cǐ shí lín xuān de shén zhì dōu yǒu xiē mí hū ， jǐn jǐn shì píng zhe yī gǔ yì lì ， zài jiāng bǎo shé bào zhù 。
此时林轩的神智都有些迷糊，仅仅是凭着一股毅力，在将宝蛇抱住。
Lin Xuan's mind was a bit hazy as he clung to the precious snake with sheer willpower.
huǎng hū jiān ， nǎ lǐ hái gù dé shàng fēn biàn sī suǒ ， bù guǎn sān qī èr shí yī ， cóng bèi hòu yī kǒu xiàng bǎo shé yǎo luò 。
恍惚间，哪里还顾得上分辨思索，不管三七二十一，从背后一口像宝蛇咬落。
In a daze, he didn't bother distinguishing or thinking too much. He simply bit down on the snake from behind like it was a precious snake.
xiān xuè bèng jiàn ér chū 。
鲜血迸溅而出。
Blood splattered out.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè yàng de dǎ fǎ wú lài yǐ jí ， dàn lín xuān de yǎo hé lì ， nà yě shì kě quān kě diǎn dì 。
平心来说，这样的打法无赖以极，但林轩的咬合力，那也是可圈可点地。
To be honest, such a fighting style was quite desperate, but Lin Xuan's biting force was commendable. It could match that of his peers among the妖族, even saying he was only stronger and not weaker. He acted like a fierce tiger descending from the mountains, tearing at the precious snake with all his might.
pì měi tóng jiē yāo zú ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō zhǐ qiáng bù ruò ， tā jiù rú tóng yī tóu xià shān de měng hǔ ， yǎo zhù bǎo shé pīn mìng sī chě 。
媲美同阶妖族，甚至可以说只强不弱，他就如同一头下山的猛虎，咬住宝蛇拼命撕扯。
The precious snake was in agony and rage, on the verge of losing her mind.
bǎo shé yòu tòng yòu nù ， kuài yào bèi qì fēng le 。
宝蛇又痛又怒，快要被气疯了。
A true demon primordial ancestor like this—when had she ever been so humiliated?
táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， shén me shí hòu zhè me láng bèi guò 。
堂堂真魔始祖，什么时候这么狼狈过。
Moreover, it felt too stifling to be facing such a situation. How many cultivators would fight to this extent? If not for witnessing it firsthand, she wouldn't have believed what was happening before her eyes.
ér qiě yǎn qián zhè yě tài biē qū le 。
而且眼前这也太憋屈了。
This young man Lin was at least a late-stage劫渡 cultivator; did he still have any trace of a high-ranking cultivator's dignity?
nǎ ér yǒu xiū xiān zhě dòu fǎ dǎ dào zhè zhòng dì bù 。
哪儿有修仙者斗法打到这种地步。
It was truly a disgrace to cultivators.
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， qīn shēn jīng lì ， tā dōu bù xiāng xìn yǎn qián de yí mù 。
若不是亲眼目睹，亲身经历，她都不相信眼前的一幕。
Strictly speaking, this thought wasn’t wrong. But in the end, it was merely the precious snake’s one-sided wish.
zhè lín xiǎo zi hǎo dǎi yě shì dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， hái yǒu méi yǒu yì diǎn gāo shǒu fēng dù ？
这林小子好歹也是渡劫后期的修仙者，还有没有一点高手风度？
At this moment, Lin Xuan could not afford to care about such matters.
jiǎn zhí shì xiū xiān zhě de chǐ rǔ 。
简直是修仙者的耻辱。
How shameful? Who cared as long as he could win against his stronger opponent? As for face?
yán gé lái shuō ， zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ méi cuò ， dàn guī gēn dào dǐ ， jǐn jǐn shì bǎo shé de yì xiāng qíng yuàn bà le 。
严格来说，这样的想法没错，但归根到底，仅仅是宝蛇的一厢情愿罢了。
Compared to his desire to protect his beloved wife, what did that matter?
