Chapter 558: Chapter 556 Fifth Order Profound Turtle (Seeking Subscriptions)_1
The white Metal Spiritual Power, the green Wood Spiritual Power, the azure Water Spirit Power, the crimson Fire Spiritual Power... and finally the yellow Earth Spiritual Power!
One after another, radiant glows spread from atop the great snowy mountain to the entire sky, resembling a canopy of auroras!
Atop the great snowy mountain, the Prohibitions that were originally in place even paused momentarily, allowing the person breaking through to freely mobilize the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power!
A terrifying pressure emanated, causing Wan Bing City at the foot of the great snowy mountain to tremble slightly.
"Someone is becoming a Transcendent God again? Why do I feel the need to say ’again’?"
Fang Xi criticized himself, still looking extremely shocked, "Ice God Palace truly deserves to be the leader of the North Plains... Could it be that in addition to that old ancestor, there’s another one about to succeed in transforming into a god?"
"It must be the Ice God Palace Master!"
Outside the Dongfu, innumerable Cultivators who were startled and emerged gathered together, and a Core Formation Cultivator in a white robe spoke loudly, "The Ice God Palace Master was already a late-stage Nascent Soul great Cultivator back in the day, having gone through the battle of descending from the Higher Realm, it’s likely that he had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and even gained great benefits in the Monster World..."
The Ice God Palace Master!
This was a legendary figure in the Cultivation World of the North Plains!
’From the looks of this person’s momentum, he indeed seems to have surpassed Master Bai Mei by a bit...’
Fang Xi muttered to himself.
Perhaps Bai Mei had simply fallen short in resources, for if he had the chance to venture into the Monster World and acquire Spiritual Objects, which could help break through the bottleneck of transcendence, he might have already succeeded and passed all the tribulations.
"This young brother, you seem rather knowledgeable about the Ice God Palace Master?"
He turned towards the white-robed Core Formation Cultivator and smiled, "I, too, hold the Ice God Palace Master in high regard. I know of his reputation for shaking the southern borders, but as for what exactly happened in the Monster World, I truly have no idea..."
"Heh heh, I am ’Bai Xiao.’ My cousin happens to be a Cultivator of the Ice God Palace. This time, he followed into the Monster World and fortunately survived..."
Bai Xiao cupped his hands together, feeling somewhat unable to see through Fang Xi.
However, those who lived in this area of Dongfus were at least Core Formation Cultivators, and hence, he spoke very politely, "Our Ice God Palace Master took the initiative to lead the first group of battle Cultivators into the Monster World. Within ten days, they fought across a million miles, slaying several high-level fourth-order Monster beasts..."
"Rumor has it that he even made it to the lair of the Profound Turtle Clan in ’Wanqing Sea,’ forcing a Transcendent Turtle Monster to reveal itself..."
"With such strength and battle achievements... and with the full support of the Ice God Palace, coupled with the resources of the Monster World, the Ice God Palace Master will surely succeed in transcendence and become the second Transcendent Cultivator of our North Plains!"
Bai Xiao stated confidently.
As his words were spoken, the auroras between heaven and earth transformed into a lake of Five Colored Glows, an infinite amount of Spiritual Power swept towards the highest point of the great snowy mountain!
’Drawing the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power into one’s body?’
Fang Xi silently marveled, as it was beyond any doubt that the Ice God Palace Master had already outpaced Master Bai Mei.
A moment later, an aura more fearsome than before cascaded down from the great snowy mountain, layer by layer.
Several Core Formation Cultivators couldn’t endure it, their faces alternating between pale and flushed, unable to maintain their Magical Powers, and one after another they fell to the ground.
Only Fang Xi remained casually standing with his hands behind his back, singularly outstanding as he watched the direction of the great snowy mountain.
When Bai Xiao witnessed this scene, he was shocked: "Nascent Soul..."
"Successfully breaching the Transcendent God bottleneck, the next step requires passing through three trials... The Heart Demon Tribulation can span countless lifetimes, yet externally it might be over in a moment. Therefore..."
Fang Xi looked up, just in time to see clusters of Five Elements Spiritual Power gathering.
