Chapter 802: Chapter 796: Treacherous Disciple Who Betrayed His Master
Something’s not right!
Seeing Bright Heart Turtle arrive safely at the Dragon Palace’s gates, David Jones’s pupils constricted instead of relaxing, and his vigilance heightened.
The reason was simple, at that instant, Daphne’s crisis feeling brought by the power of Destiny did not decrease but rather increased.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Bright Heart Turtle madly knocked on the gate’s pearls with its head, causing a buzzing noise to resonate in its skull.
After doing this several times over a long period, it stopped its actions, slightly shrugging its forelimbs at David Jones, indicating it had done its best.
David Jones nodded slightly, intending to try for himself.
So what if there were traps ahead?
A Destiny Avatar that couldn’t replenish its energy was no big loss if destroyed!
“Whoosh!”
Daphne took a step with her hind leg, and her body surged towards the Dragon Palace gate with alarming Domination, like an erupting volcano shooting out lava.
Clearly, to draw the attention of the lurking presence, David Jones didn’t hesitate to unleash the full strength of the Destiny Avatar, accelerating the depletion of the Fire Arcane Force within.
However, this also had a downside; even if there wasn’t a sudden powerful attack coming next, the Destiny Avatar in its current state could only maintain itself for another ten minutes at most before it would disintegrate voluntarily.
“Those skilled in entering the Dragon Palace shall die!!”
A deafening roar spread throughout the deep-sea world, causing countless sea beasts within a million miles who heard the sound to panic and flee instinctively.
David Jones felt the vast power enveloping his entire body and immediately tensed up.
Semi-Immortal power!!!
He instinctively looked towards the direction of the voice, activating the Illusion-Piercing Eye.
All he saw was the dimly lit underwater world suddenly becoming crystal clear, and an enormous, sturdy object, like a pillar holding up the heavens, sliced through space with immense momentum, rolling towards him.
Realizing that space was sealed and his body targeted, David Jones did not resist; his gaze followed the pillar upward, trying to discern the true identity of the attacking creature.
Boom!
Under the inescapable immense pressure, the overextended Destiny Avatar automatically collapsed, turning into bits of decaying Sacred Flame starting from the tail end, gradually fading away.
It was at this moment that David Jones’s eyes widened as he saw the master of the mighty pillar.
It was a vast being with an aura of mystery and majesty, superficially resembling the Class VIII Emperor Beast Sea-saving Turtle, but with a deeper shell displaying the exact opposite of star and moonlight hues in dark brown, adorned with mysterious patterns.
Above the massive turtle shell rose majestic peaks, as if they contained endless weight.
Of course, what most captured David Jones’s attention were the creature’s eyes; they seemed bright as mirrors yet harbored incredibly fierce killing intent.
He was crystal clear that this killing intent was directed at nobody else but himself!
At the same time, the Illusion-Piercing Eye also pierced through the mighty beast’s facade.
“Pet Name”: Sea-saving Turtle (Turtle Minister of West Sea)
“Pet Type”: Water
“Species Level”: Emperor (Semi-Immortal?)
“Grade”: Eighth Order Quasi-God (Lightly Wounded)
“Species Skill”: ???
“Pet Profile”: The Sea-saving Turtle is a different species within the Sea-saving Turtle clan and is an indispensable sage and guardian of the West Sea Dragon Palace. It can enhance its attack and defense through the power of water, making its already impenetrable defense even more terrifying.
Note: This is a mutation of the divine turtle with an unusual Talent distribution, favoring thunderous attacks to destroy anyone bold enough to intrude into the West Sea Dragon Palace rather than wisdom.
Without any surprises, at the moment the colossal pillar of the Sea-saving Turtle descended, everything went black before David Jones’s eyes; the Daphne avatar was completely annihilated, and even the surrounding sea area was violently shaken as a result.
“I’ll come back, and if you dare, wait for me here. Don’t you move an inch.” The wave of David Jones’s lingering Psychic voice declared.
