Chapter 1798 Awe at a Prodigy!
at the same time,
An indescribable, terrifying force swept in from all directions, crushing down from above, below, left, right, and every dimension!
This force was not a simple physical compression, but was directly eroding his protective demonic aura, his flesh and bones, and the immense magical power he had cultivated for thousands of years.
and even……
His fundamental law!
click!
Kaka! !
This time, it wasn't just the mournful cry of the protective divine light of the Xuan Turtle Clan Demon Lord that was heard.
Even the crimson barrier void suppressed by the [Hellish Annihilation Millstone] itself began to twist violently, revealing spiderweb-like black cracks.
It was as if even this world could not fully withstand the sudden increase in destructive power.
"Ugh—!"
The Xuan Turtle Clan Demon Lord let out a painful groan, his once vast and powerful demon lord aura...
At this moment, it is rapidly declining and languishing, like the receding tide.
He could clearly "hear" the fundamental law deep within his spiritual body, the law that represented the root of his life and path...
It is being crushed, stripped away, and reduced to nothingness little by little by that invisible millstone!
In a fleeting instant, less than a fraction of a second of life and death...
His original source of laws had been forcibly erased by one percent!
We can't wait any longer!
We must break this deadlock immediately!
otherwise……"
The Xuan Turtle Clan Demon Lord roared inwardly, a bone-chilling cold shooting from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
"In a short while, once the source of the law is depleted by more than 30%, I will be powerless to fight back!"
Fifty percent, a drop in realm!
Seventy percent of them were utterly devastated!
100%...
Their body and soul are annihilated, never to be reincarnated!
The shadow of death has never been so clear, so close!
The thought of that utter demise sent shivers down the spine of this ancient demon lord who had lived for countless millennia.
Then, all the hesitation, fear, and resentment in his eyes transformed into an almost insane determination!
It's a kind of ruthlessness that comes from being driven to the brink of despair, willing to burn everything to fight for a sliver of hope!
"It seems...
"The only way to survive this calamity is to use this forbidden method, risking the destruction of ten thousand years of cultivation in an instant, to break this deadly trap!"
Once the mind is made up, life and death are decided!
While one may seem to have a myriad of thoughts, in reality, everything happens in the blink of an eye, less than a fraction of a second!
The pupils of the Xuan Turtle Clan Demon Lord suddenly contracted to the size of needle tips.
Its deepest part...
A glimmer of light, burning with true blood and the very foundation of the laws, suddenly ignited!
next moment.
Within the crimson barrier, the imposing figure standing at the center of the visible crimson storm suddenly trembled.
A loud shout echoed throughout this blood-red world.
"now!"
As the echoes of that voice still reverberated through the blood-red world, and the dark golden tortoise shell had just solidified—
The Great Millstone of Purgatory and Annihilation has moved.
It is not a physical movement.
Instead, the pupils of the countless divine and demonic reliefs on it simultaneously emitted blood-red light that seemed to solidify, creating a deeper resonance with the entire blood-red barrier.
The crimson energy permeating the barrier was no longer a chaotic storm, but rather a storm of chains of laws woven by an invisible hand, imbued with destructive power.
It made a teeth-grinding grinding sound.
They were wrapping around and squeezing the tortoise shell from all directions!
At that very moment...
The force field of the laws finally clashed violently with the shell of the Xuan Turtle!
boom! ! !
It wasn't just a simple loud noise; the sound was like the mournful cry of two worlds colliding!
Instead of trembling, fine, black cracks appeared in the void, like glass, which were then quickly healed by the power of the barrier.
A dazzling light instantly engulfed everything. It wasn't a warm light, but the deathly light that erupted when extreme energy annihilated, illuminating the originally blood-red barrier as if it were daytime.
Yet it also possesses a kind of eerie, destructive brilliance.
It was like the last fireworks before the end of the world.
A moment later!
The intense light gradually faded, but the aftershocks of destructive energy still raged within the barrier, hissing as they passed.
After the dazzling light fades,
The dark golden tortoise shell still stood majestically!
The intricate patterns on the surface flow continuously, evenly dispersing any residual impact force. Aside from a slightly dimmed luster,
There was no sense of breakage whatsoever.
It's still perfectly intact!
Simultaneously.
Inside the tortoise shell, the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan calmed his violently heaving chest slightly, and slowly loosened his clenched fists, his palms covered in cold sweat.
