Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 290 - 290 30 Peacock_2

290: Chapter 30 Peacock_2 290: Chapter 30 Peacock_2 Seven Dragon Turtles—hardly a number that Su He would consider significant.

No matter what, these Dragon Turtles could never hope to win a war against the Sealed Emperor’s Palace.

But the arrival of seven top-level Dragon Turtles in the Sealed Emperor Great World and a great battle ensued.

Setting aside who would lose or win, after the battle the standing of Sealed Emperor Great World in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms would definitely drop from the first rank by several notches.

It would be considered deep-rooted to even remain in the top hundred.

If Mystery Huang World took the opportunity to rise, the effect would be even better.

The Dragon Turtles could not afford to gamble, and neither could the Sealed Emperor’s Palace.

More importantly, not a single Dragon Turtle had any integrity; sneak attacks and assassination against isolated individuals weren’t out of the question for them.

Which Dragon Turtle didn’t advance from being an ordinary Turtle, with sneak attacks engraved into their bones?

Soaring Snake twitched the corners of its mouth, barely managing a cold smile as its Divine Sense conveyed thoughts weaker and weaker, yet its tone and intention didn’t soften at all.

It merely admitted defeat, not submission, “Because I want to suppress you!”

I believe I can beat you!

Who would have known Dragon Turtles lacked martial ethics, launching a sneak attack from the start.

And then…

when it was forced to the bottom of the domain river and just took out the Echo Insect, it was slain by a Chaotic Edge.

To be unable to block even a single Chaotic Edge, what a waste.

To think it even ranked on the list of extraordinary insects.

Su He nodded in acknowledgment, since Feng Yi Ju had not been informed, it didn’t matter.

And even if they had been informed, there was no fear, since Meng Xuan from Qianjiang Li had already made contact with him.

She had inquired from Senior Qing Cang, who was currently playing games with Feng Yi Ju.

It seemed they had discovered something amusing from Feng Yi Ju and were currently preoccupied with it, wanting to thoroughly study it.

Feng Yi Ju shouldn’t be able to care about here.

If they did…

just kill them off!

The lower half of Soaring Snake spasmed uncontrollably, its heart damaged by a sneak attack from the Mountain Divine God Seal, its head repeatedly smashed, further shaken by Divine God Might, a vertebrae plucked outright by the Spirit Snake, its throat torn apart; at this moment its head was only connected to the body by two flaps of flesh, with Sword Qi still raging inside it.

Such injuries would have doomed any species that was not a Divine God Beast, dead through and through.

Even a Stepping Sky Cultivator would have regenerated and fled for their life already.

Only a Divine God Beast had such tenacious vitality.

But even then it was at the end of its rope, and even if Su He didn’t kill it, there was no certainty it would survive—Because the parts torn away by the Gluttonous Eating Method were torn from the Origin, leaving no chance of regeneration.

Without the major throat vessels and the central spine, even if it survived, there would no longer be any chance to reach the peak of strength.

Soaring Snake could feel its Life Energy slipping away bit by bit.

It forced its hazy eyes to focus, baring two half-broken fangs at Su He: “If I could start over, I would first slay White Spirit, then kill you!”

A glint of sharpness flashed across its body, condensing fog into a knife, and astonishingly, it carved out its own heart.

The fog knife then transformed into a giant hand, brutally smashing the heart into Su He’s mouth.

With gritted teeth, the snake’s head let out its sole roar: “Grant the new Soaring Snake a chance to live!”

Roaring, its dissipating gaze suddenly sharpened, staring straight at Su He, only to gradually fade away.

Several dice fell from the heavens, landing one by one upon the body of Soaring Snake.

Su He’s domain enveloped the area in an instant, preventing outsiders from observing the scene.

…

The dark clouds overhead dispersed, and the bright moon shone like a mirror, with heavy rain falling in the midst of winter, mourning the fall of a Divine God Beast.

The world does not judge whether a Divine God Beast is good or evil, fickle or steadfast.

That is for the living creatures to decide; the world simply knows that with one less Divine God Beast capable of refining Chaos for immortality, it must mourn.

Alas, Bifang, having died after Dragon Gate, did not even receive the world’s sorrow.

As Soaring Snake died, its storage space burst open on its own.

The dice fell one after another, and Su Huanian watched as treasures erupted from Soaring Snake’s body, doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling in amount.

Although a few items didn’t multiply, their Quality suddenly improved.

It was difficult to perceive specifics at the moment, but there was at least a two to threefold increase.

Contacting Su He as he swiftly unfurled his domain.

Su Huanian instantly understood; this was the secret of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, and it mustn’t be an ability of the entire tribe but one particular to Su He alone, otherwise there was no need for secrecy.

Were the treasures that Ya Ya consumed before, which had an improved Quality, acquired this way?

Su Huanian formed hand seals and uttered a vow: “I bear witness, and it shall remain concealed.

If revealed, heaven forsake me!”

She actually invoked heaven and earth to make a vow, and a streak of azure light appeared and vanished in the sky as a witness to her oath.

Su He stood dumbfounded, unable even to interrupt, watching the serious and solemn Su Huanian, contenting himself with a wry smile, uncertain of what to say.

“Sister, this matter isn’t a secret, it’s just unknown to outsiders.

