"Woosh…"

Plenty of seawater rose into the sky because the waves were blown up to mid-air due to a humongous creature.

Ou Yangming did not treat the lazy turtle in his Long Feather Band politely. After expressing his extreme discontent, he adopted the Interspatial Magic Art to hurl the turtle into the sea.

Needless to say, Ou Yangming picked the spot wisely; he made sure that the spirit turtle was a safe distance away from him and the ship.

After all, the sea turtle was too massive. If it was near the ship, Ou Yangming would not be at ease.

"Roar…"

The sea turtle cried in pain when it fell into the sea.

It was not because of the physical pain on its body, but because the Tree of Splendour on its back was stripped from it by Ou Yangming. Ever since the plant was attached to the turtle, it grew between the gaps on its body and became one with it, and the pairing between the spiritual item and the mascot naturally created an unexplainable mystery.

Nonetheless, the lazy turtle and the plant were separated because the former's followers provoked Ou Yangming. It was unbearable for the turtle.

It was worth noting that the lazy turtle could overcome sleep for the Tree of Splendour.

Once the lazy turtle entered the sea, it was filled with so much fury that it could burn the sky and boil the sea. Nevertheless, as bold as the turtle was, it dared not bare its teeth in front of Ou Yangming. As such, it could only vent its anger on its unlucky followers.

When the spirit turtle appeared, the Humans' powerhouses and the Aquatics' powerhouses had entirely different feelings.

The Aquatics' powerhouses of different sizes cheered in their respective ways. From the day the lazy turtle disappeared and numerous powerhouses near the shoal were slaughtered, the remaining of them fled to the deep sea.

Although they did not know the lazy turtle's whereabouts, they knew the spirit beast likely suffered an ill fate.

When the Aquatics' powerhouses suddenly spotted the Humans' ship, they assembled to attack the people. Other than wanting to vent their anger, they also wanted to get some information.

Having said that, just as they were surrounding the Humans' powerhouses, they realized that the leader—the spirit turtle—had returned. The aquatics were so excited at this moment that it was indescribable.

Perhaps they could return to land under their leader's lead and could promote their prestige to the world again.

On the contrary, Feng Yiyuan, Nian Xinran, and the others were having a breakdown.

'Master Ou, didn't you say this fella is nothing to be feared already? Even if you didn't kill it, at least make it go away, so it'll never dare to attack us anymore.

'It has only been a few days, and the fella is back. Besides, judging from its momentum and appearance, it doesn't seem to be injured at all.'

The spirit turtle turned over, causing its fearsome aura to spread and gush out in all directions. Ou Yangming and the little red bird did not care about it at all because it felt like a traceless breeze to them.

As for the other people and the Aquatics' ferocious beasts, the aura was invincible, so much so that they even froze.

'Sir, why did you crush us too without forethought?' The vicious beasts thought, but they dared not say it out loud as much as they cursed internally.

The lazy turtle widened its mouth and grunted as it pounced on the fighting group.

Many fierce beasts were elated, whereas Feng Yiyuan and the others turned pale and gave Ou Yangming pleading and wishful looks. At this point, the young fellow was the only one that could retrieve their defeat and save them.

Despite that, their hearts sank when they looked in a direction on the ship.

Ou Yangming had unknowingly sat on the ship's bow. Seeing how leisurely he was, he seemed to be wanting to watch the fun.

Everyone including Feng Yiyuan had a strange thought, 'Is Ou Yangming trying to get someone else to kill us because he's not pleased with us?'

The lazy turtle paddled on the water so quickly that it was a stark contrast with its enormous body. It reached the fighting group in the blink of an eye, then it opened its large mouth and bit.

Feng Yiyuan and the others felt chills in their hearts. They knew they would be doomed, but they did not want to be caught without putting up a fight.

Just as they were determined to let the spirit beast have a taste of the Humans' bravery, an arrow of blood burst out and painted the water red.

Following that, they were dumbfounded because the terrifying spirit turtle bit the swordfish, which was a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast, into two.

The swordfish was considered mighty among the Aquatics. In particular, its speed and power during its spurt were enough to put equal-ranked human powerhouses in difficult spots. Feng Yiyuan and Nian Xinran knew this very well, hence they were wary of it while they fought other half-spirit beasts.

Who knew, the swordfish was similar to a little wooden rod in front of the spirit turtle. Without being able to struggle at all, it was bitten to death by the turtle.

