Chapter 869: No Zuo No Die
For the majority of people, when they discovered a Spiritual Eye, they would seal them off in a barrier, causing the spiritual energy in the area to become particularly strong which would then ease cultivation.
For the already formed worlds, this impact would certainly be much smaller.
Taking the Tempest Ocean Realm as an example, it was rich in spiritual energy had abundant Spiritual Eyes, hence the meager impact.
However, for a world that was rapidly recovering like the earth, Spiritual Eyes becoming privately occupied would greatly affect the speed of spiritual energy recovery.
Therefore, a long time ago, the Earth Federation had enacted laws prohibiting private possession of Spiritual Eyes, and whoever was caught would get their entire clan executed. So far, there had been no exceptions.
Lu Xuan discovered that the Spiritual Eye in this deep-sea snapping turtle was sealed off by a special technique that allowed spiritual energy to condense within a radius of less than a kilometer.
The intensity of spiritual energy within this range was at a level where it was on the verge of liquifying. It was unknown how many years of accumulation would it take to achieve this effect.
When Lu Xuan was still in a state of shock, not knowing what this deep-sea snapping turtle was up to, all of a sudden, at the very core of the Spiritual Eye, he saw a ginormous deep-sea snapping turtle hundreds of meters tall lying on the Spiritual Eye while an ocean of spiritual energy poured into its body at an astonishing pace.
Lu Xuan immediately deduced that this one was the leader of this group of deep-sea snapping turtles. Its dormant aura was extremely wide-spanning, even when compared with that of Xiaoyao Hou whom Lu Xuan had killed earlier on.
Judging from the growth cycle of the deep-sea snapping turtle, this deep-sea snapping turtle must have been alive for at least two thousand years to have grown naturally to this point. It could already be considered a Great Ancestor.
Right now, this deep-sea snapping turtle chief was obviously undergoing a breakthrough.
Monsters were different from humans. The bloodline within the human body was weak. Hence, they had to cultivate and enhance their power via external means.
However, things were different for these monsters. Their bloodline itself contained enormous power, and it would suffice as long as they keep unearthing their own bloodline during cultivation. They do not need any other methods at all.
Hence, even if they lazed all day, if they keep on growing naturally, they would arrive at a point where humans could never reach.
Even when most of them have mediocrely developed wisdom, their strength would still be terrifying.
This was also something that countless humans were extremely envious of.
Evidently, this deep-sea snapping turtle was striving to attain a breakthrough, and the process was almost complete. Lu Xuan saw that its entire body was emitting a dazzling brilliance, which was particularly eye-catching in the murky depths of the sea.
At the same time, the aura on its body was constantly intensifying in a way that implied that success was within reach.
Evidently, the deep-sea snapping turtle clan had made this Spiritual Eye its territory and had made a gesture of sealing away the Spiritual Eye to allow this deep-sea snapping turtle leader to successfully attain a breakthrough.
Just as Lu Xuan was thinking about interrupting it, he heard a clamor in the distance. Fights were breaking out.
But the sound of fighting was getting closer.
Obviously, the deep-sea snapping turtles could not stop Li Shou’s advance, and Li Shou was breaking in at an alarming speed.
Lu Xuan immediately came up with a plan. He did not make a move but continued to hide amid the darkness.
Li Shou’s was getting closer and closer, and the deep-sea snapping turtle chief was becoming more and more impatient. Sure enough, it was also in a hurry to attain a breakthrough.
At last, a terrifying aura was unleashed from the deep-sea snapping turtle chief’s body. The terrifying aura incited waves hundreds of feet tall in the deep sea that swept towards all directions.
Even Lu Xuan was compelled to use the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell to firm up the surrounding space. Otherwise, even he would have been swept away directly.
This deep-sea snapping turtle chief attained a breakthrough, successfully advancing to the Consolidation Realm.
“Roar!”
After breaking into the Consolidation Realm, the deep-sea snapping turtle chief bellowed in rage. It had already discovered that most of its clanmates had been killed by Li Shou within such a short time.
Even the deep-sea snapping turtles at the Three Flower Realm were unable to hinder Li Shou’s footsteps.
For those at the Three Flower Realm, entities at the Consolidation Realm were deemed to be able to crush them. It was impossible for them to face up against such terrifying existences at all.
The deep-sea snapping turtle chief ejected a water bullet that penetrated the seawater at lightning speed and arrived in front of Li Shou.
Having just killed the last of the deep-sea snapping turtles at the Three Flower Realm, Li Shou was unprepared and was hit by the water bullet. His entire body was blasted thousands of feet away before he barely managed to stabilize his figure.
This attack caused Li Shou’s mouth to bleed. After all, it was a force at the Consolidation Realm. To him, it was no longer an insignificant attack.
Suddenly, before he could react, a figure that was as fast as lightning had swum to him in the deep sea.
Li Shou’s speed was already very fast, but in the deep sea, the speed where this monster swam over was even faster, and that monster was the deep-sea snapping turtle chief.
After all, no matter how good Li Shou was at the Water Dispelling Chant, at the end of the day, it was just a spell that he had mastered. For the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, manipulating magics of the Water Element was instinctive.
How could the acquired Water Dispelling Chant rival against innate magics that allow the manipulation of water?
The massive silhouette the size of a small mountain immediately shocked Li Shou. He finally realized that it was a deep-sea snapping turtle and what’s more, a deep-sea snapping turtle chief which was obviously a few sizes larger than the ordinary deep-sea snapping turtle.
Li Shou finally realized that he had stabbed a hornet’s nest.
Aces at the Consolidation Realm could rule over storms and oceans and were invincible, but the premise was that there must not be another Consolidation Realm. Otherwise, everything would become hard to say.
Besides, from the aura of the deep-sea snapping turtle chief, Li Shou could also tell that it could be the leader of the deep-sea snapping turtles that was undergoing a breakthrough earlier on.
Initially, he just wanted to get rid of those troublesome deep-sea snapping turtles, but when he noticed that the deep-sea snapping turtle chief was having a breakthrough, he immediately went wild and launched a massacre.
At this moment, he had stepped into the territory of the deep-sea snapping turtles. Staying on friendly terms was impossible, and the only way to kill them all.
Who would have thought that, in order to give their leader enough time to complete its breakthrough, those deep-sea snapping turtles would charge at him this desperately as if they had gone insane and use their very lives to hinder his advance?
But sure enough, they did manage to buy enough time for this deep-sea snapping turtle chief which brought about the trouble at hand.
Looking at the eyes of the behemoth of the deep sea that were scarlet-red and on the brink of shedding tears of blood, he knew that friendliness was out of the picture.
After he had slaughtered all its people, how would it possibly let him go?
If someone were to massacre the Xuanhuo Sect, he could hunt that person for a lifetime!
Li Shou took a deep breath and said, “With things the way they are, I no longer have a choice. I will get rid of you and then go after that little gnat!”
