Chapter 144: The Spirit Turtle Breaks Through, Power Soars!
A beastly roar, shocking the entire realm!
At this moment.
Not only the military and civilians in Longhai City saw this giant turtle soaring into the sky, heading straight for the mysterious black hole in the air.
In Da Xia, and even in every city and survivor base around the world.
At this moment, everyone looked up in horror, watching this suddenly appearing giant turtle.
Seeing it emit a radiant holy light, raising its head high, its turtle mouth wide open, it directly swallowed the huge vortex that suppressed all humans above their heads!
"What's going on?!"
"When did such a huge turtle appear on Earth?!"
"Is this a monster? Or is it a guardian beast of our Earth?"
"I remember in the legends of Da Xia, there seems to be a turtle-shaped divine beast, could it be the one in front of us?"
"Xuanwu! This is undoubtedly the Xuanwu divine beast among the Four Divine Beasts!"
"Hahaha! We are saved!"
"Did you see that? If the Xuanwu divine beast has appeared, won't the other three divine beasts be far behind?!"
"I knew it! I knew it! How could our great ancient country of Da Xia be bullied by a group of extraterrestrial monsters?"
"Look, look, look! The Four Divine Beasts that suppress the national fortune have already started to appear. Sob, sob, sob, we are finally saved..."
...
People from all over the world, seeing this phenomenon, were all discussing it.
Some thought that this was a more powerful monster appearing, feeling fearful.
Some thought that this was a counterattack from the native divine beasts of Earth, feeling joyful.
Especially the survivors within Da Xia, who grew up hearing the legends of the Four Divine Beasts.
When they saw this turtle soaring into the sky, covering the starry sky, they instantly associated it with the Xuanwu divine beast, one of the Four Divine Beasts.
Some worried, some were excited, some trembled, and some were filled with vigor.
Regardless, at this moment, everyone was nervously and closely watching the movements of the giant turtle in the void.
Inside Longhai City.
Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao were also awakened from their meditation by the commotion.
The two little girls stared in astonishment at the small turtle that had just flown up from in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into such a huge creature!
They knew that this small turtle was their master's pet, carried on his shoulder every day, and they liked it very much.
At the same time, they also knew that the strength of this small turtle might be above theirs. Every time they tried to reach out and catch the turtle, it could easily evade their capture.
Even after Ye Feihong broke through to the Intermediate Grandmaster Realm, she still couldn't touch the shadow of the small turtle.
From this, it can be seen that the small turtle's strength is extremely strong, and it may have already reached the Saint Realm.
But even so.
They had never thought that the transformed small turtle would be so huge, almost reaching half of Longhai City!
Even more unexpectedly, it would suddenly fly into the air at this moment and directly charge towards the extraterrestrial teleportation channel!
What is it trying to do?
Does it want to swallow that teleportation channel in one gulp?
Don't be ridiculous!
Even their master, who has already reached the Divine Connection Realm, doesn't dare to say that he can break through that teleportation channel. This small turtle can't even defeat their master, let alone do it!
The two little girls stood side by side, dumbfounded, watching the giant turtle rush towards the teleportation channel like a moth to a flame.
Boom!
After a loud noise and a huge shock.
The two little girls were stunned to see that the old turtle had completely swallowed and enveloped the vast vortex!
Without the illumination of the circular lightning, the whole world instantly plunged into darkness.
Everyone felt their vision go black, and they couldn't see any scenery in the void anymore!
Swish!
At this moment, Liu Zimo suddenly appeared in the courtyard, standing in front of his two precious disciples, also looking up at the void.
The old turtle was his contracted spirit beast, and when its body moved, it instantly left him, its master, thousands of kilometers away. Naturally, Liu Zimo sensed it for the first time.
But even he didn't expect that this lazy and gluttonous turtle, who usually only knew how to sleep on his shoulder, would be so fierce and brave this time, directly swallowing the teleportation channel that projected the Illusionary Demon Realm onto Earth!
"Master!" "Master!"
Seeing the master suddenly appear before them, Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao cheered as if they had found their backbone. They quickly approached, one on each side, and instinctively hugged the master's arm.
"Master, this little turtle you raised is amazing!"
"Yeah, everyone says it's a divine beast, Xuanwu. Could it be true?"
