Chapter 273 - Bait



Chapter 273: Bait

Ye Chen looked up into the sky and saw the giant sea turtle chasing after the Soul Pearl, which was coming toward his direction. With a deep grunt, the gold-armored soldier materialized once again and wielded its sword, and charged toward the giant sea turtle.

“Master, run!” Inside the Soul Pearl, Little Wingsy urged nervously, jumping around.

“The giant sea turtle is way too fast. Master isn’t going to make it. Little Wingsy, get out of here. If I’m eaten by the giant sea turtle, you make sure to bury me properly.” The elder in the Soul Pearl frowned.

“Master, am I supposed to pick up the giant sea turtle’s poop?” Little Wingsy asked, blinking blankly as he looked at the elder.

The elder thought about it and sighed. “Forget it, just let me be buried in the ocean.”

“Master, I’m going to take down the giant sea turtle!” With a “whoosh”, Little Wingsy exited from the Soul Pearl. He transformed into a gigantic Winged Serpent spanning slightly over three hundred meters. His body was wrapped in a black flame and steel blades danced around him.

Sword Hill Inferno!

Steel blades enveloped in black flame covered the skies and rained down on the giant sea turtle.

When the giant sea turtle saw him, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the black flames along with the steel knives into its stomach.

It could even eat this? Little Wingsy was astounded. This sea turtle was incredible!

The giant sea turtle slammed into Little Wingsy, sending him flying about thirty meters away. It continued to stubbornly chase after the Soul Pearl.

“Oh my god!” The elder was so scared that even his brows jumped up. The Soul Pearl kept trying to get away.

The giant sea turtle cast some unknown secret techniques. Layers of wall formed with water erupted in a radius of several thousand meters, closing them in like a cage. The water walls were covered in seals. The Soul Pearl tried several times to punch through the seals but failed. Even the roof was covered in walls of water that shielded the daylight, which only allowed tiny rays of sunlight to slip through.

Several columns of water shot upward like an agile snake toward the Soul Pearl.

When Ye Chen saw Little Wingsy, the corners of his eyes faintly turned red. It was good to see Little Wingsy again.

Ye Chen observed his surroundings. A gigantic water cage was formed with the island being its central point. It caged Ye Chen and the others along with the Soul Pearl. Was this meant what they say about “to catch a turtle in an urn”?

The gold-armored soldier’s longsword sliced down and purple flames erupted from it.

When the giant sea turtle saw the gold-armored soldier, it was visibly enraged. It extended its jaws wide open, swallowing the purple flame. Then, it shook its giant head and violently headbutted the gold-armored soldier with extreme speed.

The giant sea turtle was too fast for the gold-armored soldier to dodge. Following a deafening crash, the gold-armored soldier was pushed back as its body started losing its form.

“Big Brother Ye Chen, this sea turtle can eat anything!” Little Wingsy shouted. Being trapped in here, there was no way for the master to get away. Was he going to end up as sea turtle food? ‘The master is way too misfortunate,’ Little Wingsy thought.

Little Wingsy flapped his wings and charged toward the giant sea turtle again.

Ye Chen roared angrily, the gold-armored soldier thrust its palms toward the giant sea turtle. Bright rays of starlight came out of its palm.

Palm Shattering the Milky Way!

Boom boom boom!

Rays of purple sparks landed on the sea turtle’s body and exploded. The destructive power of the palm was incredible. After the purple flames had sizzled out, the giant sea turtle was completely unfazed. It was not injured in any way.

Little Wingsy also kept pounding the giant sea turtle with its tail. He could not manage to break through the giant sea turtle’s defenses.

Up in the skies, the situation was chaotic. The giant sea turtle chased after the Soul Pearl everywhere it went. All these while, Little Wingsy who had transformed into a Winged Serpent and Ye Chen’s gGold-armored soldier had endlessly tried to stop the giant sea turtle. Each time, they were sent flying away.

At the same time, on a certain part of the island.

Lin Qiu was hiding in the woods. He was hit several times by the gigantic waves. Thankfully, after he had recomposed and recovered a portion of his strength, he managed to not get swept away by the waves. When he looked up into the sky above him, he was not sure which one he should be more in awe of – the gigantic sea turtle or the Winged Serpent – which spanned up to three hundred meters.

What was going on here? What in the world was the sea turtle and why was it chasing after a black pearl? Also, what kind of mystical beast was the Winged Serpent?

Lin Qiu saw the Gold-armored Soldier repeated attempts of stopping the sea turtle and how it was sent flying away each time. He estimated that the giant sea turtle was at least top Mystique Venerable Rank, potentially even higher than that! Other than biting and tackling with its large body, it did not have any other attacks. Its defense, however, was incredible. No matter how the Winged Serpent tried to attack the giant sea turtle, it remained unfazed. In terms of defense, the giant sea turtle probably could rival a Daemon King.

Lin Qiu thought about killing Ye Chen several times. When he thought about it, in his current state with his destroyed longbow and his injuries, it would be better to wait and see what happened. Ye Chen, who was battling with the giant sea turtle was weakened. If he suffered some injuries, then it would be the perfect time to strike. Another thing that worried him was that the gigantic Winged Serpent that seemed to know Ye Chen.

This further unsettled Lin Qiu. What sort of background did Ye Chen have?

In the entire Great Eastern Continent, there were plenty of powerful forces apart from the Tribunal Council. There were clans with ancient blood flowing in their vines and there were several Daemon King palaces. There were also secret hidden sects and families. So far, there were still no other forces that had directly opposed the Tribunal Council but the Tribunal Council could not afford to simply anger these forces either.

