"The Turtle clan is still preparing for the grand elder's funeral. Let's go after the funeral. That way, it'll be even easier for our Taihong clan to swallow them up," said the last middle-aged man.
Just as the Turtle clan was holding a grand funeral for the grand elder, another shocking piece of news spread across the entire sea realm. All eight pieces of the Octoterra Map Fragments had appeared. They would gather at the boundary of the three worlds in a year's time and fuse into one to search for the Octoterra Divine Hall.
The appearance of the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands caused a huge commotion in the sea realm. The divine hall had been left behind by the emperor of the Eight Wastelands in the past. It was rumored that the emperor had never taken in any disciples and had always been alone. Before he passed away, he had left behind his legacy and all his wealth in the divine hall before using a great ability to hide the divine hall in an unknown space. No one could find it. Only the map he had left behind could find the divine hall's location.
As soon as the news of the Eight Wastelands fusing spread, the sea realm immediately began to move. Many large organizations and clans began to make preparations. They all began to nurture their clansmen who had reached the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Rulers, increasing their strength as much as possible before sending them to the Poseidon Hall in hopes of obtaining the right to enter the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands.
In order to obtain the right to enter the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands, many large organizations fought to the bitter end. They had basically used up all the connections they possessed. There were even quite a few clans who offered many priceless treasures to the hall elders in hopes that the hall elders would give them a spot.
This was because as long as one could enter the Octoterra Divine Palace, they would have the opportunity to obtain the Octoterra Emperor's inheritance. This was a huge treasure that could not be bought no matter how much wealth one had. It attracted all the experts of the Oceanic Race in the Sea Region World, causing countless people to be envious. Other than the legacy, there was a chance of obtaining the treasures left behind by the emperor of the Eight Wastelands in the divine hall. The treasures that could be stored by the emperor would definitely be priceless. Not a single one of them would be ordinary.
The Turtle clan was still carrying out the grand elder's funeral. The entire clan was shrouded in heavy sorrow.
All the people of the Turtle clan were heavy-hearted. The grand elder was the most powerful person in the clan right now. His departure had greatly weakened the clan once again. They were no longer as powerful as before.
"The eight fragments of the map will be fused in a year and the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands will be opened." Jianchen also received the news of the fusion of the map fragments during the grand elder's funeral. He immediately clenched his fists tightly. "I will definitely go to the Divine Hall of the Eight Wastelands. I hope what I gain there won't disappoint me. Once I obtain great strength, I will personally kill my way to the Heaven's Spirit Hall and Serpent God Hall. I will personally kill Li Fengxing, Zhou Tianzi, and Zhou Yunzi to avenge the grand elder." A sliver of heavy killing intent flashed through Jianchen's eyes.
The grand elder's funeral lasted for seven whole days, but the Turtle clan did not calm down because of this. As soon as the funeral ended, over a dozen experts aggressively arrived. They hovered in the air as they coldly stared at the clansmen below.
A Saint Ruler loudly said, "We are members of the Tai Hong clan. Everyone in the Turtle clan, listen up. From today onwards, your Turtle clan will be under the control of my Tai Hong clan. You will become a part of my clan. If anyone refuses to submit …" With that, he extended a finger and a powerful energy immediately shot out from the tip of his finger, striking a large rock below. With a boom, the rock shattered into countless pieces and shot into the surroundings. He continued, "Do you see that? If anyone refuses to submit, this will be your fate."
The Turtle clan immediately fell silent, but soon after, all of them furiously stared at the experts in the sky. Various furious cries rang out from all directions.
"The Tai Hong clan actually wants to swallow our Turtle clan …"
"How bold of the Tai Hong clan. Back when our Turtle clan was powerful, the Tai Hong clan was not even born yet …"
"You're dreaming if you want our Turtle clan to become a subordinate clan of your Tai Hong clan …"
"We'd rather die than submit. We'd rather dye the ground with blood than submit to your Tai Hong clan …"
"Yes, we'd rather die than submit. Even if we die here, we'll make the Tai Hong clan pay a heavy price …"
All the clansmen of the Turtle clan were furious. None of them were afraid. Although the Turtle clan had declined, they could not allow their former glory to be blasphemed.
The second and third elders looked at each other before flying into the air at the same time. They faced off against the people of the Tai Hong clan in the air as they radiated with tremendous presences.
The entire clan immediately fell silent when they saw the two strongest experts of the clan take action.
"The Taihong clan wants to annex our Turtle clan. That's just wishful thinking. You should all leave. Our Turtle clan will not submit to anyone," the second elder said with a deep voice.
