Chapter 373: Chapter 294: Blood Evil Three Tribulations (2)

They seemed to have returned from the Underworld, carrying a heavy Resentment that erupted violently. They swarmed around Yan Ta and knelt on the ground.

Yan Ta’s face was deathly pale. He took a deep breath, his killing intent exploding forth. He pointed a finger at Yu Changsheng, and then let it fall!

"Blood Evil Resentment Calamity! A calamity of no escape!"

RUMBLE!

A bloody light covered the heavens and the earth. As Yan Ta’s finger fell, countless Resentful Souls turned in unison. A blood-red mist surged beneath their feet as they let out mournful cries that blotted out the sky, charging toward Yu Changsheng to kill him.

"!!!"

Yu Changsheng’s brow furrowed as a sense of crisis washed over him. The Spirit Beasts in the east, south, and west each radiated a white light as the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation shifted. In the north, where the Profound Turtle was, a blue light suddenly flared. The Profound Turtle’s enormous phantom reappeared in the world, exuding a heavy pressure and a majestic bestial might as it let out a low cry.

"Wuuuuuu..."

"Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity!"

The Domain shattered and torrential currents surged forth once more. The Profound Turtle radiated a blue light that contracted, instantly condensing into a hemispherical water orb that enveloped Yan Ta. Inside the orb, Heaven-reaching water pillars transformed into tornadic whirlpools that churned madly, and a violent tearing sensation swiftly swept over Yan Ta’s entire body and mind.

Heaven and earth roared. Monstrous waves surged to the sky, and wave after wave of torrents rose up, causing a great upheaval in this already gloomy place.

Yan Ta’s gaze was grim. He struggled to turn his head and look at the water orb that enveloped and restrained him. He thrashed about wildly, but a feeling of powerlessness suddenly rose from his heart.

’This guy’s Spirit Beasts... something’s not right...’

Yan Ta muttered to himself, then gritted his teeth, his expression turning vicious. He slapped his chest again, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from the corner of his mouth, sprinkling over the endless Resentful Souls. Immediately, a monstrous bloody light erupted from his body. The Blood Evil Resentment soared, heaven-reaching. The Resentful Souls, each with a different form, shrieked as they charged at Yu Changsheng.

"Hmph! Vile and wicked arts!"

Yu Changsheng’s eyes turned cold. He could naturally tell that these Resentful Souls had been refined from living souls using a special, extremely cruel method. While their power was astonishing, the Resentment they contained was an offense against heaven itself.

Just a single glance was enough to rattle Yu Changsheng’s mind, making it somewhat unstable.

Fortunately, the Profound Turtle finished gathering its power at this very moment. The turbulent, hemispherical water orb suddenly contracted, tightly trapping Yan Ta. It then unleashed its might. Within the Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity, winds surged and clouds gathered. The Profound Turtle’s phantom abruptly expanded, appearing in the sky within the water orb.

RUMBLE!

The Resentful Souls shrieked, continuously ramming into the water orb, but they only managed to create ripples. Although the orb shook constantly, it did not shatter.

A dazzling blue light once again erupted from the Profound Turtle, covering its entire body. The Colorful Star Deer cried out mournfully, the Red Purgatory Dragon weakened, and the Golden-Winged Eagle collapsed to the ground. All of their power was channeled into the Profound Turtle. A sweet taste filled Yu Changsheng’s mouth as his aura flagged. Inside him, his physical body, Divine Soul, and Magical Power were almost completely drained.

"Shattered Abyss!"

In the deep water, the Profound Turtle raised its head. Its already immense body suddenly swelled, shaking the heavens and the earth. It opened its turtle-like mouth and took a powerful suck!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Instantly, whirlpools formed and a star sea flowed. A tremendous suction force erupted from its mouth, pulling the water orb trapping Yan Ta toward it. Its sharp fangs glinted with a cold light, seeming to possess the power of Opening the Heavens as it bit down hard on the water orb!

CRACK! CRACK...

Cracks appeared all over the water orb. Yan Ta looked up at the Profound Turtle’s enormous, gaping maw, and a trace of terror finally flashed in his eyes. An immense sense of life-and-death crisis erupted at that moment!

"No! I am Yan Ta of the Profound Yin Sect, the personal disciple of an Elder! If you kill me today, you, Yu Changsheng, will never know a day of peace!"

At this moment, Yan Ta panicked. Faced with the threat of death, he hurriedly resorted to threats of his own.

"Heh, so what?"

