“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
"Is that so?"
tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng yě yuè fā níng zhòng le 。
田小剑的表情也越发凝重了。
田小剑's expression grew even more serious.
tā yǔ mó zú dà tǒng lǐng suī shì gè qǔ suǒ xū ， dàn zhì shǎo xiàn zài ， shì yī róng jù róng ， yī sǔn jù sǔn 。
他与魔族大统领虽是各取所需，但至少现在，是一荣俱荣，一损俱损。
Although he and the Demon Lord Grand Commander had their own interests, at least now they were in this together—rise or fall. There was no reason for him to be misled by the other party.
duì fāng méi yǒu lǐ yóu wù dǎo zì jǐ 。
对方没有理由误导自己。
Moreover, his judgment was not far off. The wind blades that attacked earlier were all composed of spatial force, each one incredibly powerful. Yet, the other party casually defused hundreds of them with a single strike.
ér qiě tā de pàn duàn ， yì shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
而且他的判断，亦是相差仿佛。
Such strength would be hard for even an old monster who had passed through tribulation to achieve.
gāng cái nà xiē fēng rèn ， měi yī piàn ， dōu shì yóu kōng jiān zhī lì zǔ hé ér chéng ， wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， duì fāng què suí shǒu yī jī ， jiù huà jiě le shù bǎi piàn zhī duō 。
刚才那些风刃，每一片，都是由空间之力组合而成，威力非同小可，对方却随手一击，就化解了数百片之多。
With such a casual response, this individual must indeed be among the top in the Three Realms. His father's words that his strength was on par with the Golden Moon Corpse King and Heavenly Saber Bright King weren't just idle talk.
zhè yàng de shí lì ， biàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě hěn nán zuò dào de 。
这样的实力，便是渡劫后期的老怪物，也很难做到的。
Among the great powers of the Three Realms, there were few like him. Who exactly was before him?
rú cǐ qīng miáo dàn xiě ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nà yě shì zuì dǐng jí ， yì fù shuō tā de shí lì néng yǔ jīn yuè shī wáng ， tiān shā míng wáng xiāng chà fǎng fú ， bìng bù suàn hú yán luàn yǔ 。
如此轻描淡写，放眼三界，那也是最顶级，义父说他的实力能与金玥尸王，天煞明王相差仿佛，并不算胡言乱语。
Fielding this thought, Field Sword fell into silence.
ér sān jiè zhī zhōng ， zhè yàng de dà néng nà shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， yǎn qián de ， jiū jìng shì nǎ yī wèi ne ？
而三界之中，这样的大能那是屈指可数，眼前的，究竟是哪一位呢？
At this moment, the ancient and imposing voice spoke again: "Why so hesitant, young friend? You don’t trust me, but your strength is already on its last legs. Why should I harm you when you can only end up dead here eventually?"
tián xiǎo jiàn xiàn rù le chén mò 。
田小剑陷入了沉默。
That made sense!
ér zhè shí ， nà gǔ piáo wēi yán de shēng yīn zài cì piāo guò lái le ：“ zěn me ， xiǎo yǒu ， nǐ xìn bù guò lǎo fū ， nǐ de shí lì suī rán bù sú ， dàn fǎ lì yǐ dào le bīn lín kū jié de dì bù ， lǎo fū hé bì duì nǐ bù lì ， nǐ zì jǐ liú zài zhè lǐ ， chí zǎo yì shì yí gè shēn sǐ yǔn luò de jié jú 。”
而这时，那古朴威严的声音再次飘过来了：“怎么，小友，你信不过老夫，你的实力虽然不俗，但法力已到了濒临枯竭的地步，老夫何必对你不利，你自己留在这里，迟早亦是一个身死陨落的结局。”
Field Sword clenched his teeth. Whether it was good fortune or bad, he couldn't avoid it.
zhè huà yán zhī yǒu lǐ ！
这话言之有理！
He decided to take a chance and loudly responded: "I thank your hospitality, but if you've already seen that my strength is spent, how could you have the energy to go with you?"
