Chapter 128 - Meteorite that Descended from the Heavens!

Add Bookmarks Previous Chapter ← Index → Next Chapter

黑云城哀嚎遍野。
Wailing filled Black Cloud City
一块陨石的坠落，震的城内石楼，纷纷崩碎倒塌。
The descent of a meteor caused the shaking stone buildings within the city to all collapse.
许多身体不佳的凡人，在睡梦当中，就被那恐怖的震荡波，给震的吐血而亡。
Many mortals, who had ordinary bodies, were shaken by the terrifying quake in their sleep, causing them to spit blood and die.
“轰隆隆！”
- Hong rong rong! -
从凌云山附近，依然传来巨大的撞击声，大地还在震荡不休。
Enormous collision sounds still resounded from the nearby Lingyun Mountain, and the earth continued to shake.
黑云城内，还活着的人，都涌上街道，放声痛哭。
The people that were still alive within Black Cloud City rushed into the streets and cried out loudly.
聂家，即使是孩童，因为从小修炼，体内缭绕着灵力，所以也未被那震荡波给震杀。
Within the Nie Family, even the little kids, who had been cultivating since young, survived the tremors due to the spirit force within their bodies.
但，还是有一些年老的族人，在石楼倒塌时，未能及时逃出来，而被石块给砸死，被石块给淹没。
However, there were still a few aged clansmen who weren’t able to escape in time when the buildings collapsed. They were crushed to death and covered by the stone pieces.
聂天站在裂开的石板地上，听着族人的哀嚎，脸色阴沉如水。
Nie Tian was standing on the split stone floor as he heard the cries of his clansmen. His expression sank like water.
到了此时，他百分百肯定，从天而降的陨石火雨，必然是因为天门现世才出现。
Now, he was a hundred percent certain that the rain of meteors that descended from the sky was definitely because of the appearance of the Heavenly Gate in this world. 
天门，因为有一扇在离天域开启，竟然为离天域带来了一场浩劫。
Because a Heavenly Gate had opened within the Heaven Leaving Domain, it unexpectedly brought a calamity to the Heaven Leaving Domain.
黑云城如此，凌云山如此，周边那一座座城池，恐怕也都遭受了陨石火雨的冲击。
The Black Cloud City and the Lingyun Mountain were both in a state of calamity, so the surrounding cities might have also suffered the strikes of the rain of meteors.
他注意到，流星雨坠落之前，曾分散开来，向血宗、鬼宗、狱府、还有灵宝阁、玄雾宫、灰谷的方向而去。
He noticed that, before their descent, the meteors had spread out to the Blood Sect, the Ghost Sect, the Prison Department, as well as the Ling Bao Court, the Black Mist Palace, and the Grey Valley.
他相信，不仅是荒山野岭，很多的生灵聚集之地，也都和黑云城一样，被陨石轰炸了。
He believed that, it wasn’t just the mountainous countries that had been devastated. Areas that had many lives gathered were like the Black Cloud City, also having been bombarded by meteors.
“云家！云家完蛋了！”
“The Yun Family! The Yun Family is done for!”
“云家被一块陨石砸个正着，那恐怖的冲击力，足以让云家灭族！”
“The Yun Family was smashed head on by a meteor! That terrifying power is enough the completely exterminate the Yun Family!”
“这是老天在惩治我们么？”
“Is this punishment from the Heavens?”
聂家外面的街道，很多人都在嚷嚷着，有种末日降临的恐慌。
There were many people shouting on the streets outside the Nie Family, all in a doomsday-like panic.
这种恐慌，在迅速蔓延，让所有人都生出在天灾之下，绝无可能幸存的绝望感。
The panic was rapidly spreading, which gave rise to a feeling of despair that made people believe that there was absolutely no chance of survival under a disaster of Heaven.
“怎会这样？怎么会这样？”姜灵珠惊慌失措。
“Why would this happen? Why would it be like this?” Jiang Lingzhu was panicked.
“爹爹！你没事吧？”
“Father! Are you ok?’
也在此刻，聂天听到了聂茜的惊呼声，他扭头一看，发现他外公聂东海，灰头垢面地从石堆内走了出来。
It was also at that moment when Nie Tian heard Nie Qian’s cries. He turned his head to discover that his grandfather, Nie Donghai, was pushing his head out of the pile of rocks.
