bsp; 林轩虽然有奇珍异宝无数，但收罗的诸宝中，满足这个条件的也只有一个。
Lin Xuan, despite having countless treasures and wonders, only one of those gathered met the criteria.
mò yuè tiān wū diàn ！
墨月天巫殿！
Moyue Tianwu Pavilion!
méi cuò ， mò yuè zú chuán chéng zì tài gǔ ， yōng yǒu miào yòng wú shù ， lín xuān zhè yī cì lái dào fēi yún huāng mò ， zuì chū de mù dì ， yuán běn jiù shì wèi le jì liàn cǐ bǎo lái de 。
没错，墨月族传承自太古，拥有妙用无数，林轩这一次来到飞云荒漠，最初的目的，原本就是为了祭炼此宝来的。
Indeed, the Moyue Clan passed down from ancient times, possessing myriad uses. Lin Xuan's initial purpose for coming to the Flying Cloud Desert was originally to refine this treasure.
rú jīn tā bù yòng qū cè ， zài guān jiàn shí kè ， zì jǐ fēi chū lái le 。
如今它不用驱策，在关键时刻，自己飞出来了。
Now that it no longer needed to be driven, and at critical moments, it flew out on its own.
lín xuān jīng yà zhī yú ， zì rán shì yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， zhè yàng de biàn gù ， shì fǒu yì wèi zhe huì yǒu zhuǎn jī ？
林轩惊讶之余，自然是又惊又喜，这样的变故，是否意味着会有转机？
Lin Xuan was both surprised and delighted by such a change; did this mean there might be a turning point?
lín xuān bù qīng chǔ ， dàn què chōng mǎn le xī yì ， xiān bǎo tōng líng ， huì zì jǐ fēi chū lái ， kěn dìng shì yǒu mù dì 。
林轩不清楚，但却充满了希翼，仙宝通灵，会自己飞出来，肯定是有目的。
He wasn't sure, but he was filled with hope. A divine treasure had come alive and flown out of its own accord—certainly for some purpose.
ér bù yuǎn chù ， táo wù què chēng mù jié shé 。
而不远处，梼杌却瞠目结舌。
Not far away, Taiwu was dumbfounded.
duì fāng jū rán dǎ pò le shí jiān fǎ zé 。
对方居然打破了时间法则。
The other party actually broke the time law.
bù kě néng ， tā bìng fēi dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， gèng bú shì lǐng yù jí bié de qiáng zhě ， zěn me kě néng zuò dào zhè yī bù . .
不可能，他并非渡劫后期的老怪物，更不是领域级别的强者，怎么可能做到这一步. .
Impossible, he was not an old monster at late-stage cultivation refinement, nor a realm-level powerhouse; how could he achieve this?
chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è 。
除了惊愕还是惊愕。
Apart from astonishment, there was only more bewilderment.
dàn xiàn zài shuō zhè xiē ， xiǎn rán wéi shí yǐ wǎn le 。
但现在说这些，显然为时已晚了。
But now that it was too late to say anything, Taiwu saw the young man break free of his bindings… no, he hadn't broken free; rather, that treasure had somehow been summoned for unknown reasons.
zhè lín xiǎo zi jū rán zhèng tuō le shù fù …… bú duì ， tā bìng méi yǒu zhèng tuō shù fù ， zhǐ shì nà jiàn bǎo wù ， bù zhī dào wèi hé jì chū 。
这林小子居然挣脱了束缚……不对，他并没有挣脱束缚，只是那件宝物，不知道为何祭出。
Taiwu's eyes flashed with ferocity, but his expression was more confused.
táo wù yǎn zhōng xiōng guāng shǎn shuò ， dàn mí huò de biǎo qíng gèng duō 。
梼杌眼中凶光闪烁，但迷惑的表情更多。
It had lived for millions of years, yet such a change had never been heard of before.
tā huó le shù bǎi wàn nián de gōng fu ， dàn zhè yàng de biàn gù ， yě cóng wèi tīng shuō 。
它活了数百万年的功夫，但这样的变故，也从未听说。
Sure enough, this young man was hard to deal with. Taiwu’s divine expression turned grave as he stared at the small treasure.
zhè lín xiǎo zi guǒ rán nán yǐ duì fù ， táo wù shén sè níng zhòng de wàng xiàng nà xiǎo xiǎo de bǎo wù 。
这林小子果然难以对付，梼杌神sè凝重的望向那小小的宝物。
There was an aura of supreme power emanating from it—a先天灵宝!
jìng yǒu jí dào zhī wēi sàn fà ér chū ， xiān tiān líng bǎo ！
竟有极道之威散发而出，先天灵宝！
Impossible.
