不,仅仅是刚才的一招稍落下风。說,.Com
No, just a slight disadvantage in that one move. Say, .Com
dàn zhè tóng yàng lìng rén nán yǐ jiē shòu 。
但这同样令人难以接受。
But this was equally hard to accept.
wú fǎ lǐ jiě , wú fǎ biàn bó , lín xuān zěn me kě néng zhàn shèng jué shì qiáng zhě , tā bù yīng gāi rú tóng lóu yǐ yì bān , bèi niǎn yā diào me ?
无法理解,无法辩驳,林轩怎么可能战胜绝世强者,他不应该如同蝼蚁一般,被碾压掉么?
It couldn't be understood or refuted—how could Lin Xuan possibly defeat a peerless powerhouse? He shouldn't have been crushed like an ant, should he?
wèi hé huì yǒu zhè zhǒng bù kě sī yì de jié guǒ 。
为何会有这种不可思议的结果。
Why would such an unbelievable outcome occur?
suǒ yǒu rén dōu jué de zì jǐ de nǎo dài , yǒu xiē bù gòu yòng 。
所有人都觉得自己的脑袋,有些不够用。
Everyone felt their minds were inadequate.
dì jī sàn rén dī xià tou , kàn le yī yǎn bèi xuè rǎn hóng de xiōng kǒu 。
地玑散人低下头,看了一眼被血染红的胸口。
Dijishan Ren lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained chest. A trace of bitter smile appeared on his lips. However, compared to those spectators, his expression was relatively calm.
tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè 。
他的嘴角边露出一丝苦笑之色。
For how many years had he not been injured? He almost forgot what pain felt like.
dàn xiāng duì lái shuō , biǎo qíng què fǎn ér yào bǐ nà xiē páng guān zhě , píng jìng xǔ duō 。
但相对来说,表情却反而要比那些旁观者,平静许多。
This unknown young man stirred up memories within him.
yǐ jīng duō shǎo nián , bù céng shòu shāng guò , yǐ zhì yú lián téng tòng de gǎn jué , dōu kuài yào huò wàng diào le 。
已经多少年,不曾受伤过,以至于连疼痛的感觉,都快要或忘掉了。
As a reward, let this boy experience his domain.
ér zhè míng bú jiàn jīng zhuàn de xiǎo jiā huo , què huàn qǐ le zì jǐ de jì yì 。
而这名不见经传的小家伙,却唤起了自己的记忆。
Yes, a domain.
zuò wéi jiǎng lì , jiù ràng tā jiàn shí yī xià zì jǐ de lǐng yù 。
作为奖励,就让他见识一下自己的领域。
Why would there be such a disparity in strength between them as late-stage cultivators? This was the dividing line—domains.
méi cuò , lǐng yù 。
没错,领域。
It was said that the laws of nature were incredibly powerful. However, ordinary late-stage cultivators merely understood and then applied these rules to some extent. While they could still unleash formidable power, it was limited.
tóng wèi dù jié hòu qī , wèi hé bǐ cǐ de shí lì huì yǒu ruò yún ní , zhè fēn shuǐ lǐng jiù shì lǐng yù 。
同为渡劫后期,为何彼此的实力会有若云泥,这分水岭就是领域。
Domains, however, were entirely different.
dōu shuō tiān dì fǎ zé qiáng dà dào jí chù , kě yì bān de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě , yě jǐn jǐn shì lǐ jiě , suí hòu zài zhè ge jī chǔ shàng , zuò yī xiē yùn yòng 。
都说天地法则强大到极处,可一般的渡劫期修仙者,也仅仅是理解,随后在这个基础上,做一些运用。
In his domain, he ruled supreme. Even within a domain, new laws could be created according to the user's will. Ice could turn into fire; wind blades could perfectly blend with earth walls. The five elements no longer interacted in their usual ways; everything had its own new set of rules.
gù rán , yě néng fā huī chū qiáng dà de wēi lì , dàn yě jǐn cǐ ér yǐ 。
固然,也能发挥出强大的威力,但也仅此而已。
Compared to simply applying rules, the power was incomparable.
