Immortal Path to Heaven c1-725

by Heaven's White Crane

  This time, its turn was finally here.

  Multi-armed King Kong only had one goal at the moment; it was determined to render a commendable service in this fight and would not let anyone steal its limelight!

  It extended its enormous arm into the water, then it grabbed the giant turtle’s hind legs unreasonably. Following that, it roared and lifted the turtle out of the water.

  The giant turtle’s size was considerable, but as compared to Multi-armed King Kong, it was akin to a cute little tortoise on a normal human’s hand. They were Heaven and Earth apart in terms of build and power.

  “Woosh…”

  Multi-armed King Kong conveniently swung its hand and hurled the giant turtle out of the sea to the shore.

  The goshawk’s body swayed as well. It let go of the turtle’s back at once, then it glared at the king kong and denounced it, “Are you mad? Didn’t you see me here?”

  “I didn’t, so take note of it yourself!” Multi-armed King Kong opened its big mouth and responded.

  Furious, the goshawk spread its extensive wings and flapped them at Multi-armed King Kong, causing impactful wing blades to be formed and hit the king kong hard. The wind blades were mighty and forceful, which could not be compared with the ones generated by Ni Yinghong.

  That said, Multi-armed King Kong did not bother about the wind blades at all; it turned around and ran toward the turtle. The wind blades that struck it could not block its path, and they did not leave any wounds on its body too. No, the wind blades were still somewhat useful. The king kong lost some fur when the blades swept past it, by which its fur drifted slowly and fell on the sea.

  Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei exchanged glances and had the same thought.

  ‘If we weren’t fighting the giant turtle but this fearsome Multi-armed King Kong, what should we do?’

  No matter how they racked their brains, they could not come up with a way to resist the spirit beast at all. A humongous beast like Multi-armed King Kong had exceeded their manageable scope, so they would be courting death if they went against a beast like that.

  Multi-armed King Kong walked as if it was on wings, where it took unbelievably big strides. It arrived beneath the giant turtle before the turtle landed, then it extended its arms into the air to grab two of the spirit turtle’s thick legs.

  “No…” The giant turtle opened its mouth and only managed to utter a word before its body involuntarily flew into the sky again.

  The king kong laughed out loud. It became like an addicted child as it grasped the giant turtle’s legs and tossed it into the sky time after time. The turtle eventually learned from the experience, hence it shrunk its legs and head into its shell even when it had become dizzy.

  Nonetheless, Multi-armed King Kong’s characteristics as a wild child were fully unleashed. By using all 8 of its arms alternately, it treated the giant turtle as if it was an oval ball, causing the turtle to turn over and over again in mid-air without letting it land on the ground.

  Ou Yangming watched for some time. He was not involved at all, but he also felt like he was becoming dizzy.

  As for Hong Feiyu, he turned pale long ago. He decided to follow Ou Yangming because he was defeated by the young fellow and Big Yellow, which was also when he realized there was a huge disparity between them. Nevertheless, Hong Feiyu initially thought the big yellow dog was already an exceptionally powerful spirit beast, but he finally realized that the towering beast was Ou Yangming’s real trump card. He was glad that instead of trying to flaunt his superiority, he recognized the young fellow obediently.

  If that was not the case, the giant turtle would not be the one rolling in the sky, but him.

  Ou Yangming shook his head and noted all of a sudden, “King Kong, that’s enough.”

  The king kong was slightly dumbfounded. It had not had enough, but it dared not disobey Ou Yangming. As such, it clutched the giant turtle with all 8 of its arms and handed it to the young fellow.

  While the giant turtle was also a spirit beast, it startled, frightened, and vexed after being tormented by Multi-armed King Kong for such a long time. In fact, the turtle almost passed out.

  When it finally landed and wanted to make a move, a gigantic furry leg stepped on its body and almost covered it fully.

