Chapter 240: Ancient Broken Formation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The God Demon Sect was destroyed, so their small world should have fallen into enemy hands. Yet their opponent did not claim it. Not only did they not seize the small world, it was even preserved remarkably intact.

Much time had passed since then. The small world had not only avoided ruin but thrived. It had even nurtured many divine medicines.

“Elder Wan, how goes breaking the formation?”

The Heavenly Heart Holy Son stood atop a mountain, gazing at a distant palace. That palace towered into the clouds, even higher than the mountain where the Holy Son stood. A gilded plaque hung over the palace gates. In flamboyant calligraphy were two characters, Scripture Pavilion.

This place had endured since ancient times. It had suffered immense damage long ago, its formation largely erased. Yet even the remnants held tremendous power, enough to annihilate Saint Realm experts.

Thus many suspected the Scripture Pavilion still contained some of the God Demon Sect’s cultivation methods and divine powers. As such, many Quasi-Saint Realm experts had converged, combining strength to dismantle the formation. The Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect was one such party.

For this Scripture Pavilion, they hadn’t even participated in vying for the Black Tortoise’s blood essence.

“Holy Son, the formation masters gathered are considerable this time. The ancient formation left by the God Demon Sect has already been broken by thirty percent. The pace will accelerate from here on, and it will only take half a day to completely dismantle it!” Elder Wan replied slowly.

“Good.” The Heavenly Heart Holy Son nodded, satisfied.

But then, as if recalling something, he hurriedly asked, “What about the Black Tortoise’s blood essence?”

“The Black Tortoise’s blood essence…” At this, Elder Wan’s expression grew solemn.

The appearance of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence and the Scripture Pavilion practically coincided. One could only obtain a single opportunity. Many had abandoned the Scripture Pavilion and headed for the Black Tortoise’s blood essence. Yet some forces remained at the Scripture Pavilion, such as the Dashang Empire, the Dachu Empire, the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect, the Spirit Race, and more.

Though lacking Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses, they still sent some Nirvana Realm experts to investigate since Su Chen was present. With him there, the Black Tortoise’s blood essence falling to others was impossible.

However, considering most entering the God Demon Sect’s ruins were Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses, uncertainty crept in.

Su Chen was undoubtedly mighty, but at most, he could handle one Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse. Even if Su Chen’s talent was astonishing, he couldn’t possibly gain an advantage in the hands of a group of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses. He might even be swept aside…

“I heard… The matter of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence is not as simple as it seems. Besides the Black Tortoise’s blood essence, it seems that there is also the Black Tortoise’s egg…” Elder Wan pondered before slowly continuing.

“Oh?” At this, the Holy Son’s brows shot up in surprise. “Elder Wan, are you sure there is also a Black Tortoise’s egg?”

The Black Tortoise held an exalted position in the Demon Race. Though it had been the God Demon Sect’s guardian beast, that didn’t make it a mere gatekeeper. It assumed that role due to a pact with the sect.

Legend said in ancient times, the Black Tortoise’s treatment in the sect matched even the Supreme Elder’s.

Now, with its egg emerged, many factions of the Demon Race likely could no longer resist.

In this golden era, if the Demon Race could invite the Black Tortoise back, their confidence would greatly swell.

“Yes,” Elder Wan said heavily with a firm nod. “The commotion caused by the emergence of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence this time is not insignificant. Su Chen killed a late-stage Quasi-Saint Realm expert from the Infinite Demon Sect. Earlier, the mysterious woman outside the ruins was transcending the Nirvana Tribulation.”

Speaking of this, Elder Wan looked up at the Heavenly heart Holy Son with some hesitation.

“I heard… I heard that the mysterious woman transcended the ninth Nirvana Tribulation!”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Heart Holy Son’s expression changed dramatically, and he said incredulously, “Are you sure this information is accurate?”

The Nirvana Tribulation was the first test set by the Heavenly Dao. Although it wasn’t very difficult, the value of the ninth heavenly tribulation was beyond comparison. In ordinary times, there would only be one or two individuals who transcended it, and these few were hailed as prodigies with the potential to become Great Emperors! But now… Why did it seem like the ninth heavenly tribulation had become somewhat worthless…

First, Su Chen transcended the tenth Nirvana Tribulation. Then, Marquis Champion of the Dashang Empire surpassed the ninth Nirvana Tribulation.

And now, there was another one, Ye Ruxue. This was simply unbelievable. Since when did transcending the ninth Nirvana Tribulation become so common? In less than a year, there were consecutive prodigies transcending the ninth Nirvana Tribulation… How were those prodigies who had only transcended the seventh or eighth Nirvana Tribulation going to survive?

“The information is accurate,” Elder Wan said with a serious expression, “and not only that!”

“What else?” the Holy Son hurriedly asked.

By now, curiosity completely gripped him. In his view, no news could be more shocking than Su Chen’s fiancee transcending the ninth Nirvana Tribulation.

“Su Chen…He has already become a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse!” Elder Wan declared solemnly. Though softly spoken, his words crashed like thunder in the Heavenly Heart Holy Son’s mind. Stunned, the elder’s voice echoed.

Su Chen was now a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse…

“Su Chen broke through to Quasi-Saint…” he muttered dazedly.

Not long ago, he still hoped to catch up to Su Chen someday. Yet now, Su Chen had become a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse.

As such, Su Chen could now stand equal with the Holy Lords and Imperial Lords of the various holy lands. After all, many such figures remained in the Quasi-Saint Realm.

“That’s right!” Elder Wan gently nodded, continuing, “The Black Tortoise’s blood essence and egg are both in Su Chen’s hands. Yet he didn’t keep them. I heard he gave the blood essence to his fiancee, while the egg went to some devilish brat…”

“Well…” Hearing this, the Holy Son couldn’t help but sigh.

Both the Black Tortoise’s blood essence and egg were priceless treasures. Yet Su Chen simply gave them away. Undeniably, Su Chen’s mentality was truly grand.

“The Holy Lord is correct. I’m inferior to Su Chen in many respects,” mused the Holy Son. “Befriending him seems the only path now.”

Su Chen reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm alone quashed any notions of competing with him. They no longer stood on the same level. From now on, the divide between them would only grow. Soon, he wouldn’t even see Su Chen’s back..