His eyes reflected the gradually calming energy turbulence outside, and the look of fear that almost overflowed from his eyes finally settled and dissipated.
"call……"
He exhaled a heavy breath, his voice trembling with relief, as if he had just survived a calamity.
"Thank goodness we held them off!"
A huge weight lifted from his heart, but a deeper chill followed.
"otherwise!
"My old life is about to end right here and now."
Although he withstood the attack, he was not completely at ease.
Joy is fleeting; the harsh reality washes over you like a cold tide.
You must know that the method he is using now is his strongest defensive technique, and he is holding nothing back!
The key point is...
The muscles on his wrinkled face were taut, and he clearly sensed:
He is now trapped in this mysterious formation, whose power has only just begun to manifest and will undoubtedly grow stronger over time.
But he will fade with time...
The demonic power was constantly being depleted, the divine soul was under continuous pressure, and the origin of the laws was being damaged... among many other factors.
However, their defensive capabilities will continue to decline.
This is an unsolvable, deadly situation!
When the tortoise shell's defensive capabilities decline to a certain level, that will be the time when his soul and body perish and his spirit vanishes!
For this reason, the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan not only did not relax, but became even more uneasy. His survival instinct drove his rational mind to work at high speed, and he desperately began to think about it.
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning in the dark night:
"This great formation... has an ancient aura and strict laws. It is suppressed by a supreme spiritual treasure. Do you want to break the formation head-on?"
Absolutely not!
That's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"Besides!"
This formation is treacherous and deeply rooted; it cannot be forcibly broken in a short time.
If this stalemate continues, we'll only face certain death!
The thought raced through my mind.
Another, more dangerous, but perhaps glimmering, idea emerged:
"How about... we try to break through the void and escape from the spatial rift?"
"At the boundary between the void interlayer and the real world, the one who set up the array must have set up a powerful spatial blockade layer, making a direct assault unlikely..."
But if I'm lucky enough to break through the blockade and enter a deeper layer of spatial turbulence, perhaps...
There might actually be a glimmer of hope!
"Although the omnipresent spatial annihilation power within the spatial turbulence layer is terrifyingly powerful, in my current state, I simply cannot remain there for long."
However, if it is only a short stay, the Xuan Turtle's body and remaining essence may be able to hold out for a while.
"As long as one can find a weak point to escape before their own fundamental laws are completely obliterated, they might be able to escape this calamity!"
Thinking of this,
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
"The price was high; serious injury and a drop in cultivation level were almost inevitable..."
But at least there's a chance to start over.
otherwise……"
Otherwise, those two words carry immense weight.
If you can't survive, what future is there?
All talk of immortal paths and great righteousness is illusory!
Think of this.
The old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan no longer hesitated. The fear in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a ruthless determination to survive even in the face of death!
Just as he was preparing to take advantage of the fact that his defensive abilities were still at their peak, to withstand any potential interference again, and to shatter the void to open an escape route—
the other side!
Outside the barrier...
Sha Minghong stood in the void, his scarlet eyes not filled with killing intent, but rather with a faint, almost appreciative, expression of admiration.
His gaze was sharp, piercing through layers of bloody light, clearly revealing the serpentine Daoist patterns flowing on the dark golden tortoise shell.
"This junior, in such a barren lower realm, without the guidance of elders, has actually managed to cultivate the basic divine abilities of the Xuan Turtle Clan's bloodline to such a level solely through his own talent and exploration!"
He murmured to himself, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Observing the Daoist essence emanating from its tortoise shell, one finds it to be incredibly solid, concealing an immortal truth."
The distance was completely sublimated, transforming into the true 'Xuanwu Dao Armor'.
They were only one step away.
"Truly a prodigy!"
Even though he was an enemy, Sha Minghong gave him a positive evaluation in his heart.
"If you were born in the Spirit Realm, a place of inexhaustible resources and a complete Dao, and received its true teachings, you would at least become a powerful being who has transcended tribulations and shaken the stars in the future."
The thought came to this,
That sense of emotion turned into a cold regret.
"Pity!"
It's a pity that a genius was born in such a lowly place.
Even more regrettable is that he will perish here today.
Not bad!
With Sha Minghong's knowledge and understanding, he naturally saw through the origin of the turtle shell supernatural power protecting the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan at a glance.
