Chapter 80 The Mystic Beast Egg Cracks Open
In the darkness of night, the flames on Fire Demon Mountain Range burned even more fiercely, resembling ghostly fires in a graveyard. The martial artists participating in the assessment had all hidden themselves away, leaving only the ferocious mystic beasts to roam the forest in search of prey.
"Roar!"
A deafening beastly roar echoed from the distance. Standing atop a tree branch, one could see a massive winged elephant soaring through the air, spewing flames from its mouth. The fire ignited an entire mountain ridge, painting the sky crimson.
This winged elephant was none other than the fourth-grade mystic beast, the Flying Sky Elephant. Capable of spitting high-temperature flames and generating sharp wind blades with its wings, it was a creature to be feared.
Upon encountering such a high-level mystic beast, Ning Xiaochuan had no choice but to flee—hunting it was out of the question.
Suddenly, Ning Xiaochuan sensed a faint rustling behind him. He halted and glanced back, demanding, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
The forest remained eerily silent.
Ning Xiaochuan continued forward, abruptly increasing his speed until he moved like a gust of wind!
From behind a large tree, a small red dragon cautiously peeked out, half of its head visible. The dragon horns on its head emitted a faint white glow, with tiny specks of light swirling around its body.
It glanced ahead, only to find Ning Xiaochuan’s figure had vanished. Its eyes widened in shock, and it stepped out from behind the tree, frantically searching for him.
Where did he go?
"So it really is you. Why have you been following me for so long?" Ning Xiaochuan emerged from behind it.
The small red dragon was startled and immediately flapped its wings to take flight. It bared its fangs and claws at Ning Xiaochuan, letting out fierce roars—"Roar! Roar! Roar!"—its expression savage and menacing.
"Thud!"
Ning Xiaochuan slapped it to the ground, then lifted it up by its tiny tail. "What kind of dragon are you, anyway?"
Dizzy from the slap, the small red dragon stuck out its tongue, its eyes rolling back.
Ning Xiaochuan continued, "Are you after that Mystic Beast Egg? Is it yours? Judging by your size, you don’t seem capable of laying such a large egg. Or do you just want to eat it?"
Hearing this, the small red dragon instantly snapped out of its daze. It roared angrily at Ning Xiaochuan, its four tiny claws swiping and tearing at his clothes, launching a vicious attack.
Ning Xiaochuan flung it away.
"Smack!"
It crashed into a tree trunk with a pitiful yelp, its body plastered against the bark like a gecko. Slowly sliding down, it collapsed limply to the ground, stars spinning in its eyes.
This small red dragon possessed remarkable intelligence, which piqued Ning Xiaochuan’s curiosity about the Mystic Beast Egg. He retrieved the egg from his Heaven and Earth Bag and placed it on the ground.
The Mystic Beast Egg, measuring a full meter in diameter, emitted a faint white glow. A peculiar fragrance wafted from its shell.
The moment the small red dragon caught the scent, its eyes lit up. It flapped its wings and flew up again, a red auspicious cloud forming beneath its body. A mysterious radiance shone from its head as it fixed its gaze intently on the egg.
Yet, it remained wary of Ning Xiaochuan and dared not approach.
"Hmm?"
Ning Xiaochuan let out a soft exclamation as he spotted a tiny crack on the shell of the Mystic Beast Egg! He clearly remembered that when he first laid eyes on this egg, its surface had been smooth as jade, without a single flaw. Could it have been accidentally dropped and cracked at some point?
The small red dragon also noticed the crack on the egg and immediately flew into a rage, letting out a series of chirping sounds as if scolding Ning Xiaochuan for failing to protect the Mystic Beast Egg properly. It raised its tiny claws and growled fiercely, ready to engage Ning Xiaochuan in another life-or-death battle. Its stance made it clear—it was determined to fight to the bitter end.
Seeing the little creature’s agitation, Ning Xiaochuan waved his hand and swatted it away, then turned his attention to examining the crack closely. "No… this crack wasn’t caused by impact. It’s from internal pressure. Could it be… could it be that the hatchling inside is about to break free?" His heart raced with excitement, eager to see what grade of mystic beast would emerge from the egg. This Mystic Beast Egg was anything but ordinary. If he could obtain a powerful mystic beast as a combat partner, his strength would skyrocket. Moreover, mystic beasts were fiercely loyal, so he wouldn’t have to worry about betrayal.
The scent emanating from the crack in the eggshell grew increasingly intense, spreading through the jungle and even drifting farther into the distance.
"Boom! Boom!"
The thunderous sound of beastly hooves approaching snapped Ning Xiaochuan out of his thoughts. Realizing the danger, he quickly stashed the Mystic Beast Egg into the Heaven and Earth Bag. The alluring fragrance from the egg was irresistible to other mystic beasts, drawing ferocious creatures from the surrounding mountains. Soon, Ning Xiaochuan and the small red dragon found themselves encircled.
