xiān jiàn lüè wēi yī huǎng ， dùn shí huà wèi qī shí èr dào jiàn guāng ， yào yǎn duó mù ， pū tiān gài dì de cháo zhe mó shé xiān zi kuáng cì guò qù le 。
仙剑略微一晃，顿时化为七十二道剑光，耀眼夺目，铺天盖地的朝着魔蛇仙子狂刺过去了。
The仙剑 flickered slightly, and instantly transformed into seventy-two sword lights that blazed with brilliance. These sword lights surged towards the Demon Serpent Fairy like a deluge.
jīng hū shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， què shì tuì dào yuǎn chù de nà xiē shì nǚ xià dé huā róng shī sè ， lín xuān zhè yī zhāo gěi rén de zhèn hàn tài dà le 。
惊呼声此起彼伏，却是退到远处的那些侍女吓得花容失色，林轩这一招给人的震撼太大了。
A series of alarmed cries echoed as the maidservants who had retreated to a distance were left pale-faced in shock. Lin Xuan's move had been too shocking.
zhǐ wén “ pū pū pū ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà màn tiān fēi wǔ de jiàn guāng suī rán bèi zàn qiě dǎng zhù ， rán ér mó shé xiān zi yě bù hǎo guò ， liǎn sè cāng bái dé yǔ sǐ rén chà bu duō 。
只闻“噗噗噗”的声音传入耳朵，那漫天飞舞的剑光虽然被暂且挡住，然而魔蛇仙子也不好过，脸色苍白得与死人差不多。
The "puff puff puff" sounds filled his ears, but even though the sword lights temporarily blocked her, the Demon Serpent Fairy was not faring well either. Her face was ashen, nearly resembling that of a corpse.
liǎng bǎo lián shǒu ， lì de xiāo hào tài dà le ， nà zhēn zhū ěr huán de biǎo miàn ， yǐ shì liè hén biàn bù ， xiǎn rán zhī chēng bù liǎo duō jiǔ 。
两宝联手，力的消耗太大了，那珍珠耳环的表面，已是裂痕遍布，显然支撑不了多久。
The two treasures working together had consumed too much force; the surface of the pearl earring was already cracked, indicating it wouldn't last long.
cǐ nǚ yín yá jǐn yǎo ， liǎn shàng chōng mǎn le tòng huǐ zhī sè ， zì jǐ zhēn shì tài dà yì le ， míng zhī dào zhè xìng lín de jiā huo lián xiǎo jiàn gē gē yě jì dàn dào jí chù ， wèi shén me hái qīng dí dà yì ne ？
此女银牙紧咬，脸上充满了痛悔之色，自己真是太大意了，明知道这姓林的家伙连小剑哥哥也忌惮到极处，为什么还轻敌大意呢？
This woman gritted her teeth, her expression filled with regret and pain. She had been too careless, knowing that Lin Xuan's little sword brother was also greatly feared by him. Why did she underestimate him so?
kě xī xiàn zài hòu huǐ yě yǐ jīng wǎn le 。
可惜现在后悔也已经晚了。
Unfortunately, it was now too late to feel remorseful.
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò ， nà rǔ bái sè de bǎo hù mó yòu jiān chí le jǐ xī de fū ， zhōng yú zhī chēng bú zhù ， yǒu rú qì pào yì bān de huà wèi le xū wú 。
仿佛布锦被撕破，那乳白色的保护膜又坚持了几息的夫，终于支撑不住，有如气泡一般的化为了虚无。
It seemed as if a fine silk cloth had been torn; the milky white protective layer held on for several more breaths before finally giving way, vanishing like an air bubble.
suí hòu jiàn guāng léi huǒ ， yǒu rú zhǎo dào le qīng xiè kǒu ， jiāng duì fāng zhěng gè bāo guǒ ， sōu sōu yǔ hōng lōng zhī shēng dà zuò ， liǎng zhǒng shēng yīn jiāo zhī zài yì qǐ ， hóng guāng lán máng gèng shì duó mù ， jiāng mó shé xiān zi de zhěng gè shēn xíng ， wán quán yǎn chèn zhù le 。
随后剑光雷火，有如找到了倾泻口，将对方整个包裹，嗖嗖与轰隆之声大做，两种声音交织在一起，红光蓝芒更是夺目，将魔蛇仙子的整个身形，完全掩衬住了。
Following this, the sword lights and thunderfire converged, finding their outlet. They enveloped her completely, producing "whoosh whoosh" and "boom" sounds that intertwined together. The red light and blue glow were so dazzling that they completely obscured the Demon Serpent Fairy's figure.
