xuán huáng jiè suī rán bǐ qǐ xún cháng de xiū xiān jiè yào qiáng dà xǔ duō , dàn yě wèi bì néng dǐ dǎng yǐn bào xiān qì zhī shí cháo zhe zhōu wéi mí sàn ér chū de kuáng bào xiān líng zhī lì 。
玄黄界虽然比起寻常的修仙界要强大许多,但也未必能抵挡引爆仙器之时朝着周围弥散而出的狂暴仙灵之力。
The Xuanhuang Realm, though far more powerful than the ordinary cultivation realm, was not necessarily able to withstand the explosive release of divine spirit force when a divine artifact detonated.
kuàng qiě , ruò shì zài xuán huáng jiè nèi yǐn bào , shì bì huì yǐn qǐ cáng nì qí zhōng de nà xiē lǎo guài wù de chá jué 。
况且,若是在玄黄界内引爆,势必会引起藏匿其中的那些老怪物的察觉。
Moreover, if such an explosion occurred within the Xuanhuang Realm, it would inevitably draw the attention of the ancient monsters lurking there.
lǐ fán cóng jī dòng zhōng píng fù xīn qíng hòu , hěn kuài jiù yì shí dào le zhè yì diǎn 。
李凡从激动中平复心情后,很快就意识到了这一点。
After calming down from his excitement, Li Fan quickly realized this.
“ zhè me shuō , yào qián wǎng jiè wài ?”
“这么说,要前往界外?”
"Does that mean we need to leave the realm?"
lǐ fán xià yì shí de tái tóu kàn xiàng tiān kōng 。
李凡下意识的抬头看向天空。
He instinctively looked up at the sky. The consciousness of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao seemed to confirm his thoughts.
ér nǎo hǎi zhōng bù duàn cuī cù de xuán huáng tiān dào yì shí , yě sì hū yìn zhèng le tā de xiǎng fǎ 。
而脑海中不断催促的玄黄天道意识,也似乎印证了他的想法。
However, Li Fan was somewhat doubtful. So far, he hadn't discerned any particular difficulty in the test set by the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity. Compared to the previous three stages, this fourth and likely final stage appeared to present no challenges at all. Anyone could reach his current level as long as they followed the steps meticulously.
dàn lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu xiē yí lǜ de shì , dào mù qián wéi zhǐ , tā dōu méi yǒu kàn chū zhè cì xuán huáng dà tiān zūn kǎo yàn de nán diǎn zài nǎ lǐ 。
但李凡心中有些疑虑的是,到目前为止,他都没有看出这次玄黄大天尊考验的难点在哪里。
Crossing the void and detonating a divine artifact outside the realm seemed like it wouldn't be too difficult with the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's support.
gēn qián sān mù xiāng bǐ , zhè dì sì mù 、 hěn yǒu kě néng yě shì zuì hòu de kǎo yàn , dào mù qián wéi zhǐ , sì hū méi yǒu rèn hé de kùn nán 。
跟前三幕相比,这第四幕、很有可能也是最后的考验,到目前为止,似乎没有任何的困难。
"Detonating a divine artifact, gaining the power to transcend the Divine Wall—once you truly leave, you might lose your chance of becoming the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity. You must defy the will of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao and remain within the realm just as Mr. Bai did in history. Only then can you succeed and become the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity..."
yī qiè zhǐ yào àn bù jiù bān , rèn hé rén dōu néng dá dào lǐ fán rú jīn de jìn dù 。
一切只要按部就班,任何人都能达到李凡如今的进度。
"But, is it really that simple?"
jiē xià lái , héng dù xū kōng 、 yuǎn lí xuán huáng jiè yǐn bào xiān qì , xiǎng lái zài xuán huáng tiān zūn shēn tǐ de jiā chí xià , yīng gāi yě bú shì shén me nán shì 。
接下来,横渡虚空、远离玄黄界引爆仙器,想来在玄黄天尊身体的加持下,应该也不是什么难事。
This was the Realm of Annihilation and Illusion. Even if one chose to detonate a divine artifact and cross the wall, what would be the point?
