After successfully controlling the Dragon God Turtle, Nangong Lingyun decisively released his domain.
"Heaven and Earth Great Unity!"
As a companion ability to the Longevity Technique, this initially awakened small domain was no longer as weak as before.
Not only had its coverage expanded with his cultivation, but his control over the energy within it was also steadily increasing.
Especially after achieving the mutual generation and coexistence of yin and yang, the changes were simply earth-shattering.
Originally, it could only help him slightly accelerate his soul power recovery.
Now, it had almost become a large external elixir field.
Absolute control over the energy of heaven and earth within his domain allowed him to do many incredible things.
For example, he could strip an opponent of their ability to recover, preventing them from absorbing even a trace of spiritual energy.
This time, the main strategy against the Dragon God Turtle was simple: wear it down.
Its defensive capabilities were indeed formidable, almost unparalleled.
But no matter how strong the defense – whether it was resisting, reflecting, protecting, purifying, healing, weakening attacks, or burying itself in that special golden rock – it required energy to activate or maintain.
The more extraordinary the ability, the greater the consumption.
Furthermore, even with a defense efficiency of ninety-nine point nine-nine percent, the remaining one ten-thousandth would still cause damage.
Even small wounds could accumulate; it was like the Foolish Old Man moving mountains.
In terms of perseverance, Nangong Lingyun feared no one.
Anyone who's played games knows that once a health bar appears, no monster is invincible; even gods can be killed.
"Let's begin,"
Nangong Lingyun commanded.
Around the Dragon God Turtle, several dazzling beams of light immediately shot out.
The Thunderclap Hell Vine's destructive divine lightning, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Power, the Golden Lion Tiger's extreme golden energy, the Supreme Reverent Eyes' Spiritual Light, and Angel Yan's Innate Holy Flame True Qi.
Everyone, or every beast, had rehearsed beforehand.
Even if the attacks were completely reflected, their intensity was still within the limits of their own defenses.
After failing to break free, the Dragon God Turtle, just as it had five days ago, retracted its head, tail, and limbs into its shell, transforming into a giant fortress.
At this moment, as these attacks were launched, a thin, dark-golden shield lit up on the surface of the turtle shell.
It fit perfectly, looking as if the shell itself was glowing.
As expected, the moment the attacks landed on the Dragon God Turtle, they immediately returned along the same path, but at an even faster speed.
But,
the destructive divine lightning couldn't harm the Thunderclap Hell Vine at all, and the Golden Lion Tiger could transform into armor, its defensive capabilities were not inferior.
Nangong Lingyun had a delicate dragon head phantom appearing outside his head, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also activated its Evil God protection. Angel Yan's eighth soul skill enhanced their defense, and everyone successfully withstood it all.
Without hesitation, the second and third waves of attacks immediately followed, and then were still returned, still successfully withstood.
During this process, Ah Yin was also using her swallowing ability to continuously weaken that protective barrier.
The Dragon God Turtle was far more stubborn than expected.
Previously, in the simulation, the system displayed that as long as they could successfully control it and demonstrate that they had a way to eliminate it, the probability of it surrendering directly would be as high as fifty percent.
As their internal energy was continuously consumed, this ratio would continue to rise.
After all, according to this strategy, the Dragon God Turtle would inevitably lose.
As a result, the process of "consuming" and "grinding" by everyone actually lasted for nineteen days and still hadn't ended.
The four great beast masters and Angel Yan had all taken turns resting and recovering, changing personnel and horses.
But Nangong Lingyun, maintaining Heaven and Earth Great Unity and the One Qi Transforms Three Purities clones, hadn't closed his eyes for nineteen whole days and nights.
There was no help for it; if he relaxed even a little, even for a moment, all his previous efforts would be completely wasted.
Of a hundred points of attack, the Dragon God Turtle used about five points of its power to return over ninety percent.
The actual damage was less than five points.
This was still with true damage from the Destructive God Thunder, Innate Holy Flame True Qi, Evil God Power, and extreme gold; ordinary attacks could be directly nullified. Cheating was just that unreasonable.
Originally, defending against the return damage required limiting the power, and the ratio of output to damage was still so small.
If the opponent took a light breath, he probably had to slash for three consecutive days to offset it.
One person and one turtle were truly competing in willpower.
Nineteen days later,
Nangong Lingyun's spirit was already very weak, but his eyes remained firm. He hadn't relaxed his hold on the Heaven and Earth Great Unity for a moment.
The better the Dragon God Turtle performed, the more excited and determined he became, and the less likely he was to let it go.
That night,
Ah Yin, Ah Zi, Blackie, Golden Fur, and Angel Yan, the five main combatants, had once again returned to full health.
They were about to launch another attack, when
the Dragon God Turtle finally spoke to them.
"Stop, you've won."
Nineteen consecutive days of attrition had left it in a terrible state. Its internal energy was almost depleted, and its will was on the verge of collapse.
If he kept going, he would really die.
As soon as he spoke, six dark holes opened on the turtle shell, and the dragon head, dragon claws, and dragon tail all emerged from them. The originally majestic body was actually emaciated to the point of being skin and bones, and his face was filled with the expression of wanting to die.
As a Dragon God Turtle, it thought its endurance was already invincible, but it didn't expect someone to be even more courageous than itself.
Why was Nangong Lingyun born if it was born?
Nangong Lingyun was stunned when he heard this. Immediately, a boundless joy surged into his heart, and he immediately couldn't wait to outline the contract formation.
In just ten minutes, a brand new soul ring, black with red, quickly took shape.
As soon as the contract was formed,
Nangong Lingyun instantly teleported to the shore and lay on the ground, snoring loudly.
The One Qi Transforms Three Purities' clones had to be controlled by him, a process that seemed like nineteen days but was actually seventy-six.
The suffering involved was something no outsider could understand.
With Heaven and Earth Great Unity gone, the Dragon God Turtle immediately opened its mouth wide, voraciously inhaling the spiritual energy in the air.
Then, feeling that long-lost, familiar taste, tears couldn't help but stream down its eyes.
If it had known this would happen, it should have just agreed in the first place, what a crime this was.
Nangong Lingyun slept for an entire night, finally waking up slowly as dawn broke.
This was the longest he had been unconscious since his Martial Soul awakened.
Normally, he would spend his time cultivating, a habit shared by most soul masters.
He remotely sensed the situation and found the Dragon God Turtle was currently munching on some soil, not resting.
So, with a thought: "Come out, my divine weapon."
A black and red soul ring flashed.
A massive earthen-brown shield, covered in dark gold patterns, immediately appeared in front of him.
He could clearly sense the three ultimate attributes: extreme defense, extreme earth affinity, and extreme stability. He could also feel the five special characteristics: immunity, resistance, counter-damage, purification, and weakening.
Nangong Lingyun couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "A turtle as a shield, that's pretty fitting."
"Dragon God Turtle, for ultimate defense, I'll call you the Dragon Turtle Imperial Shield."
