霎时间，天空中灵光狂闪，爆裂声不断，各种宝物的光华更是夺目喧天。
In an instant, the sky was filled with flashes of spiritual light and explosions. The brilliance of various treasures dazzled everyone.
shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， wén tiān chéng de xiū xiān zhě ， dāng rán zhī dào shuí yě bù néng zhì shēn shì wài le ， yīn cǐ dào yě bù cáng zhe yē zhe ， gè chū sǐ lì ， nà xiē jīn rén suī rán xiōng měng ， dàn xiū shì men shù liàng gèng zhòng ， zhǐ bù guò shàng bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě ， dào dǐ yǐ dī jiē de jū duō ， hǎo zài qí zhōng yě bù fá dòng xuán ， shèn zhì fēn shén jí bié de rén wù ， zài tā men de dài lǐng xià ， jīn rén yě zhōng yú chū xiàn shāng wáng le 。
事情到了这一步，闻天城的修仙者，当然知道谁也不能置身事外了，因此倒也不藏着掖着，各出死力，那些金人虽然凶猛，但修士们数量更众，只不过上百万修仙者，到底以低阶的居多，好在其中也不乏洞玄，甚至分神级别的人物，在他们的带领下，金人也终于出现伤亡了。
By this point, the cultivators in Wenti City knew they couldn't stay out of it. They thus fought without holding back, despite the fierce golden figures. Although these golden beings were formidable, there were more cultivators, numbering over a million. However, most of them were at lower stages, and among their ranks were some who had reached the Daoist Profound Realm or even the Spirit Separation stage. Under their leadership, the golden beings finally began to suffer casualties.
“ shā ， yǔ zhè xiē guài wù pīn le 。”
“杀，与这些怪物拼了。”
"Kill! Fight these monsters to the death."
yī xiū shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ shuāng xiū dào lǚ yǔn luò ， bēi fèn zhī xià ， hàn bù wèi sǐ ， yǐ zì bào yuán yīng de fāng shì ， yī rén zhī lì ， jiù jiāng liǎng zūn jīn rén huà wèi le xū wú 。
一修士亲眼目睹双修道侣陨落，悲愤之下，悍不畏死，以自爆元婴的方式，一人之力，就将两尊金人化为了虚无。
A cultivator, witnessing his dual cultivation partner fall, was filled with grief and rage. He self-destructed his essence soul, using his single might to reduce two golden figures to nothingness.
ruò zhēn shì zhòng zhì chéng chéng ， yǐ bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě zhī shù ， lì dí zhè xiē jīn rén ， shèng fù rú hé ， dào hái zhēn shì dà yǒu shāng zhuó ， zhǐ bù guò zài zuì chū de rè xuè zhī hòu ， yī xiē lǎo jiān jù huá zhī tú ， yòu yǎn zhū luàn zhuǎn de zhǔn bèi táo pǎo le 。
若真是众志成城，以百万修仙者之数，力敌这些金人，胜负如何，倒还真是大有商酌，只不过在最初的热血之后，一些老jiān巨猾之徒，又眼珠乱转的准备逃跑了。
If they had united in their resolve, a million cultivators could have fought against these golden beings. The outcome would indeed be hard to predict. However, after the initial surge of enthusiasm, some cunning old hands began plotting an escape.
bì jìng jīn rén yě hěn xiōng měng ， hàn bù wèi sǐ ， zhè me pīn xià qù ， jí shǐ yíng le ， néng gòu huó zhe de yě bù duō ， ér zhòng rén zhī suǒ yǐ zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， zuì chū de mù dì jiù shì zhuī qiú gèng zhǎng de shòu yuán ， zài yǒu xuǎn zé de qíng kuàng xià ， shuí yuàn yì qù dāng pào huī a ？
毕竟金人也很凶猛，悍不畏死，这么拼下去，即使赢了，能够活着的也不多，而众人之所以走上修仙之路，最初的目的就是追求更长的寿元，在有选择的情况下，谁愿意去当炮灰啊？
After all, the golden beings were also fierce and fearless. Even if they won, few would survive. Cultivators initially sought longevity; who wanted to be cannon fodder?
