Chapter 1025: Chapter 1024: Battle of Two Titans

This night, within Cangmang Mountain, many things occurred that Ye Tianchen was witnessing for the first time, each more shocking than the last, each leaving him with a sense of cognitive disarray. First, the scene of countless fairies dancing atop the small lake; it was truly dreamlike and enchanting, making one feel as if they had entered an immortal realm. Ye Tianchen almost lost himself in it. Then, the small lake trembled, and the roars of two giant beasts were heard. A gigantic water turtle burst out from the small lake. After absorbing the round moon essence descending upon Cangmang Mountain, instead of wreaking havoc like other beasts, this large water turtle—whose age was unknown—slowly sank. It was at this moment that another giant creature appeared, a Lightning Snake not only immense in size but with deadly destructive power, such that even experts in the Martial Saint Realm dared not approach it lightly. The Lightning Snake charged towards the center of the small lake, seemingly intent on killing the giant water turtle.

A streak of red lightning shot from the mouth of the Lightning Snake, directly tearing through the void, traversing it as if it were nothing, startling Ye Tianchen. Such speed was incredibly fast, almost beyond visibility. Even if he exerted his Divine Movement Skill with all his might, he feared he could only just match this. This Lightning Snake was indeed formidable; its destructive power sent shivers through one’s soul. Faced with such a wild and fast assault from the Lightning Snake, how could the gigantic and inherently slow-reacting water turtle possibly defend against it? Ye Tianchen was truly curious; this was an unprecedented battle between Demon Beasts, rare to encounter, and he could learn much from it. Of course, he watched with rapt attention, not daring to blink for fear of missing a spectacular moment.

At this time, the gigantic water turtle at the center of the small lake was still sinking, with only a massive head remaining above. Apparently, this giant water turtle hadn’t expected that after absorbing the essence power from the round moon, the Lightning Snake would charge forth, so swiftly, with a killing move meant to end its life.

Splutter!

Of course, this giant water turtle wouldn’t sit idly by. Seeing that the Lightning Snake not only unleashed a powerful red lightning strike aimed at it but also charged with its massive body, clearly intending a do-or-die conflict, it couldn’t simply sink peacefully into the small lake. It opened its mouth and exhaled a gust. While not particularly violent, this burst of energy agitated the water in the lake, forming a water wall before it. The red lightning struck the water wall, filling the entire lake with thunder and lightning power. The scene was astonishing, leaving Ye Tianchen in awe, not daring to take a step closer.

Boom-dong!

A massive explosion resounded in the small lake. A powerful force radiated, likely affecting everything within a ten-mile radius. Rain fell from the sky, but this wasn’t real rain; rather, it was the result of the massive explosion within the small lake, sending water surging skyward, showering down in all directions as if it were raining. Ye Tianchen frowned, watching the small lake intently. He didn’t know what happened to the water turtle but knew this Lightning Snake was incredibly formidable and cunning, with combat experience. After unleashing that red lightning, the Lightning Snake knew it couldn’t instantly kill the water turtle outright. The turtle would surely defend, but water conducts electricity—a law of nature. As long as the red lightning reached the lake, it would fill the entire lake with thunder and lightning power, allowing the Lightning Snake to take control!

”The water turtle utilized the innate advantage of being within the small lake but overlooked that the power of thunder and lightning could dominate water’s energy, trapping itself in a desperate situation. This Lightning Snake is too formidable and hard to deal with!” thought Ye Tianchen.

Roar!

The Lightning Snake, powerful and aggressive, charged to the edge of the small lake after its attack. However, it did not descend; its entire body stood upright like a person, its head poised and viciously watching the small lake, its red snake eyes menacingly fixated therein. At this time, the small lake was full of mist, making it hard to discern anything. The Lightning Snake, too, seemed unsure if the colossal water turtle had been successfully slain and dared not easily enter the water.

Whoosh!

A water column shot forth swiftly, almost equal to the red lightning power the Lightning Snake unleashed, piercing through the mist towards the Lightning Snake. Clearly, this giant water turtle was not dead and wielded immense skill in manipulating water, using it as a Treasure in combat.