"Yes, we will never submit to anyone," a strong voice of agreement immediately rang out from below.
Among the dozen or so people of the Tai Hong clan, the middle-aged man standing at the very front sneered, "Does your Turtle clan really want to turn into a river of blood? With the strength of my Tai Hong clan, exterminating your Turtle clan is a piece of cake. As the second elder of the Turtle clan, don't you think about your clan?" The middle-aged man was the ancestor of the Tai Hong clan. His name was Tai Dou, and he was also the strongest person in the Tai Hong clan. He had already reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor.
The second elder fell silent for a while before continuing, "If you can defeat the third elder and I by yourself, my Turtle clan will temporarily submit to your Tai Hong clan."
Tai Dou laughed aloud and said, "Alright, then I'll fight the two of you. Let me see just how powerful the defense of the Turtle clan is." With that, Tai Dou turned around and flew into the distance.
The second elder and third elder looked at each other. Without saying anything, they followed Tai Dou. Just the shockwaves from the battle between the Holy Emperor and Tai Hong were enough to flatten the entire place. If they fought above the Turtle clan, the entire clan would be destroyed, so they moved the battle to an empty area several hundred kilometers away.
All the Saint Rulers of the Turtle clan followed them. Only Jianchen and Xie Wang did not move.
"Should we go and take a look?" Xie Wang asked from one side.
Jianchen shook his head and calmly said, "There's no need. The result has already been decided."
Violent booms soon rang out several hundred kilometers away. Vast and boundless energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings, causing the world to change color. The two Holy Emperor experts of the Turtle clan had already begun fighting the ancestor of the Tai Hong clan.
All the clansmen of the Turtle clan nervously gazed in the direction of the battle. Although they were unable to see what was going on, this was a battle that would determine the fate of the Turtle clan. Everyone paid close attention to it.
The battle up ahead stopped after a short while. Before long, the second and third elders flew back with pale faces. They were in horrible shape and blood still dripped from the corner of their mouths. Behind the two of them were the Saint Rulers of the Turtle clan who had gone to watch the show. All of them were dejected and in low spirits.
The two elders flew back to the clan and dejectedly said, "We've lost."
The Turtle clan fell silent at that moment. All the clansmen became extremely heavy. The two elders were the most powerful people in the Turtle clan right now. If even the two of them could not defeat the ancestor of the Tai Hong clan, there was no hope for the Turtle clan at all.
The group of people from the Tai Hong clan also flew back from afar. The ancestor at the very front was overjoyed. He chuckled aloud, "According to our agreement, your Turtle clan will belong to my Tai Hong clan from now on. You will be under my Tai Hong clan's control."
"Second elder, third elder, we can't yield. At worst, we'll spend a large amount of money to hire experts to assist our clan," a Saint Ruler of the Turtle clan said with a heavy voice. His face was filled with reluctance.
"Yes, we'll spend a large amount of money to hire experts to deal with the Tai Hong clan," his words immediately received the agreement of many people.
"Shut up," the third elder's face sank, "Is it so easy to hire experts who can deal with the Tai Hong clan? And we had an agreement before. Do you want my Turtle clan to become people who don't keep their word? "
"The third elder is correct. Our Turtle clan can't be people who don't keep their word," the second elder said. He then looked at the ancestor of the Tai Hong clan and said, "Tai Hong clan, you've won. From today onwards, my Turtle clan will join your Tai Hong clan …"
"Wait!" Before the second elder could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice. Jianchen strode over from afar and loudly said, "I am the ruler of the Turtle clan. I have the right to interfere with all matters of the clan. I declare as the ruler that my Turtle clan will not join the Tai Hong clan."
Jianchen originally did not want to become the ruler of the Turtle clan, but the grand elder had died for him. He had to complete the grand elder's final wish, so he had to become the ruler of the Turtle clan and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Turtle clan. He wanted the Turtle clan to return to its former glory.
The second elder and third elder's faces sank. The second elder glared at Jianchen and yelled, "Let's not even talk about the fact that you haven't officially become the ruler of my Turtle clan. Just your decision is enough to lead my Turtle clan to destruction."
"You've already caused the death of the grand elder. Do you want to harm the entire Turtle clan?" The third elder also yelled out. He did not hold back at all.
Jianchen ignored the objections of the two elders. He glanced at the clansmen in the surroundings and loudly said, "May I ask if everyone supports my decision or the two elders'?"
"Just think about how glorious our Turtle clan was in the past. Although we're a tribe now, we will never yield to anyone and support the ruler …"
