Chapter 1329: Chapter 1328: [Divine Spring Pit, Divine Spring Water?]

[Seeking Rewards!!!]

It turns out that the reason the Vermilion Bird can threaten the Old Xuan Turtle is that the Vermilion Bird and Mystical Turtle species were natural enemies during the Ancient Times. One is a bird, and the other a beast; even back then, the two great species had many grudges, so they clearly understand each other’s weaknesses. Of course, whether this Vermilion Bird can defeat the Old Xuan Turtle is another matter. It’s just that with the information left by their Vermilion Bird species, they have some advantage over the Divine Monkey and Golden Sky Ant in dealing with the Old Xuan Turtle.

Bang!

With an explosion, when the Vermilion Bird blocked the Old Xuan Turtle’s water light with the Fire God Pearl on its head, it successfully clawed at the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, shattering the turtle shell to pieces. Everyone present was shocked, knowing well that a turtle shell of nearly ten thousand years was an indestructible tunneling armor, the Old Xuan Turtle’s greatest defense mechanism, a natural defense that requires no refining—a natural advantage and one of its greatest strengths.

Under the attacks of the Divine Monkey and Golden Sky Ant, they couldn’t break the Old Xuan Turtle’s shell, but could the Vermilion Bird truly accomplish this? In that case, as long as the turtle shell is smashed, the Old Xuan Turtle loses a natural protective barrier. Everyone understands that wounding and killing the Old Xuan Turtle would become significantly easier!

”Old thing, even if the shell on your back is strong, it can’t withstand my claws. Our Vermilion Bird species is naturally your nemesis, and you shouldn’t have come here to meet me!” the Vermilion Bird said fiercely to the Old Xuan Turtle.

The Old Xuan Turtle turned to look at the Vermilion Bird with a very indifferent demeanor, not speaking at all, which puzzled the Vermilion Bird, thinking the Old Xuan Turtle still looked down on it. Angered, having succeeded in one strike, it naturally thought of finishing off this Old Turtle instantly. The Old Xuan Turtle was too powerful. Despite its success, the Vermilion Bird dared not be careless, for in the countless wars between the Vermilion Bird and Mystical Turtle species, the Vermilion Bird had not gained much advantage. Frankly, their species knew some of the Mystical Turtle’s weaknesses, but the Mystical Turtles also understood some Vermilion Bird fatal points through battle, hence caution was warranted.

Puff!

Puff!

This time, the Vermilion Bird didn’t hold back, springing two claws simultaneously toward the Old Xuan Turtle’s back. The Old Xuan Turtle was startled, quickly shifting to evade. However, with a loud call, the Fire God Pearl above the Vermilion Bird’s head burst forth again, enclosing the Old Xuan Turtle’s path in fiery light. In a moment of the Old Xuan Turtle’s daze, the Vermilion Bird attacked, its claws reaching the Old Xuan Turtle’s back and grasping hold of it!

”Old thing, your turtle shell is already broken by me. Next, I’ll shatter your innards and tear you apart!” the Vermilion Bird said coldly.

”Don’t you think you’re overly confident? With your power, you’re not even a pureblood Vermilion Bird, yet you dare act so arrogantly before me; you’re courting death!” the Old Xuan Turtle spoke with an unruffled mien.

”Old thing, die!” the Vermilion Bird, enraged, pressed down its claws, seemingly wanting to tear the Old Xuan Turtle apart!

Bam!

Sparks flew, the Vermilion Bird was flung far away, its claws covered in blood, stunning everyone. Initially, they believed the Vermilion Bird, leveraging its species’ natural advantage, could defeat the Old Xuan Turtle. Unexpectedly, when the Vermilion Bird seemed to control the battle, dominating the fight, making everyone assume that even if not killing the Old Xuan Turtle, it could at least subdue it—things took a drastic turn.

When the Vermilion Bird’s claws reached to rend the Old Xuan Turtle’s back and shred its innards, its claws suddenly seemed to touch something akin to Vajra Divine Iron. Bloodied marks appeared on its claws, leaving terrifying wounds!

The Vermilion Bird was sent flying, howling furiously mid-air, its claws dripping with blood. Below, the Old Xuan Turtle slowly emerged from the dust. Ye Tianchen and others stared in astonishment, seeing that the Old Xuan Turtle’s shell remained intact, emitting mysterious Runes, leaving everyone bewildered. The Old Xuan Turtle’s shell was covered with Runes—what’s going on here?

”Impossible... The Mystical Turtle species’ greatest weakness is the center of their back shell. As long as it’s shattered, they can be killed. Why can’t you...” the Vermilion Bird asked viciously.