  “Little fella, you better not play any tricks, or I’ll stomp you to your death!” Multi-armed King Kong lowered its head and grinned sinisterly.

  The giant turtle desperately shrunk its neck into its shell and dared not resist at all.

  Ou Yangming shook his head. He did not agree with the king kong’s method but being fierce could usually be unexpectedly beneficial.

  “Are you the spirit beast sent by the Aquatics this time? How many of you are here?” Ou Yangming questioned in a deep voice.

  The giant turtle did not want to answer him at first, but it immediately sensed the heavy pressure on its shell.

  It no longer tried to be reserved and answered, “One! Only one!”

  At the same time, it was also confused. ‘Haven’t we been sending only one spirit beast for generations? Why did this human ask me such a question when he already knows the answer…’

  Chapter 506 - A Mascot

  Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘Looks like apart from the Insects, the other races only sent one spirit beast during the interspatial disorder.’

  His heart somehow tensed up at that thought. Given that 3 spirit beasts from the Insects showed up one after another and were followed by a Sky-devouring Devil God’s follower, which obviously colluded with the Insects, they were being unbelievably generous this time.

  Although Ou Yangming settled the spirit beasts and the follower, he did not believe that the powerhouses hidden in the upper realm would leave this matter at that. Nobody knew what they would set up soon. All in all, it did not make him feel happy that those powerhouses and troubles were always thinking about him.

  “Why did you set up a formation map here?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought. He stared at the giant turtle with bright eyes.

  After coming to the upper realm, the giant turtle had attacked Canghai City several times but seemed quite half-hearted overall. Not to mention being compared with the Insects’ scheme, it was also far from the spirit beasts sent by the Beasts and the Birds.

  Moreover, the giant turtle had intentionally set up the Aquatics Formation far from Canghai City, hence Ou Yangming was puzzled by its strange move.

  The giant turtle grunted and answered, “Honorable powerhouse, I don’t intend to harm the Humans at all; I only want to sleep here…”

  ‘Sleep?’

  Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. ‘You can lie to a ghost!’

  He scoffed coldly. “You don’t intend to harm the Humans? Heh, Brother Hong, was it not this fella you encountered when you previously went against the Aquatics?”

  Hong Feiyu immediately answered, “Brother Ou, it’s definitely this spirit turtle; I’ll never forget it.”

  He had oddly come to this realm from the upper realm and even became Canghai City’s guardian. After fighting the Aquatics’ spirit turtle several times, he would not be confused by its aura at all.

  The giant turtle revealed a bit of its shoulders and explained, “Human powerhouse, I’m only carrying out my task, but I don’t mean to invade the city at all. I always go back to sleep after an hour, and I didn’t cause substantial damage to the Humans…”

  Hong Feiyu was hesitant. Even though he was rather embarrassed by the spirit turtle’s words, he dared not hide anything or exaggerate the matter when he saw the questioning look on Ou Yangming’s face.

  Based on the ability displayed by the spirit turtle during its standoff with the goshawk earlier, it not only possessed remarkable physical powers, but it was also extremely familiar with the water-mastery spell. Even so, the turtle never employed the spell when it fought Hong Feiyu, Ni Yinghong, and Jiang Jiumei. In a way, it had been resisting its opponents with sheer physical powers. If it actually went all-out
, nobody could guarantee that Canghai City would be safe.

  “Why are you doing this?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows.

  The giant turtle answered without any delay, “I only came to the lower realm to get more sleep, so as long as I complete my task, I’ll have nothing to do with anything!”

  Ou Yangming, Ni Yinghong, and the others looked at each other and noticed how equally puzzled they were.

  “What task?”

  “Give my all to attack the Humans within a decade and eliminate the Humans along the coastal area if I can.” The giant turtle shrunk its neck as though it was afraid that Ou Yangming—the human boss—would be mad. This was because it could tell that while the auras of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were the greatest among these powerhouses, the seemingly insignificant human cultivator was the one in charge.

