Ningshuai shuddered after the First Venerable of Yang was brought up. He took out his exalted pot and used its power to hide everyone here.
“It’s useless, it knows we’re here.” The turtle came out from a pit of mud since Ningshuai stomped it down there earlier.
“This turtle is up to no good, we need to make soup with it.” Ningshuai wanted to capture the turtle with his pot then start a fire to boil it.
“It’s grievously wounded so this is the best chance to kill it. Otherwise, once it has recovered, it’ll come for us first.”
Nefarious laughter came from within. It had a bewitching effect, capable of affecting the mind: “You know me best, foster-father.”
Feiyun released a holy Buddhist light that turned into numerous Buddhas to purify the evil energy nearby. The voice of this Venerable stopped affecting others as much.
Since Feiyun was the strongest here, he could sense this pressure the best and asked: “Is it really wounded? I feel like it’s baiting us here.”
This malefic force could corrode his Buddhist energy. His hands became charred just like Ji Haotian’s body.
“Boom!” His seven phoenix bones lit up and turned into fire b.a.l.l.s. They incinerated this evil force and his hands turned white again.
“The son of the demon is impressive indeed.” This venerable laughed and praised Feiyun.
The turtle’s sh.e.l.l increased in size, eventually towering at thirty meters. It turned into a bell that flew outward, destroying the cliff with a loud blast.
“Boom!” A crimson radiance exploded in the area but it couldn’t stop the bell.
The cliff started cracking before collapsing altogether. A gray figure came out.
Its skin was white with hair more than ten feet long, completely shrouding its face. It looked just like a ferocious phantom with a frightening voice: “Foster-father, you’re still as hot-tempered as ever, trying to beat me up right away. Do you still think I’m the same as the past?”
So it turned out that the turtle wasn’t lying! It really took care of the First Venerable of Yang before.
The world would laugh if they were to find out that it had a turtle for a foster-father.
“It’ll be just like before!” The turtle stood up straight and exuded a white radiance.
Its body looked like jade. An ancient image emerged on its sh.e.l.l, looking like the depiction of the cosmo.
Its neck was already very long. Scales started to form so it looked like a snake coiling around the sh.e.l.l. A divine light flashed on top of its head.
“Bang!” It spewed out a beam with enough force to make the stars tremble.
The ground beneath turned into a terrible chasm along the path of the beam - a thousand miles long and thousands of meters wide. Lava started to flow up from the bottom.
The First Venerable bellowed after being struck by the beam. Its body got split into seven parts. They slammed into the ground and exploded like meteors, resulting in large craters.
The mountain in front of them had turned into a river of lava. The heat from below scorched Ningshuai’s black face.
“d.a.m.n, this turtle is really violent!” He was still holding a rock used to beat the turtle’s sh.e.l.l earlier. He became afraid after seeing the turtle’s true strength and quickly tossed the rock into the lava. It melted right away.
“That’s our turtle? I, I feel like I’m looking at a divine beast.” Ji Xinnu and Ji Xiaonu spent the most time with the turtle and never thought that it was so powerful.
Feng Feiyun put on his divine garments and became extremely powerful. He borrowed the exalted pot and headed for one of the seven parts.
He unleashed a red beam towards one of the craters. The pot was immensely powerful, immediately destroying the area.
“Demon’s son, you can’t kill me! I am immortal!” A piece of skin flew out from the lava. It contained a violent power that quickly froze the lava.
It flashed and snow descended from above. The flakes gathered into a glacier and repelled the exalted pot.
Drops of blood landed on the ground, destroying all the trees and vegetations.
The turtle had separated this venerable into seven parts with just one move. This part alone was still quite mighty.
Feiyun only managed to fight evenly with it while using a Dominating Armament.
Each part was still capable of killing an Enlightened Being. This was a top master in this region.
Feiyun used his Swift Samsara, gaining the speed of lightning. He continued a.s.saulting the skin with his pot while not caring about destroying the area.
Each strand of energy landing below would result in a lava lake.
Bi Ningshuai joined in, using the Dominating Armament of the Beiming named Ice Severer.
Long Cangyue, Little Demoness, and the two sisters also helped him with activating this weapon. This allowed them to survive the conflict.
Meanwhile, the turtle was as big as a mountain by this point. A seven-colored river flowed around it as it fought against the other six pieces of skin.
They wanted to fuse together again to regain their true power but the turtle kept on smas.h.i.+ng them apart with its head.
“It’s an immortal Void, only the Ghost Sacred Bottle can suppress it!” The turtle yelled.
Feiyun in the distance heard this and summoned the bottle. However, he heard Yama speaking: “Capture it! Capture it! The stronger the existence, the stronger I’ll become!”
This bottle couldn’t refine Yama. All of the creatures that have been captured so far became its food. It might be able to break out at this rate.
“Stop dreaming.” Feiyun put away the bottle and took out an ancient stone coffin. The runes on the surface have nearly faded completely but it still had a frightening nether presence.
He got this coffin from the Destruction Corpse Cave in exchange for Yama’s leg. Its origin could be traced back to the stone age, serving as the resting place of a tribal leader. It had an unfathomable strength.
“That coffin?” The turtle was surprised to see this, seemingly recognizing it.
Feiyun knew that the thing inside was extremely scary but still decided to open the lid, only by an inch.
A freezing aura from within nearly froze him. Fortunately, he was wearing the Firebird Gown.
Something inside screeched. Those who heard this would feel as if there was an invisible hand clutching their throat.
The coffin started moving; the lid opened further. A faint expanse shot out, almost like an evil universe. It pulled in the piece of skin nearby.
“Ahh!” The First Venerable’s screams could be heard as the coffin shook back and forth. It seemed to be bitten by the neck.
The screams eventually stopped, leaving only behind the strange screeching.
Everyone didn’t dare to move because this coffin was unreal. It managed to kill a part of an immortal Void in no time at all.
Feiyun was shrouded in a Buddhist light. He turned this light into two golden palms of energy and lifted the coffin. He flew towards the turtle and the six pieces of skin.
“You’re opening it again?!” The turtle shrank back into its little white form, drilling into the soil to flee.
The six skin pieces weren’t so lucky. The power inside the coffin dragged them in, not letting them resist.
“Boom!” The lid closed and the coffin started shaking again with more screams.
Eventually, the turtle came back out of the ground while holding a bamboo scroll. It started looking everywhere for Feiyun.
“I, I think he got caught by the First Venerable’s hair and got pulled inside the coffin.” Ningshuai was trembling and pointed at the coffin.
