Chapter 881: Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle
The tunnel downward turned into a huge cavern, with no obvious path to walk, entirely resembling a natural cave.
Xiao Feng slid down over two hundred meters, and a fork appeared ahead.
"Gurulu~"
A muffled sound came from the left fork, while a cool breeze blew from the right.
Xiao Feng, who loved killing monsters for rewards, decisively chose to go left!
Crazy God and the others thought for a moment and said, "Leave the fighting to Xiao Feng, the great god; we'll go check out the right side!" Then they entered the right fork.
"Be careful." Xiao Feng reminded.
After advancing another few hundred meters, the surrounding space gradually became more spacious.
By the light of the fireball, one could see metallic-feeling rocks scattered in the underground cavern, likely decent-quality ore.
As they moved forward, the gurgling sound grew louder, indicating the monster was obviously not small.
After walking another few hundred meters, a huge cavern suddenly appeared ahead, spanning four to five hundred meters in size and with a height of no less than a hundred meters!
In the cavern lay a huge black turtle, larger than a house, its shell bound by eight chains and firmly fixed to the ground.
This turtle was over forty meters tall, no smaller than two hundred meters in size; the enormous cavern felt somewhat cramped.
Its shell was covered in cracks, full of weathered marks, having existed for who knows how many ages.
Those eight chains were not physical; they were eight energy chains extending from a complex magic formation on the ground, binding it tightly.
At this moment, the great turtle lay on the ground, emitting a slow, rhythmic breathing sound, as if asleep.
Xiao Feng checked its information.
【Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle (Law Comprehension)】
Level: 720 (Mid-level Main God)
HP: 18 trillion/18 trillion
Note: Drained dry, turned into a powerless turtle……
The HP of Main God-level monsters in the dungeon is also visible, just like in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.
With an HP cap of 18 trillion, compressed tenfold to 1.8 trillion, it's quite a tank among Mid-level Main Gods!
Seeing that final note, Xiao Feng almost laughed out loud.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
The giant turtle slowly opened its eyes.
From its eyes, Xiao Feng saw weariness.
"Weak little adventurer… what brings you here?" it spoke slowly, like an old man in his twilight years.
Xiao Feng said: "I came to kill a guy called the Demonic Feather Emperor; you look like you're having a rough time—were you bullied?"
Upon hearing this, the great turtle snorted disdainfully: "A mere Lower God dares to boast of challenging a High-level Main God. That bastard Demonic Feather Emperor may be shameless, but his strength is still formidable. Weaklings like you, even ten thousand of you, wouldn't be enough for him to blow away with a breath."
Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.
Basically, every NPC who sees him says that, and they all end up getting slapped in the face badly.
If there really were ten thousand of him, the entire Yuan Su Shen Yu would probably be turned upside down!
"Let you try my damage and you'll know." Xiao Feng didn't waste words, single-handedly gripping his weapon Feather's Song, and threw a Source Needle straight at it.
"Hmph, arrogant fam… ow, that hurts!"
The Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle had wanted to jeer, but the Source Needle pierced it directly, dealing a -4.8 billion crit, breaking a layer of skin on its head and oozing purplish-black blood.
"Holy cow, that's tanky!" Xiao Feng was also shocked; he'd thought the Source Needle could at least hit seven or eight hundred billion, but it only did this much damage.
As a turtle-type monster, it's indeed tough to beat!
"You, you little monster, how do you have such strength?" the Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle that took the needle exclaimed in shock.
Xiao Feng shrugged: "Damage is proportional to looks; I'm too handsome, there's nothing I can do."
Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle: ……
It fell silent for a moment.
After a while, it asked: "Even so, with you and your weak demigod companions outside, you still couldn't defeat that Feather Emperor guy. His power is too great, and he has many fallen Feather Wing Clan experts under him. Moreover, after tens of thousands of years of operation, he's turned Black Feather Island into a unified grand magic formation; unless the God King himself arrives, no one could hope to defeat him!"
"That powerful?"
Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised; it seemed the great turtle knew quite a bit about the Demonic Feather Emperor.
He asked: "You seem quite familiar with the Demonic Feather Emperor, and your tone isn't friendly—could it be that he imprisoned you here?"
The Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle replied arrogantly: "Hmph… without my guidance, he couldn't have reached his current strength; by rights, I'm still his master!"
Then he sighed: "I never expected this damned wretch to repay kindness with betrayal—after learning my Elemental Demon Soul-Devouring Secret Technique, he drained my divine power and imprisoned me here. If I didn't have an indestructible body, that ungrateful disciple would have killed me long ago."
Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.
The turtle being the master of the bird-people—what a peculiar setting!
"Is the Elemental Demon Soul-Devouring Secret Technique you mentioned perhaps the method the Demonic Feather Emperor used to drain his own clan's female descendants? Where did you learn such a disgusting skill?" he asked.
Upon hearing this, the Elemental Demon Spirit Turtle flew into a rage, roaring: "Nonsense! My secret technique is an upper-level secret art passed down through bloodline, usable on any living being! It's that brat himself, selfishly seeking pure power to break through to God King, who did this despicable thing—attacking his own offspring."
"Oh? Really?"
Xiao Feng was a bit surprised.
If anyone could absorb it, that would be incredibly powerful!
From that meaning, recklessly absorbing power should lead to impure strength, preventing a breakthrough to the God King realm.
But even reaching just 999-level High-level Main God would already be extremely impressive!
The Feather Emperor harbored ambition; to make the absorbed power pure and of the same origin, he was willing to spend tens of thousands of years waiting for successive queens of the Flying Bird Divine Kingdom to grow, then gradually absorb them.
Those selected for the "Elemental Demon Soul-Devouring" through such harsh conditions suffer no side effects, just as if he had cultivated it himself.
This too counts as a genius conception! His wisdom and patience must be quite strong!
However…… their talent is just average.
After several tens of thousands of years, they still had to rely on absorbing others' power to break through to over 900 levels; without the Law Secret Technique, their strength would probably be at most six or seven hundred levels.
"What happens after one's divine power is drained? I don't see any big change in you, ah." Xiao Feng asked.
Primordial Demon Spirit Turtle lay on the ground and sighed: "Although it won't affect my vitality, after my divine essence power is drained, my strength drops to a level comparable to that of a Title God. Those whom they drained are the same; now their strength has greatly diminished, and aside from still retaining the body of a Main God, they basically have no other powerful means."
Xiao Feng suddenly realized.
This means that what was actually drained was only the divine essence power contained within the divinity, and it did not affect one's life safety.
As for the humiliation spoken of by the Main God of the Flying Bird Xiu Fu, it's probably just the personal preference of the Demonic Feather Emperor, ah……
Tsk tsk!
They deserve to die!
