zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān jīng lì de jiān nán kùn kǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rán ér cóng lái méi yǒu xiàng xiàn zài zhè me wú zhù 。
自从踏上修仙之路，林轩经历的艰难困苦数不胜数，然而从来没有像现在这么无助。
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships. However, he had never felt so helpless as he did now.
táo wù hǔ shì zài cè ， zì jǐ què dòng tán bù dé ， shòu kùn yú shí jiān fǎ zé ， lián fǎ lì dōu yǐ jīng níng gù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， zěn me huà xiǎn wéi yí ne ？
梼杌虎视在侧，自己却动弹不得，受困于时间法则，连法力都已经凝固，这种情况下，怎么化险为夷呢？
Tao Wu's tiger-like gaze loomed beside him, yet his body remained immobile. Trapped by the Time Law, even his mana was frozen solid. How could he turn danger into safety under such circumstances?
rèn nǐ yīng xióng liǎo de ， rèn nǐ yōng yǒu qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě méi yǒu yī yàng néng gòu fā huī xiào guǒ 。
任你英雄了得，任你拥有奇珍异宝无数，此时此刻，也没有一样能够发挥效果。
No matter how formidable one might be or how many precious treasures they possessed, none of it mattered in this moment.
lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn liǎo wú zhù 。
林轩心中充满了无助。
Lin Xuan felt utterly helpless.
shí jiān fǎ zé ， guǒ rán bù kuì shì wú shàng shèng shù ， nán dào jīn yāo ， zì jǐ yí dìng yào yǔn luò me ？
时间法则，果然不愧是无上圣术，难道今夭，自己一定要陨落么？
The Time Law truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme holy art. Was today the day he would fall here and die?
lín xuān bù gān ！
林轩不甘！
Lin Xuan refused to accept his fate.
hǎo bù róng yì jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， hái méi yǒu xún zhǎo dào yuè ér 、 kǒng què de zōng jì ， zì jǐ zěn me néng gòu yǔn luò yú zhè lǐ 。
好不容易进阶到渡劫期，还没有寻找到月儿、孔雀的踪迹，自己怎么能够陨落于这里。
Having just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage without finding Moon or Peacock, how could he afford to perish here? There must be a way out.
yí dìng yǒu bàn fǎ kě yǐ huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
一定有办法可以化险为夷。
Roar!
hǒu ！
吼！
A fire burned in Lin Xuan's heart as he silently bellowed. Straining against his bonds, he shouted, "Time Law, break!"
lín xuān de xīn zhōng ， xiàng zhuāng zhe yī tuán huǒ ， wú shēng de páo xiāo ， zì tā de zuǐ zhōng fā chū 。
林轩的心中，像装着一团火，无声的咆哮，自他的嘴中发出。
"Stupid boy, it won't work."
pīn mìng de xiǎng yào zhèng tuō shù fù ， shí jiān fǎ zé ， gěi wǒ pò ！
拼命的想要挣脱束缚，时间法则，给我破！
Tao Wu was delighted to see Lin Xuan suffer and paused his assault. He didn’t believe that Lin Xuan could break free from the Time Law; after all, among the Three Thousand Daoist Paths, this was one of the most mysterious and powerful.
“ shǎ xiǎo zi ， méi yòng de 。”
“傻小子，没用的。”
With victory in hand, there was no need for immediate annihilation. Watching him struggle was quite enjoyable.
jiàn lín xuān rú cǐ tòng kǔ ， táo wù xīn zhōng dà lè ， jū rán tíng xià le gōng jī 。
见林轩如此痛苦，梼杌心中大乐，居然停下了攻击。
This wretched Lin boy had once destroyed his avatar and even severed a fragment of his soul. This grudge could not be forgotten, so he wouldn’t let him die easily.
tā bù xiāng xìn lín xuān kě yǐ zhèng tuō shí jiān fǎ zé ， zài dà dào sān qiān zhōng nà yě shì zuì wèi shén mì ， wēi lì zuì dà de yí gè 。
它不相信林轩可以挣脱时间法则，在大道三千中那也是最为神秘，威力最大的一个。
Tao Wu's eyes gleamed with malice as he said, "Little guy, I won't let you die that easily. I’ll drain your soul and spirit, leaving you to suffer."