"And also, the little turtle swallowed the teleportation channel. Will it have indigestion? Is there any danger?"
"Master, you must save it. We still want to play with it!"
The two girls chattered incessantly, their words filled with concern for the longevity of the turtle.
After all, they had been traveling together for over a month, and even though the turtle didn't usually like to play with them and ignored them, they didn't want anything bad to happen to it.
"Heh, a divine beast, who came up with such a wild idea? They really dare to think!" Liu Zimo smiled and shook his head lightly, saying calmly, "It's not that mysterious. This old turtle is just a long-lived spirit turtle. If it were a legendary divine beast, how could I have tamed it?"
"But you don't have to worry too much. Although it's not a divine beast, it already has the power of the Holy Realm and won't easily die."
"Moreover, this old turtle is usually very afraid of death. It must have some confidence to suddenly become so brave. Let's just watch!"
While speaking, Liu Zimo continued to look up at the void.
Others' vision was obstructed, and their spiritual consciousness was limited, unable to perceive what was happening in the void at this moment.
But for him, who had already reached the peak of the Transcendent God Realm, it was not a problem at all.
Moreover, the purple lock shadow shining above the turtle's head was the best lighting tool for him.
Even without using spiritual consciousness or martial intent, he could clearly see the current condition of the turtle.
It had to be said that compared to when he first met the turtle in the East Sea, the size of this old turtle had increased by more than ten times!
In its completely unleashed state, it seemed to be no less impressive than the entire Dragon Sea City!
At this moment, the old turtle was swallowing the teleportation channel in one bite.
Although it bit down, its huge mouth completely enveloped the entire exit of the teleportation channel, but it couldn't bite or swallow it.
It was hanging in mid-air in a very awkward manner, with its neck stretched out, swaying back and forth.
Fortunately, the entire sky was already dark at this time.
There were few human cultivators on Earth who could see the scene in the void. The ridiculous state of the old turtle was not seen by many people.
Otherwise, this old turtle would probably be socially dead.
"So, what does this old turtle want to do?"
"Could it be that it wants to swallow all the demon brats that were teleported from the Illusionary Demon Realm?"
Liu Zimo muttered to himself.
"It's unlikely. When we were in the East Sea before, it had trouble digesting even a low-level demon beast it swallowed every day."
"Now that it has successfully advanced to the peak of the Manifestation Realm, it's impossible for it to swallow thousands of higher-level extraterrestrial demon beasts all at once!"
Liu Zimo directly rejected his previous speculation.
With the old turtle's current strength, it should not be able to resolve the highly toxic substances inside so many demon beasts all at once.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for it, who had lived a lifetime, to seek death like this.
But if it didn't want to stop the arrival of the demon beasts, what was its purpose in doing this?
The same question also arose in the minds of Hong Yuxun in the capital city, Zhiyuan Shengshi in Luozhou City, and Zhang Zhenren on Longhu Mountain.
At this moment on Earth, besides Liu Zimo, only the three of them who had successfully reached the Manifestation Realm could see everything happening in the void.
They were also speculating about the origin of this suddenly appearing giant turtle and its purpose in doing so.
At the moment of the third demonic calamity, such an unexpected incident in the void really puzzled them.
Moreover, the power displayed by the giant beast, which far surpassed them, made the three native Manifestation Realm experts on Earth extremely worried.
Peak of the Manifestation Realm!
This kind of strength that far exceeded them, was it a friend or an enemy?
Besides it, were there any other similar creatures hidden on Earth?
At the same time, in the rarely visited Antarctic glacier, a pair of deep tiger-like eyes quietly opened from the white ridge and looked at the old turtle swinging in mid-air. The owner of the eyes murmured to himself:
"I wonder who jumped out at this time, turns out it's the old turtle from the Tongtian Dao Men?!"
"I didn't expect it, it actually survived and its strength has even recovered to the peak of the Manifested Saint Realm!"
"What great luck! How many precious treasures did it have to devour in order to restore its strength to this level within a few months of spiritual energy recovery?"
The tone of the giant tiger carried a hint of bitterness and envy.
It had been dormant in the Antarctic glacier for thousands of years. After the recovery of spiritual energy, it took the opportunity to occupy the convergence of the earth's veins in this place, absorbing several times more spiritual energy than the outside world every day to restore itself.