duǒ wú kě duǒ ！
躲无可躲！
There was no escape!
fáng yù bèi gōng pò ， zài zhè me měng liè de gōng jī xià ， àn lǐ shuō ， yīng gāi méi yǒu shén me xiū shì néng cún huó ， rán ér fán shì zǒng yǒu lì wài de 。
防御被攻破，在这么猛烈的攻击下，按理说，应该没有什么修士能存活，然而凡事总有例外的。
Her defenses had been breached; she would regret this later.
méi yǒu cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè 。
没有惨叫声传入耳朵，林轩的脸上满是凝重之色。
"Boy, it's you who forced me to do this. You'll rue your actions."
tū rán ， tā shén sè yī dòng ， fǎng fú fā xiàn le shén me ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ nuó dào le páng biān ， jī hū zài tóng yī shí jiān ， yī dào rǔ bái sè de guāng zhù cóng tā gāng cái zhàn lì zhī chù chuān kōng ér guò ， lín xuān jī hū shì chā zhī háo lí de duǒ guò 。
突然，他神色一动，仿佛发现了什么，身形一闪，已挪到了旁边，几乎在同一时间，一道乳白色的光柱从他刚才站立之处穿空而过，林轩几乎是差之毫厘的躲过。
The Demon Serpent Fairy said with a bitter expression, her once delicate features now filled with ferocity as she reached into her storage pouch and pulled out a shimmering green符箓.
“ hēng ！”
“哼！”
Her angry expression vanished, replaced by one of solemnity. She held the符箓 high above her head.
lín xuān liǎn sè yī hán ， èr huà bù shuō de tái qǐ yòu shǒu ， yī hēi sè de lì máng cóng zhǐ jiān jī mǎo shè 。
林轩脸色一寒，二话不说的抬起右手，一黑色的厉芒从指尖激冇射。
Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura emanated from the符箓.
nà lì máng jǐn yǒu mǔ zhǐ cū ， rán ér bù lùn sù dù hái shì lì dào dōu lìng rén chēng mù jué bú shì pǔ tōng de wǔ xíng shù kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
那厉芒仅有拇指粗，然而不论速度还是力道都令人瞠目绝不是普通的五行术可以比拟的。
"Lin boy, wonder no more why Little Sword Brother values you so much. I can't defeat you, but what does that matter? No matter how strong you are, can you withstand the talismans passed down by our ancestors?"
mèn hēng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shēn cè bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， kōng jiān bō dòng yì qǐ ， mó shé xiān zi xiǎn xiàn ér chū ， liǎn shàng biǎo qíng mǎn shì jīng nù ， yòu shǒu wǔ zhe zuǒ jiān ， nà ge dì fāng xuè liú rú zhù ， hái hǎo gāng gāng duǒ dé xùn sù ， fǒu zé jiù bù jǐn jǐn shì jiān bǎng shòu shāng ， ér huì bèi mò líng zuān chuān pò tóu lú 。
闷哼声传入耳朵，身侧百余丈远处，空间波动一起，魔蛇仙子显现而出，脸上表情满是惊怒，右手捂着左肩，那个地方血流如柱，还好刚刚躲得迅速，否则就不仅仅是肩膀受伤，而会被墨灵钻穿破头颅。
"Talismans passed down by our ancestors?" Lin Xuan was taken aback and his expression turned grim: "Could it be the Holy Serpent Ancestor?"
tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， yuán běn xiǎng yào duì lín xuān jìn xíng tōu xí ， nǎ xiǎo de zuì hòu ， què yǎn biàn chéng zì jǐ chà diǎn yǔn luò de jié jú 。
偷鸡不成蚀把米，原本想要对林轩进行偷袭，哪晓得最后，却演变成自己差点陨落的结局。
"Indeed," the Demon Serpent Fairy raised her head high with an air of pride. "Boy, if you are wise, submit yourself willingly. Otherwise, I will make sure your death is excruciatingly painful..."
