This battle between the Big Water Turtle and the Lightning Snake left Ye Tianchen astonished, filled with surprise and admiration in his heart. It was truly spectacular. Despite appearing as two giant creatures, they were not clumsy at all, and their movements were quite swift. Although they seemed like mere beasts, they possessed sufficiently intelligent minds, even bettering Ye Tianchen’s combat experience, which was genuinely shocking.

Every move, every form, every strike, there was not the slightest waste, directly aiming at the enemy’s weak spots, directly taking the enemy’s life. Such combat, without absolutely powerful strength and exceptionally rich combat experience, would be utterly daunting. Because if one lacks understanding of the opponent’s strength, with insufficient personal power and combat experience, it would only lead to one’s downfall, not even knowing how one died.

When the colossal Big Water Turtle was entangled by the Lightning Snake, it quickly retracted its head into its turtle shell, leaving the ferocious Lightning Snake helpless, because the turtle shell of the Big Water Turtle was indestructible. The Lightning Snake couldn’t break it in a short time. The Lightning Snake also quickly devised a counter-strategy, spraying its red poisonous mist, enveloping both the Big Water Turtle and itself, attempting to use the pervasive poisonous mist to penetrate the Big Water Turtle’s turtle shell, turning it into ashes alive. In that case, the Essence Qi from the round moon absorbed by the Big Water Turtle would naturally belong to the Lightning Snake.

What Ye Tianchen didn’t predict was the Big Water Turtle wouldn’t wait to die in such a manner. After all, although it had an indestructible turtle shell, it couldn’t guarantee there were no gaps. Once the red poisonous mist entered the turtle shell, it would turn itself into ashes from the inside out. It couldn’t stay there for long and had to find a way to break through the red poisonous mist.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the Big Water Turtle charged out of the red poisonous mist with its turtle shell, bringing the massive body of the Lightning Snake along, rolling together on the ground, causing the earth to tremble as if an earthquake, leaving gorges tens of meters deep with each roll, shocking Ye Tianchen.

Swoosh!

In the final roll, the Big Water Turtle seemed to fly, charging straight towards the mountain peak where Ye Tianchen stood, startling Ye Tianchen, hastily leaping into the air, instantly reaching mid-air, hearing a tremendously loud noise from below.

Boom!

The not-so-small mountain peak crumbled in an instant, beneath where Ye Tianchen stood, dust billowed violently, appearing incredibly fierce. Ye Tianchen froze, realizing if he had been hit, he’d surely be shattered into pieces, fearing even his Divine Sense would be obliterated.

Swish!

Sizzle!

The first to burst out from the dust was the Lightning Snake, soaring into the air and heavily landing on the ground, raising its body upright, emitting two beams of murderous intent from its snake eyes, crimson like before, surprising Ye Tianchen. What cultivation had this Lightning Snake reached to be so powerful, capable of emitting tangible murderous intent from its eyes, truly astonishing.

”I don’t know the cultivation level realm or method of the Demon Clan, otherwise I could understand how powerful this Big Water Turtle and giant Lightning Snake truly are...” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think to himself.

Pa!

Pa!

Pa!

The dripping sound wasn’t from the battle but from the fresh blood flowing down from the giant Lightning Snake, continuously dripping onto the ground, producing such a sound. Ye Tianchen frowned, quickly flying to a higher altitude, cautious not to be discovered by the Lightning Snake. The snake was already injured, its Vicious Aura growing stronger. If it were to spot anything now, it might destroy it in a single blow. This Lightning Snake is troublesome, and Ye Tianchen didn’t want to fight it.

Using strong Divine Thought to explore, Ye Tianchen discovered three wounds on the Lightning Snake, all significant. Although they were superficial wounds and perhaps not lethal, they would somewhat damage the Lightning Snake. The most critical aspect was the infuriation of the Lightning Snake. By nature, these Demon Beasts are extremely ferocious, having been wounded, it naturally became even more enraged, with its Vicious Aura rapidly escalating several levels, making one somewhat intimidated.

Buzz!