“ zhì yú yǐn bào xiān qì , huò dé néng gòu chāo tuō xiān qiáng de lì liàng hòu , ruò shì zhēn de xuǎn zé lí kāi 、 kǒng pà jiù huì shī qù chéng wéi xuán huáng tiān zūn de zī gé 。 zhǐ yǒu gēn lì shǐ shàng bái xiān shēng zhēn zhèng xuǎn zé de yī yàng , wéi bèi xuán huáng tiān dào de yì yuàn , yī jiù tíng liú zài xuán huáng jiè 。 cái néng zhēn zhèng jì rèn chéng wéi xuán huáng dà tiān zūn ……”
“至于引爆仙器,获得能够超脱仙墙的力量后,若是真的选择离开、恐怕就会失去成为玄黄天尊的资格。只有跟历史上白先生真正选择的一样,违背玄黄天道的意愿,依旧停留在玄黄界。才能真正继任成为玄黄大天尊……”
Beyond the wall lay an unknownrestricted area—areas where even the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's power had never ventured. It could be confirmed that beyond the wall was exactly as described in the divine scroll decree: the realm of annihilation couldn't be transformed.
“ dàn , zhēn yǒu zhè me jiǎn dān me ?”
“但,真有这么简单么?”
Returning to reality, he would still find himself within the Xuanhuang Realm.
zhè lǐ kě shì yǔn xiān huàn jìng , jiù suàn xuǎn zé yǐn bào xiān qì 、 kuà yuè gāo qiáng yòu rú hé ?
这里可是陨仙幻境,就算选择引爆仙器、跨越高墙又如何?
Would a sane person really choose to leave the Xuanhuang Realm?
gāo qiáng zhī wài , shì xuán huáng tiān zūn lì liàng dōu cóng wèi shè zú de jìn qū 、 wán quán wèi zhī de cún zài 。 jī běn kě yǐ kěn dìng , gāo qiáng zhī wài gēn nà xiān juǎn gào lìng zhōng yī yàng , yǔn xiān jìng gēn běn bù néng yǎn huà 。
高墙之外,是玄黄天尊力量都从未涉足的禁区、完全未知的存在。基本可以肯定,高墙之外跟那仙卷诰令中一样,陨仙境根本不能衍化。
What then was the purpose of this test?
fǎn huí xiàn shí shì jiè hòu , réng rán shēn chù xuán huáng 。
返回现实世界后,仍然身处玄黄。
With these questions lingering, Li Fan silently flew out of the Xuanhuang Realm. Compared to several thousand years ago, the allure of the Divine Wasteland wasn't as strong now.
zhǐ yào shì gè sī wéi zhèng cháng de rén , dōu bú huì zuò chū lí kāi xuán huáng jiè de xuǎn zé ba ?
只要是个思维正常的人,都不会做出离开玄黄界的选择吧?
Even with Mr. Bai's extraordinary strength, resisting the Divine Wasteland and crossing the void was not particularly difficult.
nà me zhè kǎo yàn de yì yì yòu zài nǎ lǐ ?
那么这考验的意义又在哪里?
In the vast expanse of space, Li Fan flew rapidly, the image of the Xuanhuang Realm shrinking behind him until it was swallowed by darkness.
lǐ fán dài zhe zhǒng zhǒng yí wèn , qiǎo rán fēi chū xuán huáng jiè 。
李凡带着种种疑问,悄然飞出玄黄界。
Surrounding him was complete blackness, only the tugging force from the Divine Wasteland reminding him that this wasn't a hallucination.
gēn jǐ qiān nián hòu xiāng bǐ , xiān xū de xī yǐn lì cǐ shí hái méi yǒu nà me qiáng 。
跟几千年后相比,仙墟的吸引力此时还没有那么强。
"This is the Dark Star Sea..."