”You needn’t know too much. Just understand that our Mystical Turtle species’ inherent weaknesses have been eliminated by me. No one here can kill me. I need only wait my turn to finish each of you, ending your lives!” The Old Xuan Turtle maintained its calm demeanor; all seemed still within its grasp.

Swoosh!

The monkey struck once more, wielding the Desolate Sky Halberd, and charged towards the Old Xuan Turtle. This time, the monkey’s target was not the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, but its turtle head, as he swung the Desolate Sky Halberd down.

The Old Xuan Turtle responded calmly. Its front two paws, acting like hands, formed an unidentifiable seal, summoning a black chain forged by runes, blocking the Divine Monkey’s Desolate Sky Halberd. Simultaneously, the Divine Monkey rolled and slapped heavily at the Old Xuan Turtle’s back.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and the sky darkened. The Divine Monkey’s slap was forceful as if an Iron Mountain had crashed onto the Old Xuan Turtle’s back. The intent seemed straightforward—trying to smash the Old Xuan Turtle’s turtle shell. Up to this point, the Old Xuan Turtle hadn’t launched any powerful attacks. It hadn’t even actively attacked, leaving its true power and Cultivation Realm a mystery, making it the most frightening. Striking first became the collective goal of the monkey, the Golden Sky Ant, and the Vermilion Bird.

Bang!

When the Divine Monkey’s palm struck the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, a glow emanated from the turtle’s back, revealing complex runes that seemed to absorb the Divine Monkey’s palm and its force completely, to the monkey’s shock. It sensed all its power was absorbed by these mysterious runes. Just how powerful were these runes embedded within the Old Xuan Turtle’s shell?

”I shall return your strength to you, and my life I shall keep!” the Old Xuan Turtle glanced at the Divine Monkey and said nonchalantly.

Poof!

Blood sprayed from the monkey’s mouth as it was knocked away, its hand caught on the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, momentarily immobilized. At the same time, a hand, identical to the Divine Monkey’s, shot out from the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, slamming into the Divine Monkey’s chest, knocking it away.

The Divine Monkey was injured; it was the first time it had been hit so solidly. Blood flowed from the corner of its mouth; the palm’s force was immense. Had it been anyone else, they might have been torn apart. Only through its unparalleled courage and powerful physique could the Divine Monkey withstand the Old Xuan Turtle’s strike.

”Old creature, if my guess is correct, you’ve found that Divine Spring!” The Divine Monkey frowned, glaring at the Old Xuan Turtle.

The Old Xuan Turtle paused, then smiled, ”Your father found it years ago, but it was there he met me and was seriously injured, never to seek it again!”

”Despicable! My father said you hid in that Divine Spring Pit and launched a surprise attack, catching him unprepared! If not for that, you wouldn’t have been his match!” The Divine Monkey gripped the Desolate Sky Halberd tightly.

”Victors are kings; losers are outlaws. If he had died, who would know I surprised him? Besides, I found the Divine Spring Pit first and was already soaking there. It was your father who disturbed me and wanted to dig the entire pit. How could I not strike back?” the Old Xuan Turtle said coldly.

”Old scoundrel, you’re shameless! The Divine Spring Pit was supposed to be for all in the Original Restricted Zone, yet you occupy it for near ten thousand years. Isn’t it time to give it up?” said the Divine Monkey, as the Desolate Sky Halberd in its hand emitted divine power.

”Exactly, the Divine Spring Water has miraculous effects for Washing Marrow and prolonging life; you can’t monopolize it. Hand it over!” The Vermilion Bird shouted, spewing fire from its mouth.

”Give up the Divine Spring Water, or face eternal battle!” The Golden Sky Ant shook its remaining golden Demon Whisker and roared.

Ye Tianchen and others were startled; it was their first time hearing of the ”Divine Spring Pit.” Was there such a place in the Original Restricted Zone? Washing Marrow and prolonging life—bathing in the water from the Divine Spring Pit could bestow incredible powers, like making the innate weakness of the Mystical Turtle species disappear? It was amazing!

”Divine Spring Pit? What kind of place is that?” Pangu Yun couldn’t help but ask.

”Impossible, this Original Restricted Zone has existed since the Ancient Times, for billions of years. The Divine Spring Pit should have dried up ages ago. Could that old turtle have actually found it and reaped immense benefits? Whether I believe it or not, I must see it. Drinking from the Divine Spring Pit would be great!” muttered the nuisance Zhu Yan to itself. (To be continued.