tián xiǎo jiàn yǎo le yǎo yá ， shì fú bú shì huò ， shì huò duǒ bù guò ！
田小剑咬了咬牙，是福不是祸，是祸躲不过！
"Ha! Since I say so, I must have the means. Here, swallow this pill first."
tā jué dìng bó yī bó 。
他决定搏一搏。
Hearing Field Sword's response, the other party seemed delighted.
yú shì yáng shēng tǔ qì ， huí yìng qǐ le duì fāng de wèn tí 。
于是扬声吐气，回应起了对方的问题。
Dark winds surged, and a black light actually broke through the spatial storm before dissipating. A small gourd appeared in his sight.
“ zài xià duō xiè dào yǒu hǎo yì ， zhǐ shì nǐ jì rán yǐ jīng kàn chū wǒ yóu jǐn dēng kū ， yòu zěn me yǒu yú lì dào nǐ nà ér qù ？”
“在下多谢道友好意，只是你既然已经看出我油尽灯枯，又怎么有余力到你那儿去？”
Field Sword reached out to take it, turned it upside down, and poured out a dark-black immortal pill from within.
“ hēi ， běn wáng jì rán zhè me shuō ， zì rán shì yǒu bǎ wò ， néng gòu jiě jué dào yǒu yǎn qián de nán tí ， lái ， nǐ xiān jiāng zhè dān yào fú xià qù 。”
“嘿，本王既然这么说，自然是有把握，能够解决道友眼前的难题，来，你先将这丹药服下去。”
Though black, there was nothing special about its appearance. Field Sword certainly wouldn't easily consume something of unknown origin.
tīng le tián xiǎo jiàn de huí dá ， duì fāng sì hū dà xǐ 。
听了田小剑的回答，对方似乎大喜。
However, the Demon Lord Grand Commander's voice entered his ears with excitement: "This is... Soul-Stealing Pill of the Netherworld?"
suí hòu yīn fēng dà zuò ， yī dào hēi máng ， jū rán jiāng nà kōng jiān fēng bào pò kāi ， suí hòu hēi máng xiāo sàn 。 yí gè bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de hú lú ， yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随后阴风大做，一道黑芒，居然将那空间风暴破开，随后黑芒消散。一个巴掌大小的葫芦，映入了眼帘。
"Soul-Stealing Pill of the Netherworld?"
tián xiǎo jiàn shēn shǒu jiē guò ， jiāng hú lú kǒu dào zhuǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn dào chū le yī lì yǒu hēi sè de xiān dān 。
田小剑伸手接过，将葫芦口倒转，从里面倒出了一粒黝黑色的仙丹。
Field Sword froze, his expression filled with trepidation. The name itself wasn't good, and indeed, the other party had no benevolent intentions.
hēi hū hū ， kàn bù chū yǒu shén me tè yì zhī chù ， tián xiǎo jiàn dāng rán bù kěn qīng yì fú shí zhè zhǒng lái lì bù míng de dōng xī 。
黑乎乎，看不出有什么特异之处，田小剑当然不肯轻易服食这种来历不明的东西。
"Little Sword, you're overthinking it. Though this pill's name sounds outrageous, only the Netherworld Dark King can forge such an unparalleled divine treasure. Compared to some immortal pills that replenish essence energy and recover magical power in the Immortal Realm, it won't be inferior. Your luck is truly good."
mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de shēng yīn ， què shì shí chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chōng mǎn le jīng xǐ zhī sè ：“ zhè shì ， yōu míng duó pò dān ？”
魔族大统领的声音，却适时传入耳朵，充满了惊喜之色：“这是，幽冥夺魄丹？”
"What? Netherworld Dark King?"
“ yōu míng duó pò dān ？”
“幽冥夺魄丹？”
Field Sword's face turned pale. The painful lessons from his last trip to the Netherworld had left a deep impression on him. He couldn’t help but feel anxious at the thought of encountering one of the Six Kings again.
tián xiǎo jiàn yī dāi ， liǎn shàng gèng shì lù chū le jì dàn de biǎo qíng lái 。 tīng míng zì jiù bú shì shén me hǎo dōng xī ， duì fāng guǒ rán duì zì jǐ bù huái hào yì 。
田小剑一呆，脸上更是露出了忌惮的表情来。听名字就不是什么好东西，对方果然对自己不怀好意。
Once bitten by a snake, one fears even ropes for three years. That was precisely the case here.
