911: Chapter 252 Beginning of the Counter-Kill 911: Chapter 252 Beginning of the Counter-Kill (It’s almost four in the morning, I am so exhausted that I cannot keep on writing.
Let’s wait for the next chapter together.)
There were a total of three claps, played over and over.
They seemed mundane but…
When Baiyin clapped, his face subtly changed, showing a bit of strain!
What kind of clapping would make the mighty Immortal Sovereign feel strained?
Su He stopped recalling in his mind and used his power to project the scene before him—this small piece of the scene, from when Baiyin clapped to when the grass grew and flowers blossomed, played back bit by bit.
Over and over again, yet Su He could see nothing out of the ordinary.
He lowered his head, deep in thought for a long moment.
Then, he lifted his eyes, the urgency disappeared, replaced by a profound calmness, the whispers of the Tao Te Ching resonating in his Inner World.
While reciting, Su He watched the scene of Baiyin clapping again.
At first, everything was as usual, without any reaction—until Su He silently recited: “The Dao produces one, one produces two…
all things bear Yin and embrace Yang, and achieve harmony by combining these forces…”
In the replayed scene, Baiyin’s bare hands suddenly changed.
In Su He’s view, the scene completely transformed; Baiyin was still on the celestial body, still clapping, but his presence was like a giant reaching through the heavens, toying with the celestial body in the palm of his hand.
A gentle clap disturbed the life energy of the celestial body.
The life energy split into two, dividing into Yin and Yang, as well as male and female.
With another clap, Yin met Yang and male clashed with female, different kinds of life energy exploded, merging into chaos.
A speck of light emerged from the celestial body, invisible and intangible, but Su He knew that life had begun there.
He had not noticed it at the time, and it was even harder to detect from the replayed scene.
Baiyin seemed to have anticipated this.
With another clap, the scene sped up—grass grew in an instant, flowers bloomed in a moment.
The flowers swayed, also dividing into male and female.
“The valley spirit never dies; it is the mysterious female.
The entrance to the mysterious female is the root of heaven and earth.
Continuous as if it existed, it is used without effort…”
The Dao energy of the celestial body persisted, the changes of Yin and Yang were endless, life thrived, ceaselessly reproducing.
Suddenly, Su He understood; the replayed scene before him continued, the silent recitation of the Tao Te Ching continued, yet his eyes lost focus as Turtle Life entered a state of sudden enlightenment for the second time.
In his Inner World, a fine drizzle fell, with a gentle breeze brushing by, as the Jade Toad alternated with the Golden Crow, and the great sun chased away the Bright Moon.
In the blink of an eye, a day and night passed.
Su He’s eyes slowly regained their sparkle.
He opened his eyes, swept away the scene before him with a wave of his paw, and in his eyes was a touch of mirth, a touch of solemnity as he looked at his own Inner World.
From his first Opening Heaven, to the nearly complete Opening Heaven Three-fold, this was the first time he truly examined his Inner World.
In the past, whenever there was the smallest change in his Inner World, Su He knew immediately, without having personally experienced it like this.
He looked at the mountains, the water, watched the Golden Crow spread its wings in the great sun, and the ethereal Bright Moon.
The Bright Moon was a facade—without encountering Mingzu, he hadn’t obtained the Origin of the Bright Moon.
Step by step, Su He walked, measuring his Inner World with his own body.
He passed by Tai’a Mountain where Hexagrams played mischievously.
He passed by the Netherworld Realm where Ghost Generals bowed down.
He passed by the Heavenly World where floating islands twined around, and Tianhe sparkled brilliantly.
From Tianhe, Su He plunged down, falling into the sea with the rain.
As soon as he touched the sea surface, Su He slapped down.
The sea surface exploded with a boom.
Centered on Su He’s paw, a white light surged through the whole world as if cut in two.
It was not split in two by a sword’s strike, rather all things were divided into Yin and Yang at that moment.
The mountains had Yin and Yang, the water had Yin and Yang.
Water met mountain with a resounding roar that shook the heavens.
Su He turned to look at the water, and a vast ocean magnified in his sight.
