Divine Brilliance - Chapter 734

Chapter 734: Unable To Move

Although the ice wings were broken but swiftly after, more wings were formed.

The movement speed surprised Zong Shou. Naturally it was far slower than Hanxi but among Spirit Realm beasts, it was above average.

If one added in the wings that were retracted into the shell, its speed could probably increase by another level.

“So this turtle can not only be used as a protector but also be used as a mount…”

He was more delighted. He continued on the previous sword path, slicing down once more.

Following which his brow furrowed. In such a short time the ice layer he had broken open had regenerated by a large amount.

This sword was also rebounded.

That Blue Fire Xuan Turtle seemed like it had totally given up on fleeing. It stopped forming the ice wings. Instead it used a thick layer of ice to wrap itself up.

Seeing Zong Shou’s sword failing, Hanxi and Little Gold used their knife arms to slash from the two sides.

Xiaori also joined in, flames wrapping around his body. Its body swelled up by many times, it bared its fangs and bit down strongly.

All of a sudden clanging sounds ran out on the body of this thousand feet turtle. Sometimes there would be explosion noises as the Lightning Winged Dragon smashed onto the ice layer.

After each sword Zong Shou’s aura would become more violent and crazier. His heavy spiritual sense climbed up, his sword intent more and more focused.

From thousand miles out, those retracted Spirit Realm beast intents stretched over.

However they weren’t provocative as before, this time they were only probing and sensing.

Then these auras halted. Retreating like that of a wave moments later.

In just a few breaths those few of them were nowhere to be seen. Their actions were as fast as rabbits, afraid that they would be too slow.

In this thousand mile radius, the other beasts all frantically escaped like that of a beast wave.

In just an hour, there wasn’t any living being within hundreds of miles.

Another four hours later, Zong Shou’s face still had an extremely ugly expression. His lips twitching as he stood on the shell of the turtle.

Little Gold and Hanxi were both extremely tired. The former turned into a ball of golden jelly and running back to his shoulder to lay down. Although the latter was still slashing down, however, it was really listless, its red eyes were shining. Who knows what it was thinking.

As for Xiaori, it also turned back into the puppy look, panting really heavily. It looked nothing as majestic as a Qilin, it was like that of a puppy.

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle under Zong Shou didn’t move at all, totally uninjured. That ice layer had stretched to four thousand feet.

Even if Zong Shou’s area was thinner, but it was still three thousand feet.

In just that short breath it expanded by a thousand feet.

…During these four hours, no wonder which angle or which weak point he attacked from, even if he went all out he couldn’t pierce through the turtle armor.

At this moment he had used seventy percent of his true qi and was unable to recover it so swiftly.

Luckily once it used this Xuanwu Protective Energy ability, it couldn’t use any other ability.

If not, this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle would have turned this battle into its victory.

His eyes twitched once more as he couldn’t help but facepalm. He really lost face this time.

He was said to be unrivaled in the Cloud World. After entering secluded meditation for thirteen years, he swept the Cloud World and never had an opponent.

Even Daoling Vast Habitat was forced by him to retreat to defend. Their Palace Head even died. Who knew that his three Spirit Realm beasts and he couldn’t do anything to this turtle.

Luckily there was no one else looking. If others found out about this wouldn’t they laugh out loud?

Especially Zhao Yanran, that crazy woman. She would grab the chance to mock him about it.

Looking down at the turtle hidden in the heavy ice layer, Zong Shou was speechless. He felt his head hurt badly.

It wasn’t a plan to continue going on like this. In terms of energy, all Xuanwu Beasts are listed in the top three out of all god beasts. Their power was like a deep ocean, really indiscernible with endless amounts of energy.

Even if he had the help of pills, he wouldn’t be able to out sustain it. As for the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique, he would have to absorb things.

As for forcefully attacking, that wouldn’t work. He finally understood what people meant by a rat being unable to find any point to pull a turtle by. He couldn’t find any weakness and was unable to attack at all.

Thinking about that, he scoffed. He wasn’t a rat.

However he was really helpless, he could only jump off the shell.

Following which Zong Shou hesitated. Looking at the situation he couldn’t do anything about this beast. It was impossible to make it surrender.