However, until now, it has only recovered to the mid-stage of the Fetal Breath Realm.
To reach the peak of the Manifested Saint Realm, which the turtle currently possesses, it would take at least three to five years.
And to restore its strength to the peak of the Divine Connection Realm from back then, it would take several decades or even longer!
After all, what it needs to recover is not only its strength, but also the various injuries and soul cracks accumulated over nearly ten thousand years.
That's why it finds it even more unbelievable.
The old turtle's strength back then was far below its own, and every time they met, the old turtle would hide its head in its own turtle shell and dare not show itself.
And now, what kind of incredible opportunity has this old turtle encountered to not only recover from the various injuries of the Dharma-ending era in such a short time, but also restore its strength to the peak of the Manifested Saint Realm?
"This old turtle has really made a good plan!"
The giant tiger looked up and gazed at the ungraceful figure of the turtle hanging in the void, not feeling ridiculous or embarrassed, but rather envious and jealous as it sighed:
"Unfortunately, my own strength is insufficient, otherwise, how could such a good opportunity fall into the hands of this old turtle?"
"Alas, it's all about timing, luck, and fate!"
"Since I don't have such good luck, I might as well stay here honestly and recover slowly!"
"In just thirty or forty years, it's just a nap, no rush!"
"Even if this old turtle takes a step ahead, so what? Without entering the realm of the True Saint, all are ants, none can transcend!"
After saying these words, the giant tiger closed its eyes again and stopped watching.
However, in the instant it closed its eyes and calmed down, the turtle hanging in the void couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Antarctic.
[This aura seems to be from the powerful tiger of the Dragon and Tiger Dao... I didn't expect it to survive as well!]
[It seems that it must have been hiding in the glaciers of the extreme south and has been dormant until now!]
[However, this time it can endure and not jump out to compete with me for opportunities, it must mean that its strength has not yet fully recovered!]
"Hmph, this is one step ahead, step by step ahead!"
"Who made it have bad luck and not encounter such a generous and extremely good host like the master!"
"After I break through this realm and restore my peak state, I must go to the extreme southern region and have a good exchange with this powerful tiger. Let's see if it dares to bully me again in the future!"
Although the turtle cannot speak, the words in its heart have not been interrupted.
Liu Zimo stood below, capturing every word of the old turtle's inner thoughts, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
"A powerful tiger?"
"Another ancient spirit beast?"
"The extreme southern region mentioned by the old turtle should be around the Antarctic, right? If there's time, I can go take a look!"
"The opportunities and benefits brought by cultivating an ancient spirit beast can surpass those of more than ten 'good brothers' of the Red Lock Shadow!"
Liu Zimo silently noted this information in his heart.
Although he didn't know why, despite being thousands of kilometers apart, the turtle could sense the aura of the other party in the Antarctic region.
However, this didn't prevent him from wanting to bind the powerful tiger as his spirit beast or simply decide to use it for himself.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a shocking beast roar came from the teleportation channel in the void, shaking the turtle, who was biting the entrance of the channel, causing its body to tremble and its mouth to split open, blood gushing out!
It's here!
Except for Liu Zimo, all the humans on Earth were startled.
For this extremely sharp and domineering roar full of killing intent, they had heard it more than once and were very familiar with it.
Every time a calamity struck, there would be this roar from the teleportation channel in the void, enough to intimidate the entire Earth.
Then, there would be a continuous stream of extraterrestrial monsters descending from the exit of the teleportation channel.
And those monsters that had already descended and stayed on Earth would go crazy, continuously attacking the cities closest to them!
Now, it's here again!
However, this time, most of its voice was blocked by the giant turtle suspended in mid-air, and it was no longer as intimidating and piercing as the previous two times.
Swish!
A flash of light appeared in the turtle's mouth, and then its entire cheek wall began to emit a bright iron-red light from the inside out.
The channel is open, the monsters are coming!
However, up until this moment, the turtle, despite its longevity, showed no signs of loosening its grip.
Just when everyone thought that this giant turtle really wanted to open its mouth and swallow all the approaching monsters.
Liu Zimo suddenly realized, belatedly, what this giant turtle was trying to do!
The red flame and light emitted from the turtle's mouth were not some kind of monster or special attack.