yǐ bái xiān shēng yuǎn chāo pǔ tōng cháng shēng de shí lì , dǐ kàng xiān xū 、 héng dù xū kōng , dí què bú shì shén me tè bié kùn nán de shì qíng 。
以白先生远超普通长生的实力,抵抗仙墟、横渡虚空,的确不是什么特别困难的事情。
The bone-chilling loneliness and coldness gradually filled his heart. Looking around, there was no difference in scenery. No matter how fast Li Fan flew, the surroundings remained unchanged, leading him to doubt whether he was flying or just circling in place.
zài xū kōng zhōng jí sù fēi chí , shēn hòu de xuán huáng jiè yǐng xiàng yuè lái yuè xiǎo 。
在虚空中急速飞驰,身后的玄黄界影像越来越小。
"Without markers and a spatial coordinate instrument, relying solely on physical strength to traverse the starry sky seems unrealistic."
zuì zhōng chè dǐ yān mò zài hēi àn zhī zhōng 。
最终彻底淹没在黑暗之中。
Li Fan silently calculated the time. After three full days of exertion, feeling that this distance was sufficient, Li Fan finally stopped.
zhōu wéi shì chè dǐ de qī hēi yī piàn 。
周围是彻底的漆黑一片。
In the endless darkness, only he existed.
zhǐ yǒu yáo yáo cóng xiān xū chuán lái de lā chě zhī lì , tí xǐng zhe lǐ fán zhè yī qiè bìng bú shì tā de cuò jué 。
只有遥遥从仙墟传来的拉扯之力,提醒着李凡这一切并不是他的错觉。
He took out all thirteen divine artifacts he had gathered.
“ zhè jiù shì zhì àn xīng hǎi ma ……”
“这就是至暗星海嘛……”
Though far from the Xuanhuang Realm, without support from the world itself, his strength had diminished slightly. But destroying and detonating these divine artifacts was still within his capabilities.
chè gǔ de gū jì yǔ bīng hán , zhú jiàn yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。
彻骨的孤寂与冰寒,逐渐涌上心头。
His spiritual energy surged, first pouring into the Wasteland God Seal.
jǔ mù sì wàng , méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de qū bié 。
举目四望,没有一丝一毫的区别。
It struck like a heavy hammer, causing it to crack.
rèn píng lǐ fán yě rú hé kuài de sù dù fēi dùn , zhōu wéi de jǐng sè yě méi yǒu fēn háo de biàn huà 。
任凭李凡也如何快的速度飞遁,周围的景色也没有分毫的变化。
Boom! Boom! Boom!
zhè yě dǎo zhì le lǐ fán jī hū huái yí zì jǐ shì fǒu zài fēi chí , ér bú shì yuán dì zhuàn quān 。
这也导致了李凡几乎怀疑自己是否在飞驰,而不是原地转圈。
The explosive energy burst in space but was quickly devoured by the endless darkness, leaving no trace behind.
“ méi yǒu dào biāo , yǐ jí xū kōng jīng wěi dìng wèi yí 。 guāng píng ròu shēn fēi dù xīng kōng , dàng zhēn yǒu xiē bù xiàn shí 。”
“没有道标,以及虚空经纬定位仪。光凭肉身飞度星空,当真有些不现实。”
Undeterred, Li Fan saw cracks appearing on the surface of the Wasteland God Seal. Threads of divine spirit force flowed out.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng mò mò jì suàn zhe shí jiān 。
李凡心中默默计算着时间。
He immediately channeled this into his body. Though it couldn't be absorbed, these forces significantly enhanced him.
zú zú quán lì fēi xíng le sān tiān , gǎn jué zhè ge jù lí yǐ jīng zú gòu zhī hòu , lǐ fán cái zhōng yú tíng le xià lái 。
足足全力飞行了三天,感觉这个距离已经足够之后,李凡才终于停了下来。
The most obvious change was...
