Primordial Star Scripture

Above the void of the Netherworld Sea.

Ye Chen gazed at the gloomy sky over the eighth Demon Tomb; the Netherworld Sea beneath appeared even more dark and sinister. He focused intently for a few moments.

Then, with a movement of his finger, a plant half a meter in length appeared between them.

This half-meter-long plant had a dark root, but on it were five sparkling silver leaves. What was even stranger was that at the tip of the plant there was a flower bud ready to bloom.

Both the dark roots and the sparkling silver leaves radiated an inexplicable divine light and were filled with mysterious patterns.

But what was most unique was the flower bud ready to bloom at the top.

The flower petals, still bundled together, totaled more than a dozen, alternating in black and white, emanating an indistinct thunderous aura.

Even at a great distance from Ye Chen, the female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect on the flying boat could feel the immense thunderous aura emanating from the plant's petals in Ye Chen's hands.

When "Fairy Luo Yun" saw Ye Chen take out the plant, her eyes lit up, "Heavenly Thunder Flower!"

"Ye Chen has actually found this item—it seems he has prepared thoroughly for the task of acquiring the 'Thunder Turtle Egg'!"

"The 'Heavenly Thunder Flower' is rumored to be the best thing to lure a Netherworld Thunder Turtle!"

As "Fairy Luo Yun" murmured to herself, Ye Chen, who had taken out the "Heavenly Thunder Flower," gently pinched the magic formula in his hand.

The half-meter-long "Heavenly Thunder Flower" plant burst forth from Ye Chen's hands and drifted towards the Netherworld Sea below.

Following that, something miraculous happened.

As it floated, the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" began to grow larger and larger.

In a moment, the original half-meter plant had morphed into dozens of meters long!

Once its roots were first planted into the water of the Netherworld Sea, the entire flower bud floated above the water. From a distance, it appeared as if this huge "Heavenly Thunder Flower" had always grown atop the Netherworld Sea.

Even more peculiar was that the entire "Heavenly Thunder Flower" plant was not stationary in the water. As soon as it fell into the Netherworld Sea, the entire plant began to spin.

With the spinning, the bud of the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" that was meant to bloom began to unfurl, petal by petal!

The flower, now dozens of meters wide, with its petals alternating black and white, let out a piercing sound as they unfurled and released an inexplicable divine fragrance. Instantly, from the "Heavenly Thunder Flower," the fragrance started sweeping around!

At the same time, a shocking divine light surged right above the flower, reaching up to the heavens, which began to draw down swathes of dark thunderclouds from above.

From afar, it looked as if the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" had triggered a thunder calamity!

In an instant, the entire Netherworld Sea, with the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" at its center, erupted into chaos within a radius of thousands of miles!

One could feel that below the Netherworld Sea, numerous terrifying demon creatures were stirring as if they wanted to swarm towards the "Heavenly Thunder Flower."

But for some reason, even though the bottom of the Netherworld Sea was tumultuous, no demon creature truly surfaced.

And as this turbulence continued for a dozen or so seconds, accompanied by the increasingly loud piercing noise of the "Heavenly Thunder Flower," the sea below suddenly fell eerily quiet.

Seeing the quiet water below, Ye Chen's expression suddenly turned serious.

"It's coming!"

A glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

The next moment, the quietude of the Netherworld Sea was shattered as a colossal black Thunder Turtle, a thousand meters in size, first appeared as a gigantic shell, followed swiftly by the entire creature surfacing above the sea.

As the Thunder Turtle emerged, its small eyes on its head immediately turned towards the "Heavenly Thunder Flower," radiating an intensely covetous light.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Turtle disappeared, and in the next instant, it reappeared near the "Heavenly Thunder Flower," its head darting toward the flower like lightning, attempting to take a bite!

Seeing the Thunder Turtle's move, Ye Chen chuckled lightly from above the void, "I've gone through so much trouble to find the 'Heavenly Thunder Flower,' and you think you can just swallow it so easily?!"

"If you want this flower, it's simple; exchange it with the 'Thunder Turtle Egg' you've refined using your Thunder Lightning Magnetic Force!"

As Ye Chen spoke, he pinched a magic formula with his hand, and for some reason, the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" floating on the Netherworld Sea burst toward Ye Chen with even greater speed, and eventually floated behind him calmly.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen faced the colossal black Thunder Turtle below directly!

This black Thunder Turtle was a creature of the upper echelon of the God King Realm, having long become sentient.

Hearing Ye Chen's words and seeing this tiny human daring to snatch away the "Heavenly Thunder Flower" that was almost in its mouth, the Thunder Turtle was furious.

Roar!

With a roar akin to a fierce beast, it suddenly shot up from the water, its massive body launching toward Ye Chen in an attempt to slam into him.

Seeing the action of the "Netherworld Thunder Turtle," many female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect aboard the flying boat changed color dramatically.

Especially the female disciples of the God King Realm and the Earth God Venerated Realm, even from a great distance, could feel the force of the collision from this Superior Earth God Venerated level "Netherworld Thunder Turtle."

