After walking for so long, they still could not find any trace of the Spirit Turtle. “How would I know?” Simon said. Although he knew of the secret here, he had never passed through the mechanisms to arrive here. “Let’s head deeper into the passageway.” Thomas could not believe that the Spirit Turtle was dead. Based on the information left behind by the Prince of Orchid, the Spirit Turtle had lived for many years. It was already three thousand years old even a millennium ago. Even if it suffered an injury, it would not die that easily. The two headed deeper into the Snow Cavern. Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the passageway. There was a pool of water covered in a thin mist. Scanning his surroundings, Simon said, “There are no other paths.” Thomas nodded slightly and looked at the pool of water in front of him, “If the Spirit Turtle is still alive, it must have concealed itself beneath the pool.” After saying that, he waved, and catalyzed True Energy
James was confused. He could not understand why Simon was together with his grandfather. Not only that, but why was there a huge turtle chasing after them? The turtle was levitating in mid-air. Looking at the crowd with its bloodshot eyes, it let loose a roar. The deafening roar was like thunder, shaking the mountains and the earth. Some weaker martial artists staggered and fell, and a few were even killed on the spot. Cracks began appearing on the ground. Rumble! Buildings at the Mount Thunder Sect began collapsing. Even the mountain itself was showing signs of an imminent collapse. A single roar from the creature had a devastating impact. “What is that monster?” “We should fall back!” “Run!” The martial artists began to run. Callan and Lucjan were still in the midst of a fierce battle. Even after a few rounds, neither could defeat the other. Callan was gravely injured, but Lucjan was still incapable of defeating him. “What the hell are you doing, Thomas?” Lucjan
Then, Callan charged toward the Spirit Turtle. His speed was extraordinary. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on top of the Spirit Turtle. Then, raising his arm, terrifying True Energy gathered in his palm and descended from the sky, which struck the Spirit Turtle’s head. However, the Spirit Turtle had thick skin. Even though Callan’s power was great and his True Energy was unparalleled, he could not deal any substantive damage to the Spirit Turtle. After being attacked, the Spirt Turtle was enraged and slammed its tail against Callan. Callan was struck and immediately sent flying, Then, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Even before this, he was already gravely injured. Upon seeing the Spirit Turtle and hearing that its blood could grant one immortality, he hastily made a move. However, he had severely underestimated the Spirit Turtle. After being struck by its tail, his condition deteriorated. After the Spirit Turtle sent Callan flying, Thomas immediately acted. He knew that
With Bennett Caden joining the fray, there were now four eighth-rank martial artists fighting against the Spirit Turtle─Thomas Caden, Simon Cabral, Winston Blithe, and Bennett himself. Each of them stood at a corner and performed their own signature martial art skill. Four beams of True Energy struck the Spirit Turtle. However, the Spirit Turtle’s shell was impenetrable. Even eighth-rank martial artists could not even make a dent. Rumble! Powerful waves of True Energy swept the surroundings, and the nearby mountains disintegrated. Below, many lay dead. Some weaker martial artists were already dead, whereas some stronger ones were injured. Essentially, everyone below the third rank was fleeing for their lives. Watching the fierce battle in the sky, James’ face darkened. He had gone to great lengths to exterminate the Gu Sect, but he never thought that his grandfather, Thomas, would be the mastermind behind the scenes. He even gathered all the martial artists here at the Mo
All of them were injured. Some were even lying on stretchers. Looking at Jackson Cabral who was in the lead, James asked, “What happened, Sect Leader Cabral?” Wearing a grim expression, Jackson said, “We can no longer leave. An army has appeared with artilleries, tanks, armored cars, and even combat aircraft outside the Mount Thunder Sect. We were attacked while trying to flee. Many were killed.” “An army?” James and Maxine exclaimed at the same time. “Yes.” Jackson’s expression was solemn. James asked, “Which army?” Jackson shook his head. “I don’t know.” “This is obvious enough, no? This must be the King’s plot. He plans to exterminate all martial artists inside Mount Thunder Sect.” “Damn it! My ancestors once fought side by side with the Old King and performed major meritorious services. The new King plans to get rid of us all now that the nation is at peace because he’s intimidated by our martial prowess.”Many spoke exasperatedly. James frowned, “What should we
Human desires were infinite, especially the desire to live forever. No one was unafraid of death. The longer one lived, the more afraid of death one would be. If the blood of the Spirit Turtle truly allowed one to attain immortality, there would be a fierce battle amongst the martial artists after they slayed it. Who would be the last one standing? James had no idea. He simply observed the battle from afar. In the sky, the martial artists all performed their own signature martial art skills. Waves after waves of True Energy struck the Spirit Turtle. “Roar!” Enraged, the Spirit Turtle’s tail lashed out. The powerful force sent three martial artists flying. They vomited a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. As he watched the intense battle, James’ heart skipped a beat. The Spirit Turtle seemed invincible. It was unscathed despite being attacked by so many martial artists from all sides. Not only that, the attackers seemed to be getting injured one by one. O
At the moment of contact, Thea cried out in pain. Then, she collapsed on the ground and writhed in agony. More blood came pouring down. In an instant, Thea was covered in a pool of blood. Lying on the ground, she lost consciousness. As the Spirit Turtle fled, the others gave chase. Enraged, the Spirit Turtle gathered strength and turned to face its pursuers once more. The fierce battle raged on for hours. The Spirit Turtle was fatigued, while the martial artists were injured. Seeing that the time had come, Thomas launched his most powerful attack and sliced the Spirit Turtle’s head off. At that moment, a core fell out. The red core that was as big as a basketball glimmered. “A core?” Upon seeing the core, everyone lost their minds. At that moment, they totally forgot about obtaining the turtle’s blood. They knew that a core would greatly boost their strength. Not only that, this was the core of a thousand-year-old Spirit Turtle. It was worth much more than the tu
Thea was completely covered in the Spirit Turtle’s blood. The blood was boiling, and she felt excruciating pain throughout her body. At the same time, the blood corroded her clothes and entered her body through her skin. She felt power surging into her body and gushing forth into her brain. Then, she lost consciousness. After some time, she regained consciousness. “Argh…” The moment she woke up, she had a mind-splitting headache. She could not help but groan in pain. Boom! At that moment, the sound of an explosion rocked the mountains, and the earth rumbled. She immediately stood up in shock. Then, more explosions came. Boom! Boom! Boom! Thea began panicking. Meanwhile, James was with Jackson. The Spirit Turtle had been slain, and its core had fragmented into many tiny pieces. Many powerful martial artists were duking it out for the core. Both of them were planning to head over to the battlefield to observe the situation when the explosion happened. The two al
