The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 340 The Primordial Divine Tree is Thirty Thousand Feet Tall

Zhou Yan grabbed the stick with one hand. It felt as heavy as iron and as smooth as jade. An extremely strong humanistic energy swirled and changed on it, moving like thunder. Zhou Yan's ultimate weapon technique had reached the second level. With a single turn of the weapon master's true essence, he had already gained control of this divine weapon.

While it's far from operating perfectly, it's not bad either.

A pair of divine eyes locked onto the enormous divine bell, and he leaped into the air. However, he did not expect that a fierce and sharp Geng metal aura would slash towards Zhou Yan. The only weapon Zhou Yan had left was Madam Xu's sword, which was no match for such a move.

He had no choice but to grip the stick in his hand and swing it around.

The club slammed into the fierce Geng metal aura. The Golden Heaven King's innate Geng metal aura naturally carried an unparalleled sharpness, containing many variations, making it an extremely remarkable divine power.

The staff in Zhou Yan's hand, apart from being imbued with a strong sense of human destiny, was nothing special. If one had to describe it, it was simply that it was sturdy enough, heavy enough, and when it struck down, it had a powerful and overwhelming force.

However, it directly shattered the Golden Heavenly King's Gengjin Divine Power.

Zhou Yan had been prepared for Jin Tianwang's actions.

Rather, it would be unbecoming of King Jin if he didn't react when he got the treasure. His eyes locked onto the enormous wave bell, his feet landed on the ground, his right hand gripping the staff, gathering his strength.

With his feet connected to the earth's veins, he denied the earth's gravitational pull on his body in the name of the Heavenly Pillar, just as he was about to leap away. Suddenly, Kaiming's voice came, as if shouting across the water.

Blurry.

"...Zhou Yan, watch out!"

"Gong... Gong".

It was Gonggong!
Suddenly, Zhou Yan felt a series of cold, stinging pains in his left arm. Yu Wang's chains exploded, creating layers of golden ripples. Zhou Yan 'saw' that the surrounding water element had transformed into an incomparably majestic giant.

Gonggong, the water god?! But isn't he supposed to be unable to take action?
A thought flashed through Zhou Yan's mind.

Yes, the other ancient gods were sealed outside.

But Gonggong was different.

Gonggong was in a special state, a top god who was sealed in the human world layer by layer. This meant that even if Fuxi blocked the outside, he could not stop Gonggong.

The water element that Zhou Yan devoured from the water god Gonggong was extremely important to Gonggong. Although it was only a wisp or strand, it was the key to whether Gonggong's path was perfected.

Even if the water god Gonggong were to act on instinct, he would still kill Zhou Yan.

That vast, magnificent, and awe-inspiring aura was almost beyond words. Zhou Yan, Jin Tianwang, and Kaiming were all instantly powerless to resist, and Gonggong didn't even really make a move against Zhou Yan.

An immense and powerful force exploded violently.

Then it disappeared.

Zhou Yan was still reeling from Gonggong's sudden appearance and disappearance when he suddenly felt an intense tearing pain coming from the Gonggong Water Element in his left arm. He saw the vast water element dissipate, and cracks appeared in the void.

Immediately, an extremely violent roar exploded out.

The rift ahead exploded open, and an enormous ancient dragon turtle head smashed through the spatial rift. It was so huge that it seemed to be larger than this mountain. The seal of the [Doushuai Palace] on the ancient dragon turtle head was shattered by a powerful water element.

The water god Gonggong has finally made his move, after spending five hundred years of his cultivation.

Or perhaps, this time, the water god Gonggong realized that he could not win under the current order and rules, so he spared no expense to forcibly shatter the seal of the dragon turtle.

The enormous roar exploded, and the ancient dragon turtle, having learned its lesson from the last time, disregarded everything this time. Relying on the secret intervention of the water god Gonggong, it broke free of the seal. As soon as it was free, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhou Yan.

