I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders
Chapter 449 Desiring the Blood of the Mysterious Tortoise, He Turns to the Ancient Calamity
Jiang Chen looked at him, his tone still calm.
"I want your blood."
Master Roshi's heart skipped a beat.
really!
His old face immediately wrinkled up even more, making him look like a turtle.
But he dared not refuse.
The fact that this young man could appear here so silently already showed that he was definitely not someone the young man could afford to offend.
Moreover, he knew very well that he had no martial arts skills.
As for the so-called immortal techniques, they are ancient almanacs from eight hundred generations ago.
The spiritual energy in this world has long been depleted. Let alone performing any earth-shattering immortal techniques, he now even needs a fire tumbler to light a fire.
Master Roshi's expression changed repeatedly, and in the end he could only force out a smile that looked worse than crying.
"OK."
"I'll give you a sip of blood."
"Leave after you finish your drink."
As he spoke, he carefully extended his wrist, his face contorted in pain.
"I still want to bask in the sun."
Jiang Chen didn't take his wrist, but simply shook his head.
"I don't want just one bite."
Master Roshi froze instantly.
Jiang Chen looked at him and spoke slowly.
"I want all the blood."
"puff--!"
Master Roshi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was so shocked, as if struck by lightning, that he jumped back several steps, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out a bit in fright.
"All the blood?!"
"Are you trying to send this old man to his death?!"
He glared at Jiang Chen, his voice cracking.
"Young man!"
"One shouldn't be so greedy!"
"If you want immortality, just one sip is enough!"
"Really, one bite is enough!"
"Not all of them!"
Jiang Chen looked at him, who seemed to want to shrink into the sand on the spot, but his expression remained calm.
One bite isn't enough.
Master Roshi's face twitched violently.
"Then... two bites?"
Jiang Chen said calmly:
"At least half."
Master Roshi almost jumped up again.
"half?!"
"Young man, do you know how many years it's taken for this old man to accumulate this blood?"
"You're asking for half of my life right off the bat. What's the difference between that and asking for half my life?"
He shouted a few words, but seeing that Jiang Chen still showed no intention of changing his mind, his voice involuntarily lowered.
Master Roshi's small, round eyes darted around Jiang Chen, and finally he couldn't help but ask:
"What do you need so much blood for?"
Jiang Chen didn't explain, but slowly raised his eyes.
next moment.
An aura so terrifying it was indescribable silently emanated from his body.
The originally gentle sea breeze on the island instantly turned scorching hot.
The soft white sand on the beach began to heat up, and a large cloud of white mist rose from the sea.
Master Roshi's expression changed, and just as he was about to shrink back, he saw three enormous phantom images of divine beasts, almost obscuring the sun, slowly emerge in the void behind Jiang Chen.
The first one was enveloped in crimson flames, standing amidst the fire.
Fire Qilin.
The second one resembled an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, its massive body standing upright in the air, its thick hind limbs like pillars supporting the sky, its ferocious dragon head lowered, and its scorching dragon breath spewing from between its sharp white teeth.
Divine Dragon.
The third one spread its wings, and golden-red divine flames rose into the sky.
Phoenix.
The phantoms of the three divine beasts appeared simultaneously on this isolated island, and a scorching heat wave swept over them. Even the distant ocean seemed to be boiling, churning up countless white bubbles.
Master Roshi stared wide-eyed, his mouth slowly opening wider.
At that moment, he finally understood.
"you……"
"You don't want to live forever."
His voice was dry, as if he had a handful of sand stuck in his throat.
"You want to merge the bloodlines of the four divine beasts!"
Even Master Roshi himself found those words absurd.
The Four Divine Beasts.
Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Tortoise.
Each one is the oldest anomaly in the world.
Ordinary mortals, let alone swallowing its blood, could be overwhelmed by the residual divine beast's will within it, even if they only come into contact with a tiny bit of it.
Especially the Fire Qilin and the Divine Dragon.
That kind of blood is so ferocious, intense, and domineering that if a mortal gets even a little bit of it, it will cause their meridians to become disordered, their inner demons to surge, and they will eventually go mad and become a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
But behind this young man, three divine beast phantoms—a fire qilin, a divine dragon, and a phoenix—simultaneously appeared.
This is definitely not something that can be achieved simply by drinking a mouthful of blood.
His body must have already absorbed a large amount of divine beast essence and blood.
It's not just about swallowing.
Instead, he forcibly fused the bloodlines of divine beasts, which should have been in conflict and strong enough to burst a mortal's body, into his own body.
Master Roshi looked at Jiang Chen, and for the first time, his gaze truly changed.
That wasn't the look you'd give an ordinary person seeking immortality.
Instead, it was like looking at a monster that should never exist in this world.
"impossible……"
Master Roshi murmured:
"How could a mere mortal possess such a body?"
"How could they possibly withstand the blood of the three divine beasts?"
Jiang Chen concealed his aura.
The three illusory images of divine beasts slowly dissipated behind him, and the intense heat on the island also disappeared as the tide receded.
The sea breeze is blowing again.
Master Roshi lost all interest in sunbathing.
