yī shí jiān ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， lín xuān zhè cì chū shǒu ， sī háo bǎo liú yě wú 。
一时间，破空声大做，林轩这次出手，丝毫保留也无。
The air was filled with the sound of breaking void as Lin Xuan made no attempt to hold back this time. His strength had reached such a level that he could sense threats with incredible sharpness. He did not want any unexpected changes during his critical moment.
shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， duì yú wēi xié de gǎn chù ， zì rán shì mǐn ruì wú bǐ 。
实力到了他这个等级，对于威胁的感触，自然是敏锐无比。
Since advancing to the Tribulation Transcending stage, his growth in power was beyond measure. Originally, he was confident about this move, but the bizarre and unpredictable nature of the cultivation world defied common logic. The sword light was swift, yet the dragon showed no fear. It opened its mouth and exhaled, meeting the sword light head-on.
wēi xiǎn yào è shā zài méng yá lǐ 。
危险要扼杀在萌芽里。
On the surface, it seemed laughable—like an ant trying to shake a tree. However, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as his bad feeling intensified. In the next moment, the exhaled breath expanded thousands of times, creating a black hurricane that swept across the entire realm.
yǎn kàn yào jiāng yún zhōng xiān zi shēng qín huó zhuō ， lín xuān zì rán bù xī wàng zài zhè guān jiàn shí kè fā shēng biàn gù 。
眼看要将云中仙子生擒活捉，林轩自然不希望在这关键时刻发生变故。
The sharp sword light was scattered like leaves in a storm, and what seemed like a swift attack was easily neutralized. How could this be?
zì cóng jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， tā shí lì de zēng zhǎng bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì ， yuán běn zhè yī cì chū shǒu ， shì xiōng yǒu chéng zhú dì ， rán ér xiū xiān jiè zhī guāng guài lù lí ， bù kě yǐ chuāi zhī yǐ cháng lǐ 。
自从进阶到渡劫期，他实力的增长不可以道里计，原本这一次出手，是胸有成竹地，然而修仙界之光怪陆离，不可以揣之以常理。
Lin Xuan's eyes widened in shock. He had anticipated a formidable opponent but never imagined it would be so powerful. However, he remained calm despite his astonishment, quickly regaining composure after just a few minutes.
jiàn guāng gù rán xùn jí ， kě nà jiāo lóng què háo wú wèi jù 。
剑光固然迅疾，可那蛟龙却毫无畏惧。
His eyes glinted as he began to seriously assess the formidable enemy before him.
zhāng kāi kǒu ， tǔ le kǒu qì 。
张开口，吐了口气。
Roar!
xiàng zhe jiàn guāng yíng le shàng qù 。
像着剑光迎了上去。
The dragon's roar echoed, and the demonic aura grew even more astonishing. It rose into the sky, coiled around itself once, and finally revealed its form—a black dragon over ten meters long, exuding a heart-stopping demonic aura from every scale. Each scale was glossy, like stars in the night sky.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， kě xiào yǐ jí ， shuō pí fú hàn shù ， yě háo wú kuā zhāng zhī chù ， rán ér lín xuān què tóng kǒng wēi suō ， xīn zhōng bù hǎo de yù gǎn ， fǎn ér yuè fā de qiáng liè qǐ lái le 。
表面上看，可笑以极，说蚍蜉撼树，也毫无夸张之处，然而林轩却瞳孔微缩，心中不好的预感，反而越发的强烈起来了。
Despite being over a hundred meters away, Lin Xuan felt the terrifying pressure pressing down on him. It was unlike any spiritual pressure he had experienced before.
xià yī kè nà kǒu tǔ xī ， jū rán yíng fēng kuò dà le qiān bǎi bèi yǒu yú ， yī dào hēi méng méng de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。
下一刻那口吐息，居然迎风扩大了千百倍有余，一道黑蒙蒙的飓风凭空而起。
Late Tribulation Period!
rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， xí juǎn zhěng gè tiān dì 。
如疾风骤雨，席卷整个天地。
And it wasn't just an ordinary late-stage monster. Although they had only met once, Lin Xuan knew this was a formidable and tricky opponent.
xī lì de jiàn guāng ， jū rán bèi chōng le gè qī líng bā luò ， kàn shì xùn měng de gōng shì ， jiù zhè yàng qīng yì bèi huà jiě le 。
犀利的剑光，居然被冲了个七零八落，看似迅猛的攻势，就这样轻易被化解了。
His expression darkened as he spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "This is the Fairy's backup? No wonder you never showed any signs of panic. Do you really think a mere dragon can stop me?"
zěn me kě néng ？
怎么可能？
"Test it if you must."
lín xuān chēng mù jié shé ， tā kàn chū zhè jiǎo jú de duì shǒu bù hǎo yìng fù ， dàn zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， huì qiáng dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
林轩瞠目结舌，他看出这搅局的对手不好应付，但做梦也不曾想，会强到如此地步。
Qin Yan smiled: "Brother Lin, let’s be frank. You don’t need to test anything further. Your keen eye wouldn't mistake this for an ordinary dragon, right? Sister asks again—do you truly wish to become a Heavenly Demon from beyond the world?"
