Chapter 182 The Cataclysmic Domain!
"That sounds really impressive..."
Li Wudao stroked his chin.
"That's for sure. Do you know that in the ancient era, a Qiongqi at its peak was an existence that even the ancient emperors had to look up to?"
The green-haired turtle hummed softly, its neck held high, as if it were the one who had become famous.
"real or fake?"
Li Wudao clicked his tongue slightly, "As far as I know, the ancient emperors were unparalleled in combat power throughout history, much stronger than the current emperors. How could they be no match for a ferocious beast?"
Historical records state that the ancient emperors possessed unparalleled cultivation, capable of communicating with all parts of the continent with a single thought. They could easily destroy a medium-sized dynasty with a population of billions, their divine might unmatched and invincible.
"At the pinnacle of martial arts, one cultivates the fundamental principles and the power of laws..."
The green-haired turtle gave him a "I knew you wouldn't understand" look, shaking its head and saying:
"The ancient emperors were powerful, but Qiongqi was the embodiment of the will of Heaven, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao of destruction and calamity. It was born with a variety of innate divine abilities and had a unique advantage that the human race could not match."
"In other words, the Great Dao and its origins that humans painstakingly cultivate, Qiongqi has possessed from the very beginning, and it is more in accord with the Heavenly Dao, allowing it to cultivate at a faster pace!"
After listening, Li Wudao fell silent.
This reminds me of a saying: All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.
Damn it, those genius monsters are really something else!
Even he, a system cheater, was feeling a little envious at this moment.
"Alright, kid, stop dawdling and hurry up and take a picture of the animal hide."
The green-haired turtle urged it on, almost driving it crazy with anxiety.
Li Wudao nodded helplessly and called out, "Three thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Three thousand and five."
Some people also realized the extraordinary value of the animal hides and planned to compete for them.
However, Li Wudao didn't even blink and directly raised the price to five thousand spirit stones, extinguishing everyone's desire to bid.
"Boy, give me the animal hide right now!"
Just as I sat back down with the animal hide, the green-haired tortoise suddenly pounced forward, trying to snatch the hide away.
However, Li Wudao already knew its nature, and with a quick sidestep, he sent the green-haired turtle sprawling face-first into the dirt.
"Damn it, what do you mean by this? Even a gentleman should be wary?"
The green-haired turtle, its teeth itching with pain, got up and glared at him with bared teeth.
Damn, this bastard's strength has increased again!
It was secretly surprised that Li Wudao could evade its attack so unexpectedly, given its agility.
"Stop making your brother Dao laugh, you bastard, what part of you is even remotely related to a gentleman?"
Li Wudao sneered, mocking it mercilessly.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked with ill intent, "By the way, aren't you the divine beast Xuanwu? I'm curious, which is more powerful, you or Qiongqi?"
The green-haired turtle, who was talking animatedly, suddenly shut its mouth, as if it had been touched on a sore spot. It stared with its two big eyes and remained silent.
"Trying to act all high and mighty without saying a word, huh? Fine, then you can forget about getting this animal hide."
Li Wudao raised an eyebrow.
"Fine, you're a real idiot... Fine, I'll tell you what to do."
The green-haired turtle howled in agony.
Subsequently, under Li Wudao's persistent questioning, the green-haired turtle reluctantly explained, "This is incomparable. My innate divine power is the Law of Life..."
"In other words, you are no match for Qiongqi in a fight."
Li Wudao understood.
"So what if it is? Anyway, I've lived long enough. I can outlast it and eventually kill it. Once its life force weakens, it won't be a match for me!"
The green-haired turtle was not ashamed, but rather proud.
The Xuanwu bloodline possesses the purest life laws, granting an incredibly long lifespan. As long as one doesn't suffer a fatal injury, living for over 100,000 years is not a problem at all.
This turtle has a really strong competitive streak...
Li Wudao looked at it with amusement. "So, you suspect that this tattered animal hide contains the inheritance of Qiongqi?"
He understood why the green-haired turtle was so agitated upon seeing the tattered animal hide.
Its single-target attack capabilities are stronger than those of most ancient emperors. Who wouldn't be tempted by that?
“That’s right. The aura above definitely comes from the ancient era. Qiongqi is also the embodiment of the original will, so it’s normal that only a totem was left behind. All of these match up.”
The analysis of the green-haired turtle's head is quite insightful.
"I have a question."
At this moment, Li Wudao looked puzzled, "In the distant past, hundreds of thousands of years ago, could it be that no human powerhouse obtained these animal hides?"
Given such a long period of time, surely someone must have realized the value of animal hides. How could they have been left out and ended up in the territory of a small, low-level dynasty?
"Of course there are, but they are protected by a restriction, making it impossible for humans to open them."
The green-haired tortoise seemed to have anticipated this, and resolutely blocked the railway.
"Why?"
Li Wudao was stunned.
"This goes back to the even more distant Primordial Era, when the Heavenly Dao was still perfect, and the power of Qiongqi was at its strongest. Even two peak Great Emperors joining forces were no match for it, and both perished under the laws of destruction and calamity..."
The green-haired turtle looked reminiscing. "But this also attracted the covetousness of more human powerhouses who wanted to obtain Qiongqi's magical techniques and abilities. They besieged and hunted it many times. In the end, not only humans, but also demons and monsters got involved."
"In the most devastating battle, seven Great Emperors from the human, demon, and monster races joined forces to defeat Qiongqi, leaving it severely injured and on the verge of death. That battle lasted for a month. Qiongqi spared no effort, burning its life essence and damaging its own cultivation level, barely escaping death. Since then, it has never appeared again..."
Li Wudao remained silent for a while, then asked, "Is that Qiongqi dead?"
"I don't know, but even if he didn't die, he wouldn't live long after his origin collapsed."
The green-haired turtle shook its head.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime..."
Li Wudao sighed softly.
It's truly lamentable that such a powerful and ferocious beast could only make a desolate exit in the end.
"Do you have a way to break the restrictions on it?"
Li Wudao looked at it curiously.
"Of course, I have my own methods."
The green-haired turtle was smug. Then, taking advantage of Li Wudao's momentary lapse in attention, it flew up and snatched him away, saying, "Give it to me."
"......"
Li Wudao remained silent.
Immediately, he also became a little excited.
If what the green-haired turtle said is true, then the value of this tattered animal hide is definitely no less than that of a royal-grade treasure, and the quality of the investment return is only higher.
"Kid, this time I owe you a favor."
The green-haired turtle hummed and carefully put away the tattered animal hide.

It is worth mentioning that.