zhè jiā huo ， shì zěn me jiāng zì jǐ zhāo shù kàn chuān de 。
这家伙，是怎么将自己招数看穿的。
"Talismans made by the Holy Serpent Ancestor?" Lin Xuan's face was darkened to the extreme but he would never yield. Even if it were a talisman, he wasn't intimidated by the Ice Soul Ancestor's avatar.
mó shé xiān zi yòu jīng yòu nù ， zài tóng jiē cún zài zhōng ， tā yǐ shì yǒu shù de qiáng zhě fǒu zé gāng cái yě bù kě néng nà me qīng yì jiù miè shā liǎng míng dòng xuán jí bié de cún zài 。
魔蛇仙子又惊又怒，在同阶存在中，她已是有数的强者否则刚才也不可能那么轻易就灭杀两名洞玄级别的存在。
After all, even as true demons, there was a hierarchy among the True Demon Primordial Ancestors; the Holy Serpent was clearly inferior to the Ice Soul.
kě qiáng zhōng zhī hái yǒu qiáng zhōng shǒu ， è rén zì yǒu è rén mó ， yù jiàn zhè lín xuān què fù shǒu fù jiǎo de 。
可强中之还有强中手，恶人自有恶人磨，遇见这林轩却缚手缚脚的。
Of course, this talisman would be much harder to deal with than the Ice Soul's fragment. However, now that he had no choice, what could he do?
bù néng zài yóu yù le ， fǒu zé bié shuō zhuā zhù tā tǎo hǎo xiǎo jiàn gē gē ， zì jǐ kǒng pà jiù yào xiān jiāng xiǎo mìng dā zài zhè lǐ le 。
不能再犹豫了，否则别说抓住他讨好小剑哥哥，自己恐怕就要先将小命搭在这里了。
He would fight!
“ xiǎo zi ， shì nǐ bī wǒ ， yī huì er nǐ huì hòu huǐ de 。”
“小子，是你逼我，一会儿你会后悔的。”
His mind made up, Lin Xuan's expression turned resolute.
mó shé xiān zi yǎo yá qiè chǐ de shuō ， yuán běn hái suàn qīng xiù de wǔ guān liǎn shàng chōng mǎn le zhēng níng zhī sè shēn shǒu wǎng chǔ wù dài zhōng yī mó ， suí hòu shǒu xīn chù jiù duō chū le yī zhāng qīng guāng shǎn shǎn de fú lù 。
魔蛇仙子咬牙切齿的说，原本还算清秀的五官脸上充满了狰狞之色伸手往储物袋中一模，随后手心处就多出了一张青光闪闪的符箓。
On the other side,
cǐ nǚ fèn nù de biǎo qíng xiāo shī le ， qǔ ér dài zhī jìng shì mǎn liǎn de sù róng zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu jiāng zhè fú lù pěng zhe ， gāo jǔ guò dǐng 。
此女愤怒的表情消失了，取而代之竟是满脸的肃容之色，双手将这符箓捧着，高举过顶。
The Demon Serpent Fairy also realized that Lin Xuan wasn't going to yield. In truth, her previous words were somewhat exaggerated; she did indeed hold a talisman crafted by the Holy Serpent Ancestor, but it was merely a defective one. Its power was far less than genuine talismans.
tóng shí ， yī gǔ pēn bó de wēi yā cóng nà fú lù shàng mí sàn ér chū 。
同时，一股喷薄的威压从那符箓上弥散而出。
Nevertheless, as an artifact passed down by their ancestor, taking out a cultivator of the Inner Core stage wouldn't be difficult at all.
“ xìng lín de jiā huo ， guài bù dé xiǎo jiàn gē gē huì jiāng nǐ rú cǐ kàn zhòng ， běn xiān zi dǎ nǐ bù guò ， bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， nǐ zài qiáng néng gòu dǐ dǎng zhù lǎo zǔ zōng chuán xià lái de fú bǎo me ？”
“姓林的家伙，怪不得小剑哥哥会将你如此看中，本仙子打你不过，不过那又如何，你再强能够抵挡住老祖宗传下来的符宝么？”
"Boy, since you're so reckless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
“ lǎo zǔ zōng chuán xià lái de fú bǎo ？”
“老祖宗传下来的符宝？”
The cold voice echoed in his ears as the Demon Serpent Fairy prepared to activate her talisman. However, just then, something unexpected happened.
lín xuān yī è ， suí hòu biǎo qíng yě nán kàn qǐ lái le ：“ nán dào shì bǎo shé shèng zǔ ？”
林轩一愕，随后表情也难看起来了：“难道是宝蛇圣祖？”
A loud rumble came from above, shaking not only the ground but also several miles around. The source of this sound was a valley ahead.
