"If that is the case, then it is very likely that Qing Tian is looking for a physical body!"
Yun Shisan figured it out. He looked up at Black Tortoise and said, "Maybe it hasn't found a physical body yet. I want to go in. I need to erase the essences here, and then I will look for Qing Tian's physical body."
"You want to go in?"
Black Tortoise looked at Yun Shisan with a mocking look and said, "You can go in, but you have to defeat me!"
Yun Shisan was speechless. If he could avoid fighting, he wouldn't want to.
Even though it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill Black Tortoise with his current power, he was a lazy person.
He spread out his hands and said, "You see, you were born to seal Qing Tian, and I was born to destroy Qing Tian. We have the same goal, and that is to get rid of Qing Tian. Since we have the same goal, you should do me a favor and let me in. I don't even want to fight with you!"
Black Tortoise shook its giant head and said, "Even though we have the same goal, our methods are different. I was born to trap Qing Tian, but I have another goal, which is to prevent others from getting close and destroying the matrix!"
"Then you let us in. We didn't destroy the Octagon Heaven Lock. As long as the matrix is still there, those guardians that were killed can be recreated. Why do you have to make things difficult for us?"
"If you want to go in, then defeat me. If you can't defeat me, then you don't have the right to go in. If you can't even defeat me, then you will just be throwing your life away. If you want to go in, then you have to prove your strength!"
Black Tortoise still wouldn't give up. It wasn't that it was unreasonable. It was just that the matrix was created for it to exist. It was as if it was set up.
"You have a point!" Yun Shisan nodded. He couldn't refute it.
It probably couldn't open the gate. The only way to open the gate was to kill it and have its Spiritual Powers disperse again. Only then could the gate be opened.
"Then let's fight!"
Yun Shisan held the Invisible Dual Blade in his hand and stared at Black Tortoise. He said, "Then don't blame me for being rude. Wave Drawing!"
"Swish ~"
The Invisible Dual Blades were suddenly unsheathed. The Blade Aura flashed, creating a blue water curtain. The water curtain looked gentle, but it was actually surging violently.
Waves of water came one after another. Wherever the waves passed, all the water spiritual energy was swept away.
The Kan Gate was originally an ocean world. There were even more oceans than continents. Water spiritual energy was abundant. The small blade light instantly condensed into a surging wave.
The waves rolled larger and larger, vast and mighty, as if they wanted to destroy everything. They had long since lost their original gentleness and had become turbulent and majestic.
If water was good, it would benefit all living things. If it was evil, it would destroy heaven and earth. The wrath of water would engulf the world. Mountains and rivers would collapse and all living things would be plunged into misery and suffering.
The huge blade light quickly slashed towards the Black Tortoise, as if it was going to split it in half.
The Black Tortoise nodded and said, "Not bad, junior. Although you are not using your own strength, your saber intent is not bad. Playing with me is your biggest mistake!"
Yun Shisan said unconcernedly, "It's too early to say whether that's the case or not. Maybe you think you're infallible, but you don't know!"
"Then I'll let you see who is the master of playing with water. Flip the river!"
As soon as the Black Tortoise finished speaking, it slammed its huge feet on the ground. Instantly, the mountains and the earth shook.
"Boom ~"
Under one palm, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. Cracks as thick as an arm interweaved into a huge spider web on the ground.
The cracks were still expanding at a speed that was hard for the naked eye to catch. They kept on spreading, and in a flash, they had covered the entire land.
"Boom, boom …"
The cracks spread to the front of the carriage. Ji Xuanye and Mu Yuchen unleashed a surge of majestic Xuan Force to protect the carriage.
The others quickly took action as well, protecting the small piece of land around the carriage. Within 30 meters, it had become the most complete piece of land in this space.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Every crack had turned into a great river.
"Boom ~"
Waves of seawater poured in and surged violently in the great river. Every river was like a roaring dragon.
"Flip the sea ~"
As soon as the Black Tortoise's voice fell, roaring water dragons soared into the sky from the river. The angry dragons rushed toward Yun Shisan's sword light.
"Boom …"
The angry dragons crashed into the Wave Draw like eggs hitting a rock. However, the power of one water dragon might be limited, but what about thousands of them?
Countless water dragons pounced on the sword light one after another. However, the scattered water did not fall. Instead, it all gathered together and formed a sea of water in an instant.
The blue sea of water was like an upside-down ocean, rolling toward the sword light. It was turbulent and majestic, and it was shocking.
Looking at this scene, Yun Shisan shook his head and said, "Flip the river and overturn the sea. However, it's a little unreal. If my sword was just that simple, then you would have broken it. However, you're underestimating me too much!"
"Hmph ~"
The Black Tortoise snorted coldly. Its nostrils were like two huge wind pipes, spewing out two tornadoes. It said, "Anyone can talk big. Then let me see what's the secret behind it!"
