Chapter 651: Deep Sea Nether Turtle

The Eye of the Firmament fused with the Emperor’s Domineering Blood, reducing the lethal power of the Thunder Tribulation countless times over.

The endless thunderbolts now only served to temper Ye Wushuang’s body.

CRACKLE!

The lightning struck relentlessly, tempering him again and again as if forging a piece of Unparalleled Divine Iron, and the impacts even sent countless brilliant sparks flying.

The distant crowd couldn’t understand how Ye Wushuang’s body could be so powerful, allowing him to remain completely at ease under the unparalleled Thunder Punishment.

’Shouldn’t he be going all out?’

The group stared blankly. This tribulation was worlds apart from their own experiences with Crossing the Tribulation.

Jiao Peng watched as well, his gaze falling to the black reef island beneath Ye Wushuang.

Although the thunderbolts in the sky were bombarding Ye Wushuang, a portion of the Destructive Thunderbolts still crashed into the sea, stirring up colossal waves. The strikes were especially concentrated on the reef island at Ye Wushuang’s feet, which endured one blast after another.

The black rocks on the reef were shattered by the blasts, and the island itself began to tremble violently. Endless waves surged outward in all directions.

Jiao Peng’s gaze sharpened on that spot. Sensing something, his hand shot out and gripped his Trident!

He then glanced worriedly at Ye Wushuang in the firmament above. He wanted to shout a warning, but realized it was impossible at this moment.

In the sky, Ye Wushuang stood tall, carefully sensing the benefits brought by the Thunder Tribulation.

The Hundred Acupoints Divinity Transformation held endless potential, and this meant he had officially stepped into the Divine Silence Level!

At the same time, his billions of cells had also been viciously tempered. A single movement felt as if billions of stars were trembling within him, letting him know his body had once again transformed.

He was becoming more familiar with it, his control more perfect!

This was a feeling he had certainly never experienced before.

The transformation to the Divine Silence Level was a tremendous gain for him.

’Time to end this!’

Suddenly, Ye Wushuang’s body trembled. He tilted his head to the sky, and two terrifying beams of divine light shot from his eyes!

Up in the Firmament, the Thunder Tribulation also seemed to know that this was its final chance to destroy Ye Wushuang.

Therefore, after gathering its power, the entire sea of lightning seemed to descend upon Ye Wushuang—a truly terrifying sight!

"Get back!"

Jiao Peng, realizing what was happening, shouted to the others around him and retreated another few thousand meters!

The others were even more terrified. ’This is truly world-destroying power!’

’Just how heaven-defying is that young man to provoke such a devastating attack?’

"Break for me!"

Ye Wushuang roared, and a single fist shot upward. Like a golden Divine Mountain being thrust against the heavens, it collided with the sea of lightning.

BOOM!

In that instant, the sea of lightning exploded. Bolts of electricity, like unparalleled Thunder Swords, pierced through the void and shot out in all directions.

The vast majority of them fell into the ocean, slashing up heaven-rending curtains of water!

"Devour!"

Ye Wushuang also seized the opportunity, circulating his Heavenly Devouring Power to swallow all the surrounding lightning and rapidly begin its Refinement into his own strength.

The Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation was over. The sea of lightning in the Firmament retreated unwillingly, and the thunderbolts dissipated.

BOOM!

At the same time, the black reef island below suddenly sank with startling abruptness.

"Friend, watch out!"

Jiao Peng’s expression changed as he yelled to Ye Wushuang.

He was certain now. ’That black reef island must be the slumbering place of the Abyssal Nether Turtle.’

’Ye Wushuang’s tribulation must have disturbed it. It held back from revealing itself, probably waiting for the moment he let his guard down to swallow him whole.’

SPLASH!

Sure enough, just as Jiao Peng’s voice faded, a massive column of water erupted into the sky from where the reef had sunk. A gigantic mouth opened from within the column and snapped shut around Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang’s gaze hardened. He transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished into the void.

BOOM!

The giant mouth snapped shut, chomping down on the dozen-meter-wide space where Ye Wushuang had just been standing.

Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang’s figure had reappeared a thousand meters away, his eyes fixed on the creature that had just tried to kill him.

’I felt something was off about the reef before,’ he thought. ’But with no signs of life, I didn’t pay it any mind.’

’I never imagined I was standing on a turtle’s back the whole time.’

