Although he hadn’t seen clearly what the grey shadow was, Li Cheng was certain it was the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle!
Half a month ago, he had seen it gnawing on Universe Mystery Stones, and hadn’t disturbed it. Now, it had actually snatched away the Sky Meteorite Stone that Li Chengzheng was about to claim.
Yan Bei furrowed his brows, “A mere Daluo Golden Immortal dares to act wildly in front of me? Cave Master, wait a moment for me!”
As his words fell, Yan Bei locked onto a direction and teleported away.
That was the Sky Meteorite Stone Li Cheng had set his sights on, to be taken away right in front of an Immortal Emperor like himself, Yan Bei felt deeply humiliated.
How could he not regain face?
Li Cheng didn’t stop him, but released his Immortal Sense to observe.
He saw Yan Bei catch up to the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle in a single step and without a word, reached out his hand and motivated avast amount of Immortal Yuan to envelop the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.
However, contrary to Yan Bei’s expectations, a trace of disdain appeared in the Divine Turtle’s eyes, followed by the appearance of a spatial fissure right in front of it, and it just drilled right in!
The next moment, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle appeared a million miles away, with another spatial fissure appearing in front of it—it continued to drill into it, completely vanishing!
Yan Bei was stunned, “I was careless!”
“Come back, it’s using its Innate Divine Ability to flee. Without full preparations, it’s very difficult to catch,” Li Cheng said with a smile.
Yan Bei sighed and returned to Li Cheng’s side with an embarrassed expression all over his face.
How could he not be embarrassed?
An Immortal Emperor like himself couldn’t even capture a Daluo Golden
Immortal level Divine Beast!
Instead, he had been looked down on by that Divine Beast!
“Indeed, worthy of being a Divine Beast, such a method is truly fitting of the ‘Heaven Escaping’ name,” Yan Bei coughed dryly, using this to cover up his embarrassment.
Li Cheng nodded profoundly in agreement. Although Yan Bei wasn’t fully prepared, he was a true Immortal Emperor, and a casual move from him should not have been so easily evaded by a Daluo Golden Immortal, but the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had done so with ease.
It wasn’t that Yan Bei was weak; it was that the Divine Turtle’s Innate Divine Ability was too powerful.
“Next time we encounter it, I’ll definitely capture it and make it work hard!”
Yan Bei added.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was well-versed in the power of space, and had even mastered a great deal of the Space Law. If they could capture it, both of them would have it easy.
After another busy month, not far away, another person-high Sky Meteorite Stone appeared!
Both of them glanced at each other and then released their Immortal Sense in a very tacit understanding.
With the previous experience, both of them feared that the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle might reappear to snatch the Sky Meteorite Stone.
However, the space-time here was extremely chaotic, and the Immortal Sense could not probe too far and was suppressed back by the chaotic time and space forces.
Observing with the naked eye proved to be more reliable.
Within the twisted earth and sky, there was no sign of the Heaven Escaping
Divine Turtle.
But neither of them took it lightly, keeping their guard up in secret.
Li Cheng reached out through the air, and the person-high Sky Meteorite Stone flew towards him, but in the next moment, an unexpected change occurred!
Just as the Sky Meteorite Stone was about ten meters away, that grey shadow appeared again!
“Still trying to snatch from the jaws of death?” Yan Bei snorted coldly, his domain covered a thousand miles in an instant and then rapidly contracted, preparing to suppress the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle within his domain. But Li Cheng was also within Yan Bei’s domain, which made Yan Bei hesitate, unable to suppress indiscriminately at the first opportunity.
As expected, with a pat of its little paw, the Divine Turtle slapped out a dark spatial fissure in front of it, casting a disdainful glance over Li Cheng and Yan Bei, ready to escape.
That disdainful glance infuriated Li Cheng, “Provoking? I think you’re asking fortrouble!”
Without any apparent movement from Li Cheng, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, which was just about to dive into the spatial rift, suddenly felt a tightness all over its body, as if countless mountains were pressing down on it.
The next second, it clearly sensed that a gravity billions of times greater than its own had suddenly appeared behind it, causing it to instantly move away from that spatial rift.
