The Mystical Turtle, also known as Xuanwu, is one of the Four Ancient Divine Beasts in Chinese mythology. Ancient sayings go, on the left is the Azure Dragon, on the right is the White Tiger, the front is the Vermilion Bird, and at the back is Xuanwu. These four divine beasts are incomparably powerful, and all appeared in ancient times, manifesting Great Divine Power capable of reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth. In these mythological tales, Xuanwu differs from the other three divine beasts.

Xuanwu is also called Xuanming, the amalgamation of Turtle and Snake, acting as the Water God, residing in the Northern Sea. The turtle’s longevity makes Xuanming a symbol of eternal life. The Netherworld is also in the north, hence Xuanwu is the god of the north. The Azure Dragon and White Tiger command the four directions, the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu follow Yin and Yang, and Xuanwu can communicate with the Netherworld to seek divination, thus standing apart from the other three spirits, earning the title ”True Martial Emperor”.

In the Penglai Ancient Martial World, within the Original Restricted Zone, this Xuanwu, according to the speculation of the unreliable Zhu Yan, is very likely a true Mystical Turtle. Unlike the Vermilion Bird they have currently seen, which only has the ancient pure bloodline of the Vermilion Bird and is not the true Vermilion Bird, requiring further transformation and evolution. However, the Mystical Turtle here is the true Xuanwu, possessing unknown immense power. In any case, if there’s a chance, Ye Tianchen, Pangu Yun, Huo Xianer, and Jing Wuhuan would choose to escape without any hesitation, leaving these four monsters to battle!

Bang!

The monkey was still the most ferocious, not wasting any words, lifted the Desolate Sky Halberd in its hand, and charged at the Old Xuan Turtle. The overwhelming aura it emitted startled Ye Tianchen and the others. This Divine Monkey was indeed extraordinary. Earlier, it had slaughtered five monsters and single-handedly stopped them, sustaining severe injuries itself, yet it still possessed such brave strength to attack the Old Turtle. This monkey is truly extraordinary!

Clang!

Sparks flew, mountains shook, and the Desolate Sky Halberd in the monkey’s hand fell, but the Old Xuan Turtle did not strike back, merely using the turtle shell on its back to block. The Desolate Sky Halberd in the Divine Monkey’s hand struck the Old Xuan Turtle’s back and sensed an indestructible force that forcibly repelled it!

The Divine Monkey flipped several times mid-air, its eyes glaring at the Old Xuan Turtle—perhaps it hadn’t expected the Old Turtle to be this powerful. It didn’t even attack, merely blocking with the turtle shell on its back to fend off its full-powered blow with the Desolate Sky Halberd. It was indeed surprising, realizing that it was impossible to kill the Old Turtle like this!

”It is indeed strong enough, much stronger than your father, and has a promising future. It’s a pity it’s too reckless, it will die!” The Mystical Turtle spoke, looking at the monkey blandly.

”Old Turtle, I must kill you and become the ruler of this Original Restricted Zone!” The Divine Monkey roared loudly, and the Desolate Sky Halberd in its hand emitted an unusual glow.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The Golden Sky Ant also held nothing back. After witnessing how powerful the Old Turtle was, it dared not be the least bit slack. If they didn’t join forces to defeat the Old Turtle now, they feared they would all die here. Especially after the powerful burst of energy from the Desolate Sky Halberd did not even manage to wound the Old Turtle, let alone defeat it, they only had a chance if they went all out!

Bang!

Bang!

The Golden Sky Ant clan, during ancient times, also displayed formidable prowess, especially when a remarkable member appeared in the clan—unparalleled power, lifting mountains, with whiskers growing from its head piercing the sky, daringly devouring an Ancient Saint whole, an incredibly disturbing and frightening feat. This Golden Sky Ant now showed signs of this ancestral member of their clan, potentially becoming such an existence or even surpassing this ancestor who once devoured an Ancient Saint.

Undoubtedly, this Golden Sky Ant is truly powerful. Ye Tianchen was once chased by it. Although they haven’t fought a full-force battle and don’t know who is stronger, the methods this Golden Sky Ant is exhibiting now startled the onlooking Ye Tianchen. This ant cannot be viewed with the eyes of a mere ant.

When the two Demon Whiskers on the Golden Sky Ant’s head flickered, they instantly pierced the void, cracking the earth, and shaking the sky open. The two Demon Whiskers descended like Divine Vines from the heavens, attacking the Mystical Turtle on the ground.

Bang!

The Old Xuan Turtle frowned but did not move or counterattack, still using the turtle shell to block. When the two Demon Whiskers of the Golden Sky Ant struck the Old Xuan Turtle’s shell, a crisp sound rang out, as if something had been pierced through.

Bang!

Only to see, at the back of the Old Xuan Turtle, where it was struck by the two demon whiskers of the Golden Sky Ant, the turtle shell seemed to shatter immediately. This surprised Ye Tianchen and the others, and even the Divine Monkey’s eyes lit up. No one expected that these seemingly fragile whiskers on the Golden Sky Ant’s head were not divine weapons, yet they were so formidable. Could they possibly be stronger than the Desolate Sky Halberd in the Divine Monkey’s hand? Could they break the turtle shell of the Mystical Turtle?