It was clearly the moment when the teleportation channel opened, gathering together and then suddenly bursting with a dense spiritual energy after extreme compression!
"This audacious old turtle actually wants to monopolize the moment the teleportation channel opens and directly absorb the massive spiritual energy surging into the Earth from the channel!"
"It's not afraid of bursting itself!"
Liu Zimo looked at this turtle that wanted to court death speechlessly.
But the violent energy pouring in from the higher-level planes, like raw liquor!
Every time a calamity erupted, this energy would flow into the Earth through the teleportation channel and scatter all over, creating a new baptism of spiritual energy, nourishing and strengthening all living beings on Earth!
And now, the turtle, despite its longevity, actually wanted to swallow all the spiritual energy with its turtle power!
Truly audacious and extremely greedy!
Does it really not fear being burst and dying on the spot?
At this moment.
Liu Zimo finally understood why the turtle, despite its longevity, was so confident earlier, saying that it would definitely break through and reach the state of godhood, and definitely be able to restore itself to its peak state.
It was completely gambling with its own life!
Boom!
In just the blink of an eye, the sound of explosion resounded again.
It was the turtle's mouth that couldn't withstand the violent spiritual energy assault, its lower lips, chin, and even half of its neck were all blown to pieces.
But even so, it still persisted, using the upper half of its mouth, hanging on to the entrance of the teleportation channel, continuing to greedily suck in the massive spiritual energy surging out from the entrance of the channel, regardless of its life.
At the same time, its body swelled again, and its cultivation aura skyrocketed like a rocket.
In just three short seconds, the aura on the old turtle's body changed, instantly stepping into the realm of godhood!
At the same time, Liu Zimo's martial aura also surged instantly, and there was a corresponding sound of prompts in his ears:
[Your spirit pet, the turtle despite its longevity, has refined a 'high-level spiritual energy source', with a stable foundation, soaring vitality!
Triggered the 'Steal the Heavens' innate talent, sharing half of the vitality increase, martial foundation +10, vitality +500,000.]
【...】
【Your spiritual pet, the turtle, has encountered a fortuitous opportunity, and its strength has greatly increased. Its cultivation has returned to the initial stage of the Divine Connection Realm!】
【The talent attribute 'Heaven Thief' has been triggered, and half of the cultivation increase has been shared. Martial cultivation +300, spiritual power +100, soul strength +100.】
Swish!
Liu Zimo's mind trembled, filled with joy.
A hundred and thirty years of martial cultivation, a hundred years of spiritual power cultivation, and an increase in soul strength!
This is definitely the biggest opportunity and benefit that Liu Zimo has gained since awakening his "Heaven Thief" ability!
Awesome!
The feeling of rapid growth in cultivation strength and the expansion of spiritual knowledge sea is simply amazing!
At this moment, Liu Zimo suddenly felt that the risk he took with the turtle was totally worth it!
Worthy of praise!
At the same time, Liu Zimo made a decision in his heart.
As long as the turtle can hold on and not die, even if it's just one breath left, he will use the "Yin Yang Rebirth Pill" to bring it back from the brink of death!
After all, there are not many employees who are willing to risk their lives to make more money for their boss. He absolutely cannot let anything happen to it.
While rapidly assimilating the gains from the opportunity, Liu Zimo closely watched the turtle's every move in the void, ready to intervene and save it at any moment!
And at this moment...
Because it successfully broke through to the Divine Connection Realm, the turtle's shattered chin and neck were instantly restored!
The old turtle's face lit up, without hesitation, it continued to open its mouth wide and firmly bite the exit of the teleportation channel, greedily devouring the massive amount of violent spiritual energy pouring out from it!
Boom! Boom!
This time, the cultivation of the old turtle, which had already returned to the Divine Connection Realm, did not have its mouth and neck shattered again.
However, Liu Zimo noticed that blood was constantly seeping out from the corners of the turtle's mouth, and its internal organs seemed to have suffered great damage!
The impact and injuries it suffered this time were several times more severe than before!
This is because ancient spirit beasts have extremely tough and robust bodies, and the turtle clan is particularly skilled in defense, with thick blood and high resistance, which allows them to withstand such impacts without dying.
Otherwise, if it were any human martial artist of the same realm, with their internal organs damaged to this extent, they would have long since died and ceased to exist!
