At that moment, continuous booming sounds echoed from behind as the golden dragon and the giant turtle battled fiercely, emitting astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.
Although the golden dragon, formed from condensed golden light, was not a physical beast, it seemed to be no weaker than the giant turtle.
However, the giant turtle relied on its strong defense to withstand the attacks while continuously devouring the corpses of desolate beasts in the sea. Its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had swept through the surrounding dozens of miles.
It was charging towards the direction where Zhang Ling was.
Zhang Ling thought to himself, could it be that the restrictions around the Nine Dragon Wall couldn't stop this desolate beast?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw that the spiritual light pillars on the Nine Dragon Wall had turned crimson red at some point. A terrifying fire spiritual energy emanated from them, and another dragon's roar echoed as a giant dragon appeared in the air once again.
The difference was that this dragon was formed from pure fire spiritual energy. As soon as the fire dragon took shape, it also opened its mouth and spewed out a thick stream of fire, striking the giant turtle.
At the same time, the golden dragon quickly swooped down and shot out more than a dozen golden light balls, which strangely stretched and thinned, transforming into dense golden threads that trapped the giant turtle in place.
Subsequently, the fire dragon spiraled into a circle, transforming into a giant fire ring that crashed down with a whistling sound that pierced the air.
With the golden dragon and fire dragon working together, they instantly suppressed the giant turtle.
The giant tails of the two dragons wrapped around the Xuan Turtle, firmly trapping the beast on the surface of the sea.
Amidst the flashing golden light, golden scales continuously cut towards the Xuan Turtle, and the fire dragon was even more direct, spewing out large patches of flames. For a time, the flames covered the Xuan Turtle's entire body, causing it to howl incessantly.
Just as Zhang Ling thought the two dragons could kill this Xuan Turtle.
The Xuan Turtle's massive body began to spin rapidly, like a giant spinning top, sinking into the seabed in an instant.
In an instant, only the sound of rushing water could be heard, while the scene before him was empty and plunged into tranquility.
Zhang Ling quickly released his divine sense and swept it towards the water, immediately sensing an astonishing power of extreme cold coming from the bottom of the sea. A layer of ice fog rose from the sea surface, but the seawater did not freeze. Instead, it swirled into a giant vortex. Various spiritual lights flickered within, and the Xuan Turtle and the two dragons could vaguely be seen fighting underwater.
He only glanced at it once and dared not look any further.
At the same time, he noticed that the golden clouds in the sky had weakened a lot, and there were fewer of the dense golden blades than before. Zhang Ling was overjoyed and flew with all his might.
In the blink of an eye, he flew another ten miles or so. He was about to approach the Nine Dragon Wall. He even saw a dragon gate on the Nine Dragon Wall. Passing through that dragon gate would allow him to enter the Nine Dragon Cave, and then he would be safe.
But at this moment, another change occurred.
Zhang Ling suddenly felt a powerful pulling force that caused his figure to pause. Then, he felt a chill behind him.
This was not cold sweat caused by tension, but a genuine feeling that the surroundings had suddenly become extremely cold, as if he were in an ice cellar.
Scanning with his divine sense, he discovered that the ice fog rising from the sea surface had become extremely thick in an instant, constantly surging upwards and reaching a height of a hundred zhang in an instant.
For a time, everything before him was a white expanse, and even his divine sense was greatly affected, becoming somewhat sluggish.
Without even thinking, he knew that this was the ice fog emitted by the Xuan Turtle.
Zhang Ling did not dare to delay. He concentrated the spiritual power throughout his body, and the feeling of coldness subsided by more than half. He controlled the light wings behind him and flew away quickly.
But after flying only a few dozen zhang, a loud booming sound came from below, and the seawater below instantly stirred up layers of huge waves.
Unfortunately, he happened to be hit by a huge wave. A huge force struck his body, and Zhang Ling lost his balance and flew backwards. Fortunately, he had already summoned the Yellow Luo Umbrella for defense, so he did not suffer any damage.
A flash of yellow light on his body stabilized his figure. Before he had time to fly forward again, Zhang Ling noticed a fishy wind rushing up from below.
