widen in shock.
wǔ lóng xǐ zhuàng xiàng guāng mù ， què sī háo shēng xiǎng yě wú ， nà kàn shì láo bù kě pò de fáng yù ， tū rán mò míng qí miào de bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le 。
五龙玺撞像光幕，却丝毫声响也无，那看似牢不可破的防御，突然莫名其妙的冰消瓦解掉了。
The Five-Element Seal collided with the barrier but produced no sound. That seemingly unbreakable defense suddenly vanished without a trace.
bù …… hái bù jǐn yú cǐ 。
不……还不仅于此。
No… it was even more than that.
suǒ yǒu de fú wén rú wàn liú guī zōng ， bèi xī rù dào le yù xǐ zhī zhōng 。
所有的符文如万流归宗，被吸入到了yù玺之中。
All the runes converged like a myriad streams returning to their source and were absorbed into the jade seal.
nà ge guò chéng ， kě yǐ shuō shí fēn guǐ yì ， rán ér què jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ ér yǐ 。
那个过程，可以说十分诡异，然而却仅仅是开始而已。
The process was extremely strange, but it had only just begun.
jiē xià lái ， gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng zài cì chuán lái ， suí hòu nà shén mì de xiǎo zhōng ， tóng yàng wǎ jiě huà wèi le xū wú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī piàn jīn sè de líng lì 。
接下来，古朴的钟声再次传来，随后那神秘的小钟，同样瓦解化为了虚无，取而代之的是一片金sè的灵力。
Next, an ancient bell sounded, followed by the mysterious small bell disintegrating. In its place appeared a golden aura of essence energy.
hào hàn yǐ jí ， chōng mǎn le shén mì de qì xī 。
浩瀚以极，充满了神秘的气息。
Vast and filled with mystery, it seemed to contain法则power that was also absorbed by the Five-Element Seal.
fǎng fú yùn hán yǒu fǎ zé zhī lì ， suí hòu yě bèi wǔ lóng xǐ gěi xī shōu jìn qù 。
仿佛蕴含有法则之力，随后也被五龙玺给吸收进去。
"What…?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor gaped in disbelief, almost thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him or he hadn’t woken up yet. Everything he saw appeared to be an illusion.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ chēng mù jié shé ， jī hū dōu yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǎn jīng chū le wèn tí ， huò zhě méi yǒu shuì xǐng ， suǒ kàn jiàn de yī qiè quán shì huàn jìng 。
毒龙老祖瞠目结舌，几乎都以为自己眼睛出了问题，或者没有睡醒，所看见的一切全是幻境。
Had he gone mad? That was a先天灵宝!
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， nà kě shì xiān tiān líng bǎo a ！
有没有搞错，那可是先天灵宝啊！
Well, technically, it should have been a talisman made from a fragment of a先天灵宝.
è …… zhèng què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì xiān tiān líng bǎo suǒ zhì zuò de yī zhāng fú lù ， ér qiě shì cán fú 。
呃……正确的说，应该是先天灵宝所制作的一张符箓，而且是残符。
But that didn’t matter; the grade remained intact.
dàn nà yòu rú hé ， bì jìng pǐn jiē shì guǎn zài nà lǐ de 。
但那又如何，毕竟品阶是管在那里的。
Describing its power as incomparable wasn't wrong. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who could easily break through it.
yòng wēi lì wú bǐ lái xíng róng yě bù suàn cuò ， àn lǐ shuō ， zhè yī jiè méi yǒu shén me rén néng gòu qīng yì pò chú 。
用威力无比来形容也不算错，按理说，这一界没有什么人能够轻易破除。
Yet not only was it broken, but it had been shattered to such an extent. The old monster felt a chill. What kind of treasure was the Five-Element Seal?
kě duì fāng bù jǐn pò le ， hái guǐ yì dào rú cǐ dì bù ， lǎo guài wù yǒu xiē xīn hán le ， nà wǔ lóng xǐ ， jiū jìng shì zěn yàng de bǎo wù ？
可对方不仅破了，还诡异到如此地步，老怪物有些心寒了，那五龙玺，究竟是怎样的宝物？
Just as his thoughts turned, he inexplicably felt pain in his chest, causing his blood and qi to surge.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou gāng gāng zhuǎn guò ， què yòu mò míng qí miào de xiōng zhōng yī tòng ， qì xuè fān yǒng 。
脑海中念头刚刚转过，却又莫名其妙的xiōng中一痛，气血翻涌。
Opening his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
zhāng kāi zuǐ lái ， yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū tǐ wài 。
张开嘴来，一口鲜血喷出体外。
Misfortunes never come alone. When the talisman treasures were broken by the Five-Element Seal, that demon python was killed by the Corpse Demon. This wasn’t unusual; a mere soul fragment couldn't stand against an old monster in the Profound Yin stage. The Corpse Demon’s abilities weren’t inferior to those of the Toxic Dragon Ancestor.
wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， dāng fú bǎo bèi wǔ lóng xǐ pò qù ， nà tiáo mó mǎng ， yě sǐ zài le shī mó de shǒu lǐ ， zhè bù xī qí ， qū qū yī yuán shén fēn shēn ， zěn me dí dé guò dòng xuán qī lǎo guài ， nà shī mó de shén tōng ， jiù bù zài dú lóng lǎo zǔ běn tǐ zhī xià de 。
屋漏偏逢连夜雨，当符宝被五龙玺破去，那条魔蟒，也死在了尸魔的手里，这不稀奇，区区一元神分身，怎么敌得过dòng玄期老怪，那尸魔的神通，就不在毒龙老祖本体之下的。
Two consecutive bad news reports left the Toxic Dragon Ancestor stunned, though he had experienced many hardships. He could only bear so much before losing his composure.
jiē lián liǎng gè è hào chuán lái ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ suī rán yě shì lì jīng fēng yǔ de rèn wù ， dàn chéng shòu bì jìng yǒu xiàn dù ， měng le 。
接连两个噩耗传来，毒龙老祖虽然也是历经风雨的任务，但承受毕竟有限度，懵了。
Lin Xuan was elated at this moment; he didn't think about the Five-Element Seal anymore. He raised his Demon Bond Sword high, and a clear ringing sound echoed as another sword strike descended upon the ground below.
ér lín xuān zé huān xǐ yǐ jí ， cǐ shí yě bù qù xiǎng wǔ lóng xǐ de wèn tí ， shǒu zhōng de mó yuán jiàn gāo gāo jǔ qǐ ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yòu shì yī jiàn hěn hěn cháo zhe xià fāng pī luò 。
而林轩则欢喜以极，此时也不去想五龙玺的问题，手中的魔缘剑高高举起，清鸣声传入耳朵，又是一剑狠狠朝着下方劈落。
Silent yet majestic, a grand sword energy appeared out of thin air. The qilin’s shadow appeared in his vision, exuding endless ferocity and once again lunging at the Toxic Dragon Ancestor.
wú shēng wú xī ， yī dào huī hóng de jiàn qì píng kōng ér qǐ ， suí hòu qí lín de xū yǐng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
无声无息，一道恢宏的剑气凭空而起，随后麒麟的虚影出现在视线里。
"No…"
sàn fà chū wú jìn de lì qì ， zài cì xiàng dú lóng lǎo zǔ pū le guò qù 。
散发出无尽的戾气，再次像毒龙老祖扑了过去。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor was shocked into silence. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Not only could he not dodge, but he couldn’t even summon a treasure to defend himself. All he could do was activate his protective essence energy shield.
“ bù ……”
“不……”
But what use would that be? A spirit shield was just a basic five-element spell. Even if an old monster in the Profound Yin stage cast it, its defensive power was limited. Blocking a strike from the Demon Bond Sword was as futile as dreaming.
dú lóng dà jīng shī sè， děng tā fā xiàn de shí hòu yǐ jīng wǎn le ， bié shuō duǒ ， shèn zhì lái bù jí jì chū bǎo wù ， wéi yī néng zuò de jiù shì jiāng hù tǐ líng guāng kāi qǐ 。
毒龙大惊失sè，等他发现的时候已经晚了，别说躲，甚至来不及祭出宝物，唯一能做的就是将护体灵光开启。
The old monster knew this but had no other choice. Being pushed to such a point, he could only make this choice. Whether alive or dead, there was no other way.
rán ér yǒu shén me yòng tú ， líng lì hù dùn shì zuì jī chǔ de wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， jiù suàn shì yóu dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù shī zhǎn ， fáng yù lì yě shì yǒu xiàn de ， xiǎng yào dǎng zhù mó yuán jiàn de yī jī ， nà yǔ chī rén shuō mèng shì méi yǒu fēn háo qū bié dì 。
然而有什么用途，灵力护盾是最基础的五行法术，就算是由dòng玄期老怪物施展，防御力也是有限的，想要挡住魔缘剑的一击，那与痴人说梦是没有分毫区别地。
Boom!
