Chapter 839 - Black Turtle’s Mental Illness

Leon had to stay on the Black Turtle God Beast's good side if he wanted to ask for some of its blood essences.

However, he noticed the sea monsters at the bottom of the Bone Sea could feed on the Black Turtle God Beast's blood essence and enjoy long lifespans.

He might not necessarily need to ask the Black Turtle God Beast for its permission, lest he deems it a proper courtesy to do so.

Nevertheless, before he could reply, Luna interjected, 'Grandpa Turtle, stop making things difficult! Either way, Leon is already the new owner, and it was you who said people who don't discriminate against demons can be friends!'

'I did say that, yes, but you need to understand that 'can be' doesn't imply 'must be.' If this human is untrustworthy, he is better off dead than alive,' the Black Turtle God Beast replied.

Leon could not help but frown.

Just because he wanted to be on the Black Turtle God Beast's good side, it doesn't mean he had to lower himself to its whims.

'I don't know what is going on, but I don't need to prove anything to you. I thought we could be on good terms, but I'm losing interest in a rude old turtle like you, who only knows how to throw your weight around despite your current situation.'

'Hmph!' the Black Turtle God Beast snorted.

'Showing your true self already, huh? How quick you are to change your attitude! Even if this emperor is trapped here, this emperor can still crush your spirit!'

'Don't bother; you'll only hurt yourself. And respect is earned, not given. Since you won't reciprocate, I don't see why I should continue showing you respect,' Leon replied coolly.

With the realm spirit's omniscience, he could see that the Black Turtle God Beast was firmly nailed to the bottom of the Radiant Heaven Realmship.

It has no way of escaping unless someone capable removes the nine Godly Divine Needles from its body.

'Hmph! This human has too much pride! We cannot trust him!' the Black Turtle God Beast's eyes glinted with killing intent.

But before it could send out a spiritual attack, Luna quickly interfered again, 'Grandpa Turtle, you need to calm down! You're being too way agitated again! You need to cool yourself!'

'Perhaps, I am…' the Black Turtle God Beast frowned, sensing its present behavior was unbecoming of its usual self.

At the same time, Tak-si quickly spoke to Leon, 'Master, please go easy on Lord Black Turtle, and be a little more understanding. It is true that Lord Black Turtle has a grudge against humans, but he isn't usually like this.'

'The Eternal Night Demon Empress's dark energy has been influencing Lord Black Turtle for so long and made him more irritable and violent. Think of it like a mental illness, Master.'

Neither Tak-si nor Luna wants the two sides to be hostile to each other; it doesn't benefit anyone.

'I see… so that was the case,' Leon nodded with understanding before taking a step back and said, 'We'll talk another time when Senior has calmed down.'

The realm spirits felt relieved after both sides took a step back instead of escalating their aggression.

Although Leon didn't fear the Black Turtle god Beast's spiritual attacks, it was better for him if he wasn't forced to reveal his Nihility Law.

Shortly after, Leon withdrew his consciousness from the realm spirit's omniscience and opened his eyes.

'Take me back to the surface, Tak-si,' he ordered.

'Yes, Master.'

Within moments, layers of spatial energy wrapped around Leon's body before suddenly contracting, as if in an attempt to crush his body into nothing.

In that instance, his body disappeared in the blink of an eye.

…

On the surface, Darlene immediately sensed a spatial disturbance in her proximity, causing her expression to change to alarm abruptly.

'Sister Aria, be careful! Something is coming!' Darlene quickly warned.

The two immediately drew their weapons with vigilant stances, alerting the rest of the dark faes in the process.

Some distance away, many layers of space unfolded like a blooming lotus before Leon's figure appeared from it.

Leon was immediately taken aback upon seeing all the weapons drawn against him.

"Well, this is quite the warm welcome," he uttered jokingly.

"M-my Lord?" Nyfarella and Saresha exclaimed with shock before urging their clan members, "Quickly put away your weapons! How dare you point your weapons at the lord!"

The dark faes immediately complied, but they wore unhappy expressions while they were at it.

"But you also did it too… Why are we taking all the blame?" they mumbled sulkily.

…

Meanwhile, Leon glanced at Aria and Darlene's surprised looks and said with a smile, "You two aren't going to poke me with that sword and dagger of yours, are you?"

After listening to his teasing tone, the two ladies quickly snap out of their dazes and put away their weapons.

"Did you finish your business down there already?" Aria asked with amazement.

"Yeah, for the time being," Leon admitted with a nod before adding, "But there's still much that I need to do."

"Everything all good while I was gone?" he asked shortly after.

"You were only gone for a few hours," Aria mentioned before saying, "What could have happened due to this short while? Though, I do find it to be a pity that I have no opponent to test my Sword Intent on."

When Aria said that, she revealed a strong desire to fight.

She wanted to know how strong she had become after comprehending her Sword Intent and Concept of Swiftness and Slowness.

"There are plenty of opponents in the Bone Sea; you'll definitely find a chance there even if the chance doesn't find its way here to us," Leon replied with a smile.

However, he suddenly frowned in the next moment.

"But the water pressure in the depths of the Bone Sea would be too much for your present body to handle. Do you want to train it like Darlene?" he inquired.

"Can I?" Aria reveals interest in the matter.

However, shortly after, she knits her brows and asks, "Will it affect your cultivation?"

"How can it?" Leon replied.

Even if it were true, he wouldn't admit it.
