Chapter 739 - 580: The Mysterious Giant Egg

Above the Outer Sea, the winds whipped the clouds into turbulence.An army of cultivators and demon beasts engaged in an unprecedented battle,

with vibrant divine techniques and magic flying chaotically through the sky, accompanied by the booming of various Array runes and spiritual energy giant cannons.

The scene was even more brutal than the confrontation between the Five Great Cultivation Realms and the Blood Realm’s demonic path.

Fortunately, the Outer Sea cultivators, who roamed the edge of life and death for years, honing their adventuring and demon hunting skills, demonstrated superior divine abilities far above those in the Five Great Cultivation Realms.

This made the massive beast tide incapable of breaching their defenses for a while.

At that moment.

A cyan streak silently shot out from the End of the World, flying deep into the Outer Sea.

Qin Ming restrained his aura, once again disguising himself as a Golden Core stage Merfolk.

After several days of flight, he arrived once more at the lair of the Tier Five Demon Venerable—Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp.

Before leaving, Qin Ming had handed over the Tai Hao Nine Luminaries Immortal Extinction Array to Xiao Xun, ensuring their safety even if Cangming Demon Venerable descended personally.

Qin Ming was already familiar with the terrain of the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp, having probed it multiple times with his divine thought in the past.

With the large-scale outbreak of the beast tide, the Cangming Demon Venerable was successfully lured away by Nanming Ancestor and others, leaving the island unguarded.

As a result, the remaining small fry on the island were like sheep before a wolf to Qin Ming.

Nonetheless, there were multiple array restrictions laid across the island by the cunning leader.

Yet, in the face of the Heaven-Devouring Rat’s innate bloodline talent, these restrictions were no more formidable than paper, allowing Qin Ming to quickly infiltrate the black fog-shrouded swamp.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"If we delay the Demon Venerable’s matters, you’ll be held accountable!"

Deep within the Bone Swamp, near a Ten-Thousand-Year-old Wood Demon, guards were in place.

Qin Ming glanced briefly, counting four or five Tier Four transformed demon cultivators guarding the perimeter of the demon plant.

Currently, many demon beasts were delivering blood food from the outside, which was continuously injected into the Blood Pool by the Tier Four demon cultivators.

Hanging from the Ten-Thousand-Year-old Wood Demon were several corpses of human Nascent Soul cultivators, with dark cyan branches penetrating their bodies, greedily extracting nutrients.

In the silent breaths, even the sound of the Wood Demon’s heart could be heard pounding, echoing within the dark swamp.

Qin Ming watched the bizarre plant, his gaze flickering continuously.

Conversely, his lifebound spirit plant revealed a look of excitement, its black vines dancing.

Disguised as a member of the Merfolk Race, Qin Ming held a storage vessel, feigning contribution of blood food, mingling with the demon cultivators.

"Hey you over there... trying to die? What are you looking around for?"

A Tier Four Blood Shark Demon Saint in charge of guarding the area shouted harshly at Qin Ming!

Immediately afterward, a fierce wave of demon thought swept over Qin Ming recklessly.

Since Qin Ming arrived here, he hadn’t intended to keep up the facade any longer.

Thus, he unleashed his overwhelmingly powerful divine thought, rivaling a mid-stage Divinity Transformation!

In an instant.

An extremely forceful spatial suppression came crashing down, and the Blood Shark Demon Saint’s expression changed dramatically!

"Something’s wrong! It’s Divinity Transformation Stage!"

The other Tier Four demon cultivators sensed this terrifying divine thought power and instinctively tried to send out a warning signal.

However.

The next moment.

These Tier Four demon cultivators, withstanding for just two breaths of time, were crushed by the domineering divine thought power, directly compressing them into dust.

Their bodies, seeking to flee, were frozen on the spot, their eyes bursting with outrage as they exploded into several bursts of blood mist.

Qin Ming’s eyes remained calm as he flicked his fingers, casting the Thorn Technique onto the corpses, casually collecting the Blood Pearls and Demon Pills.

With his mighty divine thought power now, exterminating these Tier Four transformed demon cultivators was akin to a dimensional reduction strike.

The line between life and death lay solely within Qin Ming’s thoughts, allowing no room for opposition.

Those low-tier demon cultivators coming to offer blood food, upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, all attempted to flee.

Qin Ming flicked his fingers once more, unleashing a Yin Evil Cold Rain upon the Soul-Eroding Bone Swamp...

The island was instantly cleared, with Blood Pearls entering Qin Ming’s hand, all given directly to the Immortal Vine.

After dealing with these small fry, Qin Ming no longer concealed himself and approached the Ten-Thousand-Year-old Wood Demon directly.

This demon plant seemingly also noticed Qin Ming, the human intruder, with dark cyan branches snaking toward him.

However, in the next moment.

Before Qin Ming could make a move, his lifebound spirit plant from the Little Spirit Realm, the Immortal Vine, surged forth like a black-inked tidal wave.

Black and eerie, the vines danced swiftly, appearing in front of the Ten-Thousand-Year-old Wood Demon.

The Wood Demon, unprepared for such a sudden change, exhibited extreme fear the moment the black vines appeared, as though it had met its natural enemy.

Its entire being trembled uncontrollably.

Splurt!

The Immortal Vine’s black vines entwined the entire Ten-Thousand-Year-old Wood Demon, then the void poison stings easily pierced its branches, beginning a frenzied extraction of nutrients.

In an instant.

This Tier Five demonic plant instantly withered like a deflated balloon, and the twisted faces on the leaves disappeared one by one.

The Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Immortal Vine, seemed to have absorbed an incredibly abundant supplement, even more exhilarated than when devouring a Blood Pearl.

The Black Vine’s aura also began to rise and grow, flourishing and covering the sky.

After it had absorbed everything, the Black Vine transformed back into an inky pool and crawled back into the Little Spirit Realm.

It then began to digest the nutrients obtained from the Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon...

Qin Ming hadn’t expected his Lifebound Spirit Plant to be so fierce, resolving this demonic plant in no time.

But it saved him some trouble.

The purpose of his trip, besides this Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon, was the hidden object beneath the Blood Pool.

It was also the source of the Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable’s Beast Tide.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon was completely devoured by the Immortal Vine, turning into a withered tree, leaves fallen, vitality gone.

Qin Ming sent his Divine Thought along its tangled roots, probing downwards.

Suddenly.

At the bottom of the Blood Pool, there existed a massive gray egg! A full three zhang in size!

The roots of the former Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon wrapped around it, absorbing the essence from this mysterious giant egg.

However, these roots seemingly could not pierce through the egg’s shell, only absorbing the leaked Demon Qi, which allowed them to grow to such an extent.

And the collected blood sacrifices were actually nurturing this giant egg.

Qin Ming waved his hand, and the entire Blood Pool and withered wood were flung aside, revealing the giant egg completely in front of him.

He attempted to probe the inside of the mysterious giant egg with his Divine Thought but found even his Divine Thought, comparable to the early-stage Divinity Transformation, was repelled.

"This... could it be the egg of that Tier Five Demon Venerable?" Qin Ming was momentarily stunned.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s eyes shone upon seeing the egg, drooling, and excitedly touched the outer shell, saying, "Haha! So fragrant! Master, what kind of demon beast egg is this?"

And Qingyang the Old Demon leapt up from the Blood Massacre Spiritual Treasure at the sight of this egg, eyes wide, exclaiming:

"This aura... it’s actually a True Spirit Egg!!"

"What luck you have, Friend Qin!"

It had to be Qingyang the Old Demon, experienced and knowledgeable, who recognized the origin of this giant egg at a glance.

"What are you saying? A True Spirit Egg?" The Heaven-Devouring Rat quickly retracted its tiny hand in shock, scurrying back behind Qin Ming.

Qin Ming’s expression also changed, unsure as he asked, "Old ghost, are you sure? Is this really a True Spirit Egg? Don’t joke around."

Usually, those claiming to possess the bloodline of an Ancient True Spirit hold themselves in high regard.

For example, the Cyan-faced Poison Flood Dragon that Qin Ming once exterminated, and the Crown Prince Flood Dragon of the East Sea Dragon Palace did bear a trace of Ancient True Dragon bloodline, though exceedingly thin.

Bloodlines vary in concentration, like these Flood Dragon types in the Human Realm; having even a millionth of a True Spirit bloodline would be fortuitous.

But a True Spirit Egg is different; it is completely birthed from an Ancient True Spirit, with bloodline concentration reaching over seventy to eighty percent, even utterly pure.

Legend has it that these Ancient True Spirits are born at least Tier Four or Five, possibly even Tier Six or Seven.

"My vision is never wrong; this Outer Sea was invaded by the Ancient Demon Realm ten thousand years ago, likely leaving this behind." Qingyang the Old Demon said with confidence.

"It’s likely that Tier Five Cangming Demon Venerable used this True Spirit Egg to quickly become the dominant ruler of the Outer Sea..."

"This demon wrought havoc in the Outer Sea, attempting by any means to draw from the True Spirit Egg’s blood essence using the Wood Demon, and if allowed time, achieving Tier Six Demon God status would be inevitable..."

After listening to Qingyang the Old Demon, Qin Ming’s reaction was somewhat calm.

In contrast, the Heaven-Devouring Rat was incredibly excited, "What?! Eating it makes one stronger? That’s just great!"

"Eat it? Be careful you don’t burst your belly!" Qin Ming pointed at its nose.

Then he asked Qingyang the Old Demon, "Old ghost, do you know... which True Spirit laid this egg?"

"Well... that, even I don’t know..." Qingyang the Old Demon replied.

Then,.

Qin Ming gazed at the mysterious giant egg before him for a while, then, without hesitation, began collecting this True Spirit Egg using his methods.

As a spiritual light shot out, the gray giant egg began to rise, spinning in the air, gradually shrinking into a three-inch gray egg.

Qin Ming held it, sensing it slightly, finding the life force within extremely weak, nearly undetectable.

It had likely become a dead egg due to the millennia of changes and incessant torment by Cangming the Demon Venerable.

Qin Ming threw it into the Little Spirit Realm, planning to take it back for further study.

...

Just as Qin Ming’s Lifebound Spirit Plant devoured the Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon and took away the True Spirit Egg,.

Near the Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion’s human territory, a demonic youth’s face suddenly changed drastically!

He seemed to sense a change, angrily cursing, "Damn it! How dare someone plots against me!! You must be tired of living!"

Cangming the Demon Venerable was also extremely frustrated, this large-scale Beast Tide invasion of the Human Race, the overwhelming situation he anticipated did not occur.

Instead, the opposing Human Race unexpectedly deployed a Tier Five Super Array, causing significant losses to the Demon Race.

Even he had to consider the formidable array before him carefully, retreating in the face of the fierce assault from the nine small suns, as even a Tier Five Demon Venerable body would not withstand it.