zěn me kě néng 。
怎么可能。
An innate object—such items were rare even for late-stage cultivation refinement existences, and those who possessed them were among the top-tier powerhouses in the Three Realms.
xiān tiān zhī wù ， jiù suàn duì yú dù jié hòu qī de cún zài lái shuō ， yě shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù ， yōng yǒu tā de dōu shì sān jiè zuì dǐng jí de qiáng zhě 。
先天之物，就算对于渡劫后期的存在来说，也是可遇而不可求之物，拥有它的都是三界最顶级的强者。
What merit did this little fellow have to possess two such treasures?
yǎn qián zhè xiǎo jiā huo hé dé hé néng ， jū rán néng yǒu liǎng gè ！
眼前这小家伙何德何能，居然能有两个！
Such a scene would be unbelievable if not witnessed firsthand. No one could believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.
qǐ zhǐ shì jīng shì hài sú ， zhè yàng de yí mù ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù néng shuí shuō yǔ tā tīng ， dōu jué bú huì xiāng xìn 。
岂止是惊世骇俗，这样的一幕若非亲眼目睹，不能谁说与它听，都绝不会相信。
This young man’s divine fortune was truly awe-inspiring; he must be eliminated, or else left unchecked, his growth would be too much for Taiwu to bear.
zhè xiǎo zi de xiān yuán ， hái zhēn shì lìng rén jīng mù ， bì xū jiāng tā zhǎn chú ， fǒu zé rèn yóu zhè xiǎo zi chéng zhǎng qǐ lái ， zì jǐ yě bù gòu kàn le 。
这小子的仙缘，还真是令人惊慕，必须将它斩除，否则任由这小子成长起来，自己也不够看了。
Taiwu was both angry and frustrated, regretting his decision to stop earlier. He should have finished the young man off in one fell swoop.
táo wù yòu qì yòu nù ， xīn zhōng gèng shì huǐ dé cháng zi dōu qīng le 。 gāng cái gàn ma yào tíng shǒu 。 yīng gāi yī gǔ zuò qì jiāng zhè lín xiǎo zi miè chú 。
梼杌又气又怒，心中更是悔得肠子都青了。刚才干嘛要停手。应该一鼓作气将这林小子灭除。
Otherwise, he should have already been reduced to a soulless husk; how could he still turn things around now?
fǒu zé tā yīng gāi yǐ jīng hún fēi pò sàn ， rú hé hái néng rú xiàn zài yì bān fān pán ？
否则他应该已经魂飞魄散，如何还能如现在一般翻盘？
But regrets were useless now. The only thing that mattered was to try and salvage the situation.
dàn hòu huǐ yǐ méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， rú jīn wéi yī néng zuò de ， jiù shì wáng yáng bǔ láo 。
但后悔已没有用处，如今唯一能做的，就是亡羊补牢。
Roar!
hǒu ！
吼！
Taiwu bellowed loudly, no longer hiding his strength. His gaping maw opened wide, spewing out a terrifying black light wave.
táo wù dà shēng páo xiāo ， bù gǎn zài cáng zhuō ， xuè pén dà kǒu zhāng kāi ， yī dào kě pà de hēi sè guāng bō yóu zuǐ bā lǐ miàn pēn tǔ chū lái 。
梼杌大声咆哮，不敢再藏拙，血盆大口张开，一道可怕的黑sè光波由嘴巴里面喷吐出来。
The light wave, upon encountering the wind, transformed into chains, flashing with dark luster, emitting an oppressive aura that could even pierce through space-time itself.
nà guāng bō yíng fēng yī shǎn 。 jū rán huà wèi yī dào dào suǒ liàn ， shǎn shuò zhe yǒu hēi de guāng zé ， biǎo miàn gèng yǒu kě pà de wēi yā sàn fà ér chū ， lián xū kōng dōu néng dòng pò 。
那光波迎风一闪。居然化为一道道锁链，闪烁着黝黑的光泽，表面更有可怕的威压散发而出，连虚空都能洞破。
If ensnared by these chains, one would surely be reduced to nothing but a soulless husk.
ruò bèi zhè suǒ liàn chán zhù ， fēi hún fēi pò sàn bù kě 。
若被这锁链缠住，非魂飞魄散不可。
Soul-Ensnaring Demon Chains!
jū hún mó suǒ ！
拘魂魔锁！
At this critical moment, Taiwu had unleashed his hidden prowess.
dāng cǐ shí kè ， táo wù yě shī zhǎn chū le yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu 。
当此时刻，梼杌也施展出了压箱底的功夫。
And there was more. He struck with both front claws, revealing layer upon layer of claw shadows.