dàn lín xuān bì jìng bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， zhèn jīng zhī yú ， què bìng wú zì luàn zhèn jiǎo yī shuō ， ér qiě duǎn duǎn de jǐ fēn zhōng ， jiù chóng xīn lěng jìng xià lái le 。
但林轩毕竟不是普通的修仙者，震惊之余，却并无自乱阵脚一说，而且短短的几分钟，就重新冷静下来了。
"As long as you cooperate with me, I won’t make life difficult for the cultivators of the Eagle Nest Pavilion."
shuāng mù yì máng shǎn shuò ， kāi shǐ rèn zhēn shěn shì qǐ yǎn qián de qiáng dí lái le 。
双目异芒闪烁，开始认真审视起眼前的强敌来了。
Qin Yan's voice was filled with sincerity.
hǒu ！
吼！
"I naturally agree to turn swords into plowshares, but on one condition: no connection whatsoever with the Heavenly Demons," Lin Xuan replied calmly.
lóng yín shēng dà zuò ， nà mó qì yuè fā de jīng rén yǐ jí 。
龙吟声大做，那魔气越发的惊人以极。
"Is that so? What a pity."
chōng tiān ér qǐ ， yí gè pán xuán zhī hòu ， zhōng yú xiǎn lù chū yī tóu hēi sè de jiāo lóng lái le 。
冲天而起，一个盘旋之后，终于显露出一头黑色的蛟龙来了。
Qin Yan lowered her head, a hint of desolation flashing in her eyes. There was no point in continuing this conversation; it would only be self-defeating and futile.
zhǎng shù shí zhàng yú ， hún shēn shàng xià dōu sàn fà zhe lìng rén xīn jì de mó qì 。
长数十丈余，浑身上下都散发着令人心悸的魔气。
At that moment, the black dragon roared: "Fairy, you don’t need to waste your words on this brat. Since he’s spurning my offer, let him see the might of the Demon Dragon King."
tā de lín jiǎ shì chún hēi sè dì 。
它的鳞甲是纯黑色地。
"Dragon King? What arrogance! Do you think I’m unaware of the relationship between the Three Demonic Kings and the Ten Thousand Dragon King?"
dàn yī piàn yī piàn què jí fù guāng zé 。 fǎng fú yè kōng zhōng de xīng chén bù tíng shǎn shuò 。
但一片一片却极富光泽。仿佛夜空中的星辰不停闪烁。
"What did you say?" Lin Xuan's casual remark had caused the black dragon to leap up like a cat with its tail stepped on. Qin Yan’s face also turned pale.
lín xuān yǔ tā xiāng gé bǎi zhàng yú ， dàn nà kě pà de wēi yā yī jiù shì pū miàn ér zhì 。
林轩与它相隔百丈余，但那可怕的威压依旧是扑面而至。
Although the strange expression was fleeting, Lin Xuan, a highly perceptive cultivator, immediately suspected something. Could this guy really be related to one of the Three Demonic Kings, the Ten Thousand Dragon King?
ràng rén jí bù shū fú ， piān piān yǔ líng yā què yòu shì jié rán bù tóng dì 。
让人极不舒服，偏偏与灵压却又是截然不同地。
Confused, but time was running out. The black dragon's claws swung down towards him, and the sound of breaking glass filled his ears as cracks appeared in the space before it.
dù jié hòu qī ！
渡劫后期！
As its claws struck again, those cracks shot forward like arrows through space.
ér qiě jué fēi pǔ tōng de hòu qī yāo zú kě bǐ 。
而且绝非普通的后期妖族可比。
Spatial techniques!
suī rán zhǐ yǔ tā jiāo shǒu guò yī cì ， dàn lín xuān què kě yǐ kěn dìng ， zhè shì jí wéi nán chán de qiáng dí 。
虽然只与它交手过一次，但林轩却可以肯定，这是极为难缠的强敌。
Using spatial rifts as weapons? Lin Xuan’s face turned pale. This was no ordinary attack; it was far more terrifying than any claw or blade.
liǎn sè yīn chén xià qù 。
脸色阴沉下去。
A common cultivator would likely be unable to withstand such an assault, but Lin Xuan couldn’t afford to use common sense here.
dàn hěn kuài 。 zuǐ jiǎo biān yòu lù chū yī sī jī fěng de xiào yì ：“ zhè jiù shì xiān zi de hòu shǒu me ， guài bù dé nǐ zì shǐ zhì zhōng dōu bù céng huāng luàn guò ， dàn nǐ bú huì zhēn de yǐ wéi ， qū qū yī tóu jiāo lóng jiù kě yǐ dǎng zhù wǒ ？”
但很快。嘴角边又露出一丝讥讽的笑意：“这就是仙子的后手么，怪不得你自始至终都不曾慌乱过，但你不会真的以为，区区一头蛟龙就可以挡住我？”
Facing the approaching spatial rifts, he didn't dodge and didn't release his protective qi shield. Instead, he walked towards them with a boldness that left onlookers in shock.