“ bù cuò 。” mó shé xiān zi gāo gāo yáng qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì ào rán zhī sè ：“ xiǎo zi ， nǐ rú guǒ shí xiàng ， jiù guāi guāi de shù shǒu jiù fù ， fǒu zé ， wǒ huì ràng nǐ sǐ dé cǎn bù rěn chí ……”
“不错。”魔蛇仙子高高扬起头颅，脸上满是傲然之色：“小子，你如果识相，就乖乖的束手就缚，否则，我会让你死得惨不忍持……”
Lin Xuan and the Demon Serpent Fairy couldn't help turning their heads. Although there had been lightning strikes in that direction for some time, the recent one seemed much more terrifying than before. Could it be...
“ shèng zǔ suǒ zhì zuò de fú bǎo me ？”
“圣祖所制作的符宝么？”
A faint suspicion arose in Lin Xuan's heart, while the Demon Serpent Fairy's expression mirrored his. Despite her arrogance and pride, she wasn't foolish; as a late Inner Core demon, she had discernment.
lín xuān de liǎn sè què shí yīn mái dào jí chù ， rán ér yòu zěn me kě néng qū fú ， bié shuō fú bǎo nǎi shì sǐ wù ， jiù suàn shì miàn duì bīng pò shèng zǔ de huà shēn tā yě bù céng dǎ chù 。
林轩的脸色确实阴霾到极处，然而又怎么可能屈服，别说符宝乃是死物，就算是面对冰魄圣祖的化身他也不曾打怵。
The heavenly tribulation was almost over!
yào zhī dào jí shǐ tóng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， bǐ cǐ de pái míng ， nà yě shì yǒu gāo xià de bǎo shé míng xiǎn bù jí bīng pò 。
要知道即使同为真魔始祖，彼此的排名，那也是有高下的宝蛇明显不及冰魄。
Both of them simultaneously stopped their actions.
dāng rán ， zhè fú bǎo jué duì bǐ bīng pò de yī lǚ fēn shén nán duì fù dé duō rán ér shì dào rú jīn ， lín xuān yòu nǎ yǒu tuì suō de yú dì ne ？
当然，这符宝绝对比冰魄的一缕分神难对付得多然而事到如今，林轩又哪有退缩的余地呢？
"Will the tribulation be successful or not? If it fails, that would be fine, but if the True Rhinoceros Dragon really succeeds, there will be trouble."
pīn le ！
拼了！
The Demon Serpent Fairy's eyes were filled with concern as she thought this. Lin Xuan had Little Ball to assist him and wasn't afraid of the True Rhinoceros Dragon, yet he seemed to have another plan in mind, his expression strange.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng dùn shí biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩的表情顿时变得坚定起来了。
Thus, due to this small interruption, both Lin Xuan and the Demon Serpent Fairy stopped their actions, preparing to observe the True Rhinoceros Dragon's tribulation.
ér lìng yī biān 。
而另一边。
A loud rumble echoed from the sky as a vast expanse of tribulation clouds surged. Now, they formed a vortex that looked like a skull, though it wasn't exactly one; careful observation revealed it was more akin to a demon's head.
mó shé xiān zi yě kàn chū lín xuān bù yuàn yì qū fú ， qí shí tā gāng gāng suǒ shuō de nà fān huà yě yǒu kuā dà zhī chù ， zì jǐ shǒu zhōng suǒ chí yǒu de shì bǎo shé shèng zǔ zhì zuò de fú bǎo méi cuò ， rán ér què jǐn jǐn shì yī cán cì pǐn bà le 。
魔蛇仙子也看出林轩不愿意屈服，其实她刚刚所说的那番话也有夸大之处，自己手中所持有的是宝蛇圣祖制作的符宝没错，然而却仅仅是一残次品罢了。
Covering several acres, the evil ghost suddenly moved, opening its blood-stained mouth. A black lightning bolt shot out from within, as thick as a man's arm and terrifying to behold. Along with this, dozens of red thunderflames also fell.
wēi lì yǔ zhēn zhèng de fú bǎo xiāng bǐ yào xiǎo dé duō ， bù guò nà yě shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng shì lǎo zǔ zōng chuán xià lái de bǎo wù ， ná xià yī dòng xuán qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jué méi yǒu fēn háo wèn tí de 。
威力与真正的符宝相比要小得多，不过那也是相对来说，不管如何，总是老祖宗传下来的宝物，拿下一洞玄期的修仙者，绝没有分毫问题的。
The scene was truly fearsome; the entire valley was instantly enveloped by it.