Now, however, the turtle’s back was much smoother. The shell was a glossy black that shone with the luster of black Divine Gold, and it was even inscribed with several Profound Patterns, giving it a truly mystical appearance.

Its outstretched head, however, was hideously ferocious, and its eyes were a bloodthirsty scarlet!

A peculiar power radiated from it, one that felt threatening even to Ye Wushuang.

BOOM!

Seeing Ye Wushuang dodge, the Abyssal Nether Turtle refused to give up.

It had been sleeping peacefully, and being disturbed made it furious!

Of course, it wasn’t just being disturbed that was the problem; that was a minor issue. What was truly infuriating was being struck by lightning while minding its own business, which left it feeling both aggrieved and utterly enraged!

Therefore, it absolutely had to devour this human.

Its massive body swam rapidly through the sea until it was directly beneath Ye Wushuang. Its ferocious head shot out, extending to an incredible length like a spring as it lunged for him in the sky.

An aura of Death Nether Power swirled around its head.

Ye Wushuang knew that the threat he’d felt earlier came from this very power.

Seeing the Deep Sea Nether Turtle still refusing to give up, a flash of killing intent glinted in Ye Wushuang’s eyes as he smashed down with a Heaven-Shattering Fist.

The massive fist came down like a golden star, empowered by a pure and terrifying Physical Strength!

The Deep Sea Nether Turtle also sensed the immense destructive power contained within that simple-looking strike.

Instantly, its head shot back, as if it were about to retreat.

However, at that exact moment, a beam of dim gray light shot from its head with startling abruptness. It collided with the golden fist, and the two forces began to grind against each other.

But the gray power didn’t dissipate; instead, it spread out like a cloud and began to envelop Ye Wushuang.

"Friend, that’s the Deep Sea Nether Turtle’s Death Nether Power! It steals your lifespan, be careful!"

Seeing Ye Wushuang fighting the Deep Sea Nether Turtle alone, Jiao Peng gripped his Trident and charged forward.

Jiao Peng knew the Deep Sea Nether Turtle was exceptionally cunning. ’It’s feigning weakness,’ he thought, ’waiting for Ye Wushuang to underestimate it before launching a fatal attack!’

"This Deep Sea Nether Turtle is too powerful! If we all attack together, we can definitely kill it."

Seeing Jiao Peng charge ahead, Jiao Wei also took out a short spear and rushed forward.

The others followed suit.

They knew that the Deep Sea Nether Turtle’s strength was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

’Perhaps if all of us attack together, we’ll have a chance of victory. If it’s just Ye Wushuang by himself, he’s doomed to perish!’

And so, they all charged forward.

Ye Wushuang had noticed the group, but he paid them no mind for the moment.

WHOOSH!

A pair of faint golden wings appeared on his back. With a single shudder, he shot across the sky like a bolt of golden lightning, traversed the void, and stomped down on the Deep Sea Nether Turtle’s head.

CRACK!

The faint sound of shattering bone could be heard.

The Deep Sea Nether Turtle’s scarlet eyes bulged. Feeling a surge of intense pain, its head shot back and disappeared into its shell!

’Escape!’

That was its only thought. It knew it had met its match today; it had the great misfortune of running into a Demon Fiend. If it didn’t escape now, it would be losing more than just its dignity from the lightning strike—it would be forfeiting its life.

’You think hiding in your shell means I can’t touch you?’

Ye Wushuang merely snorted. A World-Destroying Slash cut down from the sky, and its blood-red radiance split heaven and earth in two.

The Deep Sea Nether Turtle’s eyes widened in even greater terror. It began to dive frantically, and at the same time, the Profound Patterns on its back were activated, forming a massive sigil that hovered above its shell.

But it was useless against the attack. The World-Destroying Slash fell, cleaving the massive turtle shell in two!

"Get up here!"

A giant hand then shot down, seized the massive Abyssal Nether Turtle, and dragged it back up!

SCREECH!

In that instant, Jiao Peng and the others skidded to a halt. Their eyes were glued to the scene before them, and they didn’t dare take another step.

They had only just realized that the Deep Sea Nether Turtle—a beast they thought would take all their combined efforts to kill—couldn’t even withstand a single slash from Ye Wushuang.

Killed in a single blow.

Their worries had been utterly unnecessary.
