Even though the ice wings were cut off, more ice wings grew out of them in the next moment.
Its movement speed shocked Zong Shou. Naturally, it couldn't compare to Hanxi, but among Spirit Realm God Beasts, it could be considered one of the top ones.
Along with the wings that were retracted into the shell, this turtle's movement speed should be able to increase by a level.
"So this turtle can not only be used as a protector, but it can also be used as a means of transportation …"
His heart was filled with joy. Zong Shou continued to follow the sword path from before, stabbing down once more!
His brows furrowed once more. However, in less than a tenth of the time it took to snap a finger. Before this, the ice layer that he had forcefully pierced through had recovered by a large amount.
This sword was also reflected back.
This Blue Fire Xuan Turtle seemed to have totally given up on escaping, not forming ice wings anymore. Instead, he used layers upon layers of thick Profound Ice to wrap himself in layers upon layers.
On the side of Hanxi and Little Gold, Zong Shou's swords didn't have any results, so they used their blade arms to slash at the sides.
Then, Xiaori also joined in, flames wrapped around its body. Its body swelled several times, reaching out its fangs and biting with all its might.
All of a sudden, the thousand feet Xuan Turtle was filled with clanging sounds. Occasionally, there would be a loud explosion. This was the Lightning Winged Dragon smashing into the ice layer.
After each sword, Zong Shou's aura would become even more violent and crazy. That vast Spiritual Sense was continuously rising. The Sword Intent was covering the heavens and becoming more and more condensed.
A thousand miles away, the Spiritual Sense of the Crystal Beasts that had retreated stretched out once more.
However, it didn't have any intent to provoke or warn him, just probing and sensing from afar.
Then, the Spiritual Sense and aura stopped for a moment. Moments later, like a flood retreating, it swiftly retreated.
A few breaths later, those dozen Spirit Realm Crystal Beasts had all fled without a trace. Their movements were as quick as rabbits, afraid that they would be a little slower.
Within these thousands of miles, the other beasts all fled crazily like a beast wave.
In just an hour, there were no more living beings within a few hundred miles.
Four hours later, Zong Shou was still standing on the tortoise's back with an ugly expression on his face.
As for Little Gold and Hanxi, they were clearly exhausted. The former turned into a ball of golden jelly and ran back to his shoulder, lying down softly. Although the latter was still slashing with his saber arm, it was obvious that he was slacking off. His ruby-like eyes flashed with a luster, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As for Xiaori, he had also turned back into a small dog and was lying on the ground, panting heavily. He didn't look like a Qilin at all. Instead, he looked just like a dog.
As for the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle beneath Zong Shou, not only did it not move, it was totally unharmed. The Xuan Ice Layer also expanded to a full four thousand feet.
Even Zong Shou's main attacking side was only slightly thinner, about three thousand feet.
In the short time it had stopped, it had expanded by another thousand feet.
… During these four hours, no matter what angle he attacked from, which weak point he was helpless. Even if he went all out, he couldn't break through the shell.
At this moment, he had used up close to 70% of his True Qi and was unable to quickly recover.
Luckily, this was the Xuanwu Body Protecting Energy ability of the Xuanwu Bloodline. Once he used it, he wouldn't be able to use any other abilities.
If not, this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle might have turned the situation around.
His eyes twitched once more. Zong Shou couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. He had really lost a lot of face this time.
He was said to be invincible in the Cloud World. After thirteen years of secluded meditation, he had swept the Cloud World and had never met an opponent.
Even Daoling Vast Habitat was forced back to defend their sect, even the Palace Head had died. However, he didn't expect that even with the strength of these three Spirit Realm God Beasts, they couldn't do anything to this small turtle.
Luckily, there was no one else here. If other people knew about this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
Especially that crazy woman Zhao Yanran. She would definitely take the chance to mock him.
Looking at the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle that was hidden in the thick ice layer, Zong Shou was totally speechless and his head hurt.
Wasting time like this wasn't a solution. In terms of strength, all the Xuanwu Bloodlines could be listed in the top three of all the God Beasts in the world. Its strength was like the ocean, deep and immeasurable. Its Essence Energy was also endless.
Even if Zong Shou had the help of pills, he definitely wouldn't be able to last for long. As for the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique, he needed to have True Qi and Blood to absorb.
As for forcefully attacking, that was even more impossible. This Blue Fire Xuan Turtle in front of him finally let him know what it meant by a mouse pulling a turtle and not knowing where to bite. He was unable to find a weakness and was unable to attack it.
With that thought in mind, Zong Shou spat out a few times. Zong Shou wasn't a mouse.
However, he could only helplessly jump down from the turtle's back.
Then, Zong Shou hesitated. Looking at the situation, he temporarily couldn't do anything to this animal. It was even more impossible to make it yield.