cǐ shí lín xuān què nǎ ér guǎn dé le zhè xǔ duō 。
此时林轩却哪儿管得了这许多。
Dragons had their vulnerable spots; touching them would make them furious. At this moment, Lin Xuan was truly enraged and would use any means necessary to defeat the precious snake.
chǎng miàn nán kàn yòu rú hé ， dí qiáng wǒ ruò ， rú hé qǔ shèng cái shì zuì zhòng yào de 。
场面难看又如何，敌强我弱，如何取胜才是最重要的。
He wasn’t particularly resentful of her but rather, no matter what, he must protect his love. His fall didn't matter, but if the precious snake lived, she wouldn’t let Yue'er go.
zhì yú miàn zi ？
至于面子？
Driven by such a belief, Lin Xuan abandoned all notions of honor and disregarded his severely injured body, attacking the precious snake with any method he could think of.
yǔ zì jǐ xiǎng yào bǎo hù ài qī de xīn qíng xiāng bǐ ， nà suàn shén me dōng xī ？
与自己想要保护爱妻的心情相比，那算什么东西？
Clawing, biting, headbutting...
lóng yǒu nì lín ， chù zhī bì nù ， cǐ shí lín xuān shì dòng le zhēn huǒ ， bù zé shǒu duàn ， yì yào dǎ bài bǎo shé 。
龙有逆鳞，触之必怒，此时林轩是动了真火，不择手段，亦要打败宝蛇。
Regardless, he didn't care. Throughout this process, lightning bolts, fireballs, various types of heavenly tribulations, still rained down like a storm, engulfing both of them.
bìng bú shì duō me jì hèn cǐ nǚ ， ér shì wú lùn rú hé ， yě yào bǎo hù ài qī 。
并不是多么忌恨此女，而是无论如何，也要保护爱妻。
The intensity was far beyond imagination.
zì jǐ yǔn luò méi guān xì ， dàn ràng bǎo shé huó zhe ， tā shì bú huì fàng guò yuè ér de 。
自己陨落没关系，但让宝蛇活着，她是不会放过月儿的。
Even the precious snake felt somewhat unable to bear it.
píng zhe zhè yàng de xìn niàn ， lín xuān fàng qì le róng rǔ ， zhì zhòng shāng de shēn tǐ yú bù gù ， yòng rèn hé néng gòu xiǎng dào de fāng shì gōng jī bǎo shé 。
凭着这样的信念，林轩放弃了荣辱，置重伤的身体于不顾，用任何能够想到的方式攻击宝蛇。
Heavenly tribulations were fierce because Lin Xuan had never intended to leave any room for retreat.
zhǎo sī ， yá yǎo ， tóu zhuàng ……
爪撕，牙咬，头撞……
In his heart, he knew that ordinary heavenly tribulations might not be enough to kill the precious snake. Thus, this time, Lin Xuan disregarded everything and allowed both his main元婴 and secondary元婴 to advance simultaneously.
zǒng zhī bù guǎn sān qī èr shí yī ， ér zài zhè guò chéng zhōng 。 yī dào dào shǎn diàn ， yī lì lì huǒ qiú ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de tiān jié ， yī jiù rú kuáng fēng zhòu yǔ ， jiāng liǎng rén tūn mò 。
总之不管三七二十一，而在这过程中。一道道闪电，一粒粒火球，各种各样的天劫，依旧如狂风骤雨，将两人吞没。
To understand, his demon nucleus was already late-stage劫渡, so normally, there would have been no need for him to undergo heavenly tribulations during the advancement of his two元婴s. He could have avoided them entirely.
shēng shì zhī měng ， yuǎn chāo xiǎng xiàng xǔ duō 。
声势之猛，远超想象许多。
But Lin Xuan deliberately invited the most terrifying heavenly tribulation. Such an act had never before been seen in all three realms throughout history and antiquity.
jí biàn shì rú jīn de bǎo shé ， yě gǎn jué yǒu xiē chéng shòu bú zhù 。
即便是如今的宝蛇，也感觉有些承受不住。
Heavenly tribulations were to be avoided at all costs, yet he intentionally provoked them. Wasn’t that a sign of mental instability?