yú shì ， hěn duō xiū shì chǒu zhǔn kòng xì jiù kāi liū le 。
于是，很多修士瞅准空隙就开溜了。
Thus, many cultivators took their chances to flee.
rán ér xiǎng zǒu què yě bú shì nà me róng yì ， tiān yuán hóu de mù dì ， shì xiǎng yào jiāng měi yí gè xiū shì dōu chōu hún liàn pò ， zhè yàng cái yǒu jī huì jiāng zhēn líng zhī xuè zhǎo chū lái ， suǒ yǐ yuè shì liū dé kuài de xiū xiān zhě ， fǎn ér yuè shì róng yì shòu dào jīn rén de gōng jī ， zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， fǎn ér shì yǔn luò dé gèng kuài de 。
然而想走却也不是那么容易，天元侯的目的，是想要将每一个修士都抽魂炼魄，这样才有机会将真灵之血找出来，所以越是溜得快的修仙者，反而越是容易受到金人的攻击，最后的结果，反而是陨落得更快的。
However, leaving wasn't as easy. The goal of Prince Tianyuan was to extract souls and refine spirits from every cultivator to find the true essence blood. Therefore, those who tried to escape quickly were more likely to attract attacks from the golden beings, resulting in faster deaths.
ér zhè yàng hùn luàn de chǎng miàn ， ràng xuán shū shàng rén bó rán dà nù ， liǎn shàng de rú yǎ yī sī yě wú ， è hěn hěn de dèng zhuó yǎn qián jīn guāng shǎn shǎn de lǎo guài wù ：“ jūn hóu zhè me zuò ， shì yì diǎn yě bù jiāng wǒ zhēn jí mén fàng zài yǎn lǐ le ？”
而这样混乱的场面，让璇书上人勃然大怒，脸上的儒雅一丝也无，恶狠狠的瞪着眼前金光闪闪的老怪物：“君侯这么做，是一点也不将我真极门放在眼里了？”
This chaotic scene enraged Xuan Shushangren, whose refined demeanor vanished as he glared at the old golden monster before him: "Does His Excellency think so little of True Apex Sect that he dares to target me?"
“ zhēn jí mén ， hēng ， nà shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“真极门，哼，那是什么东西？”
"True Apex Sect? What is it?"
tiān yuán hóu de liǎn shàng dài zhe bào nüè de xiào yì ：“ lǎo fū qǐ zhǐ shì bù jiāng zhēn jí mén fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， hái yào nǐ jiāng xiǎo mìng ér liú zài zhè lǐ 。”
天元侯的脸上带着暴虐的笑意：“老夫岂止是不将真极门放在眼里，还要你将小命儿留在这里。”
Prince Tianyuan's face was twisted in a cruel smile. "Not only do I not think much of your sect, but you will stay here with your life."
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài hòu nǎo yī pāi 。 shà shí jiān ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ fēi shè chū yī yào mù de guāng tuán ， zhí jìng bàn chǐ yǒu yú ， qí jí ruò diàn ， mù biāo zhèng shì xuán shū shàng rén de shuāng yǎn 。
话音未落，他伸出手来，在后脑一拍。霎时间，从嘴巴里飞shè出一耀目的光团，直径半尺有余，其疾若电，目标正是璇书上人的双眼。
Before his words were fully spoken, he reached out and struck the back of his head. Instantly, a dazzling light ball shot from his mouth, half a foot wide, streaking towards Xuan Shushangren's eyes.
“ kě wù ……”
“可恶……”
"Accursed..."
xuán shū shàng rén yòu jīng yòu nù ， méi xiǎng dào duì fāng xiāo zhāng dào rú cǐ dì bù ， lián zì jǐ yě xiǎng miè shā me ， zhēn jí mén lì pài zì shàng gǔ 。 hái cóng lái méi yǒu bèi rén rú cǐ qīng shì guò 。
璇书上人又惊又怒，没想到对方嚣张到如此地步，连自己也想灭杀么，真极门立派自上古。还从来没有被人如此轻视过。
Xuan Shushangren was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected such arrogance; they wanted to kill him too. True Apex Sect had been founded in ancient times and had never been so lightly regarded before.