He stared at Jiang Chen, his face full of surprise and uncertainty.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, then suddenly said calmly:
"Because I am not a person of this world."
Master Roshi was stunned.
"Not from this world?"
Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression so calm that not a trace of his true feelings could be seen.
"I come from outer space."
The word "Tian Wai" fell.
Master Roshi's expression finally changed completely.
When Jiang Chen called out "Master Roshi" earlier, he was just shocked.
But at this moment, what appeared in his eyes was an almost instinctive horror.
"From beyond the heavens?"
Master Roshi's voice has changed.
"impossible!"
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have long been completely sealed off; neither can one get out nor come in."
"Don't even mention you, even a saint couldn't easily enter this realm from beyond the heavens!"
As soon as he said it, he abruptly shut his mouth.
But it was too late.
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?
saint?
blockade?
This seemingly cowardly and lazy old tortoise actually knew the secrets of ancient times.
It's not a secret of the martial arts world that's hundreds or thousands of years old.
Instead, it is the ancient tale of heaven and earth buried at the end of the primordial world, a tale so fragmented that even later legends have become incomplete.
More importantly, it has not only survived from the primordial era to the present day, but it can also speak.
This means that what it knows is no longer just ancient legends that are untouchable and unquestionable.
Rather, it is the answer that could actually be asked of it.
Jiang Chen's thoughts shifted, and he temporarily suppressed his original intention to forcibly obtain the turtle's blood.
The blood can be collected later.
But what's truly rare is what's in the old tortoise's head.
In this world, there is a legend of Nuwa mending the sky.
It contains ancient mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and divine turtles.
There is the Heavenly Way, the Old Heaven, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Even the name of a so-called saint came out of Master Turtle's mouth.
Jiang Chen had long felt that this world had some inexplicable similarity to the ancient legends he knew from his previous life.
The clues from the past are just too scattered.
He could only piece it together bit by bit through deduction.
And now, an old man who truly survived from that era is standing right in front of me.
Since that's the case, we can't just use force.
By forcing the issue, he was letting Master Roshi know that he had no right to refuse.
Now, it's time to switch to a softer version.
Jiang Chen slowly withdrew the oppressive aura he had exuded, and his expression softened considerably.
He bowed slightly to Master Roshi.
"senior."
Master Roshi shuddered at the sound.
He had thought the young man was about to bleed him out.
The other party suddenly became polite, which made him even more uneasy.
"You, you shouldn't do this."
Master Roshi shrank his neck and looked at him warily.
"If you do this, I'll feel even more uneasy."
Jiang Chen didn't care, and simply said calmly:
"I have come here today because I wish to obtain half of your essence blood, senior."
Master Roshi's lips twitched.
Jiang Chen continued:
"But before that, there's something else I'd like to know."
Master Roshi's eyelids twitched.
"What is it?"
Jiang Chen looked at him, his tone becoming more serious.
What exactly happened in ancient times?
For a moment, even the sea breeze seemed to quiet down.
Master Roshi's comical and panicked expression gradually subsided.
Jiang Chen continued to ask:
Why was the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths sealed off?
Master Roshi did not answer immediately.
He squinted his small, round eyes and stared at Jiang Chen suspiciously for a long time.
"That's not right."
"Since you are from beyond the heavens, and can even predict the fate of an old man like me who is not destined for destiny, how could you not know what happened in ancient times?"
Jiang Chen remained expressionless.
He was naturally prepared for this kind of problem.
"My skills are still shallow."
"If we only consider the events of this modern era, we can still glean some clues."
"But the ancient times are too far back, and there are the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths blocking the way and the changes of the Heavenly Dao in between."
"With my current cultivation level, I am not yet able to cross such a long gap in time."
After hearing this, Master Roshi's suspicion subsided somewhat.
That reason is plausible.
The secrets of heaven cannot be calculated at will; the further back in time, the deeper the entanglements.
Not to mention the ancient times when even the heavens and earth themselves were shattered.
Master Roshi shrank his neck and asked slowly:
"You really want to know?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
"think."
Master Roshi's eyes darted around.
"I have one request."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
"Please speak, senior."
He paused, then added:
"Do you want a beautiful woman or a handsome man?"
"I could have been snatched away by you, senior."
Master Roshi was taken aback at first.
He immediately flew into a rage.
"fart!"
"What do you take me for?"
Jiang Chen was also taken aback.
He looked at the old man named Master Roshi in front of him, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind.
In his memory, old men with this name did seem to be somewhat frivolous.
It seems like they've mixed up the shows.
Jiang Chen's complexion quickly returned to normal.
"I misspoke."
"What would you like me to do, senior?"
Master Roshi snorted, his anger coming and going quickly.
He glanced again at the broken bamboo chair he had kicked apart, then simply plopped down on the beach, hugging his knees and curling up like an old man who was afraid of the cold.
"Hundreds of years ago, I traveled to the desert."
"I wasn't that cautious back then."
"Thinking that the world has been quiet for so many years, there shouldn't be anyone who recognizes this old man anymore."
"The result was unfortunate."
"My true identity was accidentally discovered."
