Chapter 2296: Stop
In the Original Realm where the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path were, there was a terrifying disturbance in the sky above the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. In the heavens above, menacing dark fissures seemed to appear.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm immediately glanced over towards the direction of the commotion. They saw an extremely astonishing sight. A gigantic Dragon Turtle bearing an ancient ruined city was traversing across the sky. As it did so, it was descending, seemingly approaching the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
The terrifying dark fissures seemed to consume everything.
What was that?
Countless cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm witnessed this awe-inspiring scene. They were greatly affected as this scene was too shocking.
Not only were they looking at the gigantic Dragon Turtle, but they were also glancing at the cultivators around it. Each of these cultivators was a top figure. They were actually following the Dragon Turtle, which was carrying an ancient ruined city on its back as it advanced.
What did they want?
“Lord Taixuan is also among them!” someone exclaimed. Many people spotted Lord Taixuan and the others. The top cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were also there. It was not just them; the cultivators from various top forces were all there.
“Retreat!” someone cried out. The Dragon Turtle was advancing at a frightening speed, descending towards them. No one knew where it would land. It was likely that it would crash on the outskirts of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Many cultivators were already beginning to retreat.
In the sky, Lord Taixuan looked towards the direction where the Dragon Turtle was moving. He could not help but frown when he traced its trajectory. It was highly likely that it would collide with the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
However, they had no means of preventing it from doing so. Although more and more cultivators were rushing over to where they were, they were still severely outnumbered. They could not block the Dragon Turtle’s path. They had attempted to do so many times along the way.
“It’s getting close!” someone shouted. The cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm dispersed. The Dragon Turtle descended in an imposing manner. It appeared like an evil demon that wanted to consume everything. With an ancient city on its back, it descended upon the lands on the outskirts of the Heavenly Mandate Realm and crashed right into it.
Rumble. The Dragon Turtle crashed into the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Terrifying fissures appeared on the ground, followed by earth and debris scattering everywhere. The frightening jet-black fissures consumed everything. It was as though the heavens and earth were collapsing. At that moment, the entire Heavenly Mandate Realm felt a tremor. The closer they were to this place, the more intense the tremor felt.
There were even frightening cracks that propagated far into the distance. It seemed as though the land was being ripped apart. It was a catastrophe.
Down below, the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy unleashed the divine light of the Great Path, sweeping away a group who had not managed to get away, thereby protecting them.
The Dragon Turtle’s advance was not hindered too greatly. It continued downwards, penetrating the Heavenly Mandate Realm. The lands along the boundary were immediately reduced to rubble and later consumed by the jet-black fissures.
After the Dragon Turtle left, Lord Taixuan and the others left the people they had saved at a safe location before continuing to pursue it.
The cultivators bowed slightly at Lord Taixuan and the others. Emotions welled up in them for having survived a disaster. The scene just now was too terrifying. They lowered their heads and peered down below. Their hearts still trembled intensely beyond their control. What exactly was that thing?
There seemed to be a grave on the back of the Dragon Turtle.
After piercing through the Heavenly Mandate Realm, the Dragon Turtle had completely entered the region of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. It was still advancing further. This Dragon Turtle, which had wandered in the vast void for countless years, had finally arrived in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, where there were cultivators.
“We must stop it,” said Lord Taixuan. It was too dangerous to allow this to continue. No one knew which continent the Dragon Turtle would crash into. Once it did, the continent would be reduced to rubble.
The Dragon Turtle was still moving forward. More cultivators rushed over to where they were. Many powerful existences had survived divine tribulations of the Great Path. They were also chasing after the Dragon Turtle.
Above the Heavenly Mandate Realm, two silhouettes suddenly appeared. They were Ye Futian and Old Ma. The two of them glanced down and saw the shattered lands of the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm as well as the terrifying fissures of the Great Path.
“Let’s go.” The two of them stepped forward and pursued the terrifying aura. Ye Futian frowned. As expected, the thing he was worried about had occurred. The Dragon Turtle had actually descended upon the lands of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. It had even shattered the boundary of the Heavenly Mandate Realm and was moving further into the region.
Divine Light of Space shone. Old Ma’s speed was extremely fast as he traversed the space and chased after the aura. As they made their way over, Ye Futian and Old Ma saw a broken continent. Countless rubble was floating in the space. More than half of the entire continent was consumed by dark fissures.
When Ye Futian saw this scene, and his heart was extremely heavy. The worst possible outcome had occurred. The Dragon Turtle had collided with a continent and shattered it.
Finally, they sensed the terrifying aura ahead and knew that they were close.
The two of them continued forward and finally saw the Dragon Turtle.
Right then, in the space surrounding where the Dragon Turtle was traversing, many top cultivators appeared. Most of them were existences who had survived divine tribulations of the Great Path. The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm were all present. They seemed to have reached an agreement and were preparing to join forces to stop the Dragon Turtle from advancing. It was not because the other forces pitied the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, but rather that allowing the Dragon Turtle to continue moving would make it more difficult to claim the ruined city on its back. It was best if they could trap it here and stop it in its tracks.
In front of the Dragon Turtle, a heavenly bulwark seemed to appear. Tens of thousands of runes lit up. It was extremely dazzling. The Dragon Turtle crashed right into the bulwark. Cracks appeared on its surface. However, the next moment, a Gate of World Suppression appeared there. It was like an ancient door of the gods that could suppress everything in this world. Wangshen Watchtower also blocked the Dragon Turtle’s path. Millet Emperor had appeared.
Rumble. Terrifying rumbling sounds caused the space to tremble violently. Even the Gate of World Suppression was penetrated, and Wangshen Watchtower was knocked backward. However, the advance of the Dragon Turtle was beginning to weaken.
After that, other cultivators appeared one by one. Various incredibly powerful figures had arrived. Emperor Xi and Renhuang Chen also attacked. This time, the cultivators of the three major realms were actually exceptionally united in their efforts to stop the Dragon Turtle.
The Dragon Turtle began to slow down. It seemed sluggish. It let out a sorrowful cry. Followed by rumbling sounds, the Dragon Turtle finally came to a stop.
In the void, it seemed as though an ancient ruined city had appeared out of thin air.
From within the grave, the rhythm could be heard again. It contained an intense sorrow within it. The grave moved once again. The ancient corpses on it also floated up with it. It seemed as though the actions of the crowd had incurred the wrath of the grave.
It appeared that there was indeed life within it.
Ye Futian stared straight ahead. He faintly sensed that this Dragon Turtle had not stopped because the others had blocked its path, but rather the power that drove it had caused it to stop. Otherwise, it would most likely still have been difficult for the various top cultivators to prevent the Dragon Turtle from advancing.
Master said that the Dragon Turtle was seeking its way home. Could it be that the owner of the grave was making his way home?
