yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， péng lái xiān dǎo 。
与此同时，蓬莱仙岛。
At the same time, Penglai Immortal Island.
zhè lǐ shì nài lóng zhēn rén de dòng fǔ ， rán ér rú jīn ， què bèi yù wài tiān mó chóng chóng wéi kùn zhù le 。
这里是鼐龙真人的洞府，然而如今，却被域外天魔重重围困住了。
This was where True Immortal Nailedragon's abode resided. However, it was now heavily besieged by the Demonic Tyrants from beyond the heavens.
tiān mó dà jūn yī jiù shì jìn bǎi wàn zhī duō 。
天魔大军依旧是近百万之多。
The demonic army still numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
shù liàng yǔ jìn gōng xiān dào méng de xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dàn zhì liàng què míng xiǎn yào shèng guò xǔ duō 。
数量与进攻仙道盟的相差仿佛，但质量却明显要胜过许多。
Although the number and attack on the Daoist Alliance were similar, their quality clearly surpassed that of the previous invasion.
wú tā ， zhè lǐ kě shì xū wú mó jūn qīn zì zuò zhèn de 。
无他，这里可是虚无魔君亲自坐镇的。
After all, this place was personally overseen by Void Tyrant.
sú huà shuō shā fù zhī chóu ， duó qī zhī hèn ， bù gòng dài tiān 。
俗话说杀父之仇，夺妻之恨，不共戴天。
As the saying goes: "A father's death is an eternal grudge; a wife's loss is an unending hatred." The last time the Demonic Tyrants invaded the Spirit Realm ended in failure, and his beloved wife had perished due to Nailedragon's fall. Naturally, he harbored deep resentment towards Nailedragon, which was why he volunteered to lead this assault.
shàng yī cì yù wài tiān mó rù qīn líng jiè yǐ shī bài zuò wèi jié guǒ ， ér xū wú mó jūn de ài qī gèng yīn wèi nài lóng yǔn luò ， tā xīn zhōng ， zì rán hèn nài lóng rù gǔ ， fǒu zé yě bú huì zhǔ dòng qǐng yīng ， lǜ bīng wéi gōng zhè xiǎo jiè miàn le 。
上一次域外天魔入侵灵界以失败做为结果，而虚无魔君的爱妻更因为鼐龙陨落，他心中，自然恨鼐龙入骨，否则也不会主动请缨，率兵围攻这小界面了。
His intention was to capture Nailedragon alive and torture him mercilessly until he could no longer endure it.
běn yì jiù shì xiǎng yào jiāng nài lóng zhēn rén shēng qín huó zhuō ， rán hòu hǎo hǎo zhé mó ， zǒng ér yán zhī jué bù ràng tā qīng yì yǔn luò 。
本意就是想要将鼐龙真人生擒活捉，然后好好折磨，总而言之绝不让他轻易陨落。
However, while the idea was good, reality proved harsh; Nailedragon True Immortal wasn't present here at all.
rán ér xiǎng fǎ shì hǎo de ， xiàn shí què hěn cán kù ， nài lóng zhēn rén jiù gēn běn bù zài cǐ chù 。
然而想法是好的，现实却很残酷，鼐龙真人就根本不在此处。
He wasn’t absent from his abode but had vanished without a trace. Poor Void Tyrant rushed in with great fanfare only to find himself hitting an empty wall. The news left him dumbfounded and nearly coughed up blood out of frustration.
bìng fēi bù zài dòng fǔ ， ér shì gēn běn bù zhī qù le hé chù 。
并非不在洞府，而是根本不知去了何处。
Feeling dejected, he slumped for quite some time before recovering from the shock of Nailedragon's absence.
kě lián xū wú mó jūn qì shì xiōng xiōng ér lái ， zhè yī xià què fǎng fú shì yī quán dǎ zài kōng chù ， dé zhī zhè ge xiāo xī ， dàng zhēn shì chēng mù jié shé ， dāng shí dōu chà diǎn qì dé tù xiě le 。
可怜虚无魔君气势汹汹而来，这一下却仿佛是一拳打在空处，得知这个消息，当真是瞠目结舌，当时都差点气得吐血了。
Upon learning that Nailedragon had married his beloved wife, Void Tyrant was overjoyed. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Since my lady died because of you, this time I must kill your wife and make Nailedragon suffer.