聂东海脸色难堪，可眼睛内，却闪烁着精光。
Nie Donghai had an embarrassed expression, but his eyes were shining with a bright light.
“我没事。”他摇了摇头，一脸的心有余悸，“还好，还好我将蕴灵丹炼化，重聚了灵海。如果不是灵海重铸，能够以灵力护体，我……可能也逃不过此劫。”
“I’m fine.” He shook his head, some lingering fear remaining on his face. “Luckily, I managed to refine the Spirit Accumulating Pill and recondense my spirit sea. Were it not for the rebuilding of my spirit sea, which allowed me to use my spirit force to protect my body, I...might not have been able to escape from this calamity.”
“爹爹，你恢复了灵海？”聂茜大喜过望。
“Father, you’ve recovered your spirit sea?” Nie Qian was overjoyed.
“嗯。”聂东海也露出一丝喜色，旋即看向天空，发现他们这一块的夜空之中，已不再有火焰流星划过。
“Yup.” A trace of happiness was shown on Nie Donghai’s face. Shortly after, he looked towards the sky, and noticed that flaming meteors no longer streaked across the night sky.
他稍稍定下心来，道：“去云家看看吧。”
He quietly calmed down and said, “Let’s go to the Yun Family to take a look.”
“走！看看落入云家的那块陨石，究竟是怎么一个情况？”潘涛急切道。
“Go! Let’s see what’s the situation in the Yun Family is after that meteor fell on it!” Pan Tao impatiently said.
“外公，恭喜你。”聂天由衷祝贺。
“Grandfather, congratulations.” Nie Tian sincerely congratulated him.
聂东海展颜微微一笑，道：“多亏了那一枚蕴灵丹。”
Nie Donghai had a slight smile on his face as he said, “It’s all thanks to the Spirit Accumulating Pill.”
这时，聂天也注意到，附近不再有惊人的震荡波形成。
At that moment, Nie Tian had also noticed that there weren’t any more frightening quakes nearby.
至于聂家的伤亡……他其实并不在意。
As for the casualties of the Nie Family... he actually didn’t care about them.
一直以来，他对聂家就没有什么归属感，只要聂东海、聂茜无事，聂家的伤亡，就不会能让他心乱。
From the start, he didn’t feel any sense of belonging towards the Nie Family. As long as Nie Donghai and Nie Qian had no issues, the deaths within the Nie Family wouldn’t affect him.
很快，在聂东海的带领下，众人从聂家走出。
Quickly, the people from the Nie Family walked out, under the lead of Nie Donghai.
来到人流涌动的街道，聂天环顾四周，发现很多石楼，都在震动中崩塌，城内坚硬的石地，也裂开了一个个巨大狭长的口子。
When they arrived at the street where people were rushing through, Nie Tian surveyed his surroundings and noticed that there were many buildings that had collapsed due to the tremors. An enormous, long hole was torn open on the city’s sturdy stone floor. 
黑云城的那些人，都在街道上哀嚎惨叫着，那些人的身旁，还有被他们拖出来的尸体。
The people in Black Cloud City were all wailing on the streets. Beside them were the corpses that they had dragged out.
也有不少人，明显被崩碎的石块砸到，胸襟上满是血迹。
There were also many people who had clearly been smashed by the rocks, their chests were filled with bloodstains.
“聂老爷子，你可知发生了什么？为什么会天降陨石？我们究竟做了什么事，惹怒了上天，让它要这般惩罚我们？”
“Master Nie, do you know what happened? Why would meteorites descend from the sky? What did we do to anger the Heavens and make it want to punish us like this?”
途中很多痛泣者，看到聂东海以后，都满脸泪痕地询问。
On the way, many grievers questioned Nie Donghai with faces full of tears after seeing him.
聂东海深深叹息，没法给出合理的解释，只能沉默着赶路。
Nie Donghai took a deep breath. He had no way of giving a logical explanation, and could only silently walk along.
半响后，众人在他的带领下，来到了云家的大门前。

After a long time, everyone had arrived in front of the Yun Family under his lead.
“聂天，你们也来了？”
“Nie Tian, you guys have also come?”
云家前，安诗怡和安颖，还有安荣、安禾等安家族人，竟先一步聚集于此。
An Shiyi, An Yin, as well as An Rong, An He, and the other An Clansmen were gathered in front of the Yun Family.