“ xiǎo zi ， jì rán nǐ bù zhī sǐ huó ， nà jiù bié guài běn xiān zi là shǒu wú qíng le 。”
“小子，既然你不知死活，那就别怪本仙子辣手无情了。”
The True Rhinoceros Dragon raised its head high, its face filled with exhaustion. It wasn't surprising; resisting the heavenly tribulation for so long would leave anyone drained. The force within its body had already been nearly depleted.
bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， mó shé xiān zi zhèng zhǔn bèi qǐ dòng shǒu zhōng de fú lù ， rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yì biàn tū qǐ le 。
冰冷的声音传入耳朵，魔蛇仙子正准备启动手中的符箓，然而就在此刻，异变突起了。
However, despite this, there was no sign of submission on its face. This terrifying beast seemed to know that this was the final wave of tribulation.
hōng lōng ！
轰隆！
Pass through it, and it would advance to the Spirit Stage; otherwise, all its efforts over tens of thousands of years would be in vain, with a risk to its life. The two enemies were eyeing it hungrily from beside.
yī shēng jù xiǎng cóng tóu dǐng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhěng gè dà dì dōu zài zhèn dòng ， bù …… bù zhǐ shì dì ， shì fāng yuán shù lǐ ， zhěng gè kōng jiān dōu zài chàn dòng 。
一声巨响从头顶传入耳朵，整个大地都在震动，不……不止是地，是方圆数里，整个空间都在颤动。
Roar! The True Rhinoceros Dragon was not only low on energy but also had numerous wounds covering its body. Black blood flowed continuously, yet the injuries were rapidly healing.
ér nà shēng yīn de lái yuán ， zé shì qián fāng de shān gǔ 。
而那声音的来源，则是前方的山谷。
This was the benefit of self-healing; if a regular True Rhinoceros Dragon were here, it would have collapsed long ago.
lín xuān hé mó shé xiān zi dōu rěn bú zhù zhuǎn guò le tóu lú ， suī rán nà ge fāng xiàng ， yì zhí yǒu tiān léi jiàng luò ， dàn gāng gāng nà yī shēng ， míng xiǎn bǐ xiān qián de yào kě pà dé duō ， nán dào shuō ……
林轩和魔蛇仙子都忍不住转过了头颅，虽然那个方向，一直有天雷降落，但刚刚那一声，明显比先前的要可怕得多，难道说……
Soon, the attacks covered the entire valley. With the intense explosions, the valley was soon enveloped by black demonic energy and light, with fierce winds sweeping everywhere. The shockwaves radiated outwards.
lín xuān xīn zhōng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu le cāi cè ， ér mó shé xiān zi de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， cǐ nǚ suī rán jiāo hèng kuáng wàng ， dàn bì jìng bú shì xiōng dà wú nǎo ， zuò wéi dòng xuán hòu qī de mó zú ， dāng rán yě shì yǒu jiàn shí de 。
林轩心中，隐隐有了猜侧，而魔蛇仙子的表情也差不多，此女虽然骄横狂妄，但毕竟不是胸大无脑，作为洞玄后期的魔族，当然也是有见识的。
Wherever they went, rocks seemed to crumble like flour, small mountains turned into tofu, easily flattened in an instant.
tiān jié kuài yào dù wán le ！
天劫快要渡完了！
Lin Xuan gazed at the valley from afar, while the Demon Serpent Fairy did the same. However, both of them remained wary of each other; the atmosphere was so tense that it could explode at any moment.
liǎng rén nǎo hǎi zhōng ， tóng shí yǒu zhè me yí gè niàn tou shǎn guò ， dùn shí dōu jiāng shǒu zhōng de dòng zuò tíng xià lái le 。
两人脑海中，同时有这么一个念头闪过，顿时都将手中的动作停下来了。
After half a cup of tea passed, the smoke and mist gradually dissipated. In front of their eyes, there were no longer any signs of the valley. It seemed as if they had arrived at the bottom of a volcano, with the entire earth melted away.
