yú shì ， zài zhè xiē yīn shù de zōng hé yǐng xiǎng xià ， yí dàn xiū shì zhǎng wò le fǎ zé ， jiù nán miǎn yǒu suǒ cè zhòng ， huò zhě shuō ， xǐ hào bù tóng 。
于是，在这些因数的综合影响下，一旦修士掌握了法则，就难免有所侧重，或者说，喜好不同。
Thus, under the influence of these factors, once a cultivator mastered the laws, they inevitably leaned towards certain aspects or simply had different preferences.
méi cuò ， lǐng yù kě yǐ gǎi biàn fǎ zé ， dàn nà bù guò shì jī běn shǔ xìng ， zuì zuì jī chǔ de dōng xī bà le 。
没错，领域可以改变法则，但那不过是基本属性，最最基础的东西罢了。
Indeed, domains could alter the laws, but that was merely their basic attributes—basics at their core.
chú le shí jiān ， kōng jiān ， yǐ jí hùn dùn zhè sān zhǒng zuì nán de fǎ zé ， qí yú de ， měi yī míng jìn rù lǐng yù de qiáng zhě ， dōu kě yǐ zuò dào de 。
除了时间，空间，以及混沌这三种最难的法则，其余的，每一名进入领域的强者，都可以做到的。
Apart from time, space, and chaos, which were among the most difficult laws to master, every powerful martial artist who entered a domain could achieve this.
zhè zài miàn duì fēi lǐng yù de xiū shì shí ， gù rán shì mò dà de yōu shì ， kě liǎng wèi lǐng yù qiáng zhě duì lěi ， qíng kuàng yòu huì rú hé ？
这在面对非领域的修士时，固然是莫大的优势，可两位领域强者对垒，情况又会如何？
This was undoubtedly an immense advantage when facing non-domain cultivators. However, what about when two domain experts faced off against each other?
wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， nǐ yě kě yǐ gǎi biàn ， wǒ yě kě yǐ gǎi biàn ， jiū jìng shuí zhǔ qiáng ruò 。
我的领域我做主，你也可以改变，我也可以改变，究竟谁主强弱。
In my domain, I am in charge; you can change it, and so can I. Who truly holds the upper hand.
shì fǎ lì gèng gāo qiáng de yī fāng me ？
是法力更高强的一方么？
Is it the one with greater magical power?
dá àn dāng rán shì fǒu dìng de 。
答案当然是否定的。
Of course not.
xiū shì dòu fǎ ， shèng fù rú hé ， qí shí yǒu zhe tài duō de yǐng xiǎng yīn shù ， jué bú shì dān chún fǎ lì yī xiàng ， kě yǐ qīng yì liàng huà de 。
修士斗法，胜负如何，其实有着太多的影响因数，绝不是单纯法力一项，可以轻易量化的。
The outcome of a law battle was influenced by too many factors to be reduced merely to magical power alone. Even for domain experts, it wasn't that simple. Under the叠加 of both domains, how would the force of laws change? It couldn’t be explained in a single word.
jí biàn lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， yě bù kě yǐ miǎn sú ， zài shuāng fāng lǐng yù dié jiā de qíng kuàng xià ， fǎ zé zhī lì ， huì zěn yàng gǎi biàn ， gèng bú shì yī yán kě yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
即便领域强者，也不可以免俗，在双方领域叠加的情况下，法则之力，会怎样改变，更不是一言可以说得清楚。
If one had to say, it required analyzing specific situations—taking into account their relative strengths, magical power, and the focus on different laws.
rú guǒ yí dìng yào shuō ， nà jiù shì xū yào gēn jù jù tǐ qíng kuàng lái fēn xī ， shuāng fāng de qiáng ruò ， fǎ lì ， yǐ jí duì yú fǎ zé cè zhòng diǎn de chā yì 。
如果一定要说，那就是需要根据具体情况来分析，双方的强弱，法力，以及对于法则侧重点的差异。
Quantifying these factors could yield results, but those were usually just theoretical.
liàng huà yǐ hòu ， cái kě yǐ dé chū yí gè jié guǒ 。
量化以后，才可以得出一个结果。
Theoretical strength differed greatly from actual combat. However, there was no doubt that every domain expert, during their long journey from ordinary to mastering a domain, would develop a particular preference or bias towards certain laws.
