895: Chapter 245 Fire Turtle 895: Chapter 245 Fire Turtle Outside the pristine space, a thin membrane.
Su He could break through the membrane and step into this era at any time.
The Star Ring still revolved outside his body, its Power of Time not yet exhausted, the remaining power even surpassing that gathered by the Houdou Fight Cave Mansion’s Red Lotus Flame.
Su He did not wait until the Star Ring’s power was exhausted to step out of the River of Time.
This time he had come to steal treasures, to return with them, unsure if he would need to expend more energy.
Saving some, there was never harm.
Su He did not want any accidents.
The pressure of the Great Sun Tomb on Ji Feixue was too great; currently facing the true ancestor of the Sealed Emperor Lineage, even with the treasures of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, Su He’s heart unavoidably felt uneasy.
He took a deep breath and first used Snow Concealment to hide his form.
He charged towards the membrane in front of him.
In an instant, various sceneries flickered before his eyes.
Erupting volcanos, serene deep seas, skies where clouds rolled and spread…
peaceful mountain villages, battling cultivators…
The first time he traveled through time, it was dominated by Baiyin and Su He plunged into a pool, waking up already in front of Baiyin, feeling nothing.
This was the first time he completely led the travel through time himself.
It turned out that on this membrane, it wasn’t just the Power of Time but also included Space Power.
Just like the Space-Time Rift of Feng Zhong, it was a fusion and intersection of time and space.
With this step, Su He could choose to appear at the original spot 730,000 years ago, or he could be transported randomly, uncertain of where he would end up.
If Su He had been in the Great Sun Tomb before crossing, naturally he would also be in the Great Sun Tomb if he appeared at the original spot.
But the first time he traveled through time, when he returned, it was clearly at the Yuan Sovereign Clan’s Temple, and after returning, he was still in the Baiyun Palace’s grand hall.
But what was the principle?
He wondered if it was Baiyin’s masterpiece or if the rules were different when returning?
After all, when he first traveled back, he had not yet condensed the Star Ring.
It was on the way back, within the River of Time, outside the Boundary Pearl that he had condensed the Star Ring.
As Su He pondered, he had already manipulated the Space Power in the temporal membrane — naturally, he could not travel back to the Great Sun Tomb.
If he returned without bringing the Turtle Shell of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, appearing in the Great Sun Tomb would be death!
The scenery before him blurred, like fixing a broken mirror.
Pieces of scenery reassembled together, forming into a mass and turning into a world.
Tall mountains and flowing waters, a primeval landscape.
But the air carried a familiar qi.
East Cloud Mountain!
Manipulating space, Su He sensed it; random landing was not arbitrary, randomness was within a certain region.
In this region, the greater the energy fluctuations, the higher the chance of landing.
East Cloud Mountain had strong energy fluctuations.
Looking around, Su He saw in the distance above the sky, endless flames rolling and magma rampaging, a mature Houdou moving through the magma, splashing countless magma.
This was a mature Houdou—its aura of Opening Heaven had not yet dissipated, just reached Opening Heaven Five-fold, just stepping into the adult ranks of Houdou.
Farther around were three divine beasts, one Houdou of Opening Heaven Four-fold, two emaciated black dogs.
Each black dog had a red moon hanging above its head.
Tengu!
An enemy marked by the Dragon Turtle Tribe.
In later times, Su He had never seen a Tengu; unexpectedly, upon arriving in the past, he suddenly saw two.
There were many legends about Tengu in the previous life, the common one being about Tengu eating the moon.
Whether Tengus in this world eat the moon, Su He did not know, but they were certainly associated with the Bright Moon.
Two Tengus of Opening Heaven Four-fold.
Red radiance from the moons above their heads showered the ground, bloodthirsty, brutal.
As the Tengus landed, they consumed the flesh of the mortal world for five thousand days.
In this world, it seemed more like a straightforward description, Tengus fed on any living creatures with Spirit Wisdom.