wú jìn de qī hēi zhī zhōng , zhǐ yǒu lǐ fán yī rén cún zài 。
无尽的漆黑之中,只有李凡一人存在。
The entire Dark Star Sea seemed to brighten slightly. His vision gradually adapted to the darkness, allowing him to see a small point representing the Xuanhuang Realm in the distance.
tā jiāng nà sōu guā ér lái de yī shí sān jiàn xiān qì quán dōu qǔ chū 。
他将那搜刮而来的一十三件仙器全都取出。
"Is this the precursor to crossing the Divine Wall?"
cǐ kè suī rán yuǎn lí xuán huáng jiè , shī qù le shì jiè běn shēn de zhī chí , shí lì yǒu suǒ xià jiàng 。 dàn jǐn jǐn shì cuī huǐ 、 yǐn bào xiān qì , hái shì miǎn qiǎng néng gòu zuò dào de 。
此刻虽然远离玄黄界,失去了世界本身的支持,实力有所下降。但仅仅是摧毁、引爆仙器,还是勉强能够做到的。
Even within the Realm of Annihilation and Illusion, Li Fan felt an inexplicable excitement.
tǐ nèi líng lì fēng kuáng yǒng dòng , shuài xiān cháo zhe nà huāng shén yìn guàn shū jìn qù 。
体内灵力疯狂涌动,率先朝着那荒神印灌输进去。
He immediately increased his efforts. Soon, he completely destroyed the Wasteland God Seal.
hǎo sì yī bǐng bǐng zhòng chuí , měng dì qiāo jī qí shàng 。
好似一柄柄重锤,猛地敲击其上。
After fully absorbing its divine spirit force, Li Fan began attacking the second divine artifact with spiritual energy.
hōng ! hōng ! hōng !
轰!轰!轰!
The artifact was called the Great Sun Golden Bell.
kuáng bào de néng liàng zài xū kōng zhōng bào fā , dàn méi yǒu chuán chū duō yuǎn , jiù bèi wú jìn de hēi àn tūn mò 。
狂暴的能量在虚空中爆发,但没有传出多远,就被无尽的黑暗吞没。
Once he removed the restrictions on it, the Great Sun Golden Bell emitted intense, blinding light, illuminating a large area of the dark starry sky. Fortunately, no terrifying creature lurked in the darkness staring at him.
méi yǒu xiān qǐ sī háo de shuǐ huā 。
没有掀起丝毫的水花。
Under the light, Li Fan found that there was nothing but emptiness around him.
lǐ fán qiè ér bù shě xià , huāng shén yìn nà běn jiù bìng bù zěn me jiān gù de biǎo miàn , chū xiàn zài dào dào de liè xì 。
李凡锲而不舍下,荒神印那本就并不怎么坚固的表面,出现在道道的裂隙。
Following his previous method, he began destroying the Great Sun Golden Bell.
sī sī xiān líng zhī lì , cóng qí zhōng liú chū 。
丝丝仙灵之力,从其中流出。
A hateful cry echoed in his ears, lingering for a long time.
lǐ fán jīng shén yī zhèn , lián máng jiāng qí yǐn dù rù zì jǐ tǐ nèi 。
李凡精神一阵,连忙将其引渡入自己体内。
Li Fan ignored it and continued without hesitation. With the disappearance of the Great Sun Golden Bell from this world, his divine spirit force grew stronger.
gēn zì shēn líng lì jīng wèi fēn míng , wú fǎ bèi xī shōu 。
跟自身灵力泾渭分明,无法被吸收。
Next was the third artifact, the Yin-Yang Hook Sword...
dàn shì yǒu le zhè xiē lì liàng de jiā chí , lǐ fán yě míng xiǎn gǎn jué dào le zì jǐ shēn shàng fā shēng de biàn huà 。
但是有了这些力量的加持,李凡也明显感觉到了自己身上发生的变化。
After destroying nine out of the thirteen artifacts, Li Fan knew he had done enough based on the excited reaction in his mind.
