Chapter 2326: Black Tortoise Dharma Image

Wang Changsheng had gone to the Barren Land; perhaps he had captured a powerful spiritual beast, though it was hard to say for sure.

They kept their distance, observing the Qilin Turtle as it attempted to advance to the sixth-tier.

Unlike cultivators, monster beasts advancing to the sixth-tier follow a different path; human cultivators typically need to achieve the unity of the five elements.

The sky above Qinglian Island vibrated and twisted, as countless blue water vapors emerged. These vapors transformed into clumps of blue clouds that converged towards the Qilin Turtle. High in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with thick bolts of lightning tearing through the firmament, creating an astonishing spectacle.

This phenomenon caught the attention of many clan members, who emerged from their dwellings and looked on from higher ground towards the Qilin Turtle's location.

“Do you think Venerable Qilin can advance to the sixth-tier? I heard it’s not easy for spiritual beasts to reach the sixth-tier.”

“Venerable Qilin isn’t an ordinary spiritual beast; I think it’ll be fine.”

“Heh heh, if Venerable Qilin advances to the sixth-tier, it can take us to hunt sixth-tier monster beasts.”

“There’s also another spiritual beast attempting to reach the sixth-tier; I wonder if it will succeed.”

“It should be the ancestor’s spiritual beast; I think it’ll be fine.”

Numerous clan members chatted excitedly, their faces filled with anticipation.

If they gained two more sixth-tier spiritual beasts, the family's strength would significantly increase, especially with the Qilin Turtle.

The Qilin Turtle occasionally ventured out to hunt monster beasts, and any leftovers it couldn't consume, it would drag back to the Wang family for the disciples.

In the void, countless golden spiritual lights emerged, forming a massive golden vortex that floated high in the sky.

The Qilin Turtle's body glowed with brilliant blue light, and a streak of blue light shot out from within it. A massive phantom of the Black Tortoise appeared high in the sky, and as soon as it materialized, it let out a resounding roar.

The seawater in the vicinity of Qinglian Island suddenly churned violently, stirring up thousands of colossal waves tens of thousands of zhang high. The towering waves were immense, creating an astonishing display of power.

Thousands of these towering waves completely encircled Qinglian Island, appearing as if they could crash down at any moment and shatter it to pieces.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Wang family members were filled with both surprise and delight.

When a monster beast advances to the sixth-tier, its spiritual manifestation reveals its evolutionary direction.

“The Black Tortoise!”

Wang Mengbin took a deep breath, his face etched with envy.

The Qilin Turtle’s spiritual manifestation was the Black Tortoise, indicating it was evolving in that direction. No wonder its divine abilities were so formidable.

Dense blue cloud clusters gathered above the Black Tortoise phantom, condensing into a massive blue vortex. The blue vortex spun rapidly, as specks of blue light rained down onto the phantom. The Black Tortoise phantom absorbed all of it, shimmering with spiritual energy.

After a while, the Black Tortoise phantom dissipated, and loud thunder boomed.

The Qilin Turtle let out an excited roar, and countless blue electric arcs pulsed across its body.

A deafening thunderclap echoed from high above, as a thick silver lightning bolt tore through the sky and struck the Qilin Turtle’s shell, where it was immediately absorbed.

It had refined a Lightning Absorption Pearl, rendering ordinary lightning strikes completely harmless to it.

Thunder roared incessantly as thick bolts of lightning struck down one after another, landing on the Qilin Turtle's shell and vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, in a valley shrouded by golden mist, a massive golden vortex appeared directly above it.

A golden light shot out from within the valley, blurring before transforming into a gigantic ant phantom.

After the golden vortex churned violently, large golden raindrops poured down, making the ant phantom shimmer with spiritual light.

Not long after, the ant phantom dispersed.

Compared to the Black Tortoise phantom, the spiritual manifestation of the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen appeared quite ordinary.

After a rumbling thunderclap, a thick silver lightning bolt tore through the sky and plunged into the valley.

The Gold-Devouring Ant Queen lay on the ground, its body shimmering with golden light. As the silver lightning struck it, a muffled thud echoed, and blinding silver lightning engulfed the ant queen.

