"Submit to you, a little brat like you?"
Ancient Dragon Turtle looked at Chu Fengmian, his face vividly showing a hint of a swift smile.
"A young junior with such big talk, you think with your abilities, you could help me break through to the realm of Divine Power?"
The realm of Divine Power was a watershed, a boundary that countless monsters could not surpass in their lifetimes.
And now, Chu Fengmian had suddenly said he was sufficient to help the Ancient Dragon Turtle break through into the realm of Divine Power.
In the heart of the Ancient Dragon Turtle, there was simply no belief.
Had it not been for the fact that Chu Fengmian’s body was indeed extremely peculiar, possessing the blood of an ancient battle dragon, he would not have wasted words with Chu Fengmian.
"You don’t believe it? Then you can try it first."
Chu Fengmian did not indulge in any nonsense.
At his fingertip, a drop of blood slowly emerged, shimmering an exceptionally dazzling gold.
"Real dragon blood? No, this is ancient battle dragon blood!"
Seeing the golden blood on Chu Fengmian’s fingertip, Ancient Dragon Turtle felt the blood in his own body yearning for this drop of essence blood.
This drop was the most pure and ancient battle dragon blood.
Although not the most central essence blood, the power emanating from it was enough to enchant and intoxicate the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
"Ancient Dragon Turtle, this fresh blood is for you first."
Chu Fengmian glanced at the Ancient Dragon Turtle, flicked his fingertip, and the drop of golden blood flew towards the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
Seeing the golden blood fly over, the Ancient Dragon Turtle hurriedly opened its massive jaw to swallow the golden blood and began to refine it.
Even this tiny drop of golden blood was enough for the Ancient Dragon Turtle to feel that its own blood had become more refined.
If it could acquire more of this golden blood, it truly might have the potential to break through to the realm of Divine Power.
"Ancient Dragon Turtle, you should understand now. As long as you submit, I, Chu Fengmian, pledge to help you step into the realm of Divine Power."
Chu Fengmian’s eyes were fixed firmly on the Ancient Dragon Turtle as he spoke calmly.
"This is your last chance; without my help, you will never break through in your lifetime."
Every word of Chu Fengmian was engraved in the heart of the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
The blood of Chu Fengmian indeed gave the Ancient Dragon Turtle hope to break through to the realm of Divine Power.
And Chu Fengmian’s words were not wrong.
This was indeed its last opportunity.
The Ancient Dragon Turtle, in fact, was already approaching old age; although its body was not yet decrepit, it was no longer youthful.
To break through to the realm of Divine Power on its own was almost an impossible task.
Now, this was indeed its final chance.
But for such a lofty peak-level monster from the Emperor of Fertility Realm to submit to a mere Martial Artist in the body tempering realm was something its heart completely rejected.
Its former master was the Emperor of Fertility, the founding monarch of this martial country.
Chu Fengmian was still far too weak, but the Ancient Dragon Turtle did not wish to give up this chance.
The allure of the Divine Sea Realm was something no monster could resist, and it was no exception.
Upon entering the Divine Sea Realm, monsters could speak like humans, and even transform into human form, becoming Demon Gods rather than just monsters.
"Kid, as long as you are willing to help me break through to the realm of Divine Power, I am willing to sign a pact with you, how about that? I will help you cultivate to the Emperor of Fertility Realm, and I can also ensure your safety within this martial kingdom."
"These terms are not low, right?"
The Ancient Dragon Turtle’s gaze shifted as it spoke.
If he were to truly submit, his heart would still resist ten thousand times over, so now his only choice was to employ delay tactics.
"There is only one path, submission."
Chu Fengmian looked at the Ancient Dragon Turtle as he spoke, his tone growing much colder.
"You, an Ancient Dragon Turtle at the peak of the Riding Wind Realm—if it weren’t for my weakness today, how could I have allowed you to become my subordinate?"
"This is your last chance. Submit, and I guarantee you can step into the God Sea Realm. Other than that, there are no options."
Chu Fengmian’s voice was icy as he spoke.
In his past life, an Ancient Dragon Turtle at the peak of the Riding Wind Realm would have meant nothing to him. Even the servants of the Sword Dao Master were powerful beings that had reached the realm of Divine Power.
Offering this Ancient Dragon Turtle the chance to serve was already giving it an opportunity.
"I can give you countless elixirs, countless Spiritual Medicines, martial techniques, secret laws—whatever you want, I can provide."
The Ancient Dragon Turtle hurriedly exclaimed.
"Just change the terms. Whatever they are, I agree, how’s that?"
"There is only one path—submit, or remain forever unable to step into the realm of Divine Power. The choice is yours."
Chu Fengmian spoke coldly and paid no further heed to the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
He was giving it one last opportunity to choose.
In Chu Fengmian’s grip lay the key to the Ancient Dragon Turtle’s breakthrough—its blood was the only opportunity for the creature to break through now.
The Ancient Dragon Turtle attempted to say something more, but seeing Chu Fengmian’s demeanor, it understood.
Chu Fengmian’s words were final; there was no room for negotiation. It had wanted to bargain, but Chu Fengmian’s attitude left no space for discussion.
To submit was something the Ancient Dragon Turtle was a thousand, ten thousand times reluctant to do.
However, that single drop of Ancient War Dragon Blood had ignited a fire in its tranquil heart.
The realm of Divine Power was within reach.
How could it resist the temptation of stepping into the realm of Divine Power?
Its lifespan was also nearing its end. If it couldn’t break through, it might fall within a few hundred years.
It had to seize this final opportunity.
"This youngster is utterly uncompromising."
"Damn it, is submission really that difficult? I had previously submitted to the Emperor of Fertility; I can submit to this youngster today, as long as it enables me to enter the realm of Divine Power, and that’s not too great of an ask."
The Ancient Dragon Turtle cursed inwardly.
Faced with the realm of Divine Power, even submission was worth enduring.
A martial artist’s lifespan isn’t extensive. Even one who has reached the Divine Power Realm would have only a thousand years of life.
A thousand years of Time in exchange for breaking through to the Divine Power Realm was not such a bad deal.
"Fine, youngster, you’re formidable. I choose to submit to you, as long as you can aid my ascent into the realm of Divine Power."
The Ancient Dragon Turtle declared loudly.
"Now that I’ve agreed to submit, you should give me more Ancient War Dragon Blood, right?"
This Ancient War Dragon Blood was the key to its breakthrough.
With more Ancient War Dragon Blood to enhance its lineage, entering the realm of Divine Power would not be a difficult task for the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
"Hold on, let’s first sign a covenant."
Chu Fengmian waved his hand grandly, and an ancient covenant appeared between him and the Ancient Dragon Turtle.