This was clearly a sign that the Ice God Palace Master had already passed the Heart Demon Tribulation and begun to face the Five Elements Tribulation!
Streams of Five Elements Qi transformed into various Five Elements Skills, pounding down on the summit of the great snowy mountain.
The force seemed like it was enough to level the entire mountain.
At the peak of the great snowy mountain, a silhouette flew out, clad in Xuan Bing armor, contending against the sky filled with azure wood, black water, golden blades, fierce fire, and massive boulders...
After the rotation of the Five Elements, countless clouds surged, and a bolt of Heavenly Thunder with a ferocious aura akin to a Nine Heavens punitive strike, smashed down violently!
In comparison to the thunder spells and Arrays used by Cultivators, this bolt of azure-golden lightning was evidently of a completely different essence, the true ’Heavenly Might,’ capable of effortlessly eradicating a Cultivator’s Nascent Soul!
’The thunder tribulation faced by the Ice God Palace Master seems to be a bit less formidable than that of Fang Immortal Taoist Master... But the latter had the good fortune of a Transcendent ancestral protector; getting through nine layers of thunder isn’t a big issue... It seems that he can advance successfully?’
A speculation slowly arose in Fang Xi’s mind.
But in the next moment, something unexpected occurred.
Boom!
A long and ancient cry rang out, reminiscent of a massive elephant from the ancient past and akin to the roar of a dragon.
This roar, full of malice, caused the Array of Wan Bing City to shake, countless ice bricks shattered, revealing the talismans inside.
Those lower ranked Cultivators bled from their mouths and noses, and even among the commoners, quite a few died on the spot...
"A Transcendent Demon Lord?"
Fang Xi’s eyes widened, staring into the Void as a fearsome giant creature the size of a mountain slammed into the great snowy mountain!
Crash!
Countless multicolored Prohibitions flashed explosively, a large amount of rocks and snow tumbled down, and palace after palace collapsed directly...
"Dare you, monstrous creature?!"
A figure emerged above the great snowy mountain, and across the heavens, snowflakes fell, transforming into a gigantic wall of ice, firmly protecting the summit of the mountain, preventing the Demon Lord from disturbing the Ice God Palace Master’s tribulation of thunder!
"Roar!"
The transformed demon beast was gigantic as a mountain, with a head resembling a flood dragon, phoenix claws, a serpent tail, a turtle shell... it was actually a fifth-order Profound Turtle!
With a roar, the earth suddenly trembled as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred, seemingly about to turn the Great Snow Mountain upside down.
’Damn it... I’ve almost annihilated the invading Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and that old Heavenly Phoenix didn’t even bother to stay behind to block me... This transformed turtle demon actually chose to remain in the Mortal Realm, clearly giving up any hope of ascension... How deep is this hatred or resentment? Or does this turtle demon feel its lifespan is long enough to just find a place to hide until the next time the Monster Clan descends? Hmm... It seems not impossible.’
A dark radiance flashed through Fang Xi’s eyes.
The master of the Ice God Palace in the Great Snow Mountain was confronting the lightning tribulation, and a fifth-order turtle demon was restraining the old Transcendent God.
Now, could it be the perfect opportunity?
"Er... Actually, I don’t really have any needs from the Ice God Palace, might as well focus on that battlefield of the Transcendent Gods... I don’t wish for that old master of the Ice God Palace to display God’s Prestige, as long as he can make that fifth-order turtle bleed, I shall consider the mission completed..."
Fang Xi, confident in his own cultivation, mused that getting involved in the battlefield between the two great Transcendent Gods wouldn’t result in his death by the aftershocks, and naturally, he started to entertain ideas about that fifth-order turtle demon.
With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly turned into a blue light and disappeared, to the shock and bewilderment of cultivators like Bai Xiao on the ground...
...
Whoosh!
The power of Ice Movement converged into countless thousand-foot ice blades, falling onto the back of the fifth-order Profound Turtle, yet unable to penetrate the thick layer of body-protective demon Qi.
It was no idle boast that the Profound Turtle excelled in defense!