This ancient dragon turtle seemed to have been holding back a lot of anger, and its murderous aura was extremely strong. As soon as it was freed, it did not hesitate to unleash all its power and burst out with its strongest divine ability.

"Devouring the heavens—devouring the earth!!!"

As soon as it opened its mouth, a terrifying attraction appeared, transforming into an incredibly violent pulling force. Zhou Yan's body was pulled off balance, and he could only slam the stick in his hand into the ground to maintain his balance.

However, they still lost the initiative.

That boundless energy and power that could support heaven and earth seemed to possess an unparalleled divine ability that could devour all things under heaven. Compared to the dragon-turtle clan, which could support the sky, Zhou Yan's body was still too small.

Zhou Yan barely lasted long before he was swallowed whole by this great divine power. It seemed that the ancient dragon turtle had been extremely hostile towards Zhou Yan because of their previous two encounters. Not only did it unleash a great divine power at the start, it also fiercely bit down on the stick in Zhou Yan's hand that contained the luck of humanity.

When the dragon-turtle's true form unleashed its immense power, it could break even ordinary divine weapons.

He planned to bite Zhou Yan and the stick to pieces together!
Zhou Yan was forcibly controlled by his top-notch supernatural power, making it difficult for him to struggle.

It was truly at the most dangerous and fatal critical moment.

The malevolent energy of Geng metal came from the outside and transformed into a giant that stood tall and firm. With its hands clenched, it transformed into an extremely ancient-looking spear, which then viciously pierced through the mouth of the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

The Golden King roared, "Killing Zhou Yan is acceptable!"

"Don't damage the treasure!"

This blow pierced the dragon turtle's mouth, but Zhou Yan seized the opportunity, pressed down on the Dharma image, and soared into the air.

The ancient dragon turtle didn't care about any of that. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it grew even more frenzied and enraged in pain: "Good, good, good!"

"In that case, come over here too!"

"You two, you really are in cahoots!"

The Golden Heavenly King was immediately recognized by the Primordial Dragon Turtle as Zhou Yan's good comrade-in-arms and brother who had gone through thick and thin together. Even in the Primordial Era, he was a famous and powerful divine ability that devoured heaven and earth, and he immediately unleashed it.

The Golden Heavenly King was also enveloped in it.

Zhou Yan and Jin Tianwang each used their supernatural powers to protect themselves before being swallowed whole. This ancient dragon turtle had suffered two heavy losses at Zhou Yan's hands, and now it had finally gotten some revenge. Feeling exhilarated, it raised its head and roared with laughter.

The laughter was like thunder, shaking all directions and causing the entire Heavenly Palace to tremble. Many aquatic monsters also landed in Langzhong City following the appearance of the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

Although Yuan Yufeng was a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, before meeting Zhou Yan, he was just a state soldier guarding the gate.

Upon seeing the Taoist priest who had just obtained the treasure here, he was immediately swallowed up by a dragon turtle that was larger than a mountain and even larger than the entire city of Langzhong. He felt dizzy and disoriented.

The scholar in the green robe beside him grabbed Yuan Tiangang's descendant and stared intently at the changes happening over there. In the blink of an eye, before Kaiming could even help, Zhou Yan was devoured. He could only grit his teeth in hatred and say:

"...Does this dragon turtle have such a deep grudge against Zhou Yan?"

"Damn it, Gonggong is actually willing to sacrifice five hundred years of his cultivation to bring the Primordial Dragon Turtle into the world. These guys are all going crazy..."

"Yuan Yufeng, you go back first and hide yourself well."

Yuan Yufeng, as an ordinary person, was already dizzy and disoriented upon witnessing such changes. Hearing Kaiming's words, she instinctively asked, "And what about you, sir?"

"I?"

Kaiming watched as the ancient dragon turtle began to move its body, its subtle steps causing the entire earth to tremble. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead and temples, but he still smiled and said, "...That guy won't be digested so easily."

"Sir, this time I need to buy him some time."

