tīng qǐ lái lí pǔ ， dàn bìng fēi bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù 。
听起来离谱，但并非不可能完成的任务。
It sounded outrageous, but it wasn't impossible to accomplish.
jié yún yě shì kě yǐ dǎ sàn de ， zhǐ bù guò nà nán dù ， yuǎn bú shì dān chún de fáng yù kě yǐ bǐ nǐ ， hěn shǎo yǒu xiū shì huì dǎn dà dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
劫云也是可以打散的，只不过那难度，远不是单纯的防御可以比拟，很少有修士会胆大到如此程度。
The劫clouds could be dispersed, though the difficulty was far beyond mere defense. Few cultivators dared to face them with such boldness.
néng píng ān dù jié jiù shāo gāo xiāng le ， hái yǔ tiān jié yìng pèng ， shuō jù bú kè qì de ， nà bú shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ， méi shì ér gù yì zhǎo sǐ me ？
能平安渡劫就烧高香了，还与天劫硬碰，说句不客气的，那不是老寿星上吊，没事儿故意找死么？
Surviving a heavenly tribulation was already considered good luck; facing it head-on was like an old man hanging himself—needlessly seeking death. The cultivation world rarely produced such fools.
xiū xiān jiè hěn shǎo huì chū zhè yàng de chǔn huò 。
修仙界很少会出这样的蠢货。
Lin Xuan did this not out of a sudden burst of temper, but because he had been holding in his anger for too long and needed to vent.
lín xuān cǐ kè zhè me zuò ， zì rán bú shì yī shí de tóu nǎo fā rè ， ér shì xīn zhōng biē zhe yī gǔ huǒ ， zài bù xún zhǎo xuān xiè zhī chù ， zhēn shì yào zhà kāi le 。
林轩此刻这么做，自然不是一时的头脑发热，而是心中憋着一股火，再不寻找宣泄之处，真是要炸开了。
How could he be anything but frustrated? He had prepared thoroughly for the晋级to the 分神后期 stage, with nearly a tenfold chance of success. But at that critical moment, an unexpected heavenly tribulation descended.
nǐ xiǎng ， tā néng bù yù mèn me ？
你想，他能不郁闷么？
This outcome was enough to make Lin Xuan feel depressed, but there was no choice; he had to face it head-on. His strength was clear to him—despite the tribulation, he should still have a good chance.
yuán běn zì jǐ jìn jí jìn dé hǎo hǎo de ， zhǔn bèi chōng zú ， jī hū shì yǒu shí chéng de bǎ wò ， yǐ mǎn xīn huān xǐ yào zuò fēn shén hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
原本自己晋级晋得好好的，准备充足，几乎是有十成的把握，已满心欢喜要做分神后期的修仙者。
But the heavenly tribulation lingered, only striking when his breakthrough was nearly complete yet still pending. Wasn't this deliberately tormenting him?
kě piān piān zài cǐ kè ， nà běn bù gāi jiàng luò de tiān jié ， mò míng qí miào de lái lín liǎo 。
可偏偏在此刻，那本不该降落的天劫，莫名其妙的来临了。
Who did he offend? Even the heavens weren't playing with him like that.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， yǐ gòu ràng lín xuān yù mèn le ， dàn yù jiàn le yě méi bàn fǎ ， yào lái jiù lái ba 。
如此结果，已够让林轩郁闷了，但遇见了也没办法，要来就来吧。
Despite his anger, Lin Xuan couldn’t afford to be careless in such a situation. He gritted his teeth and prepared for battle.
hǎo zài zì jǐ de shí lì ， zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， jí biàn yī biān jìn jí ， yī biān dù jié ， yīng gāi yě yǒu bù xiǎo de bǎ wò 。
好在自己的实力，自己最清楚，即便一边晋级，一边渡劫，应该也有不小的把握。
The tribulation lightning fell like a storm. As they say, one doesn't need to have eaten pork to know what it looks like; the tribulation of a 分神期 cultivator was nothing like this!
kě nà tiān jié piān piān chí chí bù luò ， zuì hòu tiāo zhòng le zì jǐ píng jǐng jiāng pò què piān piān wèi pò de shí kè 。
可那天劫偏偏迟迟不落，最后挑中了自己瓶颈将破却偏偏未破的时刻。
Lin Xuan pushed through his bottleneck while expending all his energy, even using the玄天灵宝. After several waves, he couldn’t hold on any longer.