Yu Changsheng was panting, his eyes flickering, but he remained unmoved.

"Don’t kill me! The Celestial One Divine Water can be yours. How about we let bygones be bygones?"

Seeing that Yu Changsheng was unmoved, Yan Ta gritted his teeth. As he continued to speak, he did not simply wait for death. He was a ruthless man. He decisively sliced off one of his own arms. The gushing blood bloomed, weaving together before him until it finally condensed into a massive, blood-red Other Shore Flower that enveloped him, emitting an immeasurable bloody calamity and astonishing ripples of power.

"Too late."

Yu Changsheng’s gaze was icy. The next moment, the Profound Turtle’s great mouth snapped shut. The water orb formed by the Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity shattered. Everything contained within it, under that crushing and tearing force, was completely separated and torn apart, molecule by molecule like water droplets.

Yan Ta was horrified. Under this immense force, the Other Shore Flower before him only hesitated for a moment before unraveling inch by inch, exposing his body. In the next instant, his body was ground down bit by bit along with the tearing currents, dissipating from the world.

PFFT... PFFT...

Yu Changsheng collapsed to the ground. The Red Purgatory Dragon, Colorful Star Deer, and Golden-Winged Eagle fell unconscious, transforming into streams of light as they were recalled to his Inner Realm. The Profound Turtle’s body also shrank back to its normal size, its once heaven-reaching aura turning listless. It glanced up at Yu Changsheng before flowing beneath him, lifting him onto its shell.

’It’s finally over...’

Feeling the depleted Cultivation within his body, a look of exhaustion appeared on Yu Changsheng’s face. After swallowing another Elixir, he lay sprawled on the Profound Turtle’s back, panting heavily.

"With your current Cultivation, forcing a summoning of four Spirit Beasts is too draining. You can’t last long. Especially given my level, and that Red Purgatory Dragon of yours isn’t low-level either. The burden on you is immense."

The Profound Turtle turned its head, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and spoke coolly. It opened its mouth and spat out a Storage Pouch, tossing it to Yu Changsheng.

It was precisely Yan Ta’s Storage Pouch.

"I’ve erased the mark on it, so don’t worry."

"Many thanks, Senior," Yu Changsheng said gratefully, struggling to cup his hands.

"No need. This time was a fluke. If we weren’t on Huishui Mountain where I have the advantage, I really might not have been that kid’s match. You too, you need to hurry up and break through to the Golden Core realm. Otherwise, I’m limited by you and can’t use much of my strength. Just two Skills are enough to completely drain you. It’s frustrating."

The Profound Turtle shook its head and spoke in a low rumble, its tone laced with a hint of grievance.

Hearing this, Yu Changsheng scratched his head and gave a sheepish laugh, not knowing what to say.

’I really do need to raise my Cultivation quickly.’ From the moment the Profound Turtle appeared, not counting its Domain, it had only used two Skills—Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity and Shattered Abyss—and it had already completely drained him and his other three Spirit Beasts. And this was while they were in deep water, where the Profound Turtle had an external source of power to draw from.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, Yu Changsheng gave a helpless, wry smile and a slight nod. He put away Yan Ta’s Storage Pouch, not bothering to open it just yet. His gaze shifted, falling upon the Celestial One Divine Water, which was emitting a seven-colored glow in the gloom.

The Celestial One Divine Water truly lived up to its name as a supreme treasure. No matter how earth-shattering the battle between Yu Changsheng and Yan Ta had been, it remained completely undamaged, still shining brilliantly.

"We should thank that Yan Ta. It saved us the trouble of having to wear down the Celestial One Divine Water’s innate defenses."

The Profound Turtle let out a chuckle and sucked in with its mouth. The next moment, the Celestial One Divine Water was drawn toward it, slowly floating up.

As it moved, the surrounding currents also shifted abruptly, rushing in the direction of the Celestial One Divine Water and continuously crashing against the Profound Turtle. But the turtle was as solid as a rock and naturally remained unmoved.

"So this is the Celestial One Divine Water."

Yu Changsheng’s eyes were filled with curiosity. He gently tapped it. Instantly, a seven-colored light burst forth, but it was soft, merely shimmering. An immense sensation filled every corner of Yu Changsheng’s mind, as if what he had touched was not a drop of water, but a boundless ocean that stretched beyond sight.

"Let’s head up first."

The Profound Turtle stretched out its head and took the Celestial One Divine Water into its mouth. Paddling its four limbs, it carried Yu Changsheng and steadily floated up toward the surface of the water.
