Chapter 128 - Continuous Births
In the next moment, its hair stood on end—if it had hair.
“But, if you can’t force me…”
As Feng Xia spoke, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled upwards. He grinned and revealed an intense smile. “Then it’s my turn to force you—”
Kaboom—
The Peerless 13 Knives!
Ever since he mastered the conversion method, Feng Xia’s ability to switch between the Knife Heart and the Sword-Heart had become incomparably skilled as time passed. There was no longer the slightest delay and he could execute it as if he was simply using his arm!
Moreover, after this period of rest, his magical power had already recovered to the extent where he could unleash another slash!
“What are you going to do to me—”
The proud metal egg finally showed a trace of panic. “I’m warning you! My background is not something you can imagine! If you cause me to be born prematurely again, I’ll be doomed…”
A vast knife light burst forth. It was incomparably stunning and glorious. In an instant, it cut open the void and illuminated the distant sky!
It was as if a giant with a vicious aura was waving its knife at the sky, pressing forward with indomitable will and determined never to return even after a hundred battles!
“Heck you—”
The metal egg suddenly let out a miserable scream.
Immediately after, the scream turned into a rage that seemed to be on the brink of tears. “I’m going to be born prematurely again—”
Crack!
Tiny cracks spread at an astonishing speed on the slightly metallic eggshell. In the blink of an eye, they spread throughout the eggshell.
Feng Xia grinned and raised the hilt of the Jinghua Sword. He formed another light hammer and smashed it down ruthlessly.
“Fellow practitioner within the egg, I can tell that you’re having a hard time with your cultivation, so I have come here to help you transcend the tribulation!”
Crack, crack, crack—
Finally, the metal egg that was covered in cracks could no longer hold on. The cracks suddenly exploded, turning into fragments that filled the sky. At the same time, a black shadow shot out from the shattered eggshell like a bullet!
“Kid! You caused me to be born prematurely! If I don’t take revenge…”
“Fellow practitioner.”
Feng Xia sheathed his knife and stood up. His expression was as calm as water as he said lightly, “What premature birth?”
In fact, although Feng Xia looked calm on the surface, he was cursing in his heart.
—What came out from within the broken metal egg… was still a damn egg!
Moreover, it was similar to the previous time. After being born a second time, the egg had shrunk again. Moreover, the patterns on the eggshell looked even more magical and complicated. There was even more metallic luster on the surface. From afar, it looked more like a metal pill!
“My egg! You broke my eggshell! And you’re still saying… Huh?”
Metal egg version 2.0 stopped mid-sentence.
It was shocked to discover that even though it was the third time it was born… it was still an egg!
“Something’s not right! Something’s really not right!” It suddenly spun around. “Three times! It’s already the third time! Why am I still an egg?!”
Although there were indeed various negative effects of premature birth, it would not be difficult for it to eliminate those effects and establish a strong foundation.
However, the situation had now exceeded its expectations.
It had been born three times, but it was still an egg. Moreover, the more times it was born, the size of the egg became smaller while the eggshell became harder and stronger!
“If… if the next time I’m born… if I’m still an egg…”
At the thought of a certain possibility, metal egg version 2.0 could not help but tremble a few times.
As its size became smaller and smaller, and the eggshell became harder and harder…
If this happened a few more times, would it not completely turn into a metal particle?
“Damn it! Damn it! There must be something wrong with that secret technique! I think I’ve been scammed!” Metal egg version 2.0 finally realized the key issue. “That’s right. I was still thinking why that guy would be so kind, giving me a secret technique for free. I didn’t expect there to be a huge trap buried inside!”
What made it panic even more was…
With its current strength, it seemed that it could no longer break the fortified eggshell!
“If I want to break the eggshell, I have to rely on external forces. However, if I use external forces to break the eggshell, it will only make the eggshell harder and harder… Damn it, I’m definitely not done with you—”
“What is that… Fellow practitioner.”
Feng Xia narrowed his eyes and stood at the side, carefully sizing up this strange egg. At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he could see a large number of invisible light balls quietly dropping down.
Feng Xia’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Azure Dragon Bloodline x30
Ancestral Dragon Great Breath Technique fragment x98
Essence x198
Spirit x6
When he saw those attribute light balls, Feng Xia almost thought that he was hallucinating.
—So many?!
Too many!
There were so many that he felt like he was in a dream!
All along, the number of light balls that his attribute superpower could cause to drop was at most two or three. This time, not only did the number hit double digits, but it even hit triple digits!
“Could it be that the lousy mobile game Online has started its seasonal activity?”
Feng Xia could not help but mutter.
Originally, he thought that the higher the target’s cultivation level, the more abundant the drop.
However, from the looks of it, this rule might need to be slightly modified. The target’s cultivation level might not be very high, but if the standard was high enough, there could still be a shocking number of drops!
“That’s right. The origin of this metal egg is rather mysterious. Usually, demon beasts that are still inside the eggs would not have such intelligence, nor would they have the strength close to the Primal Core stage…”
“I don’t know what this Ancestral Dragon Great Breath Technique is. Although I have absorbed 98 fragments, it gives me the feeling that this is only the tip of the iceberg…”
Feng Xia made an immediate judgment after putting together the facts of everything that had happened during the short battle.
This metal egg’s background was definitely not ordinary!
Milk it!
At this point, he said with a wide grin, “You seem to be very troubled. Do you need me to help you solve your worries?”
With that, he waved the butcher knife in his hand.
“Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t! I’m afraid of you, alright?!” Metal egg version 2.0 panicked on the spot. “Don’t move! Don’t move anymore! Put away your knife! If you stab me again, I’m afraid it’s going to be a difficult birth and not just a premature birth…”
“Oh?”
Feng Xia gathered a trace of magical power, but he did not stop there. Instead, he looked at metal egg version 2.0 indifferently. “Are the demon beasts acting strangely at North Gazing Cliff because of fellow practitioner?”
Feeling the terrifying murderous aura that could tear the sky and earth apart, the metal egg felt as if there was a blade on his back. It hurriedly jumped a few times and replied, “It’s not me! I haven’t done anything! I’m just training my mother to stimulate the awakening of her true dragon bloodline so that I can comfortably be a second generation dragon after I’m born…”
Feng Xia: “?”
Why did the egg’s words sound very reasonable at first, but when one listened carefully, one would realize that every sentence was nonsensical and did not have any logic at all?
“Alright, I’ll ask another question.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Feng Xia asked again, “Fellow practitioner, what are your plans next?”
He waved the butcher knife in his hand with a warm expression on his face.