“ jiàn ér ， nǐ xiǎng duō le 。 zhè dōng xī tīng míng zì suī rán yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， què shì yōu míng àn wáng cái néng liàn zhì de wú shàng shén wù ， yǔ xiān jiè yī xiē bǔ chōng yuán qì ， huī fù fǎ lì de dān yào xiāng bǐ ， yě bú huì xùn sè 。 nǐ de yùn qì hái dàng zhēn bù sú 。”
“剑儿，你想多了。这东西听名字虽然有些离谱，却是幽冥暗王才能炼制的无上神物，与仙界一些补充元气，恢复法力的丹药相比，也不会逊色。你的运气还当真不俗。”
However, this fear was just an instinctive reaction. Field Sword wasn't an ordinary cultivator; he could be described as having a bold heart.
“ shén me ， yōu míng àn wáng ？”
“什么，幽冥暗王？”
He quickly regained his composure.
tián xiǎo jiàn bó rán biàn sè ， zhè cì yīn sī jiè zhī lǚ ， gěi tā de cǎn tòng jiào xùn wěi shí tài guò shēn kè ， yǐ zhì yú tián xiǎo jiàn dōu yǒu xiē tán hǔ biàn sè 。
田小剑勃然变色，这次阴司界之旅，给他的惨痛教训委实太过深刻，以至于田小剑都有些谈虎变色。
While the Heavenly Saber Bright King and Golden Moon Corpse King might not like him, it didn’t mean that the other four would also oppose him.
tīng shuō yòu yǔ yīn sī liù wáng zhōng de yí gè jiā huo xiá lù xiāng yù ， tā xīn zhōng zěn me kě néng ān zhī rú yí 。 bù chōng mǎn jīng jù 。
听说又与阴司六王中的一个家伙狭路相遇，他心中怎么可能安之如饴。不充满惊惧。
Their meeting here was just a matter of chance.
yī zhāo bèi shé yǎo ， sān nián pà jǐng shéng ， dà yuē jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
一朝被蛇咬，三年怕井绳，大约就是这个道理。
What to fear?
bù guò zhè zhǒng jiè jù zhǐ shì yī shùn jiān de běn néng fǎn yìng ér yǐ 。 tián xiǎo jiàn dào dǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， shuō dǎn dà bāo tiān yě bù wèi guò 。
不过这种戒惧只是一瞬间的本能反应而已。田小剑到底不是普通的修仙者，说胆大包天也不为过。
If the other party wanted to fight him, they wouldn't have helped earlier.
hěn kuài jiù huī fù píng jìng le 。
很快就恢复平静了。
Of course, despite this, he couldn't let his guard down.
tiān shā míng wáng ， jīn yuè shī wáng suī yǔ zì jǐ guò bù qù ， què bìng bù dài biǎo yīn sī liù wáng zhōng de qí tā jǐ gè jiā huo ， yě huì yǔ zì jǐ wèi dí 。
天煞明王，金玥尸王虽与自己过不去，却并不代表阴司六王中的其他几个家伙，也会与自己为敌。
"Father, are you sure there's no mistake with the Soul-Stealing Pill of the Netherworld? The other party won’t be setting traps or doing anything?"
zì jǐ yǔ yōu míng àn wáng zài zhè lǐ xiāng yù 。 bù guò shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ér yǐ 。
自己与幽冥暗王在这里相遇。不过是机缘巧合而已。
"Don't worry. Although my strength hasn't fully recovered, my vision and insight haven't diminished. I've seen this Soul-Stealing Pill before; it’s not a trick," the Demon Lord Grand Commander confidently said.
pà shén me ？
怕什么？
"Alright, then I can relax."
duì fāng ruò yù yǔ zì jǐ wèi dí ， gāng cái yě bú huì chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。
对方若欲与自己为敌，刚才也不会出手相助。
Field Sword's face showed relief as he no longer hesitated, swallowing the Soul-Stealing Pill of the Netherworld.
dāng rán 。 huà suī shì zhè yàng shuō ， fáng bèi zhī xīn ， què bù néng yīn cǐ fàng xià 。
当然。话虽是这样说，防备之心，却不能因此放下。
It dissolved on contact with his mouth. He felt his nearly depleted magical power surge in his dantian.