ér qiě zhè ge jié guǒ ， tōng cháng hái zhǐ shì zhǐ miàn shàng de 。
而且这个结果，通常还只是纸面上的。
Once they mastered the domain, this preference and focus would be significantly strengthened. For instance, in front of him, this guy's expertise was undoubtedly lightning law. After countless arduous practices, his domain had changed.
zhǐ miàn shàng de qiáng ruò ， yǔ zhēn zhèng dòu fǎ ， kě jiù xiāng qù shèn yuǎn le 。
纸面上的强弱，与真正斗法，可就相去甚远了。
If casually transforming laws was just the basic foundation of domains, then this domain could also be called a初级domain.
dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， yīn wèi měi míng lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， zài cóng pǔ tōng dù jié chū qī dào zhǎng wò lǐng yù ， zhè yī màn cháng de guò chéng zhōng ， kěn dìng huì tè bié xǐ hào ， huò zhě shuō tè bié cè zhòng mǒu zhǒng fǎ zé 。
但有一点是肯定的，因为每名领域强者，在从普通渡劫初期到掌握领域，这一漫长的过程中，肯定会特别喜好，或者说特别侧重某种法则。
After being specially reinforced by specific laws, it became an异化domain—what is commonly referred to as a second-stage domain.
nà me yí dàn zhǎng wò lǐng yù zhī hòu ， zhè zhǒng xǐ huān yǔ cè zhòng 。 jiù huì dà dà dé dào qiáng huà de xiào guǒ 。
那么一旦掌握领域之后，这种喜欢与侧重。就会大大得到强化的效果。
Of course, in the cultivation world, there were no such rankings. After all, domain experts were extremely rare. Mastering any law was already impressive; whether one could further strengthen their domain was anyone's guess.
bǐ rú shuō yǎn qián 。
比如说眼前。
Lin Xuan undoubtedly belonged to the top tier of cultivators. But this域外天魔 wasn't weak either. The displayed domain wasn’t basic but specially reinforced.
zhè jiā huo shàn cháng de kěn dìng shì léi diàn fǎ zé ， zài jīng guò wú shù cì de kǔ xiū zhī hòu 。 tā de lǐng yù ， jiù fā shēng biàn huà le 。
这家伙擅长的肯定是雷电法则，在经过无数次的苦修之后。他的领域，就发生变化了。
Lightning domain?
rú guǒ shuō suí yì zhuǎn huà fǎ zé ， jǐn jǐn shì lǐng yù de jī chǔ ， nà me zhè zhǒng lǐng yù ， wǒ men yě kě yǐ chēng zhī wèi chū jiē lǐng yù 。
如果说随意转化法则，仅仅是领域的基础，那么这种领域，我们也可以称之为初阶领域。
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. He had long been familiar with lightning laws before mastering his own domain, but in terms of power, it was incomparable to what he faced now.
ér jīng guò tè dìng fǎ zé qiáng huà guò de lǐng yù ， yě jiù biàn chéng le yì huà lǐng yù 。
而经过特定法则强化过的领域，也就变成了异化领域。
Specialization has its strengths; from the perspective of lightning power alone, Lin Xuan fell short compared to this域外天魔, and the opponent struck unexpectedly, aiming to leverage their strength against a weakness?
yě jiù shì tōng cháng suǒ shuō de èr jiē lǐng yù 。
也就是通常所说的二阶领域。
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xuan was enveloped by an endless sea of purple lightning. Each bolt's power was astonishing; it didn’t fall short even when compared to the advanced heavenly tribulation.