“ dù jié de jié guǒ rú hé ， rú guǒ shī bài yě jiù bà le ， jiǎ rú dì xī lóng zhēn jiǎo xìng chéng ， nà kě huì shì yí gè dà mǎo má fán de 。”
“渡劫的结果如何，如果失败也就罢了，假如地犀龙真侥幸成，那可会是一个大冇麻烦的。”
The mountains hadn't collapsed; it felt like they had never existed in the first place. The area where the valley once stood was completely melted, and the True Rhinoceros Dragon was submerged in lava. Nearby temperatures were unbearable.
mó shé xiān zi xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， yǎn shén mǎn shì guān zhù ， ér lín xuān yǒu xiǎo máo qiú xiāng zhù ， bìng bù wèi jù dì xī lóng ， rán ér tā de nèi xīn shēn chù ， què lìng yǒu yī fān dǎ suàn lái zhe ， gù ér biǎo qíng yě hěn qí tè ， yǎn zhōng bù tíng de yǒu yì máng shǎn shuò 。
魔蛇仙子心中如此想着，眼神满是关注，而林轩有小毛球相助，并不畏惧地犀龙，然而他的内心深处，却另有一番打算来着，故而表情也很奇特，眼中不停的有异芒闪烁。
Of course, this "high" was relative; for ordinary people, they would have died instantly here, but for cultivators and demons, it wasn't much of a problem. The True Rhinoceros Dragon's skin was thick as leather; it stayed in the lava without any discomfort. How it had withstood that terrifying attack remained a mystery.
yú shì ， yīn wèi zhè me yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de chā qǔ ， lín xuān yǔ mó shé xiān zi bù yuē ér tóng de tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò ， zhǔn bèi xiān kàn kàn dì xī lóng dù jié de qíng kuàng zài shuō 。
于是，因为这么一个小小的插曲，林轩与魔蛇仙子不约而同的停下了手里的动作，准备先看看地犀龙渡劫的情况再说。
However, this wasn't over yet. A wind sound echoed.
hōng lōng ！
轰隆！
The demonic energy around didn't weaken but attracted more from afar.
tiān kōng zhōng ， yǒu dà piàn de jié yún fān yǒng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， gèng shì xíng chéng le yí gè xuán wō ， běn …… bú duì ， bú shì xuán wō ， zhǐ shì kàn shàng qù ， yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， rán ér zǐ xì guān chá ， què gèng xiàng shì yī è guǐ de tóu lú 。
天空中，有大片的劫云翻涌，此时此刻，更是形成了一个漩涡，本……不对，不是漩涡，只是看上去，有几分相似之处，然而仔细观察，却更像是一恶鬼的头颅。
The tribulation clouds in the sky began to surge again.
hán gài zú yǒu shù shí mǔ 。
涵盖足有数十亩。
That giant face started to dissipate.
tū rán ， nà è guǐ yī dòng ， zhāng kāi le xuè pén dà kǒu ， rán hòu yī dào qī hēi rú mò de shǎn diàn cóng zuǐ bā lǐ miàn pēn bó 。
突然，那恶鬼一动，张开了血盆大口，然后一道漆黑如墨的闪电从嘴巴里面喷薄。
No... not dissipating; it transformed into nearly a hundred faces, each smaller and with different features. All of them had fierce expressions, their eyes wide open.
zú yǒu zhàng xǔ lái cū ， kàn shàng qù lìng rén jīng xīn chù mù ， yī tóng là xià de ， hái yǒu shù shí kē léi huǒ ， yě dōu zuò huǒ hóng zhī sè 。
足有丈许来粗，看上去令人惊心触目，一同落下的，还有数十颗雷火，也都做火红之色。
Then, lightning arcs shot out from these faces' mouths and eyes, varying in size. The larger ones were as thick as a man's arm, while the smaller ones resembled children's arms.
nà shēng shì dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhěng gè shān gǔ ， shà shí jiān dōu bèi lǒng zhào zhù le 。
那声势当真是非同小可，整个山谷，霎时间都被笼罩住了。
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as these lightning arcs intertwined, forming a giant web that appeared before his eyes.