Saying this, he grabbed Yuan Yufeng by the collar and said, "Go back!" He threw him forcefully. Yuan Yufeng felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he were floating on clouds. He reached out and grabbed wildly, and then felt a pain in his buttocks as he landed on the ground.

From the side came the astonished words of Old Liu, who had said he would take care of him in his old age: "You, how did you fall from the sky?!"

"I, of course I am..."

Yuan Yufeng asked, bewildered and at a loss:
"Hey? Old Liu, what are you doing here?" Old Liu seemed even more puzzled than him, and said:
"What? How did I get here? If I'm not here, where else could I be?"

Yuan Yufeng was stunned. He looked around and realized that he had returned to the back, back to the antique shop where he had been before. Suddenly, he heard a series of roars and saw the huge dragon turtle moving slowly in the distance.

Just by lifting its foot, it was as if a mountain had crashed down, and layers of clouds dispersed. The giant dragon turtle raised its head, as if it could pierce through the highest clouds and penetrate the stratosphere. Its lowered eyes seemed to be larger than two bright moons.

The ancient dragon turtle's eyes swept across and saw Ao Xuantao, the lion cat.

He paid no attention to these two beings who also had the bloodline of divine beasts. He was the younger brother of the giant turtle that supported the sky, an ancient fierce god, and a minister of Gonggong. He was extremely powerful and had a strong bloodline. The reason he had suffered losses in the past was because he was actually sealed.

Now that he was free, he was confident that he could carry out Gonggong's orders and head towards the huge golden wave bell. But at this moment, he was pressed down hard by a huge claw, and his blood and qi exploded. He was unable to resist it instantly.

Golden clouds unfolded in layers, shifting and intertwining. A nine-headed, human-faced tiger appeared faintly behind the ancient dragon turtle, though most of its nine heads were obscured by the clouds, resulting in a weaker display of its form and power.

The Primordial Dragon Turtle said, "Enlightened!"

"You actually dared to stop me?!" At first, she was slightly afraid, but she quickly realized that Kaiming's aura was extremely unstable, so she said, "You—you are seriously injured!"

"Hmph, if you were the original Three Gods of Kunlun, I wouldn't say a word. But with your current methods and abilities, do you still want to fight me?!"

Kaiming suppressed his boiling blood and stinging pain, and said coldly:
"A cowardly turtle."

"Spit that brat out for me!"

........................

While Kaiming, still recovering from serious injuries, revealed a portion of his true form to fight the Primordial Dragon Turtle, the aftershocks of the battle shaking the surrounding areas, Zhou Yan and Jin Tianwang were both swallowed, though they ended up in different places.

This time, the Primordial Dragon Turtle used its great supernatural powers.

This overwhelming force made Zhou Yan dizzy. When he finally opened his eyes, he only felt an intense stinging pain in his arm. Through his blurry vision, he could see the Yuwang Chain on his left arm emitting golden light, and the flesh and blood of his left arm seemed to be turning into a clear, watery texture.

"...Gonggong's erosion has worsened again, damn it..."

"Gonggong actually values ​​this water element so much?!"

Zhou Yan staggered to his feet, his mind racing with thoughts. He hadn't expected Gonggong to drop all pretense and actually make a move, nor had he expected the Primordial Dragon Turtle to unleash such powerful and violent abilities.

They were just one step away.

Stimulated by the great power of the Primordial Dragon Turtle, Zhou Yan's fatigue from battles finally erupted. Coupled with the activation of the Gonggong mark in his left arm, he was now extremely weak, and his heart was almost completely swallowed by despair.

There was even a thought of giving up completely.

He had a thought: why not just lay down and give up? He'd already given it his all; losing wouldn't matter. But as he thought this, he saw the dead Wang Wan'er, the seriously injured Li Zhiwei, Shen Cangming, Pei Xuan Niao…

Faces flashed through his mind.

These feelings transformed into a wisp of energy, stubbornly supporting him from the depths of his heart.

We need to hold on, hold on...

His breathing was heavy, like a string stretched to its limit, about to snap at any moment. The world that had been burdened in his soul had now become a mental burden, seemingly about to crush him completely.