dāng rán ， zhēn zài xiū xiān jiè ， què méi yǒu zhè yàng de fēn jí 。 bì jìng lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， yuán běn jiù shì fēi cháng xī shǎo dì 。
当然，真在修仙界，却没有这样的分级。毕竟领域强者，原本就是非常稀少地。
Lin Xuan’s expression turned grave but showed no fear. Instead, he felt more joy than anything else.
néng gòu lǐng wù ， jiù fēi cháng liǎo bù qǐ ， zhì yú shì fǒu hái yǒu jī huì qiáng huà ， zé shì shuí yě shuō bù qīng chǔ dì 。
能够领悟，就非常了不起，至于是否还有机会强化，则是谁也说不清楚地。
Since this was a test, the opponent had to be strong enough.
lín xuān wú yí shì dǐng jí qiáng zhě 。
林轩无疑是顶级强者。
Lin Xuan did not dodge and did not summon any treasures. On the contrary, he flew towards those purple lightning bolts as if he wanted to die.
dàn yǎn qián zhè yù wài tiān mó ， jū rán yě yì diǎn bù ruò ， zhǎn shì chū lái de lǐng yù bìng fēi jī chǔ 。 ér shì jīng guò tè bié qiáng huà guò 。
但眼前这域外天魔，居然也一点不弱，展示出来的领域并非基础。而是经过特别强化过。
Even that two-headed four-armed天魔 looked incredulous. Was the other guy insane or just plain crazy?
léi diàn lǐng yù me ？
雷电领域么？
Or perhaps both?
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō 。
林轩瞳孔微缩。
In any case, he couldn’t understand why Lin Xuan would do such a thing. The little guy charged headlong into the vortex of lightning.
tā zǎo zài zhǎng wò lǐng yù qián jiù tōng xiǎo léi diàn fǎ zé ， dàn lùn wēi lì ， zé jué rán wú fǎ yǔ yǎn qián xiāng bǐ 。
他早在掌握领域前就通晓雷电法则，但论威力，则决然无法与眼前相比。
His body was surrounded by flickering spiritual light, and the amount of essence qi emanating from him was shocking.
shù yè yǒu zhuān gōng ， guāng cóng léi diàn zhī lì lái shuō ， lín xuān bù jí yǎn qián de yù wài tiān mó ， ér duì fāng chū qí bù yì 。 shì xiǎng yào yǐ jǐ zhī zhǎng ， qù kè dí zhī duǎn me ？
术业有专攻，光从雷电之力来说，林轩不及眼前的域外天魔，而对方出其不意。是想要以己之长，去克敌之短么？
From a quantitative standpoint, it was vast like an ocean.
zhè ge niàn tou gāng yī zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān jiù bèi màn tiān zǐ sè de léi diàn lǒng zhào zhù le 。
这个念头刚一转过，林轩就被漫天紫色的雷电笼罩住了。
But it was tightly compressed, enveloping Lin Xuan’s form.
měi yī dào diàn máng de wēi lì ， dōu lìng rén zé shé ， bǐ zhī jìn jiē dù jié hòu qī de tiān jié 。 yě méi yǒu fēn háo xùn sè 。
每一道电芒的威力，都令人咋舌，比之进阶渡劫后期的天劫。也没有分毫逊色。
A pure magical defense!
lín xuān de liǎn shàng yì lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， dàn què yī sī wèi jù yě wú 。 xiāng fǎn ， huān xǐ de chéng fèn gèng duō 。
林轩的脸上亦露出凝重之色，但却一丝畏惧也无。相反，欢喜的成分更多。
The two-headed four-armed天魔 could clearly see this, his expression shifting from surprise to malice. Although he didn’t understand why Lin Xuan did this, it seemed akin to suicide.
jì rán shì shì dāo shí ， duì fāng dāng rán yào zú gòu qiáng cái kě yǐ 。
既然是试刀石，对方当然要足够强才可以。
To be honest, the brat was incredibly strong.
