Chapter 241: Battle, Turtle Spirit Master's Soul Body
He waved his hand, and the flame seemed to have life, surging against the wind and instantly becoming enormous. The shape of the flame gradually condensed and turned into a giant turtle, with sharp fire spikes all over its body, and fangs like blades in its ferocious mouth. The whole body was dark brown, revealing an ancient and wild power.
This giant turtle made of flames slowly rotated in mid-air, each of its flames flashing dangerous light, as if ready to launch a fatal attack on the enemy at any time. In the eyes of the giant turtle, two balls of flames burned fiercely, revealing a wild frenzy and desire for battle.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the giant turtle formed by the dark brown flames, his eyes flashing with an excitement that could not be concealed. This giant turtle was transformed by the strange fire, and its shape was extremely realistic, almost the same as a real giant turtle. Every detail revealed its unique power and heat, truly living up to the name of "Turtle Spirit Earth Fire".
He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "This is the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire ranked 13th on the Strange Fire List. It is indeed extraordinary. I wonder to what level my cultivation will be able to rise after swallowing it."
Just as Xiao Ling was immersed in his admiration for the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, the "Turtle Spirit Venerable" on the opposite side had already begun to act.
As he waved his hand, the giant turtle formed by flames seemed to be given life. Its limbs suddenly stepped on the void, and it rushed towards Xiao Ling at a rapid speed with a scorching storm.
The giant turtle's movements were swift and powerful. Every step it took caused the ground of the bronze hall to tremble slightly. Flames bloomed under its feet like blooming flowers of hell.
There were dark brown flames flickering in its eyes, and the flames seemed to contain endless violent power, as if they could burn all obstacles to ashes.
Xiao Ling quickly came back to his senses from his admiration. Facing this sudden attack, he was not panicked at all. He squatted slightly, holding the Meteoric Divine Weapon tightly with both hands, and the fighting spirit in his body was concentrated to the extreme at this moment. The light on the Meteoric Divine Weapon became brighter and brighter, as if responding to the master's fighting spirit, preparing for the upcoming attack.
With a deafening roar, the giant turtle opened its huge mouth full of blade-like fangs, and a dark brown flame gushed out of its mouth, forming a torrent of flames that rushed straight towards Xiao Ling.
Wherever the torrent of flames passed, the air made a sharp whistling sound, and it seemed that even the space was about to be melted by the high temperature.
Xiao Ling's eyes were determined. Facing this raging torrent of flames, he did not retreat but advanced instead. His figure flashed and he rushed forward at an astonishing speed.
His eyes flashed, and his soul power gushed out, like invisible tentacles wrapped around the Falling Divine Weapon. Under his control, the divine weapon showed amazing changes.
In an instant, the Meteorite Weapon seemed to have life. It began to split and reorganize in the void, turning into countless tiny fragments.
These fragments quickly gathered in front of Xiao Ling. They rotated and intertwined in mid-air to form a huge shield.
Mysterious and complex patterns flow on the surface of the shield, and each pattern emits a faint light, like stars twinkling in the night sky, forming an indestructible defense.
With a roar that shook the heavens, the torrent of flames spewed out by the giant turtle finally arrived. It was a dark brown wave of fire, with a temperature high enough to melt gold and iron, violently impacting the newly formed shield.
The moment the flames came into contact with the shield, the entire hall was illuminated in a dark brown color. The high temperature of the flames caused the air to begin to distort and deform, making a sharp whistling sound. However, the shield that was formed by the split and reorganized Meteoric Divine Weapon was like an insurmountable barrier, steadily blocking the violent flames.
The patterns on the shield flashed even brighter under the impact of the flames, as if they were absorbing the power of the flames and converting it into their own defense.
Xiao Ling stood behind the shield with a calm expression. He could clearly feel the close connection between the Meteorite Weapon and his soul. Every vibration and every flow of energy was under his control.
The torrent of flames continued to hit the shield, but it could never break through this solid line of defense. The giant turtle seemed to be surprised, and the flames in its eyes became more intense, but Xiao Ling was ready to fight back.
As the wave of fire gradually dissipated, the shield suddenly made a crisp sound, and then those tiny particles began to peel off the shield. Under Xiao Ling's command, they quickly reorganized and returned to their original spear form.
Xiao Ling held the newly condensed Meteorite Weapon tightly in his right hand and gently waved his left hand. The "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame" formed by the fusion of four strange fires in his body burst out.
As soon as this strange fire appeared, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped, as if even the heat of the flame was absorbed and condensed by it. The power it exuded was even stronger than the turtle spirit earth fire on the opposite side.
Under Xiao Ling's control, the "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame" turned into a giant flaming python, its body dancing flexibly in the air, and pounced straight towards the giant turtle transformed by the "Turtle Spirit Earth Fire", fighting with it.
The giant fire python wrapped around the giant turtle at lightning speed, and the two started a fierce fight in mid-air.
Since the quality of "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame" is higher than that of "Turtle Spirit Earth Fire", even though Xiao Ling's cultivation is not as good as that of "Turtle Spirit Venerable", his offensive has firmly suppressed the opponent.
