The giant turtle in front of him was as large as a hundred zhang, with a sturdy and ancient shell. As it stepped through the waves, it was like a small mountain, full of oppressive presence. Although Ning Qi had never seen a Martial Saint, he was absolutely certain that this was a Martial Saint-level giant turtle.
Ning Qi’s expression imdiately turned grave.
To be honest, this was beyond his expectations.
According to the power increase of each previous trial, he originally thought that the final opponent would be soone on the level of the Demon Sect Grand Elder after using the Yu King Pearl. Considering the previous trial where the Small True Martial Seal’s difficulty spiked, he was already prepared to face a Fake Saint.
But unexpectedly.
It was actually a true Martial Saint-level giant turtle that appeared!
The spiritual power fluctuations surrounding it were undoubtedly genuine, with an endless vitality, completely different from the Fake Saints Taoist Bai Shan had described before.
He scrutinized the giant turtle before him. There was a trace of coldness in its eyes, unlike those puppet-like giant turtles from before. It was obviously more intelligent, and for so reason, Ning Qi felt as though the turtle’s gaze harbored ill intentions towards him.
He took a deep breath, his entire being fully alert.
This opponent was overwhelmingly powerful, requiring his full effort, and even then, Ning Qi had no guarantee of victory. After all, he had previously attempted and failed to utilize the power of the Yu King Pearl in this trial.
"For a Martial Artist in the Celestial Human Realm to defeat a true Martial Saint? It’s surely impossible for anyone in this world to achieve. The True Martial Heritage might indeed be lost forever," Ning Qi mused silently.
He couldn’t believe anyone else could achieve this feat, not even those so-called Ancient Saints; there wouldn’t be the slightest hope.
Only those who understand the divide between the Celestial Human Realm and the Martial Saint Realm would know how vast it is.
However.
Unknowingly.
Fighting spirit gradually ignited in Ning Qi’s eyes.
An opponent like this was hard to find.
"Co, let’s see where my limits lie!"
The Martial Saint giant turtle seed to sense Ning Qi’s fighting spirit, and disdain flickered in its eyes. It roared deeply, its voice shaking the ocean, and columns of water shot into the sky like frenzied dragons, aiming to annihilate Ning Qi. These simple water columns, enhanced by spiritual power, were overwhelmingly powerful, able to instantly kill the top ten on the Celestial Being List.
It sat in the air like a rock that could calm the sea, watching Ning Qi with amusent.
Ning Qi’s hands moved rapidly.
His Divine Intent surged, and for the first ti, he went all out.
The imnse Power of Heaven and Earth gathered around him. Though not as refined as spiritual power, its magnitude was awe-inspiring, conjuring an ancient seal that pressed forward, even causing the air to stagnate.
Ning Qi utilized the newly learned Small True Martial Seal, having gained further insights from previous battles, now wielding it with greater efficacy to suppress the void.
The sea dragons were shattered by the suppressive force, but the ancient seal seed on the verge of collapse.
The turtle’s eyes, once filled with mockery, now showed a hint of astonishnt.
Ning Qi, always observant, quickly realized why he used the Small True Martial Seal first: to test the waters.
"This giant turtle can evidently recognize the Small True Martial Seal, unlike before. Could it be that the others were its projections or creations? Did I inadvertently anger it by crushing those giant turtles in haste?"
In that mont, Ning Qi seed to understand.
He couldn’t help but bitterly smile; this was truly a disaster uncalled for.
But there was no use in regretting now.
The giant turtle’s body trembled, and the previously scattered water columns rged into a ferocious sea dragon, pouncing at Ning Qi with unmatched strength. It was far mightier than those so-called Beast Kings, tearing space as it ca, forcing Ning Qi to concentrate fully.
Decisively, Ning Qi acted.
The Three Flowers gathered at the top, the Bridge of Celestial Being activated, drawing in a vast amount of Power of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the Three Flowers began to vibrate at a special frequency, acting like a purifier, making the celestial power even more resilient and stronger.
This was the result of recent experints with the Blade Demon.
An unexpected byproduct of studying the Martial Saint Technique.
Equally effective in combat.
Celestial Swords gathered, imbued with an unmatched sharpness; Ning Qi’s Sword Intent constantly grew, paralleling the increasing power of the Heavenly Sword Technique.
The turtle’s eyes were now filled with surprise.
In the blink of an eye.
The Celestial Swords filled the sky like stars.
A hundred!
A thousand!
Ten thousand!
The Celestial Swords traversed the sky, their unmatched sharpness interweaving, and the passive Sword Qi ford a Senluo Sword Net. Subtle rends appeared in the void, and compared to the previous battle with the Demon Sect Grand Elder, Ning Qi’s cultivation had reached Celestial Being Perfection, with many secret techniques further advanced, boosting his combat power beyond recognition.
The turtle no longer showed any trace of derision.
The sea dragon roared, raising massive waves that crashed down, their oppressive force striking at the soul.
But Ning Qi’s thoughts moved as countless Celestial Swords split into hundreds of Sword Qi, forming a fearso web of a million dense Sword Qi, each drawing on one another for strength.
The void was sliced to pieces.
The giant waves were completely pulverized by the Sword Qi, and even as the Sword Qi continued to adapt, the once-roaring sea dragon was trapped. Despite the powerful spiritual power within threatening to obliterate the Sword Qi, there were simply too many, gradually wearing the dragon down.
