“Strongest Eight-Year-Old Divine Ancestor ... ”
Legend has it that in the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, there exists a powerful Guardian Beast, known as the Black Tortoise.
It protects the bloodline of the Qing Family and maintains the imperial Overlord status.
Whenever the status of the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom wavers, and the Qing Family faces immense danger, the Guardian Beast is said to appear.
However, neither Qing Shengyu nor his two Uncle Emperors, nor even the previous Celestial Empire Emperor before Qing Shengyu, had ever seen this Guardian Beast.
As time passed, the legend of this Guardian Beast was nearly forgotten by the Qing Family.
Thus, when Qing Shengyu found himself in utter despair, his first thought was self-detonation.
It was not about their so-called Guardian Beast.
Even Qing Jiu Zhen, who had just prepared to fight to the death, never considered that the Guardian Beast protecting their Qing Family truly existed.
In a moment of excitement, a complex expression appeared on Qing Jiu Zhen's face.
As he gazed at the colossal figure emerging from the ground, he did not know where he found the courage to say, somewhat reproachfully, “Since you are our Qing Family’s Guardian Beast, why did you not appear when my father and others were in peril? Now that our top experts have nearly fallen, you only show up now as a protector of my Azure Family. Is this how you honor your title of ‘Guardian of the Nation’?”
Looking at Qing Jiu Zhen, a hint of surprise flickered in Ye Fan's eyes; he did not expect this Qing Jiu Zhen to be so audacious.
Ye Fan could see that this so-called Guardian Beast, although it had not reached the realm of immortals.
However, the aura emanating from it was undeniably stronger than that of an ordinary Ascension Realm expert.
Qing Jiu Zhen had only just reached the Initial Stage of God Slaying in her cultivation, yet she dared to speak so boldly in front of such a powerful Guardian Beast. This took Ye Fan and the others by surprise.
What astonished Ye Fan and the others even more was that the Guardian Beast did not seem angered by Qing Jiu Zhen's words. Instead, it explained, "This divine beast spends most of its time in a dormant state, completely unaware of the happenings in the outside world. It is only when each Celestial Empire Emperor falls that I sense it and awaken."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Jiu Zhen began to understand. The so-called Guardian Beast would not reveal itself until the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom faced its demise.
The fall of a Celestial Empire Emperor indicated that the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom had reached a critical point of life and death. Thus, the Guardian Beast would sense this and awaken.
It was precisely for this reason that it awakened only after Qing Shengyu's fall.
The Guardian Beast of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom was a massive Xuanwu, as imposing as a mountain.
Feeling the disappointment on Qing Jiu Zhen's face, the Guardian Beast spoke in a deep and commanding voice, "Do not worry. As long as I, this divine beast, exist, even if only one person from the Qing Family remains, as long as their bloodline continues, the throne of the Azure Wave Continent will forever belong to the Qing Family. The Qinglan Celestial Kingdom will not perish; no one can shake the status of the Qing Family."
The Guardian Beast possessed strength beyond that of any Ascension Realm immortal, which gave it confidence as it spoke these words.
In its view, who in the entire Azure Wave Continent could possibly be its opponent?
Its bell-like eyes fixed on Ye Fan and the others high in the sky.
The Guardian Beast's voice was authoritative and cold: "Humans, you are the ones who killed the Celestial Empire Emperor!"
The so-called Guardian Beast, Xuanwu, was actually an ancient tortoise that had lived for countless ages.
However, with its strength, it could indeed be respectfully referred to as the Turtle Sage.
Yet, facing it, Ye Fan showed no signs of fear. He calmly nodded and said, "Indeed, cultivation is not easy. Considering you have lived for ten thousand years, I advise you to return to your slumber underground to avoid having your millennia of cultivation ruined."
Not only was Ye Fan unafraid of the Guardian Beast of the Ascension Realm, but he also felt no fear towards figures like Sikong Shan from the Celestial Realm or Tenghe and Han Jian.
Thus, he did not regard this Guardian Beast of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom with any seriousness.
"You insolent child!"
However, Ye Fan's words fell on deaf ears for the Guardian Beast.
The massive shell hovering above Ye Fan and the others was the innate treasure crafted from the shell of the Old Tortoise Sage himself.
It was incredibly hard, resembling a great mountain capable of grinding everything to dust.
At this moment, under the control of the Old Tortoise Sage, it crashed down with a thunderous roar, unleashing even more terrifying power.
"Girl, I can sense the bloodline of the Qing Family within you. Come to me, and once I eliminate these intruders, you will become the next Empress of the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom," the Old Tortoise Sage said confidently, suppressing Ye Fan and the others while speaking to Qing Jiu Zhen.
He was worried that when his innate tortoise shell came crashing down, it would also crush Qing Jiu Zhen.
"Can you really kill them?"
However, upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Qing Jiu Zhen's eyes.
After returning from the Inner Domain Suspended King Sword Sect, whenever Qing Shengyu and others mentioned Ye Fan, their expressions changed dramatically.
Qing Jiu Zhen had heard them say that Ye Fan not only killed Jin Shan, who had ascended and was already an immortal but also forced Jin Shan's senior brother—a more powerful immortal—to flee back to the Upper Realm to save his life.
Although the Guardian Beast seemed powerful, could it really surpass an immortal from the Upper Realm?
"What? Are you doubting this divine beast's strength?"
Seeing that Qing Jiu Zhen had not approached him, still filled with deep skepticism, Old Tortoise Sage's eyes flashed with displeasure. He said, "Very well, since you doubt my strength, I shall let you witness how I crush them!"
"As for the throne of the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom... I sense that there are still many of the Qing Family's bloodline remaining. I will leave it to them."
With that, Old Tortoise Sage disregarded both Qing Jiu Zhen's life and death. His massive shell descended like a mountain, crashing down with earth-shattering force, akin to a thousand-pound weight.
Ye Fan gazed at him deeply and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. With a sigh, he said, "Considering your hard-earned cultivation, I intended to spare your life. Yet you are too blindly arrogant and fail to cherish this opportunity to live."
"Very well, if that's the case, then let me send you on your way to reincarnation!"
As Ye Fan's voice fell, he pointed skyward.
A beam of sword light gathered at his fingertip and shot upward.
The sword light was dazzling and sharp, striking with such force that it pierced directly through Old Tortoise Sage's life-bound shell.
As the shell was pierced by Ye Fan's finger, an expression of immense fear instantly appeared in Old Tortoise Sage's eyes. "How is this possible?"
Before he could say more, the sword light at Ye Fan's fingertip coalesced again, slicing horizontally through the air.
The shell, which had been descending like a great mountain, was instantly split in two under this sword light.
"Thud!"
The Old Tortoise Sage spat out fresh blood, its massive body shrinking to just a few feet in size.
Its life shell had been cleaved in two by Ye Fan, leaving it severely injured.
In its eyes, the previous arrogance and dominance had vanished. Realizing it had encountered a true immortal from the Upper Realm, it became utterly terrified and quickly pleaded, "Immortal, spare me! I failed to recognize your greatness just now. Please, grant me mercy..."
However, Ye Fan interrupted the Old Tortoise Sage's words, his tone cold and unyielding. "I already gave you a chance before, but you did not cherish it. Now... it's too late!"
As Ye Fan's voice fell, The Universe in the Palm descended instantly, enveloping the Old Tortoise Sage's body within it.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion followed.
In the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, the Guardian Beast—a Ten-Thousand-Year Black Tortoise stronger than an ordinary Ascension Realm cultivator—met its demise.
Its body was reduced to dust scattered across the sky.
Only the life shell that Ye Fan had severed in two was collected by him for use in refining artifacts.
