(8000-word chapter)_3 She was going to collect the Thunder Pool of Position.
Several white turtles hid to the side, waving their spears and banners, cheering and shouting.
Beyond the Secret land, in a vast, broken space, so immense that its bounds could not be discerned.
Within it, two dragon turtles swam, attacking toward three other dragon turtles.
Another half, lying discarded on the ground, was already completely dead, and its light flared just before the half of the Soaring Snake vanished.
Inside the Fire chamber, another half of a Soaring Snake appeared.
So the newly dead Soaring Snakes came in this way.
These were Uncle Luo and Uncle Lei.
Seven Soaring Snakes, two dragon turtles.
Not knowing how long the battle had raged, Su He didn’t know if it was an adult Soaring Snake that had followed Elder Moon’s second snake, intending to strike at him, but was stopped by two of the clan’s Uncles.
Or if it was the clan’s Uncles, as protectors, who were about to act against Elder Moon but were stopped by the Soaring Snakes.
But this war must have started because of him.
The space was already in shambles, the forces unleashed from the battle place flowing out, striking upon the Mystery Huang World; even the mere remnants of these forces had completely altered the vicinity of the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, with mountains shattered and rivers collapsed, all reduced to fine dust.
Several Human Monks wore solemn expressions, laying down Big Arrays in layers around, trying their best to prevent the remnants of the two clans’ battle from being unleashed.
But no one dared to intervene, or even to get close.
That is until from the direction of the Xuan Tian Gate, a towering figure appeared—it was the Sect Leader True Person of the Xuan Tian Gate, looking over at the battlefield, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
He tossed a book from his hand, floating it above the battle place, pressing all the remnants of the battle back into the space.
A stroke of ink fell from mid-air, turning into a sky full of Talisman Runes that floated down, completely repairing the damaged space above the battlefield.
“Elder Luo, please hold your hand!” The Soaring Snake Clan couldn’t afford the deaths of seven Soaring Snakes on the Xuan Tian Gate’s turf without facing great pressure.
The Soaring Snake Clan seemed ever more shameless; two snakes nearly thirty thousand years old were chasing to kill a dragon turtle cub barely three years old.
Even if by Divine God Beast standards of adulthood, they were considered young snakes, it still felt utterly shameless!
That aside, the dragon turtle cubs were quite capable, having thrown two Soaring Snakes into the Xuan Tian Gate.
After their failure, they should have slunk away in defeat, but they were relentless, chasing after them again.
Moreover, with seven Soaring Snakes carrying the National Clan’s Divine God Artifact, they blocked Dragon Turtle Gu Luo from coming to the rescue.
This was no longer just about being shameless.
It was an outright incitement to war between the two clans.
After three hundred thousand years, the clan had reduced by half.
Had they not recognized reality?
Did they still think the Soaring Snakes were a clan that could vie with the Four Spirits?
Beyond the Mystery Huang World, the howling of the Soaring Snakes was suppressed by the roars of the dragon turtles that followed one after another.
In terms of rescues, the Dragon Turtle Tribe could tear through space and teleport over vast distances, something the Soaring Snakes couldn’t compare with.
The dragon turtles made their intent clear; since the Soaring Snake Clan had instigated this war, it would end with the deaths of seven Soaring Snakes.
If more Soaring Snakes showed up—they’d be only too welcome!
Within the battle place, dragon turtles roared, Soaring Snakes hissed.
The outer world’s noises reached the ears of the three Soaring Snakes, their dark faces glimmering even darker.
With a hiss, the three Soaring Snakes thrust their tails into the tree below them, and in an instant, the Jubilant Death Tree was lush with green leaves, propping up their realm that had been compressed to the extreme.
All three Soaring Snakes looked haggard; this was a tactic of mutual destruction, which normally would utilize the bodies of dead clan members.
However, the dragon turtles had thwarted them, and the corpses of the deceased Soaring Snakes had been taken away unknowingly.
The Jubilant Death Tree was verdant, yet every leaf was filled with Death Qi.
Feeding on the three Soaring Snakes, laws began to solidify—death, decay, degeneration…
Gu Luo let out a roar, and a ring of yellow light spread from his body.
Lei’s form was filled with rumbling thunder, but at that moment, it turned its head to look towards the Seven Absolute Secret Realm.
Its eyes were full of confusion.
In the Seven Absolute Secret Realm, within the Fire chamber, the Snake Egg formed by the Soaring Snake seemed unable to withstand the chamber’s heat, and gradually began to melt away, transforming into a stream of light that merged into Su He’s Turtle Egg.
At the same time, the four Soaring Snakes hanging in mid-air were consumed by flames in an instant, leaving only their skeletons clattering to the ground.
The aura of the combustion, identical to that of the melting Snake Egg, did not merge into Su He’s Turtle Egg but instead was drawn out of the Secret land and wrapped around Lei.
Lei’s perplexed expression gradually brightened, and with a roar, the plasma around it surged, enveloping it as if within a giant egg, its shell threaded with lightning.
Gu Luo looked perplexed, unsure of what had happened.
Lei was unaware of what had occurred, suddenly appeared in front of Lei and positioned itself to shield the giant egg, its body emitting yellow light, blocking the aura of the Jubilant Death Tree.
The Jubilant Death Tree swayed without wind, its leaves began to fall, and in an instant, the entire battle place shattered.
Another leaf drifted downward, gently fluttering.
The cultivators outside the battle place’s complexion changed dramatically in an instant, employing various methods to flee quickly.
Those who were too slow were sucked dry like encountering Prison Ghosts, turning into mummies before bursting apart.
A leaf fell to the ground, creating a black hole that dragged everything towards it as if the mountains and rivers were being pulled in.
“How dare you!” Within the Xuan Tian Gate, the Sect Leader True Person, with a face stern as water, flashed into appearance outside the Seven Absolute Secret Realm.
Reaching into the sky, he pulled down, dragging the entire sky down like a silken veil covering the green leaves.
The verdant leaves immediately withered and turned to ash.
Before the fleeing crowd could catch their breath, the Jubilant Death Tree swayed again, another leaf threatening to fall.
It was like an eggshell cracking; a streak of lightning split open on the shell Lei had formed with the plasma, followed by a dense network of cracks.
A Soaring Snake hissed, and the entire shell exploded, transforming back into plasma.
A massive being emerged from the shell.
A dragon turtle, wrapped in blue lightning all over, with boiling plasma beneath it.
This was Lei in its usual state, with nothing special about it.