The best-case scenario was to be able to slip away from Ye Chen and the rest of them. He could investigate Ye Chen’s history in the future then decide how to deal with him. However, it was not possible to get away now either since he was also locked in the gigantic water cage.

After enduring three blows from the giant sea turtle, Ye Chen’s gold-armored soldier finally burst with a loud explosion and vanished without a trace. Ye Chen felt a pain in his chest. His face turned pale. From the corner of his mouth, a trace of blood spilled out.

“This sea turtle that materialized from Celestial Martial Chi doesn’t have many offensive abilities. But it could eat anything and has ridiculous defense. Even if a Daemon King was here, it would still not be able to easily break through the sea turtle’s defense!” Ye Chen said after a moment.

The Purple-fire Astra Lion’s voice came from the Heavenly Astra Seal “Brat, as you aren’t there, there’s no way that you’re going to break through Celestial Martial Chi’s defenses. Only your Flying Dagger stands a chance to break through it. However, Celestial Martial Chi is a World Spirit Creature. Even if you manage to break through its defense, it’s still no use. Its body is just raw Chi.”

“Is there no other way to defeat it?” Ye Chen asked, frowning.

“I wouldn’t say there’s no way to do so.” The Purple-fire Astra Lion stayed silent for a moment.

“How?”

“If you suppress it with strength above that of a Daemon King, you can forcibly transmute it using Celestial Chi!” the Purple-fire Astra Lion answered.

“That’s not realistic. My power is far below Daemon King Rank.”

“There’s something in your armguard that even I fear.”

“What is it?” Ye Chen was startled.

“The Heavenly Astra Master Seal!”

“Master Seal?” Ye Chen suddenly remembered. “Master Lion, just what kind of mystical beast is sealed within the Heavenly Astra Master Seal? In the past, I tried to enter Master Seal but I was expelled by the energy inside and I nearly lost my life.”

“What’s sealed inside isn’t a mystical beast but I can’t tell you what it is yet. What I can tell you is that the Heavenly Astra Master Seal is extremely powerful. If you can use your Astral Body to enter the Heavenly Astra Master Seal, the energy that will be unleashed from within is powerful enough to suppress the Celestial Martial Chi.”

“But I can’t control that power. It’s too strong for me. If I use my Astral Body to enter the Heavenly Astra Master Seal, even I’d be in harm’s way,” Ye Chen said. He recalled his previous attempt of entering the Heavenly Astra Master Seal and how he was thrown out of it. The thought of it made him shudder. That energy could have easily killed him!

“I don’t know much about how it works either so you’ll have to figure it out yourself. I gave you a solution and you’ll have to figure out how to do it!” the Purple-fire Astra Lion replied.

Ye Chen frowned as he looked up into the sky. Little Wingsy was covered in bruises attempting to stop the giant sea turtle but he was determined in stopping it.

Even though Little Wingsy had always been playful, deep inside, he was a very sentimental person just like Ye Chen. The elder inside the Soul Pearl had taught Little Wingsy of the cultivation systems and martial art techniques so he was Little Wingsy’s master. Even if he had to die for it, Little Wingsy would not just abandon his master.

“For Little Wingsy, I’m going all out!” Ye Chen looked up at the giant sea turtle, his eyes were filled with unwavering determination. He opened his left palm. The Heavenly Astra Seal floated on his extended palms as purple flames shot up. “Master Lion, sorry about this!”

“Hey hey hey, little brat, you can’t use me as bait!” the Purple-fire Astra Lion jumped and yelled in panic.

The Heavenly Astra Seal continuously bounced up and down, purple flames erupted from it.

The giant sea turtle seemed to have sensed something, it suddenly stopped in the air for a moment. It looked at the Soul Pearl, then it looked at the Heavenly Astra Seal on Ye Chen’s palm. It had been chasing after the Soul Pearl that was as slippery as a pond loach for so long but could not catch the pearl no matter what. It was getting frustrated at this point. When it saw the Heavenly Astra Seal, its attention was locked onto it. At that moment, it did not pay much attention to Ye Chen but it suddenly noticed there was the scent of two treasures coming from Ye Chen’s body which drew it closer. It immediately sped up, charging down toward Ye Chen.

“Oh my God, thank the heavens!” The elder inside the Soul Pearl wiped away the sweat from his forehead, forgetting that he was a spirit body and cannot even sweat in the first place.

The giant sea turtle rushed downward.

Little Wingsy looked down at Ye Chen and noticed the Heavenly Astra Seal that silently floated above Ye Chen’s left palm. Even Little Wingsy who had always been slow immediately realized that Big Brother Ye Chen was planning to use the Heavenly Astra Seal as bait to lure the giant sea turtle away! The corner of Little Wingsy’s eyes turned red. He threw his body at the giant sea turtle with all his might.

“Bang!”

A loud explosion followed and Little Wingsy’s body viciously slammed into the giant sea turtle. With Little Wingsy’s furious blow on top of his Daemon King tier body, the destructiveness was unbelievable.

Still, even with Little Wingsy’s ferocious attack, the giant sea turtle was barely fazed by it.

The giant sea turtle was enraged. It opened its mouth and shot a gigantic mass of water that slammed into Little Wingsy. Little Wingsy was sent flying away.

After it blasted Little Wingsy away, the giant sea turtle went after Ye Chen again.

Its body spanned more than thirty meters. With its jaws wide open, it came down on Ye Chen.