ér zhè hái bìng bú shì quán bù 。 tā liǎng zhǐ qián zhǎo xiàng qián yī pāi ， céng céng zhǎo yǐng fú xiàn 。
而这还并不是全部。它两只前爪向前一拍，层层爪影浮现。
The void, which should have been formless and intangible, now showed cracks and fissures. Many places collapsed, emitting spatial laws and domain winds from the broken areas.
xū kōng yuán běn shì wú zhì wú xíng zhī wù ， cǐ kè què yǒu yī dào dào liè hén fú xiàn ér chū 。
虚空原本是无质无形之物，此刻却有一道道裂痕浮现而出。
These powers were unparalleled; even non-realm cultivators would be reduced to soulless husks if they touched them.
bù shǎo dì fāng dōu tā xiàn le ， cóng pò suì zhī chù ， mí sàn ér chū yī dào dào kōng jiān fǎ zé ， hái yǒu jiè miàn gāng fēng 。
不少地方都塌陷了，从破碎之处，弥散而出一道道空间法则，还有界面罡风。
The battle had reached its most intense stage, soon deciding life or death.
zhè xiē wēi lì ， dōu wú yǐ lún bǐ ， ruò fēi dù jié jí bié de rén wù 。 zhǐ yào zhān shàng yì diǎn 。 jiù huì hún fēi pò sàn 。
这些威力，都无以伦比，若非渡劫级别的人物。只要沾上一点。就会魂飞魄散。
However, at this crucial juncture, Lin Xuan remained immobile.
dòu fǎ yǐ dào le zuì jī liè de yī kè ， hěn kuài jiù yào jué shèng fù 。 pàn shēng sǐ le 。
斗法已到了最激烈的一刻，很快就要决胜负。判生死了。
The time law hadn't been broken. After the release of that spiritual energy, he was once again bound.
rán ér zài zhè qiān jūn yī fà de guān tóu ， lín xuān yī jiù bù néng dòng 。
然而在这千钧一发的关头，林轩依旧不能动。
Facing Taiwu's lethal attack, Lin Xuan was also anxious but helpless. Though a turning point seemed to have appeared, it still seemed destined for his downfall.
shí jiān fǎ zé bìng méi yǒu bèi pò chú ， zài yì sàn chū nà yī gǔ líng lì zhī hòu ， tā zài cì bèi jìn gù 。
时间法则并没有被破除，在逸散出那一股灵力之后，他再次被禁锢。
Lin Xuan felt extremely frustrated.
miàn duì táo wù de shā zhe ， lín xuān yě hěn jiāo jí ， rán ér què huí tiān fá shù 。
面对梼杌的杀着，林轩也很焦急，然而却回天乏术。
But at this moment, a voice as grand and resounding as a temple bell echoed in his ears. Without his control, the Treasure Formula flowed through his meridians like an ancient beast awakening from slumber; Moyue Tianwu Pavilion itself had awakened.
míng míng yǐ yǒu le zhuǎn jī ， kě sì hū yī jiù wú fǎ bǎi tuō yǔn luò de jié jú 。
明明已有了转机，可似乎依旧无法摆脱陨落的结局。
Supreme power radiated out, laws of the universe swirling around.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yù mèn wú bǐ 。
林轩心中郁闷无比。
A myriad of divine lights shone on the surface of the treasure, and its images transformed into towering structures. What was originally a mere inch in size now expanded by more than a hundred times, like a majestic mountain.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， yǒu hóng zhōng dà lǚ yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， bù yòng tā cāo kòng ， tōng bǎo jué zì jǐ zài jīng mài zhōng liú dòng ， shì yuǎn gǔ zhé fú de gǔ shòu ， mò yuè tiān wū diàn zì jǐ sū xǐng le 。
然而就在此刻，有洪钟大吕一般的声音传入耳朵，不用他cāo控，通宝诀自己在经脉中流动，似远古蛰伏的古兽，墨月天巫殿自己苏醒了。
Infinite pressure spread out, enveloping Lin Xuan and breaking through time laws.
yī gǔ gǔ jí dào zhī wēi mí sàn ér chū ， fǎ zé zhī lì zài tiān dì jiān liú dòng 。
一股股极道之威弥散而出，法则之力在天地间流动。
Moyue Tianwu Pavilion was terrifying; it seemed to flow with its own time laws, automatically protecting its master without needing to be driven.