Amid the undulations of the sea water, a fleck of floating green caught his eye!
The Inner World naturally would not evolve slowly from the smallest organisms like the real world does.
This was a world infused with cultivation!
Su He couldn’t recognize what that speck of green was, whether it was algae or Immortal Herbs.
At the instant that speck of green appeared, a whirlwind seemed to sweep through the entire Inner World, instantly transforming it.
A touch of blistering heat rose from the lower abdomen, drilling fiercely into the True Yuan.
The Life Force!
Su He’s True Yuan welcomed its fifth power.
Pure True Yuan, Power of the World, Power of Xuanwu, Power of Time, Life Force!
Except for the fourth Power of Time, which was somewhat independent, born from the Star Ring and seemingly fused yet not fused within the True Yuan, the other four powers suddenly coalesced into one.
The quality of the True Yuan increased in an instant.
A formidable pressure burst forth from Su He.
Fire Turtle, who was guarding at his side, was instantly toppled over.
She crashed noisily into the bottom of the canyon from inside her Turtle Shell.
It took a long while before she tentatively poked her head out, stealing glances this way—although, technically, Dragon Head couldn’t retract into the Turtle Shell, but in times of fear, it always gave the impression of a turtle retracting its head.
Despite the sudden surge in Su He’s aura, his consciousness didn’t plunge into Chaos, still managing to protect her with a hand, preventing her from being directly blasted into pieces by the aura.
The Life Force was not about quantity; the most fundamental aspect was the birth of this speck.
With it, the nature of True Yuan was completely different.
True Yuan rose from the Dantian, circulated through the body returning to the lower abdomen.
A full circulation followed by another round.
Su He’s whole body made popping sounds, as if from the Turtle Shell to the flesh everything was changing anew.
This had not occurred when Xuanwu or Time Power joined.
Only Life Force was different.
It seemed that with this power, the Inner World finally became a true world in its own right.
This moment lasted a very long time—so long that Su He’s dragon whiskers grew!
Full-grown dragon whiskers were a sign of an adult Dragon Turtle.
Opening Heaven Three-fold was just the beginning of the dragon whiskers emerging, but they didn’t look as unsightly as stubble; rather, they moved with elegance, waving with the swing of the Dragon Head.
Su He increasingly resembled an adult Dragon Turtle—the Dragon Horn had already been forced out in the Sealed Emperor Great World.
Based solely on appearance, Su He now looked no different from an ordinary adult Dragon Turtle.
The only issue was that his size remained a mere zhang, and even now, after advancing, his size had not increased in the slightest.
The Toad, not knowing when it had leaped out from within Su He’s Inner World, sat idly by the side of the Fire Turtle, leaning on its body, watching Su He’s advancement.
The Fire Turtle glanced at the Houdou and Tengu atop its head, which were trying every method to break into the gorge, and then looked towards Su He, whispering, “Clan brother, is it not over yet?”
The Toad spread its hands out: “The Opening Heaven Three-fold is the most important level for a Dragon Turtle, where both the flesh body and Divine Skills advance.
Naturally, it won’t be quick.”
The Fire Turtle, watching Su He, once again felt envious even though its realm was not enough to sense Su He’s status.
It knew that in just half a month, Su He had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Su He, with his eyes closed and immersed, heard light sounds from his body, his inner vision wandering at will within.
His heart thundered like roaring thunder, sending blood in streams to his whole body.
Unlike the previous True Blood Army Formation, the battle formation was a battle formation, and the cargo ship a cargo ship.
But now, they seemed to have merged into one, indistinguishable by Su He himself.
However, as the True Blood flowed, a killing aura surged.
A Pure Gold Dice bobbed up and down in Su He’s inner sight, revealing the manifestation of the Mountain Divine God Seal in his bloodline.
At this moment, the laws within the Mountain Divine God Seal were being tidied up one by one, as the golden dice disassembled and reassembled.
This process was repeated continuously.
Next to it, droplets of rain sharp as swords represented A Thousand Weigh.
There were also the North Underworld Vortex, Taiyuan, Snow Concealment…
Each Divine Skill manifested in Su He’s “eyes,” growing stronger continuously.
