bào liè shēng dà zuò ， huò xǔ xiāng duì yú tiān jié ， nà fēi dāo yǔ guāng zhù de wēi néng ， bìng méi yǒu duō me de liǎo de ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， dì xī lóng běn lái jiù hěn chī lì le 。
爆裂声大做，或许相对于天劫，那飞刀与光柱的威能，并没有多么的了得，然而此时此刻，地犀龙本来就很吃力了。
The explosive sound was deafening. While the flying knife and light beam might not have been formidable compared to a heavenly tribulation, they were still an additional blow that made things worse for the Earth Rhino Dragon, which was already struggling. It was like adding insult to injury. The last straw was right before his eyes.
zài shòu dào wài lì de tū xí ， yòng xuě shàng jiā shuāng lái xíng róng yě bù wèi guò ， yā kuǎ luò tuó de zuì hòu yī gēn dào cǎo ， jiù shì yǎn qián zhè zhǒng dào lǐ le 。
再受到外力的突袭，用雪上加霜来形容也不为过，压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草，就是眼前这种道理了。
A sizzling sound entered Lin Xuan’s ears as the pitch-black light barrier finally broke. "To be more precise, it has a gap."
cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà qī hēi rú mò de guāng zhào ， zhōng yú bèi gōng pò “… zhèng què de shuō ， shì chū xiàn yí gè quē kǒu le 。
刺啦声传入耳朵，那漆黑如墨的光罩，终于被攻破“…正确的说，是出现一个缺口了。
The gap wasn’t large, but for the Earth Rhino Dragon, it was fatal. Its defenses had been breached, and the endless lightning and fire immediately flooded in, tearing apart the entire light barrier. A deafening roar echoed through the air, filled with despair and fury.
bìng bù dà ， rán ér duì dì xī lóng lái shuō ， què shì zhì mìng de ， fáng yù chū xiàn le lòu dòng ， màn tiān de léi huǒ ， dùn shí fēng yōng ér rù ， jiāng zhěng gè guāng zhào sī pò ， jīng tiān dòng dì de shòu hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn chōng mǎn le jué wàng yǔ fèn nù 。
并不大，然而对地犀龙来说，却是致命的，防御出现了漏洞，漫天的雷火，顿时蜂拥而入，将整个光罩撕破，惊天动地的兽吼声传入耳朵，里面充满了绝望与愤怒。
"Bad news!"
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
From afar, the Demon Serpent Fairy witnessed this scene firsthand. Her expression changed dramatically as her face turned pale, revealing extreme frustration and regret.
yuǎn chù ， mó shé xiān zi qīn yǎn mù dǔ le zhè yí mù ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yě sà rán biàn le ， huā róng shī sè ， xiǎn de ào nǎo dào jí chù 。
远处，魔蛇仙子亲眼目睹了这一幕，脸上的表情也飒然变了，花容失色，显得懊恼到极处。
She wasn’t upset because she had accidentally injured the Earth Rhino Dragon; rather, she finally understood Lin Xuan’s sinister intentions. This was a case of shifting the blame to others.
tā dāng rán bú shì yīn wèi wù shāng dì xī lóng ér xīn zhōng nán guò ， ér shì …… zhōng yú kuī tàn dào lín xuān de xiǎn è yòng xīn le 。
她当然不是因为误伤地犀龙而心中难过，而是……终于窥探到林轩的险恶用心了。
It was well-known that heavenly tribulations weren't easy to overcome, especially without help from others, as it could have the opposite effect. As more people joined in, the tribulation would become stronger, not just for the one undergoing it but also for anyone interfering with it.
