Chapter 623: Chapter 618: Seas Calm and Rivers Clear, No Waves Stirring

Whether it was the Spirit Turtle or the Dragon Turtle, both creatures had overlooked Qin Feng.

It wasn’t that Qin Feng’s strength wasn’t high enough; it was that the Dragon Turtle was solely focused on seizing what might be the last few centuries of its life–a straw to grasp that could potentially allow it to break through its cultivation restrictions and achieve longevity.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Turtle was constantly alarmed by its innate divine ability, causing it to be occupied with fear.

Thus, in that instant, they forgot about Qin Feng.

Of course, this also had to do with Qin Feng’s comparatively smaller stature.

In the eyes of the Dragon Turtle, the diminutive humans were just as insignificant as ants are to humans; they simply weren’t taken seriously.

But Qin Feng was no ant, and his small size did not mean he was weak in power!

Not to mention that the Spirit Turtle had already become his spiritual beast, the main target for his study and prediction techniques and cultivating divination divine power, but he was also standing on the back of the Spirit Turtle. The Dragon Turtle, attempting to devour the Spirit Turtle, had no intention of sparing him; one bite would certainly engulf him as well.

Thus, even for his own sake, he couldn’t just stand by. At the critical moment, he twisted the space power around him, counteracting the Dragon Turtle’s devouring attempt, then used space shifting divine power to escape from the Dragon Turtle’s gaping maw.

“Phew…”

With a lingering fear, the Spirit Turtle gasped for breath, and with a grateful look, it glanced up at Qin Feng.

Then, it paddled its limbs and retreated backward.

It didn’t dare turn around; at this moment, the two sides were too close–a mere stretch of the Dragon Turtle’s neck would suffice to reach it!

“Roar…”

The Dragon Turtle opened its mouth and let out an angry roar, its huge eyes glaring resentfully at Qin Feng.

It was this human who spoiled its good chance; otherwise, it could have swallowed the Spirit Turtle while it dodged inadequately.

Nevertheless, even though it had missed an opportunity, it immediately recognized Qin Feng’s cultivation realm, which was just in the Dharma Image Realm like the small Spirit Turtle.

How could such a cultivation realm compare to its 9,000 years of accumulation?

Confidently, the Dragon Turtle roared and twisted its neck to attempt devouring the Spirit Turtle again.

But now on guard, the Spirit Turtle would not let itself be slaughtered so easily. After all, it too was a being of the Dharma Image Realm, only smaller in size and significantly weaker in strength.

However, its smaller size had its advantages, offering far greater agility than the bulky body of the Dragon Turtle.

The Spirit Turtle’s four short limbs churned swiftly, its body moved like lightning, turning in mid-air to dodge the Dragon Turtle’s bites.

Even though the Dragon Turtle’s neck was long, reaching out like an evil dragon leaving its lair, it was ultimately limited by its huge turtle shell. When the Spirit Turtle moved behind it, the Dragon Turtle ultimately found itself unable to reach and could only retract its head in frustration, turning its body around.

The Spirit Turtle was clever, always avoiding a head-on confrontation, continually moving around the massive shell.

Unfortunately, it got somewhat carried away, failing to guard against the Dragon Turtle’s massive tail, which struck like a steel whip tearing through the void. Had the Spirit Turtle not hurriedly assembled an Eight Diagrams Shield using the Eight Trigrams Spiritual Light outside its body, it would have been smashed into the sea by that tail.

Even with the shield promptly deployed, it still suffered a slight loss.

It was because the Dragon Turtle’s power was too immense; a strike from its tail caused the protective shield to flicker uncertainly, cracking it and almost breaking through to hit the Spirit Turtle directly.

Taking advantage of the force, the Spirit Turtle retreated, flying thousands of meters away, attempting to flee.

Perhaps it was due to an inherent fear of the Dragon Turtle or perhaps its innate divine ability’s calculations had instinctively informed it that it was no match, so it never considered fighting the Dragon Turtle and was solely focused on escaping.

But how could the Dragon Turtle let go of what might be its last chance in life? Quickly turning around, its legs, like giant columns supporting the heavens, stirred up hundreds of feet high waves as it powerfully pursued the Spirit Turtle, determined not to let it go!

Although the Dragon Turtle appeared somewhat bulky due to its large body, it was actually quite fast. In just a few steps, it had covered more than a dozen miles, catching up to the Spirit Turtle.

Just as the Spirit Turtle’s spiritual light flickered, preparing to shoot straight into the sky to escape from above, it suddenly saw a massive wave rise in front of it and surge towards him.

Breaking the wave with a spell, and then from behind, tens of thousands of water arrows covered the void densely, each arrow whistling through the void, mighty in its own right.

The Dragon Turtle was an exotic species spiritual beast, a blood descendent born from the mix of a True Dragon and a huge turtle–half dragon, half turtle–naturally wondrous, not only with a long life span and boundless strength but also innate divine ability in water manipulation.

In this moment, to stop the Spirit Turtle from escaping and for the chance of its own Dao proving, it staked its old life, utilizing all its capabilities, ready to pay any price to keep the Spirit Turtle.

Otherwise, if it could not prove the Immortal Dao, it would only have a few hundred years of life left.

