Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 178 - 178 039 Dragon Turtle_1

178: Chapter 039 Dragon Turtle_1 178: Chapter 039 Dragon Turtle_1 “Brother Luo Clan, this little turtle has survived the Heavenly Tribulation, hasn’t it?” the Divine Sense Intention of the Sealed Emperor Great World Dragon Turtle conveyed.

The Mystery Huang World Dragon Turtle chuckled lightly, “Of course it has passed.

The Eternal Trigram absorbed the remaining rhyme of the Heavenly Tribulation, nourishing itself.

The Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t even gather the last two strikes; how could it possibly fail?”

Knowing about the Eternal Trigram, why bother interfering?

Let go completely, and this little turtle will surely pass the Heavenly Tribulation!

Su He lay motionless on the ground, the essence left by the Heavenly Tribulation turning into a trickling stream that continuously flowed into him.

The uncontrollable spread of the Dragon Turtle Majesty gradually gathered and in the end, concentrated within ten miles around Su He, forming a domain.

At this moment, the domain manifested as a sea surface, with lightning flashing overhead, thunder roaring, and fierce winds and rain lashing down, while turbulent waves surged below.

This was the tangible manifestation of the domain.

Once inside the domain, it was a real ocean and storm.

Outside the domain, there was nothing at all.

With the domain formed, this fellow has truly become a Dragon Turtle.

The Toad squatted on top of his head, looking lost.

That strange symbol had already retracted into the Dragon Turtle’s body.

The Toad didn’t know what it was thinking.

All this effort, for what?

In the end, it wasn’t worth a single symbol.

If you had the symbol, why deceive me into acknowledging a master and integrating into the Intention Orifice?

It banged its pipe on Su He’s forehead.

Of course, it knew Su He didn’t deceive him; Su He himself didn’t know what that symbol was.

The Toad simply felt aggrieved.

It had stubbornly refused to acknowledge a master for thousands of years, only to recognize this Turtle Kid in two months!

Without having cultivated a personality, temper, or habits, it had acknowledged a master!

And shared memories too!

The more it pounded, the harder it hit.

No, once the Dragon Turtle awoke, it had to negotiate; it must not inspect the memories.

Absolutely not.

“Interrupting its advancement will cost you,” a deep, resonant voice came through, and the Toad looked up to see a mountain-like Dragon Turtle had appeared outside Su He’s domain, smiling and looking over.

The Toad gaped, staring at the Dragon Turtle that had restrained its aura.

This is an Adult Divine God Beast Dragon Turtle!

At the very least, it is at the Stepping Sky Realm level, and this is the Transcendental Battleground—how did it get in…

Nevermind, forget I asked.

The thought is stupid!

What place could possibly stop a Greater Power?

The Dragon Turtle appeared sculpted from yellow jade; though it was as large as mountains and rivers, every inch was finely carved, truly a detailed, armored creature.

A proud chick stood atop its head.

It was also a Soul Beast.

Fearing it would disturb Su He’s advancement, the chick made a silencing gesture, then flapped its wings to beckon the Toad over.

The Toad blinked and appeared beneath the Dragon Turtle’s feet.

A frog must be self-aware; a Soul Beast is one with its master, and this Dragon Turtle was a clan elder of its kind.

It wouldn’t presume to climb onto its head since it didn’t have the guts.

The chick hopped down, not even a third the height of the Toad but standing on a rock; it patted the Toad’s head contentedly, as if to say, “You’ve done well, I believe in you.”

Then, dragging the Toad along, they vanished in a flash of light.

They had gone to the Mountain and Sea Mystery Realm.

Su He lay motionless on the ground, his consciousness submerged in the Sea of Consciousness.

The numbers on the Bright Mirror kept changing.

Status: Advancing

True Blood: 99.6%…

99.7%…

Offering Bones: 99.3%…

Internal Organs: 99.5%…

The pace of advancement for the three attributes was not fast.

It was as silent as time, especially nearing the final threshold, which was terrifyingly slow.

Then, stuck at 99.9% for who knows how long, the Bright Mirror suddenly flashed, and the text changed; the three attributes disappeared.

Status: Advancing

Species: Dragon Turtle

Stage: Juvenile

Blood, flesh, and bones had reached the ultimate hundred percent transformation, but the advancement was not over.

The Dragon Turtle’s transformation was not just physical.

Su He’s consciousness left the Bright Mirror and looked towards the Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, the Sea of Consciousness was in turmoil without wind; waves churned, and there were thundering sounds continuously resonating inside the Intention Orifice.

