bsp; 林轩不敢说算无遗策，但这番安排，不论从哪个角度，应该都没有什么明显漏洞的。
Lin Xuan didn't claim to have a foolproof plan, but the arrangement he had made seemed to leave no obvious loopholes from any angle.
zhěng gè guò chéng tù qǐ hú luò ， shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu ， yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ kàn dé shì chēng mù jié shé ， tiān jié jū rán kě yǐ bèi jìn gù ， ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， bù lùn shuí shuō yǔ tā men tīng ， dōu jué bú huì xiāng xìn 。
整个过程兔起鹘落，说来繁复，其实不过瞬息的功夫，云隐宗弟子看得是瞠目结舌，天劫居然可以被禁锢，若非亲眼目睹，不论谁说与他们听，都绝不会相信。
The entire process unfolded quickly. Though it sounded complicated when described, it took only an instant. The Cloud Concealment Sect disciples were left speechless as they witnessed how the heavenly tribulation could be restrained. No one would have believed such a thing unless they had seen it with their own eyes.
zhè xiē rén zhōng ， jué dà bù fèn méi yǒu jiàn guò lín xuān de zhēn miàn mù ， dàn què tīng guò gè zhǒng yǔ tā yǒu guān de chuán shuō 。
这些人中，绝大部分没有见过林轩的真面目，但却听过各种与他有关的传说。
Most of these people hadn't seen Lin Xuan's true form, but many had heard various legends about him. At this moment, all felt genuinely impressed. They said that seeing is believing, and Master Senior Lin truly was an extraordinary figure whose abilities were beyond the comprehension of gods and demons.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， wú bù zhōng xīn pèi fú ， dōu shuō wén míng bù rú jiàn miàn ， lín shī zǔ ， guǒ rán shì yǒu zhe shén guǐ mò cè zhī néng de nì tiān rén wù 。
此时此刻，无不衷心佩服，都说闻名不如见面，林师祖，果然是有着神鬼莫测之能的逆天人物。
Even a young man with the surname Long showed signs of hope in his eyes, thinking that his senior sister might be able to turn danger into safety.
lián lóng xìng shào nián de yǎn zhōng yě lù chū xǐ sè， jué de shī jiě yǒu kě néng huà xiǎn wéi yí le 。
连龙姓少年的眼中也露出喜sè，觉得师姐有可能化险为夷了。
However, before this thought could fully form, Lin Xuan called out softly: "Senior Sister, be careful."
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù tīng lín xuān yī shēng qīng hē ：“ shī jiě ， xiǎo xīn le 。”
然而这个念头尚未转过，就听林轩一声轻喝：“师姐，小心了。”
Following his words, he retracted his hands and emitted a bright green light from his body. He surged forward toward the distance.
suí hòu tā shuāng shǒu yī shōu ， hún shēn qīng máng dà zuò ， jī shè xiàng le yuǎn chù 。
随后他双手一收，浑身青芒大做，激shè像了远处。
Despite his formidable strength, the heavenly tribulation was no easy adversary. Even with all his might, it only delayed the tribulation by a few breaths.
lín xuān shí lì suī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér tiān dào fǎ zé yòu qǐ shì nà me hǎo duì fù ， jí biàn tā jié jìn quán lì ， yě bù guò jiāng tiān jié tuī chí shù xī de gōng fu . .
林轩实力虽非同小可，然而天道法则又岂是那么好对付，即便他竭尽全力，也不过将天劫推迟数息的功夫. .
As Lin Xuan retreated further away, a loud rumbling sound filled the air as the green lightning descended like a hammer.
suí zhe lín xuān tuì wǎng yuǎn chù ， hōng lōng ， bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà qīng sè de jié léi hōng rán xià luò 。
随着林轩退往远处，轰隆，爆裂声传入耳朵，那青sè的劫雷轰然下落。
It seemed unstoppable, threatening to reduce the silver-eyed maiden to dust.
shì rú pò zhú ， fǎng fú yào jiāng yín tóng shào nǚ huà wèi fěn mò 。
势如破竹，仿佛要将银瞳少女化为粉末。
However, compared to her earlier struggles, she appeared more composed this time. She wasn't overly confident, but with only two tribulations left, and given her current condition, she had a high chance of passing through this heavenly tribulation.
rán ér yǔ gāng gāng de láng bèi xiāng bǐ ， zhè yī cì ， yín tóng shào nǚ què xiǎn de zhèn dìng xǔ duō 。
然而与刚刚的狼狈相比，这一次，银瞳少女却显得镇定许多。
She raised both hands and sent a series of spells towards the spirit tripod in front of her. Although it lacked her spiritual consciousness imprint, its use was still manageable.
