After all the blood clan experts left, Long Chen and Dongming Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiaoxue had taken them into the giant egg; otherwise, they would have truly ended their lives here today.
Long Chen pressed his large hand against Xiaoxue's head, and soul power slowly flowed into her sea of consciousness. However, at this moment, most of Xiaoxue's consciousness was in absolute sleep, with only a small part of it operating, and that part of her consciousness was in a hazy state.
When Long Chen's soul power surged in, Xiaoxue let his soul power cover her primordial spirit without any resistance.
What surprised Long Chen was that Xiaoxue's primordial spirit was extremely powerful, naturally carrying a terrifying divine energy. This energy was almost identical to the power of a god.
Long Chen's soul power attached to Xiaoxue's primordial spirit was extremely dangerous. If Xiaoxue resisted, Long Chen's primordial spirit would be instantly damaged, even at risk of collapse.
Long Chen's primordial spirit was believed to be unrivaled in Tianwu. He had never encountered anyone stronger than his primordial spirit, yet in front of Xiao Xue, it seemed so insignificant.
You have to know, at this moment, most of Xiaoxue's primordial spirit was in an absolutely dormant state, yet she still exerted terrifying pressure on him.
As Long Chen's soul seeped in, countless images flooded his mind, and soon he roughly understood Xiaoxue's experiences after entering the Giant Egg.
Back then, Long Chen left Xiaoxue's soul inside this giant egg. Xiaoxue's soul fused with the original owner of the egg, and the original owner's soul was in a state of confusion.
After Xiaoxue fused, her entire soul will was dominated by her. It could be said that this was almost a form of possession.
By examining Xiaoxue's memories, Long Chen discovered that after Long Chen left the Yin-Yang Realm, the blood clan experts began massacring all living beings within the realm.
After those beings were killed, endless nutrients were absorbed by chains underground like spider webs, eventually flowing into the giant egg to nourish Xiaoxue's body.
It was from that moment that Xiaoxue's body began to grow rapidly. Originally, it was only the shape of a fetus, but now it was over a hundred li long, with bones and flesh basically formed inside.
But at this moment, it's the key to its growth. It needs more energy, and this energy needs to be nourished by absorbing powerful life force.
When powerful beings die, their life essence is absorbed by chains beneath the earth and eventually flows into the giant egg.
Originally, Xiaoxue had been in a deep sleep, her perception of the outside world intermittent. But recently, a massive influx of life essence poured into the egg, causing it to grow rapidly, and even part of its soul began to slowly awaken.
Long Chen calculated that during that period, the Blood Clan launched an attack on the Tianwu Continent, and it turned out Xiaoxue was the ultimate beneficiary of the great battle.
However, Xiaoxue's body was terrifying. Without the nourishment of vast life force, not only was it unable to move, but even the awakened soul power could only respond in a daze.
Just now, having stored Long Chen and Dongming Jade inside the giant egg was already its limit, and it had consumed a lot of its power, causing its soul power to fall into a half-awake state again, unable to communicate effectively with Long Chen.
After learning all this, Long Chen was shocked. What exactly was Xiaoxue's body, and how could it be so terrifying?
That giant core has been here for countless years, continuously nourished by the life forms of the entire Yin-Yang Realm.
Now, that pool of Divine Life Liquid had been completely absorbed by it, and all the powerful beings in the Yin-Yang Realm had been slaughtered by the blood clan.
Moreover, after fighting the blood clan and killing so many powerful beings, all the endless vitality flowed into the giant egg, yet Xiaoxue still couldn't fully form and awaken.
Just the energy required to nurture a life is enough to terrify anyone, so how terrifying would Xiaoxue be when she hatched?
"Xiaoxue, don't worry. I'll help you. I believe we'll meet soon." Long Chen gently stroked Xiaoxue's massive head and spoke softly.
He recalled the days when he and Xiaoxue left the Fengming Empire together, carrying endless hope into the unknown world of cultivation. It was Xiaoxue who accompanied him all the way, never leaving his side.
Now, seeing Xiaoxue about to have a new body—and an incredibly terrifying one—Long Chen's heart burned with excitement.
"Wu..."
In Long Chen's mind, Xiaoxue's faint soul fluctuation echoed again, as if it was a response to him.
"Xiaoxue, send us out. I'll do my best to wake you up early and reunite as soon as possible." Long Chen gently patted Xiaoxue's head and said.
Without Xiaoxue's help, they wouldn't have been able to leave this giant egg. Long Chen sensed a trace of reluctance in Xiaoxue's soul fluctuations, clearly not wanting Long Chen to leave so soon.
Long Chen didn't know how to comfort Xiaoxue either, so he could only use his large hand to stroke her head, pressing his face against its body.
After a full incense stick's time, the giant egg trembled slightly. Long Chen immediately felt the space distort, and Long Chen and Dongming Yu had already appeared outside the egg.