zhè lǎo guài wù mò fēi shì nǎo dài huài diào le ， tóng wèi dù jié chū qī ， jiù suàn tā bǐ zì jǐ xiān jìn jí ， zhè shén tōng de chā jù ， yòu néng dào nǎ lǐ ？
这老怪物莫非是脑袋坏掉了，同为渡劫初期，就算他比自己先晋级，这神通的差距，又能到哪里？
Was this old monster mad? They were at the same stage as he, even if he had advanced earlier, what difference did his divine abilities make?
tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， jiù suàn zì jǐ dǎ bù guò ， nán dào tā hái zì xìn néng jiāng zì jǐ liú zài cǐ chù ？
退一万步说，就算自己打不过，难道他还自信能将自己留在此处？
Even if he couldn't defeat them, could he really believe he would keep them here?
zhēn shì bù zhī sǐ huó ！
真是不知死活！
He was truly reckless!
xuán shū shàng rén nù jí fǎn xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hǎo ， hǎo ， běn zūn hái méi yǒu jiàn guò rú cǐ kuáng wàng zhī tú 。 wǒ dào yào kàn kàn ， shì lǎo fū jīn tiān jiāng nǐ zhǎn shā zài cǐ chù ， hái shì nǐ néng gòu shèng guò wǒ ！”
璇书上人怒极反笑的声音传入耳朵：“好，好，本尊还没有见过如此狂妄之徒。我倒要看看，是老夫今天将你斩杀在此处，还是你能够胜过我！”
Xuan Shushangren's voice of rage turned to laughter: "Fine, fine. I have never seen such a brazen fellow. Let’s see who kills whom today!"
huà yīn wèi luò 。 tā yě shì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
话音未落。他也是一指向前点出。
Before his words were fully spoken, he pointed at the golden figure with one finger.
suí zhe qí dòng zuò ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， yī yín sè de guāng tuán fēi lüè ér chū ， lǐ miàn tóng yàng bāo guǒ yǒu yī jiàn bǎo wù ， shì yàng yǔ gāng gāng de jīn lán bǐ lüè yǒu bù tóng ， què shì yī yín guāng shǎn shǎn de láng háo bǐ le 。
随着其动作，破空声大做，一银sè的光团飞掠而出，里面同样包裹有一件宝物，式样与刚刚的金澜笔略有不同，却是一银光闪闪的狼毫笔了。
As he moved, a loud breaking sound echoed as a silver light ball flew out, containing another treasure. Unlike the previous golden pen, this was a silver wolf毫pen.
tā de běn mìng fǎ bǎo kě bù zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， zài jìn jiē dù jié yǐ qián ， hái yǒu yí gè wài hào ， bèi rén chēng zhī wèi shuāng bǐ shū shēng 。
他的本命法宝可不止有一个，在进阶渡劫以前，还有一个外号，被人称之为双笔书生。
He had more than one divine artifact; before ascending to the Tribulation stage, he was known as the Dual Pen Scholar.
chéng míng kào de jiù shì zhè liǎng jiàn bǎo wù 。 wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， qiě gè yǒu bù tóng de shén miào zhī chù 。
成名靠的就是这两件宝物。威力非同小可，且各有不同的神妙之处。
His two treasures were formidable and unique in their own ways.
jīn yín liǎng sè guāng tuán jī zhuàng zài yì qǐ ， lǐ miàn suǒ bāo guǒ de bǎo wù hù xiāng jiāo jī ， shà shí jiān ， lì máng dà zuò 。 liǎng jiàn bǎo wù jiù fǎng fú shì liǎng gè wú dǐ de xuán wō ， fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ， yì diǎn bù shèng de bèi xī le jìn qù ， nà wēi lì ， kān chēng shì wú yǐ lún bǐ 。 měi yī jī ， sì hū dōu néng gòu huǐ tiān miè dì 。
金银两sè光团激撞在一起，里面所包裹的宝物互相交击，霎时间，厉芒大做。两件宝物就仿佛是两个无底的漩涡，附近的天地元气，一点不剩的被吸了进去，那威力，堪称是无以伦比。每一击，似乎都能够毁天灭地。
The gold and silver light balls collided with a tremendous force. The treasures inside struck each other, emitting intense light. The two treasures seemed like bottomless vortexes, sucking in nearby primordial energy. Their power was unparalleled; every strike could destroy the heavens and earth.