tán bù shàng xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， dàn zhǐ shèng xià liǎng dào jié léi ér yǐ ， zì jǐ xiàn zài de zhuàng kuàng ， yīng gāi yǒu jí dà bǎ wò jiāng cǐ tiān jié dù guò 。
谈不上胸有成竹，但只剩下两道劫雷而已，自己现在的状况，应该有极大把握将此天劫渡过。
But just as these thoughts passed, something unexpected happened.
zhǐ jiàn cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào dào fǎ jué xiàng zhe shēn qián de líng jué dǐng dǎ le guò qù ， cǐ wù suī rán méi yǒu tā de shén shí yìn jì ， dàn miǎn qiǎng shǐ yòng bìng méi yǒu tài dà de wèn tí 。
只见此女双手抬起，一道道法诀像着身前的灵诀鼎打了过去，此物虽然没有她的神识印记，但勉强使用并没有太大的问题。
The two green lightning bolts merged into one, not simply combining but taking on an entirely new form.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
然而就在这时，异变突起。
No longer were they mere four-clawed dragons; now, horns grew from their heads, and their claws had changed significantly.
nà liǎng dào qīng sè de jié léi wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， biàn chéng le yī gǔ 。
那两道青sè的劫雷往中间一合，变成了一股。
Five-clawed Golden Dragon!
bù ， bù jǐn jǐn shì hé èr wéi yī zhè me jiǎn dān ， xíng tài yě bù tóng yú xiān qián 。
不，不仅仅是合二为一这么简单，形态也不同于先前。
Heavenly Tribulation in the Form of a Dragon!
yuán xiān ， bù guò shì sì zhǎo jiāo lóng ér yǐ ， rú jīn ， bù jǐn tóu shàng yǒu jī jiǎo zhǎng chū 。 zhuǎ zi yě yǔ gāng gāng yǒu le míng xiǎn bù tóng 。
原先，不过是四爪蛟龙而已，如今，不仅头上有犄角长出。爪子也与刚刚有了明显不同。
The silver-eyed maiden was left speechless.
wǔ zhǎo jīn lóng ！
五爪金龙！
It was common knowledge that while there was only one character difference between true dragons and water dragons, they were fundamentally different. The original tribulation had transformed into a dragon form, likely due to Lin Xuan's actions earlier. He had been careful, but still, he had triggered the natural laws of heaven and earth. Thankfully, it was just a minor disturbance; otherwise, even he would have been caught in its effects.
lóng xíng tiān jié ！
龙形天劫！
The situation seemed dire, but not hopeless. As long as her senior sister could hold off this tribulation, everything would be fine.
yín tóng shào nǚ chēng mù jié shé 。
银瞳少女瞠目结舌。
Lin Xuan understood this clearly. The silver-eyed maiden knew it too.
yào zhī dào jiāo lóng yǔ zhēn lóng 。 suī rán jǐn yǒu yī zì zhī chà ér yǐ ， dàn què shì wán quán bù tóng 。
要知道蛟龙与真龙。虽然仅有一字之差而已，但却是完全不同。
But while the idea of surviving was easy to say, actually doing so required immense effort. A heavenly tribulation in dragon form was no trivial matter; it was something only advanced cultivators might encounter during their ascension.
yuán běn de jiāo xíng tiān jié biàn chéng le lóng xíng tiān jié ， dāng rán bú huì shì sī háo yuán gù yě wú ， duō bàn shì lín xuān gāng cái chū shǒu de yuán gù 。
原本的蛟形天劫变成了龙形天劫，当然不会是丝毫缘故也无，多半是林轩刚才出手的缘故。
Though her abilities were commendable, she wasn't at the true tribulation stage. Her strength fell far short compared to those formidable elders.
tā míng míng yǐ jīng hěn xiǎo xīn le ， kě xī hái shì chù dòng le tiān dì fǎ zé ， hǎo zài zhǐ shì hěn qīng wēi de nà zhǒng ， fǒu zé 。 lín xuān zì jǐ yě huì bèi juǎn rù 。
他明明已经很小心了，可惜还是触动了天地法则，好在只是很轻微的那种，否则。林轩自己也会被卷入。
Fortunately, there was only one tribulation of this nature. If there had been more, she would have no chance of survival. With Lin Xuan's aid, she now had some hope.
xiàn zài kàn lái ， qíng kuàng suī rán bù miào ， dàn yě méi yǒu tài zāo ， shī jiě zhǐ yào jiāng zhè dào tiān jié chēng guò ， yī qiè jiù wàn shì dà jí le 。
现在看来，情况虽然不妙，但也没有太糟，师姐只要将这道天劫撑过，一切就万事大吉了。
Evaluating her situation, the silver-eyed maiden’s face turned pale. However, soon, a look of determination replaced her disappointment.
zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。 yín tóng shào nǚ yòu hé cháng bù qīng chǔ ？
这道理，林轩心中有数。银瞳少女又何尝不清楚？
After all, this was a fortunate coincidence, and it wasn't Lin Xuan's fault. Compared to the near-death experience just moments ago, this time offered more chances for survival.
kě shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn xiǎng yào chēng guò yòu nǎ ér shì nà me qīng sōng 。
可说说容易，真想要撑过又哪儿是那么轻松。
Complaining wouldn’t help; she needed to rely on herself to stay alive.
lóng xíng tiān jié fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， chuán shuō xiū shì jìn jiē dù jié cái yǒu kě néng yù dào de 。
龙形天劫非同小可，传说修士进阶渡劫才有可能遇到的。
The maiden’s hands moved rapidly as she cast several spells in quick succession toward the front. The spirit tripod emitted a brilliant light, accompanied by ancient chanting that filled her ears. Various magical techniques formed before her.
yín tóng shào nǚ zī zhì suī rán bù sú ， dàn rú jīn jìn jiē de ， què bú shì zhēn zhèng de dù jié qī ， shí lì yǔ nà ge jí bié de lǎo guài wù xiāng bǐ ， chà le bú shì yī dīng bàn diǎn dì 。
银瞳少女资质虽然不俗，但如今进阶的，却不是真正的渡劫期，实力与那个级别的老怪物相比，差了不是一丁半点地。
Multicolored lights surrounded her body, creating multiple layers of defense. These ancient protective spells were powerful; the mystical aura released from them made it difficult for even several late-stage cultivators to break through their barriers in a short time.
hǎo zài lóng xíng tiān jié jǐn yǒu yī dào ér yǐ ， fǒu zé gēn běn sī háo xuán niàn yě wú 。 tā méi yǒu bàn diǎn xī wàng dù guò 。
好在龙形天劫仅有一道而已，否则根本丝毫悬念也无。她没有半点希望渡过。
However, the power of the dragon tribulation was far greater. Although not as unstoppable as before, it broke through three layers of defenses within just a few breaths.
jí biàn rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng 。 yī jiù wēi xiǎn wú bǐ ， hǎo zài lín shī dì jiè yǔ le tā yī jiàn xuán tiān líng wù 。 zhè cái shēng chū nà me jǐ fēn zhǐ wàng le 。
即便如今这种情况。依旧危险无比，好在林师弟借与了她一件玄天灵物。这才生出那么几分指望了。
The tribulation also dimmed significantly during this process, but the silver-eyed maiden’s expression darkened.
jiāng zì jǐ de chǔ jìng héng liáng qīng chǔ ， yín tóng shào nǚ mǎn liǎn huī bái zhī sè， bù guò hěn kuài ， jǔ sàng de biǎo qíng jiù bèi jiān yì gěi tì dài le 。
将自己的处境衡量清楚，银瞳少女满脸灰白之sè，不过很快，沮丧的表情就被坚毅给替代了。
Defense alone wouldn’t suffice; she needed to counterattack using an offensive spell.
bì jìng zhè biàn gù yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， wú lùn rú hé yě guài bù liǎo lín shī dì de ， hé kuàng yǔ gāng gāng jiǔ sǐ yì shēng xiāng bǐ ， zhè yī cì ， míng xiǎn duō chū le jǐ fēn shēng jī 。
毕竟这变故也是机缘巧合，无论如何也怪不了林师弟的，何况与刚刚九死一生相比，这一次，明显多出了几分生机。
With a finger pointing forward, the spirit tripod began spinning rapidly. Soon, a deep and ancient voice echoed in her ears.
yuàn tiān yóu rén méi yǒu yòng tú ， xiǎng yào huó xià qù jiù yào kào zì jǐ nǔ lì 。
怨天尤人没有用途，想要活下去就要靠自己努力。
Hazy and archaic.
shào nǚ shuāng shǒu fān fēi bù yǐ ， yī lián shù dào fǎ jué cháo zhe qián fāng de fǎ bǎo dǎ chū ， líng jué dǐng háo guāng dà zuò ， bàn suí zhe gǔ piáo de yín chàng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yí gè gè qí miào de fǎ shù chéng xíng le 。
少女双手翻飞不已，一连数道法诀朝着前方的法宝打出，灵诀鼎毫光大做，伴随着古朴的吟唱声传入耳朵，一个个奇妙的法术成型了。
From the spirit tripod, hundreds of fist-sized fireballs flew out, each transforming into different birds mid-flight.