However he was a little unwilling to leave just like that. Who knew whether or not this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle would still be here if he came down next time? Would it surrender to others? Or would it leave the Cloud World?

He had to find a suitable solution before he left.

The turtle retracted its head and was totally silent. Maybe because it felt that there wasn’t any movement outside and Zong Shou wasn’t on it anymore.

Taking the opportunity that Zong Shou was in deep thought, spiritual energy exploded out. Twelve sets of wings formed once more as it flapped with all its energy to fly into the sky.

This time he was totally caught off guard. Zong Shou didn’t react at all and Hanxi was resting up.

In the next instance when the turtle was just a millimeter off the ground, there was a loud explosion and it fell back down. The twelve pairs of wings were all broken.

Zong Shou broke out into laughter. Following which it tried to form fourteen pairs. However it fell downwards similarly.

Then was sixteen, twenty, twenty-four, thirty…

This giant ice block didn’t even manage to get an inch off the ground.

Logically speaking when one reached the Spirit Realm, one’s strength couldn’t be calculated by normal numbers.

They could shock mountains and rivers, and break open space. These few ice pieces couldn’t do anything for it.

However the Xuan Ice was different. They could block his sword, and their strength was no lower than a Grade-9 Spiritual Artifact.

Each inch, each millimeter was formed by billions of essence water units.

It was scarily heavy, reaching a hundred thousand kilograms.

Thousands of feet of Xuan Ice pieces, just thinking about it one can imagine how heavy it was.

Maybe because it reached its limit, when thirty-six wings were formed, there were no more wings that came out.

However this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was only able to barely get a foot up from the ground.

Trying to fly up but to no avail, the turtle went silent once more. A short while later it opened a bit of its shell to try to stretch its head out.

However, following which it felt that the situation wasn’t right. No matter what it was unable to stretch out at all. Even if it shifted its face to the side it couldn’t.

It bit down but the ice was too slippery and it was unable to catch it. It spat out blue flames but it caused the ice layer to become thicker.

It didn’t give up as it tried to stretch its four limbs and wings out.

Following which it felt that they all faced the same situation.

The Xuan Ice was not only firm but extremely strong.

A ten feet layer could compare to Grade-9 Spiritual Artifacts. When it was stacked to a thousand feet, it was Celestial Artifact level.

That turtle went all out but it was unable to reach out at all.

It sent its energy to strike outwards but the ice layer didn’t budge at all. Even if it gathered its strength at one spot, it was unable to damage it at all.

In the end it just shook, however, its body was frozen in the ice layer so how could it even shake a single bit?

Zong Shou’s brow rose as he walked to the front of it, exchanging glances with it.

After a long while he couldn’t help but burst out a laugh. Following which he laughed out loud in an unrestrained manner.

He couldn’t do anything about it, but it was also so dumb to trap itself in ice, unable to come out.

How amazing must one be to do that?

The depressed feeling in his chest was gone. The frustration from being unable to break the ice armor in four hours had totally disappeared.

Following which he had a thought as he focused on it once more.

Wait, it can’t come out?

He couldn’t make it yield now didn’t mean he couldn’t do so in the future.

If he couldn’t, then just let it remain in there unable to come out?

When such a thought rose, a cold smile appeared on his face.

He flipped his right hand and twenty talismans appeared. Half of them was a Mountain Stabilising Talisman which had the power of a mountain sealed within. As long as this talisman was pasted on a person, a normal Grade-9 wouldn’t be able to move. The other half was a Xuan Ice Spirit Shield Talisman, which once used could instantly form a giant Xuan Ice Shield.

It was a famous spell formed in the Spirit Realm.

Without an exception they were all left from the fallen cultivators of the Daoling Vast Habitat.

The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle felt a chill around its body.

It raised its eyes wide and stared at Zong Shou warily.

※※※※

Numerous days later, in a city two thousand miles away from Daoling Vast Habitat.

Zong Shou stood in the air, beneath him was a burning temple.

At this moment a purple energy wrapped around his hand.

It was no different from usual true qi. But if there were Taoist cultivators here they could recognize that it was God Power gathered by the Protector Gods.

It wrapped around his fingertips, unable to be absorbed into his body.

That was because there were already too much in his body, which was why he was unable to absorb any more.
