The entire island suddenly trembled, and a terrifying imperial aura soared into the sky. That aura made Long Chen's soul tremble—a presence he had only ever felt on the Hall Master.
Immediately after, Long Chen saw the island slowly drift toward the depths of the sea. He activated his divine sense and was shocked to find that this massive island was actually perched on the back of a giant turtle.
"Rumble... The
sea trembled, huge waves surged, and four massive claws stirred the water, stirring up raging waves. At that moment, Long Chen and the others were stunned; they had never seen such a gigantic creature.
The island spanned millions of miles, with countless buildings on it, yet the giant turtle was carrying it into the deep sea. The demon human emperor, besieged by Gu Yang and the others, saw this scene and was both shocked and furious. He let out a deafening roar:
"Old turtle, as the guardian beast of our clan, how can you flee in the face of battle? Kill them now!"
However, the giant turtle did not stop moving in response to the Human Emperor's roar. Instead, it slowly moved toward the deep sea. At the same time, an aged voice rang out:
"Your ancestors once owed me a favor. I promised your ancestors to protect your clan for thirty million years. I have completed my mission, and I overslept, protecting your clan for another three hundred thousand years." Everyone is already evenly matched. "
Boom!"
As soon as the giant turtle finished speaking, a deafening explosion appeared. Half a massive chain appeared on its back, firmly securing it to the eight surrounding islands.
"Hmph, rude little brat, do you think I'm your servant?" When it saw the chains locked to its body, the giant turtle instantly flew into a rage, its whole body trembling.
With a loud explosion, the chains locked to its body, along with the island on its back, shattered with a thunderous crash. The terrifying force pressed down on the seawater, rushing rapidly in all directions.
"Defend back!"
Long Chen shouted. At the same time, he opened his large hand and slashed out with a palm. A crescent blade shot out, slashing the raging waves. The waves were cut by the crescent moon. This move was the very one the Dragonbone Evil Moon had passed on to Long Chen.
But to Long Chen's shock, this strike could easily shatter mountains and cut through the crest of waves, yet it couldn't dispel the earth-shattering energy.
"Boom!"
Long Chen held the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, shouted angrily, and slashed at the giant wave again. With a loud explosion, the wave was torn apart once more, shattering the wave. The aftershock surged forward without subsiding and still surged to everyone.
Long Chen was the first to be struck, struck by the giant wave. He was like a lone boat in a raging wave, nearly smashed to pieces, his bones nearly shattering.
Long Chen was shocked. What level of existence was this giant turtle? It didn't attack the crowd, but the aftermath nearly killed them.
"Rumble... The
aftershock reached the Dragonblood Legion. The Dragonblood warriors formed a strong formation to block head-on, their formation instantly shattered, and all the Dragonblood Warriors spat out mouthfuls of blood.
The other disciples behind the Dragonblood warriors were blasted out by the aftershock, scattering into the sky and disappearing without a trace.
Fortunately, the power of the giant wave was repeatedly slashed by Long Chen and struck him. Long Chen endured a tremendous force, while the remaining force was borne by the Dragon Blood warriors. The remaining force was no longer deadly.
When the academy's disciples "swam" back from the horizon, they saw that all the surrounding islands had been wiped out. The previous enemies had long since vanished, and even the Human Emperor expert had no trace of his bones.
"That's also... This is terrifying! Guo Ran and the others were all stunned.
"What level of existence is that?" Xia Chen's voice trembled; clearly, he was frightened too. In front of that giant turtle, the so-called Human Emperor was like dust.
"Respected human powerhouse, that was an unintentional act just now. Old Turtle had no intention to offend me. Please forgive me." Just then, the ancient voice of the giant turtle echoed from afar.
To everyone's surprise, the giant turtle actually apologized to them, and judging by its tone, it seemed very wary of the crowd.
"Senior, may I ask what your cultivation level is?" Long Chen shouted loudly.
"Old turtle is incompetent. He has wasted countless years and still hasn't broken through to Divine Emperor, stuck at the peak of the Nine Veins Human Emperor." The giant turtle sighed.
"Nine-Meridian Human Emperor?" Long Chen and the others exclaimed in surprise. The Human Emperor Realm actually has nine meridians? Above the Human Emperor realm, it turns out the Divine Emperor is the one.
The giant turtle suddenly stopped, not continuing into the deep sea, but slowly turned around, and a massive head poked out from the surface.
Although everyone was prepared, the moment the massive head emerged from the water, they were still deeply shocked.
The giant turtle's head resembled a flood dragon, with two horns. Chaotic energy swirled in its eyes. Looking into its eyes, even Long Chen felt a chill run down his spine. This old turtle was too powerful, as if its breath could wipe them all out.
"Respected human powerhouse, great Nine-Star successor, do you have any other instructions? If it doesn't run out, the old turtle will have to go deep into the Great Wilderness.
Back then, I wasted too much time here just to fulfill a promise, and looking back now, I feel like I was tricked by them. The old turtle respectfully said to Long Chen.
When it mentioned the great Nine Star successor, Long Chen's heart trembled. He hadn't used any star power at all, yet it recognized him at a glance. Clearly, it must have met other Nine Star successors. In other words, this old turtle had truly lived for endless ages.
Long Chen had many questions he wanted to ask, but just as he opened his mouth, a sense of foreboding stirred his heart, and he couldn't say a word.
"Boss, this guy seems a bit afraid of you. How about he help us wipe out the Brahma Pill Valley directly?" Guo Ran secretly transmitted a message to Long Chen.
Guo Ran's idea was excellent, but Long Chen couldn't do it. He wouldn't ask anyone for help with such things. Besides, he didn't dare get too close to the old turtle, because he knew he could learn many secrets from the turtle, but knowing them meant enduring terrifying karma.
Moreover, the one bearing the consequences of karma is not just him, but everyone present. He may not fear karma, but he could potentially cause the deaths of others.
"Until we meet again,"
Long Chen said without asking anything, simply cupping his fists in greeting.
Only then did the old turtle slowly turn its body, its massive body swimming toward the deep sea until it disappeared, yet the crowd still hadn't recovered from the shock.
"Senior, what is the Human Emperor's bloodline?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask the Qiankun Cauldron.
"Since you already know the name of the Divine Emperor, you don't need to worry about karma. Let me explain the secrets of the Imperial Realm to you." Qiankun Cauldron said.