All in the Dragon Turtle Tribe are aware.”

Su Huanian lightly laughed and shook her head: “I am different from the Dragon Turtles.”

“Same!” Su He stressed.

Yet Su Huanian shook her head again: “Dragon Turtles are powerful, impenetrable to anyone seeking to probe their memories.

I, however, am too weak.” She had a measure of skill which could turn heaven and earth’s marks into protection, hidden within this memory, unafraid of being inspected.

Qing seemed not inclined to explain further, shaking her head lightly, “You collect the treasures; I’ll go watch over Green Snake.”

She leaped up, exiting the area and landing on the Flying Boat.

Su He chuckled softly, her gaze falling on the items burst forth by Soaring Snake, most of which were materials and not particularly precious; the Source Stones were few and far inferior to Bifang’s.

However, a gray fog carrying a die floated out, and as the die settled: three dots.

The fog suddenly expanded threefold and with a swift motion, burrowed into Su He’s body.

An enlightenment rose within her: Netherworld.

To summon Netherworld Ghosts, useful in combat.

Before Su He could inspect it further, the moment the Netherworld fog drifted out, the corpse of Soaring Snake seemed to trigger a mechanism, shooting a green light straight through to the Nine Heavens.

Fools!

“Retreat!” Su He yelled urgently as Divine God Machine moved.

But at that moment, an enormous bowl dropped from above her.

It passed directly through the spatial seal above Su He’s head and transformed into a fishing net-like structure that entrapped her within.

From afar, Su Huanian heard Su He’s urgent shout.

Far from leaving, she even placed Ya Ya under the toad’s feet and suddenly darted forth, pointing her sword at the net.

The net swayed, absorbing the Sword Qi, and in turn fortified its own solidity.

“Do not attack, take Ya Ya to Yunmeng Ze immediately, seek refuge in the Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

If you encounter Feng Yi Ju, flee.

Once I break free, I will slay him!”

As Su Huanian looked at Su He and then at the net she had struck with her sword, she nodded, turned, and left, making a beeline for the Flying Boat.

A cold voice arose beside Su He’s ear: “Today, should any mishap befall you or Ya Ya, I swear to obliterate the Seal Emperor’s Palace, whether it takes ten thousand or a hundred thousand years!”

The fishing net was made of chill-inducing iron chains that might as well have had the Seal Emperor’s Palace name engraved on them.

Tsk, tsk, has the Seal Emperor’s Palace managed to capture the attention of an Immortal Sovereign?

In a previous life, an Immortal Sovereign, is it too much to return to your rightful position in this life?

Su He turned to glance at the Soaring Snake’s corpse collapsed on the ground, laughing in frustration.

Was this fool unaware that its body had been tampered with?

The words “Moon Elder” being White Spirit’s work was forgivable, but Feng Yi Ju’s underlings managed it too?

Was there a dumbing down effect upon merging with Moon Elder?

Someone had tampered with Soaring Snake, not only could the Echo Insect summon the Dust Free Cover, but its death also signaled a message.

If it wasn’t Feng Yi Ju’s doing, then it had to be the work of the Seal Emperor’s Palace.

The Xuan Tian Sect Leader wouldn’t spread false information, there was a connection between Feng Yi Ju and the Seal Emperor’s Palace.

Su He searched her External Appearance Space and produced a black bead, a Boundary-breaking Bead.

She channeled True Yuan into the Boundary-breaking Bead, directing its power at the Dust Free Cover.

The fishing net-like Dust Free Cover shook as if to open, but after a tremble, it firmed up even more.

Incredible!

There is actually a Seal that can’t be broken by a Boundary-breaking Bead?

Su He refused to believe it, this time aiming the Boundary-breaking Bead’s power at the ground, only to see it ripple as the power vanished.

The Dust Free Cover wasn’t just a cover; the moment it descended, it had formed into a sphere, utterly sealed on all sides.

“Turtle Kid!

How’s it going?” a voice from the toad inside her head inquired.

It turned out this Dust Free Cover shockingly had no features to restrain Soul Beasts, disappointing!

“A most intriguing spatial sealing technique; I don’t think I can get out for now,” Su He replied.

“I’ve sought help in Qianjiang,” the toad responded.

“Zhanxiu, Canchen Taoist, True Person Nanming, and several other friends have crossed worlds to help, but they are not in the Mystery Huang World.

It will take some time for them to get here.”

Su He nodded: “Thank the seniors on my behalf.

After this ordeal, I will make sure to repay them handsomely!

How are you all doing?”

The toad paused for a moment before replying, “Not so good.

As soon as the Flying Boat took off, Ya Ya awoke, and now Thunder courses over her, indicating a leakage of Origin.

But we’ve yet to locate the source of the leakage.”

Su He took a deep breath.

Aside from direct harm like the Gluttonous Eating Method, only a parent could stealthily steal Origin without a trace.

Feng Yi Ju is courting death!

“Get in touch with Meng Xuan within Qianjiang, ask him to try contacting the Qilin Clan or the Phoenix Clan, request a senior to come break us free.”

Adult Four Spirits Divine God Beasts could travel long distances through spatial rifts, and even across vast worlds, they could arrive in an instant.

Now it was time to show off connections.

Su He didn’t know many people, but as a Dragon Turtle, her elders had significant clout!
