Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension
Chapter 1696 - 910: Dragon Turtle Lays Eggs, Sea God Awakens
Three days later, in a void billions of miles away from the Great Sun Fire Sea, a cluster of clear light slowly flew toward the surface of the Great Sun.
However, every time the clear light crossed a certain invisible boundary, a vast and boundless spiritual storm swept from the direction of the Great Sun, instantly casting the clear light billions of miles away.
After being swept away several times, the clear light suddenly transformed into a green-robed youth with ruby lips and white teeth, handsome in appearance.
Who else could it be but Mu Zha!
Mu Zha turned his head to look at the fiery Great Sun billions of miles away, his eyes filled with a sense of loss and unwillingness.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng quietly appeared beside him, raised his hand to touch his head, and said with a smile, "Give it up this time."
"Master, why did that group of stupid turtles forcibly occupy the sun? I’m just picking my treasures and didn’t interfere with their business, why did they forcefully drive me away!
Hmph, they are truly overbearing. Master, maybe you can chase them away."
Mu Zha complained with resentment, trying to tug on Zhao Sheng’s sleeve, hoping for his master to take action.
Zhao Sheng forced a bitter smile, pulled his sleeve out, then patted Mu Zha’s little head, smiling bittersweetly, "Your master doesn’t have that kind of capability!"
As he spoke, he pointed to those large black spots wandering about in the Great Sun Fire Sea, continuing, "See them! At least half of them are Dragon Turtles, even your master can’t defeat them.
Especially the largest one; a hundred of me piled together wouldn’t be enough for it to swallow in one bite."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zha’s head drooped instantly, his expression disheartened and dejected.
Zhao Sheng wasn’t lying to him, the fact was that as long as the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle exceeded thirty thousand miles in size, its true strength was above his.
In all Universes, if one were to compare the strengths of Integration Realm Great Powers, the simplest method is to look at the size of their respective Grotto Heavens.
A larger Grotto Heaven often indicates stronger strength. A smaller Grotto Heaven suggests weaker average strength.
This principle holds true for the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan.
Those Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles exceeding one hundred thousand miles have strength definitely not inferior to the average early-stage Integration Realm Great Powers.
.
And those Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles generally around a million miles can almost be considered an Integration Realm Peak Human Clan Great Power.
One must know that the diameter of a Grotto Heaven within an Integration Realm Peak Great Power is typically around a million miles.
Simply comparing their "mass," the two are almost comparable.
Before them, the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan numbered over three hundred, with many exceeding a million miles in size.
The diameter of that Dragon Turtle Commander even exceeded ten million miles, having already reached the level of quantitative change causing qualitative change.
Mu Zha, being a Primordial Yang Spirit Treasure, had strength equivalent to a newly ascended Integration Realm Human Clan Great Power.
Yet it couldn’t withstand even a mere spiritual storm, let alone stand against the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle.
Mu Zha had overestimated the strength of his master.
In fact, even if a Tribulation Crossing Venerable were to face that Dragon Turtle leader, they’d still have to hide billions of miles away obediently.
......
Several months flew by.
On a Dead Star closest to the crimson Great Sun, where the surface was covered in scorching hot lava, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged ten thousand feet in the air, his eyes glowing with divine light, continuously observing the crimson Great Sun billions of miles away.
Over the months, he witnessed this unimaginably large Sun becoming dimmer bit by bit.
A mortal couldn’t fathom the existence of such super life forms as the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles, nor imagine that the Sun, representing eternity, would gradually extinguish.
At that moment, the "black flares" on the Great Sun’s surface had more than tripled in size.
The Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan seemed like a group of creatures devouring the Sun, continuously absorbing the light and heat released by the Great Sun from the boundless Fire Sea.
Because of the rapid absorption, the scorching Fire Sea became dim piece by piece.
From afar, it looked like a group of black flares slowly expanding, seemingly trying to devour the Sun bit by bit.
The Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle traveled across the Star Domain for billions of Constant Years, already having consumed a tremendous amount of Primordial Qi.
After returning to their Ancestral Land, they had to crazily absorb the Great Sun’s light and heat to replenish their Primordial Qi.
The early return phase was the weakest stage for the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles, which explained the Dragon Turtle leader’s vigilance.
As time slowly passed, a decade after the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles returned, the Sun finally stopped dimming further; it now appeared somewhat dark red.
Viewed from the Red Sea Realm, the dark red Great Sun emanated a very ominous feeling.
A decade later, the Human Clan in this realm was near extinction, with those alive being Human Clan Cultivators, numbering no more than ten thousand.
Zhao Sheng naturally didn’t care about the life and death of the Human Clan here; he was only concerned that after a decade of recuperation, the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan had finally restored their Primordial Qi.
In the eleventh year after their return, some "young" Dragon Turtles, around a million miles in diameter, suddenly became extraordinarily active, occasionally leaping from the Fire Sea, mooing at their companions repeatedly.
Half a month later, when the first pair of male and female Dragon Turtles suddenly found attraction to each other, the mating season of the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan finally commenced.
Soon, the second pair of male and female Dragon Turtles began to frolic and quickly entered mating.
To Zhao Sheng’s surprise, the mating of the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle clan was also very unique.
Their mating didn’t require physical contact but rather divine soul merging, or "divine mating."
During "divine mating," the male and female Dragon Turtles would submerge into the depths of the Great Sun, almost invisible throughout the entire mating process.
Zhao Sheng attempted several times to observe closely, but each time was forced back by an irresistible spiritual storm.
