Chapter 790: Divine Turtle
Heaven-Shaker · 第790章 神龟
Hearing Yang Tian's inquiry, Qishi sighed with emotion. These Great Shamans were the twelve primordial demons, with unmatched physical strength, each possessing heaven-reaching cultivation, and in that era they had the power to shake heaven and earth.
The Twelve Heavenly Fiend Formation that Yang Tian had obtained in the past was a great killing formation from that era. Although the twelve ancestral shamans had vanished, their essence blood still existed. If it could be awakened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This thing is similar to divine blood. They are a race that vanished in the mythical era. If the essence blood of the Great Shamans can be awakened, they would become an extraordinary existence in the future," Qishi said.
"Similar to a divine body," Yang Tian nodded to himself. But the inheritance of the ancestral shamans was far more ancient. The ancestral shaman bloodline was severely incomplete, and awakening it would not be a simple matter.
Yang Tian began to move toward the demon lair. The treasure inside, as Qishi boasted, was terrifyingly powerful, and he wanted to see it for himself.
Rumble! The entire scene descended into chaos.大批 demon clan experts emerged, and endless killing light began to shroud this land.
Many experts bled, even those at the ancestor level were no exception. The demon clan experts feared neither life nor death, pressing down on heaven and earth until they trembled. Many people were devoured—a terrifying scene.
The Treasure Tree radiated celestial light that shot into the sky. It took root beside the mist-shrouded Dao palace, like a guardian, shaking and killing the charging experts.
Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Tree was terrifying, being the natural enemy of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree had borne its thirty-first ginseng fruit, greatly increasing its strength.
In fact, the cultivation of the Ginseng Fruit Tree was not limited to this. They had lain dormant in this small world, as if to ward off calamity, and could not use their full power, otherwise they would suffer disaster. This Bloodthirsty Demon Tree was also a strand of its avatar; both were the most terrifying avatars of the undying.
"Lord Demon, the Earth Book is inside this Dao palace!" The Demon Maiden's body exuded astonishing allure. Her eyes were seductive as she giggled.
Hearing about the Earth Book, a flicker of surprise shot from the Demon's eyelids. In the past, when he had tried to seize the Earth Book in this small world, he had nearly been killed by that supreme treasure of heaven and earth.
"The Earth Book appears again. It seems the River Chart and Luo Writing will also emerge alongside it!" The Demon murmured, divine light constantly blooming in his eyes, his thoughts unknown.
"Lord Demon, as long as our clan obtains the Earth Book, the Demon Lord's supreme hegemony will be within reach!" The Demon Maiden laughed.
The Demon did not speak. The Earth Book was not something anyone could take. Along with the Investiture of the Gods and the Book of Life and Death, it was one of the three books of heaven, earth, and man. He who obtains the three books can rule the world!
The Dao palace appeared utterly ordinary, but inside it concealed boundless killing intent. Only those with a karmic connection to this book could obtain it!
Everyone wanted this thing. The Demon's eyes suddenly opened wide. "Now that this fortune has been seized by our clan, the Earth Book will eventually be ours. Moreover, the River Chart is beneath the demon lair. It seems the time has come to take it away."
"The Lord Demon speaks wisely..." The Demon Maiden's body exuded wildness as she giggled. "I never expected the Lord had already found the River Chart. Truly a great fortune for our clan!"
"Haha, indeed..." The Demon laughed heartily. In the past, sealed underground, he had spent endless ages refining a supplementary divine ability, and thus found an unexpected treasure beneath.
The River Chart was extremely mysterious, containing the eight trigrams and the six directions. If one could comprehend even a hint of its divine power, it would be terrifying.
This thing was born of heaven and earth, containing the mysteries of the Dao. It was extremely mysterious, no ordinary object, and even the Demon's heart trembled at it.
The small world began to stain with blood. Yang Tian fought his way through, his golden divine staff smashing countless experts. Now he arrived at the edge of the demon lair.
"All of you, get lost!" The golden divine staff swept out like a ribbon, its terrifying ripples冲击 the surroundings, driving back the surging demon clan experts.