zhè gēn běn jiù shì yí huò jiāng dōng zhī cè 。
这根本就是移祸江东之策。
She had been too careless and unknowingly fell into a trap set by Lin Xuan. The attack she launched was indeed the final straw that broke the Earth Rhino Dragon’s back, while she herself was now targeted by heaven.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， tiān jié kě bú shì nà me róng yì dù guò ， yóu qí shì bù néng ràng rén bāng máng ， fǒu zé huì yǒu shì dé qí fǎn de xiào guǒ 。
众所周知，天劫可不是那么容易渡过，尤其是不能让人帮忙，否则会有适得其反的效果。
This process happened very quickly, leaving no time to think. A buzzing sound filled her ears as the tribulation clouds formed overhead.
suí zhe rén shù de zēng duō ， tiān jié huì biàn dé yù qiáng ， bù jǐn dù jié zhě huì gèng nán guò ， ér qiě gān rǎo tiān jié zhī rén ， yī yàng huì bèi juǎn jìn qù de 。
随着人数的增多，天劫会变得愈强，不仅渡劫者会更难过，而且干扰天劫之人，一样会被卷进去的。
Damn it!
zì jǐ tài dà yì le ， bù zhī bù jué ， jiù luò rù duì fāng bù xià de xiàn jǐng lǐ 。
自己太大意了，不知不觉，就落入对方布下的陷阱里。
The Demon Serpent Fairy wished she could devour and torture Lin Xuan alive. This damned guy was too cunning. However, all she could do was vent her anger by casting a round-shaped treasure in front of her head, which began to spin and grow, completely blocking the light barrier above her.
gāng gāng de gōng jī ， gù rán huì chéng wéi yā kuǎ dì yì lóng de zuì hòu yī gēn dào cǎo ， ér tā zì jǐ ， yě bèi tiān jiè gěi dīng shàng 。
刚刚的攻击，固然会成为压垮地异龙的最后一根稻草，而她自己，也被天界给盯上。
The Demon Serpent Fairy wasn’t just any ordinary cultivator; she was a descendant of the Holy Snake Ancestor, known for her vast collection of treasures. Most cultivators at her level wouldn't prepare such an array of defensive items. However, facing a tribulation of the spirit realm, it was far from easy to resist. Despite the round-shaped treasure being quite good, it clearly couldn’t hold out for long. A mournful sound echoed as the treasure collapsed.
zhè ge guò chéng fēi cháng xùn sù ， gēn běn jiù bú huì liú gěi rén sī kǎo de fū ， zhǐ wén wēng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tóu dǐng de yǐ yǒu jié yún hōng rán chéng xíng le 。
这个过程非常迅速，根本就不会留给人思考的夫，只闻嗡鸣声传入耳朵，头顶的已有劫云轰然成型了。
Fortunately, this result seemed expected by the woman, as she showed no signs of panic on her face. With a flick of her jade hand, a talisman flew out.
kě wù ！
可恶！
This wasn't an ordinary talisman; its intricate patterns included several items: shields, bricks, and even a bandage.
mó shé xiān zi hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān shēng tūn huó lù ， zhè gāi sǐ de jiā huo ， shí zài tài jiǎo zhà le 。
魔蛇仙子恨不得将林轩生吞活录，这该死的家伙，实在太狡诈了。
"Is this...?" Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed in surprise. "Could it be the legendary linked talismans?"
rán ér tā yě jǐn shì xīn zhōng fā hěn bà le ， rú jīn bèi jié yún dīng zhù ， nǎ hái yǒu xīn qíng qù zhuī shā lín xuān ne ？
然而她也仅是心中发狠罢了，如今被劫云盯住，哪还有心情去追杀林轩呢？
Linked talismans were also known as dual-talisman, triple-talisman, or multi-talisman depending on the number of items sealed within them.
nà jié yún yī zhèn fān yǒng ， yě biàn huà chéng le yī kē è guǐ de tóu lú 。
那劫云一阵翻涌，也变化成了一颗恶鬼的头颅。
It was well-known that a talisman was a special kind of paper with part of a treasure’s power sealed into it, allowing other cultivators to temporarily use its abilities. Only those above the Separation Realm could create such talismans due to their immense power, and they were highly sought after by cultivators as rare treasures.