  Ou Yangming did not find the turtle’s answer strange because Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk received similar orders when they descended to the lower realm.

  If they had not encountered Ou Yangming, they would have gone on killing sprees already. Nevertheless, both the king kong and the goshawk carried out their tasks diligently, whereas the giant turtle might really be idling on the job…

  “You—why aren’t you doing it?” Ou Yangming raised another question.

  The giant turtle widened its eyes and answered, “Why should I do something so tiring? It’s not as comfortable as sleeping!”

  Ou Yangming and the others looked at each other. If they had not heard this themselves, they would not believe that they encountered such a lazy fellow.

  They would not believe it if another spirit beast said it, but they were convinced because it came from the lazy spirit turtle.

  “Since you set up a formation on this beach, are you planning to occupy this land for a long time?” Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and asked.

  “This is a great place to sleep, and I only set up a formation that’ll prevent me from getting disturbed and will help me to sleep; I don’t plan to take up this place for a long time,” the giant turtle answered carefully.

  Ni Yinghong asked abruptly, “How long do you plan to stay?”

  “I can stay in this realm for a century. As long as I get past a century, I’ll be able to sleep here for the remaining time!” The giant turtles answered after some thought. Its eyes gleamed as if it was immersed in an incredibly joyful dream and could not extricate itself.

  Ou Yangming looked at the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong because he wanted to distinguish the validity of the giant turtle’s words.

  Multi-armed King Kong stated after a brief moment, “Master, the Turtles are indeed known for being lazy. The Aquatics sent a spirit turtle, which is even the laziest fella, to the lower realm… I don’t know what they’re thinking.”

  The spirit turtle glanced with fear at the king kong but thought, ‘I’m not the laziest; you haven’t seen those that are lazier than me…’

  Nonetheless, its body was still under the king kong’s foot. When it sensed the enormous pressure, which could crush it at any time, it dared not say a word.

  Ou Yangming pondered and questioned, “Are you planning to occupy this land for a century?”

  “Yes, yes.” The spirit turtle quickly nodded. “Only for a century—nothing more than that.”

  “Since you already came to the lower realm, could it be that you have a way to go back?” Ou Yangming sneered.

  “Of course,” the spirit turtle responded without any hesitation, “The passage to the upper realm will naturally be opened after a century. They’ll send another spirit beast here, and I’ll be able to return by the way I came.”

  Seeing how it answered so naturally, it did not seem like it was lying at all.

  Ou Yangming cast a questioning look at Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk.

  “Master, it’s true that the passage is opened once every century, but we can’t live through a century if we stay here without doing anything.” Multi-armed King Kong smiled bitterly and pointed at the sky. It was evident that it meant the Heavenly Thunderbolts would have killed them within a century.

  “You’re so afraid of the Heavenly Thunderbolts, but why is this fella so confident?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows.

  “Master, it’s planning to sleep for a century!” The goshawk shrieked and sounded like it was wronged.

  “Can one dodge the Heavenly Thunderbolts by sleeping?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.

  “Spirit turtles are known as the laziest creatures in the world, and they have lives so long that their cultivation bases will naturally improve even if they keep sleeping. As for the Heavenly Thunderbolts…” The goshawk glared at the spirit turtle then sighed. “Not to mention spirit turtles, even Multi-armed King Kong and me can avoid being spotted by the Heavenly Thunderbolts if we’re sealed.”

  Ou Yangming nodded. He understood the difference between being sealed and sleeping, but he also understood what the goshawk meant.

  ‘I suppose the effect of sleep for spirit turtles is probably not much inferior to the effect of being sealed.’

  “Master, how should we settle this fella?” Multi-armed King Kong’s rumbling voice was heard.

  The spirit turtle instantly shouted, “Human powerhouse, I didn’t harm the Humans, so please forgive my recklessness and allow me to apologize to you!”