tiān jié xiōng měng ， zhè shì yīn wèi ， lín xuān yuán běn jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò yào gěi zì jǐ liú tuì lù 。
天劫凶猛，这是因为，林轩原本就没有想过要给自己留退路。
Moreover, heavenly tribulations were vicious. Cultivators faced them with all their might, using various talismans to block them, trying to outwit the tribulation rather than directly confronting it.
tā xīn zhōng qīng chǔ ， yì bān de tiān jié 。 wèi bì néng gòu dǎ shā bǎo shé ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān zhè yī cì ， shì bù guǎn bù gù ， ràng zhǔ yuán yīng yǔ dì èr yuán yīng tóng shí jìn jí 。
他心中清楚，一般的天劫。未必能够打杀宝蛇，所以林轩这一次，是不管不顾，让主元婴与第二元婴同时晋级。
Despite this, countless cultivators still fell. What was happening now—without any defensive measures or tools, intentionally allowing the tribulation to strike—was unheard of.
yào zhī dào ， tā de yāo dān yǐ shì dù jié hòu qī ， yuán běn liǎng dà yuán yīng jìn jí ， shì bù xū yào jīng lì tiān jié dì 。
要知道，他的妖丹已是渡劫后期，原本两大元婴晋级，是不需要经历天劫地。
Calling it suicide wasn’t too far off.
wán quán kě yǐ bì miǎn 。
完全可以避免。
The injuries Lin Xuan and the precious snake suffered were unimaginable.
lín xuān què fǎn qí dào ér xíng zhī ， gù yì jiāng zuì kě pà de tiān jié yǐn luò 。
林轩却反其道而行之，故意将最可怕的天劫引落。
As a true demon primordial ancestor, the precious snake had successfully merged with her ancestral spirit snake. Her strength had significantly increased from before, even if she couldn't match Rain桐 or Ice Soul, she was probably on par with the other two scattered immortals.
zhè yàng de shì qíng ， fàng yǎn sān jiè 。 zòng héng jīn gǔ ， kǒng pà yě bù céng yǒu guò 。
这样的事情，放眼三界。纵横今古，恐怕也不曾有过。
Especially her new body, which was quite sturdy.
tiān jié ， duǒ zhī bù jí ， gù yì zhāo rě 。 nà bú shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ？
天劫，躲之不及，故意招惹。那不是脑袋有问题？
But facing such a violent heavenly tribulation, in just a few minutes, she could no longer bear it. Her consciousness began to blur.
qiě tiān jié měng è ， xiū xiān zhě zài miàn duì zhī shí ， wú yī bú shì shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， yòng gè zhǒng fǎ bǎo dǎng zhī 。 yǐ qiǎo pò zhuō ， jǐn liàng dōu shì bù yǔ tiān jié yìng káng de 。
且天劫猛恶，修仙者在面对之时，无一不是使尽浑身解数，用各种法宝挡之。以巧破拙，尽量都是不与天劫硬扛的。
The precious snake gritted her teeth and forced herself to regain clarity, feeling both fear and anger.
jí biàn rú cǐ ， yǔn luò de yī jiù bù jì qí shù 。 xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng ， bù yòng bǎo wù ， bù zuò rèn hé fáng yù dǎng gé ， gù yì ràng tiān jié qù hōng ， jiù gèng jiā wén suǒ wèi wén le 。
即便如此，陨落的依旧不计其数。像现在这样，不用宝物，不做任何防御挡隔，故意让天劫去轰，就更加闻所未闻了。
It wasn’t surprising that she couldn’t withstand this terrifying heavenly tribulation.
shuō zhǎo sǐ yì bù wèi guò 。
说找死亦不为过。
But why hadn't the young man died?
lín xuān yǔ bǎo shé suǒ shòu dào de shāng hài yě jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。
林轩与宝蛇所受到的伤害也就可想而知了。
Before, he had clearly been severely injured. Such injuries should have caused his soul to scatter long ago.