ào nǎo zhī xià ， hái tuí fèi le hǎo jiǔ ， fǒu zé tā ruò shì yī kāi shǐ jiù shuài lǐng dà jūn chū zhēng ， nài lóng jiè gēn běn jiù wú rén kě yǐ dǎng zhù ， shuō bù dìng zǎo yǐ luò rù tā shǒu 。
懊恼之下，还颓废了好久，否则他若是一开始就率领大军出征，鼐龙界根本就无人可以挡住，说不定早已落入他手。
With that in mind, he personally led the army to besiege Penglai Immortal Island.
jiù zhè yàng ， guò le hǎo zhǎng yī duàn shí jiān ， xū wú mó jūn cái cóng nài lóng zhēn rén bù zài de dǎ jī zhōng huī fù guò lái 。
就这样，过了好长一段时间，虚无魔君才从鼐龙真人不在的打击中恢复过来。
The advance was swift, and soon, the outer forces of cultivators were swept away. Those fellows weren't even worth a single blow.
dǎ tīng dào nài lóng zhēn rén yǐ qǔ le ài qī ， tā de xīn zhōng nà shì huān xīn gǔ wǔ yǐ jí ， sú huà shuō ， yǐ yǎn huán yǎn yǐ yá huán yá ， dāng chū wǒ fū rén yīn wèi nǐ ér yǔn luò ， zhè yī cì ， wǒ yě yí dìng yào shā le nǐ lǎo pó ， ràng nài lóng zhēn rén bēi shāng tòng kǔ 。
打听到鼐龙真人已娶了爱妻，他的心中那是欢欣鼓舞以极，俗话说，以眼还眼以牙还牙，当初我夫人因为你而陨落，这一次，我也一定要杀了你老婆，让鼐龙真人悲伤痛苦。
Void Tyrant's lips curled into a smile as he imagined achieving his goal quickly.
yú shì ， tā qīn zì shuài lǐng dà jūn ， lái wéi gōng péng lái xiān dǎo le 。
于是，他亲自率领大军，来围攻蓬莱仙岛了。
However, what awaited him next was a severe setback. Penglai Immortal Island wasn’t an ordinary place at all!
shì rú pò zhú ， hěn kuài ， wài wéi de xiū xiān zhě shì lì jiù bèi sǎo chú 。 nà xiē jiā huo ， gēn běn jiù bù kān yī jī 。
势如破竹，很快，外围的修仙者势力就被扫除。那些家伙，根本就不堪一击。
Setting aside the strength of Fairy Qianqian, even the Nine True Demonic Subduing Formation stopped the Demonic Tyrants in their tracks.
xū wú mó jūn de zuǐ jiǎo biān dài zhe xiào yì ， xiǎng xiàng zhe zì jǐ hěn kuài jiù néng dá dào mù dì 。
虚无魔君的嘴角边带着笑意，想象着自己很快就能达到目的。
Void Tyrant roared with anger and personally engaged. Yet his impatience not only failed to break this formation but also resulted in him losing an arm.
rán ér jiē xià lái děng dài tā de què shì yíng tóu tòng jī ， péng lái xiān dǎo nǎ ér shì pǔ tōng de dì fāng kě bǐ ？
然而接下来等待他的却是迎头痛击，蓬莱仙岛哪儿是普通的地方可比？
Though such a wound was trivial for him—new limbs could grow back after expending some true essence—it left him feeling frustrated and aggrieved.
qiě bù shuō qiān qiān xiān zi de shí lì ， biàn shì yí gè jiǔ zhēn fú mó dà zhèn biàn ràng tiān mó dà jūn zhǐ bù yú le nà lǐ 。
且不说芊芊仙子的实力，便是一个九真伏魔大阵便让天魔大军止步于了那里。
He, Void Tyrant, had always been wise and valiant; when had he ever faced such setbacks?
xū wú dà nù ， qīn zì chū shǒu ， rán ér jí zào zhī xià ， bù jǐn méi yǒu jiāng cǐ zhèn fǎ gōng pò ， fǎn ér bèi zhǎn qù le yī bì 。
虚无大怒，亲自出手，然而急躁之下，不仅没有将此阵法攻破，反而被斩去了一臂。
But that guy was just an ordinary person.
suī rán zhè yàng de sǔn shāng duì tā lái shuō bù zhí yī tí ， xiāo hào diǎn zhēn yuán jiù kě yǐ zhǎng chū xīn de shǒu bì 。 dàn xīn zhōng què chōng mǎn le yù mèn yǔ biē qū 。
虽然这样的损伤对他来说不值一提，消耗点真元就可以长出新的手臂。但心中却充满了郁闷与憋屈。
While he raged, he didn't act impulsively. The Nine True Demonic Subduing Formation? It's merely a matter of time, like water wearing away stone.