zhè me shuō ， huò xǔ shāo wēi kuā zhāng le yī xiē ， dàn dù jié qī xiū shì de jiāo shǒu ， què shí hài rén yǐ jí ， nǎ pà tā men liǎng gè ， dōu jǐn jǐn shì chū qī 。
这么说，或许稍微夸张了一些，但渡劫期修士的交手，确实骇人以极，哪怕他们两个，都仅仅是初期。
Though this description might be slightly exaggerated, the battle between tribulation cultivators was indeed terrifying, even at their early stages.
dǐ xià de xiū shì ， kàn dé shì àn àn zé shé ， zhè yàng de jīng lì ， jué dà duō shuō rén ， yī bèi zi yě bú huì yǒu ， rán ér jiù lín xuān kàn lái ， què méi yǒu duō me liǎo bù qǐ le ， suī rán píng xīn lái shuō ， liǎng rén de zhāo shù ， wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ，jīng wēi ào miào zhī chù ， yě pǒ duō kě quān kě diǎn zhī chù ， rán ér yǔ bù jiǔ qián ， tā suǒ mù dǔ de jīn yuè zhēn chán yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi yī zhàn ， què yòu xiāng chà tài yuǎn 。
底下的修士，看得是暗暗咋舌，这样的经历，绝大多说人，一辈子也不会有，然而就林轩看来，却没有多么了不起了，虽然平心来说，两人的招数，威力非同小可，jīng微奥妙之处，也颇多可圈可点之处，然而与不久前，他所目睹的金玥真蟾与百huā仙子一战，却又相差太远。
The lower cultivators were amazed by what they saw. Such experiences were rare for most people. However, in Lin Xuan's eyes, it wasn't particularly impressive. Despite the power and subtle intricacies of both attacks, they fell short compared to a recent battle he had witnessed between the True Jade True Toad and the Hundred Flower Fairy.
bì jìng yī biān ， zhǐ shì pǔ tōng de dù jié chū qī ， lìng yī biān ， zé shì zhēn zhèng de sān jiè dǐng jí ， zhè zhōng jiān ， hái shì yǒu mò dà de chā jù 。
毕竟一边，只是普通的渡劫初期，另一边，则是真正的三界顶级，这中间，还是有莫大的差距。
After all, one side was just an ordinary tribulation cultivator, while the other was truly a top-tier from the Three Realms. The gap was immense.
lín xuān shèn zhì huái yí ， yǐ bǎi huā xiān zi de kě bù shí lì ， bié shuō yǐ yī dí èr méi yǒu wèn tí ， shèn zhì néng jiāng zhè liǎng gè jiā huo miǎo le qù 。
林轩甚至怀疑，以百huā仙子的可怖实力，别说以一敌二没有问题，甚至能将这两个家伙秒了去。
Lin Xuan even wondered if with the Hundred Flower Fairy's terrifying strength, it wouldn't be hard to defeat both of them in one fell swoop.
zhè fān tuī cè ， yīng gāi méi yǒu duō shǎo kuā dà zhī chù ， dù jié hòu qī ， lín xuān dī shēng niàn dāo zhe ， xīn zhōng xiàn mù bù yǐ ， zì jǐ shén me shí hòu ， cái néng yǒu nà yàng jī hū kě yǐ nì zhuǎn qián kūn de shí lì 。
这番推测，应该没有多少夸大之处，渡劫后期，林轩低声念叨着，心中羡慕不已，自己什么时候，才能有那样几乎可以逆转乾坤的实力。
This speculation wasn't much of an exaggeration; Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he envied the power that could turn the tide of fate. When would he have such abilities?
