离天门的开启，还有一小段时间。
There was still a small period of time before the opening of the Heavenly Gate.
聂天站在那澄清湖泊旁，听着柳砚的低声介绍，悄悄打量着四周。
Nie Tian stood beside that clear lake and listened to Liu Yan’s quiet introduction, as he secretly measured up his surroundings.
离天域七大宗门，除灵宝阁以外，每一个宗门都有十来人前来。
Out of the Heaven Leaving Domain’s seven great sects, every sect had ten people who came along, except for the Ling Bao Court.
那些人，大多数都是中天境和先天境，只有极少几人，如他一般处于后天境。
A majority of those people would be of the Zhongtian and Xiantian Realms. Only an extremely few number of people, like him, would be at the Houtian Realm.
然而，从外域而来的那些人，以聂天的感觉来看，每一个似乎都有先天境的修为。
However, with his perception, Nie Tian saw that those people that came from other domains all seemed to have a cultivation of the Xiantian Realm.
不久前，离天域的七大势力，还厮杀过一番。
Not long before, the seven great powers of the Heaven Leaving Domain had fought.
可如今，七大宗门获得天门钥匙者，齐聚此地，竟然没有爆发任何冲突。
However, currently, the people from the seven great sects who obtained Heavenly Gate Keys unexpectedly didn’t explode into any kind of conflicts.
他并不知道，之所以如此，都是因为狱府在暗中控制着。
He didn’t know that the reason why it was like this was all because of the hidden manipulations of the Prison Department.
灵宝阁那边，安诗怡频频看向他，眼中满是关切和询问，但却没有前来讲话，似有所顾忌。
Over at the Ling Bao Court, An Shiyi would constantly look towards him with her eyes full of concern and inquisitiveness. However, she didn’t come over to talk to him, as if she had some apprehensions.
面对安诗怡的注视，他也只能以微笑回应。
Facing An Shiyi’s gaze, he could only give a slight smile in reply.
又过了一会儿。
Another moment pa.s.sed again.
“咔咔！”
“Ka ka!”
湖泊上方的天空，骤然传出了异响，虚空仿佛成为了一面巨大的玻璃，仿佛在逐渐碎裂。
A strange sound suddenly echoed out from the sky above the lake. The empty sky seemed to have become an enormous piece of gla.s.s that seemed to be gradually shattering.
“来了！”
“It’s coming!”
所有获得天门钥匙者，包括那狱府巨城上的众多强者，都神情为之一动。
All of the people who obtained Heavenly Gate Keys, including the many experts on top of the Prison Department’s enormous city, changed their expressions.
这一刻，聂天也突然感觉，烙印在他手背上的天门钥匙，像是一团火般，变得极为灼热。
At this moment, Nie Tian also suddenly felt that the Heavenly Gate Key on the back of his palm seemed to be a clump of fire that had become extremely hot.
聂天猛地看向身后的巨城。
Nie Tian suddenly looked towards the enormous city behind him.
一股股混杂着暴躁、疯狂、嗜杀、毁灭万物的恐怖气息，不知为何，就从他身后的巨城内释放开来。
A terrifying aura mixed with violence, madness, killing, and extermination was released by the enormous city behind him, due to some unknown reason.
回首只看了一眼，他便骇然失色，道：“那座城？！”
He turned around to look at it, and his expression suddenly changed as he said: “That city?!”
城墙上，许许多多的刻画而出的妖魔，犹如被注入了灵魂和生命，像瞬间变得鲜活了。
The many portraits of demons on the city walls seemed to have spirits and life poured into them, and they instantly seemed to be alive.
一头身长数十米，全身有着暗青色鳞甲，头顶有着一根弯角的妖魔，半边身子，竟从城墙内挣脱而出。
Half of the body of a demon which was several meters long, possessing a body full with dark green scales, as well as a curved horn on the top of its head unexpectedly broke free of the city walls.
“呼呼呼！”
“Hu hu hu!”
