Chapter 289: Chapter 215: The Power of the Good Turtle!

It’s said to resemble a turtle, but it was far more peculiar than any ordinary turtle.

It looked akin to the divine Xuanwu, yet on the turtle’s back grew a landscape complete with rivers and mountains, and even the sun and moon shone upon it, forming a world of its own, truly inconceivable!

After the turtle crawled out from the body of Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, it quickly landed on the ground and continued to grow larger and taller, eventually reaching the same height as Nangong Zhidao.

With a thunderous roar, just at that moment, the third mountain, conjured by Li Ping’an’s mana, finally pressed down upon the two mountains before it. The trio of Mountain of Magical Power bore down with the force of a thousand tons, sealing the life and death of Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao in the blink of an eye.

Knowing fully well the prowess of the Divine Beast Liang Gui, as the third great mountain descended, Nangong Zhidao immediately released his grip, allowing the three Mountain of Magical Power to press down on Liang Gui’s back. Nangong Zhidao narrowly escaped disaster.

However, he had struggled so hard up until now that his mana was nearly depleted, and his body was on the verge of collapse. As soon as he let go, he felt a sense of relief, but every part of his body cried out in inexplicable pain, especially the bones, muscles, and internal organs, as if countless steel needles were piercing through them incessantly.

With a thud, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao could no longer endure and collapsed to the ground, spewing blood continuously from his mouth.

"It seems this is no ordinary spirit beast!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing the turtle that was steadily growing larger and withstanding the pressure of the mountains conjured by Li Ping’an’s magic:

"It bears the likeness of Xuanwu, with the sun and moon atop its shell, forming a world unto itself, containing a blessed land within, truly extraordinary!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother Qingyun Tai Shibao turned their heads and inquired:

"We are not familiar with spirit beasts. Based on how impressive you say it is, what exactly is this turtle? It can change size and withstand attacks like a magical treasure?"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, shook his head:

"My Immeasurable Sect specializes in taming spirit beasts, but I’ve never seen such a beast!"

...

"Is Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Tao dead?"

"It looks like he’s still breathing, but it feels like all his limbs are broken!"

"He probably won’t die, but he’s disabled, looking like he’s only hanging on by a thread."

"Honestly, he’s very impressive already. It’s clear that if it were any of us, we’d be dead by now!"

"But to be fair, this Li Ping’an is ruthless!"

"Haven’t you realized yet? There is a deep hatred between the two of them; they are both using today’s Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master as an opportunity to take each other’s life!"

The cultivators present began to comment on Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, who was lying on the ground, barely clinging to life.

...

"Tsk, tsk, Nangong’s Tao, you’re still not dead yet?"

Li Ping’an looked at Nangong Zhidao, who was now barely breathing on the ground. He initially intended to spare his life, but then he remembered what Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts, once told him:

Killing must be met with blood, saving must be thorough!

This was not the time for mercy; Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao must not be spared!

"I refuse to believe this turtle can withstand my Tiangang Five Peaks Seal!"

Li Ping’an prepared to fully unleash the Tiangang Five Peaks Seal once more, intending to crush both the Liang Gui and Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao to death.

Just as he was about to strike, Immortal Fei He, the most worried about loss of life from Moyun Temple, suddenly rose in haste, attempting to stop Li Ping’an:

"Zhengyi Cultivator Li Ping’an, from Mount Longhu, it was enough that you injured someone, but now you intend to take his life—do you not see me, Immortal Fei He, as someone to be reckoned with?"

"You count for nothing! Fuck your mother..."

Li Ping’an was about to turn around and curse when Immortal Fei He, the Observatory Master of Moyun Temple, seeing he had diverted Li Ping’an’s attention, immediately shouted at Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, who was lying on the ground, struggling to breathe:

"Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, are you willing to admit defeat now?"

"Hahaha!"

Before the attentive eyes of everyone, Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. Then, like a maggot in blood, he struggled fiercely. Still, after much effort, he could not rise and finally shouted defiantly:

"I will never admit defeat!"

"This..."

Observatory Master Immortal Fei He was utterly overwhelmed:

"Madman! A madman with a death wish! Can’t you leave me out of it if you want to die?!"

"Such resilience! Tiangang Five Peaks Seal!"

Li Ping’an fully unleashed the Tiangang Five Peaks Seal without reservation, as all those present finally witnessed the Tiangang Five Peaks Seal in its entirety.

The five mountains, grand enough to touch the heavens and spectacular to behold, seemed like they could suppress the very heavens and earth, with their descent speed, power, and everything else being several times more formidable than the single mountain from before.

Watching the looming shadow of the five Mountain of Magical Power overhead, the cultivators with lower cultivation panicked and fled further away from the arena, fearing collateral damage from the immortals’ battle.

"So Li Ping’an was holding back with his spell!"

"Looks like this time Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao will be crushed into powder!"

"Truly, flesh and bone turned to mud, Li Ping’an is merciless in his attack!"

"Li Ping’an had been holding back all along, who knew why he suddenly decided to kill!"

"It’s over! Thoroughly over! Even Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s body will be gone! Soon there will be no place even for burial rites!"

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, let’s prepare to perform a transcendence ritual for Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao later!"
