Chapter 1338 - 395: Damn, Damn, Damn
Zhou Qing’s heart tightened instantly. He scooped up the old hen and flashed to the side of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, on full alert!
"That beast... is it finally waking up?"
Soon, he seemed to sense something. Under the [Heavy Pupils], he immediately looked up at the void not far away.
In the depths of darkness, a jagged silhouette slowly emerged.
It was a Void Beast as large as a mountain, resembling a giant crocodile, but with six pairs of crimson compound eyes.
Its body was covered in pitch-black bone armor, with each piece inscribed with bizarre blood-red patterns.
The most terrifying thing was its monstrous mouth — both jaws lined with serrated teeth, and in the opening and closing, one could even see the wriggling flesh threads deep within its throat.
"Hiss—"
It emitted a piercing screech, its six pairs of eyes simultaneously locking onto Zhou Qing on the turtle’s back.
Zhou Qing felt his hackles rise instantly!
This was definitely a terrifying Void Beast at the Supreme Realm, perhaps even surpassing it.
But soon, its gaze passed over the insignificant human being and stared directly at the wood-attribute Spirit Stones on the turtle’s back, which were emitting enticing spiritual light.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but let out a long breath of relief.
It seemed these Spirit Stones were not only a lure for the turtle but also an irresistible treasure for other Void Beasts!
He immediately collected the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree into the Storage Bag and held onto the old hen. If the turtle couldn’t prevail, he would seize the chance to escape.
Under Zhou Qing’s tense gaze, the crocodile-like Void Beast suddenly accelerated, its massive body cutting a residual shadow through the void.
It opened its blood-red maw, a twisted spatial vortex gathering in its throat — a Void breath sufficient to tear apart a Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse!
It seemed to be cautious as well, intending to test the waters first.
Zhou Qing’s entire body tensed, immediately forming a spiritual power shield as thin as a cicada’s wings over his body.
At this critical moment—
"Boom!"
The entire turtle’s back violently shook once more.
The once slumbering turtle finally opened its eyes, as large as the sun and moon!
What kind of eyes were those!
The pupils were an eerie blue-golden color, with the whites full of web-like blood vessels.
The moment it fully opened, Zhou Qing felt as if his blood was about to freeze — the violence and killing intent in that gaze seemed almost tangible.
"Roar——!!!"
The turtle let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
The previously slowly floating turtle’s back suddenly began to spin at an incredible speed, almost throwing Zhou Qing off.
He desperately grabbed onto the jutting Spirit Stones, watching as the turtle’s head emerged from beneath the shell —
That was no ordinary turtle head!
The triangular head covered in scales bore three spiraling horns.
As its neck fully extended, the exposed part was actually two-thirds the length of the turtle’s back!
The breath of the crocodile Void Beast descended with a thunderous crash, but was blocked by a suddenly lit up green light curtain a hundred feet from the turtle’s back.
The void erupted with countless spatial fissures, the violent turbulence shredding all nearby meteoroids to dust.
And at this moment, the turtle’s counterattack began.
Its seemingly clumsy body suddenly burst forth with terrifying speed, its four bone-armored giant claws fiercely kicking off the void.
The force of this kick sent ripples through space for miles!
And the giant crocodile Void Beast finally reacted, but the arrow was already on the string, and it had to release it, not to mention... it was hungry!
"Boom!"
The two formidable heads clashed hard.
The giant crocodile Void Beast sank its sharp teeth into the turtle’s neck, only to spark out a burst of blinding sparks — those blue-black scales were far harder than expected!
The turtle took the opportunity to open its monstrous mouth, accurately biting onto its opponent’s forelimb.
Amidst the teeth-chattering sound of bones crumbling, Zhou Qing could clearly see pitch-black liquid gushing from the wound — it was the starlit Void Blood!
"Roar!!" the injured giant crocodile Void Beast went completely berserk.
It suddenly released its bite from the turtle’s neck and swept horizontally with its tail.
The long tail bristling with spikes slashed through the void with a mournful shrill, striking solidly on the turtle shell’s side.
"Bang—"
The force of this hit actually knocked the massive turtle off its course.
The turtle’s back where Zhou Qing was inclined sharply, countless Spirit Stones bursting with blinding spiritual light in the collision, dazzlingly brilliant.
He held tightly to one of the protruding Spirit Stones, his body nearly flung out.
The void turbulence whistled past like a gale, making his robes flutter loudly.
In this violent jolt, a dozen millstone-sized Spirit Stones were flung from the turtle’s back, shooting towards the depths of the void.
"A great opportunity!"
Zhou Qing was overjoyed, his eyes flashing.
Without hesitation, he activated his spiritual power, his fingertips shooting out dozens of thread-like Spirit Silks, weaving towards those scattered Spirit Stones like a web...