zhì yú lǐng yù , zé shì wán quán bù tóng dì 。
至于领域,则是完全不同地。
He hadn't expected this young man to be able to trigger his domain.
wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ , zài lǐng yù nèi , shèn zhì kě yǐ suí shǐ yòng zhě de xīn yì , chuàng zào chū xīn de fǎ zé 。
我的领域我做主,在领域内,甚至可以随使用者的心意,创造出新的法则。
Impressive!
zài zhè lǐ , bīng kě yǐ biàn chéng huǒ , fēng rèn kě yǐ yǔ tǔ qiáng wán měi róng hé 。
在这里,冰可以变成火,风刃可以与土墙完美融合。
But once his domain was activated, he would surely fall here. Dijishan Ren's face showed a grim determination.
wǔ xíng bù zài xiāng shēng xiāng kè , yī qiè dōu yǒu xīn de fǎ zé 。
五行不再相生相克,一切都有新的法则。
The sky remained clear and bright, but Lin Xuan felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. It was as if a great calamity was about to befall him.
yǔ dān chún de yùn yòng guī zé xiāng bǐ , qí wēi lì , gēn běn jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
与单纯的运用规则相比,其威力,根本就不可同日而语。
Specifically, it was hard to put into words.
méi xiǎng dào , zhè xiǎo jiā huo jū rán néng gòu ràng zì jǐ dòng yòng lǐng yù 。
没想到,这小家伙居然能够让自己动用领域。
Lin Xuan's face also showed a determined expression. At his level of strength, he couldn't afford to ignore omens that appeared during combat. They wouldn't be unfounded.
liǎo bù qǐ !
了不起!
There must be some forewarning.
dàn lǐng yù yī chū , tā yě bì dìng huì zài zhè lǐ zhé yì 。
但领域一出,他也必定会在这里折翼。
After all, although he had defeated the peerless powerhouse with that sword strike, it was mostly by chance. Perhaps the opponent hadn't held back, but it certainly wasn't his full strength either.
wú kě gǎi biàn de jié jú , dì jī sàn rén de liǎn shàng , lù chū yī sī lǐn rán de shā yì 。
无可改变的结局,地玑散人的脸上,露出一丝凛然的杀意。
Lin Xuan knew this well; he wouldn't foolishly believe he was stronger than Dijishan Ren. The real test had just begun.
tiān kōng yī jiù shì qíng lǎng wú bǐ , rán ér lín xuān de xīn lǐ , què mò míng qí miào de gǎn jué huāng luàn yǐ jí 。
天空依旧是晴朗无比,然而林轩的心里,却莫名其妙的感觉慌乱以极。
Could he withstand the opponent's relentless attacks? Lin Xuan himself didn't have much confidence.
nà shì yī zhǒng fǎng fú yào dà huò lín tóu de gǎn chù 。
那是一种仿佛要大祸临头的感触。
But there was no room for retreat now.
jù tǐ de , nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō qīng chǔ 。
具体的,难以用言语说清楚。
He would fight even if it meant defeat.
lín xuān de liǎn shàng yì lù chū yī sī lǐn rán zhī sè , shí lì dào le tā zhè yàng de děng jí , duì yú dòu fǎ zhōng chū xiàn de xīn tóu líng zhào zì rán bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī 。
林轩的脸上亦露出一丝凛然之色,实力到了他这样的等级,对于斗法中出现的心头灵兆自然不敢等闲视之。
To die without a struggle wasn't his style. He could only fight to the death, carving out a path through blood.
nà jué bú huì shì wú dì fàng shǐ 。
那绝不会是无的放矢。
Lin Xuan's gaze became resolute.
yí dìng yǒu zhe shén me yù shì 。
一定有着什么预示。
Or rather, determined beyond measure.
