The Last One Standing Is King

Xuan Tian was dumbfounded. This island, or rather this tortoise, had sent away the ancestors of his Xuan Turtle Clan. What era was this ancient tortoise from?

Jin Yu into his true form, preparing to soar ninety thousand miles into the sky and flee. The main reason was that it was too terrifying; an island comparable to a vast landmass was actually a living tortoise.

Zhuo Yanran was lost in thought. She had once swum to this island with her best friends and celebrated here after catching rare and exotic fish. But now, the land beneath her feet was actually a living thing.

Such a magnificent tortoise, having lived for so long, is most likely a seasoned superhuman!

Wang Xuan's robes fluttered, and the First Killing Array Diagram slightly revived, ready to soar into the sky at any moment.

"Even the look in their eyes is the same. Your great-great-grandfather... looked at me like that back then." In the sky, the enormous tortoise head spoke, its voice booming. Huge rocks rolled down from its head and eyelids, crashing into the sea and creating towering waves.

Xuan Tian is dizzy with excitement. How many eras has this living fossil witnessed?

He was both shocked and saddened. The Xuan Turtle Clan had a small population, and all those who had died were their direct ancestors, all of whom were famous "turtles" in the world, but they had all been sent away by the Stone Turtle in front of him.

"Time, genius, are the least valuable things, always repeating themselves, one generation after another, one generation after another coming and going, sprouting and withering, vibrant and decaying." The giant Stone Turtle spoke, its voice booming like thunder.

It had no dangerous aura; its vast landmass body was very stable, only its majestic head, as imposing as a mountain, was moving.

The people on the island felt somewhat relieved and did not fly away.

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. As far as he knew, the Mysterious Sea, the Sea of Origin, and the like would also move with the Supernatural Center, and at that time the sea would turn red. Could this Old Turtle have existed for several centuries?

He sighed inwardly, "The peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."

In the past century, on this very day in the sea, the turtle's face reflected the waves. The ancestors of the Xuan clan are nowhere to be found, but the land turtle still stands tall in the vast ocean.

The magnificent Stone Turtle said, "Also, the golden bird family, your ancestors came here many times back then. They were all restless creatures, always liking to stand on my head to show off how high they could fly. The worst part was that some birds even pooped on my head!"

"My... ancestors!" Jin Yu felt dizzy. What era were those ancestors from? What did they do? Would they blame him, their descendant?

"If I hadn't fallen asleep, I would have smashed that bird's head into a dog's head!" The Old Turtle spoke slowly but loudly, with a kind of domineering and vast aura that seemed to swallow the Mysterious Sea.

Zhuo Yanran secretly rejoiced that her ancestors hadn't had so many scandals, so her shortcomings wouldn't be exposed.

However, the next moment, their lineage was also exposed. The Stone Turtle said, "Among your ancestors, some cried so much that the ruined palace of the True Saint collapsed for eight hundred miles, some cried so much that the Desert of Death was flooded like the sea, and some cried so much that blood and tears flowed to the ends of the era..."

Is this... a genuine cry, or is it a bit scary?

"Your clan is generally honest and simple-minded, likes ascetic training, and has no bad points," the Stone Turtle commented on Lu Wufa's clan.

"Senior, are you the long-lost ancestor of our Xuan Turtle clan?" Xuan Tian asked, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

The clan's First Ancestor has been missing for two or three centuries. He left back then and never returned. It is truly remarkable that the Xuan Turtle clan has come this far. Fortunately, another extraordinary person emerged later.

Otherwise, it would never have been able to move with the Supernatural Center; it would have been left behind in the abandoned center of the old universe long ago, destined to return to the ordinary after the myth decayed.

"No, just a distant relative." The Old Turtle turned its head, its huge head that reached into the sky was petrified, covered with soil and grass. It pondered, "It is a Xuan Turtle, with an astonishing bloodline. I am just an ordinary tortoise. Although we were born in the same era, I am far behind it in terms of cultivation level."

The Old Turtle did not shy away from the fact that its bloodline was poor and its talent was average. It relied entirely on enduring the years to gradually become stronger, proving the saying that only the survivors are king.

"Then do you know where my ancestor went, or if he is still alive?" Xuan Tian asked further, full of hope. Back then, the Turtle Ancestor was truly incomparably powerful, infinitely close to the True Saint Domain!

In that era, even looking at the entire Great Universe, the Xuan Turtle Clan was a super overlord.

"It's been missing for so long, it's probably dead," the Stone Turtle calmly stated, already accustomed to matters of life and death.

Because it had seen too much, it had witnessed the tragic death of the most gifted beings in the Universe Sea of Stars, the sudden collapse of the unrivaled overlord among the extraordinary beings, and even the mysterious explosion of the True Saint Palace stained with blood from afar.

"Dead?!" Xuan Tian was stunned. His clan had always held onto the hope that one day the First Ancestor of the Xuan Turtle would reappear and return.

Now, this mysterious Old Turtle, an existence that has lived for more than a century, calmly tells him that the person is dead, causing him to sigh.

"Back then, he went to try to break through to the True Saint realm, but that realm was too ethereal and too difficult to cross. He hasn't appeared for so many years, and the Supernatural Center World has moved two or three times. He stayed in the old world and couldn't have succeeded. He must have died on the day he failed to break through, so he couldn't keep up with the Supernatural Center's relocation and we'll never see him again," the Old Turtle said.