The power of the fire python is strong and overbearing. Every time it circles and strangles, the giant turtle's flames are dimmed.
The giant turtle was not willing to be outdone. Its flaming body was still struggling hard under the suppression of the Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame, trying to break free. Its limbs were waving, and its flaming fangs were biting fiercely, and it started a contest with the flaming python.
Not long after, the giant turtle began to show signs of weakness under the fierce attack of the flaming python transformed by the "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame". Its flames were no longer strong, and after each collision with the flaming python, it seemed to become more sluggish, and the flames flickered, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Xiao Ling's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he keenly caught the giant turtle's weakness. He knew that the time was ripe. As his mind moved, the power of the "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame" became more concentrated, and the body of the flaming giant python drew a series of mysterious trajectories in the air, wrapping the giant turtle tighter, and the strangling force became stronger.
The giant turtle let out a low and painful roar, and the struggle of its limbs gradually weakened, and the flame fangs no longer posed the same threat as before. Finally, in an outburst of power, the "Four Spirits Burning Heaven Flame" completely suppressed the giant turtle, making it unable to launch an effective counterattack.
The "Turtle Spirit Venerable" seemed to realize the disadvantage of the situation, and the dark brown flames in the empty eye sockets jumped, as if he had made a decision. With a slight wave of his hand, the giant turtle's flaming body began to slowly dissipate, turning into dark brown flames, and was taken back into the palm of the "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
As the giant turtle's flame was retracted, the temperature in the hall dropped slightly, but the tense atmosphere did not ease.
After "Turtle Spirit Venerable" took back the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, the dark brown flames in his empty eye sockets suddenly became unusually active, as if brewing an even more powerful attack.
Xiao Ling planned to press on while the victory was won. With a flash of lightning under his feet, he used Three Thousand Thunders. His figure moved quickly in the hall like a phantom, approaching the direction of "Reverend Turtle Spirit".
"Reverend Turtle Spirit" did not give Xiao Ling too much time to think. As he slowly raised his hands, wisps of dark brown flames began to appear in the air in the hall.
These flames seemed to have life. They slowly gathered together and gradually formed a huge vortex of fire, surrounding "Turtle Spirit Venerable" in the center.
The flames in the vortex became more and more intense, the temperature continued to rise, and even the space began to show signs of distortion.
Such a change forced me to stop approaching him.
At this time, the "Turtle Spirit Venerable" slowly spoke, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice: "Young cultivator, you have proven your strength, but to inherit the Turtle Spirit Earth Fire, you need to show more potential."
As soon as he finished speaking, "Reverend Turtle Spirit" pushed with both hands violently, and the huge vortex of fire began to rotate faster. Then, flames shot towards Xiao Ling like arrows.
Xiao Ling's figure flashed, with the Falling God Weapon in his hand, his fighting spirit and soul power gathered again, forming a series of defensive light curtains. At the same time, the "Four Spirits Burning Heaven Flame" in his body also began to respond, preparing for a new round of offensive.
The flaming arrows collided with Xiao Ling's defensive light curtain, and bursts of strong energy fluctuations erupted. Xiao Ling's body shape kept changing, and he swung the meteorite weapon to repel the flaming arrows one after another. However, he could clearly feel that the attack of "Turtle Spirit Venerable" this time was more powerful than before. After continuously resisting dozens of flaming arrows from "Turtle Spirit Venerable", Xiao Ling realized that although the opponent had a deep cultivation, he seemed to lack some experience in flexible response in actual combat, and his perception was also very weak.
His soul perception spread out and quickly captured the subtle flaws in the attack of "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
Xiao Ling's eyes flashed, and he had made up his mind. The fighting spirit in his body surged, spinning and accelerating along a strange path, which was a sign of the fatal blow he was brewing.
The Falling Divine Weapon began to emit an even brighter light, as if resonating with the fighting spirit in his body, and the power gathered on the tip of the gun became increasingly powerful.
Xiao Ling's figure suddenly shook, and he moved quickly in the hall like a phantom. Every flash made it difficult for "Venerable Turtle Spirit" to grasp his position.
He used the Three Thousand Thunder Movements to skillfully avoid the violent fire attack of "Turtle Spirit Venerable". While dodging, his sharp eyes kept looking for the opponent's weaknesses, silently calculating the best time to attack.
With every breath, Xiao Ling's fighting spirit surged like a tide, and he felt his strength rising until it reached a peak. He knew that the moment to decide the outcome had arrived.
Just as the attention of "Turtle Spirit Venerable" was drawn by Xiao Ling's rapid movement, Xiao Ling's figure suddenly disappeared from the other party's sight. He took advantage of this moment of disappearance and quietly moved behind "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
Before the "Turtle Spirit Venerable" could react, Xiao Ling had already condensed the power of space on the spear tip of the Meteorite Divine Weapon. The "Four Spirits Burning Sky Flame" spun and condensed on the spear tip, eventually forming nine flame shadow spears, each of which contained the power to tear apart space. They spun around the spear tip of the Meteorite Divine Weapon, like nine fire dragons, ready to pounce on the target at any time.
