Chapter 1835: To Cut A Dragon Turtle With A Giant Axe

Rumble rumble rumble...

There was nothing in this space, and yet the entire world was shaking and groaning from this power. Even the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle’s impenetrable shell was making loud, grinding noises as countless cracks appeared at the areas where it had been attacked before. It wasn’t long before entire chunks of outer scales broke, shattered, and peeled off the surface of the shell!

A small amount of ink green blood was seeping through the cracks as well.

However, the core defense of the turtle shell remained firm. Glimmering darkly under the shattered outer scale, the inner scale ultimately withstood the titanic pressure without trouble.

“Hahahaha... cough! Cough...”

The Earthbearing Dragon Turtle laughed arrogantly despite a few awkward coughs here and there. “Is this your plan? You think you can break me with this leftover power? The Earthly Sovereign might have been the one who left behind this mountain, but it had also depleted its strength a long, long time ago! Try all you want, but you still won’t be able to harm me in the slightest!”

“What’s the hurry? I’m just starting.”

Ye Qing said indifferently and emotionlessly, “Besides, I never expected this mountain to crush you to death. All I want it to do is to keep you from moving.”

“Hmph! Stop pretending and admit that you’re out of ideas already!” The Earthbearing Dragon Turtle taunted. However, for whatever reason, a strong sense of unease and even fear were creeping into its heart after he heard Ye Qing’s words.

The Earthbearing Dragon Turtle had lived for countless ages. Therefore, its danger senses were far superior to most beings. Ye Qing’s unnatural calmness had made it feel threatened like never before.

“You will know very soon if I am pretending.”

Ye Qing stopped wasting his breath on the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle and flipped his palm upward. There was a golden flash, and a golden, old-style axe gleaming with unprecedented sharpness appeared in his hand.

Geng metal qi was flowing erratically along the axe. Its vicious aura seemed capable of cutting anything and everything. It was none other than the Geng Metal Divine Axe!

As soon as the divine axe appeared, it immediately swelled in size as dazzling golden light flowed along its form like water. In just the blink of an eye, the axe that was only as long as a human’s arm had grown three hundred meters and gained a blade that was as wide as a gate!

The axe floated dangerously above Ye Qing’s head, emitting ten thousand golden rays and a thousand rainbow beams. Images of nothingness and primal chaos were reflected above the axe’s blade, and its impossibly sharp qi was naturally carving up the surrounding space without trying. To say that the soft yet unmissable noise of shredding was disturbing would be a gross understatement. It felt like nothingness itself could be cut into two.

Expression grave, Ye Qing slowly raised his hands and gripped the handle of the cold giant axe firmly.

A three-hundred-meter-tall giant was wielding a three-hundred-meter-long giant axe.

At that moment, it was as if Ye Qing had transformed into an ancient, world-creating deity. Explosive sharpness washed out of his body and shot straight to the firmaments!

The killing intent in Ye Qing’s eyes was practically tangible as they gathered and gathered some more. He then glared down at the giant turtle shell that was immobilized by the five-fingered mountain.

The next moment, he swung the axe at the unbreakable shell with all his might.

As the Geng Metal Divine Axe descended, its blade cut through the void and nothingness while shining like the sun itself.

Geng metal was the embodiment of sharpness, and it was all gathered at the edge of the axe blade. It quickly formed a destructive edge of light that seemed capable of tearing even nothingness to shreds.

Wherever the blade traveled, chaotic streams were casually severed in two, and a clear and long-lasting trajectory was left behind. The pure, all-cutting qi instantly filled up this entire space and made even the Sages watching the battle from afar feel as if needles were pricking their skin. It was terrifying to say the least.

Hiding inside its turtle shell and heart hammering against its chest, the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle instinctively realized that the threat it was facing was deadly like nothing it had ever seen before. For the first time, its muffled voice was tinged with shock and panic, “What... What is this?!”

“Something that will rip the life out of you!”

The next moment, his axe swung downward!

RUUUMMMBBBBLLLEEEE...

Brimming with enough power to create a whole new world, the three-hundred-meter-long Geng Metal Divine Axe struck the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle’s infamously ageless, unbreakable, and untouchable giant shell.

Gold clashed against dark yellow, and time seemed to freeze for an instant. The next moment, something unbelievable happened.

Before, the combined attack of so many Sages and even the ferocious burning of the Earthly Sovereign Bell only managed to leave behind some marks on the shell. Not even the reactivated seal was able to threaten its integrity in any way.

However, the Geng Metal Divine Axe had cut right through the shell like it was rotten wood!

Crack! SHRED!

The ear-piercing noise echoed throughout the space of nothingness!

A terrible crack appeared where the edge of the axe had made contact with the supposedly unbreakable shell. It swiftly grew to the length of a kilometer and looked like a gnarly canyon had split open on the ground.

The thick, dark scales were easily split in two and sent flying all over the place, exposing the tougher inner shell underneath. However, not even the inner shell could block the divine axe in the slightest. It too was split in half like paper.

A bone-deep wound appeared on the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle’s back. Smelly, ink green blood that looked as sticky as lava spilled onto the axe as a matter of course. However, the blood mixed with the resentment and hatred of countless victims failed to damage the axe in any way. On the contrary, they were annihilated as soon as they made contact with its unparalleled sharp qi!

“AHHHHHHHH!”

An impossibly shrill and bloodcurdling scream erupted from inside the shell. More than anything, one could hear just how shocked and terrified the turtle was.

“No! Impossible! How is this possible?”

The Earthbearing Dragon Turtle’s voice was full of disbelieving shock and despair. “My shell... my shell is unbreakable and untouchable. Not even the legendary divine arms of ancient times could hope to damage its integrity! How... how can it possibly be cut?”

It could not understand how this was possible, much less accept it. It could not believe that the invincible defense it relied on to survive everything and even withstand the Earthly Sovereign’s seal head on could be broken so easily.

“Nothing is impossible.”

Ye Qing’s voice was just as indifferent and emotionless as before, but his grip tightened, and he kept injecting more Profound Yellow Mother Qi, strength and power into the divine axe.

As soon as he finished, he lifted the gleaming Geng Metal Divine Axe into the air and swung down on the giant crack on the turtle shell once more!

“No!”

RUMBLE!

There was another loud boom, and the second strike accurately landed on the edge of the first wound, blasting large chunks of turtle shell mixed with blood, bones, and inner scales once more. Naturally, the wound was enlarged and deepened by the attack.

The Earthbearing Dragon Turtle roared and wailed furiously against the assault. It struggled with all its might in an attempt to resist the inevitable. However, the five-fingered mountain on its back locked it firmly in place and prevented it from moving even an inch.

So, the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle could only watch and feel helplessly as the golden axe rose and fell on its back again, and again, and again.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Expressionless, Ye Qing struck the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle’s back again and again.

Every strike was accompanied by a loud boom, the cracking of a turtle’s shell, and the increasingly bleak and despairing wails of the Earthbearing Dragon Turtle.

For a time, the axe and its golden light dominated the entire space.

Innumerable cracks that resembled a spider’s web were rapidly spreading across the turtle’s shell. Entire chunks of scales were being stripped off and blasted off the turtle shell. Ink green blood dyed the space of nothingness green before it was annihilated by the energies of Geng metal.

It wasn’t long before the once impenetrable and flawless turtle shell was full of holes and leaking blood like a pincushion. It wasn’t long before the wriggling mix of charred black flesh and blood red meat underneath the broken shell was revealed.
