Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 287 - 287 29 Netherworld_2

287: Chapter 29 Netherworld_2 287: Chapter 29 Netherworld_2 Qing was slightly taken aback as she took Feng Yaya into her own Cave World.

She rarely did so, for her Cave World was the Sword World.

Within it, sword qi rampaged, and any outsider who entered risked being turned to ash with the slightest misstep.

Only after absorbing the energy from the Seven Absolute Secret Realm Thunder Pool did thunderclouds begin to condense in the sky.

Feng Yaya was never afraid of thunder and could sleep amidst thunderclouds.

With her consciousness returning, she would wake up in a matter of two or three hours.

Having sent Ya Ya on her way, a thin film appeared on Su He’s body as her external appearance solidified.

With a step forward, her figure disappeared.

When fighting the Soaring Snake, one must pull out all the stops.

Even if the Snow Concealment state couldn’t fool a Soaring Snake with its domain fully unleashed, it could inflict considerable psychological pressure on it.

Despicable!

The Soaring Snake’s eyes hardened.

It surged upwards and let out a skyward shriek.

In an instant, the sky, as dark as if thick clouds covered it, was lit by the bright moon, with eerie moonlight spilling everywhere.

A shadow that was barely visible appeared on the ground.

Su He frowned: “Moon Shadow!”

It was one of the more famous Divine Skills of the Soaring Snake Clan.

Beneath the bright moon, there was nowhere to hide, and it was said that any technique for stealth and concealment would be exposed under this Divine Skill.

The Soaring Snake, unbounded by Divine Skills, indeed had its methods.

Having survived thirty thousand years under the pursuit of the Dragon Turtle, the Soaring Snake Clan must possess some remnants of power.

If we consider the mythology of the previous world, the status of the Soaring Snake was not below that of the Dragon Turtle.

“Roar!”

Su He let out a Divine God Might Roar and charged straight at the Soaring Snake.

Any Divine Skill needed to be released with a clear mind, so it was indeed normal for the opener in a Dragon Turtle fight to be imbued with Divine Might.

With the Divine Might unleashed, the Mountain Divine God Seal closely followed.

The Soaring Snake was momentarily dazzled, its eyes lifeless, though its expression was not one of panic.

Using its tail as a whip, it struck the space before it, causing a dense web of space rifts to envelope it instantly.

The Mountain Divine God Seal struck down into the space rifts, collapsing an expanse of space and allowing the Soaring Snake a narrow escape from disaster.

The Soaring Snake shook its head, trying to rid itself of the dizziness.

But it was unable to do so.

The Dragon Turtle’s Divine Might struck directly at the Divine God Soul.

When the soul and flesh body of a Divine God Beast are unified, the Divine Might strikes directly into the Sea of Consciousness.

At that moment, within its Intention Orifice, the Sea of Consciousness was tumultuous, with towering waves crashing against the Intention Orifice Barrier like an apocalyptic wave.

The mind was thrown into an even more violent turmoil!

The Dragon Turtle had advanced too quickly.

Having faced the Heavenly Tribulation less than a year and a half ago, every move it now made seemed to bear the weight of the world—an indicator of Opening The Heaven.

During this time, the Soaring Snake had been like a rat crossing the street, not daring to come into contact with any Divine God Beast for fear of being captured and presented as an offering to the Dragon Turtle.

The news blockade of the past two years had left it unaware of what had transpired during the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

In fact, for a Divine God Beast, not receiving news for ten or twenty years was quite normal.

Who doesn’t sleep for a hundred or eighty years at a time?

This shock passed through the Soaring Snake’s mind like a flash of lightning, and it was already back in a fighting state with a roar, as Yellow Springs fell from the sky.

“Netherworld!” The Soaring Snake emitted a very low hiss, like air escaping a bellows.

Su He: ?

Netherworld…

This world did not have a Yin Realm, and Su He was certain of it.

To name the Soaring Snake’s domain as Yellow Springs was probably something it did on a whim.

But the words Netherworld… they couldn’t possibly have come about casually!

Within the Yellow Springs, the river water surged, with whirlpools everywhere and Ghost Creatures running rampant.

These Ghost Creatures, howling, broke away from the Yellow Springs and attacked Su He and Qing.

These Ghost Creatures, possessing basic Spirit Wisdom, could distinguish friend from foe without the Soaring Snake’s control.

This was not Divine Skills; it was more like Magic skill, but not the kind currently in circulation—in fact, it resembled the witchcraft mentioned in the heritage of the Dragon Turtle passed down by Thai Zu, which Su He was not too familiar with and had not thoroughly examined.

Summoning?

Su He unleashed a Divine God Might Roar, reducing the approaching Ghost Creatures to ashes.

Divine Might was not just a single-target attack; when it first appeared, it did not differentiate friend from foe!

When pitted against Ghost Creatures, Divine Might was exactly what was needed!

The raging Yellow Springs reduced the number of Ghost Creatures, but they remained densely packed, and the newly appearing ones were increasingly powerful.

Su He couldn’t determine their Boundary Status—their aura was too bizarre, neither like the three realms and seven steps of the Cultivators nor the Seven Heavens of the Divine God Beasts.

However, that was of no concern.

Fighting was the right approach.

Su He let loose another Divine God Might, obliterating the Ghost Creatures before her.

Meanwhile, Qing, who had been sitting in meditation, stood up, drew in a handful of thunder and threw it into the Yellow Springs.

Crackle!

As if the extreme yin had met the extreme yang, the entire Yellow Springs began to boil, silencing an expanse of Ghost Creatures, though even more started to take form, growing ever stronger.

The Soaring Snake, hidden beneath the waters of the Yellow Springs, was consuming Pill Medicine to heal its wounds.

Narrowing her eyes at the swarms of Ghost Creatures, Su He’s gaze sharpened, and with a roar, she used her Divine Might.

Yet, she failed to destroy any of the Ghost Creatures.

Instead, an invisible net seemed to envelop a Ghost Creature from the front and yanked it back.

Divine Skill: Soul Offering!

A branch of the Divine Might that could pull back and imprison the souls of the deceased.

When unleashed, the souls could deliver their strongest blow.

As the net dragged a Ghost Creature back, Su He felt a need to expel something surging within her, feeling uneasy until it was released.

With a roar, she expelled it.

The captured Ghost Creature transformed into a streak of black light that shot toward the Yellow Springs, holding a rusty Broken Sword aloft in a sweeping slash.

Hum!

A deep sword hum echoed as a crescent of Sword Qi burst forth from the Broken Sword, falling upon Yellow Springs and making it look as if a hand had smoothed it over.

Countless whirlpools instantly stilled, followed by half of the Ghost Creatures being split from their brows down and dissipating into smoke.

Su He was dumbfounded.

He could sense that the combat power of the Ghost Creature he had used Soul Offering on was only at the level of the first step of Stepping Sky, no different from the other Ghost Creatures.

But this ultimate strike was astonishing—its effect utterly surpassed Su He’s Divine Might.

This was not the way of cultivation.

Su He looked at the Ghost Creature he had used Soul Offering on.

After the strike, the pitch-black Ghost Creature seemed to have exhausted its ghostly power, revealing its true form.

It was an ancient warrior with a body cut in half, clad in Broken Armor, with half-unraveled hair, smiling back at Su He.
