PFC Chapter 94 The Great Sage Turtle
Chapter 94 The Great Sage Turtle
"Boom!"
Strange sounds drifted through the underground palace.
At first, there was a dull thumping sound, but it soon turned into a piercing sound like a cat scratching glass. Each strike was like a blow to the heart, clearly echoing throughout the entire underground palace.
Listening closely, the strange noise came from deep within the underground palace, which was clearly the direction of the main burial chamber!
"Holy crap, could it be that thing...?"
A chilling guess popped into Li Wudao's mind, and his expression instantly turned grim.
Damn, it feels like I've won the lottery!
At this moment, the sounds from the depths of the underground palace gradually subsided until they returned to silence, as if nothing unusual had ever happened.
Li Wudao stood there, hesitated for a moment, and decided to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However, just as the boy turned to leave, another shocking event occurred!
Not far from the entrance to the underground palace, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the tremors became more and more violent, as if something was breaking out of the ground from deeper underground.
"Boom——"
Soon, with a loud bang, a large crack appeared in the ground, and debris flew everywhere.
Immediately, a golden coffin shot up from below the underground palace and landed directly in front of Li Wudao.
"Holy crap, a tomb within a tomb?!"
Staring at the coffin, which looked as if it were cast in gold, Li Wudao became somewhat unsettled.
There are experts here?
The boy's face turned green. The ancient books were right; it really was an ominous place.
This golden coffin is extraordinary. It is decorated with beautiful landscapes carved all around, lifelike and noble, with a majestic and imposing presence.
The coffin lid above is inlaid with seven shining stars, crystal clear and dazzling, the pattern of which is clearly the Big Dipper.
Seeing the familiar alignment of the seven stars, Li Wudao couldn't feel happy; his face was grim.
This golden coffin exudes an ancient and profound aura, suggesting it has been buried underground for countless years. It's hard to imagine what kind of powerful being resides within.
He wanted to leave, but the golden coffin blocked his way, which annoyed him.
"Bang--"
Just then, the golden coffin trembled, the golden lid was lifted and slammed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Immediately, a bright green head popped out, with a dark and thick neck.
"It's a fake corpse!"
Upon seeing this, Li Wudao's pupils contracted and the hairs on his body stood on end.
In his previous life, he had only seen similar scenes in movies. Now, experiencing it firsthand, the feeling was indescribably intense, and he was almost scared out of his wits.
"What do you mean, 'came back to life'? You human brat, how dare you speak to me like that? I'm perfectly alive and well!"
An unpleasant voice came from the golden coffin.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure darted out and landed not far from the boy.
Li Wudao subconsciously took a few steps back, and upon closer inspection, his expression was somewhat astonished.
"A... turtle?!"
Indeed, in front of him was a large tortoise, similar in size to a yellow dog, entirely black, resembling a large, fat piece of coal.
What's most eye-catching is its bright green head, as if it's been painted with cucumber paint, topped with a few tufts of hair, which looks particularly out of place and somewhat comical at first glance.
Li Wudao's eyes were strange, and he almost laughed out loud.
This turtle is quite something; its green hat is too fashionable, I can't really appreciate it.
"You're the turtle, your whole family are turtles!"
The green-haired tortoise, its voice booming, stretched out its neck and angrily emphasized, "I am 'Xuanwu,' the divine beast Xuanwu, don't you understand?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao raised an eyebrow and used his Haotian Eye to investigate.
【Name:? ? ? 】
Age: 28,000 years old
[Talent: Mid-grade Emperor Rank]
[Realm Level: Early King Realm]
[Special Constitution: Xuanwu Bloodline (Severely Depleted)]
[Aura: Supreme Emperor Rank]
[Recent events: Damage to the origin, injury to the soul, a sharp drop in cultivation level, forced into slumber]
Upon seeing this information, he clicked his tongue in disbelief.
This green-haired turtle has actually lived for almost 30,000 years? That's almost the lifespan of a sacred place.
What he found most unacceptable was that this guy's overall aptitude was actually stronger than Jiang Churan's.
Thinking of this, Li Wudao couldn't help but look the unremarkable-looking tortoise up and down, finding it rather awkward no matter how he looked at it.