Two colossal thunderclouds hovered above Qinglian Island, flashing with lightning and roaring with thunder as thick bolts of lightning struck down.

As time passed, most clan members remained focused on the Qilin Turtle, with relatively few paying attention to the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen.

After roughly fifteen minutes, both thunderclouds had shrunk to only about a hundred zhang in size.

Amidst a series of deafening thunderclaps, the two thunderclouds churned violently, transforming into a silver lightning python and a silver lightning leopard, respectively. They then lunged towards the Qilin Turtle and the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen.

The Qilin Turtle let out a loud roar, its body erupting with blue light and countless blue electric arcs. It opened its gaping maw and spat out several thick blue lightning bolts, which pierced straight through the silver lightning python's body.

With a tremendous crash, the silver lightning python’s body exploded, transforming into a silver sun a hundred thousand zhang in diameter that enveloped most of the Qilin Turtle’s massive form.

Simultaneously, a colossal silver sun rose within the valley, generating surging waves of energy.

After a while, both silver suns dissipated. The Qilin Turtle lay on the lake's surface, its shell displaying minor, almost imperceptible cracks.

The Qilin Turtle's defense was already formidable, and after refining the Lightning Absorption Pearl, lightning-type spells inflicted even less damage upon it.

The valley had been leveled by the immense power, revealing a colossal pit tens of thousands of zhang in diameter. There was no sign of the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen within it.

Wang family cultivators arrived to investigate but found no trace of the Gold-Devouring Ant Queen. Evidently, she had been utterly annihilated.

Wang Mengbin and Bai Yuqi immediately flew over, preparing to set up a formation with their flags and array plates.

The Qilin Turtle paid them no mind, letting out a loud roar as the colossal waves continued to crash down.

It transformed into a blue streak of light and flew away from Qinglian Island.

“Quick, follow it! Don’t let any monster beasts harm Venerable Qilin.”

Wang Qingcheng quickly gave the order for a team of clan members to follow.

The Qilin Turtle had just advanced to the sixth-tier and was still relatively weak.

Wang Gonghu swiftly followed, surmising that the Qilin Turtle likely needed to feed to replenish its vital energy.

Bai Yuqi swiftly completed the formation setup, while Wang Mengbin retrieved a massive thunder pearl enveloped in electric arcs and placed it in the center of the array.

Rumbling thunder echoed from high above, as hundreds of thick lightning bolts tore through the sky, flashing and roaring.

Before long, a colossal thundercloud abruptly appeared above them, revealing countless silver lightning serpents writhing within.

Wang Mengbin frowned, his gaze solemn.

Bai Yuqi chanted several incantations into a shimmering silver array plate, causing the formation to shake violently and countless array patterns to glow brightly.

A heaven-shaking thunderclap echoed from high above, as thousands of lightning bolts swept across the sky. The incessant thunder made it seem as if the sky had transformed into a sea of lightning.

After a while, Wang Mengbin walked to the center of the formation. As he performed a hand seal, his body erupted with brilliant silver light, emitting countless silver electric arcs. From a distance, he resembled a thunder god.

A thick silver lightning bolt struck down, and upon contact with the silver light, it instantly dispersed, transforming into countless silver electric arcs that enveloped Wang Mengbin.

As time passed, silver lightning bolts continued to strike down.

Bai Yuqi’s delicate brows furrowed as she intently watched the thundercloud high above.

After roughly fifteen minutes, the thundercloud churned violently, and countless blue electric arcs surged forth, revealing strands of blue lightning snakes.

“Divine Kui Water Thunder!”

Bai Yuqi was filled with both surprise and delight as she quickly performed a hand seal.

After the thundercloud churned violently, two thick blue lightning spears descended from the heavens, striking towards Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin dared not be careless. He changed his incantation, and his body burst forth with dazzling silver light, covering an area of ten thousand zhang around him.

With them at the center, a hundred-li radius transformed into a forbidden zone. Countless white mists surged from the ground, obscuring the view of other clan members. Most only saw the thunderclouds and lightning, unaware of Wang Mengbin’s actions.
