yú chǔn de xiǎo jiā huo ， tā yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǐ jīng yǔn luò yú kōng jiān fēng bào me ？
愚蠢的小家伙，他以为自己已经陨落于空间风暴么？
Stupid little fellow, did he think that he had perished in the spatial storm?
yǐ wéi shì qíng zhì cǐ yǐ jīng gào yí duàn luò ， cóng cǐ kě yǐ gāo zhěn wú yōu le ？
以为事情至此已经告一段落，从此可以高枕无忧了？
Did he believe things were over and he could now sleep soundly without worry?
tài tiān zhēn le ！
太天真了！
Too naive!
yōu míng àn wáng de yǎn zhōng ， yǒu yīn mái de de guāng máng shǎn guò 。
幽冥暗王的眼中，有阴霾的的光芒闪过。
Darkness flickered across the eyes of the Dark King of the Netherworld.
bú huì ràng nǐ táo de ， yǔ tóng jiè suī miàn jī guǎng bó ， dàn yě bú huì yǒu nǐ de róng shēn zhī chù ， yǒu zhāo yī rì nǐ qiàn běn wáng de zhài ， huì qiān bèi wàn bèi de tǎo huí lái 。
不会让你逃的，雨桐界虽面积广博，但也不会有你的容身之处，有朝一日你欠本王的债，会千倍万倍的讨回来。
You won't escape this time. Although the Rain桐 Realm is vast, there's no place for you to hide. One day, when you owe me a debt, I will repay it tenfold.
zhè yī qiè ， tián xiǎo jiàn bìng bù xiǎo de 。
这一切，田小剑并不晓得。
None of this was known to Tian Xiaojian.
ér lái dào yǔ tóng jiè de dǐng jí dà néng ， yě yuǎn bù zhǐ yōu míng àn wáng yí gè 。
而来到雨桐界的顶级大能，也远不止幽冥暗王一个。
And the顶级 powerhouses arriving in the Rain桐 Realm weren't just the Dark King of the Netherworld.
tiān sè yǒu xiē huì àn ， zhè lǐ shì rén jì hǎn zhì de hóng huāng dà zé 。
天色有些晦暗，这里是人迹罕至的洪荒大泽。
The sky was overcast, and this was an uninhabited primeval swamp. Venomous creatures and fierce beasts were plentiful here, but even flying birds couldn't cross it, let alone ordinary mortals.
dú chóng měng shòu jí duō ， què shì fēi niǎo nán dù ， zhì yú pǔ tōng de fán rén ， jiù gèng bù kě néng chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ le 。
毒虫猛兽极多，却是飞鸟难渡，至于普通的凡人，就更不可能出现在这里了。
Suddenly, a streak of red light appeared on the horizon, racing towards them at breakneck speed.
tū rán ， tiān biān què chū xiàn le yī dào hóng guāng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， cháo zhe zhè biān jí sù fēi chí ér lái le 。
突然，天边却出现了一道红光，风驰电掣，朝着这边急速飞驰而来了。
In the red light, a shrewd old man could be vaguely seen, his face filled with panic. Behind him, several black clouds, resembling ink, chased after him viciously.
hóng guāng zhōng yǐn yuē kě jiàn yī zéi méi shǔ yǎn de lǎo zhě ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì huáng jí zhī sè ， ér zài tā hòu miàn ， zé yǒu jǐ dào hēi qì ， qí xíng rú mò ， zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de zhuī shàng lái le 。
红光中隐约可见一贼眉鼠眼的老者，脸上满是惶急之色，而在他后面，则有几道黑气，其形如墨，张牙舞爪的追上来了。
The old man's cultivation was no less than the Void Profound realm; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to venture into this snake-infested and beast-filled wilderness.
lǎo zhě xiū wèi bù dī ， zú yǒu dòng xuán jí ， fǒu zé yě bù gǎn dǎn dà bāo tiān de lái dào zhè dú shé měng shòu jù jū de jué dì 。
老者修为不低，足有洞玄级，否则也不敢胆大包天的来到这毒蛇猛兽聚居的绝地。
He had originally sought a spirit object, but instead, he ended up losing more than he gained. He encountered several powerful beasts that nearly cost him his life.