The entire Opening Heaven Three-fold bestowed only one New Divine God Skill; the rest were inheritable from the Two-fold Heaven.
Learning no new Divine Skill during the Opening Heaven Three-fold, the entire boundary status focused on advancing existing Divine Skills.
From power to function.
It was at this time that the Power of the World truly revealed its role, gradually dividing and integrating into the flesh body.
Su He could sense that with every move he made, he could rip apart space at any time!
No wonder his clan uncle could easily travel through space by tearing it apart.
He had struggled for two years, carefully preparing passages that took two to three days to ready for just one trip.
Su He inspected his body bit by bit.
He could feel that, even though advancement was not yet complete, his combat power had soared.
At this moment, he could crush his two-month-old self—that had just traveled through time and space—with a single slap—a bit exaggerated, perhaps, but he could do it within a quarter of an hour.
This advancement was not limited to the Dragon Turtle Body; the Spirit Snake was similarly sharp, moving more keenly, its body becoming stronger.
It seemed capable of killing an Opening Heaven Four-fold Divine God Beast with a single lash of its tail.
The Mountain-bearing Great Net engulfed everything around Su He, as the Toad tossed out treasures from its pocket one by one, allowing them to be absorbed.
Even considerately sorting the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures for Su He, allowing him to consume them at will.
Toads are greedy, but they know priorities.
Su He’s advancement couldn’t be delayed—what went out must come back in tenfold!
The Toad quietly discovered its own uniqueness; the treasures in its pockets didn’t consume extra Time Power when traveling through time—perfect for ancient-modern smuggling, with immense profits from no capital!
Most of the treasures it had collected were still preserved in its pocket.
“Help me pull the Opening Heaven Three-fold Divine Skills!” Su He’s voice rang in the Toad’s mind.
With a bound, the Toad leaped onto Su He’s Intention Orifice.
Both turtle and toad entered the Heritage Palace and returned in a moment.
Su He had acquired a new Magic Skill, a new Divine Skill.
No need to elaborate on the Magic Skill, the Divine Skill was the only one inheritable from the Opening Heaven Three-fold: Instant Brilliance!
Instant Brilliance was not an independent Divine Skill, but an auxiliary one!
Because the Opening Heaven Three-fold significantly enhanced the flesh body, capable of supporting explosive power, Instant Brilliance could be used on any Divine Skill, instantly unleashing all the True Yuan in the body and elevating that Divine Skill to an unbelievable level of power.
This was a Divine Skill exclusive to Water Dragon Turtles, perhaps capturing the essence of ice and snow melting and exploding with a blast.
The dice rolled, landing on four.
Pity it represented inheritable speed, not the power of the Divine Skill.
The quadrupled inheritance speed was too conspicuous, and Su He felt it in an instant.
The Toad jumped out once again, landing by the Fire Turtle, leaning on it as they waited for Su He to finish.
Days passed, and Su He had not moved at all, completely immersed in cultivation.
He paid no mind to the roaring and formation-breaking above the gorge.
Finally, after a month, Su He’s body stopped trembling, as all his imposing aura gradually retracted, no longer showing.
“It’s done!” The Toad’s eyes lit up, looking towards Su He.
But Su He’s body flashed, he soared into the sky; before reaching above the gorge, a mighty Divine Sense burst forth from the Dragon Horn, ascending into the heavens.
Breaking free from the gorge and soaring up to the Nine Heavens, he rammed into the Void Forbidden Divine Pearl hanging in the sky.
Previously, his Divine Sense and Intention were insufficient.
He could not snatch the Divine Pearl instantly, as getting into a deadlock with the Houdou would be counterproductive.
Now, he no longer needed to worry about that.
A tremendous Telekinesis instantly activated the Divine God Sealed Forbidden Door Rules.
The Void Forbidden Divine Pearl trembled violently before sinking rapidly, plunging into the gorge to settle above Su He’s head.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The Houdou above only noticed the Dragon Turtle shooting into the sky after periods of quiet.
The Divine Pearl had already fallen.
A dice rolled and the pearl shook, transforming into three.