Yun Shisan smiled but did not say anything. It seemed that the spiritual creatures born from the Octagonal Heaven Lock were not intelligent. They had spirituality but no wisdom. Otherwise, it would not have thought so.
This was also good. If it was a Black Tortoise with true wisdom, it would not be easy to deal with.
For a beast like this, which had spirituality but no intelligence, this saber strike should be enough to kill it.
"Break ~"
Yun Shisan murmured and sheathed his Qimen Blade. He most likely did not need to make a second move.
As expected, as soon as Yun Shisan's voice fell, the huge sword light instantly cut open the sea.
Yes, it was cut open. There were no splashes. This slash was like a gust of wind that gently cut the ocean into two halves.
After the huge sword light cut open the sea, it slashed toward the Black Tortoise.
"What?"
When the Black Tortoise saw the sword light growing larger in its eyes, it was shocked. In the next moment, it quickly retracted its huge head back into its turtle shell. Even its four huge turtle palms were retracted.
BAM!
The sword light landed on the huge turtle shell, causing the turtle shell to tremble. The sharp sword light enveloped the turtle shell.
"Crack, crack ~"
Everyone heard the sound of the tortoise shell cracking. It was the tortoise shell that had been cracked by this powerful saber. The cracks instantly destroyed all the patterns on the tortoise shell that were originally full of patterns.
Hum ~
The big stone tablet on the Black Tortoise's back trembled. In the next moment, an obscure power burst out and instantly expelled all the sword light from the Layer-On Slash.
When Yun Shisan saw this scene, his pupils shrank. He originally thought that this slash would end the Black Tortoise's life. He did not expect that at this critical moment, the big stone tablet would come out and cause trouble.
"What kind of power is this?
It is ancient, vast, and heavy. Yet, it has an even more ancient and immortal charm. This power … "
Yun Shisan could only feel that this power was extremely mysterious. He felt that he was like a lowly ant under this power. This power gave off a very heavy feeling.
Ji Xuanye reminded him, "Shisan, be careful. I can feel that this power has surpassed time and space. It is very mysterious and vast. Be careful. This power is not ordinary. I seem to have seen something like this before, but I can't remember where."
"This is the power of history!"
Mu Yuchen said, "I remember now. The Black Tortoise carries a stone tablet. I have seen something like this before. It is said that the Four Sacred Beasts of the Immemorial Era each have their own roles. The first Black Tortoise roamed the river of history.
The Black Tortoise suppressed the river of history and the past. The stone tablet on its back recorded the history of civilization.
Rumor has it that the Black Tortoise's speed was very fast. In an instant, it could travel through space and travel through thousands of worlds.
However, the Black Tortoise disappeared after becoming a sacred beast. Rumor has it that it entered the river of time to suppress the past and carry the civilization of the past. Because of this, the Black Tortoise's speed became very slow. "
Lan Yunting furrowed her brows and said, "The power of history, and it's not just the power of history, but also the civilization of the past. The river of history is long, who knows how strong this power is? This is going to be troublesome."
After hearing everyone's words, Yun Shisan nonchalantly said, "You guys protect Beautiful Silk. I will deal with it. If one slash isn't enough, then two slashes. This is not the real Black Tortoise!"
This was only the Octagon Heaven Lock. It was derived from the traces left behind in the world. Not only was the Black Tortoise like this, but this stone tablet was also not the one that carried the history. It was only a strand of aura left behind in the world.
There was nothing to worry about. He could break the entire Octagon Heaven Lock by himself. The power of half a small world was not to be trifled with. If it could break the Octagon Heaven Lock, then what was there to fear about a strand of the Black Tortoise's spirit that was born from the Octagon Heaven Lock?
"Brat, that slash is quite something. It almost killed me!"
At some point in time, the Black Tortoise's head had poked out from under its shell.
The Black Tortoise's injuries had been healed by the majestic spirit energy. It was not a real creature to begin with. It was condensed from spirit energy and derived from the formation. As long as there was spirit energy, no matter how serious the injuries were, they could be healed unless it was destroyed.
Yun Shisan flicked the Invisible Dual Blade and said with a smile, "It really surprised me. I didn't think that your stone tablet would have such a great origin. However, I am curious. Is the main body of this stone tablet really carrying the history?"
"You know what kind of existence I am. I don't know the specifics, but what is recorded on it is indeed history and civilization. The main body of this stone tablet is much larger than this one. That's all I know. If you have the chance to meet it in the future, you can learn more about it!"
The Black Tortoise suffered a loss, but it was not angry. It seemed that it was not a real creature. It did not even have emotions. Instead, it admired Yun Shisan.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely go take a look!"
Although that was what he said, he did not know how long it would take. If he wanted to see the real Black Tortoise, he would have to travel through the long river of history. At the very least, he would have to comprehend the laws of time and space. That was too far away from him.
The Black Tortoise nodded and said with a rumbling voice, "You also have the strength to enter. However, you know that if you don't kill me, there will be no exit. If you want to enter, you will have to kill me. I will not hold back."