Humans, demons, divine beasts…
The aura of the Tengus and Houdous oppressed the entirety of East Cloud Mountain, Su He spat, encountering mortal enemies upon crossing, ominous, an inauspicious start!
Taking advantage of Snow Concealment, Su He slowly submerged into the nearby great river.
The familiar elemental water qi, this river should be connected to Elephant Water.
That was where Su He was born and grew up; entering the water, he could sense the essence of his homeland.
But now the entire river in Su He’s eyes was like it was pieced together, seemingly revealing cracks along it.
He was out of sync with this world, difficult to blend in.
Su He had not yet set his anchor!
He wondered where Ji Feixue of this era was.
Su He looked towards Yunmeng Ze; earlier he had not sensed a powerful qi in the direction of Yunmeng Ze, it seemed that in this era the Yunmeng Dragon Palace did not yet exist.
The entire sky was obscured by magma, Yunmeng Ze was invisible.
Only the endless magma and the gleeful voices of Houdous could be seen.
Upon carefully sensing, within the sulfuric qi, he detected a faint trace of Dragon Turtle Qi.
Following the qi, Su He saw beneath the Houdou magma, a mother turtle whose body exceeded thirty feet, her body aflame.
It was a Little Dragon Turtle where, although having not undergone the Heavenly Tribulation yet, the bloodline was concentrated enough, and it was close to drawing down the Heavenly Tribulation.
Her flames were not ordinary; they were filled with rage, the divine fire ignited at the tipping point of emotional accumulation.
The Little Dragon Turtle was trapped by the Houdou magma, roaring to break out of the encircling magma, yet no matter what, she couldn’t succeed.
A mature Houdou encircling a Dragon Turtle was merely toying with its prey.
It wanted to enrage the Little Dragon Turtle, devouring her flames.
Flames ignited by emotions, were considered top-notch no matter what.
Above the sky, Houdou wore a sleazy look, his eyes twinkling with craftiness, “Little female turtle, though you appear calm…
so fearless, are you waiting for the elders from the Dragon Turtle Tribe?
How about we wait together?
If they come, I lose!”
As he spoke, his mouth let out a laugh that reveled in another’s misfortune.
Beside him, a Tengu chuckled, “To take a Fire Attribute Dragon Turtle as a servile brother for the advancement ceremony, what do you think?”
This newly ascended Heaven Five-fold Houdou was known as Servile!
“Brilliant!
Brilliant!” Houdou laughed, his claws slapping the magma, generating countless waves, licking his lips as he watched the struggling Dragon Turtle below.
The Dragon Turtle, stepping on magma, looked up at Houdou, a sparkle in its eyes, “Is there truly an elder from my Dragon Turtle Tribe watching over me?”
Since swallowing the Demonic Fruit, it had been five hundred years; he had seen several Divine God Beasts, but never a Dragon Turtle elder!
To hear of the elders today as I face death?
“Where are the elders of my Dragon Turtle Tribe now!” she roared, her voice tearing through the air like ripping silk.
Houdou burst into laughter, “Waiting for them to rescue you?
Above the East Sea, except for that Old Turtle, the other four Dragon Turtles are all trapped, unable to save themselves, who could come to your aid?”
The Old Turtle indeed wasn’t trapped, nor could anyone trap him.
But he guarded the Star Sea, with no possibility of returning to the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
“Moreover, which true Dragon Turtle would dare approach you?
Their Tao Rhythm would scatter your Heart Orifice Shadow!” Houdou laughed heartily.
He mocked her, the magma behaving like water, continuously provoking the Little Dragon Turtle.
A mound of magma surged, knocking the Little Dragon Turtle down, another immediately shaped into a palm, grabbing her by the four limbs and spreading them wide, looking towards the base of the Little Dragon Turtle’s tail.
He then burst out laughing, “Just as I thought!
Haven’t passed the Heavenly Tribulation, you can’t hide your gender!”
Houdou laughed loudly, the little female turtle roaring furiously, flames blazing on her body as she shot up into the sky, transforming into a dragon head, lunging at Houdou.
