"It's here."

Chen Feng's mind stirred.

He knew this was the favor Wang Yao wanted him to do. Although Wang Yao could have destroyed it by force, the lotus would probably be ruined as well, right?

"I'll do it."

Chen Feng said softly.

Wang Yao had saved his life yesterday, and he had come today to repay that favor, nothing more. Once this was done, he and Wang Yao would be even. As for Wang Yue?

Heh heh heh heh.

"Buzz—"

Flowing Light flickered in his hand as Chen Feng prepared to lift the Restriction.

"Wait."

Wang Yao grabbed him.

"Hm?"

Chen Feng was somewhat puzzled.

Wang Yao shook her head slightly and stepped forward herself, raising her right hand toward the White Lotus.

"Boom!"

Terrifying power erupted in an instant.

Chen Feng's mouth fell slightly open.

Holy shit, was she going to destroy this thing outright? Why didn't this little girl play by the rules?

However.

At that moment, a deep roar came from within the Cold Pool. A terrifying force burst forth from the water and actually shattered Wang Yao's attack!

"Gurgle!"

The Cold Pool churned, its surface shaking.

Danger!

Chen Feng's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly retreated.

"Boom!"

The spring water suddenly exploded.

An enormous creature emerged from the Cold Pool. It was ten meters in diameter, and its body alone occupied fully half of the Cold Pool!

"Hiss—"

Chen Feng sucked in a cold breath. It was actually a Giant Turtle.

The Giant Turtle was massive. Its Turtle Shell shimmered with brilliant Flowing Light, an astonishing sight. Its green skin was covered in layer upon layer of wrinkles, so thick it was beyond imagination. Beneath its head, something seemed to hang from its neck—a rusted nameplate, upon which the words "Du Ma" could vaguely be seen.

"Roar!"

The Giant Turtle let out an enraged roar, its dull voice like the heavens collapsing, bringing terrifying pressure. The exploding spring water froze in midair, transforming into sharp ice arrows that shot toward Chen Feng and the others!

"Hmph!"

Wang Yao sneered.

"Boom!"

She slashed with her sword.

A crimson shockwave flashed past, and every ice arrow evaporated in midair.

"Humans..."

"You dare covet something I have waited a hundred years for?"

The Giant Turtle spoke, its tiny pitch-black eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

Chen Feng's heart trembled when he heard this. This Giant Turtle could actually speak? What level of monster was it?

"Heavenly treasures belong to nature in the first place. Since when did they become yours?"

Wang Yao sneered. "Hand it over, and I'll spare your life."

"You're courting death!"

The Giant Turtle roared.

"Boom!"

A storm swept forth.

Terrifying power erupted once more.

Wang Yao did not care in the slightest. The crimson greatsword in her hand flashed, forcibly suppressing the Giant Turtle where it stood. "Chen Feng, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Understood."

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

He knew that now was the time for him to act.

"Buzz—"

He took a step forward.

Mist drifted before Chen Feng's eyes.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Chen Feng entered the Multi-dimensional State.

At a moment like this, Chen Feng did not dare delay for even a second. Yet this time, there were a full two thousand restrictions he needed to search for, far more than all the previous ones combined! Fortunately, Chen Feng's spiritual power had improved. Otherwise, he would not even have been able to sustain the normal operation of the Multi-dimensional World!

Luck Aura, activate!

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

"Boom!"

The Luck Value within him plummeted wildly.

1 point, 2 points, 3 points...

Chen Feng could find hundreds of missing genes in an instant, but there were simply too many genes to locate this time. He could only proceed step by step.

One second, two seconds...

Time ticked by.

"How could a little brat like him possibly undo the Cold Pool's restriction?"

The Giant Turtle's eyes were full of disdain.

Time had weathered it, and over the years, it had seen far too many so-called geniuses. For a mere Beginner Producer to try to remove the Cold Pool's restriction was simply too naive.

"How would we know without trying?"

Wang Yao remained as calm as water.

"If you forcibly break the restriction, be careful of its backlash."

The Giant Turtle threatened in a deep, muffled voice.

Yet at that very moment, a strange soft sound rang out. The Giant Turtle turned back, only to discover in shock that the Cold Pool's restriction had actually been removed.

It had only been a few seconds? Five seconds, or six?

"???"

The Giant Turtle was a little dumbfounded. It had slept for a hundred years—were Beginner Producers in this era all this powerful now?

"Buzz—"

The surrounding mist naturally dispersed.

"How is that possible?!"

The Giant Turtle finally came back to its senses, its face filled with terror.

It had lived a long life and seen quite a few Gene Producers, but it had never seen anyone lift a restriction so quickly—especially not a Beginner Producer.

"Oh no."

The Giant Turtle suddenly realized that the restriction had been removed, which meant the lotus...

It was currently being held back by Wang Yao, while the lotus was about to fall into Chen Feng's hands. Anxiety instantly gripped its heart.

That thing!

