“Repay my kindness? Perhaps it is so for some, but not necessarily for all.”
Su Chen said as he gazed deeply ahead, his thoughts unknown. He did not ask these people to repay him. As long as they could help resist the Dashang Empire, the Infinite Demon Sect, and the Demon Race in the fight for the Black Tortoise’s blood essence, that would be enough.
Even if they didn’t help, it would be good if they could brag about him in their minds.
“Alright then.”
When Ye Ruxue heard this, she pondered for a moment and eventually did not continue speaking.
“How much farther is it to reach the location of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence?”
Su Chen did not continue discussing this topic with Ye Ruxue and asked.
It was better to obtain the Black Tortoise’s blood essence as soon as possible. They had been in this small world for half a day already. If this continued, Su Chen feared something unexpected would happen.
“About another half a day.”
Ye Ruxue closed her eyes and carefully sensed the location of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence before lightly responding.
“Half a day…”
Su Chen gently nodded.
According to the location provided by Ye Ruxue, he directed the golden carriage onwards.
Half a day later, a gigantic corpse that was several thousand feet tall appeared before Su Chen’s eyes. This corpse spanned a radius of several hundred miles, even taller than an ordinary mountain. From afar, it was as if a white true dragon lay resting on the land. Though this corpse had been dead for countless years, it still emitted a terrifying aura. The tremendous pressure formed a domain here as if anyone who entered would be crushed to death by the invisible pressure.
“This is the corpse of the Black Tortoise. In the past, the God Demon Sect and the Black Tortoise divine beast reached an agreement for it to become the sect’s guardian divine beast. Later during the ancient wars, the Black Tortoise fell.”
Ye Ruxue walked up to the corpse and explained as she gazed upon it. When Ye Ruxue saw the corpse, a faint smile appeared on her face. Whether or not she could cultivate the Four Spirit Sacred Body in this life depended on the blood essence within this corpse before her.
One had to know that in her previous life, it had taken her decades to cultivate the Four Spirit Sacred Body. Yet now, it had only taken two years. If she could cultivate the Four Spirit Sacred Body before breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, her achievements in this life would far surpass that of her previous life!
“The Black Tortoise’s blood essence is inside, but I can’t sense its exact location. 1’11 need to utilize a secret technique to locate it. 1’11 start cultivating and leave the rest to you.”
Ye Ruxue looked at Su Chen and chuckled lightly.
“Mm. Focus on your cultivation.”
Su Chen gently nodded. As he finished speaking, he went to the corpse and stood quietly by its side. He was guarding against sneak attacks while also waiting for the Black Tortoise’s blood essence to appear. Divine beasts’ blood essences possessed their own consciousness. He needed to ensure it would safely appear in Ye Ruxue’s hands.
Ye Ruxue wore white robes and sat cross-legged atop the Black Tortoise’s corpse. She was like a celestial maiden descended from the nine heavens, beautiful and unparalleled.
Buzz…
Around her, a faint fluctuation spread out, enveloping the entire corpse.
Boom!
The instant her hands formed seals, the Black Tortoise’s corpse shook strangely, as if revived. At the center of the Black Tortoise’s corpse, the void began distorting. Terrifying Heaven and Earth spiritual Qi gathered crazily, forming a vortex. At the vortex’s center, auspicious Qi faintly gushed forth.
In the sky, a vortex also appeared, as if some terrifying existence was about to emerge into the world.
“It’s coming out?”
Su Chen looked up at the pitch-black vortex in the sky and muttered softly. He sent his divine sense towards the two vortexes. Only to see an extremely small space existing between them. At the center of this small space was a drop of dark crimson blood.
“Oh?”
At this moment, a soft exclamation sounded out.
“This is… The aura of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence?”
In the next moment, several tall figures emerged from the void in the distance. Their eyes were filled with joy and delight. These people all emitted the auras of Quasi-Saint Realm cultivators.
“You’re here?”
When Su Chen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. He did not hide, only turning to look at them with a solemn expression.
Each of these people was a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Judging from their attire, they were a force from the East Barrens’ seas. This force rarely appeared within the East Barrens, mostly being active in the Central Plains instead. He didn’t expect that the emergence of the God Demon Sect’s ruins would actually draw them here.
There were five people total, all at the Quasi-Saint Realm. Facing them alone, Su Chen would be hard-pressed. After all, apart from them, there was also the Dashang Empire and hidden Infinite Demon Sect to contend with. The forces of those two sides could show up at any time and make a move against him. Even with his remarkable talent, it would be utterly impossible for him to simultaneously contend with so many Quasi-Saint Realm experts, not to mention the addition of the Quasi-Saint Realm experts from both sides.
“If you leave now, we can spare your life!” a man in golden armor spoke indifferently.
At the center of his forehead was a scale that shone with endless radiance. It seemed to contain terrifying energy, causing the surrounding void to tremble. The instant he opened his mouth, the scale between his brows also lit up brightly, as if it could erupt with terrifying power at any moment.
Boom!
Under the influence of Ye Ruxue’s secret technique, the aura of the Black Tortoise’s corpse grew increasingly richer. Anyone could now sense the sura of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence within the vortex.
Moreover…
These people lived in the sea, so the Black Tortoise’s blood essence had an instinctive attraction to them.
“Hehe… You’ve got quite the nerve!”
Su Chen coldly sneered. He appeared completely calm and unruffled, without the slightest panic a Nirvana Realm cultivator would have facing Quasi-Saint Realm experts.
“Hm?”
Seeing this, the few Quasi-Saint Realm experts on the other side couldn’t help but frown.
“You think you alone can stop us? 1 admit your reputation is formidable, Su Chen. Even in the seas, there are many legends about you. If you enter the Quasi-Saint Realm, even we will not be your match. Unfortunately, you haven’t reached the Quasi-Saint Realm yet, so you are not our match in the end. 1’11 give you one chance. Leave now, and we’ll pretend nothing happened. If you are unwilling to leave…”
At this point, the golden armored man’s expression gradually turned cold. The scale between his brows grew hotter and hotter. Terrifying killing intent spread out, instantly enveloping the surroundings.
“When you entered the God Demon Sect’s ruins, you already offended the Dashang Empire and the Infinite Demon Sect. If you add us to the list, even if your Great Mystery Sacred Sect has Saint Realm experts, it will be impossible to protect you! Even…. The Great Mystery Sacred Sect may be destroyed because of you!”