Faced with the rapid water column, like a long, sharp sword slashing towards it, the Lightning Snake did not dodge swiftly but instead opened its mouth and shot another burst of thunder power, clashing with the water column.

”Trouble, this water turtle is undoubtedly doomed. Although it has the innate advantage of being in water, the Lightning Snake’s power of thunder and lightning precisely counters the turtle’s water power; it’s a perfect example of one thing overcoming another!” Ye Tianchen frowned, seemingly foreseeing the battle’s outcome, with victory likely favoring the Lightning Snake.

It’s not that the massive water turtle in the small lake isn’t strong. From its colossal body and the way it absorbs the essence of the moon with its mouth, it is quite formidable. And although its physical movements are slow, its attacks are not sluggish. It’s just that every creature has its nemesis; its abilities happen to be restrained by the power of the lightning snake. This is an innate disadvantage for the water turtle, not an indication that its strength is inferior to that of the lightning snake.

Just as Ye Tianchen anticipated, the enormous lightning snake is very experienced in combat. When the water turtle unleashed a Water Sword to attack it, the snake did not dodge. Instead, it opened its mouth and unleashed a Power of thunder and lightning towards the Water Sword. When the Water Sword and the Thunder Sword clashed, the scene quickly manifested; not only was the Water Sword enveloped in the Power of thunder and lightning, but the entire lake was filled with the strength of thunder, incredibly awe-inspiring and powerful. Even Ye Tianchen frowned slightly. If this water turtle is defeated, it would be a frustrating defeat. It shouldn’t use water power to fight against the lightning power of the snake, which is fundamentally a failure of attributes rather than a lack of combat power.

Boom!

Buzz!

However, just as Ye Tianchen thought the water turtle would lose, not because it’s not powerful, but due to the nemesis dynamic, the lightning snake seemed to show a victorious posture. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the small lake. Following this, a colossal entity engulfed in the Power of thunder and lightning crashed towards the lightning snake with incredible speed. It startled Ye Tianchen, let alone the lightning snake, which couldn’t react in time.

Boom!

The lightning snake was knocked away, crashing from the lake shore and getting hurled a great distance, at least a thousand meters, leaving a huge gash in the ground. This scene was truly shocking and unexpected. The massive water turtle, all covered in the power of thunder and lightning, seemed utterly unaffected in its movements, unhurt, and with incredible speed, knocked the lightning snake flying.

”This is... The water turtle wasn’t harmed by such a powerful Power of thunder and lightning, why... Could it be...”

Ye Tianchen was startled, very clearly, in the presence of the Power of thunder and lightning, water power is weaker because thunder can control water. That’s why, at the beginning, the water wall the turtle sprayed couldn’t block the power of the lightning snake. But why wasn’t the water turtle injured at all? It was so powerful and knocked the snake flying. With its massive body, it’s impossible to dodge the snake’s power. When the lightning snake attacked, the entire lake was filled with the Power of thunder and lightning, making it unavoidable. The snake used this to ensure the turtle wouldn’t escape its powerful attack. Why then is the turtle unscathed and so powerful?

Buzz!

The turtle’s sturdy limbs came ashore, violently shaking the entire Cangmang Mountain, as if an earthquake occurred. It shuddered, dispersing the thunder power covering its body. Just then, Ye Tianchen seemed to discover something. He finally understood why the water turtle remained unfazed in the face of such a fierce attack from the lightning snake and didn’t launch a counterattack right away. Instead, it used strategy, luring the lightning snake close to the small lake, making it lower its guard for a chance to deliver a heavy blow.

”So the turtle shell protected it, and who knows how many thousands of years of tempering have rendered this shell indestructible. Even the powerful Thunder Tribulation-like thunder power may not be able to harm it!” Ye Tianchen marveled.

The turtle shell, the indestructible shell, became the water turtle’s best protection. It is thanks to this that it protected itself. Despite the lightning snake’s formidable power and unstoppable thunder power, it could not easily break the shell. With this shell able to resist the snake’s thunder power, the battle between these two massive creatures has an uncertain outcome. Ye Tianchen doesn’t know who will be the victor, but one thing is for sure, this is a rare epic battle, and he will continue to watch until it ends...(To be continued.
