Absolute Destiny Game

Looking further down, the cracks between the rocks subtly revealed the pattern of a giant turtle shell.

There truly is a giant turtle beneath this island!

Xiao Jie hurriedly swam downward, moving along the edge of the island, occasionally pulling away to observe the giant turtle's state more directly.

Soon he discovered a massive flipper, which had practically fused with the surrounding rocks due to the passage of time, with only a small portion exposed.

If he could shatter the rock, he should be able to free it.

Xiao Jie continued to swim forward, soon finding another front flipper.

Around the edge of the island, a giant cave appeared before Xiao Jie, where the turtle's head must be hidden.

Carefully, Xiao Jie groped his way inside and saw an incredibly large head, with eyes closed, seemingly in slumber.

Xiao Jie cautiously approached, but a golden talisman suddenly appeared at the cave entrance, blocking his way.

This must be the Immortal Seal.

Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and slashed with his sword; the golden talisman flashed but showed no sign of being destroyed. He attacked while observing, the golden light spreading to form a vast network with the surrounding rocks.

Xiao Jie moved around the island, attacking occasionally, soon realizing the entire island was sealed by this golden talisman. The rocks on the island also seemed to be a derivative of the seal.

To awaken the turtle, it seems an all-out attack is necessary. This giant turtle doesn't seem to be identified as a "unit" in the system; it has no health bar or name, so it likely won't become a monster that attacks him.

Xiao Jie comforted himself, activating the Demon-Vibrating Sword Qi.

Demon-Vibrating Sword Qi—One Cut, Two Pieces!

Swish!

Yet the seal remained totally unresponsive, and the strike on the rock was equally ineffective, not even showing a damage number.

Seriously, this is a Divine Artifact, and it can't even cut through this?

In years past, seekers of immortality came to this place, all were strong. If even they couldn't awaken the giant turtle, a normal attack evidently isn't enough.

It seems Dragon Transformation is necessary.

Xiao Jie was somewhat apprehensive, for he wasn't entirely sure even with Dragon Transformation, but it was the most powerful attack he could think of.

Essence Soul Transformation—Xuanming Abyss Dragon!

Xiao Jie's body instantly expanded, black and white Dragon Scales emerged on his skin, Dragon Horns appeared on his head, his body elongated, limbs transformed to Dragon Claws, in the blink of an eye, he became a cloud-riding Demon Dragon.

Xiao Jie hovered above the island, summoning storm clouds.

Dragon Thunder Defense—Thunderbolt!

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

Bolts of lightning struck the island, yet no reaction occurred.

This doesn't work either? Must need to attack from underwater.

Xiao Jie dove swiftly, launching a series of attacks against the rock-covered limbs and belly.

Cold Ice Breath!

No reaction.

Dragon Claw Strike! Divine Dragon Tail!

Still no reaction.

No matter how Xiao Jie tore and bit, applied Water Control Spell, or spewed Cold Ice Breath, the rocks remained unmoved, only the golden talisman glimmered occasionally, while the giant turtle showed no sign of reaction.

Xiao Jie halted his attack, thinking this can't be the right way to solve the problem.

A stronger attack is necessary.

But what attack could be stronger than that of a Demon Dragon?

No, his approach was wrong.

Typically, in such game puzzles, there would be a corresponding game mechanic for players to trigger. As long as the right mechanism is found, success is assured, usually not relying on brute force.

Moreover, the puzzle's mechanism must be nearby.

Upon thinking of this, Xiao Jie scanned the surroundings, his gaze suddenly tightened, looking toward the direction of his arrival.

An answer suddenly flashed in his mind—North Sea Giant Kuo!

That's right, only its attack could be strong enough to break the seal and awaken the giant turtle.

He had to lure it over.

Xiao Jie was determined, and without hesitation, flew toward his arrival direction.

It took a full half hour to swim here, but flying back took less than two minutes, there he saw the Giant Kuo chasing a pod of whales.

By now, Xiao Jie's True Dragon Transformation duration had expired, fortunately, his Demon Spirit Myriad Forms talent allowed for mana consumption to continue extending the transformation time, though the mana consumption for the Dragon Transformation was indeed high; if it weren't for Xiao Jie's Mana Regeneration Talent, he wouldn't last long.

But even so, Xiao Jie had to make a quick strike.

Dragon Thunder Defense—Heavenly Thunder Spell!

Crash! A lightning bolt struck the Giant Kuo.

-575!

For the Giant Kuo with one hundred twenty thousand Blood Volume, less than 1% of its health was reduced, and it even seemed to have healing abilities, regaining full health in the blink of an eye.

Still, it was successfully enraged.

The Giant Kuo abandoned the whale pod, soared into the air, and lunged toward Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie flew while occasionally casting lightning to ensure he maintained its aggro.

The Giant Kuo accelerated nonstop, akin to a speeding airship, flying increasingly faster, its massive body drawing near, with intense pressure.

Xiao Jie hastily accelerated, and fortunately, when it came to flying speed, the dragon prevailed, two minutes later, the distant giant turtle came into view.

Glancing back, he saw the Giant Kuo was still quite far away. Landing at the turtle's tail position, coiled up, Xiao Jie emitted a provoking Dragon Roar."