Standing straight beneath a towering tree, Ning Xiaochuan scanned his surroundings, spotting pairs of eerie bone-green eyes gleaming in the darkness, accompanied by strange noises and howls. Countless eyes lurked in the shadows—some crouched low on the ground, others coiled around tree trunks, and a few hovering in the sky.
The small red dragon, having landed on the ground, stood upright on its hind legs, visibly shaken by the bloodthirsty aura radiating from the surrounding mystic beasts. It kept pointing at Ning Xiaochuan with one claw, as if saying, "The egg’s with him! Not my fault, not my fault!"
"Roar!"
A three-meter-tall black Profound Devouring Wolf burst from the trees, its maw dripping with Blood Qi and claws sharp as blades. The massive beast lunged straight at Ning Xiaochuan.
Channeling Profound Qi, Ning Xiaochuan’s body erupted with countless streaks of lightning. His fingers crackled with electricity as he slammed his palm onto the wolf’s skull, shattering its head into pieces and sending its lifeless body crashing to the ground.
"BOOM!"
With a thunderous roar, Ning Xiaochuan unleashed a deafening cry that shook the earth, forcing the surrounding mystic beasts to stagger back in fear. By nature, mystic beasts feared lightning—an instinctive terror.
Directing Profound Qi to his legs, Ning Xiaochuan’s limbs crackled with electric energy. He unleashed a "Lightning Divine Beast" with a single strike, sending six or seven mystic beasts flying before dashing in one direction to escape.
The small red dragon closely followed behind Ning Xiaochuan, flapping its wings as it ran. In its nervousness, it couldn’t take flight and could only rely on its tiny claws to sprint.
"Roar!"
Some powerful mystic beasts, undeterred by the sound of Heavenly Thunder, swiftly chased after Ning Xiaochuan.
Glancing back, Ning Xiaochuan saw three mystic beasts in pursuit, all at the third-grade level: a massive golden lion, a three-headed dog with wings, and a black centipede over 10 meters long.
The strongest among them was undoubtedly the golden lion, its Blood Qi dense, its fur gleaming like gold, its roars shaking the heavens and earth, and its speed the fastest.
Ning Xiaochuan was selecting his prey. Now, he only needed to hunt one more third-grade mystic beast to refine his second divine ability to Great Perfection and break through to the Third Level of the Divine Body Realm.
This Golden Battle Lion would be the one!
In the intense chase, the distance between Ning Xiaochuan and the Golden Battle Lion narrowed, while the other two mystic beasts fell far behind.
Now was the moment.
Ning Xiaochuan abruptly halted, spinning around to face the charging Golden Battle Lion. A fierce sword aura erupted from his body, as if he had transformed into a sword deity descending upon the world!
"Annihilation Demonic Sword!"
As the Golden Battle Lion lunged at him, Ning Xiaochuan struck. His finger shot out like Lightning, pointing directly at the lion’s brow. A crimson sword beam sliced through the air, cleaving the beast’s head in two.
"Thud!"
Blood splattered onto Ning Xiaochuan, scalding like molten lava.
He swiftly stored the Golden Battle Lion’s corpse into the Heaven and Earth Bag and fled at full speed.
The small red dragon, hiding atop a large tree, watched as Ning Xiaochuan gradually escaped into the distance. Then, flitting between branches, it chased after him.
After shaking off the other two third-grade mystic beasts, Ning Xiaochuan found a secluded spot and began absorbing the Golden Battle Lion’s Blood Qi to break through to the Third Level of the Divine Body Realm.
"Boom!"
The power of the Demonic Sword surged forth, enveloping Ning Xiaochuan’s body in razor-sharp sword beams. The vast Blood Qi of the Golden Battle Lion poured into him, rapidly elevating his cultivation.
The small red dragon sneaked out, tiptoeing closer to Ning Xiaochuan until it stood right before him.
The terrifying sword aura emanating from the Demonic Sword couldn’t harm it at all.
Opening its mouth, it inhaled a strand of the Demonic Sword’s aura, causing its body to glow brilliantly. As the light dimmed, its body grew slightly longer.
It examined itself, rolling excitedly on the ground with gleeful "awoo" sounds, then swallowed another strand of sword aura, growing another fraction longer.
After absorbing fifteen strands of the Demonic Sword’s aura, its body lengthened from 1 meter to 1.2 meters.
Seeing Ning Xiaochuan still meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly unaware of its presence, it grew even more thrilled. Scratching its head with a tiny claw, its eyes suddenly sparkled—it had a brilliant idea.
It shrank its body back to 1 meter in length and hid once more!
Ning Xiaochuan, though his eyes were closed, possessed Heart Spirit Perception and naturally witnessed the series of transformations in the small red dragon. He was utterly shocked—after absorbing the Demonic Sword's sword energy, the small red dragon was actually able to grow!
In the darkness of night, the flames on Fire Demon Mountain Range burned even more fiercely, resembling ghostly fires in a graveyard. The martial artists participating in the assessment had all hidden themselves away, leaving only the ferocious mystic beasts to roam the forest in search of prey.
