Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 668

A peculiar yet unexplainable power filled the area at that instant.

The poison that was controlled by the poisonous pillʼs spirit became stronger. As it got involved in more fights, its skill improved extremely fast.

As at this moment, under the spiritʼs control, the poisonous gas was released and spread such that it invaded the lizards' bodies. Nonetheless, the poisonous gas did not immediately burst out as they merely lurked inside their bodies without affecting them at all.

Many of the lizards went all-out to fight Ou Yangming and the big lazy turtle, but they did not notice anything unusual about their bodies.

It was when the lizards started to make movements, the poisons in their bodies slowly penetrated their cells.

Upon receiving Ou Yangmingʼs order, the poisonous pillʼs spirit, which was attached to one of the formation boards, twitched its body suddenly as though it was a signal that caused the poisons in the lizardsʼ bodies to explode.

It was soundless, but the lizards that were secretly expanding the fighting zone were startled at the same time.

Following that, their legs began to go weak. In fact, the half-spirit lizards even fell to the ground as they found it hard to maintain their balance.

The low-rank and high-rank lizards did not have it any better. Their legs also became jelly, and their bodies shook as if they would collapse at any time as their comrades did.

Ou Yangming and the big lazy turtle looked at each other because even they did not expect the bursting of the poisons to be so shocking.

In actuality, this was not the first time the poisonous pillʼs spirit released poisonous gas, but Ou Yangming only targeted the high-rank lizards before this. Those high-rank lizards were not only formidable, but their innate ability to resist poison was also far from what ordinary lizards could compare.

The poisons were not instantly effective when they were used against the high-rank lizards, where other tricks had to be employed as well to eliminate them.

On the other hand, when the poisonous gas spread among the low-rank lizards, it was 10 times more effective.

Seeing as the lizards spun and pa.s.sed out without needing them to make a move at all, Ou Yangming and the big lazy turtle knew they had accomplished their target.

“Roar…”

The big lazy turtle let out a cruel roar. It shifted its enormous body and trampled the middle-rank lizards.

If the lizards were not poisoned, the big lazy turtle would definitely be harmed if they joined hands. Nevertheless, they crawled strenuously at the moment without being able to resist at all.

As for Ou Yangming, he flashed and targeted the low-rank spirit beasts.

He crushed them with his mental power, stabbed them with his spear, and slashed them with his saber mercilessly.

In just a brief moment, any lizards that could still move around were wiped out by them.

Perhaps the strong smell of blood triggered the big lazy turtleʼs hidden violence, it took powerful strides around to bite all of the lizards to their deaths. Regardless if the lizards were poisoned or not, it gave them a fatal attack ruthlessly.

Ou Yangming looked around. He somehow calmed down when he saw the b.l.o.o.d.y scene.

His attempt to settle the blood feud for the humans from the towns was halfway down.

The big lazy turtle finally stopped and checked out its surroundings, but it could not find new targets anymore.

It glanced at Ou Yangming and clacked its mouth. It was still full of killing intent, but it dared not vent it on the young fellow at all.

After a moment of hesitation, the big lazy turtle expressed, “Master Ou, leave half of the carca.s.ses here for me.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. “Why do you want these carca.s.ses?”

“I can use them as nourishments for the spiritual flowers and herbs so that theyʼll flourish more!” The big lazy turtleʼs killing intent slowly went away, but it cast a covetous look at the carca.s.ses.

Those were dead bodies of half-spirit beasts and even spirit beasts. Normally, it would not be able to acquire so many of them.

Ou Yangming grinned and asked, “They were all poisoned to their deaths. Arenʼt you afraid that the flowers and herbs will be poisoned too?”

The big lazy turtle smiled and answered, “Master Ou, donʼt worry, I can clean up the poisons.”

“Okay, you can take half of them,” Ou Yangming noted after some thought.

The lazy turtle did not hold back at all; it moved its humongous body and tossed half of the dead lizards onto its broad back. It really took only half of them, and it even separated them according to their cultivation bases.

Half of the middle-rank lizards, half of the low-rank ones, and half of the half-spirit beasts.