"It's here. Hurry down. This place was originally a treasure land of Five Villages Temple," Qishi urged.
Hearing this, Yang Tian gritted his teeth and hesitated no more. His form slowly faded, and he appeared below the demon lair.
"Senior, although it was a treasure land, it has been occupied by the demon clan for so long. Will anything still be here?" Yang Tian scratched his head and couldn't help asking.
Anyone would covet a treasure. Would the demon clan leave a mountain of gold untouched?
"There will definitely be something. This object is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, and a sacred one at that. The demon clan probably hasn't discovered it. Even if they have, they can't take it away," Qishi clamored.
Like the Earth Book, once someone approached, it would conceal itself—very mysterious.
Seeing a demon emerge from underground, Yang Tian was about to attack when Qishi emitted a white light that enveloped his body.
"We can't alert them. If that demon lord finds us down here, that treasure will be exposed," Qishi said.
Yang Tian nodded. He waved his hand in front of the demon's eyes, but the demon didn't notice him at all. Yang Tian marveled.
"What wondrous technique did Qishi use? This demon didn't see me at all..." Yang Tian thought to himself. This ability was very mysterious.
Dodging one demon after another, he followed Qishi's guidance and gradually descended.
It was pitch black inside, with many caves. Walking through them made him dizzy. After who knows how long, Yang Tian reached the end of the cavern.
Qishi's apertures emitted golden divine light, piercing through the earth. After a moment, he laughed, "It's right below."
Hearing this, Yang Tian's eyes fell on the ground. He rubbed his nose and asked, "Should I break through this ground?"
"Use earth遁术. Breaking through would make too much noise. That strange treasure is hidden at the deepest point. Hurry, hurry..." Qishi urged, showing the importance of the treasure.
"Uh..." Yang Tian was very embarrassed. What was this earth遁术? He asked very sheepishly...
"Damn it! You know the Dao Scripture but not earth遁术!" Qishi went wild, howling loudly.
Shrugging, Yang Tian looked helpless. He really didn't know earth遁术. He had never even heard of such an ability.
"Senior, why don't you take me down? I've never heard of this ability," Yang Tian said shamelessly.
"Alright, alright. Now that you've comprehended the earth rule, you'll learn it in no time." Qishi sighed, and a wisp of golden light shot out, drilling into Yang Tian's brow.
A series of profound characters appeared in his mind. Yang Tian pondered for a moment and suddenly understood.
So earth遁术 used the earth rule to merge one's body into the soil, becoming one with the earth. Truly marvelous.
A stream of earthy yellow light enveloped Yang Tian's body. After experimenting a bit, his body began to merge into the ground.
"Truly marvelous. I've become one with the earth. This could be a useful technique in battle." Yang Tian grinned.
"No ambition. This is just a minor spell. Hurry down." Qishi couldn't help sneering.
Traveling through the earth, Yang Tian's speed was not slow at all. But the treasure was hidden very deep. After about half a cup of tea's time, Yang Tian arrived at a cave.
It was a stalactite cave, with the sound of dripping water echoing within.
The spiritual energy here was extremely abundant, making it a true treasure land. Following Qishi's guidance, Yang Tian came to a lake.
"Come out quickly..." Qishi floated above the lake, shouting, causing the lake to ripple.
"Is someone in there?" Yang Tian raised an eyebrow, marveling inwardly. This was the demon clan's sealed land—how could there be a living creature?
Suddenly, the lake water stirred. An ancient stone slab appeared before Yang Tian, emitting profound ripples. The slab was small, only the size of a palm, but the patterns on it gave Yang Tian a sense of ever-changing mystery.
"What is this?" After a few glances, Yang Tian felt dizzy. He rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a small turtle was staring at him.
"A turtle? Where did this turtle come from?" Yang Tian exclaimed in surprise. A living creature here—unbelievable.
"You're the turtle! Your whole family are turtles! I am the great Divine Turtle!" The creature was enraged, howling loudly, looking as if it wanted to devour Yang Tian—very ferocious.
Yang Tian's face was full of black lines. His eyelids twitched. Divine Turtle? Hadn't he encountered a terrifying dragon turtle in the East Sea?