nǐ shuō ， zhè bú shì gù yì qī fù rén me ？
你说，这不是故意欺负人么？
Considering the pros and cons, he had no choice but to pause his晋级. This filled him with rage.
zì jǐ zhāo shuí rě shuí le 。
自己招谁惹谁了。
This heavenly tribulation was too strange; Lin Xuan didn't know which great cultivator he offended. Regardless of who it was, this time, they thoroughly infuriated him.
jiù suàn lǎo tiān yé yě bù dài zhè yàng jiāng zì jǐ dāng hóu zi wán de 。
就算老天爷也不带这样将自己当猴子玩的。
He wanted to die under a heavenly tribulation? Fine, let's see how powerful the 九宫须臾剑 is.
kě lín xuān nù guī nù ， xíng shì què yóu bù dé tā mǎ hǔ ， hái shì zhǐ yǒu yǎo yǎo yá ， rěn le 。
可林轩怒归怒，形势却由不得他马虎，还是只有咬咬牙，忍了。
Lin Xuan waved his hands, casting intricate spells that spread outwards. Suddenly, the sword lights transformed into dragons. Some were covered in scarlet scales, others in azure ones. More surprisingly, as they moved, a sizzling sound emerged from their claws and fangs, revealing electric arcs.
suí hòu nà jié léi biàn rú kuáng fēng bào yǔ bān de wǎng xià luò 。
随后那劫雷便如狂风暴雨般的往下落。
The first two were ice dragons and fire dragons, while the last was a lightning dragon. Ice, fire, and lightning—perfectly matching the 九宫须臾剑's attributes.
sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu zǒng jiàn guò zhū pǎo ， fēn shén qī xiū shì gāi jīng lì de tiān jié ， nǎ ér yǒu zhè yàng lì hài de a ！
俗话说，没吃过猪肉总见过猪跑，分神期修士该经历的天劫，哪儿有这样厉害的啊！
These three dragons roared and writhed, not inferior to the heavenly tribulation in any way. Lin Xuan had truly unleashed his hidden techniques.
lín xuān yī biān chōng jī píng jǐng ， yī biān shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， lián xuán tiān líng bǎo ， dōu yòng chū lái le ， rán ér dǎng xià le jǐ bō ， zuì hòu hái shì zhī chēng bú zhù 。
林轩一边冲击瓶颈，一边使尽浑身解数，连玄天灵宝，都用出来了，然而挡下了几波，最后还是支撑不住。
He mastered 百龙之牙 early on, but its current power far exceeded what it used to be. After all, it wasn't a simple five-element spell; it relied on his own本命法宝to unleash, and its effectiveness was constrained by two factors: his strength and the material of the weapon itself.
quán héng lì bì ， zuì hòu zhǐ néng zàn tíng jìn jí ， rú cǐ yī lái ， tā de xīn zhōng zì rán shì chōng mǎn le nù qì 。
权衡利弊，最后只能暂停晋级，如此一来，他的心中自然是充满了怒气。
Lin Xuan's strength had surged dramatically through luck and effort. The 九宫须臾剑 incorporated countless rare treasures, even exotic materials like域外天金and 幻阴魔花, which made it incredibly powerful.
zhè huí tiān jié lái de guǐ yì ， lín xuān yě bù zhī dào zì jǐ jiū jìng dé zuì le nǎ wèi dà néng le ， dàn bù guǎn shì shuí ， zhè yī cì ， dōu jiāng tā chè dǐ rě máo le 。
这回天劫来得诡异，林轩也不知道自己究竟得罪了哪位大能了，但不管是谁，这一次，都将他彻底惹毛了。
With both factors working in tandem, there was no need to elaborate on how formidable the 百龙之牙 was.
xiǎng ràng zì jǐ zài tiān jié xià shēn sǐ ， hǎo ， nà jiù lái shì yī shì 。
想让自己在天劫下身死，好，那就来试一试。
Lin Xuan's hands continued to move through the air, pouring more energy into his treasure. With no worries about晋级, he had an abundance of power.