However, if he left just like that, he was a little unwilling. Who knew if this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle would still be here the next time he came to find it? Would it be subdued by others? Or would it just flee the Cloud World?
Before he left, he had to think of a good idea.
That Blue Fire Xuan Turtle kept its head shrunk and didn't make a sound. At this moment, maybe because it saw that there was no movement outside of the turtle shell, Zong Shou didn't stand on its back anymore.
While Zong Shou was deep in thought, a Spiritual Energy exploded out. Outside of the ice layer, 12 pairs of ice wings formed. It flapped with all its strength and tried to charge into the sky once more.
This caught him off guard, Zong Shou didn't react at all. Hanxi was also cultivating.
However, in the next instance, when the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was just a centimeter above the ground. With a loud "Hong", it fell down once more. The 12 pairs of ice wings all broke apart.
Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh when he saw that. Then, 14 pairs of ice wings formed. However, when they were just a centimeter above the ground, they fell down once more.
Then, there were 16 pairs, 20 pairs, 24 pairs, 30 pairs …
This giant ice cube was never able to successfully leave the ground by even a foot.
Logically speaking, when one reached the Spirit Realm, one's strength couldn't be calculated using the popular units of kilograms, stones, etc.
They could shake mountains and rivers and slash space. Some ice cubes weren't much at all.
However, this Xuan Ice was different. It could block his sword and was no weaker than a Grade-9 Spiritual Artifact.
Each inch, each centimeter was formed from billions of essence water. It was shockingly heavy, reaching a hundred thousand kilograms.
Thousands of feet of Xuan Ice, one could imagine how heavy it was.
Maybe because it had reached the limit of its ability, after the 36 pairs of ice wings were formed, there weren't any more.
However, this Blue Fire Xuan Turtle tried to use the ice wings several times, but it was only barely able to make this giant ice cube rise a foot above the ground.
It tried to fly but to no avail. The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was silent once more. A moment later, it opened up a little at the front of the shell and tried to stretch its head out.
However, the turtle noticed that something wasn't right. No matter what, it was unable to reach out a single inch. Even if it squashed its face, it was still useless.
It tried to bite but the Xuan Ice was too slippery and it was unable to bite down. It spat out blue flames which caused the ice layer to become thicker and stronger.
It wasn't discouraged at all. It tried to stretch out its 4 limbs and wings.
Then, it noticed that its 4 limbs and its head were in the same situation.
The Xuan Ice was not only strong, but it was also extremely condensed.
A ten foot layer could be compared to a Grade-9 Spiritual Artifact. However, when it was stacked thousands of feet, it was tough for a Celestial Artifact to damage it.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle went all out but it was still unable to stretch its head and 4 limbs out.
It used energy to strike all around but the ice didn't move at all. Even if it gathered together, it wouldn't be damaged at all.
In the end, it could only shake. However, its body was frozen in the ice layer, so how could it move at all?
Zong Shou's brow rose up. He walked to the front of the turtle and exchanged glances with the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle.
After a long while, Zong Shou couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, he laughed out loud in an unrestrained manner.
He couldn't do anything to this fellow but this dumb turtle had trapped itself in the Xuan Ice and was unable to come out.
How weird was it to be able to do that?
The depression in his chest was gone. The grievance of not being able to break through the ice armor for 4 hours had totally disappeared.
Then, he had an idea. Zong Shou focused once more and looked at the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle.
Wait, it couldn't come out?
He couldn't subdue this fellow but that didn't mean that he wouldn't be able to in the future.
If he couldn't subdue this fellow, then wouldn't it be fine if he let it continue and it still couldn't come out?
With that thought, a cold smile appeared on Zong Shou's lips.
He flipped his right hand and 20 talismans appeared. Half of them were Mountain Suppressing Talismans which sealed the power of a mountain. As long as one stuck it on, normal Grade-9 Cultivators wouldn't be able to move. The other half was Xuan Ice Shield Talisman. As long as one drew it out, it would instantly form a Giant Xuan Ice Shield.
They were all really famous spells after the Spirit Realm.
Without exception, they were all items left behind by the fallen Daoling Vast Habitat cultivators and could be used here.
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle opposite him felt a chill down its spine.
Its eyes opened wide as it looked warily at Zong Shou.
※ ※ ※
A few days later, on a city less than 2,000 miles away from the Daoling Vast Habitat.
Zong Shou stood in the air. Below him was a burning temple in the city.
At this moment, there were threads of purple energy wrapped around his hand.
Looking at it, it was no different from normal True Qi. However, if there were Spirit Realm and above Taoist Faction cultivators here, they would be able to recognize that this was the God Power gathered by the Protector God.
It wrapped around Zong Shou's fingertips but was unable to be absorbed into his body.
This was because the God Spirit Power within his body was already filled and he was unable to absorb any more. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