What’s more, oddly enough, it felt as if it had lost connection with the heaven and earth, unable to open the spatial rift to escape again!
“Try escaping again, I dare you,” Li Cheng’s voice rang out, carrying a hint of anger and playfulness.
Yan Bei couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration, “Law field!”
Li Cheng had already mastered forty-six thousand five hundred different laws.
With the law field activated, he became heaven, he became earth!
Panic surfaced in the eyes of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle. Having roamed here for many years, when had it ever encountered such a situation?
With gravity billions of times greater upon it, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was utterly unable to adapt for a moment, and with the direction of the gravity changing constantly, it was caught off guard and sent tumbling through the law field.
In Yan Bei’s eyes, however, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle looked like it was drunkenly staggering, now to the left, then to the right, tumbling down, then soaring up, its palm-sized body flipping countless times in just a few breaths.
Li Cheng narrowed his law field, suppressing the Heaven Escaping Divine
Turtle and grabbing it in front of him, “No more playing the shrinking turtle. It was fine when you took that Sky Meteorite Stone last time, but now you still want to snatch it?”
Yan Bei spoke indifferently, “Little guy, snatch if you want to snatch, but to mock us on purpose, that’s too much!”
As the law field contracted, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was so compressed it couldn’t move and spoke with difficulty, “You must be mistaken, I didn’t mock you. I am thankful you let go of the Sky Meteorite Stone!”
The voice of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was somewhat childlike, like that of a ten-year-old child.
“Cave Master, it’s a female turtle,” Yan Bei said with a laugh as he observed the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.
“You’re the turtle, I am a Divine Turtle!” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was unhappy being called a turtle and struggled fiercely.
Li Cheng kept changing the direction of gravity, causing the Divine Turtle’s internal organs to feel as if they were boiling, no longer daring to struggle.
“A Divine Turtle is still a turtle, the overlord among turtles is still a turtle, much like how the overlord among beggars is still a beggar. What’s there to argue?” Li Cheng said.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle retracted its head once more, “I’ll return the Sky Meteorite Stone to you, can you let me go then? I promise not to steal your stones again. After all, it was my fault to begin with!”
Li Cheng laughed, “You’re thinking too much. Turtle blood is highly nourishing, especially since you’re a Divine Turtle. I’m planning to stew you!” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle was astonished, “You’re the one thinking too much. With your Golden Immortal cultivation, how could you stew me? Better to release me, or else in the future…”
Before it could finish, a flame of Immortal Fire appeared in Li Cheng’s palm. Within the Immortal Fire, an immense amount of Rule of Fire surged, causing the Divine Turtle’s pupils to shrink abruptly as it quickly shut its mouth. Immortal Fire driven by sixteen thousand Law of Fire, with its Daluo Golden Immortal strength, was undoubtedly unresistable.
“My Cave Master’s Immortal Fire can stew anything. Are you afraid now?” Yan Bei teased.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle opened its mouth, looking panicked in its eyes, “How can I be released? Just say it. Whatever I can agree to, I will not refuse, since it was my mistake from the start.”
Relying on its Innate Divine Ability, it thrived in this place, not even considering Immortal Emperors worth regarding. Who would have thought it would fall into the hands of a Golden Immortal?
Indeed, there are skies beyond skies, people beyond people.
“Why should we let you go? The two of us are planning to drink Divine Turtle blood and eat Divine Turtle meat for nourishment!” Li Cheng declared.
“That’s right. Come to think of it, I’ve never eaten Divine Beast meat. I’m particularly looking forward to it!” Yan Bei swallowed hard.
Li Cheng also swallowed hard, looking famished.
Yan Bei straightforwardly took out a small bottle of salt, “Cave Master, let’s get some turtle blood first, add some salt and drink it raw. Let’s nourish ourselves!”
Li Cheng shook his head, turned over his hand and took out the Purple Void
Jade Emperor’s Tripod, “Divine Turtle blood should be used for Alchemy; that’s how to maximize its effects. Drinking it raw is too wasteful.”
At this scene, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle completely panicked. This was it—it had messed up!