lín xuān gēn běn méi yǒu duǒ bì 。
林轩根本没有躲避。
But heaven may punish you, but you can still survive; self-inflicted harm is unforgivable.
gèng méi yǒu jiāng rèn hé bǎo wù jì qǐ 。
更没有将任何宝物祭起。
Facing his own attack, this little guy adopted the most foolish method… so there was a chance for victory.
qià qià xiāng fǎn ， lín xuān yíng zhe nà zǐ sè de shǎn diàn fēi le guò qù 。
恰恰相反，林轩迎着那紫色的闪电飞了过去。
With that thought in mind, the demon's body exuded deeper demonic energy. He wanted to finish it all in one move and kill Lin Xuan here.
kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng fēng le ， xiǎng yào zhǎo sǐ 。
看上去就像疯了，想要找死。
Lin Xuan faced this peril, which he had caused himself.
biàn shì nà shuāng tóu sì bì de tiān mó ， liǎn shàng yì lù chū yī sī bù kě sī yì ， duì fāng jiū jìng shì shén jīng bìng ， hái shì fēng zi ？
便是那双头四臂的天魔，脸上亦露出一丝不可思议，对方究竟是神经病，还是疯子？
Was Lin Xuan really insane?
huò zhě ， èr zhě jiān yǒu zhī ？
或者，二者兼有之？
Of course not. It was merely to test his true strength.
zǒng ér yán zhī ， tā bù néng lǐ jiě lín xuān wèi hé yào zhè me zuò ， zhǐ jiàn zhè xiǎo jiā huo yì wú fǎn gù de chōng xiàng le nà léi diàn de xuán wō 。
总而言之，他不能理解林轩为何要这么做，只见这小家伙义无反顾的冲向了那雷电的漩涡。
Thus, Lin Xuan used what appeared to be a foolish yet primitive defense method—pure magical power!
hún shēn shàng xià ， líng máng shǎn shuò bù yǐ ， lín xuān suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng qì ， ràng rén chù mù jīng xīn yǐ jí 。
浑身上下，灵芒闪烁不已，林轩所散发出来的灵气，让人触目惊心以极。
Quantitatively, it was indeed astonishing; it could rival even the essence spirits and demon kings, perhaps surpassing them. But how effective would such a defense be against domain pressure?
guāng cóng liàng lái shuō ， hào hàn rú hǎi 。
光从量来说，浩瀚如海。
The answer quickly revealed itself.
què bèi jǐn jǐn de yā suō zài yì qǐ ， bāo guǒ zhù lín xuān de shēn qū 。
却被紧紧的压缩在一起，包裹住林轩的身躯。
Lin Xuan’s vast amount of essence qi shone brightly, capable of touching the purple lightning but dissolving like snow meets fire, layer by layer, appearing so fragile.
chún fǎ lì de fáng yù ！
纯法力的防御！
But Lin Xuan did not give up. He roared loudly and desperately summoned magical power within his body.
nà shuāng tóu sì bì de tiān mó huà kàn de qīng chǔ ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yòu jīng yà biàn chéng le è dú ， suī rán bù míng bái lín xuān wèi shén me zhè me zuò ， dàn míng xiǎn yǔ zhǎo sǐ xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
那双头四臂的天魔化看得清楚，脸上的表情又惊讶变成了恶毒，虽然不明白林轩为什么这么做，但明显与找死相差仿佛。
While outer layers were dissolving, new light soon emerged to resist the lightning’s onslaught.
shuō shí huà ， zhè chòu xiǎo zi qiáng dé lí pǔ 。
说实话，这臭小子强得离谱。
A delicate cycle ensued, with each side gaining and losing ground.
dàn tiān zuò niè ， yóu kě huó ， zì zuò niè ， bù kě huó 。
但天作孽，犹可活，自作孽，不可活。
On the surface, Lin Xuan had endured the danger, but anyone could see that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him. Using such a clumsy method to defend against domains would eventually exhaust even a true essence spirit if they were in his position.
miàn duì zì jǐ de gōng jī ， zhè xiǎo jiā huo cǎi yòng le zuì yú chǔn de fāng shì …… nà me zì jǐ hái shì yǒu bù xiǎo xī wàng qǔ shèng dì 。
面对自己的攻击，这小家伙采用了最愚蠢的方式……那么自己还是有不小希望取胜地。
"This little guy is truly insane, but it’s just right for me."