suí hòu yuán zhēng shuāng mù zuǐ bā yě zhāng dé dà dà de ， shà shí jiān fēng rèn 、 léi huǒ ， bīng báo shǎn diàn rú kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ bān de qīng xiè xià lái le 。
随后圆睁双目嘴巴也张得大大的，霎时间风刃、雷火，冰雹闪电如狂风骤雨般的倾泻下来了。
Lin Xuan wasn’t unfamiliar with talismans; he had come across them before and could easily produce them now. However, linked talismans were different. As the name suggested, multiple items’ powers were sealed into a single talisman.
nà shēng shì ， mó shé xiān zi huā róng shī sè ， qiào liǎn yī xià zi biàn dé cǎn bái cǎn bái de 。
那声势，魔蛇仙子花容失色，俏脸一下子变得惨白惨白的。
While it sounded simple in theory, the practical application was extremely challenging. Each item had its unique attributes, and sealing them all on one talisman required great care to avoid conflicts. The failure of such a talisman could be catastrophic; once, a powerful cultivator attempted to create linked talismans but failed spectacularly, blowing himself up.
fāng yuán shù lǐ ， quán bù bèi lǒng zhào zhù ， huàn jù huà shuō ， gēn běn jiù shì duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
方圆数里，全部被笼罩住，换句话说，根本就是躲无可躲。
Thus, without absolute confidence, no one would dare attempt creating linked talismans. Such treasures were so rare that they rivaledprimordial spirit treasurein scarcity, though this was slightly exaggerated. It still highlighted how precious linked talismans truly were.
cǐ nǚ zhǐ néng yī shēng nù hè ， yáng shǒu jiāng yī yuán pán xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù jì chū zài tā tóu dǐng dī liū liū de pán xuán fēi wǔ ， shà shí jiān yíng fēng bào zhǎng qǐ lái le ， jiāng tā tóu dǐng de nà piàn guāng mù ， wán quán zhē dǎng zhù 。
此女只能一声怒喝，扬手将一圆盘形状的宝物祭出在她头顶滴溜溜的盘旋飞舞，霎时间迎风暴涨起来了，将她头顶的那片光幕，完全遮挡住。
Lin Xuan had killed countless cultivators and amassed great wealth, but he had only heard of linked talismans before. He never expected to see them in the Demon Realm.
mó shé xiān zi bù kuì shì bǎo shé shèng zǔ de hòu yì ， kān chēng duō bǎo nǚ ， ruò shì huàn yī míng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， yì bān lái shuō ， kě bù huì zhǔn bèi rú cǐ shù liàng de fáng yù bǎo wù 。
魔蛇仙子不愧是宝蛇圣祖的后裔，堪称多宝女，若是换一名同阶修仙者，一般来说，可不会准备如此数量的防御宝物。
The Demon Serpent Fairy raised her jade hand, and several beams of white light shot out from her fingertips. The talisman immediately ignited on its own as dark demonic energy surrounded it. Shields, bricks, and a bandage-like cloth appeared in mid-air, setting up three layers of defense.
rán ér jìn jiē fēn shén de tiān jié shì hé děng kě pà zhī wù zì rán méi yǒu nà me róng yì jiù néng gòu dǐ dǎng de ， jǐn guǎn nà yuán pán yě shì yī bù cuò de bǎo wù ， rán ér jǐn jǐn chēng le jǐ xī de fū jiù míng xiǎn dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， āi míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yuán pán zhěng gè bēng kuì diào le 。
然而进阶分神的天劫是何等可怕之物自然没有那么容易就能够抵挡的，尽管那圆盘也是一不错的宝物，然而仅仅撑了几息的夫就明显抵挡不住，哀鸣声传入耳朵，那圆盘整个崩溃掉了。
"Sure enough, it lives up to its reputation!"