Fang Xi observed coolly, noting that the old Transcendent God from the Ice God Palace was also trying to shift the battlefield with the fifth-order Profound Turtle away from the Great Snow Mountain.
After all, it was a clash between two great Transcendent Gods, and with just a little carelessness, the top of the Great Snow Mountain would turn into rivers of blood, and even Nascent Soul cultivators could be affected as collateral damage!
"Haha... Ice Xuanzi, when you invaded the Wanqing Sea back then, you took advantage of the fact that I was concerned about the younger generation in my clan and didn’t dare to exert my full strength. Did you ever think about this retribution?"
The fifth-order Profound Turtle let out an old laugh, deliberately using the human race’s language, so the sound carried far and wide.
Now it was alone, and Ice Xuanzi had a whole bunch of disciples and grandchildren, which naturally meant he’d be at a greater disadvantage.
’I knew it... This old Transcendent God doesn’t seem all that fierce.’
Fang Xi’s eyes moved, feeling that this ’Ice Xuanzi’ was probably only slightly stronger than the green-robed Demon Lord, definitely inferior to Ao Kun, let alone the final Perfect Transcendent God Demon Lord.
"Prattler!"
Ice Xuanzi let out a cold snort, and a small tower appeared in his hand.
This tower was grey-white all over with numerous exquisite reliefs on it, the foremost prominently featuring a kylin, phoenix, Xuanwu, True Dragon... Around it swirled countless totems of monster beasts, seemingly paying homage to the Four Great Spirits.
Hum!
Runes flickered, and a multitude of monster beast phantoms emerged, surrounding a pure white jade-like tower phantom.
"Devil-locking Tower?"
Fang Xi muttered to himself, "A fifth-order Devil-locking Tower consecrated with the Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits... indeed an extremely fine Treasure of Void, perhaps it could rival the ’Fang Immortal Taoist Palace’ before its seals were released?"
This ’Devil-locking Tower’ was crafted by Ice Xuanzi with all his might, so its power was naturally extraordinary.
Even when the Shadow of Ten Thousand Spirits appeared, the fifth-order Profound Turtle felt a certain deterrence: "Devil-locking Tower..."
It let out a plaintive roar, "In order to refine this tower, how many of my Monster Clan people did you kill?"
"Who knows? Too many to count..."
Ice Xuanzi sneered, "Old turtle... In the Monster World, my true self is suppressed by the Heavenly and Earthly Laws, and that’s why I cannot fully deal with you... Now that we have reversed roles, you stay behind today. My Devil-locking Tower just needs one last blood sacrifice!"
He cast out extremely exquisite Magic Spells, and the tall white Devil-locking Tower phantom roared, suddenly appearing right above the fifth-order Profound Turtle.
Layers of grey-white light fell like sheets of ice, freezing the Void and making it difficult for the fifth-order Profound Turtle to lift even one claw.
Such powerful Void sealing ability made Fang Xi secretly click his tongue in awe, daring only to watch from a distance.
"Old turtle, today I shall send you on your way."
Ice Xuanzi drew out a thin, cicada-wing ice sword from his sleeve, muttering an incantation.
On the blade of the ice sword, strange runes flickered.
All at once, the world stirred, and chains of law emerged, plunging from the Void into the body of the fifth-order turtle demon!
"Are those Magic Chains?!"
Fang Xi murmured to himself, having only seen such an external manifestation of the Power of Rules on that Perfect Transcendent God Demon Lord before.
Clearly, Ice Xuanzi was using a kind of Secret Skill to increase the repression of the Mortal Realm on the fifth-order Profound Turtle.
"Behead!"
Ice Xuanzi huffed coldly, the Cold Ice Longsword in his hand expanded with white frost, and he made a sudden slash!
In the heavens and earth, a white line swept rapidly, distorting the Void wherever it passed as if it veered off course!
This concentrated white line swept past the fifth-order Profound Turtle.
Crack!
The sturdy demon Qi shield was as flimsy as paper before the white line, shattering instantaneously, and then the white line left a deep mark on the shell of the fifth-order Profound Turtle, dropping several fist-sized beads of blood.