xiǎng tā xū wú mó jūn yīng míng shén wǔ ， hé shí shòu guò zhè yàng cuò zhé ？
想他虚无魔君英明神武，何时受过这样挫折？
A broken formation could really hold back this Demon Tyrant?
bù guò zhè jiā huo yě fēi cháng pǔ tōng de rén wù 。
不过这家伙也非常普通的人物。
That thought was correct.
nù guī nù ， què bìng méi yǒu zài chōng dòng shén me ， jiǔ zhēn fú mó zhèn yòu rú hé ， dī shuǐ shí chuān de dào lǐ dà jiā kě yǒu tīng guò ， bù guò shì duō huā yī xiē shí jiān bà le 。
怒归怒，却并没有再冲动什么，九真伏魔阵又如何，滴水石穿的道理大家可有听过，不过是多花一些时间罢了。
Unfortunately, plans don’t always align with reality; Nailedragon had returned!
qū qū yí gè pò làn zhèn fǎ nán dào hái zhēn néng jiāng běn mó jūn dǎng zhù 。
区区一个破烂阵法难道还真能将本魔君挡住。
And what made it even more infuriating was that Nailedragon, a top-tier powerhouse in the Three Realms, acted dishonorably. For instance, Lin Xuan merely ambushed the Demon Rock City Lord and relied on his strength to win.
tā zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ yuán běn shì duì de 。
他这样的想法原本是对的。
But this time, Nailedragon did return but didn't make an appearance. Instead, he stealthily infiltrated the Demonic Tyrants' camp and effortlessly killed two Sovereigns.
nài hé jì huà gǎn bù shàng biàn huà ， nài lóng zhēn rén huí lái le a ！
奈何计划赶不上变化，鼐龙真人回来了啊！
Nailedragon's power was formidable; ordinary Transcendence Realm Demons couldn’t withstand a single blow from him, let alone an ambush.
ér qiě gèng ràng rén wú yǔ de shì ， nài lóng zhēn rén táng táng sān jiè dǐng jí dà néng ， què bēi bǐ wú chǐ 。 jiù ná lín xuān lái shuō ， yě bù guò shì tōu xí mó yán chéng zhǔ ， zhǔ yào shì kào shí lì jué shèng fù 。
而且更让人无语的是，鼐龙真人堂堂三界顶级大能，却卑鄙无耻。就拿林轩来说，也不过是偷袭魔岩城主，主要是靠实力决胜负。
No one even noticed the fall of those two Sovereigns until the next day when their souls had already returned to the underworld.
ér nài lóng zhēn rén ne ， zhè jiā huo huí lái shì huí lái le 。 què gēn běn méi yǒu xiàn shēn ， ér shì tōu tōu mō mō de lái dào yù wài tiān mó de jūn yíng ， gān jìng lì luò de miè shā le liǎng gè mó zūn 。
而鼐龙真人呢，这家伙回来是回来了。却根本没有现身，而是偷偷摸摸的来到域外天魔的军营，干净利落的灭杀了两个魔尊。
Void Tyrant was furious but could do nothing as he couldn't find the culprit. He vaguely guessed Nailedragon's return but found his behavior too dishonorable.
nài lóng zhēn rén de shí lì ， nà shì biāo hàn wú bǐ 。 pǔ tōng dù jié qī de yù wài tiān mó ， gēn běn jiù jiē bù liǎo tā yī jī ， gèng hé kuàng shì tōu xí 。
鼐龙真人的实力，那是彪悍无比。普通渡劫期的域外天魔，根本就接不了他一击，更何况是偷袭。
He didn’t dare confront him directly, instead picking on subordinates with lower cultivation. Where were any signs of a top-tier powerhouse?
dāng shí shèn zhì dōu méi yǒu rén fā xiàn nà liǎng míng mó zūn yǔn luò 。 dì èr tiān cái fā xiàn zhè liǎng gè dǎo méi de jiā huo hún guī dì fǔ 。
当时甚至都没有人发现那两名魔尊陨落。第二天才发现这两个倒霉的家伙魂归地府。
That night, Void Tyrant ordered strict vigilance!
xū wú mó jūn dà nù ， rán ér zhǎo bú dào xiōng shǒu yě shì wú kě nài hé 。
虚无魔君大怒，然而找不到凶手也是无可奈何。
But it was useless; Nailedragon wasn't someone ordinary could deter.
