Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 175 - 175 037 Why Didn't You Take Out the Merits Earlier_1

175: Chapter 037: Why Didn’t You Take Out the Merits Earlier_1 175: Chapter 037: Why Didn’t You Take Out the Merits Earlier_1 Beneath me was a dark red giant stone, surrounded by white fog, which offered a refreshing clarity upon a light inhale, as if I had consumed both warm jade and soul jade.

“Don’t get distracted, while the second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation hasn’t arrived yet, quickly absorb it!”

The Heavenly Tribulation was the concentration of the Origin World, breaking and traversing it would naturally bring great rewards.

The first two waves of the Heavenly Tribulation were less a tribulation and more a boon for Divine God Beasts.

Su He opened his mouth and executed the Turtle Longevity Secret, sucking in the surrounding fog in one breath like a whale drawing in water.

The fog rapidly moisturized his body upon entering.

As Su He rapidly absorbed the fog, the magma stone beneath him suddenly shattered, and two Kylins, one black and one yellow, burst through the giant stone and pounced on him from both sides while he was unprepared.

“Be careful!” the Toad cried out.

He didn’t need a reminder, with the moisture around him, not a grass moved without Su He’s perception.

He sensed the Kylins breaking through the ground the instant it happened.

The two Kylins opened their mouths, both biting at Su He, one from the front and one from the back.

Water waves moved horizontally beneath Su He, carrying him swiftly to the side, dodging the bite.

The Kylins, with identical actions, slapped a paw on Su He’s water waves, shattering them to pieces and spilling them into a puddle of liquid.

“Don’t use water, this is the second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Water is countered by earth, and Kylins are earth Divine God Beasts.

These aren’t real Kylins, but earth tribulations condensed!”

I’m not only adept with water.

Su He roared, as a cluster of thunderclouds gathered.

Crackle!

Crackling Thunderbirds fell, but the Kylins remained unfazed, roaring back, biting at the thunderclouds.

One bite each tore the thunderclouds to shreds.

A misstep, his thunder was water-generated.

Before the Kylins tearing through the thunderclouds landed, Su He’s forepaw shot out like a sword, one strike emitting five Sword Qi, simultaneously striking the yellow Kylin.

The Kylin roared, turning to bite, but Su He bit its neck first, and with a tear and a toss, its entire head was ripped off.

The Kylin crashed to the ground, turning into a yellow gaseous mass, which Su He devoured in one gulp.

The black Kylin, from behind, roared and stepped on the Turtle Shell.

Just as it aimed to tear and bite, a Sword Qi slashed from the Turtle Shell, splitting it in two.

That too turned into a mass of essence, consumed by Su He in a single mouthful.

Both Kylins only possessed the combat power of seven-star Alien Beasts.

The first and second waves of the Heavenly Tribulation were indeed warnings, not particularly powerful.

After swallowing the two masses of essence, before they were completely digested, two patches of Tribulation Clouds above him rumbled simultaneously.

Boom!

Two thunderbolts, thick as buckets, one black and one yellow, struck at Su He together, twisting and intertwining in mid-air, braided together like a twist.

The two Heavenly Tribulations could even cooperate!

Are you not fighting anymore?

Su He roared again, and it was as if the Tribulation Clouds heard his shout.

They brightened with beams of light, striking each other, but also forming thunderbolts targeting Su He.

Nine from each side, eighteen thunderbolts twisted and intertwined, forming nine large twisted braids that lashed down frenetically.

Crackle!

Boom!

Nine bolts of gold and black thunder continuously struck Turtle Mountain in various poses.

Su He only felt as if mountains were crashing down, one after the other, like waterfalls and waves formed by mountain ranges.

It pounded so fiercely that his blood surged, and his internal organs shook.

Only after nine consecutive strikes did the scorching and numbness of the thunder and lightning follow.

Su He’s entire Turtle form lay twitching on the ground, with the Toad powerless atop his head, streaks of lightning snaking over its body.

The third wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, this was truly the first that posed harm.

After some time, Su He shook himself and rose up.

Looking up, he saw the fourth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation already gathering.

The two Tribulation Clouds were no longer attacking each other, realizing they couldn’t subdue one another.