hé kuàng gāng cái nà yī jiàn zì jǐ suī rán dǎ bài le jué shì qiáng zhě , dàn qí shí jiǎo xìng de chéng fèn jū duō 。
何况刚才那一剑自己虽然打败了绝世强者,但其实侥幸的成分居多。
Dijishan Ren couldn't help but show some approval. Setting aside good and bad, this Lin boy was indeed remarkable in both strength and combat skills.
nà yī jiàn duì fāng huò xǔ què rán bù céng liú shǒu guò , dàn yě jué bù kě néng shì tā quán bù shí lì zhī tǐ xiàn de 。
那一剑对方或许确然不曾留手过,但也绝不可能是他全部实力之体现的。
If given more time to grow, he might truly pose a threat.
zhè yì diǎn , lín xuān xīn lǐ qīng chǔ , tā kě bù huì yú chǔn de rèn wéi , zì jǐ jiù bǐ dì jī sàn rén gèng qiáng le 。
这一点,林轩心里清楚,他可不会愚蠢的认为,自己就比地玑散人更强了。
Danger had to be eliminated at its source.
zhēn zhèng de kǎo yàn , cái gāng gāng kāi shǐ 。
真正的考验,才刚刚开始。
This time, he wouldn't allow him to leave alive.
jiē xià lái , zì jǐ néng fǒu dǎng zhù duì fāng rú kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ yì bān de gōng jī , shuō shí huà , lín xuān xīn lǐ yě méi dǐ 。
接下来,自己能否挡住对方如狂风骤雨一般的攻击,说实话,林轩心里也没底。
"Here's your move—my domain!"
dàn xiàn zài , zǎo yǐ méi yǒu tuì suō de yú dì 。
但现在,早已没有退缩的余地。
Dijishan Ren suddenly raised his head, spreading his hands. An astonishing aura erupted from his body, as if the void was melting away. The world spun and turned.
dǎ bù guò yě yào dǎ 。
打不过也要打。
All the laws of nature became chaotic at this moment.
shù shǒu dài bì , bú shì zì jǐ de fēng gé , jiē xià lái , wéi yǒu pīn mìng , shā chū yī tiáo xuè lù 。
束手待毙,不是自己的风格,接下来,唯有拼命,杀出一条血路。
Even the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed unable to be attracted.
lín xuān de yǎn shén , biàn dé jiān dìng qǐ lái le 。
林轩的眼神,变得坚定起来了。
No… more than that; it appeared even the Nine Palaces Sword had flown far into the distance, its spiritual connection with him severed by some mysterious force.
huò zhě shuō , jué rán yǐ jí 。
或者说,决然以极。
"This… how is this possible!"
dì jī sàn rén , yě bù yóu de liú lù chū jǐ fēn zàn xǔ , pāo kāi hào wù bù tí , zhè lín xiǎo zi bù lùn shí lì , hái shì zhàn dòu de jì qiǎo , dōu què rán liǎo bù qǐ 。
地玑散人,也不由得流露出几分赞许,抛开好恶不提,这林小子不论实力,还是战斗的技巧,都确然了不起。
Lin Xuan's face changed dramatically. This was the power of a domain—leaving him no strength to retaliate. At this moment, Lin Xuan deeply understood its terrifying nature.
rú guǒ zài gěi tā yī xiē shí jiān chéng zhǎng xià qù , shuō bù dìng zhēn huì wēi xié dào zì jǐ 。
如果再给他一些时间成长下去,说不定真会威胁到自己。
In fact, domains weren't unfamiliar to Lin Xuan either.
wēi xiǎn yào è shā zài méng yá lǐ 。
危险要扼杀在萌芽里。
Although he hadn't yet mastered them, in his view, it was only a matter of time before he did. This was similar to Tiao Xiaojian's confidence. So, Lin Xuan had prepared extensively beforehand.
zhè yī cì , jué bù róng xǔ tā zài cóng zhè lǐ huó zhe zǒu chū qù 。
这一次,绝不容许他再从这里活着走出去。
Ancient texts, legends…
“ kàn zhāo , lǐng yù !”
“看招,领域!”