Although he had suspected it, Xuan Tian was still somewhat disappointed.

Wang Xuan was moved. The True Saint Domain seemed to be far more difficult than he had imagined. The First Ancestor of the Xuan Turtle Clan was already extremely powerful, but he still died on the way to a higher level.

"Senior, what level have you reached in your cultivation?" Zhuo Yanran couldn't help but ask. Could this be a Turtle Saint?

After all, it has lived for so long, at least several centuries. There are not many creatures older than it, which is astonishing!

"I'm just an extraordinary person, someone who has worked my way up through sheer hardship," the Old Turtle told him directly, without hiding anything.

It's not surprising that it claims to be an alien, mainly because the island is so vast and boundless.

The Stone Turtle then added, "This island is my original body, but I abandoned it when I transformed back then. Only a wisp of my remnant remains attached to it. Fellow Daoists from all sides have been kind to the Old Turtle and no one has destroyed it."

These words surprised everyone on the island. The island was no longer his main body.

"Alas, after I abandoned this cumbersome body back then, my new body had some problems. Later, I encountered the great calamity at the end of the era and was seriously injured. I don't even know where he is now. I hope he is doing well."

This is its old shell, no wonder it's covered in soil and rocks and overgrown with grass. It has been lying across the Mysterious Sea for years, and it's not a real alien being here.

"Young friend, you look familiar." The Old Turtle turned around, its empty eyes looking at Wang Xuan, finally fixing its gaze on him.

Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine; he had a feeling that the Old Turtle was probably mainly looking for him.

During this process, meteorite-like stones fell from the Stone Turtle and crashed into the sea, creating a thick fog that shrouded the area.

"Don't worry, no one outside can see us," the Old Turtle said, staring at Wang Xuan. This place was completely isolated from the outside world.

Wang Xuan had kept quiet, not wanting to attract its attention, but unexpectedly, he ended up being the one it focused its attention on.

It smiled and said, "Actually, the reason why my abandoned body and that wisp of remnant will have been revived today is because of you. Although our appearances are different and our temperaments are completely different, I just have a feeling that you are very similar to someone. I can't explain why, but to be precise, there is a certain life force in your bones that is similar."

Wang Xuan felt uneasy; the Old Turtle's target was indeed him.

However, he was certain that he had nothing to do with it.

"I didn't know you before," Wang Xuan said.

The Stone Turtle said, "About two centuries ago, there was a man who fought a great battle in the starry sky and then fought a bloody battle in the Mysterious Sea. In that battle, he was hunted and was seriously injured. In the end, he poked a hole in my Old Turtle and hid in it. It Old Turtle I who helped him cover up the last trace and get away with it."

Wang Xuan's heart stirred with emotion. He naturally thought of someone: could it be his elder brother, Wang Yusheng, whom he had never met?

The Old Turtle continued, "Back then, all the experts from the Tattoo Palace came out, and they even joined forces with some top-tier sects to hunt down this mysterious person. It was truly earth-shattering."

When Wang Xuan heard the words "Tattoo Palace," his heart sank. This was also the great enemy he would face in the future. His brother, whom he had never met, was besieged and had fought bloody battles in various parts of the Star Sea.

"That day, he was holding a Paper Cutting Knife, it was so sharp, it cut right into my head. After I covered up the opening for him, he said that he owed me a favor and would repay it handsomely. So many years have passed, I wonder if he has found my new body and repaid me by helping to heal the injury to the foundation of his Great Dao. Hmm, he finally told me that his real name Wang Yusheng, but he doesn't use it much."

The Paper Cutting Knife was mentioned by Wang Xuan's parents back in the Mother Universe. It was a relic of the Old Saint, which was obtained by his elder brother. This blade is indestructible.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan remained outwardly calm, but his heart was in turmoil. This was the first time he had heard news of his elder brother in the Supernatural Central Great World. His name and deeds were extraordinary, shaking the starry sea and stained with blood. Many years had passed, and he wondered what had become of him.

Clearly, that battle did not take place in this universe, but rather in the center of the old universe. After so many years, where did he go?

Wang Xuan felt heavy-hearted, worried about his elder brother.

"Senior, I don't know Wang Yusheng. What is his situation? What kind of person is he?" he asked, not wanting to reveal his own background, since he had never truly understood the Old Turtle.

"You didn't say anything, but you tried to trick me into saying anything." The Old Turtle looked him over and said, "Whether you admit it or not, I think you and he share similar life experiences deep down."

It thought for a moment and said, "Are you his reincarnation, or is your descendant Ancestor Return its original form? Don't tell me you have the same parents. If that's the case, then pretend I didn't say anything. This Old Turtle is a little scared!"

Wang Xuan was speechless. This Old Turtle really had a wild imagination. It dared to connect people separated by more than a century to the fact that they had the same parents. It was probably only creatures with such a slow pace of life, who had endured countless years, that could have such tortoise-like thinking.

"Back then, when we parted, Wang Yusheng said something to me. Well, if you have nothing to do with him, then forget about it, there's no need to say it," the Old Turtle casually remarked.