“So what if you come back?”
The Sea-saving Turtle’s gaze hardened, not paying too much heed to the words David Jones left behind.
The events that transpired within the West Sea Dragon Palace that day did not escape the Semi-Immortal’s divine sense, including David Jones’s action of clearing the surrounding Aquatic Clan members.
It’s just that it wanted to confirm some information and temporarily had no intention of making a move against David Jones.
As for that Fire Beast, although its aura was quite unique and somewhat resembles that of a divine beast, its strength was limited. Even if it were its own avatar, its strength would probably range between the peak of a Class VII Overlord and a lower-level of Class VIII Legend.
With home-field advantage, it could easily crush as many of such Fire Beasts as dared to come.
“Whose descendant are you?”
The Sea-saving Turtle shook its head and looked towards the Bright Heart Turtle.
Weak, far too weak!
It had never seen such a frail Bright Heart Turtle, one that had ascended to Class VI but hadn’t even mastered the power to command the sea.
The Bright Heart Turtle did not answer.
Under the terrifying domination of the Sea-saving Turtle, it had long since rolled its eyes back and fainted from fear.
“Useless creature.”
The Sea-saving Turtle suddenly lost interest in guiding its junior and slowly turned to leave.
It had a more important mission to complete.
Before that, it needed to accumulate enough strength.
“What a pity, rash Fire Beast, you are not the one I’m waiting for!”
The Sea-saving Turtle glanced at the direction where the Destiny Avatar had dissipated, a hint of regret in its eyes.
…
Elsewhere, in the Rosewood Garden.
David Jones and Daphne opened their eyes at the same time, both filled with shock.
Damn!
The rumors were true, they always say the Four Seas Dragon Palace has countless treasures, and its subordinates are incredibly strong,
they didn’t expect even the Turtle Minister, tasked with managing the affairs of the Dragon Palace and strategizing for the Dragon God, to possess the strength of an Eighth Order Quasi-God!
No helping it, with David Jones’s current strength he could bully ordinary Legends, but he surely couldn’t defeat a Deity Trainer, let alone clash with an Eighth Order Quasi-God comparable to a Supreme Deity.
That would only be like an egg smashing against a rock, a pure giveaway!
“Meh?” (How is it?)
Seeing the expressions on David Jones and Daphne, Loona suddenly had a bad premonition.
David Jones first administered an elixir to Daphne to recover her psychic spirit.
Fortunately, the collapse of the Destiny Avatar didn’t have much of an effect on Daphne; like him, she just needed some time to recover the lost strand of psychic spirit.
Only then did David Jones feel at ease to explain to the little ones, “Cough cough, I don’t know whether to say we’re too lucky or too unlucky, the gatekeeper BOSS of the West Sea Dragon Palace is too high level, we probably can’t beat it right now.”
Upon hearing this, Lolo, who often played Pet Glory alone against four and led the team to victory despite the weight, brightened up.
A BOSS indicates that the fellow from the Dragon Palace harbors malice, and being too high level suggests that it’s not an ordinary Legend, and very likely is a Quasi-God, or even an Immortal half-god of Class IX.
“Chirp?” (Can we form a party to find a substitution to level up?)
Lolo seriously made a suggestion.
The little rosewood, leveraging on Instant Teleportation, always dominated as a one against five.
“Er, it’s difficult, practically impossible to open, the opponent is a well-conditioned Eighth Order Quasi-God.” David Jones shook his head.
As the Rosewood Leader, he had sufficient background to invite people, but currently, he could not summon anyone appropriate.
To speak pessimistically, Lilith Hoyle the teacher and several Deities of Rosewood are indeed powerful, but they would also have a hard time against an Eighth Order Quasi-God.
Even if they could contend, what if a dormant Dragon God emerged from the closed Dragon Palace? Wouldn’t that end up dooming the teacher and the senior members of Rosewood?
Therefore, until the information about the Dragon Palace was clear, David Jones did not wish to be a disciple who dooms his master and seniors.