The battlefield fell silent at once. Apart from the Humans' powerhouses, the Aquatics' beasts looked in disbelief at the spirit turtle. 'Is that old fella dazzled? Why is it attacking its kind?'

Next, the spirit turtle swallowed the swordfish and aimed at a white shark with its menacing eyes.

The white shark was also a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast. It usually acted like an overlord in the sea and was invincible, but it became timid after being stared at by the spirit turtle. The shark dared not resist at all, and it turned its belly up to float on the sea.

As such, the spirit turtle looked past it coldly and fixed its gaze on the next great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast.

The half-spirit beasts could not speak, but they had gained wisdom and understood everything after seeing what was going on.

One by one, the beasts submitted themselves to the spirit turtle in their own ways. In actuality, they also knew they could not resist the turtle at all because they would only be doomed if they did.

The spirit turtle nodded its huge head as it was satisfied, then it looked at Feng Yiyuan and the others.

Feng Yiyuan and the others were appalled. Just as they were feeling flustered, they heard Ou Yangming calling out to them, "Senior Feng, General Nian, you can come back."

Everyone quickly paddled away as though they had just been pardoned, and they hurried back to the ship.

They looked at Ou Yangming differently again. Especially the sailors on the ship, they kneeled and kowtowed to him.

The people could tell that the gigantic turtle's appearance was related to Ou Yangming. Given that he could command such a giant beast in the water, he was simply equivalent to Poseidon.

After roaring at the aquatics, the spirit turtle turned around and blew air at the ship. With that, an incredibly rich fragrance spread out, causing those who smelled it to feel like they were treading on air.

The captain was stunned at first, then he jumped gleefully. Without bothering about the powerhouses present, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Good luck! This is the blessing of good luck! It's a blessing given by Sir Spirit Turtle to us! From now on, our ship won't be restricted at all when we sail on the sea. Haha, haha…"

As he cried, the sailors on the ship shouted as well. They were delighted and were filled with overflowing joy.

To people that made a living by going to sea, monstrous waves and giant beasts were deadly. Once encountered, their ships would be wrecked, and they would become food for the aquatics.

Now, a formidable sea beast had just blown air of blessing at the ship.

When sea beasts with rank lower than the spirit turtle sensed the air of blessing, they would not attack the ship at all. In a way, the people that sailed the ship could sail freely on the sea as long as they carefully avoided stormy waves and submerged reefs.

Ou Yangming was rather moved when he watched them quietly.

Even though he was at the tip of the pyramid in this world at the moment, he used to be an unknown apprentice in the military 2 years ago. Therefore, the young fellow understood how the people were feeling, and he curled his lips into a faint smile as he watched them celebrate.

Feng Yiyuan returned to Ou Yangming and exchanged glances with the others before he finally asked, "Master Ou, this spirit turtle…?"

Ou Yangming curbed his thought and answered with a smile, "This spirit turtle and I met by fate, so I promised I'll bring it back to the upper realm."

"Master Ou, this spirit turtle descended to our realm to eliminate the Humans, so why is it willing to return to the upper realm?" Feng Yiyuan and the rest looked at each other.

"I'm not a part of the Aquatics, so how would I know what they're thinking. Since this spirit turtle didn't cause a massacre, I decided to fulfill its wish," Ou Yangming responded snappily.

When Feng Yiyuan and the others pondered, they indeed realized that while the spirit turtle was the Aquatics' leader and led its followers to attack the city many times, it always gave up halfway. It was as though the turtle was only carrying out its task and did not cause a huge disaster to the Humans.

While they were deep in their thoughts, they suddenly heard the screams of numerous people.

They noticed the massive turtle swimming leisurely toward the ship.

The ship was titanic, but it would likely fall apart if it was crushed by the bulky creature.

That said, given that the spirit turtle had just blown air of blessing to the ship, it probably would not attack the ship.

At last, the spirit turtle arrived beside the ship and called out to Ou Yangming while looking eagerly at him.

"You did well, so go back and sleep." Ou Yangming nodded. Subsequently, he extended his arm, causing an intense light to be released and enveloped the spirit turtle.

When the light disappeared after a brief moment, the turtle was nowhere to be seen.

Ou Yangming asked the stupefied captain, "Aren't you going to sail the ship?"

The captain seemed to have just awakened from his dream. He quickly shouted and gave orders to the sailors.

Before long, the ship left swiftly, leaving many savage beasts trembling in the sea.

From then on, the ship sailed on the sea countless times before it aged and retired from the sea, but it was never attacked by sea creatures anymore.