zhè yì diǎn ， lǎo guài wù yě xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， rán ér rén lì yǒu shí ér qióng ， bèi bī dào zhè yī bù ， chú le zhè yàng xuǎn zé ， tā shì zhēn de méi yǒu bié de lù 。
这一点，老怪物也心里有数，然而人力有时而穷，被bī到这一步，除了这样选择，他是真的没有别的路。
A loud explosion filled the air, with faint cries of pain audible. Within a dozen miles, the ferocious qilin swept everything up in its wake. Lin Xuan had intentionally controlled the scale, but the residual shockwave’s power would be unimaginable to ordinary cultivators.
shì sǐ shì huó dōu zhǐ néng zhè me zuò 。
是死是活都只能这么做。
Not far away, that solitary island was no longer submerged by seawater; it was directly blasted into the air.
hōng ！
轰！
Dust and stones scattered everywhere as thick white fog enveloped the area, making it impossible to see five feet ahead. This was due to the high temperatures turning vast amounts of seawater into steam.
bào liè shēng dà qǐ ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn hái yǒu cǎn jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fāng yuán shù shí lǐ ， dōu bèi xiōng bào de qí lín gěi juǎn le jìn qù ， zhè hái shì lín xuān yǒu yì kòng zhì guī mó ， fǒu zé bào zhà de yú bō， wēi lì rú hé ， nà shì yì bān rén hěn nán xiǎng xiàng de 。
爆裂声大起，里面隐隐还有惨叫传入耳朵，方圆数十里，都被凶暴的麒麟给卷了进去，这还是林轩有意控制规模，否则爆炸的余bō，威力如何，那是一般人很难想象的。
But it didn’t matter. Ordinary cultivators might be affected by this, but Lin Xuan had cultivated the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes.
bù yuǎn zhī chù ， nà zuò gū líng líng de huāng dǎo ， zhè yī cì ， bú shì bèi hǎi shuǐ tūn mò ， ér shì zhí jiē bèi zhà fēi diào le 。
不远之处，那座孤零零的荒岛，这一次，不是被海水吞没，而是直接被炸飞掉了。
Silver light flashed in his eyes as everything became clear before him.
ní tǔ suì shí ， sǎ luò dé mǎn tiān dōu shì 。
泥土碎石，洒落得满天都是。
A streak of light entered his vision.
zhōu wéi mí màn qǐ le nóng nóng de bái wù ， shēn shǒu bù jiàn wǔ zhǐ ， nà shì yīn wèi gāo wēn ， jiāng dà piàn de hǎi shuǐ ， quán bù huà wèi le zhēng qì 。
周围弥漫起了浓浓的白雾，伸手不见五指，那是因为高温，将大片的海水，全部化为了蒸气。
Though faint, Lin Xuan could see clearly. Trying to escape was too naive.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， shì xiàn duì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě ， huò xǔ huì chǎn shēng zǔ gé ， rán ér lín xuān què xiū liàn yǒu tiān fèng shén mù 。
不过没有关系，视线对普通修仙者，或许会产生阻隔，然而林轩却修炼有天凤神目。
Raising his right hand, a large expanse of light rushed out from his sleeve, moving at lightning speed and arriving in front of the opponent first.
yǎn zhōng yín máng zhà qǐ ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， jiù quán bù qīng xī de jǐn rù yǎn dǐ 。
眼中银芒乍起，所有的一切，就全部清晰的尽入眼底。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor’s face showed intense fear as he had received a blow from the Demon Bond Sword. However, only his flesh body was destroyed; his essence core still existed. This result was deliberately arranged by Lin Xuan.
yī dào dùn guāng jìn rù dào shì xiàn lǐ 。
一道遁光进入到视线里。
Otherwise, under those circumstances, killing the old monster would have been difficult but not impossible.
hěn wēi ruò ， bù guò lín xuān yī jiù kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， xiàng táo ， tài tiān zhēn le 。
很微弱，不过林轩依旧看得清清楚楚，像逃，太天真了。
A spatial fluctuation occurred as the light condensed in the center. A few dozen feet long, a greenish hand appeared before him, moving swiftly to grab downward.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， dà piàn guāng xiá cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè chū qù ， sù dù fēng chí diàn chè ， hòu fā xiān zhì de lái dào duì fāng de shēn qián le 。
右手抬起，大片光霞从衣袖中飞掠出去，速度风驰电掣，后发先至的来到对方的身前了。
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor’s expression was extremely ugly; he was at his last breath. His essence energy wasn’t nearly depleted; it had completely vanished.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǒng jù zhī sè， jié jiē shí shí de āi le mó yuán jiàn yī jī ， dàn tā yě jǐn jǐn shì ròu shēn bèi huǐ qù ， yuán yīng yī jiù cún liú yú shì ， bù guò zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， yě shì lín xuān kè yì ān pái de 。
毒龙老祖的脸上满是恐惧之sè，结结实实的挨了魔缘剑一击，但他也仅仅是ròu身被毁去，元婴依旧存留于世，不过这样的结果，也是林轩刻意安排的。
Yes, it had completely vanished.