“ yì fù ， zhè yōu míng duó pò dān nǐ què dìng bú huì yǒu cuò ， duì fāng bú huì gù bù yí zhèn ， zuò shén me shǒu jiǎo ba ？”
“义父，这幽冥夺魄丹你确定不会有错，对方不会故布疑阵，做什么手脚吧？”
...
“ fàng xīn ， lǎo fū de shí lì suī rán shàng wèi huī fù ， dàn yǎn guāng jiàn shí ， què bú huì bǐ yǐ qián xùn sè shén me ， zhè yōu míng duó pò dān wǒ céng jīng jiàn guò ， bú huì yǒu cuò ， shàng miàn yě jué méi yǒu dòng shǒu jiǎo shén me 。” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng zì xìn mǎn mǎn de shuō 。
“放心，老夫的实力虽然尚未恢复，但眼光见识，却不会比以前逊色什么，这幽冥夺魄丹我曾经见过，不会有错，上面也绝没有动手脚什么。”魔族大统领自信满满的说。
As for Field Sword’s condition, Lin Xuan had reached a dead end.
“ zhè yàng me ， nà wǒ jiù fàng xīn le 。”
“这样么，那我就放心了。”
Facing the true spirit tribulation clouds, whether it was Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire or the Nine Palaces Instant Sword, none were of any use. Even先天灵宝 (Primordial Treasure) couldn't withstand them.
tián xiǎo jiàn liǎn shàng lù chū xīn rán zhī sè ， bù zài chí yí ， yī yǎng tóu ， jiāng yōu míng duó pò dān tūn luò jìn qù 。
田小剑脸上露出欣然之色，不再迟疑，一仰头，将幽冥夺魄丹吞落进去。
Of course, this wasn’t due to the treasures' insufficient power but because Lin Xuan's strength had been significantly weakened during his tribulation ascent, so even the Primordial Treasures could only exert a fraction of their true power.
rù kǒu jí huà ， suí hòu tā gǎn jué yuán běn yǐ jīng kū jié de fǎ lì ， xùn sù zài dān tián zhōng shēng téng ér qǐ 。
入口即化，随后他感觉原本已经枯竭的法力，迅速在丹田中升腾而起。
He managed to hold on for a moment before being shattered into pieces.
……
……
The heavenly tribulation was fierce. Lin Xuan was at the brink of life and death.
tián xiǎo jiàn de jìng kuàng qiě bù tí ， lín xuān rú jīn ， yì dào le shān qióng shuǐ jìn de jìng dì 。
田小剑的境况且不提，林轩如今，亦到了山穷水尽的境地。
Moon Heart was anxious, desperately wanting to go up but was held back by Xiao Tao and Menglue.
miàn duì zhēn líng jié yún ， bù lùn huàn líng tiān huǒ ， hái shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， dōu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， shèn zhì lián xiān tiān líng bǎo ， yì dǐ dǎng bú zhù 。
面对真灵劫云，不论幻灵天火，还是九宫须臾剑，都没有用处，甚至连先天灵宝，亦抵挡不住。
Even if she sacrificed herself, it would be in vain. The laws of heaven were immutable; whether he could overcome this crisis depended on Lin Xuan himself.
dāng rán ， bìng bú shì xiān tiān zhī bǎo wēi lì bù zú ， ér shì jìn jí dù jié zhī shí ， lín xuān de shí lì dà dǎ zhé kòu le xǔ duō ， yǐ zhì yú xiān tiān líng bǎo de wēi lì zhǐ néng fā huī chū pí máo 。
当然，并不是先天之宝威力不足，而是晋级渡劫之时，林轩的实力大打折扣了许多，以至于先天灵宝的威力只能发挥出皮毛。
Lin Xuan's complexion had taken on a grayish hue.