看到他们过来后，安诗怡明显松了一口气，道：“没事就好，你没事就好。”她这句话是对聂天一个人说的。
After seeing them come over, An Shiyi clearly relaxed and said, “It’s good that nothing’s happened. It’s very good that nothing happened to you.” Her words was clearly aimed at Nie Tian alone.
眼见安家姐妹也都安然无恙，聂天也放下心来，问道：“你们怎么没有进去？”
As he saw the An Sisters also safe and sound, Nie Tian also relaxed and asked, “Why haven’t you guys gone in yet?”
“我们在等，等余波结束，等……幸存的云家族人走出来。”安诗怡轻轻叹息，说的：“不过，直到目前为止，还没有一个云家族人走出。陨石轰落之地，形成的震荡波最为强烈，别说云家了，连生活在云家附近，那些和云家有关的人，也都全部被震死了。”
“We’re waiting for the aftershocks to end, and waiting...for the lucky clansmen of the Yun Family that managed to survive.” An Shiyi lightly sighed and said, “However, there hasn’t been a Yun Clansmen that has walked out, up till now. The area where the meteorite landed suffered the most violent tremors. Don’t even mention the Yun Family; even the people who lived near the Yun Family, and the people who were related to the Yun Family were shaken to death.”
给她这么一说，聂天才注意到，云家周边……似乎的确没有惊天动地的哭嚎声。
After she said that, Nie Tian only noticed that, there...truly seemed to be no earthshaking cries near the Yun Family.
从破开的云家大门内，他只看到一块灰褐色陨石，那陨石充满了云家，将云家大地凿开了一个巨洞。
From the broken entrance of the Yun Family, he could only see an ash-brown meteor. That meteor filled the Yun Family Household, smashing open an enormous hole in the ground of the Yun Family Household.
整个云家，所有的楼阁屋舍，都被那陨石轰入地底深处。
All of the buildings in the entire Yun Family Household had been smashed into the depths of the earth by that meteor.
云家，似乎在一瞬间，就从黑云城消失了。
The Yun Family seemed to have vanished from Black Cloud City within an instant.
他们家族的原居地，如今只剩下一块显露在巨洞外面的灰褐色陨石，有零星火光，不时从那陨石的表层闪烁着。
Currently, the original land of their clan only contained an ash-grey meteor. There were fragmentary sparks of fiery light that occasionally flickered on the surface of the meteor.
赶来的安家族人，不敢第一时间过去，就是担心那些火光会有危险，在等候那些火光的熄灭。
The An Clansmen that had rushed over didn’t dare to go inside when they had first arrived. They were worried that the fiery lights were dangerous, and were waiting for those fiery lights to extinguish.
“云家……所有人都死了？”聂茜突轻声问道。
“The Yun Family...everyone died?” Nie Qian suddenly asked with a soft voice.
安诗怡愣了一下，深深看了她一眼，道：“只要留在云家的族人，恐怕都无人能活着逃出，包括云家的家主云蒙。”
An Shiyi was stunned for a moment and deeply looked at her as she said, “I don’t think anyone could have escaped if they were in the Yun Family, including the Yun Family’s Clan Master Yun Meng.
“云蒙也死了？”聂东海表情有些复杂，不甘心地说道：“我好不容易灵海重聚，还想向云蒙讨个说法呢，没料到……他突然就这么死了！”
“Yun Meng also died?” A somewhat complicated expression appeared on Nie Donghai as he begrudgingly said, “I only managed to recondense my spirit sea with such difficulty, and I was planning to “get an explanation” from Yun Meng. I didn’t think that...he’d suddenly die like this!”
“我到里面看看。”聂天不等众人劝说，已一头钻入了云家破碎的大门。
“I’ll go take a look inside.” Nie Tian didn’t wait for anyone to dissuade him before he digging his way into the Yun Family’s broken entrance.
他一踏进来，就清晰地看到整个云家都被一块巨大陨石给填满，陨石的下方出现了一个巨洞。
Once he made it inside, he clearly saw that the entire Yun Family Household had been smashed by an enormous meteor, and an enormous hole had appeared below the meteor.
灰褐色的陨石表面，有许多闪烁着的火点，似朝着一个方向轻轻游弋着。
There were many flickering sparks of fire on the surface of the ash-brown meteor, and it seemed as if they were gently moving towards a direction.
