The seawater quickly turned a bloody color, with countless severed limbs and corpses floating in the sea, ultimately nourishing billions of carnivorous algae.

Zhao Sheng observed the entire slaughter process, witnessing the young dragon turtles transform from somewhat clumsy to increasingly skillful.

The process of killing countless sea beasts was also a gradual familiarization for them with their own flesh and various innate divine abilities.

Meanwhile, the young dragon turtles continued devouring algae and various sea beast corpses, constantly growing in size.

Half a year later, until the last Ninth Rank sea beast in the Red Sea Realm was killed, the brutal slaughter finally came to an end.

Without a doubt, the sixty-three young dragon turtles emerged as the final victors, but they were also exhausted and covered in scars.

Zhao Shengben thought those lurking observers wouldn’t miss this opportunity, yet surprisingly, both the Spirit Clan and the Star Sky Human Clan held their ground.

Only two Divinity Transformation Level Demon Emperors suddenly launched a surprise attack on one young dragon turtle.

But before the two Demon Emperors could severely injure the dragon turtle, a long, drawn-out mooing sound suddenly came from the sky.

The mooing sound instantly echoed throughout the Red Sea Realm, and before the two Demon Emperors could react, their bodies scattered like gravel, turning into nothingness.

At the moment the mooing sound swept across the sea floor, Zhao Sheng’s figure flickered several times, successfully avoiding the wave of sonic attacks.

After the mooing rose, the Spirit Clan, Star Sky Human Clan, and other Divinity Transformation Level Demon Emperors suddenly panicked, fleeing quickly to avoid those increasingly mountain-sized young dragon turtles.

...

Another year passed, the young dragon turtles surfaced one after another after being well fed.

Zhao Sheng was also secretly observing their every move.

After several years of growth, the sixty-three young dragon turtles had generally grown to over three hundred miles in size, floating on the water as if they were large islands.

At this time, aside from Zhao Sheng and the Sea God, these sixty-three young dragon turtles had undeniably become the absolute rulers of the Red Sea Realm, with no natural enemies at all.

Moo... moo... moo...

On a sunny and pleasant day, repeated high-pitched mooing suddenly came from beyond the atmosphere.

The sound seemed like a kind of call, and the young dragon turtles playing on the sea surface all looked up to the sky, their black diamond-like eyes showing eagerness and excitement.

Not long after, one young dragon turtle suddenly leaped high from the sea surface and then wobbled as it flew towards the sky.

Merely a dozen breaths later, the young dragon turtle stabilized itself, its ascension speed instantly increasing tenfold.

After it, the second, and third, young dragon turtles ascended one after another, quickly flying towards the atmosphere.

Under the call and enlightenment of the mother dragon turtle, the newborn dragon turtles soared into the sky one after another, heading outwards.

One, two, three... sixty-three young dragon turtles successively slammed into the atmosphere, their figures quickly engulfed by clouds, disappearing without a trace.

Zhao Sheng secretly hid on the edge of the atmosphere, remotely "watching" the movement within the atmosphere.

Rumble, rumble...

When the young dragon turtles flew into the atmosphere, accompanied by a dull roaring sound, the entire atmosphere was instantly ignited by billions of thunder.

Billions of thunder appeared out of nowhere, rendering the atmosphere crimson, with endless thunder converging into a vast ocean, blocking the dragon turtles’ path.

The majority of the sixty-three young dragon turtles unhesitatingly charged into the ocean of thunder, allowing countless bolts to continuously bombard them.

Relying on their inherently extremely powerful flesh, they flew upwards and ultimately successfully endured the test of the heavenly tribulation, flying out of the Red Sea Realm.

But not all young dragon turtles were so lucky; two of them, perhaps timid or flawed, had exhausted all their strength halfway through the Thunder Sea, finally falling from the sky with mournful cries.

They quickly dropped out of the atmosphere and crashed into the sea like meteorites, causing countless towering waves to erupt, killing scores of life in the process.

Moo, moo...

Just as the two young dragon turtles crashed into the sea surface, the mooing from the sky grew increasingly loud and urgent.

Yet, to Zhao Sheng’s surprise, these female dragon turtles were only calling in place, showing no intent to enter the Red Sea Realm.

Looking around, the young dragon turtles that had successfully found their mothers landed on Mother Zhao’s back.

Compared to the million-mile diameter of the adult dragon turtle, these three-hundred-mile young dragon turtles were as insignificant as grains of gravel, disappearing instantly upon landing on the vast turtle’s back.

On the other side, the two failed young dragon turtles surfaced again, then continued to soar upwards, trying to charge into the sky.

But with the thunder tribulation blocking the way, the two young dragon turtles repeatedly failed, their bodies gradually covered in scars, and their flight height diminishing each time.

Days later, the two scarred young dragon turtles floated on the water surface, looking skyward with repeated mournful cries.

Yet, no matter how urgently they called, the "moon" beyond the sky began slowly drifting away from the Red Sea Realm.

Along with the "moon" drifted the sixty-odd female dragon turtles.

Seeing their mothers about to leave, the two young dragon turtles grew extremely anxious, once more exerting all their strength into the atmosphere.

But as with previous days, they couldn’t escape the grip of gravity, ultimately falling powerless into the sea.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng had already grasped all the causes and effects.

All of this was merely a test, a test of whether the young dragon turtles could independently fly out of the atmosphere.