He had almost delved into everything related to domains.
dì jī sàn rén měng rán tái qǐ tóu lú , shuāng shǒu zhāng kāi , yī gǔ jīng rén de qì shì , cóng tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn hōng rán bó fā chū lái 。
地玑散人猛然抬起头颅,双手张开,一股惊人的气势,从他的身体表面轰然勃发出来。
Originally, he thought he understood domains quite well.
xū kōng fǎng fú bèi róng huà le yì bān , tiān xuán dì zhuàn 。
虚空仿佛被融化了一般,天旋地转。
But now, he realized it was just self-delusion. As the saying goes, seeing is believing; this was particularly apt here.
suǒ yǒu de fǎ zé zhī lì , dōu zài zhè yī kè biàn dé hùn luàn 。
所有的法则之力,都在这一刻变得混乱。
No matter how many books he read or stories he heard, his understanding of a domain remained merely an imagination.
tiān dì yuán qì , sì hū yě wú fǎ xī yǐn guò lái 。
天地元气,似乎也无法吸引过来。
The phrase "my domain I control" was already familiar, but exactly how to operate it required firsthand experience.
bù …… bù zhǐ rú cǐ , fǎng fú lián jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn dōu yào fēi xiàng tiān biān , yǔ zì jǐ jiān de xīn shén lián xì , yě bèi yī gǔ shén mì de lì liàng gē duàn 。
不……不止如此,仿佛连九宫须臾剑都要飞向天边,与自己间的心神联系,也被一股神秘的力量割断。
At this moment, Lin Xuan felt like a small boat in a storm, always on the verge of capsizing.
“ zhè …… zěn me kě néng !”
“这……怎么可能!”
Impossible. Would he really fall here?
lín xuān liǎn sè dà biàn 。
林轩脸色大变。
Lin Xuan roared inwardly, his frustration reaching its peak. But trapped within the opponent's domain, he was like a person in a nightmare, knowing danger was near but unable to move an inch.
zhè biàn shì lǐng yù de lì liàng me , jū rán huì ràng zì jǐ yì diǎn huán shǒu de lì liàng yě wú , cǐ kè lín xuān shēn qiè tǐ huì dào le tā de kě pà zhī chù 。
这便是领域的力量么,居然会让自己一点还手的力量也无,此刻林轩深切体会到了它的可怕之处。
Unable to do anything, he could only watch helplessly as he fell.
qí shí yào shuō lǐng yù , duì lín xuān lái shuō shì bìng bù mò shēng dì 。
其实要说领域,对林轩来说是并不陌生地。
That feeling was too suffocating.
suī rán tā hái bù céng lǐng wù , dàn zài lín xuān kàn lái , nà yě bù guò shì chí zǎo de 。
虽然他还不曾领悟,但在林轩看来,那也不过是迟早的。
Lin Xuan's anger burned fiercely, yet he couldn't break free from the domain. This time, he finally understood what it meant to be a peerless powerhouse.
zhè yì diǎn , lín xuān dǎo shì yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn de xìn xīn xiāng chà fǎng fú , suǒ yǐ lín xuān tí zǎo , jiù zuò le xǔ duō gōng kè 。
这一点,林轩倒是与田小剑的信心相差仿佛,所以林轩提早,就做了许多功课。
Damn it, would he really fall here?
shàng gǔ diǎn jí , gè zhǒng chuán shuō ……
上古典籍,各种传说……
What would happen if he died? What about Yue'er, Qinxin, and Peacock?
fán shì yǔ lǐng yù yǒu guān de , lín xuān jī hū dōu shè liè guò 。
凡是与领域有关的,林轩几乎都涉猎过。
Lin Xuan struggled desperately, but the domain was too powerful. The force was unfamiliar; in his urgency, breaking free from the domain seemed impossible.