Xiao Ling shook his wrist violently, and under the control of his soul power, nine flame shadow guns burst out instantly. They cut through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and pointed directly at the vital points of "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
Each shadow spear carries the destructive power of space rifts, as if it can cut into pieces everything that stands in their way.
The entire hall was shaken by this powerful force, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo exchanged glances, and their approval for each other was evident in their words.
They could also see that although "Reverend Turtle Spirit" possessed extraordinary strength, he seemed a little unfamiliar with actual combat experience.
However, even so, Xiao Ling was still able to gain the upper hand without relying on any secret methods to enhance himself, which was enough to prove that his actual combat ability far exceeded that of his opponents of the same level.
The three women stared at the battlefield nervously. Their breathing was almost synchronized with Xiao Ling's every attack, and their heartbeats rose and fell accordingly.
Facing Xiao Ling's sudden and fierce attack, "Turtle Spirit Venerable" seemed to feel a little pressure. The dark brown flames burning in the empty eye sockets were beating more violently at this moment, as if expressing the turmoil in his heart.
He hastily raised his hands and quickly created a fire barrier in front of him, trying to block Xiao Ling's fierce attack like a rainstorm.
Xiao Ling's nine flaming shadow spears, like nine roaring fire dragons, whizzed in from different directions, each carrying enough power to tear apart space.
They attacked "Turtle Spirit Venerable" with lightning speed, their momentum was unstoppable.
The flame barrier hastily created by "Turtle Spirit Venerable" was shattered in an instant like fragile glass under Xiao Ling's attack. The fragments of the barrier flew everywhere under the huge impact force, but the nine flame shadow guns did not stop at all and continued to bombard the body of "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
The attack came in an instant, hitting the body of "Turtle Spirit Venerable". Every impact was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the roar of this power echoed throughout the hall.
The waves of flames and energy surged in the air, forming violent storms that swept across the entire space. The space inside the hall began to tremble under this force, as if it was about to collapse.
Thick smoke slowly filled the hall, like rolling clouds, obscuring everyone's vision. The air was filled with the scorching heat and the fierce atmosphere of battle.
As the roar of the explosion gradually dissipated, everyone's eyes pierced through the thick smoke and looked curiously in the direction of the explosion, trying to catch a glimpse of the figure of "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
Xiao Ling steadied his body, his eyes flashing with vigilance, holding the Meteorite Weapon across his chest, ready to deal with possible further attacks.
Even though his attack just now was powerful, the body of "Turtle Spirit Venerable" was a genuine Dou Zun when he was alive. It was impossible for him to be defeated so easily. Otherwise, in order not to damage the body, Xiao Ling would not dare to use such a heavy hand.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo also showed solemn expressions in their eyes. They stared closely at the movements in the thick smoke, ready to provide support at any time.
The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of "Turtle Spirit Venerable". He was still standing in the same place, but his aura was obviously weakened, and the dark brown flames in his empty eye sockets were no longer so strong.
On his body, nine marks left by the flame shadow gun were clearly visible, and each one was deeply engraved into his body.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on "Turtle Spirit Venerable". Although the opponent was seriously injured, he had not completely lost his fighting ability, and the battle was far from over. He took a deep breath and began to gather all his fighting spirit, preparing to launch a new round of offensive.
In Xiao Ling's body, the fighting spirit was like a rolling torrent, running rapidly along a specific path, and each cycle made the power more concentrated. The air around his body began to vibrate, forming tiny vortices, which was a sign of a highly concentrated fighting spirit.
The Meteorite Weapon trembled slightly in his hand, as if it resonated with the fighting spirit in his body. The light on the tip of the gun became brighter and brighter, like the brightest star in the night sky, foreshadowing the impending thunderous blow.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, "Turtle Spirit Venerable" did not continue to attack, but slowly relaxed his offensive. His hands slowly dropped, and the vortex of fire that originally surrounded him began to gradually weaken, and finally dissipated into the air like morning mist meeting the sun.
This sudden change surprised everyone present. Xiao Ling's grip on the Meteoric Divine Weapon relaxed slightly, but his eyes remained alert.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes, but at the same time they were also curious about the action of "Reverend Turtle Spirit".
The atmosphere in the entire hall changed from tense to one of silent waiting. Everyone was watching the next move of "Reverend Turtle Spirit", wanting to know what this senior was planning.
Just as everyone was holding their breath, suddenly, a few strands of soft white light floated out of the body of "Turtle Spirit Venerable". These rays of light rose lightly and gradually gathered above him, forming an illusory soul body.
Although this soul body was condensed, it exuded an extremely weak aura, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could be extinguished in the breeze at any time. Despite this, its existence still carried an indescribable majesty that made people feel awe.
Everyone followed the soul closely, and saw that its face was exactly the same as the sculpture in the hall, profound and solemn, and every wrinkle revealed the traces of time and endless wisdom. Obviously, this was the soul of "Turtle Spirit Venerable", and although its power was gone, its spirit was still tenacious.
Yao Chen and Yao Tianhuo's eyes flashed with surprise. They obviously did not expect to see such a scene. The three women looked at each other. They were both worried and curious about the sudden appearance of the soul experience of "Turtle Spirit Venerable".