fǒu zé gāng gāng nà zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， zhēn yào jiāng lǎo guài wù miè shā ， suī yǒu nán dù ， què wèi shǐ shì bàn bú dào de 。
否则刚刚那种情况下，真要将老怪物灭杀，虽有难度，却未始是办不到的。
At this moment, the Toxic Dragon Ancestor's essence core floated in mid-air, barely hanging on by a thread. He never imagined falling into such a dire situation.
kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， guāng xiá wǎng zhōng jiān níng jù ， suí hòu yī shù zhàng zhǎng ， qīng méngméng de dà shǒu jiù chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， sī háo tíng xiē yě wú ， hěn hěn cháo zhe xià fāng lāo qù 。
空间bō动一起，光霞往中间凝聚，随后一数丈长，青méngméng的大手就出现在视线里，丝毫停歇也无，狠狠朝着下方捞去。
The only appropriate description was tragic. Facing Lin Xuan’s attack, he couldn’t possibly dodge; he was directly grabbed by that light hand and held in its palm.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ de liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ ， zhè shí hòu yòng qiáng nǔ zhī mò lái xíng róng tā dōu shì tái jǔ ， tā de fǎ lì ， bú shì suǒ shèng wú jǐ ， ér shì gēn běn jiù méi yǒu le 。
毒龙老祖的脸sè难看无比，这时候用强弩之末来形容他都是抬举，他的法力，不是所剩无几，而是根本就没有了。
Many feared death, but the Toxic Dragon Ancestor, despite being an old hero, lacked the courage to burn his boats. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament.
duì ， jiù shì méi yǒu 。
对，就是没有。
Whether fortune or misfortune, the Toxic Dragon Ancestor didn’t know. As long as there was a chance for survival, he wouldn't miss it. Thus, Lin Xuan was surprised by his actions below.
dú lóng lǎo zǔ de yuán yīng ， zhè shí hòu xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， dōu miǎn qiǎng yǐ jí ， hǔ luò píng yáng bèi quǎn qī ， tā zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， zì jǐ huì luò dào zhè bān jìng dì 。
毒龙老祖的元婴，这时候悬浮在半空，都勉强以极，虎落平阳被犬欺，他做梦也没有想到，自己会落到这般境地。
When that streak of light returned, before Lin Xuan could speak or extract his soul, this fellow had already "plop" kneeled down with a servile expression, treating dignity as nothing: "Senior, spare my life! Please be merciful to your juniors. I admit I offended you, but please overlook me like an adult would overlook a child's mistake and let junior go."
Chapter 1894: The Five-Element Seal Reveals Its Power Again
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor paid no heed to it, confident in the defense of his talisman treasures.

He knew his own situation well; this wasn’t boosting the enemy’s morale while lowering his own. It was simply that this young man's growth rate genuinely frightened him.
The crisis must be eradicated at its inception… no, it had long ceased being an initial stage and was now his last chance.
No matter what, he must seize it!
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor had roamed for over ten thousand years, considered a great hero of his time. He still possessed some discernment.
The sound of a deep breath entered his ears as the Five-Element Seal descended upon him. The talisman treasure emitted golden light, with various mysterious runes flying out to form an impenetrable barrier.
Despite his lack of concern, what happened next made his eyes widen in shock.
The Five-Element Seal collided with the barrier but produced no sound. That seemingly unbreakable defense suddenly vanished without a trace.

All the runes converged like a myriad streams returning to their source and were absorbed into the jade seal.
The process was extremely strange, but it had only just begun.
Next, an ancient bell sounded, followed by the mysterious small bell disintegrating. In its place appeared a golden aura of essence energy.
Vast and filled with mystery, it seemed to contain法则power that was also absorbed by the Five-Element Seal.
"What…?"
The Toxic Dragon Ancestor gaped in disbelief, almost thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him or he hadn’t woken up yet. Everything he saw appeared to be an illusion.
Had he gone mad? That was a先天灵宝!
Well, technically, it should have been a talisman made from a fragment of a先天灵宝.
But that didn’t matter; the grade remained intact.
