Chapter 110 Black-armored Whale
"Om one"
A muffled sound came from inside the Xuan Turtle's shell. Immediately afterwards, fine, yellowish-brown lightning suddenly shot out from between the patterns on its carapace, crackling as it swirled around its body.
A violent aura of lightning swept out, intertwining with the Xuan Turtle's own heavy aura of earth. As the two forces merged, ripples spread through the surrounding air.
Such earth-shattering fluctuations of spiritual energy and extraordinary phenomena had already broken through the shackles of the array on the isolated island and spread towards the vast outer sea.
In less than half an hour, towering waves suddenly rose on the distant sea, and a dark shadow that blotted out the sky was rapidly approaching.
Accompanied by a deafening whale roar, a level-six Xuanjia whale, hundreds of feet long, broke through the waves. Its house-sized eyes shone with a fierce light, clearly attracted by the spiritual energy fluctuations and exotic fragrance of the Xuan Turtle's flesh as it advanced, and came here specifically to hunt for food.
Among the sea monsters, the Xuanjia Whale clan is a dominant force, and its size is among the largest of all sea monsters.
Because of their enormous size, these types of demonic beasts need to devour massive amounts of blood and flesh with each meal, which is why they have a particular fondness for turtle-like demonic beasts that are also enormous. The commotion caused by the Xuan Turtle's advancement was immense, naturally attracting this ferocious creature.
"They're here! It's a black-armored whale!"
Luo Ming's eyes narrowed sharply, and he shouted in a low voice, "The Xuan Turtle is in a critical period of spiritual energy infusion after its advancement; it must not be interrupted!"
Whale-like monsters are already extremely difficult to deal with, and the Xuanjia Whale is even more tough and thick-skinned. Its outer layer of hard Xuanjia armor is comparable to a magic weapon, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to penetrate its defenses.
The Xuanjia whale had already smelled the alluring fragrance in the air—the primal aroma emanating from the flesh of turtle-like demon beasts as they advanced in rank, a rare delicacy to it.
But just as it rushed ashore and was about to pounce on the Xuan Turtle, it was blocked by a golden shield. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, and countless golden flying blades swirled up and bombarded its body.
"Let's do it!"
Upon seeing the Xuanjia Whale break into the Ten Thousand Ren Demon Locking Formation, Luo Ming was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Golden Gu Old Man, who was possessing Gong Yi's body, to join forces to defend against the enemy.
Gong Yi's Core Formation stage body has now been refined into a corpse puppet and handed over to the Golden Gu Elder for possession and control. Combined with the Xuanfeng Sword magic weapon, its combat power is comparable to that of a peak early Core Formation stage cultivator.
With the addition of more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage corpse puppets beside him, Luo Ming's side was equivalent to having three early Core Formation stage combatants.
The dozen or so Foundation Establishment corpse puppets simultaneously manipulated the round bead magic artifacts, and a large area of green poisonous mist instantly spread around them. As the poisonous mist rolled, it transformed into several green pythons more than ten feet long, howling and coiling towards the Xuanjia Whale.
These green pythons formed from the poisonous mist had a remarkable corrosive effect on the spiritual energy shield. However, the Xuanjia Whale was too large, and the green pythons wrapped around its body looked like small snakes clinging to a giant elephant, which was quite comical.
"cut!"
With a low shout, the Golden Gu Elder manipulated the Xuanfeng Sword to grow dozens of feet, and a condensed sword beam slashed straight at the head of the Xuanjia Whale.
The sword's power was extraordinary, instantly piercing through the Xuanjia Whale's protective aura and striking heavily against its head armor.
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the sword energy was deflected by its hard armor, which was comparable to a magic weapon, leaving only a shallow white mark.
The old man with the golden gu skin stiffened, secretly alarmed that the monsters of the outer sea were indeed ferocious and monstrous, far surpassing those of the monsters of the inner sea.