lín xuān yě shì biē zhe yī kǒu yuàn qì ， suǒ yǐ cái cǎi yòng le zhè me jī liè de fāng shì ， sī háo méi yǒu huí bì de yì tú ， zhǔn bèi yǔ tiān jié lái gè yìng pèng 。
林轩也是憋着一口怨气，所以才采用了这么激烈的方式，丝毫没有回避的意图，准备与天劫来个硬碰。
Roar!
jié léi hěn qiáng me ， hǎo ， nà ， jiù ràng tā shì yī shì zì jǐ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì yòu rú hé 。
劫雷很强么，好，那，就让他试一试自己九宫须臾剑的威力又如何。
The dragon's roar echoed as the three different dragons charged towards the heavens.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， yī dào dào xuán miào yì cháng de fǎ jué dǎ chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà xiē jiàn guāng xiàng zhe sì zhōu yán zhǎn ， jǐn jiē zhe ， gèng fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà xiē jiàn guāng lā shēn bào zhǎng ， yuè lái yuè liàng ， zuì hòu jìng biàn huà chū le yī tóu tóu de jiāo lóng mú yàng 。
林轩双手挥舞，一道道玄妙异常的法诀打出，随着他的动作，那些剑光向着四周延展，紧接着，更发生了不可思议的一幕，那些剑光拉伸暴涨，越来越亮，最后竟变化出了一头头的蛟龙模样。
How could heavenly tribulation compare? They showed no fear.
yǒu de bèi chì hóng sè de lín piàn bāo guǒ ， hái yǒu de lín piàn zé shì zhàn lán sè ， gèng yǒu shèn zhě ， yáo tóu bǎi wěi jiān ， yǒu cī lā shēng chuán chū ， yuán lái zhè xiē jiāo lóng de lì zhuǎ yǔ liáo yá shàng ， jū rán bāo guǒ zhe yī quān yòu yī quān de diàn hú 。
有的被赤红色的鳞片包裹，还有的鳞片则是湛蓝色，更有甚者，摇头摆尾间，有刺啦声传出，原来这些蛟龙的利爪与獠牙上，居然包裹着一圈又一圈的电弧。
In a flash, the process was completed. Two observers watched in shock, unable to react immediately. Brother Lin wasn't supposed to be breaking through his bottleneck; had he succeeded?
qián liǎng zhě bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì bīng jiāo yǔ huǒ lóng ， ér zuì hòu yī zhǒng è jiāo ， zé jū rán shì léi shǔ xìng de 。
前两者不用说，自然是冰蛟与火龙，而最后一种恶蛟，则居然是雷属性的。
Their faces lit up with joy, but their mental probes revealed disappointment.
bīng yǔ huǒ ， zài jiā shàng léi ， zhèng hǎo yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de sān zhǒng shǔ xìng wán měi duì yìng le 。
冰与火，再加上雷，正好与九宫须臾剑的三种属性完美对应了。
Empty joy.
sān zhǒng è jiāo ， fān gǔn páo xiāo ， cóng chǎng miàn shàng shuō ， jū rán yì diǎn yě bù bǐ tiān léi de shēng shì xùn sè ， lín xuān shì zhēn qì le ， suǒ yǐ yī chū shǒu ， jiù shì yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù 。
三种恶蛟，翻滚咆哮，从场面上说，居然一点也不比天雷的声势逊色，林轩是真气了，所以一出手，就是压箱底的秘术。
Brother Lin hadn't晋级.
bǎi lóng zhī yá ， tā shì hěn zǎo jiù huì le ， dàn xiàn zài zhè zhāo de wēi lì ， yǔ wǎng xī ， què wán quán bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
百龙之牙，他是很早就会了，但现在这招的威力，与往昔，却完全不可同日而语。
He must have paused at his bottleneck and focused on the heavenly tribulation instead. With Brother Lin's strength, perhaps this challenge could be overcome, but what would happen next? The backlash of that power would be catastrophic; even a cultivator with supreme abilities couldn’t survive it unscathed.
bì jìng bǎi lóng zhī yá bú shì pǔ tōng de wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， ér shì yī lài zì jǐ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo shī zhǎn chū ， tā jù tǐ wēi néng rú hé ， nǎi shòu liǎng gè yīn shù zhì yuē de 。
毕竟百龙之牙不是普通的五行法术，而是依赖自己的本命法宝施展出，牠具体威能如何，乃受两个因数制约的。
Their attention was soon drawn to the scene above.