yuán běn tā zì rèn wéi duì lǐng yù yǐ jīng fēi cháng liǎo jiě le 。
原本他自认为对领域已经非常了解了。
Everything ended here.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , lín xuān cái zhī dào , nà bù guò shì yè láng zì dà bà le , sú huà shuō , bǎi wén bù rú yī dǔ , yòng zài zhè lǐ nà shì zuì tiē qiè bù guò 。
然而此时此刻,林轩才知道,那不过是夜郎自大罢了,俗话说,百闻不如一睹,用在这里那是最贴切不过。
No matter how talented you were—like the former Asura King—without growth, it would only result in bitter regret.
kàn zài duō de diǎn jí , tīng zài duō de chuán shuō , guī gēn jié dǐ , duì yú lǐng yù de rèn zhī , yě bù guò shì xiǎng xiàng ér yǐ 。
看再多的典籍,听再多的传说,归根结底,对于领域的认知,也不过是想象而已。
Dijishan Ren sighed. Eliminating a prodigy wasn't what he wanted, but Lin Xuan's recklessness led to this outcome. He had chosen his path and ultimately met his demise.
wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ , zhè jù huà yǐ shì ěr shú néng xiáng le , dàn jiū jìng gāi zěn me yùn zuò , hái shì xū yào qiè shēn tǐ huì cái qīng chǔ 。
我的领域我做主,这句话已是耳熟能详了,但究竟该怎么运作,还是需要切身体会才清楚。
The matter was settled here, but was the ending truly so?
cǐ shí cǐ kè , lín xuān gǎn jué , zì jǐ jiù xiàng fēng bào zhōng de yí yè piān zhōu , suí shí dōu yǒu kě néng qīng fù 。
此时此刻,林轩感觉,自己就像风暴中的一叶扁舟,随时都有可能倾覆。
As Lin Xuan faced imminent death, a bright sword light emerged from the horizon… no, even farther away, seemingly from a thousand miles away.
bù kě néng , nán dào zì jǐ zhēn huì zài zhè lǐ yǔn luò ?
不可能,难道自己真会在这里陨落?
But it instantly pierced through the void, appearing here in an unbelievable manner.
lín xuān xīn zhōng nù hǒu , bù gān xīn dào jí chù , kě zhì shēn duì fāng de lǐng yù , jiù fǎng fú xiàn rù mèng yǎn de fán rén , míng zhī dào wēi xiǎn lín jìn , piān piān què dòng bù liǎo yī gēn shǒu zhǐ tou 。
林轩心中怒吼,不甘心到极处,可置身对方的领域,就仿佛陷入梦魇的凡人,明知道危险临近,偏偏却动不了一根手指头。
The sword light was like snow, its brilliance indescribable. It didn't carry any trace of laws but sliced into Dijishan Ren's domain without sound.
shén me yě bù néng zuò , zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe zì jǐ yǔn luò 。
什么也不能做,只能眼睁睁看着自己陨落。
Dijishan Ren's face turned pale as if a river had burst its banks. The originally impenetrable domain appeared with cracks.
nà gǎn jué tài biē qū le 。
那感觉太憋屈了。
Cracks caused by the sword light.
lín xuān xīn zhōng de fèn nù rú huǒ , què wú fǎ zhèng tuō lǐng yù de shù fù , zhè yī cì , zhōng yú tǐ huì dào le shén me jiào zuò jué shì qiáng zhě 。
林轩心中的愤怒如火,却无法挣脱领域的束缚,这一次,终于体会到了什么叫做绝世强者。
Primordial energy rushed in, and the once flawless domain began to crack.
kě wù , nán dào zhēn de huì zài zhè lǐ zhé yì me ?
可恶,难道真的会在这里折翼么?
Awakened from his nightmare, Lin Xuan felt a surge of joy, sensing a connection with his innate treasure.
No, just a slight disadvantage in that one move. Say, .Com
But this was equally hard to accept.
It couldn't be understood or refuted—how could Lin Xuan possibly defeat a peerless powerhouse? He shouldn't have been crushed like an ant, should he?
Why would such an unbelievable outcome occur?
Everyone felt their minds were inadequate.
Dijishan Ren lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained chest. A trace of bitter smile appeared on his lips. However, compared to those spectators, his expression was relatively calm.
