Chapter 501: Mixed Blood Primal Chaos Snake Egg!

Translator: AstralGhost  Editor: Kurisu

The stronger a Demonic Beast was, the harder it was for them to bear offspring. The same went for this snake. It was already so perversely powerful, so it couldn’t possibly be allowed to produce offsprings in large batches, laying an entire nest of eggs with every single one fertilized perfectly.

Nature was fair. The stronger one was, the lower the probability of producing offspring. This huge snake had only given life to less than 10 baby snakes thoughout hundreds of millions of years!

Truthfully, the fact that it managed to hatch three baby snakes this time was already an extremely high number.

Bei Feng was currently exerting all his strengh to steal an egg.

“Damn it, this egg is actually so heavy!”

A line of sweat had appeared on Bei Feng’s head from the exertion. The weight of this egg had far exceeded what an object of its size should weigh.

Several minutes went by, and Bei Feng began to grow worried that this egg wouldn’t come through the portal in time.

Only when it finally appeared in the lake did he loose a breath of relief. However, he did not pull it out immediately.

The egg had been shrunk thousands of times to fit in the small lake.

Before he pulled it out completely, this egg seemed to be completely weightless as it floated atop the lake. Even when he put down the fishing rod, it wasn’t dragged into the water by the egg.

Bei Feng pulled out large amounts of spirit fruits from his spatial ring and directly placed them in his mouth.

He’d been injured quite greviously by that snake’s glance, and not only was his blood Qi hurt, his mental power was shocked as well.

The Star Palace in his sea of consciousness was filled with cracks, looking as if it would crumble apart with just a bit more force.

Bei Feng felt a great lingering fear in his heart. If his Star Palace hadn’t helped him to block this mental shock, he would have received a greater injury. If it was light, his soul would be damaged, and if it was serious, his soul would be scattered!

Bei Feng carefully revolved the Stargazing Art and began to attract the stellar power in the universe. The visible starlight and those he could not see both cascaded down toward him.

Around every planet, there couldn’t only be a single type of star. There was an entire galaxy of stars, and all kinds of stellar energy!

The planet Bei Feng was on had more stars around it. As Bei Feng cultivated, countless rays of invisible stellar energy flowed into his Star Palace.

As the stellar energy was absorbed into his body, the unstable Star Palace began to settle down. Bei Feng loosed a breath and calmed himself. Although the Star Palace still looked to be in a rather terrible state, it wasn’t in danger of collapsing at least.

Night descended, and Bei Feng’s body was wrapped in a faint multicolored light.

Numerous palm-sized mosquitoes rushed toward Bei Feng upon sensing the light, but before they could reach him, all of them were instantly corroded by the light, dying in all kinds of strange manners!

These mosquitoes could not even be counted as Demonic Beasts, and were only slightly stronger than normal mosquitoes. Some of the mosquitoes directly froze to death, some were burned alive, and some rotted on the spot.

This was all from the differently attributed kinds of stellar energy surrounding Bei Feng. Although the stellar energy was very weak, and could not even kill a Light Jing cultivator, it was lethal to these short-lived bugs.

‘Luckily, I wasn’t injured too heavily. My blood Qi had gone out of control for a moment, and will be fine with a couple days of recuperation. The damage to my Star Palace, on the other hand, will require more time to recover.’

Bei Feng breathed out slowly. It was a pity that the Star Palace recovered too slowly. Bei Feng still needed more materials for his star gathering formation. Otherwise, he could try making one directly to help with the Star Palace’s recovery.

Bei Feng looked around him and at the gorge surrounded by mountains on all sides, and decided to pull the egg out.

“Boom!”

A loud rumbling sound rang out, and the entire mountain gorge tremored heavily.

“What’s the family head doing? How come there’s such a commotion,” Lu Bu muttered to himself.

“Family Head’s transformation was too great; the family head we saw three years ago was completely different compared to now.”

Lu Bing sighed gently in response.

“The line between life and death is extremely frightening, and can stimulate a person’s entire mindset. The family head had once passed by the gates of death and escaped by making a breakthrough at the last minute. Following that, his cultivation began to rise rapidly. These few months, the family head’s improvements was really too quick.”

Lu Bu shook his head. He thought that he himself was a very hardworking person, but after seeing how the family head had been cultivating these few months, he found that he was far too lacking.

Inside the gorge, Bei Feng’s mouth was twitching uncontrollably as he looked at the egg before him. He knew that this egg was heavy, but he’d never expected it to be this heavy!

Two-thirds of the thousand something meters egg had directly sank into the muddy bank by the side of the lake, only leaving about 300 meters of it still exposed.

But, at least the height of this egg had been greatly lessened like this, and it was now shorter than the mountains around the gorge. At the very least, it wouldnt be easily discovered by others.

“Ding! 7 Moon Grade treasure obtained, Mixed Blood Primal Chaos Snake Egg! (A pure-blooded Primal Chaos Snake is a powerful beast that feeds on planets and stars. It is an overlord among Peak Level Demonic Beasts! This egg was laid by a Mixed Blood Primal Chaos Snake at the Empyrean realm! As the incubation was unsuccessful, this egg will not hatch. This egg contains a dense amount of energy, suitable for nourishing a baby Primal Chaos Snake.) Experience gained: 8,000,000!”

Bei Feng’s excited gaze dimmed greatly, and his heart was filled with pity.