yī shì lín xuān de shí lì 。
一是林轩的实力。
This wave of tribulation lightning wasn't just numerous; each contained immense energy. If they were in Brother Lin's position, they'd surely have perished. Even working together wouldn't be enough. But what followed left them amazed.
dì èr diǎn me ， zé shì fǎ bǎo běn shēn de cái zhì le 。
第二点么，则是法宝本身的材质了。
Boom!
lín xuān de shí lì bù yòng tí ， qí yù jiā nǔ lì ， yǔ wǎng xī xiāng bǐ ， shuō tū fēi měng jìn dōu yǒu diǎn tài hán chěn le ， ér jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， róng rù de qí zhēn yì bǎo zhī duō ， gèng shì nán yǐ jì shù 。
林轩的实力不用提，奇遇加努力，与往昔相比，说突飞猛进都有点太寒碜了，而九宫须臾剑，融入的奇珍异宝之多，更是难以计数。
A thunderous sound echoed as the powerful tribulation lightning and dragons clashed, disintegrating into nothingness.
shèn zhì lián yù wài tiān jīn yǔ huàn yīn mó huā ， zhè zhǒng lìng dù jié hòu qī lǎo guài wù yǎn hóng fēng kuáng de cái liào ， yě yǒu tiān jiā 。
甚至连域外天金与幻阴魔花，这种令渡劫后期老怪物眼红疯狂的材料，也有添加。
Indeed, there was no resistance; it was like a one-sided battle.
liǎng zhě xiāng fǔ xiāng chéng zhī xià ， zhè bǎi lóng zhī yá wēi lì rú hé ， nǎ lǐ hái yòng lèi shù 。
两者相辅相成之下，这百龙之牙威力如何，哪里还用累述。
The two were dumbfounded by this outcome. The only explanation was that the 百龙之牙's power far surpassed the heavenly tribulation.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu yī jiù zài xū kōng zhōng huī wǔ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， gèng duō de fǎ lì bèi zhù rù jìn qù le bǎo wù ， rú jīn jì rán zhuàng shì duàn wàn ， zàn tíng jìn jí ， méi yǒu le hòu gù zhī yōu ， qí fǎ lì zì rán shì chōng zú wú bǐ 。
林轩双手依旧在虚空中挥舞，随着他的动作，更多的法力被注入进去了宝物，如今既然壮士断腕，暂停晋级，没有了后顾之忧，其法力自然是充足无比。
"Sister, this..."
hǒu ！
吼！
The dragon-named youth was stunned, turning his head in shock. He knew Lin Xuan was strong but not to this extent. This tribulation, which he had been preparing for an entire night, seemed as fragile as paper. Could it be that if Brother Lin hadn't been晋级, facing such a tribulation would have been effortless?
lóng yín shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， sān zhǒng bù tóng shǔ xìng de è jiāo yáng qǐ tóu lú ， yì qǐ xiàng zhe tóu dǐng chōng shàng qù le 。
龙吟声传入耳朵，三种不同属性的恶蛟扬起头颅，一起向着头顶冲上去了。
This realization made them sigh. Was heaven indeed jealous of talent? Or did cultivators like Brother Lin face more challenges and hardships due to their superior strength?
tiān léi yòu rú hé ， tā men fēn háo yě méi yǒu wèi jù zhī sè 。
天雷又如何，牠们分毫也没有畏惧之色。
Before they could ponder further, the scene above changed again. The dragons had broken through the tribulation but didn't stop there; they continued upwards, viciously plunging into the tribulation clouds.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí shì zài xū yú zhī jiān wán chéng de 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，说来繁复，其实是在须臾之间完成的。
For a cultivator, the tribulation clouds were terrifying, but these dragons, made of condensed灵力真元, lacked intelligence and fear. They charged straight ahead, claws tearing at the clouds.
It sounded outrageous, but it wasn't impossible to accomplish.
The劫clouds could be dispersed, though the difficulty was far beyond mere defense. Few cultivators dared to face them with such boldness.
Surviving a heavenly tribulation was already considered good luck; facing it head-on was like an old man hanging himself—needlessly seeking death. The cultivation world rarely produced such fools.