Once the lazy turtle took its share, it said, “Master Ou, you should keep the rest of the carca.s.ses too; we should clean up the scene. Now that so many lizards have died, Ghost-clawed Venerable One will surely be alarmed, so we must clean up this place as much as we can without leaving any clues.”

Ou Yangming curled his lips. He knew very well that even if he and the big lazy turtle cleaned up the scene perfectly without leaving a single trace, Ghost-clawed Venerable One would still not let him go.

Even so, this was the lazy turtleʼs good intention, hence he would not refuse it.

After gathering the remaining half of the corpses and keeping them in his interspatial bag, Ou Yangming took back the formation boards and watched coldly on the side.

The big lazy turtle took a deep breath, then it breathed out at the area in front of it.

It breathed out spiritual gas, but they turned into water the instant they contacted the air in the outside world, and the water flooded toward the fight scene endlessly.

Ou Yangmingʼs face chanced. The lazy turtle had never performed this innate skill before. Even during their fight in the lower realm, it never showed it.

He could not help but sigh when he sensed the notable auras released by the flooding water. Had the lazy turtle went all-out back then, Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei would have ended up in the water and became its dinner.

Needless to say, the lower realm and the Spiritual Realm were different.

The big lazy turtle could perform its innate abilities without any restraint in the Spiritual Realm because this place was abundant in the universeʼs spiritual power. Even if its consumption was high, its loss could be compensated for very quickly.

On the opposite, in the lower realm where there was a lack of the universeʼs spiritual power, once the lazy turtle consumed too much power, it would be a heavy burden for its body. Therefore, unless it was necessary, whether it was the turtle, Multi-armed King Kong, or the others, they would restrain themselves from releasing their innate abilities.

“Boom…”

An enormous water current washed the fight scene, then it flowed away and slowly a.s.similated into the distance before it disappeared.

Ou Yangming could not help but exclaim when he glanced.

He finally understood why the big lazy turtle was so confident. It turned out that its innate skill had an unimaginable ability indeed.

The fight scene looked on the young fellow.

After a moment of hesitation, the big lazy turtle said, “Master Ou, give me half of the carca.s.ses here.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. “Why do you want them?”

“I can use them as fertilizers for the spiritual flowers and herbs so that they'll flourish more!” The killing intent in the big lazy turtle's eyes was slowly fading, but it cast a covetous look at the carca.s.ses.

Those were the dead bodies of half-spirit beasts and even spirit beasts. Even for the lazy turtle, it would be difficult for it to obtain so many of them normally.

Ou Yangming grinned and asked, “They were poisoned to death, so aren't you afraid that the flowers and herbs will be poisoned too?”

The big lazy turtle smiled brightly and answered, “Master Ou, don't worry, I'll get rid of the poisons.”

“Alright, you should take half of them,” Ou Yangming noted after some thought.

The lazy turtle did not hold back at all, by which it shifted its humongous body and tossed half of the dead lizards onto its broad back. It took half of the lizards indeed, and it even portioned them according to their cultivation bases.

Half of the middle-rank lizards, half of the low-rank ones, and half of the half-spirit beasts.

Once the turtle finished portioning them, it said to Ou Yangming seriously, “Master Ou, you should keep these carca.s.ses too. It's time for us to clean up the scene. Now that so many lizards have died, Ghost-clawed Venerable One will be alerted for sure, so we must clean up as much as we can without leaving any clues for it.”

Ou Yangming curled his lips. He knew very well that even if the big lazy turtle settled everything perfectly without leaving a single trace behind, Ghost-clawed Venerable One would not let him go.

Even so, it was the big lazy turtle's good intention, hence he would not refuse it.

After gathering the remaining carca.s.ses and keeping them in his interspatial bag, Ou Yangming took back the formation boards and watched aside coldly.

The big lazy turtle took a deep breath, then it breathed out to the area in front of it.

It exhaled spiritual Qi, but the Qi turned into a flood the instant it contacted the air in the outside world. The water gushed toward the battlefield without an end.

Ou Yangming's face changed because the spirit turtle never performed this innate skill before. Even when they fought in the lower realm in the past, it never showed it.

The young fellow could not help but sigh when he sensed the forceful aura released by the unending flood. If the big lazy turtle had gone all-out back then, Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei would have fallen into the water and became its dinner.