“ bù shì shì zěn me xiǎo de 。”
“不试试怎么晓得。”
This was not just reckless; it was risking his life. But was Lin Xuan really so foolish?
qín yán yě xiào le ：“ lín xiōng ， míng rén miàn qián bù shuō àn huà ， nǐ yě wú xū zài shì tàn shén me 。 yǐ nǐ de yǎn guāng ， yòu qǐ huì jiāng tā dàng chéng yī tóu pǔ tōng de jiāo lóng ， xiǎo mèi zhè lǐ zài wèn yī cì ， nǐ zhēn de bù yuàn yì chéng wéi yù wài tiān mó ？”
秦妍也笑了：“林兄，明人面前不说暗话，你也无需再试探什么。以你的眼光，又岂会将它当成一头普通的蛟龙，小妹这里再问一次，你真的不愿意成为域外天魔？”
The answer was no.
“ zhǐ yào nǐ yuàn yì yǔ wǒ hé zuò ， bài xuān gé de xiū shì wǒ zì rán yě bú huì wéi nán tā men shén me 。”
“只要你愿意与我合作，拜轩阁的修士我自然也不会为难他们什么。”
Seeing this, the Demon Dragon King’s face showed genuine concern as its claws slowed down. The spatial rifts became more vivid and soon surrounded Lin Xuan.
qín yán de shēng yīn chōng mǎn le zhēn chéng zhī sè 。
秦妍的声音充满了真诚之色。
Snap!
“ lín mǒu dāng rán yuàn yì huà gān gē wéi yù bó ， dàn qián tí shì 。 yǔ yù wài tiān mó ， bú yào yǒu yī sī yī háo de qiān chě 。”
“林某当然愿意化干戈为玉帛，但前提是。与域外天魔，不要有一丝一毫的牵扯。”
A crack sliced towards him, far more terrifying than any blade. However, an unbelievable scene unfolded: the crack effortlessly pierced through Lin Xuan's body without a drop of blood. He seemed to become a phantom.
lín xuān zì rán bú huì bèi duì fāng gǔ huò ， biǎo qíng dàn rán de jù jué le 。
林轩自然不会被对方蛊惑，表情淡然的拒绝了。
"Your sword spirit has transformed into nothingness—this is the secret technique of the Hundred Flowers Fairy. You have achieved true unity with your sword, even making your body intangible."
“ shì me ， zhè tài kě xī le 。”
“是么，这太可惜了。”
The Demon Dragon King’s face showed disbelief as other cracks failed to hit their mark. At this moment, Lin Xuan was within arm's reach.
qín yán dī xià tou lú ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn shǎn guò yī sī luò jì zhī sè 。
秦妍低下头颅，眼中隐隐闪过一丝落寂之色。
"You recognize my opponent’s ultimate skill; you truly are impressive. Now try the power of Brother Lin!"
bù zài duō shuō ， jì xù quàn xià qù yě bù guò shì zì qǔ qí rǔ ， gēn běn bú huì yǒu fēn háo de yòng tú 。
不再多说，继续劝下去也不过是自取其辱，根本不会有分毫的用途。
With a sharp cry, countless dazzling rays shot out from his body, each one more intense than the last. Even the Demon Dragon King couldn’t help but turn pale at their intensity.
ér jiù zài zhè shí 。 nà hēi sè de jiāo lóng páo xiāo qǐ lái le ：“ xiān zi wú xū yǔ zhè xiǎo zi duō fèi chún shé ， tā jì rán jìng jiǔ bù chī chī fá jiǔ ， jiù ràng tā jiàn shí jiàn shí wǒ mó jiāo wáng de lì hài hǎo le 。”
而就在这时。那黑色的蛟龙咆哮起来了：“仙子无需与这小子多费唇舌，他既然敬酒不吃吃罚酒，就让他见识见识我魔蛟王的厉害好了。”
Trying to dodge, but too late. With a roar, light flared as numerous magical runes burst forth from its massive form.
“ mó jiāo wáng ， hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， jiù bù zhī dào gé xià ， yǔ sān dà sàn xiān zhōng de wàn jiāo wáng zěn me chēng hū ？”
“魔蛟王，好大的口气，就不知道阁下，与三大散仙中的万蛟王怎么称呼？”
Sharp light flashed, and an unbelievable scene unfolded: those rays were reflected back.
“ nǐ shuō shén me ？”
“你说什么？”
A flash of light revealed thin, ethereal swords like dragonfly wings.
lín xuān yuán běn zhǐ shì suí kǒu yī shuō ， rán ér nà hēi sè de jiāo lóng tīng le ， què rú tóng bèi cǎi zhe wěi ba de māo yì bān ， bèng qǐ lái le 。
林轩原本只是随口一说，然而那黑色的蛟龙听了，却如同被踩着尾巴的猫一般，蹦起来了。
Lin Xuan’s face showed no sign of defeat as he cast out countless spells. The sharp swords converged into a single giant sword, emitting terrifying spiritual pressure.
The air was filled with the sound of breaking void as Lin Xuan made no attempt to hold back this time. His strength had reached such a level that he could sense threats with incredible sharpness. He did not want any unexpected changes during his critical moment.
Since advancing to the Tribulation Transcending stage, his growth in power was beyond measure.
