Divine King of Honour-Chapter 685: Xuanwu Nether Turtle

After chatting with Xu Nian for a while,

Chen Wudi and his companions left the Small World directly.

Xu Nian knew that he probably wouldn't see Chen Wudi again until he was in the Cultivation World.

As for not choosing to follow Chen Wudi and the others when they left,

Xu Nian felt no regret in his heart.

If he couldn't resolve the threat posed by the Imperial Family, he wouldn't be able to comfortably head to the Cultivation World.

"Let's go, I will continue towards the depths of this Ancient Spirit Sect," Xu Nian said to Ice Blue at his side.

Ice Blue looked at Xu Nian and said, "Thank you! Thank you for saving me just now!"

Xu Nian simply smiled broadly.

"Since you've chosen to follow me all along, isn't it only right that I protect you?" Xu Nian said with a smile.

Ice Blue gave Xu Nian a glance, choosing not to say anything more.

However, she was somewhat touched in her heart.

After all, she was merely a subordinate.

Even if Xu Nian had disregarded her safety, she would have had no complaint.

But Xu Nian's attitude made her feel fortunate about her earlier decision.

Next, the two of them headed toward the depths of this Small World.

In fact, Xu Nian always had a question lingering in his mind.

That is why such a strong Ancient Sect would fall to ruin.

However, it was a question that probably no one could answer for him.

Xu Nian and Ice Blue moved together towards the depths.

Along the way, they found that many of the Defensive Light Shields protecting the islands had already been breached.

And it was clear that the treasures inside had been taken away.

During this time, Xu Nian and Ice Blue also breached the light shields of three islands,

obtaining some treasures from within.

However, Xu Nian mostly kept only Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills.

Other items like Spiritual Formulas and Spiritual Artifacts were all given to Ice Blue.

Soon, they arrived at the very depths of the Sect.

Yet the scene before them surprised Xu Nian greatly.

In the deepest part of the island floated a massive island.

No, to be accurate, it wasn't an island.

But a gigantic turtle.

The turtle's body was covered with a thick layer of soil, and it was overgrown with vegetation.

There was even a palace on top.

The giant turtle was bound with thick chains and suspended in the air,

showing not a hint of life force.

It looked as though it had been dead for many years.

But the more it seemed so, the more Xu Nian's heart was shocked.

What kind of Xuan Turtle could have a corpse that lasted so long without decaying?

"This is the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle, a descendant of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, enormous in size, with extremely strong defenses. If I'm not mistaken, this turtle's lifespan must be at least ten thousand years. As for its Cultivation, it's hard to tell."

Ice Blue spoke, her ice blue eyes also revealing surprise.

"Ten thousand years?"

Xu Nian was also astounded.

Although he did not know the true Cultivation level of this Xuan Turtle,

the very fact that it had lived for ten thousand years was enough to tell him that its Cultivation was not low.

But fortunately, the Xuan Turtle was already dead.

Otherwise, Xu Nian really couldn't imagine what such a powerful Demon Beast, if gone mad, would be like.

"Let's go up and take a look!" Xu Nian suggested to Ice Blue.

Ice Blue nodded her head.

So Xu Nian and Ice Blue leapt up onto the back of the Xuan Turtle.

Soon, Xu Nian and Ice Blue landed on the back of the turtle.

The back of the Xuan Turtle was covered in a thick layer of crust, surrounded by dense vegetation.

Standing on it, it looked no different from an ordinary island.

Xu Nian couldn't help but stomp his feet a few times.

A dull sound came from beneath his feet.

His feet had not cracked the ground in the slightest.

This made Xu Nian feel somewhat surprised.

"What a sturdy turtle shell. If I pulled it off to make armor or a shield, I wonder how strong the defense would be," Xu Nian couldn't help but express.

He himself was an Artifact Refiner.

As an Artifact Refiner, he knew that materials for artifact refining weren't limited to just metals.

Beast bones and scale armor from powerful Demon Beasts could also serve as artifact refining materials.

Therefore, on seeing that the Xuan Turtle's shell was so hard, the first thing he thought of was this.

"Kid, by saying that, aren't you afraid it can hear you?"

However, it was at this moment that a light laughter echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

Indeed, the person transmitting the message was none other than Wentian Demon Sovereign.

"Senior Wentian, it's already dead, what do I have to fear?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"Who told you it was dead?"

However, Wentian Demon Sovereign retorted.

Xu Nian was immediately stunned.

Could it be that this Xuan Turtle was still alive?

How could this be possible?

This Ancient Sect must have been from tens of thousands of years ago.

How could the Demon Beast still be alive?

If this Demon Beast really was still alive,

and he had just stomped on it twice,

wouldn't that be trouble?

Just thinking about it made Xu Nian's scalp tingle.

"Haha, look how scared you are. Although this Xuan Turtle is still alive, it's currently hibernating. As long as you guys don't attack it, you'll mostly be fine," said Wentian Demon Sovereign.

Only then did Xu Nian breathe a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate indeed, for had that stomp actually woken up the Xuan Turtle,

they would have been in big trouble.

"By the way, Senior Wentian, do you know what level of cultivation this Xuan Turtle has achieved as of now?" Xu Nian raised another question that was on his mind.

"Kid, if his cultivation wasn't suppressed by the heavens and earth, he might have reached the Wanxiang Realm, not far from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. But due to the suppression, he is currently at the Supreme Battle Emperor Level," Wentian Demon Sovereign replied through telepathy.

Xu Nian was completely astonished.

He had not expected this Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle to have reached the Wanxiang Realm.

A Demon Beast at the Wanxiang Realm, even with its cultivation suppressed, still had its insights and combat experience intact.

Therefore, an ordinary Supreme Battle Emperor was no match for it.

"Hall Master, did you discover something?" Ice Blue noticed Xu Nian suddenly standing still with a look of surprise and couldn't help but ask.

"Ice Blue, this Xuan Turtle is still alive. Let's try to keep our movements as light as possible, so as not to wake it," Xu Nian addressed Ice Blue.

Ice Blue was also taken aback, then nodded.

Then Xu Nian and Ice Blue made their way toward the sole grand hall on the back of the Xuan Turtle.

In fact, Xu Nian did not hold any hope for this grand hall.

Because the grand hall on the back of the Xuan Turtle wasn't protected by any defensive light shield.

It's likely that whatever was inside had already been looted by others.

However, Xu Nian still decided to enter, driven by curiosity.

After all, a palace that a grand turtle of such size was carrying was certainly no ordinary palace.

The occupant of this palace within must have held an incredibly high status.

"Eh!"

However, just as Xu Nian and his company arrived at the entrance of the grand hall, they felt a great force of resistance.

Xu Nian and Ice Blue were both startled.

They had not expected that the palace was actually sealed with restrictions.

And it seemed that the restrictions were quite formidable.

"I'll handle this!"

Xu Nian immediately spoke up.

After finishing speaking, he directly summoned a golden giant sword and struck at the restrictions on the hall's gate.

"Boom!"

A loud noise followed.

The restrictions on the gate just shook a little, then there was no further reaction.

Xu Nian and Ice Blue exchanged glances.

Both revealed expressions of surprise.