The Xuanwu recorded in ancient books is a combination of a tortoise and a snake. It has a majestic appearance and is a divine beast of the heavens. It has a noble bloodline and is born with the cultivation level of an emperor.
Legend has it that with a single stomp of his foot, he could shatter a thousand-foot mountain, and with a casual roar, he could reverse the flow of rivers and seas, his power earth-shattering.
But this green-haired turtle in front of me looks so ugly, it has nothing to do with the mythical beast Xuanwu.
"Boy, what kind of look is that? How dare you underestimate this Holy Lord?"
The green-haired turtle had an unfriendly look in its eyes, grinned widely, and looked ready to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
"You, the Holy Lord?"
Li Wudao found it amusing and couldn't help but chuckle.
You should know that anyone who can be given the title of "Holy Lord" is a powerful being in the Holy Realm.
They are all great figures who can be compared with the Lord of the Holy Land, so how could this green-haired turtle in front of them claim to be one?
With that, he chuckled, brushed past her, and walked outside.
This is definitely not a safe place. Instead of wasting time arguing with this green-haired turtle, we should leave as soon as possible and find an exit.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed up like lightning, opened its huge mouth, and bit down.
"hiss........"
Instantly, Li Wudao froze on the spot, gasped, and transformed into a mask of pain.
Looking down, I saw a black line appear on his forehead.
At that moment, the green-haired turtle stretched out its neck and bit his calf tightly, like a maggot clinging to his bone, impossible to shake off no matter how hard he tried.
It must be said that the green-haired turtle has an extremely strong bite force. Even with his current physical body, he felt waves of intense pain, as if a dull knife was cutting his flesh.
"You damn turtle, let go of my mouth!"
Li Wudao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This was a scene he never dreamed of. One day, instead of being bitten by a dog, he was bitten by a turtle that jumped out of a coffin.
The most outrageous one was a green-haired turtle!
Good heavens, this is outrageous...
"Apologize to this saint!"
The green-haired turtle bit down while threatening menacingly.
Hearing this,
Li Wudao's face darkened, and he sneered without backing down, "You're dreaming. If you don't give in, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Asking him to apologize to a green-haired turtle? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The next moment, he gasped again, and the green-haired turtle bit down even harder, as if determined not to give up.
"Alright, alright, is this how you play? I'll strip that turtle shell off you!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Li Wudao's anger flared, and he clenched his fist and slammed it into the green-haired turtle's back.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a series of dull thuds echoed throughout the underground palace, the force of which caused the ground to tremble slightly.
However, after dozens of punches, the floor was deeply dented, but the green-haired turtle was completely unharmed, its shiny black shell without a single mark.
Finally, Li Wudao, having beaten himself to the point of questioning his existence, dejectedly gave in, saying, "Brother Turtle, Grandpa Turtle, Great Sage Turtle... please let go, stop biting, I was wrong..."
The turtle shell was like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard.
With his current physical strength, even a casual strike could possess immense power, easily enough to collapse a small mountain, yet he couldn't do anything to this green-haired turtle?!
"Damn it, are you even human? You look more like a humanoid beast!"
Upon hearing this, the green-haired turtle grunted and released its grip, retreating to the side and crying out in pain.
To be honest, if Li Wudao had persisted a little longer, it really wouldn't have been able to hold on.
The opponent's fist slammed down like a mountain, heavy and powerful, making its internal organs tremble and its head buzz.
Seeing that the boy ignored him,
The green-haired tortoise remained unperturbed, its dark eyes darting around as it asked curiously, "Kid, how dare you venture into the Sword Ruins with your meager cultivation?"
As it spoke, its tone was one of utter surprise, "That's strange. Logically speaking, someone of your level shouldn't be able to get this far. At most, you'd perish within ten miles of the Sword Ruins..."
Immediately, it raised its green head, circled around Li Wudao, and looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in its eyes.
This place is a full 500,000 miles away from the outer perimeter, extremely close to the heart of the Sword Ruins, a place fraught with danger and many perilous situations.
Based on past experience, even if Li Wudao hadn't been trapped in a deadly situation, he should have had all his life essence drained.
It couldn't understand how a human youth who was only at the Martial Grandmaster level had arrived here.
