Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 573 Learned

This beast resembles a giant tortoise, with a shell covered in layers of sharp spikes on its back. Each spike gleams with a chilling light, and with every step it takes, the earth trembles as if an earthquake has struck, displaying astonishing power.

What terrified Qin Yu even more was that the aura emanating from this Void Beast far surpassed that of a Level 5 Void Beast.

It's likely that it has already reached the legendary "half-saint" level!
"Is that... a level six Void Beast?"

Qin Yu's eyes widened involuntarily, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart.

"Roar--!"

As if it had absorbed a powerful tonic, the giant tortoise unleashed a deafening roar, its surging power causing it to roar with immense force. A razor-sharp spike suddenly shot out from its carapace, slicing through the air with unparalleled sharpness, aimed directly at Qin Yu, intending to pierce him.

"Humph!"

The Empress gave a light snort, her tone filled with disdain and coldness. Then, with a flick of her jade hand, a dazzling silver light streaked through the air like a shooting star, instantly colliding fiercely with the spike.

"Oh!"

A deafening roar erupted. The spike that was once powerful enough to pierce through anything was reduced to dust and vanished without a trace under the Empress's attack, as fragile as a piece of paper.

"call out!"

However, the Empress did not stop there. Her eyes were icy, and with a flick of her jade fingers, another silver light shot out like lightning, aiming straight for the giant tortoise's eyes.

"clang!"

In that split second, as if sensing danger, the giant tortoise suddenly closed its eyes, followed by a deafening clang of metal striking metal.

The attack, which was originally enough to pierce through the hard head of a level-five Void Beast, now only left a shallow white mark on the giant tortoise's thick eyelids, as if it were a light stroke on a hard shield.

"Such a tough defense."

The Empress's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

"Roar--"

The giant tortoise let out a low, painful roar, and the spikes on its carapace suddenly flashed with a mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation.

"They actually mastered the power of origin!"

A rare look of solemnity appeared in the Empress's eyes, and her hands, which had been behind her back, slowly fell down.

"Roar--!"

Suddenly, the giant tortoise let out a deafening roar, its massive body, as large as a moving city, soaring into the air with overwhelming power. With a sudden swipe of its front claws, it carved several shocking black cracks in the air, like the scythe of death, pointing directly at the Empress.

"Be bold!"

The Empress's face was as cold as frost, and her brows revealed an unquestionable supreme majesty, as if everything in the world was under her control.

In an instant, lightning flashed, like the wrath of the heavens. Thunder, like a waterfall, descended from the sky with destructive power, instantly disintegrating the attack. It then slammed the giant tortoise's massive body down with an extremely domineering force.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, as if even the heavens and earth were shaking before this power.

Qin Yu's expression changed slightly, and she took to the air.

The next moment, a cloud of dust, like a sandstorm, billowed up. If he hadn't reacted in time, the aftershock of this enormous force would have been enough to injure him.

The giant tortoise cried out in pain, its eyes instantly turning crimson. Then, it opened its massive maw in fury, and a torrent of pitch-black liquid surged forth from its mouth.

"Crash!"

Wherever this torrent touched, the space seemed to be licked by raging fire, corroding out countless tiny black holes, a shocking sight.

The Empress stood firm and unmoved, like a pillar in the middle of a raging tortoise. Her sharp gaze was fixed on the seemingly indestructible belly of the giant tortoise.

Although the overwhelming lightning waterfall had not left any mark on the giant tortoise's carapace, it had left a sizable wound on its abdomen.

"Humph!"

Faced with this attack containing terrifying primal power, the Empress remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. She lightly raised her jade hand, her palm crackling with lightning, easily blocking the raging torrent. The lightning and the black flood intertwined and collided, creating deafening roars.

Immediately, the Empress glanced at Qin Yu, said nothing, and suddenly her figure flashed through the sky like lightning, instantly appearing beneath the giant tortoise's belly.

"call out!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, followed by a deafening wail from the giant tortoise as a huge, bloody hole was pierced through its abdomen, splattering its mangled internal organs and foul-smelling blood.

However, to the Empress's surprise, as the giant tortoise's massive body crashed to the ground, countless black tentacles surged from the wound on its abdomen, frantically repairing the injury. A Void Beast at the half-Saint level actually possessed such self-healing power?

The giant tortoise roared in agony, its eyes flashing with a sinister and ruthless light, like burning blood-red gems. The intense pain spreading from within its body made it suddenly alert—this insignificant figure before it possessed a chilling aura that could threaten its life.

