1169: Chapter 348: Everything is Done 1169: Chapter 348: Everything is Done The world shone with several times the brightness of the great sun before plummeting into utter darkness.
Su He was stunned.
Previously, he only knew that Thai Zu was very powerful, often hearing that the Phoenix Ancestor was the eldest, and Thai Zu was the strongest.
However, this was his first time experiencing just how strong Thai Zu was.
Thai Zu, in striking the great sun, was like the Taoist Ancestor himself, silencing all with a single slap.
His mentor, the Old turtle, was incredibly powerful, and not by just a little bit!
Su He looked towards Thai Zu in amazement, only to see the Old turtle—frantically scooping towards the void, his face showing a hint of panic.
“Bad news, too much strength, I almost killed it.”
Several iron chains shot out from Thai Zu’s body into the void, moments later dragging back a dim, lightless red sun.
It’s unknown how far the red sun was, yet the aura of complete annihilation had already spread.
Thai Zu breathed a sigh of relief: “Good, it’s not dead!”
Su He gazed at the red sun; the great sun had lost its power to illuminate the Ten Thousand Realms, resembling nothing more than a dark red sphere being dragged back by iron chains.
A Taiyuan opened before Thai Zu, its distance from our world unknown; it engulfed inward, and the red sun bound by the chains instantly fell into the Taiyuan.
Su He saw Thai Zu throw one Heavenly Material Earthly Treasure after another into the Taiyuan, bit by bit feeding them into the great sun, reigniting the nearly extinguished sun once more.
The dead embers revived.
“Elder ancestor?” Su He inquired, puzzled.
Thai Zu closed the Taiyuan, chuckling and said: “This world can’t be without a great sun, but since the great sun belongs to the others, we must find a way to correct it!
Let the Elder Ancestor try and see if I can refine it.”
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where the great sun had been previously.
The entire void seemed to shudder timidly.
Then, as if a torch was lit, a point of light appeared, followed by a brand-new great sun leaping into view, hanging in the Nine Heavens and illuminating the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The sunlight passed by Thai Zu’s side, extra gentle.
Su He: “…”
“Off you go, off you go!” Thai Zu waved his claw, about to send Su He back.
“Finish dealing with the matters of this era and come back soon!”
With the great sun in his hands, Thai Zu could naturally sense its abnormality—someone had stolen the power of the great sun!
But wasn’t it stolen following the path that the Turtle Kid took from this era?
The one capable of such methods is definitely not ordinary.
Thai Zu’s gaze was profound.
Seeing that Thai Zu was hurrying him away, Su He urgently said, “Elder Ancestor, wait a moment!”
While speaking, Su He reached out and grabbed two Turtle Shells from the External Space and handed them to Thai Zu.
Thai Zu looked at the Turtle Shells and laughed contentedly.
Satisfied, he nodded: “Not bad!”
He complimented Su He: “The Turtle Shells of our lineage have been damaged since the Ancient Times and haven’t recovered to this day.
Your Turtle Shells are just what we need to repair them!”
These Turtle Shells were refined from the Dragon Turtle Shell, and for restoration, Turtle Shells needed to be infused.
But even for a Dragon Turtle like Huang, killing seventeen or eighteen of them might be necessary to repair such a treasure.
Who could afford that?
Originally, he thought that these Turtle Shells were irreparable, or perhaps, heartlessly, to seek repair at Ming’s place.
Now, with an extra set of Turtle Shells, not only could they be repaired, but the treasure could be taken to the next level.
As Thai Zu spoke, the two Turtle Shells began to fly up, expanding in front of him.
With a point of Thai Zu’s fingernail, the two Turtle Shells disassembled like machinery into countless scutes.
With a swipe of the Elder’s fingernail, four damaged scutes were tossed out, landing beside Su He.
“These four are useless now, you can use Fu Mountain to absorb them, enhancing your External Appearance.”
He had clearly seen the battle in Guiwang Mountain.
The Turtle Kid’s Boundary Status and Tao Cultivation had risen, his Combat Power was not bad, he could go anywhere in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms as long as he did not encounter an Immortal Sovereign level individual.
Yet, what the Dragon Turtle Tribe excelled in, defense, has become the Turtle Kid’s weakness.
External Appearance is not only related to Tao Cultivation and Boundary Status.
It also involves extracting elements from external objects.
The Turtle Kid’s external resources had not kept up.
Regarding defense, if the treasures of the Dragon Turtle Tribe are ranked second, no one dares claim to be first!
Absorbing the four Turtle Shells would suffice even if one reaches the Opening Heaven Seven-fold.
Su He’s eyes gleamed.
Smiling, he gathered up the scutes.
As the Turtle Shells split apart, Su He could make out some clues.
These scutes were of the same origin, not put together by a group of Dragon Turtles, but left behind by some most formidable elder ancestor.
He wondered if that elder ancestor’s lineage was strong enough to win against him.
Ancestor’s direct Disciple, eh~
Su He lifted his head and stared straight at Thai Zu.
“Anything else?” Thai Zu looked down at him.
Su He was slightly awkward: “Elder Ancestor, I am now a Direct Disciple of the Taoist Ancestor.”
A flicker of oddity passed through Thai Zu’s eyes: “Right!”
Su He raised his head proudly: “The Taoist Ancestor is a figure from before Ancient Times, all in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms are his juniors; so, has my status also risen with the tide?”
Thai Zu laughed: “Correct.
If you encounter enemies in the future, you can even reprimand them as unworthy descendants!”
Su He chuckled gleefully: “Then, Elder Ancestor, I’ve been calling you that for so long, how about you call me that once in return?”
Thai Zu looked at him, his smile warm.
Even his dim elderly eyes showed laughter, an old turtle’s gaze shining so brilliantly it could not be subdued even by the newborn great sun.
Su He felt the warm Turtle Shell, yet a chill suddenly struck his heart.
“Elder Ancestor…I was just joking…”
…
Wrapped by a cold sensation, Su He gradually awakened, his vision filled with purple.
Looking around, he was in the Hall of the Netherworld King.
The Netherworld King’s body was mostly frozen, as she looked outwards without noticing Su He.
After a moment of silence, Su He asked softly: “Senior sister, how come I’m here?”
“I don’t know.” The voice of the Netherworld King was as cold as ever: “The space opened up, and you were thrown out.”
She looked down at Su He: “Who have you provoked?”
To be able to bypass the main gate, to directly locate Guiwang Mountain, to regard the Rule of Zhenyou Mountain as nothing—such beings are not even to be underestimated by her, alive or not.