He finally understood why the huge Demonic Beast had simply upped and left without caring about its eggs. So it turned out that these eggs were all failed products, and would not hatch.

Originally, Bei Feng had been anticipating that the youngling of the powerful Demonic Beast would hatch from the egg, giving him a strong helper on his journey. But unfortunately it was a dead egg.

“Even if it’s like that, since it’d been given such a high evaluation by the System, the amount of energy in this egg must be extremely huge, enough to be measured as an ocean of energy. The only question is if this energy is suitable for me to absorb.”

Bei Feng touched the surface of the egg with some doubt.

“Weng, weng!”

Bei Feng’s body suddenly stiffened as the three Star Gods suddenly appeared, and even revolved around him!

Bei Feng could feel the thirst and even agitation on them as they looked at the egg!

Without Bei Feng doing anything, the stellar acupoint formed by the little fox’s soul blood and the evil source energy also began to tremble with excitement!

The wind chimes on the eight corners of the Star Palace also began to ring in unison. Bei Feng watched with wide eyes and open mouth as the Star Palace wavered as if it wanted to rush out of his sea of consciousness!

“Could it be that the energy in this is an indescribable ocean of stellar energy?!”

Bei Feng was confused. Wasn’t it supposed to be blood Qi energy that was more suitable for nourishing the Primal Chaos snake?

‘Although I’m inside the Hundred Break Mountain Range, it’s hard to say if other people would not find this hiding place. It’s better to absorb the energy inside this egg as soon as possible. Even if I can’t finish absorbing it by myself, I can let Lu Bu and the rest have a go.’

Bei Feng made his decision. It was always wise to play safe!

This egg was incomparably huge, and its shell was extremely hard. Bei Feng did not use any weapons, and directly used the fish hook against it!

Numerous waves of blood Qi energy flowed into the fishing rod, causing the line to turn red with a crystalline glow. Apart from the incomparably sharp hook, there wasn’t anything else on Bei Feng’s body that was capable of breaking this egg shell apart!

Under his control, a length of 100 meter long fishing line swam through the air like an agile snake.

“Ding!”

The fishing line suddenly seemed to have turned exceedingly heavy as it sliced down towards the huge egg with the fishing hook!

A crisp sound rang out as the sharp end of the hook directly poked into the egg shell. Bei Feng controlled the hook to dig into the shell and pulled it down to one side forcefully!

The reason he did this was because the hook would directly meld into the egg if he didn’t pull immediately, and if the hook wasn’t deep enough, it would detach from the egg if he pulled too hard!

Bei Feng could only pray that the shell of this egg wasn’t too thick. But looking at the massive size of it right now, even he did not dare to believe that it would not be thick.

Time passed slowly, and Bei Feng’s entire night of effort only resulted in a 10 cm deep and five cm long line on the shell. To this huge egg, it was not worth a mention at all.

But no matter what, it was enough for Bei Feng to catch a glimpse of hope. After some thought, Bei Feng directly used the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique!

“Hou!”

A hundred meter tall silver white Giant Bear manifestation appeared behind Bei Feng, and with a smash of its fist, a punch landed on the mountain peak!

“Boom!”

Numerous layers of giantic rocks rumbled down; only after two hours did the crumbling sounds fade away.

Large amounts of rocks cascaded down the mountain, directly landing around the giant egg and burying it!

This egg was simply too huge, and its weight was frightening. At the very least, it was not something that Bei Feng could lift with his strength alone.

In that case, he might as well bury it directly with rubble. Otherwise, even a fool would be able to tell that this egg was not ordinary. On the other hand, nobody would pay much attention to a pile of rocks.

Bei Feng walked out of the gorge and instructed Lu Bu and the rest to stand guard around the gorge at all times, not letting anyone enter the place. As for Bei Feng, he went out with Lu Bing and a few other guards to hunt!

Numerous Demonic Beasts were killed and brought back to the gorge, where their carcasses were piled into a small mountain.

***

There were countless martial cultivators in the Hundred Break Mountain Range, but most of them lingered on the outer fringes. Not many people dared to approach the core area.

Only those teams with Thousand Year Kings would dare to delve deeply into the mountain range. The core section was wild and untraversed by humans, and all kinds of Demonic Beasts could be found in abundance there. Even Demonic Beasts at the Thousand Year King realm were not lacking. The natural treasures were naturally much more common.

Of course, the outer perimeters were much safer. As long as one did not meet a large group of Demonic Beasts, there wouldn’t be any problems.

But because it was safer and more suitable for cultivators below the Thousand Year King realm, there were much higher volumes of cultivators there. After so many years of combing, most of the valuable stuff had already been picked clean long ago.

At this point, the only profits one could obtain at such areas were the Demonic Beasts. The Demonic Beasts in the Heaven Connecting Towers seemed nearly endless. After killing one, another would appear on the same area after a few days.

“How come the number of Demonic Beasts seems to be getting less lately?”

“Exactly, perhaps this region has been combed too fiercely.”

“It’s these damned gangster rabbits that are super common instead. A bunch of completely worthless trash creatures!”

A group of over a hundred cultivators complained as they trudged through the outer perimeters. This was a team of hunters who only concentrated on killing Demonic Beasts. There were 10 Fourth Layer cultivators, and around 100 Third Layer cultivators. This strength was already one of the strongest in the outer perimeters.

As the group moved through the forest, a person raised the saber in his hand and directly killed a Second Layer gangster rabbit in one stroke.
