Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 628 - 628 148 The Third Emperor's Son Advances Su He Slays Five-fold_3

628: Chapter 148: The Third Emperor’s Son Advances, Su He Slays Five-fold_3 628: Chapter 148: The Third Emperor’s Son Advances, Su He Slays Five-fold_3 The inner world was bright and clean, the world itself stable and nearly reaching its limit.

The second Opening Heaven Divine Artifact atop Tai’a Mountain, a box, had also fully condensed, cramming shells inside it.

With only one more hexagram, the Second Level of Heaven could be opened at any time.

The Snow Lotus didn’t contribute too much to the inner world’s enhancement, but neither was it insignificant.

The boost from three Snow Lotuses would have required at least two to three years of absorbing Source Stones for Su He.

He took a deep breath to sense his status.

Opening his eyes, Su He felt he could still absorb two or three more Snow Lotuses.

Without pausing, he picked up two, thought for a moment, then picked up another, and swallowed all three Snow Lotuses at once.

Flames burst out from the gaps in his scale armor in an instant, and Su He cried out in pain as his body transformed into the Peacock True Body in the blink of an eye.

The intense agony was thrown into the background, as if trying to pierce through from the unknown beyond.

Su He exhaled deeply; even his Peacock Body eyed the remaining Snow Lotuses.

He thought for a moment, then picked up one with his beak and swallowed it.

Qian Qianzi just shook her head as she watched.

The consumption for a Divine God Beast was already immense, and there was also the second form.

If a third or fourth form were to emerge in the future, he could single-handedly bankrupt a large Sect!

Su He continued to consume the Snow Lotuses.

On the ice fields of the outside world, in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky where there was no distinction between day and night, time was immeasurable.

Within the unfolding Cave World, a figure slowly appeared, completely naked yet in the form of an infant.

As flames flickered, the infant breathed in and out, and in just a moment, it grew into an adult.

Every inch of skin glistened, seemingly fragile enough to break with a touch.

However, there was a sense of pity in seeing an arm missing.

There was also a Talisman Rune between the eyebrows, adding a touch of strangeness to the sight.

The Third Emperor’s Son stepped out, already outside the Cave World.

With a wave of his hand, he retracted the Cave World, and a layer of clothes fell upon him.

Looking down at the palm of his hand and giving it a slight squeeze, he felt full of strength.

This strength was probably enough to kill a Dragon Turtle with a single punch!

He laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

Who could say for sure whether his feeding and drinking were by chance?

Had the Dragon Turtle not pursued him, how could he have found such a treasure?

He turned towards where he had previously been, the place where he had separated from the Dragon Turtle.

The Snow Lotus was helpful for breaking through boundaries, allowing him to achieve the Stepping Sky Five-fold.

But, that Dragon Turtle was surely not so lucky.

If the Dragon Turtle had just started Opening The Heaven, the immense Yuan Power from the Snow Lotus might have extremely stabilized its inner world, possibly even reaching the point of Opening the Second Heaven directly.

However, the Dragon Turtle’s inner world had already reached its limit; what it lacked was the Divine Artifact for Opening Heaven.

An Opening Heaven Divine Artifact required enlightenment!

It demanded the pursuit of the Dao!

It couldn’t simply be condensed with external things.

Even with the Snow Lotus, the Dragon Turtle wouldn’t have made much progress these days.

A glint of murderous intent flashed in the Third Emperor’s Son’s eyes.

Kill!

He leaped into the air, heading straight towards the place he had parted from the Dragon Turtle.

As he soared, a Bronze Mirror appeared in his hand—the same one he had used to search for Su He in the Chaos.

After refining the scattered Buddha Force from Buddha’s Outer Garment, which belonged to Su He, the Bronze Mirror could locate the Dragon Turtle.

The Third Emperor’s Son touched the surface of the mirror, and it immediately showed Su He’s location.

The position of Xun, forty thousand li away!

It wasn’t far!

He smiled, not in a hurry to fly there, but instead, he walked step by step, steadily consolidating his boundary status.

Stepping Sky Five-fold, a complete rebirth.

It would be enough to slay his former self within ten moves!

And within thirty moves, the Dragon Turtle could be killed!

The Third Emperor’s Son smiled slightly, regaining his princely demeanor.

He ingested a Pill Medicine, and with every hundred li he walked, his boundary became more stable by a fraction.

After one day’s journey, he would suppress and kill within ten breaths—no, actually, before suppressing, he would first force the Dragon Turtle to remove the Talisman Rune on his forehead.

It required a bit more time, but it was no matter.

With the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky opened for twelve years, he would suppress the Dragon Turtle, explore the Cave Heaven, and strive to attain the Dao within twelve years.

After venturing out, he aimed to advance to the Stepping Sky Six-fold within a millennium.

A faint smile played across his lips.

Inside the great hall, Su He slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the Peacock Body that had undergone little change.

The Snow Lotus flames had merged into his body, not forging the Peacock Flesh Body but instead blending into the Phoenix True Fire, which was now even more radiant, nearly solidifying into substance, akin to the great sun when Phoenix Chao Fei healed his wounds.

Unfortunately, he could no longer consume the Snow Lotus.