  Ou Yangming scoffed. At the spur of the moment, the little red bird’s voice was heard in his head. “The Turtles are known to stand aloof from worldly affairs. Besides, killing a spirit turtle is a bad omen, so are you sure you want to kill it?”

  The young fellow was struck dumb, and he looked at the little red bird. It seemed to be the little red bird’s first time giving him a suggestion.

  Having said that, it was exactly the reason Ou Yangming attached special attention to it.

  “Lil’ Red, what do you think we should do? I won’t be at ease if I let it stay here in seclusion. Can we send it back?” Ou Yangming asked the little bird through his conception.

  “It’s easy—keep it and set it free once you return to the upper realm.” The little red bird did not object to his idea. “The interspatial band that I gave you can be used to keep living things, so let it sleep inside.”

  Ou Yangming touched his wrist. He would not be confident about doing this before he was given the Long Feather Band but now, the vast space inside the band could even accommodate Multi-armed King Kong, let alone a spirit turtle.

  He flashed to the front of the spirit turtle and said sternly, “Since you don’t want to harm the Humans, go back.”

  The spirit turtle was startled. ‘Human powerhouse, I can’t return to the upper realm now!”

  “Let me worry about that,” Ou Yangming noted as he reached out his hand, then he continued after a pause, “When the time is right, I’ll bring you up.”

  “Are you asking me to acknowledge you as my master? I don’t mind, so as long as you can guarantee my sleeping time, I’ll agree to do that.” The giant turtle blinked and was hesitant.

  The goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong rolled their eyes at it. ‘You have eyes but fail to see.

  ‘Master already has us, so why would he need a lazy *ss like you?’

  Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I never thought about being your master, but I don’t want a rare spirit turtle to die just like that. Don’t you want to sleep? I have a good place that’ll allow you to sleep until you return to the upper realm.”

  The giant turtle’s eyes lit up at once, so much so that they seemed to be burning in flames. As such, there was an entirely different look in its eyes.

  “Where? Where?” It yelled anxiously. If it was not because it was being pinned down by Multi-armed King Kong, it would have gone over to the young fellow already.

  Ou Yangming chuckled and touched the Long Feather Band on his wrist. “I have a piece of interspatial equipment here, so you can come in and sleep. I assure you that you’ll be back in the upper realm by the ti
me you wake up.”

  The giant turtle widened its eyes. “Does the kind of interspatial equipment with massive space and the ability to keep living beings exist in this realm?”

  “How would you know if you don’t try?” Ou Yangming scoffed. He flashed and arrived beside the spirit turtle, then the Long Feather Band on his wrist released an endless light and enveloped the humongous creature.

  Chapter 507 - Exterminate

  When the Long Feather Band released a light that covered such a broad area, apart from the little red bird, the others were shocked.

  In particular, Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei were given an interspatial bag each by Ou Yangming, but the spaces inside their bags were limited. Not to mention the massive spirit turtle, even Big Yellow could not be accommodated at all.

  Without further ado, Ou Yangming simply retrieved a piece of interspatial equipment that could store the spirit turtle. Moreover, judging from his tone, the equipment seemed to be able to keep living beings.

  As compared to interspatial bags, the interspatial equipment was much more high-leveled.

  Multi-armed King Kong was taken aback when the light was released, hence it immediately stayed away. It was not afraid of the interspatial light, but it was scared that its presence might prevent the limited space in the equipment from taking in the spirit turtle.

  The spirit turtle was rather hesitant at first, but it widened its eyes once its body touched the light.

  The light was incredibly warm. Although the spirit turtle did not like the heat, it somehow sensed an intense power of “life” amidst the light. It instantly understood that the interspatial equipment was indeed a unique and powerful treasure that could keep spirit beasts.

  Needless to say, any other creature would have some concerns if one thought about how the treasure was being controlled by a human. Nonetheless, the spirit turtle’s mindset was evidently unordinary. It would be content as long as it could find a place to sleep soundly without being disturbed.