wǔ yán liù sè de guāng huá ， yào yǎn duó mù ， yī lián shù céng fáng yù fáng yù ， jiāng shào nǚ de jiāo qū bāo guǒ 。
五颜六sè的光华，耀眼夺目，一连数层防御防御，将少女的娇躯包裹。
All these birds converged on one point, emitting clear chirping sounds as a fine-feathered bird materialized before them.
zhè xiē shàng gǔ fáng hù fǎ shù wēi lì bù sú ， fú wén piāo dòng jiān chù chù yǒu shén mì de qì xī shì fàng ér chū 。
这些上古防护法术威力不俗，符文飘动间处处有神秘的气息释放而出。
Phoenix!
jiù shì shù míng fèn shén hòu qī de xiū shì chū shǒu ， duǎn shí jiān nèi ， yě nán yǐ jiāng yī céng guāng mù gōng pò 。
就是数名分神后期的修士出手，短时间内，也难以将一层光幕攻破。
The legendary king of all birds!
rán ér lóng xíng tiān jié de wēi lì yào kě pà dé duō ， suī rán tán bù shàng shì rú pò zhú ， dàn jǐn jǐn jǐ xī gōng fu jiù yī lián jiāng sān céng fáng yù tū pò 。
然而龙形天劫的威力要可怕得多，虽然谈不上势如破竹，但仅仅几息功夫就一连将三层防御突破。
"This... is Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!" some high-ranking Cloud Concealment Sect cultivators were left speechless. They couldn't believe their eyes: "Did I see correctly? It's really Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, an ultimate fire element spell from the Five Elements school of magic. It’s said that only late-stage cultivators can cast it, and even then, they need to chant for several hours. Unless in a large-scale sect conflict with many disciples protecting them, this spell has no practical value."
dāng rán ， tiān jié zài zhè ge guò chéng zhōng ， yě àn dàn le xǔ duō ， dàn yín tóng shào nǚ hái shì bó rán biàn sè。
当然，天劫在这个过程中，也黯淡了许多，但银瞳少女还是勃然变sè。
"Correct, an ultimate secret technique of the fire element," another cultivator beside her was equally stunned.
jǐn kào fáng yù shì wú fǎ jiāng zhè wēi xiǎn dù guò ， xū yào yǐ dú gōng dú ， shī zhǎn gōng jī shǔ xìng de fǎ shù 。
仅靠防御是无法将这危险度过，需要以毒攻毒，施展攻击属xìng的法术。
Both were at the late-stage stage, but not privy to the Cloud Concealment Sect’s secrets. They had joined after its expansion and saw each other's shock in their eyes.
yín tóng shào nǚ yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， líng jué dǐng jí sù zhuǎn dòng qǐ lái le ， suí hòu jìng yǒu hóng zhōng dà lǚ yì bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
银瞳少女一指向前点出，随着她的动作，灵诀鼎急速转动起来了，随后竟有洪钟大吕一般的声音传入耳朵。
Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix—there could be no mistake. The silver-eyed maiden being able to cast it instantly must have been due to the artifact Lin Xuan provided.
huì sè gǔ piáo 。
晦涩古朴。
Their hearts raced as they realized the depth of Master Senior Lin’s power. It was no wonder that several legendary tribulation-stage cultivators had fallen to him over the years, and such extraordinary treasures could be casually produced by him.
jǐn jiē zhe ， cóng nà líng jué dǐng zhōng fēi chū yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de huǒ qiú ， zú yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō 。
紧接着，从那灵诀鼎中飞出一个个拳头大小的火球，足有数百之多。
Seeing is believing; their initial thoughts of treachery evaporated with the wind.
nà xiē huǒ qiú fēi chū lái hòu yí gè zhuǎn zhé ， jū rán huàn huà chū wú shù xíng zhuàng bù tóng de xiǎo niǎo lái le 。
那些火球飞出来后一个转折，居然幻化出无数形状不同的小鸟来了。
Meanwhile, in mid-air, the fiery red Phoenix clashed fiercely with the dragon-shaped tribulation.
suí hòu suǒ yǒu de xiǎo niǎo jī shè xiàng yī chù ， wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， yī xì mù zhǎng líng de líng qín fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后所有的小鸟激shè像一处，往中间一合，清鸣声大做，一细目长翎的灵禽浮现而出。
Phoenix and true dragon—though different now, they shared some connection. However, heavenly lightning was no trifling matter. Despite its strength, the ultimate fire spell ultimately failed to prevail.
fèng huáng ！
凤凰！
Fortunately, this weakened the remaining tribulation so much that it couldn't penetrate the last layer of defense and eventually dissipated.
chuán shuō zhōng de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng ！
传说中的百鸟之王！