For the Human Clan, a few hundred years were enough to reproduce across many generations; for many races with short lifespans, it was even a long and extensive history, but for a species like the Dragon Turtle’s, known for its longevity, it was all too brief.

It might have lasted just a few moments in a nap, but it definitely didn’t want to die dizzily in its sleep!

The Spirit Turtle had Eight Trigrams of Spirit Light continuously flowing around its body, defending against countless water arrows. Having barely endured this wave, there came countless water guns, water tridents, water blades, and water razors, all shooting towards it like a blanket from the sky. Moreover, more than a dozen slender water twisters carrying streams of water shot up to the clouds like ropes, sweeping toward it.

Even though it desperately used spells, the Eight Trigrams Spirit Light managed to scatter and extinguish innumerable water guns and water blades and subdued many water tornadoes. For the time being, it wasn’t on the losing side, but it also lost any chance to escape.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

The Dragon Turtle couldn’t help but let out an aged yet smug laugh: “Little Spirit Turtle, do you think you can escape my control? It’s better for you to be obediently devoured by me, rather than suffering the agony of soul extraction and spirit refining again!”

“Hmph!”

The Spirit Turtle did not speak, but Qin Feng, standing on its back, snorted coldly, “You’re that confident, truly thinking you’ve got us under your thumb?”

“Human Clan Cultivators!”

The Dragon Turtle glanced at Qin Feng indifferently: “I don’t wish for complications. If you retreat now, I won’t stop you. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless and swallowing you whole!”

“Heh heh…”

Qin Feng sneered: “This Spirit Turtle has already submitted to me, how can I possibly let you devour it for no reason?”

“Another charlatan enslaving my Demon Clan as servants!”

Disgust flickered in the Dragon Turtle’s eyes: “A millennia ago, a Human Clan Cultivator also wanted to take me to help him guard the Mountain Gate, but I swallowed that guy and refined him completely. Looks like today, I might just add another one to keep him company.”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes: “You want to eat me, but let’s see if you have the capability!”

While speaking, he waved his hand grandly, summoning his many Spiritual Beasts, chuckling, “You want to devour my Spiritual Beasts as an opportunity for evolution, to become food for advancement; interestingly, I was thinking the same!”

“Hmm?”

Suddenly seeing several ferocious Spiritual Beasts appear out of the void, the Dragon Turtle was taken aback.

However, it harbored no fear at all, being at the Primordial Spirit Peak and just one step away from achieving the Immortal Dao, a top-level Great Demon, it wouldn’t get flustered by a few Spiritual Beasts.

Besides, most of these beasts were only mediocre in strength, with only a large black dog stepping into its Realm, and it could tell at a glance that the black dog, about several tens of meters long, had only just entered this Realm. Compared to it, which had stayed in the Primordial Spirit Realm for thousands of years, the dog was hardly a match.

Thus, it didn’t pay much attention to the number of Spiritual Beasts; after all, the power discrepancy was glaring, and it, being a defense-strong Dragon Turtle, was hardly something ordinary Dharma Image Demon Beasts could damage, let alone crack its thick Turtle Shell and hurt its original body.

So, it was merely surprised for a moment, then didn’t pay much attention, still fixing its gaze firmly on the Spirit Turtle and then on Qin Feng.

The Spirit Turtle was its intended devouring target, and Qin Feng was the master of these beasts.

As long as Qin Feng was killed, those Spiritual Beasts would pose no threat!

Thus, it roared again, and its massive turtle foot slapped on the sea surface, immediately causing waves to rise hundreds of feet high, billions of water droplets shooting towards Qin Feng like arrows.

“Mere insect tricks!”

Qin Feng paid no heed: “If you want to kill me, you should show some real skill. With just these ordinary means, you think you can compete with me?”

As he spoke, he swept his wide sleeve, a Water Element Principle sweeping across the void, suppressing the waves, instantly calming the sea and river, the sky above and water a vast expanse of clear blue!

“Huh?”

The Dragon Turtle looked at Qin Feng in surprise, having previously seen him employ Space Shifting Divine Power, it had thought his prowess lay in the Space Law – after all, its devouring power was formidable, and without the suppression of the Space Law, it absolutely could not resist its powerful devouring.

But now, Qin Feng had given up on Space Law and was playing with Water Element Principle right in front of it!

That was indeed…

The Dragon Turtle obviously didn’t know the proverb about showing off in front of Guan Emperor Temple, but just from a glance, though Qin Feng’s control of the Water Element Principle wasn’t weak, it was still far inferior compared to its own.

However, it didn’t bother competing over the Water Element Principle with Qin Feng and suddenly leaped from the water, its huge body slamming straight toward Qin Feng.

With a thunderous boom, the entire void seemed about to shatter, the seawater around it forced down by its overwhelming strength, leaving a gigantic trench along its path.

The Dragon Turtle planned to rely on its strongest advantage, its unparalleled power to forcibly crush this Human; if there were any Spiritual Beasts in its way, it didn’t mind smashing them to pulp!

In its many millennia of battles, it had often relied on its own strength to burst opponents; this time, it planned to repeat the old trick, crushing all directions!