miǎn qiǎng dǐ dǎng le piàn kè ， suí hòu jiù bèi dǎ dé qī líng bā luò diào le 。
勉强抵挡了片刻，随后就被打得七零八落掉了。
But he wouldn't give up so easily.
tiān jié měng è ， lín xuān yǐ dào le shēng sǐ yī xiàn de shí kè 。
天劫猛恶，林轩已到了生死一线的时刻。
He now had only his last resort.
yuè ér xīn zhōng jiāo jí ， bù gù yī qiè de xiǎng yào shàng qù ， què bèi xiǎo táo yǔ míng xuě sǐ sǐ lā zhù 。
月儿心中焦急，不顾一切的想要上去，却被小桃与冥雪死死拉住。
Five Dragon Seal!
tā jí biàn xī shēng le zì jǐ yě yú shì wú bǔ ， tiān dào zì yǒu qí fǎ zé ， néng fǒu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， zuì hòu hái shì zhǐ yǒu kàn lín xuān zì jǐ 。
她即便牺牲了自己也于事无补，天道自有其法则，能否化险为夷，最后还是只有看林轩自己。
The secret second to the Blue Star Sea on his person.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yǐ duō le jǐ fēn huī bài zhī sè 。
林轩的脸色已多了几分灰败之色。
Only this treasure might be able to block the heavenly tribulation.
dàn tā zì rán bù kě néng yīn cǐ jiù fàng qì de 。
但他自然不可能因此就放弃的。
Though his magical power was scarce, the Five Dragon Seal primarily consumed light points from the Blue Star Sea.
rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià zuì hòu de shǒu duàn le 。
如今只剩下最后的手段了。
This was a necessary choice. Once the Five Dragon Seal was activated, it could attract more terrifying old monsters.
wǔ lóng xǐ ！
五龙玺！
However, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to think about that now; survival was his top priority.
zì jǐ shēn shàng jǐn cì yú lán sè xīng hǎi de mì mì 。
自己身上仅次于蓝色星海的秘密。
With a mental command, Lin Xuan sighed and sent out a divine thought. The Five Dragon Seal spun rapidly as it began absorbing light points from the Blue Star Sea.
wéi yǒu zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， yǒu kě néng jiāng tiān jié dǎng zhù 。
唯有这件宝物，有可能将天劫挡住。
In an instant, half of them were absorbed.
jǐn guǎn zì jǐ shēn shàng de fǎ lì yǐ jīng bù duō ， dàn wǔ lóng xǐ suǒ xiāo hào de ， shì yǐ lán sè xīng hǎi zhōng de guāng diǎn wéi zhǔ 。
尽管自己身上的法力已经不多，但五龙玺所消耗的，是以蓝色星海中的光点为主。
Then, a flash of multicolored light appeared in the void, revealing the Five Dragon Seal.
dāng rán ， zhè yě shì bù dé yǐ de xuǎn zé 。
当然，这也是不得已的选择。
A domineering aura emanated from its surface.
wǔ lóng xǐ yí dàn jì chū ， yǒu kě néng yǐn lái gèng duō ， gèng kě pà de lǎo guài wù 。
五龙玺一旦祭出，有可能引来更多，更可怕的老怪物。
Flashes of divine light occurred with each flicker, revealing different纹阵 (array formations).
rán ér lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ gù bù dé ， bǎo mìng cái shì dì yī yào wù 。
然而林轩现在已顾不得，保命才是第一要务。
This treasure was indeed extraordinary. It gave off an impression far surpassing that of Immortal Mansion treasures.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yī dào shén niàn fā chū ， wǔ lóng xǐ dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， xùn sù kāi shǐ xī shōu lán sè xīng hǎi zhōng de guāng diǎn 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩叹了口气，一道神念发出，五龙玺滴溜溜一转，迅速开始吸收蓝色星海中的光点。
Primordial Treasures paled in comparison to it.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， jiù jiāng guāng diǎn xī shōu le yī xiǎo bàn 。
顷刻之间，就将光点吸收了一小半。
These words sounded outrageous but were entirely accurate. Although Lin Xuan didn't know the origin of the Five Dragon Seal, he guessed with high certainty that it had been passed down from the Immortal Realm and was no ordinary treasure.