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān què yòu yǎ rán shī xiào le ， dāng cǐ wēi jī shí kè ， zì jǐ zěn me hái zài hú sī luàn xiǎng ne ？
脑海中念头转过，林轩却又哑然失笑了，当此危机时刻，自己怎么还在胡思乱想呢？
His thoughts turned, and Lin Xuan laughed bitterly. At this critical moment, why was he still daydreaming?
qiě bù shuō rú jīn dí dàng wù zhī jí ， shì rú hé shén bù zhī guǐ bù jué de lí kāi zhè lǐ ， jiù suàn yǐ jīng huà xiǎn wéi yí ， zì jǐ yě yě bù guò cái fèn shén zhōng qī ， jù lí dù jié ， dōu hái yáo bù kě jí ， xiǎng shén me xiào ào sān jiè de shí lì 。
且不说如今的当务之急，是如何神不知鬼不觉的离开这里，就算已经化险为夷，自己也也不过才分神中期，距离渡劫，都还遥不可及，想什么笑傲三界的实力。
Regardless of what needed to be done now—how to leave unnoticed—the fact remained that even if they had overcome the danger, he was only at the Spirit Separation middle stage, far from tribulation. What use were dreams of ruling the Three Realms?
fàn yào yī kǒu yī kǒu de chī ， zuò rén yě shì bù kě yǐ hào gāo wù yuǎn dì ， hái shì xiǎng bàn fǎ zěn me huà jiě yǎn qián de wēi jī 。
饭要一口一口的吃，做人也是不可以好高骛远地，还是想办法怎么化解眼前的危机。
One must eat little by little and not set unrealistic goals. He should focus on finding a way out.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān bù zài duō zuò chí yí ， tóu dǐng shàng de jīng tiān zhàn jú ， yī shí piàn kè ， shì hěn nán fēn chū shèng fù qiáng ruò dì ， tā zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， liǎng yǎn wēi wēi mī qǐ ， kāi shǐ dǎ liàng zhōu wéi hùn luàn de chǎng jǐng ， kāi shǐ xún zhǎo táo pǎo de jī yuán yǔ kòng xì 。
想到这里，林轩不再多做迟疑，头顶上的惊天战局，一时片刻，是很难分出胜负强弱地，他转过头颅，两眼微微眯起，开始打量周围混乱的场景，开始寻找逃跑的机缘与空隙。
With this thought, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. The sky battle was too intense to determine the outcome quickly. He turned his head, squinting as he surveyed the chaotic scene, searching for opportunities to escape.
bù guò zhè bìng bú shì tài róng yì 。
不过这并不是太容易。
This wasn't easy.
shǔ yǐ wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě ， yī jiù qián pū hòu jì ， yǔ nà xiē kě pà de jīn rén jī dòu zài yì qǐ ， fǎ bǎo jīn guāng màn tiān fēi wǔ ， yī sī piàn kè ， hěn nán zhǎo dào kòng xì 。
数以万计的修仙者，依旧前仆后继，与那些可怕的金人激斗在一起，法宝金光漫天飞舞，一丝片刻，很难找到空隙。
Countless cultivators continued their fierce battles with the terrifying golden beings. Divine artifacts and lights flew everywhere, making it hard to find a gap.
zhì yú fán rén ， yě bù zài zuò yǐ dài bì ， lóu yǐ shàng qiě tōu shēng ， gèng hé kuàng shì rén ， jí biàn tā men méi yǒu fēi tiān dùn dì de shí lì ， dàn yě jué bù gān xīn zài zhè lǐ shù shǒu jiù sǐ 。
至于凡人，也不再坐以待毙，蝼蚁尚且偷生，更何况是人，即便他们没有飞天遁地的实力，但也绝不甘心在这里束手就死。
The commoners weren't sitting idly either. Even though they couldn't fly or teleport, they refused to die here without a fight. No matter how difficult or desperate, they sought a way out.
zài jiān nán ， zài kùn kǔ ， tā men yě yào xiǎng bàn fǎ ， zhǎo chū yī tiáo huó lù 。
再艰难，再困苦，他们也要想办法，找出一条活路。
Their reason for doing so was that the golden vortex above had weakened significantly, and Wenti City had returned to the ground.