xiān máng wàn zhàng ， cǐ bǎo biǎo miàn ， shǎn dòng zhe yào yǎn de líng guāng 。
仙芒万丈，此宝表面，闪动着耀眼的灵光。
Though Taiwu was strong, his grasp of time was still in its infancy, far from mastery. This was why Moyue Tianwu Pavilion could easily break the bindings once it appeared.
tíng tái lóu gé de xū yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， yuán běn cǐ bǎo bù guò cùn xǔ dà xiǎo zhī wù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè fù sū ， què yī xià zi biàn dà le bǎi bèi yǒu yú ， rú wàn zhàng gāo de wēi é dà shān yī yàng 。
亭台楼阁的虚影浮现而出，原本此宝不过寸许大小之物，此时此刻复苏，却一下子变大了百倍有余，如万丈高的巍峨大山一样。
But even so, it was shocking; this Moyue Clan treasure was clearly not a simple先天灵宝.
wú jìn de wēi yā mí sàn ér chū 。
无尽的威压弥散而出。
A mere test had already helped Lin Xuan overcome the crisis, but he hadn't yet fully turned danger into safety. Taiwu's attacks were now relentless and overwhelming.
yī xià zi jiāng lín xuān hù zhù ， lián shí jiān fǎ zé yě bèi dǎ pò 。
一下子将林轩护住，连时间法则也被打破。
Infinite malevolence enveloped Lin Xuan, intent on reducing him to dust.
mò yuè tiān wū diàn tài kě pà le ， běn shēn sì hū yě liú dòng yǒu shí jiān fǎ zé ， bù yòng qū cè ， jiù yǒu le zì dòng hù zhǔ de xiào guǒ 。
墨月天巫殿太可怕了，本身似乎也流动有时间法则，不用驱策，就有了自动护主的效果。
Taiwu regretted his decision bitterly. Thankfully, although Lin Xuan had broken free of time’s constraints, these techniques still required more cultivation before they could be fully utilized; he might yet be eliminated.
táo wù suī qiáng ， dàn tā duì yú shí jiān de bǎ wò ， bù guò shì gāng gāng chù mō ， yuǎn bú dào jīng tōng de chéng dù ， zhè yě shì wèi shén me ， mò yuè tiān wū diàn yī chū ， jiù néng qīng yì dǎ pò jìn gù 。
梼杌虽强，但它对于时间的把握，不过是刚刚触摸，远不到jīng通的程度，这也是为什么，墨月天巫殿一出，就能轻易打破禁锢。
Soul-Ensnaring Demon Chains and claw shadows tore through the void as Taiwu made a desperate strike. Even late-stage cultivators would not dare to face him head-on at such a critical moment.
dàn jí biàn rú cǐ ， yě lìng rén zé shé ， xiǎn rán zhè jiàn mò yuè zú chuán chéng xià lái de bǎo wù ， yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng xiān tiān líng bǎo nà me jiǎn dān de 。
但即便如此，也令人咋舌，显然这件墨月族传承下来的宝物，远非普通先天灵宝那么简单的。
But Lin Xuan had no choice. As Taiwu suspected, his power was just beginning to recover; he lacked the ability to control the treasure. The only option was to pour all his recovered spiritual energy into Moyue Tianwu Pavilion.
niú dāo xiǎo shì ， jiù wèi lín xuān huà jiě le wēi jī ， bù guò lín xuān hái tán bù shàng huà xiǎn wéi yí ， táo wù de gōng jī ， yǐ rú yǐng suí xíng ， fēng yōng ér zhì 。
牛刀小试，就为林轩化解了危机，不过林轩还谈不上化险为夷，梼杌的攻击，已如影随形，蜂拥而至。
Lin Xuan had no choice but to hope that this newly acquired treasure would prove versatile enough to help him overcome this crisis. As long as he could weather this wave, Lin Xuan could recover his fighting strength.
wú biān de lì qì ， jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ ， xiǎng yào jiāng tā huà wèi fěn mò 。
无边的戾气，将林轩包裹，想要将他化为粉末。
He wouldn't be complacent again; he was certain he could kill Taiwu here.
táo wù zǎo yǐ huǐ bù dāng chū ， hǎo zài lín xuān suī rán yǐ zhèng tuō le shí jiān de shù fù ， dàn zhè xiē gōng fu ， fǎ lì hái bú dào yùn zhuàn rú yì de dì bù ， yī jiù yǒu kě néng jiāng tā mǒ shā diào de 。
梼杌早已悔不当初，好在林轩虽然已挣脱了时间的束缚，但这些功夫，法力还不到运转如意的地步，依旧有可能将他抹杀掉的。
Lin Xuan's heart was filled with hope as infinite pressure surged around him, enveloping him entirely.
