Primordial Era: The Giant Turtle Returning from Immortality

The phantom of the Northern Sea roared behind him.

As Xuanming's pupils suddenly contracted and Styx looked on in disbelief, Guiyuan's figure began to expand and stretch terrifyingly!

The tortoise shell is weathered and its patterns resemble dragons, as if it were an ancient continent bearing the weight of the primordial land.

Its limbs were like pillars supporting the sky, rooted in the void; its head was raised, its gaze indifferent, looking down at the Taotie and Xuanming below, which resembled hills.

A colossal tortoise, so massive it blotted out half the sky, descended upon Changbai Mountain!

Its enormous size and immense power even caused the roar of the raging Taotie King to momentarily halt!

Both Styx and Xuanming were shaken.

They never expected that Guiyuan's true form could be so terrifyingly large!

However, what caught Styx and Xuanming completely off guard was yet to come!

"Yagami Returns to the Ultimate!"

Guiyuan's voice, as resounding as a great bell, echoed throughout heaven and earth.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! ...

In an instant, the void trembled, and divine light burst forth!

One, two, three... a total of eight enormous tortoise bodies, identical to the original Guiyuan body, appeared out of thin air!

Nine colossal tortoises supporting the sky, like nine divine mountains descended from the ancient times, surrounded the King of Taotie in the center!

That sight was enough to shatter the mind of any witness!

"die!"

The nine beings returned to their origin, shouting in unison. The combined sound waves, unleashed with incantations, exploded like a thunderclap from the heavens!

next moment.

Nine giant claws that seemed to cover the sky.

The chaotic air currents, tearing apart the chaos, carrying the purest and most savage power, slammed down from all directions toward the Taotie King at its core!

Before the claws even arrived, the extremely concentrated wind pressure had already caused the ground below to collapse several feet!

The Taotie sensed a deadly crisis and let out a defiant roar.

Forcibly extracting the last bit of essence from his body, the chaotic ripples of the Great Dao around him surged violently once again!

"roar--!"

It exerted all its strength to once again trigger that trace of the Great Luo's characteristics!

The power of time fluctuated obscurely, attempting to disperse and deflect the nine world-destroying attacks!

"Boom—!!!"

The nine claws slammed down, colliding fiercely with the forcibly condensed Great Luo characteristics!

The space shattered like a mirror, revealing the pitch-black void behind it.

The chaotic storm swept outwards like a tsunami, flattening the distant mountains!

The Taotie's body trembled violently, and its armor, which was harder than divine iron, cracked with a piercing sound.

It managed to block the attack, but the price it paid was that the blood hole in its chest, which had just healed, burst open again, and black blood gushed out like a waterfall!

"Now! Let's do it!"

Guiyuan's urgent shout was like a thunderclap, instantly waking up Minghe and Xuan, who had been slightly stunned by this earth-shattering scene.

Both were seasoned veterans, and they instantly suppressed their shock and unleashed their killing moves once more!

"Yuantu! Abi! Kill the God!"

Styx's eyes were sharp as swords, and the two swords behind him transformed into two blood-red rainbows, intertwined with pure killing principles.

Instead of attacking elsewhere, they focused solely on the ever-expanding blood hole in the Taotie's chest, frantically stabbing and strangling it!

"Mysterious Netherworld Fiend Fist!"

Xuanming took a deep breath, and his Ancestral Witch True Body expanded once more. The icy aura on his fists condensed to its extreme, resembling two warhammers forged from ancient ice.

In conjunction with Styx's killing sword, he punched again and again, slamming deep into the blood hole!

"Pfft! Thud! Crack!"

The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh, fists exploding with force, and bones shattering were incessant.

The Taotie let out a painful and furious roar.

It wanted to retaliate, to trigger the Great Luo's special ability again, and to use time to encircle and strangle these two annoying "bugs".

But the true forms of the nine Guiyuan Giant Turtles are like the most solid barrier.

Nine pairs of indifferent giant eyes locked onto it, and nine powerful auras acted like a cage, restricting all its movements!

It swung its claws, and a giant tortoise's claws met it, slapping it back.

When it bites, the tortoise shell remains as solid as a mountain, completely unmoved.

When it whips its tail, it's as if it's striking Mount Buzhou, the mountain that supports heaven and earth, causing its own bones to feel like they're about to crack.

Guiyuan single-handedly withstood most of Taotie's ferocity and counterattack!

Xuanming and the Styx River were able to unleash their attacks without any worries.

The Taotie's massive body was collapsing at a visible speed under the perfectly coordinated attack of the three.

The bloody hole in his chest was torn larger and larger, and one could almost see the pulsating, swirling internal organs and the core of his being, which were filled with chaotic and malevolent forces.

His limbs were severed by Styx's killing sword and blasted into ice shards by Xuanming's murderous fist.

Its head was also shattered by the occasional giant claws that Guiyuan slapped down, leaving it unrecognizable.

Its roars gradually changed from initial fury to sternness, and then to weakness and resentment...

at last.

A crimson sword light, imbued with the essence of slaughter, pierced through the broken core of the Styx River.

And then Xuanming unleashed a devastating punch that nearly froze space itself, shattering its core into ice shards.

The Taotie's massive, mountain-like body suddenly stiffened.

It then lost all its power and crashed onto the shattered earth like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar toppling, kicking up clouds of dust and malevolent energy.

"Is it over?" Xuanming breathed slightly, looking at the lifeless corpse.

Styx also relaxed slightly. The twin swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi, swirled around him, humming incessantly. Clearly, they had absorbed a massive amount of malevolent killing energy, making them even more spiritually potent.

However, their joy had only just begun to emerge.

Mutation and regeneration!

The place where the Taotie's corpse had originally "perished".

A dense, unyielding mass of chaotic evil, exuding an aura surpassing even the Taiyi realm, writhed and swirled violently as if it possessed life!

At the core of that malevolent aura, a trace of the "immortal" characteristic belonging to the Great Luo Emperor shone stubbornly, and began to forcefully absorb the remaining malevolent aura and fragments of laws from the surrounding world!

Under the influence of this force, that broken body began to slowly but steadily regenerate and mend itself!

"Not good!" Styx's pupils shrank sharply, and his expression became extremely solemn. "It still has the remaining characteristics of a Great Luo to protect its origin!"

In the realm of the Great Luo, as long as a trace of true nature remains, it can be reunited in the flow of time!

Although this Taotie is not a true Great Luo Immortal, with this particular characteristic, if it cannot be completely eradicated, it would likely take an immeasurable amount of time to truly kill it!

The Great Luo is hard to kill!

This is an inalienable law.

Even though Taotie is a ferocious beast and not entirely compatible with the Great Dao of the Primordial World, as long as its characteristics are touched, its life essence has already undergone a transformation, far exceeding the scope of Taiyi's understanding.

Upon hearing this, Xuanming's face also showed a hint of unease.

The Wu tribe also lacked the means to eradicate this Great Luo characteristic.

"Is the Great Luo difficult to kill?"

Just as Styx and Xuanming were feeling that the matter was becoming extremely troublesome, a cold voice rang out.

Guiyuan had retracted his eight clones, leaving only his main body, the massive Xuan Turtle True Body, suspended in the air, its enormous eyes gazing down at the ferocious source that was attempting to revive.

"Hmph! That's for other people!"

Before he finished speaking, a profound aura, unlike any supernatural power or law he had ever experienced before, suddenly emanated from Guiyuan's body!