yuán běn shì wèi qiú yī líng wù ， nǎ zhī dào què tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， yù jiàn le jǐ tóu yāo shòu lì hài yǐ jí ， chà diǎn jiāng xiǎo mìng ér sòng zài zhè lǐ 。
原本是为求一灵物，哪知道却偷鸡不成蚀把米，遇见了几头妖兽厉害以极，差点将小命儿送在这里。
Although he managed to escape by fleeing, those beasts showed no signs of giving up; they continued to chase after him relentlessly.
suī rán tā jiàn jī dé kuài ， sān shí liù jì ， liū zhī dà jí 。
虽然他见机得快，三十六计，溜之大吉。
Fighting wasn't an option, and running was equally impossible for the time being.
rán ér nà jǐ tóu yāo shòu què háo wú xī shì níng rén zhī yì ， jìng zài hòu miàn jǐn zhuī bù yǐ 。
然而那几头妖兽却毫无息事宁人之意，竟在后面紧追不已。
The old man's regret was palpable as he thought about how foolish it had been to come here. He should have brought some trusted friends with him if he wanted to seek out treasures. With their help, he wouldn’t be in such a predicament now.
dǎ ， dǎ bù guò ， táo ， yī shí bàn huì er què yòu wú fǎ bǎi tuō 。
打，打不过，逃，一时半会儿却又无法摆脱。
But there were no "ifs" in the real world or in the cultivation realm.
zhè dǎo méi de lǎo zhě xīn zhōng yǐ zài hòu huǐ bù dié le 。
这倒霉的老者心中已在后悔不迭了。
With his current strength, he was no match for those beasts. If they engaged in combat, it would be like throwing a rock at a mountain; but fleeing still offered some hope.
zǎo zhī dào cǐ dì ， jìng bǐ wài miàn chuán yán de hái yào kě pà yī xiē ， zì jǐ jiù bù gāi mào mào rán lái dào zhè lǐ ， jiù suàn yào lái xún zhǎo bǎo wù ， yě yīng gāi jiào shàng jǐ míng zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu ， ruò yǒu tā men xiāng zhù ， cǐ kè yě bú huì bèi jǐ tóu yāo shòu bī pò dé rú cǐ láng bèi le 。
早知道此地，竟比外面传言的还要可怕一些，自己就不该冒冒然来到这里，就算要来寻找宝物，也应该叫上几名至交好友，若有他们相助，此刻也不会被几头妖兽逼迫得如此狼狈了。
Understanding this, the old man made no hesitation and waved his hands, driving his遁光 to its utmost limit.
rán ér xiàn shí shì jiè méi yǒu rú guǒ ， xiū xiān jiè yòu qǐ huì yǒu hòu huǐ yī shuō ？
然而现实世界没有如果，修仙界又岂会有后悔一说？
However, even with this, he only had a fifty percent chance of escaping. In other words, whether or not he could escape was purely down to luck.
yǐ tā de shí lì 。 shì jué duì méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ hòu miàn de jǐ tóu yāo shòu xiāng bǐ ， ruò shì shēng sǐ xiāng bó ， kě yǐ shuō yǔ ná jī dàn zhuàng shí tou chà bu duō ， ér táo ， zé hái yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī 。
以他的实力。是绝对没有办法与后面的几头妖兽相比，若是生死相搏，可以说与拿鸡蛋撞石头差不多，而逃，则还有一线生机。
Now, there was nothing more he could do but rely on his efforts while leaving the rest to fate.
míng bái zhè ge dào lǐ ， lǎo zhě nǎ lǐ huì yǒu sī háo de yóu yù ， shuāng shǒu fǎ jué huī wǔ bù yǐ ， jiāng dùn guāng qū shǐ dào le jí zhì 。
明白这个道理，老者哪里会有丝毫的犹豫，双手法诀挥舞不已，将遁光驱使到了极致。
This scene in the cultivation realm was quite common and occurred at every moment across different realms.
