Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 440 The Wrath of Xuanwu

After Qin Xiaochuan joined the battle, the situation completely turned in his favor. Under Guo Shiyi's control and Han Kexin's restraint, Qin Xiaochuan launched a series of fierce attacks on Xiang Liu. Even though Xiang Liu possessed strong defensive capabilities and recovery attributes, he was unable to withstand Qin Xiaochuan's attacks and was seriously injured. It wouldn't be long before he followed in Fu You's footsteps.

Just then, an unprecedented light suddenly burst forth from the green swamp underground.

"Buzz—!"

A deep, muffled hum, seemingly from the ancient past, resounded, causing the clouds in the Eye of Chaos to momentarily freeze.

Within that beam of light, a colossal phantom rapidly solidified—a gigantic beast with a snake's head and a tortoise's body, its shell engraved with profound patterns containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, radiating an unparalleled majesty that suppressed the four seas and eight wastelands.

"The divine beast Xuanwu!" Guo Shiyi couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the phantom. The main god worshipped by the Wudang Sect is the Zhenwu Emperor, and as a disciple of the Wudang Sect, Guo Shiyi naturally recognized the true form of Xuanwu at a glance.

The phantom eventually grew to the size of a small mountain. When the snake on Xuanwu stood up, it was almost as tall as Qin Xiaochuan and the others in the air. Xuanwu continuously emitted a blue light, and then Xuanwu emitted another buzzing sound. A phantom with a blue light suddenly descended from the sky. The phantom was square, and the blue light poured down from it, forming a blue light curtain as big as a basketball court, enveloping everyone in it. Although the phantom was still in mid-air, it contained an incomparably powerful pressure, making it almost impossible for everyone in the air to breathe.

"Could this be the legendary Xuanwu Seal?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask. "As expected of an ancient divine beast, its power is astonishing."

As the floating creature was defeated, the chains that had bound Xuanwu began to loosen. Being trapped in the venomous swamp for a long time enraged this ancient divine beast. The moment it broke free of control, it launched an indiscriminate attack on the people in the air.

Just as the light of the Xuanwu Seal enveloped everyone, the giant snake on Xuanwu's body swayed its head, and a dark blue light burst forth from its body, spreading out like a water ring and attacking the people in the air.

Controlled by the Xuanwu Seal, Qin Xiaochuan and the others had no time to dodge and could only create a spiritual energy shield in front of them to block the attack of the light. The dark blue light seemed to contain powerful spiritual energy, and each beam of light was wrapped with strong power. Even though Qin Xiaochuan's spiritual energy shield shattered immediately after being hit by the light three times, the dark blue light of the Xuanwu continued to flow layer after layer, seemingly endless, and could not be resisted by human strength at all.

"This divine beast's strength far exceeds our imagination; we can't withstand it head-on. Let's dodge it first." In this critical moment, Qin Xiaochuan made a decision, instructing Kaiming to lead the others to rise upwards to avoid the attack of the Xuanwu Divine Light. However, the divine light seemed to have a spirit and followed closely. There was no way for the group to do anything but dodge in the air. Only when they couldn't dodge it could they use defensive skills to block it.

"Hiding like this isn't a solution," Han Kexin couldn't help but say. She flapped her wings, her body tracing a graceful arc in the air, successfully dodging one attack of divine light. Another divine light followed immediately, and she couldn't help but complain, "We didn't provoke this divine beast, so why is it chasing us so relentlessly?"

"Perhaps it thinks we're in cahoots with the floating willow tree," Guo Shiyi pondered. "The Black Tortoise is an ancient divine beast, extremely intelligent, and it's impossible for it not to be able to distinguish right from wrong. We need to find a way to communicate with it and clear up the misunderstanding."

"Can it understand what we're saying?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's definitely possible. Zhenwu the Great is a deity worshipped in many parts of the north. He receives incense offerings from people all year round, so it's impossible that he doesn't understand what we're saying," Guo Shiyi said confidently.

"That's good. Leave the communication with it to me. I'll pull it into my mental space so we can communicate directly, right?" Qin Xiaochuan said confidently. As he spoke, he found the Xuanwu's mental energy in his mental space. It was a large patch of golden light, clearly indicating that Xuanwu also possessed powerful mental energy. Qin Xiaochuan touched Xuanwu's golden energy with his own mental energy and discovered that a cyan phantom suddenly appeared in the golden light, instantly shattering his mental energy.

"This..." Qin Xiaochuan exclaimed in surprise, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"What's wrong with you?" Guo Shiyi asked worriedly.

Qin Xiaochuan sighed and said, "This Xuanwu is indeed an ancient divine beast. Its spiritual energy is protected by divine consciousness, so there is no way to pull it into my spiritual space."

"What do we do then? Are we just going to keep fighting Xuanwu like this? When will this ever end?" After dodging another attack from Xuanwu's divine light, Han Kexin couldn't help but complain again.

While Qin Xiaochuan and the others were dodging Xuanwu's attacks, Xiang Liu, on the other side, used Xuanwu's attacks to break free from Guo Shiyi's willow branches. While dodging Xuanwu's divine light attacks, he flew down to find Fuyou, who was still unconscious on the ground.

He knew very well that, judging from the situation just now, it was impossible for him to defeat Qin Xiaochuan and the others. However, his purpose in coming here was not to fight, but to find the Undying Rage.

The Undying Rage was suppressed beneath the Breath of Earth. Originally, Xuanwu was guarding the Breath of Earth, but due to the Poison Swamp and the battle, it has now left its original position. This gave Xiang Liu a chance to retrieve the Undying Rage.

So Xiang Liu guided the Xuanwu Divine Light to continuously bombard the mountain peak formed by the Breath Soil. When the Xuanwu Divine Light bombarded, the mountain peak also lit up with a yellow light to defend itself.

Under the frequent attacks of Xuanwu Divine Light, the yellow light on the mountain peak was rapidly dimming. Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiang Liu's nine huge snake heads launched an attack on the mountain peak at the same time. With a loud "boom", sand and stones flew, the ground collapsed and mountains crumbled, and it seemed that even the entire earth trembled. A dazzling green light appeared in the collapsed mountain peak, which was the Undying Raging Tide that Xiang Liu had come here to find.

The loud noise and vibration attracted the attention of Xuanwu. This ancient divine beast clearly understood Xiangliu's purpose. Perhaps feeling that it had been tricked today, it was extremely angry and launched a full-force attack on Xiangliu. With a sway of its body, an even more powerful Xuanwu divine light attacked Xiangliu.

Faced with Xuanwu's attack, Xiangliu made no attempt to dodge. It opened its huge mouth and sucked the Undying Rage into its mouth. Then, its nine snake heads coiled together, using the scales on its body to form a castle-like armor to meet Xuanwu's divine light.