rú jīn zì jǐ shèng quàn zài wò ， nà yě jiù méi yǒu bì yào jiāng tā mǎ shàng miè chú ， kàn dí rù zhēng zhá de gǎn jué hěn bú cuò 。
如今自己胜券在握，那也就没有必要将他马上灭除，看敌入挣扎的感觉很不错。
His voice echoed in Lin Xuan’s ears, but he ignored it. Fear was useless; he had to break free from the Time Law.
zhè kě wù de lín xiǎo zi céng jiāng zì jǐ huà shēn miè chú ， hái jiāng zì jǐ hǎo bù róng yì jiàng lín dào rù jiè de fēn hún zhǎn luò ， cǐ chóu bù gòng dài yāo ， zì rán bù néng ràng tā sǐ dé qiān jìng lì luò 。
这可恶的林小子曾将自己化身灭除，还将自己好不容易降临到入界的分魂斩落，此仇不共戴夭，自然不能让他死得千净利落。
With no other choice, Lin Xuan considered using his last resort—the Five Dragon Seal. If this artifact could be summoned, even Tao Wu's formidable power would not suffice.
táo wù yǎn zhōng xiōng máng shǎn shuò ， hěn è dú de xiào zhe ：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， wǒ bú huì ràng nǐ nà me qīng sōng sǐ de ， wǒ huì jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé 。”
梼杌眼中凶芒闪烁，很恶毒的笑着：“小家伙，我不会让你那么轻松死的，我会将你抽魂炼魄，让你求生不能，求死不得。”
Lin Xuan was confident in his chances, yet there was a problem… The Time Law immobilized everything, not just his movements but also his mana and the blue Star Sea within him ceased to function.
tā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān què shì ruò wú dǔ ， hài pà méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， yí dìng yào zhèng tuō shí jiān fǎ zé de shù fù 。
他的声音传入耳朵，林轩却视若无睹，害怕没有用处，一定要挣脱时间法则的束缚。
The Time Law lived up to its reputation as the supreme holy art. But what if he tried other natural laws? He had lost the initiative; if he could have reacted sooner, perhaps he could have countered Tao Wu's Time Law with another law, leaving the outcome uncertain.
lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， tā shèn zhì xiǎng dào ， yào dòng yòng zuì hòu de shā shǒu jiǎn wǔ lóng xǐ le 。
林轩现在已没有选择，他甚至想到，要动用最后的杀手锏五龙玺了。
Even if it meant falling behind, at least he wouldn’t be so passive, his life hanging in the balance.
zhǐ yào cǐ bǎo néng gòu jì chū ， rèn nǐ táo wù mó wēi liǎo de ， yě fēi jiù cǐ yǐn hèn bù kě 。
只要此宝能够祭出，任你梼杌魔威了得，也非就此饮恨不可。
A single misstep and everything would be lost. That was the situation now, but Lin Xuan refused to yield. He believed that even under such unfavorable conditions, there must be a way to turn things around.
lín xuān yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò ， kě wèn tí shì …… shí jiān fǎ zé ， néng gòu jiāng wàn wù jìn gù ， bù jǐn dòng tán bù dé ， fǎ lì níng zhì ， lián tǐ nèi de lán sè xīng hǎi yì bù zài zhuǎn dòng le 。
林轩有百分之百的把握，可问题是……时间法则，能够将万物禁锢，不仅动弹不得，法力凝滞，连体内的蓝sè星海亦不再转动了。
With me, none can stand against me. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had never known defeat.
wàn fǎ zhī shǒu ， shèng míng wú xū ， lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le ào nǎo zhī yì ， nán dào zhēn méi yǒu bàn fǎ pò jiě yǎn qián de wēi jú 。
万法之首，盛名无虚，林轩心中充满了懊恼之意，难道真没有办法破解眼前的危局。
He didn’t believe he would fall here.
fāng fǎ kěn dìng shì yǒu de 。
方法肯定是有的。
Tao Wu was just a minor obstacle; he had faced more formidable enemies before.
lín xuān ruò shì yě zhǎng wò yǒu shí jiān fǎ zé ， zì rán néng jiāng yǎn qián de kùn jú dù guò ， huà bèi dòng wéi zhǔ dòng le 。
林轩若是也掌握有时间法则，自然能将眼前的困局度过，化被动为主动了。
There must be a way to break the Time Law.