They could sense that this collision would probably shatter the divine power of countless Earth God Venerates, killing them instantly.

And Ye Chen was merely a Nine Tribulations True God, not even at the God King Realm yet, how could he possibly withstand the charge of a Superior Earth God Venerate level Thunder Turtle?

Just when many of the female disciples were so worried that they screamed out, the "Netherworld Thunder Turtle" had already slammed directly in front of Ye Chen!

Then, a scene that caught all these female disciples off guard happened.

Ye Chen simply waved his sleeve, and a myriad of divine lights suddenly burst out from his body, illuminating with the radiance of stars and intertwined with a marvelous silver-white hue, shooting up thousands of kilometers high!

Within the shroud of divine light, Ye Chen didn't dodge or evade and collided head-on with the Netherworld Thunder Turtle.

But the result was not what the female disciples had predicted, that Ye Chen would be injured or even fall.

Instead, the Superior Earth God Venerate level "Netherworld Thunder Turtle" was repelled as if struck by a heavy hammer, being blasted tens of thousands of kilometers away upon collision with Ye Chen!

The Superior Earth God Venerate level Netherworld Thunder Turtle was, in fact, sent flying by Ye Chen!

The hundreds of female disciples from the Sky Fox Sect aboard the flying boat were utterly dumbfounded.

Even though they guessed that Ye Chen dared to confront the Netherworld Thunder Turtle head-on because he must have had a way to restrain it, they never imagined he would meet the Netherworld Thunder Turtle's charge with a direct clash!

Only "Fairy Luo Yun" in the field, upon seeing the divine light that rose thousands of kilometers high outside of Ye Chen's body, exclaimed excitedly with eyes wide, "It's that Divine Robe, Ye Chen's Divine Robe is even more formidable than I imagined! It possesses such strong counterattacking power!"

Above the Netherworld Sea, the Netherworld Thunder Turtle, after being blasted tens of thousands of kilometers away, crashed into the water, creating a massive plume that shot up into the sky as if triggering a tsunami!

At that moment, the Netherworld Thunder Turtle emitted another furiously enraged roar, its body shook violently as it emerged from the water, and it took flight again, hovering in the void.

Its eyes were fixed on the divine light surrounding Ye Chen, filled with astonishment, rage, and incredulity!

Within that expression, there was a greed that surpassed even the sight of the "Heavenly Thunder Flower."

"Hmm? It seems that my 'Star Blue Divine Garment,' after being nourished by the Thunder Lightning Magnetic Force in Sovereign Lei Fa's abode, also has a gravitational pull on this Thunder Turtle," Ye Chen thought to himself.

"From the way it looks, it doesn't want to snatch the Heavenly Thunder Flower but rather covets my 'Star Blue Divine Garment'?!"

Ye Chen smiled lightly.

The next moment, Ye Chen retracted the Heavenly Thunder Flower behind him, and with a movement of his body, cloaked in the divine light soaring thousands of kilometers high, he charged straight toward the Netherworld Thunder Turtle.

Having been refined, the "Star Blue Divine Garment" was now capable of withstanding attacks of the Earth God Venerate level, let alone the Superior Earth God Venerate level Thunder Turtle, Ye Chen had no reason to fear.

Roar!

Seeing Ye Chen charging at it, the Netherworld Thunder Turtle also swiftly tucked its head and claws into its shell, and the entire shell emitted extremely dark divine light, charging back toward Ye Chen!

An astonishing scene unfolded across the entire sky.

A mere human, carrying divine light thousands of kilometers long, was colliding with a turtle shell of a kilometer in size at an inconceivable speed.

A few breaths later, they crashed into each other.

Bang!

The collision almost shattered the space between them!

The air emitted a sound of space shattering, and then, everyone saw that the kilometer-sized black turtle shell was once again sent flying backward by the impact, while Ye Chen stood firm, not retreating half a step!

Even though everyone recognized that the Netherworld Thunder Turtle's second collision was far more powerful than the first, Ye Chen still completely suppressed it!

This excited and impressed the female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect, showing on their charming faces.

At their stage of Nine Tribulations True God, they definitely couldn't have achieved such a feat!

This Ye Chen from the Supreme Divine Institute, truly lived up to his reputation as the renowned youth within the institute, indeed impressive!

And what Ye Chen did next made the pupils of these female disciples shimmer with excitement.

They saw Ye Chen, after once again sending the Netherworld Thunder Turtle flying, soar toward the spot where it had plunged into the water like a ferocious human-shaped beast, diving straight into the Netherworld Sea!

Then, waves after waves burst forth within the Netherworld Sea, with Ye Chen engaging in a fierce battle with the Thunder Turtle under the water!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

This battle sent surges of water flying, and divine light burst forth in waves, making it impossible for the female disciples of the Sky Fox Sect to see the actual fight.

But just from the series of enraged roars from the Netherworld Thunder Turtle and the sky-high waves, one could imagine the ferocity of the battle!
