Chapter 533 - 206: The World-Suppressing Great Xuanwu

Aside from the grinding sound of tectonic plates tearing as Blue Star continued to expand, the entire world fell utterly silent. The chirping of insects, the calls of birds, the roars of monsters, the shouts of people... every sound had vanished without a trace.

Every person and every monster was trembling in fear, looking up at the ancient shadow that continued to grow overhead. As the little turtle’s body grew larger, its mountain-like shell, its sharp beak, and its utterly ferocious and mysterious appearance were finally revealed.

The ancient, the unique, the powerful. Upon its appearance, the Great Xuanwu, which had silenced the entire world in an instant, began to wantonly display its form.

Below, seeing the Black Tortoise’s appearance, a line of poetry couldn’t help but surface in Shen Fei’s mind: ’When spring comes and I do not speak, which insect dares to make a sound!’

After being inherited, the Great Xuanwu had done nothing else. The mere power it revealed and displayed was enough to intimidate everything in and around Qing City into silence.

"This is bad!"

"Boss!"

"It’s the Holy Beast Domain!"

"My Comprehensive Combat Power has been reduced by 20%!"

Beside him, Tang San, whom Shen Fei had called to his side during the game ability inheritance, suddenly cried out. As an Intelligent NPC, Tang San was clearly not of the same faction as human players. After the Great Xuanwu revealed its sky-blotting form, his Combat Power was immediately suppressed, weakening by a full twenty percent! And this was while the Black Tortoise wasn’t even consciously or deliberately releasing its power.

"Come back!"

Seeing that his family’s breathing had become slightly labored under the oppressive pressure of the shadow overhead, and confirming through the panel that the Black Tortoise had completed its inheritance, Shen Fei gave the command without a second thought.

SWOOSH.

With Shen Fei’s command, the shadow blanketing the entire city flickered for an instant. Then, a small, exquisite turtle with bright, pitch-black eyes appeared before him.

Not bad! Showing off your dominance the moment you arrive, huh... Shen Fei couldn’t help but chuckle as he glanced at the Black Tortoise perched on his shoulder.

Even now, though the Black Tortoise had shrunk and withdrawn its Holy Beast Aura, the area around Qing City remained eerily quiet. Aside from the sound of the fracturing earth, not a single creature dared to make another peep.

Fortunately, it was still nighttime. Although the Black Tortoise’s colossal form had blotted out the starry sky and caused quite a commotion, the darkness limited visibility. The spectacle, therefore, hadn’t been quite so outrageous.

"Tell everyone not to be alarmed. Get ready to fend off the massive monster tide," Shen Fei said, turning his head. Seeing his family’s eyes now fixed on the "little turtle" on his shoulder, he smiled slightly and immediately called out to Sun Yu.

He knew that while not everyone might have seen the shadowy form of the Black Tortoise that had blotted out the sky, the sudden, complete silence that had fallen over Qing City would have definitely surprised many. To prevent the situation caused by the Black Tortoise’s display from interfering with Qing City’s upcoming defense against the monster tide, Shen Fei quickly gave Sun Yu his instructions.

"Oh! Oh! Right! Right!!"

Startled by Shen Fei’s reminder, Sun Yu nodded hastily and immediately began making contact.

Sun Yu had already inherited his pet from the Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms game. Moreover, his pet was a Divine Beast that his Big Bro, Shen Fei, had given him. Therefore, Sun Yu’s pet was of a very high grade. His Divine Level pet was of an even higher grade than the one belonging to Huang Yi, who was far away in the Divine Capital. So far, in every "Beast Fighting" match Sun Yu had been in, his Divine Level pet had never lost. Before Shen Fei inherited his pet, Sun Yu’s pet was the undisputed NO.1.

But just now, when Big Bro Shen Fei’s Black Tortoise was inherited, Sun Yu saw his own Divine Level pet suddenly shrink its head, becoming as meek as a quail. Especially when the Black Tortoise wantonly stretched its body in the sky above Qing City, he saw that his own Divine Beast didn’t even dare to twitch. Its entire body had gone completely stiff.

It was only a moment ago, when Big Bro Shen Fei told him to notify the others, that Sun Yu noticed his Divine Beast pet had finally relaxed a little.

* * *

"Holy shit!! Did Brother Chongtian’s Great Xuanwu just get inherited??"

"Damn, my Immortal Level pet actually pissed itself from fear..."

"Damn, my pet got so scared it started hiccuping and it still hasn’t stopped. What do I do??"

While sending a message to Zhang Qiqiang to tell him nothing was wrong, just that his Big Bro’s pet had been inherited, Sun Yu opened the Heaven-Reaching Gang’s group chat to check on the situation.

Compared to others, the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, who also possessed abilities from Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms, were the most informed. They also knew from the game’s previous leaderboards that Shen Fei’s pet was the one and only Saint Level pet.

A moment ago, when the Black Tortoise stretched its body, everyone’s pets had all prostrated themselves. Countless pets had either pissed themselves in fear or were left trembling all over. And trembling was one of the better reactions. Looking through the group chat, Sun Yu saw that quite a few pets had actually fainted from fright.

"Invincible!"

"I looked up at the sky just now and a giant shadow appeared! Did you guys see it!!"

"Reporting! I saw it too!!"

"I also saw that the shadow was oval-shaped, with five giant cylinders sticking out from its sides..."