The Lightning Snake was furious, seemingly ready to unleash its ultimate move. In its serpent eyes appeared two powerful crimson bolts of lightning, which shot out like two sharp swords, sweeping across everything from the swirling dust. With the Lightning Snake at the center, everything within a field of ten miles was obliterated. This display of divine power made even Ye Tianchen furrow his brows—this demon beast was truly formidable!

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the shadow of the Water Turtle burst out from the dust, not charging at the Lightning Snake but retreating far away, maintaining a distance of roughly a kilometer. The two colossal beasts confronted each other, and the Water Turtle extended its neck while cracks appeared on its shell, showing signs of heavy injury.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the shadows of both the Water Turtle and the Lightning Snake vanished from their positions. In the sky above, Ye Tianchen watched closely below, seeing the Water Turtle and Lightning Snake unwaveringly battle—they were both enraged and ready for the final showdown.

Bang!

Two enormous energies collided, the Water Turtle and Lightning Snake charging at each other. The Lightning Snake struck first, biting at the Water Turtle’s neck, but the Water Turtle swiftly drew its neck back into its shell. As the Lightning Snake bit empty, the Water Turtle extended its neck once more and bit down on the Lightning Snake’s neck, holding tight without letting go, causing a feeling of suffocation. Unable to release its toxic red mist, the Lightning Snake was effectively locked in place, unable to unleash its next attack—such formidable strategy!

Swish!

Not one to capitulate, the Lightning Snake coiled its massive body around the Water Turtle’s neck, forcibly pulling at it. Blood splattered from the junction between the Water Turtle’s neck and shell, evidence of the Lightning Snake’s immense strength. The Water Turtle’s shell was inseparably connected to its body, and being pulled apart would result in death—like being torn limb from limb. Against the Lightning Snake’s intense tugging, the Water Turtle struggled with all its might.

The battle of divine skills ultimately devolved into a contest of sheer physical power, as both were held in check by each other. In a deadlock, neither could move, losing the ability to fight. It was a battle of attrition where the weaker side would face death.

Ye Tianchen observed this encounter from the start, amazed by the intensity. Every attack was executed with lethal precision, stirring shock and awe with each incredible display of slaughter aura. With the Water Turtle and Lightning Snake now holding each other hostage in the final struggle, Ye Tianchen, though not participating, felt the palpable, explosive power—they were truly riveting.

”The Lightning Snake boasts unbelievable speed, tremendous combat prowess, and a fearsome power of thunder and lightning, with an intense vicious aura. On the other hand, while the Water Turtle appears large and cumbersome, it consistently defends and counters the Lightning Snake’s slaughter aura. Yet, once it strikes, it shows formidable strength—not a helpless weakling lying in wait to be defeated...” Ye Tianchen pondered internally.

Splash!

Ultimately, the Water Turtle’s strength proved inadequate against the Lightning Snake, though it clamped tightly onto its neck, preventing it from spraying toxic red mist. The Lightning Snake’s enormous body continued to coil around the Water Turtle’s neck, mercilessly pulling, as blood splattered from where its neck met its shell—it seemed its head might be torn off by the sheer force.

”Damn, at this rate, the Water Turtle’s neck will be brutally severed, with the Lightning Snake certain of victory...” Ye Tianchen involuntarily gasped.

Boom!

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the Water Turtle seemed to spring upward like a recoil, dragging the massive body of the Lightning Snake along as they both flew backward. Behind them lay the small lake where the Water Turtle dwelled. What now? Was the Water Turtle intending to sink into the lake, destined for mutual destruction with the Lightning Snake?

Poof!

The Lightning Snake was surprised, pulling with all its might and ripping the Water Turtle’s head, neck and all, from its body, blood spilling gruesomely. However, the Lightning Snake had no time for triumph—the Water Turtle retaliated even in its dying struggle, biting down and tearing away a large chunk of the Lightning Snake’s neck. Pain radiated through the Lightning Snake, causing it to roar, wildly flailing its head and body, attempting to shake off the Water Turtle’s grip. Yet, the Water Turtle continued to bite tightly, relying on its remaining blood connection to its body, dragging the already bloodied Lightning Snake together into the small lake wearily...(To be continued.
