Chapter 291: True Loneliness

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The characters and the array on the black tortoise made it appear terrifying and possess strength that was not weaker than an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage great demon.

“Was the Qingyun Sect’s patriarch so powerful that he could create such a creature?”

Shen Taotao looked at the huge black tortoise slowly standing up under Lu Yuan’s feet, and the shock in her heart could not be any greater.

Because at this moment, she simply did not believe that a Core Formation Stage cultivator was in the present situation.

Not to mention anything else, just the aura displayed by the black tortoise was quite extraordinary even in the Upper Realm.

Shen Taotao could even sense the aura of a Worshipped Being from the black tortoise.

The so-called Worshipped Being title was actually a special kind of conferment belonging to the unique system of the Incense Dao.

To put it simply, if the black tortoise continued to grow and collect enough burned incense smoke, it was very likely that it would turn from an ordinary array-summoned creature into a real mountain god.

With the luck that the Qingyun Sect had shown, even if the mountain god’s strength was not at the Apotheosis Stage, it would definitely be at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Previously, the mysterious Qingyun Sect’s patriarch had relied on his own strength to defeat Xu Zile and Xu Ziyu’s combined forces. If the black tortoise in front of Fang Yu was included, the Qingyun Sect’s patriarch’s strength would be terrifying and would even exceed the limits of Shen Taotao’s imagination.

However, just as Shen Taotao finished speaking, Xu Ziyu raised a different point of view. “Taotao, this black tortoise… It doesn’t seem to have been forged by that mysterious patriarch.”

“All?”

Shen Taotao was stunned, and her brain was a little sluggish.

If it wasn’t forged by the mysterious patriarch, could it be…

The heavenly pride Shen Hongxuan finally spoke. “Using the Mountain River Medallion as the soul, the mountain as the bone, and the array and talisman as the flesh and blood, this method is really amazing. And I can see that this black tortoise is not the creation of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.”

Shen Hongxuan continued, “Although its design is very exquisite, it is indeed something that a Core Formation Stage cultivator can do. If a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had created the tortoise, it would be impossible for them to only use Core Formation Stage techniques. But no one will deliberately suppress their real strength in creating such a huge thing.”

Hearing that, the surrounding people also reacted.

Shen Taotao looked at her brother and said in disbelief, “So Hongxuan, you mean that this black tortoise is very likely to be made by Lu Yuan himself?”

Shen Hongxuan nodded solemnly. “Yes. All the signs at the moment indicate that this huge black tortoise is very likely to have been created by Lu Yuan alone. I even observed the situation of the entire Black Jade Peak’s array just now. Although I don’t know much about arrays, I can sense if these arrays contain Dharma Idol power. According to my observation, none of the arrays here have exceeded the limit of the Core Formation Stage.”

At that point, the result was already very obvious.

Lu Yuan was most likely relying on his own abilities to fight Fang Yu.

That result made everyone’s expression turn serious.

Originally, because of their identities as heavenly prides of the Upper Realm, they were still somewhat arrogant.

However, in front of Lu Yuan, their arrogance was not worth mentioning.

It was shocking that a Core Formation Stage cultivator like Lu Yuan could rely on his arrays to fight against a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator’s strength had been greatly suppressed.

Furthermore, they could all see that Lu Yuan did not exert his full strength.

After all, Lu Yuan’s current expression was really too calm.

He was so calm that it was as if everything was under his control.

As Lu Yuan mobilized the huge black tortoise under his feet, Fang Yu’s huge light circle immediately lost its effect.

The huge black tortoise stood up, and the characters and array on its body lit up at the same time.

Following that, a huge green barrier enveloped Lu Yuan.

Clang, clang, clang!

The dense sword rain hit the barrier and shattered, turning into countless light spots that scattered in the air, turning into real raindrops that fell on the ground.

When Fang Yu saw that, he gritted his teeth and no longer held back.

He had to admit that he had underestimated the Lower Realm cultivator in front of him.

At the moment, Fang Yu no longer had the thought of showing Lu Yuan his might. Fang Yu’s only thought was to defeat this powerful enemy in front of him.

“Roar!”

Fang Yu roared angrily as his body began to expand rapidly.

Before long, Fang Yu had transformed into a huge four-tailed ice fox that was nearly 100 meters in size.

As Fang Yu revealed his true Demon Clan form, a terrifying demonic aura immediately spread throughout the area.

The originally clear sky was now covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and a large amount of snowflakes drifted in the air.

The ground of Black Jade Peak was soon covered in a layer of snow.

At that moment, Lu Yuan also took the initiative to attack.

“Forward.”

Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, the black tortoise under Lu Yuan’s feet moved.

With just one step, the entire ground of Black Jade Peak began to shake violently.

Including the mountain on its back, the black tortoise’s overall height had reached about 150 meters.

It looked even more oppressive than Fang Yu’s four-tailed ice fox form.

Fang Yu, the four-tailed ice fox, looked at the black tortoise that was walking toward him and swung his four tails.

As the four tails flew, they transformed into four gigantic Profound Ice Swords.

Their target was Lu Yuan on the mysterious black tortoise.

In response, the mountain peak on the back of the black tortoise emitted light again.

Then, an even larger black tortoise barrier appeared beside it.

Boom!

After the four ice swords hit the barrier, they immediately let out a loud collision sound.

The barrier that had been able to withstand Fang Yu’s attack previously had a large number of cracks appearing on it after a single collision.

However, inside the black tortoise’s body, a huge bell was continuously providing energy to the Black Tortoise.

Therefore, even though the barrier was on the verge of collapse, it could still hold on.

Fang Yu did not expect his attack to be blocked.

His eyes turned red, and his attacks became even more violent.

The four tails kept hitting the barrier of the black tortoise, as if trying to break its shell.

That violent attack made everyone feel that Fang Yu had gotten the upper hand in the battle.

However, two people in the crowd frowned.

One was Shen Hongxuan, and the other was Xu Ziyu.

The former felt that something was wrong and felt that Lu Yuan’s was too calm.

The latter, on the other hand, felt that Lu Yuan should not only be capable of defense, because she had personally experienced Lu Yuan’s dense spiritual swords on Black Jade Peak.

Xu Ziyu knew that this mountain was actually an attack array formation.

And up until now, Lu Yuan had been passively defending, as if he was waiting for something.

Shen Hongxuan looked at the expressionless Lu Yuan standing on the top of the mysterious black tortoise. His intuition told him that Fang Yu was in danger.

However, if you asked him to point out exactly how Fang Yu was in danger, he would not be able to say it.

Just as Shen Hongxuan and Xu Ziyu were thinking about when Lu Yuan would launch his counterattack…

A scroll appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.

Everyone present was no stranger to the Mountain River Painting.

It could even be said that the Mountain River Painting was a relatively common true magic item in the Upper Realm.

However, Shen Hongxuan could sense an unsettling aura from the painting.

It was as if there was something terrifying sealed within the Mountain River Painting.

Generally speaking, the Mountain River Painting could be understood as a special Sacred Illusionary Realm.

It was a blessed grotto-heaven that could be carried around.

That was how most people used the Mountain River Painting.

However, it did not seem to be the case for Lu Yuan’s Mountain River Painting.

Lu Yuan looked at Fang Yu, who was attacking crazily in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

“You… Have you experienced true loneliness?”

Fang Yu was stunned, not understanding what Lu Yuan was talking about.

In the next second, the scene in front of Fang Yu changed.

It was a world of black and white, a world of deathly stillness.

At that moment, Fang Yu felt as if time had stopped. The only colored objects before his eyes were Lu Yuan and the Mountain River Painting in his hand….