"Crash-"

The giant tortoise's jaws gaped open, as if the gates of an abyss had been opened, and a torrent of pitch-black water, as deep as the abyss itself, surged within its mouth, carrying an undeniable power. In its blood-red eyes, a mixture of human fear and warning mingled, as it attempted to use this terrifying sight to force the Empress to retreat.

However, the Empress's face remained cold and unmoved. Behind her, lightning flickered, like a silver dragon swimming in raging waves, poised to strike. Between her palms, an undeniable golden radiance quietly emerged, sharp and unstoppable.

The crevice in the Ten Thousand Mountains cannot be closed in a short time.

The Empress cannot remain stationed in the Hundred Thousand Mountains forever. Once she leaves, the Void Beasts at the Half-Saint level will break through the spatial barrier and descend upon the Hundred Thousand Mountains, inevitably bringing a catastrophe to the entire Great Yan Immortal Kingdom.

She absolutely would not allow any half-saint level Void Beast to exist near this Void Crevice!
Even if it requires the use of one's primal power, this giant tortoise must be slain here.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning roared out like an angry dragon, instantly filling the entire space and bringing a devastating shockwave. The Void Beasts, which had been restless and eager for food upon sensing the presence of living beings, were now terrified by this power. Their greed was instantly replaced by fear, and they stared wide-eyed at the world that seemed on the verge of collapse.

The giant tortoise suddenly opened its huge mouth, and from the abyss-like black hole, a torrent as thick as ink surged out, quickly turning into a thick curtain of water that tightly enveloped itself, as if it were wearing a layer of black armor.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying power of thunder crashed down like a divine punishment, splashing up patches of black water, with streaks of lightning flashing wildly within, as if trying to refine the entire black water.

Sensing the threat of death, the giant tortoise dared not hold back. At this moment, it no longer cared about its own energy expenditure; it only wanted to recover from its injuries as quickly as possible and flee far away.

"Is this the power of origin?"

Qin Yu stared incredulously at the black water, her expression grave. The invincible destructive lightning had failed to tear the black water apart for a time.

"Sizzle!—"

Just as Qin Yu was surprised, a golden light, like the light of dawn, suddenly burst forth from beneath the black water.

A sword beam, entirely golden in color, suddenly appeared, its brilliance like the rising sun, instantly bathing the surrounding space for dozens of miles in a dazzling golden glow. An extremely sharp aura swept out like a storm, filling every corner and causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Before the sword light was even thrust out, the invisible sword energy alone had already carved countless hideous cracks in the earth, as if even space itself had been cut apart by its sharpness.

"cut!"

A chilling glint flashed in the Empress's eyes. Her red lips parted slightly, and though her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable imperial authority.

A look of terror suddenly appeared in the giant tortoise's eyes, as if it had suffered the pain of being pierced by a thousand swords. An unprecedented sense of crisis was as cold as ice, chilling it to the bone.

"call out!"

The golden sword light, carrying an invincible and powerful aura, suddenly shot out. The black water, which was originally difficult to tear even with the power of thunder, was now as fragile as thin paper and was easily split in two.

Immediately afterwards, the giant tortoise's slowly healing abdominal wound was mercilessly torn open again. Even more terrifying, the terrifying sword light did not dissipate, but instantly transformed into countless thin, golden swords, pouring in like a torrential rain and deeply piercing into its massive body.

Despite Qin Yu's best efforts to concentrate, she was still unable to see the scene clearly.

In just a moment, a shower of golden stars burst forth from its body, each ray of golden light containing an indescribable sharpness.

"Snapped!"

The colossal tortoise, as large as a small mountain, was torn into countless fragments by this attack, and a jet-black crystal core suddenly flew out from the rain of blood.

The Empress was prepared and seized him in one swift motion.

"A Void Beast Crystal Core at the Half-Saint Realm."

Qin Yu's pupils contracted, and she could clearly sense the immense energy within the crystal core in the Empress's hand.

The Empress wore a calm expression, as if the half-saint realm beast she had so easily slain was nothing more than a speck of dust brushed from her sleeve, not worth mentioning.

Qin Yu silently memorized this scene.

With a wave of his hand, he could annihilate a powerful enemy, while still appearing completely unfazed.

When he has the chance in the future, he will also learn from the Empress's aura and show off his divine power in front of everyone.

At that time, I will make sure Tu Yaoyao knows that a true master moves with effortless grace, unlike her who, after killing two men in black robes, still eagerly awaits my praise.

The Empress casually tossed the crystal core left behind by the giant tortoise into her storage space. She glanced around but did not sense any more of the aura of a half-saint level Void Beast.

Clearly, even within this rift, a Void Beast at the Half-Saint Realm is among the most elite of existences.
