Terrifying ripples spread through the North Sea with Shen Fei at their center. The first Mysterious Turtle Particle he had opened began to grow without stop, roaring and howling at heaven and earth.
His remaining half-grown body continued to shrink. Boundless, terrifying vital energy compressed and compressed, all of it pouring into that Mysterious Turtle Particle.
It kept growing, growing.
As Shen Fei's true body shrank, the Mysterious Turtle Particle above his head began to expand.
In an instant, it was as though another Primordial Giant Turtle capable of anchoring the North Sea had appeared above its waters. This newly born Primordial Giant Turtle was no different from Shen Fei's original form.
To contain the power of a Primordial Giant Turtle within a single particle—such was the terror of the Divine Turtle Sea Suppressing Strength. Nor had his other Mysterious Turtle Particles regressed. In other words—
Shen Fei's strength had increased by nearly double. Countless waves trembled under the aura erupting from him. Innumerable creatures living in the sea were knocked unconscious by that terrifying pressure, while some were even shaken to death.
"Roar!"
With a boom that shook heaven and earth, Shen Fei's entire body began to emit a dazzling blue radiance. Countless Dao Scripts emerged across his enormous frame, reflecting one another as he evolved toward an Innate Dao Body.
An utterly terrifying power burst forth.
The next moment, countless streaks of Silver Snake Lightning erupted across the firmament. Dark clouds blanketed the sky, and the surroundings seemed on the verge of destruction. Countless living beings wished they could grow several more pairs of wings and flee this region!
"A Shaping Tribulation?"
Shen Fei looked up. Hongjun had only just become a Saint, and had not even begun preaching the Dao. In other words, the Heavenly Dao was still incomplete and had yet to establish tribulations for cultivation realms.
There were only shaping tribulations.
And they were extremely weak. Moreover, the greater one's Origin, the deeper one's connection to Primordial Heaven and Earth. Unless they were exceptional Innate Supreme Treasures that defied heaven itself, shaping tribulations generally would not be too excessive.
But the Primordial Giant Turtle carried the mandate of fate and was inherently unable to transform. If it transformed, it would, in a sense, be defying its destined fate. Its Thunder Tribulation would be far more terrifying than that of Innate Beings with the same Origin.
The Thunder Tribulation continued brewing in the sky. Rolling thunderclouds churned wildly, shrouding the surrounding void, while their terrifying aura even stirred the North Sea into towering waves.
Many great powers within the North Sea sensed that incomparably terrifying Thunder Tribulation aura. Could it be that an Innate Spiritual Treasure, or perhaps even an Innate Supreme Treasure, was attempting Tribulation Transcendence?
North Sea Abyss.
Within a vast palace, a Giant Kun of unknown size lurked beneath the water. The Law of Water was branded across his body as he drew the spiritual energy from the waters of the North Sea into himself.
There was also a massive gaping wound in the Kun's tail, from which drops of blood gathered.
"Is that fellow about to transform?!"
Kunpeng spoke with hatred, but also with surprise. That fellow was actually about to transform.
Naturally, he knew the Origin of the Primordial Giant Turtle. It was the first turtle born in the primordial world, its Origin traceable even to the Fierce Beast Tribulation—far more ancient than his own.
Yet being unable to transform had always been that fellow's weak point. After Kunpeng successfully transformed and obtained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, he had once calculated the workings of fate.
He had determined that the Primordial Giant Turtle's inability to transform was its destined fate.
That was why he had dared provoke such an ancient existence. But that old tortoise was actually defying heaven?
"This seems like an opportunity..."
A sharp gleam flickered in Kunpeng's eyes. The old tortoise was defying heaven, and his transformation would be carried out with a body even more formidable than a Grand Unity Dao Body. That would undoubtedly make the tribulation several times harder.
With both factors combined, the old tortoise's tribulation this time would likely be no minor matter.
Even if he passed the Thunder Tribulation, he would certainly suffer a severe loss of vital energy. Kunpeng had already formed karmic ties with him; this was the best opportunity to kill him. If he killed him—
Not only would he settle their karmic ties, he would also obtain the old tortoise's flesh and blood, as well as his shell, whose defensive power was in no way inferior to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
It would be an absolute windfall!
As he considered it further, refusing what heaven offered would invite punishment; failing to act when the time came would bring disaster!
Kunpeng ignored his wounds. Last time, he had not known that the old tortoise had mastered a Speed Technique. Now that he was on guard, his chances were great.
At once, he spread his wings, soared out of the sea, and headed toward Shen Fei.
North Sea Dragon Palace.
The current North Sea Dragon King was listening to a report from the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals. Upon hearing that the disturbance had been caused by the Primordial Giant Turtle, he stroked his dragon whiskers and pondered something.
Seeing the Dragon King's expression, the Turtle Prime Minister could not help asking, "Does Your Majesty intend to make something of this matter?"
"Since the great tribulation, our Dragon Clan has weakened. To compensate for the Karmic Force left behind by the great war, the Dragon Ancestor swore an oath that dragon descendants would forever guard the waters.
"Though this resolved part of our Karmic Force, it still clings to the Dragon Clan at all times. The Witch and Demon Clans humiliate our Dragon Clan without restraint, capturing dragons for food.
"If we can form a good bond with a great power of the North Sea, it may be a good thing!"
"Kunpeng has already set out. This time, the two sides will surely fight again. Does Your Majesty intend to help one side?"
The North Sea Dragon King thought for a moment. "I'll go take a look! See whom I can help!"
The Turtle Prime Minister cautiously reminded him, "Your Majesty, offering help in someone's hour of need is always better than adding flowers to brocade..."
The North Sea Dragon King glanced at the Turtle Prime Minister, transformed into a Golden True Dragon, and flew away.
The Turtle Prime Minister drew in his neck and looked worriedly toward where Shen Fei was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence. Though the Primordial Giant Turtle was the Turtle Ancestor, he had no descendants; he was merely the first turtle.
But the Turtle Prime Minister was a Mystic Turtle, so he and Shen Fei could be considered members of the same Turtle Clan.
He also knew that Shen Fei's Origin was extraordinary. If Shen Fei successfully transformed, their Turtle Clan would gain another great power. That was why he had spoken up just now.
Shen Fei also sensed two powerful auras approaching him. One belonged to his old enemy, Kunpeng.
Knowing that fellow's nature—
There was no need to say it. He would definitely seize this opportunity. As for the other aura, Shen Fei clenched his claws. The Dragon Clan?
Weren't those fellows mostly still licking their wounds?
Was he coming to get a share as well?
The North Sea Dragon King was also a Great Luo. Though the Dragon Clan had suffered grievous losses after the Dragon-Phoenix-Han Tribulation and had even sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao to make amends to the primordial world—
A starved camel was still bigger than a horse.
After all, he was the North Sea Dragon King who held down the North Sea.
It was only natural for him to be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Shen Fei simply did not know whether he was friend or foe!
"Forget it! No matter what schemes they have, their schemes are doomed to fail!"
Joy flashed through Shen Fei's eyes. This Thunder Tribulation had come at just the right time. His other Mysterious Turtle Particles still lacked energy, and now it had been delivered to him.
Unfortunately, he had not comprehended the Law of Devouring, so he could not directly devour the power of law within the Thunder Tribulation. But with the Law of Water and his Mystic Turtle Indestructible Body—
He could still erase the power of law within it before refining it. It would just be much more troublesome.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to comprehend a divine ability similar to the Hell Furnace.
"Boom!"
With an explosive crash, the lightning in the firmament finally descended, instantly striking down a bolt of thunder carrying an aura of destruction!
