Chapter 259 - 259 256 1 Yuan Heavy Water Exotic Beast Dragon Turtle
Chapter 259: Chapter 256: 1 Yuan Heavy Water Exotic Beast Dragon Turtle Chapter 259: Chapter 256: 1 Yuan Heavy Water Exotic Beast Dragon Turtle High above, the Dark Flame Demon God was seething with unparalleled wrath.
At that moment, he sensed a wisp of his own magic power.
Such power was generally bestowed by him upon the otherworldly believers to grant them strength, which facilitated their offerings to him; he had not expected to suddenly feel such power on the battlefield below.

Out of curiosity, he directed his gaze towards the ground, looking in the direction from where he sensed the magic power.
And then, he saw an ugly spider.
This puzzled him.
…
In his recollection, he had never had the habit of bestowing magic power on an unsightly demon beast like a spider, and he didn’t seem to have any spider believers either.
He knew that there were some spider-type demon beasts in the world, but they were, after all, a minority.
Compared to the vast population of intelligent lifeforms, their numbers were too insignificant for him to bother collecting.
Could it be that the spider had stolen a thread of his magic power?
That couldn’t be right; it was far too weak to accomplish such a feat.
While pondering, with a mere shift of his gaze, he noticed the young man next to the spider.
Then, he immediately recognized the youth.
After all, this was the only person bold enough to deceive him, a believer who had been granted his favor only to betray him at the next turn.
It was precisely because of this youth’s treachery that invaders from the outside world had come, leading numerous monsters and members of the Human Clan to storm his fortress, ravaging his domain.
Now, his castle was engulfed in the flames of war; even his most elite and strongest Guard Army had been slaughtered in droves by a group of mighty beings, suffering heavy casualties.
As for his palace, it was left battered and in ruins.
All of this was because of that young man.
All the enemies were brought here by him.
It seemed that his audacity to betray him was largely because the thread of magic power he had granted did not enter the body of the young man but was instead absorbed by the spider.
Having realized this, the Dark Flame Demon God grew even more furiously enraged.
Being deceived, having his magic power stolen by that hideous substitute spider – what a death-deserving act!
He wanted to kill that young Human Clan youth.
Yet, the old Human Clan man he was battling was incredibly formidable; although it seemed he was mostly on the defensive, an odd force was entangling him.
Whenever he showed a hint of relaxation, his opponent would employ an extremely powerful Technique, forcing him to respond with all his might.
Even in alliance with the Nega Demon God, it was unexpected that the two of them could only manage a stalemate.
This shocked and baffled him.
Since when did the Human Clan possess such formidable strength?
In his experience, even if the Human Clan could occupy a world and nominally become its Sovereign, they were just lambs harvested by All Gods for faith, never capable of possessing strength greater than his.
And yet, now a few dozen powerful Human Clan Divine Beings had emerged out of nowhere.
No, not Divine Beings!
The Dark Flame Demon God quickly realized that these members of the Human Clan did not carry the slightest trace of the Power of Faith, indicating that they had not gained their strength from it.
With the Gui Ling Ancestor occupied in restraining him, he simply could not spare the energy to deal with the treacherous wretch below.
After fending off another onslaught from the Gui Ling Ancestor, the Dark Flame Demon God was just about to use his sense of the magic power to control the spider and kill the youth when he found that his connection to the spider had been severed.
But he was certain that the spider had not perished; rather, it must have been taken into a special space.
Could it be that the young man was a master of Space Magic?
Or perhaps he possessed a space-related Treasure; otherwise, there would be no way to hide the spider so swiftly.
While the Dark Flame Demon God mused over his suspicions, he suddenly felt a weird and dangerous aura burrowing into his body.
This aura was incredibly strange; as soon as it appeared, it entwined his Divine Soul and permeated his body, cold chills surging straight to his heart, and a sense of weakness gradually overtaking him.
He was horrified.
What kind of attack was this, so strange and eerie?
He mobilized the vast Magic Power within him, flames erupting around his body as he transformed into a burning Demon God.
The Nega Demon God, who was fighting by his side, thought he was exerting his full force in a desperate bid and was overjoyed, roaring out loud and charging forth with his two Chain Maces.
He wanted to cooperate with the Dark Flame Demon God to take down the troublesome Human Clan elder.
However, the expected coordination did not manifest.
The Dark Flame Demon God released a roar to the heavens, his voice filled with endless agony.
Before his roar could finish, his voice shifted from rage to a wail of despair, and his aura began to decline sharply.
The entire person became listless and weak, and the demon flame that had been burning vigorously on his body became thin, as if it would extinguish at any moment.
Nega Demon God was somewhat astonished.
He didn’t understand how the once incomparably powerful Dark Flame Demon God had suddenly wilted.
“Dark Flame, what’s wrong with you?”
Nega Demon God shouted loudly.
Now was not the time to hide his strength; what mattered was to quickly take down this opponent.
Dark Flame Demon God felt depressed.
He had no clue what this was all about.