bǎo shé shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， cǐ shí yòu chéng gōng yǔ zǔ líng zhī shé róng hé ， shí lì zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng dà jìn xǔ duō ， jiù suàn bù jí yǔ tóng 、 bīng pò ， bǐ zhī lìng wài liǎng wèi sàn xiān kǒng pà yě xiāng chà bù duō 。
宝蛇身为真魔始祖，此时又成功与祖灵之蛇融合，实力在原有的基础上大进许多，就算不及雨桐、冰魄，比之另外两位散仙恐怕也相差不多。
Yet here he was, still critically wounded but not dead.
yóu qí shì tā zhè xīn shēng de qū tǐ ， shì hěn jiān yìng de 。
尤其是她这新生的躯体，是很坚硬的。
Was something wrong? Was this guy indestructible, surviving despite such severe injuries?
kě miàn duì kuáng bào de tiān jié ， jǐn jǐn yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， jiù yǐ zhī chēng bú zhù ， yì shí dōu yǒu xiē mó hú 。
可面对狂暴的天劫，仅仅一盏茶的功夫，就已支撑不住，意识都有些模糊。
While Lin Xuan wasn’t dying, he continued to claw and bite, headbutt and elbow strike with all his might, attacking the precious snake without any reservations.
bǎo shé yī yǎo yá ， qiǎng pò zì jǐ qīng xǐng guò lái ， xīn zhōng yòu shì jīng nù ， yòu shì bù jiě 。
宝蛇一咬牙，强迫自己清醒过来，心中又是惊怒，又是不解。
Due to the continuous heavenly tribulations raining down, the precious snake couldn't condense her power. Every time she tried to gather it, it was shattered. In other words, she had no way of using her talismans or secret techniques against Lin Xuan at this moment.
zhè kě pà de tiān jié zì jǐ chéng shòu bú zhù ， bù xī qí 。
这可怕的天劫自己承受不住，不稀奇。
Desperate, the female cultivator either lost her mind from anger or decided to fight back like Lin Xuan, clawing and biting him as well.
kě nà lín xiǎo zi wèi shén me hái méi sǐ ？
可那林小子为什么还没死？
Thus, the true demon primordial ancestor and late-stage劫渡 cultivator fought without any regard for face. It was utterly ridiculous.
yào zhī dào zài zhè zhī qián ， tā jiù míng míng yǐ jīng shēn shòu zhòng shāng le 。
要知道在这之前，他就明明已经身受重伤了。
Boom!
nà yàng de shāng shì ， néng gòu jiāng dì yī bō tiān jié chēng guò qù ， jiù yǐ suàn shì mìng dà yǐ jí ， àn lǐ shuō ， zǎo jiù yīng gāi hún fēi pò sàn le qù 。
那样的伤势，能够将第一波天劫撑过去，就已算是命大以极，按理说，早就应该魂飞魄散了去。
Rolling thunder echoed overhead, but the gale didn’t seem to cease.
wèn tí shì ， lín xuān dào xiàn zài ， hái shì zhòng shāng chuí sǐ 。
问题是，林轩到现在，还是重伤垂死。
Lightning bolts fell densely, hitting both of them repeatedly. The stench of burning flesh could be smelled on both Lin Xuan and the precious snake.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zhè jiā huo shì xiǎo qiáng me ， zhè yàng dōu bù yǔn luò ？
有没有搞错，这家伙是小强么，这样都不陨落？
Only these two individuals would still be fighting like this if it were any ordinary realm powerhouse; they would have been killed long ago.
