Vol 7 Chapter 39: The Mysterious Little Turtle

Swish!

Seeing the Mechanized Turtle fleeing in panic, Absolute Sword Immortal King immediately slashed out with her sword. Although she had no intention of avenging Mo Yuan, the situation was extremely suspicious, and it didn't mean she lacked curiosity.

However, the Mechanized Turtle was now completely different from before. It directly escaped into the most chaotic and complex void turbulence, relying on its extraordinary divine consciousness to navigate through the extremely dangerous passages, causing the pursuing Absolute Sword Immortal King to frown deeply.

What a bold creature.

Entering this complex void turbulence, a single misstep could lead to complete destruction. Although Absolute Sword Immortal King was confident she could navigate through it normally, she didn't dare to gamble.

Heaven's Mandate was about to appear, and her primary goal was also to obtain Heaven's Mandate. If she got into a conflict with that turtle there and got lost in the void turbulence for hundreds of years, by the time she reemerged, the struggle for Heaven's Mandate would likely already be settled.

"Forget it."

In the end, Absolute Sword Immortal King still didn't enter the void turbulence to pursue the Mechanized Turtle. After all, her mission was only to collect Mo Yuan's corpse, not investigate his cause of death.

His cause of death, and avenging him, would be handled by others in the clan.

But looking at the situation, whether they could find Mo Yuan's corpse would also be a problem.

"One-Eyed King, dead...?"

Meanwhile, outside the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, as the Creation Immortal King ruins collapsed, cultivators from various factions were still discussing animatedly, utterly shocked.

When One-Eyed King arrived so domineeringly and entered the Creation ruins, they thought he was brewing some grand conspiracy. Instead, he ended up dying directly inside the Creation Immortal King ruins?

"Truly worthy of Creation Immortal King."

Someone couldn't help but sigh with deep emotion.

"Although he failed to break through to Immortal Emperor, that doesn't mean he was weak. If his opponent back then hadn't been so heaven-defying, if his Heaven's Mandate hadn't been snatched by Solitary Immortal Emperor, perhaps Creation Immortal King would have achieved Immortal Emperor status."

"Forcibly breaking into Creation Immortal Lord's ruins resulted in One-Eyed King perishing completely with his cultivation destroyed, but... this Creation Immortal Lord ruins also seems to have collapsed?"

"What exactly happened inside? We'll know once we investigate!" The three Immortal Kings from Extreme Path Sect didn't concern themselves with the departing Absolute Sword Immortal King, instead planning to investigate the collapsed Creation ruins.

"This is..."

Upon entering the ruins, the three of them widened their eyes in shock.

Inside the ruins, they saw broken walls and debris everywhere. What was even more outrageous was that Holy Clan Power fluctuations permeated throughout.

Moreover, the quality of this Holy Clan Power was exceptionally high.

Various Immortal Emperor lineages had researched Holy Clan Power to deal with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

However, their highest research achievement was only reviving Holy Path spiritual power that could target ordinary demon blood.

But the Holy Clan Power fluctuations before them... were unprecedented, much purer and more terrifying than the Holy Clan Power researched by various Immortal Emperor lineages!

The three Immortal Kings exchanged glances, taking a deep breath.

Apart from the Holy Clan Power fluctuations, they didn't see any corpses, not knowing whether One-Eyed King had been completely obliterated without leaving a trace, or whether his body had been taken away by the other party.

"Holy Clan Power?!"

Before the three Immortal Kings could analyze anything useful, Absolute Sword Immortal King returned and also discovered the detestable Holy Clan Power in this place, causing her to frown deeply.

This matter... probably couldn't be simply concluded with Mo Yuan's death.

That turtle from earlier actually controlled Holy Clan Power sufficient to suppress Royal Demon Bloodline. For the Demonic Race, this was absolutely a dangerous signal.

It had to be known that in the current Heavenly Demon race, only the Demon Lord and Demon Master had bloodline levels surpassing Royal Level. The rest of the Demonic Race, whether Immortal Lords or Immortal Kings, had at most Royal Level demon blood.

If Holy Clan Power of this quality could be controlled on a large scale, then the Demonic Race would be no different from having only the Demon Lord as a commander without any troops.

