The roar of the Stone Turtle continued, as if it was ready to unleash the fury accumulated over countless ages.
Xiao Chen leaned against the rock without moving. He waited for the Stone Turtle to awaken again. He had never heard of the name, Supreme Battle General Haotian of the Human Race.
However, he didn't think the Stone Turtle would lie. In this realm, some beings cannot speak without consequence, often because it involves cause and effect.
Moreover, he could sense something. Though the Stone Turtle appeared enraged, it clearly held no deep hatred toward the Gaotang Ancient Emperor. Instead, Xiao Chen faintly caught a hint of emotion—the kind that comes after feeling relieved about a long-held concern.
Clearly, even though the Gaotang Ancient Emperor hadn't awakened, he hadn't perished, which secretly delighted the Stone Turtle, for this was indeed the outcome it had been waiting for.
