Chapter 532 - 206: The World-Suppressing Great Xuanwu

BOOM!

In the Shen Family villa in Qing City, a tremendous bang echoed as the personal panels of Shen Fei and his family automatically opened. It was a familiar scene, one they had already experienced four times. The fifth inheritance of game abilities had arrived.

WHOOSH.

As the fifth inheritance of game abilities began, not only did the personal panels of everyone on Blue Star open, but a violent rumbling also erupted across the world. This cacophony included the sound of tectonic plates cracking as Blue Star expanded once more, along with the noise of various Secret Realms, monsters, and other creatures being inherited from the Game World. With this new inheritance, the Monster Nests that hadn’t been cleared out around the Neutral Cities began displaying countdowns for monster spawns in just a few minutes. The wormholes for these spawns opened rapidly, and innumerable monster silhouettes began to form within the Monster Nests, waiting only for the timers to end before an endless monster tide would erupt forth.

"Inherit Pet!"

In the villa, Shen Fei stared at the text on his panel. Having failed to find what he was looking for in his previous investigations, he made his choice without further hesitation. As far as he was concerned, the only things he hadn’t yet inherited were his Hero, Pet, and City. All three were located together, but there was a chance they were no longer in the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms Game World. Therefore, to play it safe, Shen Fei’s final choice was to inherit his pet: the Profound Turtle.

He reasoned that if he inherited his Hero, Sky Control, the remaining Pet and City could be at risk, especially if they weren’t in the game world. On the other hand, if he inherited the pet, its disappearance would alert Sky Control, even in another world. This would most likely cause him to return to the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms with the Floating City.

This was the pet he had spent over 50,000,000 on, frantically hatching countless eggs to obtain. It was a one-in-a-million, Saint Level pet—a tier higher than even a Divine Beast. Over a month ago, after acquiring the Great Xuanwu in the game, Shen Fei had spent a fortune maxing out the Black Tortoise’s level, Enhancement, skills, and other Attributes. Now, this Invincible pet, which could carry an entire city and Enlarge and Reduce at will, was finally being inherited.

WHOOSH.

Following Shen Fei’s command, a small creature slowly took shape. It had ferocious-looking horns, a pair of remarkably clear eyes, and the appearance of a turtle, albeit with slightly different details. The palm-sized little turtle quickly materialized before him and let out an immature roar.

AWOO!

Just as Shen Fei’s eyes widened, about to exclaim at its miniature size, the "little turtle" transformed into a streak of lightning and shot straight out the villa’s window.

WHOOSH. WHOOSH. WHOOSH.

Seeing the little turtle shoot out the window, Shen Fei’s family, who had all been focused on his inheritance, snapped their gazes in its direction. While their own inherited abilities were important, what their leader Shen Fei inherited was far more worthy of attention. They all knew he had hesitated for a long time before making his choice. Now that a pocket-sized turtle had appeared only to roar once and fly out the window, they couldn’t help but rush outside after it.

WHOOSH.

As his family members scrambled out, Shen Fei also got up and followed. Unlike them, however, he wasn’t panicked. He calmly observed the Black Tortoise’s Attributes through the newly appeared "Pet Sub-menu" on his personal panel as he walked outside. Then, like his family, he tilted his head back and looked up. A moment later, the composed Shen Fei was left completely dumbfounded.

He knew the Great Xuanwu was incredible, but he never expected it to be *this* incredible.

The little turtle that had flown high into the sky was rapidly growing. Soon, the fist-sized creature had become as massive as a mountain, pressing down over Qing City and casting a vast shadow that blotted out the starlight. The entire Qing City urban sprawl, hundreds of kilometers long and wide, was completely engulfed by it.

Simultaneously, as the Black Tortoise stretched out its body, the rumbling and roaring that had filled the world at the start of the inheritance instantly vanished. In Qing City, players saw the shadow in the sky—larger than their entire urban sprawl—and warily prepared for the worst. Outside the city’s perimeter, the various inherited monsters, Intelligent NPCs, and Super Bosses all fell silent the instant the Black Tortoise revealed its form, as if they were cowering quails. Even the dozens of noisy Monster Nests surrounding Qing City, which had been preparing to spawn monsters, were suddenly intimidated into silence. The prior clamor ceased completely.

CRACK!

CRACK!

CRACK!

Under the night sky, what should have been an extremely boisterous moment of game ability inheritance had, with the Great Xuanwu’s appearance, become deathly still.