ér lín xuān cǐ shí bù jǐn méi sǐ ， hái bù gù zì jǐ de shāng shì ， jì xù zhǎo sī yǎo ， tóu zhuàng zhǒu jī ， wú suǒ bù yòng qí jí ， pīn mìng xiàng zhe bǎo shé gōng jī 。
而林轩此时不仅没死，还不顾自己的伤势，继续爪撕咬，头撞肘击，无所不用其极，拼命向着宝蛇攻击。
Amidst the thunderous strikes of heavenly tribulations, the two continued to attack each other, behaving like ruffians.
yóu yú tiān jié yī ** jiàng luò ， zài qí tā lián xù dǎ jī xià ， bǎo shé gēn běn wú fǎ jiāng fǎ lì níng hé ， gāng yī jù jí ， jiù bèi dǎ sàn ， huàn jù huà shuō ， cǐ shí tā yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yòng fǎ bǎo mì shù gōng jī lín xuān 。
由于天劫一**降落，在其他连续打击下，宝蛇根本无法将法力凝合，刚一聚集，就被打散，换句话说，此时她也没有办法用法宝秘术攻击林轩。
The cultivation world was bizarre, but such a scene had never occurred in all three realms throughout history and antiquity.
wú nài zhī xià ， cǐ nǚ yě bù zhī dào shì bèi qì hūn le tóu ， hái shì pò guàn zi pò shuāi ， jū rán xué lín xuān yì bān ， duì zhe tā zhǎo sī yá yǎo le qǐ lái 。
无奈之下，此女也不知道是被气昏了头，还是破罐子破摔，居然学林轩一般，对着他爪撕牙咬了起来。
"Why aren't you dead yet? Why aren’t you dead!"
yú shì táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， yǔ lín xuān zhè wèi dù jié hòu qī de xiū shì ， jiù zhēn de shén me yán miàn yě bù gù ， rú tóng pō pí wú lài dǎ jià yì bān ， ràng rén wú yǔ dào le jí diǎn 。
于是堂堂真魔始祖，与林轩这位渡劫后期的修士，就真的什么颜面也不顾，如同泼皮无赖打架一般，让人无语到了极点。
The precious snake, as one of the nine true demon primordial ancestors, gripped Lin Xuan’s neck tightly with both hands, slamming his head into the ground.
hōng lōng lóng ！
轰隆隆！
At their level, their strength was absurdly great. This single strike could cause a tsunami and mountains to crumble. If it hit solidly, it would certainly crack the surface and spew molten lava.
gǔn léi xiǎng guò ， tóu dǐng de gāng fēng ， yì méi yǒu tíng xiē de yì tú 。
滚雷响过，头顶的罡风，亦没有停歇的意图。
However, despite the loud sound of thunder, not even a trace of a crack appeared on this muddy ground.
yī dào dào shǎn diàn ， mì jí dé rú tóng yǔ diǎn ， bù tíng de cháo zhe liǎng rén hōng luò ， qiě shí zhī ** dōu qīng yì jī zhòng diào le 。
一道道闪电，密集得如同雨点，不停的朝着两人轰落，且十之**都轻易击中掉了。
Something was off!
bù lùn lín xuān ， hái shì bǎo shé ， shēn shàng dōu kě yǐ wén dào jiāo chòu de wèi dào 。
不论林轩，还是宝蛇，身上都可以闻到焦臭的味道。
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan and the precious snake would have noticed.
yě jiù zhè liǎng gè jiā huo ， huàn yī míng pǔ tōng de lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， kǒng pà zǎo jiù bèi hōng sǐ diào le 。
也就这两个家伙，换一名普通的领域强者，恐怕早就被轰死掉了。
But at this moment, they couldn’t afford to care about such details. They were both in life-and-death situations; did they still have time for such trivialities?
ér zài tiān jié de luò léi shēng zhōng ， liǎng rén piān piān hái zài hù xiāng gōng jī ， rú pō pí wú lài yì bān de sī dǎ zài yì qǐ 。
而在天劫的落雷声中，两人偏偏还在互相攻击，如泼皮无赖一般的厮打在一起。
Of course not.
xiū xiān jiè guāng guài lù lí ， dàn fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， zhè yàng de shì qíng ， bǎi fēn zhī bǎi ， yě bù céng fā shēng guò 。
修仙界光怪陆离，但放眼三界，纵横今古，这样的事情，百分之百，也不曾发生过。
With the precious snake choking him, Lin Xuan wouldn't sit idly by either. He used his elbow to strike her face.