hǎo zài duì yú zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， cǐ nǚ sì hū zǎo yǐ xiǎo de ， liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu shén me jīng huāng zhī sè ， yù shǒu yī fú yī zhāng fú lù dùn shí fēi lüè ér chū 。
好在对于这种结果，此女似乎早已晓得，脸上并没有什么惊慌之色，玉手一拂一张符箓顿时飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan’s face showed admiration. Talismans had the dual nature of both talismans and treasures, making their activation more complex than ordinary talismans. If you had three talismans while your opponent had a linked talisman containing the same three items, the latter would activate much faster—by several times.
nà kě bú shì pǔ tōng de fú lù ， shàng miàn de huā wén bù jǐn qí tè ， ér qiě hái yī lián huì zhāo shù jiàn bǎo wù ， dùn pái ， bǎn zhuān ， hái yǒu yī zhāng shā bù 。
那可不是普通的符箓，上面的花纹不仅奇特，而且还一连绘着数件宝物，盾牌，板砖，还有一张纱布。
In high-level combat, such small differences could mean life or death. This slight speed advantage was why linked talismans were so valuable and sought after.
“ zhè shì …… lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chī jīng zhī sè ：“ nán dào shì chuán shuō zhōng de lián huán fú bǎo ？”
“这是……林轩瞳孔微缩，脸上露出几分吃惊之色：“难道是传说中的连环符宝？”
After setting up these defenses, the woman wasn’t satisfied. She took a deep breath, and dark demonic energy suddenly surged from her body, enveloping her slender figure. The external air churned violently as sounds of cracking echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears.
suǒ wèi lián huán fú bǎo ， yòu bèi chēng wéi shuāng fú bǎo ， sān fú bǎo ， huò zhě duō bǎo fú bǎo gēn jù lǐ miàn fēng yìn bù tóng shù liàng de bǎo wù ， yīn ér yǒu bù tóng de chēng hū 。
所谓连环符宝，又被称为双符宝，三符宝，或者多宝符宝根据里面封印不同数量的宝物，因而有不同的称呼。
"Why is she doing this?"
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， suǒ wèi fú bǎo ， shì zhǐ bǎ bǎo de yī bù fèn wēi lì fēng yìn dào tè zhì fú zhǐ zhōng ， ràng qí tā xiū xiān zhě yě kě zàn shí shǐ chū gāi bǎo wēi néng de yī zhǒng tè zhì fú lù 。
众所周知，所谓符宝，是指把宝的一部分威力封印到特制符纸中，让其他修仙者也可暂时使出该宝威能的一种特制符箓。
Lin Xuan was taken aback but didn't have time to ponder it. He raised his head, and the silver light in his eyes intensified.
yào lí hé qī yǐ shàng de xiū xiān zhě ， cái kě yǐ zhì zuò ， yīn wèi wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， ér qiě dī jiē xiū xiān zhě yě néng gòu shǐ yòng ， gù ér hěn shòu xiū shì men de zhuī bàng ， bèi chēng wéi kě yù ér bù kě qiú de bǎo wù 。
要离合期以上的修仙者，才可以制作，因为威力非同小可，而且低阶修仙者也能够使用，故而很受修士们的追棒，被称为可遇而不可求的宝物。
The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye became more powerful with Lin Xuan's enhanced strength, easily piercing through the demonic fog.
fú bǎo lín xuān shì bìng bù mò shēng de 。
符宝林轩是并不陌生的。
Soon, Lin Xuan placed a hand on his forehead as he seemed to understand something, looking confident.
Bang!
The explosive sound was deafening. While the flying knife and light beam might not have been formidable compared to a heavenly tribulation, they were still an additional blow that made things worse for the Earth Rhino Dragon, which was already struggling. It was like adding insult to injury. The last straw was right before his eyes.
A sizzling sound entered Lin Xuan’s ears as the pitch-black light barrier finally broke. "To be more precise, it has a gap."