Needless to say, the lower realm and the Spiritual Realm were different.

In the Spiritual Realm, the big lazy turtle could perform its innate ability without any restraint because the realm was abundant in the universe's spiritual power. Even if its consumption was high, the power could be replenished very quickly.

On the opposite, in the lower realm where there was a lack of the universe's spiritual power, once the big lazy turtle consumed too much power, it would be a heavy burden for its body. Therefore, unless it was necessary, whether it was the lazy turtle, Multi-armed King Kong, or the others, they would control themselves as much as possible to not use their innate abilities.

“Boom…”

A ma.s.sive water current surged abruptly and cleansed the fight scene. It later flowed away and slowly seeped into the ground in the distance and vanished.

Ou Yangming could not help but exclaim when he took a glance.

He finally understood why the big lazy turtle was so confident; it turned out that its innate skill was unimaginably wonderful.

The scene looked completely new after it was cleansed by the floor as every blood trace and the marks from the fight were erased.

Moreover, the collapsed ground was flattened, and the broken branches were washed away. Most importantly, due to the cleanse, all of the auras left on the scene disappeared.

If Ou Yangming had not experienced the fight himself, when he looked at this area, he would not have imagined that many powerhouses had died here.

He looked deeply at the big lazy turtle and wondered, 'How many more abilities of this lazy fella have I not discovered?'

As soon as the lazy turtle was done cleaning up, it looked lazy again, and its eyes seemed to look blurry too.

“Master Ou, I'm done here, so can I go back?”

Ou Yangming retrieved the Long Feather Band and hesitated for a while before he asked, “Lazy turtle, “Are you not comfortable after having stayed inside all these while? Would you like to travel with us?”

It was certainly unreliable to keep such a potent high-rank spirit beast inside the Long Feather Band's s.p.a.ce. Perhaps one day when the big lazy turtle unleashed its pent-up dissatisfactions, it would cause Ou Yangming inconceivable damage.

To prevent that from happening, Ou Yangming could compromise and take a step back.

Who knew, the big lazy turtle shook its head and looked at him in confusion. “Why would I be uncomfortable?”

“Uhm…” Ou Yangming frowned as he found it hard to explain himself.

The big lazy turtle opened its mouth and yawned. “I haven't gone mad, so I won't run around with you instead of having good sleep.” It paused for a while before it added, “We agreed that these spiritual flowers and herbs belong to me even if you don't want to bring me along anymore!”

Seeing how wary it was, Ou Yangming was speechless.

It looked like every race had their way of living. The young fellow thought, 'Looks like it's pointless for me to talk about this with the lazy turtle; we're not on the same channel.'

Ou Yangming waved his hand and replied to the turtle, “Don't worry, I don't mean to violate our agreement at all. Uhm… You may go back.”

A white light flashed as the big lazy turtle was sent into the Long Feather Band's s.p.a.ce. When Ou Yangming scanned the s.p.a.ce with his mental conception, he noticed that the fellow closed its eyes and slept soundly once it settled down.

On its back, the dead bodies of the poisoned lizards slowly dissolved automatically. It seemed like the big lazy turtle's instinct could handle everything while it was asleep.

Ou Yangming was amazed as he withdrew his mental conception.

His face slowly turned cold when he looked at the battlefield once more.

The accomplices had been killed, so the ones left were the culprits.

Ou Yangming identified the direction and sensed the message in his mind, then he flashed and ran into the distance.

The area became quiet again, and it was exceptionally silent, such that insect squeaks and bird chirps could not be heard anymore.

However, a gigantic figure suddenly flew over from afar after roughly 10 days.

An overwhelming, fearsome aura crushed down as though it was substantial. As such, the entire forest was ruled by the aura and became dead silent.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One—the mighty lizard finally left its lair and found this place.

That said, everything had been cleaned up by the big lazy turtle through its innate ability, thus even a powerful Venerable One could not find anything useful.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One kept quiet for a long time. At last, it scoffed furiously and got off the ground, then it charged toward the endless s.p.a.ce in the distance with its unequaled momentum. The moment it left, its frightening power spread and bombed the whole forest into ruins.