Scanning with his eyes, Zhang Ling's heart trembled. A huge black shadow appeared beneath him, it was the giant head of the Xuan Turtle.
This turtle head was twenty to thirty zhang in size, covered with a layer of dark and shiny scales, and it just happened to emerge from the ice fog.
Not good.
Zhang Ling cried out inwardly, but he didn't have time to escape. He was instantly swallowed by the Xuan Turtle.
After swallowing a human, the Xuan Turtle did not react, just like it had swallowed the desolate beasts in the sea earlier. It was covered with a strong aura of icy cold, leaped out of the water, and landed on the sea surface dozens of miles away, stirring up thousand-zhang waves.
Immediately afterwards, a great spiritual light flashed in the water, and a giant dragon also rushed out.
This dragon was even more massive, reaching a length of two hundred zhang, but it had two heads, a golden dragon head and a fire-condensed dragon head. It was actually a two-headed dragon, emitting golden and red spiritual light all over its body.
At the same time, the spiritual light pillar on the Nine Dragon Wall shone with five-colored spiritual light, emitting dots of spiritual light. They floated over like fireflies and merged into the two-headed dragon's body, instantly increasing its aura by several points.
The two dragon heads roared to the sky in unison, shaking the sky and rippling circles of waves, and the sea also stirred up滔天巨浪(tāo tiān jù làng, gigantic waves).
The two-headed dragon wagged its head and tail, turning into a dragon shadow, directly closing in and entangling the Xuan Turtle, constantly tearing and attacking.
At this time, the Xuan Turtle faced the two-headed dragon and hissed lowly, seeming quite fearful, and its aura also weakened a lot. It actually turned its head and ran away into the distance.
The two-headed dragon's momentum was high, with a tendency to kill this beast on the spot.
But after a moment, after the Xuan Turtle had moved thousands of miles away, the two-headed dragon howled unwillingly a few times, and its figure gradually became illusory, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
This two-headed dragon, which seemed to have extraordinary power, was actually formed by the fusion of the two spiritual forces from earlier. It did have the ability to kill desolate beasts at the Nascent Soul level.
However, this was just an attack transformed from the restrictions left by the ancient cultivators on the Nine Dragon Wall. If in ancient times, ancient cultivators controlled the formation, they naturally would not have allowed this Xuan Turtle to escape.
But now, the giant dragon formed by spiritual power is just the Nine Dragon Wall's autonomous protection.
Once a desolate beast at the Nascent Soul level approaches, this layer of formation restriction will start automatically. But once it detects that there are no beasts of this level within a thousand miles, it will dissipate on its own. This is quite a helpless situation.
This situation actually does not happen very often. Few cultivators entering the Abyss Secret Realm can see this situation.
Zhang Ling was one of the unlucky ones, and he just happened to run into this situation today.
Let's talk about the Xuan Turtle. After escaping thousands of miles away, it sank directly to the bottom of the sea. The Xuan Turtle swam even faster in the sea. After an unknown amount of time, it arrived at a dark and lightless seabed.
The seabed was crisscrossed with gullies, and there were many sea trenches. The Xuan Turtle swam in this dark seabed for a while, and a strange black light appeared in front of it.
The light was actually a huge crack in the seabed, like a huge eye embedded in the seabed. Logically speaking, black light should not be visible in the dark seabed, but the crack flickered with a dark spiritual light, illuminating an area.
This strange crack was extremely wide and long, appearing to be at least a dozen miles wide. One could not see the end at a glance. It was an unknown length, just from a strange seabed crack.
At this moment, dozens of red fish darted out from it.
Each of these large fish was two to three zhang long, covered with scarlet scales. Only their heads were extremely large, with many black bumps on them, from which some ghostly blue spiritual light flickered from time to time. If a cultivator were here, they would notice that this was a group of third- and fourth-order sea beasts.
The Xuan Turtle opened its mouth wide and instantly devoured this group of sea beasts. Afterwards, this beast slowly paddled through the water and squeezed into this sea seam emitting a strange black light, disappearing without a trace.
This seabed crack was like a light gate, leading to another area.
