"Hm? The old turtle? Venerable Lord, are you saying that the Tribulation Crossing stage being who suddenly appeared was... that Black Tortoise sealed in the Central Continent by someone unknown?"
"If I remember correctly, there wasn't even a trace of spiritual qi within that seal, and so many years have passed. Even an Immortal, without Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to replenish their strength, would likely be unable to withstand the erosion of time, wouldn't they?"
"Not to mention, even the Lord of Heavenly Demons from the last War of Dao and Demons was unable to damage the seal trapping him..."
Tantai Zhi was clearly no stranger to the existence of the Black Tortoise.
However, hearing that the other party was still alive—and was the very Tribulation Crossing stage being who had attacked her not long ago—left her utterly shocked.
Long-sealed memories stirred, and she immediately began recalling information related to the Black Tortoise.
Then she voiced her amazement. Yet when she mentioned the former Lord of Heavenly Demons, she suddenly shuddered, her voice cutting off abruptly as she uneasily glanced at her companion beside her.
The former Lord of Heavenly Demons had long since been slain by cultivators of the Cultivation World.
The current leader of the Devil Race was none other than the Demon Venerable She Sheng before her.
The latter remained expressionless, without the slightest ripple in his demeanor.
"That seal was indeed formidable. It could not be easily destroyed by external force!"
"However, not long ago, the Nine Provinces of Azure Star merged into one. The upheaval of the Nine Provinces was the natural might of the entire star itself. Even an Immortal's methods could hardly guarantee that nothing would go wrong before such natural power."
"That old turtle must have escaped at precisely that time."