一条条粗长的锁链，夹杂着无数碎小符文，也猛地缠绕而来。
Rough and long chains with countless fragments of small talismans within it also suddenly twisted around it.
那些锁链，似穿透着妖魔的身躯，不断地往回拽，要把它重新抽回城墙内。
Those chains seemed to have pa.s.sed through the body of that demon and unceasingly wrapped around it, wanting to pull the demon back to the city walls.
那妖魔，拍打着锁链，仰天发出无声的咆哮，在极力挣扎着。
That demon slapped the chains and faced the sky to let out a soundless roar as it used all its strength to struggle.
更多的妖魔，也似乎感觉到了天地即将发生大变，都在无声嗷嚎着，试图逃离。
Even more demons seemed to have also sensed the enormous changes that was about to happen to the Heavens and Earth. They were also letting out soundless howls as they tried to escape.
可在那坚厚的石壁内，却窜出了数千根夹杂着符文的粗长锁链，每一根锁链，都渗透到妖魔体内，不断地往回拉。
However, several thousand chains that were mixed with talismans appeared from the strong and thick stone walls. Every single chain penetrated the body of those demons as they continuously pulled them back.
巨城，岿然不动，似压根不受那些妖魔挣扎的影响。
The enormous city stood tall and unmoving, as if it wasn’t affected at all by the struggle of those demons.
城墙上，数百名狱府的强者，脸色冷漠，看向那些妖魔的目光，带着点讥讽的意味。
On top of the city walls, several hundreds of experts from the Prison Department had cold expressions, and the gaze that they used to look at the demons was slightly mocking.
似乎，他们觉得那些妖魔的反抗和挣扎，根本就是徒劳无功。
It seemed like they felt that the resistance and struggle that the demons were doing was completely useless.
“炼狱困魔阵！”厉樊脸色微变，也震惊地看向那座巨城，道：“那些被禁锢了不知多少年的妖魔，竟然也能察觉到天地异变，想要出来作乱！”
“Demon Trapping Purgatory Formation!” Li Fan’s expression slightly changed and he was also stunned as he looked towards the enormous city. He said: “Those demons that have been trapped for G.o.d knows how many years can actually sense the changes in the Heaven and Earth and want to rise in revolt!”
“厉叔，狱府……就是一座囚牢，禁锢着妖魔？”聂天惊骇道。
“Uncle Li, the Prison Department...is a prison used to imprison demons?” Nie Tian was shocked as he asked.
他听说过，狱府就是一座巨大的囚牢，将很多曾经作恶八方，荼毒生灵的妖魔给封禁着。
He had heard that the Prison Department was an enormous prison that sealed demons that tormented the people and had done evils everywhere.
但他以为，那座囚牢……应该是深藏在地底深处的。
However, he thought that the prison… was hidden in the depths of the earth.
“你猜对了。”厉樊沉重地点了点头，向他解释：“那座巨城，就是最大的囚牢！而你如今所见的妖魔，据我所知……以前乃是离天域的原居民。”
“You guessed it right.” Li Fan heavily nodded his head and explained to him: “That enormous city is the greatest prison! And the demons that you are seeing now, according to what I know...are the indigenous people of the Heaven Leaving Domain in the past.”
“原居民？”姜灵珠也微微变色。
“The indigenous people?” Jiang Lingzhu’s expression also slightly changed.
厉樊苦笑，“不错，离天域原本属于他们。也不知道在多少年前，有强大的炼气士远渡星河，找到了此地。”
Li Fan bitterly laughed: “Correct, the Heaven Leaving Domain originally belonged to them. Some unknown years ago, there were strong Lianqi Warriors that could traverse the stars, that had found this place.”
“他们到来以后，就和离天域的那些妖魔展开了持续数十年的血腥战斗。”
“After they arrived here, they started a b.l.o.o.d.y battle within the Heaven Leaving Domain with those demons that lasted several tens of years.”
“最强大的妖魔，被逐个斩杀，很多能肉身跨域的炼气士，也被妖魔所撕碎吞吃。”
“The strongest demons were killed one after another, and the flesh of many Lianqi Warriors that could travel across domains were also torn apart and eaten by the demons.”