It should be noted that the Xuanjia Whale always requires a team of several Core Formation cultivators to hunt it down, and it takes a long time to slowly wear it down. Ordinary magic weapons cannot harm it in the slightest.
Although the attack did not cause fatal damage, it thoroughly enraged the Xuanjia Whale.
As a deafening whale roar resounded, Luo Ming felt a sudden jolt in his mind, his vision went black, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.
"Oh no! It's the Whale Roar Divine Power!"
Luo Ming was startled and quickly used his divine sense technique to stabilize his mind. It took him a long time to calm down his turbulent sea of consciousness.
He stared at the Xuanjia Whale churning within the formation. Even with all his might, he couldn't restrain it using the Ten Thousand Blades Demon-Locking Formation. He was secretly anxious: If this dragged on, and another high-level demon beast was attracted, then things would be troublesome!
"Golden Gu, you take control of the formation!"
Luo Ming gave the order in a deep voice and immediately summoned the Golden Wind Cone Talisman. The situation was critical, and he could only rely on the sharpness of this treasure to break through the opponent's strong defense.
After the Golden Gu Elder took over the control of the formation, Luo Ming immediately channeled all his magical power into the Golden Wind Cone Talisman. A ten-zhang-long golden-blue cone slowly condensed and took shape, its entire body solid and its power completely contained. Only the eerie golden light swirling around the tip of the cone revealed the extraordinary nature of this talisman.
"Is this the talisman that shattered my shield with a single blow?" The old man with the golden gu gazed at the golden wind cone in the air. Seeing that it was even more refined than the one he had seen before, he couldn't help but speculate more about Luo Ming's true identity.
Only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could refine a talisman with such power.
"go!"
Luo Ming raised his hand and pointed, and the Golden Wind Cone's spiritual light surged, appearing as if by teleportation on the relatively weak belly of the Xuanjia Whale. Even so, the scales on the Xuanjia Whale's belly were by no means something that ordinary magic weapons could break.
However, the Golden Wind Cone was no ordinary object. With the added speed boost from the wind attribute divine power, the entire cone spun at high speed. With a "sizzle," the scales on the belly of the Xuanjia Whale were pierced through after only a few breaths.
"As expected of a talisman treasure brought out by a top cultivator in the human realm, it certainly did not disappoint me!" Luo Ming praised inwardly, and then manipulated the Golden Wind Cone to freely shuttle through the body of the Xuanjia Whale.
A moment later, the Xuanjia Whale, whose combat power was comparable to that of an ordinary level seven demonic beast, finally let out a mournful howl and completely lost its breath.
"roar--!"
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly resounded on the isolated island, the ground trembled violently, and amidst the surging dust, the body of the Xuan Turtle rapidly expanded in the surge of spiritual energy, stretching from its original tens of feet to nearly a hundred feet in a short time.
The back of the nail is becoming thicker and wider, and the original earthy yellow pattern has become as intricate and interwoven as star trails, with a deep gold and dark brown luster. Each nail plate is sharp and angular.
The lightning swirling around it changed from fine to condensed, transforming into thick, deep yellow arcs of lightning, each crackling with a sharp, oppressive power that suppressed all things.
This is the Earth Divine Thunder awakened after the Xuan Turtle advanced, several times stronger than the previous Earth-attribute lightning, containing the destructive power of the Earth element's origin.
After advancing, the Xuan Turtle became more composed. Its head was several times larger than before, and its eagle-like beak gleamed with a metallic gleam. When its eyes were closed, all the spiritual energy around it was contained. Its enormous body resembled an ancient, towering stone mountain.
Clearly, its breathing technique is far more powerful than before. If it were to lie prone on a deserted island, its entire body enveloped by the technique of manipulating earth to form mountains, it would be impossible for ordinary Core Formation cultivators to detect it unless they were Nascent Soul level monsters.
"Not bad, not bad! Let me see what kind of supernatural powers you've mastered!" Luo Ming flashed onto the massive body of the Xuan Turtle and said excitedly.
