Listening: "You won't be able to find the water element laws."
Chen Nan looked into the distance.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Don't rush!" Listening said quickly, "Although you can't find the water element laws, you can make them find you."
"Yes, the water element laws are the only thing among the five elements that cannot be seen or touched."
"But."
"You have the Gong Gong Sword in your hand."
"The Gong Gong Sword is a legacy treasure of the Water God Sect."
"It is a magical artifact to summon the Water God."
"It still has a connection with the water element laws."
"As long as you use the fire element laws to burn the Gong Gong Sword."
"You can then draw out the water element laws."
Chen Nan understood.
Water and fire are irreconcilable.
If he were to use the fire element laws.
He would surely be able to draw out the water element laws.
Without further thought.
The black Gong Gong Sword appeared in his hand.
The next moment, a faint flame appeared on his palm.
Boom!
Without any warning.
A deafening roar of surging waves echoed through heaven and earth.
Even the Black Tortoise beneath Chen Nan's feet began to tremble violently.
It was as if a super earthquake had occurred, making it difficult for many to stand.
Before everyone could react.
They felt their balance lost.
The Black Tortoise suddenly flipped over, flinging them heavily towards the Luo River.
The once calm Luo River also became turbulent.
The wind howled.
It was as if the River God was roaring in fury.
It exuded a sense of overwhelming pressure.
Listening's pupils trembled, and he quickly said to Bai Yu: "Quick, ride me, hold on tight, I'll take you away from here!"
At the same time, he transmitted to Chen Nan: "If I'm not mistaken, this Black Tortoise has obtained the water element laws, but it cannot control this power at all."
"I've done all I can for you, dog grandpa."
"What happens next is all up to your fortune!"
Saying this, he soared into the air, carrying Bai Yu.
Of course.
Listening and Bai Yu were not the only ones fleeing.
Other powerful cultivators also fled the scene.
Because they could feel.
The moment the Black Tortoise flipped over.
The ancient formation that enveloped the Water God Sect had a brief pause.
They could take this opportunity to escape this troublesome place.
Splash!
Chen Nan was heavily thrown into the Luo River by the Black Tortoise.
Beneath the water.
A colossal Black Tortoise appeared before Chen Nan.
Chen Nan couldn't see its size.
But.
Its single eye was the size of a football field.
With just one eye so large.
One could imagine how terrifying its true form was.
Moreover, it carried a massive island on its back.
It looked extremely bizarre.
Being stared at by such a monstrous Black Tortoise.
Even Chen Nan felt a chill run down his spine.
He felt a sense of insignificance.
He felt that before this Black Tortoise.
He was truly minuscule.
Seeing the cold killing intent appearing in the Black Tortoise's eyes.
Chen Nan immediately used his spatial domain to appear in the air.
Although he possessed the fire element laws.
Spatial laws.
And a tiny bit of wood element laws.
He didn't believe he could defeat a powerful Black Tortoise underwater.
Of course.
Even in the air, he couldn't defeat it.
However, he hadn't intended to defeat this colossal Black Tortoise anyway.
He just needed to control the water element laws!
Appearing in the air.
Chen Nan fully unleashed his fire element laws, turning the Gong Gong Sword in his hand a dark red.
"With the fire element laws I currently control, even a sword forged from fine steel would melt instantly."
"But."
"Even with my full exertion of fire element laws, this obsidian sword only turned dark red."
"This Gong Gong Sword is not to be trifled with!"
Chen Nan's heart was in turmoil.
He hadn't expected an obsidian sword to withstand the high temperature of the fire element laws.
And at this moment.
The Black Tortoise's head slowly emerged from the water.
When Chen Nan saw it.
He couldn't help but gasp.
It wasn't just its massive body.
What shocked Chen Nan was.
It had a dragon's head.
And in the Luo River, ten thousand meters to the east, a thick snake tail.
Its black shell emitted a faint glow.
"This isn't a Black Tortoise!"
Although the Luo River water was boiling, with waves hundreds of meters high rising.
It couldn't compare to the shock in Chen Nan's heart.
Because he recalled a divine beast that was equally famous as the Azure Dragon.
The Black Tortoise, or Xuanwu!
The Xuanwu had a tortoise's body, a dragon's head, and a snake's tail.
But.
Why would a Xuanwu appear here?
Wasn't it said that the Water God Sect was a Black Tortoise?
Before Chen Nan could react.
The Xuanwu opened its gaping maw.
A dense mist spewed forth, instantly engulfing Chen Nan.
It also extinguished the water element laws on the obsidian sword.
Chen Nan's face was pale as wax.
The moment he was enveloped by the mist.
He felt like he had fallen into an endless ocean.
There was a feeling of weightlessness.
And a feeling of suffocation.
The intense suffocation made him dizzy.
"This must be the water element laws, right?"
Chen Nan held his breath and quickly retracted his fire element laws.
At the same time.
He also felt the suffocation slightly lessen.
After all, water and fire are irreconcilable.
As long as he didn't use the fire element laws.
The water element laws wouldn't affect him too strongly.
But he still couldn't escape the shroud of the water element laws.
"Collect!"
Chen Nan knew that it was impossible to absorb these water element laws in a short period.
But he could collect them.
After all, he had spatial laws.
He could completely compress the water element laws.
The Xuanwu sensed Chen Nan's intention.
It let out a cold voice from its mouth.
"Ah!"
Chen Nan cried out in pain, clutching his head.
The Xuanwu's voice resounded in his mind.
It was as if a nuclear bomb had detonated in his brain.
This intense pain was something Chen Nan had never experienced before.
Even with his incredible resilience.
He almost fainted.
"You can try to refine the Gong Gong Sword and the Water Repelling Pearl first."
"If you can refine those two magical treasures."
"This fellow might lower its guard against you."
Listening's soul transmitted.
It also didn't know why the Black Tortoise had transformed into a Xuanwu.
However, one thing was clear.
Obtaining the water element laws would likely be very difficult.
Without further thought.
Chen Nan immediately took out the Water Repelling Pearl and the Gong Gong Sword, dripping his blood onto them.
He didn't know if it was due to preconception.
This Xuanwu had a deep-seated prejudice against Chen Nan.
It let out another low growl.
This growl echoed through heaven and earth.
It made the void tremble.
Giving the impression of imminent annihilation.
It directly interrupted Chen Nan's blood-dripping allegiance.
It also caused blood to spurt from his seven orifices.
Even the Human Realm and Animal Realm deep within his soul trembled.
If Chen Nan hadn't reacted quickly and enveloped himself with spatial laws.
That low growl just now.
Would have been enough to make him explode into a bloody mist in mid-air.
"Dog Brother, stop watching the show, come help!" Chen Nan called out to Listening for help.
Listening's mouth twitched: "You call me Grandpa Nan, so don't drag me down. Let alone that I'm still recovering, even if I were at my peak, I'd still be no match for this sir!"
It was the number one divine beast of the Underworld.
Seemingly very impressive.
But in front of the true Four Divine Beasts, it was just a junior.
A strong sense of unwillingness rose in Chen Nan's heart: "Am I going to die here?"
And at this moment.
The Azure Dragon's voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind: "If you call me Grandpa Dragon, I can help you suppress this fellow!"