He had just mobilized all his magic power, only to find that the strange attack wasn’t coming from outside his body, but from within.
Or rather, a peculiar force that seemed to have grown from the depths of his soul was attacking him.
No, this wasn’t an attack in the conventional sense, this was… a curse?!
Dark Flame Demon God was filled with terror.
He had been cursed!
A sense of great fatigue emanated from his body and soul, cold, helpless, weary, pained, numb, utterly lacking in interest in life, and a host of other negative emotions flooded his mind, giving him an impulsive desire to die.
Fortunately, he too was a seasoned demon god and wasn’t about to do something foolish for real.
So he rallied his spirits and was about to respond to Nega Demon God when he saw the old man from the Human Clan, who had been on the defensive most of the time, suddenly increase in aura, becoming extremely fierce in an instant, a huge turtle shell materialized behind him, covered with mysterious golden runes.
Afterward, the whole person looked as if they had transformed into an enormous, ferocious giant turtle, opening its fanged mouth to bite at him.
Of course, this was an illusion, an attack that Gui Ling Ancestor launched against his soul.
With Gui Ling Ancestor’s status, it wasn’t possible for him to actually transform into a giant turtle and bite someone.
At the same time, Gui Ling Ancestor took Nega Demon God’s attack head-on without dodging, withstanding the heavy blow with that massive turtle shell around him, his figure firm and unmoving as a mountain.
When the turtle shell was hit by the chain maces, it immediately emitted countless golden sparks, with golden divine runes appearing.
Ignoring Nega Demon God, Gui Ling Ancestor pounced directly towards Dark Flame Demon God.
This was his Primordial Divine Power, originally used for Prediction Calculation.
However, the divine runes it now manifested also had the effect of killing enemies.
The main reason Gui Ling Ancestor chose to engage in battle with Dark Flame Demon God was that they had long planned it.
When he previously probed Dark Flame Demon God through a fragment of his divine soul, he had roughly assessed the strengths and weaknesses of Dark Flame Demon God.
Now, with his enemy cursed by Yin San with the “Netherworld Yin Snake Seven Incantations,” he was confident that he could slay him on the spot.
Although Gui Ling Ancestor wasn’t really suited for direct combat, he was better off being reclusive, acting as a strategist.
The one who had always been used by the Beast Taming Sect to deter all sides was the Jue Tian Ancestor, famed for his immense combat power.
But reaching this realm and having survived from the ancient times as a cultivator, how could he not possess several trump cards?
Moreover, to compensate for his weaknesses, he had specially cultivated an Exotic Beast Dragon Turtle suitable for combat.
The Dragon Turtle, which could also be called a Turtle Dragon.
Because it had a relatively pure Dragon Clan bloodline, it counted as a branch of the Dragon Clan.
Aside from having a dragon-shaped head, the rest of its body bore no resemblance to dragons.
The Dragon Turtle was ferocious by nature; its body was as large as a small hill, with just its turtle shell spanning five hundred zhang.
Its sturdy limbs were like giant columns reaching into the sky, and on its back grew two massive tails.
At the end of each tail was something that resembled a nail-headed hammer, swinging as if it could shatter the void.
In some ways, the Dragon Turtle was similar to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
However, unlike the Fox Clan, which grew a new tail with every advancement, the Dragon Turtle only grew a second tail after achieving enlightenment.
If it could comprehend the Dao and refine an Immortal Golden Body, it could even grow a third tail and transform into a three-tailed Turtle Dragon.
When Gui Ling Ancestor unleashed his divine power, turning the divine runes on his back into golden light to imprison Dark Flame Demon God, he also released the Dragon Turtle.
A loud clang resonated.
In the rear, the chain mace that Nega Demon God originally struck towards Gui Ling Ancestor directly hit the colossal turtle shell of the Dragon Turtle.
The Dragon Turtle didn’t even glance at him and, under Gui Ling Ancestor’s command, charged towards Dark Flame Demon God.
It first slammed its entire body violently against Dark Flame Demon God, knocking him thousands of zhang away.
Then, before Dark Flame Demon God could recover, it spouted a stream of water from its mouth, sending him flying far, before the water turned into a vortex, wrapping around his body and spinning violently.
Dark Flame Demon God felt as if his body was on the verge of exploding from being hit repeatedly, and was then horrified when enveloped by the vortex.
He found the water stream to be as heavy as a mountain, seemingly about to crush him alive.
He didn’t know that this was Heavy Water, with each drop weighing ten thousand catties, and the stream spewed by the Dragon Turtle was like a long river – weighing way more than billions of catties.
Had Dark Flame Demon God not used the Rule Power to resist, his body would have already been crushed into a mist of blood by the weight of the Heavy Water.
An intense survival instinct allowed him to bear the curse within him, using the life-risking method unique to the Flame Demon Clan.
Desperately expending a vast amount of magic power, he broke free from the water stream and barely escaped.
Even so, he was gravely injured.
Just in that brief contact, blood seeped from between all of his scales.
