Primordial Era: The Giant Turtle Returning from Immortality

At the northernmost point of the Northern Sea, in the nest of the Kunpeng.

A sinister gaze suddenly opened, piercing through the endless void and looking towards the place where the lightning tribulation had erupted.

"Hmm? Such divine might... it's heading in the direction of that old tortoise? Is he transforming into human form? How strange!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A dark shadow soared into the sky, transforming into a roc-like avatar that blotted out the sun. With a flap of its wings, it covered 90,000 miles and arrived at the edge of the tribulation in an instant.

Kunpeng tucked his body away and stood in the void, looking at Shen Gui, who had been resisting the might of heaven in the center of the thunder and had transformed into the Daoist form of a gray-robed youth.

A deep sense of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This old tortoise has been dormant in the North Sea for countless eons, trapped by evil energy and its origins, making it difficult to take human form."

Why today...? And why should a primordial being undergoing human form be subjected to such a severe tribulation of lightning?

He was a naturally divine being, possessing profound wisdom. After a brief deduction, he felt that the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and the fate of this Xuan Turtle was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to calculate the reason.

But looking at the seemingly endless, dazzling heavenly lightning, Kunpeng had a vague guess in his heart.

"Could it be... that his inability to take human form is not merely due to the evil aura and inheritance, but rather because he is burdened with some kind of overwhelming karma?"

Now that he has forcibly taken human form, is he trying to reverse this predetermined fate, thus incurring a karmic backlash?

Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Kunpeng's eyes.

He lived next to this black tortoise. Although they weren't close friends, they were both born in the Northern Sea.

If he hadn't been trapped here, he would have been a top-tier supernatural being in the primordial world long ago.

Now, seeing that he wanted to defy fate, I felt a sense of shared sorrow, like a fellow cultivator in the Northern Darkness, for his impending doom.

"Going against the will of Heaven is easier said than done..."

Kunpeng sighed inwardly.

He could see that Shen Gui's protective divine power was extremely profound, and that it could withstand such a lightning tribulation. However, this lightning tribulation contained the killing intent of the Heavenly Dao, which was endless. How could it be exhausted by defense alone?

Without anyone's help, this old tortoise will likely ultimately succumb to the backlash of karma and fail in the end.

now.

Shen Gui, who was at the center of the tribulation, felt the increasing pressure emanating from the protective barrier of the Great Body Protection Technique, but his eyes became increasingly sharp.

He looked up at the sky, as if he were gazing into the eyes of some unseen being.

"Damn you, God, you think you can kill me with this?"

The Heavenly Lords and Celestial Kings I faced at the Gate of Immortality were a hundred times more dangerous than this!

But Shen Gui knew that simply defending himself would probably not be enough to resolve this calamity.

next moment.

Shen Gui's internal energy suddenly changed, no longer merely remaining stagnant.

"Great Chaos Technique!"

Shen Gui silently shouted, and the Great Chaos Technique originating from the world of immortality instantly erupted.

Transformed into bolts of dark, abyssal lightning, yet containing the power to create heaven and earth!

Great Chaos Thunder Technique!

The supreme thunder magic upon which the gods relied to create heaven and earth and redefine wind, fire, water and soil!

"Boom—!"

It's no longer about taking the hit head-on, it's about fighting back!

Countless streaks of hazy, chaotic divine lightning erupted from Shen Gui's body.

Unlike the magnificent and righteous purple heavenly tribulation lightning, which is full of destructive intent, they appear restrained and profound.

But with each flash of lightning, it was as if a miniature chaotic world was being created and destroyed, and wherever it passed, space was distorted and the laws of nature retreated.

The chaotic divine lightning surged upwards, colliding fiercely with the purple heavenly tribulation lightning descending from the sky!

Instead of the expected earth-shattering explosion, there was a far more terrifying "annihilation".

The moment the Chaos Divine Lightning and the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning came into contact was not a simple matter of energy cancellation.

Instead, it was like cold water being poured into boiling oil, or like the meeting of yin and yang poles, triggering a violent conflict and mutual devouring at the level of laws.

The purple lightning was entangled, torn, and assimilated by the hazy, chaotic energy, eventually returning to nothingness.

The Chaos Divine Lightning was thus consumed, but new lightning continuously sprang from Shen Gui's body.

In a short time.

The place where Shen Gui was located seemed to have transformed into a battlefield of thunder, with the destructive purple lightning descending from the heavens on one side.

On one side was the Chaos Lightning, and the two clashed wildly, turning that sea area into a forbidden zone of laws, where even light and sound were distorted and swallowed up.

"This...this is?!"

In the distance, Kunpeng, who had been intently watching the battle, could no longer remain calm, and an incredulous light flashed in his sinister eyes.

He stared intently at the gray lightning that rivaled the heavenly tribulation.

"Thunder magic? How could he possibly be proficient in such exquisite thunder magic?!"

A storm raged in Kunpeng's heart.

"This old tortoise is originally from the North Sea Black Tortoise, which is innately associated with the Great Dao of Water, and is responsible for defense and bearing. It belongs to the category of extreme Yin and stillness!"

Even if it transforms into human form, it will at most evolve its innate and formidable defensive capabilities to the extreme.

How could one control such violent lightning power?

This completely contradicts the innate traditions of the primordial world.

Their destiny is predetermined; the innate saints are born close to certain great principles.

This is a talent, but also a constraint in a certain sense.

Like the Kunpeng, he was born with mastery over the arts of feng shui.

Progress in these two paths is rapid, but if one wants to comprehend the opposing or unrelated Great Path of Fire or Great Path of Metal, the effort will be twice as hard and the result will be half as difficult.

But this is the Xuan Turtle in front of me.

Not only did he use lightning techniques that were completely contrary to his own style, but he also employed them.

Moreover, even he felt a chill run down his spine at the level of this thunder technique!

It far surpasses his current Taiyi realm.

"Could it be that he obtained some heaven-defying opportunity, enabling him to break free from the shackles of his origins and comprehend completely contradictory laws of the Dao?"

Kunpeng's eyes flickered, his mind racing.

"Or is it that his countless years of seclusion were not wasted, but rather he was secretly comprehending such astonishing techniques?"

However, Shen Gui, who was fighting against the heavenly lightning, frowned deeply, feeling his power being constantly depleted.

And it's extremely fast.

But the thunder shows no sign of abating, which means that unless he returns to his tortoise form, this calamity will not stop.

"Damn it, do I really have to give up? It's a pity I can't use the Great Destiny Technique, otherwise I could temporarily modify my fate with it."

That's enough to weather the calamity, and when one truly breaks through to the Great Luo realm, there will be no fear of this so-called destiny!

Shen Gui was helpless.

In the world of immortality, only Fang Han and Fang Qingxue could use the Great Destiny Technique.

The former is itself the gate to immortality, while the latter enters the deepest part of the gate to immortality and gains the right to use it.

He actually knew about the Great Destiny Technique. After all, he was the deputy sect leader of the Epoch Sect, and Fang Han was not stingy with his own people.

But he can't use it at all!

But as soon as he had a thought, he discovered that his power was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.

"By the way, I've entered the Gate of Immortality; perhaps that's why I was able to use the Great Destiny Technique."

next moment.

A mystical aura gathered around him, forming a long, turbulent river.

Instantly, Shen Fei's gaze was drawn upwards, and the North Sea gradually shrank in his field of vision.

Finally, a vast, endless, ancient, and boundless river appeared in his vision.
