Chapter 374: Don’t Tell Me It’s That Tortoise?
A crow appeared amongst the flames. It had a reddish-gold color.
Everyone couldn’t help associating it with a certain elite divine beast—the Golden Crow Divine Bird.
Shen Tian and Yue Yunde exchanged looks before gazing at the crow again, which was surrounded by a black aura. They appeared very shocked.
The vengeful aura was clearly plaguing this Golden Crow, and so it had turned into a vengeful spirit. It wouldn’t matter so much if this happened at some other place, but this was the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb.
The meaning behind this occurrence was perplexing and terrifying.
“Don’t tell me this is the divine consciousness left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch?” Yue Yunde murmured to himself before shaking his head quickly. “The Golden Crow Thearch didn’t die, and he ascended to the Celestial World. How could he have left behind his divine consciousness in this world?
“And if this is truly the Golden Crow Thearch’s divine consciousness, it cannot possibly only have the battle prowess of a new Sage. Everyone in this tomb would have already perished.”
Shen Tian grumbled in annoyance as he used his Ocean Divine Hammer to suppress the Golden Crow. “Senior Brother, can’t you lend a hand?”
Yue Yunde chuckled. “Junior Brother is so formidable, what help can I possibly give? Keep up the good work, Junior Brother. I will give you spiritual support and cheer for you!”
Shen Tian, “...”
He was seriously suspecting now if this fatty was a disciple of his Master or a disciple of Martial Uncle Azure Lotus.
Never mind, anyway, it was only a matter of time before this Golden Crow fully transcended.
Shen Tian continued to activate the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to resolve the vengeful aura plaguing this Golden Crow. At the same time, he was using his hammer to keep the struggling Golden Crow down.
Woooooo!
Bam!
Woooooo!
Bam!
Woooooo!
Bam!
The Ocean Divine Hammer struck the Golden Crow’s head repeatedly, keeping it down on the ground.
Shen Tian’s Hariti Rosary Beads vibrated gently. “Master, this Golden Crow’s vengeful aura seems to be dissolving and then reviving again.”
The vengeful aura is reviving?
Shen Tian’s eyes hardened and glowed a faint silver. He could also feel that as he continuously used the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to transcend the Golden Crow, the vengeful aura seemed to decrease.
But the vengeful aura was like a wildfire as it kept re-igniting.
“Where the hell did this Golden Crow come from?” Yue Yunde muttered to himself, “Golden Crow divine beasts have always been quite rare in the five regions. And it has appeared here in the Golden Crow Thearch’s tomb. Don’t tell me—”
Before the fat Taoist priest could finish his words, Shen Tian’s face suddenly turned grim. “Senior Brother, we have to leave now!”
With that, Shen Tian erupted in Rainbow Divine Light.
The power of that extraordinary item merged with him to form a divine barrier.
Boom!
The Rainbow Divine Light barrier came down upon the Golden Crow, completely enclosing it.
Following that, Shen Tian dragged Yue Yunde along with him, morphing into a streak of golden light and shooting in the opposite direction.
The Golden Crow struggled madly within the Rainbow Divine Light barrier. But since its vengeful aura had already been halved, its power had also decreased significantly.
The Rainbow Divine Light barrier shook intensely, but it didn’t shatter. Its glow just started getting increasingly dim.
Wooo!
Another strident cry rang out from the tunnel.
Another mass of black-red flames appeared in the tunnel. And its power was even stronger and more terrifying than the first Golden Crow.
Rumble!
A very dense fireball suddenly shot out of the black-red flames.
The fireball exuded boundless heat energy, such that it was like a small sun.
The Rainbow Divine Light barrier shook intensely the moment the fireball struck it. It was a massive impact.
Crack!
The barrier gradually cracked open, and the Golden Crow trapped inside was freed.
The red-gold body was enveloped once again by black vengeful aura. A tremendous murderous intent surged from it as if it wanted to destroy the entire world.
And as the two Golden Crows approached each other, their auras magnified at an unbelievable rate. It was like they were enhancing each other.
The two Golden Crows pursued Shen Tian. Everywhere the vengeful aura touched became dull and dim, even the runes inside the tunnel. The formerly magnificent tomb now looked somewhat dark and malevolent.
For a moment there, all those Sages from the different powers felt something heavy descend over their hearts.
As if something bad was about to happen!
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tian was executing his Electric Shadow Footwork while dragging Yue Yunde along. He covered over 10,000 feet in a second.
Following that, he executed his void skills, and the two of them hid inside the void with their auras completely concealed. They disappeared as if they had never existed in the first place.
Yue Yunde was totally awed by Shen Tian’s methods. He stared at Shen Tian with sparkling eyes as if admiring a perfect work of art or a priceless treasure.
The corners of Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “Senior Brother, I don’t swing that way.”
Yue Yunde was taken aback before his plump face broke out in an awkward smile. “Junior Brother, you misunderstand, I don’t usually swin— Erm... I mean, I don’t swing that way either.”
An eager expression crossed Yue Yunde’s face. “Junior Brother, you displayed the long-lost powerful technique of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground earlier. The Electric Shadow Footwork, right?”
Shen Tian nodded. “Yes. Why?”
Yue Yunde quickly asked again, “Did you learn it from that damn tortoise?”
The corners of Yue Yunde’s lips twitched slightly. “We are both Divine Firmament Saints. Why did that damn tortoise teach you and not me? So unfair!”
Shen Tian was amused by the sight of the peeved fat Taoist priest.
You keep calling him that damn tortoise. No wonder he refused to impart his secret core technique to you!
That self-proclaimed White Thearch is clearly not someone who forgives easily. With that foul mouth of yours, you are already lucky that he didn’t bite you.
Yue Yunde gazed woefully at Shen Tian. “Junior Brother, let’s make a deal. Teach me the Electric Shadow Footwork! I am your sect brother!”
Teach you the Electric Shadow Footwork?
Shen Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, he didn’t really care either way.
The Electric Shadow Footwork was very fast. It was even more powerful than the Kun Peng arts if one just looked at short-distance evasion.
But he had so many imperial sutras on him that the Electric Shadow Footwork was not that special. It was not something that he couldn’t live without. Shen Tian wouldn’t lose anything if he imparted it to anyone.
The problem was that this was a technique that Bai Di and Sacred Leader Golden Light had invented together. Even Sacred Leader Golden Light hadn’t taught this technique to just any random person.
Shen Tian felt that that tortoise might bite him in the future if he taught this technique to Yue Yunde.
Shen Tian smiled. “Well, I need to discuss this with my Dao companion first.”
Dao companion?
Yue Yunde was surprised. “You have a Dao companion?”
Shen Tian smiled again as he thought, No, I don’t have one. That’s why there’s nothing to discuss here.
At that moment, Yue Yunde looked horrified.
“Don’t tell me... It’s that tortoise?”
“Junior Brother became Dao companions with a tortoise just to learn this technique?
“And a male tortoise at that!?”
Shen Tian’s smile froze.