kě jí biàn zhè yàng ， tā yì zhǐ yǒu wǔ chéng de bǎ wò ， huàn jù huà shuō 。 néng fǒu tuō xiǎn ， zhǐ yǒu kàn yùn qì rú hé 。
可即便这样，他亦只有五成的把握，换句话说。能否脱险，只有看运气如何。
The old man might escape or become a meal for those beasts.
dàn xiàn zài ， yǐ guǎn bù liǎo xǔ duō ， jìn rén shì ， ér tīng tiān mìng le 。
但现在，已管不了许多，尽人事，而听天命了。
But today, something unexpected happened. The sky suddenly became pitch black, despite the sun still shining.
zhè zài xiū xiān jiè yuán běn shì hěn píng cháng de yí mù ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， měi shí měi kè ， dōu zài bù tóng de jiè miàn shàng yǎn 。
这在修仙界原本是很平常的一幕，甚至可以说，每时每刻，都在不同的界面上演。
A howling wind rose, and the primordial energy in the world seemed to become chaotic all of a sudden. Lightning flashed across the clear sky without any clouds.
lǎo zhě yě xǔ néng gòu táo tuō ， yě xǔ huì chéng wéi yāo shòu kǒu zhōng de guǒ fù zhī wù 。
老者也许能够逃脱，也许会成为妖兽口中的果腹之物。
The old man was so startled that he forgot about his pursuers and stopped his遁光.
rán ér jīn tiān 。 què piān piān chū xiàn dì sān zhǒng qíng kuàng le 。
然而今天。却偏偏出现第三种情况了。
Fortunately, the beasts chasing him also stopped. The black clouds inside were still visible, but their eyes showed signs of surprise.
shì xiān fēn háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， yuán běn huì àn de tiān sè tū rán biàn dé shēn shǒu bù jiàn wǔ zhǐ le 。
事先分毫征兆也无，原本晦暗的天色突然变得伸手不见五指了。
Sizzle...
tài yáng míng míng méi yǒu là xià shān pō ， tiān sè què huì àn dào lián miàn duì miàn dōu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
太阳明明没有落下山坡，天色却晦暗到连面对面都看不清楚。
A crack appeared in the sky, stretching several dozen feet long, deep beyond measure.
wū ……
呜……
Then a black light ball emerged from it, emitting blue electric arcs.
kuáng fēng dà zuò 。
狂风大做。
"Shattering the void!"
tiān dì jiān de yuán qì ， zài zhè yī chà nà gèng shì mò míng qí miào de biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí 。
天地间的元气，在这一刹那更是莫名其妙的变得混乱以极。
The old man's eyes widened as he recognized this technique. While rare, breaking the void wasn't unheard of in the Rain桐 Realm.
míng míng méi yǒu wū yún 。 què yǒu shǎn diàn huà pò tiān jì 。
明明没有乌云。却有闪电划破天际。
Those with such power were invariably high-ranking cultivators who had passed their trials.
lǎo zhě yī dāi ， shèn zhì wàng le hòu miàn de wēi xiǎn ， jiāng dùn guāng tíng le xià lái 。
老者一呆，甚至忘了后面的危险，将遁光停了下来。
Could there be a powerful being from another realm here?
hǎo zài hòu miàn jǐn zhuī bù shě de yāo zú ， cǐ kè yě shì tóng yàng de dòng zuò 。 nà jǐ dào hēi qì ， yī yàng shì tíng xià lái le ， lǐ miàn de guài wù suī rán kàn bù qīng chǔ 。 dàn mù guāng zhōng ， sì hū yě yǒu jīng yí zhī sè 。
好在后面紧追不舍的妖族，此刻也是同样的动作。那几道黑气，一样是停下来了，里面的怪物虽然看不清楚。但目光中，似乎也有惊疑之色。
This thought made the old man uneasy, unsure if it was good or bad luck.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The beasts also showed no signs of aggression; they stood still, looking harmless.
kōng jiān suì liè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tiān kōng zhōng chū xiàn le yī tiáo liè fèng 。
空间碎裂的声音传入耳朵，天空中出现了一条裂缝。
"Big sister, is this the Rain桐 Realm?"
zhǎng shù zhàng yú ， yōu shēn wú bǐ 。
长数丈余，幽深无比。
A melodious voice sounded in his ears.
suí hòu yí gè hēi sè de guāng qiú chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， yòu nà liè fèng zhōng pēn bó ér chū ， biǎo miàn hái dài zhe yī dào dào wèi lán sè de diàn hú 。
随后一个黑色的光球出现在视线里，又那裂缝中喷薄而出，表面还带着一道道蔚蓝色的电弧。
"How so? Have you never been here before?" another voice responded with surprise.
