A quarter of an hour later.
Mo Chen arrived before a towering iceberg.
The white mist from the Treasure-Seeking Compass pointed straight into the depths of the iceberg, revealing the location of the Black Tortoise fortune.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Chen swung the long blade in his hand. The blade light arced like a rainbow, and the iceberg shattered at the strike.
Whoosh!
The scene before him abruptly changed. The iceberg and glaciers vanished without a trace, replaced by a storm-tossed sea.
Upon the sea floated a massive turtle shell, atop which stood an ancient altar.
At the center of the altar, a deep-blue crystal emitted a faint glow. It was precisely where the Black Tortoise fortune lay.
"Found it!" A flicker of delight flashed through Mo Chen's eyes. With a flash of his figure, he leaped onto the turtle shell.

The ice and snow around the altar suddenly trembled. The sea churned as a gigantic ice-blue turtle shot skyward from the water.
Ancient runes covered the giant turtle's shell, and the power of ice swirled around its body, its aura overwhelmingly oppressive.
"Human, you dare trespass here? You're courting death!"
The giant turtle's voice boomed like thunder, its roar making Mo Chen's eardrums tremble.
"Damn it! There's another one?"

These giant turtles were simply endless!
With a helpless sigh, the Primordial Purple Qi and Vermilion Bird fortune within him erupted at once, and his aura surged sharply.
"Little turtle, I'm here to save you. Wake up already!"
Before his words had even faded, Mo Chen ignored the giant turtle and fiercely swung the Emperor's Fall blade in his hand. The blade qi blazed like a rainbow