Or perhaps they suddenly remembered they had a mission and turned their attention to Su He.

The two masses of clouds tumbled, doing their utmost to congeal thunder.

Each bolt was at least twice as thick as before, and more importantly—dense beyond counting!

Previously there were only eighteen, truly merciful.

Giving Su He and the Toad no chance to quiver in fear, the freshly condensed thunder wasted no time in striking.

This time, the two torrents of thunder did not merge or entwine, instead, they vied to overwhelm Su He first.

It seemed they were racing to strike Su He dead before the other.

The Toad only had time to shout a warning: careful.

And then thunder struck its head.

The Toad looked dumbfounded, its head smoking as it glared at the Tribulation Clouds and cursed in its heart: “Are you blind?

Not striking that huge Turtle, but striking me?!”

Jumping off the Dragon Head, it crawled under Su He amidst the thick smoke.

In an instant, thunder fell like rain.

The whole world was filled with nothing but crackling and booming.

In Yan Feng City and Qingyuan City, everyone put away their Magic Artifacts and dared not activate the city’s Big Array, fearing the Tribulation Clouds would notice and drag them into it.

Who could have imagined that the Dragon Turtle Crosses the Catastrophe’s Tribulation Clouds were not above the Dragon Turtle but to its left and right, even closer to them.

Wouldn’t it be better for you to merge together?

Ge Feng could only smile wryly; previously, he was worried about disturbances to Uncle Dragon Turtle’s Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing it now, who the hell would want to go, please go quickly!

The entire sky was rolling with thunder and lightning—who would dare to leave their house?

Already, some disciples were pressed to the ground by the imposing might of the heavens, and nobody mocked them—as everyone found out, as long as they lay down, the Tribulation Clouds would not focus on them, presumably assuming they would not interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation.

They belonged to the surrendering faction.

Therefore…

the entire Qingyuan City, regardless of gender, all lay on the ground.

Yu Lin lay prone on the ground, biting his lower lip, and secretly transmitted his voice, “Whoever lets today’s matter slip is an enemy to us all, and we shall all attack him!”

Everyone: “…”

Brother, we all care about our faces.

Who would go spreading this around?

What I’m worried about is those Minotaurs across from us blabbing!

Inside Yan Feng City, Feng Luan’s face was pale—the higher one’s boundary status, the stronger the sense of how terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was.

Heavenly Tribulation released its aura without restraint, almost pressing her to the ground.

I can’t hold on any longer…

She issued a command in a low voice, “All soldiers heed my order—lie down!”

The group of Minotaurs, as if pardoned, instantly softened and collapsed to the ground.

…

…

Su He looked up and howled long, “Ao~”

Thunder rained down, striking Turtle Mountain one strike after another.

The third wave of dual-type thunders twisted into a strand before fell, seemingly unperturbed.

Perhaps they had already attacked each other in the sky and sustained losses?

This time, there was no entwining, each struck where it may.

The power was even greater, especially when two different Heavenly Tribulations struck the same spot, which could trigger chain reactions.

It was as if thunder from the heavens collided with fire from the earth, exploding with a rumble.

Rocks flew from Turtle Mountain, and fragments were hurled into the distance.

Su He roared, condensing globes of water to explode in the sky, creating a curtain of rain, with thousand-weigh drops chaotically flying around in the air, attracting thunders to burst midair.

Time passed, and External Phase Turtle Mountain had shrunk by half, with the remaining Turtle Mountain showing a cracked state.

Only then did the fourth wave of Heavenly Tribulation gradually subside, with the occasional thunderbolt striking somewhere unknown.

Su He gasped for breath.

The Toad crawled out from beneath his Turtle Shell, looking quite ill.

The power of a Heavenly Tribulation formed by two Thunderclouds wasn’t as simple as one plus one but grew exponentially.

The intensity of that fourth wave was indeed equal to the seventh wave normally faced by Divine God Beasts.

In this manner, the Dragon Turtle would at most get through the fifth wave.

The sixth would bring it to its knees!

The Toad slapped himself on the face.

Damn his soft heart!