Long Chen stroked the giant egg and found that Xiaoxue's primordial spirit had fallen into a deep sleep. Clearly, this in-and-out had drained a lot of Xiaoxue's strength.
"Xiaoxue, don't worry, we'll meet soon outside." Long Chen gently kissed the giant egg before reluctantly taking Dongming Yu away.
The two climbed upward, and upon reaching the valley, they found no one around.
Thinking about it, it made sense—the giant egg where Xiaoxue was was terrifying. No one could harm it, let alone steal it—there was no need for guards.
"Brother Long Chen, should we go back now?" Xiaoxue was unharmed, as if their mission was complete.
"No, we have other things to do."
Long Chen grabbed Dongming Jade and dashed toward the depths of the Yin-Yang Realm, his figure disappearing into the towering mountains.
...
"Rumble... Mountains
shattered, waves of energy surged, and countless Blood Clan experts were like a pack of hungry wolves, frantically hunting a man.
The man fought back with all his might. The phenomenon behind him flared up, the wind of his fists surging as he fought fiercely with a red-haired vampire clan man, while also dealing with the siege of other vampire clan experts.
The bloodclan man, with a head full of red hair, had his entire body circulating with blood and energy, bound by chains, and possessed formidable combat power.
However, in terms of actual combat power, he was not as strong as that human warrior. However, there were too many blood clan experts. Whenever that human warrior tried to counterattack, his spells were interrupted by other blood clan experts. With only his full strength, he couldn't use it, his whole body covered in blood and bruises.
"Blood clan beasts, may you die a horrible death." The human warrior roared in fury. Under the siege of everyone, his aura grew weaker and weaker. Even the strange phenomena behind him began to tremble, showing signs of collapse at any moment.
At this moment, his death was already a certain matter, but he was still unwilling to accept it, struggling to hold on. His breath grew weaker and weaker. Even in despair, he did not give up, showing just how determined his resolve was.
"Too bad you won't see it. I can trade your heads for a hundred high-grade spiritual roots. Haha, go ahead and relax!"
The bloodclan man with a head full of red hair laughed heartily, his fists wrapped in blood-red chains as he launched a frenzied attack.
"Pfft"
The human man had just blocked a punch from the red-haired vampire man, but was struck in the back by another vampire expert, blood spraying everywhere.
None of those blood clan experts used deadly weapons, and not far away, a group of strangely dressed blood clan experts were waiting.
They held strange knives in their hands. In fact, these blood clan experts specialized in dissecting human corpses to separate human spiritual roots, essence blood, and souls. After humans die, these items begin to rapidly disappear, so they need to remove them as quickly as possible.
"Even if I were a ghost, I wouldn't let you go."
The human expert knew he could not escape death. Suddenly, he turned his head and slammed a fierce punch at the blood clan experts attacking him.
"Puff puff puff...
This punch contained all the power of that human powerhouse. Before dying, he had to drag a few more people down with him. With one punch, he charged into the mountains, shattering more than a dozen elite blood clan experts with a single blow.
The human warrior threw a punch, draining all his vitality. Facing the red-haired vampire man's attack, he was powerless to fight back and could only wait for death to strike.
"Pfft"
The human powerhouse, knowing he was doomed, still stared intently at the bloodline man with a head full of red hair. He wanted to remember the man's face, but a cold flash flashed by, and the bloodline man's head flew off and was grabbed by a cloaked figure.
"What?"
The human powerhouse was both shocked and delighted, because he knew the person who made the move was a human.
"Whoosh"
Before the human powerhouse could react, a powerful hand grabbed him and threw him high into the air.
"World-Destroying Fire Lotus!"
"Boom!"
A flaming lotus exploded from the crowd, its watery flames engulfing heaven and earth. The blood clan experts hadn't even understood what was happening before they were swallowed by the flames.
Everything happened so suddenly that the blood clan experts hadn't even reacted before they were burned to ashes. Only a few elite warriors were engulfed in flames and fled wildly outside.
"Puff puff puff...
But they hadn't run far before being pierced through the head by bolts of thunder, slaughtered one after another. In almost three breaths, all the blood clan members were wiped out.
The human warrior looked utterly shocked as he stared at the two figures before him. After all, these people were elite members of the blood clan, yet they were wiped out in an instant.
"May I ask both ...?"
When the man saw Long Chen and Dongmingyu's faces clearly, his expression turned somewhat suspicious and uncertain, because he also noticed that Long Chen and Dongmingyu seemed very different from him.
"Now is not the time to talk. Let's leave here first."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he produced a spear in his hand and slammed it hard onto the ground. A huge crater was smashed into the earth, a surrounding mountain was pierced, and endless river water surged into the pit.
This way, the traces of the battle could be temporarily concealed. Now, the entire Yin-Yang Realm had become a hunting ground, and no one should be able to investigate for the time being. After finishing all this, Long Chen and the others left.