”Old thing, you’re too self-assured. It’s said that you’re the strongest creature in the Original Restricted Zone, but I think that’s all there is to it. They’ve overestimated you!” The Golden Sky Ant laughed arrogantly.

The Old Xuan Turtle glanced at the Golden Sky Ant and shook its head, saying, ”The Golden Sky Ant race was indeed significant in ancient times, but has declined ever since. You dare to dream that you’ll become like the ancestors who devoured the Ancient Saints, but sadly, you’re far from it. I will take your demon whiskers...”

Puchi!

However, just as the Old Xuan Turtle’s words fell, a water light shot up from the ground like a water knife, slashing at the Golden Sky Ant’s demon whiskers with lightning speed. The Golden Sky Ant was shocked, thinking it had pierced the Mystical Turtle’s shell, and thus could harm its body. Yet, it seemed to inflict no damage at all, not even a reaction. What was happening?

”Ah...”

The Golden Sky Ant let out a miserable scream, pulling everyone back from their shock. They saw that on the Golden Sky Ant’s head, only one demon whisker remained; the other was severed, with blood oozing from its head. The Golden Sky Ant glared viciously at the Old Xuan Turtle. This Old Xuan Turtle seemed harmless, not uttering harsh words, but its ruthlessness was demonstrated through action, which was the most terrifying part. After cutting off the Golden Sky Ant’s demon whisker, it directly consumed it.

”Damn, this is practically a turtle that eats everything, not just vegetarian!” Pangu Yun couldn’t help but mutter.

”This is not just a turtle, it’s a Mystical Turtle, Xuanwu, one of the most savage beasts among the Four Ancient Divine Beasts, you know?” Little Zhu Yan said harshly.

Ye Tianchen frowned. This Old Turtle was indeed too formidable, unimaginably powerful. The monkey was fierce, but this Old Turtle was fiercer, and the Golden Sky Ant was strong, but the Old Turtle was stronger. Moreover, the Old Turtle always appeared so calm, giving an unsettling feeling, as if everything was in its grasp. It was alarmingly dangerous, for their lives seemed to be in the hands of this Xuan Turtle.

Rumble!

The Vermilion Bird could not hold back any longer. Despite being shaken and knowing the Old Turtle’s power, the Old Turtle had already declared it would kill it, the monkey, and the Golden Sky Ant. Now that the Divine Monkey and Golden Sky Ant had already made their moves, the Vermilion Bird couldn’t refrain from going all in as well. At this moment, everyone was astonished at the Old Turtle’s might, fully aware that if they did not cooperate, they would all perish at the hands of this Old Xuan Turtle. Only by fighting with all they had could they hope to survive.

Hiss!

The Vermilion Bird, with the Fire God Pearl hovering above its head, spread its wings. Despite not being enormous, it gave the impression of a bloodbath stretching for billions of miles. As it dived towards the Old Xuan Turtle, the Old Xuan Turtle showed some emotion for the first time, seemingly having an innate apprehension of the Vermilion Bird race.

Bang!

To everyone’s surprise, instead of using the Fire God Pearl over its head, the Vermilion Bird extended a gigantic Vermilion Bird Divine Claw, clawing towards the Old Xuan Turtle’s back. The Old Xuan Turtle frowned, for the first time beginning to dodge. As it dodged, it spat out a beam of water light from its mouth, like a sharp sword splitting the entire sky in half, slashing towards the Vermilion Bird in the sky. At this moment, the Fire God Pearl atop the Vermilion Bird exerted its power, emitting a fiery light to block the water light from the Old Xuan Turtle, while the Vermilion Bird’s divine claw continued to claw towards the Old Xuan Turtle’s back.

Boom!

A loud bang erupted as the Vermilion Bird’s divine claw struck the Old Xuan Turtle’s back, unleashing a powerful force that left Ye Tianchen and the others dumbfounded. The Divine Monkey and Golden Sky Ant were in disbelief. Their combat strength was not weaker than this Vermilion Bird, yet despite their full efforts, they couldn’t shake the Old Turtle, while a single divine claw from the Vermilion Bird managed it. Could it be that it had successfully defeated the Old Xuan Turtle?

”Is this Vermilion Bird so powerful? Even more so than that monkey?” Huo Xianer couldn’t help but ask.

”The monkey has made its move, the Golden Sky Ant has made its move, and both have failed. Could it be that this Vermilion Bird has succeeded?” Pangu Yun asked, seemingly confused.

Little Zhu Yan glanced at the battlefield and said with an insightful demeanor, ”The avian and beast are natural enemies, and the enmity between the Vermilion Bird race and the Mystical Turtle race goes back to the Ancient Times. They inherently know each other’s fatal weaknesses, so the Old Xuan Turtle cannot deal with this Vermilion Bird as it does the monkey and ant!” (To be continued.