“ pò suì xū kōng ！”
“破碎虚空！”
"Yes, during the last inter-realm war. But there are countless spirit realms, and I haven't visited the Rain桐 Realm," the first voice sighed.
nà zéi méi shǔ yǎn de lǎo zhě yī xià zi dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， sú huà shuō ， méi chī guò zhū ròu ， zǒng jiàn guò zhū pǎo ， yǔ tóng jiè gāo shǒu shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， pò suì xū kōng suī rán hǎn jiàn ， dàn zài zhè lǐ bìng bù néng shuō shì chuán shuō 。
那贼眉鼠眼的老者一下子瞪大了眼珠，俗话说，没吃过猪肉，总见过猪跑，雨桐界高手数不胜数，破碎虚空虽然罕见，但在这里并不能说是传说。
Both voices were enchanting, but the old man was shocked by their tone. Could these be senior cultivators from the Spirit Realm?
dàn yǒu zhè ge shí lì de ， wú yī lì wài dōu shì dù jié jí bié de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
但有这个实力的，无一例外都是渡劫级别的高阶修仙者。
He couldn’t help trembling as he raised his head. It was too late to run now.
jū rán yǒu dà néng kuà jiè lái dào le cǐ chù ？
居然有大能跨界来到了此处？
The black light ball had already dispersed into two graceful young women.
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， lǎo zhě bù yóu de xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， bù zhī dào shì fú shì huò 。
一念至此，老者不由得心中忐忑，不知道是福是祸。
One on the left was slender, wearing a white dress with bare feet, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall, stunningly beautiful and breathtakingly gorgeous.
zhì yú nà jǐ tóu yāo shòu ， qíng kuàng yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu yī sī xiōng lì zhī sè ， guāi guāi de zài yuán dì dài zhe 。
至于那几头妖兽，情况也相差仿佛，哪里还有一丝凶厉之色，乖乖的在原地待着。
The other woman, though less attractive, was still striking in her colorful attire. Her hair danced in the wind, giving an impression of a venomous snake uncoiling its head.
“ jiě jiě ， zhè lǐ jiù shì yǔ tóng jiè me ？”
“姐姐，这里就是雨桐界么？”
Their identities were clear: Ice Soul Ancestor and Treasure Snake Ancestor had finally arrived at the Rain桐 Realm after careful preparation.
tū rán ， yī dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然，一动听的声音传入耳朵。
At this moment, despite their efforts to release spiritual pressure, the aura of evil was evident on both of them.
“ zěn me ， mèi mèi nǐ bù céng lái guò ？” lìng yī shēng yīn yǒu xiē chà yì le 。
“怎么，妹妹你不曾来过？”另一声音有些诧异了。
The old man's eyes widened in fear as he realized they were ancient demons, possibly even Ancestors.
“ ń ， shàng yī cì jiè miàn dà zhàn kāi qǐ ， dàn líng jiè de xiǎo jiè miàn hé děng zhī duō ， wǒ què shì méi yǒu lái guò yǔ tóng jiè de 。” qián yí gè shēng yīn tàn xī de kāi kǒu le 。
“嗯，上一次界面大战开启，但灵界的小界面何等之多，我却是没有来过雨桐界的。”前一个声音叹息的开口了。
No wonder he was scared. Ancient demons and Spirit Realm cultivators weren’t mortal enemies, but they certainly didn't get along well either.
liǎng gè shēng yīn jiē dòng tīng yǐ jí ， rán ér yī páng de lǎo zhě què shì tīng dé dà jīng shī sè ， zhè kǒu qì ， pò jiè lái de bú shì líng jiè qián bèi me ？
两个声音皆动听以极，然而一旁的老者却是听得大惊失色，这口气，破界来的不是灵界前辈么？
While it wasn’t a matter of life or death for them to avoid each other, an ancient demon entering the Spirit Realm had its own motives.