那些火点游过之地，还有淡淡的痕迹，那些痕迹……曲曲折折，似乎蕴藏着某种未知奇妙。
Those sparks of fire moved around the area. There were also faint marks on the meteor. Those marks...were twisting, as if they contained some kind of unknown wonder inside them.
“聂天小心！”
“Be careful Little Tian!”
安诗怡和聂东海、聂茜，都大声提醒。
An Shiyi, Nie Donghai, and Nie Qian loudly advised him.
因为此时，胆大包天的聂天，竟然攀到了陨石上方，追寻着一个游动的火点，向陨石中心位置而去。
Because, at that moment, the reckless Nie Tian had actually climbed on top of the meteor to pursue a moving dot of fire. He then headed towards the centre of the meteor.
他们也逐个冲入云家，在陨石边沿停住，焦急地看着聂天，让他不要轻举妄动。
They also charged into the Yun Family Household one after another and stopped beside the meteor. They anxiously watched, making sure he didn’t make a reckless move.
而聂天，发现那灰褐色的陨石，除了有点发烫以外，也没有什么危险，就不顾他们的劝说，继续独立独行。
On the other hand, Nie Tian noticed that the ash-grey meteor no longer had any danger, except for it being slightly burning hot. He ignored their advice and continued walking alone.
很快，聂天就追逐着一个火点，到了陨石中央。
Quickly, Nie Tian had pursued the spark of fire to the middle of the meteor.
在那儿，更多的火点聚集着，汇向一个奇异的图案。
There were even more sparks of fire gathered there, which had converged into a mysterious pattern.
那图案，像是一扇半开合着的门，在不断接纳着那些光点。
The pattern looked like a half opened gate that was unceasingly letting those sparks of light inside.
众多散落于陨石四边的光点，慢慢融化那图案时，那图案变得越来越亮，那“门”也从半开合的状态，渐渐敞开……
When the many sparks of light that were scattered around the meteor slowly fused with the pattern, the pattern became brighter and brighter, and that “Gate” slowly opened further from that half opened state...
“门？”
“A gate?”
聂天心神一动，忽蹲下来，仔细去观察。
Nie Tian’s expression changed as he suddenly crouched down to carefully observe it.
“难道……这图案和天门有关？因天门而起？”他暗暗思索着。
“Could it be that...this pattern has a relationship with the Heavenly Gate? Was it formed because of the Heavenly Gate?” He secretly pondered.
“嗤嗤！”
- Chi chi! -
在他思考时，更多的光点逸入那图案内，那图案变得愈发璀璨耀目！
While he pondered, even more sparks of fire merged into that pattern, and the pattern became increasingly bright!
盯着那图案细看的聂天，马上发现所有游弋于陨石表面的光点，在这极短的时间内，都汇入了那图案之中。
Nie Tian, who was staring at the pattern, immediately noticed that all of the sparks of fire, which were moving around the surface of the meteor, merged into the pattern within an extremely short period of time.
“门”一般的图案，变得愈发刺目，并传来一股柔和的力量。
The pattern that was like a “Gate” turned increasingly bright, and a gentle power spread out from it.
聂天下意识地，伸手去触摸。
Nie Tian unconsciously extended his hand out to touch it.
当他的那只左手，点在那图案时，那图案骤然爆开，无数闪烁的光点，如暴雨般猛地飞入他掌心。
When his left hand touched the pattern, it suddenly exploded out, and the countless flickering sparks of fire were like a rainstorm that suddenly flew into his hand.
一股酸麻火辣的感觉，蔓延他整个手臂，他忽地发现，从他的手背上，迅速突显出一个图案。
A numb and scorching feeling spread out through his arm, and he suddenly discovered that a pattern was rapidly appearing on the back of his hand.
那图案，就是他刚刚触碰的“门”！
That pattern was the “Gate” that he had just touched!
陨石上的图案顷刻消失，可却又在他手背上，以刺青的形态重现！
The pattern on the meteor instantly disappeared. However, it appeared on the back of his palm like a tattoo!
“踏入天门的钥匙！”聂天福至心灵的惊呼。
“The key to stepping into the Heavenly Gate!” Nie Tian happily cried out.
……
Note: The “Gate” pattern is this character: 门