But Houdou simply opened his mouth and swallowed the dragon head.
Brilliant!
Having just opened Heaven Five-fold and to obtain such marvelous flames, he truly was the darling of this universe!
Su He lurked beneath the water, his eyes slightly narrowed.
In this era, aside from Thai Zu, were there only four Dragon Turtles?
There should also be Wasteland Ancestor and Red Ancestor, but the other two remained unknown.
Su He breathed softly, his eyes narrowing as he watched that Little Turtle.
This Fire Turtle had not appeared in the Tao Palace, where her shadow might either die at the hands of Houdou, or…
…have her Tao Shadow scattered!
Su He leaped forth, creating not even a ripple in the water.
Hidden by Snow Concealment, he moved silently toward the Little Turtle.
The Dragon Turtle was humiliated; any other Dragon Turtle able to intervene would never let such a thing happen!
If this turtle remains unrescued, she will surely die!
Divine God Beast Bloodline, naturally inclined to feel kinship, even upon seeing a strange member of the same kin, would evoke a feeling of close relations, unable to remain indifferent to one’s plight!
Su He sprang forth, noticed by none.
Being a beast of Opening Heaven Four-fold, his own Snow Concealment could deceive others.
The only mature Houdou, also at the initial stage of Opening Heaven Five-fold, Su He’s now-enhanced Snow Concealment by Yun Li was hard to detect even by those on Common Step Heaven Seven Layers.
Baiyin said to set an anchor was to leave a profound impact on this era’s significant figures.
Borrowing money from the wealthy, stealing girlfriends from the lascivious, would making a deadly enemy of the illustrious Houdou Clan count?
Su He sped through the air, crossing tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
The Fire Turtle roared continuously, bellowing at Houdou, which only drew more raucous laughter from Houdou and the Tengu.
While they laughed unrestrainedly, suddenly a golden die spun through the void and smashed right onto Houdou’s nose.
With a dull sound, his nose was instantly crushed.
Taken aback, Houdou realized what had happened and roared towards the direction from which the die had come, a streak of fire soaring out.
But then a large banner appeared in the sky, stabbing downwards, causing the magma to freeze momentarily.
Annihilation Sky – Forbidden Divine God!
Immediately afterward, a pitch-black Dragon Turtle appeared in the sky.
A sweep of water, taking advantage of the momentary freeze of the magma, swept away the Fire Turtle.
The banner in the sky then shattered, revealing spatial fluctuations as the black Dragon Turtle vanished from sight.
“Dragon Turtle!” Houdou’s voice trembled, breaking into a falsetto.
Snow Concealment, Mountain Divine God Seal, Annihilation Sky!
This was a true Dragon Turtle!
Houdou’s face changed in an instant, turning to the Tengu beside him, “Didn’t you say that the entire Dragon Turtle Tribe was trapped?
How is there still one here?!”
These years had been difficult enough for the Houdou Clan!
Chase by Flame had lasted for over a hundred thousand year now.
By forcefully taking the Dragon Turtle’s flame this time, if the Dragon Turtle Tribe became aware of it, he might well be marked by the entire tribe.
Pursued across the Full Star!
The Tengu’s face also changed instantly; they did not recognize the Dragon Turtle that had just appeared, having never seen or heard of it before.
Other Dragon Turtles were still hidden in the dark within the Dragon Turtle Tribe!!
This was a thunderclap of news for the Tengu Clan!
They must not let that Little Dragon Turtle escape, capture her, interrogate her, find out everything!
“Servile brother, now is not the time to think about this.
It’s just a Dragon Turtle that has just opened Two-fold Heaven, perhaps a lineage the Dragon Turtle Tribe has always hidden and protected.
We must kill it right now!”
The Tengu had no time for more words, sending out a message only through telepathy.
The red moon above lit up suddenly, illuminating the spatial fluctuations, and tracked down the space towards a hundred miles away.
