Chapter 799: Revolving Turtle
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“When the moon sets in the wee hours of the morning, when the seven stars string like beads, when the earth veins converge, the Heaven Deity Palace opens…”
On the Dragon Horse Plain, Fang Yuan carried the Blood Imbibing Saber and raised his head to see starlight descending.
“It’s there. Hopefully, I’m not late!”
He moved rapidly to the entrance of the Heaven Deity Palace and looked at that huge pitch-black hole, not saying a word.
“So aggressive, so demonic!”
When Heavenly Eye Seer Spell was unleashed, many traces resembling Dao Marks immediately appeared in the void, causing him to know that there was a peerless saber wielder battling an exceptional demon here earlier.
“Aggressive? Saber Qi? Was it Ba Dao? And the only person who could fight against him is Sky Fiend Dao Master, right?
“Looking at the traces, the two of them should have directly fought into the Heaven Deity Palace? Furthermore… there are many experts around!”
Fang Yuan looked at the huge hole in the ground and muttered, “The Heaven Deity Palace only opens for six hours each time. If they don’t exit before this, they’ll be immediately trapped within the earth veins. Outsiders are unable to comprehend its profundity. Anyway, there’s nobody that can escape from this place alive after twenty years.
“Good and evil are inseparable? Isn’t it bad to keep on fighting? Why not directly cooperate to investigate the treasures…”
Fang Yuan shook his head and walked into the hole.
Of course, he did not know that even Sky Fiend Dao Master was not that insane. However, he had no choice if he encountered Ba Dao.
The passage was very long. He used his lightness skill, and after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, he finally reached the end.
At Fang Yuan’s stage, his eyesight was outstanding and could see anything in the darkness. At the end of the pitch-black channel, a bright light suddenly appeared along with a gushing sound.
Water? Fang Yuan thought, going directly to the end.
What entered his sight was a huge pool.
No, it could no longer be described as a pool, but as a huge underground lake!
Many shimmering gems resembling diamonds were mounted on the rock face with an unknown height and released a brilliance similar to stars.
With such brilliance, Fang Yuan could clearly see the buildings located at the center of the lake.
“Underground cave? A half-plane similar to a heavenly abode wonderland?”
Fang Yuan was somewhat doubtful, sensing that the massive spiritual aura in the lake was seemingly connected with a few undercurrents with unfathomable depths.
Pa! Pa!
He leaped out from the tunnel and stood steadily on the lake.
Ripples spread beneath his shoes, yet even the soles of his shoes were not wet, revealing a cultivation with horrifying inner strength control.
“Although there are many spiritual beings here, the Four Mutated Beast who can truly form medicine are certainly within that palace!”
Beneath Fang Yuan’s feet, ripples suddenly spread as he rapidly flew toward the palace.
Wa! Wa!
A sound resembling an infant’s cry rang out. In the water beneath his feet, tens of shadows converged. They looked just like huge tadpoles with limbs growing out of them. Their mouths were huge and revealed sharp, snow-white teeth.
“Giant salamanders?!”
With a light tap of his foot, an arrow of water condensed and pierced into one of the shadows.
Wa! Wa!
The infant’s cry suddenly became piercing, and the unfortunate giant salamander was directly penetrated. It rolled over and floated up to the water surface, revealing spots of blood containing traces of golden blood on its stomach.
“Golden Silk Blood Salamanders are rumored to be treasures of the heavens and the earth. If an ordinary person were to eat them, they would strengthen their muscles and bones and vitalize their Qi and blood. If a martial artist eats them periodically, their martial arts will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Even those martial artists from the holy grounds wouldn’t achieve such extravagant results!”
Blood spread and a stench diffused.
The remaining tens of Golden Silk Blood Salamanders were not frightened away but instead became more insane. They leaped out of the water, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and bit at Fang Yuan.
“Hmph!”
Fang Yuan snorted coldly and casually waved his Blood Imbibing Saber.
Zap!
Saber light flickered, cutting many Golden Silk Blood Salamanders into two. Vast quantities of blood splattered in all four directions, which were then devoured by the purplish-red veins on the Blood Imbibing Saber.
The glow on the Blood Imbibing Saber was even stronger, and the immensely agitated voice of the Sanguine Demon rang out. Haha… These Golden Silk Blood Salamanders can truly replenish a lot. When I devour one, it’s equivalent to absorbing the essence blood of more than ten martial artists…. Nangong Wuwang, please continue!
“If they don’t disturb me, why would I disturb them?”
Fang Yuan shook his head and directly walked toward the palace.
The remaining giant salamanders dispersed noisily and did not dare to glance back.
Bloop! Bloop!
At this moment, many air bubbles appeared from underwater.
A large, circular shadow appeared from the bottom of the water. It became larger and larger, turning into a millstone, a house, and then a small mountain shortly after!
Splash!
Finally, the shadow completely emerged from the water and revealed its true appearance.
It was a huge black turtle with algae and moss on its back, and it looked like a small mountain! Its size was such that thousands of Fang Yuans could not be compared to it, and each of its roars was like earth-shattering thunder.
Moo! Moo!
Two eyes that looked like water tanks peeped out from dark cavities, and it released a loud roar that resembled a dragon as well as an elephant.
Whoosh whoosh!
Fierce winds blew and waves swept in all directions, as if a windstorm and a tornado were about to arrive simultaneously.
“This is… the Revolving Turtle?!”
Fang Yuan moved forward instead of retreating, directly flying onto the back of this mystical turtle. “Is this turtle one of the Four Mutated Beasts of the Heaven Deity Palace? If so, getting its blood is going to be somewhat difficult!”