“ nǐ wèi shén me hái bù yǔn luò ， hái bù yǔn luò ！”
“你为什么还不陨落，还不陨落！”
"Bang!"
táng táng bǎo shé shèng zǔ ， jiǔ dà zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， cǐ kè jiù xiàng yī fēng pó zi ， shuāng shǒu láo láo qiā zhù lín xuān de bó zi ， jiāng tā de nǎo dài ， hěn mìng wǎng dì shàng zhuàng qù 。
堂堂宝蛇圣祖，九大真魔始祖之一，此刻就像一疯婆子，双手牢牢掐住林轩的脖子，将他的脑袋，狠命往地上撞去。
The precious snake was hit directly, and a tooth flew out of her mouth.
shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， lì liàng dà dé lí pǔ ， àn lǐ shuō zhè yī zhuàng zhī lì ， zú yǐ ràng hǎi xiào shān bēng ， zhè yī xià ruò shì zhuàng shí le ， tiě dìng ràng dì biǎo jūn liè ， yán jiāng pēn bó 。
实力到了他们这个等级，力量大得离谱，按理说这一撞之力，足以让海啸山崩，这一下若是撞实了，铁定让地表龟裂，岩浆喷薄。
Despite reaching this level, the precious snake had managed to break free from Lin Xuan’s hold. But every time she tried to distance herself from him or the heavenly tribulations, he would relentlessly follow like a persistent pest, striking viciously.
rán ér shēng yīn suī xiàng léi gǔ ， zhè biàn bù ní jiāng de dì miàn què jū rán yī sī liè hén yě wú 。
然而声音虽像擂鼓，这遍布泥浆的地面却居然一丝裂痕也无。
She couldn’t completely escape; several attempts ended in failure. Instead, due to her distraction, she was caught off guard and subjected to a painful beating, paying a heavy price.
yǒu gǔ guài ！
有古怪！
Even clay figures had their fiery moments. Such results made the precious snake thoroughly furious.
ruò zài píng shí ， lín xuān yǔ bǎo shé dōu néng gòu chá jué chū lái 。
若在平时，林轩与宝蛇都能够察觉出来。
Furious, she no longer chose to run away but fiercely fought with Lin Xuan, vowing to kill him.
rán ér cǐ kè ， liǎng rén nǎ ér guǎn dé le zhè xǔ duō ， zì jǐ dōu zài xìng mìng yōu guān de shí kè ， hái yǒu xīn qíng qù xún gēn jiū dǐ me ？
然而此刻，两人哪儿管得了这许多，自己都在性命攸关的时刻，还有心情去寻根究底么？
However, a shadow lingered in her mind—why could this young man still endure such a terrifying heavenly tribulation despite being severely injured?
Lin Xuan's mind was a bit hazy as he clung to the precious snake with sheer willpower.
In a daze, he didn't bother distinguishing or thinking too much. He simply bit down on the snake from behind like it was a precious snake.
Blood splattered out.
To be honest, such a fighting style was quite desperate, but Lin Xuan's biting force was commendable. It could match that of his peers among the妖族, even saying he was only stronger and not weaker. He acted like a fierce tiger descending from the mountains, tearing at the precious snake with all his might.

It was truly a disgrace to cultivators.
Strictly speaking, this thought wasn’t wrong. But in the end, it was merely the precious snake’s one-sided wish.

How shameful? Who cared as long as he could win against his stronger opponent? As for face?

She couldn’t completely escape; several attempts ended in failure. Instead, due to her distraction, she was caught off guard and subjected to a painful beating, paying a heavy price.
Even clay figures had their fiery moments. Such results made the precious snake thoroughly furious.
Furious, she no longer chose to run away but fiercely fought with Lin Xuan, vowing to kill him.
However, a shadow lingered in her mind—why could this young man still endure such a terrifying heavenly tribulation despite being severely injured?
