Turtle and serpent in one body
The sea was perfectly calm, with only a few ripples appearing when Qingfeng blew.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle walked on the sea surface without even submerging into the water.
It moved forward cautiously, taking each step with great care.
Gu Yuanqing also felt a sense of tension.
Everything that happened before showed how powerful the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle was, yet even such a powerful creature became cautious, indicating that the things in the sea are extremely terrifying!
With two such terrifying monsters locked in battle, Gu Yuanqing had no idea whether the Island protected on its back would remain unscathed.
It is uncertain whether the destruction of the Island would affect North Spring Mountain.
North Spring Mountain's power is immense; Gu Yuanqing can make North Spring Mountain disappear into the Void. But even so, Gu Yuanqing has no idea how he will fare against an existence of this level.
Xiao Yunqi's face darkened; he hadn't expected to encounter such a being in the Cultivation World.
He hadn't anticipated that the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle could break through two levels in such a short time. The most crucial point was that he didn't have the authority to control the eighth level. He could reach the ninth level and control the Formation below the seventh level by relying on the Yunmeng Treasure Seal and the Holy Son Mark on his body, but the eighth and ninth levels could only be controlled by the Holy Lord Token of the Yunmeng Holy Land.
Moreover, the reason he was able to activate the first two layers of the Formation so quickly was because he used the Dao Principle Imprint in his Divine Soul; otherwise, with his true cultivation level, he would have had no chance of controlling Law Treasure of this level.
"The eighth level is the most dangerous place in the Mystic Tortoise Treasure Tower. Judging from the turtle's expression, it may not be able to break through this level."
Although he thought this way, he was still uncertain. He only dared to hide in the ninth floor and did not dare to show himself. He even said that he was always ready to use his last resort.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle continued its journey until suddenly it stopped. The next second, the entire sea parted, and a giant beast rose from the sea.
"A tortoise and a snake in one body, this is... Black Tortoise?" Gu Yuanqing's eyes widened.
As one of the Four Sacred Beasts, Black Tortoise's appearance is easily recognizable.
With his strength, he couldn't distinguish whether it was a real Black Tortoise, Strange Beast with Black Tortoise bloodline, or a Dharma Body condensed by Formation.
However, there is no doubt that the behemoth in front of them, which spans hundreds of miles, is even larger than the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle at this moment.
The size of a body does not necessarily indicate its strength, but judging from the cautious demeanor of the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, this Divine Beast that has appeared is no ordinary creature!
Under the icy gaze, Gu Yuanqing Divine Soul incredibly suppressed, and dared not even look directly at him.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle raised its head and roared, then moved all four legs together and quickly ascended.
This was the first time Gu Yuanqing had heard its voice, deep and resonant, and the first time he had seen it move so fast, as if it had used all its strength, causing the entire Island to shake and tremble.
The two colossal creatures instantly clashed, each movement creating towering waves on the sea.
Every touch was accompanied by cracks in space.
Such a massive body moved so fast that Gu Yuanqing's Divine Sense couldn't even keep up, making it impossible for him to see the battle clearly.
The birds and beasts on the Island trembled with fear, and some mountain peaks collapsed amidst the violent tremors.
Clearly, the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle was too preoccupied with this at the moment.
Fortunately, it did not affect the Within North Spring Mountain.
The battle lasted for an hour. When Gu Yuanqing could see the outside scene clearly again, he saw the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle tearing apart the Black Tortoise's body.
Only then did Gu Yuanqing realize that the Black Tortoise he had just heard was merely an illusion. He saw two large Inner Core, one black and one white, intertwined, rotating, and floating in the air.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, already covered in wounds, opened its mouth and swallowed the two Inner Core.
Gu Yuanqing could sense the excitement in its eyes; clearly, this was its true purpose!
After the Mountain Bearing Black Tortoise swallowed the pill, the entire space became unstable.
Just then, a furious roar rang out.
"You beast, how dare you!"
Gu Yuanqing looked up and saw a crack appear in the sky above this realm. A fair hand reached out and quickly grew larger, pressing down on the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle raised its head, and its body suddenly grew larger, returning to its original length of two thousand miles. Then, its body flashed with blue light, and it grew even larger. It stretched out its head and opened its mouth to bite the attacking palm.
Its speed is so great that it is difficult to catch a glimpse of it.
Click!
The hand that reached out was bitten off!
A muffled groan came from the other side of the Space Rift, and the Space Rift in the sky quickly closed and disappeared.
The severed hand then turned into a wisp of mist, disappearing into the Void and vanishing without a trace.
At that moment, the entire world began to shake violently.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle slammed forward violently, creating a Space Rift, and then its massive body disappeared into it.
Gu Yuanqing felt his vision shift, and when it cleared again, he found himself outside the tall tower.
The Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle traveled outwards at an even faster speed than before, and in a short while it was outside the Yunmeng Ancient Marsh, once again arriving in the sea, and quickly sailing away.
Gu Yuanqing looked back and saw that the vast continent had become illusory.
Suddenly, a large Flying Boat flew out from it and, without stopping for a moment, rode its light in another direction.
"The person I just encountered should be on this Flying Boat!"
Gu Yuanqing gazed into the distance, his brows slightly furrowed.
"This feud seems to have gotten a bit too big!"
The other party could easily associate him with the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle, one having seized the Dao Mechanism to achieving Yin-Yang, and the other having forced his way into the tower and swallowed two Inner Core cores that could transform into Black Tortoise.
These two are mortal enemies!
Gu Yuanqing was not afraid of the people he encountered in the Star Realm. Even though he had retreated earlier due to his fear of the power of the Dao Principle Imprint, he was confident that his cultivation would soon break through, leaving them far behind.
But the person who finally World-Breaking was clearly no ordinary expert.
"The Yunmeng Holy Land? It seems I need to find an opportunity to inquire about it. The Cultivation World is vast, but it's not impossible that we might run into each other again someday! Since we've become enemies, then..." A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuanqing's eyes. When he saw that he couldn't resolve the feud, he naturally had murderous intent. However, facing the power at the Dao Law Principle level, and being on someone else's home turf, he had no confidence whatsoever and had no choice but to retreat.
The Mountain Bearing Black Tortoise traveled a long way, and everything on the island returned to peace.
"I inexplicably gained an enemy, but the only good thing is that this battle was thrilling but ultimately harmless, and I even gained something, which will at least significantly shorten the time it takes for me to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm!"
Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back. In the end, cultivation and strength are the most important things. His cultivation is not as good as this Black Tortoise, so he can only passively follow it on its adventures. If one day his strength surpasses that of the Xuan Turtle, then this turtle will be like a mount that can carry North Spring Mountain around!
"Alright, everything should be fine now. Everyone can just act as usual!" Gu Yuanqing's voice reached out to Li Shi'an and the others.
The group of Cultivator breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then came a flurry of discussion. The thrill had passed, and everyone felt that the scene they had just witnessed was extremely exciting. Their conversations were filled with excitement.
Li Chengyi, Li Shi'an, and others then used their movement techniques to head towards Gu Yuanqing's mountain peak, intending to inquire about the specific situation.
