Vol 7 Chapter 40: Dao Fruit of Creation

Chapter 40: Creation Dao Fruit 2

A demon race Immortal King trespassed into the ruins and was killed by a guardian mechanized beast inside, which also seized his Dao Fruit... This was undoubtedly the most explosive and dramatic version.

After all, no one had ever heard of ruin guardians seizing Dao Fruits before.

Immortal Palace.

This Immortal King's orthodoxy had gathered many geniuses who ascended from the Tianyuan Realm.

For safety reasons, most of these geniuses had been cultivating diligently within the Immortal Palace after ascending, never venturing outside.

However, staying within the sect didn't mean they were completely isolated from the outside world. Major events happening in the Immortal Realm often became topics of casual conversation among the Immortal Palace disciples.

"A demon race Immortal King... killed by a mechanized turtle guarding ruins...?"

Gao Sheng and Ouyang Hao drank immortal wine while receiving this information, both filled with confusion in their eyes. Since when had demon race Immortal Kings become so weak?

"Brother Ri Tian, do you remember that Lin Jing also had a mechanized turtle?" Gao Sheng suddenly recalled something.

"Of course, back then Junior Brother Lin didn't like bringing that turtle when he went out, leaving it in Tianyuan. It forcibly dismantled many ruins..."

"You're not suggesting that this mechanized turtle is Junior Brother's, are you..."

"Haha, that should be impossible. Even if Junior Brother's pet beast didn't stay in the Lower Realm and ascended, it's only been such a short time. We've only cultivated to mid-stage True Immortal realm, yet his pet beast is already at Immortal King level? Already capable of an Immortal Lord killing an Immortal King? I don't believe it."

"It's impossible. I estimate it's like the rumors say - a super mechanized beast secretly placed by Creation Immortal King within the inheritance ruins to resist intruders."

Ouyang Hao nodded: "Do you think it might be related to Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor? His true form is also of the turtle race. Right now, people are only guessing that the turtle is a guardian mechanism, but it might not be. We've never heard before that Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor had descendants or disciples. What if, because of Heaven's Mandate... he sent out a hidden special agent into the world?"

"That's stretching it too far. Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor hasn't made any moves through countless generations of Heaven's Mandate appearances. Why would he suddenly create a successor now, who then runs into Creation Immortal King's ruins and clashes with the demon race... The probability is too small."

From Immortal Emperors above to mortal realm cultivators below, everyone was discussing the events that occurred at Creation Immortal King's ruins.

The mysterious little turtle had already acquired several layers of identity - Creation Immortal King's peak creation, Prison Suppressing Immortal Emperor's successor, Holy Clan's last survivor... But fortunately, not many people thought in the direction of Lower Realm Sovereign Lin Jing's pet beast.

Firstly, it was too outrageous. Secondly, within Lin Jing's team, the mechanized turtle had relatively low presence due to its years of wandering.

Divine Martial Forbidden Zone.

Divine Martial Immortal Emperor was also a famously renowned Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, and one of the few body cultivation Immortal Emperors. He wasn't a native cultivator of this Immortal Realm but originated from the foreign Ancient Immortal Realm.

Back then, to establish himself in the current Immortal Realm and claim a territory, he also became involved in the Immortal Emperor war of that era.

However, the final result clearly showed that he lost.

After his defeat, Divine Martial Immortal Emperor died not long after, with his death place transforming into a life forbidden zone. All life entering would be ruthlessly corroded. Even fellow Immortal Emperors couldn't purify this forbidden zone.

Ordinary True Immortals entering would have their bodies immediately disintegrate.

Immortal Lords retreating couldn't withstand it for more than a day.

Only Immortal Kings entering could barely resist this body corrosion for a period, but still couldn't stay long.

The mechanized turtle fled all the way, eventually escaping to the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone. This was an Immortal Emperor's burial ground - even an Immortal Emperor couldn't easily deduce its hiding place, especially since this place involved the power of another Immortal Emperor.

"This body corrosion is so domineering! Even though I'm a mechanism, I'm being severely corroded!"

After entering, the mechanized turtle discovered that to stay here long, it probably needed to think of a good method. However, since it had chosen this place, it had definitely calculated an escape route.

At Creation Immortal King's ruins, it had exhausted immense effort to devour the One-Eyed King's Dao Fruit.

Devouring a Dao Fruit didn't mean completely replicating the other's path, nor entering the Immortal King realm through the other's path.

Rather, it was "emulation."

Regarding Dao Fruits, the mechanized turtle was actually quite familiar because the Ice Soul Gu mastered the "Dao Fruit" divine ability. The two were very similar - both involved plucking others' Dao Fruits. The mechanized turtle analyzed that the demon race Immortal Lord who bestowed the Dao Fruit divine ability probably practiced this Dao Fruit technique precisely so that one day, they could cross realms to kill an Immortal King and seize their Dao Fruit.

Looking at it this way, the inheritance the Ice Soul Gu obtained was also quite good, originating from a very bold demon race Immortal Lord.

After devouring the One-Eyed King's Dao Fruit, the mechanized turtle still followed the "Path of Wandering." However, its Path of Wandering had now been tainted with the One-Eyed King's path. Whether this was good or bad, no one currently knew - whether it would affect its own path or enrich its own path. History showed that both possibilities existed.

But for now, the sealing and spatial attainments drawn from the One-Eyed King's Dao Fruit were highly valued by the mechanized turtle, as these were key to its survival in this Divine Martial Forbidden Zone.

It detected that although the body corrosion in this Divine Martial Forbidden Zone was everywhere, it also flowed rapidly. Under this flow, there would always be places where the concentration changed. If it could frequently jump to areas with thin body corrosion, it might be able to stay here a bit longer.

Of course, accumulating over time, this body corrosion would ultimately damage its body. But it now possessed stronger sealing power and could attempt to first seal the body corrosion invading its body, delaying its effects, then find solutions later. Although this treated symptoms rather than the root cause, and accumulated sealed body corrosion would cause immediate death if it lost control and erupted, it could at least extend its activity time here and also train its new powers.

"Master?"

Finally having escaped to the safest dangerous place, the mechanized turtle also began having energy to pay attention to Lin Jing's summons.

It quickly told Lin Jing about the events inside the Creation ruins. Moments later, Lin Jing, who was still very far from the mechanized turtle, couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"You've done very well. I could tell you were extraordinary since you were little."

"Wait for me at the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone. I'll head over immediately. The Creation Dao Fruit... keep it well for me!"

Lin Jing's eyes sparkled. This was a windfall - an Immortal King realm pet beast... plus he himself now had the opportunity to break through to Immortal King!

"But Master, the great powers of the Immortal Realm might start from Creation Immortal King's ruins to deduce the whereabouts of his Dao Fruit. If you take the Dao Fruit and leave now, you'll likely attract attention."

"True." Lin Jing frowned while flying toward the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone. Although he obtained the Dao Fruit, the commotion caused by this incident wasn't small and would definitely attract attention from all sides.

As long as he touched the Creation Dao Fruit, he would definitely be tainted with karma and be deduced.

"That might be the only way." Lin Jing nodded. Although he was at Immortal Lord realm and couldn't move in the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone for as long as an Immortal King, he also had an Immortal King - not through the Creation Dao Fruit, but through... the Beast Taming Secret Arts.

He and the mechanized turtle... would Merge.

Some time later, in the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone, a youth carrying a turtle shell, like an ascetic practitioner, continuously moved through the Divine Martial Forbidden Zone.

Although merging with either the mechanized turtle or the Holy Egg wasn't particularly good-looking, there was no one here anyway, so it didn't matter.