zuì zhí guān de yì diǎn , zé shì ……
最直观的一点,则是……
The star sea no longer appeared pitch black. Instead, it displayed various colors that constantly changed. The colors, like auroras, distorted towards the direction of the Divine Wasteland.
zhěng piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi , sì hū liàng le nà me yì diǎn 。
整片至暗星海,似乎亮了那么一点。
Visually, it felt as if he had entered a new world, and his body felt incredibly light—like floating on water, ready to leap out at any moment.
tā de shì lì , fǎng fú zhú jiàn shì yìng le hēi àn 。
他的视力,仿佛逐渐适应了黑暗。
Lost in this unprecedented experience, Li Fan only shook his head and sighed after some time: "Unfortunately, everything is just an illusion."
néng gòu yuǎn yuǎn kàn jiàn shēn hòu dài biǎo xuán huáng jiè de xiǎo diǎn 。
能够远远看见身后代表玄黄界的小点。
"It's time to return. Completing the task..."
“ zhè jiù shì 【 kuà yuè xiān qiáng 】 de xiān zhào ?”
“这就是【跨越仙墙】的先兆?”
As he made this decision, the surrounding scene suddenly froze. Li Fanacutely sensed that something different had happened despite no visible changes.
jí biàn shì yǔn xiān huàn jìng , lǐ fán de xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē mò míng jī dòng 。
即便是陨仙幻境,李凡的心中也有些莫名激动。
"Is it... did I complete the Great Xuanhuang Supreme Deity's test?"
dāng xià mǎ bù tíng tí , jiā dà shū chū 。
当下马不停蹄,加大输出。
"This seems too easy."
hěn kuài jiù chè dǐ jiāng huāng shén yìn pò huài diào 。
很快就彻底将荒神印破坏掉。
"Wait, is something wrong?!"
wán quán xī qǔ le qí zhōng yùn hán de xiān líng zhī lì hòu , lǐ fán yòu kāi shǐ xiàng dì èr jiàn xiān qì huī wǔ qǐ le líng lì zhòng chuí 。
完全吸取了其中蕴含的仙灵之力后,李凡又开始向第二件仙器挥舞起了灵力重锤。
Li Fan's eyes instantly turned to the remaining four divine artifacts. One of them was the Great Sun Golden Bell, which he had clearly destroyed earlier!
xiān qì míng wèi 【 dà rì jīn zhōng 】。
仙器名为【大日金钟】。
"What’s going on?"
lǐ fán jiě kāi duì tā de jìn zhì zhī hòu , dà rì jīn zhōng fǎng fú zhēn de tiān shàng tài yáng yì bān , shùn jiān fā chū zhì rè 、 cì yǎn de guāng máng 。
李凡解开对它的禁制之后,大日金钟仿佛真的天上太阳一般,瞬间发出炙热、刺眼的光芒。
He narrowed his eyes, trying to retrieve those artifacts but found they were mere illusions.
jiāng zhōu wéi yī dà piàn hēi àn xīng kōng zhào liàng 。
将周围一大片黑暗星空照亮。
"Could it be..."
suǒ xìng méi yǒu fā shēng , hēi àn zhōng yǒu shén me jù xíng kǒng bù shēng wù zhèng sǐ sǐ dīng zhe lǐ fán de kǒng bù chǎng miàn 。
索性没有发生,黑暗中有什么巨型恐怖生物正死死盯着李凡的恐怖场面。
A doubtful hypothesis floated in Li Fan's mind.
guāng máng zhào yìng xià , lǐ fán fā xiàn zhōu wéi dí què zhǐ shì yī piàn xū wú 。
光芒照映下,李凡发现周围的确只是一片虚无。
"Had I returned to reality?"
lǐ fán rú fǎ páo zhì , kāi shǐ jiāng dà rì jīn zhōng cuī huǐ 。
李凡如法炮制,开始将大日金钟摧毁。