“但，最终的获胜者，乃是我们人族的炼气士！”
“However, the victor in the end was the Lianqi Warriors from our human race!”
“如今的离天域，经历了很多年的衍变，才成为现在的模样，被七大宗给统御着。”
“The current Heaven Leaving Domain has gone through the changes of many years before becoming its current state, which is controlled by the seven great sects.”
“炼狱困魔阵！”
“Demon Trapping Purgatory Formation!”
从外域而来的那些先天境炼气士，看到巨城上扶摇上天，试图逃离的众多妖魔，也微微变色。
Those Xiantian Realm Lianqi Warriors that came from the outside domains looked at the many demons that were trying to escape from the city, and their expressions also changed slightly.
“离天域的狱府，果然是底蕴惊人。要不是因为狱府坐落于此，离天域……早就被侵入了。”
“The roots of the Heaven Leaving Domain’s Prison Department is actually so frightening. If it were not for the Prison Department being situated here, the Heaven Leaving Domain...would already have been invaded.”
“能困住如此多的妖魔，让他们不但不能挣脱，还持续性抽离着他们的力量，狱府还真是厉害。”
“For them being able to trap so many demons, and not just stop them from struggling, but also continue to deprive them of their power, the Prison Department is truly strong.”
“但，那些妖魔为何会因为天门开启而暴动？”
“However, why would the demons start to rebel after knowing that the Heavenly Gate was about to open?”
“鬼知道。”
“G.o.d knows.”
他们谈话时，湖泊上的空间碎裂声，变得愈发响亮。
When they were chatting, the sounds of tearing from the s.p.a.ce above the lake got increasingly louder.
聂天的注意力，也被天空给吸引，不由抬头去看。
Nie Tian’s attention was also attracted to the sky, and he couldn’t help but looking.
“喀喀！”
“Ka ka!”
两道狭长而巨大的空间裂缝，像是被恐怖利刃切割开来，悄悄在虚空闪现而出。
Two long and enormous s.p.a.ce cracks seemed to have been cut open by a terrifying blade as they quietly appeared in the empty sky.
两道空间缝隙纵横交织，交织点，骤然爆出了刺目光芒。
The two s.p.a.ce cracks intersected, and an eye piercing light suddenly exploded out of the intersection point.
那光芒，缓缓变化着，渐渐凝成了一个巨大光团，光团涌动着，又慢慢衍变，似在变幻为聂天等人手背上的天门图案。
That light slowly transformed and gradually condensed into an enormous lump of light. The lump of light surged about and slowly evolved, as if it was transforming for the pattern of the Heavenly Gate that was on the back of the hands of Nie Tian and the others.
“呼呼呼！”
“Hu hu hu!”
离天域方圆千里内的灵气，似被空间裂变所影响，疯狂聚拢而来。
The spirit qi within a thousand li radius of the Heaven Leaving Domain seemed to have been affected by the s.p.a.ce crack and madly gathered.
聂天暗暗感知，发现所有汇聚而来的灵气，都朝向了那一扇即将凝聚而成的天门。
Nie Tian secretly used his awareness, and discovered that all of the spirit qi that converged over was heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Gate which was about to open.
“获得天门钥匙者，都做好准备，待到天门凝结成形，你们会被门内的力量牵引，直接跨入其中！”
“People who have obtained Heavenly Gate Keys, make your preparation! When the Heavenly Gate has finished condensing, you will be pulled over by the power of the Gate and will directly step inside!”
狱府的府主乔阳，没有去理会下面巨城内妖魔的暴动，他始终看向即将成形的天门，扬声高呼。
The Prison Department’s Department Head Qiao Yang ignored the rebellion of the demons on the enormous city. He had always been looking towards the Heavenly Gate which was about to form, and raised his voice to cry out.