jū hún mó suǒ ， zhǎo yǐng jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， táo wù pīn mìng yī jī ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě jué bù yuàn zài zhè ge shí kè ， yǔ tā yìng pīn 。
拘魂魔锁，爪影将虚空撕破，梼杌拼命一击，就算是渡劫后期的修仙者，也绝不愿在这个时刻，与他硬拼。
Life or death hung in the balance!
rán ér lín xuān méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， zhèng rú táo wù de cāi cè ， tā xiàn zài fǎ lì gāng gāng huī fù ， yuǎn bú dào yùn zhuàn rú yì de dì bù 。
然而林轩没有选择，正如梼杌的猜测，他现在法力刚刚恢复，远不到运转如意的地步。
Boom!
shèn zhì méi yǒu néng lì cāo zòng bǎo wù ， wéi yī néng zuò de ， jiù shì jiāng gāng gāng huī fù liú dòng de fǎ lì ， quán bù zhù rù mò yuè tiān wū diàn zhōng 。
甚至没有能力cāo纵宝物，唯一能做的，就是将刚刚恢复流动的法力，全部注入墨月天巫殿中。
The entire process seemed complex when described but actually took some time. The black chains and claw shadows had already ensnared Lin Xuan.
lín xuān méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， zhǐ néng xī wàng zhè jiàn xīn dé dào de bǎo wù ， néng dào miào yòng wú jìn de dì bù ， zhù zì jǐ huà jiě wēi jī ， zhǐ yào néng jiāng zhè yī bō wēi jī dù guò qù ， lín xuān jiù kě yǐ huī fù zhàn lì 。
林轩没有选择，只能希望这件新得到的宝物，能到妙用无尽的地步，助自己化解危机，只要能将这一波危机度过去，林轩就可以恢复战力。
He could do nothing to avoid them; under Taiwu’s overwhelming demonic power, he appeared helpless. His downfall seemed inevitable.
jiē xià lái ， tā bú huì zài qīng dí ， yí dìng néng jiāng táo wù zhǎn shā yú zhè lǐ 。
接下来，他不会再轻敌，一定能将梼杌斩杀于这里。
Boom!
lín xuān xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le xī yì ， wú biān de wēi yā fēng yōng ér qǐ ， yǐ jiāng tā zhěng gè lǒng zhào le jìn qù 。
林轩心中充满了希翼，无边的威压蜂拥而起，已将他整个笼罩了进去。
However, at this moment, the voice of the Way suddenly emerged, Moyue Tianwu Pavilion emitting a dazzling light, its aura protecting Lin Xuan. The attack that could pierce through space-time seemed ineffective, like ice melting in a fire; it instantly vanished.
shēng sǐ zài cǐ yī jǔ ！
生死在此一举！
"Impossible!"
hōng ！
轰！
Taiwu's eyes widened in shock. Even without someone driving it, a divine treasure’s power shouldn't reach such levels—acting as if it were alive and guarding its master.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bú shì shùn xī de gōng fu 。
整个过程说来繁复，其实不是瞬息的功夫。
How was this possible?
hēi sè de suǒ liàn yǐ jí chóng chóng zhǎo yǐng yǐ jiāng lín xuān lǒng zhào zhù 。
黑sè的锁链以及重重爪影已将林轩笼罩住。
It must be said that unlike a命宝, which can only be used by the one who wields it, a supreme divine treasure could be controlled once one mastered the Treasure Formula. No one had ever heard of it bonding with its owner.
tā duǒ wú kě duǒ ， zài táo wù wú biān de mó wēi xià xiǎn de shì nà me de wú zhù ， yǔn luò sì hū yǐ shì zhù dìng le 。
他躲无可躲，在梼杌无边的魔威下显得是那么的无助，陨落似乎已是注定了。
Could it be…
hōng ！
轰！
Taiwu's mind hinted at an ancient legend. In all the Three Realms, there was but one supreme divine treasure that stood out; not only did it require mastering the Treasure Formula, but it also needed a special physique and cultivation techniques to work together.
Lin Xuan, despite having countless treasures and wonders, only one of those gathered met the criteria.
Moyue Tianwu Pavilion!
Indeed, the Moyue Clan passed down from ancient times, possessing myriad uses. Lin Xuan's initial purpose for coming to the Flying Cloud Desert was originally to refine this treasure.
Now that it no longer needed to be driven, and at critical moments, it flew out on its own.
Lin Xuan was both surprised and delighted by such a change; did this mean there might be a turning point?
He wasn't sure, but he was filled with hope. A divine treasure had come alive and flown out of its own accord—certainly for some purpose.
Not far away, Taiwu was dumbfounded.