Su He sensed that he had reached his limit.

Whether it was his Peacock Body or the Dragon Turtle True Form, any further consumption of Snow Lotus was not only futile but might also lead to undesirable events—such as an explosion!

At his flesh body’s limit and his inner world also at its peak, Su He couldn’t think of any ways to enhance his inner world any further, it seemed that apart from Opening The Heaven, there was no other method.

He chuckled, casting a glance at the three remaining Snow Lotuses on the ground.

Turning to Qian Qianzi, he said, “One of these Snow Lotuses is for the Fairy, but since the Snow Lotus cannot be stored in a storage space and I am without hands, could the Fairy please hold onto it for me for now?”

Qian Qianzi blinked, her entire body numb.

When Su He swallowed the Snow Lotus and fell into a slumber, she, too, had curiously pinched off a tiny piece and swallowed it, causing a wave of discomfort over her entire being.

Flames burst forth from her seven orifices, and her clothing ignited with the slightest touch.

Fortunately, the Dragon Turtle was in a state of deep sleep; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face it.

She clipped the Snow Lotus to her waist and said softly, “I will give it to Sister Ji when I see her; it’s too dangerous to keep on me.”

It is no crime to be an ordinary man, but to possess a jewel in one’s bosom invites guilt.

The presence of this Snow Lotus was far too potent.

After some thought, Su He said, “Why not leave it here for now?

Even if we obtain other treasures, we can also leave them here since no one else can enter.”

Qian Qianzi’s eyes lit up, then she suddenly realized something, “Are we leaving?”

That was Su He’s plan, to leave.

Shouldn’t we try to contact Qianjiang’s Friend first?

There are two Stepping Sky Five-fold monks outside!

Su He’s feathers rustled, and she chuckled.

She spun her body and transformed into her Dragon Turtle True Form.

Shaking herself, a heap of Turtle Shell and Scales fell off.

Her body was now less than twenty feet long!

Presently only half the original size, roughly the size of a normal bedroom from her past life.

But the entire Turtle was no longer made of pure ink jade.

Qian Qianzi didn’t know how to describe it; the Turtle now looked different than before, less angular and more lustrous, more tender.

Yet, this restraint only made her feel an even greater pressure.

“Wait for me for a moment.

I’ll call you when it’s time to come out,” Su He said in a heavy tone.

Su He looked towards the doorway, opened her mouth, and spat out four Mountain Divine God Seals, which blasted in all directions through the great hall doors.

A Dragon Turtle roar thundered out, sending waves of Divine God Might rippling.

Before Qian Qianzi could speak, Su He’s External Appearance Turtle Mountain manifested on her back, and she charged out headfirst.

Huh?

Qian Qianzi was surprised; Su He could pass through this door?

With a roar, Su He burst out abruptly, only half of her body emerging, ready to retreat at any moment.

Upon exiting, she realized there were only two monks outside.

One was sent flying into the distance by a Mountain Divine God Seal; the remaining one folded his hands together, an Arhat apparition on his body, resisting the Divine God Might.

You are weakened!

The fake monks from the Buddha World can’t accumulate merit.

Without the foundation of the Arhat Gold Body, they are by default one level weaker than the monks from Gujing Pavilion—even at their strongest, they only surpass other ordinary Heaven Five-fold cultivators from the grand worlds by a small margin.

They were just slightly stronger than the Third Emperor’s Son, by a third.

If it were just one of them, Su He might have attempted combat on the spot.

A monk in a state of dizziness—how could Su He miss out on such an opportunity!

“Roar!” With a roar, her Divine God Might surged out once again, blasting directly into the monk’s ears, face-to-face.

Caught off guard, the monk became stupefied momentarily, his Arhat Dharma Phase flickering.

The Snow Lotus refining her body had increased the power of her Divine God Might!

Delighted, Su He didn’t pause her attacks, sweeping up her claw to smack down on the monk’s Dharma Phase, tearing three gashes into it with a loud crack.

Su He opened her mouth and hurled a Mountain Divine God Seal with fivefold the power.

Bang!

It struck the monk’s skull, and his large head burst open.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, from the time the Mountain Divine God Seals were launched from within the great hall until Su He rushed out and shattered the monk’s head; it was over in an instant.

A Buddhist chant came from afar.

The monk who had been blasted away, his Vajra Phase shattering the Mountain Divine God Seal, leaped back just in time to see the scene, his charging figure arcing straight up into the Nine Heavens!

And without a glance back, he left!

There were treasures in that great hall!

Treasures that could turn the tide of battle for the Dragon Turtle, advancing her bloodline!

Ordinary Four Spirits at Opening Heaven One-fold could suppress a Stepping Sky Three-fold cultivator, and there might be a genius who could suppress even a Stepping Sky Four-fold, but that was the limit.

This Dragon Turtle, after one visit to the great hall, showed signs of being able to suppress Five-fold!

There are treasures!

They must summon fellow cultivators to come!

The treasures of the world belong to the world.

Monks renounce all material possessions; how can they be greedy?

It should be shared.

He soared into the clouds.

From a distance, the Third Emperor’s Son advanced step by step.