Knowing full well that because of the two clouds, this Turtle Kid might not make it through, he still scampered back and acknowledged a master.

Must be out of his mind.

While Su He rested, absorbing the essence of the world left behind after the Heavenly Tribulation, the Toad hopped onto the Turtle Shell to look at the Thunderclouds.

He saw the Tribulation Cloud churning, with the fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation already taking shape.

The Toad’s expression changed drastically.

Unable to control himself any longer, he blurted out without holding back, “Damn, are you in such a hurry to kill him and go back to get married and have kids?

Since when is there such a short interval between two rounds of Heavenly Tribulation?!”

This is straight-up cheating!

One after another, they condensed faster than the last.

You two, are you competing?

Afraid that the Dragon Turtle will be slain by the other and lose face?!

Before he could jump down and burrow into Su He’s Shell, Heavenly Tribulation descended.

No longer just falling in separate flashes, but as orbs of thunder descending to the earth, each explosion potent enough to level a mountaintop.

Such power was equal to a full strength strike of a Profound Moon Beast—one Profound Moon is nothing to fear, Dragon Turtle can handle it.

The problem is, the entire sky is filled with dense thunder orbs!

This is set on destroying the Two-Realms Battlefield!

Su He rode on the surging waves beneath him, dodging left and right, with thousand-weigh heavy rain smashing the thunder orbs in midair.

Su He felt as if the whole world was trembling, with only the thunderous blasts ringing in his ears.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

Three thunder orbs landed on Turtle Mountain in succession, sending rocks flying everywhere.

The Toad took out a smoking pipe, leaped up to land on Su He’s Turtle Shell, and swung the pipe at the incoming thunder orbs.

But a thunder orb struck him, landing on Turtle Mountain.

Then, on the cracked Turtle Mountain, a Merit Monument with the shining word “Bright Mirror” emerged.

The Toad was stunned for a moment before starting to hop furiously.

The pipe tapped on Su He’s Shell, “You had merit and you didn’t say earlier, had merit and you didn’t use it soon enough!”

Su He spat out a water orb to knock away a thunder orb.

The Merit Monument had been inlaid on Turtle Mountain long ago, refining the Turtle Shell while adding another layer over the mountain, hiding it inside.

The Toad didn’t mention before that merit could be used to resist Heavenly Tribulation.

Not paying him any mind, the Toad ran over, grabbed the Bright Mirror Stele, and forcefully pulled it out from Turtle Mountain before jabbing it into the Turtle Shell.

Without needing to be operated, the Merit Monument radiated a soft light, creating a light screen.

It blocked all the thunder orbs from the Heavenly Tribulation outside.

Outside the light screen, thunder roars and lightning flashes shone brightly against each other.

The Merit Monument quivered continuously from the blasts.

But eventually, the fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation slowly passed.

The Toad with his smoking pipe idle, spoke in Su He’s mind, “If you have any other hidden tricks, spit them out.

If there’s anything else that can deal with Heavenly Tribulation, use it now.”

“White Jade Turtle Shell?” Su He likewise spoke within his mind.

The Toad: “Just roll away!”

“Then that’s it!”

“No hope left, wait for death!” The Toad stamped out his smoking pipe and packed it away.

He reached for the now much thinner Merit Monument.

Above, Tribulation Cloud was truly hurrying onto the scene; the sixth wave was already condensing.

Why so quickly?

Within Two-Realms Battlefield, the Dragon Turtles from Mystery Huang World and Sealed Emperor Great World communicated through Divine God Thought.

Tian Tao’s Fixed Number, to each his own.

This limitation on the flow of the Power of the World from each vast world into this realm reduced the power of Heavenly Tribulation but sped up its formation several fold.

Not sure whether they’ve helped or harmed Little Dragon Turtle?

“It’s a pity.

Bright Mirror has emerged too short a time ago.

If it had two to three hundred years to be known throughout the major worlds, the little fellow would have accumulated more merit, and the tribulation wouldn’t be a problem.

The remaining half of the Stele couldn’t survive the sixth wave,” the Dragon Turtle from Sealed Emperor Great World sighed faintly, surrounded by kneeling Minotaurs.