The space of the Intention Orifice was expanding rapidly, the speed of which astonished Su He.

In the brief time he observed the Bright Mirror, the space of the Intention Orifice had already expanded more than tenfold.

The purest power kept pouring from his limbs and skeleton, supporting the expansion of the Intention Orifice and the Sea of Consciousness.

Unlike the continuously expanding Intention Orifice, the Sea of Consciousness would stabilize after a period of expansion, beginning to contract and condense.

The Divine Sense at its center had already become a solid existence like a water jade.

That was the purest crystal of Divine Sense.

To have the Divine Sense crystallize was not a capability of the Demonic Realm.

Even for a genius, the Divine Sense would only coalesce into the Thought Crystal Body after the sixth step of Demonic advancement—the Thunder Robbery Realm.

The say a purebred Divine God Beast breaks the shell at the Demon Realm, which is not exactly true, or perhaps not all Demon Realms are the same.

Both the first and seventh step are of the Demon Realm, yet their nature is markedly different.

The Sea of Consciousness roiled, condensed, and expanded.

The two Dragon Horns had not grown much but remained as newly sprouted.

However, the roots extending into the Sea of Consciousness grew wildly, some intertwining with the Divine Sense crystals.

Even more embedded directly into the barrier of the Intention Orifice, or rather, the barrier at this moment was made of the roots of the two Dragon Horns.

The expansion was relentless.

Su He’s consciousness left the Intention Orifice and looked towards his body.

The Internal Organs had completely changed their appearance—they were clearly still flesh, yet they resembled jade and agate in their coloring.

The kidneys were like inkstone, the liver akin to jade, the heart resembled redstone, the spleen was like golden silk, with breath flowing through them, drifting like smoke.

The blood vessels were truly like great rivers with boats and warriors visible, no longer hidden but existing at all times.

Meridians glowed like light streams, acupoints were like stars.

The entire body, with Xuan color as its base, adorned with various colors, looked as if amidst the stars, stunning beyond words!

In the center of the abdomen, three inches below, a bead slowly formed.

It was not a Turtle Bead, which turtles form from the concentration of their whole bloodline before dying, to pass on their lineage.

This bead did not contain any trace of the Dragon Turtle bloodline.

Concentrating Intention on it, a closer inspection revealed vague images of high mountains, flowing water, and flat plains on the bead, as if it were a shrunken star.

Beside the star, there was the “Heng” Character Symbol, with a die spinning atop the symbol.

Four points!

The Thunder and Rain forcefully drawn by the symbol had early transformed into the purest Origin World essence, and at this moment, it surged dramatically.

It had quadrupled in size.

If these origins were to turn into heavenly tribulations, they would be enough for three or four divine god beasts to completely condense the tribulations.

The pure spiritual power that had been present after the external heavenly tribulations was unknowingly completely absorbed.

Now, symbols continuously exhaled wisps of pure origin essence, nourishing Su He’s entire body.

The Heng Character symbol was a true treasure.

After the advancement was completed, Su He hesitated, not knowing when a Dragon Turtle elder would appear and whether he should inquire about the Heng Character symbol.

He didn’t know the situation with the Dragon Turtle Clan—could he trust them wholeheartedly or, just like with Qingyuan, would they plant a thorn in his heart?

Once bitten, twice shy.

The heritage had not arrived yet, it should probably come after the advancement was entirely over.

The outside world.

A Dragon Turtle elder cocked its head, sizing up the little one in front of it.

It was the same Dragon Turtle that had suppressed the Door of Three Lives in the Mystery Huang World, and it had been paying close attention to Su He ever since he entered the Heritage Illusion.

It was named Luo, born by the banks of the ancient Luo River in the Mystery Huang World.

Hence, it was named after Luo.

Now, the Luo Water had long disappeared, and even the riverbed was indistinguishable.

People did not dare to call it by its given name, thus honoring it with the title Gu Luo.

The names of the Dragon Turtles are mostly like this, merely a code, named after their birthplace, or occasionally their own attributes.

The Dragon Turtle from the Sealed Emperor Great World was called Lei, and cultivators honored it as Green Thunder.

It possessed rare thunder attributes.

Its combat power was formidable.

Gu Luo cocked its head, watching Su He.

The spiritual power after the heavenly tribulations in the Two-Realms Battlefield had been completely absorbed by him, yet the little one showed no signs of awakening.

