The Stone Statue opened its eyes, a spark of spirit flashing within. The petrification receded from its eyes, gradually restoring its flesh body.
Atop its head, the single horn flickered, as if transmitting a message outward.
After a long while, the petrification on the statue completely vanished, transforming it into a living body that stood up and started moving its joints.
It gazed out into the Chaos with a dazed expression.
It was only after some time that it managed to mutter a word with difficulty, "Turtle!"
If Su He were to cross through the Chaos and come here, she would recognize at a glance that this creature, which had been a Stone Statue, belonged to the Yuan Sovereign Clan, the very ones recorded in the annals of the Evil-suppressing Taoist Palace, who attacked the Dragon Turtle and sealed its past life's body.
The Stone Man stamped its foot and the Stone Drum uttered a dull drumming sound, ready to pilot the altar and shatter the Chaos on its way towards Su He.