suí hòu dàn jiàn wǔ sè de xiá guāng yī shǎn ， wǔ lóng xǐ yǐ zài xū kōng zhī zhōng fú xiàn 。
随后但见五色的霞光一闪，五龙玺已在虚空之中浮现。
The next scene confirmed his suspicions.
yī gǔ pì nì zhī qì yóu qí biǎo miàn sàn fà chū lái 。
一股睥睨之气由其表面散发出来。
Initially, Lin Xuan's choice of this treasure was out of desperation. He estimated that it could resolve the current crisis but didn't expect the method to be so incredible.
líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， qiě měi yī cì shǎn dòng jiān ， dōu yǒu bù tóng de wén zhèn fú xiàn 。
灵光狂闪，且每一次闪动间，都有不同的纹阵浮现。
Upon the Five Dragon Seal’s appearance, all nine true spirits surrounding him showed fear.
zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， sì hū hái yào shèng guò xiān fǔ qí zhēn xǔ duō 。
这件宝物，果然非同小可，给人的感觉，似乎还要胜过仙府奇珍许多。
Yes, fear!
xiān tiān líng bǎo yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， yì yào xùn sè 。
先天灵宝与它相比，亦要逊色。
They had originally transformed from tribulation clouds and should have no spirit awareness, yet at this moment, they displayed very human-like expressions of fear.
zhè huà tīng qǐ lái lí pǔ ， dàn què méi yǒu rèn hé kuā zhāng zhī chù ， wǔ lóng xǐ de lái lì lín xuān suī rán bù xiǎo de ， dàn jù tā tuī cè ， shí yǒu **， yě shì yóu xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái de 。
这话听起来离谱，但却没有任何夸张之处，五龙玺的来历林轩虽然不晓得，但据他推测，十有**，也是由仙界流传下来的。
Not only did they stop attacking Lin Xuan but scattered in a panic.
ér qiě zài zhēn xiān jiè ， dōu bú shì yì bān de bǎo wù 。
而且在真仙界，都不是一般的宝物。

"Is that so?"
田小剑's expression grew even more serious.
Although he and the Demon Lord Grand Commander had their own interests, at least now they were in this together—rise or fall. There was no reason for him to be misled by the other party.
Moreover, his judgment was not far off. The wind blades that attacked earlier were all composed of spatial force, each one incredibly powerful. Yet, the other party casually defused hundreds of them with a single strike.
Such strength would be hard for even an old monster who had passed through tribulation to achieve.
With such a casual response, this individual must indeed be among the top in the Three Realms. His father's words that his strength was on par with the Golden Moon Corpse King and Heavenly Saber Bright King weren't just idle talk.

"What? Netherworld Dark King?"
Field Sword's face turned pale. The painful lessons from his last trip to the Netherworld had left a deep impression on him. He couldn’t help but feel anxious at the thought of encountering one of the Six Kings again.

These words sounded outrageous but were entirely accurate. Although Lin Xuan didn't know the origin of the Five Dragon Seal, he guessed with high certainty that it had been passed down from the Immortal Realm and was no ordinary treasure.
The next scene confirmed his suspicions.
Initially, Lin Xuan's choice of this treasure was out of desperation. He estimated that it could resolve the current crisis but didn't expect the method to be so incredible.
Upon the Five Dragon Seal’s appearance, all nine true spirits surrounding him showed fear.
Yes, fear!
They had originally transformed from tribulation clouds and should have no spirit awareness, yet at this moment, they displayed very human-like expressions of fear.
Not only did they stop attacking Lin Xuan but scattered in a panic.
