Chapter 127 - Egg



Crack, crack, crack!

At first, the cracking sound was extremely soft, but immediately after, it became much louder alongside the cracks on the eggshell!

It was also at this moment that Feng Xia finally noticed that the thing which suddenly collided with him was not a poop egg spirit, but a strange stone egg!

“Strange, what kind of demon beast’s egg is this? I don’t think I’ve seen any records of this type of demon beast in the Demon Beast Book…”

Feng Xia took some time to comb through his memories and then shook his head with a solemn expression.

He had already browsed through the entire library of the Thousand Autumn Valley. Although he did not dare to say that he knew the details of every book by heart, based on his current memory, as long as he had read about such a powerful demon beast in a book, it was impossible for him not to have any impression of it. This was especially since this beast was so powerful that it could already be such a threat to him even when it had not hatched yet.

In other words…

It was either an alien or a mutant!

For demon beasts with strong territorial concepts, these two situations often meant provocation and war!

“Don’t tell me…”

Feng Xia stared at the dirty stone egg and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. “Could the demon beasts be acting strangely at the North Gazing Cliff because of this strange stone egg?”

Although this guess sounded ridiculous, it was not impossible.

It was a stone egg with a strange origin. The living being in the egg already possessed a high level of intelligence and strength that was close to a Primal Core cultivator even before it was born. Coupled with the speech and actions of this egg, it was the embodiment of the word ‘arrogant’…

In an instant, Feng Xia could already imagine the scene of an alien demon egg messing up the Canglan area. It could not be that those abnormally restless demon beasts were actually just running laps to exercise, right?

“You… Damn you! I’m going to be born prematurely!”

Just as Feng Xia was on full alert and trying to recover his cultivation as soon as possible, an earth-shattering scream suddenly came from the stone egg with a huge wound on it.

Feng Xia immediately focused his eyes. He took deep breaths of the spiritual energy of the world and raised his guard.

The cracks on the stone egg became denser and denser with continuous cracking sounds. They quickly spread outwards as fragments kept peeling off!

Since the spiritual creature in the egg could already cause the demon beasts of Mount Canglan to act strangely before it was even born, could one imagine how shocking it would be once it entered the world?

Feng Xia did not dare to risk having his own fate and the future of the Thousand Autumn Valley facing the claws of a powerful demon beast of unknown origin!

“I’ve only recovered 10% of my magical power. It’s impossible for me to use that knife again. Apart from that, is there any other way to hurt this demon beast…”

In a split second, countless thoughts flashed through Feng Xia’s mind.

Unless… he relied on external forces!

“What external forces can… I know! If I can detonate the Spirit King Sword and slash out with the energy contained in the sword in an instant…”

Feng Xia’s eyes gradually lit up.

This method undoubtedly required sacrificing the Spirit King Sword. It was indeed a great pity. After all, the Spirit King Sword was also a top-grade treasure of the Dao Platform. The power of ordinary weapons was definitely not comparable with it.

However, in Feng Xia’s opinion, as long as he could remove a huge threat and ensure the safety of the Thousand Autumn Valley, what did it matter to sacrifice a Spirit King Sword?

Once he reached a higher cultivation level, he could even forge Primal Core and Dharma Characteristic treasures, not just Dao Platform treasures.

“It’s worth it… Let’s do this!”

Right at this moment, a heart-wrenching scream came from the egg, causing Feng Xia’s heart to tremble.

“Ah!”

“Ahhh!”

“I’m coming out! I’m about to be born—”

“What an asshole! I still wanted to stay in the egg for another eight to ten years! Now that you’ve caused me to be born prematurely and incur great losses, even if you use your life as compensation…”

Feng Xia was unmoved. He held a sword in one hand and a knife in the other and locked his aura onto the broken stone egg.

Generally speaking, the moment a demon beast was born and it lost the protection of the eggshell, it would be in its most fragile state. That would also be his only chance!

Time seemed to have slowed down several times.

Feng Xia could clearly see that more and more fragments were falling off the stone egg. At a certain moment, half of the eggshell shook and fell to the ground together with some egg liquid.

The spiritual creature in the stone egg was finally born!

“It’s time to make a move…”

Feng Xia took a deep breath and concentrated his energy into an unprecedented state. His chest puffed up slightly and the veins under his skin bulged. The sound of waves hitting the shore could be heard.

That was Feng Xia’s blood essence surging like a great river. He squeezed out all the energy he possessed and did not leave any leeway. He tried to raise this attack to an unprecedented limit!

Buzz—

The body of the Spirit King Sword trembled as if it was letting out an unwilling cry.

—Why me again?!

“Damn you! I really can’t hold it in anymore—”

Suddenly!!

A fist-sized black shadow flew out from the cracked eggshell. Its speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of one’s vision. In an instant, it brought about a series of sonic booms and exploded into white waves!

At this moment, Feng Xia’s sword had already swung out—

“What the hell!” the spiritual creature in the egg let out a miserable scream.

“…This is?”

The Spirit King Sword had already slashed down and fine cracks had appeared on the sword. In just another moment, it would completely collapse and inject the last bit of energy into this attack!

However, when Feng Xia’s sword landed on the surface of the eggshell, it could no longer move forward.

It was no longer just the broken eggshell, but a stone egg with an even more complicated surface pattern. It was also much smaller than the one before and was now only the size of a fist!

A brand new stone egg!

No, to be more precise…

Compared to the stone surface previously, the surface of this new egg seemed more like metal. Its defense mechanism was even more terrifying. It was more accurate to call it a metal egg!

“What the heck… A metal egg born from a stone egg?”

For a moment, Feng Xia was dumbfounded. His world view was being severely challenged.

This was no longer a matter of science or fantasy…

Instead, it was something more fundamental—was an egg born from an egg still considered an egg?!

It was a busy time for everybody, so could we not play such a game of nesting dolls?

At the same time, the spiritual creature in the egg also noticed the abnormality and immediately shouted hysterically, “It’s the second time! This is already the second time! Why am I still an egg when I’ve already come out of the egg!”

“And it’s even harder than the last time! With such a hard eggshell, how long will it take me to break out of it?!”

“Wait! Could it be that there’s something wrong with that secret technique…”

In Feng Xia’s vision, the stone egg… no, the metal egg’s surface patterns flickered, like a person changing his expression as he thought about an important matter.

“Kid… I can already tell that you’re not a gold essence.”

Suddenly, the metal egg flew in front of Feng Xia and said condescendingly, “Then, I have a huge opportunity for you… Are you willing to accept it?”

Feng Xia thought for a moment. “No, why?”

“…?”

“But.”

Suddenly, Feng Xia grinned. “You can try to force me.”