rán ér shuō shuō gù rán róng yì ， zhēn yào zuò ， què shì qiān nán wàn nán dì ， lín xuān suī yǐ shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， qiě shí lì yuǎn shèng tóng bèi xǔ duō ， dàn duì yú shí jiān fǎ zé ， què gēn běn méi yǒu mō dào mén jìng shì shén me ， gèng bú yào tí zhǎng wò 。
然而说说固然容易，真要做，却是千难万难地，林轩虽已是渡劫级别的修仙者，且实力远胜同辈许多，但对于时间法则，却根本没有摸到门径是什么，更不要提掌握。
The situation was dire, but Lin Xuan did not give up. Undaunted and unbowed, he sought to shatter the temporal bonds. Tao Wu’s mocking laughter continued: "Foolish boy, don't waste your time. With you, breaking free from the Time Law is like a cicada trying to stop a chariot. I will drain your soul and spirit, leaving you with no choice but to suffer."
zhè wěi shí yǒu xiē qiáng rù suǒ nán le 。
这委实有些强入所难了。
"Dares to offend me? You must be sick of living!"
zhè me duǎn de shí jiān ， gèng bù kě néng yǒu suǒ lǐng wù 。
这么短的时间，更不可能有所领悟。
"Or you can beg for mercy now and serve me as my vassal, and I might consider sparing you…"
lín xuān xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， zì jǐ bìng bú shì nà zhǒng néng gòu yī zhāo wù dào de yāo cái rù wù 。
林轩心中清楚，自己并不是那种能够一朝悟道的夭才入物。
Tao Wu’s laughter was filled with arrogance. In his eyes, Lin Xuan was like a bug trapped in spider silk; no matter how much he struggled, it would be futile.
bù kě néng yǐ dú gōng dú ， yǐ shí jiān fǎ zé jiāng yǎn qián de wēi jī dù guò ， nà me jiù zhǐ yǒu bié chū xīn cái ， xiǎng bié de zhǔ yì le 。
不可能以毒攻毒，以时间法则将眼前的危机度过，那么就只有别出心裁，想别的主意了。
But was it truly futile?
bǐ rú shuō ， qí tā de zì rán fǎ zé 。
比如说，其他的自然法则。
There were no absolutes; effort always brought results.
dà dào sān qiān ， gè yǒu xuán miào zhī chù ， shí jiān fǎ zé ， gù rán shì wú shàng shèng shù ， dàn qí tā de zì rán fǎ zé ， bìng fēi jiù yí dìng bù néng kàng héng le 。
大道三千，各有玄妙之处，时间法则，固然是无上圣术，但其他的自然法则，并非就一定不能抗衡了。
Click… A faint sound echoed, as if something had snapped.
guān jiàn zài yú ， lín xuān shī qù le xiān shǒu 。
关键在于，林轩失去了先手。
The Time Law remained unbroken, but the mana within Lin Xuan began to move.
ruò néng fā xiàn dé kuài yī xiē ， zài duì fāng shǐ yòng chū shí jiān fǎ zé de tóng shí ， jiù yǐn dòng bié de zì rán fǎ zé xiāng kàng ， shuí shèng shuí fù ， yī 1rì shì bù néng què dìng de 。
若能发现得快一些，在对方使用出时间法则的同时，就引动别的自然法则相抗，谁胜谁负，依1rì是不能确定的。
This was a strange situation that Lin Xuan couldn’t explain. But it was a good result. However, his mood quickly darkened; he could barely use any of his mana.
jiù suàn huì luò zài xià fēng ， zhì shǎo yě bú huì xiàng rú jīn yī yàng bèi dòng ， lián shēng sǐ ， dōu xuán yú dí shǒu 。
就算会落在下风，至少也不会像如今一样被动，连生死，都悬于敌手。
It would be impossible to drive a powerful artifact or cast a secret technique like Illusory Heavenly Fire. How could the Time Law be broken?
yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， shuō de jiù shì xiàn zài zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， rán ér lín xuān bù yuàn yì qū fú ， tā xiāng xìn ， jí biàn shì zhè zhǒng bù lì de qíng xíng xià ， yě yí dìng yǒu bàn fǎ ， nì zhuǎn qián kūn de 。
一着不慎满盘皆输，说的就是现在这种结果，然而林轩不愿意屈服，他相信，即便是这种不利的情形下，也一定有办法，逆转乾坤的。
Hope had seemed within reach, but the困境 remained unresolved. If this continued, he would surely fall here.
yǒu wǒ wú dí ， zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， lín xuān jiù bù zhī dào shén me jiào zuò fú shū 。
有我无敌，自从踏上修仙之路，林轩就不知道什么叫做服输。
What should he do?
tā bù xiāng xìn ， zì jǐ huì zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò 。
他不相信，自己会在这里陨落。
Lin Xuan was unsure. With no other choice, his limited mana left him with little hope. Despair flickered in his heart.
qū qū táo wù suàn dé le shén me ， zì jǐ lián gèng qiáng dà de dí rù ， dōu zhàn shèng guò 。
区区梼杌算得了什么，自己连更强大的敌入，都战胜过。
But more than anything, he refused to give up. He couldn’t die here.
shí jiān fǎ zé ， yě yí dìng huì yǒu pò jiě zhī dào de 。
时间法则，也一定会有破解之道的。
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck or the result of Lin Xuan’s unyielding will, but that slight movement of mana began to flow on its own.
jú miàn kùn nán yǐ jí ， dàn lín xuān méi yǒu fàng qì nǔ lì 。
局面困难以极，但林轩没有放弃努力。
Boom!
bǎi zhé bù náo ， bù qū de yì zhì ， yào jiāng shí jiān de jìn gù dǎ pò ， ér táo wù de lěng xiào shēng ， zé bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ yú chǔn de jiā huo ， bù yòng bái fèi xīn jī le ， jiù píng nǐ ， yě xiǎng zhèng tuō shí jiān fǎ zé ， bù guò shì táng bì dǎng chē ， běn zūn yào jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， ràng nǐ qiú shēng bù néng ， qiú sǐ bù dé ……”
百折不挠，不屈的意志，要将时间的禁锢打破，而梼杌的冷笑声，则不停的传入耳朵：“愚蠢的家伙，不用白费心机了，就凭你，也想挣脱时间法则，不过是螳臂挡车，本尊要将你抽魂炼魄，让你求生不能，求死不得……”
Despite still being immobilized, a treasure suddenly burst from his crown.
“ jū rán gǎn dé zuì wǒ ， jiǎn zhí shì huó nì le ！”
“居然敢得罪我，简直是活腻了！”
Light radiated out, divine light emerging like falling stars. It was beautiful beyond words.
“ yào bù rán nǐ xiàn zài kē tóu qiú ráo ， zài fèng wǒ wéi zhǔ ， běn zūn bú shì bù kě yǐ kǎo lǜ ， jiāng nǐ fàng guò ……””
“要不然你现在磕头求饶，再奉我为主，本尊不是不可以考虑，将你放过……””
It was a palm-sized artifact, small and delicate yet seemingly filled with countless pavilions and terraces.
táo wù de xiào shēng chōng mǎn le xiāo zhāng zhī sè， gè zhǒng jī xiào ， gè zhǒng cháo fěng ， zài tā yǎn zhōng ， lín xuān jiù rú tóng yī bèi zhū sī chán jǐn de xiǎo chóng ， zài zěn me zhēng zhá ， dōu shì tú láo wú yòng 。
梼杌的笑声充满了嚣张之sè，各种讥笑，各种嘲讽，在它眼中，林轩就如同一被蛛丝缠紧的小虫，再怎么挣扎，都是徒劳无用。
A minor treasure, but it emitted the aura of an innate spirit object.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had faced countless hardships. However, he had never felt so helpless as he did now.
Tao Wu's tiger-like gaze loomed beside him, yet his body remained immobile. Trapped by the Time Law, even his mana was frozen solid. How could he turn danger into safety under such circumstances?

Lin Xuan felt utterly helpless.
The Time Law truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme holy art. Was today the day he would fall here and die?

Having just advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage without finding Moon or Peacock, how could he afford to perish here? There must be a way out.
Roar!