This is precisely the seemingly ordinary basic defensive bloodline technique that almost everyone in the Xuan Turtle Clan possesses—
【Mysterious Armor Technique】.
This door god, after cultivating to a high level over many years, manifests an unusual phenomenon: even when the cultivator transforms into a Dao body (human form), he still carries his natal tortoise shell on his back.
same!
This tortoise shell is also one of the most distinctive features of every cultivator in the Xuan Turtle Clan.
It is both a weakness and a source of strength.
However, the greatest truths are the simplest.
When this seemingly basic bloodline supernatural power is cultivated to an extremely terrifying level by a certain genius,
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Its defensive capabilities will also continuously improve, undergoing a fundamental leap.
Moreover, once one reaches that level, the tortoise shell will no longer manifest externally, but will truly become one with the physical body and soul, inseparable from each other.
The demon's overall defensive capabilities will experience an incredible surge.
With a mere thought, one can condense a defense far exceeding that of a manifested tortoise shell.
This is one of the fundamental reasons why the Xuan Turtle Clan is renowned in this world for its defensive power.
—They mastered the most basic things to the extreme.
of course.
When it comes to the ultimate, absolute defensive strength, the strongest defensive stance...
It is still necessary to release the power of fusion outward again, manifesting it in the most ancient tortoise shell manner.
This is why, when the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan transforms into his Dao body, his back is empty, without the tortoise shell he carries.
Because its realm has reached the state of "unity of body and shell".
same.
The Xuan Turtle Clan's previous fallen contemporary Nascent Soul ancestor, the Demon Lord Xuanba.
It was precisely because he failed to cultivate this supernatural power to the corresponding level of "unity of body and soul"...
This is why, even though he is a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, he still conspicuously carries a tortoise shell when he transforms into his Dao Body, and cannot completely conceal his inner form.
Just as Shark Minghong was pondering his next move and making his comments…
Within the crimson barrier, the old demon lord of the Xuan Turtle Clan, shrouded in a tortoise shell, was clearly unwilling to sit idly by and await his death!
His body suddenly swelled up as if inflated, his previously somewhat thin frame instantly filled with bulging muscles.
Each bulging muscle shimmered with a mysterious, ancient, earthy-yellow light.
A vast and boundless demonic power surged and roared within it.
It was as if boundless divine power was about to burst forth from his body, brewing a world-shattering strike!
next moment.
The image of the kind-looking old man that had previously appeared completely vanished.
Instead, a muscular behemoth exuding a savage and violent aura appeared!
His eyes widened in fury, and he poured all his strength, along with all his hope for survival, into his right fist, unleashing a powerful punch into the void ahead!
boom! !
Wherever the fist passed, space was forcibly shattered like a fragile mirror!
A terrifying explosion erupted within the crimson barrier!
It was not a collision of energy, but the wailing of space being violently torn apart!
Looking again, centered on the point where the perfectly condensed fist imprint landed, a dense network of jagged black cracks appeared in the void.
And it spread in all directions at an astonishing speed.
It's as if they're trying to forcibly tear open an escape route to the outside world (or the turbulent void)!
See this.
The fleeting emotion in Sha Minghong's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a mocking sneer that he had already anticipated.
His lips curled into an undisguised expression of contempt and coldness.
"Ah, even a cornered beast will fight."
You think you can break through the void and escape right under my nose?
dream! "
"If you were to tear open space and escape so easily, wouldn't all my painstaking efforts in setting up this array and using the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] to suppress the core of the formation have been in vain?"
Before the thought even settled...
It was even faster than the Xuan Turtle Demon Lord's fist power at its fullest extent!
The colossal [Hellish Annihilation Millstone], standing horizontally in the center of the crimson barrier and covered with countless silent divine and demonic reliefs, seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible hand, with extremely subtle movements…
A slight tremor!
In an instant.
An invisible and intangible yet vast and magnificent law-based fluctuation, like the might of heaven, swept out from the millstone as its core.
It instantly filled every inch of space within the crimson barrier!
This surge did not forcefully crush anything, but rather carried an absolute authority of "order reconstruction."
Within the crimson barrier, the jagged spatial rifts, recently created by the old demon lord with all his might, were spreading wildly.
It's like being brushed by the most skilled weaver with invisible threads...
In an instant, all the spatial rifts healed completely and disappeared without a trace!
Not even a trace was left.
It was as if the scene of the void shattering just now had never happened!