dì xī lóng gāo gāo de yáng qǐ tóu lú ， tā de liǎn shàng yě mǎn shì pí juàn zhī sè ， zhè yě shì nán guài de ， tiān jié dǐ kàng le zhè me jiǔ ， rèn shuí yě bú huì hǎo guò ， tǐ nèi lì de xiāo hào ， yǐ jīng shì qī qī bā bā le 。
地犀龙高高的扬起头颅，它的脸上也满是疲倦之色，这也是难怪的，天劫抵抗了这么久，任谁也不会好过，体内力的消耗，已经是七七八八了。
Then, it seemed like some kind of living entity, covering the True Rhinoceros Dragon.
rán ér jí biàn rú cǐ ， tā de liǎn shàng què méi yǒu bàn fēn qū fú ， zhè kě pà de mó shòu sì hū yě xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， yǎn qián de tiān jié huì shì zuì hòu yī bō 。
然而即便如此，它的脸上却没有半分屈服，这可怕的魔兽似乎也心中有数，眼前的天劫会是最后一波。
Postscript: Keep requesting recommendation votes, thank you.
The仙剑 flickered slightly, and instantly transformed into seventy-two sword lights that blazed with brilliance. These sword lights surged towards the Demon Serpent Fairy like a deluge.
"Ahh!"
A series of alarmed cries echoed as the maidservants who had retreated to a distance were left pale-faced in shock. Lin Xuan's move had been too shocking.
The "puff puff puff" sounds filled his ears, but even though the sword lights temporarily blocked her, the Demon Serpent Fairy was not faring well either. Her face was ashen, nearly resembling that of a corpse.
The two treasures working together had consumed too much force; the surface of the pearl earring was already cracked, indicating it wouldn't last long.
Damn!
This woman gritted her teeth, her expression filled with regret and pain. She had been too careless, knowing that Lin Xuan's little sword brother was also greatly feared by him. Why did she underestimate him so?
Unfortunately, it was now too late to feel remorseful.
It seemed as if a fine silk cloth had been torn; the milky white protective layer held on for several more breaths before finally giving way, vanishing like an air bubble.
Following this, the sword lights and thunderfire converged, finding their outlet. They enveloped her completely, producing "whoosh whoosh" and "boom" sounds that intertwined together. The red light and blue glow were so dazzling that they completely obscured the Demon Serpent Fairy's figure.
There was no escape!
Her defenses had been breached; she would regret this later.
"Boy, it's you who forced me to do this. You'll rue your actions."
The Demon Serpent Fairy said with a bitter expression, her once delicate features now filled with ferocity as she reached into her storage pouch and pulled out a shimmering green符箓.
Her angry expression vanished, replaced by one of solemnity. She held the符箓 high above her head.
Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura emanated from the符箓.
"Lin boy, wonder no more why Little Sword Brother values you so much. I can't defeat you, but what does that matter? No matter how strong you are, can you withstand the talismans passed down by our ancestors?"
"Talismans passed down by our ancestors?" Lin Xuan was taken aback and his expression turned grim: "Could it be the Holy Serpent Ancestor?"
"Indeed," the Demon Serpent Fairy raised her head high with an air of pride. "Boy, if you are wise, submit yourself willingly. Otherwise, I will make sure your death is excruciatingly painful..."
"Talismans made by the Holy Serpent Ancestor?" Lin Xuan's face was darkened to the extreme but he would never yield. Even if it were a talisman, he wasn't intimidated by the Ice Soul Ancestor's avatar.
After all, even as true demons, there was a hierarchy among the True Demon Primordial Ancestors; the Holy Serpent was clearly inferior to the Ice Soul.
Of course, this talisman would be much harder to deal with than the Ice Soul's fragment. However, now that he had no choice, what could he do?
He would fight!
His mind made up, Lin Xuan's expression turned resolute.
On the other side,
The Demon Serpent Fairy also realized that Lin Xuan wasn't going to yield. In truth, her previous words were somewhat exaggerated; she did indeed hold a talisman crafted by the Holy Serpent Ancestor, but it was merely a defective one. Its power was far less than genuine talismans.
Nevertheless, as an artifact passed down by their ancestor, taking out a cultivator of the Inner Core stage wouldn't be difficult at all.
