Chapter 129

The three flood dragons opened their giant mouths simultaneously!

Three terrifying dragon breaths containing destructive thunder power struck fiercely at the giant sea turtle's shell from three different directions!

"Rumble——！！！"

The deafening explosion echoed continuously in the depths of the seabed!

The violent thunder power and the incomparably hard turtle shell engaged in the most direct and tragic collision!

Even if the giant sea turtle's shell defense was strong, it was difficult to withstand the simultaneous bombardment of three Heavenly Thunder Dragon Breaths!

He saw that fine cracks began to appear on the originally smooth and hard turtle shell!

And those cracks were still expanding and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The giant sea turtle let out painful and fearful cries from within the shell!

It could clearly feel that its turtle shell was about to be unable to hold on!

It was completely afraid!

Seeing Ning Chuan's three hideous flood dragon heads open their giant mouths again, seemingly preparing to launch a more fatal blow—

The giant sea turtle no longer cared about any dignity or face, and quickly let out a series of urgent and pleading long roars.

Ning Chuan heard this and was slightly stunned.

He heard a hint of... submission in the giant turtle's roar?

"Oh? You want to submit to this seat?" Ning Chuan asked with a voice carrying a hint of playfulness.

The giant sea turtle quickly let out a more urgent roar, indicating affirmation.

Ning Chuan sneered and said: "Unfortunately, this seat has no interest in subduing you, a shrinking turtle, right now."

"This seat wants your turtle shell!"

The giant sea turtle was anxious upon hearing this!

It let out another anxious roar, seemingly explaining something.

Ning Chuan listened carefully, and a hint of interested light gradually appeared in his pale golden dragon pupils.

It turned out that this giant sea turtle didn't just have the shell on its body.

In the depths of the sea trench where it lived, it also treasured its innate turtle shell that had fallen off when it first shed its shell thousands of years ago!

That shell, after being nourished and polished by it for hundreds of years, had long become spiritual, and its spirituality and toughness were several times better than the shell on its body now!

It was willing to offer that innate turtle shell to Ning Chuan, only begging Ning Chuan to spare its life!

Ning Chuan listened to the giant turtle's "explanation," and a hint of playful smile flashed in his pale golden dragon pupils.

"Hehe, you should have said so earlier."

"Lead the way."

Hearing Ning Chuan’s words, which carried a hint of mockery and playfulness.

The giant sea turtle, its massive head protruding from its shell, hurriedly let out a low and fawning long moan.

As if saying: "Lord Dragon is wise and mighty; this lowly one should have thought of it sooner!"

In its heart, it also let out a long sigh of relief, having finally saved its old life.

Although having to offer up its most precious treasure made its heart ache intensely.

But compared to its life, what were mere worldly possessions?

Moreover, the one before it was a terrifying dragon capable of shaking off heavenly tribulations and even actively blasting apart the tribulation clouds!

Being able to trade a treasure for a chance to live was already immense good fortune.

As that unique spiritual power within its body surged.

One could see its thick turtle shell, which had been covered in cracks and even shattered in some places from the bombardment of Ning Chuan’s Dragon Breath of Heavenly Thunder.

Actually began to slowly repair itself at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Those fine cracks, under the flow of pale green radiance, gradually mended.

The shattered shell fragments also regrew and coalesced.

A moment later, that indestructible turtle shell had recovered as before, as if it had never been damaged at all.

Watching this scene, a look of wonder could not help but flash in Ning Chuan’s eyes.

This giant turtle’s recovery ability was truly extraordinary.

It was worthy of being a strange creature that had lived for who knows how many years; its tenacity of life far exceeded that of ordinary demonic beasts.

He became even more expectant of the so-called "Life-Bound Turtle Shell."

A treasure that could be treasured for thousands of years by such an existence, and which was even more spiritually rich than its own shell, must certainly be no small matter.

Soon.

The giant sea turtle shook its mountain-sized body and slowly swam into the bottomless, pitch-black sea trench below.

A moment later, it swam back up.

A gentle current of water surged from beneath it, cautiously supporting a massive object emitting a lustrous jade-colored glow as it slowly rose.

That was, shockingly, a giant turtle shell with a diameter of ten meters!

This shell was different from the ink-green shell on the giant turtle’s body.

Its entire body presented a warm, jade-like, strange luster, and its surface was incomparably smooth, as if it had been polished with the utmost care.

Upon it were densely packed, naturally formed, strange patterns as profound as the trajectories of stars.

An extremely rich spiritual aura permeated from this jade-colored shell, making one feel refreshed and relaxed just by smelling it, as if their soul had been cleansed!

The giant turtle took a look at the jade-colored shell with an expression of extreme reluctance, one could even say intense heartache.

Only then did it push it slowly toward Ning Chuan in a near-fawning posture.

It let out low moans, seemingly trying to claim credit to Ning Chuan, indicating that it had offered up its most precious treasure.

Ning Chuan carefully examined the jade-colored shell before him, which radiated a rich spiritual aura.

He could clearly feel that the energy contained within was far purer and more vast than the shell of the dark-gold giant crab from before!

Moreover, its spiritual intensity was simply the greatest he had ever seen in his life!

Used as the core eye for the [Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array], the effect would likely be several times better than he had anticipated!

It might even trigger some unexpected and profound changes!

Ning Chuan nodded with satisfaction, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.

This trip to the deep sea had truly not disappointed him!

He took the jade-colored shell without any hesitation.

Immediately, his gaze fell once again upon the giant sea turtle, which was looking at him with eager eyes filled with trepidation and anticipation.

He was contemplating how to deal with this strange giant turtle that had already submitted to him.

Should he release it back into the sea and let it fend for itself?

Or... did he have another use for it?

The giant sea turtle felt Ning Chuan’s scrutinizing gaze, and its heart suddenly skipped a beat, becoming restless and uneasy.

It feared that after obtaining its treasure, Ning Chuan would go back on his word and take its life.

It hurriedly let out low, pleading moans, indicating its willingness to submit completely to Ning Chuan, to be a slave for eternity, and never to harbor the slightest disloyalty.

That humble and cowardly appearance was a far cry from its previous fierce and domineering demeanor as a hegemon of the region.

Watching its pitiful appearance, Ning Chuan found it somewhat amusing.

He thought for a moment and felt that having a giant sea turtle with strength comparable to a top Grandmaster and astonishing defensive power as the guardian spirit beast of Taohuadao was not a bad choice.

Its massive size could also serve as a deterrent.

Moreover, he had an even bolder idea in his heart.

This giant turtle was so massive that if, in the future, his [Heaven and Earth Spirit-Gathering Array] could cover the entire Taohuadao.

Perhaps... perhaps he could let this giant turtle carry the entire Taohuadao and move freely across the endless ocean?!

What a spectacular and incredible sight that would be?!

"Very well." With a plan in mind, Ning Chuan no longer hesitated.

He opened his dragon maw and condensed another drop of essence blood, shimmering with black-gold radiance and containing his dragon origin power and will imprint.

Although this drop of essence blood was not as pure as the one he had bestowed upon Huang Rong earlier, it was sufficient to control this giant turtle.

"Open your mouth," Ning Chuan said in a voice carrying a hint of majesty.

Hearing this, the giant sea turtle, though unaware of what Ning Chuan intended to do, dared not show the slightest defiance.
