Mystery of the Black Tortoise

Everyone thought they had misheard.

What kind of island would crash into them? Usually, they were the ones crashing into islands.

But Hai Xiaosheng could not possibly be joking at a time like this.

Then, they truly saw a massive island rapidly approaching them.

The island was moving incredibly fast. Hai Xiaosheng's use of the word "crash" was perfectly fitting.

"Prepare for impact!" Hai Xiaosheng warned.

The island was coming too quickly. Even if the Hurricane took off, it would still need time.

The situation before them clearly left the Hurricane with no time to take flight.

"Don't worry. My astral realm can withstand a devastating impact. It's an astral-realm defensive barrier used to protect the Rule Realm. It can handle a collision of this magnitude," Hai Xiaosheng said confidently.

Even if the defensive shield could withstand the island's impact, no one was foolish enough to remain aboard the ship.

Everyone prepared to flee before the collision.

Just as everyone thought the island was about to strike, the entire island suddenly stood up.

Everyone was startled. They had already planned to abandon the ship, only for the island to stand up.

That was right—it stood up.

The island rose upright like a gigantic beast. It possessed enormously massive limbs and a weathered head resembling an ancient dragon's.

Li Ran's lips curled slightly. "Ancient Mystic Turtle, long time no see."

"Ancient Mystic Turtle?"

The people on the ship looked up in shock at the Mystic Turtle's towering body. They could clearly see the mountain-like folds on its belly.

"Heart of Chaos... it really is you." The Ancient Mystic Turtle spoke in a puzzled voice.

"Why are you in the Dark Abyss?" Li Ran asked.

The last time he had seen the Ancient Mystic Turtle had been at the Palace of Ghosts