yǐn yǐn yě cāi dào nài lóng zhēn rén huí lái ， bù guò zhè jiā huo yě tài wú chǐ le diǎn 。
隐隐也猜到鼐龙真人回来，不过这家伙也太无耻了点。
More Sovereigns fell that night and the next, their deaths utterly silent. Although they were discovered earlier this time, Nailedragon had already fled.
bù gǎn qù zhǎo zì jǐ zhè ge zhèng zhǔ ér ， què qī fù xiū wèi jiào dī de shǒu xià ， zhè jiā huo nǎ ér yì diǎn gāo shǒu fēng fàn a ！
不敢去找自己这个正主儿，却欺负修为较低的手下，这家伙哪儿一点高手风范啊！
This continued day after day.
dàng wǎn ， xū wú mó jūn xià lìng ， yán jiā fáng fàn ！
当晚，虚无魔君下令，严加防范！
Void Tyrant cursed loudly, but Nailedragon didn’t care at all.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú ， nài lóng zhēn rén nǎ ér shì pǔ tōng shǒu duàn fáng fàn dé zhù 。
然而没有用途，鼐龙真人哪儿是普通手段防范得住。
He carried on as usual!
dàng wǎn ， yòu yǒu liǎng míng mó zūn yǔn luò ， yī jiù shì yì diǎn shēng xī yě wú ， suī rán zhè yī cì ， fā xiàn dé jiào zǎo ， dàn nài lóng zhēn rén zǎo jiù táo zhī yāo yāo 。
当晚，又有两名魔尊陨落，依旧是一点生息也无，虽然这一次，发现得较早，但鼐龙真人早就逃之夭夭。
Occasionally caught, he showed no concern, turning to run away. With his strength, fleeing was easy; even Void Tyrant couldn't stop him, let alone a few same-level Demonic Tyrants.
dì sān tiān rú cǐ 。
第三天如此。
Void Tyrant wanted to smash his head against the wall in frustration.
dì sì tiān yì rú shì 。
第四天亦如是。
But Nailedragon acted so unscrupulously; what could he do?
……
……
If you had the guts, try to match him!
xū wú mó zūn qì dé pò kǒu dà mà ， wèn tí shì nài lóng zhēn rén gēn běn bù zài yì a ！
虚无魔尊气得破口大骂，问题是鼐龙真人根本不在意啊！
Void Tyrant considered it but found it impossible. Nailedragon's wife and friends were all on Penglai Immortal Island. Ambushing them would require first breaking the Nine True Demonic Subduing Formation.
wǒ xíng wǒ sù ！
我行我素！
But why stay here if that was possible?
ǒu ěr bèi fā xiàn le ， yě háo bù zài hū ， diào tóu jiù pǎo ， yǐ tā de shí lì ， yī xīn táo dùn ， bié shuō xū wú mó jūn le ， jiù suàn zài lái jǐ gè tóng jí bié de yù wài tiān mó ， yě gēn běn lán bú zhù 。
偶尔被发现了，也毫不在乎，掉头就跑，以他的实力，一心逃遁，别说虚无魔君了，就算再来几个同级别的域外天魔，也根本拦不住。
In other words, Void Tyrant was in a dilemma: he couldn’t do anything about Nailedragon with his current tactics but couldn't retreat either; it went against his pride.
xū wú bèi qì dé zhuàng qiáng de xīn dōu yǒu le 。
虚无被气得撞墙的心都有了。
Why say "retreat"?
dàn nài lóng zhēn rén jiù shì zhè me bù jiǎng guī jǔ ， nǐ yòu néng rú hé ？
但鼐龙真人就是这么不讲规矩，你又能如何？
Every day saw the fall of more Sovereigns as the Demonic Tyrants grew increasingly fearful. The Sovereigns, especially, were nearly in a state of panic.
yǒu běn shì ， nǐ yǒu yàng xué yàng hǎo le 。
有本事，你有样学样好了。
Recently, some even fled during battle and had to be chased back by Void Tyrant with severe punishment, but morale couldn’t recover. From their dodging eyes, they still planned to escape.
xū wú dǎo shì yě xiǎng ， wèn tí shì gēn běn zuò bú dào a ， nài lóng zhēn rén de lǎo pó péng yǒu ， quán dōu zài péng lái xiān dǎo ， xiǎng yào tōu xí ， chú fēi xiān jiāng jiǔ zhēn fú mó zhèn gōng pò 。
虚无倒是也想，问题是根本做不到啊，鼐龙真人的老婆朋友，全都在蓬莱仙岛，想要偷袭，除非先将九真伏魔阵攻破。
To stop this trend, mere punishment wouldn't suffice; it would require breaking Nailedragon's ambushes.