dāng rán ， fán rén men zhī suǒ yǐ zhè me zuò ， shì yīn wèi tóu dǐng nà jīn sè de xuán wō ， yǐ xī lì dà jiǎn ， wén tiān chéng chóng xīn luò huí dào le dì miàn 。
当然，凡人们之所以这么做，是因为头顶那金sè的漩涡，已吸力大减，闻天城重新落回到了地面。
If it remained in mid-air, they would only be able to watch helplessly as they fell and likely died from the impact.
fǒu zé ， ruò shì zài bàn kōng zhōng ， tā men yě zhǐ yǒu tú huàn nài hé ， tiào xià lái bié de bù shuō ， shuāi yě néng bèi shuāi sǐ le 。
否则，若是在半空中，他们也只有徒唤奈何，跳下来别的不说，摔也能被摔死了。
Now that Wenti City was on the ground again, there was still a chance to fight back.
ér rú jīn ， wén tiān chéng jì rán yǐ jīng huí dào le dì miàn ， nà me ， zé hái yǒu jī huì yī bó 。
而如今，闻天城既然已经回到了地面，那么，则还有机会一搏。
Compared to cultivators, commoners were much more numerous. Including the elderly, women, and children, at least seven or eight million people were fleeing with the young ones.
yǔ xiū shì de shù liàng xiāng bǐ ， fán rén xiǎn rán hái yào gèng duō yī xiē ， lǎo ruò fù rú jiā zài yì qǐ ， qǐ mǎ qī bā bǎi wàn yǒu yú ， cǐ shí dōu yǔ nà xiē qīng zhuàng nián de fán rén yì qǐ ， pīn mìng táo pǎo 。
与修士的数量相比，凡人显然还要更多一些，老弱妇孺加在一起，起码七八百万有余，此时都与那些青壮年的凡人一起，拼命逃跑。
The gates of Wenti City were already open, and countless commoners poured out, crying and wailing in chaos. However, no one tried to stop them.
wén tiān chéng de sì mén zǎo yǐ dà kāi ， yuán yuán bù jué de fán rén cóng lǐ miàn yǒng le chū lái ， kū diē jiào niáng shēng xiǎng chéng yī piàn ， xiǎn de shí fēn hùn luàn ， bù guò hǎo zài dào méi yǒu shōu dào shén me zǔ lán 。
闻天城的四门早已大开，源源不绝的凡人从里面涌了出来，哭爹叫娘声响成一片，显得十分混乱，不过好在倒没有收到什么阻拦。
This was because there weren't enough golden beings; they had their hands full dealing with the cultivators.
In an instant, the sky was filled with flashes of spiritual light and explosions. The brilliance of various treasures dazzled everyone.
By this point, the cultivators in Wenti City knew they couldn't stay out of it. They thus fought without holding back, despite the fierce golden figures. Although these golden beings were formidable, there were more cultivators, numbering over a million. However, most of them were at lower stages, and among their ranks were some who had reached the Daoist Profound Realm or even the Spirit Separation stage. Under their leadership, the golden beings finally began to suffer casualties.
"Kill! Fight these monsters to the death."
A cultivator, witnessing his dual cultivation partner fall, was filled with grief and rage. He self-destructed his essence soul, using his single might to reduce two golden figures to nothingness.
If they had united in their resolve, a million cultivators could have fought against these golden beings. The outcome would indeed be hard to predict. However, after the initial surge of enthusiasm, some cunning old hands began plotting an escape.

This chaotic scene enraged Xuan Shushangren, whose refined demeanor vanished as he glared at the old golden monster before him: "Does His Excellency think so little of True Apex Sect that he dares to target me?"
"True Apex Sect? What is it?"
Prince Tianyuan's face was twisted in a cruel smile. "Not only do I not think much of your sect, but you will stay here with your life."
Before his words were fully spoken, he reached out and struck the back of his head. Instantly, a dazzling light ball shot from his mouth, half a foot wide, streaking towards Xuan Shushangren's eyes.
"Accursed..."
Xuan Shushangren was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected such arrogance; they wanted to kill him too. True Apex Sect had been founded in ancient times and had never been so lightly regarded before.