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， nà tiān mó de shēn shàng yuè fā fān yǒng chū yōu shēn de mó qì ， xiǎng yào bì qí gōng yú yī yì ， jiāng lín xuān miè shā yú zhè lǐ 。
念及至此，那天魔的身上越发翻涌出幽深的魔气，想要毕其功于一役，将林轩灭杀于这里。
The two-headed four-armed天魔 muttered. Suddenly, he spat out a stream of blood from his mouth, like a meteor, flying into the vortex.
lín xuān miàn duì zhè wēi jī 。
林轩面对这危机。
Boom!
ér qiě zhè wēi jī kě yǐ shuō shì tā zì jǐ zhè zào chéng dì 。
而且这危机可以说是他自己这造成地。
Instantly, the lightning grew more intense. Nine bolts of lightning appeared and merged to form a dragon-shaped heavenly tribulation, opening its mouth to devour Lin Xuan.
lín xuān shì fǒu zhēn de nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ？
林轩是否真的脑袋有问题？
Facing such peril, Lin Xuan felt his hair stand on end for the first time. Such an attack could truly harm him if he wasn’t careful.
dá àn dāng rán shì fǒu dìng dì 。
答案当然是否定地。
Despite being shocked, Lin Xuan couldn’t ignore it. Whether testing his strength or pushing beyond limits, there was no reason to risk his life as a gamble!
yī qiè zhǐ shì wèi le jiǎn cè ér yǐ 。
一切只是为了检测而已。
Considering safety first, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and pointed his index fingers like swords towards the front.
jiǎn cè zì jǐ de zhēn zhèng shí lì 。
检测自己的真正实力。
At the same time, he activated his own domain.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān cái yòng le kàn shì yú chǔn ér yuán shǐ de fáng yù fāng shì 。
所以林轩才用了看似愚蠢而原始的防御方式。
Chaos domain!
chún fǎ lì ！
纯法力！
No, that was overly dramatic. But within this domain, some chaos laws were indeed present—like the moment of creation.
guāng cóng liàng lái shuō ， què shí ràng rén chēng mù jié shé ， bǐ zhī sàn xiān yāo wáng yě bù xùn sè ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng guò ， dàn miàn duì lǐng yù de niǎn yā ， fáng yù lì néng yǒu jǐ hé ？
光从量来说，确实让人瞠目结舌，比之散仙妖王也不逊色，甚至犹有胜过，但面对领域的碾压，防御力能有几何？
Though incomplete, its power was formidable. As Lin Xuan’s finger struck with the domain, golden light surged forth like a sword, piercing towards the dragon-shaped heavenly tribulation.
Thus, under the influence of these factors, once a cultivator mastered the laws, they inevitably leaned towards certain aspects or simply had different preferences.
Indeed, domains could alter the laws, but that was merely their basic attributes—basics at their core.
Apart from time, space, and chaos, which were among the most difficult laws to master, every powerful martial artist who entered a domain could achieve this.
This was undoubtedly an immense advantage when facing non-domain cultivators. However, what about when two domain experts faced off against each other?
In my domain, I am in charge; you can change it, and so can I. Who truly holds the upper hand.
Is it the one with greater magical power?
Of course not.
The outcome of a law battle was influenced by too many factors to be reduced merely to magical power alone. Even for domain experts, it wasn't that simple. Under the叠加 of both domains, how would the force of laws change? It couldn’t be explained in a single word.