kě rú guǒ zhēn néng zuò dào zhè yī bù ， tā yòu shǎ hū hū dài zài zhè lǐ zuò shén me ？
可如果真能做到这一步，他又傻乎乎待在这里做什么？
But how could that be done? Facing Nailedragon’s relentless attacks, even True Immortals would scratch their heads in frustration.
huàn jù huà shuō ， xū wú mó jūn yǐ xiàn rù le liǎng nán de jìng dì 。
换句话说，虚无魔君已陷入了两难的境地。
What could he do?
liú zài zhè lǐ ， ná nài lóng zhēn rén wú kě nài hé ， kě jiù zhè yàng tuì bīng ， yòu bù gān xīn 。
留在这里，拿鼐龙真人无可奈何，可就这样退兵，又不甘心。
And the situation didn’t end there. Nailedragon’s attacks became even more ruthless. This time, he targeted ordinary Demonic Tyrants instead of Sovereigns.
wèi shén me shuō huì shuō dào tuì bīng ？
为什么说会说到退兵？
This guy sneaked into the camp and unleashed several large-scale spells.
jī hū měi tiān dōu yǒu mó zūn yǔn luò ， yù wài tiān mó yǐ shì rén xīn huáng huáng ， yóu qí shì nà xiē mó zūn ， jiǎn zhí yǐ jīng hún bù shǒu shè 。
几乎每天都有魔尊陨落，域外天魔已是人心惶惶，尤其是那些魔尊，简直已经魂不守舍。
The ordinary Demonic Tyrants couldn't defend at all; thousands fell in a single day.
qián xiē rì zi ， shèn zhì chū xiàn lín zhèn tuō táo de 。
前些日子，甚至出现临阵脱逃的。
This continued every day.
suī rán bèi xū wú mó jūn zhuī le huí lái ， shī yǐ yán chéng ， shā jī jǐng hóu ， dàn shì qì yī jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ huī fù ， cóng nà xiē mó zūn duǒ shǎn de yǎn shén jiù zhī dào tā men yī jiù dǎ suàn táo zǒu 。
虽然被虚无魔君追了回来，施以严惩，杀鸡儆猴，但士气依旧没有办法恢复，从那些魔尊躲闪的眼神就知道他们依旧打算逃走。
With Nailedragon’s relentless attacks, his million-strong army could be wiped out within just a few hundred days.
xiǎng yào zhì zhǐ zhè shì tou ， guāng kào shā jī jǐng hóu yǐ méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， chú fēi shì néng gòu jiāng nài lóng zhēn rén de tōu xí pò chú 。
想要制止这势头，光靠杀鸡儆猴已没有用处，除非是能够将鼐龙真人的偷袭破除。
Void Tyrant was so furious he wanted to commit suicide. He had never seen such dishonorable behavior from a cultivator and finally understood why ancient sayings warned against offending villains.
dàn nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì ， miàn duì nài lóng zhēn rén wú xià xiàn de tōu xí ， bié shuō zì jǐ ， jiù suàn shì zhēn xiān lín shì ， yě fēi náo tóu bù kě 。
但哪儿有那么容易，面对鼐龙真人无下限的偷袭，别说自己，就算是真仙临世，也非挠头不可。
Their power being top-tier in the Three Realms made them nightmares.
zì jǐ yòu yǒu shén me bàn fǎ ne ？
自己又有什么办法呢？
He felt countless regrets but had no choice but to withdraw; otherwise, his million-strong army would collapse.
ér shì qíng dào zhè lǐ hái méi yǒu jié shù ， jiě xià lái de tōu xí ， nài lóng zhēn rén biàn dé gèng méi yǒu xià xiàn ， zhè yī cì tā méi yǒu zhēn duì mó zūn ， ér shì pǔ tōng de yù wài tiān mó 。
而事情到这里还没有结束，解下来的偷袭，鼐龙真人变得更没有下限，这一次他没有针对魔尊，而是普通的域外天魔。
But the nightmare didn’t end there. Nailedragon’s unscrupulous tactics were evident. To leave, it wouldn't be easy; he continued to ambush from behind the Demonic Tyrant ranks. (To be continued...)
At the same time, Penglai Immortal Island.
This was where True Immortal Nailedragon's abode resided. However, it was now heavily besieged by the Demonic Tyrants from beyond the heavens.
The demonic army still numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
Although the number and attack on the Daoist Alliance were similar, their quality clearly surpassed that of the previous invasion.
