1572 Cannot Retreat, Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather Attacks, The Egg Cracks

A rare battle broke out in the Chaos Fragment.

Prodigies from various forces, such as the Buddhist world, Yokai Tribe, Restricted Areas, and so on engaged in a fierce battle. Dazzling but dangerous energies scattered across the sky and intertwined with the Chaos qi in the area to form a beautiful scene.

However, behind the beauty was lethality.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions from the battle between Jue Wushen and Xue Kunpeng went off amidst the chaos.

The void energy and the subspecies yokai qi intertwined, which further exacerbated the already deadly blasts in the area.

"Celestial Demon qi is indeed terrifying, but you are lackluster!" Xue Kunpeng grinned.

The crimson yokai qi in him surged as he blasted it at Jue Wushen, dissolving his Void energy again and again.

"A Peerless Prodigy is indeed powerful. I have just broken through into the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm, and although I might be able to match him for now, I won't last long," Jue Wushen muttered with furrowed brows.

He believed that in time, he would grow to match Xue Kunpeng or even be stronger than him. Unfortunately, he did not have that opportunity.

He glanced at the massive egg behind him and had a look of determination in his gaze. "No matter what happens, I cannot retreat before the King comes out."

He was almost certain that Chu Kuangren was inside the massive egg.

Otherwise, the commotion would have attracted Chu Kuangren's attention, and he would have come to their aid.

Now would be the time for them to protect their King!

"Heaven-Shadowing Palm!"

A massive palm crashed down from the sky, carrying immense pressure that would crush all souls.

It was the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist using his avatar to unleash the palm attack!

The cultivators under the falling palm were forced to flee, except for a figure in green.

The man stared at the massive palm that was crashing with sheer determination. He wielded his bamboo sword, and his eyes gleamed with Immortal Sparks.

Sword qi surrounded him and soon formed a massive tornado around him.

"Immortal Destruction Sword Qi, Immortal Slaughter!"

The bamboo sword trembled and released a massive surge of sword qi into the sky.

All things fell before the sheer size and pressure of the sword qi.

It did not take long before the space around him started to crumble and collapse.

When the sword qi clashed with the massive palm, billions of Immortal Sparks exploded and blinded the area! It was as though doomsday had arrived!

"What a terrifying energy!"

"The fight between the host of an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique and a Peerless Prodigy is really terrifying!"

Some of the cultivators were horrified by the sheer scale of the battle.

Bang!

A figure was blasted out of the blinding Immortal Sparks, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

On a closer look, it was Ye Zhu!

"Ye Zhu lost?"

Some of the Prodigies found the outcome unsurprising.

The Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique was strong, but as the one who ruled over the Nine Houses, the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist had the Immortal Hall as support. With his cultivation level, he should not be underestimated.

"Not only Chu Kuangren, but I will also erase your existence!"

The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist stood in the air, overflowing Immortal Sparks that made him the spotlight.

A frosty glint flashed in his eyes. To him, Chu Kuangren and his friends were an obstacle, and allowing them to live would be a threat.

It would be wise to deal with all of them once and for all today.

"Hmph! We still don't know for sure," Ye Chu said with a smile. He wiped the blood off his lips, and from the look in his eyes, he refused to yield.

The battle between various forces continued.

Due to the fierceness of the battle, no one was aware of the Chaos qi in the area thinning rapidly.

The Chaos qi grew so thin that the great ones outside the Chaos Fragment could already peek inside with their Immortal Consciousness.

"The Chaos qi is thinning. Something is happening inside the Chaos Fragment!"

"What is going on!? Why is everyone fighting?"

Some of the great ones were shocked when they saw the battle royale.

What caused the sky-prides and Prodigies to fight?

"What's going on?"

"What is that egg? Could it be some Celestial Demon again?"

The great ones communicated via their Immortal Consciousnesses and were baffled by the existence of the egg.

For some reason, they sensed a massive energy brewing inside the egg, as if something terrifying was hatching.

…

The battle between Ziyue Changkong and the three ladies continued.

Lan Yu and the other two knew that Ziyue Changkong excelled in the soul technique, so it would be best not to let him cast any of it. Otherwise, other than Shang Honghua, she and Chu Hong would be rendered defenseless.

Among the three of them, only Lan Yu had broken through to the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm, so she took the role of the main attacker while the other two supported her. They attacked with speed and various offensive methods, and all techniques were cast in succession, leaving Ziyue Changkong with no time to cast his soul techniques.

"How annoying!"

Ziyue Changkong's violet eyes showed a hint of frostiness.

Then, he revealed a bronze mirror that had runes circulating on its surface. It seemed to contain some kind of mystic energy.

The moment the mirror shone, Immortal Sparks shimmered.

When being shone at, Lan Yu and Chu Hong froze on the spot, as if their souls were pinned.

Only Shang Honghua, who cultivated the Restful Mantra, managed to resist the mirror. She narrowed her eyes and channeled the Double Dragon energy to the limit. She stood in front of her comrades and bought them some time.

Lan Yu managed to recover with the time bought, but she had a grim look on her face. "Be careful of the mirror's shine."

"Okay!"

Chu Hong recovered shortly after Lan Yu and nodded to the advice.

Ziyue Changkong, who was holding the mirror high up in the air, scoffed and said, "You three can't stop me, just like Ye Zhu and Jue Wushen can't stop the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist and Xue Kunpeng."

"Chu Kuangren!"

At that moment, the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather shouted.

Having managed to break free from his imaginary battle with himself, he stared at the egg with determination overflowing from his eyes. "You must die today, or you'll be the Demonic Blockade that will haunt me for the rest of my life!"

He had finally decided to act. After struggling with his thoughts for a while, he suppressed the fear he had for Chu Kuangren.

He knew if he remained still, Chu Kuangren would become the Demonic Blockade that would continue to traumatize him. His cultivation would then become stagnant, and he would never be able to break through to the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm.

"Great!"

"Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather, I was right about you!"

The Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist, Xue Kunpeng, and the others were delighted.

The Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather was definitely one of the best Prodigies present. As long as he could overcome his fear for Chu Kuangren, he would be a great aid to the Eastern Sovereign Divine Daoist and the others.

With Lan Yu, Jue Wushen, Ye Zhu, and the others engaged, no one was there to hold the Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather back.

"Golden Crow Nine Shining Rings!"

The golden ring behind Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather shone brightly and released endless Immortal Sparks. Golden Crow Flame burst out and formed a massive claw to attack the egg.

Bang!

The fiery claw was powerful! Not even an Arch Gilded Immortal could withstand it unscathed.

Bang!

The fiery claw landed precisely on the massive egg.

"No!"

"My King!"

Lan Yu and the others were shocked.

The Chaos qi on the egg's surface rumbled and intertwined with the Golden Crow Flame before it dissipated.

The attack was not enough to break the egg, but it managed to erase half of the Chaos qi surrounding it.

"One more strike!"

The Golden Crow Pseudo-Forefather narrowed his eyes and prepared for a second attack.

However, at that moment, the remaining Chaos qi on the egg's surface disappeared completely, and cracks started to appear.

Following that, green light burst from the cracks.
