160: The turtle family?

"A bit interesting."

"However, that is all it is."

"Before this seat, all resistance is futile!"

"Die!"

The moment the voice fell.

BOOM!!!

A bolt of purple-gold divine lightning, thinner than the Thunder Flood Dragon's previous 'Thunder Dragon Roar' but containing destructive energy thousands of times more terrifying, crossed the distance of tens of thousands of meters without any warning!

In an instant, it appeared right above the dragon turtle avatar's head!

Its speed was at the absolute limit!

Its power was even more world-destroying!

This strike was so fast that even the Xuanming Divine Armor couldn't fully react!

*Pfft!*

Li Qing felt as if his Turtle shell had been violently struck by a star falling from the heavens!

An indescribable, highly penetrative, and terrifying force instantly pierced through the defense he took so much pride in!

His massive dragon turtle avatar violently spat out a large mouthful of golden blood!

His entire body was uncontrollably smashed toward the riverbed by this Great Strength!

Rumble!

The hard rock layers of the riverbed were smashed into a terrifying giant crater dozens of meters deep by his massive body!

I was too careless!

Only these few words remained in Li Qing's mind.

He felt as if every bone in his body was about to fall apart; his internal organs were displaced, and even his Divine Soul was trembling!

One strike!

With just a single strike!

He had suffered an unprecedentedly heavy blow!

Is this the power of the Sixth-Rank?

As expected, the gap is like heaven and earth!

I can't hesitate any longer!

Li Qing forced himself to endure the agonizing pain churning within him, no longer harboring any thoughts of luck.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years!

I, Li Qing, will remember what happened today!

Once I've evolved, if I don't pull out your tendons, you Old Loach, and use them as a belt, my surname isn't Li!

With a thought, he unhesitatingly activated his final trump card!

Void Shadow!

Buzz—!

A mysterious and profound fluctuation, seemingly not belonging to this world, instantly enveloped the massive body of the dragon turtle avatar.

The massive dark shadow deep within the riverbed crater began to turn blurry and illusory, like a stick of ink dropped into water, rapidly...

Merging into the surrounding deep 'Void Realm' composed of shadows and tiny spatial rifts.

No spatial fluctuations.

No leakage of elemental energy.

Just like that, he vanished into thin air from this world.

It was as if he had never appeared at all.

And in the second after he disappeared.

BOOM—!!!

Another even thicker and more terrifying purple-gold divine lightning descended from the sky, striking the giant crater where he had just been with unerring precision!

This time, the Sixth-Rank Thunder Dragon was clearly playing for keeps!

The destructive power of lightning erupted violently!

Under this terrifying strike, the riverbed of the entire canyon was forcibly plowed into a frightening trench a hundred meters deep and a thousand meters long!

The river water poured back in, and the earth shook!

Its power was enough to completely wipe a small city off the map!

However, this world-destroying strike hit nothing.

"Hmm?"

From the far upper reaches, that ancient and majestic Divine Thought once again let out a sound of surprise and suspicion.

"He actually... dodged it?"

"How is that possible!"

The next second.

*Whoosh!*

A massive silver figure radiating endless dragon pressure instantly tore through space, appearing in the canyon waters that had already turned into a state of Chaos.

It was that terrifying existence of the Sixth-Rank Middle Stage—the Thunder Dragon!

Its pair of giant dragon eyes, like two purple suns, scanned the messy riverbed below.

Its Divine Thought swept out like a tide, covering everything, investigating every inch of space within a hundred-mile radius no less than a hundred times!

But there was nothing.

No aura of that Turtle.

No traces of spatial teleportation.

There wasn't even a single shred of energy residue!

That fellow had vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth!

"This... just what kind of method is this?"

A look of confusion appeared on the Thunder Dragon's majestic face.

With its Realm as a Sixth-Rank king, capable of moving mountains and filling seas with Divine Thought covering a thousand miles, it had actually lost track of a little fellow who wasn't even Fifth-Rank?

This was simply a fantasy!

"Old Ancestor!"

Just then, the Thunder Flood Dragon that had escaped death dragged its heavily injured body over, complaining through its Divine Thought in a pitiful manner.

"That stinking Turtle ran away! You must catch him and avenge me!"

The Thunder Dragon glanced at it with a look that seemed to be observing a worthless piece of trash.

"Shut up!"

It gave a cold snort, and an invisible pressure instantly made the Thunder Flood Dragon go silent out of fear, not daring to say another word.

The Thunder Dragon ignored it and once again pushed its Divine Thought to the limit, carefully investigating these waters.

It didn't believe it!

It didn't believe that fellow could just vanish into thin air!

It even used its innate Divine Ability, channeling a sliver of the power of Law, attempting to search this space and see what had just happened.

However, it still found nothing.

That area seemed to be shrouded by an even more Advanced and mysterious power, isolating it from all investigations.

"There is something strange here."

"This is definitely no ordinary spatial escape technique."

Stormy waves rose in the Thunder Dragon's heart.

It had lived for over a thousand years and had never seen such a bizarre concealment Divine Ability!

Just what was the background of that Turtle?

In its mind, it rapidly flashed through all the famous Yao Beast races with powerful water-type Bloodlines in the Great Xia Dynasty and even the entire continent.

Mystic Water Turtle?

Dragon-Blooded Crocodile?

Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon?

No!

None of them!

It knew the Bloodline auras of those races perfectly well; none of them matched that Turtle from just now!

Especially that absolute limit of physical defense and that thin but incomparably pure and noble dragon pressure... "Could it be?"

An absurd thought, yet seemingly the only explanation, emerged in its mind.

"Is it a hidden Ancient Turtle Clan that we don't know about?"

The more it thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

Only those ancient clans with unfathomable foundations that had passed down their Legacy since the Primordial Era could possibly nurture such a Prodigy!

To possess such perverted strength and such a bizarre life-saving Divine Ability!

Thinking of this, a hint of wariness couldn't help but arise in the Thunder Dragon's heart.

The foundation of a race that could nurture such a junior was likely not below that of its Thunder Dragon Clan, and might even surpass it!

By rashly attacking and heavily injuring the other party's Genius junior today, would it bring an unimaginably powerful enemy upon its own tribe?

For a moment, even an existence as strong as the Thunder Dragon felt a bit uncertain.