The defenses of the Revolving Turtle were naturally immensely horrifying. Not to mention, with its size, even if he plunged the entire Blood Imbibing Saber into it, it was unlikely to penetrate its shell.
Furthermore, wanting to refine the blood of a Mutated Beast into a pill that could lengthen lifespan had to use its essence blood. Normal fresh blood would not work! This increased the difficulty by another level!
Smack!
Fang Yuan’s feet landed steadily, as if he had arrived on a small island that could rapidly move about.
Chi! Chi!
Among the stones and mountains on the turtle’s back, many roars sounded. They were from the ferocious beasts residing on the mystical turtle’s back, and they launched an aggressive attack at Fang Yuan.
Among them, there were creatures like water rats and flying fishes with wings. There were bizarre oddities of every description.
“Omnidirectional Bloodlust!”
Fang Yuan waved his Blood Imbibing Saber. After this saber had devoured two fragments, its sharpness had increased by another level. With a slight flick, blood waves shot into the sky and innumerable ferocious beasts were dismembered within the torrents of saber light. Furthermore, an astral saber directly split open soil and stone, revealing the actual lines on the Revolving Turtle’s shell.
Moo! Moo!
Just as the Saber Qi was about to land on its body, the Revolving Turtle roared and started revolving before entering into the water.
Bloop! Bloop!
A horrifying power instantly threw Fang Yuan off into the water.
In the midst of darkness, he suddenly noticed that pair of horrifying eyes. An undercurrent gathered in front of him just like a python opening its mouth and devouring him in one mouthful.
…
Rumble!
After an unknown period of time, the Revolving Turtle suddenly became insane, endlessly tumbling about on the water surface and wandering in all directions. Suddenly, it crashed into the palace at the center of the lake.
Although it was called a palace, there were also thousands of buildings that formed a vast area on the island in the lake’s center.
Amid the vigorous vibrations, the Revolving Turtle crawled onto land and roared at the sky, its sound shaking all directions. Even an outsider was able to sense the intensely painful emotions as it finally collapsed.
Poof!
A blood-red astral saber appeared from inside the Revolving Turtle as a flesh passage was forcefully opened.
A torrent of blood escaped from the passage, and a faint human silhouette appeared from within.
“Sanguine Demon, have you eaten your full?”
Fang Yuan waved his saber, and the blood light around him immediately dispersed.
With this layer of blood light as a defense, even his clothes were not corroded in the least.
Keke… Really not bad! The ecstatic voice of the Sanguine Demon sounded from the Blood Imbibing Saber. In the end, this Revolving Turtle was merely a beast and dared to swallow anything. It was really unfortunate this time!
Originally, with the horrifying physique and digestive abilities of this Revolving Turtle, even a Heavenly Phenomenon who entered its stomach might not be able to do anything.
However, it was different for Fang Yuan, who wielded the Blood Imbibing Saber.
Directly from inside the turtle, he fought using blood and caused a huge ruckus before finally forcefully breaking out and taking this giant beast’s life.
At this moment, the Blood Imbibing Saber was completely blood-red, and its glow was incomparable enticing. It looked stuffed.* “*… This time, the nourishment was equivalent to the blood sacrifice of ten thousand people.”
“I’m not sure if this Revolving Turtle was one of the Four Mutated Beasts. If it truly was, it really wasn’t worth it for its blood to be swallowed by you!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes gleamed.
“Don’t worry. At worst, I can purify out some of the essence blood later. When it comes to the Dao of Flesh and Blood, there is no existence that surpasses me in this world!” The Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul was coldly arrogant. “Furthermore, this Revolving Turtle’s blood may truly be able to lengthen lifespan. I can sense a pulsating life aura within it!”
“If what you said is true, isn’t it sufficient to refine lifespan lengthening pills for tens of people?”
Fang Yuan was somewhat flabbergasted. “Isn’t it said that getting the blood is… very difficult?”
“That depends on who’s doing it. With your abilities, you may not necessarily be defeated even if you encounter the foremost experts of the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao… In addition, this Revolving Turtle didn’t know any better and directly swallowed you! Of course, the most important thing is still fate!”
The Sanguine Demon said, “Some martial artists did not encounter any Mutated Beasts even though they were in the Heaven Deity Palace for a while. However, this turtle voluntarily came to trouble you once you landed. If not for fate, what is it?”
Of course, when a good opportunity came, one had to grab it.
If it were an ordinary person, it would have been a catastrophe.
Even if there were other Heavenly Phenomenon martial artists, they might not have been able to defeat this Revolving Turtle, much less obtain its blood.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Fang Yuan raised his head and saw two silhouettes rapidly approaching.
“It’s actually the Mutated Beast Revolving Turtle!” A middle-aged scholar saw this giant turtle, and a look of wild joy appeared. “The blood of the Revolving Turtle is the most ample. Without purifying, it’s very difficult for it to be used in medicine that lengthens lifespan, but it isn’t too problematic to greatly enhance cultivation power! Coming across this can be considered my fate!”
Beside him, another person with a white robe and unrestrained demeanor looked around with a pair of lively eyes that strangely had a look of sadness as well.
When he saw Fang Yuan, a gleam suddenly erupted in his pupils.
“Nangong Wuwang!” Chen Qiyou shouted hatefully. This resentment could not be washed away even with all the waters in the Five Lakes and Four Oceans.
“What, this person is Nangong Wuwang?”
Kong Fanxing was astonished, and a ruler appearing to be made of jade appeared in his hands.
“Righteousness Ruler? You’re from the Kong family?”
Fang Yuan looked at these two with a playful look on his face.