As an ordinary mortal, he faces the conspiracy of ancient gods and primordial beasts.

There are always some who overestimate their abilities.

His greatest reliance was nothing more than the "Book of Bai Ze," but what was the true form of Bai Ze compared to Gonggong?
At this moment, there was no Fuxi, no Kaiming, no Shen Cangming, and no teammates.

He was the only one left, swallowed whole by the ancient mythical beast that had broken free of its confinement and seal.

Zhou Yan pressed his right hand heavily on the ground, using his five fingers to support himself as he slowly got up, breathing heavily. He struggled, rising again in despair, his thoughts like fragments, beginning to recombine.

Gonggong paid a price to intervene, and the ancient dragon-turtle escaped its predicament.

Damn it, I was originally planning to [strike the giant bell, shake the world, awaken hundreds of thousands of people from their dreams, and restore the Dream of Huaxu to normal, thus preventing Shi's conspiracy and preventing the Primordial Dragon Turtle from being unsealed].

"Cough cough... Damn it, the plan is indeed about to succeed."

"But the only thing we didn't expect was that Gonggong would personally step in and sacrifice his own life force to unseal the dragon turtle... Was he flipping the table?"

Langzhong is about to be destroyed by the wrath of the ancient dragon turtle.

The ancient city of Langzhong, the fairyland of Langyuan, and the dream of Huaxu will become the anchor point for the return of the ancient gods. Three hundred thousand people here will die, and then the calamity will spread like a tide, swallowing up Sichuan, and then the entire southwest, and the entire human world.

Damn!

Zhou Yan gripped the bell pestle he had painstakingly obtained, struggled to his feet, and his weary spirit and the despair he had gained from the battle were rekindled.

Even in despair, even when exhausted from battle, they still did not give up.

Even though it was like the afterglow of a flame that had burned out completely.

At this moment, the target is corrected—

The ancient dragon turtle has been unsealed.

What is needed is to kill this infamous evil god from the ancient times outside of Langzhong before the Primordial Dragon Turtle at its peak destroys Langzhong, using one's fourth-grade cultivation level!

Within Zhou Yan's body, the fighting spirit burned like fire, gradually gathering again. At this moment, a joyful and encouraging divine thought suddenly emanated from Zhou Yan's sleeve. Zhou Yan noticed that it was a three-legged golden crow.

Zhou Yan was stunned, and a thought arose in his mind.

'Even if the Earth's essence and the Heaven's collapse were to emerge from within, it would only create a hole for this guy.'

"Could that three-legged golden crow kill the ancient dragon turtle...?"

But the three-legged golden crow suddenly transformed into a beam of light and flew out from Zhou Yan's sleeve. Zhou Yan, supporting his battle-weary body, staggered and chased after it. This was inside the dragon turtle's body, which was enormous. But when he followed the trail of the three-legged golden crow, he was slightly taken aback.

An ancient, verdant tree grows here!

It exudes the energies of metal and wood, both of which belong to the innate category!

This spear was formed from the heartwood of the bronze divine tree that Jin Tianwang obtained from An Lushan. It was swallowed by the Primordial Dragon Turtle when Zhou Yan first encountered it. However, the Primordial Dragon Turtle was composed of the two elements of water and earth!
The two elements of water and soil nourish metal and wood.

The five elements of nature are countered by fire.

As Zhou Yan looked at the Primordial Divine Tree that he had pierced and swallowed by the Primordial Dragon Turtle, which had coincidentally grown inside the Primordial Dragon Turtle's body, and the three-legged golden crow standing on the Primordial Divine Tree, spreading its feathers and golden flames, his heart pounded violently.

In terms of power, the Great Sun Fire is enough to annihilate the giant turtle that supports the sky.

However, the three-legged golden crow was too weak at this moment.

unless……

Zhou Yan reached out and placed his hand on the bronze sacred wood, his eyes burning with the last flame.

"Unless something happens to restore his strength!"

A crazy idea was born in his mind.