For that thing...

It had waited a full hundred years!

How could a hundred years of waiting allow them to take it away so easily? Just as it was panicking, Wang Yao's method of suppressing it unexpectedly revealed a slight flaw! It gave it a brief opening, and for powerful beings like them, even the tiniest opening was enough!

Now!

"Roar!"

The Giant Turtle let out a roar.

"Boom!"

The void trembled.

It spat out a Purple-black sphere of light. The sphere floated in the air, flashing with a faint purple radiance. In an instant, the purple light swept over everyone, radiating indiscriminately from the Giant Turtle. Within a hundred-meter radius, everyone—including Wang Yao—was struck!

This was the Giant Turtle's trump card—Life and Death Extreme Realm.

"I'm going to kill—"

The Giant Turtle was smug and was just about to destroy them when it horrifically discovered that the Little Girl had already awakened. It was so frightened that it snatched the White Lotus in its jaws and swiftly fled into the Cold Pool.

It had actually escaped just like that!

"You finally used that move."

A smile appeared on Wang Yao's little face.

A lotus flower?

What did she need that thing for?

She had deliberately exposed a flaw. Her true objective was the Giant Turtle's Life and Death Extreme Realm, a powerful illusion-based attack that required sacrificing a hundred years of lifespan to activate!

"Life and Death Extreme Realm!"

"Rise!"

Wang Yao seized control of the terrifying purple sphere of light.

"Buzz—"

The purple sphere shone brightly, and painful expressions appeared on both Chen Feng's and Wang Yue's faces.

"Purify!"

Wang Yao raised her hand.

Streams of energy blossomed from her hand, turning into red rays that encircled the purple sphere. All the energy released from the purple sphere actually turned transparent!

"It has begun."

Wang Yao's gaze was calm.

This had originally been a powerful attack, but now, using her overwhelming mental strength, she purified the Life and Death Extreme Realm, erasing all negative energy. She let Wang Yue experience the Giant Turtle's century of life and death, pushing past his limits and turning it into a boon for increasing his strength and making breakthroughs!

This was the gift she had prepared for Wang Yue.

As for Chen Feng...

Her gaze swept over Chen Feng. He was an unexpected arrival, an unforeseen variable.

"You shouldn't have appeared here."

"But since you have, it must be fate."

A terrifying light bloomed in Wang Yao's lively eyes, as though they could see through past and present alike. "How much you can comprehend from this Life and Death Extreme Realm trial will depend on yourself!"

"Boom!"

The Red Light in Wang Yao's hand flared brilliantly.

Life and Death Extreme Realm!

Begin!

**

Green Mountain Forest.

Somewhere.

Screams rang out continuously.

Wu Fan, whose features were fairly delicate, lay on the ground struggling without end. His whole body convulsed, his face twisted horrifically, as if he were enduring some kind of torture.

"Did you block the sound?"

Chang Hu sighed.

"Yeah, it's blocked."

Zhang Ling spread her hands. "Honestly, why did we have to let him try this?"

"He insisted on trying it himself."

Chang Hu was equally helpless. "This young master gave the order. Would we have dared refuse? But I didn't expect him to suffer this badly. It's only Gene Enhancement for three points of genetic attributes. I remember when you all raised four points of genetic attributes back then, you didn't react this strongly, did you?"

"His status is different, after all."

Zhang Ling shook her head. "It looks like we should raise his attributes one or two points at a time from now on."

"That's all we can do."

Chang Hu was rather disappointed. "The further Gene Enhancement goes, the harder it is to find Mutated Beasts with suitable attributes. Looks like we'll have to stay in Green Mountain Forest for a few more days."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand isn't so easy to earn."

Zhang Ling smiled.

"True."

Chang Hu spat, greed flashing in his eyes. "If we slaughtered this kid..."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Zhang Ling grabbed him and lowered her voice. "Did you forget how we almost got discovered last time? Even if not many people in Jin City know us, we should do this sort of thing less often. Besides, the Wu Family isn't simple either. Be careful not to kick an iron plate."

"I know."

Chang Hu felt somewhat regretful. That would have been pure profit!

Just then—

"Ahhhhhh—"

The Gene Enhancement seemed to have reached its final stage. Wu Fan's screams grew even more intense, and the others all frowned as they covered their ears. Fortunately, they had prepared soundproofing measures in advance, keeping the noise within a three-meter radius. Otherwise, with the racket Wu Fan was making, they would all have died here.

Only after Wu Fan had gradually finished enhancing did Chang Hu rise to his feet.

"Give him a recovery agent."

"Remember, one bottle sells for ten thousand. Bleed him dry!"

Chang Hu said viciously. "Once he's recovered, we set off."

"Alright."

Zhang Ling nodded.

PS: This was the identity I arranged for Du Ma back when I was writing my previous book. He said he only lived for one chapter—not long enough. So after pondering hard all night... I gave him an identity that would definitely live a long time~

See!

I still love you all!