tā bù yóu de zhàn zhàn jīng jīng de tái qǐ tóu lú ， yīn wèi zhè shí hòu táo yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
他不由得战战兢兢的抬起头颅，因为这时候逃也没有用处。
And this secret just happened to be discovered by him. Would he be killed to silence him?
zhè shí hòu ， nà hēi sè de guāng qiú ， yǐ jīng sàn kāi le 。
这时候，那黑色的光球，已经散开了。
The answer was obvious.
liǎng gè fēng zī zhuó yuè de shào nǚ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
两个风姿卓越的少女映入眼帘。
With this thought, the old man no longer hesitated and flicked out a talisman from his sleeve. His movements were fluid as he attached it to his body.
zuǒ biān yí gè ， shēn cái miáo tiáo ， bái yī chì zú ， yī tóu yín sè de xiù fà yǒu rú pù bù ， xiù měi wú pǐ ， yǒu zhe qīng guó qīng chéng de jué sè 。
左边一个，身材苗条，白衣赤足，一头银色的秀发有如瀑布，秀美无匹，有着倾国倾城的绝色。
This talisman had been hard-won after much effort; he hadn’t used it earlier because of its importance. But now facing two ancient demons, he dared not hide anything.
lìng wài yī míng shào nǚ ， suī rán bù rú tā měi lì ， què yě shì míng yàn zhào rén dì ， yī shēn yī fú ， huā huā lǜ lǜ ， jí shì yàn lì ， tóu fà suí fēng fēi wǔ ， yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì kàn cuò ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， què xiàng shì áng shǒu tǔ xīn de dú shé 。
另外一名少女，虽然不如她美丽，却也是明艳照人地，一身衣服，花花绿绿，极是艳丽，头发随风飞舞，也不知道是不是看错，给人的感觉，却像是昂首吐芯的毒蛇。
The talisman glowed briefly before igniting on its own. The old man vanished like a void shattering, reappearing at the horizon.
liǎng rén de shēn fèn yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
两人的身份已呼之欲出。
But neither Ancestor noticed him.
bīng pò shèng zǔ yǔ bǎo shé shèng zǔ ， liǎng rén jīng xīn zhǔn bèi yǐ hòu ， zhōng yú hái shì lái dào yǔ tóng jiè le 。
冰魄圣祖与宝蛇圣祖，两人精心准备以后，终于还是来到雨桐界了。
They made no move as if they hadn’t seen him escape. However, just when the old man thought his luck was good, an inexplicable force struck him without any warning.
ér zhè shí hòu ， tā men shēn shàng suī rán kè yì jiāng líng yā fàng chū ， dàn yī shēn mó qì ， què shì yì diǎn yǎn shì yě wú 。
而这时候，她们身上虽然刻意将灵压放出，但一身魔气，却是一点掩饰也无。
"Bang!"
nà zéi méi shǔ yǎn de lǎo zhě dùn shí dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， liǎn shàng háo bù yǎn shì de liú lù chū jí wéi kǒng jù de shén sè 。
那贼眉鼠眼的老者顿时瞪大了眼珠，脸上毫不掩饰的流露出极为恐惧的神色。
His body exploded into a bloody mist, and even his essence didn't escape; he was completely obliterated.
Stupid little fellow, did he think that he had perished in the spatial storm?
Did he believe things were over and he could now sleep soundly without worry?
Too naive!
Darkness flickered across the eyes of the Dark King of the Netherworld.
You won't escape this time. Although the Rain桐 Realm is vast, there's no place for you to hide. One day, when you owe me a debt, I will repay it tenfold.
...
None of this was known to Tian Xiaojian.
And the顶级 powerhouses arriving in the Rain桐 Realm weren't just the Dark King of the Netherworld.
The sky was overcast, and this was an uninhabited primeval swamp. Venomous creatures and fierce beasts were plentiful here, but even flying birds couldn't cross it, let alone ordinary mortals.