"We must find that turtle!"

Meanwhile, the three Immortal Kings secretly resolved that they must find the Mechanized Turtle, since it was currently the only entity that mastered power sufficient to suppress Royal Level demon blood.

It had to be known that many Immortal Emperors had taken action but hadn't revived Holy Clan Power of this quality...

How did that damned turtle achieve this? How exactly did it manage to do it?!

However, this advanced Holy Clan Power was actually credited to "Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions," resulting from the Heavenly Emperor's secret technique.

Regarding this, Lin Jing was actually quite surprised at first, since even many Immortal Emperors hadn't revived advanced Holy Clan Power. But upon careful thought, the Heavenly Emperor was a fierce individual who could fight one against four, including the Demonic Race Progenitor. His foundation naturally wasn't something ordinary Immortal Emperors could compare to.

At the very least, it would take an Immortal Emperor carrying a Heavenly Dao's Supreme Treasure to match the Heavenly Emperor.

Ordinary Immortal Emperors couldn't revive such Holy Clan Power, but the Heavenly Emperor... his meticulously created Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions might just be capable of it.

"Need to find the Mechanized Turtle quickly."

Lin Jing also headed in the direction the Mechanized Turtle had escaped. He had already contacted the Mechanized Turtle through the communication device, but the Mechanized Turtle hadn't responded to him.

This guy... was probably fully focused on escaping, completely concentrated, with no time to reply to messages.

He wasn't in a hurry either, slowly tracking it.

Soon after the incident of the Creation Immortal King ruins collapsing, everything that happened there spread at an incredibly fast speed.

A turtle was suspected to have killed the Demonic Race's One-Eyed King in the Creation Immortal King ruins. The most outrageous part was that this turtle seemed to have just broken through to Immortal King by devouring One-Eyed King's Dao Fruit, meaning it had hunted an Immortal King while at the Immortal Lord realm.

And the hunting method... was Holy Clan Power!

Due to powerful divine consciousness shielding, the Mechanized Turtle hadn't let anyone discover it was a mechanized beast. Unfortunately, because the battle was too intense, the Holy Clan Power fluctuations couldn't be concealed. However, relying solely on Holy Clan Power fluctuations shouldn't allow people to guess it was Lin Jing's Pet Beast.

After all, although the person who mastered Holy Clan Power in the Lower Realm was unique, in this Immortal Realm, many people could master Holy Clan Power, just not at a very advanced level.

However, judging from where it appeared, even if its identity as a mechanized beast wasn't actively exposed, many would likely speculate it was a mechanized beast guarding the ruins, since the ruins at that time... hadn't even opened yet.

Aside from One-Eyed King the intruder, the only one who could be inside would be a mechanized beast guarding the ruins.

..........

Hundred Eyes Immortal King ruins.

Hundred Eyes Immortal King, born with double pupils, mastered one hundred special eye techniques, and was also a powerful Immortal King. These ruins were also created by him to select inheritors.

While waiting for the Mechanized Turtle, Lin Jing had brought out Wu Lingxi and left her here, letting her train near the Hundred Eyes Immortal King ruins, and giving her some self-preservation methods.

True Immortal Ninth Heaven, over a hundred years old—she was no longer a little girl but an old fairy. Lin Jing had more important matters and thus didn't stay by her side all the time.

"Did you hear about what happened at the Creation Immortal King ruins..."

Wu Lingxi, staying at the Hundred Eyes ruins, had been waiting for her master's return, not knowing what Lin Jing was busy with. On this day, she accidentally overheard someone discussing the Creation Immortal King ruins where a demon had intruded earlier, and immediately approached.

"One-Eyed King, who forcibly broke into that Immortal King ruins, did something inside and got killed by a guardian mechanized beast inside the ruins. That mechanized beast even devoured its Dao Fruit and became an Immortal King!"

"Huh??? Something like this, you're telling me this was done by a ruins guardian mechanism??? The longer you live, the stranger things you see."

"Absolutely genuine, my clan brother saw it with his own eyes. Here, this is a portrait of that turtle... ten Immortal Jade per copy."