"Boy, since you're so reckless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The cold voice echoed in his ears as the Demon Serpent Fairy prepared to activate her talisman. However, just then, something unexpected happened.
A loud rumble came from above, shaking not only the ground but also several miles around. The source of this sound was a valley ahead.
Lin Xuan and the Demon Serpent Fairy couldn't help turning their heads. Although there had been lightning strikes in that direction for some time, the recent one seemed much more terrifying than before. Could it be...
A faint suspicion arose in Lin Xuan's heart, while the Demon Serpent Fairy's expression mirrored his. Despite her arrogance and pride, she wasn't foolish; as a late Inner Core demon, she had discernment.
The heavenly tribulation was almost over!
Both of them simultaneously stopped their actions.
"Will the tribulation be successful or not? If it fails, that would be fine, but if the True Rhinoceros Dragon really succeeds, there will be trouble."
The Demon Serpent Fairy's eyes were filled with concern as she thought this. Lin Xuan had Little Ball to assist him and wasn't afraid of the True Rhinoceros Dragon, yet he seemed to have another plan in mind, his expression strange.
Thus, due to this small interruption, both Lin Xuan and the Demon Serpent Fairy stopped their actions, preparing to observe the True Rhinoceros Dragon's tribulation.
A loud rumble echoed from the sky as a vast expanse of tribulation clouds surged. Now, they formed a vortex that looked like a skull, though it wasn't exactly one; careful observation revealed it was more akin to a demon's head.
Covering several acres, the evil ghost suddenly moved, opening its blood-stained mouth. A black lightning bolt shot out from within, as thick as a man's arm and terrifying to behold. Along with this, dozens of red thunderflames also fell.
The scene was truly fearsome; the entire valley was instantly enveloped by it.
The True Rhinoceros Dragon raised its head high, its face filled with exhaustion. It wasn't surprising; resisting the heavenly tribulation for so long would leave anyone drained. The force within its body had already been nearly depleted.
However, despite this, there was no sign of submission on its face. This terrifying beast seemed to know that this was the final wave of tribulation.
Pass through it, and it would advance to the Spirit Stage; otherwise, all its efforts over tens of thousands of years would be in vain, with a risk to its life. The two enemies were eyeing it hungrily from beside.
Roar! The True Rhinoceros Dragon was not only low on energy but also had numerous wounds covering its body. Black blood flowed continuously, yet the injuries were rapidly healing.
This was the benefit of self-healing; if a regular True Rhinoceros Dragon were here, it would have collapsed long ago.
Soon, the attacks covered the entire valley. With the intense explosions, the valley was soon enveloped by black demonic energy and light, with fierce winds sweeping everywhere. The shockwaves radiated outwards.
Wherever they went, rocks seemed to crumble like flour, small mountains turned into tofu, easily flattened in an instant.
Lin Xuan gazed at the valley from afar, while the Demon Serpent Fairy did the same. However, both of them remained wary of each other; the atmosphere was so tense that it could explode at any moment.
After half a cup of tea passed, the smoke and mist gradually dissipated. In front of their eyes, there were no longer any signs of the valley. It seemed as if they had arrived at the bottom of a volcano, with the entire earth melted away.
The mountains hadn't collapsed; it felt like they had never existed in the first place. The area where the valley once stood was completely melted, and the True Rhinoceros Dragon was submerged in lava. Nearby temperatures were unbearable.
Of course, this "high" was relative; for ordinary people, they would have died instantly here, but for cultivators and demons, it wasn't much of a problem. The True Rhinoceros Dragon's skin was thick as leather; it stayed in the lava without any discomfort. How it had withstood that terrifying attack remained a mystery.
However, this wasn't over yet. A wind sound echoed.
The demonic energy around didn't weaken but attracted more from afar.
The tribulation clouds in the sky began to surge again.
That giant face started to dissipate.
No... not dissipating; it transformed into nearly a hundred faces, each smaller and with different features. All of them had fierce expressions, their eyes wide open.
Then, lightning arcs shot out from these faces' mouths and eyes, varying in size. The larger ones were as thick as a man's arm, while the smaller ones resembled children's arms.
Rumbling sounds filled his ears as these lightning arcs intertwined, forming a giant web that appeared before his eyes.
Then, it seemed like some kind of living entity, covering the True Rhinoceros Dragon.