“嗷嚎！嗷……”
“Ao hao! Ao…”
就在此时，一声声惊天动地的咆哮，竟然从那交织的空间裂缝内传来。
At this moment, worldshaking roars unexpectedly came from the intersection point of the s.p.a.ce cracks.
滚滚紫黑色的烟雾，从那些空间裂缝内泄露，瞬间蔓延到狱府天空。
A rolling purple-black mist leaked out from the s.p.a.ce crack and immediately spread out to the sky above the Prison Department.
“什么？！”
“What?!”
所有狱府强者，包括乔阳在你，都猛然色变。
The expressions of all of the experts from the Prison Department, including Qiao Yang, suddenly changed.
从外域而来的那些炼气士，看到即将凝结的天门周边，那撕裂开来的狭长缝隙内，不断喷涌着紫黑色烟雾，也都突然恐惧不安。
When the Lianqi Warriors from the other domains looked at the surroundings of the Heavenly Gate which was about to condense, they saw that the long and narrow hole that was torn apart was unceasingly squirting out a purple black mist, and they suddenly turned fearful too.
“啪啪！”
“Pa pa!”
巨城上，一根粗长的锁链，突然碎断开来。
On the enormous city, a rough and long chain suddenly shattered.
无数的闪亮如星辰的符文，从断裂的锁链中飞出，试图去封禁那头最强的妖魔。
Countless amounts of talismans that were as bright as stars flew out from the snapped chain, attempting to seal the strongest demon.
可那头妖魔，却疯狂挣扎着，像是被族内大尊招呼着，硬生生冲向了一道空间缝隙内。
However, that demon madly struggled. It seemed to have been summoned by a senior from its clan as it forcibly charged towards a s.p.a.ce crack.
“不好！”乔阳终于色变，“阻止它们！”
“Not good!” Qiao Yang’s expression finally changed, “Stop them!”
在第一个妖魔之后，又有新的妖魔疯狂扭动着身子，像是突获魔力。
After the first demon, another demon madly twisted its body, as if it had suddenly obtained demonic power.
聂天凝神注意，发现从空间缝隙内泄露的紫黑色烟雾，化为了绵绵溪河，流向了被困在巨城内的妖魔体内。
Nie Tian focused his attention, and noticed that the purple-black mist that was leaking out of the s.p.a.ce crack had turned into a continuous river that flowed towards the bodies of the demons that were trapped within the enormous city.
接收了那些紫黑色烟雾的妖魔，则是一下子变得力大无穷，连穿透他们躯体的锁链，都再也无法困禁他们。
The demons that received the purple-black mist seemed to have obtained extraordinary strength in an instant, and even the chains that had penetrated their bodies were no longer able to seal them.
一头头妖魔，兴奋地撕扯着锁链，逐个从巨城内挣脱，都钻向了那撕裂的空间缝隙。
Many demons excitedly tore apart their chains and broke free from the enormous city, one after another. After that, they made their way into the s.p.a.ce crack that was torn apart.
而狱府的那些炼气士，察觉到不妙以后，全部开始取出了灵器，试图阻止。
On the other hand, once the Lianqi Warriors from the Prison Department felt that the situation was far from rea.s.suring, they all took out their spirit equipments as they tried to stop them.
一时间，狱府天空宝光万丈，各类稀奇古怪的灵器，都厉啸着飞出。
Within a moment, a bottomless amount of light(that came from treasures) filled the sky above the Prison Department, and all sorts of bizarre spirit equipments fiercely whistled out.
同时，那两道巨大空间缝隙的交织点，天门也终于凝结而成。
At the same time, the Heavenly Gate within the intersection point of the two enormous s.p.a.ce cracks finally condensed.
一股吸力，猛地从中爆发。
A wave of absorption force suddenly exploded out from it/
所有获得天门钥匙者，被手背上的天门图案牵引者，一个个凌空而起，飞向了天门。
All of the people that had obtained Heavenly Gate Keys were pulled along by the pattern of the Heavenly Gate on the back of their hands. One by one, they rose into the air and flew towards the Heavenly Gate.