In the midst of advancing, it didn’t dare to probe with divine sense, but judging from the little one’s continuously rising momentum, the Eternal Trigram was likely reciprocating at the moment.

This little one’s talent would double after a robbery, and the clouds and water from both worlds, forcibly absorbed, could be considered a robbery, right?

Would it be doubled?

If this thing doubled, this little one would be defying the heavens.

The more one absorbed during the first advancement, the higher the potential talent would become.

The Dragon Turtle tribe took care of its younger generations.

They had prepared a vast amount of heavenly material earthly treasures.

The moment he entered the Two-Realms Battlefield, he had laid out a big array, with heavenly material earthly treasures scattered around, ready to be replenished instantly the moment Su He’s spiritual power was fully absorbed.

Now it seemed that there was no need for the time being.

Even the best heavenly material earthly treasures couldn’t compare to the origin of the world.

From the outside, Su He didn’t seem to have changed much, only that his scales became denser and more orderly, and his turtle shell looked increasingly pleasing to the eye.

The only significant change was in color.

Originally pure black as ink with a bit of translucence, like black glass, somewhat sharp.

Now, however, it had become lustrous, looking increasingly comfortable.

The external phase Turtle Mountain was gone, the exploded Turtle Mountain had all turned into the purest spiritual power and was absorbed— it was just that its form was no longer visible, not that the external phase had disappeared.

If Su He liked, he could condense it anytime.

Its function remained, not diminishing even slightly, only becoming tougher.

As time passed day by day, Su He’s domain expanded yard by yard.

Gu Luo retreated further and further, and the array he laid out expanded accordingly.

Until the domain enveloped thirty miles, at the center of the domain, the little Dragon Turtle slowly opened its eyes and let out a long chant to the sky:

“Aooh!~~~”

This long chant arose from the heart, broke through the throat, and surged out of the Two-Realms Battlefield towards the Mystery Huang World, towards the Sealed Emperor Great World.

Suddenly, the entire Transcendental Battleground in the Two-Realms Battlefield along with the Mystery Huang World and the Sealed Emperor Great World were struck by a great storm, with thunder and lightning intermingling.

The heavens and earth welcomed the birth of the Dragon Turtle with a great rain.

Waves rolled beneath Su He’s feet as he surged up, stepping on the raindrops and shooting straight up to the Nine Heavens, breaking into the clouds.

The entire expanse of clouds turned into waves hanging in the sky, and as the waves rose and fell, Su He bobbed amongst them.

He opened his eyes to look around, and the entire Transcendental Battleground came into view.

Above, the full moon hung high, below, mountains and rivers were like dragons, war flags in Yan Feng City fluttered, statues majestic.

Everyone in Qingyuan City looked over here, heads crowded together.

Thousands of miles of landscape met his eyes, and a strange feeling emerged.

The night sky seemed dark yet not dark, the full moon seemed bright yet not bright.

Exotic beasts embroidered on the flags seemed to move yet not move.

Ordinary statues outside the city seemed alive yet not alive, their pair of eyes as if they were spiritually dynamic.

All things seemed to have come to life in that instant.

The nighttime scenery was unexpectedly beautiful.

Feeling the joyous spiritual power around him, the leaping raindrops.

Su He could sense a joyous exuberance from the world, the entire world radiating happiness towards him.

The heavens and earth honor the divine god beast!

Dragon Turtle!

Dragon Turtle!!

Su He looked up and chanted long, “Aooh!~~~”

Crack!

Whoosh!

The rain grew even heavier, each droplet leaping and cheerful.

“Aooh,” a longer, richer Dragon Turtle cry came from below.

Then, one after another, from the Door of Three Lives, from the barrier of the Two-Realms Battlefield, from all directions, the calls echoed on and on.

There were only seven cries, but they seemed to reach the entire universe.

The other Dragon Turtles were responding to him.

Clan…

Elders…

Looking downward, following the initial cry, a Dragon Turtle sculpted from yellow jade lay on the ground, looking up at him with a smiling gaze.

A surge of kinship spontaneously arose.

“Luo…”

Seeing this Dragon Turtle, Su He instinctively knew its name.

Each divine god beast is unique, irreplaceable, and inimitable—by observing its form, one knows its name.

Su He divided the water and descended, landing beside Gu Luo.

He lifted his head to look at him.

“Call me Uncle!” Gu Luo declared in his robust voice to his kin, uttering his first word.
